After Jinyi Wei was stationed in Longliwei, he took over the defense of Longliwei.
Residents in Longli City who were reluctant to leave said that with Jinyiwei, their sense of security was "poofing" upward. You see on the city wall, there are people standing during the day and guarding at night, and you are afraid of some rebels.
The soldiers of the Jinyi Guard did not have night blindness, and they had telescopes, and the movement of the rebels in the middle of the night had already aroused their alarm.
At first, the soldiers didn't think it was a big deal, and it was commonplace for the rebels to wander around, searching for targets for looting, and although the rebels wouldn't be diligent enough to rob in the middle of the night, they couldn't be prepared for a freak. The so-called forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds; There are many rebels, and there are all of them.
However, as the number of torches increased, the soldiers standing guard gradually felt that something was wrong, and they reported the situation to the hundred households. Hundreds of households put on their clothes and armor to go up to the city tower, but at this moment when the soldiers reported, the number of torches was even more. Hundreds of households can't bear it, so let's go to thousands of households. When thousands of households went to the city, there were a lot of people, and he couldn't solve this matter, so he had to find a calming envoy.
Among the 5,000-strong army, there were two envoys, one was Chen Guoqi, the envoy of Jinyi Weixi Town, and the other was Wu Huping, the envoy of Jinyi Weidong Town. Who to turn to? Forget it, look for both of them together. There are so many rebels outside, Long Liwei has reached the most dangerous moment, and he should be in the same boat.
The two pacification envoys went upstairs together, looked at it for a while, and their faces changed wildly. The rebels outside were at least 50,000 or more, ten times as many as Jinyiwei. There are clouds in the book of war, and ten rules surround it. This clearly means that the city is going to be besieged. Longliwei is a guard station, but after all, it is located inland, and there are few wars, so the city wall is not high. To make matters worse, Long Liwei didn't even have a moat, and the rebels didn't even have to fill the river. You can directly put the siege ladder on the city wall.
The two of them went together to report to Zhu Youcheng, the commander of Jinyi Wei, the supreme commander of Jinyi Weidong and Xizhen Fusi.
Zhu Youcheng had already fallen asleep, and he slept without his armor. After entering Hunan, Jinyiwei began to sleep with his armor, in case of a sudden situation at night, Zhu Youcheng is the highest commander of the army, and he leads by example, and he does not take off his armor these days. It was a very painful thing to sleep with Jia, and Zhu Youcheng saw that Longli City was still fifty miles away from Guiyang, even if the rebels learned that Jinyi Wei had entered Longli City. It took a day and a half to get here, and Zhu Youcheng liberated himself a little.
Although it was said that he took off his armor and fell asleep, after all, during the journey, Zhu Youcheng did not dare to be too presumptuous, and his sleep was very shallow, and the knocks of Chen Guoqi and Wu Huping woke him up at once.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "Who and what?" ”
Wu Huping and Chen Guoqi shouted in unison: "My lord." I'm Chen Guoqi (Wu Huping), something has happened. It's not good! ”
Zhu Youcheng sighed and said, "How many times have I said it, you two are generals in charge of one side, and you must have a city government." Don't talk about it from afar, just take this official as an example, and see how broad my mind is. Unbelief? You let Tarzan collapse in front of me. I promise that the face will not change color. Say, what's the matter? ”
Wu Huping snickered, every time he reported an emergency military situation, Master Zhu always had to lecture them a few words, and then hear the military situation. He looks even more powerful than them, and he wrestles a lot. It seems that Lord Zhu has to fall off the bed today.
He said: "The rebels are besieging the city, and the number is more than 50,000. ”
The room was very quiet, and Chen Guoqi guessed maliciously that Lord Zhu would not be frightened.
Wu Huping asked tentatively, "Lord Zhu, Lord Zhu?" ”
Zhu Youcheng's calm voice came from the room: "Is the report finished?" Still not leaving? ”
Chen Guoqi asked, "What should I do?" ”
Zhu Youcheng said: "Didn't you have a plan yesterday? It's going as planned. ”
Yesterday's plan was to leave a small number of troops on the city walls to monitor the enemy troops, and the other soldiers slept with the armor. However, that was a situation where no enemy had come to attack, and now that the enemy had assembled under the city walls, and was he still doing so, was it a bit of a child's play to treat war as a child's play?
Chen Guoqi and Wu Huping went up to the city tower nervously, and according to Zhu Youcheng's order, they called the soldiers who were already fully armed down from the city tower and let them rest first. The two of them did not dare to go down to the city to rest, so they stood upright on the tower, and from time to time they used binoculars to look at the rebels outside the city.
The number of rebels grew, from 50,000 to 100,000. Both wondered why there were so many rebels. There are 200,000 rebels in Guiyang, plus these 100,000, the total number of rebels is as high as 300,000, are there so many rebels?
Finally survived until dawn, and there were two brand-new pandas in the city, both of which had a pair of dark circles under their eyes, just like pandas that were respected as national treasures in later generations.
Zhu Youcheng was calm, and he got up slowly to wash up, and then came to the city tower with his armor on his armor, and saw the Jinyi Guard soldiers standing on the city tower full of energy, nodded with satisfaction, and praised: "Yes, you will rest before you fight." Night battles were rare in siege, especially when our troops had already prepared. Last night, the enemy army was just a military dispatch, and the soldiers were gathering, and they would definitely not launch a siege battle, so everyone could have a good rest last night. If we were preparing for battle on the castle tower last night and exhausted our bodies, how would we cope with the next bitter battle? ”
Suddenly, he saw the panda eyes of Chen Guoqi and Wu Huping, and said strangely: "What's the matter with you, have you been beaten?" Master, the two dark circles under the eyes are very symmetrical, one on each side, and the strength control is good. ”
Chen Guoqi hung his head and said dejectedly: "Where, we were recruited, and we didn't sleep all night yesterday." ”
Zhu Youcheng said in an old-fashioned manner: "What did I say? As the wind in the ears. Alas, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you. ”
As he spoke, he shook his head, with an expression of hatred that could not be made of steel.
He came to the battlement of the city wall, looked at the city, took two steps back in fright, and asked, "This is the 50,000 people you are talking about?" There are no less than 40,000 people under this wall, and at least 160,000 people besieging the city. ”
Wu Huping defended: "After we reported the enemy's situation, the enemy increased his troops again. To be precise, now the total number of enemies is 180,000 people. I was idle just now, so I had someone count the number of enemies and get the most accurate result. ”
"How is that possible? Yesterday, I carefully questioned the people in the city who knew about the military situation in Guiyang, and came to the conclusion that Guiyang was surrounded by 200,000 rebel regiments gathered by An Bangyan. Where did An Bangyan get another 180,000 people? Even if all the Yi people of the Ming Dynasty are gathered, they will not be able to gather 380,000 troops. ”
Chen Guoqi lowered his head and whispered, "Perhaps...... Maybe the rebels broke through the ...... of Guiyang"
Zhu Youcheng stepped forward and grabbed Chen Guoqi by the collar, lifted him up, and shouted angrily: "Shut up!" Guiyang is not so easy to break. Guizhou Chengxuan's political envoy Sibu has transferred all the elite soldiers in the guard post within a radius of 60 miles into Guiyang, plus the 5,000 elite soldiers of the brocade guard led by Prince Xin, I am afraid that the strength to break the enemy will not be enough, but there is no problem in defense. In the second year of the Apocalypse, An Bangyan suddenly got into trouble, and Guiyang was caught off guard and surrounded by rebels, which could still last for ten months. Now that the soldiers in Guiyang are full of food, how can they be attacked by thieves? How can it be? ”
The soldiers around were taken aback, they had never seen Zhu Youcheng lose his temper like this. In the past, no matter what the soldiers said wrongly, Zhu Youcheng always smiled and corrected it; Even if someone violated military discipline and affected the reputation of Jinyiwei, he would judge calmly and never shout. Why is it that today he seems to be a completely different person, and he actually reprimands loudly with his confidant.
Zhu Youcheng felt that a drop of warm liquid was dripping from his hand, and when he looked closely, the liquid was tears. It turned out that Chen Guoqi cried and burst into tears.
He put Chen Guoqi down and gently smoothed his collar with his hand.
Chen Guoqi cried: "I don't want this either, King Xin is the eternal commander of Jinyiwei and the closest person in our hearts." Intelligence shows that there are 200,000 rebels under the thief, and now the 180,000 rebels are under the city of Longli, I really can't think of any reason for the thief to abandon Guiyang and besiege Longli. Unless...... Unless Guiyang has fallen. ”
Zhu Youcheng said with a smile: "You think too much, Guiyang will never fall." The news that I led troops to rescue Guiyang has been made known to the world, everyone knows it, the rebels must also know it, and the world also knows my friendship with King Xin. The city of Guiyang is high and deep, and it is difficult to capture. The rebels worked to no avail, so they turned to besiege us. If we are taken, King Shin may take the initiative to open the castle and surrender for my sake. Yes, it must be so! ”
Wu Huping groaned: "Lord Zhu, if Guiyang falls, King Xin will definitely fall into the hands of the rebels. With the despicable personality of the rebels, they will definitely threaten the Lord with the life of King Shin. We'll see later...... Let's see if the rebels will do this, and then we can be sure of Guiyang's safety. (A pie-in-the-sky event, cool phones are waiting for you!)
