There are four counties in Hongze County, Jiuhuai County and Heping County close to Wei Cundong, and Liuzi County and Changshou County close to Wang Hongyi.

Fifty miles outside the county seat of Liuzi County.

At this time, although winter has gone to spring, the night is still cold.

A moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight was not visible, only the dim afterglow was sprinkled down.

Wei Cundong used troops, of course, he was old, and after capturing Jiuhuai County, which was blocking the road, he sent a vanguard to bypass Hongze City and attack Liuzi County, so that Wang Hongyi could not directly send troops to help.

In other words, Wei Cundong hopes that Wang Hongyi will come, but he doesn't want him to attack suddenly and defeat these six sub-counties, Wang Hongyi's actions are very clear, it is impossible to highlight the surprise soldiers, and cooperate with Hongze City inside and outside.

It's just that although Liuzi County is only a county seat, the construction is still quite effective, similar to Taisu County, and Wang Hongyi is different, Du Zhen is a combination of military and government, and these Liuzi counties are all commanded by Yang Qi, which is to regard these Liuzi counties as their own base, how can they be easily handed over.

Even if he was taken away by the lord Du Gongzhen, there were only a thousand people in the county, but he still summoned the young people in the county and resisted desperately.

In the past, the 6,000-strong army did not conquer it, and anxiety gradually spread in the barracks under the city.

In the main barracks, Jiang Gong, the pioneer officer to whom Wei Cundong belonged, was in an irritable mood and was constantly walking around the barracks.

His advisor had just gone out, and the smell of blood in the air made it impossible for Jiang Gong to sleep at all.

At this time, the tent door was opened, and the strategist Huang Heyu walked in.

"How is the placement of the wounded soldiers?" Jiang Gong asked in a deep voice.

Huang Heyu said: "It has been properly settled, but there are too many dead and wounded today, and if it continues like this, it will not be conducive to the war......

Before he finished his words, Jiang Gong was already angry, and said: "Ben Jiang knew the consequences, but the bones in front of him were too hard, and it was really difficult to bite. What do you think Ben should have done?"

Huang Heyu heard this and fell silent.

The commander of the capital made Yang Qixian is prepared, the city is full of rolling wood, hard stone, hot oil, bows and crossbows, all available, the following call for formation, they ignore it, you attack the city, they fight back.

Although there are casualties in Liuzi County, compared to themselves, defending the city naturally has an advantage.

"I just got the news, the marshal heard that the three are attacking Liuzi County, and he has led his troops to rush here, and he can arrive here tomorrow, if it really doesn't work, he has to wait for the army to arrive, and then think about action. Huang Heyu was silent for a moment before proposing.

Jiang Gong was unwilling, gritted his teeth and said: "When the marshal arrived, I, Jiang Gong, had not captured this city, so I didn't want to have a place in front of the marshal in the future." No, this city must be captured before the Ming Dynasty. Huang Heyu, you go and call all the scouts in the army, let them out, carefully find me a place to attack this city, if you can find it, I will reward Jiang Gong hehe!"

"Yes, General. Huang Heyu had no choice but to go out.

Came outside, summoned all the scouts in the army, and Huang Heyu conveyed Jiang Gong's intentions.

For a while, these scouts were helpless.

"The general's temper, you must know it, if you don't win this battle, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you to go back. Go and find out if there's any other way to take the city. After Huang Heyu finished speaking, he waved them down.

Seeing a scout, who remained in place after the other scouts left, Huang Heyu couldn't help frowning and scolding: "Why don't you listen to the order?"

"My lord, I have a way to enter the city!"

"Oh? Huang Heyu listened and asked with a hint of interest.

"Your Excellency. "This scout looks very short and ordinary, about twenty years old, because of his agile stature and his work as a businessman, he was selected to join the scout team.

He took a step forward and said in a low voice: "Lord Huang, the younger one has in-laws, and he has lived in the city in front of him for a long time, and he knows that there is a secret passage in this city that can connect the inside and outside of the city......"

"Is there such a thing?" Hearing this, Huang Heyu was overjoyed, but after thinking about it, he doubted again: "In that case, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The scout's voice turned to a novel: "This little relative is doing reselling goods, this secret passage is his way to transport goods, the place is narrow, the secret passage is even more complicated and difficult to walk, plus I haven't been in touch for many years, I'm afraid things will change, so ......"

"Okay, if you can tell me about it, it's a great achievement, and when I go to report to the general, after the matter is completed, you will be rich and prosperous. After speaking, Huang Heyu asked about the location of the secret passage.

The scout described it, and said that the entrance to the secret passage was hidden and difficult to find, and that he needed to lead him personally to find the location.

Hearing this, Huang Heyu had to repay Jiang Gong first.

"You said there is a secret passage that can lead into the city from outside the city?" Jiang Gong was surprised when he learned of this, and then he was overjoyed: "If you can send people from the Tao into the city, open the city gate, and capture this city, you can wait for it." It's just that I hated this guy, and I didn't know it until this time. ”

Thinking of these hurried fires, Jiang Gong's eyes couldn't help but flash with resentment: "It's really killable!"

Huang Heyu said persuasively: "General, at this time, you must focus on the overall situation, and if you kill this person, I am afraid that it will delay the big event." ”

"Hmph, he is very calculating, in order to be promoted, he didn't say this until this time, hmph, he will kill this guy after the matter is completed!" Thinking that Ming said that it was the arrival of the handsome, Jiang Gong said with a sneer.

This night, in the middle of the night, the surrounding area gradually became foggy, and the fog rose, and there was no human figure three meters away.

Jiang Gong was overjoyed and sent people to carry out a night attack, the vanguard was this scout and a team of elite soldiers, and they agreed to take the fire as a letter, Jiang Gong sent them out, and they were ready to enter the city.

Time passed minute by minute, Jiang Gong waited patiently at the beginning, but later showed irritability, and his mood was extremely bad.

"General, this situation is not right, is it an ambush?" Strategist Huang Heyu said with a frown at this time.

Jiang Gong was furious and rebuked: "If it was an ambush, why didn't you say it before, and you will not retreat when you come to disturb our army's heart at this time!"

Seeing Jiang Gong like this, Huang Heyu had no choice but to sigh and retreat.

Half an hour later, the light of the fire finally appeared at the head of the city.

Although there was a slight mist around it, there was still a flash of fire.

"They succeeded, enter the city!" Seeing this, Jiang Gong was overjoyed, waved his hand, and ordered the army to advance.

He was unwilling to give up this opportunity for meritorious service, and no longer hesitated, he led 500 people to rush and kill first.

When he came to the city, he saw that the gate of the city was wide open, and immediately rushed into it under the leadership of the general.

But Jiang Gong led his troops into the city, but immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"It's too quiet, it's not right!"

Even if it was the first team to solve the defenders of the city gate, but at this time, the big movement into the city, always encountered resistance, and then looked at the front, but suddenly found that there was a wall in front of it, it seemed to be a temporary construction, no more than three meters high, but it had already sandwiched these five hundred people in the middle, the same as a pie.

"It's not good, it's an ambush! Quickly get out!" No matter what, Jiang Gong is always a general, and immediately woke up, drank and said, hurriedly turned his horse, and prepared to turn the horse's head and withdraw from the city.

At this time, the city gate behind him closed suddenly, and the surrounding walls stood up with murderous sounds, and the ambush soldiers each held bows and crossbows, aiming.

"Not good!" Faced with this situation, Jiang Gong immediately knew that something was wrong, but at this moment, he suddenly saw that this scout who was sent out was sneering at him in the crowd of the other party.

"Shoot!" Almost at the same time, Liuzi County commanded Yang Qimeng's order!

I only heard the sound of "poof" bursting, and hundreds of arrows fired in a fierce salvo.

"Rat ......" Jiang Gong only had time to roar angrily, and he was shot into a hedgehog by random arrows and fell from his horse and died.

"Kill, kill all of them and leave no one behind!" In fact, according to the number of people, there are 500 people who have fallen in, which is not much different from the remaining 700 people in the county, but one is prepared and designed a trap, and the other is a trap, which is completely different.

I saw a volley of hundreds of arrows, and hundreds of people fell in the dense open space of the city gate.

The other soldiers rushed to the wall, but could not climb up for a moment.

On the city wall, arrows rained down, and these 500 people had no power to resist at all, and they continued to die.

After all the 500 soldiers were shot, the scout came to Jiang Gong's corpse and said with a sneer: "General, with your surname, after the matter is really done, you will reward me again?" ”

This person's original plan was to surrender to the Hongze Army to lure the enemy generals, but it was a pity that Jiang Gong was eager to make meritorious contributions, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he was ambushed and died here.

Outside the city, Huang Heyu had already sensed that something was wrong, but at the beginning he reported that he was lucky, until Jiang Gong's body was hung high in front of the city gate, and in the mist, Huang Heyu finally sighed and led the remaining Chengdu army back to the camp.

Wei Cundong led his troops to arrive here in the morning, and what he saw was the defeat of this remnant army.

"Idiot! He was so easily ambushed by the other party, what did he think?" After hearing what happened, Wei Cundong was furious.

"He's a fool, isn't it, even you are a fool? As a strategist, but he can't share the worries of the Lord, what's the use of leaving you?"

After speaking, Wei Cundong said to the left and right guards: "Pull it down, and show the public." ”

"No. Someone immediately stepped forward, dragged Huang Heyu and left.

Huang Heyu no longer begged for mercy, he knew that his life was over, but he didn't dare to escape, just because he was born in a big family in Chengdu, and his wife and children were all there.

Therefore, voluntary death.

A moment later, Huang Heyu's head was cut off and hanged, and the anger in Wei Cundong's heart eased slightly, and he immediately gave the order to attack the city overnight.

Wei Cundong and Jiang Gong were different, this time they did not bring many soldiers, only 4,000, but they gathered the original troops, there were also 8,000, and they also brought siege equipment.

These six sub-county towns were finally broken under the direct attack of one day and one night.

After the city was broken, all the people who defended the city were killed, including Yang Qi, the commander of the six sub-counties, and the unknown scout, so it is really difficult to say who this person is.
