Chapter 176: Three Arrows Set the Army's Heart
"Li Gongzi is patrolling the city, could it be that there are still Fang La's traitors in this city?" In the middle of the night, Ge Zhuang stood at the head of the city to inspect, but saw a team of people and horses in the city, holding torches and walking slowly, couldn't help but walk down, and asked with a smile.

Maybe because there will be a big war tomorrow, the whole city of Hangzhou, at this time in the past, the nightlife has just begun, but today, they have already gone to bed early, or they are hiding at home and calculating something.
"Anything is impossible, anything is possible, I'm just making an assumption." Li Jing attaches great importance to this matter, although even if he leaves Hangzhou now, no one will say anything about him, but thinking of the importance of Hangzhou, Li Jing has to stay in Hangzhou to resist Fang Baihua's attack. The situation on the dock is just one aspect, there are many people who believe in Mingzun in Hangzhou City, who knows if Fang La has bought off others.
"Yes. What Childe said was very true. Ge Zhuang nodded, but he was disdainful in his heart, he followed behind Li Jing, and made it clear that he took a fancy to the power behind Li Jing, as for whether Hangzhou City would be lost, he didn't take it to heart, Zhao Ting was ready to escape, even if he was the best prepared to escape.
"Drive away all the people who are in the houses of this gate, not only this gate, but also the other gates, and let no one appear in the place of those who are fifty paces near the gate." Li Jing thought for a while and said, "Fang Baihua will probably come at noon tomorrow, we still have a chance to change, don't move tonight." Also, how much I asked for yesterday and how much I have prepared. ”
"Although there are some, but after all, they are hastily prepared, and there are not many, and only ten carts have pulled them back." Ge Zhuang couldn't help but say: "I've used this thing before, but it doesn't seem to be powerful!" ”
"Awesome? Hmph, no, we need this thing to help us defend the city. Li Jing shook his head and said: "We have relatively few people, if we want to defeat Fang Baihua, we can only take other means, and the rush of those prisoners can only play a role at the end." So defense is our main goal. Our distress call has been sent, and within five days, reinforcements will surely arrive. ”
"What if there are no reinforcements?" Ge Zhuang couldn't help but ask.
"No reinforcements? It's not sure that there are reinforcements. Li Jing said with certainty: "No one can bear the responsibility for the loss of Hangzhou." You can't do it, I can't do it, and neither can the officials around you, if Hangzhou is lost, you will either be killed by Fang La, or you will submit to the other party, or you will be killed by the imperial court, there is no other way. ”
Ge Zhuang's face was pale, and finally nodded, and said: "Everything depends on Gongzi Li, and I, Ge Zhuang, will definitely obey Gongzi's dispatch." Ge Zhuang also understood at this time, according to Li Jing's thoughts, it was probably impossible to escape, Li Jing even had someone in Zhao Ting's mansion, and once Zhao Ting wanted to escape, he would definitely die in the hands of Li Jing in the end. He Ge Zhuang didn't dare.
"There are lacquer craftsmen in Hangzhou, and General Ge arrested these people overnight, which cannot be underestimated. That Fang La was a lacquer merchant, and no one knew if there was already a layout in the city, so he immediately arrested them and interrogated them overnight. Li Jing suddenly thought of something, his face changed slightly, in the late Northern Song Dynasty, Hangzhou's handicraft industry was very developed, in this place, not only famous for silk, but also lacquer and porcelain, there are many handicraftsmen hidden here, Fang La even the workers on the dock are paying attention, and these handicraftsmen are also being co-opted by the other party.
"I'll go for this." Ge Zhuang's eyes lit up and said, "I promise to let Gongzi get what he thought of tomorrow morning." "Ge Zhuang's favorite thing is to do these things, as long as he catches one, he can wipe out the owners of those lacquer gardens, and he can also ask for a lot of money, which is why Ge Zhuang took the initiative to search for those handicrafts.
"It's just that these are imprisoned, not all of them can be killed, maybe some people are wronged and innocent." Li Jing looked at Ge Zhuang's excited expression and immediately knew what the other party wanted to do, but only sighed slightly.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll definitely treat those people well." Ge Zhuang laughed and led his own soldiers towards the inner city. Li Jing only sighed slightly.
After half a sound, he heard a fire in the distance, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, Li Jing's face was much worse, and there was a shouting of killing, indicating that something happened in that place that he couldn't control. I don't know if it was Ge Zhuang who deliberately killed someone, or if it was Fang Baihua's internal response in the city. If it is the latter, Li Jing has to be careful, because no one knows whether there is an inside line of Fang Baihua in this city.
Sure enough, soon, Ge Zhuang's personal soldiers came to report that there was a small war in the west of the city, there were forty moles hidden in a lacquer garden, and there were big knives in their hands, Ge Zhuang found the other party when he searched, and there was a fierce battle in a hurry, although Ge Zhuang finally won the victory, but there were as many as ten people under his command. Now Ge Zhuang is vigorously searching for various lacquer gardens.
"Hey!" Li Jing waved his hand, this is also a matter of no way, it is conceivable that the entire city of Hangzhou will fall into panic tomorrow, and no one knows if there are still these moles around him. I don't know how many Qi Gardens will suffer tonight, whether they are innocent or really Fang La's traitors, they will be indiscriminately attacked by Ge Zhuang.
In the city of Hangzhou, there were shouts of killing almost everywhere, Ge Zhuang carried out a massacre of the young Zhuang in these lacquer gardens, Li Jing stood quietly on the head of the city, looking at everything under his feet, it was simply that Fang Baihua had not rushed to the city of Hangzhou at the moment, otherwise, at this time, the inside and outside should be together, even if Li Jing had great ability, it would be impossible to block Fang Baihua's attack.
These small wars took two hours to end, almost all the lacquer gardens in Hangzhou were raging, a total of one hundred and thirty-five, there were one hundred and three bandits, more than 500 bandits were killed, and the largest one had 40 traitors, according to the interrogation, these people were related to Fang La, and when the critical time came, more than 500 people attacked the city gate together, seized the city gate, and let Fang Baihua's army enter the city.
After Li Jing heard this, he secretly rejoiced in his heart that 500 soldiers and horses were so important in a big war, attacking a city gate, in Hangzhou City, where soldiers and horses were relatively scarce, could change the fate of the entire Hangzhou City in an instant. After hearing the news, Zhao Ting, the governor of the prefecture, Chen Jian, the envoy of the system, and Zhao Yue, the envoy of Lian Visit, praised this move one after another. Even when those rich people who were a little worried found out that there were really bandits in those lacquer gardens, their nervous minds calmed down, after all, it was not Ge Zhuang who took the opportunity to make a fortune.
Compared with Li Jing's happiness, Fang Baihua, who was marching outside the city, had a gloomy face, her soldiers and horses arrived in Hangzhou City at noon the next day. Zhao Ting, Chen Jian, Zhao Yue, Ge Zhuang, Li Jing and others climbed the city wall one after another, watching the camp of flowers below the city.
The camp stretches for several miles, densely packed, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses, the flag covers the sky and the sun, and the murderous spirit is soaring, as if there are countless soldiers and horses hoarded under the city, waiting to attack Hangzhou City. Li Jing saw that Zhao Ting and the others were trembling with their legs, and there was a burst of contempt in his heart, these civil officials looked down on military generals on weekdays, but after they went to the battlefield, the uneasiness and fear in their hearts appeared.
"Listen to the dog officials in the city, you surrender quickly, Mingzun will lead a large army here, and the entire city of Hangzhou will be wiped out in a moment. Surrender now, and perhaps save your lives. Mingzun has great powers, and he must try to resist in vain. Today, Princess Baihua led an army of 30,000, and Ming Zun personally led an army of 100,000, and then it will come. "A war horse came roaring, and shouted loudly to persuade the city to surrender.
The faces of the people at the head of the city were not good-looking, even the soldiers of the box army around them also showed a trace of fear on their faces, not to mention those who were young and strong, only Li Jing's executioner had a calm face, looking at the rebels below, as if he was looking at the dead.
"If Fang La had an army of 100,000, he would have attacked Hangzhou a long time ago, and he would not have waited until now, it was just a bluff." Li Jing said with a smile: "Take the bow and arrow." "Li Jing wants to deter the three armies and boost the morale of the army, the best way is to kill an enemy, but unfortunately, there is only one enemy in front of him.
Yang Zhi beside him took a hard bow from the side, but he sent three long arrows. Li Jing stretched his bow and set up arrows, and the three long arrows were placed on it, and he heard a sharp roar, and three black lights came out of his hand, and the soldiers who were shouting also found that something was wrong, and was about to dodge, but saw three long arrows whistling, he didn't even have a chance to dodge, and was shot out of the body by three sharp arrows, and the huge force flew up from the war horse with the other party, slamming on the ground fiercely, and did not move, only the war horse was still wandering in place, as if he did not know that his master had been shot.
There was silence at the head of the city, and the enemy just now was clearly a hundred steps away, Li Jing actually shot him with three arrows and nailed him to the ground, and his heart was even more shocked. After a moment of calmness, there was a burst of cheers. The uneasy military spirit was instantly stabilized. Zhao Ting and the others also showed joy on their faces.
"Let's go, let's meet these rebels for a while." Li Jing knew that these three arrows were not enough, and they were just ordinary soldiers who were shot, and only by killing their leaders could they stimulate the fighting spirit in the hearts of the soldiers, so that they would not take the many enemies in front of them to heart.
"Let's go, watch Childe show his might, and kill the enemy." Li Daniu showed excitement on his face, and led the three hundred guards battalion to follow, and rushed out of the city gate in the surprised eyes of everyone.
"Drum cheers." Zhao Ting felt a burst of joy in his heart, and said loudly to Ge Zhuang beside him.
