Chapter 730: The wind rises

The people of Zhengyang County, who were used to living a peaceful life, were so shocked that they almost lost the ability to think about the matter of being connected to each other in the county.

The Ge family of Li colluded with the barbarians to rebel, and actually wanted to lead the barbarians into Zhengyang County? While the rumors were still being questioned, teams of county soldiers had already left the camp and rushed to the Li family and Ge family's mansion. The people of the two palaces were tied up on the streets like shrimps and received the attention of countless people. Then the announcement of the county government was posted all over the streets and alleys, and the crimes of Li Ge were recorded on it. The people of Zhengyang County were all dumbfounded when they saw all this.

Then anger began to spread throughout the city.

In the minds of the people of Zhengyang County, barbarians are synonymous with the stern barbarians. Over the years, the things represented by the two words barbarians have almost disappeared in the eyes of all the people, that is, those readers will find the painful memories of the past in historical allusions. However, in the past two years, the news from the four counties in the north has rekindled people's memory of that era.

The fear of the barbarians returned to the people's minds. Fortunately, the imperial army surrounded the barbarians in the four northern counties. They originally thought they were already the most important things. No one would have thought that the dignified imperial generals, the gentry of Zhengyang, would have unscrupulously seduced the barbarians for money, and wanted to turn Zhengyang County into a world of barbarians.

No one wants to be a slave to the barbarians again.

Zhengyang County is rich, and almost all the people can call it a well-off family, but the more such a person is, the more afraid of the barbarians. They don’t want the wealth they have accumulated with great effort, and they will be owned by the barbarians in a blink of an eye.

"The angry people in the city gathered in front of the prison and demanded that the Li Ge clan members who colluded with the barbarians be executed." An official reported to Liao Hui tremblingly, "There are too many people, and I am worried that they will run into the prison."

"Sir, it's not good. Countless people broke through the mansion of Li Ge Er, who was guarding the yamen runners, and were pushing the walls and tiles inside. The two mansions had almost been razed to the ground." Another official rushed in with a pale face.

Liao Hui's face turned pale, but the other two inside the room looked as usual.

"The forces of the two battalions of General Wu, Li Wei and Ge Township are now on their way back to Zhengyang County. We have completely blocked the news of Zhengyang County, so now, they probably think that Zhengyang County is opening its doors to welcome their return!" Tian Zhen smiled and said, "We have two days to prepare."

Wu Ling nodded. "The county soldiers are three thousand, and I bring 1,500 people. General Tian Zhen's command has 1,000 Hawks and Falcons, totaling 5,500 people. This is all our troops. What we have to face is not only Li Wei, but also the 10,000 people from the second tribe of Gexiang, but also the army that the barbarians followed closely. Three days, we have to guard for three days."

"Does General Wuling have no confidence?" Tian Zhen asked with a smile.

"The combat effectiveness of the county soldiers is worrying." Wu Ling shook his head: "You don't have to worry about my 1,500 people. Among them, 500 people were fire death camps, and the other 1,000 people were recruited by me in Changyang County. Most of them were former General Wu's old subordinates, and the other part had fought in Shuntian Army. They were all considered veterans. General Tian, ​​how about your thousand eagles?"

"The Eagle Falcon is the assault force of the Eagle's Nest. It has been trained for a long time and has extremely strong combat power." Tian Zhen said proudly.

"I'm not asking about their individual combat capabilities, but about their collective combat capabilities on the battlefield." Wu Ling shook his head.

"They used to have raids of small troops, but this was the first time that this large-scale cluster operation was participated in, but I believe them." Tian Zhen said. "General Wuling has rich combat experience, and I believe you can use them well."

Wu Ling glanced at Tian Zhen, nodded, and then felt relieved. He was not really worried about the combat effectiveness of the Hawk Falcon, but was worried that when fighting, the orders would be poor and his combat instructions would not be implemented. After all, they belonged to the special forces of the Hawk Nest and their boss Tian Zhen was also in the city.

Tian Zhen's words showed that he would not interfere in the battle, and also gave Wu Ling the command of the Thousand Eagles to Wu Ling, which made Wu Ling really relieved.

"The people's hearts are available." Liao Hui's face slowly returned to normal. In fact, he was not afraid of attacking from outside, but was frightened by the fierce reaction of the people of Zhengyang County. He thought that if he had not made a decision in time and took action to surrender to His Majesty, he would have been afraid that the Liao family and the Li Ge clans were now in the prison together. "In the Zhengyang County city, there were more than 100,000 permanent residents, of which 30% were young and middle-aged. These people could be armed. They could have more than 100,000 soldiers out of thin air."

"I also think this plan is feasible." Tian Zhen nodded, "If you don't say that you really want them to go into battle to kill the enemy, it's better to have a strong momentum."

Wu Ling flatly refused. He had experienced the Shuntian Army Rebellion. At that time, Molo's seemingly arrogant army was broken by Qin Feng's elite small troops, killing people with heads and pissings, still vivid in his mind.

"War is not warfare, but sometimes it will be bad if there are too many people. These people have never been on the battlefield or fought. Once they are emotionally unstable, it will affect other people." Wu Ling shook his head and said, "I don't need them in combat. However, Lord Liao can still organize them and patrol the city to prevent censors, transport wounded, supplies, etc. There are still a lot of things to do. If they do all these things, I can also use every power to defend the city."

"Okay, I'll organize them and have to let them do something, otherwise if this continues, the city will be unstable. Maybe the remnants of Li Ge'er's clan will take the opportunity to cause trouble."

Wu Ling nodded: "Stability in the city is the top priority."

After a whole day of noisy, the city finally calmed down. The whole city martial law issued by the county government began to work, and Liao Hui was still a very capable figure. After all, in Zhengyang County, the Liao family is also a famous family. After the fall of the Xu, Li and Ge tribes one after another, the Liao family has become the most undisputed family.

Every street, alley, every yard, every mile in the city, a group of city marshals were quickly formed. They had no weapons, but they only had a wooden stick to inspect the territory they were responsible for. Zhengyang County City quickly became quiet.

Compared to the quiet city, the city wall was extremely busy. Countless weapons were moved to the top of the city, and they were dismantled with oil paper packaging. Various shiny weapons shone with faint light under the illumination of torches. The veterans silently took out these weapons and began to install them on the top of the city.

The latest crossbow arrows and stone cannons are now available in Zhengyang County. After Qin Feng inspected Zhengyang County and decided to close the door and beat dogs, Zhengyang County, which serves as bait, has become the focus of the entire plan. The latest weapons from Daye and Taiping have been transported here in a constant stream of secrets, which is also the reason why Wu Ling is full of confidence.

Although there are not many soldiers in Zhengyang County, the weapons are first-class and there are all kinds of them. In addition, the tall and sturdy walls of Zhengyang County will pay a heavy price no matter who attacks.

Tens of miles away from Zhengyang, two fire dragons from different places officially gathered together. Li Wei's face was extremely gloomy, and Ge Xiang was also the same as his expression was extremely ugly.

"Is there no news from Zhengyang County yet?"

"Not yet." Behind him, an officer responded. "We have sent more than a dozen waves of people to contact General Li Bo, but so far, no one has come back. General, has something happened to Zhengyang County?"

"What can happen?" Ge Xiang snorted coldly: "In Zhengyang County, there is Liao Hui, who shares honor and disgrace with us. The three families of Li, Ge and Liao join forces. Even if there are any objections in the city, they will be quickly suppressed."

"With Liao Hui in Zhengyang County, there should be no problem. Liao Hui is just not decisive enough. However, since Li Bo has returned, he will certainly suppress him. Don't worry about these things. The army accelerates, and strive to enter the city early tomorrow morning, take over Zhengyang County, and welcome the Yan army. As long as we take down Zhengyang County, we will win most of this battle."

"I don't know if the barbarians have time?" Ge Xiang sighed: "Time is a little tight after all. I thought there was still two months to prepare, but now I'm in a hurry to start a business. I always feel that there are loopholes everywhere."

"If we wait any longer, we will become fish in the net." Li Wei sneered: "If the Yan people want to accomplish things, they must rely on us to take down Zhengyang County. They dare not delay at all. If we are destroyed, their plan will completely die."

The two of them walked slowly together. Although Li Wei said hard, his expression could not be hidden from Ge Xiang.

"I heard that I cooperated with the barbarians to counterattack Zhengyang County. The officers of Zhengyang Camp did not say anything in person, but hundreds of people had already run away on the way to set off." Ge Xiang whispered: "Where are you doing?"

"This is also the reason why I want to advance at the fastest speed. Now the morale of the army is unstable, and the soldiers who are running away in the private camp are constantly running, and the number of people running away is no less than yours." Li Wei nodded and said, "As long as you enter Zhengyang County City and control this key point, you can stabilize the morale of the army. Otherwise, as time goes by, more people will run."

Ge Xiang sighed heavily: "Why did it reveal so quickly? It feels really bad now. I originally thought the plan was perfect, but when I started it early, I felt that there were loopholes everywhere. Li Wei, Panshi, Canglang, Ruijin and other battle camps can reach the foot of Zhengyang County in at most three or five days. If the barbarians cannot arrive in time, we will be finished."
