Chapter 99: The Central Army Attacks Cang, and a Bloody Battle in Handan! (Subscribe)

"How could this be! How dare they betray the court??"

In Chuzhou City, listening to the news sent back by Sun Meng, Ni Tiangui's entire expression became distorted at this moment!

Jiyang is lost!!
Although the Yangzhou Army has already set out, it is not a problem whether Jiyang City is lost or not. In fact, once Jiyang is lost, the rebel army will go deeper into Yuzhou, and the possibility of taking Cangzhou will be greater!

But the situation in Yuzhou is too bad now!

There were rebels everywhere, and nearly 10,000 of them wanted to pass through Pingyang and return to Yuzhou. Ni Tiangui was already finding it very difficult to resist.

At this time, such a thing happened again. As a state governor, how could Ni Tiangui be happy? ?

These days, he no longer has the vigor and vitality he once had, as if he has aged by ten years, and his condition is extremely bad! !

"quick!!"

"Send someone to Yangzhou to tell Fei Junzheng!!! Now the thief Lin has already penetrated deep into my Yuzhou! Tell him to quickly attack Handan City!!"

Although he was extremely angry, as the governor of a state, Ni Tiangui still had the ability to respond to emergencies.

Sun Meng had already sent someone to tell him how this battle had unfolded.

He naturally understood that the defeat in this battle could not be blamed entirely on Sun Meng. Even if he had to blame someone, it was definitely not now!
The issue he needs to consider is Yuzhou!

We must get rid of the traitor Lin Zhongyun as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Yuzhou continues to be in such chaos, even if we really pacify Lin Zhongyun in the future, Yuzhou will never be able to return to its original state!

"Also, send some people to prevent those beasts from crossing Pingyang!"

Ni Tiangui was really angry. The betrayal of the defenders made him more determined not to let these people go to Cangzhou!
He must defend this place!
"Yes!" All the officials nodded immediately and walked out one after another.

At the same time, in Jiyang City.

"Continue to expand your advantage. Yuzhou is now in complete chaos. Even the defenders can join your camp, not to mention the people in various places?"

"Since this group of people hasn't arrived yet, they must have been stopped."

"What you have to do now is to stir up people's hearts, not only to stir up the homesickness of the old people of Cangzhou, but also the hearts of the people of Yuzhou!"

"Activate all their dissatisfaction with the court! As long as Yuzhou becomes more and more chaotic, it will be more and more advantageous to you."

"Similarly, when you conquer the entire Yuzhou in the future and restore order, the people will love you even more."

"You should understand that water can carry a boat but can also capsize it."

Inside the government office, Lin Zhongyun stared closely at the virtual panel in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Crouching Dragon and Phoenix are really reassuring!"

With the help of clear thinking, Lin Zhongyun immediately understood the feasibility of this suggestion, and a series of ideas immediately emerged in his mind.

Then he opened the task panel directly.

[Received suggestion: Bewitching the people of Yuzhou (the more chaotic Yuzhou is, the better it is for you.)]

[Mission Difficulty: FB]

[Task Rewards: You will receive specific rewards based on the task rating. ]

[Received a suggestion: Take over the entire Yuzhou (the land of Jiangnan, it is definitely rich.)]

[Received suggestion: Conquer the entire Yuzhou and calm the people of Yuzhou (You must make Yuzhou look similar to Cangzhou.)]

[Task Difficulty: SS]

[Mission reward: Diamond-level treasure chest.]

[Suggestion received: Expand your harem and inherit the legacy of Emperor Wu of Wei (Dude, do you look like a hero? You are so powerful now, but you still don’t have a harem? Get some beautiful wives.)]

[Mission Difficulty: FA]

[Task Reward: You will receive rewards based on the number of the host's wives. ]

【.】

After the previous live broadcast, the task panel at this time has gradually lost comments such as asking Lin Zhongyun to commit suicide or asking Lin Zhongyun to become a fairy hero.

But the one with the most likes was still unreliable, which was to ask Lin Zhongyun to get married quickly and upload the video for them to see.

Lin Zhongyun naturally wouldn't consider this matter now.

Not to mention that he is still young, the success or failure of the rebel army is related to his life and death.

From the moment Lin Zhongyun started the rebellion, there was no turning back.

Although everything seems to be moving in a good direction now, how could Lin Zhongyun do such a thing before there is absolute safety?

And is it okay to have a larger harem?
Wouldn't the reputation he had worked so hard to build up be destroyed if he opened up a harem?

Afterwards, Lin Zhongyun opened the video upload interface again.

The casualties and spoils were uploaded together.

The rebels had a great advantage in this battle, but even so, the rebels suffered nearly 5,000 casualties.

But the spoils were extremely amazing.

I have to say that compared to Cangzhou, Yuzhou is indeed rich!

As if to guard against his own relationships, there was a lot of food and fodder stored in the entire Jiyang City, nearly three thousand stones!

Sun Meng withdrew his troops very suddenly, so naturally he had no chance to take the food and grass away, which actually gave Lin Zhongyun an advantage.

The food and grass from Cangzhou have not arrived yet.

Although Lin Zhongyun would not be short of food and grass in the short term relying solely on the food and grass from the Prince Su's Mansion.

But this is a siege, how could Lin Zhongyun bring all the food and supplies?

Now that we have captured Jiyang and seized so much food and supplies, it will undoubtedly be of great help to the rebel army!
Time flies.

In a blink of an eye, three days have passed.

Cangzhou, Handan city.

The city gates were closed, and the countless people in the city did not cause any trouble because of Lin Zhongyun's departure.

The farmland is still being recultivated in an orderly manner.

Apart from the hawkers hawking their wares on the street, the laughter of children chasing and playing can be heard from time to time.

The entire city of Handan was peaceful and everything was moving in a good direction.

But at this moment.

The rebels who were standing on the top of the city wall to guard the city suddenly shouted.

"Enemy attack!!!"

“Enemy attack!!!” “Enemy attack!!!”

"."

These shouts completely disrupted the peace in the city.

The person Lin Zhongyun left behind to guard Cangzhou was named Zhuo Zongxiang. He was a refugee who had joined Lin Zhongyun in the uprising at the beginning, and is now a deputy captain in the rebel army.

Extremely loyal to Lin Zhongyun.

After noticing something unusual, he immediately mobilized the rebels in the city and stood on the top of the city wall, staring closely at the figure in the distance that was getting closer and closer, with no end in sight!
His expression was extremely solemn! Looking at the army that appeared out of nowhere, his expression changed wildly.

He immediately sent someone to deliver the message to Lin Zhongyun.

But it was too late to send the letter now.

The enemy had obviously anticipated this, and before this, Zhuo Zongxiang had not received any news of an enemy attack.

Now even if we can send someone to deliver the letter.

But the enemy army has already arrived in front of the city. No matter how close Cangzhou is to Yuzhou, it is impossible to reach it in an instant!
For a moment, Zhuo Zongxiang's expression became completely solemn!
At this time, under the city.

Yangzhou general Jiang Lizheng was looking at the huge city that was getting closer and closer with excitement on his face, and he was becoming more and more ecstatic in his heart!
"brothers!!"

"Now the elite bandits of the forest are all in Yuzhou!"

"The current garrison of Cangzhou is probably less than 10,000 people. As long as we can capture Handan City, it will be a great achievement!"

"As long as you win, I will marry a concubine for each of you!"

How could Jiang Li not be excited?
The news that Lin Zhongyun rebelled and occupied an entire state had spread throughout Daqian.

If he could recapture Cangzhou and destroy Lin Zhongyun, it would be a huge achievement. It would not be an exaggeration to be crowned king, appointed prime minister and have his name recorded in history. How could Jiang Li not be excited?
Hearing this, the officers and soldiers behind him immediately became excited and roared excitedly in unison!
A moment later, the army arrived in front of the city.

Looking at the rebels on the top of the city who were ready to fight, Jiang Li's expression was not nervous at all. Instead, he looked at Zhuo Zongxiang, who was looking very solemn, and shouted loudly: "I am General Jiang Li of Yangzhou. If you open the city and surrender now, I will spare your lives!"

"Otherwise, when the city is breached, no one will be left alive!!"

Jiang Li held the knife in one hand with an arrogant expression!

If Lin Zhongyun's elite troops were all there, he might have looked up to these so-called rebels made up of refugees.
But considering the current state of Handan City, what does he have to fear?

On the top of the city wall, when Zhuo Zongxiang heard this, a trace of anger immediately flashed across his face, and he didn't say anything nonsense.

Looking at the officers and soldiers below, he immediately shouted: "Shoot!!!"

In an instant.

Arrows immediately fell from the sky!

The rebel army has no shortage of arrows now!

Moreover, these volunteers who were left behind by Lin Zhongyun to guard the city were originally the defenders he had specially trained, so they were naturally familiar with archery!

"Siege the city!!!"

Seeing this, Jiang Li no longer hesitated. He immediately picked up his weapon and roared.

The next moment, the officers and soldiers behind him immediately rushed up and headed straight for Handan City!

The war begins instantly!
Under the temptation of military merit, this group of officers and soldiers unexpectedly burst out with unparalleled fighting power. One after another, they rushed forward fearlessly like rebels!
Who doesn't want credit?
For these officers and soldiers, although they did not have a positive policy like the Reclamation Order, even if they won a battle it would not be enough to allow them to be promoted directly and make a fortune.

But if you have made some contribution, making some money shouldn't be a problem!
The most important thing is to break into the city.

These criminals who committed the heinous crime punishable by the extermination of their entire clan can be dealt with as he pleases, and the same goes for the money in their homes!

There are only a maximum of 10,000 people in the city today.

How could they be afraid?
Ladders were immediately set up on the top of the city wall, and soldiers climbed up to the top of the city wall one after another!
Under the city, another group of officers and soldiers also raised battering rams and began to hit the city gate!
It all happened so fast!

The rebels approaching the city were totally unprepared!

In a short while, the officers and soldiers' siege of the city progressed rapidly!
Although Handan City’s defenses were not weak, under such unprepared circumstances, the mountain-like city gate could not hold out for long!

Even after many rebel troops arrived, they blocked the city gates with manpower, hoping to keep the enemy out of the city!
but--

By the time the rebels reacted, it was already too late!
And there are only 10,000 defenders in the city!
Jiang Li brought 50,000 troops with him this time. With so many troops, they can easily capture Handan even if they launch a violent attack!

Not to mention that the rebels were totally unprepared!

Under the frenzied attack of the officers and soldiers, the rebel army defending the city immediately fell into a disadvantage.

Even though they had the advantage of geographical location, they still found it extremely difficult due to the five-fold difference in numbers!

Although there were also casualties among officers and soldiers!

Under the defenders' rain of arrows and rolling logs and boulders, many officers and soldiers suffered casualties!
But Jiang Li still had no intention of backing down!
Fei Junzheng had already given him a death order on this trip: if he failed to capture Handan, he would commit suicide to apologize!

How could he retreat?
Moreover, as a general, Jiang Li could also see that although the city had not been breached yet, the defenders in the city had already shown signs of struggling!

This is a sign of defeat!!!
"Brothers! Kill!"

"As long as you break into the city, you can enjoy everything in the city!!"

He was still roaring, encouraging the officers and soldiers!

These people are rioters!
Jiang Li is not afraid of being punished by the imperial court in the future!
As he continued to speak, the fighting spirit of the officers and soldiers continued to rise!

On the top of the city wall, Zhuo Zongxiang's expression was extremely solemn at this time.

Although he had never learned military tactics, after so much fighting and training, he was no longer the same as he was before.

He could naturally feel the difficulties the defenders were facing.

However, Zhuo Zongxiang's expression still showed no fear. Holding the official machete, Zhuo Zongxiang directly joined the battlefield.

Help the defenders to shoot down the officers and soldiers who climbed up to the top of the city one after another!
And kept shouting: "Brothers!!!"

"Mr. Lin has entrusted Handan City to us. That shows his trust in us!!!"

"I have already sent someone to inform Mr. Lin!!!"

"As long as we hold on!! Lord Lin will naturally save us! He is the reincarnation of an immortal! He will never give up on us!!!"

Zhuo Zongxiang kept shouting, and the defenders in the city listened to his shouts, and the fear in their hearts was gradually suppressed by the will to fight!

Yes, Lord Lin came to the world to save the people, how could he abandon them, and how could he not come back to save them? ?

At this time, the news that the imperial army was coming to attack the city had spread throughout Handan City!

The streets were deserted, and the prosperous and peaceful scene just now completely disappeared!

It all happened so fast!

Only a few men listened to the loud noises coming from the city gate with worried looks on their faces!
There are only 10,000 defenders in the city!
This is no secret to those who live in Handan City and can see the rebel army every day!
Listening to the shouts and cries of killing outside, their expressions also became struggling at this moment.
Ps: I beg for a monthly ticket! I beg you brothers to support me! I'm not in good condition today, I'll make up for the extra chapter tomorrow!
