Outside Chenqiao Gate.

"Quick, attack!"

"Everyone will reward you with the Chenqiao Gate!"

...

Liu Wei, Zhang Shuye, and Du Chong kept urging the obviously reluctant soldiers.

The latter is really reluctant.

The last attack not only achieved nothing, but also suffered more than 3,000 casualties.

There will definitely be no different results this time.

Especially at present, the King's Army has not even been able to supply military pay. It was because Li Yan took out the taxes that had not been released from Beijing as military pay. In addition, Zhang Shuye raised a batch of taxes on Jingdong East Road, and Fan Zhixu also took out a batch of local taxes from Xijing, and finally barely maintained them. However, after Li Yan's death, Xu Churen fled to respond to the sky. Fan Zhixu hid in Zhongmu and did not dare to go forward. They did not give them money here if they had money...

In fact, Fan Zhixu had no money either.

Xu Churen temporarily intercepted Jiangnan's money and grain, but he did have money, but he used the excuse that the Bian River was controlled by Wang Yue, so he did not transport the north, but used the money to re-enlist the army on the spot.

Said to be the king.

But it should be just in case.

After all, the chaos is getting bigger and bigger. Once it becomes a big chaos, he has to protect his hometown Yingtian and avoid Jianghuai being involved in the war. Yingtian is the gate of Jianghuai. Whether he really wants to be Zhang Xun or not, he must use the limited money and grain in his hand to consolidate Yingtian.

Of course, these are not the main reasons. The main reason is that most of the people who received large sums of military pay and rewards have already run away, and even their armor and weapons have been thrown to Wang Yue. At present, most of these are brought by Liu Wei, and he is even poorer, so not only can't increase the supply of money and food for the royal army, but it makes the originally possible to make do with it and become very difficult.

The army of kings is indeed 90,000.

But this 90,000 is not the 90,000 before.

This is actually equivalent to the fact that the royal army has to pay two pays and rewards twice in one month.

It's really a bit difficult.

In short, the royal army was already ineffective at this time, and it was difficult for the soldiers to let go of their stomachs. Especially the more and more bandits were looting military supplies. In fact, those who had deserted soldiers with armor and weapons before were the ones. The continuous chaos would inevitably lead to expansion.

This will make morale even worse.

Those obviously listless soldiers carried the flight ladders, pushed the ladders, and even rushed forward slowly among the various weapons discarded last time. Overheads were stones and arrows from the city walls. Although Wang Yue had not yet produced the counterweight catapult, there were countless human catapults in the hands of more than 100,000 militiamen. As the lever rises and falls, stones weighing dozens of kilograms flew out, landing among these unlucky soldiers. Then there were soldiers who could not bear it, abandoning the weapons in their hands in horror, and then running back like crazy.

Later, Guan Sheng personally led the supervision team, rode back and forth on horseback, constantly whipping the deserters with a whip.

But it's useless.

There are too many people, and several supervisory teams are meaningless.

As they approached the city wall, more and more soldiers fleeing among the densely falling sharp arrows, and soon most of them began to escape. The original attack turned into a collapse. No matter how angrily Zhang Shuye and others roared behind, they could not change the sad reality.

The beacon fire in the direction of Xuande Gate in the city was still using the thick smoke rising into the sky to tell the loyal ministers and righteous men outside the city that their emperor was already in danger, but unfortunately, the 90,000 troops of the king here could not open the city gate in front of them. Liu Wei was indeed a good general, and Zhang Shuye was also a loyal minister, but loyal ministers and generals were useless. The city wall more than three feet high stood majestic, blocking the last few kilometers of their kings...

real.

They are closer to the great painter than Li Tianxia and Zhang Lingfu!

"Wang Yue did a good thing. If it weren't for this, how could we know that the court was so weak?"

Looking at this scene, Liu Guangguo said with interest.

The father and son did not participate in the war.

It’s not that their father and son deliberately avoided the war, but that Zhang Shuye arranged for them to be alert to prevent Wang Yue from leaving the city to attack. In fact, he did not trust them and was worried that their father and son would cause trouble...

The principle of using literature to control martial arts in the Song Dynasty could not be changed.

Therefore, the commander of the army who served the king was actually Zhang Shuye. He was the direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion, while Liu Wei was the editor of Jixian Hall and Du Chong was the editor of Jiying Hall. The three of them happened to form the commander-in-chief of the army. Although Liu Yanqing was the governor of the Three Cities of Heyang, he could only be one commander-in-chief.

He was excluded from the command center.

The more you are at this time, the more you must strictly abide by the principle of using literature to control martial arts.

This wind direction is obviously wrong.

Wang Yue's rebellion made these generals clearly start to feel sad. After all, Wang Yue could disrupt Tokyo with only 500 cavalrymen. Killing three masters is like killing chickens, and slaughtering civil officials is like killing dogs.

So what about others?

Why don’t others follow suit?

After all, it was so easy for him to succeed!

So Zhang Shuye and the other two are now very alert to Liu Yanqing.

"Don't talk nonsense. Our Liu family is considered loyal and righteous for generations. How can we be compared with that traitor!"

Liu Yanqing said slowly.

Then he stroked his beard and looked at the smoke pillar in the city with a deep face.

He did not want to be a rebel minister. The father and son of the Liu family escaped, but they had to admit that they still had a bottom line, even if they died in the end, they would not surrender the enemy. Therefore, their loyalty is indeed worthy of recognition, but it is definitely impossible to say that there is no grass in their hearts. In short, Liu Yanqing's mood is also very complicated at this moment. But at this moment, in the sky in the city, more and more birds suddenly flew up, even hovering in the sky, and then flew towards the Genyue Mountain Forest, which is also visible here.

"The city is broken!"

Liu Yanqing said with a serious face.

"Wang Yue is out!"

Liu Guangguo screamed at the same time.

At the Weizhou Gate in the distance, the suspension bridge was lowered, and a colorful monster slowly walked out with a monster carrying a steel. Behind the monster were the cavalry that kept gushing out.

"Let Liu Xi go first!"

Liu Yanqing said with a complicated look.

He waved the flag behind him and issued an order to Liu Xi who was alerting Weizhou Gate. Then the flag there also waved and expressed his order to him. Liu Yanqing smiled clearly, then waved his hand forward. The infantry lined up in front of him also moved forward, but the cavalry of their Liu family did not move...

"This old dog!"

Liu Xi looked at this scene with contempt.

"Will we fight or not?"

His brother-in-law Feng Kangnian said, looking at Wang Yue who was quickly arraying across the street.

This is the best chance to fight.

Wang Yue brought cavalrymen with cavalry outside the gate, and archers of a significantly lower level were pouring out from behind, and then quickly arranged on both wings. This clearly shows that there are infantry behind. If you want to fight, you should attack the cavalrymen on both wings, and then let the infantry cannon fodder pile up cavalrymen to be equipped with cavalry.

They have enough confidence in the combat power of their own team.

In fact, Liu Xi also had a thousand cavalry.

This is not only from the Liu family, but also from the Feng Kangnian family and Liu Xi's brother-in-law Wang Xie family. These two families are both local tyrants from the Qinlong family.

"Fight for two thousand miles to serve the king, no matter what, you must never fight!"

Liu Xi said decisively.

But at this moment, I saw a young general next to Wang Yue rushing out, jumping out of the two armies and shouting arrogantly: "Yang Zaixing, a certain Xiangzhou, who dares to fight me!"

"Uh, there are still people who fight one-on-one in front of the formation?"

Feng Kangnian said in shock.

"This guy is cunning. Since that's the case, don't lose his momentum. Who will kill this thief?"

Liu Xi said.

Of course he understood what Wang Yue meant. Everyone had some friendship at least. It was always bad to let go of their hands and fight desperately. He simply took one person to fight alone. During this single fight, the infantry behind Wang Yue also completed the formation. At that time, it was not the matter of Liu Qi, the thousand cavalry, and Liu Yanqing's main force. Since Liu Xi of course had to cooperate, he still couldn't bear to die with his own troops!

"I'll go!"

Wang Xie urged the horse and said.

Then, before he evolved to escape at the moment of battle, he would be defeated in every battle, and Wang Xie, who was still very passionate, went straight to Yang Zaixing.

"Wang Xie, the bandits were killed!"

Wang Xie shouted proudly.

Immediately afterwards, he stabbed Yang Zaixing directly in his hand. The latter blocked it casually, and the single-hook gun in his hand stabbed it out. Wang Xie hurriedly avoided it, but the next moment, Yang Zaixing retracted the single-hook gun. One of the two barbble-like hooks on the head of the gun happened to hook Wang Xie on the shoulder...

"Come down!"

Yang Zaixing roared.

Then Wang Xie screamed and was pulled down by him.

Before he could get up, Yang Zaixing's gun was pressed against his throat. He was so scared that he stopped moving. The two subordinates behind Yang Zaixing immediately stepped forward and quickly dragged Wang Xie away.

"Who else?"

Yang Zaixing continued to show off his power.

Behind him, the infantry soldiers of the Changsheng Army began to push their shield chariots out of the city gate and line up.

"This bandit is too arrogant, who will take him?"

Liu Xi continued to shout like a treacherous person.

"Let's see if someone takes him!"
To be continued...
