Iron Dynasty

Qingzhou.

A sudden spring rain heralds the end of the long winter.

Sitting at the door of the bedroom, Xiao Ming chatted with Fei Yue'er while eating melon seeds.

Since he ordered the capture of Jinling City, his nerves have collapsed every day, for fear that the battle of Jinling City will be a disastrous situation.

Your Highness has been frowning these days. Are you still worried about Jinling City? Fei Yue'er nibbled the melon seeds and put them on a plate.

Xiao Ming is the same, the husband and wife are very tacit understanding.

Yeah, it says that Ye Qingyun has also set off for twelve days. Regardless of success or failure, the news should come back. Xiao Ming sighed slightly, this war with Wei Di has been on and off for a year, and now The time has come for him to fully occupy the Wei land.

According to the news of Wang's return, King Zhao finally broke through Jianmenguan with the cooperation of barbarian fire and artillery half a month ago. Since then, the portal of Bashu has opened wide. Facing the iron cavalry of King Zhao and barbarians, he believes that King of Shu will not be able to last long. This world granary will be lost.

From then on, King Zhao will occupy Chang'an City, and with Bashu as the granary, he will be able to advance and retreat freely, and Wang Xuan also mentioned that King Zhao used a musket team this time. Since the Chang'an Rebellion, King Zhao has been producing arquebuses. A musket team of 15,000 people was used.

Although some of these muskets were sold to him by Xiao Ming at the beginning, this number was enough to show that King Zhao copied many arquebuses, and what worried him most was that King Zhao would hand over the arquebus technology to the barbarians.

After all, for the sake of kingship, one person will lose all bottom lines. King Zhao has already made himself a minister to the barbarians, and there is still nothing that can't be done now.

While the two were talking, a voice suddenly came, Your Highness, Jinling City has been conquered, and Ye Qingyun sent someone to bring over King Wei's Wang Yin.

This voice sounded in the distance, overpowering the pattering rain, and then Niu Ben came to the main hall under the light rain.

When he got close, Niu Ben bowed and said, I have seen the princess, I have seen your highness.

The Governor of Niu is exempted from the ceremony. Xiao Ming said, while Fei Yue'er nodded and walked into the hall, she always chose not to interfere in government affairs.

Niu Ben saluted and said, Your Highness, the general has just received good news from Jinling City from the end. Ye Qingyun has taken Jinling City, and King Wei is also imprisoned in Jinling City prison.

Really? Xiao Ming stood up from his chair, this time he couldn't help but get excited, because the fact that Jinling City was captured basically meant that the war in Wei land was coming to an end.

It's absolutely true. Niu Ben smiled, and he handed the Wang Yin in his hand to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming took over the jade carving of the king's seal, with the word Wei engraved on the bottom. He laughed out loud. This year, today is his happiest day. Although his feudal kingdom has developed in the past three years , but the overall wealth is still not as good as that of Wei Di.

Moreover, Wei Di has many cities and a large population, which in itself is a huge wealth.

As long as Wei land is won, not only will his products expand the market, but the financial problems of the feudal country will also be solved. This Wei land is not comparable to a granary in the world, but most of the granaries can still be compared.

Since this is the case, immediately order Lu Fei to attack Chuzhou, King Wei is captured, Xiao Han is trapped in Chuzhou City, and if we get Xiao Han again, Wei will be completely leaderless, this time we will take down the remaining city in Wei. Xiao Ming said.

Yes, Your Highness. Niu Ben nodded heavily.

Turning around and leaving, Niu Ben asked the scouts to send the news to the front line of Chuzhou in the rain. After receiving Niu Ben's order, Lu Fei officially prepared to launch an attack on Chuzhou City.

General, do you want to continue to starve the soldiers in the city for a few days. Luo Hong said to Lu Fei.

Holding the military order in his hand, Lu Fei looked at the listless soldiers in Chuzhou City and said, No need, now the soldiers in the city are probably starving crazy, you now let the logistics cook porridge in front of the camp, and send someone to tell the city at the same time. Soldiers, as long as you surrender, you will have porridge to drink.

Yes. Luo Hong nodded.

Ye Qingyun is really capable, but I won't lose to you. Lu Fei laughed.

A few days ago, the reinforcements sent by the King of Wei had come to Chuzhou City, but they seemed to have received the news that Jinling City was broken before they reached Chuzhou City. Chong, now they are scattered like birds and beasts, there is no need for them to do anything at all.

At that time, he just suspected that something happened to Jinling City, but now Niu Ben's military order has made him confirm the news of Jinling City's destruction, so he is not going to attack immediately, but is going to start a heart-to-heart battle.

Soon, Pao Ding of the Nanzheng Army carried the big iron pot to the front of Chuzhou City, and boiled rice porridge in front of the Chuzhou defenders. The soldiers of the Nanzheng Army formed a phalanx to guard the surrounding area.

The fire was lit, the porridge was cooked, and soon the thick fragrance of rice drifted towards the Chuzhou city wall along the north wind. The hungry defenders immediately looked at the iron pot outside the city.

At this time, a soldier with a loudspeaker took a few steps forward. The loudspeaker was shaped like a cone and rolled up with iron sheets. The soldier's voice traveled far through the loudspeaker.

Brothers in the city, are you hungry? Come out and eat porridge when you are hungry, our general said. As long as you put down your weapons, we will never kill you. We just got the news that Jinling City has been captured. Now, your King Wei has also been arrested, and the kingdom of Wei is already dead, so why should you sacrifice in vain.

The loud voice reached Chuzhou City, and the soldiers immediately made a noise,

Jinling City has been captured? How is this possible? The soldiers on the city were from Jinling City and belonged to the reinforcements from Jinling City. The words of the Nanzheng Army made them confused.

Why is it impossible, the firearms of the Southern Expedition Army are so powerful, and there are not many troops left in Jinling City, how can they stop the attack of King Qi's army. A soldier said.

Then what should we do? King Wei was also arrested. I don't want to die here in vain. Another soldier cried.

With the cries, the other reinforcement soldiers also felt a sense of sympathy. The problem they faced now was not that the city was besieged by the Southern Expedition Army, but that the food in the city was almost eaten in the past half a month.

A small city of Chuzhou is crowded with hundreds of thousands of troops. There is simply not enough food and grass in the city. They are already eating one meal a day, and it will not be long before they will have nothing to eat.

While the soldiers were talking, suddenly there was a sound of fighting at the gate of Chuzhou city, and then the inside of the city of Chuzhou city opened, and the soldiers of the Chuzhou army ran out of the city first.

These soldiers are Chen Wei's subordinates. When Chen Wei was imprisoned, they were dissatisfied with Xiao Han. In such a desperate situation, they had no intention of fighting again.

Send the arrows, kill them! The captain on the city wall shouted.

But after his order was issued, none of the soldiers on the city wall started, and they all looked at him strangely.
