After time travel, my best friend and I exchanged supplies and became a rich woman

Because the situation was urgent and Ji Chongning knew that Chen Dongyue would definitely not be lost in the city, he did not go back to look for him.

He just urged the soldiers behind him to speed up the carriage.

According to Meng Xiang, the Qi Palace and Anshan Guard will start attacking the north gate of Liaocheng at midnight.

At that time, two cannons will blast open the city gate, and then twenty to thirty thousand troops will rush straight to Prince Kang’s palace.

Ji Chongning's men should have entered Liaocheng through the secret passage of the palace by now.

However, due to the urgency of the matter, we are not at an advantage in terms of the number of people that can be mobilized.

The people Ji Chongning mobilized this time, plus the strong men stored in the palace, the runners of the government office, and the people brought by the Empress Dowager and others, etc.

All in all, the number of people is estimated to be less than 10,000.

However, because they are on the defensive side, they still have some advantages.

I can't say I can fight one against a hundred, but fighting one against three or four shouldn't be a big problem.

However, if the city were to be breached, the situation faced by Ji Chongning and his men would take a sharp turn for the worse.

Although he had sent a letter to Ningzhou, the garrison commander there, Wang Dachuan, was the most loyal supporter of the former prince.

He was once the commander of 200,000 imperial guards.

At that time, he was exiled to the frontier by the emperor because he spoke for the prince in the court.

However, even if Wang Dachuan was willing to protect Ji Chongning.

But even if he wanted to mobilize a large group of people, it would take time.

In addition, Ningzhou is one of the three states in the north, and mobilizing troops requires extreme caution, so it takes more time.

According to the news that Wang Dachuan had previously sent.

Ji Chongning would have to lead his men to guard the city for at least seven or eight days before Wang Dachuan's troops could arrive.

So, this was a tough battle.

The key to this tough battle lies in the city gate!

It was less than an hour before noon.

Hurry, hurry up.

We must destroy Anshanwei’s artillery before the city gate is breached!

When Ji Chongning hurriedly returned to the north city gate again, Geng Hui and Song Ke had already mobilized 80% of the soldiers defending the city.

The Prince of Kang has already returned to the Prince of Kang's Palace.

The palace is now the biggest target of the Prince of Qi and his men, so the Emperor and the Empress Dowager also need to move elsewhere urgently.

Prince Kang had many ideas about small matters but was completely clueless about big matters, so Song Ke asked Prince Kang's son to bring a team of about 200 elite soldiers back to protect the safety of the emperor and others.

The only people who can guard the north gate are Song Ke and Ji Chongning.

Although Song Ke felt that Ji Chongning might not be able to do it.

After all, this man has never fought a serious war.

But... isn't there anyone here now?!

As the tallest among the short ones, Ji Chongning is definitely better than Eunuch Tang from the South Gate, right? !

Thinking of this, Song Ke immediately turned around and called Nan Feng, asking him to take some people to the South Gate to help Eunuch Tang and Prince Yong'an.

If there is any situation, report it back in time.

Nanfeng received the order and immediately selected more than 200 people to prepare to set out for reinforcement.

Dadunzi was still a little unhappy, "Didn't Chengnan say that there were no people attacking? Then how can I perform?"

"...Are you going to leave or not?" Nanfeng pointed at Dadunzi and said, "If you don't want to leave, then leave!"

This is a very cultured statement.

This made Dadunzi wonder whether he should leave or not.

Time was running out and he didn't have time to think for too long, so he was pushed down the city wall by everyone.

After getting down from the city wall, a group of people shouted and asked for military horses, then rode on the horses and ran towards the south of the city.

When Dadunzi came to his senses, everyone was standing on the South City Tower.

The child's reflexes are indeed a little different from those of ordinary people.

At the same time, Ji Chongning had arrived at the north gate with five carts of fireworks.

When carrying the fireworks to the top of the city wall, Ji Chongning discovered that in addition to the fireworks, Chen Dongyue's preparations also included... firecrackers that were incredibly long.

"Did Dongyue give you these things?" Song Ke asked as he looked at the fireworks piled on the city gate.

Ji Chongning nodded.

Then he shook his head and said, "No, I bought it."

"Where did you buy it?" Song Ke asked.

Ji Chongning smiled mysteriously, "This is a secret between Dongyue and me."

"Ji Chongning." Song Ke called out with a dark face.

Ji Chongning did not reply, but just looked back at Song Ke provocatively.

But what he didn't expect was that Song Ke called him because he wanted to ask him something serious, "Have you thought about it? How many death squads should be sent out?"

"Is it possible to send a death squad?" Ji Chongning's expression became serious. "Can't we send scouts to blow up their gunpowder artillery? Look, we already have so much gunpowder..."

"It's very difficult," Song Ke shook his head, "Li Yiming went to explore three times, and each time he could only stop at the woods outside the city. Going further, the guards were very strict.

The key point is that they must have discovered that two prime ministers are missing, so the guarding will be even stricter.

If only one person goes in, it's possible.

What’s more, we are not sure where the artillery and gunpowder are…”

"If you don't know, just burn their camp!"

Chen Dongyue's voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them.

They both turned around at the same time and looked at Chen Dongyue...

"Ah!" Ji Chongning shouted.

"Huh?!" Song Ke questioned.

Chen Dongyue walked up to them and asked, "What's wrong? Am I weird?"

"Not really," Ji Chongning replied, "It's just that bringing a monkey here is a bit strange."

Song Ke also said: "Dongyue, although I know that you like small animals in every aspect, now is not a good time to play with monkeys."

Ji Chongning, who was standing by, suddenly pointed outside the city and shouted, "Something's happening!"

Chen Dongyue looked in the direction Ji Chongning pointed...

In the distance, there was a flickering light of fire gathering towards the city gate.

Can't wait any longer.

Chen Dongyue patted Luo Luo's head and asked, "Playing with fire, do you know how to do it?"

Luo Luo scratched the place where Chen Dongyue had slapped him, then nodded.

"Okay." Chen Dongyue put the monkey on the ground.

Then he put the backpack on Luo Luo.

Song Ke and Ji Chongning saw Chen Dongyue bringing Luo Luo to the horse face, and then said, "Go, Luo Luo!!"

After saying that, she stuffed a peach into Luo Luo's hand.

Luo Luo, holding Tao'er in one hand, politely bowed to Chen Dongyue with his fists, then jumped directly off the horse.

Ji Chongning was so frightened that he screamed "Ah" and immediately lay on the city wall to take a look.

Song Ke also stuck his head out and looked down at the city wall.

The two saw Luo Luo grabbing the bricks on the city wall and sliding down to the bottom of the tower.

Then he carried the basket and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Is it really possible to rely on a monkey?" Ji Chongning turned and looked at Chen Dongyue hesitantly.

Chen Dongyue shrugged and said, "How should I know? Isn't this the first time? But I think Luo Luo is quite human. He should be able to burn people to death."

...........

Ji Song and the other man looked at Chen Dongyue speechlessly.

Forget it.

Let's try it while we can.

However, even if we let the monkeys go, we still need to prepare the death squads that will charge into battle.

We can't really put all our hopes on a monkey, right? !

So Song Ke said to Ji Chongning, "Master Wen, please find some smart people. If the monkey fails, I will lead the team out."

Ji Chongning subconsciously refused, "No, you can't go."

"There's no one else except me." Song Ke said with a wry smile, "You can't go alone, right? If something happens to you, then what are we doing now?"

"How about I go?" Chen Dongyue volunteered.

"No !!!!"

Ji Song and the other man roared at the same time.

Chen Dongyue was almost scared to death.

So she immediately yelled back, "Are you sick?! Why are you yelling at me?! If you guys can't go, I can't go either, so who else is there?! Are we going to let Geng Hui go?!"

After saying that, she pointed at Geng Hui, who had been standing about half a meter behind Ji Chongning.

Ji Song and the other man looked at each other.

Then Ji Chongning asked Song Ke, "How is he? Is he okay?"

"Not impossible." Song Ke nodded, "His skills are no problem. I'll let Li Yiming be his assistant."

"Then how about..." Ji Chongning took two steps towards Geng Hui, then patted him on the shoulder, "Just go ahead."

Geng Hui: ????? ????? ?????
