(Thanks to lksos for the monthly pass, thank you.) Great summoning, monthly pass coming! ）

Li Jing's reply made the representatives of Duli Town embarrassed for a while, five million yuan is not the main problem, although there is a lot of money, but if you cut the price, it is estimated that it will be two or three million yuan at the end, although each of the more than 100 big families took out twenty or thirty thousand yuan, although it was a little heartache, it was not a bone break. The most difficult thing for them to accept was to hand over Wang Pu and Feng Changgui, as well as Wang and Feng.

The last time they agreed to hand over the Feng clan, it was because the Feng clan was ruined, and after Feng Yanqing and Feng Zhang died one after another, the Bohai Feng clan was almost dilapidated, and handing over the Feng clan was at most a ruin. But the Wang family is different, Wang Pu is not only the current city lord, not to mention the Taiyuan Wang family in Hedong, which is one of the top wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty, the Taiyuan Wang family with five surnames and seven high gates, and the Qinghe Cui family, Boling Cui family, Xingyang Zheng family, Zhaojun Li family, Longxi Li family, Fanyang Lu family and called the five surnames and seven high gates. Although it is said that the five surnames and seven high-ranking families reached the late Tang Dynasty, some families declined and were replaced by some other wealthy families, such as the Lanling Xiao family, the Guanzhong Pei family, etc. But in any case, the status of the Wang family is also the top group in Li Town, not only a member of the thirty-six families, but also the leader.

Besides, although these representatives who have long been reduced to merchants do not know how to fight, they also know that Wang Pu is now the only person who can fight in Duli Town, so how can the pillars and beams not be handed over.

The original commander of the Combined Fleet, Pei You, was a powerful figure in Duli Town in the past, but since the collapse of the Combined Fleet, his status has plummeted. But last time, he followed 3,000 cavalry to aid Beisha City, but he was defeated and captured. Although he relied on the prisoner exchange to pick up a life and returned to the town of Duli. But the position in the town of Turi is even more awkward. The town of Duli and the town of Shamen were defeated twice. He has a share, which can't help but make people feel that this is the reincarnation of a disaster.

Seeing that everyone was arguing, Pei You tried his best to speak up: "Last time, the city lord used a trick to bribe the people around Li Lingfu, making them turn against each other, and gave Li Lingfu the most powerful blow. I think we can do the same with Li Jing this time. ”

Many deputies glanced at Pei You, and they all felt that what he said was the same as not saying it. So who is Li Jing? He came this time either from the Shamen Town Army or the Qingnipu Army, and the remaining 5,000 soldiers were also mercenaries from Beisha City, who had already defected once.

"I'm not talking about buying those soldiers. Rather, there is another plan. My plan was for me to write a letter to Li Jing, saying that because of the two defeats, everyone in the town of Duli despised and was ridiculed. made his heart bitter and hateful, feeling the grace of being released after Li Jing was captured last time, and now he wants to take refuge in him. Now he is willing to respond to the coalition forces and help them open the city gates. Pei You smiled and said: "If Li Jing dares to come, we will have already set up an ambush, even if Li Jing is talented, how can he escape?" ”

Someone objected: "That's how Li Lingfu died." Then Li Jing is not a fool, how can he believe it? Pei San. Don't get involved, just your bad luck, it's okay not to mix, and things will not end well if you mix them. ”

Pei You's complexion changed, first red and then black and then blue, he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Don't try how to know the result, if you have a better strategy, you can say one." If you can't, don't just look at it. After speaking, he turned to Wang Pu and said, "In order to show sincerity and convince Li Jing, I am willing to send a pair of daughters to Li Jing as hostages." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but be shocked. In addition to a pair of twin daughters, Pei You originally had a pair of twin sons. His two pairs of twin sons and daughters, I don't know how many people Lu Dao envied in the past. However, when the sons grew up to join the Combined Fleet and became captains, they once led a victorious return from a sea to suppress bandits, but they were caught in a storm, the ship was sunk, and both brothers were sunk to the bottom of the sea. This result made Pei You's wife extremely painful, and she died of illness soon after. Pei You has not continued since then, and there is only a pair of twenty-eight-year-old daughters by his side, who are usually pampered. reached the age of twenty-eight marriage, but he has always refused to agree to the matchmakers of all parties. Right now, he actually wants to send this pair of daughters to Li Jing's camp as hostages, and this Pei You is really unclear.

Wang Pu persuaded: "Why should Brother Pei be like this! ”

"There is no need to persuade again, if this battle is successful, Li Jing will not dare to insult my daughters at that time, and will return them completely. If Duli Town is defeated, there will be eggs under the nest. What's more, didn't the city lord also give the little lady to Li Jing, since the city lord can sacrifice like this, what am I. Pei You strengthened his determination.

After the last time, Wang Pu no longer persuaded him, and arranged for several family slaves and maids of Pei You to secretly send a pair of Ruhua Jade sisters to Li Jing's camp on two horses, along with Pei You's letter of return.

After Li Jing read it, he handed the letter to Li Liang. After reading it, Li Liang immediately said: "This is an obvious plan to surrender, then Pei You is the next book, and even a pair of daughters are willing to be sent to the army, I really think that if I can't give up the child, I can't trap the wolf." ”

Li Jing also felt that this thing was too unreliable, he had seen that Pei You, and he was not a repeated. How can such a person be in a hurry to submit a book and be willing to do internal response. If Pei You is really willing to surrender, he can just bring his daughter directly. How could it be possible to take such a big risk and do internal response.

"Then forget it, don't bother with him."

"Actually, it's not entirely like that, if you really want to do it, there are actually some opportunities." Li Liang twisted his beard and smiled.

Li Juyi, who was sitting down there, hurriedly asked, "What is Staff Officer Li's opinion?" He was now full of revenge, but after arriving in the city of Duli for most of the day, Li Jing was not in a hurry to attack the city, but ordered to start camping, and seemed to plan to stay here for a long time, which made him very anxious.

Li Liang glanced at Li Juyi and said with a smile: "Since the enemy is a plan, we might as well plan it." Tonight, you can choose to send an army, wearing more armor and pretending to enter the city. Didn't Pei You say that he would answer in Dongcheng, then there must be ambushes in Dongcheng. We can divide the soldiers and horses into four routes, and leave them outside the eastern city to prepare for them. The other three roads were two virtual and one real, attacking the west, south, and north gates respectively. Among them, the southeast two gates feints, and the north gate really fights. Previously, the Flying Eagle Battalion reported that the North Gate was destroyed by the Flying Fire buried in the town of Duli during the last battle, and it has not been completely repaired in a short period of time. That's an opportunity. As long as you can storm the city. The town of Duli will be broken. ”

It's not a good deal. But there are also merits. But the hardest part was not the North Gate, but the one who attacked the West Gate. This is a task to go to Tiger Mountain knowing that there are tigers in the mountains. The other party must have set up an ambush at the West Gate, and this will lead the troops to go, but it is very likely that there will be no return.

Li Juren said loudly: "I am willing to lead the death battalion into the east gate to attract the attention of the soldiers in the capital." ”

"No, big brother, you are the head of the house. I'm going to go. The second Li Juyi also stood up immediately.

"Let me go! Anyway, I am not as good as the eldest brother in literature, and I am not as good as the second brother in martial arts. Usually he has a bad temper and is not liked by everyone. Just let me go, even if I die in battle, it doesn't matter. ”

Li Jing couldn't help but be a little moved when he saw this scene, and said to Li Liang: "Strategist, can you just pick some dead soldiers to go?" ”

Li Liang shook his head: "No, there must be no fewer people going to the east gate, and there must be a general to command, otherwise the other party will know that the situation is not right at a glance." There is a lot of movement at the east gate. The North Gate may have a chance. If not, just forget it. It's all about sending you to death. A narrow escape. And even if you go, the chance of taking the north gate is only five or five. ”

Li Juren looked resolute and said loudly: "I am the boss, you all listen to me." ”

"You are the head of the family, the entire Li family and Qingni City still have to be carried by you, if you die like this, is it right to be a father? Don't fight with me any more, just let me go. I took 600 infantry and 3,000 young men from Qingni City. Big brother and second brother, you just take the crane army and the rest of the soldiers and horses outside the city to prepare to respond. As soon as I attract enough of their attention, I will lead my troops out of the encirclement. ”

The others also wanted to persuade a few generals of Qingni City to go on their behalf, Li Juli rolled his eyes and shouted: "At this time, as the brother of the lord of Qingni City, I don't go in person, and which brother is willing to go to the death?" ”

At the third watch in the middle of the night, the night was dark and full of dark clouds.

The only sound of night owls could be heard from the east gate, and then a few torches dangled on the top of the city, and then the drawbridge was slowly lowered, and the gate creaked open.

Li Juli looked at the gradually opening city gate, knowing that it was a gate of hell where countless people were waiting in ambush behind the gate, but he could only move forward. On that day, they fell into an ambush in the city, encountered the defection of their allies, and were besieged and killed, he looked for his father everywhere, but he went in and out several times, but he could not find anyone else, and later encountered the convergence of the crane army to break out of the city. After leaving the city, he learned that his father had been ambushed, and he deliberately sent a thousand crane control troops to find their brothers and let them lead them to break through. But he finally died in the city. This made Li Juli a little uneasy, and today he knew that he was coming, and he couldn't wait to take revenge. Even if it is his own death, as long as he can exchange it for the destruction of the city of Duli Town, it is definitely worth it.

Li Juli was wearing a double layer of iron armor, and he also wore an inner armor inside, and even the war horse was also wearing the vest given by Li Jing. Seeing the opening of the city, he took the lead without hesitation, yelled and killed, regarded death as home, and rushed forward to the prancing horse, straight into the city.

Behind him were a full 3,000 young men, but at this time, these young men were all wearing the iron armor and iron helmets worn by the Shamen Town Army, holding shields, and the whole person was like a turtle. These people all knew that they were going to be a death squad, but no one regretted hesitating, because the young general was on it in person, and the young city lord also promised that everyone would go to the bottom of the road, regardless of life or death, and each person would be rewarded with a hundred dollars, which was enough to make them worry-free.

Originally, there were still 400 crane control troops who were going to enter, but Li Jing was really reluctant to let this fierce cavalry army disappear like this. After persuasion, Li Juli left the 400 crane control army to his two brothers.

The three thousand soldiers and horses scattered very widely, waving more flags in the dark, shouting loudly, as if thousands of troops and horses. Although they shouted to death, they could not run quickly, and deliberately slowed down, only near the city gates, and did not rush in.

Sure enough, as soon as the 3,000 men and horses rushed in, the east gate was blown up by the flying fire with a bang.

Li Juren and Li Juyi, who were in the back, looked at the flames and roared angrily: "Go up and move a road!" ”

The three thousand soldiers and horses in the city did not panic much when they saw that the back road had retreated, and the back road was cut off, but it inspired them to fight to the death. Although these are all young and strong, the people of Liaodong are strong, most of them are tall and strong, and they have learned to use fists and feet, and they can open bows and arrows. At this time, they all gathered and approached into a small battle. They had the iron armor given by Li Jing, a layer of battle robes and criticisms on the outside, a leather shield around their necks, and spears in their hands. Fighting desperately, facing the Duli town soldiers from all sides, back to back, shoulder to shoulder, fighting to the death.

At this time, the other three-way soldiers and horses also began to attack the city on three sides, one real and two false. Li Jing personally led 8,000 Shamen town troops and 5,000 Tibetan troops with a total of 13,000 people to storm the north gate. The soldiers of the Flying Eagle Battalion Special Operations Capital took advantage of the darkness to cross the ditch and approach the city. Both scouts and one scout followed. The rest of the Fan army fired arrows in front of the front city wall and slammed the city gate, and the soldiers of the Green Wolf Battalion and the Iron Spear Battalion began to carry simple spliced pontoon bridges and constantly erect them on the ditch. Later, under the cover of shield soldiers, more soldiers carried the ladder straight to the city.

With the archers below suppressing, there were not many soldiers in the north city, and it seemed that they couldn't raise their heads at this time.

After half an hour, the North Gate Suspension Bridge finally fell, and the city gate was also opened under the hard work of the Special Operations Capital.

Li Jing couldn't help but be excited at this time, he didn't expect that the original idea of giving it a try would be successful.

"God help me to take the town of Duli! Kill! With a loud shout, Li Jing rode on the Wild Horse King, and with a wave of his lance, the commander of Shamen Town suddenly drove straight in. However, the 5,000 soldiers were still one step ahead, they did not wait for Li Jing's order, and when they saw the city gate open, they all howled and rushed straight into the city.

Grab money, grab food, grab women!

Even the head has to be robbed, at this time, it doesn't matter if the head is a soldier or a civilian, anyway, one is worth the same money. was preempted by the 5,000 soldiers, and the 8,000 Shamen soldiers were blocked behind, and it was difficult to enter the city for a while.

After the 5,000 soldiers rushed into the city, Li Jing was able to lead the army to follow into the city. Five thousand soldiers entered the city, but they could no longer see their figures, and these soldiers were almost lost for the first time when they entered this prosperous port city. The wide streets, the tall houses, and the long street shops are like a labyrinth.

Gao Rong rode on his horse, couldn't help but be excited, and shouted loudly: "Children, grab it!" Gold, silver, jewelry, money, silk women, what you want, grab it, grab as much as you can! ”

After a shout, the five thousand soldiers crossed the border like a swarm of locusts, and immediately began to scatter and rob, completely ignoring the fact that Duli Town had not been taken at this time. (To be continued......)
