Yuzhou, Yingchuan County, Yanling.

The Lingnan soldiers and horses attacked the city of Yanling, controlled all the forces in the city, and all the soldiers on the city wall were replaced by their own generals.

Li Chengmu sat on horseback, dressed in silver armor and carrying a sword at his waist, majestic and majestic.

Long Yutian was wearing armor made of stainless steel, and he was shaking a feather fan in his hand, which was very comfortable.

Feng Tu rode on horseback to protect Li Chengmu's other side.

And behind them were fluttering flags, and the formation was full of formation.

"Your Highness, the city has been controlled by Sha Yuliang, will we enter the city?"

Li Chengmu clamped the horse's belly and drove the horse forward, "Let's go." ”

There was smoke in many places in the city, and the people hid in their houses and did not dare to raise their heads, and the soldiers and horses of Lingnan not only had to clean up the thieves in the city, but also had to spare manpower to help the people put out the fire, so it can be said that the city was busy.

Long Yutian sat on horseback, looked at everything in the city, frowned and said to Li Chengmu beside him: "These rebels have gone too far, they abandoned Yanling and fled directly, they even dared to set fire to Yanling City, it is really hateful!" ”

Li Chengmu listened, anger flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the chaos in the city: "When will the traitors consider the situation of the people, if we don't eliminate this group of traitors, Dayu will never have peace!" ”

Feng Tu glanced around the street, then turned to Li Chengmu and said, "There are about 5,000 rebels stationed in Yanling, and after our onslaught, the rest have fled to Xuchang. This time, we were able to capture Yanling so easily because we were surprised and the rebels were defenseless. If the remnants of the rebels are defeated and will flee to Xuchang, Xuchang will definitely be ready for battle, and it will not be easy for us to easily capture Xuchang. ”

Long Yutian shook his feather fan and pointed to the west, and said, "In order to cooperate with our attack, the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou attacked close to Yingyin in Jingzhou, and we will receive the news that they have captured Yingyin in less than two days." ”

Li Chengmu looked left and right at his two generals, and said with a smile: "According to what the prison army said, the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou have recovered Yingyin, we have recovered Yanling, and the two cities are on the right and the left in Xuchang. ”

Long Yutian nodded: "Let's go, the soldiers are at a fast pace, we will rest in Yanling tonight for one night, and march to Xuchang tomorrow!" ”

Several people led the team to beat horses and went to Yanling County.

When entering the county government and sitting in the lobby to rest and drink tea, Long Yutian remembered something again, raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Your Highness, on the way to Xuchang, there is a town called Weicang in Yanling, and there is a craftsman in the town who is very famous. ”

"What craftsman?"

Li Chengmu was interested, he knew that his mother was a craftsman who paid great attention to craftsmanship.

Through Xia Jing's attention, Li Chengmu has seen the ability of craftsmen, and the equipment, glass factory and cement factory made of Lingnan Stainless Steel can explain everything, and having a good craftsman is equivalent to holding a trump card in his hand!

"He's good at equipment, and his subordinates have bought a firearm from him, and he has also bought a few hidden weapons with mechanisms!" Long Yutian said truthfully.

Li Chengmu was very happy to hear this, "If this person really has the ability you said, you have made a great contribution, this person is exactly the person the queen mother needs, of course, if he is willing to serve the queen mother, the future is limitless!" ”

When Long Yutian heard this, he immediately responded: "When you pass by Weicang, your subordinates will definitely play a three-inch incorruptible tongue and persuade him to let him serve the queen!" ”

On the second day, the army was launched, Long Yutian disappeared early in the morning, and when the team arrived at Weicang, he brought a middle-aged man to meet Li Chengmu.

"Your Highness, this is the craftsman Luo Lao that his subordinates said yesterday." As he spoke, Long Yutian turned around and introduced: "Old man Luo, this is our Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why don't you hurry up and see Your Highness!" ”

When Old Man Luo heard this, he immediately knelt down, without hesitation, "The grass people have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness is safe!" ”

"When you're out and about, everything is simple, Master Luo hurry up." Li Chengmu motioned for a long way to help Old Man Luo up.

"Your Highness!" Old man Luo stood up and stood behind Long Yutian with his head down.

Li Chengmu was in a good mood, and said to Long Yutian with a smile: "Since Master Luo is willing to follow us, then arrange for someone to send him back to the capital, talents like him can only show their skills at the queen mother, and only then can they have the opportunity to show their strength!" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, this matter will be arranged by your subordinates!"

Whether the equipment in the army has a chance to improve in the future depends entirely on their group of craftsmen, how dare Long Yutian snub them, they must be properly arranged and sent back to the capital safely.

Seeing off Old Man Luo, the team continued to Xuchang.

In the afternoon, Xuchangcheng's information was concentrated in Li Chengmu's hands.

There are 50,000 rebels stationed in Xuchang City, in fact, the real strength may have to be halved, just as they claim to be 100,000 rebels in the south, but in fact, the real data is only 80,000 soldiers and horses.

Even if he could only have 25,000 soldiers and horses, since the enemy was defending the city, it would still be difficult for them to win the battle if they were besieging the city.

25,000 soldiers and horses, including about 1,000 cavalry, the elite of this rebel army is only about 5,000 people, 2,000 pikemen, 1,000 musketeers, 2,000 archers, and the rest are all sword and shield soldiers.

Of the 25,000 soldiers and horses, there are only about 5,000 people with armor, and the rest of the battles are all unarmoured, which is equivalent to a humanoid meat shield, and going to the battlefield is completely giving people heads.

But this battle was replaced by the rebels defending the city, and the lives of these humanoid meat shields were slightly guaranteed.

After reading the information in his hand, Li Chengmu ordered to explore it again at night!

"What do the Overseers think about this?"

The information was handed to Long Yutian.

"We are not afraid to face 25,000 traitors, but if we want to minimize our losses, it will be a bit difficult for us to win this battle, and we must think of a perfect strategy." Long Yutian said truthfully.

Li Chengmu controlled the speed of the horse and the speed of Long Yutian, and asked sideways, "Do you know anything about the traitor general of Xuchang?" ”

Long Yutian shook his head honestly: "My subordinates have been staying in Lingnan before, and I know a little about the famous generals in the Central Plains, but I don't know anything about the traitor's generals. ”

Li Chengmu nodded regretfully, "Let Ye Buhui explore this aspect." ”

Speaking of which, this is not the first time Li Chengmu has led the troops, but for some reason, it may have changed his identity, and he felt the pressure on his shoulders this time leading the troops.

When there is pressure, you become cautious, and what you used to decide casually will be considered again and again!

In fact, not only did they want to know more about the Xuchang guards, but the Jingzhou soldiers and horses also wanted to know more about it.

And the rebel defenders of Xuchang were more anxious than their two soldiers.

"Did Tanma find out the specific news?" Yuan Shixin, the general of the rebel Xuchang army, had been nervous when he heard that Yanling and Yingyin had lost, for fear that the two armies would encircle Xuchang.

Adjutant General Hong Xing'an's face was a little solemn: "The encirclement of the two armies is obvious, and we must prepare in advance." ”

Yuan Shixin couldn't think of it, but he just had a fluke mentality in his heart, and he hoped that the two armies would make a detour to other places to cause trouble, just don't come to embarrass him.

He frowned tightly, "What's the matter, why hasn't the autumn harvest yet arrived, and the soldiers and horses in Lingnan began to dispatch?" ”

This is completely unmartial arts!

Originally, Yangzhou's troops were weak, and they could bully them if they had nothing to do, and grab some grain and grass to come back.

Since King Qian's soldiers and horses came to Jiankang, they didn't dare to bully them at will in Yangzhou.

To the north is the Gyeonggi region adjacent to Yingchuan County, which was occupied by Beidi in the past, and they did not dare to provoke the tiger's whiskers, but now they have replaced it with Princess Qian, who is more ferocious than the Beidi people, and they dare not provoke it.

On the other side, Jingzhou is adjacent, and they don't dare to provoke them, they have been waiting for the autumn harvest in Yingchuan honestly in the past few months, why can't they let them have a few days of peaceful birthdays.

The grain had not yet been harvested, and they had no surplus grain and grass to fight, and the soldiers and horses of the two sides had already arrived at their doorstep.

"Is this still going to let people live?"

Hong Xing'an stood aside and had to remind: "This time the enemy is fierce, we have to prepare for the worst!" ”

Speaking of the worst plan, Yuan Shixin's face darkened, "Speaking seriously, the Yingchuan Yuan clan is still the ancestor of Yuan Rujiang, and he only led troops to attack his clan after losing his conscience!" ”

Hong Xingan held his forehead with a headache: "General, now that the enemy is present, we are traitors who cannot be put on the stage in their eyes." ”

Isn't it a fantasy to want the officers and soldiers to respect them as traitors?

Yuan Shixin heard this and was silent for a while.

It stands to reason that he is also an official of the imperial court, but fate makes people, three years of drought directly led to the rebels rising up, he was initially held hostage by the rebels, and later took the initiative to help the rebels solve difficulties, which is tantamount to treason.

Sure enough, when the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou arrived outside Xuchang City, there were soldiers with loud voices holding a loudspeaker and scolding him for forgetting his ancestors' livestock in the city!

If you say anything ugly, you can scold anything, and in less than a morning, the entire Xuchang City knows this exciting news!

The information spread fast enough, and finally when Yuan Shixin walked in Xuchang City, he could feel the scrutiny around him.

"General, the situation is critical now, we can't sit still!" Hong Xing'an was in a hurry.

He was born in the rebels, and as the rebels know the most about judging things, if they can't beat it, they can run, anyway, no matter which territory belongs to the imperial court, they will give it to them if they want.

They occupy it wherever they go, and what they occupy is equal to earning, and there is no need to fight with the imperial court soldiers and horses.

Just like the soldiers and horses of Yanling, they just found that they couldn't defeat the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, so they abandoned the city and fled.

There is no chance to start over in life, of course, it is important to save your life!

Yuan Shixin is different from Hong Xing'an.

Yuan Shixin used to be an official, and his education made him know that it was shameful to run away without a fight!

So when he found out that he was targeted by the enemy for the first time, he didn't think about escaping at all, but thought about how to break the game.

"What do you mean?" Yuan Shixin looked at him suspiciously.

Hong Xing'an was about to die of his urgency, "Of course he abandoned the city and fled!" ”

Yuan Shixin: "."

Hong Xing'an couldn't stand his eyes, "Don't look at me with such eyes, if we don't flee now, and the other side is surrounded by the enemy's soldiers and horses, then we will not be able to escape, as long as we give our lives here, we can give our lives here, are you willing?" ”

The most sentence hits the heart, do you want to ask Yuan Mingxin if he is willing?

Of course they are unwilling, who wants to give their lives here in a good year, they haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, how can they easily say death!

"It's easy for us to escape, but what do we do with the general?" Let him abandon the city and flee, Yuan Shixin couldn't pass the hurdle in his heart for a while.

Hong Xing'an was extremely irritable, glared at him, and said: "If you can't fight, you can escape, it is the life-saving magic weapon that we have been using since the incident, and now you actually doubt it, do you know that the general can't beat and escape, do you believe it or not?" ”

——

In the Jingzhou barracks, Yuan Mingxian got out of the tent and looked at the Xuchang city wall in a daze.

"General, do you need to make a feint tonight?" Laizi asked, who came out with him.

Yuan Mingxian glanced at the city wall again and walked towards the gang's camp: "No, wait until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leads the troops to arrive!" At that time, the two teams of soldiers and horses will surround Xuchang, are you afraid that you will not be able to capture this broken city? ”

Speaking of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lai Zi sighed: "I think that when we went to Runan to meet them, who would have thought that a prince of the palace would have the opportunity to sit on the throne of the crown prince, and a step-concubine who came back from the dead could actually be the mother of the world, do you say that this world is mysterious?" ”

Yuan Mingxian also felt that life experiences were really difficult to say, "Who said it wasn't." ”

has a good birth, a good parent, and a great opportunity, the three are one, and this will not eventually become the prince!

Lai Zi smiled and thought about it, and asked, "General, you said that according to our friendship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you said that this meeting, will he reward us?" It's best to be able to make an official. ”

Yuan Mingxian was speechless and rolled his eyes at him: "You are now an official, I warn you not to be too obsessed with the official!" ”

Lai Zi raised his head with a smile and said arrogantly: "This official is not another official, but the other official is the emperor's personal official body with a big seal, how can it be compared with the current official body?" ”

Yuan Mingxian felt that his words were reasonable, so he encouraged: "Then come on, try to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince notice you!" ”

"That's what I said." Lai Zi scratched his head embarrassedly, "No matter how your subordinates deal with it, it won't overshadow the light on the general, don't worry, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes in, he will be the first to notice you!" ”

Yuan Mingxian didn't bother to pay attention to him, he was quite familiar with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why did he have to know him through him?

The two talked and laughed, and Lai Zi's eyes fell on the city wall of Xuchang again, and he asked again when he remembered something: "General, you say, will the rebels abandon the city and flee tonight?" ”

Yuan Mingwan listened to his words, paused, and slowly turned his head to look at him: "Don't say it, it's really possible!" The best tactic for traitors is to escape. ”

Laizi felt amused when she heard it, "Then if they flee tonight, will our people pursue them?" ”

Although Yuan Mingxian regretted the head of the rebel thief, it was obviously more important to recover Xuchang City, "What to chase, the credit for recovering Xuchang City is big enough, if the soldiers want to go into battle to kill the enemy, there will be opportunities in the future, as long as they take advantage of their free time to practice their skills, they will always have a chance to produce merit when they practice their skills, and it is not a problem to be crowned the king!" ”
