The officers and soldiers began to move forward slowly, approaching the castle step by step.

Li Jing stood on the city wall and looked at the approaching array under the city with some confusion. Are Feng Zhang and Wang Jin really crazy and doing what they wanted? Most of the people who died in life dared to openly send troops to besiege Shamen Town?

The square formation stopped a hundred steps away from the city, probably because it was concerned about the archers on the city. A soldier wearing armor walked down the city with a red battle flag in his hand. Zhang Chengzong raised his bow and Li Jing reached out to stop it. This entry was obviously an envoy, let's hear what he was going to say first.

"Listen to the city, we are the officials led by the governor of Dengzhou, the envoy of the envoy of the Dengzhou Governor Song and the King of Bijia Zhao, the five joint troops of Longshan Camp, Dengzhou Army, Dongmu Shouzhai, Dengzhou Navy, and Daxiezhai. If you are tactful, open the city gate and surrender immediately. Otherwise, you will level the castle in a while and kill all the bandits here! Give you a stick of incense and think carefully."

As soon as he shouted, the people on the city were stunned.

Li Jing was also stunned. Why did not only come from the Dengzhou Navy and Da Xie Village, but also from Longshan Camp, Dongmu Shouchao and Dengzhou Zhizhou soldiers also come, and even claim that Song Wen and Li Feng were led by themselves. What's going on? When did Song Wen and Li Feng get together with Wang Jin, and actually come to attack him? This matter is so strange, there is something wrong with it.

"Where are the envoys of Song and King Zhao? Please come up and I want to see them." Li Jing shouted loudly.

The entrance under the city was obviously stunned for a moment, and then replied loudly: "I want to see the envoy of Song and King Zhao, you come out of the city!"

Li Jing thought about it carefully, and was a little worried that it was a trick of the enemy's entry, so he didn't dare to leave the city rashly. However, if it was Song Wen who came, then he would be a little confused. After thinking about it, he felt that it was so far that he could not see clearly whether Song Wen was really in the army. However, he wrote a text message, and mentioned a few words that only Song Wen knew about the two words that were said by Song Wen, and then he went down to the city with an arrow. He believed that if Song Wen was really at the city and saw this letter, the matter would be clear.

Sure enough, as soon as Xin shoveled down, the messenger ran back and asked loudly: "Is it Li Jing and Li Zhen General in the city?"

"It's right here." Li Jing replied loudly.

The messenger was a little confused and asked again: "Did Shamen Town be attacked by pirates yesterday? Where are the pirates now?"

Li Jing shouted: "What are you talking about is more than a thousand pirates led by the one-eyed dragon?"

“That’s right.”

"Hahaha!" Li Jing laughed, "If you are talking about him, it would be a pity that the one-eyed dragon's troops have been killed by my Shamen soldiers. You are one step late."

The messenger ran back again, and after a while, he took Song Wen's general and a team of servants forward. After meeting each other, he finally determined what was going on. Li Jing immediately ordered the city gate to open to welcome Song Wen and others into the city, and Li Jing and other generals greeted him personally at the city gate.

Song Wen and Li Feng arrived first, and after seeing Li Jing, they were amazed. Seeing that the city was covered with black and red soil stained with blood, and the entire wall of the West City Wall was pushed down, you could imagine the fierceness of the battle last night. When asked about the pirates' attack, Song Wenyou couldn't believe Li Jing's previous answer.

"You really killed the one-eyed dragon, and his men were also wiped out?"

Li Jing nodded: "Yes, the one-eyed dragon led nine hundred pirates to attack yesterday. Fortunately, it will be discovered in time and make a defense early. All men and women in the town fought desperately with the pirates, fought fiercely for a night, and finally killed all the pirates. The one-eyed dragon also died in the chaos."

Li Jing did not say that battle completely truthfully. If one thousand pirates and the Wang family's entry into the attack and were defeated by them, it sounded too mysterious. Moreover, it would reveal the true military strength and combat power of Shamen Town. Besides, Li Jing did not want to reveal those hundreds of prisoners, so as not to ask for handing over it at that time. These entry is now his prisoners, and he has already decided that these entry will be slaves on the island.

"How many casualties are you?"

Li Jing replied with a painful look: "A total of 600 people were killed in battle, 60% of the newly recruited soldiers were killed in battle, and many people who helped the war were also killed in battle. Envoy, our troops were severely injured in this battle. Please send those weapons to the early stages, so as to increase our army's strength. In addition, please help me in terms of money, food and pensions."

Song Wen did not expect Li Jing to have such great casualties, but then he thought that they had been a miracle yesterday with the solitary army of Shamen Town, which was a lonely army, which was a single person in Shamen Town. It was normal to have greater casualties. If there were no major casualties, he would still find it strange. He nodded immediately: "Okay, I will try my best to arrange this matter. The Dengzhou treasury is not rich, but I will try my best to get it if I can."

Li Xian asked about the safety of his daughter and Yu Youniang with concern. Li Jing said with a bitter face that Li Huier and the others beat drums on the city tower yesterday to help the military power. He had a brief report that Li Xian wanted to take them away, but he didn't expect that Li Xian would smile on his face after hearing this, and he felt like an old captain Huai, which almost made Li Jing block there and couldn't lift it up. Seeing Li Jing's depressed look, Li Xian chuckled and patted Li Jing's shoulder and said, "It's hard for you." But no matter how he said that, he insisted on not mentioning the meaning of taking Li Huier and the others.

Li Jing brought Song Wen and his group to a corner outside the city. There were hundreds of pirates piled up here. These pirate subordinates were the one-eyed dragon, with a total of 900. There were also two hundred heads guarded by the Wang family. Li Jing opened those and did not take them to see them at this time.

Seeing the pirate heads piled up like a mountain, there was no doubt that Li Jing and the others had defeated the pirates. Song Wen smiled and praised Li Jing. It was a great achievement to annihilate a group of thieves on the sea at once and win so many heads. Not only Li Jing's great achievements were also Song Wen's great achievements, but he could even report to Chang'an, the capital, and it was also a great achievement of the governor Song Wei. At present, bandits everywhere were rushing, and the court was full of headaches. At this time, the pirate one-eyed dragon dared to lead the crowd to attack the garrison of the officers and soldiers, but was annihilated by the official army and beheaded at level 900. This was a great achievement and a great achievement of Dengzhou and Ziqing Town.

Song Wen ordered all the heads to be counted, and then packed them to take them back to Dengzhou and sent them to Ziqing Town for credit.

Looking at these heads, not only Song Wen, Li Feng and others were happy, but also the generals from the other five military camps looked envious. If so many heads were reported to the court, then after rewarding, they could at least be promoted to the third level.

Song Wen looked at Li Jing with three long beards, and he couldn't help but value Li Jing even more. Before, he just regarded Li Jing as a guy who had some skills but was more lucky and more valuable. However, after this battle, Li Jing, a small piece he sent to Daxie Village, couldn't help but magnify Xu Da.

"Ji Yu wiped out the invading pirates in one fell swoop and attacked the dignity of our Dengzhou official army. I will report these heads as much as possible to ask for me for you." As soon as this statement came out, many generals on the side showed envy and jealousy, especially the two commanders of the Daxiezhai and Dengzhou Navy Feng Xun and Wang Song. They thought that after so long, Shamen Town must have been broken and looted by the one-eyed dragon. When they came to the island, they happened to see the miserable end of Li Jing and others. Who expected that Li Jing not only did not die but jumped alive, but also wiped out the one-eyed dragon. Now they were cursing the one-eyed dragon in their hearts, which was useless. Especially Wang Song, they knew in their hearts that there were not only pirates, but also Wang Fu brought two hundred people to help. But why did they only hear the pirates being annihilated, but they did not hear any news about Wang Fu and others?

Li Jing saw the expressions of the generals, smiled slightly, and said, "It is also a blessing to win this battle. Moreover, my Shamen Town soldiers were almost killed in battle, and hundreds of young and strong people were involved. Now even the fortress city has been broken, and the temporary camp outside the city has been burned. Now, I don't know how to survive later. Therefore, I actually have a suggestion for military merit. I am not old and have already served as the general. Because of my lack of experience, I have the current situation. How dare I ask for promotion again? With my ability, I am also on the fire."

"So, I want to sell these pirate heads. Each ordinary pirate head is fifty, a small pirate leader is one hundred, a big pirate leader is fifty, and a big pirate leader is one thousand, and the one-eyed dragon's head is one thousand. It can be sold in stock or sold in whole. The whole buy can also be 100% off! It's not that I, Li Jing, greedy for money and goods, but because there are 600 dead in the battle between me and Zhenguang, and there are more than 10,000 minor and serious injuries. The castle in Shamen Town was broken, the camp outside the city was burned, and now all the pensions and rewards are all for money. I really have no choice. I just hope that everyone can help you buy one or two heads, which is also a supporter."

When everyone saw Li Jing say this, they were stunned for a moment. Song Wen pointed at Li Jing and sighed: "You, you are such a nonsense!"

However, although Song Wen said this, he did not mean to stop opposing. It has always been common for false military merits in the army to sell them. Basically, as long as you like and I will not disturb you even if the chief officer is. The crowd really only said that Li Jing is now poor and has no choice but to sell his head, and he is unwilling to investigate whether this matter is true or false.

Song Wen was the first to speak: "I know it's not easy for you. In this way, I will give me the heads of the one-eyed dragon and the leaders of his subordinates. I will turn around and pull a thousand stones of rice for you."

Li Jing pretended to be a difficult situation: "Song Envoy, the one-eyed dragon alone will cost 1,000 guan. He also has eighteen big leaders and seventy-two small leaders. Give more more, look at my subordinates who are not even living in the shacks. I don't know how to live in the future."

"I'll give you another three thousand linens, and I'll get you another three thousand military accounts replaced by Zhongtao, the military account I'll get replaced. That's all. I'm not a rich man, and I'll lose it even if I want it too much."

Li Jing hurriedly thanked him with a smile. The ninety-one heads were worth nearly 4,000 guan. Although it was less than the fifty guan each pirate heads he offered, the waste recycling was worth it.

With Song Wen opening this head, no one else would have planned to miss such an opportunity. Nowadays, although the promotion is a bit sudden and it is enough to spend some money, it is better to have a few pirate heads in front of you. This report is a real iron military merit. The heads are limited, with a total of 900 heads. Song Wen took away all the pirate leaders as soon as he entered, and there were still 809 left. The officers from the five barracks gathered together to discuss and divided them up directly. There were 150 of the five barracks, which was exactly 800, and the remaining nine Li Jing gave them free of charge.

Li Jing insisted on fifty knots per person, and finally sold it for 40,000 knots. However, the crowd did not have that much cash, so he said he would trade it with rice, wheat, millet, sorghum and other grains, as well as silk, silk, and linen. After that, he wrote a note, and even if everyone made the deal, Li Jing was not afraid of them betraying the debt. Anyway, there were two bosses, Song Wen and Li Feng, who were the two bosses, and probably they did not dare to rely on the money they had.

After the business was negotiated, everyone's expressions looked much better. While everyone was counting the heads they bought, the commander of Da Xie Fort pulled Li Jing aside and made a request, which was to take back the detained guards of Feng Ming and the Feng family.

"Feng Ming and three hundred guards, and fifty garrisons, and more than 200 families, are you going to take them back?" Li Jing said coldly. Feng Xun also said in a bad tone: "Jinyao, I am here to solve the problem, and I came with sincerity. If General Li refuses to cooperate, you should know the consequences."

"The consequences, what are the consequences?" Li Jing sneered, "What about the one-eyed dragon? I've been killed by all the nine hundred yuan, and now I'm selling them like dog meat? If you're really sincere, I'll give you one thing. I'm short of money now. Feng Ming and the three hundred guards, there are fifty soldiers and more than two hundred family members. But you have to give me the money. The value is calculated based on the price of the pirates just sold. One is fifty cents. Even if you earn six hundred yuan, you can get 30,000 yuan or equivalent grain and silk cloth. When will you send the money, and when will I hand over the entry to you? Otherwise, they can only work for me in Shamen Town for the rest of their lives. Don't threaten me, I'm not afraid of nine hundred pirates. Do you think I'm afraid of the two thousand horses that the great thanks for? "

"You!" Feng Xun pointed at Li Jing angrily, but Li Jing turned around and left, leaving only a figure for him, and there was no place to send him anger.

Li Jing directly found Wang Song, who was commanding the army in Dengzhou Navy, and handed him three very beautiful wooden boxes.

"What is this?" Wang Song asked in confusion.
