In fact, when Li Banghua and Xue Lao Er began to persuade at the beginning, Zhou Shixian had already seen through the telescope the movement in the Panglun camp in the east of the city.

Therefore, what he said to Wu Xingye afterwards was not that he was thoughtful and thoughtful, but that after seeing the results, he went forward and found a reason that could be explained.

It's just that this reason is irrefutable, and it is indeed the case.

With the Pang Lun camp, the soldiers and ruffians coaxed one after another, and he himself felt that the general trend of the Ming court had gone, and there would be no shortage of gold and silver rewards when the Qin mission went south, so he pushed the boat down the river and led the soldiers and horses under his command, planning to "show off" his muscles and give the outdated "Qin Mission" in the city a dismount.

After all, this group of rebels are the only remaining elites in the capital camp, and they still have battlefield experience, if they can not attack the city, they will naturally not take this risk.

Besides, don't you need equipment for the siege, don't you need preparation, don't you need more soldiers and horses?

They don't talk about artillery, it's a ladder, and they don't have a clue where to find it when they crash. If it weren't for Zhou Shixian's fear that the Shun army would catch up and couldn't wait, it would be enough to make these people helpless and disintegrate on their own.

As Pang Lun led the troops to the city, Li Banghua, Xue Laoer, Zhang Hong, Wu Xingye and others had nothing to say. Now there is no other way but to fight it.

Moreover, they are not completely at a disadvantage, although in addition to the soldiers and horses who can be sent out to fight in the city, there are only more than two hundred and fifty people and horses who can send out the city to fight, but the weapons and equipment, the integration of soldiers, and the soldiers and horses under the command of Zhou Shixian have an absolute advantage.

And when Pang Lun provoked under the city, as long as Zhou Shixian did not show weakness, the other troops and horses would not dare to take the opportunity to attack the city, they would all wait, and then decide which side to stand on after the winner was decided.

This is why Zhou Shixian chose to go out of the city to fight, and Li Banghua, Xue Laoer, Zhang Hong, and Wu Xingye did not stop them at all - they all knew too well what these military leaders and ruffians were thinking in their heads.

You must know that only a military victory can bring political strength, otherwise all the so-called "schemes" and "means" are just pretenses.

This sentence is useful for the struggle between state powers, and it is also applicable for Zhou Shixian's current situation.

At this time, under the city of Yongqing, Pang Lun rode his horse to a place more than three hundred steps away from the city gate, and looked at the "Qincha army" that was leaving the city, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

There are two ruthless characters in this Qincha army, Zhang Hong and Wu Xingye, and their combat effectiveness will naturally not be bad, but everyone is from Beijing, and Pang Lun doesn't think that the other party can be strong, so he dares to show off his might.

Of course, it's just a show of power, as long as that old man Li is interested and meets his requirements, he won't actually attack the city.

Although Li Banghua has led the Beijing camp, there are indeed many people who buy his face, but similarly, there are many people who disdain this civil official. In this world, only knives work, what can a pen do?

And Pang Lun is the one who doesn't give face, he relied on the knife to go from a hundred generals to a "hero" with nearly 1,000 soldiers and horses.

Well, this is the uneven distribution of spoils that day, after cutting a hundred totals, the people under him flattered him, Pang Lun was very useful, and really felt that he had the potential to be a hero.

However, the soldiers and horses in the city actually dared to go out of the city to line up, which was completely unexpected by the huge heroes.

But even if all the soldiers and horses in the city came out, he was not afraid, there were nearly a thousand soldiers and horses in the battalion, and he brought out seven or eight hundred, although the queue on the opposite side was neater and the armor was more complete, but it was only more than two hundred horses.

Moreover, what kind of virtue is the Ming army, and whether those old brothers on the other side can fight, is he still unclear? When the time comes, as soon as he attacks, he shouts twice before the battle, and he is afraid that he will defect from the battle.

It's just that after Pang Lun looked at the escort soldiers and horses in front of him who had all left the city, he turned his head to look at the loose soldiers behind him, as well as the dozens of thin war horses on his side, and he couldn't help but feel a little weak.

Even, although these soldiers and horses are under his control on the surface, after all, most of them are newly recruited, everyone gives him face and praises him as the leader, and he is not good to ask too much, so as not to be counterattacked.

In the final analysis, although Pang Lun is not a so-called "hero", he is also a veteran oilman, and he has brought dozens of people, and he still understands this truth.

In fact, this is also an important reason why he wants to bring troops to besiege the city and show off his military prestige - it is nothing more than to do something to enhance his prestige.

Moreover, if he can take the opportunity to subdue the other four defeated troops, whether he goes north to join the army, or coerces the homeless strong men all the way, and goes south to ask for an official and a half position, his capital can be more, and he can't say that he can mix up a garrison at that time, or even be a general.

The so-called "Four Towns of Jiangbei", which is famous in history, is this routine, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Huang Degong and others under the command of the elite, whether there are two thousand, it is difficult to say!

This is why in the original history, after the Manchu army solved Li Zicheng, Duoduo was only 20,000 banners, and with 30,000 traitor troops, he was able to sweep Jiangnan.

And Zhou Shixian, who knows this history very well, naturally knows this, which is why he dared to go out of the city to fight against Pang Lun, and it is also the reason why he also had to bring so much silver on the way to escape.

If you don't train a strong army of your own, it's useless to run to the ends of the earth. Nanming's military strength is unreliable.

"Damn, look at Lao Tzu if he doesn't destroy you all today!" Pang Lun took a sip and said viciously.

"Big brother, do you want to take advantage of this time to rush up directly and them." An officer beside Pang Lun was eager to try, he also felt that he had a great advantage, and he didn't pay attention to the team in front of him.

In the same way, the other soldiers could not bear it anymore, and even rushed to the front, thinking that they would be the first to rush into the city, robbing the silver and the women.

At the same time, in the Yongqing County Ya, Emperor Chongzhen, Empress Zhou, Princess Kunxing, and Princess Zhaoren, who had not shown up, also frowned at this time, looking nervous, and Emperor Chongzhen was even more anxious.

Princess Kunxing's eyes were full of worry, as soon as she heard the news that there was a rebellion besieging the city, she began to worry about Zhou Shixian again, especially after knowing that the other party had gone up the city wall.

But now I just want to ask, and I don't know who to ask, and the people in the county government don't seem to know what the situation is on the city wall now.

Princess Kunxing was thinking nonsense in her heart, and suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, a surprise flashed in her heart, and she quickly looked up, but saw that Wang Chengen ran in in a hurry, and almost stumbled, fell on the threshold, and just wanted to lift her feet forward, but retracted again.

Wang Chengen ran all the way back from the city gate, and at this time he was so tired that he couldn't breathe evenly, and he could only hear him say intermittently: "No...... Oh no, no......"

Emperor Chongzhen hurriedly stepped forward, and when he heard this, he was also anxious: "How is it on the city wall, the rebels have begun to attack the city?" ”

Wang Chengen took a breath, but he knelt on the ground, tears flowed from his eyes: "Eh, the horse, the horse, the horse, he, he took two hundred people, and he went out of the city to suppress the chaos!" ”

"Ahh When Empress Zhou heard this, she also stood up in shock. They had just heard that there were at least 2,000 rebels outside the city.

"Ah...... Come on, the princess fainted......"
