But so far, there has been no news of any support.
"No reinforcements!"
Beside him, Qizhou Captain Qiao Teng looked gloomy, and said through gritted teeth, "General, a dozen batches of messenger soldiers have been dispatched, and it stands to reason that they should have arrived in Jizhou long ago."
"Continue to send people!"
Li Changge shouted coquettishly: "Qizhou must have reinforcements!"
There are no more than [-] soldiers in Qizhou who are still fighting.
As for the Dongying warriors who attacked the city, there were at least 5 people.
The most important thing is that these Japanese warriors like to play dirty.
These days, Qizhou has taken in many refugees and refugees.
And among them, there are many Japanese spies mixed in.
These spies are not only proficient in Chinese, but also have a certain understanding of Tang culture.
In addition, the appearance is basically the same as that of the Han people, so it is hard to guard against.
It is also because of this that the deployment of troops in Qizhou, as well as the situation of food, grass and weapons, were reported to the leader of Dongpu early on.
This is the main reason why Qizhou is so difficult to defend the city.
"Where did the reinforcements come from...hehe..."
Qizhou Captain Qiao Teng laughed at himself: "There are no reinforcements!"
"General, we have been abandoned."
Desperate to protect Qizhou.
What he got in return was betrayal.
How cruel this result was for them.
Li Changge clenched the spear in his hand, his eyes were red.
How could she not understand.
From Jizhou to Qizhou, the journey is only half a day.
But days passed.
If there are reinforcements, they can go back and forth a few times.
"Fight to the death!"
Li Changge let out a loud shout, and then charged away.
……
Jizhou.
City Lord's Mansion.
"Absolutely not!"
Li Ke's face was distorted, and he said firmly: "Jizhou must not divide its troops to support Qizhou!"
"Your Highness, it will be too late if you don't go!" Qin Qiong said anxiously.
"General Qin, are you questioning my mighty general of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Ke narrowed his eyes slightly, "with Li Changge here, Qizhou must be safe and sound!"
"But if Jizhou divides troops to support Qizhou, what should we do if the Turkic army turns back?"
"Can you stop the Turkic army of 10,000+?"
"Your Highness!"
Qin Qiong gritted his teeth and said, "Your ghost mask has been hanging on the city wall for two days, but why haven't you seen the ghost rider?"
Chapter 280: Crazy Plan - Capture Ghost Rider!
Qin Qiong looked at Li Ke angrily.
According to what Li Ke said before, as long as you hang the ghost mask on the city wall, the ghost rider will take the initiative to contact you.
But two consecutive days passed, but there was not even the slightest movement.
Where is the ghost ride?
Simply nonsense!
Li Ke's face was not very good-looking, and he said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect this to happen, this ghost rider dared to deceive me, it is unforgivable!"
After a pause, he continued: "But no matter what, Jizhou must not divide the troops. There is no room for negotiation on this matter!"
"Your Highness!"
Qin Qiong frowned and said: "According to reports from the spies, the Turkic army has withdrawn to Dingzhou, and it will take at least five days to attack Jizhou again. In these few days, it is enough for Jizhou soldiers to support Qizhou to repel Dongying, and then rush back to Jizhou .”
"Qin Qiong!"
Li Ke said with a gloomy expression: "I am the prince, who has the right to decide all actions in Jizhou. You are just a general, just follow orders, no need to say anything!"
Qin Qiong continued: "Your Highness, don't you understand the reason why lips are dead and teeth are cold?"
"Once Qizhou is occupied by Dongying, we, Jizhou, will be under the enemy's back and forth. At that time, the front line will collapse, and the army will be defeated like a mountain, and everything will be over!"
"What do you know?!"
Li Ke said impatiently: "Even if the father is here, I think he will make the same decision as me. The matter of Jizhou is very important, and there must be no mistakes!"
At this moment, messenger soldiers hurried in.
"Your Majesty's imperial decree! The prince accepts the decree!"
The sudden change made everyone look stunned, and then knelt down one after another.
"The minister accepts the order!"
"It is the Holy Majesty's decree that the prince and the ghost cavalry will be dispatched together. Jizhou will divide [-] troops and go to Qizhou for support!"
"what?!"
A trace of panic and shock flashed in Li Ke's eyes.
He never expected that in order to support Qizhou, Li Er actually issued an imperial edict.
How can this be good?
Where can he summon ghost riders?
But without ghost riders, with 1 people, it is difficult for him to have much influence on the battle situation in Qizhou.
Li Ke had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but on the surface he accepted the imperial edict calmly.
"Since the imperial father issued an imperial decree, I have no choice but to obey it!"
Li Ke sighed.
Hearing this, Qin Qiong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "It's better for Your Highness to stay in Jizhou, and I will take people to Qizhou to support at the end."
"Do you want to protest?"
Li Ke said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty's will is to let me lead [-] troops to support, and General Qin should guard Jizhou to prevent the Turks from attacking the city."
"This... ok!"
Qin Qiong frowned, and he was still not at ease with Li Ke.
"It's not too late, I'm going to make preparations now, and we'll leave in an hour!"
After Li Ke finished speaking, he immediately went out and left.
As soon as he went out, a glint of haze flashed in Li Ke's eyes.
"Your Highness, are you really going to Qizhou for support?" Yunlong suddenly appeared and asked with a frown.
"Of course not!"
Li Ke sneered: "Father emperor specially issued an imperial edict for this, which shows that Qizhou is full of dangers. Isn't it courting death if we go?"
"What's more, Li Jing and his daughter are constantly involved with Li Xiao. They are my number one enemy. I have long wanted to get rid of them!"
"understood."
Yunlong nodded, and then disappeared again...
Next, Li Ke led an army of [-] troops and set off from Jizhou to Qizhou.
On the way, Li Ke gave a series of instructions.
He dispersed the army and sent it to the southwest of Qizhou, guarding every necessary road.
He has a crazy plan - to capture the Ghost Rider!
As long as the ghost rider appears, go to Qizhou for support.
He will be able to spot the traces of ghost riders immediately.
Then the [-] army surrounded the ghost rider by surprise.
Don't ask to catch everyone.
Even if only a few are caught.
As long as he can understand the source of the ghost cavalry's powerful combat power, the plan this time will be considered a success!
……
At the same time, in a forest dozens of miles south of Jizhou.
The figures of thousands of ghost riders surged.
The leader is Xue Rengui.
"Master Commander!" A scout came to report, "A hidden Jizhou soldier was found five miles ahead."
"what happened?"
Xue Rengui frowned slightly, and murmured: "Why did the soldiers from Jizhou appear here?"
This place belongs to the south of Jizhou and is behind the front line.
At present, Datang is at a time when troops are in short supply, so why are there still surplus troops stationed here?
Xue Rengui immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Should be looking for us again." Wang Qingxue looked angry, "Not going to support Qizhou, but wasting troops to deal with us, it's just stupid!"
"Don't care about them, let's go to Qizhou!" Xue Rengui said thoughtfully, "If they dare to interfere, they can be killed!"
"set off!"
"As ordered!"
Thousands of ghost riders mounted their horses one after another after eating and drinking, and galloped towards the east.
……
the other side.
"Have you found any traces of the ghost rider?"
Li Ke stood up with a look of surprise.
"Good! Great!"
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
The personal guard frowned and said: "Ghost riders are famous for their speed and strong combat power. Our people may not be able to stop them."
"madness!"
Li Ke sneered and said: "At this time, they can only go to Qizhou to support them."
"As long as they know their goals, there are only a few routes."
"Besides, they are all cavalry, they can only take the road, and it is impossible to abandon their horses and take the trail."
"As long as the road ahead is blocked, they will be unable to escape!"
