Chapter 123: Procrastination

"His Royal Highness King Ming, have you seen the momentum of the Liao Kingdom? I think there are still a lot of you this time, but I'm afraid there aren't enough to affect the situation of the battle, right? To say less, the soldiers of the Liao State are three with one, and you have more than 20,000 soldiers? ”

Ning Shaoqiu frowned, naturally someone was proud. Shi Zhangkuan saw the hope of life, and began to talk about the wind again.

"The stone is wide, don't worry, even if the city of Lizhou is broken, this king will kill you first!" Ning Shaoqiu said a word coldly, choking so wide that he couldn't say a word.

"Send Ishihiro and Ishizu back to prison!"

Ning Shaoqiu's mood did not improve after fighting with Shi Zhangkuan, but it became heavier, Shi Zhangkuan said naturally the truth, Yelu Hongqi came prepared this time, although he only brought more than 8,000 soldiers, but how many years have people fought, how to say that the estimation of the strength of the enemy and me is much more powerful than Ning Shaoqiu, since he thinks that people are enough, then he must not fight stupidly.

"What's wrong? King Ming, give or not, you have something to say! Ning Shaoqiu's mind turned a thousand times, but Yelu Hongqi at the bottom couldn't wait: "If you make up your mind not to give it, then General Ben will not be polite!" ”

"General Yu, how do you think the other side will attack the city?" Ning Shaoqiu, who was undecided about foreign affairs, did not hold on, and asked directly towards Yu Sibao.

"This, the subordinates don't know for the time being, but the subordinates feel that they should not choose to attack head-on, that is too stupid, it is not a good way at all, the subordinates feel that the possibility of their siege is higher than the blind siege, as long as we can block their previous waves of offensives, we should be able to hold on, the stone wide fortress has just transported back so much grain and grass, enough for us to support two to three months, and during this time, even if we do not ask for support, the court will definitely know, and the emperor will definitely send someone to negotiate at that time, After all, the Liao State is still at war with the Jurchens, as long as His Majesty unites with the Khitan to exert pressure. Yelu Hongqi will definitely not dare to hold on anymore! ”

Ning Shaoqiu listened to Yu Sibao's answer, and felt that it made a little sense, so he nodded: "Okay, notify the soldiers, prepare for battle, and tell them to hold the first few waves!" ”

"Yes! Subordinates do it immediately! ”

Yu Sibao went down to command, while Ning Shaoqiu watched the army of the Liao State fall into deep thought, and secretly said in his heart: If there is a team that can go around the back of Yeluhong's team at this time, will it be able to catch them off guard?

"Wait!" Ning Shaoqiu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered a very serious problem, looking at Yu Sibao, who had just returned to the city tower, Yu Sibao was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong?" What's the look? ”

"Are you sure that Yelu Hongqi is one of these people?" Ning Shaoqiu asked him.

Yu Sibao was also stunned by his question, and didn't know how to answer. He really didn't think about this question: "This subordinate is really not sure!" ”

Ning Shaoqiu asked again: "What if Yelu Hongqi sends troops around at this time?" ”

"This 。。。。。" A trace of panic flashed on Yu Sibao's face, "There are only three thousand soldiers guarding the South City Gate, if this time is really 。。。。。。。 His Royal Highness King Ming, his subordinates immediately arranged troops! ”

"I'm afraid it is... It's too late! The more Ning Shaoqiu thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely: "In this way, you immediately take five thousand soldiers to the south city gate, dispatch in the center, load all the bows and arrows, and send two convoys to transport, and cover the soldiers who are still on the periphery to enter the city gate!" ”

If Yelu Hongqi really brought other soldiers and horses, then the team placed outside the city gate would simply be waiting for death, and they must find a way to let them enter the city.

"Yes!" Yu Sibao hurriedly went down the city tower.

Looking at Yu Sibao's back, Ning Shaoqiu's eyes froze, what he had to do now was to delay Yelu Hongqi's attack as much as possible.

Thinking of this, Ning Shaoqiu shouted towards the bottom of the city tower: "General Yelu, this king has a proposal, I don't know if you can agree to it!" ”

Originally, Yelu Hongqi was about to give the order to attack, but when he heard Ning Shaoqiu's words, he raised his hand and slowly put it down: "King Ming, if you have something to say, just say it directly, as long as you agree to hand over the stone width to me, the rest is easy to discuss!" ”

"Except for the width of the stone, is it okay to have other conditions?" Ning Shaoqiu pretended to bargain with Yelu Hongqi.

"Except for the width of the stone, the rest of the generals don't want it!" Yelu Hongqi's face was non-negotiable.

"That's it! Can you give this king a moment to think about it? Ning Shaoqiu pretended to be very embarrassed and asked.

Yelu Hongqi frowned and thought for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay!" However, General Ben first said the ugly words in front, General Ben has limited time, he can only give you half a pillar of incense, when the time comes, if you don't agree, then don't blame General Ben for turning his face and not recognizing people! ”

"Okay! General Na Yelu, you wait a minute, King Rong Ben will think for a while! Ning Shaoqiu responded, but in fact, he was still not very satisfied in his heart, it was only half a pillar of incense, which was too little.

That's it, let's go wherever we can now!

Ning Shaoqiu asked people to hurry up and urge Yu Sibao to make his movements faster.

The work of half a pillar of incense is not long, but it is not short, at least the vanguard of transporting bows and arrows has arrived.

"Hurry, hurry, speed to the back of the archers. And there are not enough archers, at least two or three times more! Ning Shaoqiu said to a few people who looked like leaders.

"There are archers, but I'm afraid the castle tower can't stand!"

Ning Shaoqiu frowned, and said: "Try to leave as much space as possible to draw the bow, and stand in batches, it would have taken time to prepare the bow and arrows, just so that the attack can be alternated, so that the release of the bow and arrow can be done without gaps!" ”

"Yes!" The chiefs went.

The lieutenant of the Liao State below saw the crowd on the city tower, and said to Yelu Hongqi with some anxiety: "General, there seems to be something wrong on the city tower!" Is this group preparing something in such a hurry? The general can't wait any longer, it's too late for a change! If they're all ready, we're going to stop! ”

"No! General Ben made a promise and said that half a pillar of incense is half a pillar of incense, and even if they are prepared, the soldiers of the Liao State will never be afraid of these soldiers of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"It's okay! Let them prepare! Yelu Hongqi was not afraid at all, "Besides, this half pillar of incense looks like it's almost time, General Ben doesn't believe it, what can they do in such a short time!" ”

Yeluhong outside the city was full of confidence, and Ning Shaoqiu's frowning brows inside the city were almost crowded together: bows and arrows are limited, and they can only resist for a while, if they really want to attack the city, these archers alone will definitely not be enough! Something else has to be found.
