"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zeng Ying's eyes wandered, he glanced at King Hanyang curiously, and he hurriedly responded.
"Your waist knife!"
After receiving the delivery from the soldier, Zeng Ying turned around and followed him away.
It's just that this soldier is so strong.
"I'm Chen Dong, and Tian will be the commander of the personal camp."
Chen Dong said enthusiastically: "The general who has joined our army can be said to be a wise man. We, the King of Hanyang, love our soldiers as much as our own sons. We never withhold pay and receive many rewards..."
Enduring the buzzing in his ears, Li Dingguo couldn't help but look around.
Although Fengjie City is small, it is even more tightly guarded than before, with constant patrols and defenses. The defenses and offensives have also been raised to a very high level, so it must be even more hidden.
"This Zhu Yixi is really cautious."
When they arrived outside the city, they led Qianqi to a camp. Simple tents and everything had been arranged, and even food, grass and baggage were being delivered one after another.
You can even see some meat and wine.
"Such a considerate move, no wonder they gathered so many troops!"
The more Li Dingguo looked at him, the more he felt that Zhu Yixi was not someone to be underestimated.
"You guys rest here for the night, and I'll find a good place for you tomorrow."
Chen Dong smiled and said: "If you don't have enough wine and meat, tell me and I will help you order some more."
"That's enough, that's enough!" Li Dingguo hurriedly thanked you and said, "I'm really sorry to trouble you. You are in charge of the personal barracks and live in the city, right?"
"Only the private barracks can stay in the city!" Chen Dong said nonchalantly: "Fengjie City is too small. After all, we are private soldiers."
"By the way, don't walk around at will at night. People patrolling, not even me, can disturb you..."
After thanking him a few more times, Chen Dong left. He couldn't help but sigh: "This guy is much more polite than ordinary people."
Li Dingguo looked at the camp, thoughtfully.
"General, what's going on? What did you find out?"
The subordinates asked hurriedly.
"The city of Fengjie is compact and tight, surrounded by military camps outside the city. The people are not strong but the soldiers are above average. This battle is not easy to fight."
Li Dingguo said in a deep voice: "Get a rough idea of what's true and what's true. Let the brothers prepare to leave in the middle of the night. If you stay any longer, there will be flaws."
"As you command!"
Sure enough, in the evening, more than 10,000 troops gathered around and closely monitored the situation.
"I knew there was no way I would be unprepared."
Li Dingguo sighed, and immediately arranged for the brothers to rest and relax their vigilance.
Immediately, in the early morning, when the black and white were handed over, Li Dingguo immediately led the cavalry and charged away, quickly breaking through the encirclement, speeding like lightning.
In the end, less than a hundred riders left.
Fengjie City was greatly frightened and angry.
"What? There are ten thousand of you, but you can't stand Qian Qi?"
Zhu Yixi's expression was serious: "This cavalry is a formidable enemy."
"Sure enough, he is not Zeng Ying."
At this time, Sun Changzhou suddenly said:
"Although the witness will not arrive until tomorrow, we can guess that it is not Zeng Ying."
"The city of Chongqing is in danger. Zeng Ying did not go to support us, but instead came to us to ask for food."
"Moreover, when we met today, he didn't mention the safety of Chongqing, let alone ask His Highness to quickly dispatch reinforcements. This is very abnormal."
When Li Jizu heard this, he was furious: "This boy dares to deceive us. Who is he? I will cut him into pieces."
"No matter who he is, he can be considered capable if he can escape the siege we set up."
Zhu Yixi said sternly: "He is bold and he is so young. Although he has taken some risks, he is still a good general. I will definitely capture him in the future."
It's not Zeng Ying, it's either the Western bandits, or it's the Ming army from elsewhere. Anyway, they can't escape his grasp.
"Have all the food and grass arrived?"
Thinking about it, Zhu Yixi couldn't help but ask.
"It will take another two days." Zhu Mou said softly from the side.
The generals were shocked, for the day when the food and grass arrived, it was time to fight.
On June 12, 50,000 stones of grain and grass arrived from Jingzhou, and they arrived at Fengjie after a lot of hardships. The troops were delighted.
This is the food of the month.
Zhu Yixi left a few people to guard, and took the remaining 40,000 people to set off for Wanxian County.
The only people who can enjoy the boat ride are the firearms battalions, French cannons, and squatting tiger cannons. People and horses cannot pull them.
"Report, Wan County is ahead. It seems to have been occupied by the Western Bandits. There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which are as good as ours."
Scout report.
"Western thieves?" Zhu Yixi smiled and said indifferently: "Which kind of western thieves are they, so overestimating their own abilities?"
"We caught the tongue, and after questioning, we found out that he was the adopted son of Zhang Xianzhong, and was led by Zhang Dingguo."
Zhu Yixi's expression condensed.
The generals have different expressions.
Bai Wang hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, when I was following Li Zicheng, I heard about Zhang Dingguo. He captured Xiangyang City with twenty-four horses. Yang Sichang was forced to commit suicide, and the Western bandits started to rise."
"What a courageous Zhang Dingguo!"
Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice, he immediately thought that the person who teased him a while ago might be this person, no wonder he looks exactly like him.
Twenty-four riders dared to capture Xiangyang. No wonder they dared to go deep into Fengjie to spy on the military situation.
"Even if Zhang Xianzhong comes in person, I have to make him kneel down."
Zhu Yixi had already heard about Li Dingguo, who became a famous king twice, but now that he saw his courage in person, he became even more interested.
Wouldn't it be nice to train a famous general and let him mature as soon as possible?
“Set up camp!”
Zhu Yixi ordered: "Beware of their attack on the camp tonight, there will be a big battle tomorrow."
"As you command!" The generals agreed loudly.
Tens of thousands of troops, more than ten miles away from the military camp under Wanxian City, camped safely and repaired overnight.
Li Dingguo looked up from a high position, looking at the well-organized Ming army, and couldn't help but sigh.
"General, this Ming army looks very different from before."
The deputy general frowned and whispered.
"Of course!" Li Dingguo sighed lightly: "The previous Ming armies were either a ragtag group of people who were wary of each other. They didn't have much strength in the first place, but instead they were attriting each other."
"The Ming army in front of us is the Qin army from Sun Chuanting. The generals are united, well prepared, and trained for a long time. But our great enemy, this battle is not that easy to fight."
Speaking of this, Li Dingguo even became a little excited. He met his opponent in chess. How long had it been since he met his opponent?
"Then shall we still attack at night?"
The deputy general asked hurriedly.
"Why don't you go?"
Li Dingguo looked at the densely packed military tents in the distance and chuckled: "What I looked at before was all superficial. I still need to really understand it. Night raids are the best way to test the depth."
Immediately, in the middle of the night, Li Dingguo personally led the cavalry to explore the power of the Qin army again.
With horses' hooves wrapped in cloth and bits in their mouths, thousands of cavalry quietly left the military camp.
"Damn it, they actually dug a trench!"
Looking at the trench that was ten feet long and full of spikes, Li Dingguo cursed secretly, then walked around to look for its weak points.
As a result, within a quarter of an hour, they were discovered and the police whistle was blown.
