Chapter 643: Unpredictable
At noon, Luo Hu and Gu Kecheng's army arrived at Zhendingfu City, which was five miles, and then ordered to stop and rest on the spot, and only sent a few scouts to go around the city to investigate.
Chang Yu was holding a bowl of noodle soup on the head of Beicheng City, touched his mouth and looked at the large array of thieves in the distance, and then looked at the spies outside the city, and said very puzzledly: "Why do you always come to fight during dinner?" β
As he spoke, he took a strong bow from Guo Ren's hand, stretched his bow and set up an arrow, and the sharp arrow broke through the air, and the first person was pierced through the head when the horse galloped under the city, and the remaining thieves scattered in panic, not understanding how to shoot at such a long distance.
"Ben Du's archery skills have regressed, and I wanted to shoot the mole three inches of his right ear" Chang Yu said to Li Guo beside him with a serious face, Li Guo rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to him, Wu Zhongqiang next to him couldn't help laughing, and muttered to Li Muxian: "Did you learn from the Governor and like to brag, or did he learn from you?" β
Li Muxian looked at his nose and nose and heart, and silently recited in his heart, I don't listen, I don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures......
Come and don't be rude, Chang Yu shot the thief Tan Liwei not long after, and the thief army immediately roared through the air with a sharp arrow, straight into the heart of a soldier in Ma Shiyao's department, and there was a letter hanging on it, with a few words: Let Li Guo, otherwise the city will be slaughtered!
It's Chi Qingshi again, Chang Yu just saw that the person who shot the arrow was more than two miles away, and he thought it was just an ordinary soldier, who had such a ability to shoot him from the bottom to the top at such a distance.
I was shocked in my heart, and shouted in my mouth: "I'm so afraid, I'm so afraid, I'm so afraid, someone will send General Li out of the city."
Li Guo was very surprised, the person in front of him was really the intimidating boss of the East Factory, obviously he was a second goods!
"Lord Governor let me out of the city at this time, isn't it a little early" Li Guo chuckled, Chang Yu snorted, and looked serious: "What I said is very true, it's not too late to go out when your uncle arrives at the ground, otherwise people will let you out as soon as they send a letter, and I think this governor is really afraid."
"Come, come, overseer, look at the northeast side......" Chen Suole whispered beside him, Chang Yu raised his eyes and couldn't see it clearly, and took a clairvoyant mirror to look at it, and he could vaguely see the crowd of black pressure coming, at least thirty or fifty miles away.
"Walk slowly enough......" Chang Yu's words just fell, and suddenly saw that the thief army in the north of the city moved, only to see that it was outflanked from east to west in two units, and a stick of incense kung fu surrounded the four gates of Zhending City tightly, but it was not close, two miles away from the city.
Chang Yu sneered and watched the movements of the thief army under the city, Li Guo stared at him sideways and wanted to see something on his face, his eyes were facing each other, and the corners of Chang Yu's mouth flashed: "It's just a bluff."
Li Guo sighed: "I waited all the way to the east to go north and was invincible, although it was mostly because the officers and soldiers did not resist, but it would not be disdained by the Lord Overseer as a false stand, if it was true, it would not have laid the foundation of today."
Hmph, Chang Yu looked disdainful: "It's not a false shelf that collapses at the touch of a button, if it's not false, why can't you run away in such a mess now", everyone around him laughed, and Li Guo looked embarrassed.
"The bandits outside the city have many cavalry and infantry, but they have no baggage, they are not here to besiege the city, but to besiege the city!" Wu Zhong said suddenly, Li Muxian chuckled and pointed at Li Guo: "This man is his rout, the guy lost everything yesterday, if it is good, at this time, he was ordered by the thieves to besiege the city first, and the real siege guys are behind."
Everyone looked to the northeast, the black pressure covered the sky and the sun, and they couldn't count how many people and horses, and they couldn't tell the difference between the thief army and the homeless.
"Lord Overseer wants to come and see things like a god, so I am curious to ask, with what you see going to fight today, and what will be the outcome or defeat?" Li Guo asked suddenly.
Chang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Whether you fight or not depends on the intention of the governor, as for the victory or defeat, it is already clear at a glance, why should Brother Li humiliate himself."
Li Guo's face darkened suddenly, and Li Muxian next to him couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, but Wu Zhong and a few people were puzzled, and they all whispered what the little overseer meant.
Li Muxian gave them a few explanations with a smug face, : The strength and momentum of the thieves are indeed very huge, but at this time, there are wolves in front of them and tigers in the back, and they may be caught in the meat at any time, so even if Li Guo is captured, he is eager to rescue him, even if he is dissatisfied in his heart and wants to fight to the death with the little eunuch, it is more important not to jump out of the encirclement quickly.
So he doesn't have time at all and won't waste too much time here, even if he wants to fight quickly, but the little eunuch doesn't accept it, he just shrinks into the city and doesn't come out, you attack such a big city, you want to break it in one go, and you undoubtedly dream, so Li Zicheng besieged the city at most to scare it, and then broke the direction of the Hutuo River to escape is the right solution.
In short, the siege is most likely a faΓ§ade.
Although Li Muxian's voice was not loud, it was also heard by Li Guo, and he was very surprised in his heart, and couldn't help but ask, "What is the name of the Dao Chief?" β
"On the poor side, the people in the rivers and lakes call the lonely side, have you ever heard of Li Zhuangshi?"
Li Guo sighed, and smiled slightly embarrassedly: "You and I are different from each other, so I haven't heard of a big name, is the Taoist chief from the government or is it just in time?" β
"Poor Dao is under the command of the Overseer," Li Muxian said, Li Guo nodded slightly, and said no more.
Time slipped slowly, the thief army under the city besieged the city and did not move, and the dark clouds in the northeast covered the sky to five miles away and suddenly stopped moving, and the people in the city Chang Yu were puzzled.
Huang Degong on the south bank of the Hutuo River has been paying attention to the situation, he disdained to report the siege of the thief army before, and he disdained it, and the early exploration was Li Guo's rout, although there were nearly 20,000 and Luo Hu's Zhenshan battalion in it, but after yesterday's fiasco, morale was low, not to mention that the soldiers were tired and tired, and they were hungry and cold, in this situation, unless the little eunuch didn't want to fight, if he wanted to fight, he could break it with an impact out of the city.
But why didn't Chang Yu go out of the city to break the enemy? Huang Degong's psychology is also like a mirror, first of all, he may have to negotiate with the thieves to surrender, and secondly, the military horses in the city are Ma Shiyao's people, and they are not at ease when they are not at ease when they first surrender, so it is better not to use them, and they don't know if they can fight or not, who knows if Li Zicheng will surrender.
It wasn't until Tanma urgently reported that the black clouds in the northeast were pressing, Huang Degong's expression became solemn, and he ordered all the troops under his command to prepare for war, and secretly instructed Weng Zhiqi and several other generals that if the thief army crossed the river, if it was not supported under the strong attack, it would immediately retreat to the southeast Zhaozhou.
After some advice, the black clouds were already several miles away, Huang Degong stood on a high post on the shore and held a clairplane to look at the black clouds endlessly, and his heart was shocked, this special thing has more than 100,000 people, it seems that the thieves are coming.
The spies reported again, the thieves were intercepted everywhere, they couldn't get close to the reconnaissance, Huang Degong scolded: "It's all special to the front of the eyes and probe an egg" and ordered the artillery to set up and run, once the thieves started to bomb immediately, and after the bombardment, they withdrew, and the province fell into the hands of the thieves.
When the thief arrived, he didn't move for nearly half an hour, which made Chang Yu puzzled, and asked Li Guo sideways: "What trick is your uncle playing?" β
Li Guo shrugged, saying that he didn't know either.
What's in it for him to stay put? Chang Yu couldn't take Li Zicheng's pulse for a while, and when he saw that the sun was already in the afternoon, he was about to think about whether to let Li Guo out of this matter, but he saw that the "thief army" moved in the northeast.
The crowd was full of voices, overwhelming, Chang Yu stared at it, but saw that those who rushed over were just homeless people, damn, using this old trick again!
There were more and more displaced people, and there were tens of thousands of people, and in the blink of an eye, the city of Zhendingfu was surrounded by water, but Luo Hu's men and horses withdrew to the periphery.
Chang Yu frowned, the thief really used his way to govern his people, regardless of whether he attacked the city this time or not, he first besieged himself in the city, and then took the opportunity to break through Huang Degong's defense line and slip away.
"Overseer, the thief is going to slip away!" Li Muxian also saw through his intentions, looked up at the northeast direction, and sure enough, a large number of displaced people rushed towards the direction of the Hutuo River.
Chang Yu snorted: "Do you have a way to crack it?" βγ
Li Muxian lowered his head and was silent: "It's just a desperate plan, either we will kill it, or let Li Zhuangshi go out of the city to open the way, but Li Zhuangshi may not return after leaving the city, or he will return in vain, and the thieves will not surrender and want to cross the river to the south, we have to kill it."
"If you want to kill a lot of people, you have to roll the blade" Chang Yu sneered, turned his head and glanced at Li Guo: "Please, what should be said has been said, and there is no need to say anything about where to go."
Li Guo smiled slightly: "It's still the same sentence, I just have to bring the words, it depends on my uncle's decision where to go, maybe I will ......... to go" said to Chang Yu: "Goodbye to the rivers and lakes."
Chang Yu laughed: "It doesn't matter where you see you, as long as you can see you again."
Li Guo's face sank, and he turned to leave.
After getting off the city to the north gate, Tu Yuan glanced at him and said viciously: "You'd better not come back, so that if you meet you again, you can be slashed with a knife" After speaking, he opened the door and let him go.
Li Guo walked out of the city gate and looked back at him, then looked up at Chang Yu at the head of the city, and turned to leave with an expressionless face.
