(

On the morning of the next day, Li Yuntian summoned 11,000 households of the Xiaowu Army to come to the government to discuss the matter, and explained the current predicament to everyone one by one. Copy this address to browse%77%77%77%2e%62%78%73%2e%63%63

"Ladies and gentlemen, as long as we can hold Qingzhou City, then the rebels in Shandong will be trapped in the area between Qingzhou, Le'an and Dezhou, and then turn the tide of the war in Shandong in one fell swoop."

After explaining the current situation, Li Yuntian first stretched out his hand and pointed at the icons of Qingzhou, Le'an and Qingzhou on the map, and then dropped his finger on the icon of Donglin County, looked at the people at the scene with a stern expression and said:

"Therefore, this official decided to fight another battle, attack the rebels besieging Donglin County, and fight with Lord Jin in the city inside and outside, crush this rebel army and weaken the rebels."

Hearing this, the thousands of households present couldn't help but look at each other, the rebels led by Yang Yong are different from the rebels led by Chen Lang, most of them are composed of the rebels' regular army, and their combat effectiveness is second only to the elite of the rebels led by the King of Han, so they will definitely not collapse at the touch of a touch like the rebels in Heihugou, and the two sides will inevitably have a bloody battle, the strength of the two sides is equal, and the outcome is unpredictable.

"There is a good saying, the brave wins when we meet on a narrow road, if we want to hold Qingzhou City, we must defeat the rebels besieging Donglin County, so that the rebels dare not underestimate the defenders of our Qingzhou City."

Li Yuntian knew that everyone had scruples, after all, the rebels led by Yang Yong were not soft persimmons, and after a deep groan, he said loudly, "Now is the eventful autumn of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the time for my generation to make meritorious contributions. ”

"I am willing to follow the adults, and if we don't succeed, we will become benevolent!" Seeing that Li Yuntian was the first soldier and was going to attack the rebels in Donglin County in person, all the thousands of households couldn't help but get up one after another and said to Li Yuntian.

"If you can successfully defend Qingzhou City this time, when the counterinsurgency is over, this official will definitely ask the emperor for credit!" Seeing this, Li Yuntian glanced at the thousand households in front of him, and said quietly. [34415671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 344 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 347

"Thank you, sir!" Thousands of households suddenly looked happy when they heard this, and thanked them in unison, everyone knew that Li Yuntian was a celebrity in front of Emperor Xuande, if Li Yuntian asked Emperor Xuande for credit, Emperor Xuande would definitely reward him vigorously.

After this rebellion, it is a logical thing to be promoted to the rank of knight, and those officials who follow the rebellion of the Han King will definitely be killed, and there will be a lot of official positions vacated at that time, which will be filled by those who have made meritorious contributions in turn.

Since he had made up his mind to stick to Qingzhou City, Li Yuntian immediately posted a notice on the streets, calling on the people in the city to defend the city, and the officials of the government government completed this matter according to the household registration register.

In order to appease the people in the city, Li Yuntian deliberately stated on the notice that all conscripted men would receive a bag of rice grain as compensation for their families, and that after the counterinsurgency was over, they would receive another bag of rice grain as a reward for defending the city.

With the issuance of Li Yuntian's order to defend the city, the entire Qingzhou City was busy, busy with various matters related to holding the city.

At midnight, the gate of Qingzhou City opened again, and Li Yuntian led 10,000 Xiaowu troops to Donglin County to take advantage of the night, leaving only 1,000 Xiaowu troops and 5,000 recruits recruited in Heihugou in the city.

The county seat of Donglin County is more than 100 miles away from Qingzhou City, and on the afternoon of the next day, Li Yuntian and his party finally arrived at a small town 10 miles away from the county seat of Donglin County, and settled down in the town to rest.

Half of the town's people have fled to take refuge in the chaos of the war, and the rest of the townspeople are trembling in the face of the army that suddenly lives in the town.

However, the townsfolk soon discovered that their fears were unfounded, for this army was different from what they had seen before, and it was disciplined and did not do anything that harmed the common people.

As the morning came, the sleeping townsfolk were awakened by the sound of messy and dull footsteps, and they looked out through the windows and doors to see that the town's soldiers had lined up in the direction of the county seat of Donglin County.

According to Li Yuntian's plan, the Xiaowu army was to sneak attack the rebels camped outside the county seat of Donglin County before dawn, and the other party was caught off guard.

Due to the siege of the county seat of Donglin County, Li Yuntian could not inform Jin Rong in the city of his attack plan, but Jin Rong, as a general with rich experience in actual combat, would definitely seize the fighter plane to attack him inside and outside and launch an attack on the rebels.

There are large camps of rebels stationed outside the four city gates of Donglin County, of which the large camp outside the south gate is the main camp, and the tents inside are one after another, with 15,000 people stationed, and the remaining three large camps outside the city gate each have 5,000 people, surrounding the county town of Donglin.

At this moment, the county seat of Donglin County and the rebel camp outside the city were shrouded in a quiet night, and all around was quiet, only the sound of insects chirping from the grass.

The rebels have besieged the county seat of Donglin County for three days, and the rebels have not launched an attack on the city within three days, and the Ming army in the city has no intention of breaking through, and the two sides are quietly facing each other, and the situation is quite strange. [34415671 Ruling the Ming Dynasty] 344 Ruling the Ming Dynasty 347

It stands to reason that Jin Rong had 20,000 men in his hands and had enough time to escape before the rebels' reinforcements came, because the number of rebels besieging the city was limited, and it was impossible to block all four city gates at once.

However, to the surprise of the rebel leader Yang Yong, Jin Rong did not do this, but just stubbornly held on, putting on a posture of stubborn defense.

That's fine, anyway, the order given to him by the King of Han is to besiege but not attack, and Yang Yong also saves the need to forcibly attack the city and cause huge casualties, waiting for the King of Han to send troops to meet, and then take the county seat of Donglin County in one fell swoop.

It is worth mentioning that the king of Han wrote a personal letter to Jin Rong, urging Jin Rong to submit to him, and the promise he had made to Jin Rong was still valid.

On the day the rebels arrived in the county seat of Donglin County, Yang Yong asked the archers to "shoot" the letter of the Han King into the city, but Jin Rong never responded, nor did he open the city gate and surrender.

Surrounded by everyone, Li Yuntian, who was wearing armor, rode a horse to a small hill outside the south gate of Donglin County, and stood on the top of the hill and looked at the silent rebel camp in the distance ahead.

At this time, it was the time when people were the most sleepy, and it was also the time when the vigilance was the lowest, and after glancing at the undulating tents in the camp, Li Yuntian stretched out his right hand and waved forward, giving the order to attack.

Seeing this situation, the Xiaowu troops gathered at the bottom of the mountain drew their weapons one after another, and took advantage of the darkness of the night to "touch" the rebel camp, and the swords and guns in their hands glowed a little cold in the moonlight, and the cold air overflowed.

In the face of the impending danger, the rebels in the camp knew nothing, and even the sentries were dozing with knives and guns.

At the same time, the county seat of Donglin County, the county government.

The front yard of the county government was brightly lit, and many soldiers were busy coming in and out, and in the hall, Jin Rong, who was wearing armor, was convening his thousands of households to discuss the meeting, preparing to break through from the west gate and retreat in the direction of Jinan City.

Before coming to the county seat of Donglin County, Li Yuntian asked Jin Rong to hold on to the county seat of Donglin for at least three days after the rebels attacked, but now that the time of three days has arrived, of course Jin Rong has to flee from the county seat of Donglin County.

Originally, when Yang Yong arrived with his troops, Jin Rong was ready to defend the city, but Yang Yong made a move that surprised him, besieging the county seat of Donglin County without attacking it.

Of course, Jin Rong didn't believe that Yang Yong wanted to trap him in the county seat, because with Yang Yong's troops, he couldn't trap him at all, but Yang Yong did this, so there must be something strange in it.

Donglin County is the only way to Qingzhou City, and Jin Rong did not find that there were rebels from Le'an going to Qingzhou City, which made him immediately alert, and felt that King Han must have set a trap by doing so.

According to common sense, the king of Han should first send troops to take Donglin County, and then attack Qingzhou City, but now the number of rebels besieging the county seat of Donglin County is only 30,000, and the rest of the people are naturally taken away by the king of Han.

What is more important now than the capture of Qingzhou City by the King of Han? Jin Rong really couldn't think of it, and after looking at the current situation in Qingzhou, he quickly figured out the intention of King Han, and he wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate the reinforcements from Jinan City to rescue Qingzhou City, because the information he got before the siege was that Li Yuntian was still in Qingzhou City.

As a result, Jin Rong couldn't stay in the county seat of Donglin County, he not only had to return to Jinan City, but also had to find a way to remind the reinforcements in Jinan City to be careful, so as not to fall into the ambush of the Han King.

As for King Han's letter, although Jin Rong read it, he couldn't take refuge in King Han, otherwise, wouldn't he have become a spineless and capricious villain, where would he put his face at that time?

Besides, although Zhang Hao suffered a defeat in Dezhou, the main force of the Ming army under Emperor Xuande still existed and was stationed in Jingzhou City, and Xue Lu was in Jinan City, so it was not easy for the King of Han to win this war.

Now what Jin Rong can't figure out is why Li Yuntian suddenly divided his troops and sent him to Donglin County, does Li Yuntian want to stick to Qingzhou City by himself? Or is there another purpose?

Just as Jin Rong was arranging a retreat plan for his thousands of households, a loud shout of killing suddenly sounded outside the south gate, which was particularly clear in the silent night sky.

"Oops!" Hearing those shouts, Jin Rong was taken aback, he thought that the rebels were attacking the city, and hurriedly ordered thousands of households to defend the city, and then hurried to the south gate with people.

When he arrived at the south gate, Jin Rong was surprised to find that the defenders on the city wall were not busy defending, but they were all curiously standing in front of the parapet and looking into the distance.

When Jin Rong went up to the city gate tower to take a look, he realized that the shouting of killing came from the rear of the rebel camp outside the city, and some places were already on fire, and countless figures could be seen faintly shaking.

"My lord, what's going on?" Seeing this, a thousand households standing beside Jin Rong couldn't help but look at Jin Rong suspiciously.

"My lord, could it be that the rebels are tempting the enemy, deliberately pretending to be attacked, trying to lure us into battle?" Another Qianhu then said vigilantly.

"No wonder I want to hold on for three days, so that's the case!" Jin Rong looked at the rebel camp that was gradually becoming chaotic, muttered to himself thoughtfully, then turned around and gave an order to the thousand households who followed him in a deep voice, "Pass on the military order of this official, reinforcements have arrived, except for the people guarding the city wall, all the rest will meet the enemy from the south gate and the west gate!" ”
