Chapter 299: Wancheng asks for help

Wang Qing fled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

As early as after the defeat in Yexian, Wang Qing indulged in wine all day long, singing every night.

After hearing that the imperial court sent 200,000 troops to conquer the Qilin army, Wang Qing left Wancheng with Li Zhu on the grounds of the war in Changzhou, leaving a big mess for Liu Min.

Now that Lu Cheng has died in battle, there are only two generals left in the city.

This Nanyang is dangerous.

After thinking about it, Liu Min ordered the left and right sides to let them guard the city gate, no matter who opened the city gate for any purpose, if the enemy attacked with a bow and arrow, and then inform himself. Liu Min himself returned to the county government alone.

After returning to the county office, he picked up a pen and paper, and struggled for a long time, and finally wrote five letters for help on paper, and then stamped his own seal, and was about to put it into the envelope when Liu Min stopped again, and finally took out more than a dozen pieces of letterhead, wrote fifteen letters, stamped them one by one, and finally put them into the envelope. After getting it done, Liu Min sent someone in.

Wancheng is now surrounded on three sides, and only the south gate can escape all the way.

Fortunately, the south gate of Wancheng is a white river, and the south gate is also the most spacious section of the river, so the imperial army will not be intercepted here, and if the imperial army wants to be encircled, it must be encircled on the other side of the river, but how does the imperial army cross the river on the other side of the river? Even if the other side of the river is blocked, the messenger can go down the Baihe River by boat without going ashore, and the lower reaches of the Baihe River in Wancheng is Xinye.

If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens.

For the sake of prudence, Liu Min wrote four copies of each letter, called twenty messengers, and asked them to go to Shunyang, Qiande, Suixian, Xinye, and Miyang to ask for help, so that twenty messengers broke through from the south, even if the imperial army intercepted in the south, twenty could always run away a few, right?

As long as one can get rid of one, once the letter is delivered to any county seat, then the situation in Nanyang will be very good, after all, the soldiers in these five counties are all veterans at the beginning, not comparable to this group of newly recruited peasants.

Moreover, any of these five counties has received the news, and it is bound to send messengers to notify other nearby counties, and when the time comes, all kinds of troops will come to help, and they can also fight with the imperial court in Nanyang, and Liu Min is really not afraid of the strength of the imperial court's soldiers and horses.

If you are really afraid, there will be no Nanyang and Wancheng now.

The defeat of the Qilin army was due to the fact that there were too few of them, and there were only 10,000 soldiers who were insufficient, and once they faced the tactics of the sea of people, it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.

So Liu Min was not surprised, what was unexpected was that he was defeated too quickly, he looked up at the Qilin Army, and the surprise was that the imperial army also came quickly, and the troops had already arrived in the city before there was any news, if it weren't for the current situation in Wancheng, why did he Liu Min have to ask for help?

……

At the south gate of Wancheng, Liu Min personally sent these twenty messengers to board the ship from the south gate.

I hope they can send the letter out, and Nanyang will be saved by then.

Moreover, maybe this is also an opportunity, if the army comes to help knock out this wave of imperial court troops, then the line east of Nanyang will be fully open, and then the strength of the eastern army can directly advance eastward, directly approaching the capital of Bianjing, and then he Liu Min can be the king of heaven under the command of the king of Chu.

It's just that Liu Min's expression instantly froze in less than a few minutes.

The first messenger, who had just landed on the case, was pierced by an arrow on the edge of the riverbed before he could reach the shore, and his body fell into the white river.

On the other side of the river, the lieutenant Chi Sunxin led three hundred cavalry to rush out, and the cavalry behind shot at the messengers on the river, killing two more messengers in an instant. The only thing Liu Min was glad about was that for the sake of safety, all the messengers were alone in a small boat, so that when this side was thrown on the surface of the river, the rest of the messengers who had not yet docked turned the rudder away from this side and went down to the center of the river.

At this moment, they did not dare to cross the river, they only thought about going down the river and finding an opportunity to dock when the time came.

"Hahaha." Sun Xin laughed wildly on the other side of the river, and then left with his cavalry to despise Liu Min.

Lin Chong's 4,000 cavalry, together with Ma Feng and Ning Rong's cavalry, were all scattered, with 300 people as a team, or 500 people as a team, Zhu Wu distributed most of the walkie-talkies obtained from Li Chu to Lin Chong, and Lin Chong distributed these to his subordinates, so that although the cavalry was scattered among the squads, they secretly exchanged positions and information with each other under the effect of walkie-talkies.

The roads from Nanyang to Shunyang, Qiande, Suixian, Xinye, and Miyang were all blocked, and this generation was all plain areas, not even sitting on the mountains, but there were a few small forests, so that this group of messengers had no place to hide.

Moreover, the Baihe River is a new field under the riverside, and those who want to go to Shunyang, Qiande, Suixian and Miyang must leave the Baihe, otherwise they will not be able to go through it at all.

At the south gate of Wancheng, Liu Min gritted his teeth when he looked at Sun Xin, who had gone away.

He underestimated this group of imperial court troops, but he didn't expect that there was already a imperial army in the south of Wancheng, which was too fast, and at the same time Liu Min hated the Qilin army, why couldn't you even stop the imperial army for a moment? Even if he loses, there is a tendency to be defeated, and the whole line collapsed without any warning, and Liu Min hurriedly accepted this reality and was not prepared at all.

"Let's go, let's go back."

Liu Min gritted his teeth, now separated by a white river, he could only watch Sun Xin arrogant over there.

……

At the north gate of Wancheng, Dong Ping continued to fight, continued to scold the head of the city, scolded this Wang Qing turtle bastard, not only the north gate, but also the east and west gates, all kinds of scolding, Han Zhe at the east gate was also red-faced, and he couldn't wait to go out of the city to fight, and it was a straight nest of fire in this city.

But he is different from Lu Cheng, Han Zhe is a little more inspirational, he knows the current situation in Wancheng very well, so he can only find something to plug his ears and let the city scold.

"General Han, they don't seem to be the Qilin Army."

Luo Wen pointed to the group of besieging troops under the banner of the Qilin Army under the city and said to Han Zhe, Luo Wen was originally from Rufen Town, and he also knew Li Chu, but the two often fought in the gambling stalls, and they fought a lot.

Since then, Luo Wen has secretly hated and went to participate in the official recruitment of the Qilin Army, but he did not have enough strength and held a grudge, and met Mang Xiaoer, who was also recruited and selected by the Qilin Army, so he instigated Mang Xiaoer to come to Nanyang to vote for Wang Qing.

It's just that......
