Nowadays, the public opinion in Guancheng County is like a time bomb, and what Liu Rengui is doing is to collect these time bombs and detonate them together at a specific time, blowing up this solid city. A crack!
Many things may seem indestructible from the outside, but if you look at them from the inside, they may be easily breakable!
"Report~!"
"Reporting to the General, the forward scouts discovered a large number of troops and a group of unidentified people at the junction of Zhengzhou and Xuzhou, and they are rushing towards us!"
At five quarters of noon, in the main tent of the Xuanjia Army in the south of the city, a sergeant hurriedly ran in and said to Duan Zhixuan.
"Oh? At this time, an unidentified army of 50,000 suddenly appeared. It must be the reinforcements of Cui and Zhen. As for those people in the world, they are probably the retainers supported by these two families in recent years! Can you see clearly? How many people are there in total? How long will it take to reach Guancheng~?"
Duan Zhixuan's expression changed, he stood up and said.
"Back to General, there are probably more than 50,000 people on the other side. According to their marching speed, it is estimated that they will reach Guancheng around Youshi!"
"When will the chief manager of Youshi and the others arrive?"
Duan Zhixuan's expression moved slightly, he thought for a while and asked again.
"According to the latest information, the General Manager's army is still more than thirty miles away from Guancheng County, and it is estimated that it will arrive in Guancheng County around Youshi, but"
At the end of the sentence, the sergeant suddenly became a little hesitant.
Duan Zhixuan frowned and said, "Just what~?"
"It's just that the general's army traveled day and night. As far as the general knows, they only rested for less than two hours last night!"
The sergeant cupped his fists.
His intention was very obvious, he just wanted to tell Duan Zhixuan that even if the army led by Li Jing arrived, its combat power was estimated to be very low. After all, they had never really rested all day and night!
Duan Zhixuan's brows furrowed deeply. After thinking for a moment, he ordered: "Wu Feng, Zheng Shu, you two go to the east and west camps respectively, and ask Ren Can and Wang Yu to mobilize 20,000 troops and horses respectively to go with me. Go and stop the Cui and Zheng families’ reinforcements!”
"General, what should we do if the rebels in the city take the opportunity to escape from the south city gate?"
The general on the left front of Duan Zhixuan cupped his fists.
"I will only lead one thousand Xuanjia troops, and the remaining two thousand Xuanjia troops will be led by the two of you! If the Cui family plans to escape from the south city gate, you and the 60,000 elites brought by the general manager can easily defeat them. ~!"
Duan Zhixuan said coldly.
Wu Feng and Zheng Shu looked at each other, then clasped their fists and said in unison: "I will obey the order~!"
"Well, by the way, report the military information here to the chief manager~!"
Finally, Duan Zhixuan gave another instruction.
"Here~!"
………………………
"Report~!"
"Reporting to the three Grand Dukes, there is a letter from the two Young Masters, saying that our reinforcements have arrived forty miles outside the city! In more than two hours, they will reach the south of the city~!"
Guancheng County, governor's office.
A soldier hurried in carrying a piece of paper and bowed.
This time the reinforcements from the Cui and Zheng families were personally led by Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie, the eldest grandsons of Cui Wenji and Zheng Shuwu. The teams all carried carrier pigeons so that they could send messages to the city at any time!
Of course, this message is one-way. Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie can use carrier pigeons to send messages to the city. However, Cui Wenji and Zheng Shuwu in the city cannot use carrier pigeons to send messages to Cui Shen and the others because the army is constantly moving. Carrier pigeons I will only return to the home in my memory!
In comparison, the superiority of telegraph communication is obvious!
"Okay! Okay! As soon as the reinforcements brought by Shen'er and others arrive, we will fight out from the south city gate. Under attack from both inside and outside, don't you believe that we can't find a way out?"
Cui Wenji stood up and laughed.
Cui Junchuo hesitated and said: "Brother Wen Ji, the army has been marching all day, why don't you let them rest for one night and fight again tomorrow?"
Cui Wen was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "Jun Chuo is right! Look at my head, I must be an old fool! When I get excited, I forget everything! The army has been tired all the way and should really rest for the night. Then tomorrow Let’s do another raid! But, how should our news get out?”
As soon as this statement came out, Cui Junchuo, Cui Wenji and Zheng Shuwu were all in trouble. Previously, they blocked the city so that Wei Zheng and Liu Rengui could not spread the news. It was not until Li Yu came to take charge of the city that the situation changed. Now, Guancheng County was besieged by the imperial army. Cui Junchuo and others finally realized the situation that Wei Zheng and Liu Rengui were in!
"For the current plan, we can only wait for Huai Jie and the others to send another message. Everything will be done according to their plan. If they choose to fight tonight, then we will go out of the city to fight. If they choose to rest for a night before fighting, then we will Wait until tomorrow to lead the troops out of the city!"
After a long silence, Zheng Shuwu said helplessly.
"That's all!"
……………………
"Report~!"
"Report to the General Manager, General Duan has sent an urgent report!"
In the wilderness thirty miles west of Guancheng County, a huge army was advancing rapidly. Suddenly, a knight in black armor came towards him. Li Jing quickly ordered the army to stop, and saw the knight quickly dismounted and held his fists.
"read!"
Li Jing said in a deep voice.
"Report to the General Manager that General Duan found reinforcements from the Cui and Zheng families forty miles south of Guancheng County, as well as the martial arts masters and dead men supported by them. General Duan sent 20,000 people from the east and west gates respectively. Soldiers, and led a thousand Xuanjia troops to ambush. General Duan said that the general manager and others traveled all night, and they must be exhausted. At that time, all we need to do is help prevent the rebels in the city from escaping in the south of the city!"
The black-armored sergeant cupped his fists.
Defending is always more energy-saving than taking the initiative to attack. There is nothing wrong with Duan Zhixuan's arrangement!
"Bastard! What does Duan Zhixuan mean? Who is tired? This is looking down on us veterans! Damn it, you want to take the credit from me, old Cheng, there is no way! Chief manager, please give me the order from old Cheng to bring a thousand elite troops lightly dressed in simple clothes Go and stop the Cui and Zheng families’ reinforcements!”
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he was immediately furious. He cupped his hands towards Li Jing angrily and said.
"Know your integrity and don't be impulsive~! General Duan is right. The army has been marching for a whole day and a night, and it is true that the men and horses are exhausted!"
Qin Qiong pulled Cheng Yaojin and stopped him.
Li Jing frowned and said nothing. After a moment, he stretched out his hand and said, "Bring the map!"
"Here!"
A sergeant next to him quickly handed over the map.
Li Jing spread his arms, pointed at a location on the map, and said to Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and Niu Jinda:
"The reinforcements from the Cui and Zheng families should be in the Mi County area at the moment, less than thirty miles away from us. Since this group of reinforcements is the last trump card of the Cui and Zheng families, their combat power must not be underestimated, not to mention that there are There are many martial arts masters and dead men. I'm worried that Duan Zhixuan's people are no match for him! Zhijie, you bring five thousand elites to support Duan Zhixuan quickly. When the time comes, you can act according to your circumstances! Wait until I consolidate the defense of the three gates of Guancheng County After the formation, I will bring people to support you!"
Cheng Yaojin burst out laughing when he heard this: "Haha! Okay! Don't worry, Chief Manager, I, old Cheng, will definitely kill all the rebels without leaving any trace behind!"
Qin Qiong said anxiously: "General manager, it is easy to advance rashly when leading troops with integrity. I should go with him! With you and Jinda over there in Guancheng County, there shouldn't be any accidents!"
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, his face suddenly fell, but Qin Qiong was talking about him, and he didn't dare to talk back.
Li Jing thought for a while and said: "Such a great kindness!"
A moment later, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin selected 5,000 elite soldiers from the 60,000-strong army and rushed toward Mi County in the southeast.
……………………
"We will see Guancheng County in half an hour. Huaijie, should we find a hidden place outside the city to rest for the night, or should we launch an attack directly?"
On the official road to the north of Mi County, reinforcements from the Cui and Zheng families were also running rapidly. Cui Shen, the leader, spoke at this time.
Zheng Huaijie rubbed his thighs that were almost scratched. He had always been a pampered master, so how could he endure such hardship? If the Zheng family hadn't encountered a life-and-death crisis this time, he wouldn't have gone through such trouble in person. , after hesitating for a moment, he said: "How about we launch the attack again tomorrow! The soldiers must be tired after walking for a day!"
Cui Shen nodded and said, "Okay! I'll let someone else pass the message to my grandfather!"
The army continued to move forward. At this time, there was a mountain road in front of it. The mountain road was not very narrow and could accommodate four horses walking side by side. The slopes on both sides were not very steep, and there were dense jungles growing on the slopes.
"Sir, please tell the army to be more vigilant and be careful of ambush!"
An old man next to Cui Shen, Wang Tieshou, who had previously said that he would lead an army to kill the Xuanjia Army without leaving a single piece of armor behind, came next to Cui Shen and said with a serious face.
Cui Shen frowned and said: "Ambush? Sleeping will ambush me at this time..."
"Keng! Keng! Keng!"
"kill!"
Before Cui Shen could finish his sentence, countless soldiers suddenly rushed down from the hillsides on both sides. They held Mo knives and marched forward towards the Cui and Zheng armies!
"There is an ambush! Draw your sword and fight! Be careful to maintain your formation!"
Wang Tieshou roared, and then accompanied by several masters, guarded Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie in the middle!
The armies of both sides soon fought together. Since they did not know where the other side was coming and whether there would be reinforcements from the other side, Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie ordered the armies to fight and advance, intending to get out of the mountain road first and get rid of the terrain that was not conducive to them!
Soon, they saw the mountain pass. After leaving this mountain pass, there was a plain in front of them, and they could fight each other head-on!
"Bang bang bang!"
Just when Cui Shen and his army were about to leave the mountain pass, everyone suddenly felt the earth shaking. Then, a group of black-armored heavy cavalry appeared on the plain outside the mountain pass. They exuded a strong and cold murderous aura. , like a team of death knights from hell!
"Xuanjia Army? Young Master, it's Xuanjia Army! But why is Xuanjia Army here?"
Wang Tieshou said with fear on his face.
