In the meeting hall of the Lord's Mansion of Dingxiang City, after Luo Zhang went out to call for rescue, everyone in the hall looked at Luo Zhang with hesitation and suspicion in their eyes, but they were not sure.
In their view, although Luo Zhang had strategies, he had no experience in leading troops in actual combat. Everyone was skeptical when he led troops.
Li Jing looked at Luo Zhang, who was leaving to fight, and was making calculations in his mind. However, Li Ji couldn't wait any longer. He bowed to Li Jing and said, "Commander, I think Luo Zhang can do it. With his martial arts skills and my ability in With help, we will be able to rescue General Cheng, Jun and others!"
"Rescuing people now is like putting out fire, please give the commander an order!"
Li Jing glanced at Li Ji, nodded slightly and said, "Luo Zhang obeys the order!"
"My subordinate is here!" Luo Zhang bowed.
"I order you to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to the Turkic camp to rescue. Don't be reluctant to fight. Rescue Cheng Yaojin and others and return to the city immediately. No mistake!" Li Jing picked up a command arrow on the table and handed it to Luo Zhang.
"General, take your orders!" Luo Zhang stepped forward, bowed and took the arrow.
"Be careful when going here. If something cannot be done, don't put yourself in danger. We will consider it in the long run!" Li Jing warned after handing the command arrow to Luo Zhang.
"Yes, Marshal!" Luo Zhang nodded.
"But Marshal, I need a batch of wooden lumps. With those things, I might be able to get twice the result with half the effort!" Luo Zhang put forward his own suggestion.
Li Jing thought for a while and said: "Okay, you can go to the warehouse in the east of the city to get it by yourself. Don't delay!"
Luo Zhang bowed again, turned around and left the city lord's mansion with Li Ji.
Watching Luo Zhang leave, Li Jing's face suddenly darkened. This time the army attacked but was surrounded by a plan by the Turks. If there was no mole in this matter, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death. He was just dealing with rescue matters, he didn't. He mentioned that he was just asking for the records of those who had left the city. Now that Luo Zhang had received the order to go to the rescue, he naturally had his hands free to deal with the mole.
Moreover, the warehouse in the east of the city was robbed, which cannot be ignored. It is obvious that there were many spies among his army. These people had nothing to do with the army when they won, but if the army was defeated, these people could not be ignored. , one mistake will cause the army to fail, so they must be dug out as soon as possible!
After a while, the general of the border army brought back a list of those who would leave the city at that time.
Since it was wartime, there were not many people leaving the city. Except for some spies who had to go out to collect information, there were only some people transporting grain and grass. After these people were eliminated, there were not many people left.
Looking at the names of the remaining people, Li Jing immediately ordered: "Bring all these people under my control and ask them what they are doing when they leave the city. If they can't tell, or if there are any suspicious ones, arrest them all and interrogate them strictly. I would rather Kill a thousand by mistake, don’t let one go!”
"Yes, Commander!" The general of the border army immediately took the order and left.
"Commander, how to deal with the robbery of the warehouse in the east of the city? Now we have searched the whole city, but no trace has been found!" A city guard came out to report.
"How many casualties were there? How many wooden knots were lost?" Li Jing asked, rubbing his eyebrows.
It was okay if nothing happened, but when something happened, everything piled up together, making him feel physically and mentally exhausted.
"The soldiers guarding the warehouse lost more than thirty people. The people who came were highly skilled in martial arts. They should be at the True Element Realm. The guard was at the peak of the Qi Sense Realm. He was injured by him before he could last even one round. Three boxes of wooden lumps were lost, totaling 150 pieces!" the city guard reported in detail.
"A True Yuan Realm master? There is actually such a person in the city?" Li Jing raised his eyebrows and snorted softly.
"Now that the city gate has been sealed, the plunderers must have not left. Li Gongfeng, I will leave it to you to lead people to investigate this matter. The three boxes of wooden lumps must be recovered. These items must not fall into Xiaoxiao's hands, otherwise they will be killed. It will cause a catastrophe!" Li Jing said towards the tent at the rear.
I saw an old man with white hair walking out of the tent behind him. If Luo Zhang was here, he must have known him. He was a master in the royal family, and he was also the one who followed the army to protect Li Jing this time.
"Leave this matter to me. If he dares to take action here, then he can't escape!" The old man surnamed Li snorted and walked behind the curtain again.
After leaving the city lord's palace, Luo Zhang did not rush to the east warehouse of the city immediately. Instead, he asked Li Ji to go ahead and mobilize the wooden lumps, while he headed towards his own house to rescue Cheng Yaojin and the others. Luo Zhang could He didn't really want to put himself in danger, and his martial arts skills were simply not impressive enough on the battlefield, so he naturally had to bring big hands when going to the rescue, and the best big hand was Lao Poison.
This old guy's poison is a group attack. With him around, it's impossible for others to get close to him. And if there is any danger, this old guy can also help. It can be said to be a home trip... Ahem, go to war. Someone you must take with you when you go out.
When Luo Zhang returned to the house and talked about the matter, the old poisonous man followed Luo Zhang without saying anything. As for Sun Simiao, Luo Zhang asked him to stay here. After all, there are still two killers of Chang Sun Chong imprisoned here. If they all go, these two people will definitely be kidnapped. He will have to rely on these two people as hostages to check and balance Changsun Qing.
Of course, when leaving, Luo Zhang informed Sun Simiao about the looting of Muqiao in the warehouse in the east of the city, and asked him to keep an eye on Changsun Qing in Changsun Chong's mansion. For this reason, Luo Zhang kept all the eighteen riders, Assistant Sun Simiao left with only Chen Kuifeng.
When Luo Zhang rushed to the north gate of the city with his helmet on and his armor on his hands, Li Ji was already waiting there with his people.
The city gate opened wide, Luo Zhang said hello, and the army marched out of the city in a mighty force.
Although he had no experience in leading troops in battle, with the assistance of Li Ji, the army advanced in an orderly manner without any trouble.
Just when Luo Zhang was leaving the city to rescue, the Turkic camp, Cheng Yaojin and others finally retreated to the camp after some resistance. The Turks just wanted to pursue, but were blocked by a volley of fire from the Tang army who had entered the camp in advance to prepare for their deployment. It's outside.
When the gate of the village was closed, Cheng Yaojin finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not take it lightly. Instead, he directed his soldiers to continuously guard the gate of the village. At the same time, he concentrated all the bows and arrows to guard the camp to prevent the Turks from raiding.
Cheng Yaojin entered the camp, followed closely by Hou Junji's troops who also retreated step by step. On the contrary, Yuchi Jingde's side encountered a particularly fierce resistance and could not retreat at all, and was blocked from the camp by the Turks.
Cheng Yaojin, who had just retreated, received a report from his men after taking a short rest. Yuchi Jingde was under siege and was surrounded by danger.
Without thinking much, Cheng Yaojin went into battle again and led his soldiers to the village gate on the right to rescue Yuchi Jingde!
At this time, Hou Junji also received the news immediately. After learning that Cheng Yaojin was going to rescue him, he chose to sit in the camp and deploy his troops to guard the camp.
Dazhai, which originally belonged to the Turks, unexpectedly became their refuge. What an irony.
