Chapter 196: Son-in-law (II

Although he crossed the river, he marched to a certain extent, and it was not a swarm of 100,000 troops who rushed forward.

Wang Hongyi rushed to Jiangling again, although it was not necessary to "cover the ground with yellow sand and clear water" in the early order, but there was still a welcome ceremony, and then slowly entered the city.

After Zheng Pingyuan's operation and temporary construction, the behavior of the palace is still very good.

It's just that spring comes, and the vines sprout with antique color.

The inner palace, the front hall, the left and right garrisons, the official office, the internal guards are straight, and the defense of all the armies is arranged.

The afternoon sun is shining, Wang Hongyi walks, although the traces of the brush are still there, but a mountain and a stone, a flower and a tree, all have fun, in the distance is a small lake, full of flowers and trees, the side yard corridor, a little farther away, is a few fine houses, there are thousands of bamboos around the shade.

Wang Hongyi smiled and thought, "Not bad!"

In the previous life, this could only be seen in the garden, and when I walked in, I saw that the entrance was a zigzag corridor, and under the steps was a stone-paved road, with three houses inside, one bright and two dark, but no one lived there.

Looking at these, Wang Hongyi has a unique flavor, only to see that in the scenery and houses, a large area of rich red gas, lingering like clouds, in the red air, there is a faint golden gas.

This is the auspiciousness that comes with the car.

There are several kinds of red qi, one is the main military qi.

The second is the auspiciousness of the emperor, every time the emperor is born or where he is, there is basically a red qi appearing.

But in Wang Hongyi's view, this red qi only means the rise of luck, like a young man full of vitality, and the appearance of golden yellow is relatively mature.

He has a great life, and accompanying "red gas is like a tide, golden like a cloud, and purple gas lingering" is a good luck, but looking at the residence, most of them are still red, which shows that the area he rules may have a peaceful order, and there is no peace and contentment.

After thinking about it, I was too arrogant, and the atmosphere of the world was golden, which was only after the domination of the world, and only after the population multiplied and the industry prospered.

In the Shang, Xia and Zhou eras, although the reign of the Holy Son of Heaven could only be black and red, it was due to the lack of population and livelihood.

After the Qin, Han, Jin and Sui dynasties, until the Sui and Tang dynasties, the world's qi was golden yellow, which is why the Son of Heaven only wore golden yellow in the future.

Even if this era is equivalent to the Song Dynasty of the earth, the population and livelihood are sufficient, and it is necessary to unify the country by oneself in order to "shine and yellow all over the world" is to golden yellow is auspicious, the Lord is prosperous, and it is easy for individuals and families to achieve it, and it is necessary to show it in the world.

Wang Hongyi smiled slightly and looked into the distance.

In the distance, the crimson military spirit rose to the sky, across the river, and in the distance, it represented the pillar of luck of Zheng Pingyuan, which had declined.

It's as simple as having a way to cut down a way.

The buildings extending from the wall outside the city of Wuling County, as well as the fields, have all become white ground, and there is a moat, which introduces water around the city, and it is clean within 500 meters.

Peng Yu and Zhang Chu, the lieutenants in charge of patrolling this area, took a hundred soldiers and walked towards the interior of the county without hurrying.

The soldiers were a little tired and listless from the night's patrol.

"Cheer up!" Peng Yu had a hot temper, and when he saw this, he immediately became angry and shouted loudly: "Look at what you have all become, ah?

If this situation was encountered in the past, Zhang Chu, who was also a school captain, would definitely come forward and be a good person to persuade Peng Yu.

But in the past few days, Zhang Chu has also looked restless, riding on a horse, and he also looks preoccupied at this time.

Glancing at him, seeing this appearance, Peng Yu became more and more breathless.

Along the way, the horsewhip in his hand whipped several people in a row. The soldiers were whipped and screamed.

"Brother Peng, let's dissipate your anger!" Seeing this, Zhang Chu still slowly urged him to step forward and persuade him.

"After patrolling all night, it's understandable that the soldiers are tired, you better save some energy!" Zhang Chu reminded in a bad mood: "Lord County Guard is not in a good mood these days, be careful to go back, you provoke him ...... trouble"

"Lord County Guard has indeed had an evil fire in the past few days, and he has already reprimanded and cut a few people. Peng Yu stupidly withdrew the horsewhip and walked side by side with Zhang Chu, with a depressed face.

Zhang Chu knew something inside, and said with a sigh: "Brother Peng, you don't know it, now that the Northern Chu army is pressing the border, the surrounding counties have been broken, and the troops will come to the city in a blink of an eye, isn't Taishou anxious?"

Peng Yu snorted and was about to speak, when suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance and reached the ears of the two.

What's going on? At this time, which team will pass by?

Peng Yu and Zhang Chu's faces immediately showed a trace of doubt and vigilance.

"Go to the front, go to the front and find out!" Peng Yu groaned, and ordered a cavalryman to go down to investigate the situation.

Just a moment, this horse returned, and reported: "It's not good, it's the enemy's ranger!" In an instant, Peng Yu and Zhang Chu's faces changed greatly, and they immediately ordered: "Withdraw, withdraw to the city."

At this time, it was not far from the city gate, and he immediately retreated.

However, the Northern Chu army seemed to be bold, even if it was a dozen rangers, they dared to rush straight over, but in an instant, they had already arrived in front of Peng Yu and Zhang Chu!

And just as the order to retreat was given, the soldiers all wanted to desperately return to the city, and when they were rushed by this, they suddenly shouted killing and screaming, one after another!

"Quick, retreat!" Peng Yu shouted, and wanted to take people into the city.

"Where to go!" Before Peng Yu could escape back, the captain of the rangers behind him had already seen it, shouted, rode his horse and galloped forward, and the long knife in his hand slashed down at him.

Peng Yu hurriedly turned around and used his weapon to block, but he didn't want the other party to change his moves halfway and swept over.

In a hurry, Peng Yu's mind was unstable, where could he see the truth and the false, and when the blade had arrived, he reacted violently, and his eyes immediately stared...... , with the blood splattering, a human head rolled to the ground.

Turning over, the city had already reacted, and a large number of archers stepped forward, setting up arrows to shoot, and these rangers shouted and retreated. After retreating for half an hour, the horn sounded, and it stretched endlessly, and I saw a red patch appear outside the city, and the tide was approaching, and the sword armor was cold.

The brigade rode to the foot of Wuling City.

At this time, no matter how dull he was, the military capital of the county came.

Looking at the city, there was a sea of red, not only the flags, but the paper armor was painted red.

Zhong Yang, the guard, and Lin Chengliang, the guard, all stared down, and swept it at a glance, only to see that the city was densely packed with red drought soldiers, connected from end to end, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance.

One of the huge flags attracts attention.

"Hey, five of them, there's 17,000. ”

The establishment of Northern Chu is already known, and the five guards and one capital, plus the logistics unit, are all reasonable. people, five are almost 17,000.

The generals looked from afar, looking down, and all of them were as earth-colored as earth.

The total strength of the five counties of Southern Chu is only 50,000, plus 20,000 water divisions, which has reached the limit.

And these 50,000 people were all not long after they became an army, and many of them were surrendered.

The most terrifying thing is that most of them were transferred to Changsha County in Zheng Pingyuan, and now there are only 6,000 in the county, how can this fight against this 17,000 army?

"My lord, I heard the news, the ships in Yuekou County are still transporting, and a large number of Chu troops are still concentrating, not only the sixty-seven in front of you, but also the thirty-thousand, fifty-thousand!"

Hearing the news, Taishou Zhongyang scolded in a low voice: "Nonsense. But the judgment and intelligence of the situation told him that all this was true.

"My lord, this matter is true, please make up your mind as soon as possible!"

"Yes, my lord, those who came, according to the banner, are all generals, according to the rules of the Chu army, those who do not surrender will be washed, let them attack the city, I am afraid that the lives will be ruined!" Although some people persuaded him, Taishou Zhong Yang smiled bitterly, and his eyes swept over the generals not far away.

Wuling had already been obtained by Zheng Pingyuan, and the generals were all his people, although he was too guarded and could influence officials, but he could not affect the army.

It is impossible to surrender the army until it is consumed.

"Lord County Guard, I have already sent a letter to the lord, it won't be long before reinforcements will arrive, please Lord County Guard must be firm in his mind and defend this city!" At this time, the general Lin Chengliang came over with a jingle armor and said, sweeping the official with a sharp gaze.

"Of course, even if we can't fight, it won't be a problem to hold on for a while!" Taishou Zhongyang said calmly, as if he hadn't hesitated at all.

And the surrounding officials were also serious, bowing and saying: "!" Du Gongzhen, Lu Zhongcheng, Xue Gang, Zhang Xiang, and Li Cai are all generals, and now Wang Hongyi is in full swing, and these people's minds have changed, and they all hope to make meritorious contributions.

When they came to the city, the drawbridge was hung high, the city gate was closed, and the soldiers in the city were holding bows and crossbows, with a tense posture.

"Heh, it's really like the same thing......" Under the banner, Du Gongzhen looked up at the city tower in the distance with disdain and let out a sneer.

"General Du, do you want to attack the city immediately?" someone asked, although all five were commanders, but Du Gongzhen was the temporary commander-in-chief.

Du Gongzhen said lightly: "Send someone to call the battle first, if you insist on not surrendering, then attack the city." ”

“。 After a while, there were people with enough strength and loud voices to take turns to shout and shout under the city to persuade them to surrender.

No matter how he scolded, the city did not pay any attention to it.

Du Gongzhen was not annoyed, and when he saw that the other party did not go out of the city to face the battle, he said to the surroundings: "This time we came quickly, and we didn't invite the thunderbolt to come, but there are still other catapults, let them attack the city first." ”

"Yes, General!" the troops had been waiting for this order for a long time, and when they heard the order, they immediately began to push the trebuchet upwards and reached a distance of fifty meters.

"Release!" only listened to an order, and more than a dozen stones "boomed" and smashed on.
