Zhao Cheng, Yuan Yun and others were waiting in the courtyard outside the lobby. After Yuan Fei jumped down, Zhao Cheng immediately asked questions.
Unlike when they faced Miao Shaohua at the Third Pier, Zhao Cheng and others also seemed a little nervous.
It's not that Zhao Cheng is pretending to Miao Shaohua, but he must have a relaxed attitude when facing outsiders, but everyone knows that Qi Bainian is the head of a county after all, and his counterattack,
It has to be taken seriously.
It would be foolish to underestimate the enemy at this time.
After all, this is not Yanchuan City.
Yuan Fei said: "Six groups of people have gathered outside the city, totaling 3,000 people. There are still three groups of people on the road."
Zhao Cheng asked: "Approximately when will we arrive."
Yuan Fei said: "Zi Shi at the latest."
"What's going on over there with Qi Bainian?"
"I have never come out of the Sheriff's Mansion, but I saw some people who entered the Sheriff's Mansion but did not come out."
"That's his trump card."
Zhao Cheng thought for a moment, glanced at the people around him, and said, "What do you think Qi Bainian wants to do?"
Everyone was thinking, but Huang Hua said firmly: "The eldest princess is involved in this matter. The defenders of Jiangcheng no longer listen to his command. Qi Bainian knows it well and can guess that the eldest princess will gather troops around Jiangcheng. Even if he
No matter how solid his foundation is, he doesn't dare to fight us head-on, because he knows there is no chance of winning. So I guess he will run away."
Zhao Cheng nodded and said, "Where to run?"
Huang Hua didn't even think about it and said flatly: "In Jiangcheng, if Qi Bainian doesn't want to be a pirate, he will have no choice but to go to Southern Zhou Dynasty."
Zhao Cheng said: "So he will run to the south gate?"
Huang Hua shook his head and said: "This is not something I can judge."
Xu An interjected: "It's useless for him to run wherever he goes. Our people have gathered together, more than 6,000 people, divided into four groups to guard each city gate, and he can't escape."
Zhao Cheng said: "That's not what you said. I don't believe that Qi Bainian only has one master, Qian Lang. If there are several first-class masters who risk their lives to break through, we will be very difficult."
Saying that, Zhao Cheng looked at Yuan Yun.
Yuan Yun thought for a while and said: "What the young marquis said is not unreasonable. We must arrange for people to ambush at every city gate, otherwise it will be unrealistic to chase after him. So I think we can only rely on the large number of people."
advantage, and divide the troops with him."
"I understand." Zhao Cheng nodded and said, "But I have my own ideas."
Hearing this, everyone stared at Zhao Cheng eagerly.
Zhao Cheng said: "I just guessed that Qi Bainian would not run to the South City Gate, although this road is closest to Nanzhou. I think he would go to the East City Gate."
Xu An asked: "East City Gate? Take the waterway?"
Zhao Cheng said confidently: "He has been the governor of Jiangyang County for many years, and it is his regular job to clear out the pirates. But because of this, he must be involved with the pirates. Who can guarantee that there is no one with him among the pirates?"
Close?"
This is the experience Zhao Cheng learned from the history of his previous life. When the Ming Dynasty dealt with the Japanese pirates in his previous life, among the main forces on the coast who dealt with the Japanese pirates, which one was not familiar with the big bosses among the Japanese pirates?
Zhao Cheng affirmed: "Taking the water route and going south along Jinghai to Nanzhou is really the fastest way for him."
"I agree." Yuan Yun made the final decision and said: "So I suggest that we still send people to ambush at the four city gates, but only strengthen the manpower at the east city gate."
Zhao Cheng glanced at everyone and asked, "Do you have any objections?"
Everyone nodded and said nothing.
"Okay." Zhao Cheng put his eyes on He Lao San's face and said: "Lao San, you guard the north gate."
He Laosan cupped his fists and said, "Yes!"
"Yu Jin, you guard the west gate."
"yes."
"Do you want more money? If you want more money, say it now. Don't talk about money later in the fight."
Yu Jin said seriously: "Being a corrupt official doesn't cost you money!"
"Zhao Yan."
"exist!"
"You guard the south gate."
"Oh..." Zhao Yan was a little unhappy.
"Zhao Wu, Heng Wenhao, you two guard the east gate."
"yes!!"
"Brother!" Zhao Yan interrupted: "I want to guard the east gate!"
Zhao Cheng frowned and said: "Third brother, this is not at home, don't mess around."
Zhao Yan argued: "You promised me, Gan Lang asked me to clean up!"
When Zhao Cheng was about to speak, Yuan Yun said: "A Cheng, the third brother has competed with A Tao at home. Don't underestimate him."
No need to ask more, Zhao Cheng understood what Yuan Yun meant, thought for a moment, looked at Zhao Yan, and said seriously: "If Qi Bainian really goes to the east city gate, are you sure you can stop him?"
Zhao Yan knelt down on one knee and said sternly: "I can issue a military order!"
Zhao Cheng sneered and said: "Who did you learn this from? You still have to issue a military order! I am not marching to fight, I am just arresting someone."
"This is marching and fighting! Brother, don't forget that you are the victorious general!"
Hearing this, Zhao Cheng was stunned. The identity of this general was something he often ignored.
Zhao Cheng took a breath and said: "Okay! Switch with Heng Wenhao. You and Zhao Wu will guard the east gate, and Heng Wenhao will guard the south gate."
"Yes!" Zhao Yan suddenly beamed.
Zhao Cheng added: "Heng Wenhao, the probability of Qi Bainian running to the south gate is not low, so you can't relax either."
Heng Wenhao cupped his fists and said, "If he dares to come, I will let him die."
Zhao Cheng waved his hand and said boldly: "In that case, let's fight as hard as we can. Killing Qi Bainian a hundred times is not an exaggeration!"
"yes!!!"
…
When you are ugly.
When the first torch light shined from the manhole cover of the street one mile east of the Sheriff's Mansion, it was followed by a continuous light.
The people in front move slowly, waiting for the people behind.
After a while, more than 300 people had gathered.
It was already late at night, and the torches almost illuminated this area of Jiangcheng, but everyone's steps were light and cautious.
Qian Lang and Qi Bainian were in the middle of the team and said: "Everyone is coming up, let's rush to the east gate at one go."
Qi Bainian said: "There is no rush, we will slow down for the time being and divide 60 people into three teams to break out of the encirclement at the North Gate, West Gate and South Gate respectively."
Qian Lang said in shock: "Then these brothers will not be able to come back."
Qi Bainian said seriously: "There must be sacrifices."
"Forget it, I'll do it." Qi Bainian pushed Qian Lang away, took a look around, and said, "I need sixty people to go to the North Gate, West Gate, and South Gate to pretend to attack. Frankly speaking, these brothers are big There is no return in probability, but it can give the remaining brothers a greater chance. Is anyone willing to go?"
Hearing this, three hundred people all knelt down.
"I want to go!!!"
Qi Bainian glanced at Qian Lang, took the lead and walked towards the east street, saying: "You make arrangements, hurry up and follow."
Qian Lang said in a hoarse voice: "Yes..."
"Toward Glory!!"
Qi Bainian raised his arms and shouted: "Follow me, leave this place of right and wrong, and I will lead you to glory!!!"
