The Jing'an army marched all the way and fought, and the soldiers were inevitably tired, and Yu Zhilong knew that Rizhao City had the intention of sticking to it, and Wu Xingde's letterhead could play a role, and he really didn't know the bottom of his heart. He's ready to attack.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yu Zhilong personally led the generals, beating gongs and drums, carrying the dowry, hundreds of people wore red and hung colors, beat gongs and drums, and rushed to Wu's house lively.

Wujiazhai has opened the gate early, the loess is paved, the water is sprinkled on the street, on both sides of the streets and alleys, the courtyard is full of red flowers made of red silk. The cold confrontation between each other the day before has been thrown out of the sky by both sides. The hearts of local households that had been hanging finally landed, and under the promotion of Wu Xingde and other squires, they helped the old and the young one after another, and gathered in the streets and alleys to watch the excitement.

Seeing Yu Zhilong coming in person, Wu Xingde's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he hurriedly led his righteous son out of the house to greet him. The two sides met very happily, it can be said that they met each other as if they had seen each other, only Qian in a big red wedding robe was wearing a pair of big dark circles under his eyes, and he was listlessly accompanied by him. Although he is wearing red and hanging colors, he is a picture of gambling and losing all his family.

Yu Zhilong and the others entered the house and sat down, and the Wu family naturally held a feast. The squires, the elderly, and the soldiers of the Jing'an Army in the outer hall were seated, and Wu Xingde's righteous son Wu Quan. The inner house is prepared with good beef, mutton, fish, etc., specially entertained Yu Zhilong and other main generals, and is accompanied by the most famous local or wealthy businessman who is good friends with Wu Xingde.

Today's beloved daughter has a lifelong support, Wu Xingde was happy in his heart, drank more than a dozen cups at the banquet, and soon his face was flushed like blood. It's just that at noon, there is no news in the city, and Wu Xingde can't help but feel a little ashamed. This shame is covered up.

Yu Zhilong was in Wu's house, and from time to time he entered the inner house from time to time, and whispered to him closely.

"Oh, there is still no movement in Jiaozhou?" Yu Zhilong was surprised, he had been forced to take the sun for some time, it stands to reason that Jiaozhou, which is closest to Rizhao, should have already received the emergency army report from the Rizhao Yuan Army, but the report of the past two days was that although Jiaozhou was rectifying the army and horses, there had been no sign of coming to support.

Rizhao City is not easy to fight, if the troops are under the army, delay the time, drain the morale of the army, and the Yuan army in Jiaozhou will come to the back again, the situation of the Jing'an army will be very bad. Since the enemy army in Rizhao City has not entered the city, no matter what, the Yuan army in Jiaozhou must try to weaken it as soon as possible! Yu Zhilong still has the idea of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, so in the past two days, the Jing'an army has greatly strengthened its reconnaissance of the enemy forces in the north.

The Jing'an army has fought ambushes and field battles, but it has not attacked fortifications, and now there is a lack of engineering weapons in the army, Yu Zhilong is really unwilling to attack Jiancheng.

At the banquet, Yu Zhilong's military aircraft did not avoid Wu Xingde and others, and also deliberately showed favor to Wu Xingde and others. That Wu Xingde knew the opportunity, seeing Yu Zhilong frowning slightly, he said lightly: "When the general first came, he may not know the local customs and folklore, this Jiaozhou Tartar is slow, maybe the little old man can speculate a thing or two." ”

"Oh, come on!" Yu Zhilong and other Jing'an generals immediately came to their senses. When they heard a story, they all put down the dishes and chopsticks and fixed their eyes on Wu Xingde.

Wu Xingde bowed and said: "Dalu Huachi Shuer in Jiaozhou and Wuyan Erduo in Rizhao are both from Tartar wealthy families, although they are both Daru Huachi in the same county, but it is said that the two ancestors were originally the clans of the Western Regions Desert when the Tartar Taizu conquered the west, and because the Taizu was powerful, he had to lead the tribe to annex. Because of the accumulation of military merits in the last two ancestors, the descendants of the two families gradually soared, but the descendants of the family still do not deal with each other. ”

"Wuyan Erduo is almost exclusively dependent on the profits of the city's sea trade, and his family is very profitable, far more than Chishuer. Nachishuer has always been forbidden to get involved in the sea trade, and he has been resentful. Seeing the general's attack on Rizhao today, he must have a desire to repay his old hatred, so he came to help late. ”

If you talk about the poor fertility of Yidu Road, in addition to Yidu City, I am afraid that it is Zhaoyuan and Rizhao. Zhaoyuan has a golden vein, Rizhao has a sea trade, Chishuer had a center and Yiwang Mansion when he was in charge of foreign affairs earlier, but unfortunately he was defeated by Wuyan Erduo, and these places were not able to go. The local performance evaluation over the years is also much worse than Rizhao City, and now seeing that Wu Yan'er is in trouble, it is a great mercy that he does not beat the enemies of the world!

Only then did Yu Zhilong understand. "No wonder the Yuan army in Jiaozhou has gathered for several days, and it has not been opened, but Yidu City is also urging all over the country to come to the aid of Fucheng, so it is also in Yidu City with the slaves first, why didn't Chishuer hurry up to help Yidu? What's more, doesn't he understand the truth of cold lips and teeth? ”

"The good general learned that since Gaoyou Zhang Shicheng opposed the Yuan, the Tartar court has transferred a large number of elites from the road, and went south with Totoku to quell the rebellion, and then the general raised the banner of righteousness in Linqu, and the Tartar soldiers and horses in various parts of the road have been transferred to 7788, and now the officers and troops stationed in various places are mostly Han troops and local rebels!" Wu Xingde said quickly, and in his words, he still said that Yuan Jun was an official army, Yu Zhilong smiled in his heart and ignored it. However, the housekeeper and the squires who sat next to Wu Xingde were nervous, and when they saw that Yu Zhilong's face remained unchanged, they quietly put their minds at ease.

The Mongol army is mighty and still makes everyone's hearts palpitate. Although the country has been established for many years, many of the sons of the noble Mengse have lost the sharpness of their ancestors, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and its well-equipped is far from comparable to the Han army. With the strength of the whole country, the main force of Xingmeng Se marched south, and it also had the meaning of reviving the Mongolian army. It's a pity that under Gaoyou City, everything went down the drain.

"In the past two years, most of the Tartar elites have been evacuated, and the local government has organized more rebels for self-preservation. Chishuer was ordered by Yidu years ago and raised a lot of rebels in the local area, the most famous of which was the subordinate of the Fang family. The old man heard that the Fang family in Jiaozhou had a son who was seventeen years old, so that he had a good weapon in one hand, and he was brave and ruthless, and he really collected some willful people from all over the world, and he was quite famous in the ground. It's just that its skills are strong and arrogant, and it is rare to tolerate people, and it is only called a hero all over the world. If the general sees him before the battle, be careful! The squire in brocade clothes and Huafa interjected.

Qian Zheng couldn't help laughing: "The shaft doesn't know the height of the sky, wait for me to capture him, shame him!" He had been sitting for a long time, and his heart was depressed, and he had long wanted to leave this embarrassing place, but when he heard someone boasting, he suddenly came to his senses.

Wu Xingde's old face turned red, and he hurriedly opened his hand to persuade: "This is just a child's wild words, why should my son-in-law take risks?" "This is no joke, Jing'an Jun doesn't know the weight of this person, Wu Xingde and other locals know how much. In case the money is lost, I can't help but lose the backer of the Jing'an Army, and the little girl's life will be beaten with chickens and eggs! Wu Xingde glanced at the old friend who had just talked a lot, what can't he say, he has to mention this matter in public?

Qian Zheng didn't like it when he heard it, his face was slightly gloomy, and this cheap father-in-law was in a hurry to dissuade him in public, which really made him anxious. Other squires also followed suit and persuaded that on the big day of the little general, there was no reason to take risks in person. Everything is still subject to General Fei's decision.

Yu Zhilong is interested, and this person who can make these local squires value must have some ability. If you have the chance, how can you compete with him? Although he does not dare to boast of his invincible martial arts, he has led the army to repeatedly rush and kill countless times in the battle array, discussing the experience of the battle array, and his conceit is not weaker than others.

Yu Zhilong then persuaded Qian Zheng a few words, and the conversation turned to the customs of Rizhao, the temperament, ability, and experience of the military and political leaders in the city, Wu Xingde, etc., and chose the main ones and answered them one by one.

After all, the military plane is important, the banquet ended quickly, the two families discussed slightly, Wu Xingde instructed Zhuang Nei Yizi Wu Quan and the steward to do some affairs one by one, and he took a few powerful henchmen to personally lead the way for the Jing'an army, before noon, Yu Zhilong led the Jing'an army forward to set off again, and Wu Xingde went to Rizhao with him, and another army was divided into an army, with great fanfare, to the north of Rizhao, and chose a dangerous place to guard.

The army marched quickly, to the foot of Rizhao City, the dwellings along the way were almost empty, and the horses returned, and the Rizhao City had been fortified and cleared, and the people outside the city were migrated to the city. Now the city gate is closed, and the Yuan army in the city is like a great enemy.

The Jing'an army lined up in front of the city, and Yu Zhilong drove the horse to take a closer look, and the city was full of people and banners. Although the regulations of this city are similar to those of Linqu, the circumference of the city is no less than three miles. The Jing'an army lined up in the west, encircling almost half of the city, and an official road to the east of the city led to the seaport to the east. Tanma had already detected that the Yuan army sailors in the harbor had already set sail and sailed to the sea, and now there was no longer a single soldier to be found. Seeing that there were many short and thick black cast iron cannon barrels exposed at the battlements, Yu Zhilong asked about the number of artillery at the head of the city, and Lao Jing personally led a few guards to ride around the city on horseback, and reported no less than fifty or sixty guns.

"Why is there so much artillery in the city?" Yu Zhilong Daqi.

Wu Xingde observed carefully: "Rizhao is near the sea, there are many sea ships coming and going, there are a lot of benefits of sea trade, and a lot of artillery has been purchased and accumulated over the years. He hesitated and said, "The local area is relatively rich, and the local garrison is also equipped with firearms, and there are no less than a hundred of them. ”

Yu Zhilong couldn't help frowning, the military intelligence in the early stage was not detailed, but he knew that there was a port and a salt field outside Rizhao City, and he didn't know that there were a lot of artillery and guns in the port. Now that Liang Si has at least enough artillery, if he is determined to hold on, he is afraid that this city will not be easy to take. As for the firecracker, as long as it is not large-scale, it is not afraid.

Now seeing the swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows and crossbows on the city, and the banners are like forests, it is estimated that the remaining strength of the Yuan army in this city will not be less than three or four thousand, and the number greatly exceeds Yu Zhilong's expectations.

"I didn't expect there to be so many Tartars in the city! How do you take the city? Although Yu Zhilong remained silent, he was secretly anxious in his heart. Knowing this, I regret that I shouldn't have set up an ambush outside Wujiabao in the first place, which led to failure!

When Yu Zhilong was worried that there were too many Yuan troops in Rizhao City, the first in Yidu City was annoyed that there were too few military horses under his command.

"Recently, Fucheng has received reinforcements from various counties, and there are no less than 5,000 righteous soldiers from various counties, plus the new army trained in Fucheng, and now the whole army is tens of thousands. There is still enough grain and grass to support two months! The Guan Jun Wan Hu standing next to him bowed to Ye first in a dumb voice.

"Why did it take all these days to come here? Don't the military towns in each county know that a certain military law is severe? "Yidu City Marshal, also shouted angrily, "Also, the governor's office has already issued a decree to recruit more volunteers in various places, organize and train into an army, and it has been more than a month since the requisition and dispatch orders were issued in various places, why are the local army preparations and grain requisition still so slow?" ”

also turned his head to Zhuo Si, the chief manager sitting next to him, and said sincerely.

Zhuo Sicheng was a little helpless, and replied in return: "The governor's office has already issued an official document in accordance with the marshal's military order, telling all counties to do righteous columns and select young and strong men to join the army to serve. It's just that Dengzhou and Jiaozhou are hundreds of miles away, and it is not easy to requisition; Second, the two counties of Yizhou and Tengzhou were isolated by Zhao Shi thieves, and the four counties of Juzhou have lost their second, and the sunshine is worthy of the thieves, and there is no time to withdraw for a while; The situation is less than the thief all the way to the momentum, along the way the officials and troops are difficult to govern, the military report back: Rizhao County has to stick to wait for help, to resist the thief with a strong city, waiting for the army to help. The officers and troops of Jiaozhou and Dengzhou are also responsible for defending the territory, and I am afraid that they will not be able to catch up with this marshal dispatch! ”

Of course, I know that Zhuo Sicheng is telling the truth.

The military horses of Yizhou and Tengzhou are now not only restrained by Zhao Shi in Juxian and Yishui, but also after the defeat of the imperial court in Gaoyou, Zhang Shicheng has the tendency to advance northward, and Tai Buhua has already urgently ordered all over the country to recruit troops and buy horses, and urgently urge the collection of food and wages, Yizhou and Tengzhou are also subject to its coercion, and they are also among the urging to be recruited, and almost all of the original available elite officers and soldiers in the local area are too unspent to draw on the defense of the south, which makes the soldiers and horses of the two counties Feng also ordered the north to encircle and suppress Zhao Shi's soldiers and horses greatly reduced, and finally the two armies met and fought, and the officers and soldiers returned with a feather!

Panyangfu Road Leader Division 1, County 4, State 2. Eight counties in the state collar Due to the inappeasement of Yidu Road, the Yuan Court temporarily incorporated it into the jurisdiction of Yidu Road. Laizhou, Dengzhou belongs to the Panyangfu Road, the first two battles with Linqu, the two states listened to thousands of military horses, the loss is not small, even this time to listen to the instructions of the Yidu Road Governor's Office, to prepare a new army to help, now it is also to the local righteousness for more.

At present, most of the official soldiers and horses available in Yidu Road are the garrisons of Yidu Road, Huaizhou, Mizhou, Boxing Prefecture, Banyangfu Road, Bindi and other places. In addition, the rebel armies recruited from these regions. The current situation of Yidu City is more than defended and the attack is insufficient.

There were not enough soldiers, and Zhuo Sicheng was forced by the marshal to be unable to do so, so he had to tell the counties to erect flags and recruit a large number of displaced people in the counties. These homeless people have been wandering for many days, living hardships, starvation, and extremely poor physical fitness, and they have heard that they are fighting against the Jing'an Army, which is known as saving the people, and their will to fight is even lower, and it is really difficult to guarantee whether they will fight against the water in the battle array. Jia Daozhen and Zhanping, who were in charge of organizing and training the new army, told him several times that the quality of the soldiers was too low, which seriously affected the improvement of the new army's combat effectiveness. But that's not what Zhuo Sicheng scruples about.

Let's also look at the ten thousand households who are sincerely frightened under the hall, and the ten thousand households are slightly bowed lower and lower. Ai Ai said: "The officers and soldiers of Jiaozhou and the righteous column originally had 4,000 people assembled, but when they learned that the thieves were forced to shine in the city, the original 4,000 reinforcements had to go back halfway to the south!" ”

"Stupid!" also became angry first, and punched on the pear blossom case.
