Poof!
When the scattered cavalry saw the fleeing refugees, their mouths showed ferocity. They first took out their bows and arrows and covered them with arrows. The arrows pierced the ragged bodies of the refugees, causing blood to splash.
Then these cavalrymen took a roundabout route, blocked and drove away the refugees, and brought them to the side of the army.
Soon, the black army arrived several miles outside Wanshou City.
"These cavalry are so powerful, as well as the infantry of Sun Ru's army. Their momentum looks more elite than that of Yuan Shu's army!"
Mu Chun sighed softly when he saw this scene.
Chen Da looked at the refugees who were randomly killed and driven away, with a trace of murderous intent in his eyes. He thought of the situation when he, Zhu Wu, and Yang Chun were defeated by Murong's cavalry.
What they can see can also be seen by Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui on the city wall.
"General, this army is difficult to deal with!"
Qiao Rui said worriedly.
Zhang Xun stared coldly at the enemy in the distance and said: "It doesn't matter, we have the city wall as a barrier. No matter how powerful Sun Ru is, what can they do? As long as I am here, they can't even think of breaking the city!"
Having been in this world for so long, Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui, as generals, naturally need to understand the situation of the surrounding forces.
They were in the Three Kingdoms era and didn't know about Sun Confucius in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties.
However, there are more than 100,000 people in Wanshou City, and there are always scholars from after the Tang Dynasty. These people have taken refuge in Zhang Xun and many powerful families in order to survive.
From their mouths, Zhang Xun knew who Sun Ru was.
Sun Ru in the history books was nothing more than a capricious and cruel villain. He killed his superiors, seized military power, ravaged Huainan, did not engage in production, and frequently used the people as food for the army.
Even Yuan Shu and Zhang Xun couldn't do such a cruel thing.
However, Sun Ru was indeed capable of wreaking havoc in Huainan. Historically, after he was defeated by Yang Xingmi, his soldiers were reorganized by Yang Xingmi and became the famous "Black Cloud Capital".
Based on the combat effectiveness of his soldiers alone, Sun Ru's troops were several levels higher than Yuan Shu's army.
After seeing the momentum of Sun Ru's soldiers and horses with his own eyes, Zhang Xun's heart became solemn. The previous contempt for Sun Ru was swept away.
"Where is Master Zhao now?"
Zhang Xun turned around and asked.
Qiao Rui's mouth twitched slightly and she said, "Master Zhao is visiting Duke Qiao..."
"Huh! You really don't know how to live or die! If this person wasn't good at building cities and making equipment, I would have killed this person long ago! How dare you harass the woman that Your Majesty likes!"
Zhang Xun's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he was very dissatisfied.
"Ask him to quickly lead people to seal up the unfinished parts of the city wall! Li Feng, take the new soldiers to take care of the city wall and bridges, and give you a thousand elites to go to the east gate..."
When Qiao Rui took the order and was about to leave, Zhang Xun stopped him.
He said in a meaningful way: "General Qiao, I heard that Mr. Qiao is an elder in your clan. You should persuade him carefully so that he does not ignore His Majesty's kindness!"
"This is Huaibei, not Jiangdong! The little overlord and Mizuro are all far away! Your Majesty has the final say here!"
Qiao Rui felt a little bitter and immediately said: "That's what the general said!"
Zhang Xun waved his hand and asked him to leave.
At this time, Zhang Xun continued to look at Sun Rujun in the distance, as if he was staring at the enemy general from several miles away.
Miles away.
In the midst of the army, an armored general rode on a horse, followed by more than a dozen generals. He also looked towards the city wall in front of him. This man's eyes flashed with cruelty, ruthlessness and greed from time to time.
He is the master of this army, Sun Ru, the military governor of Huainan in history.
He held the riding whip and casually nodded to a general next to him.
"Ma Yin, tell everyone about the situation in this city!"
The person named by Sun Ru was Ma Yin, who founded the Southern Chu regime during the Five Dynasties period.
He was originally a member of Sun Ru's tribe. Historically, after Sun Ru was defeated and killed, all the other generals and commanders took refuge in Yang Xingmi. Only he and Liu Jianfeng gathered the defeated troops and refused to surrender.
And he also wrote a letter requesting that a temple be built to offer sacrifices to Sun Ru...
Ma Yin was not the type of tycoon in the late Tang Dynasty who frequently killed his bosses to seize power. His rise to power was a coincidence and he did not have much ambition.
Therefore, in the world of China, after Sun Ru knew his fate in history, he valued Ma Yin, Liu Jianfeng and others very much, and was not afraid of Ma Yin just because he was a king.
If Wang Jing were here, he would be able to see through the insight technique that Ma Yin's luck is still higher than that of Sun Ru...
"Zhang Xun has five thousand soldiers and horses, and he recruited five thousand new soldiers not long ago... Wanshou City has not been completed yet. There are more than 100,000 soldiers in the city, as well as a large amount of food, grass and baggage. As long as we capture this city, we will have A foothold."
Ma Yin bowed his hands to everyone, and then introduced the information about Longevity City.
Sun Ru chuckled and said: "Yuan Shu! Everyone knows who this guy is, and even those who don't know should know it these days! This guy is just a waste, but he can actually accumulate such a big fortune, which is just an advantage for everyone!" "
"Capture Wanshou City, then Baize and Suining, and the land of Sizhou will be in my hands!"
"When the time comes, you will also be able to get promoted and make a fortune. Gold, silver, and beauty should be yours!"
Liu Jianfeng, another burly general next to him, chuckled.
"Jiedu, I heard that there are two stunning beauties in Wanshou City. If the city is destroyed, Jiedu will show everyone the difference between these beauties and ordinary women!"
Sun Ru suddenly laughed and said: "Okay! As long as we break the city, I will let you all see it!"
"Set up camp first!"
Sun Ru's prestige in the army was pretty good, and the core of his soldiers were elites who had fought countless battles since the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. With an order, all major generals immediately took orders.
This time he brought a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses, and they were all elites under his command.
Another part of the troops went north to Baize City to prevent Baize City from sending reinforcements.
Twenty thousand soldiers, supported by more than ten thousand civilians, quickly set up camp. When the camp was about to be completed, about ten thousand people approached from the southeast.
"Jiedu, Liu Zeqing is here!"
Ma Yin came to report.
At this time, Sun Ru had arrived at the military tent, and all the generals under his command were gathered together.
"This loser actually has the guts to come?"
Liu Jianfeng was a little surprised.
"Liu Zeqing's men are nothing but a mob. If he hadn't run fast and showed his obedience by sending gold and silver beauties to Jiedu, he would have sent troops to destroy him long ago! Jiedu asked him to bring troops here, how dare he not listen?"
A general in the camp said happily.
Sun Ru did not stand up, but just pointed at the person who spoke, "Zhang Ji, go and greet him, and let Liu Zeqing set up camp first and then come over to meet him!"
Ever since he knew that he was defeated and killed by Yang Xing in a secret attack on the camp due to negligence in the camp and lack of food and grass in history, Sun Ru attached great importance to the camp and food and grass.
Zhang Ji stood up and accepted the order.
A smile appeared on Sun Ru's face and he said with a smile: "We are all old soldiers. We should know the consequences of storming the city. Our brothers cannot be casually sacrificed. Now Liu Zeqing's men and horses are just acting as pawns to try Yuan Shujun's for us. Good quality!"
"Both are trash, look at the two trash, which one is more trashy!"
Liu Zeqing, one of the four towns in Jiangbei who had strong military self-respect in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, was also cunning and repeated, and his methods were vicious and sinister, but Liu Zeqing's ability was far inferior to that of Sun Ru.
Liu Zeqing was cruel to the common people and cruel to civilians. Once he faced strong soldiers, he would not dare to fight against them.
He is vicious internally and weak externally. He can be called a tyrant.
