The generals of Li Jiqian's department knelt on the ground and heard Li Jiqian's question.

There was no sound in the daze.

"Rubbish!"

Li Jiqian roared angrily.

The generals of Li Jiqian's troops, who were kneeling on the ground, trembled all over, for fear that Li Jiqian would kill people violently.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Li Jiqian did not kill people in a violent manner, but put away his angry emotions, and sat on the throne of the party leader that belonged to him with deep eyes.

The generals of Li Jiqian's department suddenly felt that Li Jiqian at this time was very much like an old wolf who was about to break out and hurt people.

The silence at the moment was deep, just the dormancy before he burst out and hurt people.

"The old man led an army of 280,000 to crusade against the wild beggar tribe. If it stops in Guill City, then what kind of face does the old man have to serve as the co-leader of the party......"

"Since the hard bone of Guier City can't be gnawed, then the old man can only retreat and start with other soft bones."

Li Jiqian muttered to himself, and from his tone, it was obvious that he was unwilling.

However, even if he is unwilling, it is impossible for him to really consume Wang Gui, Lao Yang and others in Guer City.

People can afford it, but Li Jiqian can't afford it.

"The order goes down, starting tonight, every night, divide 50,000 troops, bypass the city of Guel, and go to attack other cities in Xiazhou. The old man left 80,000 soldiers and horses under his tent, and all the rest were divided into troops. ”

"Yes."

Li Jiqian decided to divide the troops, so he didn't hesitate.

That night, 50,000 soldiers and horses, under the cover of night, quietly left the camp.

Next.

Li Jiqian continued to attack the city as if he had done nothing, and the offensive was still rapid.

The outcome of the battle was the same as the previous day.

On the same night, another 50,000 soldiers and horses left the camp under the cover of night.

Li Jiqian divided his troops and went out 100,000.

When he attacked the city again, Lao Yang could see at a glance that something was wrong.

After repelling Li Jiqian's soldiers and horses attacking the city.

Lao Yang immediately summoned the generals to discuss in the city gate building.

In the city gate building.

Lao Yang was not very interested, and said in a deep voice: "What the old man is worried about, I'm afraid it will happen." ”

Wang Gui frowned and said, "Li Jiqian has divided his troops?" ”

Lao Yang nodded, "Although he has done a lot of cover-ups, nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses have left, and many of the details are not something he can hide." ”

Wang Gui hesitated: "The leader of the wild beggars should be able to hold it, right?" ”

Lao Yang shook his head, "I don't know, but we should do everything we can." ”

"I see."

Wang Gui immediately went down to prepare.

……

For four consecutive days, the soldiers and horses under Li Jiqian's command were divided into 200,000, and only 80,000 remained.

When the two sides fight again, it can be seen at a glance.

After the soldiers and horses were distributed.

Li Jiqian no longer seems to be in a hurry to break through the city of Guier, and the siege battle is not as fierce as before.

Lao Yang stood at the head of the city, looked at the soldiers and horses of Li Jiqian's troops who formed a siege outside the city, and said in a deep voice: "The attack and defense have reversed ......."

Wang Gui and Mu Yu also saw this.

Li Jiqian is no longer in a hurry to attack the city, and the daily siege battles are basically feints.

But its original intention was to trap the soldiers and horses in the city, so that they had no chance to get out of the city.

Li Jiqian is waiting, waiting for the results of the soldiers and horses he divided.

Once the other cities have been breached.

When the heavy army was again pressed under the city of Guel, it was the time when these people in the city of Guel were destroyed.

At that time, even if Li Jiqian besieged but did not attack, it would consume the soldiers and horses in the dead city.

Similarly, Lao Yang and the others are also waiting, waiting for the news that the soldiers and horses of the Yeqi tribe are guarding the cities.

……

When the news of the battle of Guel City reached Datong City, it would basically be two days late.

When Yang Qi got the news of Li Jiqian's division of troops, it was already two days later.

Yang House.

Inside the study.

Yang Qi's brows gradually furrowed after carefully reading the news that Volcano Wei had detected from Guel City.

Although he was not on the battlefield, he was able to clearly judge the situation on the battlefield.

Even, the news he got was far more comprehensive than Lao Yang.

Yang Qi not only knew the news of Li Jiqian's division of troops, but he also knew the news of the battle between Yu Qing and Li Jisheng in Yinzhou.

Li Jisheng was ordered to lead 10,000 Dingyan troops to exterminate the 30,000 Zhejia army.

The two sides crashed into the city of Yinzhou.

With almost no hesitation, a big battle began.

Although the Dingyan army was strong in combat, it did not gain any advantage at all against the Zhejia army, which was several times larger than the enemy, and the heavy armored cavalry led by Zhi Weizhong.

Although the Zhejia army suffered heavy losses, it relied on the advantage of numbers to stabilize the Dingyan army.

Today, Li Jizhuan is stuck in Yinzhou City.

The Zhejia army camped ten miles outside Yinzhou City.

The two sides engaged in a long standoff.

And the situation of Suizhou's folding royal honor is not optimistic.

Zhe Yuxun was besieged by Li Deming in the Great Wall of Zi and could not leave the city.

Li Deming took the opportunity to divide his troops to re-sweep the Suizhou city that was captured before the Yuxun, and now except for the Great Wall, the entire territory of Suizhou has been recovered.

Judging from the battles everywhere, they are currently in a state of stalemate.

And the real battle that determines the direction of the battle is on the edge of Yinxia.

Lao Yang and the others are in the center of the whirlpool, which is a bit bad.

Yang Qi has never been short of speculating on others with the most malicious eyes.

Therefore, when the situation reached the current point, he did not hesitate to conclude that it was very likely that Ye Qiganbo would not be reliable.

What's more, Yang Qi would not entrust his life to an outsider.

Therefore, Yang Qi immediately asked Peng Pai to send someone to pass the order.

"Order! The Iron Cavalry belongs, the Ranger Belongs, and hurries to the city of Guill. Anyone who encounters resistance will be killed. ”

"Order! Volcano Wei belongs to closely monitor the movements of Guill City, and report every three hours. ”

"Order! The scarecrow belongs, and all the scarecrows who are not in the military establishment are gathered in Fengcheng to stand by. ”

After the military order was issued.

Yang Qi himself was not idle, he personally rushed to Fengcheng.

……

Two days later.

Yang Qi arrived in Fengcheng, and Fengcheng ordered Chen Yao to receive Yang Qi in person.

Under Chen Yao's guidance, Yang Qi entered the most secret warehouse in Fengcheng.

In the northwest, all the armor and equipment under Yang Qi's command are basically hoarded in the Fengcheng warehouse, and the weapon workshop is also in Fengcheng.

This also includes the gunpowder workshop.

The guard work of the gunpowder workshop was handled by Chen Yao and the scarecrow.

Chen Yao was only responsible for the outermost guards, and the guards on the inner perimeter, including the manufacture of gunpowder, were all in charge of the scarecrow.

After entering the most hidden warehouse in the Northwest.

What catches the eye is a well-managed workshop.

The manager of the workshop is Yang Qi's most trusted person.

Horse noodles.

Since Ma Mian secretly disappeared from Yang Qi's side, he secretly took over the workshop for making gunpowder.

When Ma Mian saw Yang Qi, he looked very excited.

He tugged at Yang Qi's sleeve and screamed non-stop.

Yang Qi patiently looked at Ma Mian and gave him a gesture, and then under the guidance of Ma Mian, he visited the entire workshop.

Finally, under the leadership of Ma Mian, Yang Qi entered a more hidden workshop.

Unlike the powdered black powder outside, the gunpowder made in this more discreet workshop is yellow and granular.

The moment Yang Qi saw the yellow particle gunpowder, he shouted in surprise: "You all got this thing?" ”

The horse nodded haughtily, patted his chest, and then pointed to the two scarecrows who were dispensing gunpowder.

Yang Qi immediately understood what Ma Mian meant, and immediately said: "Your identity determines that you can't have too high an identity, and it is also destined that you can't be exposed in front of people."

Benhou can promise you, if you do not have a wife's room, Benhou will help you find a wife's room; If they have a wife, and if they have children in the future, Benhou will give them a normal status, and at the same time, Benhou will give them the corresponding official position.

In addition, the two of you will each be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver. ”

"Thank you, Lord Hou."

The two immediately knelt on the ground and thanked Yang Qi.

Ma Mian looked proudly at the other scarecrows who were dispensing gunpowder and patted his chest.

That means for a reason.

Follow my brother, do things well, and I won't insult your merits.

Seeing this, Yang Qi smiled and said, "The rest of you are not bad, each of you will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver." ”

Suddenly, everyone greeted Yang Qi with joy.

In an instant, Ma Mian's head was raised even higher.

After rewarding the meritorious craftsmen in the workshop.

Yang Qi said to the horse: "Just this kind of yellow granular gunpowder, fill me with a hundred catties, and I will take it away." ”

Ma Mian nodded, and immediately personally led people to carefully help Yang Qi load gunpowder.

After the gunpowder was loaded.

Yang Qi left the workshop, and after arriving outside, he left Chen Yao some design drawings of some items he sketched in his spare time, and asked Chen Yao to look at it and let people build it.

He himself, with gunpowder, went to the place where the scarecrows were assembled.

The scarecrow under the leadership of Peng Pai and Zhao Di developed rapidly.

However, the number of real elites is not very large.

The number of scarecrows gathered in Fengcheng who had not been registered in the army was not large, only three hundred.

Don't underestimate these three hundred people, even if they face several times the enemy, they can easily retreat with their whole body.

Yang Qi divided the yellow granular gunpowder in his hand into three hundred portions and asked them to put them in jars and bring them.

After everything was ready, Yang Qi took the scarecrow and went to Xiazhou.

It took a night to rush to Xiazhou.

A secret report was sent to Yang Qi.

"Gangu Castle Breaks ......"

The wild beggar is really unreliable.

Li Jiqian's plan to divide the troops was successful, and the soldiers and horses of the Yeqi tribe guarding other cities were really unreliable.

In the face of Li Jiqian's crowd tactics, he was easily defeated.

At this moment, Lao Yang and the others are in danger.

Yang Qi was so anxious that he rode his horse and galloped.

As soon as he entered the Wuli Land of Xiazhou, another secret report arrived in Yang Qi's hands.

After Yang Qi entered within 100 miles of Xiazhou, he finally received a report that could be called a bombshell.

"The city of Xiazhou was broken, and the wild beggar Ganbo was destroyed...... Li Ji moved his troops into the city and slaughtered the city...... There is no living mouth in Xiazhou City......"

It is not an exaggeration to describe this report as a bolt from the blue.

The wild beggar is dry, and he died like this?

At the same time, hundreds of miles away was the city of Guel.

Wang Gui hurried to the city gate building, and shouted to Lao Yang with a pale face: "The wild beggar is dead......

Lao Yang stood up suddenly.

"So fast?"

Wang Gui had a bitter face and said, "I didn't expect it to ...... so soon."

Lao Yang frowned, and asked Wang Gui in a low voice, "Do the soldiers and horses of the other wild beggar tribes in the city know this news?" ”

Wang Gui shook his head, "This is the news handed in by the scarecrow under Qilang, and only I know about it at present." ”

Lao Yang said solemnly: "Don't spread this news for the time being." Once the news spreads, the morale of the army in the city will inevitably be in turmoil. You go, immediately gather all the generals of the Datong Army, as well as Mu Yu, to discuss here. ”

Wang Gui immediately went down and summoned all the regiments of the Datong Army, as well as Mu Yu.

When everyone is here.

Lao Yang ordered people to close the gate of the city gate building, and then threw out the bombshell news in public.

In an instant, there was an uproar in the city gate building.

Lao Yang just quietly watched everyone talking there.

When they were almost finished, Lao Yang spoke: "So far, we can't count on the wild beggar tribe. We can only count on ourselves.

The only way to do this is to stick to it and stick to it, there is only one way to die.

Therefore, the old man decided to lead everyone out of the city to fight, and took the opportunity to break through.

Go down and prepare yourselves.

Remember, the news of Ye Qiganbo's death in battle must not be spread.

Whoever spreads out, military law is engaged. ”

Immediately, the generals of the Datong Army, after leaving the city gate building, began to urge the soldiers of the Datong Army in the city to prepare for war.

Even the soldiers and horses of the unwitting wild beggar tribe were urged to start preparing for war.

After dark.

Lao Yang barely gave any explanation, and let all the soldiers and horses gather at the city gate.

When the city gate opened, Lao Yang told all the soldiers loudly.

"Brothers, I've been beaten for a few days. We have enough of this breath in our chests. Now, Li Jiqian has moved to the big and sent out most of the soldiers and horses in the barracks. Tonight, we will attack Li Jiqian's camp at night and capture Li Jiqian alive. ”

It's obviously to break through.

just shouted out of Lao Yang's mouth, and it became a very glorious sneak attack mission.

For a moment, the unwitting soldiers were in high spirits.

It seems that Li Jiqian has been trampled under their feet.

"Kill!"

Order.

The only 50,000 soldiers and horses left in the city of Guill were killed out of the city of Guel.

……

However, just when Lao Yang took advantage of the night to go out of the city to break through.

In a hidden camp in Fenzhou, there was a team of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, who also quietly left the city at night.

After they left the city, they aimed directly to the northeast.

To the northeast of them was the Datong Mansion under Yang Qi's rule.

And at the border of Datong Mansion, Du Jin'e, who had been patrolling for a day, and Yang Si'e, who had also been patrolling for a day, had just met.

The two of them seem to be keen on patrolling.

And it's not just about patrolling.

They are passionate about all things that are going on.

Although the soldiers and horses under their command are only city guards with low combat power, since they patrolled the border, there have been as many as 100 bandits.
