In the West Camp and the North Camp, the killing sounds were loud and the screams could not be heard. Only in the South Camp, the silence was terrifying.
The two armies faced each other, one black and one white, with only a wall of fire between them.
The black and white here refer to hair.
Hu Baozong's soldiers all wore black armor and iron helmets, so they were naturally black.
There is only a wall between the monks and soldiers, but their bald heads are white and dazzling.
South of the wall of fire, you can occasionally hear the sound of horses hoofing and soldiers coughing, but on the other side, except for the "peep" sound of flames burning wooden pillars, there is no noise at all?
At least forty or fifty steps away, you can't see the expressions of the monk soldiers, but you can feel a chill in the military formation when they all stand still, like sculptures. There hasn't been a trace of movement for almost half an hour.
The energy rushed to my face.
Even the mobs scattered around the monk formation were like walking corpses, not listening to any unnecessary sounds.
He was seen holding a wooden torch in his hand, walking back and forth along the wall of fire, as if he was just waiting for the flames to go out before he would rush out of the camp and kill them.
These chaotic people seem to have regarded these two thousand black-armored soldiers as objects in their hands and food in their mouths...
Hu Baozong's eyes were beating wildly and his scalp was numb.
He had only seen such a large military formation with such a lineup before: Li Chengzhi's White Armored Army.
Today's one is the second time...
Elite, absolutely elite...
Hu Xin's expression had already changed, for fear that if the flames were any weaker, these monk soldiers would rush up to kill him.
He took a deep breath, leaned in front of Hu Baozong, and reminded him in a low voice: "Colonel Lieutenant, what if we don't let off another rocket?"
"Don't panic, don't move... wait until you really dare to rush forward, and then cum for grandpa..."
Hu Baozong gritted his teeth and lowered his voice and shouted, "If you use such a powerful weapon, you need to use one less. Even Li Chengzhi doesn't have much. If you can save it, save it..."
As he confessed, Hu Baozong was already scolded in his heart.
Li Chengzhi, are you really good at picking?
Knowing that grandpa is the weakest, you still leave the strongest bandit to me?
Just replace it with Li Liang’s chariots and soldiers?
When I came, they repeatedly ordered me not to go deeper?
Can you really look up to me?
Fortunately, I had enough rockets when I came...
When he thought of the Rockets, Hu Baozong was shocked and suddenly gained a lot more confidence.
Good guy, this thing is so powerful that it can’t even be quenched by water?
Why is it that Li Chengzhi has so many weird, yet mind-numbing good things in his hands?
What about the tough soldiers?
Unless these monks are made of iron from the inside out...
Probably because they are also concerned about the power of rockets, Fa Neng only restrains the generals of the various armies. They are not allowed to disperse without permission, let alone take the initiative to attack.
In addition, he was still suspicious that the reason why the enemy was standing still through the wall and watching the fire was a ploy to lure the enemy?
One mile behind him was the Dharma King's tent, and he didn't dare to be careless at all...
If Hu Baozong knew about it, he would laugh out loud.
Grandpa is not calm at all, he is clearly timid...
……
The corner of the rebel south camp is the intersection of the two walls in the southwest of the city. I don’t know whether they are afraid of being overwhelmed by the black armored army, which will cause the whole army to collapse, or whether they are afraid of being killed by the opportunity. When there was a sudden movement in the south camp, the rioters here
They were all moved to the village by Fa Neng.
Zhoucheng, which had been besieged for two months, saw such silence under the city wall for the first time.
The city head in the southwest corner was densely packed with people, all staring at the huge white tiger flag not far away, trembling with excitement.
The west belongs to Yin, and the five elements belong to gold, so the white tiger battle flag should be used, which corresponds to Longdong County to the west of Jingzhou... This is clearly the commanding flag of Longdong County soldiers.
What's more, on one side of the handsome flag, there is another embroidered tooth flag with a big "Hu" written on it...
Then who else can be the chief general of Longdong County?
Hu Shichang's eyes were already red and he was breathing heavily. After looking at it for a long time, he asked the assistant officer beside him: "Hu Zhong, look carefully. Is the commander Baozong?"
"This is Mr. Sun Langjun of Haoming Gong (Hu Hai). I will never mistake him..."
Chang Sui was already filled with tears of excitement, "Shi Jun, God has opened my eyes..."
More than just opening my eyes, God bless my Hu family...
Hu Shichang couldn't stop trembling, his hair and beard began to shake wildly. He held his hands on the wall and wanted to shout at Hu Baozong twice.
Chang Sui looked around and saw that there were indeed no rioters or mobs in the city. He couldn't help but say excitedly: "Mr. Shi, seeing the strength of Xiao Langjun's troops, the thieves actually retreated. This is obviously because they are timid to fight... If not, Lord Shi had given the order to dig open the city gate as soon as possible and order all the soldiers from the state to come out... If we had joined forces with Lord Xiaolang, we would have defeated the monks and thieves..."
"Master Shi, the city gate cannot be opened..." Wang Yu, the governor of Anding County on the side, exclaimed and stared at Chang Sui closely, as if throwing knives in his eyes, "Hu Jishi, do you remember that in Beicheng yesterday?
Li Huaide’s sincere words?”
Is this city gate so easy to open?
Did your eye tremble when you saw the monk and thief?
It was clearly a confrontation, making it clear that no one could do anything about it.
Besides, compared to the military strength, the black cavalry is only half of the monks and thieves. Even if it is half a horse and half a car, don't forget that the monks and thieves still occupy the geographical area...
Hu Chongguan Xiao, to put it bluntly, was just a secretary. He did not dare to argue with Wang Yu. He wanted to persuade Hu Shichang again, but Hu Shichang waved his hand slightly: "The city gate still cannot be opened..."
Hu Zhong didn’t know about military matters, but how could he not?
Since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, there have been constant wars, and rebellions have occurred frequently in various places. Just like eating and drinking, there may be hundreds to eighty rebellions a year.
Therefore, county soldiers have been prepared since the beginning of the rule. County soldiers also have county soldiers, and states have state soldiers. There are many soldiers. In the smallest state, the number of state soldiers should be three thousand.
The military power is naturally controlled by the chief officer, so let alone the governor, if you don't know the art of war and military affairs, you won't even be able to be an eighth-grade county magistrate.
Not to mention Li Shixian's repeated reminders yesterday, Hu Shichang himself also knew very well that it was not the time to open the city gate yet.
He pondered for a moment, then pointed to the soldiers and said: "Send the order, let Baozong come to the city to see you..."
"Master Shi, please don't..."
Wang Yu urged him hurriedly, but he was only halfway through his words when Hu Shichang glared back coldly.

"Junzhao himself has seen the power of Baozong's rockets, so the thieves naturally dare not move. What's more, the city is only twenty or thirty feet away from the military formation. It will arrive in an instant, and there are guards to protect it. The monk
The thief definitely dare not take advantage of the situation and hurt Baozong..."
The Anding County Sheriff's eyelids jumped: Governor Hu was so excited that he lost his head. What if there is an ambush by the traitors?
When you shout, even a fool will know that the person you invited is definitely not an ordinary person. How can he not know how to intercept and kill him?
This is because they are afraid that Hu Baozong will not die quickly enough...
If something happens to Hu Baozong, it will not only destroy your clan nephew Hu Cishi, but also the hope of the entire city's soldiers and civilians to survive...
But Hu Shichang was clearly angry, so how could he dare to persuade him again?
From time to time, more than a dozen messengers stood at the top of the city and shouted at Hu Baozong:
"Baozong, please come and meet us at the city gate..."
"Baozong, please come and meet us at the city gate..."
The sweat on Hu Baozong's head was about to drop, and he cursed in his heart: Shall I fuck your eldest mother?
Before leaving, Li Chengzhi's warning seemed to still be lingering in his ears: If you dare to contact the city without permission, don't blame me for being rude...
It's also to blame that Hu Baozong was selfish, thinking that if he was closer to the city, Hu Shichang would naturally be able to see his handsome flag, which would give him peace of mind.
So he rushed to the city with all his strength. Who knew that Hu Shichang really wanted to go to the city to meet him?
But even with Hu Baozong's courage, he didn't dare... It wasn't because of Li Chengzhi's military order, but because of the monk soldiers who were only separated by a camp wall.
He had a vague feeling: These monks and thieves were standing still, not just to defend themselves, but more like waiting for him to make mistakes...
Hu Xin looked around and quietly came over: "Here are either my Hu family's private soldiers or county soldiers. I don't think anyone will talk too much... If this place is not handed over to his subordinates, the school captain can lead the guards to the wall and fight with them."
Mr. Shi, last time we met?"
"Fart!" Hu Baozong shouted angrily, "Are you afraid that I won't die? Shut up..."
After cursing, Hu Baozong explained in a cold voice: "Let the flag soldiers send orders to the city, and send orders to the sentries to keep an eye on the north city. But when three piles of smoke rise, the rear army becomes the front army, and the front army becomes the rear army. Evacuate immediately...
…”
Afraid you won’t die?
No matter how powerful Li Chengzhi is, can he kill the captain for this little mistake?
Hu Xin was suspicious, but did not dare to say anything, and quickly went to the ladder to deliver the order...
Hu Shichang's face was full of disappointment when he saw the green flag on the black-armored military flag waved three times horizontally in the direction of the city.
Regardless of the specific meaning of the flag order, it simply means "no"?
"We are so close, why didn't Baozong come to meet us?"
"We should still be on guard against monks and thieves taking advantage of the situation!"
Wang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and advised in a low voice, "Don't worry, Mr. Shi, the righteous troops have already reached the city, but the rebels are still unable to do anything. The siege of this city will be solved soon..."
It means no matter how anxious you are, you shouldn’t be unable to wait for a day or two, right?
That's right...
Hu Shichang sighed slightly: "What Junzhao said is very true..."
……
After waiting for almost a moment, the soldiers on top of the city no longer shouted, and the flag soldiers outside the wall no longer waved their flags. They clearly rejected the invitation from the city. Faneng couldn't help but sigh:
"What a pity, this enemy general didn't fall for the trick?"
A monk general behind him leaned forward and asked: "The person who just issued the order in the city is the governor?"
Although this man is also bald, his head seems to be covered with a faint brown light. If you look closely, you can see that the new hair stubble is millet-colored.
Look at the face again: deep-set eye sockets, high nose bridge, green eyes, the lines of the facial features are cold and hard, and the skin color is a bit paler than Fa Neng...
And the sentence I just asked, it’s clear that I haven’t learned Chinese fluently yet.
This is obviously a bad guy.
But it’s not surprising.
After the Five Hus invaded China, all the Hu people from the north moved south. Not to mention Longxi, Jin, Guanzhong, even the heart of the Central Plains, Qilu, where many Hu people settled.
And they are still miscellaneous, not just from Xianbei.
Therefore, it is not unusual to see several Hu generals among the rebels.
What's strange is that, judging from his tone, he doesn't have much respect for Fa Neng?
Faneng sighed again: "That's why I say it's a pity... Judging from his tone, the commander of the black armored soldiers seems to be the nephew of the governor. Not surprisingly, he should be Hu Baozong, the captain of Longdong County...
If such people can be killed in front of the battle, the morale of the white-armored thieves will be greatly reduced... What a pity..."
"What's the use of killing a county captain?" General Hu looked at the city head and laughed coldly, "According to your opinion, this city cannot be deceived today?"
"How can it be that easy? Qinggu, you are so stupid to think of Governor Hu and General Yiqian..."
Faneng laughed for a while and then said: "Don't let your father Khan suffer from the bites of flies and mosquitoes anymore. You can go and light the cigarette at this time and let him retreat..."
"A waste of effort..."
Not knowing who he was scolding, Qing Gu muttered something, waved his hand fiercely, and more than two hundred knights immediately withdrew from the monk formation.
If they were closer, Hu Baozong would be able to recognize that these cavalrymen are all Hu people.
It is even more impossible for him to know that these Huqi are specifically used to ambush him...
Later, a plume of wolf smoke was seen rising into the sky in the south camp.
Then, in a row of mulberry fields seven or eight miles away, countless Huqi suddenly appeared as if they were emerging from the cracks in the ground.
Then he turned his horse and headed south, towards Quaigu County...
