The news of the arrival of the Eastern Capture Army in the city quickly spread in Gaoyang, but fortunately, the people in the city were psychologically prepared, although they were afraid, but at least they were not messed up.

The generals of the Jingbei Army had all rushed to the Gaoyang County Ya to listen to the order at this moment, and even Sun Chengzong, who was idle at home, also rushed to the county Ya.

Lu Liangzhi saw that Sun Chengzong actually acquiesced in the defense of Gaoyang led by Li Xingzhi, so naturally he would no longer have any objections.

Li Xingzhi is more comfortable the more he looks at this old man, as the so-called family has an old man, if there is a treasure, there is this old man on the platform, Lu Liangzhi and Liu Zhongwu naturally can't make a stumbling block for themselves, as for Huang Wenchang and Xu Zhijian, these two cowards, this will probably be to pray to God and worship the Buddha in the hope that he can keep Gaoyang.

Therefore, Li Xingzhi smiled and invited the old grandson to the main seat, and he ordered someone to move another official hat chair and sit down next to Sun Chengzong.

However, what he didn't know was that Lao Sun Tou also had an idea, wanting to subdue him, a brave general who could capture more than a thousand captives, and contribute to the imperial court.

Li Xingzhi looked around at the people: "Since everyone's goal is to keep Gaoyang, now that the Eastern Captives are coming to the city, we need to cooperate sincerely, otherwise once the city is broken, the jade will be burned, and you don't want to fall into the hands of the Tartars, right?" ”

Li ...... Xingzhi, tell me how to prepare for the defense. Lu Liangzhi was still a little unhappy now, and immediately replied.

The generals of the Jingbei Army naturally had no objections, and the two brothers Huang Wenchang and Xu Zhijian nodded like chickens pecking rice.

Li Xingzhi said coldly: "Lu Zhi County, I will know that you and Liu Zhongwu will fight against the Dongyu in Xin'an, so I will have the intention that Lu Zhi County will command the people of the headquarters and the officers and troops of Renqiu and Gaoyang to guard the southwest of Gaoyang, of course, Ben will transfer a part of Qingzhuang with you, you can be sure." ”

Lu Liangzhi was shocked, he knew the terrain of Gaoyang, and Li Xingzhi arranged it like this, which was to put his military horses on the front line of the fight against the Eastern Captives.

Liu Zhongwu shouted: "Li Xingzhi, don't you look down on me?" ”

Li Xingzhi said: "Don't worry about Liu Shoubei, I would have thought that if the two city walls in the northeast could not be attacked, I would inevitably use your old technique of attacking Lijiashan to attack the east and the west, so leaving you to guard the southwest of Gaoyang is exactly what the question should mean." ”

Liu Zhongwu knew that Li Xingzhi was ridiculing him about being captured, and he was very angry in his heart, and replied: "We will definitely be able to ensure that the second gate in the southwest will not be broken through by the eastern captives, and this garrison is only afraid that your army will not be able to hold the northeast city wall." ”

Li Xingzhi didn't care, turned his head to look at Wang Zhong and Li Rui and the others and ordered: "There are only six or seven thousand people in the east, and it is inevitable that they will attack the city from all sides, so the general intends to garrison the east city with the Gangfeng battalion, the fire battalion to guard the north gate of Gaoyang, and the shock battalion is responsible for maintaining stability in the city, and the cavalry brigade is on standby in the city?" ”

With the prestige of the Zhengbaiqi Han Army under the total annihilation of Sun Degong, all the generals of the Jingbei Army were convinced by Li Xing's heart, and now such a deployment was also expected by the generals, so everyone was shocked to receive the order.

While arranging for the generals to guard each gate, Li Xingzhi ordered Qian Anning to immediately organize the people to seal all the four gates of Gaoyang with boulders.

At noon the next day, the puppet Qing Duoluo Rao Yu Bel Abatai led 6,000 Manchu and Han troops to Gaoyang City.

Abatai has been in battle for a long time, and naturally it is not comparable to Sun Degong, and after the soldiers arrived in Gaoyang, they went around the city to survey the terrain.

Like Li Xingzhi's thoughts, Abatai also believed that there was a Zhulong River in the southwest of Gaoyang City, which was not conducive to the deployment of the army.

Therefore, on the same day, he ordered the headquarters to drive thousands of civilians captured from Hexiong County, Anzhou, to set up camp in the northeast corner of Gaoyang, and ordered these civilians to immediately rush to make siege equipment such as shield carts, rushing carts, wells, and trebuchets.

When Li Xingzhi heard that Abatai led the army to Gaoyang, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took the generals to the city to investigate the military situation of the Qing army.

As the saying goes, there are tens of thousands of people, and there is no boundary, Li Xingzhi and others couldn't help but feel numb when they looked at the Qing army camp about three miles away from Dongcheng.

Needless to say, the six blue flag vests in front of the Qing army's camp are the neat queues of the Han army's blue flag and Wuzhen Chaohan, which are not comparable to ordinary Ming troops.

And the coerced people were pushing the various instruments they had just made into the camp, one after another, like ants queuing up to carry food.

Abatai's point general platform has been built, and this meeting is standing with the Zhenglan Banner Jialazhang Jingyang Ligu, the deputy commander of the Zhenglan Banner Han Army, Li Shuitai and others pressing their swords, pointing at Gaoyang City.

His gilded banner is erected high on the platform, and on both sides are countless Jiala flags and Niulu flags, which are majestic and majestic.

Li Xingzhi couldn't help but sigh: "The prestige of the puppet king of the Qing Dynasty is really extraordinary, and he dares to use the dragon flag to make a big sword." ”

In fact, Li Xingzhi didn't know, and even many Ming army generals didn't know that although Abatai was the seventh son of Nurhachi, he was really not a Manchurian prince, but he was a level lower than the county king.

Sun Chengzong and Lu Liangzhi beside him knew it in their hearts, and they glanced at each other, which meant obviously, this Li Xingzhi was a thief in the end, where could he know the inside story of Dongyu.

On the stage, Qibeile Abatai said to Yang Guli: "In the city of the advance envoy, Huang Wenchang can capture Sun Sheng, he should still have some ability, if he is willing to surrender, he can also expand the strength of our Niu Lu." ”

"The general's argument is very high, and the last general will send someone to do it." Yang Guli hurriedly received the order and hurriedly walked off the stage.

After a while, I saw that the Qing army's large array suddenly separated, and several knights "da, da, da." So he rode to the east city of Gaoyang.

Li Xingzhi saw that there were few of them, so he waved his hand to stop the soldiers of the Steel Blade Battalion who were waiting to shoot arrows, wanting to see what tricks this Abatai was playing.

I saw that the knight at the head of the city suddenly dismounted and shouted to everyone in the city: "Humble to the order of General Doro Rao Yu Beile, there is a book to be sent to the Ming State Baoding Huang General Soldier." ”

When Wang Zhong saw that Li Xingzhi had stopped the archers on one side, he ordered the messengers of the Qing army to be brought up with hanging baskets on the left and right.

After the messenger was brought up, he looked left and right, and thought that Li Xingzhi was Huang Wenchang, so he saluted Li Xingzhi and said: "My general said, Huang Shuai is brave and brave, and he is also a well-informed person. ”

With that, he took out Abatai's persuasion document from his bosom and held it high above his head.

Li Xingzhi's eyes were cold, he snatched the surrender document, tore it to pieces, and then took a step forward to lift the messenger up, and shouted: "I am a dignified man, how can I be a slave and a horse and cow, today the general will cut you down, and it is good to strengthen the heart of the defenders in the city." ”

The envoy was also stubborn, and sneered to himself: "The two countries are fighting each other, if you don't kill the envoys, I have tens of thousands of troops and horses in the Qing Dynasty, and it is only in the morning and night to break the city, Huang Shuai should not make mistakes." ”

Li Xingzhi said angrily: "You are just a barbarian in Jianzhou, who is originally a subordinate of my Huaxia domain, and he is also worthy of saying that the two countries are fighting in front of this general." ”

With that, he swung his knife suddenly, and a chain-like white light flashed, directly striking the head of the messenger.

Then he raised the bloody long knife and shouted: "Abatai, if you want to fight, I will fight!" ”
