Chapter 313: Xinyang Breaks Down (2)
Frowning, Leng Qingyu said, "It will come naturally when it is time to arrive. The general will wait with peace of mind."
The man's face darkened and said, "I can wait, but Xinyang City can't wait! General Leng looks at the city and look at the city. How many days do you think Xinyang City can last?!"
"Stop!" Leng Qingyu roared in a deep voice, his eyes shooting at the people in front of him like sharp arrows. He said in a cold voice: "Xinyang City will not be broken!"
The man was stunned by his murderous eyes, and turned around and snorted, "Since General Leng has this confidence, I will wait and see!" After saying that, he swung his sleeves and turned around and walked away quickly. Looking at the other party's eyes that were not hesitating, Leng Qingyu's eyes became even more sinister, but looking back at the dark enemy troops in the distance, which seemed to be out of sight, he could only suppress them.
The drum sounds under the city suddenly sounded as the sky shook. Leng Qingyu looked into the distance. The crowd of flags that were originally still began to move. Taking a deep breath, Leng Qingyu raised his voice and said, "Defend the city!"
On the city and under the city, another fierce competition between the two armies began. The defending party had already shown obvious fatigue and weakness, which made the soldiers under the city pounce up excitedly.
A tall building in Xinyang City, outside the diagonal window, there was a loud shout of killing in the direction of the city gate. Inside the window, an ordinary man said in a deep voice: "I can't defend Xinyang City anymore. Get ready and let's retreat."
Another man frowned and said, "Do you ask General Yuan to support them from the outside? The princess and the supportive army are already halfway."
The man shook his head and said, "It's useless. Haven't you noticed that the attacks of the Xiling army in the past two days are obviously much more fierce. The King of Zhennan is afraid that he will take down Xinyang City at all costs. Leng Qingyu can't suppress the soldiers of Xinyang City. Even if these few yen generals have been harassing people on the periphery, it won't hinder much time. It is very likely that General Yuan and the others will fall into it together."
"Okay, I'll send a message out immediately to ask General Yuan to leave the battlefield and return to Jiangxia. You guys go first, I'll leave behind to deal with Xinyang City's matters."
"Okay, be careful about everything."
After seeing off his companions, the man turned around and went downstairs to the residence of the lord of Xinyang City and walked quickly.
In the Xiling Military Camp
The King of Zhennan looked dull in a comfortable big chair, supporting his chin with one hand, closing his eyes to rest while waiting for news outside. Today, there will definitely be news that Xinyang City has broken down. Although the boy in Xinyang City is still too young, he is unable to turn the tide in this situation. When he thinks that the countless grain and cloth in Xinyang City will become supplies for him to attack Da Chu in the future, he is in a state of great pleasure.
"How are Yuan Pei preparing there?" Thinking of something, King Zhennan opened his eyes and asked.
The general who was also sitting waiting for the news immediately stood up and said, "As far as the prince's orders, our army has secretly returned to Jiangxia. Although we can't find Yuan Pei's men for a while, once Xinyang breaks his mind, he will definitely return to Jiangxia. We will not worry about not being able to catch him at that time."
The King of Zhennan nodded with satisfaction, "Very good."
The sound of the sound of the sound of the roar of the gold withdrawal came outside the tent. The smile on the face of the King of Zhennan deepened. He stood up and smiled and said, "Xinyang is broken!"
The generals were full of joy, "Congratulations to the prince." The King of Zhennan shook his head and said, "No, it's congratulations to all of us. With Xinyang, we can be invincible when attacking Da Chu. This time, it was indeed God bless my Xiling." The generals said in unison: "God bless Xiling."
The hurried footsteps of the communication soldiers came from outside the tent, "Report to the prince, Xinyang City has been broken!"
"Very good, where is the boy who guards the city?" asked the King of Zhennan.
The correspondent soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "The main general of Xinyang Leng Qingyu was not found."
Upon hearing this, the King of Zhennan couldn't help but frown and waved: "Go and inquire again, news will come immediately."
"yes!"
An hour later, all the soldiers who went to attack the city had returned to the camp, and the tent was full of joy. However, the only King Zhennan frowned. The people below couldn't help but ask, "Prince, what's wrong?" King Zhennan shook his head and said, "I don't know, I always think something is wrong..."
"Your Majesty, something is not good!" Someone outside the tent asked for a meeting loudly. The King of Zhennan felt a deep heart and said coldly: "Come in, what's wrong with Xinyang City?" The person came to him: "Your Majesty, there was only less than 20% of the food and grass that should have in Xinyang City for some reason!"
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked, "Did the people of Dongchu know that they would definitely lose and transferred the food and grass in advance?"
"Impossible. After Xinyang was surrounded, even a mosquito could not fly out, let alone so much food and grass."
The King of Zhennan's face turned gloomy and asked in a deep voice: "What else is there?"
The soldier looked at the face of King Zhennan and said tremblingly: "There are also the kuyin in Xinyang Chengfu Treasury, and the cash and silver notes of several money houses are all missing. Now the silver that can be obtained in Xinyang City is less than 30% of the original ones."
The tent was silent, and the generals peeked at the face of King Zhennan, no one dared to speak. Xinyang is not the richest city in Dongchu, but it is indeed the place where Dachu stored the most military supplies and the top five cities in Dachu's commercial trade. Although their trading target was Xiling. Originally, everyone was salivating about such cities because there were countless food, grass and gold and silver here, but now... nothing is left.
"Okay!" After a long time, the King of Zhennan suddenly sneered: "What a king's mansion!"
Everyone was stunned, and some people suspected: "Prince, do you think it was done by Ding King's Mansion?"
King Zhennan smiled and said, "Who else can hide all the food and grass except the Ding King's Mansion so quickly without knowing it?"
"But, isn't King Ding in Beirong?"
"That means there are other experts in the Ding King's Mansion."
"Your Majesty, General Zheng just ordered the city to be massacred!" A soldier hurried to the door and reported.
"Bastard!" King Zhennan slapped the table and said sternly: "Who gave the order!"
The soldier was frightened by him and hurriedly said, "General Zheng... General Zheng had a conflict with the people in the city when he led people to get things from a pawnshop, and then... General Zheng ordered the city to be massacred..."
"Immediately pass on my orders and stop the massacre of the city! I dare to execute him on the spot if I violate the law. I ordered Zheng Bian to come to see me immediately."
"yes!"
In the big tent, the soldiers looked at each other, "Prince, those Dong Chu people will be killed, leaving so many people to waste food in vain."
"That's right, when Xinyang is broken, we didn't catch anything. Let's just kill all the people of Dongchu and give them some color."
