"Reinforcements?"
Inside the city of Jinan, Tu Baishou, a group of detectives, and military commanders looked at Wei Yuanji in his nightgown. They all looked at each other, thinking they had misheard.
The White Lotus rebels numbered 300,000 and surrounded the city. The surrounding prefectures were swept away, and Jinan City had become an isolated island.
The reinforcements had to break through the numerous sieges and also penetrate the iron barrel of the 300,000 rebels.
How can it be?
"Where will the reinforcements come from?" asked the Iron Eagle Constable.
The Di army broke through the border wall and entered the city. The ten great detectives of Feiyuwei were urgently summoned back to Beijing. In the bloody battle at Shahe, the elite of the Di army was defeated in one fell swoop.
The Di tribe had just retreated back outside the Great Wall when the White Lotus Rebellion broke out again in Lu.
So eight of the ten great detectives went south in batches. In a battle outside the city of Jinan, the leader of the White Lotus defeated Cao Wenzhao in three moves, and with one move, he transformed beans into soldiers, forcing the most elite Guanning cavalry to flee in a panic. The government army suffered a great defeat and suffered heavy casualties.
Five of the Ten Great Constables were surrounded in Jinan City, two others were killed, and one was missing. Over half of their elite troops were lost. But thanks to them, along with Tu Baishou and six or seven other officers, they were able to hold off the White Lotus Sect leader's offensive.
The word "reinforcements" is the good news that Jinan City wants to hear most right now.
But no one is a fool. The government troops in Linqing City are regrouping and preparing for war, and it will take some time to set off.
Where did the reinforcements come from?
"We came from Liucheng. My cousin, Chang Wen and the cremation team are just ten miles outside the city. There are more than a thousand people." Wei Yuanji said.
"More than a thousand people?" The Iron Eagle Constable's face was full of doubt.
If he didn't know Wei Yuanji well and knew that he was the cousin of Tu Baishou's apprentice Wei Wu, he would have had people drag him out and beheaded him by now.
Anyone who says such nonsense is most likely someone who has defected to the White Lotus Army and is here to defraud us.
If the "reinforcements" want to enter the city, the gate must be opened, and the enemy may be looking for this opportunity.
"Yes, we are few in number and travel light, so it is easy for us to pass through the gaps of the White Lotus rebels. We just need to open the city gates and we can enter the city tonight." Wei Yuanji said.
These days, the Great Immortal Qingniu rewarded him with the skills of night invisibility and rock climbing, allowing him to easily pass through the rebel camp and directly climb over the wall into Jinan City.
The group of detectives and military officers looked at each other, and then turned their gaze to Tu Baishou.
As the second in command of the Feiyu Guard, Tu Baishou's strength is only a step away from external strength. In addition, all seven divine detectives are led by him, and the government army has been in a state of disgrace recently. Naturally, Tu Baishou has become the backbone of Jinan City.
Only Tu Baishou can make this decision.
A thousand reinforcements are too few and will hardly play any role in a frontal siege. No matter what, reinforcements are reinforcements. Not to mention a thousand people, even three hundred people are still reinforcements.
This is especially important for the city of Jinan, which is now continuing to boost morale.
The arrival of reinforcements means that Jinan is no longer an isolated city. The government troops can now deliver forces to Jinan through the encirclement. If they grit their teeth and hold on, they may be able to hold on until the siege is lifted.
This is a "hope" that is invisible and intangible, but has a great impact on military morale.
But at the same time, there are risks. If the reinforcements are deceitful, the consequences will be unpredictable.
After sending Wei Yuanji away, the people in the tent began to discuss in low voices.
Worry and suspicion prevail.
Because it's too unbelievable.
"Captain Tu, what is your decision?" asked the Iron Eagle Constable.
"I'd rather believe it."
Tu Baishou narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "Instead of sitting there in despair, we might as well try our best. We've watched Wei Yuanji grow up, so the rebels shouldn't have any leverage over him."
"Let them enter from the west city, open the inner city gate first, and then open the main city gate after a thorough inspection. Make full preparations and deal with it as if the rebels are going to attack the west gate at night to seize the city." Tu Baishou made a prompt decision.
……
In the second half of the night, a group of more than a thousand White Lotus rebels wearing yellow scarves on their heads arrived at a checkpoint.
"Open the door, we want to go in." Dou Laoliu shouted at the top of his voice.
However, the rebels guarding the checkpoint did not move, and no one responded. It seemed as if no one was stationed at the entire checkpoint.
Dou Laoliu knocked a few more times, but still no one responded.
At this time, Qin He said, "If there's no one here, just open the door yourself."
Dou Laoliu was skeptical, so he asked one of his men to help him jump up and climb over the door.
After a while, the door was opened from the inside.
A large group of people entered the checkpoint and found that all the soldiers stationed there were asleep, and they were very asleep.
And this is just the beginning. There are more than a dozen checkpoints along the way, and they are all like this.
Without causing any noise, the thousand people took advantage of the night and reached the base of the city wall of Jinan.
