Chapter 1988 - Confrontation
"When do you plan to get married? Are you going to never get married in this life?" Bei Lingxuan asked next.
"I will do it when this matter is over."
"Ah?" Bei Lingxuan was stunned when she heard this.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing, have you agreed with Miss Shuangxue?"
"Haha, we are going too far. We are not sure what the situation will be then."
While the two were chatting, Ye Luo and Qin Shang walked in. After saying hello, Qin Shang said: "Master, the imperial court has allocated some food and grass to the Wulin Rebels. It has been delivered. The person who sent the food and grass said.
You need to receive it in person."
"Sending food and grass? What's going on?" Chi Zhongtian didn't react for a moment.
"Needless to say, it must be your good brother Yongmen Zi Di. Go quickly."
After arriving, Chi Zhongtian saw a large number of carriages parked in a row. The leader, wearing official uniform, should be the leader.
"General Chi."
"It's down there."
"This is the food and grass allocated by the Ministry of War, specifically for the Wulin Rebels. Please ask General Chi to send someone to bring the food and grass back."
"Okay, thank you very much, someone's here!"
"The owner of the village!"
"Call someone to move it immediately."
"yes!"
"Great Protector." Bei Lingxuan also shouted.
Xue Long, who had been nearby, heard it and came out immediately.
"Go and tell everyone that if there's nothing wrong, come and help."
"yes!"
The twenty carts of grain and grass were quickly moved. Hong Daliu also knew about this matter. He was jealous and had no choice. Although he was the general of the South Road Camp, he still had to be under the control of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War had to do something
What, it’s still not his turn to point fingers.
Three days later, Gu Aoyun came back.
Sure enough, he inquired about the news.
There are approximately 50,000 to 60,000 defenders in Lijiang City, not counting Sissoari and his disciples of the Fuyu Sect.
After getting the news, Chi Zhongtian immediately went to tell Hong Daliue.
As soon as Hong Dali heard that there were 50,000 to 60,000 defenders in the city, he immediately had a headache.
Currently, there are only more than 30,000 soldiers in the South Road Camp in Guangnan City. All the people from the Dragon Cavalry Battalion have been deployed to the other two roads. Apart from the soldiers in the South Road Camp, there are only a few hundred patrol battalions here.
soldiers and martial arts rebels.
There are few troops, and it is a siege battle. This battle is not easy to fight.
Hong Dali simply called several generals together to discuss countermeasures. Of course, he also invited Chi Zhongtian, but Chi Zhongtian didn't say a word from beginning to end. According to him, he knew nothing about fighting and refused to interrupt.
.
Hong Daliu and others discussed and discussed, and finally decided to use the method of besieging the city to attract the enemy in Lijiang City, and then buy time for the other two groups.
Originally, he wanted to use an encirclement strategy, but a general immediately told him that from Guangnan City to Lijiang City, only the east gate is the main road, and the rest are small roads, and few people know that a few people can go there, and thousands of troops can go there.
It won't work at all.
...
"Master, Guangnan City is already preparing to take action. Moreover, Qujing Mansion and Chuxiong City have also discovered the Chinese imperial army in the past few days."
"Well, I understand. I'll send someone to prepare quickly."
"Yes, leader!"
"etc!"
"Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"Kesi, if you go and pick some common people, you must pick some old people with children. Pick a hundred or so."
"Master, what do you mean?"
"Go ahead and do it first. You'll understand later."
"yes!"
After Kesi got the order, he immediately started to do it.
In order not to cause panic, Kesi pretended that the government wanted to provide pension funds to these elderly people. Soon, he had coaxed more than a hundred elderly people.
"General Chi, there are still twenty miles to go to Lijiang City. You can't hide those red artillery pieces!"
"Don't worry, I will use it when it's time to use it."
"That's good."
"By the way, don't you also have some bronze cannons?"
"Yes, there are twenty of them, but the bronze cannon is not powerful enough and cannot shoot far."
"Let's adapt accordingly when the time comes."
"good."
At this moment, it was just after Chen hour on the second day.
The soldiers from the Thirty Thousand South Road Camp and the Wulin Rebels were marching towards Lijiang City. Along the way, there was not even a bird chirping.
Sissoari had already received the news and was ready. Ten red-coated artillery pieces were lined up and aimed at the outside of the city. Hundreds of archers were bending their bows and arrows on the city tower. In addition, the defenders inside Lijiang City
The army has also been assembled and is ready to set off at any time.
"Leader, they should be arriving soon."
"Come on, they will come sooner or later, but if they come today, let's not let them go back." Sissoari stood on the tower and let the wind mess up his hair.
Two hours later, a dark crowd appeared outside Lijiang City.
Hong Daliu personally led the troops into battle.
"Leader, they are coming!"
"Leave the city and accept the challenge!"
"yes!"
Soon, Kesi rushed out from the city gate with ten thousand soldiers, shouting loudly, and lined up neatly in front of the city gate.
Sissoari moved a chair and sat on the tower.
"Stop the troops!"
After Hong Dali gave the order, not long after, all the soldiers stopped.
Chi Zhongtian and the Wulin Rebels were all on the right side of Hong Daliu. The Wulin Rebels carried two big flags. One was for the court, and the other had the four characters Wulin Rebels written on it.
Chi Zhongtian and Bei Lingxuan were riding at the front, and they were very excited at the moment.
Fighting and killing are no different to them than eating and sleeping.
However, participating in a war like today has never happened before.
Chi Zhongtian's sharp eyes saw Ke Si at a glance.
He Kesi is already an acquaintance.
Kesi was tall and strong, so he immediately urged the horse on his crotch and walked dozens of steps forward.
Not to be outdone, Hong Dali also urged his horse forward.
Soon, the two stopped facing each other.
"Are you here to die?" Kesi asked with a smile.
"Those who steal my territory will die." Hong Dali replied calmly.
"We didn't steal this. Your emperor gave it to us. It seems that Chinese people just don't like to tell the truth and like to regret."
"A bunch of thieves, what kind of ethics can I tell you? I've heard about what you did in southern Xinjiang for a long time. You forced the officials in Mengliang City to commit suicide, and you almost killed all the people in the city. People like you,
Don’t deserve to live.”
"They kill people because they disobey."
"Stop talking nonsense, I will tell you clearly today that I will definitely take over Lijiang City."
"Then it depends on your ability."
