Merry Xianggong Ximen Qing

Dong Cheng stood on the dilapidated city wall of Lingchuan County, looking down the city thoughtfully.

Yesterday, it was in this position that the magistrate of Lingchuan County uttered his last curses and shouts, and then jumped down.

It's a pity that his voice was barely noticed by the shouts of thousands of troops.

But Dong Cheng noticed.

Dong Cheng stared at the falling figure, waved the thirty-jin wind knife in his hand, and ordered the soldiers to launch the final charge.

Because he knew that once this person died, Lingchuan County would be his own.

It was this magistrate who seemed powerless, wielding an ordinary iron sword with difficulty with his thin arms, and encouraged the officers and soldiers defending the city with words to resist his attacks one after another.

It was this magistrate who blocked Dong Cheng outside the gate of Lingchuan County for three full days.

You know, there are less than 3000 people in the city who have not even trained, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

Although relying on this dilapidated city wall, Dong Cheng still admires this unknown magistrate from the bottom of his heart.

On the third day, messengers were sent from the city.

Dong Cheng ordered the soldiers to get out of the way secretly, blocked the messenger a few times before letting the messenger go.

The vast majority of people think that Dong Cheng, a fierce general who uses heavy weapons, must be of low level in terms of strategy.

What Niu Wenzhong valued was Dong Cheng's bravery, so he was sent to be the vanguard.

So not only Niu Wenzhong, but even Shen Ji and Geng Gong, the generals around him, had the same thoughts.

It wasn't until the moment Dong Cheng gave the order that Shen Ji and Geng Gong suddenly realized that they had misjudged the pioneer.

"The siege must leave gaps." Dong Cheng said at the time: "If we blindly siege, from the desperate magistrate down, the nerves of the defenders will collapse tightly, but if we let the messenger go, there will definitely be A slack."

"Only when the magistrate thinks he can't keep it, he will send a messenger; but once the messenger is sent, the magistrate thinks that his mission seems to have been completed."

For the first time, Shen Ji and Geng Gong saw a trace of cunning in Dong Cheng's thick eyebrows and big eyes, so, in addition to being surprised, they launched an attack that was not necessarily the largest scale, but it must be the most intense rhythm under Dong Cheng's command. attack.

Sure enough, this time it worked.

An army of [-] entered Lingchuan County. While Dong Cheng ordered to appease the people, he also issued another order.

"Regardless of surrender or not, those who have blocked our army's advance will be killed without mercy."

Shen Ji and Geng Gong trembled from the bottom of their hearts, the curse of killing and surrendering has existed for a long time, but this time, Dong Cheng ignored the curse and ordered the massacre of the soldiers who had surrendered.

The two looked at each other and acted decisively.

Dong Cheng stood at the spot where the magistrate jumped off, watching the scene thoughtfully from the city wall.

Almost 1000 people were forcibly taken outside the city walls and massacred!

Blood once again stained the land outside the city walls of Lingchuan County.

"The messenger will definitely bring reinforcements, and we are here to block their way." Dong Cheng looked at Shen Ji and Geng Gong who reported back, and said with unusual firmness: "We have 2 people, enough."

"Master Pioneer, I heard that the Song Dynasty had Gao Qiu as its marshal, and an army of 10 people attacked our dynasty, and Lingchuan was the first to bear the brunt." Shen Ji couldn't help pointing out the imminent danger: "We still give up on Lingchuan, and we will cooperate with the Privy Envoy. Let the troops gather and drive Gao Lian out of Gaizhou."

Dong Cheng glanced at Shen Ji coldly, and only said two words: "No!"

Immediately afterwards, Dong Cheng repeated his point of view: "2 people is enough. I let you execute those surrendered soldiers outside the city wall, in order to hit the spirit of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty."

Shen Ji and Geng Gong were speechless immediately, is this guy serious?

"Go down and prepare." Dong Cheng looked into the distance, and there was the direction of Weizhou: "I'm afraid that within five or seven days, the army of the Song Dynasty will arrive."

Master Niu Wenzhong has a desperate temperament, Tian Hu's subordinates he contributed the most, but he didn't expect Dong Cheng to be more fierce than Niu Wenzhong.

And it seems that what Dong Cheng said just now did not mean to order Pegasus to report to Niu Wenzhong at all.

Could it be that this guy is planning to crucify Gao Lian and the [-] troops right here?

Shen Ji and Geng Gong retreated alone, feeling that they were following a lunatic.

Maybe this is the real reason why Niu Wenzhong asked Dong Cheng to be the pioneer?

Song Bing arrived even faster than Dong Cheng expected. On the afternoon of the third day, Geng Gong's spies had already reported the news of Song Bing's arrival.

Soon, Geng Gong brought his spies to Dong Cheng to report the situation.

"How many people are there?" Dong Cheng held a piece of overcooked beef and put it in his mouth: "What is the banner?"

Most of the cultivated land near Lingchuan County had been abandoned, and the only end for those cattle was to be used as army rations.

The main reason is that Dong Cheng doesn't like pigs and sheep, but only loves beef.

In the farming era, this taste is indeed unique. Fortunately, Dong Cheng is not a farmer, but a pioneer.

"Returning to Master Pioneer, the number of people is probably between 1 and [-], and the banner is Chenzhou Bingdu Supervisor Wu." The spy seemed to hesitate a bit when he said this: "There is also a strange banner. , with the words Blowing Blood Soldier on it."

"The blood of fresh blood is not the snow of Baixue." The spy added on purpose.

"Huh? Bleeding?" Dong Cheng swallowed the beef in his mouth and rubbed his head: "Whose army is this? Check it out!"

Geng Gong then took out a pamphlet and flipped through it: "Yes... Wu Bingyi, the military commander of Chenzhou, blow blood..."

This pamphlet was dedicated to Tian Hu by Bai Ying, and it recorded the names of the garrisons, capital supervisors, and commanders of each army in the Song Dynasty, but Geng Gong searched through it three times from beginning to end, but still could not find any information about the "Blood-Blowing Soldiers".

"No? Could it be that this blood-blowing soldier team suddenly appeared?" Dong Cheng impatiently tapped the big bowl of beef with bamboo chopsticks: "Look for it again!"

Among Dong Cheng, Shen Ji, and Geng Gong, only Geng Gong could read and write, which is why the booklet was in Geng Gong's hands.

Geng Gong sweated and flipped through it twice, and finally found some connections from a certain page at the back.

"There is Ximen Qing here, whose name is Chuuxue, but it is not the blood of fresh blood, but the snow of Baixue."

"What does this person do? Which prefecture and which prefecture is he from? Metropolitan or command?" Dong Cheng continued to ask.

Geng Gong shook his head and said: "Neither, this person is from Qinghe County, and he is currently serving as the commander of the Imperial City Division."

"How many troops can a mere commander have?" Dong Cheng dropped the bamboo chopsticks and laughed dumbly: "The Imperial City Division is doing some shady things, and it's not okay to talk about war."

"It doesn't matter if the Song soldiers don't come to attack the city tomorrow, if they come, there will be only 1 people, let them go and never return."

...

...

"Why do you care about mere thieves?" Wu Bingyi, the superintendent of soldiers and horses in Chenzhou, laughed when he heard the spies report that the head of the city had been replaced with the banner of Tian Hu: "Tomorrow four o'clock will bury the pot for cooking, and five o'clock will set up camp to attack Lingchuan! "

Ximenqing has a different opinion: "Since the Taiwei sent us to check the situation in Lingchuan, the purpose has been achieved now, it is nothing more than to stick to the camp here and wait for the Taiwei's army; or withdraw to Hui County, and then make plans."

"Master Supervisor, don't blame me for talking too much." Wu Bingyi said with a smile: "Spouting intelligence, you can do what I can; fighting, I can do what you can. Now the credit is at your fingertips, and tomorrow you can rush into Lingchuan and take down the city with a bang. Why bother? "

"Rushing into the army will do nothing good." Ximen Qing frowned and said, "No matter what, please wait here and report to the Taiwei before making a decision."

Wu Bingyi promised to think about it again, so Ximenqing had no choice but to leave, and went back to his tent to discuss with the leaders of Liangshan.

Thunderbolt Qin Ming frowned immediately: "I'm afraid Wu Bingyi is determined to go his own way, and he doesn't take Ximen Brothers, the supervisor, seriously."

"If you want to change the second military prison, you will probably be greedy for meritorious service." The sick captain Chi Sunli explained the secret: "What credit can he have in Chenzhou? He was finally sent by Gao Lian alone to inspect Lingchuan The situation, this credit should not be in vain."

Ximen Qing pondered for a while, but still let Gu Shangjia Shiqian sneak into Lingchuan to spy on the enemy.

Shiqian went there in the middle of the night and came back almost five o'clock. He reported: "There are about [-] defenders in the city. The main general is Niu Wenzhong's vanguard Dong Cheng, and there are two generals Shen Ji and Geng Gong."

"2 people!" Ximen Qing was slightly surprised: "If Wu Bingyi goes to attack the city, I'm afraid he will suffer instead."

"There is another situation." Shi Qian frowned and said, "Then Dong Cheng ordered to kill the descendants, and dyed the land outside the city wall red."

Lu Zhi said deeply: "This is a way to wear down the vigor of our army, and Dong Cheng has a plan."

Ximen Qing was waiting to find Wu Bingyi, but he didn't expect to hear the neighing of men and horses as soon as he got out of the tent, and soldiers rushed out of the camp from all directions.

Lin Chong was taken aback, and grabbed a soldier to ask, the soldier said: "Wu Dujian ordered the fourth watch to cook, and the fifth watch to attack Lingchuan, and now it is the order to assemble."

After hearing what Lin Chong said, Ximen Qing hurriedly got on his horse and came to look for Wu Bingyi, but unexpectedly he dodged away on purpose.

When they got outside the camp, Wu Bingyi was seen from a distance in the firelight, neatly dressed, with a big halberd in his hand, giving a lecture.

Ximen Qing rode his horse and rushed to the front, shouting: "Wu Dujian, the enemy army has [-] people, don't take advantage of it and charge forward!"

Wu Bingyi, the Supervisor of the Army and Horses of Chenzhou, sneered when he heard this: "The rebels are all mobs. Even if there are one hundred thousand, our army counts one against ten, and it is still a tiger entering the flock! If the supervisor is afraid, just go back to sleep!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Bingyi waved his halberd in his hand, and 1 people drove to the city of Lingchuan together!

Seeing that Wu Bingyi refused to listen to dissuasion, Ximenqing returned to the tent with a long sigh and called everyone to discuss.

When dawn broke, Wu Bingyi had already laid out 1 horses under Lingchuan County, and circling the horses back and forth, he cursed: "Grass bandits and bandits, why don't you go out of the city and die?"

Dong Cheng, Shen Ji, and Geng Gong were fully clothed. When they went to the city wall to see Wu Bingyi showing off his might, he couldn't help laughing and said, "This is the army of the Song Dynasty? When I go out to battle, I will meet Wu Bingyi!"
