Chapter 105 Reinforcements

The horseshoe slammed against the bluestone slab with a crisp sound, and a cavalryman ran over the grass bridge and returned to the south bridge. An officer of the Wendeng battalion walked slowly to the middle of the north bridge, and stood with his back hand to look at this side, with a proud look.

Li Jiucheng summoned the returning cavalry in a temporarily occupied store, and asked impatiently, "What do the people in the Wendeng camp say?" Have you seen Chen Xin? ”

The family wiped his face and replied: "I didn't see it, the villain was led to Zhenhaimen, and there was a general manager of the Wendeng camp who came out to pick up the paperwork, and then sent the villain back." ”

"Didn't say anything else?"

"I just said that I would ask Chen Xin and Lu Jianjun to decide."

Li Jiucheng showed a slight disappointment, Sun Yuanhua was almost a lifesaver he grabbed, Wendeng Camp was stationed in two places, one south and one north, there were still people and horses in Ninghaizhou, although there were many soldiers in the city, but they were all demoralized, most people didn't want to fight hard, they just wanted to escape with their looted gains.

The only way to escape is the southwest, which leads to Laizhou, if it is the past of stragglers, they can't carry grain and grass, and they can't beat the Shandong soldiers and horses over there, Li Jiucheng asked the officers to explain to the soldiers, and the Liao soldiers can only have a way to survive if they hold a group.

Geng Zhongming was also here, he had already had a way to retreat at this time, and his mood was very relaxed, but on the surface, he frowned, and he said to Li Jiucheng: "Then Chen Xin shelled the east city wall in the morning, and the cannons they used were as fast as shè arrows, and the female wall of the east city was knocked down for a long time, and the people who originally laid it down all retreated a hundred steps back, and there were their men and horses everywhere along the painting river, and they had to be guarded along the river by the police station. ”

Li Jiucheng said: "Now just wait for them to reply, you all go and gather your own people, make a separate list of the old brothers, and bring them to the vicinity of the bell tower, and the three city walls can be defended with some miscellaneous soldiers, if Chen Xin deceives people too much, we will fight with them in the city." ”

Several generals of the rebel army nodded solemnly, Kong Youde was already full of frustration at this time, he had been at the south gate, and saw with his own eyes that the reinforcements he sent were crushed by the other party, and after dawn, thousands of people came from Qixia, if the city was stable, they were not afraid, but now with the nail household of Zhenhaimen, they have nothing to rely on.

Kong Youde looked at the faces of a few people, and said softly: "If Chen Xinru really wants to fight, our people can't stop it, I think we don't need to mention too high terms, as long as we can save our lives." ”

Li Jiucheng interrupted him coldly and said: "No soldier can protect your net worth, Chen Xin doesn't say it, Lu Zhi is not a good bird, you have no soldiers in your hands and wealth on you, that is, the meat is on the board, and any soldier will cut you down." ”

Kong Youde also knew that what Li Jiucheng said was the truth, he was upset, and couldn't help complaining: "When I first arrived in Dengzhou, I asked you to hand over the four components of the run honestly, you didn't believe it, but now it's good." ”

Li Jiucheng raised his eyebrows, and was about to reprimand Kong Youde, when the family ran to the door and reported: "My lord, there is a person from Wendeng Camp over there, and they ask to see Master Sun." ”

The officers in the room all stood up, Kong Youde didn't care about Li Jiucheng at this time, and said directly and loudly: "Take them to see them quickly, just look at the documents who believe it, they naturally want to verify with Lord Sun face to face, go quickly." ”

The other officers urged one after another, and no one waited for Li Jiucheng to make a decision, they all walked outside the store, and saw the representatives of the Wendeng camp coming, and Chen Guangfu also diligently went up to lead the way, and went to Penglai County together to go to the Ya of Penglai County.

Li Jiucheng's face sank, the loose organization of the rebels showed its drawbacks at this time, and his prestige was far from being able to unify people's hearts, and he immediately thought that the various officers would not really transfer their jīng sharply to the bell tower, maybe they were all waiting to negotiate the conditions separately to appease them.

"Hmph, a bunch of rat-eyed people." Geng Zhongming came to Li Jiucheng's side, "At this time, they are still playing their own small abacus, don't they know that if they are together, they will be strong and weak, and they have no strength to fight, they only rely on slavery and servant knees, how can they come to a good appeasement clause, and they will definitely advance and retreat with Lord Li in the end." ”

Li Jiucheng saw Geng Zhongming's face with anger and nodded gratefully.

Li Jiucheng waited for a long morning, during which the officers sent some gathered men and horses to the bell tower, many of them were miscellaneous soldiers and rebellious people, which was far from the jīng rui that Li Jiucheng requested.

After the people of Wendeng Camp saw Sun Yuanhua, Lu Zhi sent a small eunuch to come to see Sun Yuanhua, and asked Sun Yuanhua what he meant in person, and after going back, he waited again, and Wen Dengying began to send people to talk about the terms, the first article they mentioned, there were countless dead and wounded in Dengzhou City, and the emperor must be very angry, and it was difficult to be good if he did not hand over some people, and asked the rebels to find out a group of chaotic soldiers who killed the most people first, so that they could hand over to the imperial court, and they had to see the beheading in person.

Li Jiucheng thought that it was Chen Xin's discordant plan, which would put the rebels in danger and was absolutely unacceptable, but Kong Youde and others thought it was acceptable.

When everyone was arguing fiercely, suddenly there was a burst of cheers from the north, the Flying Tiger Army flag on the city tower kept waving, and several rebel generals looked at each other, not knowing what it meant. Even Geng Zhongming, the Infernal Affairs, is not clear, so I don't know which one Chen Xin is singing.

The rebels near Nanqiaotou were agitated, and Li Jiucheng did not dare to leave here at this time, so he sent his family to suppress the ammunition, and ordered the artillery deployed in the street to start loading, ready to deal with the attack of the Wendeng camp at any time.

Everyone felt inappropriate in their hearts, waiting for the people on the city tower to report, and soon Li Yingyuan galloped over from the east gate, he jumped off the horse with a frightened face, and whispered eagerly in front of everyone: "A large group of soldiers and horses came from the direction of Ninghai Prefecture, I am afraid that there are thousands of people, and the soldiers on the east gate are unstable." ”

Li Jiucheng slapped his palm on the door, "He's fooled again, Chen Xin is using negotiations to delay." ”……

Outside the east gate of Dengzhou, the pond horses carrying the flag on their backs kept coming and going, the flags flew on the official road, the red sè marching army column could not be seen at a glance, the officers' shouting orders and the soldiers' harmonious responses filled the heaven and earth, and the dense rumbling footsteps spread all over the four fields.

Three miles southeast of the city, at the top of Wollongong Mountain, there was once a rebel sub-camp, which was later occupied by the cavalry of the Wendeng battalion. At this time, a red sè deputy chief soldier recognized the flag was flying high on the top of the slope, Chen Xinze stood under the flag, looking at the people and horses in the east, a sense of pride came to his heart, this is his own army, the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty, although it is not large enough, but it is enough to make the heroes look sideways.

Zhou Shifa stood behind Chen Xin, this majestic army made him feel different from the past, there was only a small team with strong combat power before, but now there is a momentum that sweeps in all directions, Chen Xin's back in front of him has not moved for a long time, Zhou Shifa thought of the layout that began last year and the last few rì Zen jīng thoughts, it seems that Lord Chen wants more than just promotion and wealth, Zhou Shifa has some thoughts in his heart, and then he feels a chill.

The sound of cháo's watery "Wansheng" hit, and Zhou Shifa couldn't help but feel shocked, and seemed to let go of his mind, with such an army, anything is possible.

Dai Zhenggang's Qianzong Banner galloped uphill, followed by Liu Pojun, Wang Changfu, Lu Chuanzong and others, they came to Chen Xin and saluted seriously, Dai Zhenggang said loudly: "Dai Zhenggang, the commander of the Ninghai battle group, led the first and second thousand headquarters of the combat group under the jurisdiction of the battle group, the first division, the fifth and sixth thousand headquarters of the fourth thousand headquarters of the reserve battalion, and the second battalion of the provisional auxiliary army arrived, please dispatch. ”

Chen Xin returned a military salute, and the men and horses of Ninghai Prefecture only carried dry rations with them, and traveled 220 miles in a day and a half, demonstrating extremely high tactical mobility, as long as they could build a dense tunpu system and roads in Denglai as a support, they could gain a great advantage in maneuvering.

He was basically satisfied with Dai Zhenggang's appearance, nodded and said solemnly: "The 1,000th Headquarters, the 2,000th Headquarters, and the Fourth General First Division of the Reserve Battalion immediately entered the urn city through the north gate to rest, Wang Changfu led the Fifth General of the Reserve Battalion to be stationed in the Mishenshan Battalion and took over the command of the south outside the city, Zhu Guobin led the cavalry battalion and the sixth general garrison in Wollongong, responsible for the command of the east outside the city, and Liu Pojun was the deputy commander of this battle, responsible for the war outside the city, all departments outside the city need to obey the dispatch, and the city is personally commanded by me. ”

Chen Xin's arrangement is basically that the reserve battalion is outside the city, the soldiers are responsible for the city, and the cavalry is stationed in Wollongong to support all parties.

"You will immediately lead the headquarters to the letter place, you have come to work hard for a long time, give you an hour and a half to rest, and then you will start the attack, and the goal of this day is to recover Dongcheng."

The officers were a little unhappy with Liu Pojun's appointment as deputy commander, after all, Liu Pojun had never commanded a big battle alone, but Chen Xin was resolute and didn't dare to ask more, so he left on horseback, Chen Xin left Liu Pojun alone, and whispered to him: "Do you know why you are asked to be the commander outside the city?" ”

"The subordinates understand, let go of the west." Liu Pojun and Chen Xin have repeatedly staged the Dengzhou Mutiny, and they probably know what to do.

"Yes, if the rebels leave, don't pursue them too much, let them go, and you can find reasons to convince the others."

Liu Pojun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he now knew that this deputy commander seemed to be more like a black cauldron, but he couldn't help but carry it......

In the store south of the grass bridge, all the officers of the rebel army had different faces, and they were all making their own calculations in their hearts, and the large army outside the city was marching north and south respectively, and the division of troops from the north had already entered the city, numbering more than 2,000 people, and the equipment of the good army was at its peak.

They didn't know where Chen Xin had come from so many troops, and it had been more than an hour since these troops entered the city, and although there was no movement, these generals had a bad premonition.

At this time, a family member ran over with a letter and handed it to Li Jiucheng and said, "My lord, the letter from shè across the bridge." ”

Li Jiucheng opened it lightly and handed it to the master next to him, and the master read it gently, "The eunuch Lu Zhisu, the official and eunuch of Denglai, the supervisor of the army, betrayed Li Jiucheng below, my emperor thought about the hardships of the Liao people, and asked the governor of Denglai to contain you and other troops, and looked forward to recovering the old land of Liaodong, but Li Jiucheng generals did not want to repay the effect, one chaos in Wuqiao caused erosion in several counties of Jinan Prefecture, and the second chaos in Dengzhou and Dengzhou was ruined, its fierce greed is not afraid of the law, and the Shangguan is fraudulent and reckless, and the evil flame is unforgivable, and Chen Xinke, the deputy general of Dengzhou Town, has been exterminated by Chen Xinke, the deputy commander of Dengzhou Town, to make an example of ......people."

There was a cannon fire in the north, followed by a continuous cannon shot, and white smoke rose from the north side of the grass bridge and the north city wall, and everyone listened to the letter, and their faces were like ashes.

Li Jiucheng stood up, but he regained his composure at this time, and said lightly: "Chen Xin wants to kill everything, let's fight with him." (To be continued.)
