"You are guarding the water camp, and you don't want to be careful and prevent it. This is a serious crime. You dare to drink and get drunk in the camp, causing only three hundred enemies to disrupt our navy camp, burn down my warship supplies, and kill hundreds of me.

The soldiers, severely defeated the military power of our Jingzhou! What's the point of being so incompetent?!"

After the Xuzhou army took advantage of the robbery camp, as Yang Zheng expected, Liu Qi, who had obtained the true teachings of Yang Changshi framed Zhongliang when the loss was not particularly large. As expected, he seized this god-given opportunity and took the lead without any politeness.

It pointed to Zhang Yun and Cai Zhong, who were hostile to him, and the Cai brothers passed them to the central army tent early in the morning to hold them accountable. Although Zhang Yun and the Cai brothers were angry, the handle was firmly held by Liu Qi.

Holding it in his hand, Zhang Yun and the Cai brothers were angry and could only bow their heads and confess their guilt, allowing Liu Qi to scold him but dare not retaliate. However, he hated Liu Qi more and more deeply in his heart. Literature Museum

The helpless tolerance of Zhang Yun and the Cai brothers was exchanged for Mr. Liu Qi's sudden roar. After scolding Zhang Yun and the Cai brothers, Liu Qi suddenly slapped the table in front of him and took the opportunity to roar: "

As the deputy governor of the Jingzhou Navy and the head of the Northern Camp, Zhang Yun dereliction of duty and the loss of troops, and the crime should be punished! Cai Zhong Cai He, as Zhang Yun's deputy, should also be blamed! The person who came pushed Zhang Yun out and beheaded and displayed in public. Cai Zhong Cai

And, drag it out and each beat eighty military sticks!"

"No!" Liu Qi's guard commander Han Xi waved his hand without hesitation. The six guards immediately rushed over, dragging Zhang Yun and the Cai brothers up and walked out. Zhang Yun was shocked and roared and roared:

"Liu Qi, what qualifications do you have to kill me? Do you know who I am? Do you know who I am?"

"As the commander of the entire army, you should be executed if you violate the military law. How can I not be qualified to kill you?!" Liu Qi asked with a slight face and said coldly: "Of course I know who you are, you are my father's nephew.

My cousin. But it is because you are my relative that I absolutely cannot forgive you. Otherwise, how can the morale of the army be convinced? Don’t say anything again and push it out and kill it!”

"Liu Qi, Liu Qi, you take your private revenge! Take your private revenge!" Zhang Yun screamed in disgrace, "You hate me for being kind to the second son, and refuse to support you in inheriting the throne. You take your private revenge! Take your private revenge!" But Han Xi controlled it

The guard Liu Qi didn't listen at all, dragged Zhang Yun and the same screaming brother Cai and walked out of the tent.

"Let's go!" Fortunately, Deng Yi stood up in time in the Jingzhou Governor, first stopped Liu Qi's guards, and then quickly pleaded with Liu Qi and said, "Young Master, Zhang Yun and the two Generals Cai are guilty, they are both Jingzhou.

If you are a heavy general, you may be punished too much, which may lead to the unfavorable morale of the army. I hope the prince will give you a favor and give you General Zhang Yun’s life and the two General Cai once.”

"No!" Liu Qi, who finally caught the dissident, refused flatly and said with a sensible remark: "I was ordered by my father to command an army of 80,000 to seize Jiangdong. How can I protect myself because of someone who casts a spell? Zhang Yun should be executed, and it is not tolerated.

There is a pardon! I will drag it out and behead you immediately!"

"Young Master, please think twice!" Deng Yi knelt down to Liu Qi, kowtowed and said, "The army had just arrived in Chaisang. He had killed the general before he had fought. Yu Jun was very unfavorable. I hope the young master would be kind to him and spare them once.

. Give them a chance to make meritorious deeds. Please also ask Prince Quan to take the blame and wait until the city is broken. It will not be too late to kill Zhang Yun."

"Please give me a favor from the law." The civil and military officials in Jingzhou in the big tent knelt down and pleaded with mercy. This is not because Zhang Yun and the Cai brothers have a very good relationship, but the civil and military officials in Jingzhou think that Liu Qi is a bit too much because of a small setback.

It would be too severe to kill the deputy governor of the Navy. As a friendly army, Yuan Yin and Liu Xun also followed the generals of Jingzhou to plead for Zhang Yun and the Cai brothers.

"Young Master, please be kind to the outside world." Kuai Yue also stood up and pleaded with mercy. Of course, Kuai Yue knew what Liu Qi was thinking, and also admired Liu Qi's ability to do power from the bottom of his heart, but seeing so many people

Opposing the execution of Zhang Yun, Kuai Yue did not dare to offend the public too much. He could only give Liu Qi a wink and beg: "Although Zhang Yun and the two Cai are guilty, please give the prince a look at the public officials.

They have a chance to make meritorious service.”

After looking at the civil and military officials who were kneeling in the tent, Liu Qi, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Cai Mao's deputy Zhang Yun, was helpless, because even Liu Qi was the head commander of the entire army, he could not do this with almost all his subordinates, so he thought about it after much.

Liu Qi had no choice but to change his silence and shouted: "Okay, for the sake of the generals, let's spare Zhang Yun's life! But the death penalty can be avoided, and the life penalty cannot be escaped! Someone came, push Zhang Yun out and beat the eighty military sticks again! Cai

In the middle of Cai He, each of them will be beaten forty military sticks! In the future, if you neglect your military operations and neglect your duties, you will be punished with two crimes!"

The generals of Jingzhou originally wanted to plead for Zhang Yun and the other two, but before they could say anything, Liu Qi left without giving them any more chances to plead. Han Xi, who did not belong to the Cai family, did not hesitate and immediately led the guards to

Zhang Yun and the Cai brothers dragged out of the central army tent and executed in front of the soldiers in the camp. They beat Zhang Yun with eighty military sticks, and Cai Zhong and Cai He each had forty military sticks.

The spoiled Zhang Yun and the Cai brothers were so skinny that they were flowing with blood. They fainted several times during the execution. After finally getting the military stick, Zhang Yun and the Cai brothers also fainted again, and they didn't know the situation together.

They were carried back to the water camp by their own personal soldiers.

The news that Zhang Yun, an important minister in Jingzhou, and the Cai brothers were unlucky together, naturally spread throughout the entire Jingyuan coalition camp within one day. The Xuzhou army scouts who were closely monitoring the movements of the Jingzhou army were investigated in detail.

He quickly sent the news to Chaisang City. Qiao Rui and Yang Zheng were very happy together. Then Qiao Rui quickly asked Yang Zheng: "Nephew, will you send an envoy to contact Zhang Yun and others overnight and take the opportunity to act?"

"Uncle, don't worry." Yang Zheng replied: "Zhang Yun and the Cai brothers were too seriously injured. They may not be able to meet our messengers tonight. Let's wait a few days before we can take care of them first, and they will hate Liu Qi even more.

Some. Besides, the Jingzhou Army is still in a strong state of morale, and Liu Qi's mentality is not anxious yet, and it is not the time to take action." Qiao Rui agreed with Yang Zheng's judgment and decided to wait patiently for a few more days.

Qiao Rui and Yang Zheng first waited for a fierce city attack and defense battle. After more than ten days of patient preparation, on the thirteenth day of the winter moon, Liu Yuan's coalition finally launched the first large-scale siege against Chaisang.

Rui and Yang Zheng dared not neglect, and went to the main battlefield of Ximen Chaisang, whose moat had been filled, to supervise the battle. Liu Qi, who was fled to the forefront, did not dare to neglect, and in addition to personally commanding the siege outside the battle, he arranged for Yuan Yaojun to be responsible.

Attacking the South Gate of Chaisang, the Gan brother Liu Hu was responsible for attacking the East Gate, and the general Wen Pin attacked the North Gate. The four gates attacked together and launched the most fierce attack on the City of Chaisang from the very beginning.

Just halfway through Chen Shi, the Jingzhou army's siege team was already arranged. Liu Qi couldn't wait to climb to the commanding platform and send troops, and ordered the general Lai Gong to be the vanguard and lead 4,000 infantry troops to attack the west gate of Chaisang. He also issued a heavy reward, promising to climb the city first.

Those who were rewarded ten kilograms, those who cut off Qiao Rui's head rewarded thirty kilograms of gold. Lai Gong's team was cheered up when they heard this. As soon as the war drum sounded, the first wave of two thousand people immediately launched an attack on the west gate of Chaisang. At the same time, Chai

The Liu Yuan coalition army outside the three gates in the southeast, south and north of Sang also immediately launched an attack, pushing all kinds of siege weapons of all sizes and sizes to rush to the city of Chaisang.

The battlefield of the partial divisions in the three gates in the southeast, south and north of Chaisang is better, with moats to guard and sheep and horse walls to buffer, forcing Liu Yuan's coalition forces to cross the river to attack the city with bridges and vehicles. There is little chance of danger, and the West Gate is the most dangerous. The moat is the most dangerous.

After being filled by the Jingzhou army at all costs, the sheep and horse wall built by Qiao Rui had lost its buffering effect. The various siege weapons of the Jingzhou army could also reach the city of Chaisang Ximen, so the battle at Chaisang Ximen also occurred.

From the beginning, it entered a white heat. The sound of killing from the city walls shook the sky, arrows were like locusts, and stones fell like hail.

Amid the sound of killing, Jingzhou infantry faced the dense rain of arrows from the Xuzhou army. They launched an attack with the most formal siege tactics. First, they suppressed the defenders on the city with Xiangyang artillery. Then they formed temporary fortifications with long shields and continued to suppress them with bows and arrows.

The slasher in the city, and finally the attack was made by large siege weapons such as ladder trucks and city bumpers. At the same time, it was supplemented by hundreds of light flying ladders, rushing towards the Chaisang City Wall quickly and without anxiety, and placing the flying ladder to the city wall.

Expand the Ant Attachment on the city.

To be honest, the Jingzhou Army, which was once slapped by Deputy Director Tao, was not very poor in combat effectiveness. It was just unfortunate that it encountered the most elite teams in the Xuzhou Army, and was beaten to pieces and collapsed.

However, when the second-line team of the Xuzhou Army, the Chaisang Guards, the Jingzhou Army was no less powerful in terms of combat effectiveness and will. Especially when the Ants, which tests the most combat effectiveness and willpower, attacked the city, the Jingzhou Army even fought.

In order to make the veteran Qiao Rui admire the morale and fighting spirit, in the danger of the arrows and stones being like rain, they would fly to put one ladder after another on the city wall, bit their weapons and climb quickly towards the city wall, and go to Xuzhou

The army fought for the city head and also competed for the ten kilograms of gold promised by Liu Qi to be rewarded first.

I said before that the more formal the tactics are, the harder it is to break. Unfortunately for the Jingzhou army, their regular siege tactics encountered Qiao Rui, an opponent who likes to use regular tactics to defend the enemy, so their regular

The tactics were also cracked by the most formal response tactics. As soon as the Jingzhou army's ladder was mounted on the city wall, several Xuzhou soldiers immediately pushed the big wood together and knocked it over to the ground with the people and the ladder. The Xiangyang cannon was used to put the city wall.

The Xiangyang cannon counter-suppression, the ladder car was burned with rockets and swallowtail torches, and the city car was smashed with big rocks that were penetrated with iron chains. The soldiers came to block the generals, and the water came to cover the earth. They cracked one by one in an orderly manner without any surprise.

What is destined to make the soldiers of Jingzhou sad is that their siege methods are just a few, and they only rely on numbers and lives to pile up. However, Qiao Rui's methods of defending the city opened their eyes and complained.

Seeing the Jingzhou Army's ladders hitting the city wall in large numbers, Qiao Rui's flag waved, and hundreds of yakshas at the top of the city wall were immediately smashed down. They were heavy, heavy and covered with spikes and were smashed into the air.

Of course, the soldiers in Jingzhou either died on the spot or screamed and fell off the ladder.

The yaksha was used. When the soldiers in Xuzhou dragged down and pulled upwards, the soldiers in Jingzhou quickly pulled back with their hooks, delaying the time of the soldiers in Xuzhou to collect the striking, covering their companions to climb up again; however, countless burns were poured on the city wall.

The hot golden juice was poured. The soldiers in Jingzhou were either scalded and howled, or they were scalded and cried, and some lucky ones were scalded and burned.

As soon as he pulled, the belt hair fell off, revealing his white skull, howling and dying in a miserable way.

There is also a fire curtain. This kind of extremely expensive Mohist city-defense weapon has been very rare in this era, but it is used to deal with a large number of enemies attached to the city. The fire curtain, which is several feet long, is burning and falling from the sky.

It turned the Chaisang city wall into a piece of fire wall. As they swayed back and forth, the soldiers of Jingzhou who were burned by the fire all caught fire, cried and screamed and fell from the high place, and a large number of flying ladders were ignited by the fire curtains.

It turned into a fire escape, completely scrapping, causing the soldiers in Jingzhou above to continue falling downwards.

In addition, the Xuzhou army's defense weapons must include sheep head stones, flails, quicklime bottles, etc. However, compared with these common city defense weapons, the Jingzhou army complained even more was the only Chaisang, the world's unique.

The sharp iron under the city is extremely difficult to destroy this expensive iron ground. It not only interferes with the orderly siege of the Jingzhou army, but also becomes the biggest nightmare for every ant soldier. Once it falls from the city, it falls.

On this kind of sharp iron strait, even if the soldiers in Jingzhou were not dead, they would be seriously injured. After only one hour of ants fighting, more than a hundred Jingzhou soldiers died tragically on this sharp iron strait, and two lucky ones were sitting on their butts.

On the sharp iron bar, he was nailed into the abdomen, sitting on the ground crying and shaking, and was heartbroken.

Two hours after siege, the 4,000 infantry under Lai Gong had already taken turns to launch an ants attack, but the results achieved were almost zero, except for killing some defenders in the shooting of long-range weapons.

Before a soldier could rush to the head of Chaisang City, his army suffered nearly a thousand casualties, and most of the large siege weapons such as ladder trucks and siege vehicles were burned down. Seeing this, he was anxious to win the flag and win a good start.

Liu Qi was inevitably furious and sent someone Lai Gong to say, "In one hour, you can no longer climb the city wall, and you can do military law!"

Hearing this dead order, Lai Gong had no choice but to bite the bullet and launch a charge in person, leading the whole army to charge with the newly rotated team, leading the way toward the Chaisang City Wall. Liu Qi was behind him without hesitation

He ordered his beloved general Gan Ning to lead his army of 5,000 to follow, and immediately attacked when Lai Gong's team rushed up the city wall.

Unfortunately, Lai Gong's charge was still equivalent to suicide. With tight defense and extremely sufficient supplies to defend the city, Lai Gong's team even had to pay the price of countless lives to hit the city wall, let alone

After rushing to the top of the city wall, the condescending Chaisang defenders had the advantage of the geographical advantage and used various city-defense weapons to attack the enemy in an orderly manner. Lai Gong's team was pressed under the base of the Chaisang wall and could not raise his head. At the same time,

The last two ladder cars of Lai Gong's team were soon burned by the swallowtail torch and rockets of the Xuzhou army, turning into two huge fires on the edge of the moat, completely losing the opportunity to attack the city wall.

Seeing that there was no hope of climbing the city, Lai Gong had no choice but to order the retreat helplessly and prevent the soldiers from continuing to die in vain under Chaisang City. As a result, Liu Qi was not vague and immediately beat Lai Gong to 50 military sticks in public, and ordered the Ganning team to launch it.

The charge required Gan Ning to attack the city wall before sunset to open the way for the self-driving army. At the same time, the offensive and defensive battles of the other three gates of Chaisang were also very fierce, but because the Xuzhou military fortifications of the other three gates were more complete

Liu Qi, who was somewhat self-aware, didn't even dare to ask about the situation of the other three sects. In the face of such a strict defense, the possibility of the partial division's breakthrough on the battlefield was too small.

When it was Gan Ning's turn to attack the city, the battle situation began was similar to when Lai Gong siege before. It was both an attack and refusal to fight. Although the Jingzhou army's offensive was fierce, it could not help the closely guarded Chaisang Shou.

The army was blocked under the city and could not move forward. When the defenders were used to it, Gan Ning, who was quite wise, took action and handed over the reserve team to his deputy, led the third wave of siege teams to join the battlefield, and led the

More than a hundred elite soldiers carried five light flight ladders, holding iron chains in the melee, and directly took Qiao Rui's flag in the melee.

With the cover of his own soldiers, Gan Ning and more than a hundred elite Jingzhou soldiers successfully touched the city where Qiao Ruishuai Banner was located. Then Gan Ning waved his hand and five flying ladders immediately mounted the city wall. Gan Ning took it.

He rushed up with the iron chain and rushed to the upper and middle part of the city wall in the blink of an eye. When the Xuzhou soldiers guarding this section of the city were carrying a wood and hitting the stairs, Gan Ning quickly threw out the iron chain in his hand, and the eagle claw hook at the top of the chain was accurately hooked.

The arrows were shaking and Gan Ning rose up, flying up like a big roc spreading its wings onto the city wall. Finally, he was the first to climb to the top of the Chaisang City Wall and landed near the left side of the Qiaoruishuai Banner.

"Roar up!" The soldiers of Jingzhou under the city were cheering and their morale was greatly boosted.

"Kill!" The soldiers of Xuzhou on the city wall were shocked and quickly raised their swords and guns, rushing towards Gan Ning from all directions. Gan Ning flew around like a gyro, swept across the iron chain, knocking down several Xuzhou people overturned.

The soldier then rushed to Qiao Rui, who was wearing fish scale armor on the right without hesitation, and shouted, "Jiao Rui is a man, die!"
