Chapter 124: Xianyang City is besieged
Xianyang City was attacked by a group of unknown rogues overnight, and as soon as the news was reported to the imperial court, the government and the opposition were shocked. After the courtiers and the saint immediately discussed urgently, they temporarily appointed Li Jie, the chief soldier of Hancheng, as the governor, and led 50,000 troops to attack Xianyang.
A few days later, Li Jie received the holy order, did not dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately sent troops to Xianyang City to attack.
At this moment, Li Jie was very worried about Hong Chengchou's safety, and according to his later understanding, Xianyang City was broken by the Liukou. It happened not long after Hong Chengchou went!
Think about it, if Hong Chengchou is recognized by the rogue, he will inevitably be executed by capital punishment. After all, when Hong Chengchou was in power before, he had always been a high-pressure method for the rogues, and the policy adopted was to kill first and then appease.
It is conceivable that the Liukou must not have a good impression of Hong Chengchou, and if Hong Chengchou falls into the hands of the Liukou, there will be no result.
No matter what the reason, Li Jie must rush to Xianyang City as soon as possible!
In the Xianyang City Mansion, Mao Wenlong listened to Xu Fu's announcement in the lobby. learned that Han Cheng had sent 50,000 troops to the crusade, and the leading general was none other than Hong Chengchou's previous subordinate, the chief soldier Li Jie.
The imperial court would send troops to crusade, and Mao Wenlong had already expected it in his heart, so he was very calm after hearing the news.
After the reorganization of Xu Fuzuo, Xianyang City currently has 40,000 troops. When the city was broken, the Dongjiang army killed too quickly, and accidentally killed about 10,000 officers and soldiers.
The remaining 20,000 officers and men were integrated into the Dongjiang Army, although the combat strength of these officers and soldiers could not be compared with the original Dongjiang Army. But if they come to defend the city, it is completely sufficient.
Mao Wenlong laughed cruelly: "The imperial court is going to crusade against us with such a small number of troops, it seems that it is really powerless." ”
Chen Jisheng smiled and asked for battle: "Chief soldier, if you give me 20,000 Dongjiang troops, I promise that these officers and soldiers will not arrive under Xianyang City." ”
Mao Wenlong directly rolled his eyes and scolded: "The Dongjiang Army is our foundation, if you die, you will have one less, how can you let your kid go to harm." ”
With the tall and sturdy city walls of Xianyang, the Dongjiang Army could completely repel the officers and soldiers who came to attack with minimal losses. And now should be the time when the Dongjiang Army is low-key, shooting the first bird and muffling to make a fortune, of course, it is necessary to choose the latter.
was cut off all of a sudden, and Chen Jisheng looked sullen. This guy saw Xu Fuzuo and Adou leading soldiers outside to mix well, and he was also very moved.
Mao Wenlong naturally understands the little caution in Chen Jisheng's heart, but there is no matter of Chen Jisheng at present. Besides, Chen Jisheng's current temperament is too impulsive and easy to make mistakes, so he still needs to stay by his side and take special care of it.
Subsequently, Mao Wenlong ordered Xu Fuzuo to prepare for the battle!
Three days later, Li Jie arrived three miles outside Xianyang with 50,000 soldiers and horses. After setting up camp, he began to send troops to spy on the situation in Xianyang City.
During this period, the Dongjiang Army has been holding its troops and closing the city gates to defend strictly. For the spies of the imperial army who ran outside the city from time to time, they all chose to ignore them.
Adou, who had disappeared for a few days, came back, and he said to Mao Wenlong with a gloomy face: "Chief soldier, we lost it." Haruki was very cautious and could not find their nest. ”
Mao Wenlong didn't blame Adou, if the Fusang Sect was brought down so easily, he wouldn't need to pay so much attention. Let him go down and rest for a good life, and then prepare to fight the officers and soldiers outside the city.
The spies of the imperial court quickly mastered the basic strength of Xianyang City, according to the observations of the spies in the past two days. Li Jie guessed that there should be more than 30,000 defenders in Xianyang City at this time, which is a force that cannot be underestimated.
Li Jie maintained an unoptimistic attitude towards the siege of the city, because the troops were sent in too haste, and he did not expect that the gang of rogues in Xianyang City would be so powerful.
The imperial army was not fully prepared, at least at present, Li Jie's army has almost no siege equipment, and there are only two cannons.
Li Jie was in a predicament for a while, and he didn't know what to do?
Less than a mile away from the imperial army camp, in the hidden grass, Chunmuhua and her little apprentice Lan'er, the two of them were hidden in the weeds.
Lan'er asked her master in a low voice, "Are we going to assassinate the governor of this imperial army?" ”
Haruki didn't look back, and sneered: "Assassination? No, we want to let the army of the imperial court fight with that Mao Wenlong, and it is best if they are both defeated. ”
Lan'er was slightly stunned, and then suddenly said: "The apprentice understands, the master wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman." Let them fight to the death, and then we will send troops to pick up the bargain. ”
Chunmuhua turned to look at Lan'er, who had grown into a slim girl, and said with some emotion: "Unconsciously Lan'er has also grown up, and the teacher did not teach you in vain." Originally, we didn't need to deal with that Mao Wenlong, and we could still cooperate with him. It's a pity that the teacher found out that he is not a good person, but a selfish guy who is not trustworthy! ”
When Lan'er heard the master mention Mao Wenlong, she suddenly had a frosty face: "That apprentice, the master shouldn't have believed him in the morning." ”
Chun Muhua's face was a little helpless, she originally saw Mao Wenlong's strength, and planned to form an alliance with Mao Wenlong to strengthen her Fusang Sect.
The Fusang sect in the Wa Kingdom was already very powerful, and now it is a direct threat to the Fusang sect of Chunmuhua. If you can make friends with Mao Wenlong, it will be beneficial to both parties.
It's a pity that what Mao Wenlong did to her later made Chunmuhua feel cold. Especially at the end, let Adou track their whereabouts, Haruki Hua was already sure that Mao Wenlong was going to get rid of their rhythm at this time.
Therefore, when she got the news that the imperial court had sent troops to crusade against Mao Wenlong, Chun Muhua immediately brought thousands of sect members to watch.
"Don't worry, the division has now seen through Mao Wenlong's character, and this time he just got rid of this person with the help of officers and soldiers. lest he be a curse in the future. ”
As soon as Chun Muhua's words were finished, there was movement behind her again, and after a careful look, she found that it was Ruyin in Luoyang City.
The last time Haruki Hua fled from Xianyang City, she had already been informed to escape. It was precisely because of her timely notification that Ruyin was not bumped into by Xu Fujuan.
"Master!" As soon as Ruyin came to Chunmuhua's side, she saluted.
Chun Muhua smiled, looked at Ruyin carefully for a moment, and did not find any damage on her body, then said with relief: "I wasn't injured in Xianyang City, right?" ”
Ruyin nodded: "Fortunately, the sect leader notified in time, as soon as Ruyin left on the front foot, Mao Wenlong's subordinates arrived behind." Now that Zuixianglou has been sealed, the shopkeeper, the bustard, and many others have been arrested. ”
Chun Muhua said indifferently: "It's okay, as long as you're okay, other people don't know much about us, and Mao Wenlong can't ask anything if he is arrested." ”
