Qingzhou.
"Manager Qin, do you really want to be the vanguard?"
Sun Lei looked at Qin Ming and asked, Qin Ming used to be a military attaché in Qingzhou, but now that Liangshan troops have entered Qingzhou, it is somewhat inappropriate for Qin Ming to take the lead, but Qin Ming really insisted on being the vanguard.
"Brother, that Murong Yanda bullied me, and now it's time to take revenge."
Qin Ming solemnly clasped his fists at Sun Lei and said, he had always charged forward in several battles, but he was always a little bit behind. The credit was right in front of him but he just didn't catch it. He was never willing to give up this time when he went to Qingzhou. He was too familiar with Qingzhou.
"Okay, Qin Ming will be the vanguard and capture Qingzhou!"
Sun Lei nodded. Since Qin Ming insisted, he couldn't refuse.
Sun Lei took Xiao Jiasui, Tang Bin, Qin Ming, Hua Rong, Zhang Qing, Hao Siwen, Shi Xiu, Huang Xin and others and headed for Qingzhou with an army of five thousand.
When the army passed by Qingfeng Village again, the people in the village came to the roadside to welcome Liangshan's army.
"Where did you come from? Isn't Qingfeng Village abandoned?"
Hua Rong looked at the people on the roadside in confusion and asked. As the former commander of Qingfeng Village, he could tell at a glance that these were strangers. All the former villagers followed him to Liangshanbo.
"Huazhi Village, we went up the mountain, but now we have moved down."
The common people knew Hua Rong and greeted Hua Rong quickly.
It turns out that since Liang Shanbo captured the surrounding cities, the Qingzhou magistrate no longer dared to exploit the people as unscrupulously as before, fearing that Liang Shanbo would come to plead for the people.
The people lived a poor life in the mountains. Seeing that the government had become more restrained, they boldly went down the mountain and came to live in Qingfeng Village, far away from the state capital.
"Is your Majesty going to deal with those corrupt officials?"
The people looked at the mighty Liang Shanbo army and asked excitedly. Now people all over Shandong hope that Liang Shanbo's army will arrive soon.
"This time we will clean up Qingzhou!"
Sun Lei said with a smile, there is no need to hide this matter.
As soon as they heard that Sun Lei was going to take control of Qingzhou, the people of Qingfeng Village immediately cheered. Once Liangshanbo comes, their lives will be guaranteed from now on, and they don't have to worry anymore.
After appeasing the people, Sun Lei led his army directly to Qingzhou City.
"Murong Yanda, come out and die!"
Qin Ming rode out into battle, pointed at the city with a mace and roared.
"Qin Ming, you rebel, you dare to lead the thieves to attack the city, I should have cut you into pieces that day!"
Murong Yanda looked at Qin Ming in the city and cursed.
"You are a corrupt official who has been lining your own pockets, exploiting the people, and scraping your bones to make oil all day long. Today I will seek justice for the people of Qingzhou!"
Qin Ming also pointed at Murong Yanda and cursed him. He was a rebel, but Murong Yanda was not a good person. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Murong Yanda deserved death.
"Bed Crossbow, come forward!"
Hua Rong waved his hand, and the soldiers directly pushed out hundreds of bed crossbows. These were sent by Gao Qiu. They could have brought artillery, but the artillery was heavy and inconvenient to cross the mountains. The bed crossbows were light and easy to carry.
Murong Yanda's face turned green when he saw the rows of bed crossbows. He had long known that Liangshanbo's five thousand troops were coming to attack the city. For this reason, he mobilized manpower to strengthen the city wall, thinking that everything was infallible, but he did not expect that Liangshanbo was so Qingzhou can't stop this multi-bed crossbow.
"Quick, hide behind the city wall!"
Murong Yanda hurriedly ordered. The bed crossbow has a long range and high accuracy. It is a living target when standing on the city wall.
"Brother, I will lead people to attack the city!"
When Qin Ming saw Murong Yanda hiding in the tower, he immediately asked for a battle.
"Don't worry, you can't attack the city forcefully!"
Sun Lei shook his head. Attacking the city with ladders was the stupidest way. He didn't want to do this.
"Let's camp here and let them have a taste of it tonight."
Sun Lei looked at the sunset and said with a smile, human energy is limited. He had just observed the soldiers in the city, and his face was full of nervousness and exhaustion. It was obvious that he had not slept well for a long time after learning that the Liangshan army was coming.
After discovering the enemy's weakness, it is natural to seize it and attack it fiercely. Don't expect the Qingzhou army to sleep well tonight, and it will be the same tomorrow. Even the most powerful man will not be able to withstand it for three days. When Qingzhou's army is exhausted and horses are exhausted, it will be much easier to attack the city again.
Seeing that Liangshan soldiers and horses did not attack the city, Murong Yanda felt a little calmer. When he looked around, he found that the Liangshan army was camping outside the city. He felt panic again. He had sent a letter asking for help and even went to the palace. He wrote a letter and asked his sister to say a few words in front of the emperor.
But Murong Yanda knew very well that reinforcements would not be coming for a while. The imperial court was now fighting everywhere. There were wars in Hedong, Huaixi, and Jiangnan. Liang Shanbo had just defeated Gao Qiu and Cai You, and the 100,000-strong army was almost wiped out. Now Where are the troops and horses coming to help?
"No, I can't wait here to die!"
Murong Yanda felt determined in his heart. The Murong family had finally achieved what they had today, and he could never die in Qingzhou Mansion.
After making up his mind, Murong Yanda went directly back to the government office and immediately ordered his servants to clean up his belongings.
night.
The cry of killing rang out outside Qingzhou Mansion, and crossbow arrows flew towards the city wall, scattering the bonfires lighting up the city wall. Burning wood was scattered everywhere, and the city wall was in chaos for a while.
The soldiers did not dare to show their heads. They hid behind the female wall and in the city gate hole one by one, allowing the crossbow arrows to scatter the fire on the city.
It soon became pitch black on the city wall. Without the lights, the crossbow arrows had no target. The shooting was suspended. The defenders on the city finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But before the defenders could take a breath, the shouts of killing began from below the city. The voices were already leaning against the city wall, and seemed to be climbing up the city wall.
The defenders were horrified, so they opened their bows and fired at the city. It was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly. However, in the eyes of the defenders, there seemed to be countless enemies in the darkness waving butcher knives towards them.
After several rounds of shooting, the shouts of killing in the city suddenly stopped. The defenders were in shock and boldly held up torches to see clearly what was happening below the city.
In the darkness, Hua Rong stepped out from behind the shield, stretched his bow and shot the soldier holding the torch down the city wall with one arrow.
"kill!"
A group of soldiers held up shields and shouted again with iron trumpets outside the moat.
The defenders on the city no longer dared to show their heads. Logs and rolling stones were smashed down directly. The stones fell, but they were still more than ten feet away from the Liangshan soldiers.
"If we attack the city like this, I'll see how many days they can survive!"
Sun Lei laughed and said, Qingzhou Prefecture does not have a decent general now, Murong Yanda is a fool, and the soldiers without command are guarding the city haphazardly. If this consumption continues, the city will be destroyed in a few days.
"Brother's clever plan, that idiot Murong Yanda is probably packing up his belongings and preparing to run away!"
Qin Ming said that he had worked under Murong Yanda for many years and knew very well what kind of person he was. When things happened, he could only shirk responsibility or escape.
"You can't run away. There are only a few roads out of Qingzhou. Unless Murong Yanda is willing to part with all the gold and silver, there is no way he can run away."
Sun Lei smiled and shook his head. Murong Yanda is a greedy person. This kind of person takes money very seriously. Qingzhou is full of mountain roads, where can he run?
It's even later, sorry
