"Now suddenly rumors are spreading in the city, the rumors are spreading, and people are still panicking!"
A general reported to Yang Cunzhong.
"Rumors are spreading?"
"What exactly are the rumors?"
Yang Cunzhong asked.
"Return to the military division!"
"They all...all said...it was said that Liu Dutong had been injured...and died of his injuries!"
"So now...now the people and soldiers are starting to pack up their things and escape from Luzhou City!"
The general responded.
"I see!"
"You can go down for now!"
Yang Cunzhong's face looked very heavy at this time.
After a while, Yang Cunzhong summoned a group of senior generals alone.
"You should know the reason why I summoned you back, right?"
Yang Cunzhong said to the generals.
"military adviser!"
"Could it be because of the military ballad?"
Commander Wan Yi immediately asked.
"Yes!"
"Sure enough, as we expected, the death of Liu Dutong has been leaked!"
"Now it must be the bandits who deliberately spread such news in the city in order to disturb our military morale!"
"So as I expected, when our military morale becomes chaotic, the bandit army will definitely come to attack our Luzhou City!"
Yang Cunzhong continued.
"Then...how should we deal with it?"
Wan Yi asked again.
"Of course we will proceed as planned!"
"After all, we have to abide by Liu Dutong's orders!"
Yang Cunzhong ordered.
"Then let's go according to the original plan!"
"But I hope that I, Wan Yi, can stay in Luzhou City!"
Wan Yi asked for his life.
"No... Wan Zongzhi, you can't stay in the city. You can't be the one who stays!"
"Because we still need you to achieve great things!"
Yang Cunzhong disagreed.
"Then let me, Shi Bin, stay!"
"I am willing to stay in Luzhou City!"
At this time, another general stood up next to him.
"But…!"
"No need but!"
"I, Shi Bin, am willing to sacrifice my life for the future of the Song Dynasty, and even die in this battle in Luzhou City."
Shi Bin interrupted Yang Cunzhong.
In a blink of an eye, it was early morning the next day.
"Report to Li Temperance!"
"The Song Army in Luzhou City just gave us a letter of challenge!"
A general handed a letter of challenge to Li Mingzhong.
"Song Jun actually took the initiative to declare a challenge to us?"
"Could it be that the Song Army couldn't control the public opinion in the city and wanted to divert the conflict and take the initiative to challenge us for a fight?"
After Li Mingzhong read the letter of challenge, he couldn't help but say.
"Logically, the person who asks for a fight should be their military advisor Yang Cunzhong, but why do they want a mere commander of the capital, Shi Bin, to ask us for a fight?"
"So I think it's definitely not that simple. Maybe that old fox Yang Cunzhong is trying to trick us!"
At this time, Zhu Xi was analyzing next to him.
"If that old fox Yang Cunzhong really comes up with a good way to plot against us, can he let his subordinates come and declare a challenge to us?"
"I think it really wants to hit the stone with warmth!"
"Just let me go and meet this Song general Wan Yi who doesn't know whether to live or die."
Pu San Zhongyi also said.
"No!"
"Prince Liang, please don't be too impulsive!"
"You must not touch them!"
Zhu Xi immediately dissuaded him.
"Do I need you to remind me how to fight?"
"Mr. Zhu, just wait for my good news in the camp!"
Pu San Zhongyi did not listen to Zhu Xi, and went directly to count his troops and began to fight."
"Mr. Zhu!"
"Why didn't you stop Prince Liang just now?"
Not long after Pusan Zhongyi left, Li Mingzhong asked.
"The King of Liang is my boss, how can I stop it?"
"On the contrary, it was Li Jie who controlled you. Why didn't you stop King Liang just now?"
Zhu Xi asked back.
"Mr. Zhu, please stop selling out to me!"
"Do you already have a plan to capture Luzhou City?"
Li Mingzhong asked.
"It seems that Zhu and I can't escape Li Jie's eyes!"
"I do already have a perfect strategy to defeat the enemy!"
"Besides, I expected King Liang to lead his troops into battle!"
Zhu Xi responded.
"That's it!"
"Then what are your next steps?"
Li Mingzhong asked.
"The next step, of course, is how to capture the Luzhou City ahead!"
Zhu Xi said.
"Mr. Zhu, are you really so confident?"
Li Mingzhong still couldn't believe it.
"certainly!"
"Is there any joke in the army?"
"As long as Li Jiezhi listens to my advice, he will definitely be able to capture Luzhou City quickly this time!"
Zhu Xi responded.
So Zhu Xi and Li Mingzhong began to write a long discussion.
At the foot of Luzhou City, the Song army had already prepared its formation to welcome the upcoming war.
Immediately afterwards, a huge cauldron army came to the opposite side of the Song army.
"You guys are here!"
"It seems that in today's battle, either you will die or we will die!"
Shi Bin shouted towards the cauldron army.
"Yeah?"
"Do you, the Song Army, really have such great determination to fight us?"
Immediately afterwards, the voice of loyal and loyal people came.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"bring it on!"
Shi Bin continued to shout loudly.
"Hits!"
"Today, I will let you, this boy, have a taste of my power!"
"Come down and prepare to fight!"
Following Pu San Zhongyi's order, the soldiers began to cheer up, pick up their weapons and get ready for battle.
"good!"
"Everyone, rush with me!"
"rush…!"
"Kill the bandit army with me!"
As Shi Bin said this, he took the lead and led the army to rush towards the loyal and loyal army of Pusan.
Pu San Zhongyi also immediately ordered his people to take a defensive stance.
When the two armies met, a war was about to break out.
At the same time, in the other direction where the two armies were fighting, another army with the banner of the "Big Cauldron Army" suddenly appeared, and the leader of this army was Zhu Xi.
"Remember, when we attack the city later, we must not be reluctant to fight. You will listen to what I say, do you understand?"
Zhu Xi ordered.
"Forward, let me explore the path first!"
After everything was ready, Zhu Xi first ordered the forwards to start the attack.
After a while, the densely packed forward troops of the Big Cauldron Army rushed to the gate of the Song Army.
Afterwards, a lot of arrows rained down from the city tower, and some forwards began to be injured one after another.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Xi was about to order the forwards to retreat temporarily when he suddenly discovered that the rain of arrows dropped by the Song army did not seem to be dense, and there seemed to be a shortage of personnel.
So Zhu Xi immediately ordered the follow-up troops to continue supporting the siege.
Unexpectedly, with the arrival of the second wave of supporting troops, the city gate was already knocked open by the forward troops.
Then Zhu Xi immediately ordered his soldiers to work together and occupy the city gate tower.
When Zhu Xi personally came to the city gate tower to check, he discovered that the number of Song troops guarding the city gate was less than a hundred, and there were actually many dressed straw men on the tower to fill up the number.
Looking at the city again, I realized that this huge Luzhou City seemed to be empty.
Could it be that the main force of the Song Army had already evacuated Luzhou City with the people?
Even if we spread rumors in Luzhou City, the main force of the Song Army will not withdraw without a fight?
What is the reason?
But why did Song Jun let Shi Bin come out to challenge us?
Could it be that although the Song army wanted to keep Shi Bin behind, it would buy them time to retreat?
