Qi Guangyi led the cavalry to a halt in front of a deserted village. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since they left Yunzhou, they have been searching for victims in Jizhou and guiding them to Yunzhou, Qingzhou and other places.
These days, they have achieved good results and guided many victims.
It was already noon, and Qi Guangyi was going to let the soldiers rest and feed the horses at the same time.
At this moment, a hussar galloped from a distance, and said with an urgent expression: "Captain, we have found a large number of chaotic troops ten miles away, and they seem to be heading towards Yunzhou City again. ”
Qi Guangyi took out the steamed buns from the bag on horseback and prepared to eat, he immediately stuffed the steamed buns back and shouted to the soldiers: "All assemble, follow me." ”
After that, Qi Guangyi followed the hussars to Guting Village, ten miles away.
On the map, there is only one such village ten miles away.
The cavalry immediately gathered, and the reason why Niu Ben handed over so many cavalry to him was that he was afraid that they would encounter a chaotic army.
And now he doesn't care about it, at this time the Qingzhou army has gone to Jizhou, if Yunzhou City is besieged by the chaotic army, the Qingzhou army will lose the supply line.
These hungry rebels don't care whose transport line it is.
The soldiers quickly mounted their horses and followed Qi Guangyi towards Guting Village.
After arriving at Guting Village, Qi Guangyi and the soldiers were suddenly silent, and on the official road leading to Yunzhou City, the dense chaotic army was slowly moving.
The ranks of the rebellious army have no end in sight from south to north, and the vastness makes people's scalps tingle.
"Captain, look, that's the banner of the Green Dragon King." A soldier said.
Picking up the binoculars, Qi Guangyi looked over, and sure enough, the marching team was full of the banners of the Green Dragon King, in front of the team were people with various weapons, and behind the team were people with bags and wheelbarrows.
It's just that there is very little grain and grass on the car.
"There must be three or four hundred thousand people." A general's mouth was full of worry, "Yunzhou City is not Cangzhou City, the city wall is only five meters, and the defenders are no more than 10,000 people, what can I do?" ”
Qi Guangyi's brows tightened, "Immediately send someone to inform His Highness and the Governor, so many chaotic people are too dangerous, this Green Dragon King is holding the people into self-respect, no one knows what he thinks, if he is a loyal and righteous person, he can still persuade these people to lay down their weapons and join our Highness, if this Blue Dragon King wolf is ambitious, it will be dangerous." ”
The rest of the generals nodded.
Qi Guangyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Now we will immediately withdraw to Yunzhou City in case of accidents." ”
With that, he turned his horse's head and headed towards Yunzhou City from another official road.
A day later, the news reached the Governor's Palace.
Hearing this news shocked Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang.
"Your Highness, if 300,000 rebel troops besiege Yunzhou City, Niu Dudu's supply line will be in danger, and we must ensure that Yunzhou is safe and sound."
Xiao Ming is also aware of the seriousness of the problem.
For this Qinglong King, not only King Yong, no one understands his character, but he only knows that this Qinglong King led the chaotic army to conquer several cities, and opened the granary in the city to relieve the victims.
And because of this feat, more and more people in Jizhou have joined the command of the Qinglong King, and now it is said that the Qinglong King's subordinates are five or six hundred thousand.
"This king understands, but no one knows what the idea of the Green Dragon King is, if the old trick of the Green Dragon King is repeated, what should I do if the city that is ready to conquer the fiefdom opens a warehouse and releases grain?"
Zhan Xingchang said coldly: "If the Qinglong King has bad intentions, they are thieves, when His Royal Highness sent troops to resist the barbarians, this Qinglong King waved Yunzhou City, this is not a chaotic minister and a thief!" ”
Xiao Ming nodded, if this Qinglong King disregarded the national righteousness and only wanted his own health and wealth, he would not have to show mercy to his subordinates.
In this month's time, the military workshop delivered another 3,000 flintlock muskets, and he said to Zhan Xingchang: "Yunzhou City is very important, time is not waiting, tomorrow we will lead 3,000 musketeers to Yunzhou City." ”
Although the 3,000 muskets had just been delivered, the soldiers in the Qingzhou battalion had only been training for about a week.
But these soldiers are all elites who have participated in the Battle of Cangzhou, not pure recruits.
The next day, he and Zhan Xingchang personally led the troops to Yunzhou City.
Because it was an infantry trek, they arrived at Yunzhou City three days later, and according to Qi Guangyi's news, the people of the Blue Dragon King were about to go outside the city.
Arriving at Yunzhou City, Xiao Ming immediately checked the local garrison, there were 6,000 Yunzhou soldiers, Qi Guangyi's cavalry 5,000, plus his own 3,000 musketeers were 14,000.
Among them, Qi Guangyi's cavalry and his own musketeers are elite, and the combat power of the six thousand Yunzhou soldiers is not weak, so he feels a little at ease.
"It's just that this wall is a little shorter."
Looking at the Yunzhou city wall, which was only five meters high, Xiao Ming frowned, Yunzhou City is just a small city, but now this small city is now the lifeblood of logistics and supplies.
At this time, it was already evening, and the news came and went more and more frequently, and every time the news came back, the rebel army arrived immediately.
Just when the sun was only showing a trace of afterglow on the horizon, Xiao Ming saw the overwhelming people.
These people stretched to the end of the horizon, looking down like a marching ant army from above.
Such a huge lineup immediately made the defenders at the head of the city feel a heavy pressure.
Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang glanced at each other, and there was a lot of worry in their eyes.
The people stopped ten meters outside the city of Yunzhou, and the wide official road outside the city was covered with people with various weapons, and these people stared at the defenders at the head of the city with indifferent expressions.
"Master Jun, open the door, didn't you say that Yunzhou City gathered the people? We are all the people of Jizhou, hungry to death, and want to go into the city to eat. ”
A tall man took a few steps forward to see the young man on his shoulder, and a loud and hoarse voice sounded.
"It's okay to enter the city, but you must lay down your weapons and enter the city in batches."
Qi Guangyi replied loudly.
"Master Jun, the weapon in our hands is to fight corrupt officials and corrupt officials, what are you so afraid of? Don't say more, let's open the door, these hundreds of thousands of people are counting on eating in the city tonight. ”
The young man sniffled, his eyes sharpened.
Qi Guangyi frowned coldly, they were all people who had directly fought with the barbarians, how could they be afraid of a bunch of chaotic people.
He was about to speak, when Xiao Ming suddenly said aloud: "Where is the Green Dragon King, can you let him talk to this king before the battle." ”
"This king? Who are you? The young man asked.
"It is Xiao Ming, the king of Qi." Xiao Ming's voice was bright, all the people below were the people of the Great Yu Kingdom, and he didn't want to kill each other unless he had to.
"King Qi!" The young man looked stunned.
