That night.
An army marched out from the north gate of the capital, all composed of armored cavalry, but this army was surprisingly quiet, like statues, exuding a shocking evil aura.
Seeing this scene, many people knelt down and kowtowed, saying something like, "The Yin soldiers are passing through, and the Bodhisattvas will bless them."
at the same time.
Under Wancheng City, there were dead bodies everywhere, broken armors, broken flags, and scarlet blood, piled up like mountains on the land.
The city was defended by Li Yi's new army, led by Cao Fengyang.
Last night, the 100,000 leading troops of the bandits marched into Wancheng and launched an attack quickly. The defenders of Wancheng were on guard for a long time. The bandits' attack was not going well, so they retreated. Then, a group of cavalry suddenly came out of the city and caught off guard. The blood of hundreds of thousands of thieves and bandits was flowing everywhere, and their corpses were strewn across the land.
The new army fought against the bandits for the second time and won a great victory!
This is the good fortune of the people of Wancheng, otherwise once the city is breached, these brutal rebels will definitely massacre the city.
In Wancheng Mansion Office, Cao Fengyang was taking off his blood-stained armor, respectfully placed his long sword on the wooden stand behind him, and bowed three times and kowtowed.
The same is true for Suo Yi, Yuan Jianfan, Guo Polu and other generals.
The magistrate of Wancheng County did not dare to hesitate and also knelt down.
After paying homage, he wondered: "Master Cao, why are you and the generals doing this?"
Cao Fengyang said softly: "This is the sword given to Shang Fang by His Majesty himself. It can kill sycophants at the top and villains at the bottom. Seeing this sword feels like Your Majesty is here in person!"
"Your Majesty, it's your Majesty!" The county magistrate was panicked.
He is not stupid, these are all generals of His Majesty's personal army, all generals of the imperial court, especially Cao Fengyang, who is a first-class governor, commanding the world's troops.
Cao Fengyang turned his head and said calmly: "You can rest assured. I'm waiting here. Wancheng is as solid as a rock. If the thieves want to capture Wancheng, there will be no gates. And in a few days, His Majesty will definitely come with the army in person and will definitely let him go." These thieves died here!"
"Yes, yes!" Magistrate Wancheng lowered his head repeatedly.
"But there is one thing!"
Cao Fengyang's tone suddenly changed and he said coldly: "I don't care who you are or who you have been loyal to. If you dare to secretly cause trouble during the war, I will kill you all!"
"Ah, Nuo, I don't dare. I am your Majesty's servant. I will never betray Your Majesty." The magistrate of Wancheng County was so frightened that he almost cried.
All the generals around him were as fierce as tigers and wolves, and Magistrate Wancheng felt that his liver and gallbladder were about to tremble.
Cao Fengyang continued: "Bring all the county magistrate's family members into the military camp and keep them under strict supervision. If they dare to do anything illegal, they will all be killed!"
Suoyi came out and said, "No!"
It's no wonder that Cao Fengyang is like this. He has to guard against it. There are very few people loyal to His Majesty in the world, especially in places far away from the capital, which have long been controlled by aristocratic families.
The magistrate of Wancheng County was about to cry, "I swear that I will never betray the general, nor will I betray your majesty."
At this moment, a scout walked up quickly and said anxiously: "Your Majesty Governor, the scout camp was just thirty miles away from Wancheng, and we found the bandit general Zhu Yong's men and horses, estimated to be no less than 200,000, and 60,000 cavalry. , coming from the south at an extremely fast speed, 60,000 cavalry are less than ten miles away from Wancheng."
Cao Fengyang smiled calmly, "Zhu Yong, isn't he the Zhu Yong who claims to be the invincible fighter in the world? He came quickly enough, and it seems that the bandits were defeated quickly enough."
The magistrate of Wancheng County trembled all over and was frightened. The bandit army of 100,000 people had just been defeated, and the army of 200,000 people attacked again. What should we do?
The imperial army's total strength was only 60,000, and 30,000 were divided out of the city. There were only 30,000 defenders of the city. 30,000 versus 200,000?
He almost fainted from fear!
I can't even stand still.
"General, this... what should we do? What should we do next? There are 200,000 people. 200,000 people are besieging Wancheng. Can we hold it?"
Now Magistrate Wancheng is about to cry. He is really unlucky. How could such a thing happen to him?
Even when bandits besieged the land of Sanqin, it was only a hundred thousand?
In a small Wancheng, do those thieves and bandits really think highly of me?
"Are you afraid?" Cao Fengyang's face darkened and his tone was unkind.
"I...I..." Magistrate Wancheng stood there, shaking his knees.
"What are you afraid of? It's only 200,000 yuan. No matter how many thieves there are, I will never let him come back. I will order all the ministries to patrol day and night and guard them to the death!" Cao Fengyang ordered again.
"No!" the generals responded.
"By the way, let me tell you something. You should tell the people in the city that the bandits have ordered that any city that does not surrender will be massacred. We just killed a hundred thousand bandits!" Cao Fengyang completely dismissed it with one sentence. Magistrate Wancheng's last hope.
Cao Fengyang naturally knew the current predicament. There were 200,000 thieves and 60,000 cavalry. These 60,000 cavalry were the elite of the old battalion under Zhu Chongyuan.
But so what, they are just a bunch of pigs and dogs. They are not worth mentioning in front of the new army's new guns.
…
The bandit camp.
The bandit general Zhu Yong arrived first with 60,000 cavalry, but was stunned when he saw the camp that had been reduced to ruins.
What's happening here?
One hundred thousand rebels besieged a small Wancheng. Shouldn't they be defeated in a single battle?
How come one hundred thousand rebels were wiped out by the regiment?
Zhu Yong lived up to his name, he was brave and fierce, he was an unparalleled general among thieves and bandits, and he was also the adopted son of Marshal Zhu Chongyuan. He was known as an invincible fighter in the world.
"snort!"
"What a bunch of trash, a bunch of pigs, even a bunch of pigs are not that stupid. A hundred thousand troops can't take down a small Wancheng, it's really becoming more and more useless!"
Zhu Yong snorted angrily and cursed: "Where is the general, where did he die?"
The general replied, "General, the former general was killed and his throat was sealed with one arrow."
"What?" Zhu Yong was completely stunned. He sealed his throat with one arrow. Among all the troops, he sealed his throat with one arrow. What kind of method was that? Is it a first-grade archery?
"Trash, a single raid by the army caused heavy losses to an army of 100,000 people. Even the general died. Are they all pigs?"
"Come here, bring the alive ones to me!"
Not long after, a wounded soldier was dragged over.
Zhu Yong drew his sword and glared, "Tell me, how did you lose!"
The wounded soldier was horrified and hurriedly told everything that had happened, adding some exaggerations.
"puff!"
Zhu Yong slashed with his sword, and the wounded soldier's head fell to the ground.
"Trash, trash, damn it!"
"It seems that the enemy is very strong. It should be the three-town cavalry of Northern Liao Governor Ye Lao. This is why the little emperor dares to go to war with our rebel army."
The generals under his command were dissatisfied and asked: "Are the three towns' cavalry strong? Are they stronger than the elite cavalry of our old camp?"
Zhu Yong glared coldly, sheathed his sword and said: "The three-town cavalry is the ace army of Ye Lao, the governor of Northern Liao Dynasty. They are extremely powerful. They are all prairie people. They are skilled with bows and horses and are as fast as lightning. Their combat power is no better than the elite cavalry of our old camp." weak."
"Really or not, are they really so fierce? Even the elite cavalry of the old camp are no match for them?" The generals were all surprised.
Zhu Yong smiled contemptuously, "What are you afraid of? The three towns' cavalry are strong enough, but they don't have less than 30,000 people. Mr. Ye wants to help his emperor's son-in-law, but he won't give it all to him. The maximum is 5,000 people. We have 60,000. We have 60,000. It crushed him to death too.”
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"That's right, ten to one, easy to handle!"
…
The next day.
An army of 200,000 thieves and bandits spread out under Wancheng City. Looking from a distance, they could see spears like a forest and flags like a sea, stretching to the sky with no end in sight.
Zhu Yong gave an order, and the army of bandits and siege troops moved slowly with murderous intent.
But he still underestimated the new army defending the city. Under the counterattack of the new fire guns, the bandit army once again smashed its head and bloodied in front of the small city of Wancheng.
An army of 200,000 thieves and bandits took turns taking turns to attack, but they were unable to attack repeatedly. They lost tens of thousands of people and could not even touch the city walls.
The general Zhu Yong led the charge, but was shot in the shoulder by Suo Yi with an arrow. He almost died under the city. He was instantly frightened and fled in panic.
But how could Cao Fengyang let him escape easily? The New Army cavalry held long spears and advanced like a forest. From a distance, they greeted them with firearms. When they entered, they stabbed them with spears. The two hundred thousand thieves who were killed were stunned and fled in confusion.
Soon, even Zhu Chongyuan was attracted.
A mere Wancheng had caused heavy losses to the rebels. Where could he put the face of a commander like him?
Zhu Chongyuan personally took charge and led a million-strong army to attack Wancheng like crazy.
But Wancheng is like a rock that remains unmoved despite the surging waves.
Millions of troops fought hard for a day to no avail.
This incident immediately caused an uproar in the Gale Dynasty. The rebel army of one million was defeated by the ten thousand defenders of Wancheng.
Wancheng, a small town, immediately attracted the attention of people all over the world.
At the same time, Li Yi personally led 40,000 new troops. This time, he did not hide his whereabouts, but came with great fanfare.
He just wanted to show the world how he defeated the army of bandits head-on today.
When Li Yi arrived today, these thieves and bandits immediately pounced on him like mosquitoes seeing blood.
The vanguard was none other than the elite cavalry of the old battalion of the rebel army, and the general was Zhu Yong, who was shot off his horse by Suo Yi with an arrow.
This time, he issued a military order to capture Li Yi alive in order to avenge him!
