There was deathly silence on Xiayi City.

The joy just now because of defeating the Song Army again was replaced by huge panic.

The Song army did not withdraw, nor did it launch another attack.

They just took a group of people and planted some flags under the city.

The three thousand cavalrymen from Shangqiu were almost completely wiped out on that small beach. Even their general, Shang Zhen, the former deputy commander of the Dragon Guard Army, was captured alive.

The commander of the Dragon Guard Army, Xiang Hai, was killed by Qin Min during King Jing's rebellion. In that battle, the elite of the Dragon Guard Army were defeated by the elite of the former frontier army led by Qin Min.

After Xiang Hai's death, Shang Zhen's prestige was insufficient, and the command of the Long Wei Army completely fell into the hands of Huang Chun.

In the Battle of Tokyo, most of the Dragon Guard soldiers surrendered to the Liao people along with Huang Chun.

But this time, the last remaining elite of the former Dragon Guard were completely defeated by Wei Wu.

It can almost be said that the Dragon Guard Army can be removed from the list.

The dejected Shang Zhen, under the coercion of the knife, shouted to the city, which was nothing more than to persuade him to surrender. Wei Wu did not expect that such a shout would make Xiayi surrender immediately, but for their high spirits

The blow can be said to be unparalleled.

There are no troops outside that must be reinforced, and there is no city that must be defended within.

Let alone a small city like Xiayi, what if it was a big and impregnable city?

It's just a matter of time.

The prisoners were taken away, and the flags of all colors were taken away.

Below the city, there were thunderous cheers, but above the city, the faces were ashen.

Then, they saw several horses from the city dragging a long guy to the front of the formation. After a while of busy work, a long tube pointed at the head of the city in the distance.

Although I don't know what it is, my instinct as a soldier is still there.

Everyone felt the great danger.

Then, the danger came.

There was a loud sound like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and clouds of white smoke flew up above the Song Army's position. Then, half of the gate tower of the east gate of Xiayi collapsed, and the flames ignited. Under the gate tower, ten people

Several soldiers rolled on the ground, wailing, and some even lay on the ground without making any sound.

Huang Hai half-knelt on the ground, trembling slightly. The fallen gate beam was only a few feet away from him. The guard who had just knocked him away was lying at his feet, and the beam was pressing on him.

, the blood in the mouth is pouring out one after another.

There was a panic on the city wall.

At this moment, the city was filled with cheers that shook the sky.

Because at the moment when the loud noise was heard, all the Song troops under the city were also shocked.

It was also the first time for them to see this kind of weapon.

The range is so far and the power is so great, it is much more powerful than a trebuchet.

What's even more gratifying is that such a weapon is owned by our side.

As night fell, the Song army withdrew towards the distant camp one by one. Today's attack came to an end again.

But the soldiers in Xiayi City showed no joy at all.

Some are just deep and boundless fear.

At the White Feather Army camp, Wei Wu looked at the dozen generals under his seat and laughed loudly: "This is a cannon, an artillery piece. This thing is Erlang, oh, it's the chief assistant. When the chief assistant was still working as a pacifier on Guizhou Road,

When I was researching, at the beginning, they were just some wooden cannons. Haha, you may not know that these wooden cannons were originally installed on ships. During the Battle of Han River, our navy killed the traitor Liu Zheng.

They were beaten and fled in embarrassment. This kind of bronze cannon was just made this year. There are only a few in total, and the chief assistants have all been sent to us!"

Everyone in the room cheered, not because of the cannon, but because of the meaning behind it.

This means that their White Feather Army's status is unique.

Even Zhang Jie was also excited.

It is very important to follow the right person.

If you follow the right path, the road to Qingyun will be open to you; if you follow the wrong path, you will make meritorious deeds until death, and the upward passage will be closed to you at a certain point.

"Zhang Jie!" Wei Wu put down his hands to stop everyone from cheering, and then was the first to call Zhang Jie's name.

"The end is here!" Zhang Jie strode forward.

"Today's day battle, your unit performed the best!" When he said this, Wei Wu glanced at the White Feather Army Shengsheng Battalion he had brought, and the battalion general immediately lowered his head. At that time, his reaction was much better than Zhang's. A little slower.

Wei Wu clapped his hands, and a soldier came over with a box in his arms and placed the box in front of Zhang Jie.

"Open it!"

Zhang Jie opened the box with some doubts. It didn't look like money, because the soldier carried it easily. If it was such a box of money, it would have been very difficult.

He opened the box and saw a box of white feathers.

In an instant, he understood the meaning.

Picking up a white feather, he knelt down on one knee, covered the white feather in front of his heart, and said loudly: "I am willing to go through fire and water for the general, thank you general for your support!"

A total of five hundred white feathers, which directly included Zhang Jie's battalion into the order of the White Feather Army.

"Our White Feather Army currently has ten battle camps and one personal guard camp. Now with you, we have eleven battalions!" Wei Wu smiled and looked around at some of the other generals in the room who were full of envy, and said: "Opportunity They are equal, as long as you perform well, you can become a member of Baiyu! There are still battles to be fought, it depends on whether you can make meritorious deeds!"

"I am willing to die for the general!" Some other generals who, like Zhang Jiu, had just defected here, expressed their determination loudly and clasped their fists.

The feelings, including the treatment, of being accepted into the direct line and the peripheral army are definitely completely different. This is still something on the surface. There are some things hidden in it that are not humane but real. These generals Want more.

"Okay, today Bairi made a show of force with Huang Hai, and I think he can't sit still anymore." Wei Wu said with a smile.

"General, will he come to attack our military camp at night?" A general said loudly. "We have a great victory today, but I feel a little slack in my heart. That guy from Huang Hai must be thinking so. Why don't we set a trap and wait for him? Come and rob the camp!”

Wei Wu smiled slightly: "That guy may want to attack the camp, but I'm afraid his men won't think about it. There may be chaos in the city. The last way left for Huang Hai is to break out of the encirclement at night and escape for his life. Everyone, Huang Hai is a traitor. Although he is ranked a little lower on the list, whoever can catch him will be a great achievement."

Obviously, the breathing in the room became heavier.

Missions began to be released one after another, and generals began to rush to receive them.

The mission in the direction of Shangqiu has become the focus of everyone's competition, because if Huanghai wants to break through, of course it will run in the direction of Shangqiu.

After the tasks were assigned and after dinner, each army began to move towards their respective mission areas under the cover of night. Those who went to pursue and intercept them were all the newly surrendered troops. Most of the Baiyu Camp was still in the main camp. Stand ready.

This time Zhang Ji took on a mission that was completely opposite to the direction of Shangqiu, to patrol the Dongsha River.

You can't be the best at everything.

This time in the Battle of Xiayi, he has already attracted too much limelight.

First, he was directly promoted several levels by the team general and became a general of the first battalion. Then today, because of his outstanding performance in intercepting Zhao Jun's cavalry, he was directly awarded Bai Yu by Wei Wu and became the eleventh battalion of Bai Yu Army. This is already very impressive. Others are envious and jealous.

The rafters at the top will die first. Of course Zhang Jiu has to work hard to climb up, but he also doesn't want to become the object of others' jealousy, so when it's time to retreat, he will give in.

In this way, you won’t become a loser.

Moreover, the leisurely job of patrolling the Dongsha River is very suitable for him, and it can also make his soldiers relax.

If the Yellow Sea wants to break out of the encirclement, it must have some arrangements. The trapped beasts are still fighting. This final blow must be very fierce.

You can save a few brothers from dying, and you can also have other colleagues praise you for your loyalty, which is the best of both worlds.

Sitting on the river embankment, Zhang Jue chewed some dried meat and looked in the direction of Xiayi.

The treatment after becoming a direct descendant is different.

After surrendering to the Song Army, the food seemed to be the same as that of the Bai Yu Army. But now, after dinner, several large boxes of dried meat were distributed, saying that they were provided as late-night snacks for the soldiers. Each person There aren't many, just three or five, but they didn't exist before.

I asked my logistics officer Xiang Yu, but the other party smiled and said that this is the usual practice.

Whose practice, the practice of Bai Yujun.

It is conceivable that there are no people with the same status as myself in the past.

The jerky tastes good, it is marinated first and then dried.

Put it in your mouth to moisten it and soften it, then chew it slowly, and the taste will be long.

The sound of golden drums was faintly heard, and in the distance, the light of fire broke through half of the sky.

"What a fool, they are burning the city!" Zhang Jie suddenly jumped up.

Xiayi was not a simple military city. There were thousands of households in it. In order to escape, Huang Hai actually set fire to the city. This was to contain the pursuing army and buy him time to escape.

"It's so vicious. I don't know how many innocent people will die right now!" The soldiers around him complained angrily.

When the fire broke out in Xiayi, the remaining Bai Yu army, led by Wei Wu, attacked in full force and approached Xiayi.

The blazing fire lit up half the sky.

The east city gate opened with a bang, and countless people poured out, not soldiers, but residents of the city.

Nearly ten thousand ordinary people cried and howled out of the city gate.
