Right now, the public opinion of Guancheng County was like a ticking time bomb. What Liu Rengui was doing right now was to collect these ticking time bombs and wait for a specific time to detonate them all at the same time, blowing up a crack in this impregnable city!
Many things looked impenetrable from the outside, but from the inside, they might be easily broken!
"Reporting!"
"Reporting to the Grand General, the scouts at the front discovered a large number of troops and a group of unidentified Jianghu people at the junction of Zhengzhou and Xuzhou. They are rushing towards us!"
At five past noon, a soldier rushed in from the Black Armored Army's tent in the south of the city and reported to Duan Zhixuan.
"Oh? At this time, 50,000 unidentified troops suddenly appeared. They must be the reinforcements of the Cui and Zhen families. As for those Jianghu people, they might be the retainers of these two families in recent years! Did you see how many of them there are? How long will it take to reach Guancheng County? "
Duan Zhixuan's expression changed as he stood up.
"Replying to the Grand General, the other party has about 50,000 people. According to their marching speed, they will reach Guancheng County around five!"
"Five … Then when will the Grand General Manager and the rest arrive?"
Duan Zhixuan's expression changed slightly as he thought about it and asked again.
"According to the latest intelligence, the Grand General Manager's army is more than 30 miles away from Guancheng County. They will probably reach Guancheng County around five, but …"
The soldier suddenly became hesitant at the end.
Duan Zhixuan frowned and said, "But what?"
"But the Grand General Manager's army travels day and night. As far as I know, they only rested for less than four hours last night!"
The soldier cupped his fist and said.
His meaning was obvious. He wanted to tell Duan Zhixuan that even if the army led by Li Jing arrived, their combat power would probably be less than 10%. After all, they didn't really rest for a day and a night!
Duan Zhixuan's brows furrowed deeply. After pondering for a moment, he ordered, "Wu Feng, Zheng Chang, the two of you go to the east and west camps respectively. Ask Ren Can and Wang Yu to take twenty thousand men each and go with me to stop the reinforcements of the Cui and Zheng families!"
"Then, Grand General, if the rebels in the city take the opportunity to escape from the south gate, what should we do?"
The general to the left of Duan Zhixuan cupped his fist and said.
"I will only bring one thousand Black Armored Troops with me. The remaining two thousand will be led by the two of you! If the Cui Family intends to escape from the South City Gate, the 60,000 elites that you brought along with the Head Chief will be able to defeat them easily! "
Duan Zhixuan said coldly.
Wu Feng and Zheng Chang looked at each other, and then they cupped their fists and said in unison, "Understood!"
"… Mm, report the military situation here to the general director while you're at it!"
In the end, Duan Zhixuan instructed.
"Here ~!"
…
"Reporting!"
"Reporting to the three great grandpas, the two young masters have sent a letter saying that our reinforcements have arrived forty miles outside the city! In another four hours, we will reach the south of the city! "
Guancheng County, Provincial Governor's Office.
A soldier carrying a piece of paper hurriedly ran in and bowed.
The reinforcements of the Cui and Zheng families this time were personally led by Cui Wenji and Zheng Shuwu's eldest grandsons — Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie. The troops carried carrier pigeons so that they could send messages into the city at any time!
This message was, of course, directed in one direction. Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie could use carrier pigeons to send messages into the city, but Cui Wenji and Zheng Shuwu could not use carrier pigeons to send messages to Cui Shen and the rest. This was because the army was constantly on the move, and carrier pigeons would only return to the home in their memories!
Compared to that, the superiority of telegraphic messages was obvious!
"Good! Good! When Shen 'er and the rest arrive with their reinforcements, we will fight our way out from the South City Gate. With a pincer attack, I don't believe that we can't fight our way out? "
Cui Wenji got up and laughed.
Cui Junchuo hesitated and said, "Brother Wenji, the army has been on the move for a whole day. Why don't we let them rest for a night and fight again tomorrow?"
Cui Wenji nodded and said, "Junchuo is right! Look at my brain, I'm probably old and confused! Once I get excited, I forget everything! The army is fatigued from the journey and should indeed rest for a night. In that case, we will attack again tomorrow! It's just that, how are we going to spread the news? "
When he said that, Cui Junchuo, Cui Wenji, and Zheng Shuwu were all in a dilemma. Previously, they had sealed the city so that Wei Zheng and Liu Rengui could not spread the news even if they wanted to. It was only after Li Yu came to manage the city that the situation changed. Now, Guancheng County was surrounded by the imperial court's army. Cui Junchuo and the rest finally experienced Wei Zheng and Liu Rengui's situation!
"For now, we can only wait for Huaijie and the rest to send another message and act according to their plan. If they choose to fight tonight, then we will go out of the city and fight. If they choose to rest for a night, then we will wait until tomorrow to lead the troops out of the city!"
After a long silence, Zheng Shuwu said helplessly.
"That's the only way!"
…
"Reporting!"
"Reporting to the chief steward, General Duan sent an urgent report!"
In the wilderness 30 miles west of Guancheng County, a huge army was advancing quickly. Suddenly, a knight in black armor came toward them. Li Jing quickly ordered the army to stop. The knight quickly got off his horse and cupped his fists.
"Read it!"
Li Jing said in a low voice.
"Reporting to the chief steward, General Duan found the reinforcements of the Cui and Zheng families 40 miles south of Guancheng County, as well as the martial arts experts and death warriors that the two families have raised. General Duan took 20,000 soldiers from the east and west gates and brought 1,000 black armored soldiers to ambush them. General Duan said that the chief steward and the rest must be tired after traveling through the night. When the time comes, we only need to help in the south of the city to stop the rebels from escaping!"
The black armored soldier cupped his fists and said.
Defense was always more energy-efficient than taking the initiative to attack. Duan Zhixuan's arrangement was reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it!
"Bastard! What does Duan Zhixuan mean? What do you mean by tired? He is looking down on us old generals! Motherf * cker, you want to steal Old Cheng's credit? Impossible! Chief steward, I request for an order to bring 1,000 elites to stop the reinforcements of the Cui and Zheng families! "
When Cheng Yaojin heard this, he was instantly furious. He cupped his fists at Li Jing and said angrily.
"Zhijie, don't be rash! General Duan is right, the army has traveled for a day and night, the men and horses are tired! "
Qinqiong pulled Cheng Yaojin and stopped him.
Li Jing frowned and did not say anything. After a while, he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the map!"
"Yes!"
A soldier at the side quickly handed over the map.
Li Jing opened it and pointed at a location on the map. He said to Cheng Yaojin, Qinqiong and Niu Jinda.
"The reinforcements of the Cui and Zheng families should be around Mi County, and they are less than 30 miles away from us. Since they are the last trump card of the Cui and Zheng families, their fighting strength cannot be underestimated. Furthermore, there are many martial arts experts and death warriors. I'm worried that Duan Zhixuan's men are not their match! Zhijie, you bring 5,000 elites and support Duan Zhixuan. When the time comes, you will act according to the situation! After I stabilize the defense line at the 3 gates of Guancheng County, I will bring people to support you! "
Cheng Yaojin laughed when he heard this, "Haha! Good! Don't worry, Head Chief, I, Old Cheng, will kill all the rebels! "
Qinqiong said anxiously, "Manager, it's easy for Zhijie to take risks. I will go with him! Guancheng County has you and Jinda, so there shouldn't be any accidents! "
When Cheng Yaojin heard that, his face fell. However, Qinqiong was talking about him, so he did not dare to talk back.
Li Jing thought about it and said, "That's great!"
A moment later, Qinqiong and Cheng Yaojin chose 5,000 elites from the 60 thousand army and rushed towards Mi County.
…
"We will be able to see Guancheng County in an hour. Huai Jie, should we find a secluded place outside the city to rest for the night or launch an attack directly?"
On the road north of Mi County, the reinforcements of the Cui and Zheng families were rushing. Cui Shen, who was at the front, opened his mouth.
Zheng Huaijie rubbed his thighs that were almost scraped open. He had always been a spoiled brat, so he had never suffered so much. If it weren't for the Zheng family's crisis, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to come here personally. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Why don't we launch the attack tomorrow? The soldiers have walked for a day and should be tired! "
Cui Shen nodded and said, "That's good! I will send someone to send a message to grandfather! "
The army continued to move forward. At this moment, there was a mountain path in front of them. The mountain path was not very narrow and could allow 4 horses to walk side by side. The hills on both sides were not very steep and there was a dense forest growing on the hills.
"Young master, please tell the army to be on high alert and be careful of an ambush!"
An old man beside Cui Shen, Wang Tie Shou, who had said that he would lead the army to kill the Black Armored Army, came to Cui Shen's side and said solemnly.
Cui Shen frowned, "Ambush? At this time, they will ambush me … "
"Keng! Keng! Keng! "
"Kill!"
Before Cui Shen could finish his sentence, countless soldiers suddenly rushed down from the hills on both sides. They held Mo Swords in their hands and charged toward the Cui and Zheng armies with an indomitable will!
"Ambush! Draw your swords and fight! Remember to maintain the formation! "
Wang Tie Shou shouted. Then, he and a few other experts surrounded Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie in the middle to protect them!
The two armies soon engaged in battle. As they did not know where the enemy came from and whether they would have any reinforcements, Cui Shen and Zheng Huaijie ordered the army to advance as they fought. They planned to get out of this mountain path first and get rid of the terrain that was disadvantageous to them!
Soon, they saw the mountain path. Once they got out of this mountain path, there would be a vast plain in front of them. At that time, they would be able to fight the enemy head-on!
"Bang bang bang!"
Just as Cui Shen and his army were about to get out of the mountain path, everyone suddenly felt the ground tremble. Then, a group of black armored cavalry appeared on the plain outside the mountain path. They were emitting a strong and cold murderous aura, like a group of death knights from hell!
"Black Armored Army? Young master, it's the Black Armored Army! But why are the Black Armored Troops here? "
Wang Tie Shou said with a face full of fear.
