Ladders were ladders on the city wall, and arrows were raining on the city wall. The thieves held their shields high, hunched over, and climbed up the ladder like a bunch of ants. Behind them, teams of archers were shooting at the officers and soldiers on the city wall, and tried their best to cover their siege.

The fork rod and the impact rod show their skills. From time to time, a cloud ladder was seen being flipped over by the officers and soldiers with the fork rod. The loud horses climbing on it screamed and fell to the ground. Or a few soldiers held the impact rod and rushed together, knocking the ladder to collapse. The loud horses wailed and fell into the deep trench below, like a group of ants that were shot down by people. However, the officers and soldiers who were charging in front were inevitably shot by arrows and fell to the ground.

Climbing the city along the cloud ladder is called ants. Their bodies and movements are really like ants, and their lives are undoubtedly as humble as ants. In this madness of human nature, the value of life has long disappeared, and fresh lives are harvested very cheaply.

People gather like ants, swords and swords, shouting and killing the sky.

The stone-piercing machine was destroyed, and the sound horses that attacked the city were unique and carried the "smoke bombs" processed by the local method with them. After igniting them, they climbed the ladder and threw them onto the city wall. These thieves were indeed talented in destroying the city. The black smoke on the top of the city was filled with spicy and choking, which made the guards cry. In mid-June, the weather was hot and the wind was not seen. The leaves of the willow trees were drooping weakly, and the smoke attack was very effective.

Arrows kept shuttled through the air, intertwining into a dense net, constantly harvesting human lives. The attacking soldiers held swords and shields, braved the rolling wood, rocks and arrows that flew from time to time, and the soldiers who resisted on the city wall were often caught in arrows. Such offensive and defensive battles were not fancy, they were completely real fighting, killing people, courage, and no one could survive first.

This time, it seems that Liu Liu couldn't stand it anymore, and the huge casualties in the area gave him a lot of psychological pressure. The other two armies attacked the other two city gates respectively and were also subjected to the same crazy counterattack. The weapons of the officers and soldiers were originally better than him, and this counterattack seemed to be more determined than the previous two times, and the counterattack power was stronger. Liu Liu began to feel retrenched.

Yang Ling noticed that the enemy's offensive was getting weaker, so he smiled at Song Xiaoai and said, "Those who divide the troops to defend the troops have no intention of fighting. Those who take the initiative to challenge will never give their full efforts in the first battle. Liu Liu is about to withdraw his troops."

Song Xiaoai never doubted it, and nodded immediately, which made Yang Ling unable to perform, and she felt itchy and unsexy for a moment.

Sure enough, with the issuance of Liu Liu's military order, the sound of shouting and charging gradually weakened. The horse army dropped the corpses and began to gradually retreat, retreating to the post road in the distance. The defenders at the city were greatly encouraged, and the horse thieves had withdrawn from the arrows, and the cannons on the city were still roaring, hunting more lives by taking advantage of the opportunity.

Commander Luo, who won a great victory, was very happy. Although he defeated Xiangma's attack in the first few times and won the victory, he was very worried. The troops in his hands were all ambitious. He could not focus all his energy on command and combat. In order to smoothly dispatch and cooperate with each other, he had to smile and say something to the generals of several armies with complex sources. This was the first time that he had a great fight and was so happy.

The city gate was opened and the suspension bridge was lowered. The soldiers were ordered to quickly remove obstacles such as burned carts at the city gate, and then moved the horse-repelling guns arranged by the sound of horses. Then more than 2,000 cavalrymen in the city were ready to go and rushed out of the city. They were wearing soft-hearted armor, holding sharp spears and sabers in their hands, and chased Liu Liu's defeated army with murderous intent.

Liu Liu had no intention of fighting at this time. He wanted Dezhou City, not these two thousand cavalrymen who took advantage of the victory. However, most of his team were cavalry, and he was not afraid of the two thousand cavalry in the city. The result of these two thousand cavalrymen only accelerated their departure. In fact, these cavalry did not dare to chase too far. The cavalry was mainly cavalry, and the power was not worse than theirs. Suddenly, the audit was suddenly robbed by the horse and the road was cut off, and then they would be wiped out.

Two thousand cavalrymen were forced to leave for a while and then they circled their horses back. They stood at the bend of the post road to monitor the movements of Liu Liu's army, so as not to kill them. The defenders in the city began to deal with the post war, rescued the wounded soldiers, repaired the city walls, and gathered weapons. Some of them happily left the city, picked up swords and guns, cleaned the battlefield, and cleaned up the bodies.

It is June now, and the weather is hot. If the corpses are not properly disposed of, so many people have accumulated in the city. Once the plague spreads, it will cause a disaster. The bodies of the thieves were dragged to a secluded place in the forest and several large pits were dug. The officers and soldiers stripped the thieves naked and like throwing them into the pit one by one like a dead dog, including some who have not yet died, who are missing arms and legs screamed and moaned, and then dig the soil without any mercy, and then bury them in a hard and down-to-earth manner.

In troubled times, people's lives are like grass, and no one cares about their life and death, especially the opponent who is just fighting for the death. If they were not worried about the spread of the disease, no one would pay attention to their bodies. They would only let the dog chew on the eagle and eventually become a pile of bones by the roadside.

The robes that the horse robbed were covered with a large amount of property. These bandits fought at any time and left at any time, and had no place to live. They naturally carried important property with them. They attacked cities and plundered the land, robbed and raped, and their bodies were gold leaves, silver croakers, copper coins and treasures, women's jewelry, and everything worth a little money was used.

A few robes were spread out on the ground, and the soldiers monitored each other, and still gathered all the property in the land under the supervision of the officers according to the previous rules. During the military parade, Duke Wei said personally that the property obtained from killing the enemy on the battlefield belonged to him and did not have to be handed over. However, it was a bit difficult to implement it in detail.

First of all, this is not a hand-to-hand combat between the two armies. Even the soldiers cannot kill one and search, and ignore the battle around them. Furthermore, the war is a coordinated cooperation between the soldiers and mutual assistance to complete the land. They cannot completely engage in bandits.

Commander Luo was quite scheming. He ordered the soldiers to hand over the property they received in a concentrated manner, and after the joint estimate, the combat soldiers were allocated. The most casualties needed to be paid for the casualties, the second was the front-line combat soldiers, and the second was the logistics supply. The distribution ratio was determined based on the property they received each time.

This method is very fair, and the soldiers naturally have no objection. The lives of the logistics supply personnel are very low, but if they participate in the war, they can get a reward. They regard this foreign wealth as earned by the soldiers who directly participated in the war. The logistics support work is even more laborious, and they become extremely enthusiastic about the soldiers, which is very happy.

Yang Ling was very satisfied when he saw Luo Shiquan's war was very well-organized and had some talent in management. He handled it perfectly in this way. He recruited a personal soldier and asked him to tell Commander Luo to handle the aftermath with peace of mind, and then returned to the headquarters first. Then, he led the people away without waiting for him to see him off.

If it is time to report to himself, Commander Luo will come to pay his respects when he looks back, but he doesn't need to stay there now. If he wins this battle, this honor and authority are Luo Shiquan. He has to give him some time and space to digest, give him a chance to show off, and win the recognition of his subordinates. He is not willing to be more relaxed, which will help establish his personal authority.

Wu Hanchao followed Yang Ling and whispered: "Duke, how about Commander Luo?"

Yang Ling smiled unanimously and said, "After this battle, I am not worried about Commander Luo, but I don't know what's going on now."

The big stick had a scattered head and a mess. He was wearing a torn pants that almost exposed his hips. He was wearing a black lacquered short jacket on his upper body, a big hole was cracked behind his shoulders, and he couldn't even cover his belly button at the bottom. He had a pair of black cloth shoes with big toes exposed under his feet. He hung a broken bowl next to his belt, and a strong jujube-wood dog beater in his hand. He looked like a refugee and beggar.

This image makes people cry with tears of sympathy when they see it. If Xiaoyun girl from the Duke's Mansion saw it, it would be strange if the Yellow River was not flooded. Big Bangmao looked up and Qingzhou City was looking at it. Seeing that the scene was ten miles away, he couldn't help but sigh and murmured: "Damn it, it's been here!"

After saying that, Dabangmao fell on the soil slope with a loud bang, holding his dog-beating stick tightly in his hand. The slope was covered with messy weeds and there was soft and rich soil under his body. It seemed that this place should have been a fertile hillside, but now it is completely deserted.

Before Yang Ling could reorganize his army, Dabangcui left the capital and ran to Shandong. He traveled all the way south and north, and almost walked through several important towns and cities that were defending him. Qingzhou was the last place. He was from Shandong and dressed up and spoke in Shandong accent. No matter where he went, in this place where the war was most wary of foreign accents, Dabangcui did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

But it is difficult to endure this journey. Entering the city is the court, and entering and exiting is difficult to reach the sky. Leaving the city is the world of bandits, the White Army, the Mongol Army, bandits, water thieves, bandits, bandits, and even the original gangsters, with many teams as many as crucians crossing the river.

Shandong has many heroes since ancient times, but when there are many heroes, they often use martial arts to instigate the ban. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, there are Red Eyebrows, Green Forests in the Western Han Dynasty, Zhishilang at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Huang Turban at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Xianzhi at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao at the Song Dynasty, Liangshan at the Ming Dynasty, Saier at the Ming Dynasty, etc. As for other indiscriminate situations or those who have emerged from chaos, there are countless others.

These Shandong heroes truly rebelled successfully and were able to break up the land and become marquises and become kings and generals. There were only a few people like Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin at the end of the Sui Dynasty. However, as long as someone succeeded, someone would follow suit.

As Dabangcui traveled along the way, dozens of rebel teams of all sizes, some of which were just broken and their families were in trouble with one person, so they had to gather dozens or hundreds of people to rely on their large crowds to make the most of their power and not be bullied by others.

Two days ago, Dabangcui was pulled into the gang by a team of more than 70 people. The leader was named Tie Niu. Seeing that Liu Dabangcui was about the same size as himself and was strong, he invited him to join the gang with great affection. Dabangcui did not refuse, and followed Tie Niu for two and a half days, and was finally driven out by Tie Niu and his accomplices.

Dabangcui was a timid guy who was as robbed as a mouse and charged behind the back when he was eating, and a person's appetite was almost as high as three. The leader of the Iron Niu couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to endure the pain and expel his beloved general. Liu Dabangcui left the rebellion team and continued his own journey.

After entering Qingzhou, there were obviously fewer people. Here, the soldiers and bandits were the most violent and the disaster was the most serious. Many people escaped from the thief and fled into the mountains in the city. Some people even simply packed up and fled back to their hometown in Shanxi, so it seemed deserted and wild. It was very desolate.

Many people in Shandong immigrated to Shanxi. Shandong was the main battlefield when the Han and Mongolian wars at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were extremely few people, and there was no rooster crowing thousands of miles away, and people disappeared. So Zhu Yuanzhang immigrated from Shanxi to Shandong.

The King of Yan lasted for four years during the Jingnan period, killing countless people. The roads were blocked, the fields were wild, six or seven hundred miles from east to west, and nearly a thousand miles from north to south. It was almost a thousand miles from north to south. Shandong was also the main battlefield. The population was greatly reduced due to war, drought, locust plague, and plague. So after Zhu Di succeeded, he followed his father and immigrated from Shanxi, who was relatively stable around the mountains.

At that time, the most immigrants were Dongchang Prefecture (now Liaocheng), Jinan Prefecture, Yanzhou Prefecture, Laizhou Prefecture, and Qingzhou Prefecture. The people were unwilling to leave their hometowns. In order to prevent immigrants from escaping, the officers and soldiers tied the people's hands with ropes and tied them up in a string for supervision. During the escort, when people needed to urinate and defecate, they begged the officers and soldiers to untie their hands. It is said that the convenience is now called "removal".

Now they have moved here for only more than a hundred years, and many people know their hometowns from their fathers and grandparents. When Shandong is in chaos, the government loses its binding force, and all the households and roads are useless. Therefore, some families simply flee their families and travel thousands of miles to escape back to Shanxi. This situation in Qingzhou is particularly serious, so as soon as Liu Dabangcui entered the Qingzhou territory, he could hardly see a few people, and it was not easy to stutter.

He lay on the dirt slope, narrowed his eyes, rested for a while, accumulated enough strength, turned over and got up and continued to walk forward.

Qingzhou City has been blocked. The white-clothed army attacked Qingzhou City several times, which scared King Heng so much that his life and his family were in Qingzhou, so he gathered all the troops and horses of nearby prefectures and counties in Qingzhou City, and then blocked the entire city in order to protect himself.

Now the white-clothed army has turned to attack Tai'an City, and the place has calmed down. His Highness Heng still refused to open the city or the army. Officials went out of the city to clear out small bandits and appease the local people. He completely gave up on the outside of the city and the counties and towns he attached to. He allowed the bandits to run rampant, and the people died on their own. He only wanted to be safe. The governor of Qingzhou Luo Shaohua was a clean official, but during the war, the vassal kings had no choice but to have the power to control local military and political affairs without the imperial edicts.

When Liu Dabangcui arrived at the city of Qingzhou, he saw that the brick wall was covered with scars, some places had rammed earth exposed, and several arrows on the top of the city were smashed. You can imagine how fierce the battle had been suffered.

The big knot was already hungry. After finally reaching the city, he didn't want to look around. He immediately raised his head and shouted, "Kaicheng! Open the city! Let me in quickly!"

The defenders on the city wall had already seen him staggering, just a beggar. They were too lazy to take the bow and arrow. They stood at the city wall and smiled at Dabangmai, "Silly, Your Highness Heng has an order to close Qingzhou, and the city is not allowed to enter outside or out inside. You can escape somewhere else."

"Fuck! I am the special envoy of the court. I am under the order of the imperial envoy to suppress the bandits and the Duke of Wei, Lord Yang, who has important instructions to enter the city to convey. Why don't you let me in quickly?"

The defenders on the city wall laughed: "Hahaha, don't joke. Two days ago, a grandson pretended to be Duke Yansheng Gong, and asked me to urinate and drank it. Are you the special envoy of Duke Wei of Jingli? I said silly, please change your Laiyang accent first and say directly that you are Duke Wei?"

Dabangmai was both angry and funny. He stared at the city and yelled and explained, and his throat was smoking. The defenders at the city simply retracted and ignored him.

Liu Dabangcui scratched his ears and faces, and suddenly had a plan and shouted to the officers and soldiers on the front of the city: "Official, official, I'm actually the long-term worker of the Wang Lao Qianzhu's family in the neighboring county. My family was robbed by white clothes. A large piece of gold brick was stolen from the small land and escaped alone. But I don't even have a stuttering floor now. You raise your hand and let me go into the city. As long as you go in, the gold brick is yours."

Swipe the ground on the top of the city, seven or eight heads appeared, one of them staring at the same time as a bun. One of them saw that the military uniform was a general. He glared at the eyes and looked up and down at the big stick, and laughed: "Boy, are there gold bricks hidden on you?"

If Liu Dabangcui said that he was the rich man or the eldest son of the rich man's family, no one would believe him, but he said that he was a landlord and stole his master's property while the chaos was in trouble. This was common during wars, and the defenders on the front of the city would not doubt it.

"Yes, yes, I'm so pretty, the thief was too lazy to search for me after seeing it. So I kept it. I thought I had made money and opened a small shop after I settled down, but now I can't live anymore. Master, you are merciful..."

"Hehehe, don't worry, as long as it is true, I will put you in. Xiao Liuer, Liuzi, go and get a rope, tie a basket, and ask him to put the gold bricks into the basket, verify the authenticity first."

A close soldier next to him, Yu Xiao whispered: "Second brother, Prince Heng has issued an order. Do you really want to let him in?"

The general curled his lips and said, "Let him in? He is so beautiful! Mom. Isn't he just a long-time worker who steals his master's property and escapes away? It would be nice if I don't send him to the office. I'm caught him with pain and I'm caught him in a loss. Do you dare to fart after being silenced? Wait for the bricks to come to the city and let him go. Hehe, the soldiers are in chaos, this kid is either a thief or starve to death. It's nothing big."

Xiao Yu smiled and gave a thumbs up quietly.

Xiao Liuzi found a rope, tied a lime basket and went down the city. Liu Dabangchui turned his back to them, threw and put it on the ground, breaking a small piece of the top of the dog-beating stick, and exposed a piece of yellow silk inside. Liu Dabangchui took it out, picked up a piece of broken bricks on the ground and put it in the basket.

The defenders at the top of the city saw that he was holding his butt up and didn't know what to do. Several holes in his pants that were not obvious were clearly exposed at this time. They couldn't help but laugh and laughed.

After Liu Dabangchui finished, he straightened his waist and shouted to the top of the city: "Official, he has put it in the basket."

Yu Xiao was excited and hurriedly grabbed it. He and Xiao Liuzi quickly pulled the basket up. After a while, a brick flew down the city. He poked the head out of the emperor and scolded fiercely: "Baolao, use a brick to fool your grandfather?"

Liu Dabangchui hid for a moment, crossed his hands and laughed: "You can tell me your words, brother, that brick is worthless, the things that wrap bricks are worth old money, you can see clearly!"

He lit up his eyes and said in a lost voice: "Damn it, is it a real estate deed? Hurry up, come and take it to me."

He held Huang Ling in his hand, looked horizontally and vertically, and said after a long time, "Xiao Liu, aren't you reading a word? I'm just thinking about it. What's the thing on top?"

Xiao Liuzi studied in a private school and was very gentle. He was often called by others. He heard this and hurriedly took Huang Ling, shook his head and said, "The Emperor Chengyun of Heaven, and the imperial edict said...."

When he was reading this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He opened his mouth and looked up at Mr. Bar, stared at him with his eyes and stammered, "What...what...what?"

"Holy…..Holy…..Imperial Order!"

"The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: 'The Duke of Wei, Yang Ling, deputy commander of the four armies outside the Beijing camp, went out to suppress the bandits. Shandong military and political affairs, all the members were subject to the control. Those who violated the orders were executed immediately."

King Heng Zhu Youqian, the deputy general of the garrison in Qingzhou, Zheng Hongfei, the deputy general of the garrison in Qingzhou, the deputy general Fang Qingyun, the prefect Luo Shaohua and other officials of all sizes climbed up from the ground one by one. Liu Dabangcui stood on the side with a dog-beating stick, and took the Ministry of War from the small gap hollowed out of the dog-beating stick. There were already seals of the generals, prefects, guerrillas, garrisons and other officials along the way along Jinan Prefecture.

Liu Dabangcui stretched out his face and said loudly: "This is the last stop. We must immediately send someone to contact the nearby cities and delegate the news to Dezhou in turn so that the Duke of the State knows that the orders are already under the orders. As for the specific orders, due to the serious matters, the Duke of the State is not allowed to write, and it must be known by the prince and all the masters."

"Yangling sent people to attack the Qingzhou defenders." His Highness Heng thought that one hundred people were unwilling to accept it, and one thousand were unhappy. But the beggar in front of him came with the emperor's imperial edict. What the above said was clearly that Shandong's military and political affairs were controlled by Yangling. Whoever dared to disobey was to deceive the king. King Heng did not have the courage to rebel.

What's more, the six coastal provinces won a great victory in the battle against Japanese devils under Yangling's command. The officers and soldiers of these provinces were full of confidence in him. Especially during that period, Yangling strictly enforced military discipline, abolished the Kang people of the combat troops, and rewarded them according to military merits. A large number of the middle and low-level generals replaced the mediocre and ineffective former generals in this battle, and had just been promoted to local officers.

Although these young and strong officers highly praised Yang Ling. The senior generals benefited a lot from the anti-Japanese war and were very happy to obey Yang Ling. The deputy general in front of him was promoted to the ground because of his merits in fighting against the Japanese. When they heard Liu Dabangcui want to dictate Yangling's orders, they rushed forward and surrounded Dabangcui.

Seeing this, King Heng couldn't help but be worried: "You can't make any mistakes in our palace. What are you sending someone to Qingzhou to mess with?"

Yang Ling did not rush back to the headquarters directly, but wandered around the city for a while. The residents in the city were quieter and tens of thousands of troops were stationed. For the ignorant people, it was a guarantee of life. Although they had heard that the stolen horse thieves were powerful, the stolen horse thieves had not successfully captured such a military fortress so far, nor had they ever confronted such a head-on battle with so many armies. The people in the city were still very dependent on officers and soldiers.

When Yang Ling walked around and rushed back to the headquarters, Luo Shiquan and Qiao Sihai led a large group of smiling generals to come, and the civil servants in charge of local civil affairs also came to celebrate.

Yang Ling met them at the door and entered the mansion with a laugh. As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw a big man standing naked at the mouth of the wellhead of the Youyuan Garden, lifting up a large bucket of cool well water, pouring it on his body with a "wow" sound, then suddenly waved his head. The water splashed everywhere, and he laughed and said, "Cool, cool, the place is dry and hot, hotter than ours. Haha, the well water is still cooler."

This man was covered in healthy flesh, dark skin, and his muscles were erect and moved in his manner, as if filled with endless bursts of force. Such a strong body was a hero. Hearing his voice, Yang Ling was stunned at first, and then tentatively called: "Peng Xiaoyang!"

The man suddenly turned around and saw Yang Ling. His big eyes suddenly glared and laughed happily: "Haha, Lord Yang is back! Bei Zhi is looking for you at the top of the city. The officers and soldiers are not allowed to climb the city. Bei Zhi is the hot man, so he will come back first." Peng Xiaoyang said, strode and bowed over, "Bei Zhi has met Lord!"

He was soaked with water on his body, and his pants were dragging the soup with water. He clasped his fists and raised his hand, and the water droplets splashed on Yang Ling's face. Several civil servants next to him couldn't help frowning. Yang Ling knew that this kid was used to being a pirate, and he would be short of joining the officers and soldiers. It would be good to know etiquette and maintain military discipline. These red tapes didn't matter.

He liked this honest tiger general very much, so he smiled and helped him up and said, "Xiaoyang, when I saw the Jiangnan Navy flag at Shuiximen today, I knew it was yours, but I didn't expect that you were leading the team in person. Haha, I haven't seen you for half a year, you have become stronger, as strong as steel."

Peng Xiaoyang smiled and said, "The dry road is full of bandits, and the water road is not quiet. The things transported this time are too important. They are presented to you. I can't worry if I don't escort them personally. I was going to be sent to the capital by land. I heard from the road that you were ordered to Shandong. This is a good thing, and it's a waste of trouble."

Yang Ling was surprised in his heart. He didn't know what important things he had to escort and deliver them to himself. In front of so many people, he led them to the martial arts hall first. Yang Ling introduced Peng Xiaoyang, Commander Luo and others to know each other while walking. As soon as he entered the martial arts hall, Peng Xiaoyang slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot to say, sir..."

As soon as he said this, several people sitting next to the left and right courts of the martial arts hall had already stood up. One of them immediately shouted: "Yang!"

Then a tall figure had quickly walked to Yang Ling. The man had bright features and noble temperament. He was wearing the military uniform of a Ming army general. His clothes were well-tailed, and his slender waist was outlined with graceful appearance, which made his tall and plump figure full of temptation.

With long brown hair, deep blue eyes, tears, moistening jade smile, deep eyes and high nose, this is a beautiful woman with a unique exotic style, temperament, beauty and figure, all perfect, and pretty like a rose blooming in dew.

She grabbed Yang Ling's hand and her cheeks were flushed with excitement. Because she was too happy, she couldn't speak for a moment. Yang Ling was stunned for a while before exclaiming: "Adni, why are you here?"

Adni's eyes were affectionate and looked at him with infinite tenderness, but she murmured softly in her trembling voice: "Yang, I miss you so much."
To be continued...
