"A thousand soldiers and horses!"

Li Laiheng's bold words shocked all the generals present. Li Guo and Liu Fangliang, who had always cared about Li Laiheng, both looked horrified.

Li Guo's face, which was usually calm and calm over time, was even more exciting at this time. His eyes were wide open, with a look of disbelief on his face. He bit his lips tightly and wanted to say something, but his body stood still.

Halfway through, he sat back down again.

Based on Li Guo's understanding of Li Laiheng, he believed that Li Laiheng would never tell lies.

No matter how bizarre it was, since his adopted son had such determination and confidence to win, Li Guo felt that he should give Li Laiheng full trust.

So he hesitated again and again, but finally did not object.

But Liu Fangliang beside him couldn't sit still. He was Li Laiheng's gun and stick master. After getting along with him for more than half a year, he had already regarded Li Laiheng as his close and beloved student and apprentice. How could he just watch Li Laiheng throw himself into a desperate situation?

Liu Fangliang looked particularly anxious. He tried his best to persuade Li Laiheng in a serious and thoughtful tone: "Laiheng! You are still too young and immature. You don't understand many things. But the boss, Qi Weng, Mr. Song, and I, we are all here for

You think about it, so I advise you like this. You must stop talking nonsense. Can military orders be spoken casually? You are too immature and do not understand the critical situation. I am worried for you!"

Song Xiance also shook his head, but he was not as anxious as Liu Fangliang to the point of incoherence. Instead, he quoted scriptures and said: "Kaifeng City was rebuilt after the Jin Dynasty moved its capital to Kaifeng. It was made of bricks on the outside and earth on the inside. According to legend, when Kaifeng was rebuilt, it was from tigers

The soil was transported from Laoguan, so the soil is very hard. Although this legend may not be credible, I have seen the Kaifeng city wall with my own eyes. Not only is the soil quality very good, but the soil is also mixed with lime."

"The inner city is five feet high, with five watchtowers built on them, all with holes for arrows and artillery. There are five large city towers, four turrets, and twenty-four star towers, all arranged in a twenty-eight-meter pattern. There is a trench around the city, and the trench is wide.

Five feet, the bottom is three feet wide and the depth is two feet. There are plank bridges across the trenches outside the five gates, commonly known as living suspension bridges. Kaifeng City is so strong that it is only good for smart attacks, not for hard attacks. If you want to attack hard, you must prepare more siege cannons.

.”

"Little General, the defense of Kaifeng City is so strong. Even if I only leave a thousand more soldiers and horses to stay in Luoyang, I am afraid that I will reduce the chance of defeating Kaifeng City and affect the overall development of Chuangying in Zhongzhou. Little General, please put the overall situation first!

"

Song Xiance once sold divination in Kaifeng and controlled the intelligence network of three religions and nine schools. Fortune tellers and entertainers like him are actually another form of intelligence dealers. As the "top artist" among fortune tellers in Henan, Song Xiance

The intelligence channels we have are even greater than those in the entire camp.

When he talked about the situation in Kaifeng, his words were indeed more convincing than Liu Fangliang's words.

The people who broke into the camp, including Li Zicheng, all focused their attention on Li Laiheng.

Li Zicheng's eyes were slightly wavering, Li Guo's eyes were anxious but trusting, Li Shuangxi looked at Li Laiheng with an expression of surprise and admiration, others such as Liu Fangliang, Tian Jianxiu,

Yuan Zongdi and others also had different expressions, revealing the inconsistency in everyone's opinions and positions.

Li Laiheng was already aware of everyone's doubts and hesitations. He had a case in mind, so he smiled and replied: "Mr. Song, it is precisely because Kaifeng City is so dangerous that it is more necessary for someone to stay in Luoyang and try to hold back the main force of the army.

The pace will create a window of time for the main force to attack Kaifeng."

"With the current strength of the troops in the camp, a thousand soldiers and horses will not affect the overall situation... If the leader still feels uneasy, then even with these thousand soldiers and horses, I don't have to use all the elite soldiers of the Little Tiger Squadron, but can mix them with others

Some village soldiers from Xiong'er Mountain, Funiu Mountain or newly attached militiamen from Luoyang."

"As for Master Liu's statement, since I dare to submit a military order to the leader, I am naturally prepared. Not to mention that Luoyang is rich in materials, and there is no shortage of money, food and equipment. In terms of time, the marshal will lead the main force to detour you first.

Prefecture, if we make a surprise attack on Kaifeng, as long as we don't force the enemy to fortify the city, we will be able to complete the task of capturing Kaifeng in as little as half a month and at most a month."

Li Laiheng's smile grew thicker and he said: "So the Little Tiger Team... so the front-line soldiers only need to hold back the main force of the official army for a while, and then they can retreat calmly. Considering that the official army is on the road from Mengjin to Luoyang, and Luoyang to Kaifeng

Mercedes-Benz, then the mission of the Little Tiger Team is actually to hold off the army for ten to fifteen days!"

"As long as the marshal grants me, the president, the power to take advantage of the overall situation in Luoyang, I, Li Laiheng, will issue a military order here. If I cannot delay the army in Luoyang for ten to fifteen days, I will commit suicide under the city of Luoyang!"

With a "clang" sound, the cup Tian Jianxiu was holding in his hand fell to the ground uncontrollably. The generous elder who broke into the camp shook his head repeatedly and said with a sad and pitiful expression: "Laiheng, Laiheng

, this... aren't you in a desperate situation? Why bother? Why bother! "

"Uncle Yufeng, after so many years of breaking into the camp and raising troops, has there ever been a day when we were not in the most desperate and dangerous situation? Do you think you can have your head tied to your waist and kill officials and rebel, and still expect peace of mind?"

Li Laiheng clasped his fists, saluted Li Zicheng solemnly, and said: "Marshal! Let the marshal make a final judgment on whether to adopt my opinion..."

Halfway through his words, he couldn't help but laugh: "Ha, Marshal, please come up with an answer quickly!"

Li Zicheng's eyes were filled with emotion, but he hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately. At this time, there was suddenly a noisy sound of people and horses outside the camp gate, and he frowned, feeling a little surprised.

Tian Jianxiu simply walked outside the flower hall and said to the guards who were shouting outside: "What happened? The boss in the flower hall is discussing important military matters. Why are you making such a noise outside? You are playing the piano randomly!"

The two Qingqi dismounted quickly and ran in front of Tian Jianxiu. As they ran, they shouted loudly: "Master Tian Shao, we have an urgent report! Something big has happened!"

Tian Jianxiu received a letter with three pieces of chicken feathers stuck on it. When he opened it, he was suddenly shocked and blurted out: "Ah? Zhang Xianzhong actually has such a wonderful move! Okay, wow!"

Next to them, Yuan Zongdi, Niu Jinxing and Liu Fangliang immediately asked what was going on. Li Zicheng also took a few steps forward. Everyone's attention was suddenly focused on the Tang newspaper in Tian Jianxiu's hand.

Tian Jianxiu smiled and handed the Tang newspaper to them and said: "The Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong has attacked Xiangyang, killed King Xiang, and looted Yang Sichang's lair!"

"ah!"

Everyone exclaimed. Even Li Zicheng, who had always remained calm even when Mount Tai collapsed, couldn't help but scream. But then, Li Zicheng burst into hearty laughter and said with a hearty smile: "Okay.

Zhang Xianzhong is such an Eighth King! Zhang, with his big beard, is such a character that he will never suffer losses in vain!"

"Lee Laiheng!"

Li Zicheng turned around and called Li Laiheng's name. Li Laiheng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood from Li Zicheng's excited expression that King Chuang had finally made up his mind to fight, so he confidently replied: "Yes!"

"I'll leave you a thousand soldiers and horses, and Gao Yigong will also stay to assist you. Together, you will guard Luoyang City for ten days. After ten days, no matter whether the attack on Kaifeng is successful or not, retreat to Xiong'er Mountain!"

Li Zicheng immediately called Wu Ruyi and Li You to his side, and asked the two generals of the Chinese army to immediately pass orders to the entire army. Then people saw two small schools on horseback, one galloping forward and the other backward. In just a moment,

All the soldiers in all the battalions, outposts, and teams of the entire army knew that Zhang Xianzhong had already attacked Xiangyang, killed the king of Xiang, and raided Yang Sichang's home.

At the same time, everyone heard the order from King Chuang, asking the soldiers not to be afraid of hard work and fatigue, and to rush day and night to prepare to leave Luoyang, cross the Songshan Mountains, and attack Ruzhou.

Shao Shichang was taken away by Li Shuangxi, and Li Laiheng was granted presidential power to act conveniently in Luoyang. Gao Yigong, Hao Yaoqi and others led a thousand rebels to assist him.

Li Zicheng's army quickly took action, and the sky had not yet reached dawn. The east had just shone brightly, and then a faint wisp of red clouds appeared. I saw the messenger school sent by Wu Ruyi of the Chinese Army to the front kept galloping forward, in the light red sky.

The shadow of the whip fluttered in the dawn, and the copper ornaments on the saddle and bridle shone with dancing golden light in the distance.
