The quiet night made Mo'er forget that she was at the center of the battlefield.
Guang Xiu dragged his tired body to Mo'er, took a wooden tray from the person behind him, and said, "Sister, this is a gift from my sister to you."
Mo'er forced a smile, lifted the cover on the tray, and saw a pair of phoenix crowns and Xia Pei, and her eyes couldn't help but heat up.
Guangxiu said with a smile: "Sister, I know you like to wear red clothes, but there are too many looters and burnt things in this city, and there is not even a decent red dress. Fortunately, sister found this set of clothes. Come, Try it."
Mo'er stretched out her hand, touched the red silk clothes, and said movingly: "Thank you, sister."
Guangxiu watched Mo'er change her clothes coolly, with tears in her eyes.
Mo'er had a Xia pei on her shoulders, and when she turned around, her embroidered red robe moved slightly. She was originally alluring, but now she looked even more charming. Guang Xiu personally put a phoenix crown on Mo'er's head and said, "Good sister, I'm going to give you a hand in marriage." .”
Mo'er held Guangxiu's hand, contentedly, and lightly opened her red lips: "It's a pity that I didn't find a good husband, otherwise I would definitely make my sister drunk."
Guangxiu wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said: "If you can, go to Kaifeng. Although Zhu Youhuan betrayed his father and lost the power and status of King Zhou, he is indeed a person worth entrusting to him. He is The way you show affection makes even my sister jealous."
Mo'er felt a little bitter. Kaifeng is in Henan, which is east of Shandong. Thousands of miles away, there is a large army besieging the city. It is impossible to even think about leaving, and tonight is the last battle.
If you win, you can break the situation and survive.
Failure means death.
As for Zhu Youhuo, that idiot, that's all, just think that I failed him.
Guangxiu took out a brocade bag, put it on Mo'er's waist, and solemnly told her: "You must live."
Mo'er solemnly said to Guangxiu: "Sister, you should also take care of yourself. If something cannot be done, you must protect yourself."
Guangxiu nodded confidently and said: "Don't worry, the one who can kill me in the world is not Geng Bingwen! I'm going to prepare, and so are you. You have to remember, we - we are sisters."
Mo'er looked at Guangxiu's sincere eyes and whispered: "Sister."
Guangxiu turned around and left, summoned the First Heavenly King and the Fourth Heavenly King at the door, gave an order, and then left.
outside the city.
Geng Bingwen did not rest, but discussed countermeasures with Ning Zhong, Liu Sui and others. Although the White Lotus Sect in the city was a trapped beast, there was a saying that a trapped beast still fights. These people would not be captured without mercy.
Ning Zhong pointed to the direction of Yanmen in Shanghai on the map and said: "The White Lotus Sect has been fighting at a disadvantage for many days. They are unable to break through our army's defense line and their morale is low. It won't be long before they will flee eastward. Once they leave the city, it will be theirs." The time of destruction!”
Liu Sui agreed with Ning Zhong's view. The reason why the White Lotus Sect has been able to persist for so long is just because they occupy Qingzhou City and have the advantage of the city. The opponents of the army will definitely be completely annihilated if they lose the city.
Geng Bingwen looked at the map and said solemnly: "Although the White Lotus cultists are not good at fighting, they have the ambition to fight to the death and are fearless in death. They must not be underestimated. Now as long as we surround them without attacking, block their way out, and avoid their sharp edges, we will not be out for half a month. , Qingzhou City will surely surrender without a fight. During this period, you must stabilize your military morale and make no mistakes."
"Take orders."
All the generals agreed in unison.
Pang Huan hurriedly walked in and reported: "Geng Dusi, something strange happened in the city. The White Lotus followers gathered at Haiyan Gate, fearing that someone might take action."
Geng Bingwen's eyes lit up. He didn't expect the White Lotus Sect to be so unbearable. Would they run away now?
"Let's go and have a look!"
Geng Bingwen led the generals out of the tent, climbed to the temporary high-rise building, and took out a telescope to look. As expected, there were torches at the east gate of Qingzhou City, and it seemed that a large number of believers had gathered. On the other hand, there was no movement at the other gates.
"The White Lotus cultists are still a mob after all, and they will flee after being defeated. Ning Zhong, Liu Sui, and Qi Bin, each of you with five thousand soldiers, follow and pursue them, and be sure to annihilate them!"
Geng Bingwen issued the military order, but felt it was inappropriate and added: "Once the war breaks out, other sergeants can take the opportunity to board the city and seize it!"
"As commanded."
Ning Zhong, Liu Sui and others took the order and left one after another.
Tang Buping watched the Ming army constantly mobilizing and preparing to attack the city, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. He took the telescope from Pang Huan, looked at Qingzhou City in the night, frowned and said: "Judging from the battles in recent days, although the White Lotus Sect has You have failed repeatedly, but you haven’t lost anything at all, especially your combat power. Could this be a trap?”
Geng Bingwen laughed and said disdainfully: "The lookout sentries have reported many times in the past few days, and with telescopes to peer into the distance, they can clearly see that the city is close to running out of food. I thought they could hold on for a few more days, but now it seems that they can only Survive until tonight. How can a group of people who are about to starve to death have any ability to plot a conspiracy?"
Tang Buping frowned and said: "If they leave the East City Gate and go straight to Juyangshui, and cross there forcefully, even if we can catch up..."
Geng Bingwen interrupted Tang Buping and asked, "How did they get to Juyangshui?"
Tang Buping was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
Although King Qi's rebellion did not take away a large number of horses, the people in the city killed many horses in order to eat. Even if there were still horses in the city at this time, the number would not be too many.
The most important thing is that the White Lotus cultists are mainly ordinary people. They cannot ride horses and can only walk.
How could two legs run to the huge ocean water dozens of miles away? It would take an hour at the fastest. In an hour, the Ming army would chase and kill them even if they were riding donkeys.
This worry is completely unnecessary.
"Get ready for battle."
Geng Bingwen believed in his own judgment.
Half an hour later, the Haiyan Gate in Qingzhou City slowly opened.
Guangxiu led nearly a hundred elites including the Five Heavenly Kings, the Five Vajras, and the Seven Protectors to ride out of the city. Behind him were more than 20,000 followers. The procession was very long, but there was no loud noise.
Looking back and taking a deep look at Qingzhou City, Guangxiu bit his lips and said loudly: "Go forward quickly. As long as we reach Juyangshui, victory will definitely belong to our White Lotus Sect. By then, you will no longer be hungry! Let's go!"
The team moved quickly for one simple reason: to eat.
Geng Bingwen was still a cautious person after all. After Guangxiu led his people to leave Qingzhou City, he kept observing the movements of Qingzhou City. Seeing that there was no abnormality in the city, he ordered: "Fire!"
Three gunshots tore through the quiet night sky.
This is the signal to attack!
Ning Zhong, Liu Sui, and Qi Bin each led their elite troops to leave their headquarters and pursue the Bailian sect members who had left Haiyan Clan. The Ming army that was originally stationed also began to leave its defensive position. A group of sergeants carried ladders and logs, and a group of sergeants waved steel knives and shouted to charge. However, there was no movement on the city wall.
Whoever enters the city first will do a great job!
This is the rule for every siege battle. Even if the opposite side is an empty city, whoever climbs the city first will have made a great contribution, and will be promoted and rewarded after the war.
Because Qingzhou City did not resist at all, the Ming army dispersed one after another in order to grab the credit. Regardless of their formation, they all ran to the base of the city wall. The sergeants who originally carried the wood also lost the wood. It was better to climb the wall than to hit it. The door is fast...
Geng Bingwen couldn't help but feel happy when he saw a group of soldiers approaching the crenellations of the city wall, but there was no movement in Qingzhou City.
But almost at the same time, the south and north gates of Qingzhou City were opened, and a group of White Lotus cultists who were not afraid of death rushed out. The Ming army was climbing the city wall at this time. Who would have expected that the White Lotus cultists would take the initiative to open the city gate. I'm in a dilemma, should I climb the wall or jump off?
Just when the Ming army hesitated, the White Lotus cultists began to concentrate their forces and separately encircled and suppressed the Ming army.
When Geng Bingwen heard the news, he couldn't help but be anxious. He quickly sent soldiers to mobilize the reserve army to support the south gate and north gate of Qingzhou respectively. While the battle between the south and north gates was in full swing, the west gate of Qingzhou City, the Daizong Gate, opened. Mo'er personally led a small number of cavalry and 8,000 main troops to rush out in one fell swoop.
More than 1,000 people rushed to the northwest, more than 2,000 people rushed to Geng Bingwen's camp due west, and the remaining 5,000 people, led by Mo'er, headed straight to the southwest!
Such a scattered and chaotic style of play gave Geng Bingwen a headache.
The White Lotus Sect is dispersed, and its own troops are also dispersed. In this case, if you cannot judge the enemy's true intention and main attack direction, you may fall into a passive situation, or even allow it to escape.
"Order all parties to defend and never let anyone go!"
Geng Bingwen roared.
If the bandit leader of the White Lotus Sect is allowed to escape, it will not only be a shame for himself! Tang Buping and Pang Huan from the Security Bureau have always been here, not only to "supervise the army", but also for the two women in the city!
I heard that this is the person who has been ordered to die by the emperor and must be captured alive! It can be said that even if the entire Qingzhou City is destroyed, these two women must be brought to the capital.
But now, things have changed.
The White Lotus cultists used a team to leave the city as bait, dispersed in four directions and began to fight and flee. However, in order to pursue and capture the city, they made a fatal mistake, which caused a flaw in the military formation!
"It must be blocked!"
Geng Bingwen ignored the danger and decided to personally lead his troops to stabilize the war situation.
Tang Buping was also very anxious. What is known now is that Guangxiu walked out of Haiyan Gate and headed towards Juyangshui. Pang Huan had already led some people from the Security Bureau to pursue the case.
But the other bandit leader, Mo'er, has not yet appeared, or in other words, she has already appeared, but he has not seen her yet in the darkness!
Deputy Qianhu Liu Ping of the Shandong Security Bureau was supervising the defense in the southwest of Qingzhou City when he suddenly heard the sound of galloping horse hooves, and then heard the sergeant shouting "enemy attack" loudly, and the sound of crossbows sounded immediately.
Liu Ping looked through the not-so-bright starlight and saw a woman in red leading the way, with two tough men guarding her, and thousands of White Lotus followers behind her!
"not good!"
Liu Ping felt a little cold sweat on his forehead. Because of Geng Bingwen's maneuvers, there were only more than a thousand Ming troops left in the southwest of the handle, and they were unable to withstand such a fierce charge!
When a ray of fire flew past and reflected that beautiful face, Liu Ping shuddered and shouted loudly: "Fight to the death!"
