Time passed to the afternoon, speaking of Hongze City, Du Ran looked at it for a long time in amazement, a face that was originally quite heroic, because of the battle, there was no time to trim it, it was already stubble, and there were a few blood stains on his cheeks.

Not only Du Ran, but also the generals of Hongze Town, all of them have reached the limit, they have been nervously defending the city for twenty days, no one dares to have the slightest carelessness, and they are already tired after even speaking, if they delay for another day, this Hongze City will really not be able to hold it.

At this moment, Wang Hongyi's reinforcements arrived, and Wei Cundong was broken, the momentum was like a bamboo, the 30,000 army collapsed, and the 20,000 army chased after him, this scene made everyone in the city stunned.

Looking at the situation downstairs, at this time, Wei Cundong's 5,000 Chinese troops retreated, and the remaining 20,000 fled in embarrassment, while Wang Hongyi's 20,000 troops charged, shouting from time to time: "Those who kneel and abandon weapons will not be killed." ”

Du Ran was like a dream, and he couldn't believe it in his heart.

The facts are in front of you, the defeated Chengdu army, throwing away their armor and running in all directions, and the Wang Zhenjun wearing armor is constantly pursuing and destroying the enemy, the blood is constantly blooming and spreading on the ground, and the bloody gas is constantly diffusing in the air, this scene is really a dream, and it is too real.

"Old thief Wei's 30,000 Chengdu army was defeated like this?" In a hoarse voice, Du Ran said this sentence for a long time. The words were spoken, but no response was heard from his subordinates.

He turned his head and looked to the side, and found that the soldiers still on the left and right were all like him, looking down with a look of disbelief on their faces.

"General, this Wang Zhenjun is too powerful...... "For a long time, the nearest guard general to him stammered.

Wei Cunzhen's 30,000 regular soldiers are the strongest soldiers in Shuzhong, and they were broken with one blow like this, which is too unbelievable.

The latter words, the guard general did not say any more, and the meaning he wanted to express was very clear, the strength of this Wang Zhenjun was really beyond their expectations, and it was really terrifying to be able to break the Chengdu army in one fell swoop.

Of course, Dou Jiande is also a Qianlong in the Tang Dynasty, and he has been running an army for ten years, but he was broken by Li Shimin's 300 horses, which is actually the biggest coincidence caused by many special factors.

As long as Wei Cundong is given an hour, the result will be completely different.

Looking at the Chengdu army that fled under the city, Du Ran was silent for a moment, and then spoke again: "The battle under the city will not end for a while, you are stationed here, don't act rashly, I will go to see the marshal." ”

After speaking, he ordered the guards around him to temporarily preside over military affairs, he turned around and went down to the city, asking where Du Gong really was.

At this time, the Marshal's Mansion of Hongze City and the Du Mansion were all anxious and uneasy.

The situation outside the city, these slaves will not know, but they know that the Chengdu army besieged Hongze City, but they know that once the city is broken by the Chengdu army, the rest of the people may still have a way to live, and they have become one with the Du family, but there is only one way to die.

Seeing that Du Gongzhen's face was pale, he returned from the city, and when he arrived in the study, he lay down and didn't speak, these people were all up and down in their hearts, if the backbone of the main heart was gone, they were afraid that their fate would not be too good.

Obviously, they were worried too early, Du Gongzhen was in the bedroom, and as the housekeeper of the mansion walked in, a voice soon came: "Du Ran is asking to see outside." ”

"Let him in!" Du Gongzhen said.

"Uncle, the battle situation has changed, and the Chengdu army has been defeated by Wang Zhenjun led by Wang Hongyi!" before Du Ran came in, he heard his crackling sentence, and there was obvious panic in his tone.

Du Ran's mood at this time was very delicate, he felt relieved by the defeat of the Chengdu army, and he was jealous of Wang Zhenjun.

According to the uncle's previous plan, he hoped that the two armies of Wenyang and Chengdu would be injured in both defeats, and they could not think of taking advantage of the fishermen, and they could also maintain some capital because of this, but the current situation was really unexpected by them, which caught them off guard.

"What are you panicking about?" Du Gongzhen scolded.

Du Ran was stunned, and hurriedly stood with his head bowed and his hands down, glancing at Du Gongzhen from time to time.

Du Gongzhen was originally a middle-aged man of fifty years old, with a square face and thin eyebrows with majesty, at this time, his eyebrows were deeply locked, and he was contemplating in the room.

"This is not the place to speak, come with me to the study. Du Gongzhen said, and instructed Du Ran: "Look at you like this, it's hard work, wash it here first, change into new clothes and then talk!"

"Yes, uncle. Seeing his uncle so calm, he seemed to have a backbone, Du Ran's panic calmed down, and he hurriedly responded.

Du Gongzhen coughed violently a few times at this time.

Only then did Du Ran realize that Du Gongzhen's face was ugly, and he was uneasy, and he hurriedly said: "Uncle, your body is ......."

"No problem. Let's take care of the previous things first, this problem is just a moment of depression. Du Gongzhen waved his hand and walked in the direction of the study.

Du Ran hurriedly agreed, so he hurriedly took a bath, afraid that his uncle would wait for a long time, so he washed in a hurry, changed his clothes, and in just a moment, he had already changed and walked towards the hall.

Thinking that his uncle's steps just now were a little fluctuating, Du Ran whispered to the housekeeper beside him: "You let the stove boil some porridge soup to remove the fire, and let people send it to the study later." ”

"Yes. The housekeeper knew that the next thing that the uncle and nephew were discussing was not something he could know, so he hurriedly retreated.

The location of the study, only two courtyards away from Du Gongzhen's bedroom, after entering, I saw Du Gongzhen drinking tea, or his eyebrows were locked, and he heard his nephew coming, he said: "Sit!"

Du Ran answered the order and found a chair to sit on, the room was simply furnished, but the atmosphere was smooth, and there were more than a dozen chairs next to a long conference table.

At this time, in the room, there were only two of them, uncle and nephew.

On the long table, there is a map of Shu.

After Du Gongzhen's eyes swept over, he sighed: "I really didn't expect that I, Du Gongzhen, would fall into such a field as I am now......

"Uncle ......"

Seeing Du Ran's worried look on his face, Du Gongzhen smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "It's just emotion." Ran'er, let's talk about the current battle situation, although I have seen and heard the results, but you are a person on the verge of battle, can you talk about it more carefully - Wang Hongyi's Wang Zhenjun defeated the Chengdu army, and the casualties were not heavy?"

"Yes, uncle, nephew thought about it carefully, when Wang Hongyi raised 20,000 troops and attacked Liuzi County, it should have taken two or three days to get right!" Du Ran replied: "But it was broken in only a few hours, which is really confusing." ”

"Even so, 20,000 people rushed to Hongze City to fight with the Chengdu army in the city, according to common sense, even if one side wins, it will lose a lot, but in fact, the loss of Wang Zhenjun's army is not heavy, and the Chengdu army is defeated like a bamboo, I think the loss is at most 1,000 people, and the loss is not large. ”

These words were all Du Gongzhen himself pondered for a lot of time, and at this time, he pondered and said: "I remember that Wang Hongyi was still attacking Liuzi County half a day ago, even if Liuzi County is vulnerable, it is impossible to reach Hongze City so quickly, and it is not uncommon to be able to break through Wei Cundong in one fell swoop. ”

"Wei Cundong led the army to attack our town, it has been 20 days, the soldiers are tired, and they have only withdrawn from the city, it is not uncommon to break it in one fell swoop, the key is that this morning, Wang Hongyi's Wang Zhenjun led by Wang Hongyi, how to break through Liuzi County so quickly, arrived here, this is a big problem. ”

Although Wang Hongyi came late, Hongze City might fall into the hands of Wei Cundong, and the Du clan would fall into a catastrophe, but Wang Zhenjun's combat effectiveness and exploits still made Du Gong really very vigilant and unpleasant.

Du Ran was actually curious about this matter, and when he heard his uncle mention it, he replied: "This little nephew is meditating hard, but he doesn't understand, could it be that the guards of Liuzi County surrendered?"

At that moment someone came in to report that he had sent a messenger and had returned.

"Let it in. Du Gongzhen said: "This person has been following the left and right, and he must know the key inside." ”

After a while, the messenger had already entered the hall from outside, first saluting Du Gongzhen and then Du Ran.

"Don't be polite, why did Wang Hongyi quickly break through Liuzi County, do you know this?"

"Yes, the minister was ordered to serve as a messenger, and he watched the battle of Liuzi County throughout the whole process, and he already knew the key to Wang Zhenjun's attack on Liuzi County. ”

"Speak. Du Gongzhen said in a deep voice.

After the minister sent the envoy, he arrived all the way to Wenyang Mansion, and the beginning was very smooth, Wang Hongyi agreed to send troops, and the next day he officially sent troops, and the minister was also happy in his heart. ”

When he arrived in Changshou County, Chen Yixin persuaded General Han to open the city to greet him, but he didn't want Wang Hongyi to change his face immediately, killed General Han, annexed his subordinates, and deliberately stayed in Changshou County for two days. ”

Speaking of this, Du Gongzhen's face remained unchanged, obviously he already knew, and Du Ran said angrily: "This person is really a wolf ambition!"

Du Gongzhen waved his hand and said to the messenger, "Go on." ”

"Yes, when I arrived in Liuzi County, it was the third morning of arriving in Changshou County, and the minister was anxious, but he saw Wang Hongyi launch five strange cars, they called them Thunderbolt cars, this car needs to be called by hundreds of people, and it is very powerful, just a few batches of attacks, and the city wall of Liuzi County will be smashed out of a gap. 20,000 soldiers poured in, and in less than an hour, Liuzi County was not only broken by Wang Zhenjun, but also the affairs of the city were all accepted by Wang Zhenjun......

After that, the 20,000 troops suffered little damage, rushed here, and fought a decisive battle with Wei Zhen. The messenger reported to the two of them in great detail.

Hearing this news, not only Du Ran was stunned, but veterans like Du Gongzhen were also shocked by the powerful trebuchet mentioned.

"Several batches of attacks smashed a gap in the city wall of Liuzi County. I really can't imagine that Wang Hongyi has this sharp weapon in his hand, which is really unimaginable......" Du Gongzhen muttered.

Liuzi County was originally his subordinate county, he had watched it a few times, and he had a direct understanding of defense, since he could smash Liuzi County in several batches, even if it was Hongze Mansion, he wouldn't be able to resist much time.

Can a weapon that requires hundreds of people to be used still be called a trebuchet?

When did Wang Hongyi have this hole card in his hand?

Du Gongzhen frowned, thinking back to the several encounters between himself and Wang Hongyi, and suddenly had some unfathomable feelings.

That's what worries him the most.

Of course, now that his strength has been fully demonstrated, Wang Hongyi can see his wolf ambitions for Hongze Town from killing Han Liang.

If it was before, Du Gong would have been furious, but now he has offended Wei Cundong and Wang Hongyi?

The most important thing is that now Hongze City is ruined, and the soldiers are also tired, if they have been tense, they can resist for a few days, but now they are suddenly relieved, and it will be difficult to fight again.

Du Gong really knew that even if the knife was pressed to his neck now, these tired soldiers would not be able to get up and fight.

"Uncle, please use some porridge soup first. At this time, Du Ran said to Du Gongzhen after hearing the housekeeper's reply.

"No, at this time, how can we take care of this, let's go and watch the situation under the city. Although his body was still weak, Du Gongzhen still directly ordered to go to the city to watch.
