Chapter 879 The Fisherman's Profit (Supplement 6.13)

"Report!" The scout said immediately after standing still, not being forced by the laughter beside him, "Li Xiao's troops outside the city already intend to retreat!"

Xia Zhaoyi nodded: "I made an appointment with General Song. It is about this time. As soon as Li Xiao retreats, Gao Zhoulang will immediately control Lin Yao's remaining troops and open the city gate."

"Yes!"

The scout got on his horse and left.

Xia Zhaoyi turned around and said, "Vice General Xia Zhi."

"Second miss!"

"Speed ​​two hundred soldiers and horses to Nancheng to assist General Gao Zhoulang."

"Yes!"

Xia Zhi went to dispatch troops immediately.

All the officers and men of the Xia family army were overjoyed.

"Second Miss," Xia Xingming stepped forward excitedly, with tears in his eyes, "Li Xiao has really retreated! Second Miss is clever, strategizing, and employing troops like a god!"

Xia Chuan also stepped forward: "We only have more than [-] people, and the second lady was able to take this city, and even got these grains!!"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly: "No, I'm not sure about it either."

For example, she expected that Li Xiao would not retreat away from Peifeng, but she did not expect Li Xiao to launch a fierce attack directly.

Li Xiao's level of recklessness exceeded her prediction.

Also, she just wanted to rob food and grass and left, after all, they really only had 300 people, and no matter how poor Lin Yao was, Peifeng City still had [-] soldiers and horses.

Originally, they planned to scare people and rob as much as they could, but when the defenders at the south gate came to support the north gate, they had already left.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiao launched a siege.

Just because Li Xiao consumed Peifeng City's troops in front, the snipe and clam fought against each other, and the fisherman benefited.

And... She just wanted to make a robbery, and now she had to find a future for Peifeng City.

·
Song Qingtang's soldiers and horses are actually not many, only 500 in total.

But the night is too thick, and it is not difficult for 500 people to create the momentum of a thousand people.

Li Xiao was furious when soldiers and horses were dispatched from the North City Gate. At the same time, it came from behind that thousands of cavalry from the northeast were coming south.

Li Xiao knew that it was what Mr. Cai He said, that Ah Li led the troops.

Ali, Ali, Ali.

These two words are completely a hindrance in Li Xiao's heart.

The city gate is actually broken.

The outer city gate is damaged, and the inner city gate will be destroyed.

Originally, he wanted to break through the city in one go, win the seal first, and let Ali suffer outside.

In the end, it was he who rushed forward with enthusiasm and underestimated the copper wall of Peifeng City.

And continue to attack, or retreat?

To attack and win the seal, it's only a matter of time.

If he retreats, he has no power to continue, and Ali is behind.

No matter how impulsive or reckless, Li Xiao had to make plans for the future and his subordinates.

He can only retreat, has to retreat.

The Nancheng defenders of Peifeng City watched them retreat, and they didn't even have the strength to cheer.

There were corpses all over the ground, and there were countless casualties. They were not happy at all, only despair.

Lu Bin, one of the five generals appointed by Lin Yao, was paralyzed on the ground, looking at the mess on the ground: "This wave is over, what about next time?"

They had no soldiers and horses, and lost more than half of the battle. The corpses under the gravel and logs were still alive and kicking in the morning.

"Next time?" A male voice came from the inner city, "Isn't this coming?"

Lu Bin was startled and hurriedly stood up.

Gao Zhou brought people on horseback.

Although Lin Yao's soldiers and horses could not even find a few pieces of cloth armor, but as a general, he still had decent armor.

Gao Zhou frowned when he saw the armor on Lu Bin.

Lu Bin was startled and said, "You are..."

As soon as the words were finished, Gao Zhou drew his sharp knife out of its sheath, raised the knife in his hand and fell, Lu Bin's head fell to the ground.

Everyone around was dumbfounded, and it didn't take long before they took a break, and hurriedly got up from the ground, picking up their weapons again.

"Abandon weapons and surrender without killing!" Gao Zhou shouted, "I'll count to ten, and those who surrender will be behind me. If no one comes, shoot and kill!"

When Song Qingtang led troops into the city, the city gate had been cleared by Gao Zhou.

None of the rebels survived, and those who surrendered knelt and hugged their heads.

The people of Peifeng City were all in the market on the east side of the inner city. Tens of thousands of people watched Xia's army entering the city on horseback with their eyes open. There were hardly any old people, all of them were middle-aged. Their eyes looked frightened, speculative, numb and dazed.

Three cavalry came quickly from the city, Song Qingtang and Xia Zhigaozhou pulled the reins to stop.

"Deputy General Xia Zhi, General Gao Zhoulang!" The leading cavalryman clasped his hands and said, "Second Miss has an order that the people in the city choose one person from every ten households as a representative, and immediately follow us to Tianbu Mansion!"

"Choose one person from ten households?" Xia Zhi nodded, "OK."

He shook the reins lightly and looked eastward.

The crowd who had been terrified all night looked up at him. Some of those standing in the front row even took a step back.

Song Qingtang breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Gao Zhou, "I'll go see Ali first."

"it is good."

Song Qingtang clamped his horse's belly and left with six relatives.

Lin Yao had about sixteen concubines.

Xia Xingming's other lieutenant, Yan Haiqi, brought them all out, and at the same time, soldiers and horses went to bring Ma Wenze, Fang Genghou and others' concubines.

Back and forth, there were nearly three hundred young women kneeling in the courtyard outside the hall, many of whom were still pregnant.

Xia Xingming finished working on the food and went up the steps, and when he saw all kneeling in the open space, he shouted at Yan Haiqi: "Why do you want them to kneel!"

Yan Haiqi hurriedly walked over and said, "It's not me who shouted, it's they who knelt down!"

"Then let them kneel?"

"Can……"

"Get up!" Xia Xingming shouted to the girl in the open space.

The women hung their heads, trembling all over, not daring to move rashly.

"Where is Second Miss?" Xia Xingming asked Yan Haiqi.

"Fell asleep!"

"Huh?" Xia Xingming was stunned.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't sleep well last night in the house by the lake, and woke up repeatedly. He went to Wanshanguan early this morning, and couldn't close his eyes when he came back after meeting his father's old ministry.

After she ordered Yan Haiqi to call all these women, she was really sleepy, she wanted to lie down for a while, but she didn't want to fall asleep directly in front of the desk.

At this time, there was the sound of horseshoes and carriages under the steps.

Xia Xingming walked up the stone steps, the sound of carriages came from the north, and the sound of horseshoes came from the south.

Driving the carriage were Li Man and Su Heng.

On the other side were Song Qingtang and six followers.

"Just right!" Xia Xingming said happily, "Zhengchou doesn't know how to deal with these three hundred girls, they are all around the second lady."

"Yes." Yan Haiqi said.

Su Yumei and Su Heng helped Yang Fugui down who had been sneezing all the time, Li Man stepped up the stone steps, cupped his hands and asked, "You two generals, where is my boss?"

"Fall asleep." Xia Xingming said.

"It seems that my boss is tired..." Li Man said, "Then, is there a room for us to sleep tonight?"

"It's everywhere. If you like it, pick one and clean it yourself." Yan Haiqi said.

"Okay, thank you General!"

Xia Xingming looked at Song Qingtang who had already come up and was waiting aside, and said gently: "Second Miss is asleep, she wants us to call these girls over before she goes to sleep, but she is extremely sleepy now, what should I do with these girls?"
