Without waiting for Jiang Rong to be proud for a moment, there was a loud bang, and the front door of the courtyard downstairs was ruthlessly kicked open from the outside, and men in various coarse clothes, carrying bloody swords, went straight to the small building:

"Hurry up for Lao Tzu, tie people up with quick hands and feet, and withdraw for me immediately."

"No!"

The traitors came upstairs in unison, and Jiang Rong, who was still in trouble just now, immediately panicked.

"Rong Rong, it's a thief downstairs."

"Bastards, bastards, these damn dog thieves......"

Tang Tao was so frightened that he hid behind Xiao Chunyu and said timidly:

"Miss, what should I do?"

The next moment, more than a dozen men rushed up to the second floor with fire and swords, led by a black turban tied to his head, and his face was covered in blood. Seeing the three women, the person at the head restrained his murderous aura and bowed slightly, saying:

"Lord Jiang Rong, Miss Xiao Chunyu, don't come unharmed!" The leading man said, his eyes did not forget to sweep the posture of the three women.

Receiving the lewd gaze of the thief, Jiang Rong was immediately annoyed:

"Phew, dog thief. Since you know the name of the lord of this county, you won't let me get out! ”

Oh, Jiang Rong also pulled out the saber, even though she was powerless, the saber was just an ornament, but it was okay to give herself courage.

At this time, I saw the man in charge laughing:

"County Lord Jiang, you will make it difficult for you to do this, if you accidentally hurt the county lord, the county lord will drop the price."

"Phew, dog, you have something to try."

"Hehaha...... Brothers, give me the sword of the lord of the county, and take them all away! ”

"No!"

Everyone pounced on the three girls in unison, Jiang Rong danced twice with a sword, but in the end she couldn't save her fate, and was seized by the rebels, and then the three of them were escorted to a secret place, and then came to the rescue in the Guangxin Mansion, the sky was already dark, and the gang of traitors had already disappeared.

When the news of Jiang Rong's abduction reached the Guangxin Mansion, Chen Yunfeng and Song Ping were taken aback, and Jiang Qian was even more furious:

"Xu Wei, you are guilty!"

"The last will be convicted!" Xu Wei knelt on the ground, the wound on his back was still bleeding, but he could only endure the painful grinning.

"Let me ask you, why did the county lord go to the Xixiang Pavilion in the middle of the night, and why didn't you report to your father after all these years."

"It's the county lord who won't let it, and his subordinates don't dare to disobey the county lord." Xu Wei said truthfully, his forehead was already sweating.

At this time, Chen Yunfeng stepped forward and explained:

"Young master, General Xu is also ordered by the county lord, and he has to do it as a last resort, for the sake of today's plan, he should rescue the county lord from Qin Han as soon as possible, so as to avoid accidents."

"Qin Han!" Jiang Qian gritted his teeth and said: "Xu Yan, and you go down to heal, this crime will be recorded for the time being, if the county lord has a mistake, I will ask you." ”

"Yes, young master!"

Xu Yan went to treat his injuries with the support of the guards, and Jiang Qian hurriedly asked Chen Yunfeng:

"Mr. Chen, Qin Han, this thief must be using my sister to force me to wait, you have a good plan."

"This involves the whole body, Qin Han caught the county lord, with the intention of self-preservation, but also to force the young lord to comply, Qin Han does not achieve his goal, I am afraid he can't let go. For now, there is no other way than to cut off one of his arms, break his plan to capture Guangxin, and force him to exchange his life with the county lord. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"General Wei sent someone to report that the rebels are gathering in the military warehouse to receive weapons and armor, so that the rebels can be concentrated here, if they can annihilate all the soldiers and horses or make a forced landing, Qin Han's capital to seize Guangxin will be gone, and it will be impossible for him to force us to comply.

With Qin Han's temperament, he will definitely not go to the point where the fish dies and breaks his own way of life, and he will definitely use the county lord as a threat to exchange his own way of life. ”

"But the number of rebels is unknown, our army is scattered in four gates, and there are only more than 2,000 people in the mansion, how can Mr. Chen encircle and annihilate the rebels?"

"Wei Xian now controls Yuzhuang, kills Xu Tan, and controls the city government Sima Mansion, as long as he controls the county soldiers, our side will have an absolute advantage in the city, and Qin Han's men and horses can be wiped out."

Qin Hanzhong controlled almost half of the city's industry, and once it was mobilized, tens of thousands of people could be instigated and armed, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chen Yunfeng intended not to let Qin Han use Jiang Rong to blackmail Jiang Qian and Bailiyan, and took the initiative to launch an offensive, so he had to strike first. Before Qin Han could threaten him, annihilate his main force, and quickly take control of all passes in the city and impose martial law.

After all, Qin Han is a shrewd businessman, once the chips and capital in his hand are gone, he will inevitably have to leave a way back. Jiang Rong's value will also change from blackmailing the whole city to leaving a way to retreat, and only by weakening the value of the chips in his hands can Jiang Rong's safety be guaranteed.

Just imagine, if Qin Han had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses and Jiang Rong as a bargaining chip in his hand, and wanted to coerce Bailiyan and Jiang Qian to give up Guangxin, it would obviously be much heavier than only having Jiang Rong as a bargaining chip in his hand. Once Qin Han only has Jiang Rong as a bargaining chip in his hand, the situation will only be unfavorable to Qin Han, and he wants to exchange Jiang Rong for the whole city again, which is obviously wishful thinking, and he can't do it.

At that time, not only will Jiang Rong's value depreciate, but it will also be safer, if Qin Han wants to save his life, he must first save Jiang Rong's life.

Jiang Qian decided to adopt Chen Yunfeng's suggestion, sent someone to contact Bailiyan, informed him of the news that the county lord Jiang Rong was captured by Qin Han, and informed Chen Yunfeng of his plan in detail.

Bailiyan had already learned from Lu Gao at this time that there was a short and fierce battle in the east of the city, and the Guangxin Mansion had suffered a defeat, but the specific reason for the battle was not clear, but he could faintly think that something might have happened to Jiang Rong, and when Jiang Gan's people delivered the news, the situation immediately became tricky.

"General Wei, the situation is extremely unfavorable for our army." Lu Gao said.

"Well, the military warehouse is no longer under control, at least more than 10,000 people are looting, and more than half of the generals at all levels of the county soldiers have been brought up in the last six months. I estimate that most of these new people are Qin Han's people, and among the others, there are also people from the Black Turban Rebels, and they will continue to command the army, which is really reassuring. If all of them are replaced, the morale of the army will be scattered, and it is really a dilemma. ”

After Lu Zhao mixed into the military warehouse, he sent back the news twice, the first time was the failure to seize control of the military warehouse, and the second time was that there were at least more than 10,000 people of unknown origin entrenched near the military warehouse, many of whom spoke with foreign accents, were robbing the weapons and armor of the military warehouse, and armed on the spot.

After all the commanders and generals of the army and battalion of the county soldiers arrived at Sima Mansion, the city capital, more than half of them were not the commanders of the army two years ago, and many of them were newly promoted newcomers in the past six months, and they were all unfamiliar faces.

In view of the current situation, it is obvious that letting them continue to command the troops is a problem for the sake of raising tigers, but if they are all removed and replaced, not to mention weakening their combat effectiveness, the morale of the troops will inevitably be shaken.

After thinking for a while, Baili Yan came up with a plan:

"General Lu Gao, you said that these county soldiers should be organized into crossbowmen and disarm their blades, see if you can do it."

"Shhh...... Only bows and crossbows are allowed, not blades? Lu Gao touched his chin and pondered.

"Exactly, our army chose to send some men and horses to supervise the battle among the county soldiers, if anyone does not obey, kill them! In this way, it will be possible to prevent the situation that will be unfavorable to our army in the event of a mutiny. ”

"This method is good, our army is mixed into it to supervise the army, and the slightest change will kill it. But why are there so many bows and crossbows, and not all soldiers are good at archery. ”

"Bows and crossbows are naturally available, as for whether the archery skills are superb or not, then there is no need for me to worry about it, it is difficult to shoot and injure their own people!"

The threat of the rebels lies in the close quarters of their own personnel, especially in hand-to-hand combat. Therefore, if you change the melee infantry to crossbowmen, and at the same time join your own melee infantry as a formation to supervise the battle, the crossbowmen will minimize the damage to their own men at close range, unless they are willing to risk killing their own people and fire arrows indiscriminately.

"I think this matter can be done, you go to the Guangxin Mansion with the people who come quickly, there should be a lot of bows and crossbows in the mansion, and I will let Lu Zhao and Wu Deng try their best to grab some from the military warehouse, and it should not be a problem to equip more than 10,000 crossbowmen."

In addition, our army's saddle horse has not rested for a day and night, Su Hong and Bai He repaired on the south city wall, after dawn, you lead the Longwu battalion to take over Su Hong, Bai He's Xiao cavalry battalion, I will transfer some men and horses from the Gongfu, and then immediately surround this group of rebels. ”

"The last general obeys!"

There are more than 10,000 soldiers in the county, and the crossbowmen account for 3,000, and the weapons in the arsenal are mainly swords, guns, swords, halberds and light leather armor, and there will not be many bows and crossbows.

After agreeing with Lu Gao, Bai Liyan came to the front hall and announced to the generals the decision of the infantry army to change the crossbowmen, and it was conceivable that he encountered strong resistance and opposition

"The last general disapproves, and more than 7,000 people have changed to crossbowmen, who are hand-to-hand combat." Captain Yi objected

"What you say is good, how can you hand over your blade, and only use the crossbowman to fight hand-to-hand combat, which is really unheard of."

"General Wei won't have won a few battles, let's be whimsical, the infantry army will switch to bows and crossbows, how can it be completed in a day or two, and if the archery is not refined, how can it be combative."

……

Opposition abounded, and Bai Liyan quietly "listened" to the opposition of the generals.

Even if you know that these people have hidden ghosts, sometimes you have to pretend to make a gesture to let some people understand why it is true, and then win over some people.

Often, many times, the things that can be turned into small things and small things are the improper handling strategies, which lead to the intensification of problems and contradictions.

"Generals, although Wei is a newcomer, the time for commanding the army may not be as long as yours, but among you, who can guarantee that there will be more rebels than Wei, if anyone here has fought 120,000 rebels, he can stand up bravely, and the general will immediately recommend Zhao Shuai as the governor of the capital, is there one!"

This sentence is tepid, but it is soft and hard. As soon as the words came out, the generals were speechless for a long time, and the atmosphere fell silent in an instant.

At this moment, the weight of military qualifications is vividly exquisite, whether you are young or have a high rank, if you don't have any convincing qualifications and military merits, anyone below can climb on your head and shit and fart, this is the superiority of qualifications. In many industries, seniority is still the capital of a person to gain a foothold.
