Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

Since Liu Sihong entered Hanzhong, he did not attach much importance to Nanzheng, and he never planned to use Nanzheng to resist the Wei army, but placed the main force in Tianze Mountain. As a result, the Qi army in the city was very small, with less than a thousand troops.

After Zhou Ruichen entered Nanzheng, Wang Jing was imprisoned. It was planned to wait for the victory of the Qi army and then take it to Jinling. The defense of Nanzheng was still in charge of Shi Mu and Chu Zhongyun, and the city gate that had been demolished was reinstalled by Shi Mu.

On Shen Ning's order, Wang Yankai asked his subordinates to put on the clothes of the Qi army, waving the banner of the Qi army, and quickly approached Nanzheng.

Shi Mu was resting in the mansion at this time, and Chu Zhongyun was on duty on the city wall. Seeing Qi Jun coming over in the distance, he was puzzled and asked why the other party was here.

Wang Yankai said calmly: "Recently, there have been many Wei troops, detouring to the back of Tianze Mountain. General Liu was worried that Nanzheng would lose, so he ordered us to come and strengthen Nanzheng's defense.

Chu Zhongyun didn't notice anything wrong with his words, and the other party's clothing, weapons, and flags were all the same as those of the Qi army, so he relaxed his vigilance, opened the city gate, and let Wang Yankai enter Nanzheng.

When Chu Zhongyun saw Wang Yankai, he hugged his fists and said: "At present, General Shi is mainly responsible for the defense of Nanzheng, he is resting at home, and I have sent someone to inform him to come."

"At present, how many troops are there in Nanzheng City?"

"There are about 800 people, most of them on the city wall.

Wang Yankai pointed to one place and said, "What is this?"

Chu Zhongyun was slightly stunned and looked in the direction Wang Yankai pointed.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Wang Yankai quickly pulled out his long knife and stabbed Chu Zhongyun several times, and Chu Zhongyun soon lost his breath.

"Kill with me!" The

1,000 Zhaowu army immediately took off the coat of the Qi army, climbed the city wall from the steps in the city, and swung their swords at the Qi army.

The change happened too quickly, and most of the Qi army had not yet reacted, and was caught off guard by the Zhaowu army, and was forced to rush into battle.

And because Chu Zhongyun was killed, there was no one to command the Qi army on the city wall. Under the fierce offensive of the Zhaowu army, in a time or so of a stick of incense, the Qi army began to rout. Wang Yankai deliberately opened the city gate and let the Qi army leave.

When the Qi army had almost fled, he closed the Nanzheng City Gate and blocked the city gate from the city with a large number of debris.

Shen Ning had told him before that there would be a Qi army attacking the city, and it was necessary to defend it for two or three hours, and the longer the better.

Wang Yankai did not dare to delay for a moment, and stepped up the arrangement of city defense. Unfortunately, the arsenal in the city has long been emptied by Liu Sihong, so he can only think of collecting other things, such as tung oil, gold juice, stones, and the like.

Shi Mu was reading a book at home, and someone came to report that a Qi army had entered the city, and General Chu asked him to go to the city gate. I changed my clothes and was just about to go out. The door to the mansion was slammed open, and dozens of Zhaowu soldiers broke in.

Shi Mu was taken aback and immediately realized that the enemy army had entered the city. With only three guards by his side, he was soon under siege. Although he is good, he still has a hard time getting out of the predicament. During the battle, he was stabbed in the right arm and was no longer able to swing his sword. Thinking that he would die this time, the soldiers of the Zhaowu Army did not kill him, tied him up, and prepared to hand it over to Li Zhao for disposal later.

Zhou Ruichen was not so lucky, the soldiers of the Zhaowu Army thought he was Wang Jing and hacked him to death.

The powerful families of Nanzheng noticed that there was a change in the city, closed the gates, and did not dare to leave the house at will.

In order to motivate the soldiers, Wang Yankai searched for a large amount of silver from the Assassin's Mansion. Each soldier was rewarded with ten taels of silver, and promised that if he could hold Nanzheng, there would be more rewards, and the morale of the army would be even higher.

......................................

After leaving Tianze Mountain, Liu Sihong did not rest for a moment. Fearing that the Zhaowu army would chase and kill from behind, he finally led the remnants

of the Qi army to arrive at the Tianze Mountain position outside Nanzheng City, and after the position of Tianze Mountain was lost, the Qi army was in a critical situation in Hanzhong. The only thing he can do is to defend Nanzheng. There was still a lot of food in the army, and at the same time, people were sent to Luxian County to ask Yang Mingsheng to transfer the money and grain to Nanzheng. If necessary, Lu County can be abandoned. He still has more than 10,000 troops, and as long as he can hold out for about a month, he will be able to wait for reinforcements from the imperial court.

"General Qiyu, no matter what I say, the Nanzheng City Gate has never opened. "The commander said.

"What!" Liu Sihong was shocked and angry. mistakenly thought it was Zhou Ruichen and deliberately did not let him enter the city.

Song Ansheng looked at the Nanzheng city wall, his pupils dilated suddenly, and said, "General, the situation has changed!" When

Liu Sihong heard this, he looked at the city and was shocked in his heart, the clothes worn by the soldiers in the city were actually different from those of the Qi army. What this means, goes without saying.

"Archery!" Wang Yankai struck first, and with an order, the archers immediately shot at the Qi army with bows.

The Qi army under the city was defenseless, and many soldiers fell to the ground with arrows.

Liu Sihong hurriedly ordered to retreat two hundred paces to avoid the range of the Zhaowu army. At present, there are no ladders in the army to climb the city walls, so the soldiers cut down the surrounding trees and use them to make ladders.

He judged that the Zhaowu army in the city should be the Zhaowu army, and judging from the density of arrows, there should not be many troops in the city.

Xia Baiwei led more than 1,000 Qi troops, and also rushed to the outside of Nanzheng City. Liu Sihong was not in the mood to listen to his report, so he also participated in the siege later.

It didn't take long for dozens of ladders to be made. Due to the tight schedule, the ladder is rough and can barely be used.

"Siege!" Liu Sihong roared.

The soldiers of the Qi army quickly carried the ladder, leaned against the city wall, and climbed up the city.

The Zhaowu army had already heated the tung oil and gold juice, and regardless of the pungent taste, he hurriedly poured it on the soldiers on the ladder.

Some of the Qi soldiers who were climbing, their faces were full of hot oil, they couldn't stand the severe pain, let out heart-rending screams, and fell down the ladder.

The soldiers below continued to climb, wave after wave. The Qi army crossbowmen will also look for opportunities to shoot the Zhaowu army in the city.

"Hurry up! Move me faster!" Wang Yankai said sharply. As soon as the Qi army came up, they used all their strength, and the disparity between the forces of the two sides was too large, and the defense became more and more difficult.

Liu Sihong under the city looked even more anxious, and all the generals under his command participated in the siege. He must enter Nanzheng as soon as possible, otherwise the enemy army will chase after him and he will probably wipe out the entire army.

The pressure on the Zhaowu army is getting stronger and greater, and there are already a lot of casualties in the army, Wang Yankai gritted his teeth and drove down waves of Qi troops.

Seeing that they were still unable to attack the city wall, the Qi army stepped up to build more ladders.

After all, the number of Zhaowu army was too small, and many Qi soldiers climbed the city wall, and the two sides fought on the city wall.

Wang Yankai said to his subordinates: "The city gate has been blocked by me, and there is nowhere to escape. Even if we surrender, the Qi army will not let us go. If you want to survive, you can only give it a go. When

the subordinates heard this, their morale was boosted, and they fought to the death. Although the Qi army attacked fiercely, it was still unable to completely occupy the city wall.

Time passed minute by minute, and the Zhaowu army was less than 300 people.

Xia Baiwei said to Liu Sihong: "The Zhaowu army is in decline, and it is still struggling to support it because it is worried that it will be killed after surrendering. The general can persuade people to surrender, and he will be able to break the will of the other party.

But Liu Sihong had already been enraged, and seeing that victory was in sight, he rejected Xia Baiwei's suggestion.

After a while, there were less than a hundred Zhaowu troops in the city, and most of them were wounded. Soldiers of the Qi army have come to the city gate from the city, cleaning up the debris and intending to open the city gate.

Liu Sihong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said to his subordinates: "Prepare to enter the city."

At this moment, a soldier suddenly came to report, "There are tens of thousands of Zhaowu troops, approaching here." "
