On the other side, Pattern Dragon ran for several miles with more than 2,300 riders, then turned his horse's head and headed towards Langya King's City.
"General, are we going to defect to Third Aunt Li Wenhao?" asked a general nearby.
"That's right!" Pattern Dragon nodded, with a somewhat complicated look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "I know everything and am not afraid of the eldest son's revenge, but you are different, you all have family members in Huaibei County.
You have all heard what General Langya said just now. Now that Third Uncle Li Wenhao has been granted the title of Marquis, he is no longer the ordinary general he was before. He has the ability to protect your family.
Even if [Guchengdushu.com] the eldest son wants revenge in the future, the Marquis of Huaibei will not agree to it."
"Yes, our Third Young Master is now the Marquis. No matter how arrogant that boy Xuan Mochen is, there is nothing we can do about him!"
"And the third young lady is now the Marquis's wife. Our general used to be the third young lady's captain of the bodyguard, so she will definitely be reused."
"Hey, you don't know. I just heard that General Langya said that the third uncle has been granted the title of Marquis. I was completely stupid. I thought there was something wrong with my ears!"
"Haha, me too. When the third young lady got married, I felt worthless for her. Now that I think about it, it's like pie in the sky and I picked up a rich husband for nothing.
I just don’t know if the eldest lady will vomit three liters of blood if she finds out!"
"Hahaha...Absolutely!"
When the generals learned that they were going to seek refuge with Li Wenhao, they felt relieved and no longer worried about the comfort of their families, and they all started shouting excitedly.
Even ordinary soldiers became happy when they got the news, and the atmosphere of the entire team changed.
"Remember it all, don't talk nonsense when you get to the Fire Crow Army!" Hua Wenlong warned with a smile, and the slight frown showed that he was not as relaxed as he appeared on the surface.
His current behavior, leading troops to rebel against the Huaibei Army, is no different from rebellion. Would Li Wenhao offend the Marquis of Huaibei in order to take in a rebel general?
Hua Wenlong didn't know, but for the sake of the families of his soldiers, he had to give it a try.
There were Fire Crow Army sentries all around Langya King City. Patterned Dragon and his party were quickly discovered, and a group of sentries blocked their way.
"I am Qianhu Pattern Dragon of the Huaibei Army. I was forced to leave the Huaibei Army with my brothers and defect to Marquis Langya. I also have important military information to report!
King Yucha kidnapped Xuan Mochen and threatened the Huaibei army to attack the royal city!"
"You guys wait here!" This group of sentinels were Cao Shengfei's men. After receiving the report, Cao Shengfei did not dare to be careless and immediately sent someone to deliver a message to the royal city and personally brought thousands of cavalry.
……………
"Patterned Dragon, I know this person!"
When Li Wenhao received the report from the sentry, he was at the Royal City Artisan Camp checking the progress of the Black Iron Cannon.
There are ten black iron cannons in a row on the ground, four rows in total, forty in total. The black iron cannons are still steaming, shining with a dazzling metallic light in the sun.
The craftsman camp in Langya King City covers an area of more than 300 acres. Although it is not as big as the underground cave in Daha City, the level of craftsmen and equipment are much better, and the speed of building black iron cannons is also much faster.
"Master Marquis, Hua Wenheng is a talented general. In the battle of Huangtugang, if he had not captured Huangtugang first, the remnants of Li Wenheng's army would have been wiped out on the same day!" Zhebie commented from the side.
Heroes cherish each other, and he feels that Pattern Dragon is very similar to him, the type of people who have unrecognized talents.
"The talent is there, but it would be unpleasant to spread the word about a general who has betrayed his master!" Li Wenhao nodded in approval at first, but then hesitated.
He didn't know the specific reason why Pattern Dragon rebelled. In this era, loyalty was important, and accepting a traitor rashly would have a bad impact.
"Master Hou, do you care about other people's opinions?" Zhebie refused to give up.
"Oh, that's right. How can I, Li Wenhao, care about other people's opinions?" Li Wenhao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then burst out laughing.
"Pass on my general's order to establish the Houqi Battalion, appoint Hua Wenlong as the commander of the Houqi Battalion, lead his troops to Tuke City, and put them under the control of the garrison general Wu Bai, focusing on supervising the movements of the rebels in Kunshan."
"Follow the order!" the sentry clasped his fists and left.
"The Marquis has a broad mind that is hard to compare with. I will always admire you!" Zhebie was taken aback and bowed deeply.
He thought it would be good to take him in, but he didn't expect that Li Wenhao would be so generous and give such a high treatment to a traitor general, and directly seal the commander of an army. It would be difficult for ordinary people to do this.
"I have always been very thirsty for talents!" Li Wenhao smiled proudly, but in fact he still had reservations.
What he was given was just a title of commander, and Pattern Dragon still led his own troops, and they were sent to Tuke City, far away from the battlefield of the royal city.
Even if there is any accident, it will not affect the battle situation. Wu Bai is cautious, so he is relieved.
As for taking in the patterned dragon, he had never thought about whether the Marquis of Huaibei would have any objections.
"Zhebie, my former personal soldier Qianhu Li Rong has gone to the New Fourth Battalion to be the commander. You will temporarily assume the position of personal soldier Qianhu."
"General, take the order!" Zhebie bowed to take the order. For some reason, he now had a good impression of Li Wenhao and got closer to him unconsciously.
"As long as you are willing!" Li Wenhao also felt the change in Zhebie and was in a good mood.
"Let's go, follow me to the north gate. Yucha's army should be arriving soon!"
Master Gu Yazi was so busy that he didn't say a few words at all. He had already made arrangements to make arrows with explosives for Zhebie.
Li Wenhao put away the black iron cannon, looked around to see if nothing happened, and took Zhebie to the north gate.
It was already midnight in the afternoon, and everyone knew that the Yucha army was about to arrive. Although after the military parade, the people had a lot of information about the Fire Crow Army's defense of the royal city.
However, the tense atmosphere of the coming war still enveloped the whole city. There were fewer pedestrians on the streets and many shops were closed. Soldiers on patrol could be seen everywhere, as well as oxcarts transporting city defense supplies back and forth.
"Zhe Farewell, do you have confidence in us to defend the royal city and defeat Yucha?" Li Wenhao was riding on a war horse, his expression became solemn due to external influences.
He currently has a lot of soldiers, but they are all new recruits. Except for the cavalry, which is mainly horse bandits, and has good combat capabilities, the infantry is all supported by system bonuses.
If it weren't for the legionnaires who would never rebel, and the blood-burning and violent tyranny of the legionary combat technicians, the New Third Battalion might have collapsed in the face of the slave master's counterattack during the siege.
The current situation is still that among the infantry, the only ones that can fight are the Langya surrender troops, especially the death camp.
Li Wenhao was speechless at the situation in front of him. He thought that if Lai Yucha knew about it, he would definitely vomit blood.
"Master Marquis, we will definitely win. I know Yucha. He is talented, but he has a high self-esteem and is mean and ungrateful. The Langya army is not as loyal to him as Lao Wang."
"Okay, after we clean up the fish, we can have a good fight!" Li Wenhao laughed, feeling surging with pride in his heart.
After eliminating Yucha and occupying the entire territory of Langya, the system can open the famous general training function and the Wanjie Conquest page. His strength will surely make a qualitative leap!
Especially the Ten Thousand Worlds Conquest page made him feel extremely itchy.
The North Gate was defended by the New Third Battalion. After Hato took office, he had been busy at the top of the city. When he saw Li Wenhao entering, he hurried over to salute.
"Master Marquis, Yucha's army has arrived and is camping ten miles outside the city!"
"Okay, I saw it, here's it for you!" Li Wenhao took out three military telescopes, used one for himself, handed one to Hato, and one to Zhebie.
"Master Marquis, I saw that other commanders had them, and I have been greedy for a long time!" Hato took it happily and looked out of the city.
"Master Marquis, I don't need it!" Zhebie pushed with one hand, his eyes narrowed proudly, and two silver lights emerged from his eyes. He was so handsome.
"Haha, it's amazing to have eagle eye skills!" Li Wenhao handed the telescope to a Qianhu next to him, feeling a little sad.
The Langya Army's camp is ten miles away. Even if he is a fifth-level strongman, he can only vaguely see three black figures on the plain terrain. The Langya Army is divided into three camps.
Half an hour later, the trombone sounded, and the Langya troops who had set up camp swarmed out like running water, dividing into three groups and attacking the west, north, and east gates of the royal city!
