Chapter 932: Nine-Five-Zero Gambler
"Alatan Ula, you've only been with me for a while, and it seems that the calculation is still good, and you can calculate this so clearly."
Dong Ce laughed and said.
Alatan Ula didn't have an interface, just looked at Dong Ce with a calm face, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with Dong Ce still joking like this at this time.
Dong Ce had no choice but to put away the smile on his face and said, "Alatan Ula, I know that you are planning for me, then let me ask you a question, I take two points of credit or five points of credit, and the difference of three points of credit in the middle, do I need it?" Does it affect me a lot? β
"I don't know if it will affect you much." Alatan Ulla said honestly, "But I know that you fairy Ah needs credit very much. β
"Yes, that's right, I need credit, but some credit can be taken, some credit can't be taken, and some credit is taken for nothing, it's better not to take it."
Dong Ce looked at Alatan Ula Dao.
His string of words stunned Alatanula, the huge sweat scratched his head, his face showed a trace of confusion, and he said in a somewhat naΓ―ve voice: "I didn't understand what you said." β
Dong Ce said: "If I take three points of credit, I will lose the favor I gave to Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew yesterday, and the two of us will also change from brothers to enemies." That kind of favor, but we were born and died in exchange. How much is this thirty percent of the credit for defending the city worth? And you have to remember that in the Ming Dynasty, sometimes, credit is far less effective than human affection. If Cao Wenzhao can say a word for me in front of Hong Chengchou, I will monopolize the work of defending the city! β
Alatan Ulla nodded and shook her head as if she understood. Dong Ce patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Think about it yourself!" β
So he walked away with his hands behind his back.
Just when Cao Wenzhao and the others were looking outside the city, Li Zicheng was also looking towards the head of Sanshui County.
He rode his horse and stood on a small mound, with thousands of iron horsemen behind him, spreading from the top of the hill all the way back, like a black steel carpet, which made people feel a little frightened at the sight.
These men were the most elite part of his command, and the number of these cavalry amounted to about 1,600. The number of them was originally around 2,000, but in yesterday's battle, more than 100 were killed and nearly 300 were wounded.
The other soldiers were busy setting up camp, but they didn't have to do these jobs, so naturally someone did it for them.
This place north of Sanshui County is quite flat, not to mention the mountains, even the taller mounds are not common, the mound where Li Zicheng is located is about two zhang high, not high, but the problem is that the city wall of Sanshui County is not high, it is only two zhang high. Li Zicheng sat on the horse again, and this height even exceeded the height of Cao Wenzhao and others on the city wall.
Therefore, he saw the situation on the city wall relatively clearly, and he saw the two big flags on the city at a glance.
Both flags are written with the same word: Cao.
Li Zicheng knew that these two flags belonged to Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao respectively, and the two flags were already a little damaged, and they were stained with traces of war, but they were still standing, and the flags were hunting and fluttering in the wind.
And above the city, you can see the figures constantly walking back and forth, as if they are carrying something. From a distance, Li Zicheng could only see their silhouettes, and the armor they were wearing was the style and color of the Ming officers and soldiers. Sanshui County should not have so many soldiers, as a small county town, and there is no large army stationed here for a long time, it would be good to have one or two hundred soldiers guarding here. But now, there are only a thousand soldiers on the city wall.
Whether it is the two big flags or these soldiers on the head of the city, it shows that Cao Wenzhou and Cao Bianjiao are here.
Seeing this, Li Zicheng also put his mind at ease, he was still afraid that the three lost dogs yesterday would be frightened, and then continued to flee all the way south, until he couldn't catch up with him. Unexpectedly, they actually stopped in Sanshui County, and they still had the courage to be stationed here.
"Run, wow! You're running! I think you can still run? The"
Li Zicheng's face was hideous, and he muttered in a low voice: "Wait, Lao Tzu will break you into pieces one by one, to thank my brothers who died in battle!" β
He had an extra scar on the left side of his face, the wound was very new, and it looked like it was the one he had received yesterday. This is an arrow wound, yesterday when Dong Ce was about to kill, but he didn't know who turned around and shot an arrow. At that time, Li Zicheng already knew that he couldn't catch up, and in a fit of rage, he didn't have any precautions, and the arrow rushed straight towards his front door, and when he found out, it was too late to block. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly and dodged to the right, which was the only way to avoid the vital point, and the arrow also flew past his left side of the face, cutting a deep blood groove more than two inches long on his left face.
There was a lot of blood at that time.
Li Zicheng touched the left side of his face, and as soon as he touched the wound, a burst of pain suddenly came, which made Jean's face twist a little, and the expression on his face became even more hideous. As soon as I touched the wound, I thought of those damned officers and soldiers yesterday, and the hatred and anger in my heart rose even more.
He stared coldly at the city wall for a moment, then turned around and descended the hill, and then commanded in a loud voice: "Order, rest for two and a half hours, and attack the city at noon!" β
"Yes."
The surrounding soldiers responded loudly, and the heralds beat their horses and ran to deliver the order.
In fact, at this time, Li Zicheng was already a little carried away by anger and hatred.
He felt distressed by the subordinates who had died, and he was annoyed and ashamed that he had not been able to leave these Ming troops behind yesterday, and as for the wound on his face, as soon as he spoke, there would be bursts of sharp pain on his face, and the pain made him upset and irritable for a while.
So much so that when making decisions, they are so rash.
He is not this kind of person, in fact, Li Zicheng has always been very calm and calm in the past, but this time, he really can't calm down.
In fact, if he had been before, after the situation had become like this, he would have immediately led the army away and would no longer be entangled.
Because there is no good fruit to eat because of entanglement.
The invading army is not good at attacking the city, at least at this time, the invading army is not good at attacking the city. Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao's uncle and nephew know this, but in fact, Chuang Jun himself knows it.
In the past, Li Zicheng could easily judge this, but now Li Zicheng can't. Perhaps, he can actually realize this, but if he doesn't cause some casualties to the Ming army, he feels unwilling. It's like a gambler who has a red eye and must return to his roots.
