Chapter 1223: Worry
"King Chuang, although Brother Lai Heng lost today's battle, but in the words of the reader, he was also defeated in a non-battle, we can't blame him all, it's really that the fires thrown down by the Jiang Ning army are too evil, and now the morale of the brothers has been lost, let's withdraw first, discuss the countermeasures and fight again another day, right?"
"Yes, King Chuang, as the saying goes, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and it's not too late for us to take revenge when we find a way."
The crowd was persuaded one after another.
Li Zicheng's face was blank, just looking at Qingbomen silently, no one knew what he was thinking.
At this moment, Li Zicheng was extremely irritable in his heart, originally thinking that he would definitely be able to take Hangzhou Mansion in one fell swoop when he came with an army of 70,000 this time, and then start to develop with Hangzhou Mansion as the foundation, which was also the countermeasure he had discussed with Li Yan in the past.
Although Li Yan is now missing, he is still confident that he will take down the Hangzhou Mansion.
It's just that the development of the gaffe was beyond his expectations, the Jiangning army that suddenly appeared gave him too many "surprises", and in less than an hour, Li Laiheng's 10,000-strong team was crippled, and the crippled was not only his men, but also the morale of the whole army.
Just now, there was a green light in their eyes, fantasizing that they could annihilate the Jiangning army that rushed to the aid of Hangzhou Prefecture, and robbed their guns and baggage for themselves.
After everyone was noisy for a while, the voice slowly became quieter, and finally everyone looked at Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng glanced at everyone and said softly: "It's all over?" ”
Swept away by Li Zicheng's eyes, everyone lowered their heads a little weakly, and finally Yuan Zongdi said in a low voice: "We all think that this battle can't go on so hard, and please make a decision." ”
"Determined...... What else needs to be decided? ”
Li Zicheng squinted his eyes slightly, and said in a very low tone, but his voice was extremely cold.
Yuan Zongdi was taken aback by Li Zicheng's words, and his somewhat irritable brain, which was originally bent on withdrawing from the battlefield, suddenly became a little clearer. Feeling Li Zicheng's cold gaze, he lowered his head in a whisper.
"You've disappointed me so much."
Li Zicheng took two steps forward, staring at everyone with his eyes, "The plan to take Hangzhou was discussed with me and the military advisor a long time ago, and you also agreed with it at that time."
The reason why we decided to take Hangzhou in the first place is because Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Suzhou and other places are important towns in the south of the Yangtze River, which contains countless money and grain, and it is also the center of Zhejiang Province, as long as we can take Hangzhou, the whole Zhejiang will fall into chaos.
Not only that, we can also get the huge population of Hangzhou, and it is not difficult to pull out another 100,000 troops, but what about you, when you encounter a little setback, you will all retreat, how can you achieve great things if you are so timid? ”
The more Li Zicheng spoke, the louder he became, he walked up to Liu Zongmin, put his head close to his eyes, and said slowly: "Brother Zongmin, since I beat you and took refuge in me, I asked myself if I have treated you badly." When you first arrived, there were only a few dozen people under your command, and in less than half a year, you have already become a Shenwei general with tens of thousands of troops. But I found that you have more men and horses, but your courage is getting smaller and smaller, and you don't even dare to fight. ”
Since he took refuge in Li Zicheng, it was the first time that Liu Zongmin was said such heavy words by Li Zicheng, and his dark face suddenly turned purple.
"And you, Brother Yuan."
Li Zicheng looked at Yuan Zongdi again.
"You are also the old man of our rebel army, can't you even see this, our rebel army has been forced to a dead end now!"
"Don't look at us now, we seem to be strong and strong, but as long as we lose another battle, it will be as divided as the original battle of Mengjin. I just want to ask you, if you lose this time, where can you escape?"
"King Chuang!"
After being silent for a moment, Liu Zongmin couldn't help but say: "It's not that I'm afraid of death, you have also seen that the fires thrown by Jiang Ningjun are like ghost fires, and they are not at all something that flesh and blood can withstand, and the Laiheng brothers have tens of thousands of horses, and in the end only more than 3,000 people came back."
It's not that we're afraid of death, but going to attack the city like this can only be for nothing! ”
"Yes, King Chuang, those fires are really too evil, and Brother Lai Heng is a lesson from the past." The crowd began to echo again.
"Enough!"
Li Zicheng waved his hand angrily, "It is impossible to collect troops, we must withdraw troops like this." Otherwise, when the Jiangning army and the officers and soldiers in the city have taken a breath, it will be difficult for us to take Hangzhou City tomorrow.
Now, if you still recognize me as the king of Chuang, then hurry up and prepare to attack the city. But this time, we have to change our approach, Brother Zongdi, you lead the people of your headquarters to attack Yongjinmen, and you must put on a posture of attacking the city with all your might.
I concluded that after so many days of attrition, the casualties of the officers and soldiers must be not small, so that they could mobilize their already small forces, so that they could not concentrate on defending the Qingbo Gate.
Brother Zongmin and Brother Yongzhong led people to attack Qingbo Gate, and the two of you took turns to attack, but I want to see how many weapons there are in the Jiangning Army? ”
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts when they heard this, Li Zicheng was going to use his life to fight with Jiang Ningjun.
I wanted to refuse, but in the face of Li Zicheng's coercion, everyone could only choose to obey, they were not stupid, they all understood that if they did not obey Li Zicheng's orders at this time, it would be equivalent to breaking with him, and once they broke up at this time, what would be the consequences waiting for them, even fools understood, Li Zicheng saw through this point before he dared to force them to continue attacking.
The power of the incendiary bomb not only burned most of Li Laiheng's men and horses, but also frightened Pan Ruzhen, who was watching the battle at the city gate.
On the tower of the city gate, Pan Ruzhen, who had not yet recovered from the shock just now, muttered: "This ...... What the hell is this fire, and how powerful it is? ”
According to the inspector, Yan Xiaochen also lost the momentum of shouting about impeaching Yang Feng just now, looking at the blackened corpses in the city, he held the handrail next to him and bent over to spit out all the food he ate today.
Pan Ruzhen shook his head helplessly: "No wonder that Yang Feng is so arrogant and domineering, it seems that he does have something to rely on." ”
Looking at the appearance of the rogue wolves, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried, he was happy that the rogue was beaten so badly, but at the same time, he began to worry about the next situation, if the rogue was defeated, with the strong character that Yang Feng showed just now, Hangzhou Mansion was probably going to be in chaos.
