Luo Feng suddenly remembered: "Hahaha, I thought he was joking. He actually took his wife and children out to play, and his life was more comfortable than ours."
"Otherwise, his title as a bastard would not be worthy of him." Tuoba Xiangchang said.
Jiang Yuxuan also smiled and said: "Captain Zhang does not want fame and does not care about political affairs, but he will never be confused about important matters. He is someone the city lord can trust and rely on."
"Hahaha, you have seen through all these advantages of Xuli." Luo Feng said: "In this case, leave the matter of attacking Tongjia City to Murong."
"Captain Murong has strong fighting ability and a stable personality, so he can take on this responsibility." Jiang Yuxuan said.
Soon, Murong Yi arrived at Luo Feng's office. After meeting everyone, he asked: "City Lord, why are you calling me here so urgently?"
Luo Feng pointed at the map hanging on the wall and said, "Are you sure you can win Tongjia City?"
Luo Feng said it casually, and Murong Yi said excitedly: "That's great, I've wanted to fight for a long time."
"How many troops are needed?" Luo Feng asked.
Murong Yi lowered his head and calculated in his mind, and said: "Twenty thousand people."
The combined strength of the two cities of Sesha and Angke is only about 30,000, and the deployment of 20,000 troops is already the limit.
Luo Feng hesitated and said, "Tongjia City only has more than 10,000 troops. If you want 20,000, is it too much?"
"The more, the better." Murong Yi said: "City Lord, if you have fewer troops, you will definitely fight a bloody battle. In the end, the casualties will increase, and it will be time-consuming and consume more resources. In the end, you may not be able to eliminate Ruan Yuting."
"Give you 20,000 troops, when can we capture Tongjia City?" Luo Feng asked.
"Within a week." Murong Yi replied with an affirmative tone.
Seeing Murong Yi's confidence, Luo Feng said, "Okay, I'll give you an army of 20,000, and you can choose any hero you like."
"Yes, City Lord." Murong Yi accepted the order.
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier quietly ran to Prime Minister Tuoba, leaned into Prime Minister Tuoba's ear, said a few words and then exited the office.
After hearing this, Prime Minister Tuoba immediately said: "City Lord, I have just received news that He Liang, the lord of Mudi City in the north, attacked Chen Zishu's Tiya City secretly, but was defeated by Chen Zishu. He suffered heavy losses. His subordinate Kong Sen was also shot to death by Chen Zishu. , is now escaping back to Mudi City."
Zhang Xinyi heard that Uncle Chen Zishu had won again, and said with a straight face: "Since the man named Chen lost the Xuanming Fire Pattern Spear, his luck has become very good."
"His combat power cannot be underestimated," Luo Feng said.
Jiang Yuxuan said: "If He Liang could unite with surrounding forces earlier and expand himself, he might be able to fight against Chen Zishu, but now he will be annexed by Chen Zishu sooner or later."
"Uncle Chen Zi is really cheap. He gained more cities in vain." Zhang Xinyi said somewhat unconvinced.
Luo Feng said: "It's too far away and we can't control it. Let's take Tongjia City first."
After Luo Feng gave the order, Murong Yi went to prepare.
He Liang had just been defeated, and the army had no fighting spirit. It dragged its weapons feebly, carried its only remaining resources, and walked toward Mudic City in embarrassment with heavy steps.
It was getting dark, and the camp had been captured by Chen Zishu's army in the battle. He Liang could only say: "Everyone, go to the open space over there to rest. The three units will be on duty in the first half of the night, and the four units will be on duty in the second half of the night."
After receiving He Liang's order, the chaotic army began to move to the open space on the roadside. One by one, they threw their weapons on the ground and sat down on the ground. Some leaned on their backs, and some lay down to rest.
Accompanied by Lu Guoming and others, He Liang walked among the troops.
Looking at the weak army, He Liang said with hatred: "That Uncle Chen, when I reorganize the army, I will definitely seize all his territory."
"City Lord, Flag Commander Kong is also dead. We don't have a flag commander anymore." Lu Guoming said.
"Whoever says no, it's you." He Liang said.
Hearing that he was raising the flag, Lu Guoming was secretly happy, and then said: "Thank you, City Lord."
He Liang retreated in defeat, and Chen Zishu followed leisurely with his army.
Hearing that He Liang was resting in front, Chen Zishu also ordered to camp on the spot.
After the tents were raised one by one, Zhu Baotong walked into Chen Zishu's tent and said: "Lord, just now the Beigong flag commander sent news that he has arrived near Mudi City and can attack the city tomorrow."
When Chen Zishu heard the news, he laughed happily: "Hahaha, okay, when Mu Di City is captured, you and Beigong Jueji will be rewarded with the highest military merit."
As Chen Zishu spoke, his tone changed, and he continued: "But you are already a Hongguan, and Beigong is also the flag commander. They have the highest official positions. I can only reward you with houses and land."
Houses and land are resources and wealth. This is what a life-long struggle is for. I wish Bao Tong was happy and said, "Thank you, Lord. It's all part of your job. Whether you grant a reward or not is what you should do."
Uncle Chen Zishu was happy when he heard this: "That's right, but I can't treat you badly, hahaha..."
The two chatted for a while and then fell asleep. Before he knew it, it was getting dark, and Chen Zishu started to work hard and immediately called the guards.
"What time is it? What's the news from He Liang?"
"Lord, He Liangjun is still resting where he is."
He Liangjun's movements were really slow, so Chen Zishu felt relieved and said: "Quickly go and send the order, the whole army will break out of camp and pursue He Liang."
"yes."
He Liang was leaning against a big tree, his back was sore from sleeping, and he struggled to stand up with his feet on the ground. He patted his back with both hands to loosen his muscles and bones.
"Report, City Lord, there is news from the city. The traces of Lord Beigong have arrived at the city and are preparing to attack the city."
After hearing the news, He Liang stopped and froze: "It's over, it's over now."
Lu Guoming happened to come over. After learning about the situation, he said: "City Lord, I will bring two battalions of troops to support. I will hold on until the City Lord arrives."
"Okay, go quickly." He Liang said hurriedly.
Lu Guoming immediately called two battalion commanders and rushed to Mudi City with two battalions of troops.
Under the city, Beigong Jueji led his army to violently attack the city.
There are no heroes in Mudi City, only two to three thousand troops guarding the city gate.
Almost all the archers on the city tower were killed under the attack of the archers led by Beigong Jueji. The remaining archers saw that Beigong Jueji was too powerful and did not dare to stay on the city tower. They bent down and walked along. Protect the wall and run down the tower.
After clearing the archers on the tower, Beigong Jueji ordered the archers to shoot through the tower.
Groups of archers quickly formed formations outside the city wall. Arrows were placed on the bow strings and pointed at the sky above the city tower. With a release of their fingers, batches of arrows flew over the city tower and shot into the city.
He Liangjun in the city saw arrows falling from the sky and hurriedly dodged around.
In the city gate cave, the troops in front, supported by Beigong Jueji's long-range attack, broke through He Liangjun's resistance, quickly rushed to the square, and killed all around.
Beigong Jueji was about to enter the city with his army. When he heard someone coming to kill him from behind, he hurriedly turned around and rushed to the rear.
After looking around, I found a hero leading his army to kill everyone. The rear army was caught off guard and was beaten into panic.
