Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 95 The city is broken, are you a martyr?
  To the west of the Liao River, more than a hundred miles away, is Haizhou Wei.

Three days ago, this was a fort occupied by Jianzhou. Now this important town, three hundred miles away from Liaoyang City, is already in the hands of Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong manager.

After receiving the news that the Jianzhou army had moved nearly a thousand miles in three days and invaded North Korea, Xiong Tingbi had almost no hesitation and summoned all the generals above the general level in Ningyuan City to discuss the military strategy.

At the same time, Lu Enguang also presented the latest news from Jin Yiwei: "There were disagreements over the Ming Dynasty's military strategy. Nurhaci massacred his half-brother Bayala. There was suspected chaos within Jianzhou. Later, in order to balance the internal power disputes, Nurhaci changed his strategy and decided to overthrow the country. He sent more than 30,000 troops from the Eight Banners to cross Hetuala and invade North Korea, hoping to capture Seoul in one fell swoop and resolve his worries once and for all."

With the summary of information from these two aspects, the entire Ningyuan City reached a unanimous agreement on whether to take advantage of this opportunity to capture the Haizhou Guards, which the Jianzhou Bingfeng could not take into account.

Even the ancestors, who always participated in wars, were very active this time. Zu Dashou personally led more than 5,000 elite troops in the family, and together with Liu Qu formed a right route army of more than 10,000 troops. The entire tomorrow will be more than 40,000 troops. The people crossed the Liaohe River overnight and captured the Haizhou Guard almost effortlessly.
  "Is there any action on the part of Jianzhou Liaoyang City?" Early this morning, Xiong Tingbi led his generals to inspect the Haizhou city defense to prevent Houjin's sudden attack.

"For some reason, our army has occupied Haizhou Guard for three days, but there has been no response from Liaoyang City. Apart from the routine scout inspections, there is no sign of dispatching troops or generals on a daily basis," Luo Guanyi followed Xiong Tingbi, expressing his expression. Extraordinarily attentive.

After all, if the recovery of Haizhou Guard this time is a demonstration of merit, it all depends on a memorial from Xiong Tingbi.

"I originally thought that Jianzhou would dispatch at least ten thousand people to fight, at least to show off, but I didn't expect that there was no sign of resistance at all." Liu Qu laughed without any image, his face covered with stubble.

He is a close confidant of Xiong Tingbi, and he can take at least the top three credit for recovering Haizhou Guard this time.

"There is no sign of troop deployment," Zu Dashou was still calm, looking at the blurry mountains in the distance, and said in a deep voice, "Unless..."

"Unless what?" Liu Qu squinted at Zu Dashou beside him, his tone full of ridicule: "Unless it has been hiding in the mountains in the distance for a long time? Is it to attract me to attack Haizhou Guard? Or is its attack on North Korea a cover? "

The city defense inspection, which was originally full of laughter, fell into silence after Liu Qu's words.

Hiding in the distant mountains in advance?
  Looking at the undulating mountains in the distance, Xiong Tingbi's eyelids jumped.

"Hahaha, how is it possible, how is it possible!" Liu Qu suddenly covered his stomach and laughed, hunched over with tears in his eyes: "If you want to counterattack my more than 40,000 troops, you have to come with 38,000 troops no matter what. Flags, soldiers and horses, all hidden in the mountains? How is that possible! Unless they are Sun Monkey's hair!"

After hearing Liu Qu's words, everyone breathed a visible sigh of relief.
  "Haha, that's right."

"I just said, how is it possible!"

Xiong Tingbi stretched out his hand and pulled at the beating corners of his eyes, feeling lingering fear in his heart.

"Deploy additional city defense manpower to monitor the movements of Liaoyang City at any time!" Xiong Tingbi exhaled heavily: "At the same time, we will inform Guangning Youtun that after the army gathers, logistics materials and food and grass must be shipped to Haizhou Guard as soon as possible!"

"This place!" Xiong Tingbi pointed at the battlement with his hand: "I, Ming, have decided on it!"

"I will obey my orders!!"

On the city wall, all the soldiers made a loud promise.

That night
  Bang Bang Bang! ! !
  The sound of the night watch came vaguely from afar
  Chen Sangou, who was dozing while hiding in the corner of the battlement, was in a daze. The bitter old tea tree leaves that had been chewed dry were full of bitterness. They were spit out in his sleep. The gong and wooden stick were casually put aside.

A click! !

There was a faint sound of iron hitting stone bricks.

Ok?
  Chen Sangou opened his eyes drowsily and looked at the place where the sound came from.

A dark figure stood by the wall, and a sizzling sound came from his feet. The long knife was casually put aside. The crisp sound must be the sound of the long knife hitting the ground.
  Another beast that can be waterproofed everywhere!

Chen Sangou cursed secretly, curled up, and prepared to continue sleeping.

Poof! ! !

Suddenly, the sound of arrows entering the body suddenly came.

Chen Ergou suddenly opened his eyes and turned towards the dark shadow just now.

I saw that figure standing there upright, motionless.

"Hey!" Chen Ergou's voice was trembling, and his hand had already touched the gong at his waist: "Who is there!"

After three breaths, there was a plop, and the black shadow fell straight to the ground.     Apparently dead.

"Jiannu!" Chen Sangou's eyes suddenly shrank and he shouted loudly: "Enemy attack!!!"

While shouting, Chen Sangou had already picked up the gongs and drums and was about to beat them to notify his companions and the city defense.

But just as he stood up, the sound of arrow clusters breaking through the air could already be heard.

Before turning around, Chen Sangou could already feel his body being pierced by arrows.

My body felt a little cold and a little painful, and at the same time, a sense of powerlessness came quickly like a tide.

"Enemy attack." Chen Sangou was still muttering to himself before he fell.

With a plop, his body fell, and the gong in his hand also fell to the ground, making an unusually clear sound.

At this time, Chen Sangou, who was lying on the ground, looked at the sky. The light in his eyes gradually dissipated, but the arrows like rain had already come through the sky, covering the sky and the sun.

In an instant, fire broke out in Haizhou City!

Xiong Tingbi, who had already gone to bed, was anxiously awakened by his guards.

"Sir, it's urgent. Let's go quickly!"

"What's the matter?" Xiong Tingbi put on his clothes and came to the courtyard without even wearing any armor.

"Jianzhou is attacking the city at night. There are still Jiannu spies in the city. The inside and outside are united. The city is already in chaos." The guard looked anxious: "Before Jiannu can attack here, let me wait for the guard to leave! "

"I still have 30,000 troops! Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed by this general!" Xiong Tingbi's eyes widened angrily: "Call Zu Dashou, Liu Qu and others! Stop the counterattack!"

"General Liu Qu is leading his army to meet the enemy at the front! Buy time for your Excellency," the guard supported Xiong Tingbi and said anxiously: "Master Zu asked me to pick up your Excellency and leave quickly!"

"The affairs of the family and the state are caused by you and others!" Xiong Tingbi broke away from the guards: "I will not leave! Even if I die, I will die in the Haizhou Guard!"

After saying that, Xiong Tingbi turned around and went back to the house, wanting to put on his armor and go forward to meet the enemy in person.

"Where is your lord? Why don't you come out yet?" Zu Dashou's anxious voice came from outside the door.

"My lord, I want to go into battle to kill the enemy in person! I can't persuade you," the guard said helplessly.

Not long after, Xiong Tingbi came out wearing armor and holding a sword, and saw Zu Dashou standing in the courtyard.

"Zu Dashou, why don't you meet the enemy?" Xiong Tingbi looked angry.

"We were deceived by Nurhaci. There were nearly 10,000 people ambushed in the mountains outside the city, and there were a large number of spies inside the city. We attacked the city at night, with internal and external attacks. We couldn't defend it at all. Why not conserve our strength?" Zu Dashou is extremely tall. , standing there, feeling extremely oppressive.

"Where's Liu Qu?"

"Fighting to the death!"

"Do you want to escape before the battle?" Xiong Tingbi asked with a frown, while holding the sword in his hand tightly.

"Come here!" Zu Dashou shouted: "Take the sword from Master Jinglue's hand, tie him to the horse, and send him out of the city!"

"You dare!"

"I will never leave!"

At this time, no one listened to Xiong Tingbi's words. The manager was quickly tied up and thrown on the horse.

Zu Dashou was riding on his horse, looking at the flame-filled Drum Tower in the distance, and murmured to himself: "In this battle, all the previous efforts have been wasted."
