After Liu Zongmin and Tian Jianxiu returned to the base camp, they immediately found a medical officer to treat Liu Zongmin's injuries. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ШЩЩ.(7)(9)XS.сОМ. The other generals also got the news and hurried over.

At this time, according to the usual practice, the medical officer used pliers to pull out the arrow shaft for Liu Zongmin. But at the same time as pulling it out, it brought out a large piece of 'meat', and even a tough guy like Liu Zongmin was sweating in pain, and his porcelain teeth were grinning. Frightened, the medical officer hurriedly took the 'medicine', but the blood kept gushing out and washed away the 'medicine' powder, and it was finally bandaged after three or four packs of 'medicine'.

Liu Fangliang picked up the arrow shaft and looked at it, frowned and said: "Good guy, the three-edged one, the barb is so long, it's enough to be 'yin' damaged!" ”

Liu Zongmin didn't even have the strength to scold at this time, he leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes to recuperate, and relieved the pain.

Li Zicheng waited for the medical officer to withdraw before asking, "How is it?" Can it still 'stand'? ”

"It's fine." Liu Zongmin replied briefly.

"Then Li Yan's team, is there a way to crack it?" Li Zicheng then asked. Tian Jianxiu had already reported to him before, and he also knew the casualties of Liu Zongmin's cavalry, so he directly asked about the way to crack it.

Liu Zongmin thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Surround them and let those homeless people consume Li Yan's bullet 'medicine' arrows." When he doesn't have any more arrows, we'll be able to deal with it. ”

"How many people will it take? How much time does it take? Gao Yigong asked with a frown. Their current situation is demoralized, and if they 'force' the homeless people to attack, they are afraid that all the homeless people they have gathered will run away. They claim to be 500,000, but there are only 50,000 'fine' thieves, plus the officers and soldiers who surrendered from all over the country, they can fight a small group of bandits, and the selected Ding Zhuang is only 100,000. And other officers and soldiers are also gathering in Kaifeng, leaving them with little time.

Liu Zongmin shook his head and did not answer.

Li Zicheng didn't want to lose the popularity he had just gathered. In the past few days of the siege, a large number of displaced people who have been 'forced' have fled. If he consumes a lot of those outcasts again, his name will be stinky.

He instructed Li Guo: "You bring someone over, and look at Li Yan with the people of 'Jade' Peak, don't let him be too casual." I won't say much about what I told you, just look at Zong Min to know, there is no benefit in being reckless. ”

"Nephew understood." Li Guo hugged his fists and agreed, and immediately went out of the camp to mobilize people.

Liu Zongmin's sarcasm and belittlement of Li Zicheng at this time was also speechless, who made him not only fail, but also injured.

Outside the city, in Li Yan's military formation.

Li Yan looked at the rogue soldiers standing far away, and ordered with a smile: "Go and inform Li Mu and move on." ”

At this time, the morale of the whole army was high, and no one thought that there was any danger in attacking Kaifeng City, where thieves were more concentrated, so he immediately went to inform Li Mou.

Their two formations were one in front of the other, and they were no more than a mile apart. No thieves dared to enter this space, otherwise they would be attacked from front to back, and they would definitely die, so the communication between the two military formations was quite smooth.

After a while, drums began to beat in Li Mu's military formation in front, and the military formation slowly began to move forward. Then Li Yan also stepped on the drum and slowly followed up.

The thieves all stared and watched, and then retreated step by step, always keeping at least three hundred paces away from them.

After a while, Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu rushed over together, and brought 30,000 soldiers and horses. They watched for a while, and also knew that Li Yan's army formation was moving slowly, so they began to calmly move their troops in the distance. Li Guo was in charge of the north and west, and Tian Jianxiu was in charge of the south and east. They adhered to Li Zicheng's intention and surrounded Li Yan's two army formations, but they did not attack or defend on the spot, which just made Li Yan have some scruples.

Li Yan also sensed that the thieves had increased their troops, and they were more organized than at the beginning, so he asked Li Mu to stop. At this time, they had already advanced two miles, and they were able to see the head of Kaifeng City clearly with binoculars.

The soldiers first connected the watchtowers layer by layer on the ground, and then fixed their two feet and pulled them together with ropes to erect the watchtowers. The height of the watchtower is controllable, and this time it was only built two feet high.

Li Yan climbed the watchtower and observed carefully. It was found that they were already surrounded by a sea of thieves. After that, he looked at Kaifeng City and found that the defenders on the city wall had also spotted them, but only to see the scenery. The big 'door' was closed, and it didn't seem to have any intention of coming out to attack the thieves.

He was not disappointed, he did not come to rescue Kaifeng this time, but to carry out an external operation, so as not to let the thieves go to his territory to wreak havoc.

He came down from the watchtower and left the binoculars to the lookout soldiers. He instructed Sun Sifu: "Let the troops rest and take turns to eat." ”

After a while, Li Mu came over from the front military formation. He asked, "Fourth brother, don't you continue to get closer?" ”

"What are you doing in the past?" Li Yan sneered and said, "Only by wandering on the outside like this can they panic." ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "That's right, just let Li Zicheng know how powerful we are." It's better to let them continue to consume, as long as they don't add 'chaos' to our territory. ”

Li Yan asked: "Is it enough to play 'medicine'?" We're going to go back after noon, and we're probably going to have to fight. ”

"Enough!" Li Mu said proudly: "Actually, I didn't let go of a few cannons, and those guys didn't dare to get close." I have consumed a lot of crossbow arrows, so give me 10,000. And the cannonballs of the Tiger Squat Cannon, give me 200 too. ”

Li Yan frowned and said, "Used so much? ”

"Let's not talk about crossbow arrows, one breath can release an arrow. The tiger squat cannon is not slow to fire, five or six breaths is one. However, the 'shooting' was fast and powerful, and the enemy's cavalry did not please just now. ”

Li Yan nodded, thinking in his heart that he would re-equip the scale of the baggage army. In large-scale troop operations, the consumption of ammunition and arrows increases exponentially, and if there is not enough baggage supplies to follow, the besieged army will be wiped out.

At this time, in the city 'gate' building of the south 'gate', the prince of Zhou Wang observed the enemy situation here. He also had a telescope in his hand, which he had asked his subordinates to 'get' from Beijing to play with.

"Whose army is that?" Shizi asked.

Chen Yongfu had already seen it just now and found a banner with the word "Li". So he replied: "It should be Li Yan's army." ”

The prince nodded with satisfaction, the palace did not give Li Yan's happiness in vain, and the gold and silver grain was not given in vain. He instructed: "Let the troops prepare, and go out to fight together inside and outside." ”

"No!" Chen Yongfu immediately said: "Now that the city wall in the northeast is shaking, we must not provoke thieves at this time." If the thieves attack again, Kaifeng City will not be able to defend it! ”

The prince immediately stopped talking, or his family's net worth and 'sex' life mattered. As for Li Yan, who has been surrounded outside the city, it can only depend on his own creation.
