Chapter 336 Misjudgment
"General Li!" Qian Jimin, the left guard of Wanquan, hurriedly bowed to Li Zicheng.
"No need to be polite!" Li Zicheng, who had always been taciturn, made a polite statement, and stopped talking, but instead looked at the Zuo Aicheng carefully.
The Wanquan Left Guard is sixty miles west of Xuanfu City and forty miles south of Wanquan Right Guard. It is located on the south bank of Yanghe River. It is the main road of the Yanghe River Valley and is the gateway to the west of Xuanfu.
Originally, Li Zicheng and Song Xiance thought so before, who would have thought that until he entered the Left Acropolis himself, he realized that the facts and imagination were exactly the same.
Why do you think?
It turns out that although this Wanquan Zuo Cang City is more than a miles away, it seems quite large, but in fact the city walls are low, the city walls are dilapidated, and the defensive facilities have been disrepaired for half a year.
This huge Left Crusade is even sparsely populated, with nine out of ten rooms empty.
Except for the garrison Qian Jimin and his three or five hundred soldiers, not many people were walking around, which almost made people feel like a "ghost city".
"What's going on in this Zuowei City?" Li Zicheng observed for a while and couldn't help but ask.
"General!" Although Li Zicheng asked without any questions, it did not prevent Qian Jimin from understanding his questions.
"There were more than 700 residents and 556 soldiers in this Left Acropolis City."
"It was because of Chongzhen... in the seventh year of Chongzhen, the Tartars invaded, and the city was vast and the people were sparse, and they could not defend, so they were trapped by the enemy."
"After being burned and killed by the Tartars, many people died and many officers and soldiers were injured, so that the city became more and more empty."
"This...it's almost two years gone by. How can I not attract the people and repair the city walls?" Li Zichengyi's home border was empathetic to the suffering of the Tartars' invasion and couldn't help but ask.
"Repair? What to do? Now I can't even pay the food and salary, and I'm still thinking about building the city?" Qian Jimin smiled bitterly, "Otherwise, everyone wouldn't have taken the initiative to surrender to King Shun."
OK, at this moment, Li Zicheng felt a little sympathetic to Zhang Shun.
How could you be the "King Shun"? You have adopted a lot of godsons!
As the leader of a rebel army, he was quite touched by finding ways to "raise his godson" all day long.
After all, I have become someone else's "godson" myself, and finally I can't help but worry about these bad things.
Thinking of this, Li Zicheng couldn't help but comfort him and said, "It's okay, when King Shun comes, everything will be fine."
"Hope!" Qian Jimin shook his head, looked back at the three or four hundred soldiers behind him who were like beggars, and responded calmly.
Li Zicheng saw that he didn't believe it, so he wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start.
After a while of silence, he finally had to change his words and asked, "What is the situation in Wanquan's Right Guard and Zhangjiakou Fort? I wonder if it is still like the Left Guard?"
"Wanquan City has 30 steps around the six-mile and three feet high. It is located between the two rivers and has two gates in the north and south, which looks like a sedan chair, so it is also known as a sedan chair city." Qian Jimin shook his head and said when he heard this.
"This city 'backed on the long wall, faced with foreign water, left to live in danger of me, and right to embrace the solidity of clouds', so it is said: "
"The city has a general, a commander, a guard, a member of the garrison, and a member of the 1000th battalion. It has five generals under the jurisdiction of Zhangjiakou, kitchen, Xinkaikou, Xinhekou and Ximalin. It has about 5,000 soldiers under the jurisdiction of Zhangjiakou, kitchen, Xinkaikou, Xinhekou and Ximalin."
"Oh? I know!" Li Zicheng pondered for a moment before he waved Qian Jimin back and said, "General Qian Gan, go and do it, I will take care of it myself."
Qian Jimin originally wanted to make some autumn wind, but when he saw Li Zicheng said nothing, he had to leave in disappointment.
When Qian Jimin left, Fatty Zhang couldn't help asking: "'Chuang General', what should we do?"
"Ergewanquan's right guard is a little difficult to play, so let's start from another place." Li Zicheng said expressionlessly, "If he takes down other castles, I think he can't sit still!"
"Hey, don't tell me, this is really a solution!" Fatty Zhang, who was worried, was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but take a reassurance.
The two of them had a short rest in the Left Acropolis City, and then the troops were divided into two groups.
All the way was led by Li Zicheng and headed straight to Wanquan Right Guard; all the way was led by Zhang Fatty, to Ximalin, Xinhekou and Xinkaikou Sanbao.
Not to mention Fatty Zhang, let’s talk about Li Zicheng’s leadership of the horse army, and it took only more than an hour to reach Wanquan Right Acropolis.
Wanquan City was already on high alert, and the General Wanquan Right Guard of Shangxi Road couldn't help but stand on the top of the city and shouted: "Rebellious officials and traitors, occupy our city. If you have the courage, just attack!"
Li Zicheng scolded him, but after pondering for a while, he responded clumsyly: "Don't say nonsense, let's see the truth under his hands!"
The general was delighted when he heard this and quickly ordered the guards to command the garrison, the Qianzheng and the camp officers and the others to guard the various places, and beware of the rebel army's attack on the city.
But everyone worked hard for a while and finally took a breath, but when they looked out, they saw that the rebel army was as stable as Mount Tai and resting just outside the city.
The general of the gang couldn't help but say angrily: "What a thief, but he is a treacherous one. Didn't he agree to attack the city, why not attack?"
"Ah? Who said we didn't attack the city?" Li Zicheng responded in surprise when he heard this, then looked up at the falling sun and explained.
"By the way, our people will attack Ximalin, Xinhekou and Xinkaikou for the forts, and wait until the forts are gone, and then we will attack Wanquancheng."
"You dare!" The general was shocked when he heard this, and all the soldiers under his command were even more ashamed.
Why do you think?
It turns out that after the Wanquan Right Guard General of Shangxi Road, he will lead to a siege of the rebel army after the rise of the army.
Therefore, he took the lead in transferring Ximalin, Xinhekou, Xinkaikou, and Zhangjiakou and a group of defenders to strengthen Wanquancheng's defense.
But he never expected that this time the rebel army not only had more people, but more were the horse army.
As a result, a battalion of horses appeared to watch Wanquancheng and another battalion of horses attacked other castles one by one.
"This...it's over!" Everyone in the city looked at me, and I looked at you and you suddenly felt cold.
"No...it doesn't matter. As long as we can hold on until the chaos in Xuanfu City and until the elite soldiers of the Qing Dynasty arrive, there is still hope for everything..." The general of the gang couldn't help but cheer up.
"Still hold on? I don't think I can hold on!" One of the generals smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"Since 'King Shun' can send so many people to attack us, I'm afraid Xuanfu City has stabilized its form."
As soon as this person said this, everyone's faces looked like earth.
"Why...why do we go out of the city to fight him and make a fuss?" Just as everyone was frowning, the guard couldn't help but come up with his ideas.
"If it doesn't work, we might as well not want Zhangjiakou and go directly to the Qing Dynasty!"
"Hey, what's this?" Everyone said this, and couldn't help but tighten their swords and guns and smiled bitterly.
"If you take someone's hands short, you won't do anything to eat them!" The general of the ginseng smiled bitterly, and he felt no secret.
Why do you think?
It turned out that in this Ming army guard station, the generals, guard commanders, garrisons and other low-level officers were in-laws and mixed in line.
As trade and trade, Wanquan Youwei and Zhangjiakou Fort are the most prosperous and most complex areas in the entire border.
Others eat meat and drink soup. Over the years, these people have made a lot of profits from it.
However, whether this profit-making situation can be maintained is their most concerned issue.
As a result, I was so happy that I could not die. News just came from the "Eight Great Masters" who had the most trade authority in Biankou.
The "Fan Family" was uprooted in Jiexiu's hometown, but instead, the four new families of Wang, Hou, Ji and Liang have been voted for "Shunter".
When the original system could not be maintained, the people who were originally inclined to surrender to the "Qing Dynasty" were even more dissatisfied with the "Subsistence Thieves" when they heard this.
As the saying goes: I always see new people laughing, but how can I hear old people cry?
Since "Shunzi" has new "merchants" under their command, where can they live?
Therefore, this is the act of inciting "rebellion" while taking advantage of the unstable foothold of "following the thief".
But who had thought that war was not a joke.
