To this day, as soon as Li Mo heard a cannon outside the Imperial Palace, the imperial city, which was already on the verge of collapse economically, received another heavy blow, and the northern cities that were close to the vacuum of their strength were even more frightened when they heard the news.

In order to cope with the imminent threat, the governors of the surrounding places, who had lost the constraints of the capital city, blindly expanded their troops to prepare for war, so this sound was like the last straw that crushed the bottom line of patience of the natives.

Now the power of the Tumin team has reached its peak period, the city governments in various places are in danger under the attack of the two brigades from Shangqiu and Xinxiang in the north and south, and many other prefectures have also fallen.

…………

…………

And at this time, a strange brigade fell into the sight of the Mochen Brigade, that is, the "Qingran" brigade commanded by General Qingran.

The Qingran Brigade was originally tasked with extinguishing the rebellion in the border area of the west, but after successfully quelling the rebellion, the brigade received an order from the pawns, and the emperor ordered them not to return to the team.........

So for the past few months, the Qingran brigade has been marching hard in the desolate grasslands and mountains, due to the inconvenience of communication, the news of the death of the emperor in the capital has not reached his ears until now, and at this time his brigade has passed the most dangerous section and is marching to the front line in the north, at the same time, he also learned about the emergency situation of the rebellion of the northern turbulent people in the local poor report, just when he was stunned and half-convinced, his brigade ran headlong into the remnants of the rebel native brigade.

………

………

Both sides were caught off guard and engaged in a fierce battle.

Compared with the enemy team, the Qingran brigade is naturally well-equipped and well-trained, and they did not take these natives into account at first after defeating countless elite horsemen, but these brigades may not be as weak and bully as they imagined, in fact, the remnants of this Tumin brigade have been pursued by many cavalry soldiers and blocked along the road, and the surviving people have already become real fierce warriors in the elimination of the war, and they are not afraid of death and have considerable combat experience, and the Qingran team will naturally not be polite in the face of blocking their escape path.

The battle began to heat up.

Qing Ran was also surprised by the reckless performance of the poor command of the Tumin brigade, because as soon as the two teams took over, the other party pressed the whole team regardless of the consequences, there was no formation and no echelon, and it was the heavily armed man who rushed to the front, and the half-grown teenager was the last to pounce, and the last one to pounce was actually a young woman, and many people were short of weapons and used their fists and kicks.........

Under such a ferocious momentum, the morale of the Qingran Brigade was dealt a heavy blow, and the striker was quickly defeated in the face of the huge pressure of the Tumin Brigade.

Qing Ran was furious.

The elite team can't beat a group of natives?

This result was unacceptable to him in any case, and after replacing the lieutenant general of the former squadron, he immediately ordered the elite squadron to move forward to take over.

But by this time, it was getting dark, and the squadron was moving extremely slowly because it was difficult to see the road. The brigade itself was already very tired after several months of travel, and he was not familiar with the geography of the battle here, so he had to withdraw the order to fight a decisive battle immediately after being dissuaded by other generals, and set up a squad to confront the Tumin brigade from afar.

…………

…………

After dawn the next day, when the Qingran brigade re-established its camp and was about to take over, it suddenly found that the gang of bandits on the opposite side had left only some old and weak people as suspicious teams, and its main force had disappeared overnight.........

After a short battle, the suspicious team was captured with a single drum.

After interrogating the captives, I learned that the other party was a local, familiar with the terrain, and seeing that the other party was strong, he didn't plan to run into each other, and after the truce last night, he secretly spared the Qingran brigade and fled in the direction of the southern boundary.

After losing their opponents, the Qingran brigade had to stop and camp again.

Now there are two choices in front of Qing Ran, one is to follow the emperor's order before his death, and the whole team will reinforce the front line in the north, and the other is to immediately return to the capital city of the team and recover the capital city occupied by the rebel team.

As the most favored and important general of the former emperor, Qing Ran certainly did not hesitate to choose to return to the capital city of the team, and this decision was also approved by the whole team.........

The wives and children of these soldiers are all in the capital city, and they are either the capital city garrison or the people of the major noble households, so compared to the brigades in other places, the impact on them is much more serious, if it weren't for Qing Ran's effective control, they may have mutinied and collapsed.

The homesick brigade immediately embarked on the journey back.

In the name of chasing down the local fugitives, Qing Ran rejected the requests for help from all the local messengers in the cities, and marched towards the capital city with all his might.

The brigade that moved extremely quickly and desperately wanted to return home was undoubtedly the most terrifying, and the explosion of combat effectiveness of this brigade on the way back shocked everyone.

Soon, just when the battle between the Qingran Brigade and the Tumin Team was famous, half a month had passed.

Rampage from the north to the territory of the capital city.

When Li Moyi and the others finally realized that the strategic intention of this revival brigade was his, the Qingran brigade had already entered the territory of Zhili.

…………

…………

The arrival of the Qingran brigade still made Tong Wugu, the governor of Zhili, overjoyed, and in order to show his happy attitude, he personally ran to a hundred miles away to greet him.

When Qing Ran saw Tong Wugu, she was taken aback.

But I haven't seen him for half a year, and the former eldest son of the Tong family seems to be a little old man in his last years at the moment, and his original black hair is now more than half white.

As soon as he saw Qing Ran, Tong Wugu hurriedly grabbed his hand, almost about to shed tears, "General Qing Ran is finally here, the bandits in the capital city are flourishing, and the governor is struggling to support it, and the hope of the reinforcement team is like the hope of the great drought and the hope of the homeland of the child........."

"The big handsome is serious.................. "Qing Ran was startled when he heard such heavy words as the homeland of the child, and hurriedly let go of Tong Wugu's hand, and Zhengse said, "What is the situation of Li Bandit's department now, I hope the big marshal will .........tell you the truth."

"Alas, General Qingran, the rebel bandit Li Rebel, since the sneak attack on the capital city, this month to recruit the rebellion, coerced the capital city Ding Zhuang from the team, the strength is getting stronger and stronger, according to the spies report, now the Li bandit has the whole territory of the Tianfu, the team strength has reached 1 or 20,000 people, known as the undefeated division........."

"Huh?"

Qing Ran was stunned for a moment, and then said suspiciously, "How is this possible?" I heard that the headquarters of the Li bandits is only a few thousand people, how can it expand so quickly in less than a few months? ”

Tong Wugu smiled bitterly, "The general doesn't know, after the fall of the capital city, the grain and grass team of the treasury and the weapons of the army have all fallen to the enemy, the former emperor has a long-term vision, and has been hoarded by the team for many years, and the number is more than 10 million, with this basis, Li Bandit is naturally very easy to sit on the big ........."

Qing Ran's heart sank suddenly, his brigade had about 15,000 people when he left the capital city, after many red battles, his strength was greatly damaged, and until now there were only more than 5,000 left in the whole team, and there were many new pawns and prisoners who were replenished along the road, at this time, I heard that the strength of the Mochen brigade was so huge, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly, "Tong Gong, I won't tell you, my brigade is only more than 5,000 people now, it seems that this battle is difficult to .........fight" He thought for a while, and continued, "How is the training of the Li bandit department?" How's the morale? ”

Tong Wugu had a happy face, "The general doesn't have to worry, Li Bandit's department has drafted the team, how can it achieve an elite division in just one month?" ……… Although his department is well-equipped, how can a rebellious thief win the hearts of the people, and the people of the capital have been educated for me for many years, how can they be willing to be a thief? ”

After a pause, "......... At this time, the people rebelled against this Li bandit, but it was just a false response. According to the spies in the capital, most of the anti-thieves came for forcible conscription, and their morale can be imagined......... "He arched his hand to Qing Ran," the general fought countless battles, swept all over the place, and everywhere he went, the rebels fled and became famous......... If the general can defeat the main force of the Li bandits, this rabble will definitely collapse........."

Qing Ran's heart was a little wider, but he didn't dare to believe too much in Tong Wugu's words, this guy was born in Wencha, he used to be a famous gentleman in the capital city, according to past experience, these people always like to see the war too simple, when they are weak, they are extremely afraid, and after getting strong reinforcements, they immediately raise their toes, as if as long as Wang Shi hits the rebels, he will immediately finish, he smiled bitterly and said, "Tong Shuai, how many soldiers do you have in Zhili?" ”

"Recently, the world has changed greatly, and the governor has to train a new team, and now the team strength that can be mobilized in a city is about 5,000, and now it is stationed in two surrounding places, but it is ......... However, the number of strong teams that can fight is only one or two thousand, and the rest are new pawns, and they are now stepping up their training........."

Qing Ran thought about it slightly.

If he and the two brigades of Zhili can join forces, there are more than 10,000 people, and there are two surrounding fortified cities to rely on, and they still have the strength to fight against the bandits, but I don't know that this Tong Wugu is willing to let go of power, and he hesitates at this time, but it is not easy to speak.

As if seeing through his thoughts, Tong Wugu suddenly bowed deeply to Qing Ran, "Although Tong is entrusted by the former emperor to seal the territory, he knows that his talents are not good, so he asks for shame here, and this team will be entrusted to the general............ I am directly subordinate to the upper and lower people, and they are all willing to be sent by General Qingran........."

Seeing that Qing Ran was pretending to be pretending to excuse himself, Tong Wugu smiled bitterly, "......... It is not easy for the general to think that the former emperor will establish a career, and Long En will be drawn simply, so don't shirk again........."

This is said with both face and lining, Qing Ran smiled with satisfaction, and suddenly felt that this guy was not useless, at least he was still very good at being a person.

……………

……………

When Qingran's elite brigade was stationed in Zhili, the situation became delicate.

The wealthy families in the capital city who had had little contact with the Mochen Brigade immediately shrank their heads.

As the saying goes, "the shadow of the tree, the name of the person," this Qingran general can be said to be a famous general in a hundred battles, not to mention the suppression of the Tumin team some time ago, that is, when he fought under the former emperor, he was also a well-known general, this time as soon as he took over Tong Wugu's brigade, he immediately carried out a stormy defense rectification, and worked hard to integrate his own more than 5,000 brigades and the garrison of Zhili into a whole.

And the Zhili Brigade, which was originally suppressed by the Mochen Brigade on the whole line, seemed to have straightened its waist, and after receiving reinforcements, the Zhili teams in the surrounding areas even had the courage to go out of the city and have a skirmish with the Mochen Brigade Rangers.

After that, the Mochen Brigade, which was originally trained in several places, also reacted immediately, shrinking and assembling, preparing food and ammunition for combat.

At this time, the detailed work organization in charge of Zheng Hejing began to operate at full capacity.

In fact, this spy network has not been idle, during this period of time, Li Moyi in addition to the construction of the brigade in addition to the effort, but also increased investment in the intelligence department, under the silver bullet offensive, the laying speed of the spy network is amazingly fast, the capital city and the area around Zhili as the area about to fight is the top priority.

With the friendly help of the bandits, a total of dozens of single-line intelligence chains have been established, from the peddlers to the inner should be everything, so after Qing Ran was stationed, all kinds of intelligence immediately poured into the headquarters of the Mochen Brigade.

…………

…………

After reading countless bizarre reports, Li Moyi felt very annoyed, to be honest, he didn't mind having a rampage with Qing Ran, although most of his personal soldiers were new pawns who had never been in battle.

Originally, in his mind, the way to fight in the world should be relatively simple, according to his idea, he made an appointment with Qing Ran, a kid, to find a venue, and everyone pulled people out together to fight.........

Of course, in terms of team affairs, it is called "battle", but the situation in front of me seems a bit strange.

From the point of view of intelligence, the strength of Qingran's side can be said to be on par with the Mochen Brigade, and most of the soldiers over there are veterans who have been fighting for a long time, and the total number of cavalry is nearly twice that of the Mochen Brigade, from the perspective of combat effectiveness, it should be stronger than the Mochen Brigade.

It turned out that Li Moyi thought that Qing Ran, as an important general personally promoted by the former emperor, was most likely carried away by anger at this time, and he should be desperate to attack with all his strength to repay Emperor En, and his brigade would definitely be surging in order to go home, fighting hard at the doorstep close at hand.

But at this moment, he just stationed his brigade in the two surrounding small cities.

With the capital city as the center, he put on a posture of horn defense, and in the face of this kind of defensive method, Li Mo felt that it was difficult to speak, so he had to hold a team meeting.

…………

………

The team meeting was very uneventful, and most of the qualified members were senior members above the squad.

Li Mo looked at most of the faces at a glance, they were either old bandits or porters who were enlisting in the underworld, or they were the bandits of the pirates.

Among these bandits, the only ones who can know words are Zhou Quangong, Yuan Cun, Li Beicai, Zheng Hejing and others.

Among them, Wu Wujian, who has rich experience in team work, and the head of the cavalry used to be the role of shouting slogans and taking the lead in the charge, but now they suddenly feel that it is difficult to enter the role when they participate in such a high-level strategic and tactical analysis meeting.

"Lord, according to the detailed report, although the Qingran brigade claims to be 100,000, it is actually only more than 5,000 people, of which about 1 or 2,000 are cavalry members, and the rest are foot soldiers."

Zheng He pointed to the simple map sideways, and introduced his fingers to the other bandits, "The day before yesterday, there was news that Qing Ran had transferred a group of men and horses from the surrounding two cities, and the original garrison was about to reach 10,000 people......... There were more than 3,000 horsemen among them. ”

"Tut-tut........." Li Mo pouted, this will make him have an impression of the war force in the world, more than 10,000 people dare to claim 100,000, this "claim" is really cheap, it seems that everyone can shout nonsense.

He nodded to Zheng He, turned his head to look at Zhou Quangong, "Old Zhou, do you see the way out?" What kind of name is this kid Qing Ran? It is said that his strength is greater than ours, why is he still hesitating there. ”

"General, have you ever thought about our situation?" Zhou Quangong and Yuan Cun looked at each other and smiled, and the latter shook his head with a sad face.

"I know," Li Mo said with a grin, "There is no way on our side, the projectile small ground brigade can't maneuver, and there is no way to retreat, if you don't fight, you can't do it......... We have no roots in the capital city, and the people don't trust us very much, and those big families also suspect that we can't bear this situation......... And this time it is also embattled, all hostile forces......... Isn't it? He grinned nonchalantly and shrugged his shoulders.

“……… But what's the big deal......... There is no hurdle in this world that cannot be overcome, weren't we in a desperate situation in Lingcheng at the beginning......... Let's still fight here for a while........."

Zhou Quangong was dumbfounded, and he stayed for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "The general is really happy to know his fate," he turned his head to face the generals, "Everyone, although we now have silver and grain in the capital, and we seem to be strong and strong, in fact, as the general said, we are already in a desperate situation.........

Looking at the stunned faces around him, he stood up with a wry smile, pointed to the map and said, "The general has already said just now, in addition to internal and external troubles, the situation is unstable, and the brigade can't move......... The four sides are all strong enemies, and the brigade itself is not strong enough, so it can only be left to the ......... in the future."

"I said, Mr. Zhou, why do you always destroy your own prestige? We haven't lost the battle and want to run away? Why are you so fishy and meaty? The head of the cavalry had a fiery personality, and couldn't help but stand up and refute, "Although he Qingran is a strong horse and famous, but the masters also eat dry rice, we now have more than 10,000 horses, who are you afraid of?" Although this territory is a little smaller at the moment, it was also earned by our brothers with sweat and life, so why is it that it is about to be lost before the war starts? ”

"Well said........."

Zhou Quangong smiled slightly, slapped his palms and praised, "......... Although our territory is small, we must not lose it......... If you lose it, you will become a rogue, and if you don't have money and food, you will be looked down upon by other forces in the future, and you are destined to become a climate," he explained, "Just now I just analyzed our situation, and the law is cloudy, and the husband fights, and the temple counts more wins.........

"Okay, okay......... I said Lao Zhou, please, what kind of trick will this talk about," Li Mo sighed, arched his hand and said, "If you have any lofty opinions, please say it directly, don't take a detour......... Grace ..............."

Zhou Quangong waved his hand awkwardly, and Zhengse said, "Qing Ran's posture of such a formation is very meaningful.........

“……… As long as he guards the passage of our south, we can say that there is no way out......... Although we are not short of food and grass for the time being, the capital city has a large population, with more than 10,000 soldiers and more than 100,000 family members......... And now our brigade can't move, once the horses are transferred to the north or west to expand the territory, he will immediately take the opportunity to fight and take our roots, so he is now in a deep ditch and high base, he wants to kill us alive without losing a single pawn and trapping us alive........."

"And ........."

Yuan Cun next to him suddenly mixed in and said, seeing Li Mo turn his head in surprise, he immediately bowed his hand and apologized solemnly, and when he saw Li Mo signaling him to continue, he looked back and sighed, "There are still places that are now rectifying the pawns, once they recover their strength, they can also negotiate with other forces to attack us from the north........."

Listening to their analysis, the old pawn bandits who were originally optimistic in their hearts also fell silent, and their faces became a little ugly.

Li Mo grinned, stood up and reprimanded, "Look at your appearance, isn't this just a meeting, why, you lost before you fight?" ”

"Lao Zhou just now......... And Lao Yuan is just talking about the worst-case scenario, so I'll tell you something nice......... I don't know if you soldiers believe it or not, since I, Li, dare to take you to fight in the capital city, I will take you to fight all over the world........."

The crowd was obviously very confident in him, and their spirits were lifted when they heard this.

Li Mo pursed his lips and said Ling Ran, "What are you afraid of?" We escaped here that day, didn't we all let go of it......... Now that you have territory, your combat power has become even lower? He grinned, "If he wants to trap us, let's not let him be trapped, fight with this kid, and take all the surrounding towns by the way......... He's in the middle, Tong Wugu, this kid, Lao Tzu has put up with him for a long time........."

Zhou Quangong smiled and agreed, "Yes, the matter has come to this point, there is only this way to go......... Do your best to fight for your life and take down the nail of Qingran, our Mochen brigade will have a way to retreat, and when the time comes, you can fight whoever you want, and you will be able to live ......... with one son in mind."

Li Mo looked at everyone, and saw that there was no other opinion, so he immediately ordered, "Pass my order, the whole team of the Mochen brigade will gather in the capital city and prepare to go on the expedition........."

The generals answered loudly and rushed out, and after everyone went out, Zhou Quangong suddenly sighed lowly, "Qingran is really a famous general.........

Li Mo was stunned one by one, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Quangong smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't attack, he has already calculated, and he expected that we would have no way out, so he put out a horn to echo the defensive momentum, repaired the city wall and waited for us to hit it........."

…………

…………

The end of winter is approaching, both sides of the road are full of neatly cut wheat stubble, many farmers next to the wheat stacks are piled up like hills, a few people risk the risk of colliding with the Mochen brigade to plant seedlings, seize the time to replant winter wheat and sweet potatoes, from time to time frightened to look at the road, the soldiers of the Mochen brigade wear strange uniforms, and the neat queue is long and endless.

This year's weather is generally quite ordinary, because the speed of information transmission in the world is very slow, Li Moyi doesn't know what the harvest is like in other places, but the area around the capital city can barely be regarded as a bumper harvest. This year, there was a rather ridiculous scene in the capital area, and now it was the wolf smoke that was raging in the world, but the life of the people of Ying Tianfu was better than any other year.

Due to the sudden rise of the Mochen Brigade, the hierarchical system of the people of Ying Tianfu was destroyed and exhausted, and the team was empty for as long as a month, and this year there was a lot less harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Due to the seizure of a large amount of grain in several small cities around the city, the Mochen brigade has not been worried about the grain, so Li Moyi decided to buy people's hearts in the last few months of the late winter, and the expropriation of a little bit of land like a levy, and the former emperor who had just been appointed did not have the courage to eat kickbacks at this time, so although in the years of war, the area under the rule of the Mochen brigade also appeared a thriving prosperity.

…………

…………

The dry food carried by the Mochen Brigade now is also from Li Moyi's whimsy, and I don't know where he learned this set of household goods.

This kind of dry food is said to be called "dry noodles", in general, it is actually a hodgepodge, grinding wheat, corn, potatoes and other miscellaneous grains into powder, plus a small amount of dried minced meat and salt in a large pot to fry, this thing is relatively easier to keep than dry noodles and biscuits steamed buns, it does not deteriorate for a long time, and it is also very hungry resistant, and at the same time there is no technical content, easy to produce, except for the lack of nutrition, there are really no shortcomings, although it will be a little troublesome to eat often in the taste, but most of the Mo dust soldiers are born in poverty, It's good to have something to eat these days, so I don't have any picky eaters.

It's a bit funny, this thing comes from an association that Li Moyi was inspecting the settlement.

Frankly speaking, the Mochen Brigade is not too much for the hundreds of thousands of people in the capital city.

If the usual rules were followed, the defeated side would have either been wiped out or imprisoned.

However, Li Moyi was very embarrassed on this issue, and he really couldn't do this if he wanted to destroy them all, but it was really not cost-effective to raise these hundreds of thousands of people for nothing, and he came up with such a job after thinking about it.

It takes a lot of effort to make dry noodles, and it is a time-consuming and labor-intensive industry, which is very suitable for these old and weak people who have nothing to do, so the dry food of the Mochen Brigade during this period is quite sufficient.

…………

…………

Surrounded by a large number of relatives, Li Moyi rode up a small hill.

Yunyun looks.

Below the hill is Li Moyi's artillery brigade, the brigade is composed of four rows in a column, and the appearance of the army is very good, at this point, it can be seen that Luo Ke's skills on the job are very good, when he was in Lingying City, he worked his seed brigade, and practiced hard for a month, and the bitter taste was really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Therefore, when the Mochen Brigade was expanded, those soldiers of the Seed Brigade were promoted to the leaders of the bandits, and they turned around and viciously trained those new pawns to ask for children.

And now, the appearance of the artillery brigade is the most satisfactory, although I don't know how much combat strength it will have in the fight, but now on the surface, this brigade has obviously met the requirements of ordinary artillery soldiers.

…………

…………

The head of the team - the word has done an excellent job during this time.

Especially after the bandit gang took over his family, he devoted himself to the manufacture of mechanical tools day and night without worries, and the artisan shed in the capital city is worthy of being a skilled craftsman carefully selected by the emperor, after the Mochen brigade greatly improved the treatment, the production capacity has been raised a few steps, after less than half a month of transformation, more than 5,000 artillery brigades have all been reequipped, all equipped with repeating guns with longer range and higher accuracy, and the reserves of gunpowder and bullets are also quite sufficient.

In fact, the reason why Li Moyi is so confident in this battle is also because of this firearms brigade, although the strength of weapons is not the only measure of victory or defeat, Li Moyi firmly believes that he is an artillery pawn and wins this time.

His idea was quite simple, if a brigade equipped with so many cannons and artillery and after a month of rigorous training could not defeat the native soldiers with broadswords and spears, resulting in his death, it would only mean that he had a big problem with his luck.

Although Qing Ran is strategically clever, so what?

Li Mo rode on the horse and thought viciously, let's not plot with the other party, let's fight with you for strength, don't you want to consume me according to the defense of the strong city, let's use firearms to blast a road, I really don't believe it, the wall of a small city can be more than a cannon.

………

………

"Your Excellency, General......... I'm sorry I bothered you, but what are you doing? Luo Ke looked at Li Moyi's hideous expression for no reason, kept twisting the corners of his clothes, and couldn't help but ask strangely. Among this large group of people, he is the only one who will ask Li Moyi such a question without scruples.

"This, Roque is in office, I'm thinking about ........." Li Moyi waved his hand awkwardly, turned around and asked, "Where is it now?" ”

"General Yu, now we have passed Langfang, and now we are still seventy miles away from the small city where the Qingran brigade is stationed.........

"What about the head of the cavalry, Zhou Quangong and Wu Wujian?"

The pawn bowed respectfully on the horse, "The cavalry brigade passed by boat in the canal, and General Zhou's team walked ahead of us, it is estimated that it should be almost there by now, but there is no news from General Wu's side." ”

"Oh........."

Li Mo nodded. According to the initial plan, Li Moyi ordered the more steady and cautious head of the pawn to stay in the capital, defend the city, monitor the movements of all parts of the Quartet, and ensure the safety of the grain road.

The cavalry leader and the pirate brigade marched on either side of his brigade, setting out first to clear the perimeter, and then joining forces to attack the city after his brigade and the artillery squad arrived.

Wu Wujian's two cavalry squads were sent to the area outside the capital city to act as suspicious pawns.

In the calculation of the Mochen Brigade, if Qing Ran learned the news that a city was besieged, he could only have two reactions, one was to immediately rescue the pawn and fight a decisive battle with the Mochen Brigade, and the other was to go straight to the capital city regardless of the death or life of the city, and Wu Wujian's cavalry brigade was responsible for interfering with the mobile pawn force that was responsible for interfering and blocking.

…………

…………

Qingran's two garrisons are a great threat to this city, and there is a canal connection between the two places in the capital city, if you take a boat to attack, you can die under the city in a day and night, so for the Mochen brigade, this city must be beaten.

When Li Moyi's brigade arrived at the city, the sky was already getting dark.

Although the light was not very good, the soldiers could clearly see the guards on the city wall, and the enemies at the head of the city looked nervous one by one with long cannons in hand.

At this time, the head of the cavalry, Zhou Quangong and a group of generals had already completed the formation of the team, waiting for the main general of the Mochen brigade at the gate of the squad base.

"How's it going?"

After entering the main tent, Li Mo didn't have time to drink saliva, so he immediately asked the head of the horseman.

"General, the situation is not very good......... "The horseman scratched his head and secretly pushed Zhou Quangong.

"General, the guards have obviously been prepared, all the guards of the dock forts outside the city have been withdrawn, and the grain in the various village markets has also been exhausted, and our teams cleaning the periphery have all been emptied," Zhou Quangong frowned and said, "It seems that the enemy team is planning to use the city wall to fight with us........."

"Is there any reinforcement from the enemy team?" Li Moyi's expression did not move, he had expected this situation, "Has there been any change in the pawn force in the city?" ”

"No, we have sent rangers to monitor all aspects, and Lao Wu has communicated with us once every two hours, and he has not found anything abnormal......... At the moment, the guards in the city are still those people, about 5,000 people......... In addition, there were four small cannons on the city walls. ”

“……… Okay then," Li Mo turned his head and said to Yuan Cun who was standing aside, "Old Yuan, your artillery guards will be bitter, and when you get into the cannon, you will immediately give those boys a dismount.........

In terms of the degree of training, Yuan Cun's work is obviously very satisfactory.

When Li Mo took a few sips of water and led a group of generals to watch the cannon, the artillery squad had already entered the artillery position and prepared to fly.

With Yuan Cun's order, Li Mo felt a tremor under his feet, and his ears instantly buzzed and he couldn't hear any sound.

Look up.

In the white smoke, the soldiers on the artillery position looked solemn, methodically carrying the shells to fill the flying attack, the artillery group was no longer as chaotic as before, but orderly and step-by-step according to the command of the poor command echelon flying, the landing point of the shells was also quite accurate, except for the first few shells, most of the later shells were accurately hit on the city wall, Yunyun saw that the city wall was bombarded to the bricks and stones, and a large piece of the wall was blasted open.

Li Moyi nodded with satisfaction, stretched out a thumbs up to Yuan Cun, and praised loudly, "Yuan Mou is big, well done........."

The head of the cavalry looked at the chaos on the city wall, and ran over excitedly, "General, are we going to attack this city overnight now?" ”

Li Moyi shook his head, "We can't attack, our team is tired, this battle is difficult to fight," he patted the shoulder of the cavalry head, pointed to the pawn on the city wall and said, "Do you know how many guards there will be in the city once this battle starts?" ”

"Didn't you say it at first? Just the five thousand........." the horseman scratched his head and said puzzled.

“……… Cavalry leader, you have to use your brain, there are 100,000 people in this city, of which there are at least 30,000 or 40,000 young people, although it may not be very useful to fight, but it is still okay to throw stones and pour boiling water under the city wall, you say that we rush up so recklessly, how many people have to die to take it down? ”

"Ah............ This ........."

Li Mo patted him on the shoulder heavily, "Horseman head, a few of you are the outlaws I brought out from Lingying City, and now you are all generals, so you have to learn a little more......... If you don't use your brains to fight, how can you do it? ”

"General......... I ........." The head of the horseman was very moved in his heart, and suddenly felt extremely ashamed, and his face was red for a while and he couldn't speak.

"Wait a good rest, you can take it easy for me when I fight tomorrow, and take care of my body............" Ignoring the head of the grateful cavalry, Li Mo turned around and said to Yuan Cun, "Old Yuan, wait a minute, you tell the brothers, fly in groups tonight, hit him a few times every once in a while, and then shout loudly to attack the city, don't let the enemy team stop........."

Yuan Cun smiled, gave his hand and said, "Tired plan? I see........."

I can't figure out the specific time, judging from Li Moyi's experience, the sky is bright now, which is about six or seven o'clock in the morning.

The lights in the Mochen Brigade were bright, and a large group of soldiers were chaotically receiving meat and vegetable soup according to the system, and eating vegetables with dry noodles.

The first time he commanded such a large-scale battle, he was inevitably a little nervous in his heart, and Li Moyi, who was used to being hungry, hurriedly drank some water and left, and rushed to the forward position with his squadron of personal soldiers.

It wasn't until after occupying the capital city that Li Moyi corrected a small erroneous view.

Among the various brigades in the world, the monocular telescope has been popularized, this kind of foreign goods that seem to be very advanced, the imperial craftsmen of the inner city can actually successfully imitate it, and the quality is not inferior to the original goods from the outside world.

There are a lot of telescopes hoarded in the official residence of the pawn department, this thing is used as a strategic material, basically the brigade generals above the deputy general level have been distributed, and now after the capital city is captured, of course Li Moyi will not be polite, and immediately after the capture, he is equipped with the head of the Mochen team or above......... These people don't think it's much of a use, though.

The monocular telescope on Li Mo's hand is said to be handed down by the former emperor's father, that is, the former emperor, inlaid with gold and silver and polished beautifully, it looks like a valuable object, but the quality is not very good, but fortunately, the observation target is not close, with the little morning light in the sky, Li Moyi can still see the situation above the city very clearly.

Last night, Yuan Cun's brigade tossed the guards all night, and now it seems to have some effect.

The faces of the guards standing at the head of the city were obviously a little tired, but the patrol guards who came and went at the head of the city were still in formation, and the order between the back and forth was calm, and they did not show any panic.

In the morning breeze of dawn, except for the occasional shouting of someone's password, the city was silent, compared to the Mochen brigade that was eating vegetables in the large and small teams, it was more like an iron array brigade.

Li Mo sighed, he was really a little uncomfortable in his heart when he was compared to others, and at this time, the generals in the team had already rushed to the front.

He turned around, pointed to the head of the city, and smiled bitterly at Zhou Quangong and said, "Tut......... Look at it, people are a bit of a big team, you look at our team, it's really like a rushing party. ”

The generals behind him all blushed, and Zhou Quangong said, "Let's rush to the team, and we have always only practiced offensive skills, this ........." Speaking of this, he seemed to find it difficult to justify himself, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"I remember what this city's chief soldier seems to be called," Li Mo turned his head to look at Zheng He, frowned and said, "Didn't you say that this kid is a straw bale and doesn't have much forage in his stomach?" ”

"General......... This person Yan Da did not have a good reputation in the capital city," Zheng He's face was a little nervous, "He was originally in the capital city, and he was only released last year, and he only knew how to drink and fight in the capital city, so he never brought a pawn ........."

Li Mo pursed his lips, pointed to the city and said, "I can't see it, this kid seems to be very capable of leading pawns." ”

“……… Speaking of taking a pawn, I think of a person........." Yuan Cun suddenly mixed in and said, facing everyone's puzzled eyes, he smiled solemnly, "Over the years, I have been idle in the capital city, and other places don't treat us well, only the pawn is still a little familiar, so I often hear people talk about things......... There is a lieutenant general in this city who was very popular the year before last........."

"I said Lao Yuan, can you just make a long story short? It's going to be a battle, and you're really telling the story? Li Mo said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Yuan Cun arched his hand and said, "When I was in the autumn lane the year before last, there was a deputy general in this city who didn't know why, and he fought with a deputy commander of the forward team, and then the more troublesome and fierce, it reached the lobby of the pawn department......... At that time, the official of the pawn department was ready to wipe the mud and reconcile it, who would have thought that the deputy general of this city would not sell the face of the pawn minister, and in the hall of the pawn department, he raised his fist with the deputy commander and beat him severely in front of all the superiors........."

The generals gasped, and the generals in the team beat their colleagues in front of the officials of the department, which was indeed a bit appalling, Zheng He suddenly patted his head, "I remembered......... This matter did make a lot of noise back then, and this person seems to be still in this city, but he has been demoted several levels. He frowned and thought for a while, then turned to Yuan Cun and said, "Yuan Mou is big, this person seems to be ......... It seems to be called Wu Youcai, right? ”
