East Factory Governor

Chapter 537

Even so, He Renlong's punishment has passed.

However, the next thing needs to be discussed carefully.

After Li Zicheng exchanged Ankang City for a great victory, Gao Yingxiang's forces are now mainly concentrated in the area from Weinan to Shangluo.

Now in the city of Xi'an, there are 4000 cavalry brought by Qin Shuhuai, 7000 troops brought by He Kegang, plus [-] defenders in the city (originally [-]). Xi'an stationed [-] people just in case, so there are [-] people), and more than [-] people who escaped from the defeat in Weinan, a total of about [-] people.

And Gao Yingxiang still has [-] main forces and [-] to [-] allies. Although these allies are usually hidden tightly, if they suddenly appeared, they would be enough to annoy the officers and soldiers. Now they must have followed Gao Yingxiang to Weinan and Shangluo. Therefore, in order to capture these two cities, the strength of the official army is not enough.

Therefore, Qin Shuhuai really wanted to send another [-] soldiers so that he could start a decisive battle with Gao Yingxiang in Weinan and Shangluo.

But the soldiers he can mobilize are really running out.The Demon Cult in Gansu still has [-] soldiers, and he needs to send at least [-] soldiers to guard Xiping in Shaanxi, such as Baoji and Hanzhong.

But Baoji now counts Hong Chengchou's 2 horses, and there are only [-], while Hanzhong has only [-] left, and there are even fewer soldiers in other places. If they are transferred, it will become an empty city.

After all the calculations, only Hong Chengchou could bring [-] to support him.But at this time he should be on the way, and will arrive in a day or two.

In other words, there can be a maximum of 7000 officers and soldiers.

If these 7000 people were to fight with the rogues in the field, Qin Shuhuai was [-]% sure that they would be able to defeat the opponent, but if they went to attack the city, he couldn't guarantee it.

The generals discussed in the room for a long time, and someone proposed to besiege the city, but Qin Shuhuai knew that Huang Taiji from the north might have already attacked Jizhen, so he didn't have time to spend here with Gao Yingxiang.

Nothing can be done.

It has to be said that the impact of Weinan's defeat was indeed too great, and Qin Shuhuai was caught off guard.

After discussing all night, there was no result, so Qin Shuhuai had no choice but to order everyone to go back to rest for the time being, and talk about it tomorrow.

Back in the house, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

These days, he has always felt a deep sense of powerlessness, as if no matter how hard he tried, he could only be a framer, repairing any leaks, but he was completely unable to fix this gorgeous old house full of holes. Rebuild it strong!

The Demon Sect is still alive, the bandits are still rampant, and it's time for Huang Taiji to go south. He, the unrivaled hero that the 1 million people of the Ming Dynasty have been waiting for, sits in the entire martial arts world and is the No. [-] martial arts master of the White Lotus Sect. Failed to achieve a decisive victory!

This country is really rotten to the root!No wonder Chongzhen couldn't save him no matter how hard he tried!

Also, I don't know what happened to Lai San'er and Chen Jing?Since the Demon Cult only captures but not kills, it must be an exchange, right?That's fine, so they can survive anyway, I hope the Devil's Cult doesn't make things difficult for them.

The next afternoon, Hong Chengchou rushed to Xi'an with [-] troops. After hearing the news of He Renlong's tragic defeat in Weinan, his face changed, and he wanted to immediately go to Qin Shuhuai to plead for mercy and save his favorite general.However, Meng Wei told him that apart from He Renlong lying on the bed and unable to move, his life was safe, so Hong Chengchou felt relieved.

Qin Shuhuai heard that Hong Chengchou had arrived, so he convened another meeting with everyone, demanding that a plan for a decisive battle with Gao Yingxiang must be made today, otherwise everyone would not have to go back to sleep.

Now in the governor's yamen in Xi'an, it can be said that there are generals from all walks of life and masters from various factions gathered together.On the court side, there were Hong Chengchou, He Renlong, He Kegang, Meng Wei, Meng Hu, Li Daliang, Wan Yunshan, Zhao Keli, and even Cao Huachun, who was seriously injured, and he came with Hong Chengchou.As for martial arts, Zhiren, Wang Datong, Chang Wuji, Tang Sanniang, Ma Sansao, Sun Bai, Shi Shiming and others were also there.

The people, regardless of their origins, heights, or backgrounds, only discussed and expressed their opinions together, but they also collided with each other a lot.As the saying goes, officers and soldiers have their routines, and martial arts have their methods. Once the two sides combined, they gradually came up with a solution that sounded good.

Hong Chengchou suggested that if he wanted to fight Gao Yingxiang as soon as possible, he had to go straight to Shangluo City, Gao Yingxiang's hometown. As long as the army besieged and attacked the city, Li Zicheng had to send troops to rescue him.Once Li Zicheng left Weinan City, the officers and soldiers would set up ambushes along the way, so Gao Yingxiang would either watch Li Zicheng's troops be wiped out, or lead troops out of the city to fight a decisive battle with the officers and soldiers.

This approach was unanimously approved by all present.

Afterwards, Wang Datong from the martial arts side also put forward his own opinion, that is, a team of martial arts masters sneaked into Shangluo City, first set fire to the city to create chaos, and then took the opportunity to assassinate Gao Yingxiang, then Shangluo City will inevitably be more chaotic.At this time, if the officers and soldiers go to attack the city again, they will surely get twice the result with half the effort.

After everyone listened, they nodded again and again to express their approval.

Qin Shuhuai added that there is a sub-forum of the White Lotus Sect in Shangluo City, you can contact them at that time, and try to get them to help together, the effect will be better!
Afterwards, Tang Sanniang said that since there are a lot of masters sneaking into the city, another poison of the Tang Sect, "Snake and Scorpion Powder", will come in handy.

Everyone immediately raised their ears when they heard this. You must know that Tang Sanniang helped everyone deal with nearly ten thousand Demon Sect soldiers with ease last time, so when they heard that Tang Sanniang had gone the other way, they were immediately full of interest.

Tang Sanniang continued, the so-called "snake and scorpion powder" is mainly refined from the toxins of the five-step snake and the poisonous scorpion of the Western Regions, together with Tangmen's exclusive ingredients and refining methods, a very fine poisonous powder is brewed. Just sprinkle it and it will flutter in the wind. Anyone who enters the mouth, nose, or eyes will surely burst into tears in a short period of time, and their eyes will be temporarily blind.If when attacking the city, a group of masters can take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to jump up to the top of the city and sprinkle these poisonous powders on the enemy defending the city, then it will definitely disturb the enemy.

Everyone almost uttered the word "miao" aloud when they heard it, but because of their face, they could only nod slightly reservedly.

Qin Shuhuai also immediately imagined the scene of a group of masters performing lightness kung fu, spraying poison on the top of the city like a helicopter spraying pesticides, and couldn't help but want to applaud!
The decisive battle plan was gradually perfected in everyone's words.This plan combines the practical and down-to-earth wisdom of the people in the martial arts, and also incorporates the formal and systematic tactical thinking of the people in the imperial court. When it came out, it turned out that everything from the overall situation to the details was covered. Everyone couldn't help being surprised Hi again!

As the saying goes, there is great power in numbers, and it seems to be true!
Now that the plan is in place, act now!
The decisive battle with Gao Yingxiang is about to start!
