The sun rises slowly and the summer breeze blows gently.

Gao Jing stood in front of the third artillery tower at the Wuyi Army in Bianzhou, looking at the military city opposite. He was waiting for the shaking of the flag of the middle artillery, and then commanded the cannon in front of him to smash the city walls and cover the infantry to attack in one go.

Before the war, Zen monks held blessing ceremonies for each cannon one by one, and the chanting of "installing cannons is for concentration and wisdom, firing cannons is for sudden enlightenment, and one cannon cannons can hit the ninth five-year plan."

Behind the cannon, there were a group of Taoists who were fasting and worshiping the god of fire, thunder, lightning, and of course Huangdi and Su Nu. They prayed that the cannons would not explode and that there would be no accidents when the gunpowder was mixed, just like the Yin-Yang Room technique of Su Nu's Heart Sutra.

The sky gradually became brighter, and the monks and Taoists no longer made noise. Only a slightly black cloud was left floating slowly towards the city of Bianzhou. Gao Jing stood on a high place. Looking around, the bonfires of the camps in various places of the government army were burning out and bursts of blue smoke emerged. The clusters behind were filled with the weapons and armor of Wuyi Army infantry, illuminating faintly.

"Start." When I saw the flag shaking, I shouted in a hurry and calm manner.

After a while, his feet were shaking. The cannon on the right shot out the first cannon ball, cutting through the silence. Gao Jing stared at it flying in the air until it hit a battlement, stirring up large masses of soil. Then the second and third cannons sounded, which were directed by Bai Juyi and others, and then the fourth and fifth fires... The sharp and shocking sound of cannons was almost suffocating and exciting. Ten thousand cannons were fired together, and Bianzhou City was shaking.

The south and north sides also began to shellfire.

After one round, the next round of artillery was silent for about a quarter of an hour, and the next round of artillery fire began.

The Wuyi army kept its promise and the cannons did not fire at Xili.

The second round of artillery bombardment was accompanied by the burning fire of the Tongwan Cannon. It was like a meteor falling from the sky, and it quickly fell into the city of Bianzhou. In the flames and smoke, the various departments of the official army began to attack Bianzhou from all directions along the moat with boats and wooden boards.

The people of Xili were the most flexible. When they saw the artillery attacks of the government army stopped, they began to carry ladders, even opened the city gate, and responded to the government army. They also told the government army: "Some of the ya soldiers in Gelifang, Luocheng, escaped into the Yacheng, while others disguised themselves as the people and stopped working hard for Han Hong."

As a result, the siege was extremely smooth. In less than two hours, the official army occupied the North, West and South Lis, and there was only the lonely Dongliya City, like a trembling dead leaves in the strong wind.

Han Hong was looking forward to the assistance of the Lu army in Ziqingping.

Originally, Li Shigu also believed that it was easy for the Pinglu army to emerge from tens of thousands of elite troops and to reach Bianzhou along Caozhou.

However, the news that came one after another was:

Wang Zhixing, the vanguard general of the Wuning Army of the imperial court, conquered our Jinxiang. The soldiers defended the city fought to the death and were beheaded 500 times;

Our side is aware that General Liu Wu, the military commander, went out of Caozhou to reinforce Bianzhou, but was blocked by Fang Yicheng's army in the court. General Liu Wu killed many enemies, but the enemy was too tenacious and could not break through his position and reach Bianzhou City.

"Why do we defend the city by fighting to the death and being captured by the enemy and killing all the people; our attack on the fortress of the official army will win step by step, but it will never be able to break through for the time being, and we will not be able to break through for the time being!" General Li Shigu was so angry that his feelings and literary statements hit the ground, and smoke came from his seven orifices.

After his anger was over, he had no choice but to ask, why did Wei Bo Tianxiong Army not arrive yet, why is the target still in Mingzhou? He asked Tian Ji'an to send 20,000 or 30,000 troops to cross the river from Daming Prefecture to our town, and then join forces to go west along Zhanqu to rescue Bianzhou. Why do you have to go far and go to attack those three states?

Then he scolded Wang Wujun, why haven't hesitated for the court yet? He insisted on waiting for Bianzhou to fall, and it would be too late to regret it.

At this time, Tian Ji'an was also extremely anxious in Daming Mansion. He asked Xing Caojun, "Although I, Wei Bo, besieged Xiahou Zhongxuan in Mingzhou City, Bianzhou City could not stand it. It would be better to draw away the besieged troops and go south to help Han Hong. What's the matter?"

Xing Caojun shook his head and said that the husband was too young after all. Since the imperial army besieged Bianzhou, how could the periphery be unprepared? The Heyang Army and Yicheng Army have sealed the Tianxiong Army's crossing the river route (Xingwei All Road).

Tian Ji'an asked again, "It would be better to cross the river directly from the mouth of the Yongji Qukou of Daming and work with Li Shigu to save Bianzhou."

Xing Caojun thought about it and said that Lang Jun's plan was also feasible, but he would face the question of who would command the coalition forces at that time.

"I don't care about so much. As long as I can save Bianzhou, what if I lower my attitude in Tianxiong Army." Tian Ji'an still has a sense of the overall situation.

In the end, Tian Ji'an gathered another 10,000 troops and asked Shi Zhouluo to control him and sent him to the south bank of the Yellow River to rescue the Xuanwu Army in Bianzhou with Li Shigu.

But Tian Ji'an still deceived Princess Jiacheng. He deceived the princess and said that this army was still going south to assist the court in quelling the rebellion.

But at this time, the official army attacking Bianzhou City began to demolish the city walls and houses under Dongya City, preparing to approach the attack and remove the last stronghold where Han Hong lived.

That night, Gao Yue, Dong Jin, and Hun Yu entered the Bianzhou Military Mansion and sent people to occupy the Transportation Courtyard. Dong Jin revisited the old place, as if in a dream. Then, in order to show that he would not disturb the people, and to express his gratitude to Gao Yue and Hun Yu, he sent a letter and summoned the girls from all over the West to hold a banquet.

It just so happened that Gao Yue was also ready to thank Luo Zhen, Liu Tuotuo and others who made great contributions to the capture of Bianzhou City, so he happily attended the banquet.

During the meal, Luo Zhen saw Gao Yue on the meal and Yingying bowed.

Ming Huaiyi, Guo Zaizhen and others stood up and described the merits of Luo Zhen and Liu Tuotuo from beginning to end. Ming Huaiyi glanced at Luo Zhen with an excited expression, and said additionally: "Dad, as the saying goes, 'Since ancient times, beautiful women have always been enlightened, and the heroes have always been in the world'. Such a chivalrous prostitute who serves the country and the people is really aggrieved. Liu Tuotuo is from my tribe, so I paid a hundred coins to redeem her and took her as a concubine with the other four. From then on, the court will reward her again, and we will inevitably have to divide her into the township and county wife."

Liu Tuotuo was overjoyed and thanked him immediately.

At this moment, Ming Huaiyi sat down, kept raising his eyebrows, and signaling to his father.

And Luo Zhen's heart beats like a drum.

Bai Juyi next to him was very excited and couldn't help but swear, and said more: "I see Luo Zhen's beautiful appearance and outstanding talent. Since the Ming general is willing to accept Liu Tutuo, Luo Zhen can only choose one of them, so that he can match it. This is also a gentleman's beauty." (1)

"Le Tian, ​​you're right!" Ming Huaiyi immediately gave Bai Juyi a thumbs up.

Gao Yue was silent, and the other two Hun Yu and Dong Jin also understood in their hearts that Luo Zhenxin belonged to the Grand Master, so there was nothing they had to do. So Dong Jin also persuaded: "I am still the governor of Xuanwu for the time being. I will issue a certificate to redeem the strange woman Luo Zhen for free."

At this moment, Gao Yue asked Guo Zaizhen, and Guo replied that I would like to pay for the redeem money, but I would be spared if I took a concubine.

Gao Yue looked at the treasures and silk piled up around him. He had been rescued by Luo Zhen once before, but he had no choice but to give his own collection of works to Luo Zhen. This time, the military supplies were abundant, and he was willing to repay Luo Zhen with a thousand secrets.
