Iron Dynasty

Qi Guangyi led the cavalry to stop in front of a deserted village.

Since they left Yunzhou, they have been searching for victims in Jizhou and guiding them to Yunzhou, Qingzhou and other places.

These days they have achieved good results and have guided many disaster victims.

It was noon, and Qi Guangyi was going to let the soldiers rest and feed the horses with fodder.

At this moment, a hussar galloped from a distance and said urgently: Lieutenant, we found a large number of chaotic troops ten miles away, and they seem to be heading towards Yunzhou City again.

Qi Guangyi took out the steamed buns from the bag on the horse's back and prepared to eat. He immediately stuffed the steamed buns back and shouted to the soldiers, All gather, come with me.

After all, Qi Guangyi reined in his horse and followed the hussars to Guting Village, ten miles away.

On the map, there is only such a village ten miles away.

The cavalry immediately assembled. The reason why Niu Ben handed over so many cavalry to him was because he was afraid that they would encounter a chaotic army.

But now he can't care about it anymore. At this time, the Qingzhou army has already gone to Jizhou. If Yunzhou city is besieged by the rebel army, the Qingzhou army will lose its supply line.

These crazy hungry rebels don't care whose transportation line this is.

The soldiers quickly mounted their horses and followed Qi Guangyi to Guting Village.

After arriving at Guting Village, Qi Guangyi and the soldiers were silent for a while. On the official road leading to Yunzhou City, the dense chaotic army was slowly moving.

The chaotic army could not see the end from the south to the north, and the mighty force made one's scalp tingle.

Lieutenant, look, that's the banner of the Blue Dragon King, said a soldier.

Qi Guangyi picked up the binoculars and looked over. Sure enough, the marching procession was filled with the banner of the Blue Dragon King. In front of the procession were people with various weapons, while in the back of the procession were people with bags and wheelbarrows.

It's just that there is very little food and grass in the car.

There must be 300,000 to 400,000 people. A general's collar was full of worry, Yunzhou City is not Cangzhou City, the city wall is no more than five meters, and the defenders are no more than ten thousand people, what can we do?

Qi Guangyi's brows furrowed, Send someone to inform His Highness and the Governor immediately, it is too dangerous for so many people in chaos, this Qinglong King is self-respecting by wrapping up the people, no one knows what he thinks, if he is a loyal person, he can still persuade him to let go. These people put down their weapons and surrender to our Highness, if this Blue Dragon King Langzi has ambitions, it will be dangerous.

The rest of the generals nodded.

Qi Guangyi hesitated for a moment and said, Now we will immediately withdraw to Yunzhou City in case of an accident.

After that, he turned his horse's head and headed for Yunzhou City from another official road.

A day later, the news reached the Governor's House.

Hearing this news shocked Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang.

His Royal Highness, if 300,000 chaotic troops besiege Yunzhou City, the supply line of Governor Niu will be in danger. We must ensure that Yunzhou is safe and sound.

Xiao Ming also realized the seriousness of this problem.

This Qinglong King is not only King Yong, no one understands his character, but only knows that this Qinglong King led the chaotic army to conquer several cities and opened granaries in the city to relieve the victims.

And because of this feat, more and more people in Jizhou joined the Qinglong King's subordinates. Now it is said that the Qinglong King's subordinates numbered 50,000 to 600,000.

This king understands, but no one knows what the Blue Dragon King's plan is. If the Blue Dragon King's old trick is repeated, what should we do if the city that is going to conquer the fief opens its warehouses?

Zhan Xingchang said sternly: If the Qinglong King has bad intentions, they are rogues. When His Royal Highness sent troops to resist the barbarians, the Qinglong King commanded Yunzhou City. This is not a chaotic minister or a thief!

Xiao Ming nodded. If the Qinglong King disregarded the righteousness of the nation and only for his own well-being and wealth, he would not have to be merciful.

This month, the military workshop delivered another 3,000 flintlock guns. He said to Zhan Xingchang: The city of Yunzhou is of great importance. The time does not wait. Tomorrow we will lead 3,000 musketeers to the city of Yunzhou.

Although the 3,000 muskets had just been delivered, the soldiers in the Qingzhou Camp had only been training for about a week.

But these soldiers are all elites who participated in the battle of Cangzhou, not pure recruits.

The next day, he and Zhan Xingchang personally led the troops to Yunzhou City.

Because it was an infantry trek, they didn't arrive at Yunzhou City until three days later, and according to Qi Guangyi's news, the Qinglong King's people were about to leave the city.

Arriving at Yunzhou City, Xiao Ming immediately checked the local garrison. There were 6,000 soldiers in Yunzhou, 5,000 of Qi Guangyi's cavalry, and 14,000 of his own 3,000 musketeers.

Among them, Qi Guangyi's cavalry and his own musketeers were all elite, and the 6,000 Yunzhou soldiers were not weak, so he felt a little at ease.

It's just that the city wall is really short.

Looking at the Yunzhou City Wall, which is only five meters high, Xiao Ming frowned. Yunzhou City is just a small city, but now this small city is the lifeblood of logistical supplies.

It was already evening, and the news came more and more frequently. Every time the news came back, the chaotic army would arrive immediately.

Just when the sun was only showing a faint afterglow on the horizon, Xiao Ming saw the overwhelming crowd of people.

These people continued to the end of the horizon, looking down at a high altitude like an army of army ants.

Such a huge lineup immediately made the defenders at the head of the city feel heavy pressure.

Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang looked at each other with deep worry in their eyes.

The people stopped ten meters outside the city of Yunzhou. The wide official road outside the city was covered with people with various weapons. These people stared indifferently at the defenders at the front of the city.

Master Jun, open the door. Didn't you say that Yunzhou City gathers the people? We are all the people of Jizhou. We are starving to death and want to go to the city to eat.

A tall man took a few steps forward when he saw the young man on his shoulders, and a loud hoarse voice sounded.

You can enter the city, but you must put down your weapons and enter the city in batches.

Qi Guangyi replied loudly.

Master Jun, the weapons in our hands are to fight corrupt officials. What are you so afraid of? Don't say more, let's open the door. These hundreds of thousands of people can expect to eat in the city tonight.

The young man snorted and his eyes became sharp.

Qi Guangyi raised his eyebrows coldly. They were all people who had fought directly with the barbarians, so how could they be afraid of a bunch of chaotic people.

He was about to speak when Xiao Ming suddenly said: Where is the Qinglong King, can you let him speak to this king before the battle?

This king? Who are you? the young man asked.

A certain is Xiao Ming, King of Qi. Xiao Ming's voice was bright, and the people below were all the people of the Great Yu Kingdom. He didn't want to kill each other unless it was a last resort.

King Qi! The young man showed a stunned look.
