Chapter 57, black clouds crush the city

Shi Kefa thought for a while: "As long as the governor gives me enough siege equipment, I can break through Huayin City." This group of thieves has no city to rely on, and even if there are many of them, they will definitely be defeated. ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Okay, the utensils made by the Chengxi Construction Division, you can pull as many as you can." On the day of the destruction of the thieves, I personally celebrate your achievements. Shi Kefa thanked him, and then went out in a hurry. Hong Chengchou looked at his back and kept nodding: "This person can be of great use, and he is of great use." ”

Shi Kefa came to his station, ordered 500 people to get into a cart, and went to the construction division with him, and he was extremely excited along the way. Since he joined the army, he has always wanted to be alone, but because he is too young, he is always pressed by those veteran generals, and he can't display his talents.

His ambition is not something that a small guerrilla general position can accommodate.

When he came to the Construction Division, Hong Chengchou's order had already arrived, and Shi Kefa could choose the attacking tools as much as he could. So, one by one, the carts and catapults were dismantled, loaded onto carts, and pulled out of the city.

Shi Kefa knew the truth of the speed of the soldiers, and when he received the order, he had ordered the whole army to be fully equipped, only bring five days' dry rations, and then the whole army went out of the city and marched towards Huayin.

He took the lead, looking at the black team behind him, and a sense of majesty arose.

This was Shi Kefa's first expedition, and his opponent was the extremely mysterious Qin army.

On the third day, the Qin army in Huayin City learned the news. The spies came to report that there was a group of men and horses from Xi'an, about 3,000 people, and the army was very powerful, and it was only a hundred miles away from Huayin.

Li Yan asked: "How is the equipment of the Ming army, and who is the main general with the troops?" ”

The spy replied: "Among the three thousand men and horses, there are about four or five hundred cavalry, and there are also hundreds of carts, and it is not clear what is loaded on the carts. ”

Li Yan asked his subordinates to surrender to the Ming Army, everyone didn't know about this Shi Kefa, almost no one had heard of this person, according to this, it should be a nameless person.

Li Dangman didn't care: "Just 3,000 people, you want to take Huayin?" Isn't it a pipe dream? ”

It is not unreasonable for him to say this, in the past few days, the scattered Qin army has come to converge in an endless stream, and now more than 1,000 people have gathered, plus those Ming troops who surrendered, there are no less than 2,000 people, as for the weapons and equipment, although they are not sophisticated enough, they can fight.

Moreover, the Ming army sent him was just a nobody, and it is said that he was not yet thirty years old, so he was afraid that he had never even been in the battle array.

In Li Kang's opinion, this Shi Kefa is just a lamb, and Qin Jun is a wolf.

But Li Yan doesn't see it that way, he knows very well that Hong Chengchou is a person, and he will never send an incompetent person to come, it can be seen from the last two sneak attacks on the Qin army that although Hong Chengchou didn't take them seriously on the surface, he secretly made great efforts to deal with the Qin army. It can be said that the two major defeats of the Qin army were defeated by the light enemy.

At present, Hong Chengchou heard that the Qin army had reoccupied Huayin, and the men and horses sent by him should definitely not be underestimated, not to mention, this force is clear, and it is unknown whether Hong Chengchou will have any tricks in secret.

Therefore, Li Yan ordered to send more scouts to investigate around to see if there were any Ming troops sneaking in.

In addition, the Qin army immediately began to prepare for war.

Li Dang was a little puzzled and asked Li Yan: "Brother, do we want to defend it?" Li Yan nodded: "In the current situation, there is only one way to defend it." Li dared to say: "But you said before that you can only fight on the move, not on the death." ”

Li Yan smiled: "This time, that time." At that time, the Ming army came in a big way, and it could only move, and at this time only one group of men and horses came, and it was not an elite army, and we fought with the city, and the chance of victory was very great. Li dared to say: "But if the Ming army surrounds us and waits for reinforcements, wouldn't it be more dangerous?" Li Yan shook his head: "The main force of the Ming army, this time in Shanxi, I have already found out, a large number of thieves in Shanxi were defeated by the Ming army, at this time the Ming army is chasing them, it is impossible to give up halfway, come to encircle and suppress us." Therefore, as long as we hold Huayin and defeat the invading enemy, we can boost morale, and secondly, we can expand our prestige and make it known from far and near, then King Qin and they can hear it. ”

Li Dang suddenly realized: "Brother is really a good plan." As long as King Qin can come back, we have the backbone and make a comeback, which is not a difficult thing. Hmph, then again, this defeat, Lao Tzu was almost crazy, and this time he just vented his evil anger. ”

Li Yan nodded: "Yes, this battle must be won, if it is defeated, the Qin army will have no chance to turn over." ”

He thought deeply, when the Qin army first rose, it was ambitious, and after a few victories, he felt that the Ming army was not terrible, so he was proud to underestimate the enemy, and the last big defeat could be said to be a blow to the head, so that the Qin army had to re-look at the Ming army in front of him, this time it can be said that there is no heart to underestimate the enemy, if it is defeated again, then the Qin army will not have the courage to compete with the Ming army in the future. Not to mention restoring Great Qin, it is impossible to even survive.

Therefore, in this battle, the Qin army can only win, not lose.

In the past few days, the Qin army began to be reorganized, with Li Dang as the supreme commander, and the 2,000 or so people were also divided into four teams and guarded four gates. Due to the lack of weapons in the city, especially the weapons to defend the city such as bows, arrows, bows and crossbows, they are even more lacking. Even if it was made overnight, it couldn't hit much. Li Yan thought of a way, sent people out of the city, cut down wood, carried stones, and used rolling wood to beat stones instead of bows and arrows, and in addition, in the four city gates, a thousand jin gate was cast, which was stabilized at the head of the city with hinges, and once the enemy broke through the city gate, the gate was lowered, and it could be resisted for a while.

For a few days, the city was fully prepared, just waiting for the Ming army to attack.

Li Yan stood at the west gate, looking into the distance, where he could vaguely see the soaring murderous aura, and many birds flew across the sky and threw themselves into the distance, as if they were afraid of seeing the tragic situation of people killing. Li Yan knew that this battle was a matter of life and death for the Qin army, but he didn't know that dozens of miles away, the general named Shi Kefa would become a fierce enemy that he could not ignore in the future.

The red lady has not been idle these days, she often takes Xiaoqing to peek at the training of the Qin army, the two touch the big tree, and point while watching, Xiaoqing thinks it is funny, but the red lady has another plan.

Since she was born, she has not been interested in women's red knitting, like a boy, she likes guns and sticks, and she has been rolling in the class since she was a child, and she has lost the appearance of a girl's family, not to mention, her prestige in the class is slowly established in this way.

In her dream, she can marry a god-like brave and strong general, by his side, help him to kill the enemy soldiers and abandon their armor, and the blood flows like a river, the scene is far more beautiful than the butterflies among the flowers and the man dance in the song.

But the fact is, not to mention the famous general, she doesn't even have the qualifications to marry a seven-grade sesame official, although she was born with a thousand charms, and there are 100,000 armor soldiers in her chest, she can only struggle at the lowest level of society because of her innate fateful identity.

The reason why she didn't leave Li Yan and them in the past was not the main reason for saving her life, she saw an unprecedented opportunity from these people, and she wanted to grasp it as much as possible. Even if you can't get ahead and become famous all over the world, you must at least do something that your ancestors didn't dare to think of.

It is better to die vigorously than to be blinded by others.

So she stayed, so she was known, so she was famous.

This series of consequences is just because of a small thought.

The fame is still a matter of the future, at the moment, she just likes the life of the barracks, in the eyes of the red lady, the most wonderful thing in the world is nothing more than the majestic appearance of the army, the horse is like a dragon, and the sound of thousands of iron hooves stepping over thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

After watching it for two days, she ran to Li Yan and asked for a team for her to command.

Five words quickly floated through Li Yan's mind: What is this called!

Of course, he refused the request of the red lady, in his opinion, a woman as a general, there is no second result except for losing the battle. But the red lady just didn't leave, and he had to agree.

After all, the Red Lady had saved herself twice, it was really hard to refute her face, Li Yan's eyes rolled, he thought about it, and agreed very politely, and let the Red Lady choose it herself, as long as anyone is willing to let her lead, he has no second words.

The red lady had no choice but to agree, but when she went to the barracks and asked, everyone seemed to have heard the most incredible thing in the world, even if the sun came out at night, it was not as shocking as this incident. Almost everyone almost died laughing, and the final result, needless to say, I know, no one was willing to listen to her orders.

When Li Yan heard the news, he only smiled secretly, he had expected this result.
