The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 291 Poking the Hornet's Nest

After saying this, Bian Ze shook his head, but before he could speak, someone came to report: "Military Master, something happened, Sheng Gong asked you to go over quickly."

"Well, let's go right away, I'm going to trouble General Bian here." Xi Maijun said to Bian Ze, seeing the urgent look of the person who communicated over there, it should be a big deal, and he didn't dare to delay.

Xi Maijun hurried out, and said as he walked, "What's wrong?"

"The Li family village cheated and surrounded the team of the undisciplined monks. Now they are about to be unable to hold on. I heard that someone in the team sent a signal to the people in the village." The soldier who sent the message said briefly.

"..." After hearing the last sentence, Xi Maijun stood there, looking at the person who notified him, and then at the camp here, blinking his eyes suspiciously.

"It's absolutely impossible...impossible." Xi Maijun shook his head and rushed towards the big tent, but these two sentences are impossible, if there is no doubt in his heart, it is also impossible.

Walking out of the tent, the murderer Zheng Xiuzheng led a group of soldiers roaring out from the camp gate. The beacon smoke rose in the distance, and the setting sun was fading away. On the same ordinary battlefield, the rebel army was in a state of destruction as usual, and it felt like they were slightly tripped by something. one time.

With hoarse shouts and smoky beacons, the battle at Langya Ridge seemed to climb to a fierce climax in this afternoon, which no one expected.

The situation on the battlefield was chaotic, and Xi Maijun hurried to the big tent, only to realize that Li Lei had ordered several leaders to rescue him.Running away, the momentum is huge.

After asking for a while, I found out that not long ago, Li Tianying deliberately pretended to be defeated to lure the Bujie monk, and several teams from the surrounding Lijiazhuang used the familiar terrain to lure several rebel teams away. The most advantageous forces encircled them.

Li Biao led people to block the road, and there were more than forty crossbows shooting in turn in the middle. On the winding mountain road of Langya Ridge, this kind of crossbow appeared suddenly, and it was the most advantageous. It was already prepared.

After Li Gui and the others got the news, they went to rescue them, and they were already on the road.

Before the situation here was finished, new news came over again. Lang Cheng was determined to stop Li Gui and others on the road. It was to buy time for thousands of people to encircle the unruly monk and he had already been caught. And the more than [-] people under his command were transferred to Lijiazhuang at this time.

In this kind of battle, people have to be arrested and transferred. Even if Li Jiazhuang took advantage, the loss would be huge. For a few days, they never dared to fight to the death, but at this time when arresting people like this, Xi Maijun frowned, knowing that something was wrong .

This change came quickly. In normal times, even if Monk Hua was caught, at least from Xi Maijun's point of view, it was a common occurrence.

But all these oddities since this afternoon add up, and something seems to be on the horizon.Xi Maijun didn't believe that there was anything else that could shake the situation of the battle, but all kinds of theories he heard in the afternoon surfaced in his mind. In addition, at this time, someone reported the incident of the monk's siege, no matter what was done there, it was impossible for things to work so quickly.

But if the other party didn't go to the doctor in a hurry and was dazzled, but was doing something in an orderly manner, the situation might not be the same. The possibility of something began to stir up the dangerous line in Xi Maijun's mind.

"A scholar who kills without blinking an eye?" Xi Maijun whispered the name that popped up out of nowhere, and made a sudden decision.

"Shenggong, ask all brothers to prepare. From now on, attack Lijiazhuang by force!" Xi Maijun suggested to Li Lei.

Because of his order, suddenly, the battle situation in Langya Ridge reached a peak that had never been seen in seven days!
Vaguely, he remembered that person saying: "You have to pick it up, or you have to pick it up..." If you really did it, I'll see how you pick it up. No matter how powerful the strategy is, in the face of absolute strength, it will definitely They are all paper tigers and will be crushed.

The rebel army was advancing like a tide.

On the side of the rebels, Xi Mai's army surged after making a sudden and decisive judgment, which also caused horror and confusion on the Lijiazhuang side.

After Li Tianying, Li Biao and others retreated back to the village, the leaders of the rebel army gathered in groups and made a gesture to seize the position, which really shocked everyone in the village.

All kinds of fortifications and traps on Langya Ridge have been almost destroyed, only around Zhuangzi there are some remnants. The reason why the rebels have not stormed yet is because the damage from the storm is still too great.

But from the looks of it at this moment, grabbing a leader actually made the opponent suddenly feel like his hair was blown up, and everyone was frightened into a daze.

Even Hao Jingcheng, who was standing on the outer wall of Zhuangzi and planning a strategy, squinted his eyes at this scene, wondering, "What's wrong with them?"

In just a moment, the householders surged towards the wall, already preparing for a formal defense under the yelling of Li Tianying and others.Li Tianying came back from the outside with wounds on his body, and he was a little surprised when he rushed to Zhuangzi's wall at this time.

If the rebels were really reckless, Lijiazhuang would definitely not be able to survive in the end. They were just happy that they had captured 300 people. At this time, Li Biao was holding a steel gun and looking at Hao Jingcheng, angrily Said: "Look at the good deeds you have done, they are going to attack!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Tianying glanced at Hao Jingcheng, "We have just arrested someone, and the other party's reaction is so strong, it shows that Mr. Hao's strategy is effective, and they are scared! This is a good thing!"

"The good thing is that Zhuangzi will be defeated two days earlier!" Li Biao said angrily.

"It's better than waiting to die like before!" Li Tianying laughed. He obviously saw things far more profound than Li Biao. At this time, he bowed his hands to Hao Jingcheng, "Mr. Hao, do you have other plans? If not, some Then defend according to the normal situation."

Hao Jingcheng was still poking his head over there to watch the gathering of the rebels. At this time, he looked at Li Tianying and asked, "If there is no plan, how long can the owner of the Li villa hold out?"

"We defend with all our strength, and there will be no problem in defending until the day after tomorrow. If they want to break the bank, they will have to pay several times the price. We can only fight hard, so that the rebels can't bear the loss and may retreat." Li Tianying said softly.

This was Li Tianying's idea from the beginning, if Langya Ridge fought hard, as the rebels were unwilling to bear the loss, it might be possible to save it.It's a pity that the fighting in the past few days has not deterred the opponent.

Li Tianying's attitude towards Hao Jingcheng was still lukewarm before, but now seeing the changes in the rebel army and knowing that Hao Jingcheng's strategy has obviously had an effect, he is obviously much more cordial.

Hao Jingcheng smiled and said, "Then I still have some ideas."
