Water Margin begins as a captain in Yanggu County

Chapter 178 Tong Guan’s army was defeated, Tong Guan’s army was defeated!
After thinking for a long time, Lou Minzhong slowly replied: "This matter cannot be believed..."

Fang Tianding immediately asked: "Why can't we believe it? If the government troops in the north and south really have a grudge and are scheming against each other, wouldn't that be a good thing for defending the city?"

Lou Minzhong said slowly: "Your Highness, this matter can be divided into two aspects. First, this matter is most likely a trick of the officials, attacking the city from both sides, one side is attacking fiercely, and the other side is not moving. There is also such a letter, which is inevitably for a purpose, to let us mobilize all the elite troops to the south, so that it will be convenient for the north to attack and break the city.

Secondly, even if this is true, what is the North's intention? It has never been to give us a chance to survive, but to let us transfer our elite troops to the south, creating a situation where the North City is empty. The purpose is still to attack the city. Since this is the plan, what difference does it make whether you believe it or not?"

Fang Tianding thought about it after hearing this and realized that it was true. Whether he believed it or not, it was actually the same thing.

He came to ask: "Could it be that the government troops broke into the city not in the south, but in the north?"

After hearing this, Lou Minzhong was stunned. It seemed that the matter had suddenly become more troublesome?

The government troops in the north have always seemed to have few elite troops and few weapons. Normally, they are not as active as the south in digging trenches and laying out defenses. Isn't this just a strategy to hide their shortcomings?
Is the real purpose to make the people in the city relax their guard against them, focus on the defense of the South City and ignore the North City?

In this way, it would be better to "strike the north while making a noise in the south" and defeat them with one strike?

Everything can only be guessed. If I really think about it, if this is really the strategy, then the person who came up with it must be very smart.

Just thinking about it makes me shudder!

Lou Minzhong came over immediately and said, "We should strengthen the defenses in the north. Perhaps one thing is true. The day for attacking the city will be the 23rd of the first lunar month."

Hearing Lou Minzhong's words, Fang Tianding cursed: "Good thief, I saw through your plan. Fortunately, you can't hide it from me, so I can see through it! I have many soldiers, and I am not afraid of his conspiracy!"

"On the 23rd of the first lunar month, which is the day after tomorrow, we should prepare carefully and be on guard. By then, reinforcements will surely arrive, and the siege of Hangzhou will surely be lifted the day after tomorrow!"

Lou Min felt a little excited. Once the siege of Hangzhou was lifted, everything would be very different in Yongle's country. When the government troops retreated, he would just follow them and kill them.

Once the government troops retreated, their morale would be even more weakened. If they immediately sent troops north, they would be unstoppable. Suzhou, Huzhou and Jiangnan would be no problem, and even crossing the Yangtze River would be a simple and easy matter. The Song court has always been very slow to react. If the marching speed was faster...

Perhaps, it is not impossible to surround Bian Jing with troops.

Once the troops surround Bian Jing, the world will be turned upside down, the sacred tripod will be replaced, and great things will be accomplished!
Thinking of this, Lou Minzhong even became a little excited, and just turned to look outside the South City.

The sky had already darkened, but under the bright moonlight, the tall black shadows in the distance looked like monsters with bared fangs and claws in the night, appearing somewhat hideous and terrifying.

Lou Minzhong felt as if his heart suddenly tightened, and all his expectations just now came to an abrupt end.

Prince Fang Tianding had already started walking and was saying, "As long as reinforcements arrive during the siege, the government troops will surely be frustrated."

Lou Minzhong turned around and followed them down the city wall, nodding and saying, "Yes..."

Yeah...isn't it?
Lou Min felt a little uneasy. There were some things she was afraid to think about. What was she thinking about?

I thought about how Su Wu's 10,000 troops repeatedly defeated the so-called 300,000-man army. I also heard the details of the battlefield told by the two remaining flying generals. Su Wu's cavalry galloped freely, charged into the battle array, and entered the empty space...

Feeling that Lou Minzhong seemed to be thinking about something, Fang Tianding suddenly asked: "What is the Prime Minister thinking about?"

Lou Minzhong waved his hand: "I'm not thinking about anything, just random thoughts..."

But after he finished speaking, Lou Minzhong thought in another direction. The reinforcements must be the best troops under the Holy Lord. At least two of the four marshals will come, the Grand Marshal of National Defense Si Xingfang and the Grand Marshal of National Defense Li Tianrun. They are both extraordinary people and have courage that no one can match.

They have countless generals under their command, so they won't be as vulnerable as Lu Shinang before them. They must be extremely powerful...

Thinking of this, Lou Minzhong's uneasy mood finally became less anxious.

For such a large-scale siege, Su Wu had to prepare so many things, including filling the moat and the trench he had dug. The large military equipment had almost been built, and he also needed to prepare more small military equipment, especially simple wooden shields, as many as he could.

The communication of details between departments should be as detailed as possible.

War has always been a matter of management.

The entire army, from top to bottom, was gearing up for battle. Every soldier was checking his personal equipment. The cavalrymen were repeatedly checking their horses, feeding them more grain, and soothing their necks more...

Early in the morning of the third day, the twenty-third day of the first lunar month in the third year of Xuanhe in the Great Song Dynasty.

The temperature in the south of the Yangtze River has warmed up, but it is still a bit chilly.

Before daybreak, the soldiers had already eaten half their breakfast and began to line up outside the camp.

The black banner rose and fell in the morning mist, the men and horses exhaled white air gently, and the iron armor made a soft sound on their nimble bodies, but it was like the muffled thunder before a rainstorm.

The heavily armored soldiers of the front army smashed their simple oar shields heavily into the mud. The shield surface was only wood color, but when the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through, it shone with golden light.

Seven or eight strong horses were harnessed to the front of thirty or forty towering ladder cars, and the iron-clad wooden wheels were deeply buried in the mud. The auxiliary soldiers also brought a cart of small wooden boards, which were lined up in front of the iron wheels.

As soon as the ladder truck really starts moving, the wooden boards will continue to move forward, like the rails of the ladder truck, and will be arranged under the city wall. If there were no wooden boards to serve as "rails", the ladder truck would inevitably be stuck in the mud and unable to move forward. Needless to say, this process is very cumbersome.

Next to each trebuchet, there were people busy working. The trebuchet was a huge lever with a huge wooden frame on one side. The wooden frame was first filled with stones weighing several thousand pounds.

Dozens of people worked together to pull hard from the other side of the wooden pole, and used a lever to pry the large wooden frame on the opposite side to a higher place. They immediately used a rope to fix the end that everyone was pulling on to the ground. At the end of the lever at this end, there was a large net bag, and large stones weighing dozens of kilograms were placed on the net bag.

In this way, the shot is ready, and as long as the rope is cut, the stone weighing thousands of pounds will be thrown far away through the lever, pushing the stone weighing dozens of pounds at the other end.

The principle is not complicated, but the realization of this project is already the highest representative of the technical skills of this era.

To string the crossbow, a capstan is needed. One end of the rope is connected to the bowstring, and the other end is connected to the capstan. Only by turning the capstan with a creaking sound can the bowstring be tightened. After it is tightened, the spear-like arrow can be released.

Even if such arrows were shot at the city wall, they would be nailed on the wall. If there were a few nimble and agile soldiers, they could even use the arrows nailed on the wall as stairs to climb up...

Everything is busy.

The heavy cavalry wore armor, but their weapons were very simple, an excellent spear in their hands and an excellent long sword at their waist.

The armor of the light cavalry is not that complicated, but their weapons are much more complicated. There is a long hook on the side of the horse, with a long spear placed horizontally and fixed. They carry a longbow on their bodies, a quiver and quiver on the left waist, and a long sword on the right waist.

The light and heavy cavalry were all covered with clanging sounds.

The big drums were moved onto the drum stands one by one, and the men waiting to beat the drums lined up in a long row. When the battle started, the drum beats were like rain, and the men's bulging muscles could not hold on for long before they had to be replaced.

Many people had seats on the stage.

Under the general's platform, a team of messengers had small flags on their backs, ready to run non-stop as soon as the general gave the order.

Tong Guan, the envoy of the Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty and the envoy of the four routes, sat upright on the general's platform with a very serious expression and a majestic posture.

Liu Yanqing, the commander-in-chief of the Fuyan Road army, also went up to the general's platform, but he did not sit upright. He just looked around, walked back and forth, spoke countless words, and issued military orders one by one in an orderly manner.

Su Wu was also on the general's platform. He didn't care about the battle array and the siege. He was just waiting for the news brought back by the cavalry.

The sky was already bright, and the troops had already lined up, stretching as far as the eye could see. The armor was shining brightly, and the entire army was silent, with only a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

On the top of the city wall, Crown Prince Fang Tianding glanced at the murderous army for a few times, but didn't look at them any more. He just moved his gaze to the distance.

Even though his heart was beating wildly, he really didn't want to look at the army in front of him. He could even imagine that the government troops were like ants clinging to the outside of the city wall and on the top of the city wall, fighting everywhere. Perhaps this was also a precarious situation.

But we can only look into the distance, where there is hope. As long as reinforcements appear there, no matter how precarious the situation is, everything will be solved.

Still looking into the distance...

It will come, it will definitely come, that’s what we planned beforehand…

Lou Minzhong was different. He kept his eyes on the troops arrayed in front of him, while at the same time he kept looking up to see the end of the distant field of vision...

On top of the city wall, the men carried up the last batch of rolling logs. The tung oil boiling in the pot was emitting smoke that was really unpleasant and choking.

The golden juice smelled extremely fishy, ​​but there were still men carrying it up to the top of the city wall, some of it was being cooked, some of it was not yet cooked...

The general's armor is emitting the golden light of the morning sun.

Everything had been prepared for a long time, and seemed to be prepared properly.

Nanli Grand Marshal Shi Bao was still riding his horse around on the city wall. The entire city wall was already very crowded, and he was the only one riding back and forth, shouting, encouraging, and instructing everywhere.

Below the city walls, there are countless men, about two or three hundred thousand soldiers. The number is not very clear, perhaps one hundred and eighty or ninety thousand, or perhaps two hundred and eighty or ninety thousand. Even to this day, there is still no real and clear statistics on how many bandit troops are in this city.

Even the vast majority of the bandit army could not be counted. When there were dozens, there were hundreds, and when there were hundreds, there were thousands. Many people could not be counted at all.

Even if they could count a hundred or two hundred, no one could read to remember, let alone add and subtract...

People like Lou Minzhong are a minority among the minority in this army, and it is impossible to count them one by one.

Even though he was the crown prince, he had not really read many books and could only read and write.

Of course, only people like this would allow Fang La, who was born in a humble family and had not received much education, to deceive them...

Even to this day, Fang La has not yet compiled a complete doctrine of his own. If he had been a scholar, the Yongle Empire would have been very different.

Fortunately, people like Lou Minzhong are quite capable. At least, they are doing the city defense in an orderly manner, which also shows his organizational ability.

Suddenly, a drum sounded, resounding under the sky, breaking the tranquility of the cold morning!

Then, the drumbeats gradually became louder.

Click, click, click. It's the armor moving.

The whips were raised, the urging was raised, the huge ladder truck was pulled by horses in front and pushed by people in the back, and in the middle, people kept taking wooden boards to pad the mud under the iron-clad wheels...

Just let the wheels move forward, then move the wooden board at the back to the front for padding.

Not long after they walked, the crossbows began to roar, and long spears began to be fired at the top of the city wall one after another.

The cart was moving, people were shouting "hey hey hey", and the people inside the cart were pushing it step by step.

There were also armored soldiers walking in front, holding up large wooden shields, covering themselves and the crossbow-wielding warriors behind them. The divine arm bow should be closer before roaring, while ordinary bows and crossbows need to be closer and closer to be effective.

It is to suppress the counterattack force on the city wall!
The catapult finally made a creaking sound, as if the long and thick wooden pole was about to break after one launch. Fortunately, it did not break. The huge stone cut through the sky. Dozens of people immediately gathered around and were busy, waiting for the second launch.

Everything is complicated to the extreme!
It seems that the people of China are born to be good at such huge projects.

This kind of war project has been going on in this land of China for thousands of years...

Every time, it's more or less the same.

Liu Yanqing, one of the organizers of this huge project, was furious on the platform. Whenever he found a place that was not done well, he would yell and scold, and urge his soldiers to run and spread the scolding there.

I just want to ask, why did that ladder truck move slower than the others? Why?
Come without reasons, don't listen to reasons, go faster, go faster!
I just want to ask, why is Xiandeng so anxious to rush forward? Don't be anxious! He was still anxious. No matter how much he said, it was too late. He could no longer command.

I just want to ask, why does the Hedong army seem to be a little more chaotic than other places? Guan Sheng of Hedong is an incompetent general. He is usually lazy and incompetent in managing the army!
I just want to ask, Wang Yuan of Yanzhou, how come there is a gap between the sword, shield and crossbow? Incompetent, an incompetent general!
But he couldn't see that Wang Yuan was also shouting in front of his own army.

Yao Pingzhong, you bastard, only knows how to boast. When the cart got stuck and could hardly move, he didn't even think of sending more people to help push it!
It seems like there are problems everywhere...

But... everything is progressing in an orderly manner.

The trenches had been passed, the moats had been passed, and the endless army was approaching the city walls.

On the city wall, there was even more chaos with shouting and yelling. No matter how the boulders were thrown and the arrows were shot, the arrows shot down from the top of the city still fell like rain, a black mass coming straight down towards the city.

As soon as the long ladder was hooked up to the city wall, the armored soldiers coming out of the cart were immediately hit by countless wooden planks and rolling stones.

There were wailings on the city wall and casualties everywhere below the city wall.

The urging voice was like a death call: "Climb up, climb up quickly!"

The ladder truck arrived a little late, and after a loud bang, it stayed close to the city wall. Countless people climbed up bravely. Wang Xun was the first to climb up. He was the most courageous. It was his second time, and he was risking his life even more.

Just like before, the boiling kerosene was burning, but he still went forward in the fire. People were jumping one after another, and they also prepared water buckets. People who were climbing up one after another carried the water buckets and went up. With a hissing sound, white steam rose, and they threw the water buckets down first, and then jumped to the top of the city again.

Under the ladder truck, there was also the voice of urging for life. Wang Bing urged again and again: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Even after being urged several times, Wang Bin himself got into the car and quickly got on. His son was on the top. He was never a coward. This time, he didn't care about life or death. He would fight bravely and win the battle.

Just to show the bravery and courage of the people from Jiangnan, Liangzhe and Wuzhou!
It will definitely let all the powerful armies in the world know, and let all the people in the world know, that Wuzhou is the bravest city in the world!

It was boiling, as if the entire huge city of Hangzhou was boiling suddenly. There were three or four hundred thousand people in the city, but perhaps only half of them were still alive...

The sound of fighting and shouting seemed to cover half of the city. Countless trembling Hangzhou residents put their ears close to the doors and windows, listening with their ears tilted. They were excited but also terrified.

It seems like it is waiting for a kind of liberation from fate, and it seems like it is also waiting for the final judgment of fate!

There were even stray arrows flying over the city walls, piercing the tiled roofs, and spear-like arrows nailing into the house, but he didn't feel scared. He had been in a crisis of uncertainty for too long, perhaps he was numb, as if at this moment, death would be good...

I really want to die, but I have an inexplicable desire to live. I just hope that the government troops can come in soon. If they come in... that would be a relief from everything... I don't know if it's too much to hope for...

In troubled times, human lives are like duckweed in the rain, and they are never decided by oneself...

People like Shi Bao, Wang Ren, Su Ting, Mao Di, and Tang Fengshi, who killed government troops one after another on the four critical city walls, did not seem so great.

Be it Wang Xun, Yao Pingzhong, Guan Sheng, Hao Siwen, Xuan Zan... they climbed and charged one by one, but they were just a drop in the ocean. As long as they fought bravely... On the general's platform, Liu Yanqing finally stopped shouting and cursing.

Su Wu had already stood up and was looking from afar, standing there like a statue.

Tong Guan actually stood up as well, walked to the edge of the general's platform, stood next to Su Wu, and talked about how knowledgeable he was about military affairs and how many battles he had fought in. But in fact, in his 66 years of life, how could he have ever seen such a grand scene?
For these three people, it was actually the first time for them to get married here.

All the strategies, all the plots, all the clever ideas, at this moment, all seem pale and powerless!
The only sound of the melody at this moment is the wailing of blood and fire, the collision of steel.

A knight galloped to the general platform, bowed, and shouted: "Commander Wu of the Xianzhen Camp, I sent a humble man to challenge you to a fight!"

Su Wu raised his hand and waved: "No!"

The knight galloped away!

However, Su Wu suddenly found himself a little excited. He glanced at Liu Yanqing and thought that it was Liu Yanqing who should give this order!
Liu Yanqing also looked at Su Wu and nodded: "The time is not right yet."

No one sat down on the platform anymore, be it Du Yuhou, the military advisor, or even editor Cheng Hao, everyone stood on the edge of the platform, gazing from afar.

Cheng Hao's face turned even paler as he watched an iron armor fall from the several-meter-high city wall and hit the ground heavily. He felt as if his heart was tightly grasped by a hand and stopped beating for a moment.

I just realized that this is fighting, this is war.

How can this be a place for people? From birth to adulthood, a person spends more than ten or twenty years eating one meal at a time, earning one meal at a time...

But he died so easily...

That wailing seemed to fill my ears. Even if I closed my eyes, it still lingered in my ears, as if it was the most miserable, sad, and terrifying thing in the world...

When I opened my eyes and looked again, I saw so many flesh and blood bodies falling from the top of the city wall.

He could not see the fierce fighting on the city wall, he could only see the people falling outside the city wall. He was still wondering why these people were trying so hard to climb when it was so dangerous and their lives were at stake?

Where does such courage come from? Why?
He was confused and was trying to find an answer, so he went to see his brother-in-law Su Wu.

He has been studying for twenty years, reading countless books and living in the most prosperous city of Bianjing. He thinks he has seen all the world in the world. He has a very lucky life, with no worries about food and clothing. But he has also lived a life of sorrow and pain, and is always the supporting role in the crowd.

He also lived a life of clarity, but also of confusion...

He thought he knew how the world worked...

Today, I suddenly realized that I might not know the true operating logic of this world.

Just like at this moment, he can understand the bravery written in the text, but in fact he cannot understand the bravery in front of him, because there are real people in front of him...

This kind of philosophical thinking is really a bit torturous...

A cavalryman, who was watching the battlefield from the south, rode his horse north to report.

In the northern camp, there were more than 80,000 people, and it was the same as usual.

The central army tent was packed with people.

Someone was shouting: "The fighting has started, it's really started, and it's very intense!"

Some people also said: "I wonder if the enemy reinforcements will appear behind Tong Shuxiang today..."

Some people also said: "The fighting was so fierce that many of the Prime Minister's men really climbed up. I wonder if the bandit troops in the north are moving towards the south city..."

Xin Xingzong looked at Tan Zhen, the governor of Liangzhe Road, and asked, "Sir, when can we start?"

Tan Zhen seemed to have everything under control, and waved his hand: "Don't worry, it has just begun. Just wait until they fight again, until Tong Guan's entire army attacks, and when Tong Guan really lets go and fights, then it will be the right time!"

Xin Xingzong asked again: "Should we form a battle array first?"

Tan Zhen waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, once we line up in advance, the bandits in the north of the city will definitely not go south."

"It's just..." Xin Xingzong knew about military affairs, and he knew how complicated it was to attack a city. The soldiers from the capital and western Beijing around him had poor military discipline. If they didn't line up in advance and just waited for the opportunity to attack the city, it would be a mess...

But he was interrupted by Tan Zhen: "Just what? If we alert the thieves in advance, all my plans will be wasted..."

Xin Xingzong had no choice but to stop talking, but he was still worried in his heart, worried that Tan Zhen would not be able to handle this army of nearly 100,000...

Even if Xin Xingzong himself put himself in Tan Zhen's role at this time, he couldn't help but sweat profusely, and couldn't help but think, just do your own thing, and when the time comes, you will naturally rely on him to go first, so just do your job well...

I just hope that the people in the north city will be a motley crowd and will be defeated with one blow.

On the southern platform, Cheng Hao slowly calmed down. He watched the tragic scene and looked at his brother-in-law from time to time, which seemed to calm him down...

Cheng Hao had another thought: he... seemed as if he had never wet his pants... he even reached out to touch them, and they were not wet.

Thinking of what his father said in Beijing, Cheng Hao inexplicably felt as if he had stood up for himself.

Just then, another knight appeared on the platform, shouting, "Report, southwest, the enemy reinforcements are approaching."

Su Wu immediately asked: "How far..."

"It's seven or eight miles away. There are more than a thousand cavalrymen, and they are already within four or five miles..."

"Come quickly!" Su Wu looked at Tong Guan. The movements of the enemy reinforcements had always been under the control of Su Wu's cavalry. Since yesterday, the marching speed of the enemy army suddenly increased extremely fast, which was not unexpected.

The preparations made by the government troops to attack the city are all foreshadowing the time of the siege. This is not a secret, nor does it need to be a secret.

Tong Guan nodded to Su Wu, and Su Wu bowed and said, "Prime Minister, Chief Steward Liu, I am leaving now!"

Tong Guan said: "Be careful with yourself!"

Liu Yanqing also said: "The outcome of this battle depends more on the victory or defeat of General Su. We are just waiting for good news from General Su!"

In fact, Su Wu did not think completely this way. He was not worried about the victory or defeat of the siege. He was more concerned about ending the siege as soon as possible and reducing the casualties of the elite troops.

As long as the reinforcements collapse, everything will end early.

"Don't worry, both of you!" Su Wu stood up and went. The cavalry units were ready and waiting.

Su Wu deliberately took a few more steps, passed by Cheng Hao, patted Cheng Hao on the shoulder, and walked away.

Cheng Hao also said: "Ziqing, swords have no eyes, you must be careful..."

Su Wu turned back and said, "You should say that we will definitely win the victory."

Su Wu was smiling. He had already stepped down from the platform and was now mounting his horse with extremely agile movements.

Cheng Hao shouted, "It must be a triumph!"

The black horse, stepping on the snow, has already galloped away.

In the rear formation, 7,000 cavalrymen waited for a long time, only to see Su Wu approach the front. Han Shizhong was the first to ask, "General, are the enemy troops coming?"

Su Wu nodded: "Coming!"

Han Shizhong was overjoyed: "Great, great, I've finally been waiting for this!"

How could a small lieutenant not think about the title of general? If he was not given the task of being the first to ascend the battlefield, he would be afraid that the enemy reinforcements would not come. If they did not come, all would be in vain.

Just come!

Not only Han Shizhong, but also Lin Chong, Hua Rong and Hu Yanzhuo, all looked very happy and had the same thought.

However, when General Su arrived in front of the army, he did not issue any military orders.

Hu Yanzhuo asked: "General, shouldn't we go and attack them head-on?"

Su Wu replied, "It's still far away. The thieves on the top of the city can't see clearly. Let's wait until we are closer! We must let the thieves on the top of the city see clearly how we rush down and how the 200,000 thieves throw away their armor and weapons!"

Hu Yanzhuo nodded: "So that's the truth, then just wait a little longer!"

Su Wu still rode his horse and looked around for a few times. He suddenly stopped and asked someone, "Weren't you recuperating in Huzhou? Why are you here again?"

The man was Fan Yun. He grinned and said, "General, it's done!"

"Nonsense! It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, how come it's healed again?" Su Wu might really be angry.

But Fan Yun came and said, "General, my leg bone is just fractured, not broken. It's been a month now. Although I can't run or jump, I can walk and ride a horse. My head is fine too. The wound has healed a long time ago. It's just a fractured bone, but it's not a problem..."

Su Wu had already heard about Fan Yun's affairs, so he only asked: "Are you short of money?"

"Hehe... General, you have to make more money. Maybe there won't be any wars in the future. If you make more money, you can send your son to school..."

Obviously, Fan Yun thought that after this war, there would be no more wars to fight. If he did not work hard now and seize the opportunity, he would buy a house in Dongping Prefecture and have children in the future. He was afraid that he would not be able to support his children to go to school and take exams for a long time. It was really too expensive to support one or several people to study.

People are like this. When they live a good life, they want to live a refined life. When they live a refined life, they think about rising to a higher class.

This is especially true in a positive atmosphere when there is something to strive for every day.

"You..." Su Wu understood, but he didn't know how to say it. In the future, there will be many battles, and he was afraid that his life would not last long...

But Fan Yun was laughing again: "General, I can recite the poem now. It was written by you: By the broken bridge on the post road, lonely and ownerless. It is already dusk and I am alone and sad, with the wind and rain. I have no intention of struggling for spring, I just let the flowers be jealous. It has fallen into the mud and turned into dust, but the fragrance remains the same."

Honest, silly, straightforward...

Su Wu was moved when he saw this. He thought he was a good man. He only wished that he could live forever. Su Wu also smiled and said, "Can Xiao Zhiniang sing this tune?"

"General, how could she not know it? She is best at Bu Suanzi's poetry!" Fan Yun smiled brightly.

"Okay, just wait for the war to end, and I'll also meet your little wife!" Su Wu smiled.

"That couldn't be better. Let her sing for the general then. I will never let her sing for others, but she must sing in front of the general!" Fan Yun said very seriously.

Su Wu nodded and pointed, "Come forward, a little to the middle, follow me into battle!"

Perhaps it was the rare beauty in this army. Su Wu was still Su Wu after all. He was afraid that this beauty would come to an abrupt end...

"Understood!" Fan Yun was extremely excited and really drove his horse forward.

Su Wu had already ridden his horse over and was patrolling nearby.

But it was Fan Yun, with a proud look on his face, who looked at the people around him and said, "You are so lucky."

Chen Da, the Tiger Jumping Stream, also said: "Hey, you really learned to show off..."

There was no ill will on the part of the crowd; they were just joking.

Fan Yun raised his head with pride: "I memorized it by myself, but you can't memorize it by yourself, and no one taught you, haha... I can even write many of the words..."

Everyone couldn't help but look at him with disdain, and although they didn't take it seriously, they were truly envious, and they were also really happy for Captain Fan, sincerely happy.

Chen Da said: "You, you must follow the general closely, don't lose him..."

It seemed that Chen Da also wanted to keep this beauty. He understood the general's intention. Following the general, the general's personal guards were the most brave, maybe it would be safer...

"Don't worry, Captain. I know very well that I have never fallen behind in the team." Fan Yun answered loudly and drove his horse back to the center.

"Don't go crazy again!" Chen Da gave another warning from afar.

"Yeah!" Fan Yun turned around and answered.

Su Wu was patrolling the 7,000 cavalry, at least so that everyone could see him, so that everyone knew that General Su was leading the charge...

On the top of the city wall, Crown Prince Fang Tianding suddenly became very excited and shouted, "Here they come, Marshal Si, Marshal Li, both of you are here together, Hangzhou City is defended, it is defended, it is defended!"

Lou Minzhong even went closer to the shooting hole to look. At the end of his field of vision, there was a whirring sound, as if rolling in with the clouds from the sky. The towering banner was even more clearly visible.

Lou Minzhong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Here it comes! It is impossible for the Holy Lord not to save his own son. It is indeed true!

After a while, the overwhelming reinforcements were like a tide coming from the sky, as if even the skyline was rolling over!
Countless bandits on the top of the city walls saw it all clearly, and cheers arose everywhere. For a moment, it seemed as if the morale of the troops was greatly boosted.

Some people even shouted: "The Holy Father is mighty, long live the Holy Father!"

On the platform of the government army, Liu Yanqing also shouted: "Second formation Yang Weizhong, go again. Teach the military commander to prepare as well!"

Order the soldiers to run fast!

Outside the north city, in Tan Zhen's tent, there was a report that the enemy's reinforcements were about to attack Tong Guan's rear formation, and there were 200,000 troops.
