The Return of the Demon

Chapter 887 Who in the World Doesn’t Know You?

The next day, early in the morning.

King Wu led his men to Baizheling.

Last night, Yuan Long sent someone to inform King Wu of the situation on his side.

Baizheling has overlapping mountains and has natural advantages. It is not a problem to hide tens of thousands of troops in it.

According to the plan set by Ning Chen, King Wu will stay in Baizheling and take people to guard the prisoners.

Yuan Long will lead the Ning'an Army and 40,000 Xuanjia Army to Liangzhou.

After a brief discussion and handover, Yuan Long led the army to set off.

Because according to the plan, Ning Chen is already on the way to Liangzhou.

Yuan Long must arrive in Liangzhou at the same time as Ning Chen.

.......

On the desolate ancient road, 100,000 troops stretched across the sky, like a dragon with a head but no tail.

This 100,000-strong army is composed of the Xuanling Army and the Xuanjia Army, and Ning Chen leads the army personally.

In a flash of half a month, 100,000 troops approached Liangzhou.

Liangzhou now has 70,000 to 80,000 troops stationed there, who were originally withdrawn from Yangzhou.

Liangzhou, military camp.

A lean soldier rode his horse to a tent.

"Report... urgent military information!"

The soldier shouted hurriedly and dismounted at the same time.

In the tent, a middle-aged man with thin cheeks and an elderly man were talking.

The middle-aged man was Song Gaozhuo, the current garrison commander of Liangzhou.

The other elderly man was the King of Xiang, who originally lived in Yangzhou... Now that Yangzhou was occupied by Nanyue, he was forced to retreat to Liangzhou.

The reason why he was forced was not only because Nanyue occupied Yangzhou... but also because his family was in the capital.

The King of Xiang had no real power because Emperor De did not trust him at all.

The reason why he was sent to garrison Liangzhou was because the soldiers of Liangzhou now followed the King of Xiang back from Yangzhou.

The role of the King of Xiang was to stabilize the morale of the army.

Hearing the urgent military situation, Song Gaozhuo immediately shouted to the guards outside: "Let him in!"

The curtain was opened, and the soldiers who had been shouting all the way walked in quickly, then knelt on one knee, and said in a hurried and panicked voice: "Greetings to the prince, to General Song... Ning Chen led a hundred thousand troops to appear a hundred miles away from Liangzhou."

Song Gaozhuo's face changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly, his knees hit the small low table, and the teacups on the table were overturned.

"What did you say? Say it again!"

"To General Song, Ning Chen led a hundred thousand troops and marched straight to Liangzhou."

Song Gaozhuo's face was full of panic.

Song Gaozhuo was a person from the capital, and he knew too well how terrible Ning Chen was.

He was originally only a thousand-householder of the Weilong Army. When Emperor De was still the prince, he was Emperor De's man, and he had been dormant in the Weilong Army... When Emperor De ascended the throne, he was respected and promoted, and he was also soaring to the sky.

But at this time, he felt like he was about to fall into hell just after flying up.

He looked at the King of Xiang, but saw that the King of Xiang looked calm!

"King of Xiang is so calm, but do you have a plan?"

King of Xiang shook his head and said, "This is expected. Didn't we guess that Ning Chen would attack Liangzhou?"

Song Gaozhuo: "......."

"We did expect Ning Chen to attack Liangzhou, but now the reinforcements have not arrived. There are only more than 70,000 troops stationed in Liangzhou. How can we fight against Ning Chen's 100,000 troops?"

Emperor De issued an order some time ago, saying that he would mobilize the East Border Army to support them... But the reinforcements did not arrive, but Ning Chen's army arrived.

King of Xiang's voice was slightly hoarse: "Tokyo is thousands of miles away from Liangzhou, and it is difficult to get there in a short time."

Song Gaozhuo said in panic: "But we only have more than 70,000 troops at present. How to fight against Ning Chen, does the prince have a plan?"

"Now we can only rely on the strength of the city to keep Ning Chen outside the city and wait for the arrival of reinforcements."

After the King of Xiang finished speaking, he lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and I don't know what he was thinking?

Song Gaozhuo knew very well that the only solution now was what King Xiang said.

He immediately dispatched troops and prepared to meet the enemy.

Fortunately, he still had dozens of cannons and three thousand muskets.

It was not easy to produce muskets and cannons.

Most of the firearms in the capital were brought to Lingzhou by King Wu, but King Wu directly surrendered to Ning Chen.

If not, he would not have to panic.

He did not expect to defeat Ning Chen, but only hoped to stop Ning Chen and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

......

Two days later, Ning Chen led an army of 100,000 to the city.

On the tower, King Xiang and Song Gaozhuo stood side by side.

Song Gaozhuo looked at the endless army of 100,000, his face pale.

He turned his head to look at the cannons and three thousand musketeers deployed on the top of the city, and his heart was a little more at ease.

Ning Chen ordered the army to stay where they were.

This distance was just beyond the range of the cannons.

The army was busy setting up camp.

Ning Chen rode on Diao Chan and looked at the top of the city.

Because the distance was too far, it was not clear.

Ning Chen said lightly: "Old Feng, let someone shout."

"As ordered!"

Feng Qizhen immediately called over twenty shouting soldiers and shouted in unison to Liangzhou: "Convey the order of Emperor Ning, listen to the people of Liangzhou City, we are all Daxuan children, our weapons should be aimed at the enemy, not killing each other.

Emperor De is incompetent and unjust, and he is not worthy of your loyalty... As long as you lay down your weapons and surrender, Ning Chen will be merciful and will never embarrass you. If you are stubborn, wait for my army to enter the city and you will be killed without mercy!"

Twenty or so shouting soldiers shouted over and over again.

On the top of the city, Song Gaozhuo looked ugly.

He knew very well that Ning Chen was hitting their morale.

There was a small commotion among the soldiers on the top of the city.

"Everyone, listen, Ning Chen is trying to disrupt our military morale... Emperor De, who cultivates civil and military skills, is the orthodox emperor of Daxuan.

He Ning Chen is just a traitor who seeks power and usurps the throne. We must not be deceived by him... As long as we hold on for a while, reinforcements will arrive..."

Song Gaozhuo tried to boost morale, but it had little effect.

When he saw Ning Chen, everyone panicked, let alone the ordinary soldiers.

Ning Chen can now be described in a poem, that is...Who in the world doesn't recognize you?

Besides, Ning Chen also brought an army of 100,000 people.

Song Gaozhuo looked at Prince Xiang, "Please say a few words to stabilize the morale of the army... If this continues, the morale of the army will definitely be in chaos."

King Xiang opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.

After a while, he shook his head, sighed, and said: "Ning Chen has been famous for a long time. It is difficult to appease the morale of the army with just a few words from us. Now, we can only do our best and listen to fate. I hope reinforcements can arrive soon." "

Song Gaozhuo's face darkened.

"Your Majesty doesn't seem to care about the outcome of this battle?"

King Xiang twitched the corner of his mouth and did not explain.

Under the city, Ning Chen asked the shouting soldiers to stop shouting.

He himself returned to the camp.

Inside the camp, Feng Qizheng asked impatiently: "Your Majesty, when will we attack the city?"

Ning Chen held the tea cup and said with a smile: "Wait a little longer!"

Feng Qi was saying anxiously: "What are you waiting for? Liangzhou is very close. If we take Liangzhou, we can go to the capital and kill the foolish emperor De."

Ning Chen shook his head slightly, "We are all Daxuan soldiers. It would be best if we could meet each other without fighting... Besides, under the artillery fire, the common people became the fish in the pond.

What I want is Liangzhou, not the loss of life in Liangzhou. "
