Chapter 876: Retreat

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Li Zhun's mouth opened slightly, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

Li Zhun was surprised, for Xiao Mo's talent, to be honest, Li Zhun didn't know how much Xiao Mo had real talent, of course...... This is not that Li Zhun has doubts about Xiao Mo's talent, but Xiao Mo's performance over the years, many things that Li Zhun admires and cannot understand very much.

What Li Zhun couldn't understand was where Xiao Mo learned these talents, whether it was Xiao Mo's poems, Xiao Mo's use of soldiers, and the muskets and cannons invented by Xiao Mo.

Li Zhun couldn't figure out where Xiao Mo learned these things even if he racked his brains, but Xiao Mo once said something like 'learning from things', and this sentence was also said by Sage Kong, so Li Zhun could only understand all this as Xiao Mo was proficient in Gewuxue.

After being surprised, Li Zhun said to Xiao Mo: "Ziheng, is this planning to open an altar to give a lecture?" ”

Xiao Mo thought for a while and replied: "Opening the altar to give a lecture, that is what the Great Confucianism did, how can Xiao Mo be virtuous?" It's just a matter of taking in some talented scholars and teaching them some of the things I know, but it will take a while! After the completion of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Mo will spend some years compiling some of the knowledge I know into books, so that it will be convenient to pass on to those students in the future! ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Li Zhun actually gave Xiao Mo a big salute, and then said: "If this is the case, then it is really a blessing for the country!" Ziheng is a man with lofty ideals, and he is indifferent to fame and fortune, which makes the old man admire him very much! If there is a place for the old man in the future, Ziheng just asks! ”

With Li Zhun's promise, Xiao Mo was naturally overjoyed.

Early the next morning, in the Anjun camp, the soldiers of the musket battalion were ready to go.

This time it was to attack Nanjing City, but Xiao Mo didn't have any signs at all before, and he didn't even know about Chong Ge, Liang Zheng and Yang Hong, Xiao Mo's favorite generals.

Of course...... Nanjing City didn't know either.

The soldiers at the head of Nanjing City only saw from a distance that an army had left the camp and then came to the front of the Nanjing City Wall.

Is this going to be a siege?

Is it finally time to siege the city?

Soldiers of the Liao army, you look at me, I look at you...... finally reported to Zhang Yuanzhi.

When he came to the city wall, Zhang Yuanzhi saw Xiao Mo's figure from a distance, Xiao Mo's figure, even if he cut a long distance, Zhang Yuanzhi still recognized it at a glance, it can be seen that Zhang Yuanzhi also 'thinks about Xiao Mo day and night'!

It's no wonder that Zhang Yuanzhi was conceited, but he was defeated in Xiao Mo's hands one after another, and Zhang Yuanzhi was so angry that he vomited blood several times, so Zhang Yuanzhi naturally hated Xiao Mo to the core!

This time, seeing that Xiao Mo only brought more than 1,000 people to Nanjing City, Zhang Yuanzhi couldn't help but think of the news that Xiao Mo had broken through Zhongjing City with thousands of horses.

Hum! A thousand horsemen attacking the city?

Zhang Yuanzhi was angry, do you think I, Zhang Yuanzhi, am Yelu Aluhan? Do you think I, Zhang Yuanzhi, am so easy to bully?

Xiao Mo! You've deceived people so much!

After Zhang Yuanzhi became angry, he said to the guards beside him: "Order the archers to prepare, once the enemy army approaches the city wall, they will be killed with arrows!" ”

As soon as the words fell, in the distance, the An army stopped, and then a thousand people put their muskets on the side, or three or five, or eight or nine people gathered together, and actually prepared some game to barbecue and eat, without the current tension of the enemy.

Such a disobedient picture, coupled with the smell of barbecue wafting from afar, also stimulated the soldiers of the Liao army.

Zhang Yuanzhi's nose was crooked by Xiao Mo, he thought that the army of the An Dynasty was coming to attack the city, and he was ready to let the archers shoot the thousand horsemen, but he didn't expect people to come out like this!

While setting up the fire to barbecue meat, there was still talking and laughing, and in the distance, Xiao Mo was still holding a bowl of wine, and then made a toast to the top of the city wall.

Zhang Yuanzhi was furious, now that the food in Nanjing City had been cut off, of course he knew what kind of temptation such a meat fragrance was for his soldiers!

And...... The people in Nanjing City also began to be restless, they were all hungry, some were so hungry that they were rolling in the streets, they all wanted to go out of the city, but how could Zhang Yuanzhi open the city gate?

So the people were almost about to riot, and Zhang Yuanzhi tried his best to suppress this riot, but now Xiao Mo has come to make matters worse and add fuel to the fire!

Undoubtedly, such a smell of meat is the most irritating to the soldiers and civilians of the city, and ...... Xiao Mo only led a thousand people, so he swaggered in front of you, and then ate and drank.

Obviously, Xiao Mo is forcing Zhang Yuan to go out of the city to fight!

But where did Zhang Yuanzhi dare to go out of the city? Now outside Nanjing, there are hundreds of thousands of An Dynasty troops waiting, as long as the city gate is opened, the An Dynasty army will definitely kill in!

Therefore, Zhang Yuanzhi could only suppress the emotions of the soldiers and the people, and after Xiao Mo's men and horses were eating, drinking and having fun outside Nanjing, they saw that there was still no movement in Nanjing City, so Xiao Mo ordered the withdrawal of troops, and after lunch, the thousand men and horses came to Nanjing again.

This time, Xiao Mo's men and horses were still roasting and eating the same meat as in the morning, still eating and drinking, and the smell of meat seduced the soldiers of the Liao State to flow out of Halazi, and they looked at the soldiers of the An Dynasty with saliva on the walls of Nanjing, and their eyes were about to erupt fire!

Zhang Yuanzhi was very worried, if this continued, these soldiers and civilians would be afraid that they would not be able to help but surrender! Moreover, Zhang Yuanzhi does not have such generals as the Five Tiger Generals by his side now, plus the Liao State has died in name only, and the two emperors before and after are dead, that is to say, if these soldiers and people are really cornered, there will definitely be a riot!

At this time, a horse ran out of the people of the An Dynasty, and the soldiers of the Liao State saw it really on the city wall, and the soldiers of the An Dynasty who rode the horse were superb in riding, and actually hung their bodies on the left side of the war horse, and a shield was set up in front of them!

In such a situation, the bow and arrow could not shoot the man at all, only the horse!

What's the use of archery for just this one person? So the Liao army didn't shoot an arrow, and then watched as the man under the city wall shot an arrow to the top of the city wall.

The arrow had a white cloth tied in front of it, and it was shot right in the attic above the city gate.

The soldiers of the Liao State took down the bows and arrows and handed them to Zhang Yuanzhi.

This is obviously written by Xiao Mo to Zhang Yuanzhi, and the white cloth reads: Tomorrow at noon, out of the city for a decisive battle, Xiao Mo only led a thousand horsemen, and the army of the An Dynasty has all evacuated for thirty miles!

"Too much deception!" Zhang Yuanzhi snorted coldly, and then tore the white cloth open.

At this time, a soldier shouted: "My lord, look! ”

Zhang Yuan looked straight in the direction pointed by the soldier, and then sure enough, he saw that the An army was starting to set up camp and prepare to withdraw!
