"What General Zhang said is reasonable. Do others have any opinions?" Before the others could speak, Zhang Zongheng suddenly spoke up and asked at the same time.

The rest of the people, look at me, and look at you, and they were speechless for a moment. The reality is obvious. The camps outside the city are much easier to beat than the tall and strong city walls of Jiexiu. Persimmons still have to be picked up and pinched, so they all

Expressing agreement. Only Cao Wenzhao showed a strange look on his face.

Cao Wenzhao was able to reach this position today, naturally, not just because he was brave enough to fight and rush, but more because he was good at thinking and extremely outstanding strategies. By the time the other generals were ordered by Zhang Zongheng

, after leaving the big tent.

Cao Wenzhao walked around outside the tent and waited for the others to walk away, but returned and entered Zhang Zongheng's big account. In the tent, the two conspired for a long time and waited until dark. Cao Wenzhao

With a little tiredness and a brighter look, he hurriedly walked away.

Inside the city.

Although Gao Yingxiang agreed after Pei Xiaoer's repeated "persuasion" and half-spoken, he stayed behind Jie Xiu with Pei Xiaoer to do his part in defeating the official army. However, Pei Xiaoer did not

He neglected him and specially assigned a wide area in the city with neatly equipped military camps to Gao Yingxiang for stationing. Moreover, the food, meat and other items used by the Pei family army were all given to Gao Yingxiang.

The soldiers under Gao Yingxiang welcomed them during this period. Since the rebellion and as a thief, it has been the most beautiful time. They don’t need to practice every day. They sleep until they wake up naturally. After waking up, there are steaming steamed buns for breakfast.

I will take a little activity in the morning and eat it, and it will be noon.

He didn't have to worry about the king at noon. The soldiers of the Pei family brought the prepared lunch here, including noodles, rice, vegetables, etc., and even a meal of meat every now and then. This day was simply for a landlord.

Not to change.

However, the Pei family army's meticulous care did not bring true help from Gao Yingxiang. In fact, after leaving the banquet, he began to repent in his heart when he returned to the military camp, but because Pei Xiao Er soldiers and generals were large,

With all the troops and armor, he had to surrender to Pei Xiaoer. But from his heart, he always thought about leaving Pei Xiaoer and escaping from heaven.

Especially over the past period of time, countless food, armor, weapons and other materials have been continuously transported from the rear to Jiexiu, allowing Gao Yingxiang, the mud-legged man, to fully understand what logistics is, what wealth is, and what is

War potential.

These were completely different from when he was in Shaanxi before. At that time, he was the real one. He had no meals and was worried all day long. He ate all the food, soldiers, and other things he ate, no matter what food, weapons, etc.

It was not "borrowed" from the people passing by. The people hated them to the core, ran away when they saw them, and called them thieves behind their backs. Where was Pei Xiaoer the freedom to take over the side and dominate the king?

At night, Gao Yingxiang couldn't help but think secretly. If Pei Xiaoer had unfortunately died in Jiexiu's battle with the officers and soldiers, and then in this case, the generals of the Pei family in Pingyang Prefecture had no leader and would have attacked each other. At this moment,

If he defeated Guang's soldiers and avenged Pei Xiaoer, then if he occupied the righteousness and rectified the scattered Pei family army, this huge family business might become his own. Whenever he thought of this, Gao Yingxiang was even excited all night

sleep.

On the morning of the third day after the officers and soldiers arrived in Jiexiu, the rumbling drums suddenly sounded from the officers and soldiers' camps, and the sound of desolate horns enveloped the entire earth.

The officers and soldiers slowly gathered in these horns, and then lined up to walk out of the camp in an orderly manner with the officers shouting, and began to gather in Jiexiu and outside the camp next to them.

Pei Xiaoer, Gao Yingxiang, Liu Changle and others climbed to the head of Jiexiu City and saw the movements of the officers and soldiers from afar. They saw the officers and soldiers divided into two groups, including 30,000 infantrymen, and cooperated with 10,000 cavalry to stare at Jiexiu City.

The remaining 40,000 people gathered outside the camp. Not only that, a series of engineering equipment such as Fran machine cannons and red-clothed cannons carried by the army were all placed outside the camp.

Pei Xiaoer immediately realized that the main attack direction of the officers and soldiers was Pei Zhuer's troops outside the city. But he did not dare to leave the city rashly. According to the information brought by Gao Yingxiang, there were only more than 30,000 officers and soldiers, and Pei Xiaoer

Looking at Gao Yingxiang's flashing eyes, he felt that Gao Yingxiang had the intention of concealing the strength of the officers and soldiers, and unconsciously raised the number of officers and soldiers. However, Pei Xiaoer estimated that even if he tried his best to overestimate the strength of the officers and soldiers, the number of officers and soldiers should not exceed 60,000.

people.

If there were 60,000 officers and soldiers, and on his side, there were 30,000 people under Pei Zhuer, plus 10,000 people under Liu Changle's army, plus the 3,000 cavalry he carried, and 20,000 people under Gao Yingxiang's army, these people

Together, there were more than 60,000 people. In terms of military strength, the rebel army could at least compete with the officers and soldiers.

But Pei Xiaoer never expected that he still underestimated the strength of the officers and soldiers. Now there are 80,000 officers and soldiers who have arrived at the city. So many troops can completely see Jie Xiu and the camp outside the city tightly at the same time, so that Pei Xiaoer can

All plans are destroyed. Gao Yingxiang deserves to die. Pei Xiaoer glanced at Gao Yingxiang without any trace. He saw the other party staring at the officers and soldiers outside the city with a waxy expression. He said nothing, as if the officers and soldiers' strength was also out.

His expectations.

In the face of the great enemy, Pei Xiaoer could not ask Gao Yingxiang for guilt now. You should know that in the city, Gao Yingxiang has 20,000 people under his command, even more than his own troops. If a conflict arises at this time, then he has not yet waited for the officers and soldiers.

After attacking Jie Xiu, Jie Xiu would finish it first. Pei Xiaoer could only hold this anger in his heart and report it when he had any effect.

Just as Pei Xiaoer was meditating, the officers and soldiers' artillery was first launched, and hot shells bombarded the camp bars.

Fortunately, when the camp was established, Pei Xiaoer thought of guarding against artillery by officers and soldiers. Others may not know how to guard against cannons. Pei Xiaoer has learned a lot in later generations through some film and television dramas, and this is also true.

It's one of the few experiences he brought over.

Bags of sand were packed with mud and sand. After the camp was built, it effectively blocked the impact of the shells and protected the lives of the soldiers of the Pei family army behind the camp.

At the same time, the artillery soldiers of the Pei family who were left in the camp also began to roar and fired at the gathering place of officers and soldiers' cannons. However, the sight of the cannons in this era was really touching. After four or five rounds, one was destroyed.

The officers and soldiers' cannons. The efforts and benefits are not proportional to the benefits. Ren Mingdao had no choice but to order the artillery of the Pei family army to change direction and fire in the crowded areas.

However, most of the officers and soldiers were outside the range of artillery soldiers. The Pei family army originally had dozens of cannons, only three or four of them could reach them. However, after two rounds, the officers and soldiers shrank back and were completely out of reach.

.Seeing this situation, Ren Mingdao could only order the fire to stop and preserve his strength and wait for the officers and soldiers to attack.

In the past, the artillery soldiers who had been ruined by ten miles after dozens of rounds were found that the barracks of the Pei family army camp were still solid, with only the surface of the wood being smashed away, and the others were unscathed, and they all began to show unbelievable things.

Eyes. There were even rumors in the army that the thief army was in trouble, and the officers and soldiers could not defeat the thief army, and the artillery fire stopped.

Zhang Zongheng naturally would not think that the thief army was protected by the demons, but he could not imagine why the thief soldiers could resist the cannons of officers and soldiers. However, he believed that under his army, all the ghosts and monsters would be destroyed. So he waited for the killing.

After the officer and soldier who was infatuating the crowd, Zhang Zongheng ordered the halting of artillery attacks and the infantry was touched.

Immediately, at the order of Zhang Zongheng, five thousand infantrymen arranged dense formations and slowly moved towards the camp. The officers and soldiers had just been far away and could not reach them. Now the officers and soldiers came to the door on their own initiative, Ren Mingdao would not be polite.

At that moment, Ren Mingdao ordered dozens of cannons to fire together. The speeding shells plowed in the crowd, except for dozens of bloody roads, and the five thousand officers and soldiers instantly lost nearly a thousand people. The remaining officers and soldiers had a broken mentality and went straight to the
