The rain of arrows poured down, but blood was flowing. On the city wall, everyone was close to the back of the squadron to avoid arrows. The shield was not enough. County lieutenant Li Jiagui thought of a way to collect the thick wooden table and fell to the ground as a big shield.

Siyu and Jiang Anyong were avoiding behind a paulownia table. When they heard the arrows falling on the table with a "tick" sound, they suddenly laughed and said, "This sound is a bit like hitting a pipa." Back then, Siyu followed Xinfei, not only learning martial arts, but also dabbled in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. After marrying Jiang Anyong, they were abandoned. This scene aroused Siyu's elegant pleasure for some reason.

The arrow rain stopped for a quarter of an hour, and someone outside the city was shouting loudly. Jiang Anyong stood up and looked out. He saw a man dressed in Zheng Jun walking twenty steps outside the city under the escort of several Rong Mi soldiers. "Brothers in Hecheng County, surrender. Rong Mi people promised to surrender as long as they open the city gate and surrender, and they would not be killed in vain. If they did not surrender, they would not be left behind after the city was destroyed. Brothers, fellow villagers, everyone surrendered. It is important to save their lives."

The screams of sarcastic sounds drifted outside the city, and the people on the top of the city remained silent. County magistrate Li Jiagui roared: "You can believe the words of Rong Mi people. Even if they don't kill us, we will take us to be cattle and horses. Everyone saw the tragic situation of people who came back from the Western Regions some time ago. I would rather die than be a slave to Rong Mi people."

Li Jiagui's words made the people on the city suddenly wake up, and someone echoed, "Yes, I would rather die than be a slave to Rong Mi people." The low morale gradually increased, and everyone held the weapons in their hands tightly and stared at Rong Mi's army under the city with murderous intent.

Under the Flying Tiger Army of Hundred Steps Away, Hu Li asked in confusion: "Uncle, a small county like Hecheng can be taken down in just one hour. Why did you ask someone to surrender?"

"It is not difficult to take down Hecheng, but it will cost some of the troops. Moreover, most of the young and strong guarding the city will be killed." Yi Caiduo taught his nephew with great sincerity: "If Hecheng County can offer the city to surrender, not to mention how much materials can be obtained, the tens of thousands of people in Guangcheng will be a great contribution. This is the Zheng Ren's military book, "If you don't fight the soldiers who are good, you will get the most benefits."

Huli nodded and was taught, "My father likes Zheng Xue, and his elder brother is elegant. I have learned a few words along with him. It seems that Zheng people are still useful."

"The Central Plains was established for thousands of years, with profound culture and cannot be leveraged. Your father, wise and powerful, is inseparable from his wise and broad-minded vision when he was young." Yi Caiduo said earnestly: "This time your father is moving eastward to establish a foothold. If you can seize several county towns of Zheng and repel reinforcements from Zheng, your father is very likely to send troops to garrison."

Yi Caiduo glanced at Huli and said, "Your father only has two sons, you and Hurui. The future throne will probably be passed to Hurui."

Hearing Yicaido's words, Huli felt that the bubble of his dream was ruthlessly pierced. His uncle said this, and it seemed that he had no hope.

"This eastern expedition is an opportunity for you. If you can gain a foothold in Huazhou, you might as well ask your father to reward you with the territory of Huazhou. In the future, you will be able to rely on Rong Mi and divide the territory. Isn't it better to look at Zheng State than to be bound by your elder brother in Rong Mi State?"

Hu Li showed joy in his eyes and smiled: "What my uncle said is that the next attack on Huazhou County will be as secure as possible. These are my future foundation."

On the city wall, Si Yu's eyes were lively, and she said softly to Jiang Anyong: "You let me

When the person replied, he said he would discuss with the county magistrate and let Rong Mi wait for half an hour."

Jiang Anyong was confused and asked Li Jiagui to shout down, and decided to fight and surrender in half an hour. Hu Li felt that his spirit had been lost in the city, so he asked the Flying Tiger Army to retreat half a mile and wait for news in the city.

Li Jiagui said with doubts: "General Jiang, what's the use of half an hour? Then Rong Mi people find that we are delaying, and I'm afraid that the people in the city will suffer more and more."

Siyu smiled and said, "Li County Magistrate, Rong Mi Qingqi, about raiding and fighting in the field, we will definitely not be able to fight with him. If we can find a way to introduce him into the city and kill the general who leads the team accidentally, we may temporarily break the siege of Hecheng."

Fan Shiben climbed the city wall under the protection of several yamen runners, looked at Rong Mijun outside the city, and took a deep breath. Even though he was an outsider, he could see that the Rong Mi light cavalry were elite troops, with war horses standing quietly, and the knights on the horse stood up like mountains, and the scimitars were as cold as snow, which made people feel heartbroken.

Jiang Anyong and others came to a secluded place. Siyu told her idea. After half an hour, she pretended to surrender to Rong Mi's army. After leading Rong Mi people into the city, Jiang Anyong led the light cavalry to kill Rong Mi's general and temporarily lifted the siege of Hecheng.

Mr. Fan thought for a while and said, "This idea is good. I am the county magistrate. At that time, I will go out of the city to commit suicide and lead Rong Mi to the hook."

Li Jiagui immediately opposed: "Mr. Fan, you should not take risks easily, I will pretend to surrender for you."

Fan Siben was very moved. He left the city to surrender and handed over most of his life. County Magistrate Li was sending his death for him and waved his hand: "Mr. Li's kindness is recognized by Fan. Rong Mi is not a fool. The people of Zheng who he caught know about Fan. At that time, he found out that the person who surrendered was not Fan, but was wrong."

Seeing that Li Jiagui was going to persuade him, Fan Shiben smiled and said, "Fan is a useless scholar. Lord Li killed a few more Rong Mi people in the city to avenge me."

Jiang Anyong said dissatisfiedly: "Who said Brother Fan will die if he leaves the city. If Brother Fan is destined to die, I would not agree. Otherwise, if I see my brother, my brother will have to beat me to death."

Who is willing to die? I heard that Fan Shiben's dim gaze brings hope, staring at Jiang Anyong tightly.

"Brother Fan went out of the city to surrender. Siyu would dress up as a follower to protect him. I asked Ma Guoliang and the others to dress up as a yamen runner to follow him. With them to protect him, Brother Fan should be fine." Jiang Anyong said as he looked at his wife. Facing thousands of Rong Mi Feihu Army, he could be said to be a life-threatening death. It was just a critical moment. Brother Fan was a literati and dared to take risks lightly. How could his husband and wife be afraid of death in this life?

At the east gate, Zhao Daliang squeezed into the city with difficulty. When he came to the county government, he learned that County Magistrate Fan had gone to the west gate. When he arrived at the west gate, he saw people piled up stones and wood in a messy way on the street. It seemed that he wanted to stop the horses from charging. He told a yamen runner that someone led him to meet County Magistrate Fan. Zhao Daliang first saw Jiang Anyong in military uniform next to County Magistrate Fan. He knew that General Jiang brought thousands of light cavalry to train in Hecheng County, and they should be able to hold on for a while in Hecheng County.

When Jiang Anyong learned that Feng Dingzhong had hidden behind Rong Mijun with more than a thousand Tunzhong Dingzhong and defeated soldiers, he thought, "General Feng is a veteran on the battlefield. Please tell me that he will act according to the opportunity and protect himself."

Half an hour passed quickly, the west gate of Hecheng County opened, a white flag was raised high, and he took the lead in leaving the city. Seeing the white flag in the city,

Hu Li smiled and said, "It seems that Hecheng County is quite tactful. If you can take down Hecheng without bloodshed, your father will be happy."

Yi Caiduo also smiled and said, "There are only dozens of yamen runners in Hecheng County, and at most there are some garrisons. These mobs don't even have the equipment to defend the city. The soldiers attacked the city and shot arrows just now. I saw that even the tables were lifted out from the city. It was ridiculous. They knew the image, otherwise they would have to kill one to warn a hundred."

Under the white flag, Fan Shiben wore a light green official robe and holding a large seal in his hand, and walked out of the city and shouted loudly: "Hecheng County Magistrate Fan Shiben originally wanted to lead the people of the whole city to surrender to the Rong Mitian Army. He hoped that the heavenly army would be merciful and do not hurt the people of Hecheng."

Huli laughed loudly and was about to urge the horse into the city. Icedo grabbed him and said, "Wait, be careful."

He called a few surrendered soldiers and pointed to Fan Shiben at the city gate and asked, "Who is this?"

The surrendered soldiers had met County Magistrate Fan and said in unison: "It is Lord Fan, the county magistrate of Hecheng County."

Yi Caiduo looked at Fan Shiben and saw that Thirty-six famous Zaoyi yamen runners were following him. He thought that this dog official was afraid of death and would collect all the yamen runners in the city to protect him.

"Ji Kezhi, take two hundred people into the city first to see if the Zheng people have really surrendered." Yi Caidu ordered cautiously.

Ji Kezhi took the order and rushed towards the west gate with two hundred light cavalry. Siyu changed into the servant's costume and stood beside Fan Shiben. Seeing Rong Mi's light cavalry coming arrogantly, he hurriedly pulled him away. Ji Kezhichi approached, and the horse whip whipped above Fan Shiben's head and proudly led his troops into the city.

There were few people in the city, and stones and wood were piled up on the streets, and the road became narrow and difficult to move. Ji Kezhi frowned and asked, "Where have people died? What's going on with these things?"

Li Jiagui, the county magistrate waiting by the road, pretended to be frightened and said respectfully: "Report to General, when the people heard that the Tianjun entered the city, they were so scared that they hid at home and did not dare to go out. These things were prepared to transport them to the city to fight against the Tianjun. The county magistrate decided to surrender, and these things were piled on the ground and no one cared about them. This general, the villain will lead you to the county government. All the money and grains are in the county government warehouse. Please ask the Tianjun to check them."

Ji Kezhi ignored Li Jiagui and took the two hundred light cavalry around, but he did not find the ambush. Then he led his men out of the city again and came to Huli and Yicaido and reported: "The city gate is safe, there is no ambush."

Huli waved his hand proudly and said, "Go into the city."

The Flying Tiger Army was in a row with four people, and the horses took a step and took a victorious posture, stepping into Hecheng County slowly. When Yi Caiduo passed by Fan Shi himself, he stopped the war horse and sneered: "Mr. Fan, please lead the way."

"Yes", Mr. Fan bowed his head humbly, trotted to the front of Rong Mi Light Cavalry to lead the way, and led the Flying Tiger Army to the direction of the county government.

The square in front of the county government office was empty and terrifyingly quiet. The sound of Rong Mi's neat horse hooves was like stepping on Jiang Anyong's heart. Thousands of light cavalry from his troops were scattered in the alleys, courtyards, and shops around the county government office. He didn't know if this raid could win, whether it would accidentally hurt Siyu, Brother Fan, Ma Guoliang and others.
