Chapter 4 2 3 Move quickly
To the southeast of Fangling, Lei Daneng's camp tent.
After reading the letter sent by Zheng Dongping urgently, Lei Daneng cursed in a low voice, his breathing became heavy, his fists clenched, revealing an extremely gloomy expression, looking very angry.
"My lord, what happened? Is there something wrong with Fang Ling City?" The strategist on the side saw that Lei Daneng's expression was wrong, and asked cautiously.
Something big must have happened in Fangling City!
Otherwise, Lei Daneng would not be so angry.
"See for yourself!" said Ray as he handed the letter to the advisor with a blank face.
The advisor shuddered and took the letter, and when he looked at it carefully, his brow furrowed the more he looked.
Sure enough, as he guessed, something happened in Fangling City.
The letter is described in great detail.
Li Wuchang was extremely arrogant, and only brought two people into the city to make a huge movement, and very simply hit Bao Lin, one of the principals in the city, to a serious injury, causing Bao Lin to be unable to preside over the overall situation, and Zheng Dongping was a little difficult to support alone.
This made many people watch a joke, and it also dealt a serious blow to the morale of the defenders of Fangling City.
At the same time, Li Wuchang's right-hand man Zhao Xun took out the scout team in charge of the northern part of Fangling, and brought a large number of rebel soldiers to the city, which startled everyone.
In addition, Li Wuchang really united all the miscellaneous forces around him, and the means were very simple and effective, directly on gold and grain.
In just a few days, the miscellaneous mountain kings all gathered outside the city, and the total number of people was tens of thousands, and the momentum was violent, and Fangling City was in danger.
There is an even more worrying thing, the day after Li Wuchang left the city, chaos began to rise in Fangling City again, and several large-scale arson and injury incidents occurred in one day, which was very bad.
It seems that the previous investigation of the people in the city was not thorough, and many sinister elements saw that the opportunity was coming, and began to jump out to fish in troubled waters.
Li Wuchang also spoke out openly: "Fellow fathers and villagers in Fangling City, I, Lu Xifa, have no ill will towards you, I just want to deal with the people of the imperial court, if you want to live, you can temporarily go out of the city for refuge, so as not to accidentally hurt you when I attack the city."
After I take the city, if you want to come back, I, Lucifer, will definitely welcome you with both hands, and I will try my best to make up for everyone's losses!
If you can't get out of the city for the time being, it doesn't matter much, when I attack the city, you just need to stay at home obediently, and I will definitely not touch you.
However, if anyone dares to help the court defend the city while I am attacking it, it will only be three words, there will be no forgiveness!"
After hearing Li Wuchang's speech, the people in the city became even more flustered.
Many people packed up and prepared to temporarily go out of the city to take refuge in order to avoid being injured by mistake, but the city gate had already been ordered to be closed by Zheng Dongping, and a large number of soldiers were guarding it at any time.
Now that it is impossible to get out of the city through the city gate, many people gathered to ask Zheng Dongping to open the city gate and let everyone out, and some people directly used tools to climb over the wall and go out, but they couldn't stop it.
People's hearts are shattered!
There should still be Li Wuchang's men in the city, and they took the opportunity to release all kinds of words to disturb people's hearts.
"Li Wuchang is going to enter the city, everyone run for their lives, it's too late!"
"Li Wuchang has defeated the large army of the imperial court several times, and his combat power is amazing, and the defenders of less than 7,000 in Fangling City will definitely not be able to last a day!"
"Everyone, Li Wuchang was framed by the traitors of the imperial court before, and now he wants to take a bad breath, don't help the imperial court defend the city, so as not to affect the whole family!"
"When the time comes, everyone must stay at home, Li Wuchang is definitely not an innocent person!"
"Taishou is not in the city, there is only one way to die!"
The list goes on and on.
Zheng Dongping was under great pressure in response to such a situation.
He had to patiently deploy his troops to guard against the siege of the rebels outside the city, suppress the turmoil inside the city, find out the troublemakers, and spend a lot of effort to pacify the ordinary people in the city.
Coupled with the serious decline in the morale of the defenders in the city, the situation suddenly became extremely serious.
If there is no support, I am afraid that the tragic situation of Hongnong City in the past will be staged in Fangling City, Zheng Dongping said truthfully in the letter.
"My lord, I can't imagine that Li Wuchang's traitor moved so quickly!"
After reading the letter, the strategist was shocked.
Li Wuchang is not only quick in action, but also has many and effective methods.
The situation at this time is indeed very similar to Hongnong in the past, except that at that time, it was Zhu Changsheng to be the village, and now it is Li Wuchang's turn to be the villager.
Under the temptation of gold and grain, a group of mountain kings with some small strength quickly gathered around Li Wuchang, and it looked like a plate of business.
"Come on, tell me to go down, immediately assemble the elite set, and I will personally smash Li Wuchang's insidious and obscene shameless thief into pieces!"
Lei Daneng gritted his teeth.
The guards on the side were a little worried, and reminded: "My lord, our elite is probably only three thousand, it should be less than three thousand, can we only bring such a few people? ”
Lei Da Neng patiently explained: "It's not that I don't want to bring more, it's just that mine must be quick and respond to Fangling City as soon as possible, so as not to lower the morale in the city again and again!"
As for the follow-up men, just catch up slowly, and when the time comes, uproot the ragtag army outside the city, and let them know what a stupid decision they have made!"
The strategist thought for a moment and said, "My lord, my subordinates secretly thought that Li Wuchang would not launch a siege battle in a brutal manner!"
"Huh?"
Lei Daneng glanced at the strategist and waited for the following.
The strategist explained: "According to the previous information, most of the forces in the north of Fangling were just a rabble, far inferior to the various forces outside Hongnong City at that time, and the reason why Li Wuchang bought them was just to increase his momentum and disturb the morale and stability of the army in the city.
Although the number of rebels is large, the only ones who really have combat power are the 6,000 or so rebels under Li Wuchang who have been on the battlefield.
Li Wuchang should have the idea of wanting Fangling City to mess up first, and then find an opportunity to break the city from the inside.
Therefore, we should first send someone to expedite the letter to Dongping, so that he can try to stabilize himself, and the adults need to defeat Li Wuchang head-on in the field!"
Hearing this, Lei Daneng bowed his head slightly after being silent for a long time, feeling that what the strategist said was reasonable.
If Li Wuchang's strength is really a big mess, he won't take a huge risk to go to the city to play monkey shows, just crush it directly.
"Then in your opinion, should our large army continue to stay here to encircle and suppress the rebels here, and we will only take 3,000 elites back?" asked Lei Daneng.
The strategist said, "Of course, this has to be decided by the adults...... The subordinates just think that the current situation at the junction of the three counties is very good, and if we withdraw all our troops, the pressure on the rebels here will be greatly reduced!"
The operation of the three county guards to suppress the thieves is very smooth, and many rebels are killed every day, and the situation is indeed very good.
"It's at this time...... That damn shit-stirrer!" Lei Da Neng cursed fiercely.
