"Eh, why are you up?"

Niu Erbing walked into the room with a few bags of gifts and saw Gui Tingyu, who was wrapped in bandages, sit up.

"Ah, Lord Niu, where is this?" Gui Tingyu passed out after being hit by an arrow yesterday, and he didn't wake up until now.

"This is the outer courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, and your injuries are quite serious, so I arranged to come here for treatment. I'm really sorry yesterday, I had to pretend to shoot you in that case, I was worried that Li Hao would not be serious, in case you have a good one, how can I have the face to your family. Niu Erbing came up and apologized.

This was originally discussed, and Master Li's archery was superb, just avoiding the villain's vital point. Look, isn't the villain able to get up, how long has it been? By the way, what about the enemy army?

Most of what Gui Tingyu said to Gongsun Mi was true, but he and Lin Xin did not persuade Niu Erbing to defect to the imperial court, but took the initiative to propose a plan to lead the local army to Guihe City to die.

Things have to start with the 111th Division's acceptance of the defense of Guihe City.

Han Rujian led a few henchmen to inspect the important places in the city, and as soon as he finished checking the cell, he heard a cry in a nearby alley not far away.

She immediately went to check and found that there were rebels harming the family, Lin Xin and Gui Tingyu were knocked to the ground, and there were women in the room calling for help.

The rebels were deserters from the city defense army, because they didn't escape out of the city, they actually did evil in the city, and Han Rujian naturally took action to deal with the rebels and saved Lin Xin's family and Gui Tingyu.

Lin Xin and Gui Tingyu belonged to the people of the government, and they were afraid that the officers and soldiers who entered the city would not be able to hide, and the rebels did not dare to make a noise when they broke into their homes.

Their wives thus became acquainted with Han Rujian and became good friends, and later saw that Han Rujian was depressed, and when they inquired, they knew that it was because the 111th Division had no relationship with the war, and they learned about it and offered a plan.

The original idea of luring the enemy was put forward by Gui Tingyu, and he was confident that he would go to Yangbao City to trick the local army into coming to Guihe City, but he didn't expect to meet Gongsun Mi.

As the saying goes, if he encounters other generals, he may not be able to deceive the local army, but when he meets Gongsun Mi, it is only because the commander of the army is greedy for merit that he will have a later matter.

Han Rujian supported the plan to lure the enemy, anyway, the executor was Gui Tingyu, and she was confident enough to defeat the local army, so there was a scene of feasting Niu Erbing. Niu Erbing dreamed of making meritorious contributions, and of course he would not object to the enemy taking the initiative to send them to the door.

"We won a complete victory, killed and wounded thousands of enemy soldiers, Gongsun Mi ran away, this time the Gongsun family sent a knight to rescue him, count his fate! I just came from General Han, I have seen the military newspaper she wrote with my own eyes, you are the first merit!" Niu Erbing came to apologize, give gifts and good news.

It was he who ordered Gui Tingyu to be shot, so he felt very guilty.

"Li Hao is outside, he is embarrassed to come in to see you, and ask me to confess to you. ”

The villain is also grateful to Master Li for saving his life, if he doesn't shoot me an arrow, the enemy will shoot too, how can the villain not know how to blame Master Li? No, the villain has to explain to Lord Li. Gui Tingyu wanted to get out of bed.

Li Hao heard it well outside, and immediately pushed the door in, and said, "Gui Yishi, don't worry, I know you don't blame me, you lie down first." ”

Niu Erbing stretched out his hand and pressed Gui Tingyu: "You are so reasonable, you will be my brother in the future, don't be a villain, you call me Brother Niu, I call you Brother Gui." ”

"That little, how embarrassing is the little brother!" Gui Tingyu's heart blossomed.

He gave advice to Han Rujian, just to mix up an official and a half-position, if there is someone in the army as a brother, it is a good thing for his career.

Guihecheng changed the dynasty, and the original magistrates all fell, and he and his brother-in-law Lin Xin were the only old officials, as long as they performed well, they could at least get a higher position than before.

Gui Tingyu is a member of the Gui family, a local family, but he is just a son of a side lineage, and there is no one behind him, so he fought hard to get back the job of catching fast.

When he was an idler, he helped catch the head and catch the thief, and he gave up his life to block the thief's sword, and was pierced in the chest, but he also dragged the thief, and finally the head catcher successfully captured the thief, and in order to repay the favor, he was promoted to be a catcher.

This is enough to see that Gui Tingyu is quite ambitious, unwilling to spend his life in obscurity for a lifetime, and dares to give up his life for his own future. Later, when Ding Kui heard about him, he specially ordered someone to take care of him and give him a stage to show his strengths, which is a later story.

Ding Kui was not wrong, Zhong Wei was attacking Zhenyuan City.

Staying in Zhenyuan City was Li Jingxian, the original forward commander, the remnants of the 3rd and 4th Divisions plus the 5th Division, with more than 20,000 soldiers defending the city.

Li Jingxian's defensive skills were stronger than the offensive, and he fought fiercely with Zhong Wei's main force for a morning, suffering less than 1,000 casualties.

Considering that there might be a sixth-level combat power master in the city, Zhong Wei ordered to concentrate his troops to attack the east city gate, but the 20,000 soldiers and horses could not go up together, so they could only take turns to attack the city, so that the defenders could calmly deploy their defenses.

"Ahh

"Silence!" Ding Kui floated to the handsome platform and stood behind the handsome flag.

"Sit down, don't make a fuss. He pointed at Kong Ren.

Kong Ren stiffly turned his head back to the front and asked in a low voice, "Why is Lord Ding here?

"It's hard to say, I think it's not a small possibility, the commander of this rescue of Shibu County is Gongsun Mi, before Brother Xie killed Shiji in Taihe City, Gongsun's family didn't want to have an accident with their own family, and it was reasonable to send people over to protect and demonstrate. Ding Kui drove all night.

What he was most worried about was Kong Ren, and the descendants of the Kong family could not die in his army.

"How did you find this place? The subordinates decided to attack Zhenyuan Castle last night. Zhong Wei was surprised by this.

"Hehe, he saw us all through, fortunately it was not our enemy, otherwise this battle would not have been fought. Kong Ren thought about it.

"Lei Feixiang has gone to intercept the grain road, you can simply come to clear the granary, so that you can draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle! But don't forget, Shibu County still has a place that belongs to Nanjing City, Duping County to the west, and Weiguo County to the west.

Even if you occupy this place, the 1st Army of the Southland can go west, Gongsun Mi will not worry about the lack of food for the army, and the war in Shibu County will not end so soon. Ding Kui's voice was not loud, and it could only reach the ears of Kong Ren and Zhong Wei.

The soldiers in front were besieging the city, unaware that the Supreme Commander was on the battlefield.

"The subordinates thought that occupying this city would at least block the road for follow-up reinforcements, and if the enemy army went west, they would report to the military command department and ask for assistance. Zhong Weihe expressed his thoughts.

"Hahaha, yes, the way out has been figured out, with your forces against two counties is indeed almost enough. If you fight like this, I'm afraid that the enemy's reinforcements will arrive before you defeat the city. Ding Kui observed that the army in the city was not chaotic and morale was not reduced, and his subordinates were not very efficient in attacking the city.

Kong Ren replied: "You are here, we can divide our forces to attack the south and the north gate." I was worried that there were masters in the city, and the division of troops would be easy to be attacked, but now I don't have to worry. ”

"No, you have come lightly, you have no heavy equipment, the defenders have sufficient troops, armaments, food and grass, and the battle in the morning has strengthened their confidence, and they will not be able to take this city today.

Most of the special operations regiments have already succeeded, and your task of containing the enemy has been completed, so it is better to move quickly and attack the enemy's weak points. "Ding Kui has the meaning of giving up the siege.

"Aren't you here, can this city stop your attack?" Kong Ren didn't want to give up just like that.

"There may be masters in the city, but I may not be able to win if I make a move, and even if the masters don't exist, I can't make a move easily.

It is indeed a good move for the Gongsun family to send people to challenge Gu Shuai, threatening the 20th Army and threatening me, I can't always protect all the troops.

Yesterday, when I came from Guihe City, I saw that Gongsun Mi had fallen into a cold plan to lure the enemy, and now Yangbao City should be empty of troops and low morale, which is just right for you to attack overnight. Ding Kui didn't mean to make a move.

Unlike in the past, his territory is getting bigger and bigger, and his subordinates are increasing, and he is vulnerable to enemy retaliation. Today he shot down Zhenyuan City, and tomorrow there may be masters who will build his city, and the gains outweigh the losses.

"Gongsun Mi is in Yangbao City?" Zhong Wei and Kong Ren asked at the same time.

They knew about luring the enemy like a blade, but they didn't know how to lure Gongsun Mi.

"Yes. ”

"Okay, my subordinates listen to orders. Come on, give the order to collect the troops. ”

Although Ding Kui said it in a suggestive tone, Zhong Wei still regarded it as an order.

The siege troops withdrew from their attacking positions in an orderly manner and quietly assembled on both sides of the platform.

Ding Kui kept staring at the city tower: Is there a master in the city? How much strength does the Gongsun family plan to invest in Nannuma Prefecture?

It is a pity that after the main force of the Red Army and the 195th Division left the boundary of Zhenyuan City, his question was still not answered.

......

Dou Xiaoqi led his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, and every board car turned over.

"Hurry up!" Lei Feixiang shouted in the distance, "It's all food and ordnance, what's there to see? ”

Dou Xiaoqi ordered in disappointment: "Pour oil on the fire oil and prepare to light the fire." ”

The special operations regiment suddenly launched an attack when the local army's grain transport team was eating at noon, and crushed a division that was guarding the grain like a decay, driving away the strong men who were pulling the carts, leaving only the mountains of convoys.

"Won't we take a little bit?" Dou Xiaoqi complained to Lei Feixiang.

Lei Feixiang said angrily: "Where are you taking it? Aren't the ones wrapped around your waist enough to eat? Our whereabouts have been exposed, and we must immediately withdraw to the rear." ”

"It's good to distribute it to the people nearby, it's a waste to burn it like this. Dou Xiao rode with a torch that was lit and refused to throw it out.

"Do you think the people can keep these materials? As soon as we turn around, the enemy army will come to snatch them back, although we are fighting with our own people, they represent the magnates of Nanjing City, and will not be polite to the people. "Lei Feixiang really wants to wake up Dou Xiao with a shield.

"Okay, burn!" Dou Xiao threw out the torch with a ruthless heart, and a group of people also threw the torch in his hand.

The convoy, which was hundreds of meters long, was instantly plunged into a sea of fire.
