[Today's chapter is presented, please collect and subscribe!!] 】

"If Chen Huayuan doesn't send someone to ask for help, it means that the situation over there can be controlled by Chen Huayuan, and we won't send reinforcements.

Now that we are short of troops, I fear that the thieves will not only attack the northern wall tonight, but also if this is a plan of the thieves to divert the tiger from the mountain.

We sent troops to the north city gate, and the main force of the thieves attacked our south city gate again, and we will be passive. ”

After Chen Yongfu finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads in approval.

"Send an order to Liu Yuanzhen and Chen De, and ask them to gather all their forces to prevent thieves from attacking the southern city gate. The men and horses who let the rest in the city are all armored, ready to support all parties at any time. ”

Chen Yongfu asked the soldiers to pass the order.

Immediately, Chen Yongfu turned his face to look at Yang Wenyue and Ding Qirui, and said, "Inspector Ding, Lord Yang, next, you need to use your cavalry to defend the city when necessary, you have no objection." ”

At this time, Chen Yongfu felt the pressure and wanted to use the two cavalry of Lu Teng and Qi Wei to defend the city when necessary.

Yang Wenyue glanced at Ding Qirui, and when he saw that the other party nodded, he said: "No problem, I said yesterday, if necessary, I can agree to let the cavalry defend the city." ”

"That's good." Chen Yongfu received a satisfactory answer, said with a smile on his face.

It's just that at this time, Qi Wei suddenly stood up and said to Ding Qirui, Yang Wenyue and Chen Yongfu: "I'm sorry, my lords, the last general does not agree to let his cavalry go to the city wall to defend the city. ”

"What do you say! Licentious! ”

After Chen Yongfu heard Qi Wei's words, his face immediately became gloomy, he looked at Qi Wei unkindly, and said coldly.

Seeing that Chen Yongfu was angry, Qi Wei was not afraid, looked directly at Chen Yongfu, and still said very resolutely: "My cavalry, only on horses, can exert the strongest combat power.

They have never been trained to defend the city, and if they are allowed to defend the city walls, they will play a role comparable to that of ordinary soldiers, which is simply overkill and a waste of the combat power of our cavalry. ”

"You are a little partial general, how can you speak here, since even Inspector Ding and General Yang have agreed, you can keep your own opinions, and those who should obey the order obey the order."

In the face of Qi Wei's complaint, Chen Yongfu did not listen to it at all, he did not allow anyone to oppose his opinion at this time, and said coldly to Qi Wei.

At this moment, Chen Yongfu's domineering made Qi Wei instantly angry, stared at him, and said word by word: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I'll say it again."

I refuse this order, and I will never let my cavalry go up to the city walls to defend the city.

Besides, I am not your subordinate, nor is I Inspector Ding, or even General Yang's subordinate, so I don't have to obey your orders.

And it's such a stupid order, and I'm responsible for the lives of more than 2,000 of my soldiers.

We are cavalry, and we will die on the way to the charge, and not fall on the walls. ”

When he said this, Qi Wei first looked at Chen Yongfu, and then turned his gaze to Ding Qirui and Yang Wenyue, which was a clear reminder to them.

Don't forget, Lao Tzu is not your subordinate, you can use your own subordinates to compromise with Chen Yongfu, but don't take us with you.

"It's really the opposite, just a partial general, dare to question the general's order, come here, and arrest all of them to the official."

Chen Yongfu was really angry at this moment and wanted to arrest Qi Wei.

He took a fancy to the more than 2,000 cavalry under Qi Wei, and he had long wanted to control them.

This time the thieves launched a night attack, giving Chen Yongfu an excellent excuse.

Yang Wenyue's cavalry was settled, as long as Yang Wenyue gave an order, Lu Teng would not disobey the order.

But what Chen Yongfu didn't expect was that Qi Wei, a small general, had such a tough attitude and dared to disobey orders.

Since entering Kaifeng City, Qi Wei has been like Lu Teng, following behind Ding Qirui and Yang Wenyue, and has not spoken much.

Chen Yongfu has always mistakenly thought that Qi Wei, like Lu Teng, is Yang Wenyue's general.

As long as Ding Qirui and Yang Wenyue are settled, these two cavalry will be counted, and the city defense force in his hands will be stronger.

But now, Chen Yongfu listened to the meaning of Qi Wei's words just now, it seemed that he was not Yang Wenyue's subordinate, and even resolutely stated that he would not agree to let the cavalry go to the city wall to defend the city.

This seriously interfered with Chen Yongfu's plan, and even damaged Chen Yongfu's authority in Kaifeng at this time, how could Chen Yongfu spare Qi Wei.

The more critical the moment, the more Chen Yongfu had to ensure his authority in the city, and his orders must be carried out by anyone.

I didn't see that Ding Qirui, as a supervisor, has a bigger official position than Chen Yongfu, and now he is not presiding over affairs in Kaifeng City, so Chen Yongfu has the final say.

Now that Qi Wei dared to disobey the order, Chen Yongfu immediately ordered the guards in the palace to arrest him.

Chen Yongfu thought about it, caught Qi Wei, and then sent someone to command the cavalry under him, wouldn't it.

However, Chen Yongfu was wrong this time, how could Qi Wei be willing to be captured, besides, the cavalry of the Feiyu Battalion could not be controlled by sending a general at random.

Whoa!

As a result, with Chen Yongfu's order, two teams of soldiers immediately rushed in from outside the palace, holding spears, and surrounded Qi Wei and the two guards he carried.

"Mr. Chen, what are you doing here?"

Seeing that Chen Yongfu was going to let the soldiers arrest Qi Wei, Yang Wenyue couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to stop him.

"Lord Yang, this person dares to openly disobey the order and disobey the arrangement of the official, you must know that the official is now fully responsible for the defense of Kaifeng.

Also, whether this person is your subordinate or not, if it is your subordinate, then today this official will sell Lord Yang a face, and this person will be handed over to Lord Yang to dispose of himself.

If this person is not Lord Yang's subordinate, then Lord Yang will leave this matter alone, and this person will be arrested. ”

Chen Yongfu saw Yang Wenyue come forward to stop him, and also gave Yang Wenyue a little face, and said.

"This ......" Chen Yongfu's words made Yang Wenyue a little difficult to answer, because Qi Wei was really not his subordinate.

Yang Wenyue couldn't help but look at Ding Qirui on the other side and asked Ding Qirui for help.

"Okay, Mr. Chen, now that the thieves are attacking outside the city, we can't mess up the battle by ourselves now.

Since General Qi Wei does not agree to let the cavalry go to the city wall to guard, let's listen to what he thinks and brainstorm ideas, all in order to hold Kaifeng. ”

Ding Qirui didn't want to see them have internal strife first, so he stood up and made peace at this time and said.

"Hmph, then listen to him, he has any good strategy against the enemy, and if he can't say it, then honestly obey the orders of his own officer."

Chen Yongfu saw that Ding Qirui had come out, so he couldn't help but give Ding Qirui face, snorted coldly and waved his hand, signaled the Ming soldiers who rushed in, temporarily retreated, looked at Qi Wei unkindly, and said.

Until this time, Qi Wei still did not change his face, and he did not feel afraid in the face of Chen Yongfu wanting to arrest him.

Just this calm and calm appearance made Ding Qirui and Yang Wenyue next to him appreciate Qi Wei even more.

In fact, at this time, how could Qi Wei not be nervous!

He was also worried that if he was really detained by Chen Yongfu and threatened with his life, it would be bad if he forced the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion to go to the city wall to give him his life.

Therefore, when Chen Yongfu's corporal rushed in just now and wanted to arrest him, Qi Wei quietly gestured to a crony next to him.

The meaning of that gesture was to ask him to give arrows to the soldiers of the Feiyu Battalion stationed in a military camp in Kaifeng City at this time, and inform them to kill Kaifeng City.

Qi Wei's cronies always carry a few arrows in their arms, just to keep in touch with the soldiers of the Flying Feather Battalion.

One of the arrows, which emits three high-pitched whistling sounds, rises into the sky and then explodes, is the most urgent order of the Flying Feather Battalion.

Once they received this warrant, it meant that Qi Wei had been killed.

The deputy general in the Feiyu battalion will immediately take over Qi Wei's command, and they will rush out of Kaifeng as soon as possible to find Li Zixiao to converge.

If Yang Wenyue hadn't stood up in time, Qi Wei's cronies would have already taken out this order arrow and released it.

At that time, Chen Yongfu would be desperate to find that there was an extra 'fellow cavalry' in their city that did not obey their orders at all.

At that time, the cavalry of the Feiyu Battalion would even regard the Ming army as an enemy, but if the Ming army dared to stop them, they would also kill them.

That is equivalent to making a strong and elite 'enemy army' in the city in disguise, and joining forces with Li Zicheng's army outside the city.

At that time, it was estimated that Kaifeng City would really not be able to keep it.

What Chen Yongfu didn't know was that he had just walked around in front of the ghost gate.

"Then the general will be blunt."

At this time, Qi Wei did not have any fear, and directly stood up and told his opinion: "I think that since it is a cavalry, we must give full play to the advantages of cavalry."

Our Flying Feather Battalion can completely kill out of the city and kill the enemy by surprise.

In this case, the invading army would never have expected that we would dare to send cavalry to counterattack them, which would have a surprising effect.

I still say the same thing, rather than letting the cavalry give up their superiority and go to the city wall to defend the city.

The last general hoped that General Chen could open the city gate and let the general lead people out to kill the thieves by surprise. ”

"That's your way! Open the city gates, let your cavalry go out, and kill the thieves by surprise, I really don't know if you are ignorant or arrogant!

Do you know how many thieves there are outside the city? With your mere 2,000 cavalry, how many thieves can you kill? ”

After Chen Yongfu heard Qi Wei's words, he couldn't help but sneer and said.

"Hehe, my general said that there is no fortress in this world that cannot be attacked, blindly defending, will only be passively beaten, and offense is the best defense.

I have to say, General Chen, your command ability is a world of difference compared to my generals. ”

Now that the two sides have torn their faces, Qi Wei was also unceremoniously sneering at Chen Yongfu.

"You ......, presumptuous! Who the hell is your general? Chen Yongfu shouted angrily.

"General Chen, listen well, my general has defeated the thieves, fought a fierce battle against Jiannu, led the troops to attack outside the pass, entered the Jiannu Shengjing City, and captured the Jiangbei patrol envoy of the Tartar Imperial Concubine, Zhenguo General Li Zixiao!"

Qi Wei said sonorously.

"Zhenguo General Li Zixiao, are you his subordinate?"

After Chen Yongfu heard Qi Wei say Li Zixiao's name, he was also shocked, obviously a little jealous.

The main thing is that Li Zixiao's name has spread in Daming recently, and it is like a day.

Especially last year, there were rumors that Li Zixiao led his troops to kill outside the pass, rescued more than 100,000 people, killed tens of thousands of Tartars, and even entered Shengjing City.

So far, people are still sent to occupy Jinzhou, and these achievements alone are enough to make it difficult for people to catch up, and the White Snake Army's ability to fight well is also famous all over the country.

Originally, this time, Chen Yongfu also counted on Li Zixiao to lead troops to rescue Kaifeng, after all, Jiangbei is not far from Kaifeng.

But for some reason, among the several rescue troops assigned by the saint, there was no Li Zixiao's men, which made Chen Yongfu very helpless.

Now that Qi Wei mentioned Li Zixiao's name, Chen Yongfu was a little jealous, but it was just jealousy.

"Old Chen, dissipate your anger."

At this time, Gao Mingheng, the prefect of Kaifeng, walked up to Chen Yongfu and whispered a few words to him.

Gao Mingheng's words were very simple, that is, to tell Chen Yongfu that he must not kill Qi Wei, otherwise it would be equivalent to Li Zixiao's revenge.

If that's the case, even if they repel the thieves in the end of this battle, they will face Li Zixiao's pursuit after the war.

Moreover, it is rumored that Li Zixiao is well-known for protecting his shortcomings, if Li Zixiao's soldiers are really attracted to Kaifeng City, then the situation will not be controllable.

After listening to Gao Mingheng's words, Chen Yongfu's face was cloudy.

But he knew that Gao Mingheng was right, Qi Wei couldn't be killed this time, but he was still uncomfortable in his heart, and the Qi Wei in front of him clearly would not listen to his orders and go to the city wall to defend the city.

"Report, Lord Qiqi General Soldier, General Chen of Beicheng sent someone to ask for help." At this time, a guard rushed in and reported.

"What about the people sent?"

Soon, a young soldier was brought in.

Chen Yongfu looked at him and asked, "How is the situation at the North City Gate now?" How many thieves came? Can you kill the city walls? ”

"Returning to the commander-in-chief, the thieves attacked our north city gate, but fortunately we found it in time, and when he came down, General Chen had already led his brothers to resist the thieves on the city wall.

The thieves have not been able to kill the city wall for the time being, but General Chen said that the number of thieves in this night attack is too large, and the preliminary judgment will not be less than eight or nine thousand.

General Chen thinks that so many thieves and soldiers can withstand the attack at night, and they can withstand it for a while, but I am afraid it will be difficult to withstand it all the time, so they let the lowly post come to ask for help.

I also ask the chief soldier to send a reinforcement to return to the north gate with his humble duties to resist the thieves, and we must not let the thieves enter the city. ”

The Ming soldier who came back from the North City Gate reported carefully to Chen Yongfu.

"It's good that the thieves didn't come in, Chen Huayuan did a good job."

Chen Yongfu was also relieved when he heard that the thief did not come in.

At this time, Chen Yongfu's eyes glanced at Qi Wei, and a sinister thought popped up in his mind.

"Anyway, Qi Wei, the cavalry under Li Zixiao, is not controlled by Lao Tzu, and it will be in Lao Tzu's way to continue to stay here.

Didn't you go up to the city wall to defend the city and want to fight out of the city, then Lao Tzu will fulfill you this time. ”
