Not only Li Yuliang is arranging people to inquire about the news, there are also arrangements in Linqing City, at this time Linqing City has begun to close the city gate, whether it is Xuzhou soldiers and horses or official soldiers, Linqing City does not want them to enter, when the Xuzhou Horse Riding Sergeant Regiment and the First Brigade Horse Sergeant Company arrived, Li Yuliang knew that the Xuzhou horse team came to more than 1,700 horses, and if the officers and soldiers poured out, there were still 3,000 horses.

This cavalry battle is different from the foot soldiers, the two armies are fighting in formation, the Zhao army is too strong, you can take out the cavalry and horse team alone to compare, the Zhao family army has no advantage, and even when it comes to the average combat strength, the Zhao family army is even slightly weaker, the enemy is expected to be lenient, and even the number of people has the upper hand, I am afraid that there will be trouble in the garrison outside the city, and the brigade will take three to four days to get to this side.

But since he came, there was no reason to give up, under the command of Xu Yong's side, Li Yuliang mobilized all the forces of the Li family outside the city to build fortifications with the sergeants, and at this time, he couldn't care so much, and directly built fortifications with the bags containing grain at the main point, and the horse sergeants did not want to ride horses to fight with the officers and cavalry, they just wanted to protect the grain and grass here before the brigade arrived.

1,700 mounted sergeants said that it was a few, but it was actually a lot, they brought almost 400 firearms, with about 200 archers, the firepower was really not weak, and the proportion of mounted sergeants wearing armor was very high, which was also a guarantee of combat power.

Although the terrain around Linqing City is a flat river, there is not much open space between the canal and Linqing City, that is to say, the cavalry of the brigade can not actually play the effect of charging and impacting, and make simple fortifications at the key points.

In addition to dismounting and fighting on foot, the sergeants of the Zhao family's army horse team also left hundreds of people to maneuver to fill the gap at any time, and the people led by Li Yuliang were not idle, they were organized to stand by, especially to prepare for firefighting, and prepared fire-fighting equipment such as buckets and yellow sand, if the enemy took the opportunity to set fire, or sneaked in to destroy, they had to react at any time.

The cavalry of the official army is likely to be twice the size of the vanguard horse team of the Zhao family's army, and if they want to fight, there may still be a vicious battle, but Li Yuliang and their minds are quite stable from top to bottom, and they feel that the Zhao family's army and horse team are coming, and the overall situation will be decided.

After the preparations were made here, the official army horse team arrived, but the number was far less than expected, Li Yuliang and they saw only more than 500 horses, which made the Zhao family army guarding the Linqing granary dare not be careless, and thought that the official army was divided into four directions and prepared to fight from all directions.

However, the official cavalry only has more than 500 horsemen, and the action is quite careful, when I see that the granary of the wharf is heavily guarded, and there are already Xuzhou people and horses defending here, maybe the official cavalry is worried that there is an ambush here, and it is not too deep, and they turned away early, which made the upper and lower breathe a sigh of relief, and the next thing is to guard against the attack of the official brigade.

It's just that in another day, the surrounding farms Ding Zhuang will gather, and the Li family's own hired warriors will also come, this Linqing wharf is even more solid, and the officers and soldiers can maneuver in this vicinity are those cavalry, in such a stubborn situation, what can the three thousand cavalry do even if they pour out, after figuring out this truth, people with clear minds have begun to be excited, and even ecstatic!

With Linqing's grain storage as a guarantee, the Zhao family army can go out of the north and even directly approach the Beijing division, the purpose of the Xuzhou army this time can be fully realized, according to the comparison of the strength and weakness of the two sides, by this time, the victory can already be predicted!

When the official cavalry went away, the gate of Linqing City was still not opened, but the bamboo basket was put down from the city, the bamboo basket was the messenger in the city, said the request in the city, if the army needs goods and supplies, as long as the city can provide will do its best to raise, even if the army is not needed, the city will also make up a sum of labor silver, just ask the army not to enter the city, the envoy and the Li family are old acquaintances, the words are very clear, as long as the people of Xuzhou do not enter the city, even if they want a woman, they can give it out.

Linqing is the number one rich place in Shandong and even in the five northern provinces, they are willing to pay money and grain, it must be a big fortune, but Xu Yong and Li Yuliang, who led the team to this side, just sent people away, without making any promises or reply, only said that when the army came, he would care, the messenger was not humble or arrogant, in addition to saying that Linqing could give the benefits here, but also said that Linqing City could levy more than 10,000 people at any time, and the grain and grass in the city were enough to eat for more than a year, and the army wanted to take it down for fear that it would hurt the vitality, right this, Xu Yong and Li Yuliang both laughed.

After the envoy returned to the city in a huff, Li Yuliang began to mobilize the relationship between the Li family, mobilized laborers and people to gather at the Linqing Canal Wharf, and began to prepare for the arrival of the army, while Xu Yong began to send light horsemen to the north, in addition to the news from the inner line, but also to change the military situation on the battlefield immediately.

What surprised the vanguard of the Zhao family army was that the imperial court and the official army had no reaction at this time, and the business travelers were still going south along the canal, and many people found the Zhao family's army after coming to the Linqing area, and everyone subconsciously wanted to avoid the military disaster, but the Zhao family army sergeant on the shore did not harass and intercept at all, but just stared closely, many people simply continued to go south, or went to their destination, but no one dared to go back, not that the people and horses of Xuzhou blocked, but the imperial army crossed, That's a real military disaster.

When the Zhao Jiajun Brigade arrived at the Linqing Wharf, there was finally news back from the North Zhili side, 15,000 soldiers and horses from Xuanfu, 8,000 soldiers and horses from Jizhen, and 20,000 soldiers and horses from Beijing have converged in Tianjin, and the soldiers and horses of Baoding Town have arrived at Suning of Hejian Mansion, Zhending soldiers and horses have been assembled, and they are rushing to Hejian Fuhejian, when Xuanfu, Jizhen and Jingying's nearly 50,000 troops will meet with all kinds of soldiers and horses in the river, but the Shanxi border army is not going well, and now it is out of Guguan to enter Zhending Mansion in Beizhili.

Shandong's fast horse emergency document finally arrived in Beijing, all parties in the capital are angry, this Xuzhou anti-thief really doesn't know what to do, he actually dares to raise troops without authorization, dare to approach the land of Gyeonggi, such a big rebel thief has no second way to choose except to exterminate it, in addition to the impassioned statement, it is also necessary to deal with this, has always been in the harem carpenter's work, and the little eunuchs play with the Emperor of the Apocalypse has presided over several court meetings, these things are very careful.

In the eyes of Donglin Wenchen, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is a lazy character, far more concerned about pleasure than about government affairs, he is now presiding over the court meeting, there must be Wei Zhongxian's participation behind him, this is the eunuch party seeking to recover, taking advantage of the current situation to suppress the Qingzheng Wenchen, with the intention of bringing disaster to the country! Therefore, it is necessary to react as much as possible, and not to give the other party a chance to take advantage of it.

The Jingshi quickly responded, although this "rapidity" was many days late, so that the former Liaodong Jingluo, the military department Shilang Wang was in the Jin Governor's Division, and Zhang Jixian, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, was the main general, unified all the armies, exterminated the Xuzhou anti-thieves, and urgently ordered Yang Zhaoji, the chief general of the Hejian garrison, and Yang Guodong to lead the troops to meet the thieves, so that the Xuzhou thief army could not leave the Hejian Mansion, waiting for the other soldiers and horses to gather and annihilate.

People who are familiar with political disputes are amazed by this arrangement, not that the military strategy is so brilliant in major matters, but this arrangement almost hits all sides of hostility, for example, the former Liaodong Jingluo King Zaijin was impeached and removed by Sun Chengzong because of disagreement with Sun Chengzong, if this time the king made great contributions to the extermination of thieves in Jin, it would prove that Sun Chengzong was very wrong, ignorant of people, and such a figure naturally could not preside over state affairs in the cabinet.

And the arrangement of Yang Zhaoji and Yang Guodong to attack and block is because these two former chief soldiers who have made meritorious contributions are eunuchs, although the thieves are a vulnerable rabble, but after all, they have an advantage in numbers, and they have won many times against Yang Zhaoji and Yang Guodong's department, and this time they will definitely win again, and they can use this defeat to attack the eunuch party and bring disaster to the country, so that the restless Wei Zhongxian party and his party cannot raise their heads.

This time the army will be able to make meritorious contributions to Donglin Qingzheng and completely overwhelm the hostile factions in the DPRK and China, and it can also strike at a contender for the head of the cabinet, and it can also step on the eunuch party again, and it can also eliminate the eunuch henchmen.

"The imperial court's response is very good, we can also fight in a decent manner, now what we have to do is to send more light cavalry and arrange spies to go everywhere, there must be no accidents." Zhao Jin responded.

Now Li Yuliang also has a place in the collegiate discussion of the Zhao family, he is a liaison in the vicinity of Linqing, in fact, his father is more suitable for this role, but Li Inspector is reluctant to come forward, just in the nearby Zhuangzi to raise food and manpower for the Zhao family's army.

After Zhao Jin arranged, he opened his mouth again and said: "Send a message to Linqing City, Kaicheng surrenders after an hour, we only seek complete control of Linqing City, we will not kill officials and change flags, nor will we raid homes and loot, every qiē of the local government gentry can be preserved at present, if the city gate is not opened after an hour, then it will be treated as an enemy army." ”

After saying this, Zhao Jin glanced at Li Yuliang and stated: "We are going to Beizhili, Linqing side should be used as a rear camp, accept the wounded, and support the supply of grain and grass, we can't tolerate a force that is beside us but is not controlled, if the people in the city can't understand this, then don't think about it." ”

Li Yuliang knew that this was Zhao Jin's care for him, and he was worried that he would have any regrets for his hometown, so he hurriedly agreed to go out and make arrangements, the city wall was towering, and he could shoot arrows at the city.

Waiting for Li Yuliang to go out, Zhao Jin opened his mouth and ordered: "Meng Zhiqi, now arrange for artillery correction, and be ready to open artillery bombardment at any time, Lu Da, you lead the Fengpei regiment to prepare, and hand it over to your regiment to attack the city and enter the city!" ”
