Go to the capital.
royal palace.
Above the main hall, Liang Jing was sitting on the dragon chair. She was holding the military report from the Ministry of War in her hand. She was extremely happy and shouted to the ministers present.
"Our army successfully captured Taizhou in just one day! The rebel leader was shot dead on the spot!"
"This battle showed the momentum of my court and the majesty of the army."
"You may not know that the enemy general was shot dead by our army directly on the city wall because the crossbow bed designed by Eunuch Lu was extremely powerful."
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers present were stunned and started talking.
Even the general and general Xiao He could not believe it.
The general did not expect to encounter the news that the enemy general was shot and killed directly on the city wall.
General Xiao He has been fighting for so many years, but he has never encountered such a saying. Is the crossbow bed designed by Eunuch Lu really as powerful as they say?
If this thing can really be equipped on the army, it will definitely be stronger. Now Eunuch Lu only made it simply and did not make more.
"His Majesty still has a sharp eye. He saw at a glance that Eunuch Lu was a talent that could be made. No wonder he has been waiting for the opportunity and did not rush to attack. He did not expect to defeat the enemy in one day."
"I think it will go very smoothly from now on."
Liang Jing nodded, she naturally thought the same thing... The next steps in Ningzhou and Anzhou were naturally as simple as searching for something.
Ningzhou City.
Li Jing has been very angry since he learned that the person who assassinated him turned out to be Xu Shanbao from Anzhou, because he felt that since Xu Shanbao was an ally with him, why did he hurt him?
what is this?
It was at this time that he received a piece of news that surprised him, that is, the army he sent to Taizhou had come back. Although there were only a few thousand people, there were quite a lot of them. Why did they come back suddenly.
And these people also brought him news that surprised him. Taizhou was directly attacked, and it didn't take more than a day.
Wang Sheng, a loser, was shot dead!
As soon as the news came out, Li Jingren was stunned!
"Are you saying that he was killed while standing on the city wall?"
"Tell me again, you were shot so high above the city wall and from such a long distance. Where can you find such a powerful crossbow?"
"General, what my subordinates said is true. The imperial army is extremely powerful this time. It has brought many new crossbows with high range and lethality. We are no match at all."
"They also brought a big guy. That big guy can shoot many arrows at once, and it is very powerful. It can also shoot an arrow like a spear."
"We are also very scared..."
For a moment, Li Jing was confused. He would be the next person to be hit.
What should he do? The soldiers he has now are similar to those in Taizhou.
The only way that came to mind was to seek help from the other two people, but... Xu Shanbao wanted to kill himself, so he could only ask Zhou Zhengtian.
His strength and the number of troops under his command were both good. Perhaps he could only be turned to for help. Thinking of this, Li Jing quickly asked someone to write a divorce letter and send an army over as soon as possible.
All he needs to do is guard the city gate and hold on.
…
Li Yuecheng.
After Zhou Zhengtian received the news, he was also very surprised. He did not expect that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were so powerful this time. Is that eunuch really so powerful?
The general on the city wall was shot dead directly. This was also a rare and strange thing. I didn't expect to encounter it.
This thing is indeed very rare for him, but it is actually expected.
At this time, he also happened to receive a request for help from Li Jing.
"Hmph, you are still here pretending. You have obviously betrayed us and want to defect to the imperial court. But now you come to borrow troops, just to trap my soldiers and kill them, so as to weaken my strength!"
"No borrowing!"
"Why should I borrow it, general?"
"snort!"
On the other side, in Anzhou City, Xu Shanbao was horrified when he learned the news, but he would not choose to help Li Jing in Ningzhou!
Anyway, Zhou Zhengtian would help him, not to mention that this guy didn't ask for help.
"You dare to send someone to assassinate me, Li Jing, Li Jing, let me see how you can block it. When you kneel down and beg me, I will find a way to help you."
"Go and gather all the soldiers who fled from Taizhou into my army."
"Yes, General!"
"..."
Soon, Lu Yun's soldiers got ready. They sent out troops without waiting at all. They also found many rebel forces along the way, but those people were no match at all.
They are equivalent to a grasshopper, and the army can easily crush them to death.
In just a few days, the army successfully arrived outside Ningzhou City.
Seeing that the reinforcements had not arrived, Li Jing was very scared. He could only fight with all his strength. However, Lu Yun's army was not a vegetarian.
Even if he has been hiding on the city wall, we can still find ways to attack him.
Since the last time Li Jing heard the news that Wang Sheng was shot while standing on the city wall, he no longer dared to stay on the city wall and could only sit in the city and wait for the news.
However, in just two days, the city was breached.
Lu Yun's army was already strong, and there must be more people than them.
What's more important is the shooting power of the crossbow! There is also a crossbow bed, which can also play an excellent role when attacking a city.
After Li Jing learned that the city had been destroyed, he was terrified, like a bereaved dog.
He quickly took his own soldiers, about ten thousand of them, and left in a hurry, not daring to stay longer.
Anyway, he has a place to seek refuge! That is, Marquis Wenxin.
"Forget it, Marquis Wenxin will definitely help me!"
"Besides, my joining will also increase his chances of winning a lot. Lu Yun, just wait for me!"
"Just a stinky eunuch, don't think that if I lose this time, I will lose to you forever. I will come back one day and take away everything that belongs to me."
Ningzhou City is declared to have been destroyed, which proves that most of the areas under the jurisdiction of Ningzhou City have been successfully recovered. This is very simple.
The army is now in great momentum, and the soldiers are also furious.
The fighting spirit needs to be tempered by winning battles one after another. Now, how could he stop? After a brief rest, he led the army and continued the expedition.
Now their army has not suffered too much damage, and the number has actually increased a little bit, just because they have been recruiting enemy soldiers during the attack.
Taking these people under your command can not only increase your strength, but also win people's hearts.
Another thing, don’t worry about food and grass!
