Chapter 116 Decision
"Report! The Xicheng Gate is in a hurry. Someone is in trouble and wants to seize the city gate. Please send someone to rescue as soon as possible, otherwise the Xicheng Gate will be in danger!"
A urgent report shocked Li Chengming and Xue Wanche. Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, someone wanted to seize the West City Gate. Could it be that Yuchi Gong and others had already colluded with the people in the city before the army came?
And, where did they come from the troops?
You should know that although there are not many soldiers guarding the Xicheng Gate, there are still 500 people. In addition, there are thousands of civilians who asked the county magistrate Wang Fusheng to recruit suddenly. There are quite a few people. If you want to deal with these people, you can't do without thousands of troops.
"What did you say?" Xue Wanche heard this and happened to approach the soldier, his eyes glaring as if he was about to eat people.
It’s not that Xue Wanche is like this, it’s because the battle between Dongchengmen was already very clear. As long as you persist, it’s a foregone conclusion to win this battle.
However, unexpectedly, something happened suddenly on the west city gate. How could he not be shocked and angry?
Li Chengming flashed and appeared in front of the blood-covered soldier. The blood-covered soldier was shocked when he saw Li Chengming appearing suddenly. However, after seeing that it was Li Chengming, he quickly bowed, "See Your Highness!"
"You just said that there are people who are in trouble at the Xicheng Gate. Where are the people coming from? How many people are there in total? How are they now?" Li Chengming asked without nonsense.
"When you go back to your highness, the rebellious leader is Zhou Xingxiu, the county magistrate of Hui County. He colluded with the wealthy families in the city and brought the guards and servants under the house. The number was about a thousand. Zhou Xingxiu first pretended to be here to help defend the city gate, and then suddenly assassinated General Wang, causing General Wang to be seriously injured. Although General Wang later gathered his troops and retreated back to the Xicheng Gate, using the city gate and the city wall as defense, before he became humble, the troops at the Xicheng Gate were less than half. I am afraid that it would be a little bad. Please send troops to rescue quickly." The soldier told the story in one breath.
Hearing the words of this soldier, Li Chengming frowned, and did not expect that there would be a rebellion in the city.
You should know that after he took Huixian, he has been completely unfair to Huixian for the past few days. Not only himself, but also the soldiers and generals in Xue Wanche have been restricting them from doing evil in Huixian. Even the raw materials and other things collected by Li Chengming before were all bought for money, rather than robbing them with a tough snatch.
Originally, he thought that doing this would prevent some conflicts in the city. It seemed that he was still too naive and underestimated the greed of people. I am afraid that these wealthy families should have seen that he has a small army and a large army outside the city is approaching, and they are still thinking of being a hero who has to fight the rebellion?
Thinking of this, Li Chengming suddenly glanced at the corner of his mouth and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Xue Wanche, what do you think of this?" I thought for a moment, and after a moment of thought, Li Chengming asked Xue Wanche, who was shocked and angry next to me.
After the soldiers' narration, Xue Wanche, who was originally shocked and angry, gradually regained his rationality. When he heard Li Chengming's question, he glanced at the enemy outside the city, which was obviously shocked. Xue Wanche fought in his mind, and then clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, there must be no mistakes in the West City Gate. Otherwise, if those people are allowed to seize the West City Gate and then welcome Changsun Wuji and those rebellious into the city, the situation will be very bad for us."
"So, the general of the Mo feels that it is better for the general of the Mo to lead troops to the Xichengmen immediately to quell the rebellion, so that the rear can be stabilized!"
Xue Wanche's suggestions can be said to be very pertinent and very steady. Faced with rebellions in the city, generals will definitely choose to eliminate the rebellion and then deal with the enemy outside, which is the so-called "to defend against foreign countries" and "to settle the internal affairs first."
However, after Xue Wanche finished speaking, Li Chengming just shook his head slightly and did not agree.
Although Xue Wanche's words were very pertinent, this was only under normal circumstances. However, they were not ordinary now. With his previous arrangements and his existence, we could not pay attention to the rebellion of the Xicheng Gate. As long as they defeated the enemy outside the city, the thousand people with the Xicheng Gate would not be able to cause any storm.
"I don't think there is no need to worry about the matter of the Xicheng Gate. Now the enemy troops outside the city have been shocked by us. If we distribute troops to rescue the Xicheng Gate, the dispersion of the troops will make them relieved. It would be better to defeat them directly. As long as the tens of thousands of enemy troops outside the city are defeated, the rebellion at the Xicheng Gate is not afraid at all!" Li Chengming looked at Xue Wanche and said confidently.
After hearing Li Chengming's plan, Xue Wanche was shocked. He didn't expect that Li Chengming would come up with such a strategy. This was simply too risky.
"Your Highness, this matter is too risky. If you are not careful, we will be in danger of being overwhelmed. Please think twice!" Xue Wanche hurriedly clasped his fists and persuaded him.
"If you stop, you will suffer the chaos! Xue Wanche, I have decided, so there is no need to say more. Now you will send someone to organize the troops in the city. Except for the 300 people who stay, you will go out of the city to defeat the enemy. Have you heard that?" Li Chengming knew that the longer the matter was, it would be unfavorable to him. He did not talk nonsense to Xue Wanche, and directly ordered Xue Wanche in an orderly tone.
When Xue Wanche heard Li Chengming's order, although she wanted to persuade her again, she was in the army now, and the military orders were as high as a mountain. Coupled with the mystery that Li Chengming had always shown before, Xue Wanche finally decided to obey Li Chengming's orders.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will obey the order!" Xue Wanche bowed his fists, and then without hesitation, he directly ordered the messenger behind him.
Li Chengming ignored Xue Wanche's arrangement. He jumped directly onto the female wall (there is no way, the person is too small). He watched as the smoke gradually dissipated in the distance, nearly a thousand corpses appeared inside and the two thousand cavalry hesitant not far away, and finally the dense figures arranged in an array of about three miles away, with his eyes flashing.
He also knew that he was indeed very risky to do this. The safest way was to deal with the army outside the city as Xue Wanche said, as he quelled the rebellion at the Xicheng Gate.
However, what Xue Wanche didn't know was that Li Chengming was actually quite worried, worried that Changsun Wuji would see through the reality of the city. After all, the defenders in the city are only more than 3,000 now. Now he is just relying on the power of the explosive pack to scare the tens of thousands of troops outside. If they see through the emptiness of the guards in the city, this battle will definitely be difficult to fight by then. Even if he can win, he doesn't know how long it will take to drag it.
What's more, there are actually not enough explosive packs in the city now. Due to the raw materials, there are only a few hundred packs so far.
Although the power of the explosive pack looks huge, it is only because Changsun Wuji and others have encountered it for the first time, so they don’t know its weakness. Otherwise, even if they suffer casualties, they would not be as terrifying as they are now.
It is precisely because of worrying about these things that Lee Seung-ming decided to take a chance.
Moreover, he did not feel that under his previous arrangement, he could not really defeat the enemy outside.
"Your Highness, the last general has gathered three thousand soldiers and generals as you ordered. What should you do next? Please tell me!" Since he had decided to obey the order, Xue Wanche did not make any decision. After passing the order, he bowed to Li Chengming for instructions.
Li Chengming nodded slightly, but his eyes looked at the place where Changsun Wuji stationed his army tens of thousands of miles away. A cold light flashed from his eyes and said quietly, "It's time to send the order to let that man detonate the two thunders buried underground outside the city!"
