Seeing Tang Lang say such ruthless words as "self-defeating", the magistrate of Songyang County, who was panicking, asked him: "How can you see it?" ”

Tang Lang asked the magistrate of Songyang County instead: "The thousand elite horsemen sent by Wang Ren have already surrounded the small Songyang City. Xiao Sheng just wanted to ask the magistrate, what kind of countermeasures should be taken to deal with the current siege situation? ”

The magistrate of Songyang County said in a deep voice: "This still needs to be asked!" Songyang County swears to die! Zheng Jun is tired from afar, and the benefits are in a quick battle! This county will organize the soldiers and civilians of Songyang County, etc., to clear the wilderness, strictly guard the four gates and the city wall, and defend to the death, and none of his Wang Renze's soldiers will think of coming in. ”

Tang Lang sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he said: "Lord Zhixian, leading the military and civilians to defend the city to the death is also a safe way. However, did the magistrate really think that the Songyang army could withstand the attack of Wang Renze's fierce cavalry? ”

"This ......"

"May I ask Lord Zhixian, how many regular soldiers with military training are there in Songyang County?"

"Less than five hundred."

In other words, there are less than 500 capable warriors in Songyang County. Although the rest of the armed forces are numerous, they are all rabble, and they are only strong, and once they face the enemy, they are vulnerable. I think adults know this very well. ”

"That's exactly what happened......

The magistrate of Songyang County hesitated in his heart, he obviously knew that the Songyang army was outnumbered and had not fought for many years, so he would not be the opponent of Wang Renze's 1,000 elite cavalry.

Tang Lang observed his words and said to the magistrate of Songyang County: "Xiaosheng has a strategy, you can immediately retreat from the enemy soldiers!" ”

"Oh!"

The magistrate of Songyang County was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "What is your good plan?" ”

Tang Lang talked eloquently, "According to Xiaosheng's analysis, the reason why Wang Ren sent a thousand elite horsemen to fight Songyang is nothing more than for the people, money and food. At present, Li Shimin's army is on the other side of the Yellow River, eyeing Luoyang City. Wang Shichong and Wang Renze's uncles and nephews are worried about nothing more than this heart disease. ”

"Not bad." The magistrate of Songyang County nodded and said.

Tang Lang continued: "Wang Shichong ordered Wang Renze to guard Luoyang City, but Luoyang City is just a lonely city, and its key point is the defense of the Yellow River. Once the Yellow River defense line is lost, Li Shimin will lead the Tang army to drive straight into Luoyang City, and Luoyang will be in danger. ”

"Definitely. The Yellow River defense line is the gateway to Luoyang City, which can be said to be very important. The magistrate of Songyang County echoed and said.

Tang Lang smiled and said: "If you want to hold the Yellow River defense line, you need a fortification that can be attacked and defended. Therefore, Wang Ren has recently been vigorously building the Yellow River fortifications. However, the construction of the Yellow River fortifications required a large number of people. At the moment, the people under his command are obviously not enough. The reason why he sent a thousand elite cavalry to attack Songyang was to capture some people and grab some money and food. ”

The magistrate of Songyang County nodded and said, "That's a good point." ”

"Therefore, as long as the magistrate of the county selects 10,000 people from the territory of Songyang County, and then seals the money and grain, and hands them over to Wang Renze, with good words to comfort them, then the 1,000 elite horsemen sent by Wang Renze will naturally break the siege." Tang Lang said unhurriedly.

The magistrate of Songyang County listened to Tang Lang's words, was stunned for a moment, and then jumped like thunder, and said loudly: "Bastard! What kind of good idea is this?! Tang Lang, Tang Lang, you can say it! Where are you going to put your county? If you do what you say, I, the parent official, might as well go home and plant sweet potatoes! No, no, no! ”

"Hahaha......"

Tang Lang suddenly laughed insolently.

The Wang prison next to him looked at Tang Lang's appearance and said silently: "I don't know whether to live or die!" ”

And Li Zhutou had already raised the Mo knife with both hands and shouted: "The surname is Tang, you dare to tease Lord Zhixian?" ”

"Wait—"

The magistrate of Songyang County once again stopped Li Zhutou and said in a deep voice: "This person is a little bold!" Perhaps, he already had a strategy to break the enemy in his chest. At the moment of the great enemy, we must be calm and constant! ”

Hearing the magistrate of Songyang County say such words, Tang Lang's heart couldn't help but be stunned: he seemed to have seen through my heart.

"Tang Lang, why are you laughing?"

The magistrate of Songyang County just took some words to attract Tang Lang.

Tang Lang stood tall at this time, and said loudly: "Lord Zhixian, yes, the strategy to break the enemy has long been in Xiaosheng's chest." Xiaosheng is just afraid that the magistrate will not agree? ”

"Tell me about it......"

Tang Lang said: "The thousand elite horsemen sent by Wang Renze are all in addition to a hundred battles, and they can recruit people who are good at fighting, and the Songyang Army is not its opponent at all. This thousand elite cavalry came to attack the small Songyang county town, the soldiers were arrogant, how did they put the Songyang army in their eyes. It is true that the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and I don't think it will be difficult to break them......"

The eyes of the magistrate of Songyang County shot out an eager light and said, "What should I do?" ”

Tang Lang was still unhurried, "As the saying goes, shoot a man first and shoot a horse, and capture a thief first to capture the king, as long as you send an assault team to kill into the middle of a thousand elite cavalry, directly attack the camp of its main general, behead the dragon, and destroy its command system, this thousand elite cavalry will immediately become a rabble." At that time, if the magistrate of the county waves the 'Songyang Army' out of the city and attacks fiercely, a thousand elite cavalry will inevitably be defeated. ”

"Assault Team!?"

The magistrate of Songyang County hesitated: "Is there anyone in the Songyang Army who can take on this position?" ”

Tang Lang continued: "The snake can't be without a head! - This is a decapitation tactic! ”

"But ...... 'take the rank of general in a million army', this ...... This has to be a genius to do it. Do you have a candidate in mind? ”

The magistrate of Songyang County sighed softly as he spoke. He obviously knew that there was no such person in the Songyang army.

"Give me a Vajra lance and three Mo knives! Tang Lang and others are willing to be the forerunner! ”

"-You!?"

The magistrate of Songyang County looked at Tang Lang, who was emaciated, and was very suspicious in his heart.

"It's not just me! I've already chosen someone for the county magistrate to surprise the battle. ”

"Who are they?"

"Cheng Biting Jin, Zhang Xiaohu, Lao Jun. Plus me, four people, four horses. I just don't know if the magistrate can be trusted? ”

The magistrate of Songyang County is overjoyed, "Cheng bites gold, the tiger of the world, one is ten." Why didn't the county think that he was sinking in Songyang Prison? Oops......" he said, slapping his thigh.

However, the magistrate of Songyang County has little confidence in the other three people.

"Cheng Biting Jin is certainly up to the task, but what is it...... Zhang Xiaohu, and the old army, who are they and what are they doing? The magistrate of Songyang County asked Tang Lang.

"Lord Zhixian," Tang Lang said, "Zhang Xiaohu is the son of the god leg Zhang, and his family property is uneducated; Lao Jun, I don't know his real name, but he once followed the Great Sui Emperor to participate in the war of the Eastern Expedition to Goryeo, and he has rich battlefield experience and can be used. Please also take a closer look at the prefectural magistrate. ”

"Oh?"

The magistrate of Songyang County seems to be unconvinced.

Tang Lang continued: "Lord Zhixian has no confidence in me, I can understand. If my combat strength is only one hundred, Cheng Yanjin's combat power is at least more than 100,000. Therefore, once Cheng Yanjin charges into battle, he will definitely be in a no-man's land. -- Actually, this assault team is mainly based on Cheng Yanjin as the forward, Zhang Xiaohu and I are supporting it left and right, and the old army is behind. ”

The magistrate of Songyang County nodded with satisfaction, as if he had been moved by Tang Lang's words, and he said to Tang Lang: "Okay...... Then you let all three of them come out. ”

"Okay."

Tang Lang turned to the prisoners and shouted loudly: "Brother Cheng, Brother Xiaohu, Brother Lao Jun, all three of you come to the front." ”

"What's wrong with calling me Lao Cheng?"

Cheng Yanjin screamed rudely and walked out of the prisoner team, the handcuffs and shackles on his body kept making a "clanging ......" sound.

Behind him, Zhang Xiaohu and Lao Jun also walked out of the crowd of prisoners.

In the midday sun, the faces of the prisoners turned extremely pale.

With the help of bright light, Tang Lang saw Zhang Xiaohu's appearance clearly, - although this Xiaohu had a bleak face, he was handsome and straight, his eyes were secretly shining, and although he was handcuffed and shackled, he still couldn't hide the appearance of a good young man.

And the old army, although thin and thin, with sharp-beaked monkey gills, is also steady.

The three of them all stood in a row with Tang Lang.

Tang Lang then turned to the magistrate of Songyang County and said loudly: "It's the three of them, plus me, a total of four people." ”

"Hmm." The magistrate of Songyang County nodded.

"Please remove the handcuffs and shackles on our bodies, equip each of us with a horse, give Cheng Biting Jin a King Kong horse lance, and give Zhang Xiaohu, Lao Jun and me an old Tiemo knife. -- The four of us will go out of the city to fight for the magistrate and the people of Songyang City! ”

Tang Lang's words were extremely impassioned.

The magistrate of Songyang County nodded silently while muttering.

In the middle of the night, the magistrate of Songyang County whispered to the wingman standing next to him.

Tang Lang saw that the magistrate of Songyang County looked at him, and seemed to have doubts, so he said loudly: "The four of us may die on the battlefield if we go, but we die without complaint; If we behead the thief and return unharmed, please forgive the sins of the four of us and release us from prison. ”

The magistrate of Songyang County hesitated, "This county knows that you will not go out of the city to join the enemy?" ”

"The magistrate listened to it: Cheng Yanjin was dissatisfied with Wang Shichong's deceit, and had abandoned Wang Shichong and chose to follow Li Shimin; Zhang Xiaohu's father, Shenleg Zhang, died tragically at the hands of Wang Renze; The reason why the old army entered Songyang Prison to 'live in seclusion' was actually to avoid Wang Shichong's Latin captor, and I even had a bitter enmity with Wang Shichong. Does Lord Zhixian still think that the four of us will go out of the city to join the enemy? ”

Hearing Tang Lang say this, Cheng Biting Jin and Zhang Xiaohu were nothing, only the old soldier glanced at Tang Lang in surprise. However, the old army did not expose him.

The magistrate of Songyang County made up his mind and said, "Okay." Then this county will let the four of you be caught in battle! -- Li Zhutou, according to the requirements Tang Lang said, you prepared war horses and weapons for them. ”

Li Zhutou glanced at Tang Lang, Zhang Xiaohu, Cheng Biting Jin, and Lao Jun coldly, and bowed to the magistrate of Songyang County: "My lord, my Songyang County is not without heroes, so I have to rely on these four prisoners?" ”
