Ding County.
Upstairs at the city gate. A banner with the word "李" is hung.
Under the banner. Li Shanniu wore armor and led about a thousand soldiers to guard the city, looking at the black soldiers of Wu Nian's army in front of him.
His face looked ugly.
no way.
He also assigned men to guard the east, west, and north of the city, and also sent people to guard the families of the captains of thousands and centurions.
At most, he can only use so many people to defend the city.
"Brothers. We, Meng Yuan, are a fighting nation. Even if we die, we must be like a ferocious beast. We must die in the midst of killing."
Li Shanniu pulled out the steel knife from his waist, raised it to the sky, and shouted loudly, hoping to boost morale and fight to the death.
But there were very few responders.
It was like the end of the dynasty at this time. Not to mention the Han soldiers, even the Mongolian and Yuan soldiers were already in panic.
Siege warfare.
No.
Not even talking about siege warfare. Long Qie and Zhang Jin's soldiers just came to the city, then climbed up the city, and only paid a very small price to attack the city.
After entering the city.
Zhang Jin and Long Qie purged the people in the city. Needless to say, the Mongolian and Yuan soldiers killed them all. The Han commanders of thousands, centurions, county magistrates, and county magistrates were all executed.
However, the Han commanders Xu Yuanhe and Hua Daoting drew their swords and touched their necks without waiting for them to take action.
But Zhang Jin and Long Qie did not let them go and chopped off their heads.
After cleaning up the city, they welcomed Wu Nian into the city.
Wu Nian, wearing armor and a scarlet cloak behind him, entered the city gate surrounded by his own soldiers. Looking down at the heads of Li Shanniu, Xu Yuanhe and Hua Daoting held by Zhang Jin and Long Qie's soldiers, he said: "Now, I no longer need these things as a deterrent. Send them to mass graves." Bury it."
"Tonight. We will stay in the city. Early tomorrow morning. Zhang Xiaowei. You and I will lead the troops to Yuan County. Long Xiaowei. You will stay in Ding County to garrison while training and integrating the troops."
"Yes." Zhang Jin's face showed joy. I still have a share in attacking Yuan County.
Long Qie was a little reluctant, but did not disobey Wu Nian's order. After taking a deep breath, he responded: "Yes."
That night Wu Nian rested in the city. Early the next morning. Wu Nian left everything in Ding County to Long Qie, and led Zhang Jin to rush to Yuan County without stopping, meeting up with Tieniu on the way who had failed in his ambush.
Finally, in the morning of this day, we arrived outside the east gate of Yuan County.
Under the banner of "Wu". Wu Nian sat astride a tall horse and looked around at the fertile fields. Spring was about to begin. Just right. Even after capturing the city, farming was not delayed.
After this fall, the granary is full again.
Immediately, Wu Nian raised his head and looked at the city ahead.
Under the banner of "Chen". There are many armored soldiers, showing a murderous atmosphere.
Wu Nian smiled, turned to Tieniu and Zhang Jin beside him and said, "As expected of the one who gave me the false surrender letter. The defenders of Yuan County are quite capable."
"He's just a clown. General. Please order me to attack the city immediately. Before dark, I will definitely capture Yuan County for the general."
Tieniu's ambush failed this time, and he was already hungry and thirsty. He couldn't wait to hold his fists and said to Wu Nian.
"I also request to attack the city." Zhang Jin, not to be outdone, said with clasped fists.
A smile appeared in Wu Nian's eyes when he heard this. He first raised his head and looked at the sky, and then said: "If we don't set up camp first, we will attack the city immediately. If we don't capture the city before dark, then we will be in danger at night. You guys. Are you really sure?"
"have."
Tieniu takes the lead and cuts the iron course.
Zhang Jin nodded heavily, exuding a strong aura.
Wu Nian thought about it in his mind. Zhang Jin and Tieniu had an army of six thousand households, and they had strong soldiers and horses.
Although the defenders of Yuan County are good, they are certainly no match for Zhang Jin and Tieniu. Moreover. Even if they couldn't break into the city before dark, the army would probably have to stay outside the city for a whole day.
Do the people in the city really dare to attack?
Wu Nian was about to speak when he heard noise coming from the front. Wu Nian looked up and looked ahead, the city gate was opened.
"alert!!!"
No orders from generals are needed. The thousands and hundreds of households in Wu Nian's army organized their own troops and were on guard.
Wu Nian did not move on his horse.
Zhang Jin and Tieniu each took the horseshoes from the hands of their own soldiers, and placed them behind their backs, ready for battle.
"General. The defenders in the city are not guarding the city, but they have to go out to fight fiercely. It seems that there is no need to wait for dark. Brother Zhang and I can defeat them with just a snap of our fingers. Fight into the city." Tieniu said. He said with a sneer on his face.
"Tieniu. Stop bragging. A snap of your fingers? I can't do such a thing." Zhang Jin shook his head and said angrily.
"Hahaha. Are you not allowed to brag?" Tieniu chuckled, turning his head and rolling his eyes at Zhang Jin.
But they got sidetracked.
Although the city gate was opened, only one horse came out. The knight on horseback galloped forward alone.
"It's interesting." Wu Nian pinched his chin, a little confused. It's really a small temple demon with a strong wind.
The guard general of Yuan County seems to be named Chen Tushan.
First they gave me a false surrender letter, and now they opened the city gate and sent people out.
There are quite a few tricks.
Not long after, a soldier came to Wu Nian on horseback and reported: "General. Chen Tushan sent someone to declare a war."
"Let him come over." Wu Nian waved his hand and said.
"Yes." The soldier responded, tightened the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head and returned to the front.
"Gauntlet?!" Zhang Jin and Tieniu looked at each other, both confused. What are you doing? !
After a while. A group of soldiers escorted a Mongolian and Yuan soldier to Wu Nian.
"Are you Wu Nian, the fierce tiger of Liaodong?" The Mongolian, Yuan and Han soldiers raised their heads and looked at Wu Nian rebelliously.
Wu Nian waved his hand, signaling Zhang Jin and Tieniu, who were showing angry faces, not to be impulsive. He had no intention of dismounting. He looked down at the Meng Yuan soldiers and said, "Chen Tushan gave me a letter of war?"
"Yes."
The Mongolian and Yuan Han soldiers took out a yellow envelope from their arms, held it in their hands, and continued to raise their heads and said to Wu Nian: "The Liaodong Tigers are indeed heroes. We all admire them."
"But we are different from the trash in Ding County. The Liaodong Tigers will never capture our Yuan County in a short time."
"Don't the Han people pay attention to their teachers' reputation? That's why our Lord asked me to bring a letter of challenge."
"Invite the fierce tigers of Liaodong to fight to the death at the foot of Yuan County."
The soldiers around Wu Nian all had angry faces, wanting to kill this arrogant guy. But they all held back, and one of the soldiers walked out, took the letter of war from the hands of the Meng Yuan soldiers, and handed it to Wu Nian.
Wu Nian opened the envelope, took out the letter of challenge inside, unfolded it and read it.
A lot of nonsense, Wu Nian didn't want to read it after reading a few lines. He lowered his head and said to the Meng Yuan soldiers: "Go back and tell Chen Tushan."
"Don't think too highly of yourself. If you want to fight me to the death, he will have to find thousands of households."
"He's not qualified yet."
"I don't need to take action. After lunch, my generals Zhang Jin and Tieniu will raise their troops to attack the city. We can break the city before sunset. Behead him."
After that, Wu Nian waved his right hand and said sternly: "Left or right. Cut off his ears and nose and blast him out."
