The strong wind sways, and the flags are rushing.

Taishici and Zhao Yun rode their horses in front with guns, and a group of military soldiers followed closely behind. The huge cavalry formation flew past the North Village in Pengcheng.

In the northern village of Pengcheng, fireworks were everywhere in the sky, and in the camp was filled with the sound of ghosts crying and howling.

In the Han army camp, ochre yellow flags were raised high, with crowds of people, shouting and killing sounds shook the sky, almost breaking through the clouds and cracking stones.

Zhao Yun just took a look and turned his head. Taishi Ci had divided two songs of thousands of people riding off the horse and entering the camp, leaving two songs of thousands of people wandering around and rushing to help at any time.

When Xu An discussed the previous military, he had already informed everyone of the deployment of the Han army.

About 20,000 people were deployed in Beizhai Han army, of which almost 4,000 were internally responded, and the beacon fire was raised as a signal. Once the beacon fire was ignited, they would immediately raise an army to respond.

After Xu Huang broke through Jiuli Mountain and divided his troops to Pengcheng, the beacon fire as a signal had already been lit.

The group of insiders in Beizhai launched an attack and launched an attack on the Han generals who had not yet reacted in the camp and had no defense at all.

Yang Xuan, the general in charge of Beizhai, was commanding the generals to guard the whole country and was surrounded and killed by a group of rebels.

Yang Xuan's death made Beizhai even more chaotic. Taishici didn't even need to send troops into Beizhai, and the Han army's Beizhai would collapse on its own.

However, Taishici didn't know what happened in the northern village of Han army in Pengcheng. He not only sent people into the camp, but also left behind cavalry troops to help and prepare for defense.

Taishici did not fully trust these people who said in the letter that they should abandon darkness and turn to light, and anyway, they should submit to them.

From the very beginning, Xu An never completely believed in those aristocratic families and powerful people.

Although it has been screened by the Eagle and Wolf Guard, it cannot be ruled out that this may be the bait deliberately released by the embroidered envoy and the Hanting, just to attract the Ming army to take the bait.

Xu An made a plan from the beginning, and although he brought the aristocratic families who said they were going to make arrangements, there were actually various alternatives, which left enough wariness.

After Han Zheng helped Xu Huang break through the camp in Jiulishan, Han Zheng was controlled by Xu Huang, and the camp in Jiulishan was also taken over by the Ming army. The generals under Han Zheng were also disarmed, nominally giving them a temporary rest, but in fact they were placed under house arrest.

This time, the more than 1,000 cavalry left outside the Beizhai have the task of at least ensuring the safety of the rear route.

More than a thousand martial soldiers who entered the camp immediately controlled the camp gate, and then slowly advanced along the camp wall, giving priority to destroying siege equipment.

The more than 20,000 so-called rural heroes in Beizhai were actually not threatening at all. They would never dare to run out of the turtle shell and go out to fight in the field. The only thing that could threaten the Ming army were the bed crossbows and throwing cars in Beizhai.

The horse's hooves churned, as loud as countless heavy hammers hitting the drum surface.

Being in the riding formation, in addition to the rumbling sound of horse hooves, there are also the sound of flags and rushing, and there are almost no other sounds heard in your ears.

Mercedes-Benz was in front of the riding formation, and it suddenly became clear in front of him, which also allowed Zhao Yun to hear some voices. He and Taishi Ci could still hear each other clearly.

Zhao Yun rode his horse forward, pulling the reins to control the direction of the horse galloping.

Just less than two miles ahead is the towering and tall Pengcheng.

In the past, Xiang Yu led his troops to slaughter Xianyang, killed Qin Prince Ziying, burned Qin Palace, and after attacking Qin, the power reached the peak of Dingfeng, split the soil and enfeoffed the Eighteen Kings, proclaimed himself the King of Western Chu, and established his capital in Pengcheng.

Although the city walls of Pengcheng were constantly cut during the Han Dynasty, the city walls in mainland China had strict specifications, so the grand occasion became even worse than those of the old Chu period.

However, due to the increase in population, its city is larger than before. After being reinforced, Pengcheng is now even more majestic than when the King of Western Chu was still there.

In the original plan of Hanting, if the war is not done, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou and other places will be abandoned to retreat to the Jianghuai area.

The reason why Pengcheng was strengthened was that in its plan, Hanting wanted to rely on the Huai River to deploy defenses and use the strong cities that could radiate to the Huai River basin such as Pengcheng as the frontier position to block the Ming army's offensive momentum.

With the help of the Huai River and its tributaries, the Hanting navy could even reach Yanzhou as far as Yanzhou, and Yuzhou and Xuzhou were under its radiation.

The Ming Dynasty's navy is now a well-deserved overlord, and no one can match the tonnage or combat power. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best in the world.

After all, the Roman Empire, which was able to slightly compete with the Han Empire at this time, was only the main force of the navy, which was still using five-row oar-mounted warships.

Whether in terms of quality or quantity, the Ming Navy had to leave Rome more than just a piece.

However, the gap between the navy and the inland river naval division was too big. The Ming Navy was able to dominate the sea area, but it was difficult to enter the Huai River and the Yangtze River to check and balance the inland river naval divisions of the Hanting.

After all, due to the needs of the ocean, most of the Ming army warships were pointed-bottom warships rather than flat-bottom warships. A small number of flat-bottom warships were built to adapt to the wind and waves on the sea, and they were inevitably at a disadvantage when they were in confronting the tall tower ships of the Inner River Navy.

One is suitable for naval warfare and the other is suitable for inland water warfare. Naturally, the party with advantageous geographical location is more dominant.

Pengcheng is a strong city. If you really attack, you will have to bombard the city walls of Pengcheng at least for more than ten days.

There is also a urn city in Pengcheng, and a large number of defensive facilities, one of which was originally there, and the other part is the newly built facilities by the Han army during this period.

Even with the counterweight catapult cart, it is actually not a wise move to attack a strong city, and it will definitely cost the siege.

Zhao Yun stared at the closed door in front of him. The distance between the two miles was not very far for the war horses that were moving forward quickly.

What Zhao Yun was concerned about was that the gate of Pengcheng North City should be opened now, but it has not been opened for a long time.

...

Above the North City, there was a strong smell of blood in the air.

Han Qing was covered in blood, covered his abdomen, and stood in front of the winch at the city gate.

There were more than ten Han army soldiers standing upside down nearby.

In addition to the house, there are more bodies of Han soldiers.

Although he was responsible for guarding the North Gate, as a village hero, they were actually just external barriers, and the center was still controlled by the Han army's main army.

"What kind of these Zhang Wu's camp soldiers are really a bunch of crazy people..."

Han Qing looked pale, and the one in charge of the North Gate was the camp soldiers of Zhangwu Camp, with only more than one hundred people.

There were more than 3,000 people under his command, and more than 400 people who came to siege the city gate, and they all selected elite troops. Suddenly, they launched an attack. At the beginning, they did kill more than 20 soldiers from Zhangwu Camp who were guarding the city gate.

But unexpectedly, the soldiers of Zhangwu Camp not only did not collapse, but instead used the terrain of the city gate to resist stubbornly and even defeated them several times.

After the battle, the morale of his soldiers was getting lower and lower, and they were dispersed several formations.

Seeing the reinforcements coming from the East City to help, Han Qing finally took the sword into battle, and with his disciples and generals, he finally killed all the soldiers of Zhangwu Camp and arrived at the city gate where the city gate was controlled.

"Hurry open the city gate!"

Han Qing leaned against the wall, raised the ring-headed knife in his hand and pointed forward.

During the previous fierce battle, a spear pierced through the armor stomach he was wearing and stabbed his abdomen. Fortunately, because of the protection of the armor stomach, the spear did not penetrate too deeply, and at least it should not be fatal.

With the help of his personal guards, Han Qing looked at the city of Pengcheng.

The fire rose in the city, which was the action of the other Ming troops in the city.

Anyway, the plan is naturally impossible to be known to everyone, so only a small number of people know it, and many people make temporary notices before the incident.

In fact, Han Qing only knew who among the four families of Yingchuan were prepared to rebel.

The Eagle Wolf Guards were only in contact with them. In addition to the fact that the Four Family in Yingchuan had communicated with each other, which of the other powerful families wanted, anyway, which one had already contacted the Eagle Wolf Guards.

The Eagle and Wolf Guard did not tell them, but said that at that time, the person who was wearing the ochre yellow flag would be his friend, and he would be instructed to do something and stay where he was. Everything would be done according to the plan and no need to do anything else.

“It’s really useless…”

Han Qing leaned against the battlement of the city wall, and the pain from his abdomen made the cold sweat on his forehead flow down.

And just then, he heard a chaotic sound coming from the east.

"What's wrong with the east?"

Han Qing frowned and asked.

Everyone looked at each other and didn't know that because they were all next to Han Qing.

Han Qing's forehead was exposed and he cursed.

"If you don't know, go and investigate. Why are you all here for a moment?!"

"Do you want me to see it yourself?"

Han Qing was furious. He was really a group of teammates like pigs, and he didn't even know such a minimum thing.

When everyone saw Han Qing angry, someone went east to investigate.

When Han Qing received the news of the investigation, he could not suppress the anger in his heart.

"Are all the people guarding the east side a group of pigs?"

"More than a thousand people were rushed by more than two hundred people, and what was the battle? Nai Gong's!"

In anger, Han Qing ignored the pain in his abdomen. He grabbed the neck of the soldiers who came to report the news and cursed angrily.

He had also seen a group of people coming from Dongcheng to help Beicheng. He knew that someone might have discovered the situation on their side, so in desperation they all took the sword into battle.

At that time, he arranged for a general to take more than a thousand people to deploy defenses and rely on the city wall to resist reinforcements.

But now I told him that more than a thousand people did not block the reinforcements of more than two hundred people and were broken through the defense line.

"Where are they rushing to now!"

"It's still about half a mile away from my city gate, not far ahead."

Han Qing followed the fingers of the military soldiers who reported the news and saw the fiery red flag representing Cheng Yu.

Han Qing's expression changed suddenly. He had just glanced at it roughly without looking carefully. Now he realized it was Cheng Yu's flag.

"Why is this evil star coming..."

Han Qing cursed, and the military generals who could follow Cheng Yu were all elite soldiers in the army without exception. It was actually normal that these rural brave men under his command could not resist.

"Captain, what should we do now..."
To be continued...
