The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 98

Du Yu transferred the emeralds obtained in the world of Shendi to the real world, and the silver was brought to the world of Water Margin to enrich Wei's treasury.

While his two worlds were busy fighting singles with sticks, Xu Guanzhong had already surrounded Xingzhou City. He didn't even talk about the martial arts of being surrounded by three queues and one, and started to bombard wildly fry.

Zhang Shuye was surprised to find that the eight-ox crossbow and divine arm bow that Song was proud of could not cause any damage to Wei's army at all.

The main reason is that other people don't climb the city wall with ladders like the traditional siege mode, and they use trebuchets to smash them hard from a distance.

Song Dynasty's defense equipment could not reach others at all, and people who wanted to open the city gate and go out of the city to sneak attack and destroy the opponent's trebuchet were still heavily guarded.

Song Jiang's people tried twice and returned without success, and suffered heavy losses. As a result, Hei Sanlang refused to fight.

Zhang Shuye had no choice but to bite the bullet and hold on. The request for help had been rushed to Bianliang six hundred miles away. As for when the reinforcements would come, it was not up to him to decide.

After more than ten days of bombardment, the city wall of Xingzhou finally couldn't stand it and began to appear larger cracks.But the defenders in the city can't repair it at all, and no one is willing to repair the city wall with stones flying all over the sky.

Xingzhou government office.

Zhao Xian and Zhang Shuye sat in the study and sighed.

"Ji Zhong, I think the city of Xingzhou will be destroyed in the near future, what arrangements do you have?" Zhao Xian asked.

"Boda, the low morale of the soldiers in the city may be irreparable, and there is no good solution." Zhang Shuye said.

"Ji Zhong, if Xingzhou is lost, Daming Mansion will be hard to protect. If Daming Mansion is lost again, those rebels will face Bianliang City directly, and the consequences will be unimaginable." Zhao Xian said.

"Hey, it's just that traitors like Cai Jing are controlling the government and selling officials and nobles, making the great country precarious. I heard that Fang La in the south of the Yangtze River has not been resolved, and Wang Qing occupies the land of Bazhou in Huaixi. Boda, I suddenly feel a little scared. Zhang Shuye let out a long sigh, and then exclaimed.

"Ji Zhong, there shouldn't be any problem with Jiangnan. Tong Guan is quite capable. The combat effectiveness of the Western Army is not comparable to that of the garrison in Xingzhou City. At most, it will take longer to judge." Zhao Xian said.

"What I'm afraid of is that the time will be prolonged. I told you before that the false Wei forced the decree. After a long time, will the people in the Northland still be willing to be the people of the Song Dynasty?" Zhang Shuye said.

"Oh, it's a pity that the affairs of the court are still controlled by Cai Jing and his few traitors. How much truth can the officials get, we can only do our best and obey the destiny." Zhao Xian said.

Zhang Shuye nodded, knowing in his heart that although he wrote in the letter that the situation was critical, Cai Jing and the others might not send reinforcements in time, and even if they did, it would be too late.

The facts did not exceed their expectations. On the third day after this conversation, the north wall of Xingzhou City was bombed, forming a gap more than [-] meters wide.

That afternoon, the cannon fodder of Wei Xiandeng's army began to rush inside under the cover of archers.

Compared with other officials, Zhang Shuye did have the heart to live and die with the city. He personally supervised the battle behind, and Song Jiang and the others had to bite the bullet and fight with their lives.

Not to mention, relying on the personal bravery of the leaders of Liang Shanbo, they really withstood several attacks.

Just survived the first day, but not the second day.

After Xu Guanzhong saw that the cannon fodder battalion charged several times to consume the opponent's elite and morale, he immediately dispatched the elite of the Wei army to increase the attack.

At the same time, there were still catapults bombarding the city walls at the city gates in other directions, attracting the attention of the defenders.

The fierce battle lasted for more than two hours, and the Wei army finally pushed in.

It wasn't that Song Jiang was stealing and playing tricks, on the contrary, he worked harder in this battle than when he was in the cottage, and his brothers were sent out one by one to resist in turn.

But in the face of the general situation, he was still powerless. After the most loyal younger brother Hei Xuanfeng Li Kui was stabbed to death in the city because of exhaustion, no one was willing to die.

"Brother, I can't stand it anymore, let's find a way to leave." Wu Yong felt that he should consider the way out.

"The four city gates are all blocked by the Wei army. Where can we go?" Song Jiang said.

"Brother, do you still remember one thing? Master Lu and Shi Jin of Great Wei have a very close friendship, why don't we go to the barracks to find him." Wu Yong said.

"That's right, let's go find Brother Lu right here." Song Jiang's eyes lit up, as if he was grasping at a straw.

Song Jiang could still leave if he wanted to, first because he was still far away from the battlefield, and second because there were dozens of people around him, including Hua Rong, Qin Ming, Zhu Dian, Guan Sheng, Chai Jin, Li Ying, etc. The younger brother is still alive, and he is already the biggest force in the city guard army.

They turned around and ran away, and the officers and soldiers who didn't know the truth thought they were scattered in front of them, so they also started to flee in all directions.

The officers and soldiers defending the city were in disarray, which brought great convenience to the Wei army's siege of the city, but they broke through the defense and rushed into the city in a short time.

Seeing that the situation was over, Zhang Shuye looked up to the sky and sighed, drew his sword from his waist, and planned to commit suicide and die for the country.

At this moment, a feathered arrow shot towards him with a 'dang' sound and shot down the sword in his hand. It turned out that it was Luan Tingyu who arrived.

Luan Tingyu saw a high-ranking court official intending to kill himself, that would make him wish, this is a great credit, how could he slip away from his hands.

The guards around him swarmed up and tied Zhang Shuye alive. Of course, his two sons had no chance to escape and were captured together.

This is because they are all wearing official clothes, which are different from ordinary officers and soldiers, otherwise it is really hard to say whether they will be killed in the chaos.

As more and more troops entered the city, the key areas in the city were quickly occupied by the Wei army, and the victory cry of "Survivors will not die" meant that Xingzhou had completely fallen.

At this point in the war, the defenders in the city finally put down their weapons and chose to surrender. None of the officials, big or small, in Xingzhou City escaped and all became prisoners, including dozens of leaders in Liangshanbo.

After Du Yu heard the news, he drove his big G to Xingzhou City overnight.

What he cares about is not people like Song Jiang and Wu Yong, but what this guy is eager to see is Shenxing Taibao.

Du Yu sat down in the study of the eunuch Zhao Xian, and asked someone to bring Dai Zong to him immediately.

After careful inspection, the image is indeed as described in the novels of the Water Margin, "the face is broad, the lips are square, the eyes are protruding, the slender and handsome man, and the green flowers bloom beside the soapy scarf." ', um, that's right, it is trendy for men in the Song Dynasty to wear flowers.

"Are you Dai Zong, the Supreme Protector of Shenxing?" Du Yu asked.

"The villain is." Dai Zong replied.

He was a little apprehensive, not understanding that so many leaders with higher status than him in the cottage came to him first.

"Well, yes, it does look a bit miraculous." Du Yu said.

Dai Zong didn't know why, so he bowed his head and remained silent.

"I heard that you can travel thousands of miles with the skill of armored horse?" Du Yu asked.

Dai Zong was taken aback for a moment before he understood, but considering his own situation, he still said: "The villain really knows how to beat a horse."

"Oh, who taught you?" Du Yu asked.

"No one taught it. The villain learned it by himself by accidentally getting a spell with the 'shrinking method' recorded in a damaged Taoist temple." Dai Zong said.

"Well, yes, you are very honest. How about we make a deal?" Du Yu asked.

"What deal?" Dai Zong's heart moved, feeling that the chance of survival had come.

"How about using your 'Land Shrinking Method' in exchange for a fortune?" Du Yu asked.

Dai Zong asked: "How to exchange?"

"Give me the 'Land Shrinking Method', and I'll let you go and give you a sum of gold and silver, or if you want to serve in our Great Wei Army, I'll give you an official job." Du Yu said.

"Can you be with Brother Gongming?" Dai Zong asked.

Du Yu shook his head and said, "I have some fate with Song Jiang, but I don't want to recruit someone like him."

Dai Zong seemed to understand something, so he said: "I am willing to exchange a sum of gold and silver."

Du Yu nodded. He never thought that Song Jiang's iron clubs would turn to work under his account, and even if he wanted to, he didn't want to use them.

Take Dai Zong as an example. He did many bad things when he was in prison at the Jiangzhou two courts. He asked the prisoner for regular money and would kill him if he didn't pay him. He was just a prison tyrant in the Song Dynasty.Even if such a person has a skill, he should not be reused.

Du Yu Jiaojiao winked, and he immediately brought a plate of silver ingots.

Dai Zong was happy, he took out a piece of 'paper' from his underwear and handed it to Jiao Ting.

After Du Yu got the 'Shrinking Ground Method', he checked it carefully. The 'paper' seemed to be some kind of animal skin, and it looked a bit like rice paper, so it couldn't be fake from the material alone.So he nodded, expressing his approval of the transaction.

Jiao Ting got the hint, and led Dai Zong all the way out of the city gate.

Dai Zong got the silver and escaped to ascend to heaven. Knowing that he couldn't control Gong Ming's affairs, he found a place where no one was around, tied two armored horses on his legs, read a spell, and ran all the way south to Anjia in Tai'an Prefecture.

Besides, Du Yu took that talisman and studied it a lot. Well, he knew every seal character on it, but when they were combined together, he didn't know what it said.

'Hey, it looks like I have to go to the cheap master Luo Zhenren. ' he thought to himself.
