According to the military regulations of the Fengwu Army, drinking in the army is not allowed. However, because this battle took place in the coldest month of winter, the army had limited means of keeping warm, and because of sneak attacks to prevent being discovered by the enemy, they could not light large fires to keep warm.
Because of this, Ye Mingsheng made an exception and ordered the wine shop to prepare some water and wine for the soldiers to warm up. However, in order to prevent the soldiers from getting drunk, the supply was limited to each person, and private exchanges were never allowed. Violators Deal with it seriously·············
Looking in the direction of Jizhou City in the distance, Yuan Song suddenly asked Ma Zhongjun beside him:
"Zhongjun heard that the Governor is very fond of you. I think you will be promoted after this battle, right?"
Ma Zhongjun was a little surprised when he heard this. He hesitated for a moment and then nodded and said:
"It should be so. I would like to thank General Yuan for your support!"
Yuan Song smiled and patted Ma Zhongjun on the shoulder, then continued to him;
"Today I will be in charge of the central army. Zhongjun, you will lead the attack on the city!"
When Ma Zhongjun heard this, he looked at Yuan Song with some surprise. He knew that Yuan Song intended to give the credit to him!
Meeting Ma Zhongjun's gaze, Yuan Song smiled and nodded to indicate that he heard correctly!
Seeing this, Ma Zhongjun did not shirk away. He bowed deeply to Yuan Song and said:
"Thank you, General Yuan!"
"Work hard! The future of Fengwu Army belongs to you young people!" Yuan Song warned:
"Um!"

Li Mazi, holding a spear in his hand, was standing on the city wall of Jizhou, rubbing his hands and belching wine. At this time, he had a look of despair on his face.
He is an ordinary soldier of the Yan Army stationed in Jizhou City. Today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Everyone is very happy. On weekdays, there is finally something fishy in the food that is cooked in the kitchen. He could get a few more pieces of meat and a bowl of wine in his rice bowl. After he was full of wine and food, he was about to play two dice with others when he didn't expect that he would be sent out to stand guard by the corps commander.
Feeling the biting cold outside, Li Mazi, whose mentality was already unbalanced, was filled with resentment. He couldn't help but began to curse and vent in a low voice:
"Fat Wang, you bastard who gave birth to a child without an asshole, didn't I just win two copper coins from you? Are you going to do this to me?"
"The Luobei people have been driven back. Who would come to attack Jizhou during the Chinese New Year? You bitch..."
"Fat Wang, you piece of shit, don't let me get up one day. If one day I come to power and become the head of the capital, I will definitely kill you and your old n'ts." At this point, Li Mazi seemed to be Thinking of something, there was a hint of evil light in his eyes, and Li Mazi couldn't help laughing when he thought of his triumph.
After a moment of silence, Li Mazi was moved and knocked, but there was no one around, so he couldn't help but start crafting on the city wall. In the army, let alone women, even a sow was rarely seen all year round, and something like a sow was rarely seen. For a young man like Li Mazi, who is in his prime, his fishing net is the most prosperous.
Maybe it was because being on the city wall was particularly exciting, so Li Mazi soon entered the sage time. Just as he squinted his eyes and recalled how comfortable he had just been, he suddenly heard something sound outside the city wall, but he didn't hear it. No matter what, I just thought there was a wolf walking around outside.
Jizhou is close to the grassland and wolves often appear in groups. Li Mazi has been stationed in Jizhou for five years, so he has become accustomed to this.
For Li Mazi, although life in Jizhou is a bit depressing, it is acceptable as long as he does not have to go to the battlefield. He is not a soldier as the generals keep saying, and he does not want to make contributions to his own land. I don’t even have a house. I joined the army just to make a living because I couldn’t survive in my hometown...
Thinking of this, Li Mazi suddenly sighed, and a trace of confusion and fear flashed in his eyes. Now the news has spread throughout the military camp that the governor is not making good progress in Yunbin, and he needs to mobilize manpower to support you in Youyan. Their Commander-in-Chief Shen is going to be the general of the Second Division, and thousands of people from Jizhou will also be transferred to follow him.
Although he knew that he might not be chosen back, Li Mazi still couldn't help but worry a little. He joined the army just to earn a living, save some money, then go back to his hometown to buy a few acres of thin farmland, and then marry a good-natured woman to them. The old Li family continues the family lineage. I don’t want to go to the battlefield and fight with people.
If this goes to the battlefield, it will be life and death. In the past few years in the army, Li Mazi has seen the miserable appearance of missing arms, legs, and forehead. He does not want to fall into that fate. Although he does not want to go to the battlefield, Li Mazi has nothing to do with it. The best way is to just let nature take its course...
Just when Li Mazi was looking forward and feeling anxious in his heart, he suddenly heard the footsteps of a brigade outside the city wall. Li Mazi only thought that his brothers who were out on official business had returned. Although some of them were out on official business during the New Year, but Li Mazi still shouted outside the city as usual:
"Which part are you from? What's the password?"
After Li Mazi finished speaking, the footsteps outside suddenly stopped. For a moment, there was only the sound of whistling outside the city. Although Li Mazi was a little surprised when the other party did not speak, he still didn't react after Jizhou had been in peace for a long time. A lantern, just to use the firelight to see what is going on outside the city.
However, as soon as the lanterns were lit, several gunshots were suddenly heard outside the city. Then, before Li Mazi could figure out what happened, he was shot several times and fell from the city wall.
Although Li Mazi was just an insignificant little person that no one cared about, his death marked the Fengwu Army's sneak attack on Jizhou!
From today onwards, Liaoyang’s Fengwu Army enters the customs!

In the General Military Mansion in Jizhou City.
Shen Zhuo was drinking flower wine, with a beautiful girl in his arms. When he got excited, he suddenly heard explosions and shouts coming from outside.
Although he was also a battle-hardened veteran, his brain had been paralyzed by alcohol and beauty at this time, so he did not realize that the war had come. He only thought that the explosion was someone setting off firecrackers in the city during the Chinese New Year. , and the shouts of the soldiers were because the soldiers were drunk and fighting.
Thinking that Shen Zhuo, who wanted to drink and soothe his sorrows here, was undoubtedly even more angry. Although he said in front of Zhao Jianan that day that he would become the general of the Second Division and help Zhao Fuqu, it was just a face-saving talk. That's all, who would have thought that Zhao Jianan would really send him there...
He is old and has stayed in the peaceful land of Jizhou for too long. He has long lost the energy he once had. Now if he is asked to go to Yun He and others to fight for his life, doesn't it mean that he is going to die?
Although he wanted to refuse, Shen Zhuo couldn't open his mouth when he thought of what he said that day in front of Zhao Jianan, patting his chest. He could only drink wine to relieve his worries and make them worse. But even so, outside Those little bastards still don't let him stop. Is there any royal method?
The drunken Shen Zhuo pushed away the Wenxiang Nuanyu in his arms, threw the wine glass to the ground and roared angrily:
"Catch the bastards who are causing trouble outside, hang them on a tree and whip them hard!"
"yes!"
After receiving Shen Zhuo's order, his soldiers immediately began to take action. However, before Shen Zhuo could sit down and take a sip of wine, his soldiers ran back with a look of horror and said loudly:
"My lord, General Soldier, I'm sorry. The Fengwu Army made a surprise attack on Jizhou. Fengwu Army soldiers are everywhere outside the city..."
Before the soldiers had finished speaking, Shen Zhuo roared again:
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little son of a bitch? How could the Fengwu Army have the guts to attack Jizhou!"
In response to Shen Zhuo's scolding, the soldiers did not dare to argue and could only continue to explain:
"My Lord, it is absolutely true that the Fengwu Army is really coming. I heard from the brothers outside that the Fengwu Army is everywhere outside the city. There are hundreds of thousands of them!"
After the soldiers finished speaking, Shen Zhuo still didn't seem to believe it. At this moment, a general covered in blood ran into Shen Zhuo's room. This man was Shen Zhuo's most trusted general, stationed at the north gate of Jizhou. Liu Dazhi, seeing Liu Dazhi running in like this, Shen Zhuo was also shocked. Just when Shen Zhuo wanted to say something, Liu Dazhi was one step ahead of him and said anxiously:
"Sir, the Fengwu Army outside the city attacked fiercely. Our army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties. All the four gates in the southeast and northwest were in emergency, especially the south gate. The situation at the south gate was the most critical. Lao Sun, who was responsible for guarding the south gate, was killed by the Fengwu Army. The gunman shot him in the chest, and I don’t know whether he is alive or dead... The war is extremely urgent, my lord, please make up your mind quickly!"
After listening to Liu Dazhi's words and looking at his anxious look covered in blood, although he still couldn't understand why Fengwu Army didn't stay at home to celebrate the New Year and came out to attack him in the cold winter, Shen Zhuo still believed in Fengwu Army. The fact that it really came through.
Although he was drunk, Shen Zhuo was still a veteran on the battlefield after all. Although he was a little panicked because of the sudden incident, he still found a solution based on his years of marching experience. He rummaged through the boxes in the room and found his seal. , swishly handed it to Liu Dazhi and said:
"Dazhi, take my big seal now and summon all the young and old men in the city to bring weapons. Those who have machetes will use machetes, and those who don't have machetes will use poles. If that doesn't work, use kitchen knives!"
"In a word, everyone should go up the city wall to block the Fengwu army. In addition, send a few soldiers to disguise themselves and sneak out of the city to go to Yi Jing to ask for help from the eldest son... ········”
After listening to Shen Zhuo's instructions, the anxious Liu Dazhi immediately had a backbone, nodded heavily towards Shen Zhuo and said:
"Sir, I'll do it right away!"
After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry. Looking at Liu Dazhi's disappearing back, Shen Zhuo was completely frightened away from the drunkenness in his body. He thought for a while and then waved his hand, handed over his own soldiers, and then pressed The voice asked very seriously:
"You have clearly seen that the Fengwu Army has really come to more than 100,000 people. Is this Jizhou City really going to be undefendable?"
Although the soldiers listened to Shen Zhuo's words, they were just hearsay, but when faced with Shen Zhuo's questioning, of course he couldn't slap himself in the face and said with certainty:
"Sir, this is true. I have heard many people in the city say that the Fengwu Army outside is so dark that it is impossible to see the end. There must be more than 100,000 people, and their artillery and blunderbuss are very powerful. Sharp, our people couldn't stop them and they all died. They were all missing arms and legs. It was really miserable..."
Listening to the soldier's description, the expression on Shen Zhuo's face was uncertain. It turned red and black for a moment. After a slight hesitation, he ordered to the soldier:
"Now go and instruct your family to collect the gold and silver, and find some ordinary clothes. You must do it quickly, and you must not let others know. Do you understand?"
After following Shen Zhuo for so long, when the soldiers heard what Shen Zhuo said, they naturally understood that he was about to run away and nodded quickly and said:
"Sir, I know what to do, and I will definitely handle this matter for you!"
"Stop inking and go!"
"okay!"
After the soldiers left, Shen Zhuo's heart that had been beating "bang bang bang" gradually calmed down. After thinking for a long time, Shen Zhuo let out a long sigh with some resentment and helplessness... ···
Although he looked down on Ye Mingsheng very much and thought that this boy and his bullshit Fengwu Army were just a bunch of cowards, Shen Zhuo knew very well in his heart that this time he fell into the trap of Ye Mingsheng, even if it was the best He was able to escape from Jizhou City under such circumstances, and he was finished when he returned to Yijing. He could only hope that for the sake of his Shen Zhuo, who had been a front-runner to their old Zhao family for so many years, he could stay. His little life.
Just when Shen Zhuo was worried in his headquarters, Ma Zhongjun outside the south gate of Jizhou was looking at the south gate with a smile. Under his gaze, more and more soldiers of the First Division climbed up through the ladder. In the South Gate Tower and South Gate Wall, the resistance of the Yan Army became weaker and weaker, and instead, the shouts of killing by the Fengwu Army soldiers became increasingly deafening.
After a cup of tea, the south gate of Jizhou City slowly opened. Seeing this, Ma Zhongjun reminded the generals around him:
"You all have made a note to me that the Governor wants to capture Shen Zhuo alive, and no one is allowed to kill this old man. Do you understand me clearly?"
"Listen clearly!"
The generals replied loudly:
Ma Zhongjun nodded when he heard the words and then waved his hand. The tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the First Division behind him immediately scrambled and rushed towards Jizhou City, fearing that if they were too late, all the credit would be taken away by others... ·············
