The wolf smoke rose from Jingyang County, which was really a big surprise to Zhu Youzhen. Because he had agreed with Sun Chuanting in advance that only as a last resort could he ignite wolf smoke. No matter which side it is, if you see Wolf Smoke, you must save it, otherwise that side may be over. He hurriedly convened the generals of the Qin soldiers to analyze what might happen there.

"Could it be that Li Zicheng sent a partial division to attack Jingyang?" Lee Rae-hyung was the first to put forward his own views.

But this point of view was quickly rejected, because after a few days of fighting, Li Zicheng's troops had been basically figured out, and they were all outside Qinwangzhuang. The generals who led the troops could also see it, and it was obvious that the camp was no longer capable of sending out a partial division. Even if it is really factional, with Zuo Guangxian and He Renlong's men and horses, it is still more than enough to defend the city, and it will definitely not be rushed with wolf smoke.

Li Dingguo put forward another possibility: Luo Rucai, who had been lurking in Jinsu Mountain, sent troops! Although Luo Rucai's subordinates did not have too many famous generals, their troops were better than those of the camp. With his extremely cunning character, it is entirely possible to follow Li Zicheng to pick up cheap.

If this is the case, then Jingyang County will be in danger. Although Zuo Guangxian and He Renlong's cavalry strength was superior to that of the Qin soldiers, the defending side of the city was definitely far worse than the Qin soldiers, because their proficiency in using firearms, as well as the quality and quantity of the firearms themselves, were not good. And Luo Rucai has tens of thousands of troops, and the decisive battle of going out of the city with cavalry is obviously looking for death. Maybe Sun Chuanting couldn't support it, so he had to ask Qin Wangzhuang for help.

Qi Meifeng shook her head lightly and said, "If there are really tens of thousands of troops attacking Jingyang, the momentum must be very huge." Jingyang County and Qinwangzhuang are only more than ten miles apart, why can't we hear any movement here? Besides, the thieves didn't react, if it was really Luo Ru who came, they should merge together, at least take care of each other. ”

Although there are all kinds of speculations, one thing is certain, that is, Jingyang County has reached a critical level and has to be saved!

After a short discussion, Zhu Youzhen quickly made a decision: when Li Zicheng's troops began to withdraw from the siege and their attention was insufficient, he immediately led the cavalry out of the city and went outside Jingyang County to see what the situation was. And the infantry still had to continue to defend the city in case Li Zicheng killed the horse pistol.

It's easy to say, but as anyone knows, it's an extremely dangerous task. There were only a hundred cavalry left in the Qin army, and these 100 people were thrown into the thousands of horses, and I am afraid that they would not even be able to fight, and they would have to be swallowed up by the tens of thousands of thieves.

But the more dangerous it is, the more the generals have to rush to lead the troops. Although the Qin soldiers were only in the army for a short period of two or three months, everyone formed a deep friendship in the fierce battle, and it was really a friend of life and death. Seeing that this task is life-threatening, everyone wants to leave the chance of life to others. Li Laiheng and Xie Yong were in a hurry, and they blushed and had a thick neck because of this matter.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly snorted and said, "Don't fight!" At present, the enemy situation is unknown, and the official positions of Zuo Guangxian and He Renlong are far higher than yours. If you need all the armies to fight together, I'm afraid you will be difficult to control. Therefore, in this battle, the king must go out in person, and General Qi will go with me. ”

"Your Highness, it's too dangerous!" The generals are busy dissuading together.

Zhu Youzhen sank his face and said: "This king has already made a decision, and there is no reason to change it." Why, do you dare to disobey orders? ”

The generals were so frightened that no one dared to say anything, they had already figured out Zhu Youzhen's temper. Don't look at him as usually approachable, sometimes he is a little giggling and unobtrusive; But once a major decision is made, the nine cows can't pull it back!

When Zhu Youzhen saw that the generals were complying with him, he solemnly shouted: "Li Dingguo! ”

"The last general!"

"This king has appointed you as the temporary commander of Qin Wangzhuang, and you will be responsible for the defense of Qin Wangzhuang. We must guard the city carefully, and we must not act rashly and fall into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. The king also grants you the right to act cheaply, and to take the sword! ”

As he spoke, he took off the traceless sword he was wearing, and solemnly handed it to Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo hurriedly raised his hands above his head and took them respectfully.

"Li Dingguo, now you are the chief general of Qin Wangzhuang, from the princess to the pawn, you must listen to your orders, otherwise you can cut it first and then play!" Zhu Youzhen said categorically.

"The last general obeys!" Li Dingguo was so trusted by Zhu Youzhen that he couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement. But he quickly regained his usual composure and said: "Your Highness's troops are too small, and the thieves have not retreated far, if you break through, there will inevitably be casualties." It is better for the last general to lead a small number of soldiers out of the west gate to make a feint attack to attract the attention of the thieves, and His Highness will take the opportunity to break through from the north. ”

"Just according to General Li's plan, act immediately!" Zhu Youzhen said that, he hurriedly walked down the city, ready to get on his horse and go out of the city. Qi Meifeng gently grabbed him and whispered, "Lord Wang, you have been busy for so many days, and now you have to go back to the house to take a look no matter what!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Qi Meifeng meant. She clearly wanted to say that this battle out of the city was extremely dangerous, and everyone had the possibility of dying! said that he would go back to his home to take a look, but in fact, he was going to leave a last word!

Zhu Youzhen's heart shrank suddenly, and in an instant, he couldn't help but hesitate slightly. But when he thought that Jingyang was in danger, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go together!" ”

Saying that, the two of them beat their horses like flies, and soon passed through the inner city wall and came to the Qin Wangfu of the "city within the city". As soon as he kicked off the saddle, the people in the house had already received the news. Headed by Princess Rui'er, the side concubine Bao Yulian, the lord of Lishan County Zhu Cunqi, the lord of Miaoxiang Weng Li Zhenyan, as well as Qiu Linna, Chen Yuanyuan, the four sisters and others all welcomed out of the mansion and surrounded Zhu Youzhen and Qi Meifeng.

"Lord Wang, I heard that the soldiers won a great victory and drove away the thieves!" Rui'er said happily, "You and Meifeng have worked hard for so many days, and now you can finally rest for a while, let Rui'er take off your armor for you!" ”

Everyone also looked at Zhu Youzhen with joy. After not seeing each other for many days, they not only missed Zhu Youzhen very much, but also feared that he would be injured or even killed in battle, so they were worried every day.

Chen Yuanyuan firmly believed in Buddhism, and also set up a small incense case in the house, burning incense and praying three times a day, begging the Buddha to bless Zhu Youzhen for his safe return. The other women didn't believe in Buddhism, but at this time, they were all sick and rushed to the doctor, hugged the Buddha's feet, and followed Chen Yuanyuan to worship the Buddha. Now that I finally saw the prince who I was thinking about for a long time, and saw that although he was a lot thinner and haggard, he was still unharmed, how could I not be overjoyed!

Zhu Youzhen could only say apologetically at this moment: "Rui'er, Yulian, I'm sorry!" Now the situation in Jingyang County is critical, and the husband must lead troops to rescue. The enemy situation is unknown, and I don't know when I will be able to return, so I have to explain some things..."

Rui'er is so smart, before Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, she immediately fell to her knees with a thud, and cried bitterly: "Lord, the concubine can't let you take such a big risk alone, the concubine wants to go with you!" ”

At this time, everyone realized that Zhu Youzhen finally came back for this trip, and he actually left his last words, and they were all shocked, and immediately cried!
