Hai Lanzhu had a smile on her lips. She somewhat understood Tie Mo's thoughts. She wanted to use this meal to get closer to these people, and then rely on the influence of these people to disintegrate the strength of the Maitreya Sect and the Jin Chan Sect. After drinking enough
After the meal was full, Tie Mo asked someone to remove the plates, and showed a kind smile to Luo Tong and others, "You don't have to be afraid, I am not a man-eating tiger. As long as you don't do anything extraordinary, I guarantee that you will be safe."
It's okay. But there are some things I still want to make clear. I can't blame the governor for what happened in Cenbo Town. Speaking more carefully, why do you have to fight to the death for Gao Yingxiang's ambition? Even if you win, what can you do?
How much benefit will you get? You don’t really think that Wusheng Old Mother can give you wealth for all generations, do you?”
Naturally, Luo Tong and others would not believe Tie Mo's words because they were half true and half false. However, because they were half true and half false, they had no choice but to believe them. Many of his words were cruel facts. They joined the Maitreya Sect and the Golden Chan Sect, but they could not believe it.
It’s not because of the Inanimate Old Mother. If you really believe in this thing, you are not a fool? The so-called Inanimate Old Mother is just something that deceives people. Luo Tong and others are mostly from good backgrounds. They joined the Maitreya Sect and the Golden Chan Sect for different reasons.
, but generally speaking, seeing the rise of troubled times, it is profitable to follow the Maitreya Sect and the Golden Chan Sect.
Luo Tong was silent, and he was calculating the profit and loss. No one knows what will happen in the future, but at least for now, establishing a good relationship with the Northern Shanxi Army is the best choice. After a series of battles, Luo Tong has been deeply aware of
Realizing that the Northern Shanxi Army was powerful, near Yichuan City, it was not the full strength of the Northern Shanxi Army at all. They only used the strength of two large battalions.
"Superintendent, as you said, it will not be good for us to continue fighting like this. The common people are also peace-loving. Our Luo family has been doing business for generations. Our favorite thing is wine and we hate bloody killings. However, we cannot represent everyone.
People, so everything has to be discussed with the elders." Luo Tong spoke very tactfully. It seemed that he said a lot, but in fact he didn't express his position at all. Tie Mo was not angry, and he didn't expect to convince these people in just a few words.
He believed that as long as the benefits were sufficient, these people would definitely break away from the Maitreya Sect and the Golden Chan Sect.
Nodding gently, Tie Mo said with a smile, "I will not force you to do anything, I just hope you can think about it carefully. As long as we cooperate, there will be many benefits. But there is an ugly thing to say before. If in the future
If some of you dare to follow Gao Yingxiang and cause trouble, don't blame me for being rude."
Tie Mo himself was very brave, and when he showed his momentum, there was an invisible pressure in the hall. His eyes swept across, and Luo Tong and others couldn't help but shudder. Luo Tong and others were filled with shock. Could it be true?
Can he go home alive? Gradually, he felt that what Tie Mo said was true, because there was no need to lie, and there was no need to doubt Tie Mo's determination. If they met on the battlefield in the future, they would never be merciful again. Luo Tong thought
Thinking, he stood up slowly and bowed deeply, "Supervisor, Luo will definitely do his best to facilitate this matter. No matter what other people choose, Luo will withdraw from the battlefield with his servants."
Tie Mo looked at Luo Tong silently. This young man was very extraordinary. He spoke loudly and had an indescribable sophistication. Maybe he really made the right move. If he could disintegrate the Golden Chan Sect and the Maitreya Sect from within,
, that is definitely a good thing for me. The remnants of the White Lotus Sect, such as the Maitreya Sect and the Jin Chan Sect, are different from Gao Yingxiang and the bandits. Not all the remnants of the White Lotus Sect are refugees. The upper class are more wealthy businessmen with ulterior motives. These people
It can definitely be won over with benefits.
To deal with the Maitreya Sect, you can't use swords and guns directly like you do with ordinary bandits. Those people are hidden among the people, so you can't just kill people randomly with swords and guns. So, to a certain extent, the remnants of the White Lotus Sect are better than those of Gao Yingxiang.
It gives me more headaches.
Two days passed quickly. The Yichuan City garrison released the prisoners as promised. The day after these people left, the entire huge plan began. The situation that had been silent for half a month once again entered a tense atmosphere.
On the seventh day of January, the First Military Camp stationed outside Yichuan City was ordered to move closer to Xi'an. The actions of the First Military Camp greatly stimulated Gao Yingxiang's sensitive nerves.
Since half a month ago, Gao Yingxiang mobilized troops from the rear. Now Shangzhou has gathered nearly 50,000 troops. Such a large number of troops are to prepare for the attack on Xi'an. If the first military camp is allowed to enter Xi'an, the rogue bandits will
His troops would not have much advantage. If he wanted to conquer Xi'an, wouldn't it be a fool's errand? It can be said that he was forced by the situation. In desperation, Gao Yingxiang began to implement the plan to attack Xi'an without all the baggage.
Niu Jinxing, Li Zicheng, Lu Weiliang and others all felt that the attack on Xi'an was a bit hasty at this time, but they also knew Gao Yingxiang's helplessness. They couldn't just watch the First Military Camp enter Xi'an City, right? Lu Weiliang listened to Gao Yingxiang's introduction to the action plan.
After hearing his mission, he couldn't help but frowned, "King Chuang, why do you want our troops to be stationed at the Ryazan River? In order to capture the city of Xi'an, we should attack with all our strength."
"A few days ago, Yichuan City mobilized some troops from Xi'an City to supplement the outer defense line of Yichuan City. Now there are less than 20,000 troops in Xi'an City. With our current strength, it is not a problem to storm Xi'an. The reason why I let you stay in Ryazan River,
It is to guard against the cavalry in Yichuan City. The cavalry in Yichuan City cannot sit idly by and ignore the situation in Xi'an. In order to contain our troops, they are likely to directly attack Shangzhou City, threaten our baggage line, and attack us in Xi'an City.
"Bring back the troops and horses." Gao Yingxiang simply said a few words, and Lu Weiliang understood the necessity. It can be said that the Ryazan River is the guarantee for Xi'an's army. As long as the Ryazan River army can block the cavalry of Yichuan City, others can feel confident and bold.
To deal with the Xi'an garrison and the First Military Camp that came for reinforcements. Lu Wei wondered in his conscience what kind of kindness Gao Yingxiang had today, and he actually handed over such an important task to himself.
In fact, Gao Yingxiang has now been divided into two groups. Li Zicheng is his own group, and Gao Yingxiang's headquarters is one. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it, but the matter is not stated openly. Now Gao Yingxiang has given such an important task to Lu Weiliang
, rather than one of his direct relatives, which is really a bit surprising.
As the action plan was laid out, the army of tens of thousands of rogue bandits took action quickly like clockwork. Lu Weiliang's troops were the first to take action. Tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry coalition troops headed towards the Ryazan River. The remaining people except for those who stayed in Shangzhou
Thousands of soldiers and horses, the rest of the people all headed towards the city of Xi'an. In November, the wind was howling, and it was as cold as a knife. If they were not forced to do anything, who would be willing to toil in the winter.
Under the urging of Gao Yingxiang and others, tens of thousands of rogue soldiers marched hard in the raging cold wind. What Gao Yingxiang didn't know was that the first military camp had already set up camp to avoid the cold wind. The two generals found a village and the entire army
Stationed on the spot, waiting for the cold wind to subside before continuing to march. The bandits were impatient, but they were not impatient. Anyway, they had never thought about entering Xi'an City. Everything was just a pretense. Inside Xi'an City, Chen Qiyu had a solemn expression. He naturally
I hope that the Northern Shanxi Army can divide its troops to garrison Xi'an City, but it is really impossible to order the other side.
With no choice, Chen Qiyu could only send an official document to the capital, requesting reinforcements from the imperial court. At this point, he could not care less about his face. If something went wrong in the city of Xi'an, Chen Qiyu would be the most unlucky.
On the other side, Orger looked at his generals with a stern expression. The order from the base camp had been issued. The garrison in the city must not only use the city defense to kill the bandit army to the greatest extent, but also find a way to safely evacuate. This task is too difficult to resist.
There is no problem with the rogue bandits' attack, but it is not easy to evacuate Xi'an safely without the help of other large armies. This time the rogue bandits have assembled a heavy army and are bound to win Xi'an, so they cannot give them too many chances.
"Everyone has heard the order from the base camp. We must not only resist the attack of the rogue bandits on our own, but also find a way to withdraw. Before the rogue bandits come, let's talk about our own methods." Such an arduous task, O
Erge couldn't think of any good solution. The only thing he could pray for now was that it wouldn't snow in the next two days. Once it snowed, he would be trapped and die in the city. Several generals looked solemn and exchanged words in low voices.
, Sieg said with some distress, "It's no problem to defeat the bandits, but it's really not easy for us to evacuate safely. After thinking about it, the general only has one chance. When the first military camp approaches Xi'an City, it will definitely be
It will cause strong psychological pressure on the rogues. We know that the First Military Camp is not coming for Xi'an, but the rogues don't know. If we plan carefully and make the rogues believe that the First Military Camp is determined to enter the city to help, then
The rogue bandits will definitely divide their forces to attack the first military camp. At this time, there will definitely be loopholes in the camp outside the city, and we can work together and take advantage of this opportunity to rush out."
As soon as Siege finished speaking, Huang Jue, who was sitting next to Liu Guoneng, shook his head, "This is really inappropriate. Once we take the opportunity to break out, the army that went to stop the first military camp will immediately find out and turn around.
It blocked us directly. This plan is very inappropriate and we need to be cautious."
Huang Jue has been polite enough. Sieg's method is not only inappropriate, it is full of loopholes. If Sieg's method is really used, many brothers will die.
Sieg was very displeased, but couldn't refute, so he could only say gloomily, "This won't work, that won't work either. You should tell me what to do. You can't stay here forever, right?"
Ziege originally wanted to make things difficult for Huang Jue, but he never thought that Huang Jue actually had some ideas. He slowly said, "General Liu, General Orger, actually, we have a plan at the end that we can try. When the rogues attack the city, we will
Try to ensure that the opponent's military uniforms and armor are intact, and then look for opportunities to fish in troubled waters. As long as we mess up the rogue bandits, we have a greater chance of rushing out."
How to find opportunities? You have to act according to the situation. After thinking about it, it seems that only Huang Jue's method is the most reliable. There is not much time left for Orger and others to prepare. After only three days, the strong wind outside was weak.
Gao Yingxiang led tens of thousands of rogue soldiers under his command to appear near Xi'an. It was obviously unrealistic for more than 30,000 troops to rush to Xi'an City. After some discussion, Gao Yingxiang divided his troops into three parts. The first group
Five thousand people set up an ambush in the west to prevent the city's defenders from escaping around the city. The other group surrounded Xi'an, and the last group was stationed in the east to resist the rushing first military camp. Looking at the towering city wall in front of them, the rogue bandits all felt an inexplicable pressure.
, I am afraid that a strong attack on Xi'an will not end well. Gao Yingxiang frowned, and for a moment he did not know how to deal with the situation in front of him. Before he came, he did not expect that the city of Xi'an was so easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The battlements are mainly made of bluestone, and depending on the situation, they have been raised a lot. The troops in the city have not been idle during this time. After the reinforcement, the city wall is about four feet high. There are shooting holes everywhere behind the battlements. The siege prepared before
Most of the equipment was prepared based on three feet. Most of them are not used now, so they can only seize the time to modify them. The suppression of bows and arrows on the city top is also a big problem. After observing for a long time, Gao Yingxiang decided not to attack the city for the time being. "Zheng Guosong,
You lead the troops to garrison in Lantian Mountain to the east. As soon as the people from the First Military Camp arrive, they will ambush them on the spot. You must not let them join the Xi'an garrison."
Zheng Guosong's eyes changed, and he asked with some confusion, "King Chuang, aren't we going to attack the city today?" Zheng Guosong didn't want to delay for too long. People from the first military camp could arrive at any time, and time was against the rogue bandits.
That's everything.
"We can't attack the city today. You can take a closer look at the situation on the city. There is thick smoke and fire. The enemy troops are hiding behind the battlements. They probably prepared a lot of logs, kerosene and arrows. Our ladder is only three feet long.
A little more, and the city cannot be reached. In this case, a strong attack will definitely be fruitless. It is better not to cause unnecessary casualties. As long as Lantian Mountain is defended, the city of Xi'an will not be able to escape." Gao Yingxiang handed the telescope to Zheng Guosong, and Zheng Guosong said to
The telescope is no stranger. Through the telescope, the scene at the top of the city can be seen at a glance. Zheng Guosong's expression slowly became serious. As Gao Yingxiang said, there were not many guards at the top of the city. They were all huddled behind the battlements, as if to guard the city.
I am very confident. One thing is that both Gao Yingxiang and Zheng Guosong were wrong. What was burning on the city was not kerosene but boiling water.
After receiving Gao Yingxiang's order, the bandits slowly retreated and camped five miles outside the city. They were afraid of being raided in the middle of the night, so they simply moved the camp farther away. Orger did not expect that the bandits would be so cautious. Through the telescope, they only saw
I can see vague shadows. Damn it. Is it too cautious to camp so far away? I have prepared so many things to defend the city, but they are all useless. Hong Chengchou's face darkened and he clenched his fists.
He punched out violently, but hit the air, "Are these bandits scared out of their wits? They actually evacuated on their own initiative. What about the things we prepared? How about moving them back?"
Chen Qiyu smoothed the messy hair on his forehead. He didn't know when it was stained with water vapor. At this time, it had turned into ice slag. Looking at the ice slag in his hand, he suddenly came up with an idea, "lower the temperature of the water, pour it all on the city wall, and let
People carry water up there, preferably cold water. Hey, I didn't expect the weather to be so cold this year. We will freeze the city wall into an ice wall tonight."
