"General, where are the two thousand Tang troops outside the city? They are closest to us. If they bite us, they will definitely cause us a lot of trouble." Lu Yu said excitedly, and he set off a city every night.
It was making him so excited. Although he used tricks, he didn't beat him down in real terms, after all, he took it down, right?
What made Lu Yu even more excited was that all his subordinates changed their clothes and were all standard weapons from the Tang army, which were better than his own. He also confiscated more than 500,000 silver coins from the treasury.
It has to be said that the currency policy developed by Xiaoguojun is still very beneficial to them. It is convenient to statistics and more convenient to carry.
"These two thousand people should be solved first! Guan Lin immediately sent an order to Langzhong, saying that the situation in the city would ask him to immediately take his subordinates back and temporarily suspend his actions against the bandits. He also asked him to come back first."
“How many horses are there in our hands now?”
"Not many, only more than 500 horses, which also includes the capture from the Weiyang Guard. There is a shortage of horses here!" Lu Yu said in a deep voice. Not only is there a shortage of horses here, but the entire Yanzhou area is short of horses.
"Five hundred is about five hundred, and we collected along the way, only seven or eight hundred. Let's form a cavalry team of five hundred and let the soldiers who can ride on horseback!" Zhao Xun was a little dissatisfied, but this was the case,
This is all we can do. In other words, even if there are horses, the soldiers under the army may not necessarily be able to ride.
"Where are the prisoners in the camp? Keep them? It's better than..." Li Guochang made a killing move. They didn't have a good impression of these Tang army prisoners.
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice for a moment, "Forget it, thousands of lives, more than a thousand families! However, all officers with all ages and above will be killed!" Although Zhao Xun did not want to speak without trust, he did not want to be like this.
Killing the prisoners does not mean that he is still sitting and watching the existence of this army that has been intact. The officers are killed and the army wants to recover, but it is not possible to succeed in a short period of time.
Qin Xiao, who was on the other hand, opened his mouth and said nothing in the end. He knew that it was already the limit of Zhao Xun doing this. In fact, he was already very grateful for Zhao Xun's failure to kill a thousand Tang army prisoners. This is also considered
I have returned my identity as a captain in Tang Army.
"By the way, the three thousand young and strong men were dismissed, and no one gave them some money to find a way out. If there were people with heart in the city, let them collect equipment from the New Army and the Treasury.
Zhao Xun explained in a deep voice.
"Does the general want the people here to resist on their own?" Lu Yu said in a deep voice.
Zhao Xun nodded and said, "That's right, even if they go to fight for bandits, it's better than falling into the hands of the Tang army, right? Besides, I can guarantee that there must be remnants of Liangzhou Prefecture Army in these counties to resist.
Tang Army. Otherwise, all counties would not have been stationed with troops to guard them. You have also seen the situation along the way. How can people who are displaced and have no source of livelihood not fight back? Just think it is to cause some trouble for them, maybe
What about some gains in the future?”
Therefore, under Zhao Xun's arrangement, all the armor and equipment that the soldiers of the government could not take were sent out for free, and even the armor on the bodies of the 1,000 new affiliated troops and the 1,000 garrison troops were sent out.
Zhao Xun didn't care about who was taken away and where he took it, and he didn't have time to care about it.
Near noon, Langzhong, who had returned to the city first, was also taken down and killed on the spot. So, for half a day, without any response or defense in the Tang army, Zhao Xun, the north of Siyang County, was seized. The investigation was made.
The reason is still in the front-line military camp of the Tang army.
The identity of an officer in the military camp was very important, because for more than two months of resistance, front-line officers often escorted food, grass and supplies to the rear. In addition, there were often remnants of Liangzhou Prefecture Army between the counties, and the appearance of front-line officers is also a real person.
Normally. Therefore, whether it is Langzhong or Ma Kui, he never asked Qin Xiao for the right general's order, but only checked the other party's identity token.
It’s not that they don’t look at it, but because when the military affairs were busy at the beginning, the front-line military rules were extremely impatient. I was fighting on the front line, and when I arrived at the rear, I still wanted you to check it out? How can I have a good mood? After encountering some scolding and cold eyes
, they no longer investigated the warrants in each other's hands. After all, front-line officers did not dare to pretend to be military orders and acted recklessly. Although they had not investigated the warrants and passed through them many times, nothing happened, but this time the ship capsized.
However, the front-line military camp knew that the captain was captured, but in order to save his face, he did not report it. As a result, an invalid identity token played a great role, causing huge losses to the Tang army.
"Report to the general, one thousand Tang troops and one thousand new affiliated troops have approached five miles of the south gate. How to deal with it? Should I put it in, or..." Guan Lin reported in a deep voice.
"Fight head-on, I want to tell the people in the city that our Yanzhou Prefecture Army is not a mud, and the Tang army is not an invincible one. The new affiliated army... Most of them were also a prefecture army in the past..." Zhao Xun said with some regret.
"The Mansion Army? A group of bastards without solar terms!" Guan Lin said angrily.
…………
"Damn the lieutenant, didn't he just come back from the front line? What's so cool? Damn, please call me over and call me over. Suppress the bandits. Just let us go. Just run away and let me come back again...
…” Lin Ju cursed in a muffled voice. Although he was an officer and although he was riding a war horse, he was ordered for no reason and ran back and forth for dozens of miles, and he was also angry.
"Sir, look, above the city!" A scream of exclamation interrupted the Qu Changlin Opera in the front.
Lin Ju looked up and saw that above the city gate, the original Tang army flag turned into the palace army flag. More importantly, something was hanging on it.
"Master...Master...the head of Captain Lang at that time!" The former army provoked the horse and ran forward for hundreds of meters, galloped over and reported with a panic look on his face.
"What? What's going on?" Lin Ju was shocked.
"Sir, not only that, there is an army outside the city. They... they seem to be the army of the government!" The horse's face was slightly calmer and he said in a trembling voice.
"Quick! Let the three song leaders in the rear come immediately, and there will be changes in the city. In addition, blow the trumpet and let the army gather into a defensive formation." Lin Ju panicked, but still ordered urgently.
…………
Looking at the limit of vision, the slowly approaching military formation, a cold light rose from Zhao Xun's eyes. Zhao Xun couldn't help but sigh that this Tang army was extraordinary. In a very short time, it gathered its formation.
He leaned towards himself. He believed that if the government army was in a different place with the other party, the first thing that came to mind was to escape, rather than fight head-on.
Of course, Zhao Xun's more than 3,300 soldiers now have naturally undergone amazing changes. He also lined up the array and pointed at the other party from afar.
At this time, Zhao Xun had three thousand people around him, two thousand were his soldiers in the palace, and one thousand were young and strong in the city where he wanted to join the army. As for the other two thousand government troops and one thousand young and strong, at this moment,
He is defending the city and monitoring the camp in the city.
Zhao Xun rode his horse to the military formation and suddenly raised his right arm. The noise of the riot caused by a thousand government troops and some young and strong people who had been on the battlefield was instantly calmed down.
There was a stern slaughter all around, only the heavy shouts of the soldiers around him and the long and long trumpets of the Tang army in the distance were clearly heard.
"Brothers, the Tang army invaded my land, killed my soldiers, and robbed my family's wealth. Do you think we should fight with them?"
"Should!"
The soldier's face turned red, and his voice responded with a loud bang, and his momentum was rising.
"Now, we are behind the enemy, and we are taking the enemy city in a long and snatching countless military supplies. This shows that the Tang army is just like this! Brothers, are you afraid!" Zhao Xun waved his spear and shouted loudly. Zhao Xun's slogan
, not only for the soldiers under his command, but also for the 1,000 newly joined recruits, and for the people who were watching on the city wall and in the city. In order to arouse the fighting spirit and resistance of the people in the county, Zhao Xun also summoned 3,000 by the Tang army.
The young and strong man came up to the city wall to watch the battle.
"Not afraid!"
The soldiers waved the long sword in their hands vigorously, and the wolf howled and their momentum became higher and higher.
Zhao Xun slashed with a spear in his hand, pointed straight ahead, and shouted sternly: "No matter where you come from, you are all people of the enemy invaded by the Tang army. What is the difference between the official army in front and they? They are not as long as us."
One hand! Brothers, hold the weapons in your hands and kill them for me! So what if the mere Tang army!"
"kill!"
Zhao Xun shouted, turned his horse's head, stood up with a spear, galloped towards the slowly coming Tang army formation. Zhao Xun didn't take the enemy opposite at all. He didn't believe the commander's death,
The other party can adjust his psychology and effectively rule in such a short time.
"kill!"
Guan Linhu roared, his eyes were about to break, and his boiling blood stirred his heart. He followed Zhao Xun tightly and moved forward bravely. Behind him was the newly formed five hundred cavalry team.
"kill……"
Amid the roars like a sea of roars, two thousand five hundred straits accelerated forward, like a surging torrent of a broken dam swept towards the Tang army formation. The cold long swords flashed with a cold light under the sunlight.
On the city wall, except for the defenders under Zhao Xun, no matter whether they were new or new recruits, they had never been to the battlefield, just to find a way. Or the three thousand young and strong men who were recruited by the Tang army to transport grain.
, or those rich families, big families, and some people with ulterior motives who came to the city to watch the battle freely. At this moment, they were all infected by the momentum of the three thousand soldiers under the city.
"Maybe, I should consider other ways out..." Many people thought so.
…………
In front of the slowly advancing Tang army, Lin Ju and the other three were beating like drums and their faces were as beautiful as earth. It was not that they were afraid, but that they were caught off guard by this.
Yes, before leaving in the morning, the flag on the city was still hanging his Tang army flag. There were a thousand new affiliated troops left behind in the city. In addition, there were one thousand garrison troops from Linyi, one thousand front-line soldiers from the south and three
Qianxin Affiliated Army. Why did the city change after going out and going around?
The flags on the city wall are very obvious, which are from the Yanzhou Prefecture Army, that is, the local flags of the imperial court. The heads hanging on the flagpole can be clearly seen, that is, from the garrison commander Langzhong and the county magistrate Ma Kui, and from Linyi
The lieutenant came. But why is this happening?
"The other party has a large number of people, more than 3,000. Not to mention the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall. Damn, what's going on?" Lin Ju cursed angrily.
"Lao Lin, have you issued a notice to the surrounding cities?" A thirty-year-old man riding with a stout figure said in a muffled voice.
"It's already sent out! This time I'm over. Let's talk about the city being lost. There are also those who arrived yesterday to provide food, grass and military supplies for 10,000 troops. If it's gone, you and I will lose your head!" Lin Ju
He said in a roar.
"Okay, alias, we are just ordinary Qu Chang, so what can we do? Shangguan has no military orders, what can we do? Now, the most important thing is to defeat the enemy in front of us, otherwise, we can't leave. Look,
, of these three thousand people, two thousand of them were from soldiers, at least, regular soldiers. They were well-behaved and could maintain a certain small formation. The remaining one thousand people did not know how to cooperate with the others, although they
Some were also military-born, but they did not cooperate with the other two thousand people. What does this mean?" said a man with dark skin and a little beard on his chin.
"Brother Huang, tell me!" Lin Ju paused in his heart and said anxiously when he heard this.
"They were newly recruited by this group of people, and there were also above the city walls. You see, except for a few armors and weapons on their side, the rest were all dressed up by ordinary people. This shows that their troops were not as strong as we imagined
But I don't understand why they don't defend the city, but instead fight us hard?" Qu Chang Huang Xu frowned and explained. He always felt that the person on the other side was not as simple as he imagined.
Otherwise, it would not have taken the city easily, killed the lieutenant from Linyi, and captured two thousand regular troops and one thousand new affiliated troops in the city.
"Old Huang, I understand. Look at the officers rushing over from the opposite side, how young they are. I'm afraid they don't know how to capture the city and want to show off again. I just don't know who is the one who is in charge of the city. He is so bold.
, Such a yellow-haired child was actually doing something recklessly." Lin Ju stared at the opposite side and said in a muffled voice.
"Ah... no matter what, even if we want to escape, we have to deal with the other party. Unfortunately, we only have one thousand garrison troops under our command. There are still one thousand, which are the new affiliated troops. I don't know if there will be any changes in them.
"The other Qu Chang frowned and said with a bitter expression. He was the oldest Qu Chang here. At this moment, he also felt that he was afraid that he would be doomed this time. He could easily and quietly take down this city,
Would it be so simple? Besides, the soldiers on the opposite side knew that they were elite soldiers who had been through the war for a long time, and they were even more fierce than the garrison troops under their command.
At the beginning, after learning about the situation ahead, the four of them discussed not as Zhao Xun thought, and insisted on fighting with them. The first idea was naturally to save their lives. It was not that they didn't want to leave, but that they didn't dare to just leave.
There were three thousand soldiers outside the other city, including five hundred cavalry. What about them? Except for the officers and a few personal guards around them, they were all infantrymen. How could they escape? How could they escape? Let's talk about it
, if you flee without a fight, the matter will be exposed, and you will be punished by death. Therefore, the four of you discussed that even if you escape, you will have to fight.
"Damn it, fight! It's best to defeat this kid. Even if you can't, they will not dare to pursue it. How could my Tang army be afraid of this little riot? The remnants of Liangzhou Prefecture Army, Hum, wait until the army arrives.
, You must die without a complete body." Lin Ju said coldly.
Is this young general really so easy to deal with with his soldiers? Only after fighting can you know.
Huang Xu rode his horse back and said loudly to the thousand new troops among them: "I know that some of you are making their own small abacus. I tell you, you should not think about it. Think about your identities, new
Attached army! Tell yourself, which one of you has not had blood stained with robes? Which one of you has never killed the government army? Which one of you has never captured and killed the remnants of the fugitive government army? Do you think the remnants of the government army have recovered Siyang City
, Can you change back? Don't think about it! To them, you are traitors, and there is only one way to die. Today, if you want to survive, kill me! All counties in Liangzhou Prefecture are all my Tang army, and there are tens of thousands in the south
The army is stationed, and they want to make a big splash?”
"If we win today, you are all meritorious people. Even if we fail, we escape. You are also meritorious people. You will gain the trust of our army and become the real garrison of the Tang army. By then,
You are the masters of Liangzhou Prefecture. We all cheered up my spirits and let them see that we are not a mud!" Huang Xu sternly encouraged his morale.
"The supervisor team is here. Today, if you dare to retreat privately, you will be killed without any punishment!" Huang Xu ordered coldly.
Perhaps Huang Xu's words played a role, and the face of the Yi Qianxin Army became slightly darker, and then they all shouted to kill with the rest of the soldiers!
It's approaching... the unknown government army carrying smoke and dust has rushed over like a tide, only a hundred steps away from its own military formation.
"Damn it, what army is this? Damn it!" Lin Ju cursed inwardly, then took a deep breath of air conditioning, shouting sternly: "Archer is ready..."
More than 300 Tang army archers immediately removed the longbow from their backs, and quickly pulled out feather arrows from the quiver and put them on the strings...
I have to say that the quality of the Tang army is still good, at least stronger than the Mansion Army. Seeing this, Zhao Xun secretly exclaimed.
Because they were going to kill bandits, they were fully equipped with weapons, just like Zhao Xun's troops who rushed over, they were all wearing Tang army armor. The only difference was that the arms of the soldiers under Zhao Xun were wrapped in white cloth.
The same is true on the neck to distinguish the differences between the two.
"New Army, stand up shields! All speed up and fight! All fucking faster!" Huang Xu frowned and shouted sternly.
Looking at the Tang army getting closer and closer, a trace of cold flames flashed through Zhao Xun's eyes, and the shrill shouts of killing echoed in his ears.
"Today, let the Tang army remember it! Our Shanyang Prefecture Army is not easy to fight, and our Shanyang Prefecture land is not easy to occupy." Zhao Xun's eyes suddenly showed his murderous intent.
The elites are from the battle, not from the training, nor are they said. Zhao Xun was going to use this method to start training the soldiers bit by bit. Of course, the most important thing is to give the Tang army on the front line a headache and have no time to go south.
