    The defeated soldiers under the city wall ran desperately out of the range of the archers on the city wall. Just as they slowed down and wanted to take a breath, they heard the loud sound of horse hooves on the flank.

    Seeing Dong Ping's cavalry charge straight towards him, they couldn't help but scream in fright. Some turned around and ran away, while others rushed forward desperately, hoping to escape into the army formation behind Lin Chong, where they were still there.  Seven thousand colleagues.

    Seeing that they could not escape, some soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered again, kneeling on the ground.

    "kill"

    Dong Ping roared loudly and stabbed continuously with his spears. Wherever the horse passed by, whether they were running away in a hurry or kneeling down to beg for mercy, they all lay on the ground and turned into corpses.

    When the seven thousand forbidden troops behind saw Dong Ping slaughtering the defeated troops, they immediately started to commotion.

    A soldier shouted: "They want to kill us all. We are all on the left and right. Fight with them"

    Before he finished speaking, a sharp arrow was shot from his mouth. He looked at Chao Yong in disbelief as he rode past the formation. He fell to the ground with a plop, without any sign of life.

    Chao Yong shot the soldiers shouting in the formation with a few arrows, and shouted: "Anyone who dares to mess up the formation will be killed without mercy."

    The Imperial Guards looked at the Daliang soldiers and horses that were eyeing on both sides. Thinking of the fierceness of the Daliang soldiers and horses in the previous fight, they suddenly lost the courage to make a fuss. They all stood upright on the spot, for fear that if they moved, they would provoke Chao Yong's sharp arrows.

    Seeing Chao Yong¡¯s iron-blooded tactics, the 30,000 Imperial Guards behind them were so frightened that they fell silent, and there was no more noise than before.

    Chao Yong rode his horse to the front of the formation, looked at the dozen defeated soldiers Lin Chong had stopped, and shouted: "Kill them all."

    Those dozen people were the fastest runners and escaped the attack of Dong Ping's cavalry. They originally thought they could escape with their lives, but unexpectedly Chao Yong gave such an order and suddenly cried out in fright.

    "Prince, please forgive me"

    "You, the executioner, will not die well."

    Some people begged for mercy, some cursed, but in the blink of an eye, they were all assassinated on the spot by Lin Chong's soldiers.

    The officers and soldiers at the top of the city also reacted at this time. Under the command of a general, they shouted in unison: "Kill the thieves, kill the thieves."

    Hearing the noise in the city, the Imperial Guards became a little commotion again.

    Chao Yong turned his head to look at the Forbidden Army behind him. Wherever he looked, the Forbidden Army straightened their backs in fear, and each of them stood in a more orderly manner than Chao Yong's own soldiers.

    Chao Yong glanced at the military formation, and the entire military formation became silent.

    Chao Yong turned to Lin Chong and said, "Send another thousand-man team to attack the city."

    Lin Chong nodded and pointed to a team of 1,000 people to line up.

    Under Chao Yong's watchful eye, the fourth thousand-man team's charge became much more fierce. The shouts of killing were loud, and they rushed through the rain of arrows in the blink of an eye. When they arrived at the bottom of the city, they scrambled to climb up the city.

    Li Kui said regretfully: "I have no use for these two axes. These birds are too timid. The prince just glanced at them, and they were as afraid to move as if they were wooden stakes."

    Chao Yong glared at Li Kui and said, "If you want to fight, I will turn around and let you attack the city."

    The city wall was now like a hell on earth. The officers and soldiers on the top of the city kept smashing down rolling logs and stones, and occasionally poured pots of hot water on them, causing the soldiers attacking the city to let out bursts of heart-rending screams.  .

    Chao Yong was frightened when he saw it, and wanted to deploy artillery to blow up the city wall. However, the Northern Song Dynasty court controlled saltpeter and sulfur. Although Daliang bought some privately, he could not manufacture them in large quantities. Jingdong did not produce these two things, otherwise he would not be able to produce them in large quantities.  Gunpowder opened the way, and 20,000 soldiers and horses were enough to sweep away the corrupt army of the Song Dynasty.

    Soon, the fourth thousand-man team suffered more than half of its casualties.

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "Let's join another thousand-man team."

    Lin Chong casually pointed to another thousand-man team.

    The archers on the city wall have reached the limit of firing times. The fifth thousand-man team suffered fewer casualties due to the interception of arrow rain, and most of the rolling logs and stones at the top of the city have been consumed. Although many ladders were destroyed,  But Daliang came prepared, and the damaged ladder was quickly replaced.

    Lin Chong watched his soldiers climbing up simple ladders one by one and couldn't help frowning: "If there were ladder trucks and siege engines, I'm afraid Binzhou could be captured without so many casualties."

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "My main purpose in attacking the city this time is to take the opportunity to rectify military discipline. These soldiers have always regarded military discipline as a child's play. When the situation is not good, they want to escape. If they are not rectified, they will definitely cause greater harm to me in the future."  The Central Plains is facing internal and external troubles, and we don¡¯t have much time, so we can only use some drastic measures to let them know what military discipline is.¡±

    While he was talking, he saw a soldier scurrying up from the simple ladder like a monkey. The guards at the top of the city hurriedly surrounded him to fight. However, the man was highly skilled in martial arts. He rushed left and right, and actually cut down five or six guards in a short time.

      "Good man, kill his mother. Hack, chop."

    Li Kui was chopping left and right with the ax in his hand, as if he could command the soldiers on top of the city.

    Chao Yong, Lin Chong and others also stared nervously at the people on the top of the city, hoping that he could hold on to the soldiers behind. In this way, as long as they held a small area, the people behind could continuously come up to support them, expand the territory, and seize the city.  head.

    The man did not disappoint everyone. After holding on for a while, the soldiers climbed up the ladders one after another.

    Seeing this, Lin Chong waved his hand for a thousand-man team to go up and take advantage of the situation to seize the city.

    Soon after the fifth thousand-man team pressed forward, the city fell. The officers and soldiers on the city fled, and the city gate was opened by Daliang soldiers.

    When Li Kui saw the city gate open, he shouted: "Prince, let me kill him."

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "General Lin will dispatch two more thousand-man teams to enter the city to wipe out the stubborn Song soldiers, and then ask the first warrior to come to the city."

    Hearing this, Li Kui shouted: "Why don't you let me fight?"

    Chao Yong glared at Li Kui and said, "They captured the city gate, so you go into the city to take the credit."

    Li Kui glared and said: "Whoever wants any credit, the credit belongs to them. I just want to kill them as fast as they can."

    Chao Yong shook his head and said with a smile: "The Binzhou officers and soldiers have already fled. You can still kill a few. There will be a tough battle in a few days. I will let you be the vanguard."

    When Li Kui heard this, he immediately said happily: "The prince must keep his word. These few battles have been so hard to kill people. Before it was my turn to fight, they all surrendered."

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "I have received news that the Song Dynasty sent Cai You as commander and transferred ten military governors to attack our Daliang. These ten military governors are all from the green forest. I'm afraid it will be a tough battle."

    Li Kui said disdainfully: "What kind of hero can he be who surrenders to the imperial court? I will knock them over with my axe, let them know how powerful the heroes of Liangshan are."

    Not long after, Lin Chong's soldiers came with a lean soldier.

    Chao Yong saw that he was covered in blood and asked with concern: "The warrior is not injured, is he?"

    The soldier raised his head and glanced at Chao Yong, who was wearing golden armor, then lowered his head and said respectfully: "No."

    Chao Yong praised: "What a skill. What's your name? What's your current position?"

    "Prince, the young Liu Tong is now centurion."

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "Okay, if you are successful in capturing the city this time, I will make you a captain of thousands and reward you with a thousand coins."

    When Liu Tong heard that he had received such a large reward, he quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you, Prince, for the large reward."

    Chao Yong turned to Lin Chong and said: "All the soldiers who died in battle today are registered in a register. All the family members who can be found will receive a pension of 100 guan, 5 guan for the slightly injured, 10 guan for the seriously injured, and 50 guan for the disabled.  You lead the army to reorganize here for one day, and then rush to Jeju to prepare for the enemy Song soldiers. I will go to Qingzhou and then go to Jeju." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster updates!)
