Longshang, Diaoyin County.

The red sun was in the sky, giving this early winter afternoon warm. On weekdays, such a good weather afternoon made people doze off. However, at this time, the defenders in Shangxian Town were in a hurry to wear armor, carry spears and swords, and bent their bows, all looked like dirt, and their foreheads were filled with cold sweat.

This was not shining with the warm sun, but was shocked by the nearly 10,000 Chen army cavalry hundreds of steps below the city.

The Chen Qi, who suddenly appeared under the city, came up and gave a limited time to surrender.

Then there is a quarter of an hour that makes people feel terrified and hesitant.

The defenders on the city had not had time to make a decision, and a quarter of an hour had arrived. The Chen army under the city did not hesitate at all, but was afraid that a juncture of sounds would sound, dozens of war drums had been beaten, and the flags were waving and the battle flags were shaking.

The next moment, two cavalry suddenly ran out of the neat cavalry formation, with smoke and dust rolling behind them, but there were dozens or hundreds of chariots dragging behind the horse.

The war horse galloped down to the city and stopped a hundred and fifty steps. The knight quickly turned over and dismounted, and quickly pushed the chariot to set up a series of long arrays in front of the city gate.

A general Chen Jun next to the chariot waved a small red flag, and then he heard a sudden thunder sound, and a sound like a landslide was broken. The next moment, a stream of white smoke came out of Chen Jun's chariot position, and then he could only hear the whistling sounds on his head, and then one after another of the missiles with fireworks and smoke fell down.

Rumble...

The city was densely packed with dense crowds. As if hundreds of defenders standing with guns against the enemy were blown up, they were blown up in an instant. The battlements collapsed and corpses were everywhere.

Three rapid fires of one hundred small and lightweight assembled lightning-throwing vehicles and three hundred burst bombs immediately took away the morale of the defenders in the county town.

When the three-round shooting stopped, before Chen Jun prepared for the next round of shooting, a white flag was raised on the top of the city wall.

Several defenders shouted in a panic on the city: "I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender!"

However, Chen Jun under the city seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the garrison of the county that he surrendered after fighting. The young commander of the Mo Qilin Baojia under the Black Flying Eagle Battle Flag did not immediately accept it.

The commander did not accept the surrender and issued an order to stop the attack. Of course, Lao Liu from the Engineering Battalion would not give up at this time.

"Three burst bombs are freely ejected and released!" Liu Deshui, the captain of the engineering battalion, shook his arms, and waved the red flag in his right hand. A hundred light-assembled lightning-throwing vehicles that had just been expelled were firing again.

There were so many wolves on the top of the city. Although the defenders tried their best to dodge, it was very difficult to avoid the broken nails and porcelain pieces that exploded from the explosion bomb. If you are not careful, you will be sieve by the shrapnel that exploded beside you, and those who are more unlucky will even be cut into pieces.

The fierce attack of Chen's army made the defenders in the city desperate. During this period, several houses near the city gate tower and the city wall caught fire. The fire took advantage of the wind and the entire city seemed to burn. In despair, the defenders in the city organized two breakthroughs. Unfortunately, there were nearly 10,000 Chen's light cavalry outside the city. Apart from the baptism of several rounds of dense rain of arrows, they had to retreat to the city helplessly.

It was not until two quarters of an hour later that Chen Kedi, who was under the Flying Eagle Battle Flag, finally waved his hand with a cold face to stop the attack.

By this time, there was no longer any sign of resistance in Shangxian Town.

A small army of Chen Jun successfully opened the city gate and entered the city.

There were originally five thousand defenders in Shangxian Town, but most of them were old and weak, and many were actually private soldiers of the generals who defended the city. Hundreds of them died in the first round of artillery bombardment, and then nearly a thousand died after breaking through. The rest had already dispersed, took off their battle robe, threw away their swords and soldiers, and fled into the people's homes.

When Chen Jun entered the city, there were still many people running around the streets like headless flies. Most of them were killed by Chen Jun when they encountered him. A few people who threw their weapons and knelt down when they saw Chen Jun, which was considered a life-saving.

By the time Chen Kedi and Hu Hai and other generals led their troops into the city, they had already seen a team of four or five hundred people heading straight towards them.

Before Chen Jun could step forward, the group of people had already thrown their swords and guns down and all knelt down.

The first one was an obese man in a long robe and jade belt. He knelt there and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

"God of your life, don't kill villains, villains surrender. Don't kill villains, villains are useful!"

Chen Kedi looked at the fat guy with some contempt and said, "Who are you? Come and sign up quickly. Let me tell you what you are for. I can't tell you, so I will drag it down and kill it with one knife."

The man crawled on the ground, his head next to the ground, and his knees were rolling and he walked all the way to Chen Kedi and others. He was covered in mud and soil, his clothes were mostly dirty, his face was burned and his face was dark, and he kowtowed and thumped again. He said in a trembling voice: "Little man Liu Shiguang, I have seen all grandpas."

"If I had known this, why wouldn't I surrender at the beginning?" Chen Kedi said coldly. He did not accept the surrender in the city just now, but instead wanted to attack and kill like this, of course, to establish his authority. Although the emperor's intention this time was to send 100,000 troops into Longshang.

However, there are only 50,000 people who can enter Longshang, and the pioneers are only 10,000 of them, and the ones who have to line up to cross the river. Moreover, in a short while, although people can arrive, logistics, food, grass, equipment and other materials cannot be transported immediately.

At this time, the war has begun, and the news that Chen Jun crossed the river here will definitely not be concealed for long. Now he is determined to attack without preparation, so the road will naturally go smoothly. But next time, he will definitely have to fight against Liu Wuzhou, and he may even face the Yuwen family's troops.

Therefore, in the shortest time, Chen Kedi also needed to build a logistics base in Longshang. Shangxian is the closest city to the Yellow River Cable Bridge, and the city is still quite solid. In Chen Kedi's plan, he wanted to use this place as a temporary rear base, and the food and grass transported from behind, and even the troops in the near future have to be sent to collect food and grass, and in the end they have to be temporarily transported here.

If Chen Jun and Liu Wuzhou fail temporarily in the battle, they will still have a place to rely on. Only by advancing can they attack and retreat can they defend.

However, in order to avoid any bad intentions of the people in the city, Chen Kedi planned to show his thunderous means and shock them so as not to make trouble in the future.

Liu Shiguang was trembling: "The little one was originally a local rich man. At that time, the Liang army raised an army and brought up a rebellion. Later, he appointed him as the prefect of Diaoyin County. After the Liang army was fired by Liu Wu and Zhou, the little one was demoted to the county magistrate of Shangxian. How dare the little one fight against the Tianjun? When the general led the army before, the little one proposed to open the city and surrender. However, the prefect Yang Du and the garrison general Ma Wu were both confidants of Liu Wuzhou and refused to surrender. Although the little one was willing, he was powerless."

"What about Yang Du and Ma Wu?"

Liu Shiguang quickly turned around and waved his hand back, and the group of people behind him immediately walked out of the two.

The two walked up, holding a head in their hands. Liu Shiguang smiled and said, "When the general said, Xiaodi was determined to look at Da Chen. Seeing these two people resisting the Heavenly Army, he took advantage of the opportunity of war just now to stab the two people to death. Now he specializes in the heads of the two people."

Liu Shiguang was originally a local tyrant in the county, and he was considered a local tyrant. When the Liang army raised an army, he followed the private soldiers of the serfs to respond and obtained the position of Diaoyin prefect. Later, after Liu Wuzhou swallowed the Liang army, he regarded him as a subordinate of Liang, demoted him to the county magistrate, and sent two of his subordinates, Yang Du and Ma Wu, to serve as the prefect and the garrison general. The three of them were originally incompatible.

Now that Chen's army is coming to attack, Liu Shiguang is certainly willing to join Chen's army without hesitation. However, although he has a subordinate, he cannot kill Yang Du and Ma Wu. When Yang Du and Ma Wu attacked before, Yang Du was in trouble and was really blown to his chest. When he broke through the siege behind, Ma Wu died under the arrow, but Liu Wuguang was shameless and cut off the heads of the two bodies, but he said that he was assassinating the two of them to respond.

Chen Ketui didn't care about this. Anyway, he was just a local snake. If such a person was willing to surrender, it would be convenient for Chen Jun to control the local area. He ignored whether he was sincere or false. In the face of Chen Jun's absolute strength, a small character like Liu Shiguang could not make any waves. "You said you have great use, but you don't know what it is?"

Liu Shiguang smeared the stain on his face and said flatteringly: "The villain has reported a major military situation. I heard that Liu Wuzhou recently ordered the troops of various counties to go to Pingliang County to gather. It is said that he was to form a coalition with various countries and prepare to send troops to attack Dachen."

This news is not surprising. Pingliang County is in the northwest of Chang'an, and to the south of Pingliang is Xiaoguan, one of the famous four gateways in Guanzhong. It is the northwest gateway of Guanzhong. Entering Xiaoguan is Guanzhong. Exit Xiaoguan, the northwest is Xueju in Longyou, and the northeast is Liu Wuzhou in Longshang. This time, the various countries formed an alliance to send troops. According to the news obtained by the Chen army, the coalition forces were divided into two groups. Among them, the four countries of Xu, Zhou, Qin and Liang sent 100,000 troops, Xu State as the main force, 50,000 troops, Xue Ju 20,000, Liu Wu Zhou 30,000, and Li Gui gave food, grass and military salaries.

Xu Shiji frowned, and he stepped forward and asked coldly, "How can you, a small county magistrate, know such a secret matter?"

Liu Guangshi hurriedly said, "The villain has a fellow clan who works in the prefect's mansion. Three days ago, Yang Du and Ma Wu were drinking in the prefect's mansion. My fellow clan accidentally heard it." His fellow clan was actually just a spy he arranged in the Yang Du mansion. Xu Shiji naturally understood this matter, but he had already believed it seven or eight points.

This further confirmed his conjecture, and turned to Chen Kedi and said, "This time, Liu Wuzhou only had to send 30,000 troops to the coalition forces of various countries, but now he has fully dispatched elite subordinates from all over the country. This seems a bit strange."

There is Longshan Mountain in Pingliang County, Xiaoguan, and even the border between Xu, Zhou and Qin. At this moment, Liu Wu and Zhou formed all their troops here, which seemed to imply some conspiracy. Chen Kedi thought for a while and laughed: "Pingliang is in the west, we are in the east. No matter what conspiracy Liu Wuzhou is in the sky, this is great news for us. In this way, Long is empty, and it is our opportunity to destroy Zhou in one fell swoop."
