The area of ​​Zhongli City is actually only half the size of the Taoist City. However, since the previous dynasty, Zhongli has always been a major grain storage area and a major water and land route for the southern dynasty.

Further north of Zhongli City, it is already the northern border for the Southern Dynasty.

But for the Northern Wei Dynasty, the vast field between the border cities of the border troops from Zhongli to the Southern Dynasty was their salivating fat.

These areas are flat and mostly fertile farmland. Before the rise of the Northern Wei Dynasty, many refugees and horse thieves in the north tried their best to enter these places to plunder. This was because of a successful plunder that could make them have no worries about food and clothing for a year.

Compared with the other surrounding cities, although Zhongli City does not occupy a large area, it has always been arranged as a strategic location. Half of the city is built based on water. The thick stone walls have been deep into the depths of the underwater mud. The walls against the water are high and the Huai River are turbulent, so it is difficult for ordinary naval troops to attack the city from Linshui.

Therefore, even though King Yuanying of Zhongshan, Northern Wei had repeatedly launched surprise troops, the elite troops under Lan Huaigong in Zhongli City had long been transferred by Lan Huaigong. There were only a few thousand defenders in the city, but King Yuanying of Zhongshan was all under the seat of the army. Not to mention that there were no particularly powerful naval forces, there were not even ordinary naval forces.

For the Southern Dynasties defenders in Zhongli City, if they do not need to use troops to guard the water half of the side, it means that they only need to concentrate all their troops on the side near the land.

In addition, Zhongli was originally a water and land fortress that hoarded food and weapons, and there was extremely sufficient food and weapons. Therefore, in the past when the Northern Wei Dynasty had not received heavy troops, Zhongli City gave people a sense of impenetrableness.

However, when a Northern Wei army suddenly appeared, and in the rapid flow of Huai River, it only took a short time to accumulate into the island where troops could be stored. Then it communicated with the north bank and gradually built a bridge to approach the wall of Zhongli City's waterside, the opinions of the Southern Dynasties soldiers in Zhongli City also had differences.

In the middle of the night, a rebellion broke out in Zhongli City.

The rebels won.

Several high-level generals in the city knelt on the ground with scars all over their bodies. The armor of the leader had been removed, leaving only the close-fitting blue robe.

The general was not injured too seriously, but his neck and shoulders were pressed by several cold long swords. With a slight move, the sharp sword edge made a cold blood mark on his skin.

"Wang Chaozong, you dare to commit crimes!" The general was extremely angry and looked up at a young general wearing black armor in front of him, shouting loudly.

The black-armored general who he called the Dynasty Sect finally had a look of expression on his face, showing a look of contempt, "Lan Huaigong's subordinates are all such courageless rats?"

"you!"

The general who was pressed to the ground was in a fit of anger. In the next moment, he gritted his teeth and sternly: "Do you know who my uncle is? Do you dare to disobey military orders here and do this to me..."

"I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid of your uncle?"

Wang Chaozong coldly interrupted the general's words and said, "I want to live, so I won't let you take people away like Lan Huaigong."

The two sentences of not being afraid of death and wanting to live are obviously inconsistent with me. However, at this time, all the Southern Dynasties soldiers gathered around them understood what this young general who led the rebellion meant.

If you stick here, you may die, but if these generals secretly escape with their subordinates, I am afraid that this place will be like Sicheng, and the city will be quickly destroyed, and most of the soldiers who are still kept in the dark will die.

"Hang them on the northern water surface."

Wang Chaozong no longer talked nonsense to this general and said coldly to several generals behind him.

"What!"

The several generals kneeling on the ground shouted in horror.

Even the generals behind him were a little puzzled, and one of them asked softly: "If you kill me, kill me, what should I do if I hang it on the north wall?"

"It's not for us to see, but for those Northern Wei people."

Wang Chaozong raised his head coldly. He knew that no matter how successful or lost this battle, even if he could survive well, he might die because of this matter in the future. However, the Southern Dynasty finally needed people with such shoulders to take on the matter, otherwise they would only be laughed at by the Northern Wei people.

"Just fight to the death, never stop until death."

He took a deep breath and said slowly and coldly, "If you want to take Zhongli easily and happily, that's a dream."

When such a voice sounded, the soldiers around him had already understood completely.

The appearance of these original highest-level generals in the city is not a secret, and those people from the Northern Wei Dynasty will definitely recognize it.

Originally, the highest generals in the city were hanged on the water north, so the newly arrived Northern Wei army naturally knew that the people in the city had completely sacrificed their lives and wanted to defend the city to the death.

"They have been working hard to cut wood and pile up soil these days, and it is impossible for them to sleep peacefully. I will be tempted by some loud voices and bring some bulges, so I won't even think about sleep peacefully all night." A bearded general smiled contemptuously.

Knowing the ending that he was about to face, the suppressed generals all screamed loudly and struggled.

There were heavy footsteps.

An ordinary soldier stepped forward and grabbed one of the generals' collars. Without waiting for the man to react, with a puff, a sharp knife in his hand had already pierced a deep bloody mouth in the general's chest.

The general's eyes widened in disbelief.

His heart veins and lung lobes were all pierced. He wanted to scream but couldn't even sound a word. He could only watch his blood spurt out of the wound.

"If I remember well, should your name be Chen Gengnian?" Wang Chaozong's expression remained unchanged, but he looked at the ordinary soldier like a farmer with surprise. Seeing his simple and skillful methods, he couldn't help asking, "What did you do before?"

"Pig slaying." The soldier bowed to the Emperor Chaozong and said seriously.

"No wonder."

Wang Chaozong was suddenly cheerful. While his brows were relaxed, some generals behind him burst into laughter.

The laughter is wild and heroic.

The other generals kneeling on the ground were not sure whether they were scared by the laughter or the dripping blood. They all fell to the ground with a blood-colored face and were dragged out by a group of soldiers.

Before a cup of tea, countless chaotic sounds sounded on the city wall facing water in the north of Zhongli City.

Some people shouted loudly, and some shouted to kill.

The sound of war drums rang out.

The Wei army on the water surface shot a large number of arrows, mixed with some gravel and flying blades thrown by the ordnance.

The sound of breaking through the air whimpering.
