And letting the defenders tighten and relax is the rhythm.

Having just experienced a morning of high-intensity fighting, the defenders would definitely feel relaxed at this moment.

Once you feel relaxed, it takes a while to become nervous again.

And this process is the best time to break the city.

The above is what Pei Jiu taught Pei Jian back then.

This is a rule discovered in actual combat, not in the so-called military books.

"Let five thousand men prepare."

The five thousand warriors have already eaten and are on standby.

At the top of the city, the defenders were devouring their meals.

No one knows where the next meal will be after this meal.

"Eat! Eat more!"

The farmer who brought the food sighed and moved.

Everyone knew that Zhu County could not defend it, but they could not say anything about surrendering the city.

There were only the sounds of chewing, swallowing, and coughing at the top of the city.

The guard squatted on the side, eating pancakes, and ordered, "I heard that King Qin is quite generous, so I guess he won't stop me from being laid to rest! Go and have my coffin brought out. It's made of fine wood!"

"

"Enemy attack!"

Just when the defender was still thinking that he could be buried in peace, the Northern Xinjiang Army launched an offensive.

The guard stood up and said, "Everyone, get up!"

The tired defenders stood up slowly while holding on to the city head. The hand holding the weapon looked particularly weak. He moved.

During this wave, the defenders held on for more than half an hour, and then the city was broken.

"Wan Sheng!"

At the last moment, the guard committed suicide in despair.

As for the coffin, it is still in the official house.

The city gate opened and Pei Jian ordered: "Ride out to the Hancheng area to shield Yezhou from communicating with the outside world."

"Take orders!"

The Northern Xinjiang Army's cavalry immediately attacked.

"The Northern Xinjiang Army is coming."

At the top of the city of Hancheng, where Yezhou was governed, Deng Cheng looked at the thousands of Northern Xinjiang Army cavalry approaching from far away, and asked desperately: "How long can we hold on?"

Chen Mai, the defense commander around him, said: "We can defend it as long as we can."

The Rangers split into two groups and passed quickly from both sides of Hancheng.

"Let's go." Deng Cheng felt relieved.

Chen Mai said expressionlessly: "They are heading towards Bianjing."

"What are you going to do with just a few people?"

"Break off the communication between Bianjing and Yezhou."

…

Deng Cheng was silent for a long time, "Then... maybe we can expel him?"

"Youqi has appeared, which means that Zhu County has fallen." Chen Mai squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, "Unless Bianjing sends reinforcements, from now on, Yezhou will be... alone!"

But both of them knew that it was impossible for Bianjing to send reinforcements to Yezhou in time.

This is a wave of attacks without warning. If Bianjing wants to send out a large army to rescue them, they have to reorganize, they have to mobilize food and grass, they have to...according to the efficiency of the bureaucrats in Bianjing, reinforcements mainly composed of infantry will be launched within half a month. It would be good if we could make it there.

"One month!" Deng Cheng looked at Chen Mai.

"I don't know." Chen Mai could lie to his subordinates, but this was a decision-making level, so he chose to tell the truth.

"Does that mean you're not sure?"

Deng Cheng's tone was unkind.

"Yes!" Chen Mai apologized as military officials were inherently inferior to civil servants.

"But last time you said Hancheng was impregnable! You idiot!"

Deng Cheng cursed.

If not for these words, he would have run away long ago. Move

"This official is wrong." Chen Mai lowered his head, his cheeks trembled slightly, and a look of humiliation flashed in his eyes.

He also knew humiliation. Many warriors were used to the suppression from civilian officials and did not take it seriously.

When no warrior is ashamed, this great Zhou...

The deputy general next to him had a bleak look in his eyes, and he always felt a little ominous.

The next day, the Northern Xinjiang Army came.

"Defense envoy, Zhizhou's behavior will bring us a lot of trouble in the future." In the morning breeze, the deputy general found Chen Mai, looked around first, and lowered his voice.

"We have to think of a way!"

"Unless someone comes from Bianjing." Chen Mai said calmly.

…

Ta-ta-ta!

The envoy from Bianjing changed horses without changing people, and galloped all the way.

The hundreds of cavalry accompanying them were divided into two teams, one team in front to clear the way, and the other team in the back.

In the morning wind, a scream came from the front.

"Enemy attack!" Move

Hundreds of black armored cavalry rushed out in the morning breeze.

The completely different mysterious armor stung the messenger's eyes.

"It's the Northern Xinjiang Army!"

The messenger turned his horse around and shouted: "Withdraw! Withdraw!"

"The messenger goes first!"

The general who commanded the army drew his sword and roared: "Follow me and intercept the enemy!"

Anyone can be captured, but the envoy cannot! Move

At this moment, these proud Imperial Guard cavalry burst out with their own pride.

But this pride seemed a little fragile under the assault of the Northern Xinjiang cavalry.

The messenger looked back while fleeing.

Two groups of black armored cavalry emerged from both sides, giving the Imperial Guard cavalry a fatal blow.

"Yezhou, it's over!" the messenger said desperately.

…

Woohoo! Move

The army gathered below the city.

"Pei Ziqi!"

Chen Mai said: "The leader of the army is King Qin's confidant general Pei Jian."

"Pei Jian...who?" Deng Cheng asked.

"Pei Jiu's son." Chen Mai's cheeks twitched.

"Who is Pei Jiu?" Deng Cheng asked again.

"Northern Xinjiang...the general of Northern Xinjiang more than ten years ago." Chen Maimuran moved.

"No wonder I don't know." Deng Cheng said very calmly.

But this is a basic quality!

Yezhou is a frontier, and the main enemy to be wary of is Datang.

As a magistrate, you don't even know the basic information about the enemy. What are you doing on a daily basis?

Deng Cheng liked to go out when he had nothing to do. Local wealthy people also liked to show off their bad feet, and they often brought female prostitutes with him to play around with him, bringing wine and food.
