Lei Man's 10,000 Wuzhen troops were stationed in Modao River in Shizhou.

Modao River is said to be related to Guan Yu. Guan Yu once walked by Modao River and polished the Qinglong Yanyue Blade by the river, hence the name Modao River.

Modao River is a tributary on the south side of the Yangtze River, and opposite the estuary of the river is the Yun'an Yanjing area.

Lei Man also had his own plans to send troops, intending to rob Yun'an Yanjing, and the thief who remained unchanged in nature would not leave.

Two thousand Wuzhen Army pioneers boarded the boat and crossed the river. Most of the Wuzhen Army were in the costumes of the Liaoren clans and soldiers wearing earrings. Even Lei Man had a tattoo of hair cut off and a golden ring, which looked fierce.

The lower reaches of Modao Creek is a salt cargo wharf with hundreds of ships anchored and 300 officers stationed.

Lei Man's plan was to seize the merchant ships, then the entire army crossed the river, first robbed Yun'an Yanjing, and then rushed downstream to Kuizhou City.

If you cannot fight quickly and break the city, you will immediately withdraw your troops and board the ship, go down the river to Dongting Lake, and return to your old nest Langzhou.

At dawn, a thousand elite vanguards of Wuzhen Army crossed the river on a boat and attacked the pier on the north shore, crushed the pier and destroyed the pier's official army, occupied the pier and seized merchant ships.

Afterwards, he drove a boat to the south bank to ferry the main force, and after all 10,000 Wuzhen troops crossed the river, Lei Man led his army to raid the Yanjing in Yun'an.

When Wuzhen's army captured the Yanjing Well of Yun'an and carried the spoils on the ship, the hidden scout of the Jingnan Army sailed down the river and reported to Cheng Yi, who was in Guizhou, the movements of Wuzhen's army.

Cheng Xian received a report that he had been dealing with Wu Zhen's army for many years and knew Lei Man's thoughts. He sneered and ordered ten thousand troops to take a boat to Dongting Lake to capture Yanzhou and Langzhou.

Cheng Wen's breach of contract was learned by the lurking Wuzhen army scout, but he delivered a letter from the upstream to the downstream quickly, and went upstream from Guizhou and went upstream slowly.

After the Wuzhen army in Yun'an, Kuizhou looted the Yanjing of Yun'an, he went down the river to attack Kuizhou City (Fengjie).

When the ship arrived near Kuizhou City, Lei Man personally led 8,000 soldiers to attack Kuizhou City.

Although Kuizhou City supported Guizhou's troops, it also received support from Wanzhou's troops. The governor Gao Yan received a report on the attack on Yun'an Yanjing.

Gao Yan was worried that the enemy's attack on Yun'an Yanjing was to attract the military strength of Kuizhou, and to keep the troops in motion. He believed that as long as Kuizhou City was not lost, other losses were not important.

Another reason why Gao Yan dared not take the initiative was that the military preparation and morale of Kuizhou were very poor.

When Wu Zhen's army was at the city, he first shot in a letter of threatening surrender. Gao Yan on the city tower did not look at it at all. He took the letter of arrow and threw it out of the city wall directly. Lei Man ordered the attack.

Two thousand Wu Zhen troops launched a siege, and rushed to the city wall with fearlessness, built a moat across the bridge, erected a ladder, and more than a thousand archers behind them threw arrows on the city wall.

Compared with Wuzhen's army, the defenders in Kuizhou City only had thirty bows and arrows, and there were very few soldiers wearing armor, basically were spearmen.

The Guizhou Guards were the same, which means that Wei Fufeng's southern Sichuan army stationed in Badong was low in combat power.

Wei Fufeng did not pay attention to Badong, but in comparison, southern Sichuan's defense requires more elite military troops.

Most of the crossbows made in southern Sichuan are equipped with guards and guards in various cities, and the guards in various places have bows and arrows.

The soldiers guarding the military fort have crossbows, one is to enhance their courage, and the other is to kill and injure the enemy in large quantities.

No army is willing to pay several times the price of loss for a military fort, and the capture of the military fort cannot obtain the value of profit.

The defenders of Kuizhou City

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The number of people in Wuzhen's army is not inferior to that of the siege of the city, but fighting on the ground will definitely be killed by the Wuzhen army.

Lei Man is famous for his fierceness and bravery, and Wu Zhen's army is naturally full of bandits.

Four ladders set up the city walls, and the four Wu Zhen troops climbed quickly with agile skills.

The defenders on the city wall braved the rain of arrows and threw down the rolling woods and stones, screaming in pain for a while, and there were also screams on the city wall, and many defenders were shot by bows and arrows.

The two sides fought fiercely at the battlement of the city wall. A brave man climbed up the battlement and was immediately assassinated by many spears. The spearmen were inevitably shot by the rain of arrows, and the wailing sounds on the city wall were chaotic and shocked.

Lei Man stared at the city wall. More than 300 Wu Zhen's army was injured. He observed that the defenders on the city wall were in chaos and could not pass the battlements of the siege soldiers, so he decisively ordered the siege to stop, retreat and board the ship to return.

The governor Gao Yan looked at the retreating enemy army and did not order a pursuit. The commander Pan Zhiwu, who stood with him, remained silent.

Pan Zhiwu was originally the Eastern Commander of the Hu Ben Guard and was promoted to commander.

"What do you think of Lord Pan?" Gao Yan turned his head and asked. He didn't want to be suspicious of being timid.

"Our combat power is only suitable for defending the city." Pan Zhiwu answered bluntly, Gao Yan nodded with a smile, and asked Pan Zhiwu to go and take the aftermath together.

......

The Wuzhen army took a boat down the river, walked through Wushan and Badong counties, passed through Zigui County, Guizhou, and saw a large camp of Jingnan Army.

Lei Man stood on the bow of the boat, watching the fun and watching calmly.

"Sir, why don't you see the Jingnan Army's fleet? The scouts have reported that there are 10,000 Jingnan Armys who arrived in Guizhou by boat." A general behind him suddenly said.

Lei Man was stunned, then his face changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "What a good thief, how dare you not be trusted?"

......

Ten thousand Jingnan troops took a boat down the river, headed to Shishou County and landed on the south bank, and marched to Yanyang County, Yanzhou.

Yanyang County was guarded by Lei Man's son Lei Yanwei, and the remaining army was 3,000. The Jingnan army was at the city and launched a fierce siege.

Before the Jingnan army came to the city, Lei Yanwei received the scout's reward in advance and asked people to ask Langzhou for help.

The left-behind in Langzhou is Lei Man's other son, Lei Yangong, and the left-behind military strength is also 3,000.

Although Lei Yangong was incompatible with his brother, he did not dare not not rescue Yanzhou and sent a thousand troops to help.

Unexpectedly, the next afternoon, more than 10,000 troops came from the West, but the commander Wang Wentao led 15,000 southern Sichuan troops to arrive.

Wang Wentao was once the chief lieutenant of the Hu Ben Guard. He had no experience in leading a large army to fight and had a lot of hard work along the way.

Seeing that he had arrived at his destination and had a brief revision, Wang Wentao launched a full-scale attack on the Wuling County, Langzhou, and ignored the persuasion of surrender by first being courtesy and then being soldiers.

All 15,000 southern Sichuan troops participated in the war, and a large number of ladders had been built on the way. Anyone who could attack would build ladders to attack the city.

Such a fierce attack caused the two thousand Wuzhen troops left behind to be short of troops, and the Wuzhen troops left behind were still weak.

Soon, the city wall defense was torn apart, and the southern Sichuan army came from afar. When they saw the city was about to break through, their morale was like rainbows, and they charged forward like ants one after another.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lei Yangong led hundreds of remaining soldiers to escape from the Shuicheng Gate into the Yuanjiang River.

The southern Sichuan army captured Wuling County, and the army entered the city to rest and take over.

The Jingnan Army in the north also captured Yanyang County and entered the city to repair it.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

After taking over, Lei Yanwei, the left-behind, died in battle.

......

The next morning, Lei Man's fleet also landed in Shishou County, leading 8,000 troops to rush to Yanyang County, and other troops drove their fleets into Dongting Lake and continued to return to Langzhou from the waterway.

On the way, Lei Man learned that Yanyang County had been lost and his son died in battle. He couldn't help but be furious and rushed to the city to launch a fierce attack on Yanyang County at any cost.

The Jingnan Army that captured Yanyang County was an elite army. Although the siege of more than 1,000 was lost, it was not the eight thousand Wuzhen Army that could capture the city. After a fierce battle, the eight thousand Wuzhen Army lost three thousand.

Lei Man knew that things were impossible, so he withdrew his troops and returned to Langzhou with hatred, but the Jingnan army in the city launched a pursuit and chased and entered the territory of Langzhou.

Lei Man sent a message to his son Lei Yangong to rush for help, and the flying cavalry messenger fell into the hands of the southern Sichuan army.

Commander Wang Wentao discussed with the military envoy and general Ya, and most of them had the opinion of defending the city and not sending troops.

The reason is that although there are many soldiers in southern Sichuan, they are average in military preparations and not many soldiers who are brave and good at fighting. Since they have completed the military order of the Governor's Office, it is appropriate to defend the city and standby.

Wang Wentao adopted the opinions of most people, and he also believed that the consequences of taking the initiative to send troops and losing troops and losing generals would be a crime.

There is a general who suggests that the Wuzhen army be established and that he can try to make the Wuzhen army enter the urn city.

Wang Wentao adopted it and asked a group of soldiers to put on the Wuzhen army's clothes and stand on the city wall to quickly clean up the traces of the siege.

Lei Man led his army back to his lair. He was angry and wanted to fight the pursuers. However, his subordinates lost too much force and were unable to return.

Lei Man's concerns aroused a mutiny from his subordinates, and he could only endure the hatred and escape.

When he saw Wuling County, Lei Man felt angry. He didn't think his son dared to resist his orders, but thought that it was a messenger who made a mistake. He took the lead and ran to Wuling County until the bottom of the city.

"Open the city gate." Lei Man looked up and shouted, and saw that the city walls were full of his own military forces.

The suspension bridge fell down in response to the sound, and the city gate was pushed open with a creaking sound.

Lei Manhe followed the guards and walked up to the suspension bridge. When he entered the city gate, he waved a soldier fiercely. The soldier groaned and ran over the wall with his head in his arms.

Lei Man walked by the horse and entered the urn city, with hundreds of guards following him.

Suddenly, the suspension bridge was pulled up, the city gate was closed from outside, and spears and arrows were raining down from the wall of the city wall. Thousands of southern Sichuan troops lined up to throw down their spears.

In shock, Lei Man was greeted by more than twenty long spears flying down and was stabbed into the vital points by three spears on the spot. Unfortunately, the good horses under him were buried with him.

The screams and curses were in chaos in the urn city, and in the end only twenty-six were survived in the city gate.

On the city wall, hundreds of young and old men were tied to the marquee.

Five loud prisoners shouted down on the city wall in sections, saying that 20,000 troops of Qianzhong Jiedushi occupied Langzhou and asked the generals of Wuzhen Army outside the city to surrender. If they did not surrender, they would kill their relatives.

The Wuzhen army, which was more than 5,000 outside the city, was in a panic, and many soldiers pointed at the city and cursed, and some were also clamoring for siege.

Commander Wang Wentao ordered the corpses from the urn city to be moved, stripped off the armor and threw them down the city wall, and hundreds of bloody corpses fell under the city wall and into the moat.

Lei Man's head was hung on the city wall. Wu Zhenjun outside the city looked at the falling corpse, and the scene soon fell into silence.

Those who died were Lei Man's Guards' Tooths, and those who stayed outside were actually divided into many factions.
