Chapter 193: Omen II
In March, spring blossoms.
Jingzhou is already full of light green, looking at a thriving color, which makes it easy for people to feel happy.
The young ladies and women have all changed out of heavy winter clothes, put on spring skirts, and although they are still thicker on the street, they are much more eye-catching than the bloated ones in winter. Not only has spring arrived, but even the sense of spring has gradually become stronger. It was at such a time, far away in Jiaozhou, that the war was very fierce.
Dozens of puffs of smoke rose inside and outside the city, and the city walls were broken, although the county soldiers resisted stubbornly to block the fierce and cruel enemies who poured in from the gap tide, but to no avail.
The county guard's mansion, Taishou's face was pale, looking outside, and now there are hundreds of soldiers in the mansion resisting. Even these hundreds of soldiers were also wounded and stubbornly resisted.
The army team surrounded outside, waving the banner of the Chu army, must belong to the tent of Wang Hongyi, who has called himself the king of Chu, but the people who come are obviously of different races!
What kind of Chu army is this, it is clearly a group of barbarian foreigners!
The soldiers of the county guard are still resisting, and there is a faint sound of killing in the city, and a mountain flag soldier is attacking the county guard, shouting and killing endlessly.
The county town has been breached by the enemy, and the morale has plummeted, and at this time it is retreating one after another.
At this time, the mountain tribes surrounded outside were all burly and strong, all wearing leather armor, but the weapons on their hands were also varied.
At this time, in the middle of the outside, there was a mountain tribe about forty years old, dressed in armor, with several scars on his face, and his appearance was quite ugly and vicious.
Behind him, there were more than a dozen pro-soldiers, and one of them smiled: "These Han people can't do it, they can be defeated in a while." , who came to attack the county guard, they were all the elite of the mountain banner soldiers!
Although the mountain clan has been absorbed by Wang Hongyi and become a tiger with teeth extracted, but the blood of the mountain clan flows in his bones, and his physical quality is much stronger than that of ordinary Han people.
At the same time, the county guard of Minxi County also gradually retreated towards the back door under the desperate protection of several guards around him, and he wanted to escape.
"Stop, immediately kneel down and surrender!", several archers, suddenly, appeared at the wall of the back door, and the arrows were aimed at these people.
"Don't let the arrows go......... The county guard was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "We have descended." , "Go, a few people in the past, tie them up!, recognize the official uniform, this is the Han people's troops, their battalion is brightening their eyes, and then commanding the soldiers on the left and right.
Immediately a soldier came up with a rope.
At this moment, a guard who had been standing quietly beside the county guard moved and rushed towards a soldier who came over.
The man's kung fu was very good, and the long sword in his hand stabbed into the chalk of the soldier's body, and with another kick, the soldier immediately fell backwards, and at the same time, the other guards also took action.
"My lord, let's go!," one of them shouted.
At this time, a large number of flag soldiers outside the county guard mansion had arrived, and their shouts of killing had already been heard, and the chaotic footsteps were getting closer and closer to here.
At this time, another group of soldiers from the county guard arrived and immediately fought and killed.
Taking advantage of the scuffle behind, the county guard, under the protection of several guards, fled towards one place.
The front is chaotic, and there are chasing soldiers behind, where is the official authority on weekdays in the county guard at this time?
The south gate has not been lost, the Taishou went straight up, and with the escape, some people gradually gathered behind him, and from time to time they fought with the flag soldiers, and they dispersed again.
Poof!
On a street in the city, blood was splashed, there was a battle in front, a general was killed, Ding Huchen entered the city, and got the news that the county guard ran away with some people.
"This guy also has some skills, in such a situation, he can still escape from the county guard, but he is a little underestimated, but even if he can escape for a while, he may not be able to escape from this county!", Ding Huchen said coldly.
At the same time, he ordered that the mountain banner soldiers and their subordinates should not be burned and killed in the city, and they should not be disturbed by the surnames of the hundred people, but the gold and silver in the Taishou Mansion were allowed to be used by these mountain flags, and there were a large number of rewards afterwards.
Hearing this order, the mountain flag cheered.
Listening to the cheers, Ding Huchen let out a sneer, and defeated the two counties of Jiaozhou, all of which were pioneered by mountain flags, although they received a lot of rewards, but the number of people had already died a thousand.
The sum of the three flags in the mountains is only 7,000, which is already a big loss.
If two or three thousand more die, the nobles of the mountain clan may gain wealth, but the mountain clan itself will be wiped out.
At this moment, the county town of western Fujian is completely different from before.
On the streets, the big battle has just ended, and the small group of defenders in the city are still resisting stubbornly, and the hundreds of people in the city have already closed their doors and closed their doors, and they are afraid to show their heads.
Although the banner soldiers of the mountain tribe were fierce, under the restraint of Ding Huchen, they attacked the Jiaozhou puppet PS cake and did not burn and loot much, and they captured the county town in a timely manner, and there were not a few butterfly groove felts distributed to them, and after the meritorious service, they got more.
Therefore, even with this constraint, it did not make them feel any dissatisfaction. Moreover, they did not dare to be dissatisfied with the general.
"General, traces of the county guard have been found in the west outside the city!" After a while, someone tracked down the county guard's whereabouts.
Ding Huchen ordered: "Immediately besiege it, if you insist on not surrendering, there will be no forgiveness for killing!"
"Yes! General!"
In this way, another county was conquered by Ding Huchen.
When he got the news, Zheng Pingyuan was in a hurry.
"What are you talking about? Minxi County has been conquered?!" Throwing the information in his hand into the face of the official, Zheng Pingyuan walked back and forth in place.
Turning around, he stretched out a hand to the person kneeling on the ground, and trembled: "A county has been surrounded for many days, why is such a big matter reported now!"
The official hurriedly said to the head of the mouth: "Your Excellency, if it is not the minister delaying the fighter, it is really the intelligence of Jiaozhou, and it will take time to send it here!", "Okay, okay, get out! Get out of here immediately!"
Zheng Pingyuan waved his hand irritably, asked him to step back, and sat on the seat alone, his face suddenly pale.
During this time, Jing Nan also had an incident.
Jing Nan spread the news, saying that the general trend has gone, continue to resist, and have no choice but to kill and kill, so it is better to surrender earlier.
Although these rumors are strictly forbidden to investigate, they continue to circulate, and there have been several incidents.
However, the Zheng family is a big family, and they have many ears and eyes, so they got the news early, so they sent troops to suppress it early.
But the root of the curse has been buried, and the restless atmosphere has spread, and it cannot be suppressed, which also causes Zheng Pingyuan's mood to become worse day by day.
Now that the Chu army has appeared in Jiaozhou, he can't help but be afraid.
"Son, ......" At some point, Zheng Pingyuan's mother, Mrs. Zheng, walked in from the outside accompanied by a servant woman.
Seeing her in front, Zheng Pingyuan's face changed several times, and finally reluctantly smiled to meet her: "Mother, why did you get to the front?,, Old Madam Zheng frowned, and said: "There is a lot of trouble in the city, and I really can't rest assured for my mother, son, is the situation in the city really so serious?"
"Mother, don't worry about this matter, they can't turn the sky upside down, please go back to your mother with peace of mind! Things are messy here, you see ......" Zheng Pingyuan is still quite filial to his mother, even if his heart is like oil cooking at this time, he still patiently explains to his mother.
"Son, it's okay, and I'm relieved to be a mother. Old Madam Zheng sighed, turned around and walked out.
But he continued to mutter: "Men's affairs, for the mother is not very understanding, but stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, no matter what time it is, remember, don't do stupid things." ”
With that, he sighed and left.
Watching his mother leave, Zheng Pingyuan sat on the chair again, his mood was dark, could it be that his opportunity had been completely lost?
This great foundation is just a flash in the pan!
Xiangyang City, on the city tower.
Wang Hongyi stood quietly on the city wall, looking into the distance, silently distracted.
At this moment, Yu Liangbo, Zhang Youzhi, and several generals, as well as a group of guards, stood behind Wang Hongyi.
More than half a year ago, when he had not yet broken through Xiangyang City, Wang Hongyi also set up camp outside Xiangyang City.
Wang Hongyi still remembers that at that time, he had a great headache for the defense of this city, and now the owner of the city has been replaced by himself, standing on the city and looking out, the feeling is different.
In the extremely wide moat outside the city, the river is bubbling and flowing, and in March, light green has emerged on both sides of the river.
"Your Majesty, Jiaozhou Secret Letter!"
At this moment, Zhang Youzhi, who had been away for a while, hurried back and handed a secret letter to Wang Hongyi.
"Oh, it's a secret letter from Jiaozhou?", Wang Hongyi hurriedly took the secret letter and opened it casually to watch.
The content of the secret letter is not much, Wang Hongyi quickly glanced at it a few times, and immediately closed the secret letter.
"News came from Jiaozhou, General Ding has captured two counties one after another!" Wang Hongyi pondered for a moment, weaving words and speaking.
Seeing this, Wang Hongyi was extremely happy with this news, and turned around and ordered: "Tomorrow's court meeting, the orphan meeting will announce the matter." Zhang Youzhi, Yu Liangbo, the two of you will wait in the Secret Literature Pavilion for a while, and I want you two to sort out the information. ”
"Obey. ”
"Yes, lord!" Yu Liangbo and Zhang Yuzhi both bowed down, the meaning of this information, they all understood, don't look at Jiaozhou There are only 10,000 soldiers, but Jing Nan just can't stand it.
Jingnan was originally uneasy, if the rear was worry-free, with the interception of the sailors and the infantry guards, it could hold out for a while, but now a sharp knife appeared behind it, although it was only ten thousand, but it suddenly made Jingnan chaotic After all, the rear of Jingnan, which is not far from Jiaozhou, is extremely empty.
The attack on both sides is broken, which shows that the time has come to sweep Jingnan. !~!
