Dingjun Mountain, in a valley.

Chen Tianming led the remaining soldiers to hide here. If it weren't for the people left by Chen Tianming, the envoys sent by Pei Zhu'er would not have found this hidden hiding place.

"Chen Tianming defeated Jinzhou, captured Hanyin, Shiquan, Xixiang and other counties, and captured more than 2,000 surrendered troops. He made great contributions to the Pei family army, so he was granted the title of commander."

Chen Tianming knelt on one knee, but the envoy said nothing clearly. At this time, he had only one thought in his mind, and I became the commander, and I became the commander.

Although the commander did not have a high status as a general, he could still command 3,000 people. It can be said that the name of commanding the two thousand surrendered troops under his command was enough. Once his long wish was realized, Chen Tianming didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only kowtowed three times respectfully towards Pei Xiaoer in the north with excitement.

On the fifth day of the 12th month of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Pei Xiaoer led a large army of 15,000 people to cross the Baoshui River. When the troops arrived at Baocheng, they immediately sent people to persuade them to surrender.

Liu Hanru, the magistrate of Baocheng County, is a typical literati. He has great righteousness and looks down on bandits who wander around and harm the people. He has watched and rehabilitated the injustice, persuaded the farming and sericulture, and even wrote a letter to request the reduction of taxes in Baocheng. The people were convinced and were willing to die for it.

When Wang Wanjin came to prosper, he plundered Hanzhong, and even suffered from the lives of life and the people were displaced. Liu Hanru accepted refugees and defended the city. When Wang Wanjin attacked Nanzheng, Liu Hanru also sent a large number of people to rescue Nanzheng, but failed.

Later, when Nanzheng fell, Wang Wanjin's power increased greatly, but soon all the food and grass in Nanzheng City were consumed. The remaining tens of thousands of stones of grain were controlled by Wang Wanjin and strictly controlled and distributed to other factions under his command, resulting in a large number of people joining Wang Wanjin's team and not being able to eat enough or starve to death. More importantly, they could no longer expand their troops.

Some people who just want to eat and wait for death and have less than three days a day are nothing. They reduce the source of their troops and can still eat enough food in front of them.

However, the ambitious faction led by Wang Guoxun could not sit idly by and watch the scale of Wang Wanjin's tribe expanding, but he could only shrink the situation. At the same time, he also checked and balanced Wang Wanjin, so that he could not expand to a certain extent and completely annexed himself. Therefore, he actively went out of the city to plunder the four fields, attacked the village and slaughtered the forts, in order to obtain enough food and grass to develop himself.

Baocheng County has been robbed relatively rarely, and has gathered many gentry refugees to take refuge. It is located in a unique geographical location at the critical point of Chencang Road. Merchants gathered and a lot of wealth. In addition, the careful management of the magistrate Liu Hanru has become one of the few wealthy places in Hanzhong, which naturally attracted the attention of a group of wolves in Nanzheng City.

Since Wang Wanjin took over Nanzheng, Baocheng was attacked by Wang Guoxun's troops. However, Liu Hanru was not a vegetarian. Faced with the attack, Liu Hanru responded calmly and implemented a solid wall and cleared the fields. He placed the people outside the city first in the nearby village castle. Those who were not strong enough also moved to Baocheng City.

Then Liu Hanru dealt with Wang Guoxun with Baocheng. Wang Guoxun drove his subordinates to cope with the people and wanted to smash Baocheng like a wave, one after another, as if it was endless.

However, Baocheng defended by Liu Hanru is like a reef in the waves. No matter how strong the wind is or how high the waves are, it remains unmoved.

After the last battle, more than 18,000 people were killed by Wang Guoxun. Even if the remaining people were killed by Wang Guoxun, they were unwilling to attack the city again and fill in the Shura field.

The angry Wang Guoxun killed more than 420 people who were cowardly and fearful of war on the spot, but he still could not let these people who were completely desperate move. In the end, Wang Guoxun could only curse and drag the army and the people who were bound to attack Mian County.

The people of Baocheng were able to escape. After this battle, Liu Hanru's reputation in Baocheng was even more like a god. Therefore, when the Pei family army was approaching Baocheng City, Liu Hanru ordered, and tens of thousands of people in Baocheng City were tied up with the people guarding the city, and the yamen runners and others carried rolling wood, stones, tincture oil, gold juice, weapons, arrows, etc., and everyone was in full swing and full of energy.

Pei Xiaoer stood in front of the army and looked up at the clothes of the officials on the top of the city. After obviously, Min Zhuang was temporarily pulled up, he was a little undecided. The group of Min Zhuang in front of him was like a mob, but even this group of people could beat Wang Guoxun so much that they almost hated him on the spot. It was said that these people still had some skills.

"General," Pei Zhu'er leaned forward and said, "Would we use the trick of attacking Chenggu first, send people to lure the defenders in the city, and then have an ambush?"

"This move has some effect on the reckless man in Chenggu County, and it has no effect on Liu Hanru, Baocheng." Pei Xiaoer shook his head and said, "From the information we investigated, Liu Hanru is a calm person, and he will never act in danger. Even if we pretend to be similar, he may not go out of the city to pursue him."

Pei Zhuer finally made a suggestion, but she was disappointed and had to close her mouth in disappointment.

Pei Xiaoer glanced at Pei Zhuer with a funny look and comforted him: "It's not your good at giving advice, and you don't have to be discouraged." Then, he looked at Baocheng not far away and said thoughtfully, "The next siege battle is where you use your skills."

"Retreat twenty miles, set up camps and send orders to let the craftsmen in the army build siege equipment and attack the city tomorrow."

Then, the Pei family retreated, built the city walls, and built the siege equipment overnight. Let’s talk about it early the next morning, after the three-way drum, the soldiers had a full meal, lined up in line, and left the camp together and headed straight for Baocheng not far away.

On Baocheng, Liu Hanru looked at the smoke and dust rising from afar, and teams of neat soldiers pushed various siege equipment to the bottom of Baocheng little by little.

As the Pei family army approached, Liu Hanru felt a murderous intent coming towards him, as if a tiger roared in the forest and the white beast retreated.

Liu Hanru could clearly feel that this "thief" was completely different from the Wangguoshu that he had dealt with some time ago. Although the number of Wangguoshu trained was large, most of them were the people who were bullied, and they used the people as cannon fodder to serve as stepping stones for his ambitions. Therefore, although the number of Wangguoshu trained was large, his army could clearly feel a sense of death.

However, although the number of troops on the opposite side is not as large as the kingdom's training, everyone is as vibrant as the sun is in its infancy.

Liu Hanru had doubts about whether he could defend Baocheng for the first time, but when he thought of his back, his heart was put back in his stomach.

In a blink of an eye, the Pei family army had already arrived under the city wall.

When there was still a mile away from the city wall, Pei Xiaoer, who was walking in the front, raised his right arm lightly and made a stopping move. The moving army began to slowly stop.

At this time, the newborn sun slowly shone his light and shone on the city wall ahead. The city walls were mottled, and the blood left over from the battle a while ago could be vaguely seen on the broken walls.

A gust of wind blew, shaking the flags on the city walls.

Pei Xiaoer looked at the direction of the sun, roughly estimated the current time, and then said, "Let's start."

With Pei Xiaoer's order, the whimpering and desolate horn sounded, and then the thunder sounded when the war drums came. The first wave of five thousand men, the promoters of various siege equipment, began to attack the city wall.

This is a difficult battle, but it is another must-fight. If you cannot defeat Baocheng, you cannot block Chencang Road or Chencang Road. The continuous officers and soldiers in Shaanxi will attack Hanzhong at any time through this passage, and the status of Hanzhong's natural danger will be lost.

It can be said that only by taking down Baocheng can we pull out one of Shaanxi's footsteps in Hanzhong, advance the front line into the Qinling Mountains, use the dangerous passes in the Qinling Mountains, and use a small number of soldiers to defend the attacks of the entire Guanzhong area, and have the primary conditions for establishing a country on its own.

However, taking Baocheng is still the first step, and the next step is to continue to go west, taking over half of Gongchang Prefectures, including Luang County, Cheng County, Huizhou, Liangdang, Feng County, Li County, etc., so that Hanzhong can truly be called safe.

The soldiers of the Pei family army attacked very quickly. In less than half an hour, the battle had already pushed the siege equipment under the city tower.

The officers and soldiers on the top of the city were also unceremonious, with arrows, cannons, stones, etc. shot out like raindrops. However, despite this, it was not enough. Liu Hanru even brought out the few cannons, bird guns and other objects that had never been used in the warehouse, and rushed towards the dense areas of the Pei family army under the city.

Under this situation, the soldiers of the Pei family suffered heavy casualties, and rows of soldiers were like the withered yellow weeds in autumn. When they encountered the strong wind, they fell to the ground and disappeared.

Fortunately, the Pei family army was well prepared during this attack, and a batch of various siege equipment was more or less built. With these siege equipment, the Pei family army soldiers finally attacked the city tower and fought with Liu Hanru on the walls of the civilians and the yamen runners.
