The first thousand and thirty-four chapters establish a position

The rumbling sound of horse hooves rolled up snowflakes all over the sky, and war horses began to appear outside Mengjin City. Their speed was so fast that they could see the figure of the horse knight clearly in a short while.

The dark green military uniform, the dark green cloak, the green helmet and the masked mask on the face all blocked the face of the knight. In the snowflakes all over the sky, these cavalry teams looked like demons fighting out of hell.

The bandits on the city wall felt a little soft when they saw it. One bandit in the lead shouted tremblingly, "You... why are you still standing there? Why don't you ring the bell and warn me!"

"Dangdangdangdang..."

Mengjin City was originally a very prosperous city on the bank of the Yellow River. After being occupied by bandits, almost all the gentry and officials in Mengjin City were slaughtered by Gao Yingxiang and others. As for the remaining people, except for some of them, the rest were also entangled into the bandits and forced to work for the bandits.

When the rapid bell rang over Mengjin City, all the bandits who were busy on the city walls became panic. They all put down their work, either looking around or asking the people around them, their faces full of fear and anxiety.

Shortly after the bell rang, all the originally open city gates were closed, and teams of bandits also shouted by the leaders of all sizes and big and small to climb up the city wall, and the entire city wall looked like it was facing a great enemy.

Cao Yingqiao, the commander of the cavalry battalion, was heading towards Mengjin City surrounded by dozens of personal soldiers. One of them rushed over and reported: "General, the bandits are closed to the city gate!"

"What was expected." Cao Yingmao asked: "Where are other bandits? Is there any movement?"

"Not yet. No news has been heard from the night when I went out to investigate the news."

"Order Ye Busuo will expand the scope of the investigation to one hundred miles. We are now alone and we should not let the bandits make dumplings, as that would make a joke."

"clear!"

Looking at the panic scene on the top of the city, Cao Yingmao took out his telescope and observed it for a while, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It seems that the bandits are not all fools, they all learned to show that they are weak."

After saying that, Cao Yingmao turned his head and said to the messenger beside him: "Transfer my order, and our troops will stop moving forward and gather on the spot. The fourth and fifth brigades (thousand-man teams) attacked the port from the left and right respectively. If they encounter siege or blocking, they will withdraw immediately. They will not fight in love."

"clear!"

The commander took the order and left, and soon a team of cavalry began to assemble outside Mengjin City.

On the gate tower of Mengjin City Wall, Gao Yingxiang, wearing armor and red scarf, stood in the wind, with dozens of leaders gathered beside him, and many leaders were talking to Jiangning troops outside the city. It is worth mentioning that Li Zicheng also appeared here.

Looking at the Ming army gathering outside the city, Gao Yingxiang sighed lightly and shook his head with some regret: "What a pity, those Ming army are so cautious, the things we prepared before are useless."

He Jin next to him laughed loudly, pointing at the cavalry outside the city with a heroic look, saying, "The King of Chuang is too proud of the Jiangning Army. Others say that the Jiangning Army is the most powerful army of the Ming Dynasty, and in my opinion, it is nothing more than that. I don't believe that as long as we only have tens of thousands of people rushing over, we can wipe them out in less than half an hour!"

No one around paid attention to He Jin's words, and some people even showed contempt in their eyes.

Please, the Ming army outside is full of cavalry. Even fools know how powerful the cavalry is. Only those who are stupid will give up their advantages and let the superior enemies surround themselves. He Jin said this simply to give up his courage.

The snow in the sky was still falling. Just as everyone was talking, the Ming cavalry outside the city had already assembled, and a cavalry lined up in three formations and stood quietly in place.

Three thousand cavalrymen were staring at the city walls motionless. The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the cavalry slowly turned silver. However, no one of the cavalry had moved even though the snow was heavy. Except for the occasional neighing of war horses and the white mist sprayed out from their nostrils, the whole city was silent.

Slowly, the bandit leaders on the city wall stopped talking. Looking at the three thousand cavalry outside the city who were motionless like sculptures, everyone showed horror. These bandits who claimed to be heroes of the world had never seen such a disciplined army. This time, even He Jin stopped talking and shut up his mouth.

After a long time, Gao Yingxiang sighed and turned his head to Li Zicheng who was standing at the end and said, "Zicheng, I finally understand that although He Yilong had a geographical advantage in Wild Boar Ridge, he was still defeated by the Ming army. I still have no idea of ​​his life and death."

Li Zicheng just smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.

He Jin turned his head and looked at Li Zicheng, with hatred in his eyes, and snorted softly: "I am now the leader of the same position as us, but my elder brother's life and death are unknown now, and the person surnamed Li is eager to attack his people. Doing this seems to be in line with the rules of the world, right?"

If it were Li Zicheng, who was just a small team officer a few days ago, he would naturally be a little confident when facing a leader like He Jin. However, in the past few days, he has won many defeated soldiers and refugees who have retreated from He Yilong. He has become a leader with more than 2,000 people, and he has naturally become a lot more confident in speaking.

After hearing this, Li Zicheng retorted without hesitation: "He is such a bad word from the head of He Yilong's head of the house was defeated by the Jiangning army in Wild Boar Ridge, and these days, the collapsed brothers have fled back to Mengjin City. Which of the heads of the house who are doing has never accepted these defeated soldiers? You just stare at me. Do you think I am just a soft persimmon and you can pinch it with you?"

"you……"

He Jin was speechless for a moment.

Li Zicheng was right. Which of the leaders present did not secretly accept He Yilong's defeated men? If you really want to pursue the fact that everyone present has a share. Why did he only ask Li Zicheng? It's not because he is the weakest and looks the best to bully him.

But this kind of thing can only be done behind your back. If you say it, it will be bad. The heroes of the world also need to save face.

Finally, Gao Yingxiang spoke.

"Okay, He Yilong's life and death are still uncertain. We can't ignore his troops when they are defeated. Doing this by himself does not violate the morality of the world. You don't have to worry too much about He's in charge. Our rebel army has one in charge and its strength has grown a little bit. Isn't this a good thing?"

Gao Yingxiang's words undoubtedly set the tone for Li Zicheng's affairs, and at the same time recognized Li Zicheng's identity as the head of the family, and even warned He Jin that Li Zicheng is my own person, so don't go too far.

Just when the leaders were in different moods, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from behind. A bandit hurried over and shouted: "King of Rebellion, everyone is not good. Two teams of Ming troops suddenly broke into our dock, and our people can't stop it!"
