Chapter 235: Besieged

"In such a chaos, it should be better to implement the reform of the land and return to the stream, and say the real reason."

Li Xing quickly reacted and asked.

Ning Cheng glanced at Qin Yan.

In the end, he still said the real reason: "Jinyun County is the base camp of the Heavenly God Sect, many of them seem to be separate forces, but in fact, they are all believers of the Heavenly God Sect, Lord Ouyang, once sent a company to reconnoitre, but none of them came back. ”

"It will take five years, and Ouyang Xiong calculated it?"

Li Xing asked.

Ning Cheng nodded, but still explained: "Lord Ouyang, I know that you and the prince acted impulsively, rashly, and had an accident, so they specially discussed this matter with me and asked me to keep it a secret from you for the time being." ”

"I see, it seems that this is where the Celestial God Cult rests."

Li Xing understood what was going on, and suddenly became a little worried about the prince at this time.

He didn't have many soldiers and horses, and if the three thousand light cavalry combined with the Celestial God Sect, the prince would be in danger.

So Li Xing turned his head to Qin Yan and said, "Lord Qin, how many sons can you gather?" I want you to gather them together and follow the officials to support the crown prince, so that in the future these sons can be incorporated into the new army and enjoy the same treatment as the new army. ”

Hearing this, Qin Yan's eyes lit up.

After their native soldiers were disbanded, they were all incorporated into the militia group.

In fact, many people are still dissatisfied, if it weren't for his high prestige, he would have been in chaos a long time ago.

Now Li Xing proposed that these people can be incorporated into the new army, and those rabbit cubs will be happy to hear it.

"Master Li, can you really be incorporated into the new army?"

Qin Yan asked again.

Li Xing nodded: "Of course, in the future, the former native soldiers of other state capitals can join the new army if they are willing to join the new army, and the treatment is the same, and the future promotion will also be based on military merits." ”

"There is no problem with three thousand, and they are all veterans of battle."

Qin Yan replied in the affirmative.

"Then it's troublesome Lord Qin, this time I need to trouble you to go in person."

Li Xing made another request.

Qin Yan naturally would not refuse.

Because this is also an opportunity for the natives of Jiangxian County, an opportunity to eliminate the estrangement of the imperial court against them, and an opportunity to change their status.

"Master Li, I'm going to gather those disbanded soldiers, and please go and detoxify the little girl."

"No problem."

Li Xing agreed, Qin Yan didn't dare to delay, and went to gather people.

Li Xing comforted Ning Cheng again, and then entered Qin Ruyu's room under the leadership of the maidservant.

Seeing Li Xing coming, Qin Ruyu, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, flashed a hint of surprise.

Just get up.

But was stopped by Li Xing: "Lie down well, and wait for everything to be detoxified." ”

Qin Ruyu obediently continued to lie down.

Li Xing personally fed the detoxification pill into Qin Ruyu's mouth.

After a quarter of an hour, Qin Ruyu felt a little uncomfortable alone: "Xianggong, you sit in the house, I want to go for convenience." ”

"Huh?"

This made Li Xing obviously stunned.

It seems that the two little girls and Ning Cheng did not have this reaction.

It seems that Qin Ruyu was not given her an antidote by those people, but it was different from the poison in the other two, but it was mistaken for an antidote.

It seems that the person behind the curtain has other plans.

……

The prince led his troops to the iron mine.

First, one regiment was arranged to guard the periphery, and then three regiments were arranged, divided into three routes, to explore the iron mines.

It's just that the iron mine covers too much area.

Only 3,000 people entered it, and it was impossible to investigate it in detail.

But Jiang Hong didn't dare to continue to divide his troops.

He was worried that if he searched with a battalion of 300 men, he would be killed by the enemy hiding in the shadows.

So I can only take the stupidest way, a little bit of search.

It's just that the more he searched, the more angry Jiang Hong became.

Because he saw the corpse pit, which was full of white bones, and there were still corpses that had not completely rotted and were eaten by wild wolves and other animals.

"These brutes who have lost their conscience."

Jiang Hong scolded, turned his head and said to Ouyang Xiong: "Those thieves, don't leave them alive, kill them all." ”

"Humble duty understands."

Ouyang Xiong hurriedly responded.

At this moment, the scout in charge of the perimeter reconnaissance came to report: "Your Highness, we have been decided, a large number of men and horses are pouring in from the iron mine, and we have roughly calculated that there are about 20,000 people, and our regimental commander suggests that Your Highness break out of the siege before the enemy completes the encirclement." ”

"No, with the excellent equipment of our new army and the bravery of our soldiers, there is nothing to fear, isn't it just 20,000 people? Just crush them before they close in. ”

Jiang Hong sees the things on the battlefield very accurately.

In particular, he has seen many related examples.

Under the siege of a strong army, the probability of a successful breakthrough is very low, and it will also cause damage to morale.

And a counteroffensive that will leave the place of death and then survive will have a glimmer of life.

So he said to Ouyang Xiong: "Since there is an enemy on the periphery, let's not look for it, everyone gathers, and then forms an awl shape to launch a full-scale attack on one of the enemies, and I want to let the person who designed the trap know what it means to enter the flock." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Ouyang Xiong immediately took out the signal firecracker and lit it.

Soon all the soldiers and horses were gathered.

Jiang Hong made a simple pre-war mobilization and rushed out first.

The crown prince is so violent, and the others will naturally not back down.

And the three thousand light cavalry generals of the Zhou family, who were hiding in the shadows, were also watching this scene in the shadows at this time.

They are waiting to see if the prince has the strength to make them three thousand people allegiance.
