Chapter 977

The eunuch Deng Qiang was better. Looking at the direction of the enemy's retreat, he said with concern, "they went to the direction of Dalu city. Did they want to abandon us and choose another way directly?"

"Can't." Gu he's deputy commander-in-chief looked surprised and shook his head hesitantly.

"It shouldn't be. If we don't fight here and go to Dalu City, we will face the danger of double attack at any time. Besides, isn't there news from the imperial court? Lieutenant Shi Heng is leading 200000 troops. If they go to Dalu City, they should be able to meet. At that time, we will attack both sides, and they won't get any benefits." Ning Wenfeng, who had never spoken, finally opened his mouth and denied Deng Qiang's concerns.

"What are they going to do there? If they withdraw, shouldn't they withdraw to the south? Do they really want to lure us out of the city?" Deng Qiang nodded like approval, but a new doubt rose at will.

"To the north, there is not only Dalu City, but also Shicheng." Ning Wenfeng's face changed slightly. When he spoke of the last two words, his face had become red. Although his possibility is the lowest, now it seems that there is only such a plausible explanation.

Ning Wenfeng's words attracted the common attention of the three people. Gu he said, "it's impossible. You said they were going to attack Shicheng. Are they crazy? Zhongdan is right there, and Shicheng has strong walls. Isn't it so easy to attack?"

"Yes." Shi Wanshan, the chief soldier, said again, "and we are still behind them. If they attack Shicheng now, aren't we afraid to stab them in the ass and cut off their retreat?"

A while ago, Yang Chendong sent someone to send grain and grass into the city. Although he didn't look at the face of Shi Wanshan, and if his estimation was good, it should be what agreement was reached between Duke Zhongdan and the emperor, but there is one thing that can't be denied, that is, he really saved nearly 200000 of their soldiers, which he wants to admit. If Wala and yilibali really want to cross their own attack on the starting city, he may also take the army to cut off the retreat of the enemy and hit them hard.

"Yes, the five-star army has helped us a lot this time. If they have something, we can't ignore it." Gu He nodded silently. It is said that the more upright a person is, the more grateful he is. Now it is well displayed on him.

"Send scouts out of the city. It's better to send someone to scare us than to discuss here. Seeing is believing." Ning Wen's head is still sober enough. In the face of the chaos he can't understand, he decided to send someone to have a look on the spot, so that he can get the most real answer.

"OK, I'll send out all the scouts." Shi Wanshan nodded tacitly, and he was also curious about what vara wanted to do.

The Allied forces of Wala and Yili Baili, with a total of 300000 troops (Jingzhou City and Shajing city left 5000 cavalry respectively, and nearly 10000 infantry were lost when attacking sanbukawa city before), calmly left under sanbukawa city and went straight to Shicheng thousands of miles away.

As early as the moment they began to act, the Scouts of the five-star army who had been mentally prepared received the news, and then fed it back to Shicheng. Yang Chendong, who was accompanying his sixth wife Luan Xiaoyu for lunch, heard Yang er's report. There was only a slight pause in his chopsticks, and then he continued to eat like nothing, with a confident smile on his face from time to time.

Luan Xiaoyu was opposite, and there was no worry on her face. Although the number of 300000 troops reported by Yang Er just now really startled her, she thought of the miracles she saw after seeing her big brother. She was convinced that her men would still create miracles this time.

Through the issue of Shicheng Yang newspaper, the news about the joint advance of 300000 troops by Wala and Yili Ali soon spread in the city.

For public opinion, Yang Chendong adopted an extremely open policy. Even at his request, Yang newspaper also has a special current affairs column for everyone to express their personal understanding and opinions on current events. It is for this reason that anyone who has lived in Shicheng for more than a year seems to be able to tell some major events of the Yang family. Over time, it has become a habit to discuss military information.

It was this foundation that had been laid long ago. After the Shicheng Yang newspaper said the amazing news the next morning, there was far less panic in the city than expected. A few people originally wanted to buy more rice for storage, but when they saw the mountains of rice piles in front of grain stores in the city, they didn't have any concerns. Only those who had farmland outside the city were worried, so they sent some representatives to the city master's house for inquiry.

Soon, the promise came out. Tian Khan said that all the losses this time will be compensated by the five-star army. They will compensate as much as they lose after the war. Yu Mian also stressed that these compensations are not taken out by Tian Khan, but need vara and Yili to repay them. The city Lord's house is just to support them in advance.

"Yes, we want vara and Yili to compensate us."

"Tian Khan is so kind to us. He also gives us fields, houses, food and hope for the future. But some people just don't like it and always want to grab benefits. That's how we fight with them."

"I've worked hard, but I don't know whether I still need people to defend the city. I'm only in my forties and still have great strength. Although I can't go to battle and kill without training, I still have no problem helping to carry fire oil and bow and arrow."

"And me. I'm not 40 years old. I can carry my shoulders and draw a bow. If I need me, I'll go up to the city building and fight with these people who should suffer thousands of duels."

"Count me in. There are five brothers in my family. Even if I don't have them, I can live without them. If necessary, we can go to the city building to help. Well, it's free. We can bring our own food."

In front of the city Lord's house, those farmers felt the loveliness of the five-star army after they got the promise. They also took out their own attitude one by one. They really had money and made strong efforts. This atmosphere soon formed a general atmosphere in the whole city, and many defenders asked for help at one time. There were nearly 500000 people in the city. Except for some children and the elderly, almost everyone else signed up, and the number reached more than 300000.

When this matter was reported to the city Lord Yu Mian, he excitedly told the news to Yang Chendong, who couldn't help laughing. "Yu Mian, see, this is the power of the people. Their thoughts are actually the simplest. Whoever treats them well will treat them well. In this way, we will have more than 300000 new troops. Isn't it much more than the enemy? What else to be afraid of?"

"Yes, yes, what the sixth young master said is very true." Yu Mian nodded excitedly.

"Before, I was worried about the lack of strength to defend the city, but with the support of the people in the city, I won't worry. Ha ha ha." Yang Chendong finally saw the strength of the people. These people did logistics work. In addition to the main force of the new army and those reserve officers and soldiers in the logistics division, as well as prisoners and recruits, he already had enough confidence to fight against any force. You know, not long ago, they just took in nearly 60000 deserters from the northern Ming Dynasty. This force alone is very huge.

That is to say, Wala's goal has been very clear. Some actions in the beginning city have no hidden meaning. The outer city gate and the inner city gate have been closed successively, making a situation of strict prevention and adherence to the outside world.

The performance of Shicheng fell into the eyes of warra scouts and cavalry outside the city. They quickly returned the news. On the way, he and Apri first learned that they were all relaxed. Although the movement of Shicheng was so rapid, some of them were surprised, but with less than 40000 troops, they wanted to block their 300000 army. I don't know whether it should be said that Tian Khan was conceited or they had no way out and just wanted to hit a stone with eggs.

First, he rode on his horse, looked at apuri and asked, "prime minister, the current situation is described in Chinese language. What should I say?"

After a meditation, aprilio gave the answer, "it should be called ignorance of time and things, or mantis can be called a cart."

"Ha ha, that's good. The prime minister is really knowledgeable. By the way, there won't be any problems with the northern Ming army. You know, our future is in their hands. There can't be any problems." he laughed first and said with worry.

"The emperor of the northern Ming Dynasty has promised that he will not repeat at will. What's more, in his eyes, we and the five-star army are their enemies. He will not intervene in such a good play of watching tigers on a mountain." arip is very confident when talking about this problem.

"That's good. Next, we'll start the city. It's said that there are mountains of gold and silver, piles of grain like snow and groups of slaves. Ha ha, I didn't expect that Khan was a good man and prepared so many good things for us." those who don't have any worries at home first look happy and expect at the same time.

......

Sanbuwakawa city.

The sent scouts and cavalry returned one by one. After confirming the fact that the gate of the city was closed and the Allied forces of warra and Yili Ali were advancing step by step, they quickly returned to the city. Shi Wanshan, the chief soldier, immediately invited two deputy chief soldiers, Gu he and Ning Wenfeng, to prepare for the attack.

"They even dared to jump over us to attack Shicheng. That's why they don't pay attention to us at all. This time, I'll give them a powerful look. General Guhe, give you 30000 troops. Once the attack and defense war of Shicheng begins, you will immediately lead troops to attack Shajing city and Wenfeng, and give you 30000 troops to attack Jingzhou City. Let's break the way first." Shi Wanshan looked angry.
