Yuzhou, Yingchuan County, Yanling.
Lingnan soldiers and horses invaded Yanling City, controlled all forces in the city, and replaced all their soldiers on the city walls.
Li Chengmu sat on horseback, dressed in silver armor, with a sword on his waist, majestic and majestic.
Long Yutian was wearing an armor made of fine steel and was shaking a feather fan, feeling very comfortable.
Feng Tu rode on horseback to protect Li Chengmu's other side.
And behind them, the banners fluttered, and the formation was full.
"Your Highness, the city has been controlled by Sha Yuliang, shall we enter the city?"
Li Chengmu clamped his horse's belly and drove forward, "Let's go."
Many places in the city were smoky, and the people were hiding in their houses, not daring to show their heads. The soldiers and horses in Lingnan not only had to clean up the thieves in the city, but also spared their hands to help the people put out the fire. It can be said that the city was very busy.
Long Yutian sat on the horseback, looked at everything in the city, frowned and said to Li Chengmu beside him: "These rebels are too aggressive, they just abandoned Yanling and ran away, and they dared to set fire to Yanling City , It's really disgusting!"
When Li Chengmu heard this, anger flashed in his eyes, and he looked at the chaos in the city: "When will the rebels consider the plight of the people? If we don't wipe out this group of rebels, Dayu will never have peace!"
Feng Tu glanced around the street, then turned his head and said to Li Chengmu: "There are about 5000 rebels stationed in Yanling. After our attack, the rest fled to Xuchang. This time we can do this The reason why we captured Yanling easily was because we were surprised and the rebels were unprepared. If the remnants of the rebels fled to Xuchang, then Xuchang will definitely be ready for battle. It will not be easy for us to capture Xuchang easily."
Long Yutian waved his feather fan and pointed to the west, and said, "Jingzhou soldiers and horses are attacking Yingyin, which is close to Jingzhou, in order to cooperate with our attack. We will receive news that they have captured Yingyin within two days."
Li Chengmu looked at his two generals left and right, and said with a smile: "According to what the supervisor said, Jingzhou soldiers and horses have recovered Yingyin, and we have recovered Yanling. The two cities are on the right and the left of Xuchang. When the army converges, we can attack Xuchang from both sides, so whether the rebels surrender or kill them is not up to us!"
Long Yutian nodded: "Let's go, the speed of the soldiers is the most important thing. Let's rest in Yanling tonight and march into Xuchang tomorrow!"
Several people led the team to hit horses and headed for the Yanling county government.
Entering the county government office, 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 small town called Weicang in Yanling, and there is a Artisans are very famous."
"What craftsman?"
Li Chengmu became 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 abilities of craftsmen. The equipment, glass factory and cement factory made by Lingnan Jinggang can explain everything. Having good craftsmen is equivalent to holding the trump card in your hand!
"He is good at equipment. One of my subordinates once bought a firecracker from him, and also bought several hidden weapons with mechanisms!" Long Yutian said truthfully.
Li Chengmu was very happy when he heard that, "If this person is really as capable as you said, you have made a great contribution. This person's ability is exactly what the queen mother needs. Of course, if he is willing to work for the mother, The future is endless!"
Long Yutian heard this, and immediately responded: "When we pass by Weicang, this subordinate will definitely use his three-inch tongue to persuade him well and let him work for the queen!"
On the second day when the army set out, Long Yutian disappeared early in the morning. When the team arrived at Weicang, he brought a middle-aged man to visit Li Chengmu.
"Your Highness, this is the old craftsman Luo that my subordinates mentioned yesterday." After speaking, Long Yutian turned around and introduced: "Old Luo, this is our Prince Highness, hurry up and pay your respects to Your Highness!"
Hearing this, old man Luo immediately knelt down without any hesitation, "Caomin has met His Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness Wanan!"
"Going out, keep everything simple, Master Luo, get up quickly." Li Chengmu signaled Chang Lu to help old man Luo up.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Old man Luo stood up and stood behind Long Yutian with his head bowed.
Li Chengmu was in a good mood, and said to Long Yutian with a smile: "Since Master Luo is willing to follow us, let's arrange for someone to send him back to the capital. Talents like him can only show their skills in the mother's place. Opportunity to flex your muscles!"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, this matter will be properly arranged!"
Whether the equipment in the army will have a chance to be upgraded in the future depends entirely on their craftsmen, how dare Long Yutian neglect them, and must make proper arrangements and send them back to the capital safely.
After sending old man Luo away, the team continued to Xuchang.
In the afternoon, information about Xuchang City was concentrated in the hands of Li Chengmu.
There are rebels stationed in Xuchang City. In fact, their real strength may have to be halved. Just as they claim to have troops to conquer the rebels, the real data is only soldiers.
Even if he can only have soldiers and horses, since the enemy is defending the city, it is still difficult for them to win the battle.
Twenty-five thousand soldiers and horses, including about a thousand cavalry, the elite of this rebel army is only about 5000 people, two thousand pikemen, one thousand musketeers, two thousand archers, and the rest are all swords and shields soldier.
There are 5000 soldiers and horses, and only about of them have armor. The rest of the battles go into battle without armor. This is equivalent to a humanoid meat shield.
But this battle was replaced by rebels defending the city, and the lives of these humanoid meat shields were somewhat guaranteed.
After reading the information in his hand, Li Chengmu ordered that he would not accept it at night and come back to check again!
"What does the supervisor think about this?"
The information was passed to Long Yutian.
"We are not afraid of confronting rebels, but if we want to minimize the loss, it is a bit difficult for us to win this battle. We must think of a perfect strategy." Long Yutian said truthfully.
Li Chengmu controlled the speed of the horse at the same speed as Long Yutian. He turned his head and asked, "Do you know anything about Xuchang's traitor guard?"
Long Yutian shook his head honestly: "In the past, my subordinates stayed in Lingnan and knew a little about the famous generals in the Central Plains, but they didn't know anything about the rebel generals."
Li Chengmu nodded regretfully, "Let Ye Bushou explore this aspect."
Speaking of which, this is not the first time Li Chengmu has led the army, but for some reason, maybe he has changed his identity, and he feels the pressure on his shoulders this time.
When you are under pressure, you become cautious, and you can make decisions casually before, but now you have to think about it!
In fact, not only they wanted to know more about Xuchang's defender, but also Jingzhou soldiers and horses.
The Xuchang rebel defenders are more anxious than their two soldiers.
"Have you found out any specific information?" Yuan Shixin, the general of the rebel Xuchang, was tense when he heard that Yanling and Yingyin had fallen, for fear that the two armies would encircle Xuchang.
Lieutenant General Hong Xing'an's face was a little dignified: "It is obvious that the two armies will encircle, we must make preparations in advance."
Yuan Shixin couldn't think of it, it was just a fluke in his heart, and he hoped that the two armies would detour to other places for self-interest, so he didn't want to embarrass him.
He frowned tightly, "What's going on, why did the soldiers and horses in Lingnan start to move out before the autumn harvest?"
This is completely disregarding Wude!
Originally, Yangzhou's troops were relatively weak, so they could bully them if they had nothing to do, and grab some food and grass to come back.
Ever since King Qian's soldiers came to Jiankang, they didn't dare to bully them in Yangzhou.
To the north is the Gyeonggi area adjacent to Yingchuan County. It used to be occupied by Beidi, and they didn't dare to tease the tiger's beard. Now it's replaced by Princess Qian, who is more cruel than Beidi people, and they dare not provoke it.
On the other side is Jingzhou, and they don't dare to provoke them. In the past few months, they have been obediently waiting for the autumn harvest in Yingchuan. Why can't they let them live a peaceful life for a few days.
Before the food was harvested, they had no surplus food and grass to fight, and the soldiers and horses of the two sides had already arrived at the door of the house.
"Does this keep people alive?"
Hong Xing'an stood aside and had to remind: "This time the enemy is coming fiercely, we have to prepare for the worst!"
When it came to the worst plan, Yuan Shixin's face darkened, "Speaking seriously, the Yuan clan in Yingchuan is still the ancestor of Yuan Rujiang, and he led troops to attack his clan out of all conscience!"
Hong Xing'an supported his forehead with a headache: "General, now that the enemy is present, we are traitors who are worthless in their eyes."
Wouldn't it be a fantasy to want officers and soldiers to respect these rebels?
Yuan Shixin was silent for a while after hearing this.
Logically speaking, he is also an official of the imperial court, but his fate is tricky. The three-year drought directly led to the rebellion of the rebels. He was kidnapped by the rebels at first, and later he took the initiative to help the rebels solve their difficulties. This is tantamount to treason .
Sure enough, when Jingzhou soldiers and horses arrived outside Xuchang City, a soldier with a loud voice raised a loudspeaker and scolded him at the city for counting the animals that had forgotten their ancestors!
They scolded whatever they said was unpleasant, and within a morning, the whole Xuchang City knew about this breaking news!
The information spread fast enough, and finally when Yuan Shixin was walking in Xuchang City, he could feel his surroundings being scrutinized indistinctly.
"General, the situation is critical now, we can't sit still!" Hong Xing'an was anxious.
He was from a rebel army. As a rebel army, he knew how to judge the situation and run away if he couldn't beat it. Anyway, no matter which territory belonged to the imperial court, they would give it to them if they wanted it.
Wherever they go, they occupy there, and occupying it is equal to earning money. There is no need to head-to-head with the imperial court.
Just like the soldiers and horses in Yanling, they found that they couldn't beat the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, so they just abandoned the city and fled. Life is possible in everything, and the result of fighting hard to the end may not even save their lives!
There is no chance to start over in life, of course life-saving is the most important thing!
Yuan Shixin is different from Hong Xing'an.
Yuan Shixin used to be an official, and his education let him know that fleeing without a fight is shameful!
So when he found out that he was being targeted by the enemy, he didn't even think about running away, but thinking about how to break the situation.
"What do you mean?" Yuan Shixin looked at him suspiciously.
Hong Xing'an almost died of anxiety from him, "Of course he abandoned the city and fled!"
Yuan Shixin: "."
Hong Xing'an couldn't bear his eyes, "Don't look at me with such eyes, if we don't escape now, and the other side is also surrounded by enemy soldiers and horses, then we can't escape, as long as we die Confess here, you can confess here with your life, are you willing?"
The last sentence hits the heart directly, is Yuan Mingxin willing to ask?
Of course they are not reconciled, who wants to commit their lives here in such a good time, how can they say death so easily after they have not married their wives!
"It's easy for us to escape, but how do we explain to the general?" Asking him to abandon the city and flee, Yuan Shixin felt a little overwhelmed for a while.
Hong Xing'an was extremely irritable, glared at him, and said: "Flee if you can't fight, it's a life-saving magic weapon that we have been using since the beginning of the incident, and now you doubt it, do you know that the general can't fight and flee anyway, do you believe it or not?"
-
In the Jingzhou barracks, Yuan Mingxian got out of the tent and stared at the city wall of Xuchang in a daze.
"General, do you need to feint once tonight?" Lai Zi asked after following him.
Yuan Mingxian glanced at the city wall again, and walked towards Huotou camp: "No, wait until His Royal Highness leads the troops to arrive! When the two teams of soldiers and horses encircle Xuchang, are you afraid that they will not be able to conquer this ruined city?"
Speaking of His Highness the Crown Prince, Lai Zi sighed: "Thinking back when we went to Runan to meet them, who would have thought that a son of a royal family would have the opportunity to sit on the throne of the crown prince, and a step-concubine who came back from the dead would be able to honor the world, you Do you mean this world is fantasy?"
Yuan Mingxian also felt that it was really hard to say what happened in life, "Who says it's not."
Having a good birth, having good parents, and having a great fortune, the combination of the three will eventually become the crown prince!
Lai Zi smiled and thought about it, and asked: "General, according to our friendship with His Highness the Crown Prince, will he reward us for this meeting? It is best to be an official."
Yuan Mingxian was speechless, and rolled his eyes at him: "You can be regarded as an official now, I warn you not to be too obsessed with official status!"
Lai Zi smiled and raised his head, and said proudly: "This official is not that official, but that official is a personal official with a seal of the emperor. How can it be compared with the current official status?"
Yuan Mingxian felt that his words were reasonable, so he encouraged him: "Then you go on, and try to make His Royal Highness pay attention to you!"
"That's what you said." Lai Zi scratched his head embarrassingly, "No matter what the subordinates do, they will not overshadow the light on the general. Don't worry, he will be the first to notice you when His Royal Highness comes in!"
Yuan Mingxian didn't bother to talk to him, he and His Royal Highness were fairly familiar, so why did he have to get to know him through him?
The two chatted and laughed, and Lai Zi's eyes fell on the city wall of Xuchang again. He remembered something and asked again: "General, tell me, will the rebels abandon the city tonight?"
After hearing what he said, Yuan Ming paused, and slowly turned his head to look at him: "Don't even mention it, it's really possible! The tactic that traitors are best at is to escape."
Lai Zi found it funny, "Then if they escape tonight, should our people pursue them?"
Although Yuan Mingxian regretted the head of the rebel leader, it is obvious that recovering Xuchang City is more important, "What to chase after, the credit for recovering Xuchang City is great enough, if the soldiers want to go to battle to kill the enemy, there will be opportunities in the future, as long as they have more free time Practice your skills, and you will always have a chance to make meritorious deeds when you practice well, and it is no problem to be crowned king or knight!"
