Mengxia County!

The huge counterweight catapult roared, and tremendous force, throwing pieces of huge rocks of about a hundred pounds onto the city wall, smashing them down with a bang, causing a rain of flesh and blood.

In addition to the catapults, there are also siege vehicles, ladders, arrow platforms, etc., which have been transformed by military strategists and turned into terrifying war machines. While assisting the siege, they also harvested a large number of lives of the enemy.

"kill!"

Many Nanfeng soldiers roared and yelled, biting sharp swords, and ants came up to fight with the defenders on the city.

"There are already Golden Crow soldiers on the top of the city?"

Below, Chen Jingzong's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. Looking at the wave of elite soldiers with gold-burned armor on the top of the city, he couldn't help but sneer: "It seems that the county is in a critical situation. Ding Hou took out all his capital to maintain the position of the Marquis... It was just a daily loss. At this time, nearly half of the damage was damaged. How can he continue to maintain it?"

During this siege, Dinghou Shitai personally brought 10,000 troops to support him. The two sides had been fighting here for half a month!

With the command of famous military generals such as Chen Jingzong, the guards suffered heavy losses than Shi Tai expected. As a result, they had no choice but to send all the Jin Crow soldiers out.

Jinwu is a famous county in Dingyuan. The people are brave and have been forbidden in suicide. The Jinwu elite soldiers produced are famous all over the world.

After the Huang Jie Rebellion, there were also huge bandits in Dingyuan County. Shi Tai's father recruited 5,000 soldiers here, scattered all his family's wealth, and spent a lot of money to build a Jinwu Yicong, quell the bandits and chaos, and even rushed thousands of miles to rescue the city, making great contributions, and was named Marquis by the court.

Until now, although the title has been passed down for a generation, the Golden Crow Yi has obviously not completely faded, and it is the most elite force in Shi Tai's hands.

"The way to fight is essentially Duizi at this time!"

Chen Jingzong thought silently: "We have control over the two counties and are well-off. Because of our firm military merits, the man was proud of his warriors and joined the army enthusiastically, hoping to divide the fields. Ten new recruits have been expanded, and there are new recruits every day... But although the other party's Jinwu Yicheng is good, he is as unruly as the fangs and generals. He eats skin armor and meat. One consumption can be as expensive as five new recruits, but his combat power can only be comparable to two or three people... Over time, if there is no external force, the other party will collapse first!"

This external force naturally refers to the state and Pingshan County.

"Qi Lin of Pingshan County has been seriously ill recently. Even if the county magistrate comes to power, it will not be a matter of military power overnight. If you want to be an enemy of our town, you will not have the strength to send troops... The only thing that is worrying is Zhang Wenzhen, the general of the state city!"

Thinking of the latest information, even though Chen Jingzong's face couldn't help but feel a hint of gloom.

Zhang Wenzhen is a general and knows the principle that soldiers are more powerful. It is said that most of the time being will be rectified, and 30,000 troops may be rushed straight at any time.

At that time, the attack between inside and outside will be immediately in the disaster of overturning these 20,000 Nanfeng Army!

...

Opposite, above the city tower.

Dinghou Shitai was wearing a python robe, with a majestic appearance and a cold and hard face like a reef. He watched the army like a tide retreat.

"Marty! The enemy retreats!"

A general stepped forward and bowed, with heartache in his eyes: "Jinwuyi died in battle on the city wall, and two hundred minor and serious injuries. He has ordered the soldiers to carry them down and handed them over to the military doctor for treatment... Marquis, you can't continue like this!"

"I know!"

Shi Tai pursed his lips: "Compared with Daye, Gu naturally knew how to choose, and he was not the only son...but..."

He pointed his hand at the army below: "Wu Zhi, this woman, is a wolf-like ambition! If I don't attack her, I will be swallowed by her sooner or later. After all, she is a hero who is determined to Dingzhou! Today's affairs are proof!"

I have to say that Dinghou’s vision is quite accurate.

His conflict with Wu Zhi has never been about the hatred of killing his son. For the hero, what is a mere son worth for the sake of great cause?

It’s like Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu in Wu Ming’s previous life. Zhang Xiu surrendered and rebelled again. In the riots, Cao Cao’s eldest son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin, and powerful general Dian Wei were killed one after another. This is much more powerful than what Shi Tai encountered.

But later, when Zhang Xiu asked for surrender again, Cao Cao still accepted it happily, and believed that Zhang Xiu was General Yangwu, and ordered his son Cao Jun to marry Zhang Xiu's daughter.

The reason why a treacherous hero is that he can tolerate what others cannot tolerate!

Shi Tai was naturally the same. Looking at the wounds in the city, he suddenly smiled: "Our army is like this. Although the Nanfeng Army has supplemented it, how good can it be? Gu has received information. The imperial general Zhang Wenzhen led 30,000 troops and has left the city. He will arrive soon!"

Speaking of this, there was endless coldness in his eyes: "When we can cooperate inside and outside, we will definitely destroy this woman in one fell swoop!"

Although I am quite clear that after this battle, my strength was greatly damaged. Even Jinwu Yicong, who started his business, was beaten to death and was destroyed. He would never have the hope of fighting for the dragon in the future, and maybe even the throne would not be guaranteed.

But finally there is a glimmer of hope! Compared with the fate of Wu Zhi's death after he broke Dingyuan County, he was definitely killed and destroyed, it was much better than not.

"Marty, hurry up a hundred miles behind!"

At this time, a messenger had dust on his face and quickly reported: "Report to the Marquis! The big thing is not good! Qi Lin, the governor of Pingshan County, personally led his troops to break through the tiger's mouth. Two thousand cavalry had already broken through within 30 miles of Pingyuan County, with tens of thousands of infantry behind him! The second young master asked for help from the horse!"

"What?"

Shi Tai stood up in shock, and suddenly became dizzy in front of him: "Shi Tai! Isn't he seriously ill? How dare you bully me!!!"

Suddenly, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person was shaking.

"Mr. Marquis!"

The generals were shocked and rushed forward to help him, and they saw Shi Tai falling down softly...

...

Dingyuan County was originally only different from Pingshan County, and it seemed that it was even disadvantaged in the confrontation between the two counties.

This time, Dinghou brought the elite out, and was stabbed in the back, and immediately couldn't bear it.

Especially when there was a large army of Wuzhi in front of him, it was a dead end to withdraw troops and return to aid!

Without this city wall, the morale of Dinghou Army will immediately plummet. Once it is hit by the tail again, it is very common for tens of thousands of people to collapse overnight.

"Ha ha!"

In the commander's tent, Wu Zhi looked at Qi Lin's letter in his hand, but his smile could no longer be hidden: "Send the order! Spread the news throughout the army, and then order it to cover the city and spread it carefully for me! Starting tomorrow, the army will surround three and one, and give me all my strength to attack the city!"

Dingyuan County is just one county, and it is very difficult to face the siege of Wu and Zhi counties. If Qi Lin hits behind the scenes, it would be unreasonable to not lose!

On April 18th, in the sixth year of Ping'an, Shi Tai's soldiers were suddenly heard of the attack on the county town. Wu Zhi took the opportunity to attack fiercely and conquered the county town. Dinghou Shi Tai died on the spot and surrendered countless soldiers!

On April 20th, news came from the rear that Qi Lin captured the Dingyuan County City, captured the two sons of Dinghou, and the hundreds of members of the Shi family, and killed them all!

The counties of Dingyuan County were terrified and surrendered to the Wushen, and the entire Dingyuan County was immediately unified.

The two armies then joined together to face the state soldiers.

At this time, Zhang Wenzhen ordered a large army of 30,000, claiming to be 60,000 to the public, and also entered Rinan County. He immediately received the front-line battle report and was immediately in a dilemma.

In terms of hard power, after joining the army with Qi Lin, Wu Zhi also had an army of 30,000. If even surrendered soldiers were counted, the number would be even greater, and the strength would be no less than that.

Moreover, at this time, the four counties combined to account for most of Dingzhou, but behind Zhang Wenzhen was only Rinan, Zhu Wu, and Jiude and three counties. The strength of the forces had been reversed.

But it would be impossible not to advance! Zhang Wenzhen knew very well that if he retreated at this time and gave Wu Zhi a calm time to clean up the rear. Later, the gap between the two sides would widen and he would not even have the strength to fight.

And there is another chance at this time!

That is, Wu Zhi and Qi Lin are their own masters and have differences in interests.

If it can make them fight, such as filth in the battle for Dingyuan County, it will be excellent.

In the end, Qi Lin occupied Dingyuan County, and the two vassal states were afraid of each other. The court and the governors were in the middle to adjust their skills, and they could barely maintain their support.

Immediately, the army did not come out of Rinan County. The envoys and instigators rushed to both Wu Zhi and Qi Lin in a crazi manner. It is necessary to instigate the two of them to suspicion and gain opportunities for the court and the state.

Title, title, honor... It can be said that the court spent a lot of money this time, and all the tricks were used, which was enough to make people dazzling. Unfortunately, in the troubled times, such a nominal thing is worthless.

However, these wishful thinking were completely broken after Qi Lin announced his surrender to Wu Zhi!

"What? Is Qi Lin stupid? If I occupy Dingyuan County, I will definitely support him and can also obtain the marquis enthroned by the imperial court. From then on, I can compete with Wu Zhi!"

"The same is true for Wu Zhi. The other party is in the military commander. The warlords surrendered in troubled times, so she accepted it without any doubt?"

In the military camp, Zhang Wenzhen stood up, and all the cups and papers in front of him fell to the ground, indicating the extreme uneasiness in his heart.

"If you have the opportunity to be independent, you just want to surrender to a woman. You are really idiot!"

Zhang Wenzhen roared and roared hysterically! The civil and military officials all looked at each other and looked at their noses and their hearts, and they didn't dare to say anything more, for fear of being angry, and their hearts were filled with surprise at the same time.

Qi Lin is both civil and military, and is well-known in Dingzhou. He is a long-famous senior figure! He actually surrendered to Wu Zhi so easily.

Could it be... this woman really has a destiny?

However, regardless of whether Wu Zhi has a destiny or not, the consequences of this declaration mean that Zhang Wenzhen's policy of internal struggle will be completely bankrupt and he has to march.

April 25.

The army on both sides met on the giant stone plain. Qi Lin led two thousand cavalry to rush forward. Zhang Wenzhen's formation was in chaos and was killed thousands of people, which was not good at the outing.

After a long confrontation, Zhang Wenzhen was unable to find an opportunity. His own army was getting tighter and his food was getting tighter, so he finally had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

In view of the instability in the rear, Wu Zhi and Qi Lin fought one after another. In addition, the strength of the state soldiers was still there, so they did not pursue the victory.
