This surprised the people in the room! It turned out that they defeated Kong Youde in Shahe. After Li Jiucheng defeated him, he did not plan to go to Laizhou at all, but set up camp on the spot. It was so convenient to clean the battlefield and rest. Zhu Dadian originally planned to go to Laizhou again tomorrow. It was estimated that Kong Youde and other rebels would retreat that night, so they did not rush to inform Laizhou.

I originally thought that even if I knew that Kong Youde had withdrawn his troops, he might not dare to open the city, but I didn't expect that the Laizhou prefect in Laizhou City actually brought people out of the city! It seemed that Kong Youde had indeed taken people away overnight.

When the Laizhou prefect came, no one else felt anything, but the civil servants present were very impressed! They felt that this Laizhou prefect was a brave one! Although the rebels retreated, perhaps there were scattered people staying there, and the prefect would be in trouble if they bumped into it!

Zhu Dadian himself is a civil servant, so he naturally takes good care of the courageous civil servants. He immediately said, "Please come in immediately!"

A moment later, the personal soldiers brought two people in. The first one was Liu Pei's father-in-law Wang Changde. Qi Qitao was followed behind him.

Wang Changde looked okay, but his face was pale and he lost a lot of weight. But he was in good spirits. Qi Qitao behind him was different! Not to mention his black and thinness, his neck and arms were obviously covered with gauze. There were many scratches on his body and face. It seemed that he had fought hard!

Before Zhu Dadian could speak, Liu Pei hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage to Wang Changde. After the salute, Wang Changde looked at Liu Pei up and down. Seeing that Liu Pei had nothing to do, he kept saying: "Okay! OK! It's fine!"

Wang Changde knew that Liu Pei was thinking about Qi Qitao, so he took a step and gave Qi Qitao out. Liu Pei stepped forward and touched the wounds and said, "Nothing is it big, right?"

Qi Qitao laughed in a low voice and said, "It's all hit by the stones blown by artillery, it's okay!"

The scene in front of him shocked the people in the room! Because no one expected that the governor would greet him before he spoke, and Liu Pei also called the Laizhou prefect's father-in-law!

At this time, Liu Pei and Wang Changde also knew that this was not the time to greet each other. Wang Changde patted Liu Pei's arm and signaled him to return to the shift. Then Wang Changde took Qi Qitao to officially meet Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian.

OK

After the ceremony, Zhu Dadian asked, "It turns out that Lord Wang and General Liu Shen are relationships with their father-in-law and son-in-law! This is rare! I didn't expect that both your father-in-law and son-in-law are so great, both literary and military!"

Gao Qiqian also nodded and said, "It's true! As a military officer, General Liu Shen is naturally no problem to conquer the city and territories! But he didn't expect that as a civil servant, Lord Wang actually guarded the city without any storm! It seems that your father-in-law and son-in-law have become a beautiful story in Shandong!"

Wang Changde hurriedly bowed and said, "Eunuch Gao's words make the officials ashamed! The officials who guard the city know nothing. The city can be protected by the emperor's blessing, and the soldiers use their lives!

Zhu Dadian also nodded and said, "So that's it! Seeing that the person behind you is quite majestic, I think he is from a warrior, so why don't he wear official uniforms?"

Wang Changde said: "The name behind me is Qi Qitao, who is a fellow villager of my son-in-law. He is from the reign of the Wei Institute. It is up to him to defend this city!"

After saying that, Wang Changde talked about the story of defending the city. Although Wang Changde received the news from Liu Pei in advance and made a lot of preparations, it was definitely not enough to prepare in secret after all. But it was better than not preparing.

In advance, the two thousand people gathered in the countryside were indeed of great use! Moreover, Wang Changde was very smart and selected some people in every surrounding village. Before the rebels arrived, he spread the people out, so that the villagers could escape, and those who could not escape were quickly entered the city. He also took this opportunity to collect a batch of food in the countryside.

Wang Changde was just ready, and then the rebels besieged the city! The rebels took advantage of the momentum and planned to capture Laizhou City in one go.

The rebels thought that the soldiers in the mainland were like mud, and said that Laizhou City could be taken down in one go! But they did not expect that because of their insufficient preparation, they did not take down Laizhou City for more than ten days of continuous attack! Instead, they gave the city a chance to train troops! The soldiers guarding the city were trained from panic to calm and sophisticated! In this way, they defeated the first difficult moment!

But I don’t know why, it may be that Wang Changde took over as the prefect of Laizhou, and Liu Pei’s series of actions affected the changes in history. The military officers guarding the city suffered many casualties and injuries!

Originally, the rebels had never reached the city wall in normal history. As a result, under the command of Li Jiucheng, the rebels rushed to the city wall several times! At this time, the soldiers led by Qi Qitao played a decisive role!

You should know that in the early stages of the siege, the soldiers guarding the city not only did not have the skills to fight, but also had no courage to fight. The military officers had to take the lead in rushing up, and the losses were very large! As a result, there were several rebels who almost gained a foothold on the city wall! It was Qi Qitao who led the people to attack them!

After Qi Qitao entered the city, he was prepared under the care of Wang Changde. In the end, Wang Changde used it as the general reserve team and the firefighting team. However, it did work miraculously! In this way, when the military officers in the city were almost killed or injured, Wang Changde had to order Qi Qitao to serve as the garrison and be responsible for unified command of the defense of the whole city. Although some people were not satisfied, no one stood up to take the risk at this time

Later, the rebels continued to attack Laizhou, so they had to adopt the method of siege and carry out small-scale offensive activities. Under the organization of Qi Qitao, he used artillery on the top of the city to continuously bombard the rebels, and selected and maintained the firearms in the arsenal in the city to supply them to the top of the city.

Fighting against the rebels who rushed to the city, the soldiers defending the city were obviously no match! Qi Qitao didn't want his subordinates to suffer too many casualties. He had to use firearms, and the effect was good!

During the siege, the rebels tried their best to attack the city. Not only did they mobilize a large number of artillery, but they even thought about the way to attack the city. Unfortunately, Wang Changde sent people to clear the moat before, and the groundwater in the local area was relatively shallow. The tunnel dug by the rebels drowned more than 300 people because of the water-permeable landslide, and no one dared to dig the tunnel again. So he came to Laizhou City until now!

And not long ago, Zhu Dadian sent Xiaozhu to the city and informed Wang Changde that reinforcements were coming soon. After that, Wang Changde and Qi Qitao observed the activities outside the city very carefully.
Chapter completed!
