The unscrupulousness of Zhao Xun and Xiaoguo Army finally made Qingzhou react. Although it was delayed for a few days due to the Chinese New Year, the Qingzhou Prefecture Army acted quickly under the order of the Qingzhou Governor.
At the Pingyuan Prefecture and the border of Tai'an Prefecture, nearly 10,000 prefecture troops gathered to defend the cities. At the same time, there were eight thousand prefecture troops heading straight to Donglai Prefecture, and Dayou and Xiaoguo Army fought in Donglai Prefecture.
momentum.
While reporting the information here back to Luoyang, the governor of Qingzhou Cao Bin personally led the army to ask Zhao Xun clearly. I have no objection to attacking the Qingzhou naval army, but if you attack Donglai Prefecture privately, it is a transcendence, and it is a great rebellion.
.
In the past few days after the army besieged the city, except for Changguang County, the rest of Donglai Prefecture was captured by the Xiaoguo Army. Except for most, they took the initiative or indirectly, threw the city to the defeated army of the Qingzhou navy, and then this
The defeated Qingzhou naval army was "successful" by the Xiaoguo army again.
Of course, there are also some cities that cannot be defended and do not open the city gate. In this case, the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army who have been taught by Changguang County did not say much and directly attacked the city. There were not many soldiers at all, and they also added that they did not say much.
The people in the city were the inner supporters, and these cities were soon taken down. As for the residences of these officials, they were naturally cleansed by the "defeated army of Qingzhou naval troops."
Even if the city is opened and surrendered, the city's prefectures must be disarmed, stay in the military camp, and wait for the despair.
Zhao Xun naturally knew about Qingzhou's actions, but he didn't take them seriously. He took down Donglai Prefecture for the sake of Qingzhou naval army. From then on, the Qingzhou naval army was still stationed in Laizhou Port, firmly guarding the sea business roads, regardless of
It is extremely convenient to protect your caravan, collect past commercial taxes, or go to Yizhou and Shira Peninsula to attack. If you give it up, it will be to expand the scope of the Yangzhou Navy in the south, which is not good for you.
.
Over the past few days, the various units of the Xiaoguo Army ruled in various counties while providing disaster relief. At the same time, they also reorganized thousands of original prefecture troops.
Outside Changguang County, the eight thousand soldiers gathered in the east gate, and Zhao Xun did not care about the other three gates at all. In the past few days, he has not done anything except to send letters to the city to persuade him to surrender.
But the defenders and county magistrates of Changguang County were frowning.
"Wei Dong, have our catapults and crossbow arrows been shipped?"
"I returned to the lord and arrived. The county lords and lords of the Donglai Prefecture, the military lieutenants, and the prominent families and noble families in each city all sent representatives according to the lord's request." Wei Dong said respectfully.
"Let each department adapt first, and in three days, this city will be destroyed." Zhao Xun said lightly.
Attacking this city is a warning to those prominent families. The current Xiaoguo Army is already a hero and cannot always rely on bloody means to clean up, so let them see the methods of the Xiaoguo Army. If they do not obey,
This is their end.
Originally, the plan was made, because there was an accident in this city, and the landlords in each city started to make small moves again. Especially after learning that Cao Bin's army was dispatched, Xiaoguo army was in Yeguo, Dangli, and Luxiangsan.
The city caught more than a dozen spies who wanted to cross the line and inform Cao Bin of the news.
Although more than a dozen major landlords were captured, some people still wanted to get Xiaoguo Army out of Donglai Prefecture. For this reason, Changguang County must be conquered.
In the evening, in Changguang County, county magistrate Liang Xingrong and prefectural lieutenant Zhang Lin sat silently in Liang Xingrong's study.
The two sat across the table, and there were tea cups with shimmering smoke on the table, but neither of them was in the mood to taste it. The charcoal fire in the house could bring warmth in the house, but it could not let the two men remove the cold in their hearts.
The huge candle that emits light from the lampshade cannot dispel the haze in the hearts of the two.
"Lao Liang, how many years have we been in Changguang County?" After a while, the captain Zhang Lin said slowly.
Liang Xingrong seemed to be stunned. After being awakened by Zhang Lin's words, he sighed and said, "Six years and three months!"
"It seems that we went wrong this time, and the Xiaoguo Army is not as noble as the legendary one." Zhang Lin said with a wry smile.
Liang Xingrong picked up the teacup, and after a while, he slowly placed it on the table, and said bitterly: "It's true that we took the wrong step. We can't blame others, we just blamed us for the first time. Three thousand soldiers... Let's not talk about these for now.
The lives of soldiers, but I have ignored one thing. Donglai Prefecture is in Qingzhou, and for the Xiaoguo Army, it is an enclave. They cannot have failure, otherwise they will not be able to guard here."
"The Xiaoguo Army's territory is a solid new policy. For those landlords, big families and prominent families, they do not want to see it. And we are just causing trouble for the Xiaoguo Army." Liang Xingrong said, secretly laughing at himself.
I was still smart at the beginning and wanted to defeat the Xiaoguo Army so that the Xiaoguo Army could know that Donglai Palace was not unattended.
As a result, relying on a 1,500-strong mansion army and two thousand trained young men, the Xiaoguo army, who claimed to be the defeated Qingzhou navy, was ambushed by a little trick. But the result was different from what he expected.
The soldiers of Xiaoguo Army did not surrender, but instead fought with the defenders in the city. The defenders were forced to kill and solved the three thousand Xiaoguo Army at the gate of the city at the cost of one thousand people.
The reality made Liang Xingrong understand that the battlefield is not just about how to fight, it is just about talking about the war on paper. It is impossible to make a real decision on every change in the battlefield.
The reinforcements of the Xiaoguo Army arrived soon and surrounded Changguang County. At the beginning, they also persuaded surrender and compensated the dead Xiaoguo Army soldiers who were involved in the slaughter. Whether it was Liang Xingrong or Zhang
Lin refused. In their opinion, Xiao Guojun has lost his mind and decided to make him feel cold.
As a result, the strangers who had originally appeared around their mansion disappeared. They no longer came to persuade the surrender of the envoys outside the city, but instead gathered in large numbers. The defenders in the city knew that they were killing Xiaoguo Army, and were both shocked and angry.
They were the young and strong, who had heard that they were the remnants of Qingzhou Navy Army, so they took action enthusiastically. Although Liang Xingrong was good to the people, he was not as good as the policies of the Xiaoguo Army.
The defenders wanted to surrender, but the Xiaoguo Army ignored it. After going out of other city gates, they were driven back. If they were soldiers of the defenders, they would kill them in front of the defenders. The Xiaoguo Army was telling them,
It is useless to escape. Zhao Xun knew about this, but he didn't stop him. Li Lingfeng also knew what it meant.
"Today, Xiaoguo Army stopped shooting and persuaded surrender letters!" Zhang Lin said bitterly.
Speaking of the letter of surrender, the two couldn't help but look at each other, their faces were extremely bitter. This letter of surrender was true, and they persuaded the defenders in the city to surrender. However, every time the envoys were sent in the city, they were shot before they could approach the other camp.
Kill. The other party has no intention of sending people to contact them, or even no desire to accept them.
Now the defenders think that the two of them refused to surrender, but in fact they could not surrender at all. Although the Xiaoguo army gathered at the east gate, there were cavalry patrolling outside the other three gates, and everyone who found in and out was all the same.
Drive back, otherwise you will kill.
"It seems that they are ready to take action! They want to use this city to intimidate those big families and landlords! More importantly, they also threw the reputation of siege on our refusal to surrender." Liang Xingrong picked up the siege.
Teacup, took a sip and said in a muffled voice.
Liang Xingrong was not afraid of death, but he always wanted to be a good official and a good official for the people. One mistake made his efforts go to nothing. Not only did he lose his reputation, thousands of people would lose their lives.
Three days pass by in a flash.
early morning.
The people in the city were awakened by a sound of horns, which was the last thing they wanted to hear. More than ten days ago, they heard it once, when the defenders killed more than 3,000 soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army.
They all hoped to resolve the situation peacefully, rather than letting the Xiaoguo army break into the city. More than 3,000 Xiaoguo soldiers were killed, which also made them look like frightened birds in these days.
“Woo woo woo woo…”
"Dongdongdongdong..."
Outside the city, the endless sound of war drums and low trumpets of the Xiaoguo Army camp resounded throughout the sky. In the vast white wilderness, the Xiaoguo Army swept like a tide, and a vigorous flag was shining.
, the word "Zhao" is embroidered on it.
Zhao Xun, who was under the banner, stood in military uniform, and Li Lingfeng and other generals of the Eighth Mansion and the Chief Commander were among the following. Behind them, the iron armor gathered into a vast ocean of steel, flashing with a terrifying coldness, and a spear was straight.
The sky was thorny, and the red armor of the Xiaoguo Army was as sad as blood under the illumination of the rising sun! It formed a sharp contrast with the vast white earth.
The people who were specially invited to watch the game were far away on the right.
He glanced at the defenders on the city wall indifferently, Zhao Xun waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Send an order to attack the city!"
The messenger standing behind Zhao Xun waved the triangle flag in his hand hard. In an instant, the continuous sound of war drums suddenly turned and became more exciting, and the low trumpet sound suddenly became extremely loud. Xiaoguo, who was waiting for the battle, was waiting for the battle.
The soldiers immediately began to move.
Behind the rear, the lagging baggage team finally followed, and there were terrifying bed crossbows and catapults. In the open space hundreds of steps away from the wall, the Xiaoguo Army's baggage team began to nervously assemble the catapults.
The time for more than ten days of peace finally passed, and the battle of siege began.
"How can I fight this?" Zhang Lin murmured to himself. The soldiers beside him all looked pale.
"God, what the hell is that?"
Looking at the giant wooden pillars erected up from the back of the Xiaoguo Army, a young and young man took a breath of air conditioning, his eyes showing fear.
"Boy, that's a catapult!"
A low voice sounded in the young man's ears, and a powerful and powerful hand was put on his shoulder.
The young soldier turned his head and at some point, there was a veteran standing beside him. The veteran was tall and strong, with wrinkles covered with crisscrossing faces, just like the bark of a thousand-year-old pine tree, rough and graceful.
A terrifying scar slanted from the veteran's left forehead to the bridge of his nose, straight through his right cheek, and the wound was like a big mouth of a ghost, ferocious and scary.
This is a veteran who retired from the Xuzhou battlefield two years ago. Because he was used to the battlefield, he later joined the government army in his hometown, and was led by the government army here.
"boom!"
A total of 8,000 soldiers entered the city and stopped a little far away. Then the soldiers in front of them slapped the big shield in their hands on the ground. The other soldiers also slammed the spears on the ground, and the sky and the earth suddenly exploded.
There was a loud noise like a landslide and cracks. Huge stone-drawing carts followed slowly, following the army.
"Old Zhang, you can't fight, raise the white flag! Let's see how the Xiaoguo Army dealt with. Do you have to use a strong attack to break through this city?" Liang Xingrong said nervously. Seeing that he became the high-spirited Xiaoguo Army, Liang Xingrong was completely unsure.
.
Zhang Lin stared at the central army commander flag that became the Xiaoguo Army and said in a lost voice: "The Lord of Xiaoguo Army, Zhao Xun, the Great Governor of Youzhou! He is actually here!"
"Who? You said that Zhao Xun was the one who led the army?" Liang Xingrong also exclaimed.
"That's right, it should be him. Although we have nothing to do with the war between Xiaoguo Army here, Qingzhou is very cautious about the Xiaoguo Army. I also know about the organization of the Xiaoguo Army. Among the so-called Eighth Prefecture Army, the so-called Eighth Prefecture Army
, Without a general surnamed Zhao, let alone such a young general. The armor and war horses under his crotch were definitely objects of Zhao Xun. What's more, there is no other thing that can be worn with the orthodox flaming Qilin cloak except Zhao Xun.
The two of them thought," Zhang Lin said slowly.
"Lord! A white flag is erected on the city!"
Zhao Xun didn't say much, took out the silver dragon bow beside him and pulled the bow and arrow.
"call out……"
A black black light crossed the sky with a harsh buzzing sound and entered the city wall.
"Puff..." "Buzz..."
The white flag fluttered in the wind and fell into the city, and a long arrow as thick as a black thumb swayed back and forth on the flagpole.
Refuse to surrender!
The defenders on the city wall and those watching the battle not far away were all looking at each other.
"Kill kill..."
The Xiaoguo Army suddenly heard a shocking cry.
"The Xiaoguo Army wants to break through this city and refuse to accept surrender. Is it to avenge the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army who died in battle?" Someone among the crowd of people watching the battle said in confusion.
"Xiaoguojun's move is telling us that if it is stubborn, the next target will be us." One person said coldly.
Everyone was stunned! The hearts were beating. The Xiaoguo Army, which had always been kind and righteous, now refused to surrender to the enemy, was to break into the city. If he had to go against the Xiaoguo Army, he could resist the wolf-like tiger-like situation.
