Chapter 762: The Truth

At this time, Yingshang County has fallen back into panic, for the people of Yingshang County, the last two months have been really a bit difficult, after the war, it is finally settled down, and I am not happy for a few days, the rebels are here again. Compared with the rebel soldiers and horses, the people of Yingshang County seem to prefer the Dingguo Army, and since the Dingguo Army stabilized Jiangnan, the people of Yingshang County have not benefited less. In fact, the common people do not ask for much, what they want is nothing more than a peaceful life of abundance, they have no interest in who is in power, as long as they are well fed and clothed and do not suffer from hardship. For them, the rebels are a group of saboteurs, they hold the high-sounding banner of the prince, but what they do is the work of bandits, dare to ask, the prince army kills and fights along the way, what is the difference between what they did and Fang La? The people didn't want the rebels to come, so when Hua Rong defeated Yingzhou, Yingshang County closed the city gate, the whole city was under martial law, and some young people in the city automatically organized themselves and climbed up to the head of the city to help hundreds of soldiers defend the city.

In Chishui Lake, forty miles west of Jiangning Mansion, a woman with red makeup sat on a smooth stone face, carefully wiping the red tassel gun in her hand, and there was a little worry and hope in her beautiful eyes. For Liang Hongyu, it is very exciting to be able to lead an army to resist the rebels, but there is always a worry in her heart. Although she has been exposed to it since she was a child and has studied the art of war, after all, it is the first time she leads the army, and if she can't resist Hua Rong, she can't afford the consequences. Now that the rebels of Huarong's department have besieged Yingshang County, it is a little unlikely to re-enter Yingshang County, and the plan for now is to find a way to drag the rebels before Huarong attacks Yingshang County. What would they do if Grandpa or Daddy were there?

Looking at Yingshang County in the distance, the white clouds are long. The sky is washing. Mountains in the distance are undulating. Like a broad backbone. How, exactly? Soon, Liang Hongyu's delicate jade face showed a bit of perseverance, Hua Rong's lone army went deep, the most important thing was the grain and grass, he couldn't hold on for too long, if a fire burned the grain and grass brought by the rebels, the rebels would inevitably panic at that time, and then the troops would attack Hua Rong's army. Do the rebels still have the energy to deal with Yingshang County? Of course, if this is done, the four thousand soldiers and horses of Jiangning Mansion will also fall into the siege of the rebels, and the losses will be heavy, and even her Liang Hongyu will die, but this will at least guarantee that you will win some time, and the cavalry of the Dingguo Army cruising near Zhoukou will definitely come, and His Royal Highness the regent will not let Yingshang County ignore it. It's enough to just win time. It was too difficult for young Liang Hongyu to make such a decision, because many men could not make such a fearless sacrifice. Liang Hongyu is a woman, with the softness of a Jiangnan woman, and the strength of the Liang family's father and son.

Hua Rong stared at Yingshang County, his brows furrowed, he didn't expect that the small Yingshang County could cause such trouble to the army. I thought that if Yingzhou was taken, Yingshang County, which lacked soldiers, would automatically open the city gates, but I didn't expect the people in the city to consciously guard the city. In this life, I have fought officers and soldiers, bandits, and bandits, but I have never faced the people. Why are these ordinary people willing to sacrifice their lives to defend Yingshang County, is Zhao Yougong so good?

Hua Rong was not in a hurry to attack the city, the army marched all the way and conquered Yingzhou, even the people who fought iron also needed to rest. At the beginning of the last days, Hua Rong gathered his troops and began to launch a fierce attack on your Yingshang County, in Hua Rong's opinion, maybe it only takes one attack to take down this small city. But in fact, Hua Rong was wrong, the people in the city were united, they used the method of the previous beam strategy, hot water toppings and rolling wood to help, and even directly repelled the rebels' first charge. I can't help Hua Rong not have a headache, in the final analysis, it is because there is too much lack of siege equipment, because to hide the purpose, I didn't bring any siege equipment, and the only cloud ladder was captured in Yingzhou, but if you want to fight Yingshang County, only the cloud ladder is absolutely not good.

After the rebels retreated, thunderous laughter erupted in the head of Yingshang County, in the end, it was a group of ordinary people, for them, it was really rare to be able to repel a wave of attacks. Hua Rong's expression was cold, he waved his embroidered robe, and said in a low voice, "Gather all the things that you brought to the fire, and wait for the wind to rise, and the fire will burn Yingshang County." ”

Can a fire burn down Yingshang County? Of course not, but Hua Rong doesn't want these, there are mostly people in the city, they can withstand victory, but they can't withstand defeat, when the time comes, as long as there is a fire, these untrained people will immediately become a pot of porridge, and if you want to attack the city at that time, isn't it easy? Fire attacks can only be at night, the night is windy, and the night is dark and the wind is high, and people's hearts are more likely to panic. Hua Rong gave an order, and the rebels were in full swing to prepare, and at this time, the soldiers and civilians at the head of the city did not know what situation they were going to face, the rebels did not attack the city, they felt strange, and they could not understand the rebels' intentions.

There are two towns in the north of Yingshang County, one is Menglei Town, the other is Xiangyou Town, the two towns are one in the east and one in the west, not far apart. As soon as the end of the day passed, Sesame Oil Town was a busy scene, and the rebels continued to transport things to Monley Town, and all of these fell into Liang Hongyu's eyes. Maybe this is the will of heaven, Hua Rong meditated hard and came up with the idea of fire attack, and Liang Hongyu also wanted to burn the rebels' grain and grass, what was missing was the things that caused the fire, and it was just the rebels who stored the things that caused the fire in Xiangyou Town for convenience. This is really a coincidence, Hua Rong never dreamed that the thing he prepared to ignite the fire would become an accomplice to destroy him.

A few hours passed quickly, and when night came, the rebels were in full swing, and Liang Hongyu also quietly infiltrated the town of Xiangyou. This time it was a surprise attack on Xiangyou Town, targeting the rebels' grain and grass, so Liang Hongyu didn't dare to bring too many people, only more than 100 troops, and the rest were all hidden in the mountains to the west. After the time, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, this is the weather in the south, the wind is strong at night, and it is close to autumn, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, it is simply the best time to set fires. Hua Rong held a clairvoyant mirror, staring at the movement in the city, the city was full of torches, there were constantly patrolling soldiers walking by, there was not much fire in the city, and it was obvious that most of the people had slept peacefully. After all, it's not a regular army, the enemy is outside the city, and he is still going home to rest, do you want to wait until the siege time to temporarily go to the city? Feeling that the time was almost up, he beckoned, "Command the rear, send all the things that ignite the fire to the city." Just wait for chaos in the city. Siege the city now. ”

Hua Rong is waiting. But what disturbed him was that a quarter of an hour had passed, and there was still no panic in the city, what was going on? Definitely, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came, and the adjutant general who gave the order ran back in panic, "General Hua, it's not good, it's not good, the thieves are attacking Xiangyou Town." Our army's food and grass have been burned, and all the things that started the fire are gone! ”

What the? Hua Rong, who has always been calm, also felt dizzy at this time, where did the soldiers and horses come from? Now there is no Dingguo Army near Yingshang County, so that's it, who came up with such a plan to sneak attack Sesame Town? After thinking about it, Hua Rong could be sure that there were no good generals in the Dingguo Army to stay in Yingshang County. Hua Rong frowned, waved his fist, and said, "Pass my order." The whole army immediately attacked the city, even if there were more casualties. It is also necessary to take Yingshang County. ”

Hua Rong was extremely decisive, he didn't return to the aid of Xiangyou Town, let alone pay attention to the grain and grass, the most important thing to do now is to defeat Yingshang County, the thieves attacked Yingshang County, it is impossible to end like this, and there is not much time left for him. At the beginning of the day, the drums of war were tired, and the small Yingshang County trembled again, and countless rebels were like eating leopard gall and were not afraid of death carrying the ladder to attack the city. The sound of killing is raging, there is a roar of death everywhere, the people are the people, in the face of this merciless killing, they are chaotic, they collapse, some people want to go home and guard their families, some people want to fight hard.

The rebels stormed Yingshang County, and the city may change hands in the blink of an eye, Liang Hongyu was also anxious in his heart, and the sesame oil town was on fire, and the thousands of soldiers and horses hidden in the mountains were finally killed. Liang Hongyu completely gave up Yingshang County, she wanted to destroy Hua Rong, as long as Hua Rong died, the rebels would be a group of local chickens and dogs. A group of soldiers and horses came from the west, but Hua Rong was not afraid, and he only had a thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, but so what, as long as he held on until the army captured Yingshang County, he won. Hmph, no matter who the other party is, how many soldiers and horses there are, he Huarong can stop it. A thousand rebels blocked the road, the night was like water, the moonlight was sprinkled, and a coquettish voice came, and a fiery woman in front of the battle, "Hua Rong, I am Liang Hongyu, and I am specially ordered by the regent to take the life of the dog, and I don't want to take my life quickly!" ”

Hua Rong was slightly stunned, and then sneered, he really pinched him Hua Rong as mud, and actually sent a little woman to come, "Tell Hua Mou, but you led the troops to burn Sesame Oil Town?" ”

"It's the old lady, what's the matter, are you distressed?" Liang Hongyu raised the red tassel gun a little proudly, but saw that Hua Rong was not happy or angry, his wrist flipped over, the longbow was pulled up, and with a buzz, a wisp of cold light hit, Liang Hongyu's face turned pale, and she quickly lay back, even so, the arrow still shaved her cheeks painfully, and a strand of hair slowly fell down. Hey, it's so fast and accurate, it is said that Xiao Li Guang's archery method is fascinating, comparable to Shi Wengong, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation.

In the face of a woman, she will kill her when she comes up, which is quite a bit of a villain, but how to distinguish between a good person and a bad person? At least, Hua Rong can't think about it so much now, only victory is the most important thing.

A thousand rebels, it seems that there are not many people, but after the fight, Liang Hongyu felt how much pressure there was. This rebel army is completely different from Ma Tian's soldiers and horses, they advance and retreat in a certain way, the order is forbidden, and they are also brave and fearless, in just a quarter of an hour, the four thousand Jiangning Mansion soldiers and horses were beaten by a thousand rebels to half an inch, and the number of dead and wounded is increasing, and Hua Rong is even more spicy, not fighting with Liang Hongyu at all, just staring at those Jiangning Mansion generals to kill. If there are no generals, morale is weak, and sometimes those low-ranking officers are more important than the commanders of the army.

Liang Hongyu was angry and anxious, at first she could stabilize her mind and command all the departments, but she was soon angered by Hua Rong's rogue play, just staring at Hua Rong's fighting, and gradually lost herself a little. Hua Rong sneered in her heart, thinking that she was another strange woman like Xiao Zhiyun and Hu Sanniang, she was still too young to dare to love, and she couldn't hold her breath so quickly. Yingshang County is becoming more and more dangerous, the West City Gate has been breached, and the rebels have swarmed in, after getting the news, Hua Rong was also relieved, although there were heavy casualties, but at least Yingshang County was taken, so it was enough.

Liang Hongyu shook the reins of her horse, wanting to catch up with Hua Rong, when a shout on the battlefield woke her up, "Yingshang County is broken, Yingshang County is broken"

With a buzz, Liang Hongyu came to her senses, and it was only then that she realized how much of a mistake she had made. Glancing at Hua Rong hatefully, she reprimanded in a coquettish voice, "All the men and horses retreat south and take Fengxian Town as quickly as possible." ”

Fengxian Town is a small town in the south of Yingshang County, this town can be said to be helpless and unsafe, but here is the only way for Yingshang County to the south. Guarding Fengxian Town is tantamount to killing yourself, but is there any other way? The remaining more than 2,000 Jiangning Mansion soldiers and horses were withdrawn, but Hua Rong was not happy at all, he could feel that the reinforcements of the Dingguo Army were about to arrive, otherwise why would this little lady named Liang Hongyu desperately block it. Huh, it seems that there is no time to rest, Hua Rong hit the horse into Yingshang County, and only an hour later, thousands of rebels left Yingshang County and killed Fengxian Town.

At three o'clock, Fengxian Town was in the midst of a war, Liang Hongyu took the lead and charged ahead, and the remaining soldiers and horses of Jiangning Mansion seemed to have made up their minds to die. The battle was extremely fierce, but in the end, the rebels were many generals.

Liang Hongyu fell crookedly under a plane tree, looking at the moonlight above her head, her spirit was a little trance, could it be that the rebels were about to fish into the sea?

Knock knock, the drum sounded, a soldier and horse fell from the sky, black chain mail wrapped in a red scarf, beautiful eyes and cherry lips, horses like flowing clouds, "Hua Rong, do you still recognize Sanniang?" ”

Hua Rong clenched his spear, his eyes full of horror. Hu Sanniang, it's really timely! I don't know how Hu Sanniang got here, but can this battle be avoided? Hua Rong's mood is very complicated, he can understand what Hu Sanniang did, but he is loyal and righteous, and he can't recognize Hu Sanniang. He didn't agree with the slaughter of Hujiazhuang back then, but that was what Li Kui did, who had the way?

"Sanniang, I didn't expect you to really come!"

"Hua Rong, do you think it's worth it for you to do this? Song Jiang deserves your loyalty? ”

"At least, Hua someone doesn't want to be an unfaithful and unrighteous person!" Hua Rong looked at Sanniang, as if to say that Sanniang was not a loyal person.

Loyalty? Sanniang giggled, but the laughter seemed extremely desolate in this moonlit night, and it was the life-urging song of the ghost of the underworld, "Your loyalty, is it really loyalty?" In my opinion, you are an idiot, not even a pig or a dog. (To be continued......)
