The Mo cavalry led by Xu Huawei did not cause much damage to the wind army. On the contrary, they were completely destroyed by the wind army, including Xu Hua.
The annihilation of the Mozambican cavalry represents that Mozambican Zhenjiang has no strength to go out of the city for a war. Now, Mozambican has no reinforcements to reinforce Zhenjiang.
Under the attack of Sanshui army and Huwei army, Mo zhanning can't protect himself. Where else can he spare the strength to reinforce Zhenjiang? Most of the counties in the north of Mozambique are occupied by the wind army, and they are unable to support Zhenjiang. Now even the counties in the south are in danger with the comprehensive invasion of the an and Huan armies. Therefore, Zhenjiang has really become a real isolated city at this time. There is no foreign aid to look forward to. Whether they can stick to it depends on the garrison itself.
However, at present, there are not many defenders in Zhenjiang city. Without the cavalry corps, there are only more than 300000 troops left. The only thing that can make people feel a little relieved is the 100000 capital forbidden army. It was an elite man selected from the central army. He had strong combat power and was loyal to the state of Mo and Shaofang. Even though the current situation in the capital was so critical that even the central army had seen a large number of deserters, the forbidden army was still neat and stable, and there was no deserter.
Now it is the forbidden army in the capital that Zhenjiang can make Tang Yin worry. He asked Li Jin about this matter and hoped that Li Jin could find a way to make the forbidden army of the capital defecte. In this way, he could get rid of a big trouble for his siege.
But there is nothing Li Jin can do about it.
The chief General of the imperial guards in the capital is Lin Zhengling. Shaofang's confidant and beloved general, like Xu Hua, is a disciple of Shaofang. He is absolutely loyal to Shaofang. It's more difficult to turn him over than to ascend to heaven.
Tang Yin was also discouraged by Li Jin's remarks. It seems unlikely that he would want the forbidden army of the capital of Mozambique to defecte. He then shifted his target and retreated to the second place. He hoped that Li Jin could persuade the general of the central army of Mozambique to defecte to his own side.
Li Jin is a major general. He is familiar with the deployment of Zhenjiang. He can even tell it without thinking. At present, the leaders of the four cities in the southeast and northwest of Zhenjiang are Bai Rong, Zhou Dagui, Gao Peng and Qin Ze. Li Jin has the deepest friendship with Bai Rong. He dare not say it is a life-long friendship, but at least he is also a confidant who talks about everything.
The Li family and the Bai family are family friends. Li Jin and Bai Rong met very early. It's no exaggeration to say that they grew up together in open crotch pants. It's also an old friendship for decades.
Now Tang Yin asks him to persuade Mo Jiang to defecte. What he is most sure of is Bai Rong.
Of course, his confidence is relative to the other three generals. After all, he has defected to the wind country. Bai Rong is not sure whether he will take him as a friend and a confidant. However, after he defected to Fengguo, Tang Yin gave him the first task. He couldn't refuse it, so he had to be brave enough to agree.
That night, late at night, Li Jin went to the east city of Zhenjiang alone, dressed in civilian clothes and riding a horse.
When he was fifty steps away from the moat, he was found by the night watchmen at the head of the city. Because it was late at night and the distance was long, the soldiers could not see him clearly. Someone shouted and asked, "who is it?"
"I am the old friend of general Bai!" Li Jin quickly reined in the reins of the war horse for fear that the soldiers guarding the city would recognize his identity. He also deliberately lowered his voice. He replied: "brothers, please let general Bai out of the city and meet Ben... With me!"
"Fart! Now that the enemy has besieged the city, how can you get in if you are really an old friend of our general Bai? I think you are a masterpiece sent by the enemy, brothers, shoot an arrow -"
"Wait, wait!" Li Jin was startled and said repeatedly, "I am indeed the old friend of general Bai. If your brothers don't believe it, you can find general Bai and ask him."
At this time, the city was silent. After a long time, someone said, "what's your name?"
"I'm a monk of Chu Yao. Report to your general. Your general will know." Li Jin replied loudly. He didn't dare to give his real name. The reason why he used the title of Chu Yao lay is also with deep meaning.
There is a fake Lake in his general's house, which is very chic and beautiful. Bai Rong used to visit his house. Once he joked that his fake lake was like a heavenly yaochi, and named it Chuyao.
Now he reported the title of Chu Yao, which would not make others feel anything, but Bai Rong would guess who he was.
The soldiers are not afraid to neglect what he said. If he is really an old friend of the general, if he ignores it and is known by the general in the future, won't he be punished by the general?
A soldier shouted, "stand here and don't move. I'll report to general Bai now. If you dare to deceive us, don't blame us for being rude to you!"
With that, the soldier ran down the wall and reported to Bai Rong.
Li Jin wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and his heart also went up to his throat. He was not afraid that Bai Rong could not recognize himself. What he was afraid of was that after Bai Rong recognized himself, he didn't even give himself a chance to speak, so he directly ordered to shoot an arrow.
He is only fifty steps away from the moat and is definitely within the range of the garrison at the head of the city. Once he shoots an arrow, he will lose ten lives.
He is worried here. Let's not mention it for the moment, but Bai Rong. At present, Bai Rong lives in the barracks under the city, which is very close to the city wall.
At this time, he hasn't slept yet, and he can't sleep. Millions of troops from Feng and Yu surrounded Zhenjiang and a fierce battle is imminent. As the main general of Dongcheng, his pressure is not small. He hasn't slept a night's sleep these days.
While he was lying on his bed thinking and thinking, he suddenly heard a report from the army that there was an old man outside the city, who also claimed to be a Chu Yao resident.
Bai Rong, who was in the middle of being upset, didn't even think about it. He waved his hand carelessly and said angrily: "what kind of Chu Yao, I've never known such a person..."
The soldier who reported the news almost got angry and scolded in his heart: Damn it, it's really the work of the enemy. Just say, how can the general's old friend pass through the enemy's encirclement and hurt himself for nothing.
The soldier was about to turn around and leave when suddenly the tent curtain of the camp was lifted and only the white face of the middle coat rushed out of it.
He came to the soldier, grabbed him by the neck and shouted, "what did you say just now? What did someone call himself?"
Unexpectedly, the general suddenly had such a big reaction. The soldiers looked pale and stammered: "come... The man claimed to be... Chuyao resident... And said... He was the general's old friend..."
Chuyao? Isn't that the name I gave Li Jin's fake lake? Can it be said that the visitor is... At the thought of this, Bai Rong's eyes suddenly brightened. Li Jin, Li Jin, you have great courage. You have defected to the wind country and dare to come to find yourself.
He asked, "how many soldiers and horses does the visitor have?"
"Ah? Soldiers and horses?" The soldier was stunned by the question and paused for a long time. Fang trembled and stretched out a finger and said in a trembling voice: "report back to the general, the visitor is only a person, without a soldier..."
"Ha! Ha ha!" Bai Rong was so angry that he laughed twice.
Came alone? Is this the same Li Jin you know? Or is he so sure he won't kill him? He shook his head and said to the bodyguards on the left and right, "bring Ben Jiang's cloak!"
"The general is not yet armored." "That's not necessary."
Bai Rong, dressed in Chinese clothes, boots on the stool and wearing only a cloak, went up to the city with the soldiers who reported the news. Come to the top of the city gate, hold the arrow stack in hand, lean out and look at it. Isn't it? There is a horse standing alone 50 steps away from the city, and there are no other soldiers around. He turned his eyes, pondered for a moment, and shouted, "is this a Chu Yao resident?"
Yo! It's Bai Rong! Li Jin, who was waiting outside the city, was shocked when he heard Bai Rong's voice, but then he felt a burst of fear. Should he answer? Will Bai Rong order to kill himself?
Alas, up to now, I can only risk it! Li Jin shook his heart and braved himself. Pretending to be relaxed, he shouted back: "it's right! General Bai, I haven't seen you for many days. How are you recently?"
well! It's really Li Jin! I can't see each other's appearance clearly, but I'm obedient. It's definitely Li Jin. That's right! Bai Rong patted his head and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. He doesn't blame Li Jin for defecting to the country of the wind, but that since he has the intention of defecting, why don't he consult with himself in advance, even if it's a little mention with himself? He threw himself aside for such a big thing. He said he would do it and didn't regard himself as a friend at all! Decades of friendship is really worthless.
"Not very good! An old friend of mine left without saying goodbye recently. It's really chilling!" Bai Rong said pointedly.
Li Jin certainly knows that Bai Rong is talking about himself. He sighed in his heart and said, "general Bai, would you like to go out of town and talk to your old friends face to face?"
Bai Rong narrowed his eyes and asked, "you want to hurt me?"
Li Jin said, "I've known each other for many years. When did I harm general Bai? Besides, I'm only here alone. What's general Bai afraid of?"
That's true! The two of them are too familiar. They know their roots and the bottom. Bai Rong can't tell how capable Li Jin is. However, if he goes out of the city without permission and spreads it, he can't afford to go around, but Li Jin dares to come to find himself alone, and there must be a very important thing. Bai Rong knocked on his forehead, pondered for a while, and decided to venture out of the city. He said to the left and right, "prepare the horse!"
"General..." all the soldiers of the Mozambican army were startled. When the two armies fought, they left the city without authorization. That's a big taboo!
Understanding the concerns of the people, Bai Rong said: "outsiders from the city are my best friends and have great skills. Coming here this time is likely to be a strategy to protect the city. I must go out of the city to see him!"
