Chapter 4 2 4 The Opportunity Comes
"Is Li Wuchang attacking the city?" Lei Daneng asked as he looked at the guards who had just dismounted and were still panting.
At present, the main enemy under Fangling City is Li Wuchang, who led a group of miscellaneous troops to besiege the city.
In this case, Lei Daneng took three thousand elites to gallop quickly from the shortcut, and in addition to the action, of course, he needed to know Li Wuchang's movements at any time, which was handed over to the guards with good skills, with fast horses, relay round trip.
"Lord Hui, no!" the guard explained, "Although Li Wuchang and the various miscellaneous rebels outside the city have gathered under the city and have sufficient siege equipment, they have not yet begun to attack the city, and they mainly shout and feint.
On the contrary, the situation in the city is worrying, people's hearts are unstable, morale is low, there are more troublemakers, and many people are instigated to make trouble by people with hearts, Mr. Zheng needs to allocate large manpower to suppress it, in addition to fires, there have also been many street fights, and many people have died!"
This is to be expected.
It also confirmed the previous conjecture that Li Wuchang was testing pressure outside the city, but he was actually looking for an opportunity to break the city from the inside.
Lei Daneng nodded, and asked again: "Then does Li Wuchang have any special movements?"
The guard said: "In addition to scolding, Li Wuchang's subordinates often line up to practice, and even make soup, barbecue, drink, dance, bathe, and dry clothes, which are very arrogant, and they are clearly provoking our defenders in the city!"
If there are special circumstances...... Well, that is, there are often masters who climb the city wall from the dead end of the city wall, in a vain attempt to make wind and rain in the city.
Fortunately, Mr. Zheng was witty, he directly ordered the north gate to be completely sealed with sand and gravel bags, and then ordered people to guard the city wall in shifts, step up patrols, and boost morale, now only wait for the adults to go and quell the rebellion!"
Lei Daneng snorted and bowed slightly.
It's okay to block it.
He had heard of Li Wuchang's deeds in Hongnong, when Li Wuchang gathered many masters and broke the city gate with internal force, which was very brutal.
Now that the two gates in the north and south of Fangling City have been sealed, it is impossible to attack through the city gates, which can be regarded as learning the lesson of Hongnong City.
Now, if Li Wuchang's army wants to attack the city head-on, it can only climb up from the city wall with the help of a cloud ladder, the wall of Fangling City is quite high, and it will definitely take more effort to climb up.
Another guard said happily: "My lord, now it seems that Li Wuchang really won't attack the city arrogantly, he must be afraid that his troops will suffer heavy losses, so he is just shouting outside the city, trying to lure Teacher Zheng out of the city...... That is undoubtedly a fool's dream, as long as we hurry quickly, we will definitely be able to kill Li Wuchang by surprise, and the morale in the city will definitely rise sharply at that time!"
"Yes, my lord, this can be seen from Li Wuchang sending a master to climb the wall and go in!" someone immediately chimed in.
The strategist on the side frowned slightly, and interjected and asked, "Have you seen Li Wuchang himself?"
The guard shook his head and said, "I didn't see it at the time, but it is said that Li Wuchang often shows up under the city wall, and he will play a few sword tricks in front of everyone, which always causes a large number of exclamations!"
The strategist said: "What about his right-hand men, such as Zhao Xun, Jiang Minglun, Wei Xin, Wu Xun and others. ”
The guard replied: "Every time Li Wuchang appears, there are many people around him, all of them look extraordinary, and their strength should be good, I think they are those people!"
The strategist said, "What about the number of troops under his command, is there 10,000?"
The guard said: "Li Wuchang's troops have always been the object of focus, since Zhao Xun brought nearly 3,000 people to camp outside the city, Li Wuchang returned to his mountain and brought out all the remaining troops, adding up to exactly 10,000. ”
The counsellor stopped asking questions and began to ponder.
When Lei Daneng heard this, he asked, "Are you worried that Li Wuchang will use the strategy of dividing troops to ambush us and others?"
The strategist nodded and said, "Do you remember the rout of General Shan Boyuan of Hongnong County at that time?"
Of course this Lei Da Neng remembers.
At that time, Li Wuchang united various forces to suppress Hongnong City, and he also shouted and scolded endlessly every day, making the defenders in the city panic, and at the same time, Zhu Changsheng, who was confronting Shan Boyuan in the field, suddenly increased his offensive and didn't care about losses at all.
Everyone thought that Zhu Changsheng was going to drag Shan Boyuan with all his might, so that Li Wuchang would have no worries and take Hongnong City as soon as possible, who knew that Li Wuchang played a blow and attacked the west, and directly led the crowd to run around the small road quickly, and suddenly appeared behind Shan Boyuan's large army, and Zhu Changsheng attacked Shan Boyuan, giving Shan Boyuan a fatal blow.
That is, at that time, the imperial court lost more than 20,000 troops, and Shan Boyuan fled to Jingzhao with less than 500 people.
caused a huge sensation.
Will Li Wuchang play the same trick this time?
The guard smiled and said, "My lord, don't worry about it, how can the situation in Fangling be as severe as Hongnong was at that time? Li Wuchang's troops are currently under the city, and I don't even know that we are rushing back."
Taking a step back, even if Li Wuchang intercepts us and others halfway, it is useless, it will only cheapen us, haven't you analyzed it before, Li Wuchang's men can fight about 6,000, and the others are all recruits, so there is no need to worry. ”
Lei Daneng snorted, and then said loudly: "Tell me to go down and hurry at full speed, I want to see what tricks Li Wuchang's-stirring stick can play this time!"
After thinking for a while, he continued: "In this way, send hundreds of people to open the way, if someone is ambushed, it will also have a role of warning in advance!"
......
Li Wuchang did not have the consciousness of "-stirring stick" at all, at this time he stood on a high slope, standing with his hands in his hands, looking quite superior.
After he made a public appearance under Fangling City, he rushed here at full speed.
This place is a canyon, located in the southeast of Fangling City, the road is not easy to walk, but it is a short way back to the city.
All that is left to do now is to wait.
Han Dazhi didn't lie, he really had a say in the Qinghuo Club, and Gang Leader Yang valued him very much, and gave him a lot of masters and helpers for him to deploy.
With Han Dazhi's help, there are now more available troops in hand, and the news is more well-informed.
Lei Daneng really moved, and only brought 3,000 people with him.
The big plan to assassinate Lei Da Neng has not changed, but the details have changed.
Now's finally your chance!
"Stunned, stunned, good news!"
The fat bear rushed over, his face was full of excitement, and said: "Lei Daneng's vanguard troops are here, there are hundreds of them, groping forward, and the remaining more than 2,000 troops are not far away, just a few miles away, Lei Daneng's house is among them, and he is still riding a white horse very coquettishly!"
"Is it Lei Da Neng, or Pang Tong?" Li Wuchang smiled faintly.
"Pang Tong, who is that?" the fat bear grabbed his head, "It's Lei Daneng, that guy is the same as me, with a tiger's back and a big beard, which is very easy to recognize." ”
"Nothing!"
Li Wuchang waved his hand and said, "Tell me to go down, tell the brothers to continue to hide, don't mess up for me, and let Lei Da Neng's vanguard force go." ”
"Yes, stunned!"
