Outside the city, Ling Jingyang was also surprised, there were obviously strong troops in this city, how could he be frightened by some rogues and dare not go out of the city, but he didn't know that there were more than 10,000 rogues outside the city, and he was still under the city, introducing himself to the city.

Chen Yidao finally knew from Ling Jingyang's introduction that the cavalry unit under the city was actually the soldiers and horses of the Chongzhen Imperial Court, and the leader claimed to be Ling Jingyang, the governor of the five armies, Chen Yidao fought in the people, and he had not heard of Ling Jingyang, but he was still very pleased, after all, he had not seen the Ming army in formation for a long time.

"Governor Lingdu, you are the governor of the five armies of the imperial court, then please lead your troops to exterminate the outcasts outside the city, and we will naturally open the city gate and welcome the king into the city."

Ling Jingyang was angry and laughed.

"You have thousands of soldiers and horses, and you don't even go out of the city to fight the rogues, how can you still have the face to say that you are fighting with Jiannu?"

Chen Yidao had nothing to say, he also wanted to go out of the city to expel the Liukou, but the armed forces in the city were not of the same mind, and those stragglers who bullied the people could not be counted on, and after being defeated by the Qing army, they had already lost the courage that a soldier should have.

The other rebels were also in discord, Chen Yidao spent most of his energy just to maintain order in the city, where was the spare strength to fight the rogues outside the city?

One of the general urns scolded Ling Jingyang angrily.

"What kind of governor of the five armies are you, Lao Tzu told you that there are more than 10,000 rogue people outside the city, and this little bit of people in the city is not enough to rogue to stuff their teeth."

He Zhen looked at this general of the Ming army and scolded him angrily for being the son of a turtle, but Ling Jingyang suddenly remembered that the large army was in Changge, if there were more than 10,000 rogues in the vicinity, would these rogues attack Changge City?

He Zhen, who was still scolding, suddenly thought of this, the two glanced at each other, and both saw the meaning of withdrawal from each other's eyes, Ling Jingyang no longer hesitated, he wanted to gain the trust of the soldiers and civilians in the city as soon as possible, and said to Chen Yidao: "Soldiers, our soldiers and horses will eliminate some of the rogues in the mountain col today. ”

After speaking, let Gao Ding bring the rogues up, Gao Ding drove more than 200 rogues to the city, Chen Yidao looked down, it was really the rogue nearby.

He believed in Ling Jingyang a little, but he still refused to open the city gate, and Ling Jingyang also knew that he had to give some sweetness to the people in the city before he opened the city gate to welcome them.

He guessed that there was a shortage of food in the city, so he said to Chen Yidao: "This general, you are surrounded by rogues, think."

There must be a shortage of food, the governor of Pontus gave a thousand stones of grain and grass, but the grain and grass and the large army of our army are in Changkazu City, do you dare to let your subordinates go to Changge City with the governor of Ponto? ”

Chen Yidao valued the lives of his subordinates more than himself, how could he be willing to let his subordinates go to Chang Gecheng, he and Ling Jingyang shook their heads.

"Listen to the governor, the temple of Xuzhou City is small, please go back to Changge City."

Chen Yidao's words made Ling Jingyang feel this person's character in his heart, and he must have strong strength to make this person a henchman before he can incorporate the armed forces in the city.

He and He Zhen and Li Rufeng said: "Withdraw and destroy the Liukou." ”

What should Gao Ding do with him and ask the captives?

"Then give it to the soldiers and civilians in the city."

Ling Jingyang withdrew with his troops, and Gao Ding also threw the prisoners under the city and withdrew with the cavalry troops.

After the Ming army withdrew, Chen Yidao still did not dare to open the city gate and brought the prisoners in, he was afraid that the Ming army outside the city was pretending to be a rogue, and deliberately used the prisoners to deceive the city gate.

Just as he hesitated, the captives saw that no one in the city came out, and one by one they went to the woods outside the city, and Chen slapped his thigh with a knife, ordering the troops to go out of the city and kill the captives.

His troops went out of the city one after another, but the other stragglers, the routs were indifferent, numb to watch Chen Yidao's subordinates chasing and killing prisoners outside the city, the prisoners ran very fast, Chen Yidao's subordinates were busy, and they didn't kill a single prisoner.

This can make Chen Yidao angry enough, he shouted loudly at the stragglers in the city, obviously there are more than 100 cavalry troops, why don't they go outside the city to pursue the rogue, the stragglers know that they are rude, and return to the barracks with their heads down.

Chen Yidao felt that he was a little timid, since there was no food in the city, it was better to follow the Lingdu Governor who claimed to be the governor of the five armies of the Ming Dynasty to Changge City, maybe he could still get some grain and grass in Changge City.

He made up his mind and led the team of the rebels of his headquarters to Changkacheng, which had more than 900 volunteers and more than 2,000 family members of the rebels, all of whom went to Changgecheng with him.

The departure of this army left the defensive force of Xuzhou City empty, and Fang Xiaoyan and the others, who were wandering in the city, did not go out of the city, but continued to lurk in the city, waiting for an opportunity to open the city gate to welcome Ling Jingyang into the city.

Ling Jingyang led the troops to hurry back to Changge City, his vision was very far, he concluded

The Liukou will raid Changkazu Castle, and He Zhen asks him why he is so sure that the Liukou will attack Changkazu Castle?

Ling Jingyang had the opportunity to pretend to be in front of He Zhen, and analyze the battle intentions of the rogues with He Zhen.

Liukou is also a human being, and also needs food and clothing, Xuzhou City does not have many things, and their army brings thousands of people, as well as a large amount of grain and grass, at this time it is winter, Liukou also wants to eat and drink for the New Year.

Where to grab food and drink? Only their team has food and grass nearby, and there are many women, and it would be crazy for the Liukou not to attack Changge Castle when the army is not firmly established.

He Zhen felt that there was some truth, and he also remembered that his large army in the city, with his troops, as well as Ling Jingyang's thousands of soldiers and horses, should be able to resist the attack of the Liukou, right?

"General He, are you afraid that the large army will be eaten by the rogues?"

"Governor Lingdu, you also underestimate my soldiers and horses, just those rogues. How many come and how many die? ”

The two of them actually wanted to fly to Changge City, and led the troops to rush to Changge City.

At this time, Changge City was besieged by more than 10,000 rogues, this group of rogues saw a team in the city yesterday, the team had more than 10,000 people, most of them were Ming army soldiers, and dozens of artillery, the Ming army's armed forces were very strong, and the rogues did not dare to attack.

But when they saw that there were thousands of people in the ranks, including men and women, and a long line of grain carts, the Liukou quickly formed an attack group, and also gathered the entire Kaifeng Mansion near the Liukou, and launched a crazy attack before Ling Jingyang returned from Xuzhou City.

In the city of Changgecheng, Lao Mantou, Zhang Shun, Wei Lan, Shi Tie and other generals saw that there were many Liukou people, and they did not know the strength of Liukou, so they withdrew to the city with their troops.

The entire Ming army gathered in the city to meet the first attack of the Liukou, the Ming army was not a turtle with a shrunken head, and launched the first attack in the Liukou, and more than 6,000 Ming troops and He Zhenbu worked together to repel the attack of the Liukou.

The soldiers of the Ming army unanimously agreed that the Liukou was weak in combat, but to prevent being deceived out of the city by the Liukou, they continued to wait and see.

The first attack of the Liukou was repulsed, and a powerful leader of the Liukou organized a second attack, and the other Liukou did not want to continue the attack, and the attack just now was beaten by the Ming army like Sun Tzu, wouldn't it be sent to death if the attack continued?
