Chapter 308: Bombardment of Xiangyang City (3)
"Then tell me, what's going on with these ships on the river?"
Wang Qing suppressed the anger in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This Qilin army was originally in Xiangcheng County, Rufen Town, and now the imperial court sent 200,000 troops to encircle and suppress the Qilin army, this Qilin army is fighting with the imperial army, Wang Qing is afraid of losing, he first took Li Zhu to Xiangyang.
But it's only been a few days, why did this Qilin Army appear outside Xiangyang City?
What about Fangcheng County?
What about Wancheng?
What about the county?
What about Deng Cheng?
Even if this Qilin Army wants to rush outside Xiangyang City, then what are these four cities that must pass through, what are so many defenders doing, is it possible that even the Qilin Army, which is less than 10,000, can't stop it and can't eat it?
Even if you can't stop it or eat it, then there has to be news for such a big thing, right?
You're going to have to stop it for a few days, right?
Don't say anything else, let's just say that this Wancheng, after the Wancheng was defeated, it took Wang Qing a lot of thought, and after taking Wancheng, he also repelled many waves of encirclement and suppression by the imperial court, as a result, such a strong city Wancheng didn't even have any news, and the Qilin Army appeared here.
Not only Wancheng, but also other counties are doing.
Could it be that the Kirin Army forcibly captured them? But even if it is captured, there must be news.
But now there is no news at all, Wang Qing's scalp is numb, looking at He Ji's face is very bad, he even suspects this He Ji, is He Ji deliberately detaining the news from there and not letting himself know?
It is impossible to say that the Qilin Army is so capable that it can't send any news about forcibly seizing the city.
Absolutely, otherwise there is no way to explain it.
Even if Wancheng and Yuxian can't send news, even if the Qilin Army is fast, what about Shunyang?
Wancheng, Suixian, and Dengcheng are on the only way to go south to Xiangyang, but Shunyang is not, Shunyang is in the west, next to Danjiangze, is it not a road at all. You want to say that the Qilin Army is fast, but everyone has gone to Shunyang, not only fighting Shunyang, but also taking Wang Qing's army into their own.
It's all like this, and I didn't receive any news when I stayed in Xiangyang City.
If you want to say that this He Ji is not suspicious at all, and he is not noble in secret, Wang Qing really doesn't believe it.
Looking at Wang Qing's deeply suspicious eyes, He Ji knelt down directly in fright and knelt down for Wang Qing.
"."
Wang Qing kicked this guy aside, and when he saw this guy, he was annoyed: "Go check, go find out why there is no news at all, if you can't find it, you won't have to see me, just cut it yourself." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." He Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly went down to investigate the matter with a pale face.
Not only Wang Qing, He Ji himself is not stupid, the army of people has come to the door, there is no news here, there is definitely a problem inside Xiangyang City. Thinking of this, when I thought of it, I thought that I was almost slaughtered by Wang Qing, if it weren't for He Ji being the first group of people to follow Wang Qing, and their loyalty and trust were very high, this would have to be replaced by someone else, just Wang Qing's attitude just now, he would definitely cut them down on the spot.
Hum.
After getting out of the city, He Ji's face also turned ugly.
Naturally, it is impossible for him to detain this news, and he also does not know that there is such a big thing in the north that no news will reach Xiangyang, it is definitely someone inside Xiangyang who is playing ghosts, and when it comes to ghosts, He Ji thought of a group of people.
Then he immediately took two thousand soldiers to the local family in Xiangyang.
Those who secretly opposed He Ji, after He Ji came here with his troops, he directly ordered the army to slaughter these families without saying a word.
That family is disobedient, kill!
That family is suspicious, kill!
That house is not pleasing to the eye, kill!
For a while, the people in Xiangyang City were panicked, especially these local scholars were even more frightened, originally this Wang Qing did not dare to go against this group of people after defeating Xiangyang, and sometimes he had to eat the face of the Xiangyang family, but this time it was different, He Ji didn't even say a word, and the army rushed in to kill directly.
Whether it is a woman, an old man, a child, or a servant, no one will be spared.
Some families also organized their rebellion, this rebellion He Ji has more reason to slaughter, this is clearly a ghost in your heart, these news are secretly seized by you, after killing a lot of scholars, He Ji took people to clean the defenders of the city gate and some scribes of the county government, but if you think there is a problem, kill!
In the end, He Ji came over covered in blood to report to Wang Qing.
"It has been ascertained that it was done by Zhou, Cai, Liu, and Zhuge families, and they have been corrected, and all the people who have taken refuge in them in the county government have also been swept away."
Wang Qingduo glanced at He Ji and was very satisfied.
Seeing that Wang Qing was satisfied, He Ji's hanging heart finally fell, and it seemed that this little life was saved.
At this time, Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhu, came over, and he also heard the changes outside the city, and the two of them hurriedly looked for Wang Qing to come over.
"Sir, how is this going to be done now?"
Wang Qing was a little panicked, this rhythm is a little wrong, it's only been a few days since the Qilin Army came here, and his navy has been incorporated, it's not fun to have a navy in Xiangyang.
Looking at the warships and ships interspersed on the river, Li Zhu was also speechless.
"Lord, why don't you attack Xiangyang yet?"
Wu Song looked at the river with some puzzlement, it had been more than two hours since the army arrived at the mouth of the river, and Li Chu had not given an order for more than two hours, so that the army would wait here. There was no action on the side of the navy, but they were shuttling back and forth on the river.
Li Chu smiled and said, "Don't worry, stay up more." ”
Although Xiangyang is a fortress, its military status is very important.
But Li Chu didn't plan to eat Xiangyang.
This meal, you have to take one bite at a time, and if you eat too much at once, it will only break your stomach and be very uncomfortable. Just like Yingchang Mansion, it can be easily won, but Li Chu really didn't, this is not only a matter of support, but also other factors to consider.
This is also the time that after Lu Junyi absolutely surrendered to the Qilin Army, Zhu Wu did not take the opportunity to occupy Yingchang Mansion, but chose to take the army to Yingqiao Town.
Otherwise, at that scene, Zhu Wuneng easily killed Zheng Ci and captured Yingchang Mansion.
Now that the Nanyang region has all fallen into the hands of Li Chu, the territory of the Qilin Army has expanded many times.
The foundation of the Qilin Army is still a bit insufficient, and it will take a lot of time to digest so many cities, especially the Wenchen who manages it, and now they are all recruited temporarily by chasing ducks on the shelves. In addition, farming is imminent, and some places in Nanyang are also in ruins, not only Li Chu, Shi Tianyi and Zhu Wu all have the same meaning, it is recommended to stabilize Nanyang first, and then slowly figure out the rest.
Anyway, now that the Shunyang Navy has been controlled by the Qilin Army, it is only a matter of time before Xiangyang is taken, so I am not in a hurry to eat like this now.
And leaving Xiangyang can also play a role in containing Wang Qing.
As for how to contain it, Shi Tianyi and Zhu Wu both have their own strategies.
But Li Chu paid better attention.
After calculating that the time was almost there, Li Chu ordered Li Xuan and the soldiers of the Shui Army to prepare and release the hot air balloon into the air. (To be continued.) )
