When Zhu Dadian and others were in Huangxian, the battle flag was flying outside Dengzhou City, and thousands of troops of the Polu Army surrounded the rebel base camp, literally thousands of troops.
Calling it a siege is a bit far-fetched.
Thousands of people besieged nearly 20,000 people.
It sounds unbelievable, but this is the reality today.
Li Jiucheng stood at the top of Shuicheng with his brows furrowed.
It could even be said that he was a little at a loss.
His simple mind could not cope with this complicated situation.
Li Jiucheng and Li Yingyuan heard about the defeat in Huang County.
After all, many soldiers fled from the Huang County camp, and many of them fled back to the base camp in Dengzhou.
Li Jiuzheng's first reaction was to kill Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai.
He knew how to negotiate peace and appeasement, but when Huang County was defeated, it was like a flower in the water.
At that time, Li Jiucheng decided to take charge of Shuicheng and personally protect Shuicheng's escape route.
Of course, he and Li Yingyuan did not take a boat to go to sea immediately because they still held on to a glimmer of hope, that is, Kong Youde defeated Zhao Lie's obstruction and returned to Dengzhou, so that the two sides would join the ship and go to sea.
Because he still had too few soldiers.
There were more than 10,000 soldiers on the books, but in fact there were only a few thousand soldiers.
The others were miscellaneous soldiers and family members of the rebels.
What can these soldiers do when they go to sea?
Dongjiang still has Huanglong's old troops.
Even if he plans to surrender to the slaves, he still has to break through the obstruction of Dongjiang.
Therefore, he could only wait until Kong Youde could bring back thousands of soldiers and horses, and then he could hope to break through the blockage of the Dongjiang River and head to Dajin.
Furthermore, the larger the number of soldiers, the less important they are to Dajin.
Unfortunately, what Li Jiuzheng finally waited for was the arrival of Zhao Lie's two thousand cavalry troops, and as soon as they arrived in Dengzhou, they immediately cut off the connection between Dengzhou and Dengzhou Shuicheng.
Li Yingyuan was trapped in Dengzhou City, and Li Jiucheng could only look at the ocean in Shuicheng and sigh.
Flags fluttered in the distance, and Zhao Lie's soldiers arrived again.
They were clearly his soldiers in red and black uniforms, and they were the only ones in Denglai.
Li Jiucheng estimated that Kong Youde was finished, otherwise Zhao Lie would never dare to besiege Dengzhou like this.
Once Kong Youde's troops returned to Dengzhou.
Attacked from two sides, Zhao Lie will definitely lose.
Geng Zhongming and Li Yingyuan were looking at Zhao Lie's military formation from the top of Dengzhou City, and their hearts felt cold.
Geng Zhongming felt quite regretful if he did not offer the city. now. . .
What Li Yingyuan was thinking about was how he could rush to Shuicheng to join Li Jiuzheng.
Dengzhou was now dead.
Four miles away, Zhao Lie took a good look at the Dengzhou city defense with a telescope and saw that there were dozens of red cannons and general cannons all over the city.
The city was filled with rebel soldiers.
"Sir, this is a fortified city.
It is not easy to capture."
Huang Han put down his telescope and said.
Now only the rebels in Dengzhou are left in Dengzhou.
Huang Han no longer needs to hold on to Shidao, and now he has come to Dengzhou to join Zhao Lie.
"It's really a fortified city."
Zhao Lie nodded and sighed.
If it weren't for the cooperation inside and outside, it would be impossible for the rebels to capture this fortified city.
Just think about Laizhou City.
The defenses of Laizhou City are far away from Dengzhou, but they stopped the rebels.
Army for more than four months.

The rebels tried their best to break the city.
As for Dengzhou, Zhou Jiuli, the city was more than three feet high and two feet wide, and it was all covered with bricks.
There were more than ten thousand soldiers and dozens of cannons.
At that time, the rebels only numbered tens of thousands, so it was impossible to attack this strong city.
Therefore, Sun Yuanhua was not unjustly imprisoned by the imperial court.
Such was his fate.
"Sir, Tan Ma came to report that the imperial army has arrived in Huang County, and there is not much time left for our army."
Huang Han was also a little worried.
He found that the army that broke up the rebels was just like building slaves to invade the invaders.
Thousands of people could surround the city.
No matter how many soldiers there were in the city, they would not dare to leave the city.
Without him, the Polu army would be invincible in the field.
But it is not easy for the Polu army to capture a big city.
They can't drive the people to attack the city as pioneers like Jiannu did.
If the Polu army attacks the city, the Polu army really cannot afford to lose it.
This time, the Polu army had two infantry troops, three combat troops, and one cavalry troop, with only more than 5,000 troops.
How could they attack the city?
Du Li stepped forward and whispered a few words to Zhao Lie, who nodded in approval.
Geng Zhongming saw that the Polu army had begun to set up camp six or seven miles away, and he knew that Zhao Lie was also afraid of the Hongyi cannon on the city.
He is really not afraid of Zhao Lie attacking the city, but he is afraid that Zhao Lie will not attack the city.
Zhao Lie's small manpower to attack the city will definitely cause heavy losses, but if Zhao Lie does not attack the city and wait for the imperial army to arrive, there will be no luck in Dengzhou. .
But what should he do now?
Run away.
Geng Zhongming returned to the city and immediately ordered the direct lineage in the city to gather gold, silver, and armor to prepare for a breakout.
He estimated that it would take ten and a half days for the imperial army to arrive.
After all, so many people, horses, baggage, and artillery could not march too fast.
It's just that it's not easy to collect this treasure.
The gold and silver treasures looted from more than 20 cities conquered in the past six months are all piled up in Dengzhou's treasury.
It is impossible to take away all these objects, so the screening is also a job, and it will take a day. time.
Of course, someone would have to sneak out at night to contact Li Jiucheng in Shuicheng, and then break through to Shuicheng.
If the gates of Shuicheng were not opened, everything would be over.
At night, Liu Kui, the general guarding the city gate in the east, returned home.
When he came back, he asked his wife to prepare herself and prepare to escape.
Fortunately, there are only mother-in-law and a half-year-old son at home, so things are much more tidy.
Not long after he returned home, he was explaining matters to his mother-in-law when suddenly businessman Lao Yan came to visit.
Lao Yan had gotten a lot of information from him in the past few months, but he didn't care.
Maybe he couldn't sit still when he saw the army siege.
He was leaving anyway, and Liu Kui didn't care about selling him a favor.
"Old Yan, the army is besieging the city now, and we will break out soon.
When the rebellion breaks out, it's better for you and your family to hide away for a while.
Okay, I have something to do at home, so I won't keep you here."
Liu Kui He ordered in a low voice.
In the past few months, he had received hundreds of taels of silver from Lao Yan, and it would be worthy of Lao Yan to help his family avoid the disaster of war.
"Don't be anxious, sir.
Yan is here to give you a fortune."

Lao Yan said with a smile.
Well, this is very ambiguous.
Liu Kui raised his eyes and looked at Lao Yan.
Although Lao Yan was still smiling as before, his back was straight and his demeanor was very different from the previous bending and submission.
What is going on?
Liu Kui looked at Lao Yan carefully.
"This is a member of the 100 households under the command of Mr.
Zhao Lie, commander of Jinghaiwei.
He has been working in Dengzhou for many years."
Lao Yan put away his smile this time and handed over a nameplate.
Liu Kui looked very familiar.
It was the identity plate of the Ming army.
Of course, this thing could be imitated.
"Old Yan, how do you know you are not fake?"
Liu Kui also put away his smile.
He didn't panic at all.
If Lao Yan was immediately hostile to him, it seemed that he wouldn't have to spend so much time and effort in dating for several months.
Especially in the past half month, he had been working in Dongmen, and Lao Yan had been even more diligent.
It seemed that this had happened a long time ago.
Premeditated, could it be the east gate?
. . .
"It's just a tablet.
I have other evidence."
Lao Yan came to the door and whistled.
A dozen people in short clothes suddenly appeared in the night, and they looked around cautiously.
"These are all the manpower I have for Shidao in Dengzhou.
Of course, this is a small part, which is enough to prove the strength of our army."
Lao Yan waved his hand.
These people quickly disappeared into the night.
Liu Kui's eyes almost popped out of his head.
He didn't realize that there were so many people ambushing around his house.
"How about it?
Boss Liu has seen it, can we talk about it?"
Lao Yan said confidently.
"Old Yan, you have set your sights on the east gate guarded by me."
Liu Kui is not stupid.
A fool cannot reach his position.
"President Liu has a burning gaze.
Our army is going to enter the city through the east gate.
If Liu is able to get out of the east gate, my Lord Zhao will not hesitate to reward him."
Lao Yan bowed his hand.
"I know Master Zhao's prestige in Denglai.
He is really a hero who shocked the Ming Dynasty."
Things are changing so fast.
Now Liu Kui is trying to please him and says with a smile, "There are hundreds of soldiers at the east gate, and Liu's soldiers are only a few.

When other soldiers stop them, they will have to fight with each other.
This..."
Since it is a transaction, of course it should be put on the table and negotiated.
"Now that Mr.
Liu is talking about it, Mr.
Yan will explain what your Excellency has said.
Our adults said that if Mr.
Liu goes out of the east gate, he will be rewarded with three thousand taels of silver for his tattoo.
In addition, Mr.
Zhao can keep Mr.
Liu's property safe.
When the time comes, Mr.
Liu will go wherever he wants, and your Excellency will send someone to escort him."
Lao Yan made the matter clear.
"Ahem, cough, cough."
Damn, three thousand taels of silver.
Liu Kui coughed in surprise.
How much silver was this?
Liu Kui calculated it and found that he could still keep it even if he gave each of his subordinates ten taels of silver.
Nearly two thousand taels of silver, enough for his lifetime expenses.
But it is human nature to want to travel to Shu, and Mr.
Liu Bai is not exempt from this habit.
"Ahem, Mr.
Yan, do you think you can find an official position for me under Mr.
Zhao?
I have a large family to support, and I can't just sit back and rest on my laurels."
Liu Kui smiled and held up his hands.
All bent down.
"Haha," Lao Yan glanced straight at him and looked at the three or two kittens at home, "Boss Liu, this Yan can't make the decision.
Yan can only make the decision and give you another five hundred taels." silver."
Boss Liu's request was rejected, and he felt a little unhappy.
I think it would be fine if I gave him a boss of the same level.
Mr.
Zhao, you must be too stingy.
"Mr.
Liu doesn't seem very satisfied.
Why don't you send me to Geng Zhongming?
It will be a great achievement for Mr.
Liu, and then Mr.
Liu can follow Geng Zhongming on a trip to the East River."
Lao Yan said with a smile.
Lao Yan is also like this.
You can care about your official position in the Polu Army without looking at yourself.
To be honest, Du Li was responsible for these coins.
As for Mr.

Zhao, Lao Yan has not seen him at all these days.
Seeing that there was something wrong in Lao Yan's words, Liu Kui didn't dare to hesitate anymore.
"Master Yan, this time it is about your family and your life.
Master Zhao must keep his word."
"Haha, Lord Liu is overly worried.
It's ridiculous for someone like Lord Zhao to go back on his word because of such a small amount of money."
Lao Yan sneered.
"Fuck, it's done," Liu Kui gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, "It's just that Mr.
Yan must keep his word."
Lao Yan rolled his eyes when he heard this
