The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 181 Seventy thousand troops surrounded Shui

Zhang Heizi was able to bring this news, combined with Liu Zhenhua's guess.

The other party is prepared to use quantity to win.

As for dosage, the necessary tactic is encirclement.

The other party is encircling, and it would be a bit foolish for one's own side to spread its manpower.

Moreover, Liu Zhenhua felt that the number of people on the other side might be somewhat beyond his expectation. If they continued to attack Qingyang City, even he might not be able to deal with it.

Liu Zhenhua frowned.

Seeing Liu Zhenhua frowning, Zhang Heizi, who was standing in front of him, felt nervous. Could it be that the information he brought was inaccurate and the Stove King was unhappy.

As for frowning because things are difficult to deal with, in Zhang Heizi's eyes, such a thing is impossible. Are there other things that Stove King finds difficult to deal with?

impossible.

After a while, Liu Zhenhua's brows relaxed, and he thought of a good way.

The opponent's army is tens of thousands, and it is an army mobilized from other places. The food and grass consumed every day is a huge expense.

As long as Liu Zhenhua remains undefeated, this army will drag him down.

The Ming Dynasty could never afford to waste time here with troops of this size.

After some thought, Liu Zhenhua decided not to attack Qingyang, but to stay behind.

Moreover, Liu Zhenhua did not intend to stay in two cities and concentrate all his efforts on defending one city.

Mixed with water is most suitable.

As for the people in Qingcheng, Liu Zhenhua decided to let some people directly join the Xiangyong and become part of the guards of Heshui, while the other part would work in exchange for relief and go to work in Heshui County.

As for the rest, Liu Zhenhua already had an idea in his mind. Since the other party had come up with an empty city plan, he could do it too.

At least the authorities will not attack defenseless people.

He just needs to give some benefits to the people left behind.

"Pass the order."

Liu Zhenhua looked at the Tianbing officials on the side.

"Rush back to the water immediately, and also inform the people in the city," he repeated what he had just thought, and everyone was suddenly surprised.

I don’t know why the Kitchen King did this.

However, this did not affect their quick response and implementation of Liu Zhenhua's orders.

The people in Qingcheng didn't have much resistance. Even when they knew that the Kitchen King still needed someone to come up with an empty city plan, just like the officials last time, they even signed up enthusiastically.

After all, they gained a lot from the last empty city plan.

The Kitchen King treats the people better, loves them like a son, and will not treat them badly.

This situation was somewhat beyond Liu Zhenhua's expectations and made him dumbfounded, but this was also a good thing.

Liu Zhenhua's team quickly assembled, and it took two days to prepare for the selection of the people.

A total of 800 local heroes and 1,000 volunteers were selected.

A group of people, totaling tens of thousands of people, headed towards Heshui.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Qiyu's face looked a little ugly.

Because after the Kitchen King easily captured Qingcheng, there was no movement at all.

There was no intention to attack Qingyang at all.

There was movement outside the government office, and two soldiers entered the government office one after another.

"Don't panic, tell me one by one."

Chen Qiyu thought that the news brought by these two people might be related to why Liu Zhenhua did not send troops.

"The Cavalry Governor, the Henan-Shanxi Army killed a local scout, but the conduct of the army has been exposed."

Chen Qiyu's hands trembled when he heard this. The army had been discovered. The land in Qinzhong was not small. The Kitchen King actually had a special scout force, and the scope of exploration was so large.

It seems that the Kitchen King did not attack Qingyang because he discovered that the army was coming.

Chen Qiyu's expression changed slightly, but soon, his brows relaxed, "Hahaha."

The soldiers under his command looked at Chen Qiyu and suddenly wondered why the governor laughed when he heard the bad news.

That made the soldier's heart tremble, the governor's abnormal behavior,

Could it be that the news he brought there had greatly stimulated the Governor and he would be punished?

The soldier was very worried and knelt on the ground with one knee, cold sweat streaming from his back.

"Okay, okay," Chen Qiyu said three good words in a row, why, because he was very excited at this time.

The Kitchen King learned about the incoming army. If it was just this, Chen Qiyu would not be happy, but combined with the Kitchen King's performance, Chen Qiyu had to be excited.

The Kitchen King did not attack Qingyang because of the news of their army's attack, which proved something. The Kitchen King was afraid.

The Kitchen King knew that if he attacked, he would definitely be defeated, so there was no movement.

Chen Qiyu was in a good mood, and even had a clear mind because of it. He suddenly thought that the Kitchen King's troops might be smaller than he thought.

In the past, he had guessed that the Kitchen King's troops might be more than 10,000 or 20,000, but now, after thinking about it, he found that the Kitchen King's troops might actually be less.

Maybe less than ten thousand.

After all, the Kitchen King's lair is not here, and the total number of the Kitchen King's own troops is only more than 10,000. At present, the number of troops divided is probably only a few thousand.

Thousands of soldiers and horses, facing 60,000 to 70,000 people, who is stronger or weaker can be known at a glance.

Although the Kitchen King has magic weapons, he has no power to recover. Otherwise, the Kitchen King would have come to attack Qingyang long ago and he would not be able to retreat.

"You want to bring me down."

Chen Qiyu was not a fool. He knew that Liu Zhenhua's wishful thinking was based on the dispatch of their army. Food and clothing along the way were all expenses. Such a huge military expenditure would easily lead to collapse.

"Thousands of people, trying to defend two cities."

Chen Qiyu was previously too afraid of the Kitchen King's magical soldiers, so he kept his army dormant, hoping to surround the Kitchen King when he attacked the city.

But now, a series of things have proved that the Kitchen King is actually unable to deal with so many people, and even the magic soldiers can't make up the difference in numbers.

The fact that the Kitchen King cannot shrink back is the best proof. According to the character of the Kitchen King, if he was confident of winning, he would have been eager to send troops.

Where can I wait until now?

"Send the order and send out troops immediately!"

He is going north. Unlike the previous times when the future was uncertain, this time Chen Qiyu is full of confidence.

He could be sure that Kitchen King was definitely not showing weakness to his enemy.

There are basically no places to set up ambush around Qingyang, Heshui, and Qingcheng.

Of course, the access road between Heshui and Qingcheng is not included.

It is impossible for the Kitchen King to ambush.

"Where's the news you brought?"

After Chen Qiyu gave the order, he turned to look at the other soldier.

The latter raised his hands and said, "Governor, the Kitchen King left Qingcheng with his army the day before yesterday, and seems to be heading towards Heshui."

Hearing this, Chen Qiyu frowned.

"How many people are there? Have you found out?"

Chen Qiyu asked hurriedly.

The Kitchen King must be going back to Yan'an directly from Heshui.

It would take a lot of effort for them to pursue and intercept them.

"About two thousand people." The soldier raised his head and glanced at Chen Qiyu. He could only estimate the number of people roughly. Normally, he wouldn't be worried, but he was really scared when he saw the adults crying and laughing just now.

"Hahahaha!"

Chen Qiyu laughed again when he heard this.

"Kitchen King, Kitchen King, you too have today."

This smile made all the subordinates shudder.

What's going on?

Why did the Governor laugh.

Chen Qiyu looked out the door. There was a high probability that the Kitchen King's move was to build a plank road to seduce Chen Cang secretly. He even used this trick. The Kitchen King already knew that Chen Qiyu was no match for him in the frontal battlefield.

If the Kitchen King did this, either there would be an ambush in Qingcheng. As long as his troops entered the city, they would be hit by a wave of attacks from the Kitchen King.

Or, it was an empty city strategy. The Stove King was very clever. During the day, there were only two thousand people leaving the city.

Two thousand people, how many people does the Kitchen King have?

The remaining people either stayed in the city to set up an ambush in the first case, or they took the opportunity to leave at night, giving them the illusion that there was an ambush in the city.

No matter what the situation was, it proved that the Kitchen King was somewhat guilty.

The Kitchen King was afraid. This was the first time he felt this emotion from the Kitchen King.

However, Chen Qiyu frowned. This plan was a naked conspiracy.

He was not sure whether the Kitchen King was using the empty city strategy, or whether he was building a plank road to sneak into Chen Cang and ambush in the city.

However, with the small amount of troops the Kitchen King had, even an ambush could not be achieved.

Feeling reassured, Chen Qiyu turned to look at the soldiers sent by the Shanxi and Henan Army.

"Go ahead and tell them to go straight to Heshui."

No matter what happened to the Kitchen King, Chen Qiyu had already decided, no matter what happened to Qingcheng, he went straight to Heshui. This was a conspiracy of the Kitchen King, and it was also a naked conspiracy of his.

Anyway, Kitchen King has 2,000 men in Heshui. He can win Heshui and achieve results, winning his first victory against Kitchen King.

There are many benefits, not only can it undermine the prestige of the Stove King, but it can also increase the ambition of one's own people.

"Let the myth of the Stove King end here."

Chen Qiyu thought to himself.

The two armies were not far from Qingyang, and they rushed to Heshui as soon as they received the news.

At this time, Heshui was fully prepared for war.

The city wall is constantly getting higher, and the city wall with water has formed a strange state.

Some of the walls were almost sealed, leaving only a hole.

Behind it, there are bullet chains neatly placed.

Yes, this is the shooting hole. Liu Zhenhua left the shooting hole for the Maxim machine gun. In this way, the Maxim machine gun can output with confidence without worrying about the threat of the opponent's bow and arrow.

There are nine Maxim machine guns on the entire Heshui city wall, and the number is still increasing.

Liu Zhenhua estimated that when the opponent is completely encircled, three Maxim machine guns should be allocated to each city wall.

One Maxim machine gun is enough to cover a strategic width of hundreds of meters.

Three units are three hundred meters.

It almost covers the entire city wall of Heshui County. The most important thing is that Liu Zhenhua still has a Maxim machine gun, a gunman, and two artillery pieces.

These are all good things left by the enemy to Liu Zhenhua.

In addition to the tens of thousands of enemies produced, there are also earth mines.

A kind of thing made of gunpowder, glass, etc. Although it is not very powerful, it can definitely cause damage.

Injuring the enemy is enough. As a saying goes, on the battlefield, killing one person is worse than wounding one. When one person is injured, at least two people must look after him.

Although it is generally said that those who were injured on ancient battlefields basically did not survive, there is always a case for everything.

Besides, something like this that will explode if stepped on has never appeared on the battlefield.

Imagine that a large army is approaching, and a sudden explosion occurs during the sprint, which will create huge psychological pressure on the enemy.

On the city wall, there are arrows, crossbows, etc. These things can also cause huge damage when the opponent's personnel are intensively attacking the city.

"Have you heard? This time, the coalition forces from five provinces came to surround and suppress the Kitchen King, with a total of 70,000 people!"

The news has spread, and almost everyone in Heshui County is discussing the news.

Seventy thousand people, this is such a huge number, and only over 8,000 people live in Heshui County.

Counting the surrounding towns and villages, the total population is less than 20,000.

But now, the imperial court has sent out 70,000 soldiers. If you include the transportation of grain and grass, it is estimated to be 100,000.

"Afraid of a ball."

This is the thought of all soldiers, whether they are heavenly soldiers, militiamen or local warriors.

"One of the Stove King's magical soldiers can withstand an army. There are nine of them on our city wall!"

Someone said something and got the approval of most people.

They have seen how powerful the Kitchen King's magic weapon is, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it can allow a mere mortal to withstand thousands of troops.

With such weapons, even if the imperial court sends out 70,000 people, the Kitchen King will not be afraid.

This confidence in the Maxim machine gun has been imprinted on the minds of the soldiers.

After all, even a modern person who sees this weapon for the first time will be shocked by its power, known as the Widow Maker and Infantry Terminator, let alone these ancient people.

It's good enough that he doesn't draw his portrait and stick it on the door as a door god.

"Tsk, tsk, 70,000 people, how many people can be promoted to Heavenly Soldiers? Twenty thousand people can be promoted to Heavenly Soldiers."

Someone calculated on their fingers that if one person kills three, 20,000 people can advance.

"Don't talk about it. Whether you can get the military glory by then is one thing. It is estimated that the military glory will be taken away by the person with the magic weapon."

There was a bit of sourness in someone's words.

They didn't know why the Kitchen King gave the magic weapons to those people who didn't look so outstanding.

However, Kitchen King must have his reasons for doing this.

No one questioned the Kitchen King, no one even thought about questioning the Kitchen King.

Their acid is just acid.

Not to mention jealousy and jealousy.

"Yeah, I just hope we can have some military exploits!"

Compared with whether the Kitchen King could withstand the 70,000 troops sent by the imperial court, what they were more worried about was whether they could obtain enough military merit to advance in this battle.

"Hey, keep training. There is always some use in improvising. Don't kill one less or kill three enough when the time comes. This is the worst thing."

Someone chuckled.

This sentence was echoed by most people.

After all, the worst thing in the world is to die after killing three people before enjoying the treatment of a heavenly soldier for a day. It is more embarrassing and a loss than dying just after getting married and before having sex.

After all, how can a woman compare to a heavenly soldier meal!

Taking out any of the soldiers' meals that day would make their little brother happy in this troubled time.
