"What?" Wei Shizhang was shocked, grabbed Wang Xuan's arm, and asked loudly: "What happened to my second brother? Tell me quickly, what happened to my second brother?"

"After General Jia came out, things were fine at first. Unexpectedly, soon the troops on the northern mountain road lost contact. At first, General Jia thought that the heavy snow had closed the mountains and the messenger got lost in the mountains, so he sent a new messenger. Unexpectedly, the remaining troops were lost.

Several large armies also lost contact in just two days.

At this time, General Jia realized that something was wrong and immediately led his army to fight back. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the journey, there were ambushes all around. General Jia, General"

"What's wrong with my second brother? Tell me quickly, are you trying to kill me?" Wei Shizhang shook the king's choice crazily and shouted.

Wang Xuan's eyes were filled with fear, and he continued: "General Jia was hit by three arrows, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead now."

"What?" Wei Shizhang, who was really blinded by a heavy blow, murmured, "I knew it, I knew it. I should have reacted as early as when deserters came back one after another. My second brother must have

It was an attack, second brother, it was me who harmed you!!!"

"Sir, please send troops as soon as possible to rescue General Jia." Wang Xuan reminded.

"Yes, that's right," Wei Shizhang suddenly realized, "Second brother is not dead yet, and there is still hope. Someone here will pass on my order. All the remaining two thousand troops in the city should leave the city and follow me to save my second brother."

At this time, compared with his second brother Jia Mingquan, Wei Shizhang can't even care about the mere Xixiang County. Besides, there are a few thieves who are causing trouble and they all go to attack Jia Mingquan. Who will attack Xixiang County?

.

There were now more than 3,400 soldiers in Xixiang City. Wei Shizhang directly ordered all 3,000 of them, leaving more than 400 old and weak men to guard the city, and then led the army to gallop towards the official road of Yangxian County.

The people from Xixiang County had left. This scene was learned by Chen Tianming, who specially arranged to ambush near the city gate. The scout was so excited that he moved out of his hiding place. After avoiding the eyeliners on the wall not far away, he moved quickly

He stood up from the ground and quickly ran towards the mountain not far away.

Waiting until night, the snow covering the ground reflects white light, allowing travelers walking in the dark to vaguely see the road under their feet.

From the mountains not far to the west of Xixiang County, more than a thousand men with sharp blades and fierce looks suddenly emerged from the mountains. They moved very fast, had a clear division of labor, and aimed directly at Xixiang County.

The few old and weak people who were guarding the city saw this scene accidentally, and their livers and gallbladders suddenly burst into tears. Uncontrollable fear instantly surged through their bodies, and they shouted at the top of their lungs: "The thieves are coming to steal the city."

Yes, the thieves have come to steal the city."

A stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the shouts and shouts on the city wall woke up the only remaining residents near the city wall. The people didn't know what was going on, so they blew out the lights that were originally on.

The movement on the top of the city was also spread to the city. After a group of soldiers patrolling at night heard about it, everyone changed their expressions. Some of them reacted calmly and immediately shouted: "Go and inform Master Qianhu quickly." However,

More soldiers stood there, staring blankly in the direction of the city wall, at a loss.

However, no matter what they did, it was already too late now. There were a total of 400 people in the city. More than 100 people were assigned to guard the warehouses, and dozens of people were patrolling everywhere. The number of people who could really stand on the city wall was no more than 150.

.These 150 people were divided into four walls, with an average number of only thirty or forty people on each wall. What's more, Chen Tianming also specially selected a city in the west city where the defense was more lax.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand soldiers led by Chen Tianming rushed to the city wall. Several soldiers took out the ropes they had prepared, wrapped them twice in their hands, then threw them onto the city wall, pulled them down, and

The female wall has been hooked.

Most of these soldiers were recruited locally by the Tian family in Ziyang County. Ziyang County is full of high mountains and dangerous roads, so the people in the county have more or less the ability to climb rocks and walls. After making sure that the ropes are firmly fixed, they can

He circled around his body and climbed up along the rope.

This is because the number of people who bully the city defenders is too small, otherwise this dangerous plan would never be possible.

Seeing that the thieves below the city were about to climb up, the panicked soldiers on top of the city suddenly remembered to cut off the ropes climbing up from the city. However, as soon as the soldiers on the city wall showed up, the archers who were already ready came immediately.

An arrow flew away, killing the defender who was about to cut off the rope. After two attempts in a row, no one dared to take the lead again.

Soon, several deft soldiers climbed up the city wall along the ropes. They immediately killed the remaining old and weak men guarding the city wall on the spot, clearing an open space for the following soldiers.

After thirty or forty soldiers climbed up the city wall, the remaining defenders could no longer hold on. They threw away their weapons and fled towards the city. Not long after, accompanied by a creaking sound, Xicheng, Xixiang County

The door was slowly opened and the entire Xixiang County changed hands.

After Chen Tianming led his army into Xixiang City, the hundreds of remnants of the remaining troops in the city saw that the situation was over, and they all knelt down and surrendered with their weapons remaining.

Chen Tianming sent people to take these people into custody first, and then took them to check the food in the warehouse in person. To be honest, Chen Tianming set out from Jinzhou and then replenished some luggage in Hanyin. Then each person carried seven days of food, and then

They rushed towards Xixiang non-stop, and by now the food they carried had been exhausted. If they could not capture Xixiang in the past two days, they would probably starve.

Fortunately, Xixiang, as the place where Wang Wanjin started, had not been abused by Wang Wanjin. When Chen Tianming rushed to the warehouse, there were more than 20,000 stones of grain in the warehouse. This discovery directly made Chen Tianming smile, and he immediately ordered a fire to make rice.

At this moment, the military's morale was high. Few civilians could have enough to eat these days, even if they were soldiers. Chen Tianming's unintentional move directly doubled his reputation among the Tian family's surrendered troops.

While eating, someone came to report that the prisoners previously obtained were escorted outside Xixiang City. Mr. Chen was asked to give instructions on how to deal with them.

When Chen Tianming heard this, he didn't care to continue eating. He put down his food, got up and came to the city wall of Xixiang.

There are more than 7,000 prisoners in this group, which is more than the Tian family surrendered troops in his hands now. If these prisoners are used well, it will make a qualitative leap in his power. If they are not used well, it will be the source of disaster.

source.

Standing at the top of the city, Chen Tianming looked at the group of prisoners. Han Yuan beside him suddenly said: "General, why not add these prisoners to the armies? This can quickly restore the combat effectiveness of the armies."

After Chen Tianming heard this, he turned to look at Han Yuan, and his eyes turned to Tian Ji, Yang Yunti and others. Seeing that the latter were all looking at him expectantly, he became wary.

These people are all from the Tian family, and they are extremely close to each other. If they absorb these prisoners, they will have no idea what they want to do in the future, and then they will still be able to serve as the general soldier.

What does bird mean?

"No, these people are not familiar with you. If they get together rashly, I'm afraid it will greatly reduce our combat effectiveness. We should form them into a separate team first and wait to see the situation later."

Chen Tianming politely rejected Han Yuan's proposal.

Ignoring Han Yuan, whose face suddenly turned ugly, Chen Tianming had already thought of a solution. He walked down the city, came to the group of prisoners, and shouted to them: "Who among you is an officer?"

The prisoners didn't know what was going on, and the officers who were hiding among them didn't dare to come out at will.

"I will give you a stick of incense and you can identify the officers around you. Anyone who identifies an officer will be exempted from prisoner status and promoted to captain."

Generally speaking, the officers among the prisoners are often the source of trouble and the root of instability by virtue of their own influence. Selecting the officers can also minimize the possibility of prisoner riots. In the process, it can also play a role in

Divide the left and right of the captives.

Sure enough, when a thin prisoner stood up and identified an officer, Chen Tianming promoted him to captain on the spot and was in charge of more than fifty prisoners. After being given a bowl of broth on the spot, the enthusiasm of the remaining prisoners was ignited and they rushed to identify him.
