"Hebei soldiers are here!"

Many people who left the city from the west gate exclaimed all the way and ran back to the city gate in groups.

"Close the city gate, close the city gate!" Facing the Hebei cavalry who were rushing towards him with smoke and dust, the guards of the West Gate shouted loudly and ordered their subordinates to pull the suspension bridge and close the city gate.

However, the west city gate was crowded with people, some who had just left the city, some who ran back from a distance to enter the city. Countless people were crowded in front of the city gate, pushing and squeezing, panicking.

Seeing that the Hebei cavalry was about to arrive, the Xicheng Gate still supported a large number of people. Before the suspension bridge was pulled up, the city gate could not be closed. Suddenly, a dull shock came from the north wall of Guancheng.

Along the city wall, Meng Rang was covered in full bloom and rushed to the cavalry battalion composed of his most trusted old brothers.

If the Hebei Light Cavalry is like a dark cloud carrying lightning, always carrying an endless power, then Meng Rang's three thousand light cavalry has a feeling of thousands of troops launching together and a galloping horse, it is more like a group of wild horses galloping on the grassland, rather than a cavalry.

Along the east bank of Zhengshui, Meng Rang's three thousand light cavalry rushed straight in a swarm. There was no complete formation, and the war horses were also colorful and of different heights. Most of the horses were not war horses, but some slow horses were collected and made war horses by them. The knights on the horse were almost the same, without neat armor and unified weapons. Some people even rushed over with a scimitar on the horse, waving a scimitar.

The messy formations and messy knights all followed Meng Rang's figure and the flag held high in the flag soldiers behind him, the general manager of the Great Wei Dynasty and the Duke of Qi County Meng.

Guancheng is built next to Zhengshui, just east of Zhengshui. Zhengshui connects the canal. It is not only an important passage for Guancheng transportation, but also a natural barrier to Guancheng east. From the west of Zhengshui, you must reach the west gate of Guancheng, but only the wooden bridge in front of the west gate is only ten steps wide.

But at this time, Meng Rang took the initiative to lead the light cavalry out of the city, and finally rushed to the east bank of the wooden bridge before the Hebei cavalry captured the wooden bridge.

When the Hebei Light Cavalry, like a dark cloud, arrived at the west bank of the wooden bridge, the entire wooden bridge had already ignited thick smoke, and the bridge was filled with flames soaring into the sky.

The Zheng River is not wide, only more than ten feet long. However, because the Zheng River is close to the Guancheng City in Xingyang County, it also acts as a connecting canal and responsible for the transportation of goods, the Zheng River is often dredged. The Zheng River in the west gate section of Guancheng is even the docking wharf for the cargo ships, with a water depth of several meters.

The black Hebei battle flag finally stopped moving forward on the west bank. Cheng Yaojin frowned and said, "It seems that we are still a step late, and Meng Rang is a little brave. "" () did not escape."

Huang Junhan looked at the Zheng Shui in front and said helplessly, "This bridge has been burned, and we can't get through without building a bridge. There are two bridges more than ten miles upstream and downstream here. However, since Meng Rang burned this bridge, we probably won't have a chance at the other two."

At that moment, the two of them simply ordered the cavalry to dismount and rest, and ran for most of the day. They were all tired, and they were just here to rest as the arrival of Chen Kefu's large army. To build a bridge and cross the river, this must be the task of the engineers.

On the east bank of Zhengshui, Meng Rang looked at the military flags leading the way opposite, with a blank expression.

Several of these military flags are Cheng Yaojin's general flag, which says the Great Sui Dynasty's expedition to the Donghou, Cheng, the general of the army of the army, the pioneer of Hebei, the state of Shangzhu, and the general of the Leopard Cavalry.

Meng Rang was not unfamiliar with the word Cheng. He understood that it was Cheng Yaojin, a general under Chen Kefu. Since Cheng Yaojin has arrived, the magnificent light cavalry on the opposite side must be the elite cavalry under Cheng Yaojin.

"Father, look, Huang Junhan has indeed surrendered." Meng Cheng pointed to several other flags and said.

In the evening breeze, there were several flags that were extremely conspicuous. They were Huang Junhan's flag. Because he had just surrendered, he hurriedly drove the flags out.

‘The Marquis of the Great Sui Dynasty, the champion general Huang’

‘The Great Sui Dynasty, General Huang of Tiger Ben’

Seeing these flags, Meng Rang and others did not understand anything. However, although they had known this, seeing the two big flags with their own eyes still caused a great impact on everyone. Marquis of Sishui, the champion general, the Shangzhu Kingdom, the Tiger Ben General, the title, the Wusan rank, the honorary official, and the actual position. No matter which one of them, it was a very generous reward, and even Meng Rang had a little moved.

While everyone was pointing at the opposite side, Huang Junhan on the other side naturally saw it. He stepped on the horse and shouted to the east bank, "Mr. Meng, you must have understood the current situation. This general is now under King Chen, and now he is particularly pointing out a clear way for Brother Meng. Li Mi is also a villain, insidious and cunning, and he will be punished sooner or later. I think Brother Meng is also a hero, so why bother dragging him down and his life and death brothers under his command for the sake of the villain Li Mi?"

"Brother Meng, why not give up the city and surrender to King Chen. Everyone knows that King Chen is a true hero and the future benevolent lord in the world. Why don't Brother Meng follow the trend of the times? In this way, the people of Xingyang can be spared from the suffering of war and military disasters. Brother Meng and his many brothers can also be freed from such wandering hardships."

Meng Rang sat on the horse without saying a word, but Meng Cheng was a little moved when he heard it and shouted loudly, "Uncle Huang, my father did not mean to raise an army at the time. Now he is carrying tens of thousands of brothers, and he can't just think about wealth and honor alone. But I wonder, how King Chen plans to arrange for us tens of thousands of brothers? Can you have any advice?"

Huang Junhan turned to look at Cheng Yaojin. They were originally sent to attack Xingyang County, but Xingyang surrendered and they rushed to Guancheng all the way. Everything was long beyond the plan, so they did not have the conditions for King Chen to talk about surrender with Guancheng's soldiers.

Cheng Yaojin also hesitated for a moment, but he also understood the urgent issue of sending troops. He immediately said, "Brother Meng, King Chen will take him immediately. Although my general is not at a high level, he is willing to explain your profound righteousness to King Chen. As long as you can surrender to Hebei, the court and King Chen will not be too slow to treat you. Brother Meng, please tell the Lord that if you can't stand the rebellion everywhere today, you can no longer withstand the rebellion everywhere. If you continue to fight, how can the people in the world survive? Now King Chen is heading south to pacify the Central Plains immediately and restore peace and stability to the people in the world, living in a house and farming, so that all the people can have food and clothing. At this time, it is time for you to follow King Chen to make achievements and leave a name in history. What else do you hesitate? Do you really want to let the people in the Central Plains remember that they are just bandits and traits after you die?"

The civilian generals on the east coast were all a little moved. In the current situation, continuing to fight with the Hebei army was obviously cutting off one's own way of retreat.

"Father..."

"Cheng'er, you don't have to say anything more." Meng Rang waved his hand and interrupted his son. Meng Rang had been in a tense for nine years and was unable to fall. What kind of storms have never been seen? When he faced Li Jing in Shandong in his early years, he had considered surrendering to Chen Kefu. But he later hesitated. Chen Kefu slaughtered the tribes in Liaodong and destroyed the country and slaughtered the powerful people in Hebei. His powerful methods frightened him.

He knew his situation. He had been in the army for nine years and fought in the Jianghuai area in Shandong. Among the rebels, his reputation was not small. Although he was not as good as Li Mi, he was only a little worse. He had a very big name, but his real ability was not strong. His literary ability could not be stable in the country, and martial arts could not be determined by the country. A strong superior like Chen Kefu could not even tolerate even the aristocratic tribes in Hebei. How could he tolerate such a rebellious leader like him? Even if he accepted his surrender for a while, he would not have a good result.

Especially after receiving the news of Wang Bo's death, Meng Rang suddenly understood a lot. Their times have gone far away, and what belongs to them has become the past. No matter who wins the world in the future, no matter whether he is willing to surrender in the future, his ending will not be easy.

Instead of waiting for someone who won the world to settle him in the future, it is better to have a vigorous war in Guancheng to settle your destination.

Meng Rang did not reply to Cheng Yaojin and silently took Sanqian Light Cavalry back to Guancheng.

Before the last ray of light had fallen before dark, Chen Kefu finally arrived with most of his troops. A huge Chen-shaped penis stood on the west bank of Zhengshui, with an army of 20,000 behind him.

In the night, the four gates of Guancheng were closed, and torches were everywhere on the city, and a solemn and tense atmosphere was everywhere.

On the west bank of Zhengshui, there were also bright lights. The 20,000 Hebei troops by the river did not set up camps, but still maintained a battle array, densely spread across the west bank of Zhengshui, ready to go.

Tension, uneasy.

At midnight, after a huge explosion suddenly came from the water gate in Guancheng, the tension in the city finally completely ignited, turning into panic and fear.

While the defenders were still frightened by the loud explosion, the 20,000 Hebei troops who had been ready to go had already boarded a simple wooden raft made by one engineer battalion after another. The vanguard had already used the passage that the special forces exploded in the water gate and rushed into Guancheng from the water gate.

A thousand-mile dike collapses in an ant hole.

Guancheng, which was defended by 30,000 troops, broke the dam in an instant because of the breakthrough of the Water Gate.

There were fires everywhere, explosions everywhere, and panic screams of fear everywhere!

Although Meng Rang had the idea of ​​ending his own city in Guancheng, he thought that a big city with 30,000 brothers could defend it for ten or half a month. However, he never expected that it would take less than half a day from the appearance of Hebei cavalry and then to the chaos in the city.

**Bag, grenade, thunder, continuous shooting of powerful crossbows.

The Hebei Army's special forces allowed the peasant and rebels in Guancheng to know what a real war is. The 30,000 defenders are vulnerable and will be defeated in one blow, and they will be defeated in one blow.

"Father, the Hebei army sneaked into the water gate. A large number of Hebei army rushed into the city from the water gate. The gunpowder weapons in their hands were too powerful, and the brothers could not stop them. The west gate had been captured by the Hebei army, and the south gate had also been captured. Father, the brothers had been defeated, and everyone was fighting to escape from the east gate and the north gate. Let's go immediately. If you don't leave, it will be too late." Meng Cheng rushed to the Qi County Duke's Mansion with sweat and gasped, shouting to his father in despair. (To be continued...)
