The general army of Wolongguan is as diligent as a marquee, and he must have no intention of training the soldiers, and it is enough to see that the soldiers are well-trained and very obedient to the orders of these two adjutant generals.

This can show that these two people are conscientious and not the kind of people who do nothing.

If they make a big fuss and make things difficult for the two of them, the soldiers will not be convinced, and it will be difficult to gain a foothold.

Therefore, Gu Mozhi only smiled slightly at their rudeness: "The two lieutenant generals' method of welcoming the official is really unique, and it arouses the enthusiasm of the official. If it weren't for their own brothers, they would have just met, and they would definitely have a good time. ”

Jiang Biao is a martial arts idiot, as soon as he heard Gu Mozhi's words, he secretly rubbed his hands and was a little eager to try.

"Today I will take the wind for the commander-in-chief, and tomorrow, I will gather the brothers on the training ground and wait for the commander-in-chief to give advice. ”

Gu Mozhi smiled: "This Wolong Pass is easy to attack and difficult to defend, over the years, it has been able to resist the Xiliang cavalry, and it seems that the two lieutenant generals have made a lot of contributions." ”

Jiang Biao and the others lowered their heads in shame and waved their hands again and again: "Ashamed, ashamed, the people of Xiliang don't dare to attack my Chang'an, they are just afraid of General Hua's prestige." Even if we try our best, it will be difficult to resist. ”

Hua Qianshu heard him inadvertently mention his father, and he inevitably felt sour in his heart and lowered his head.

Several people were greeting each other, when suddenly a beacon fire burst out on the city wall and soared into the sky.

Jiang Biao was shocked: "His grandmother's!"

"Report!"

The horse's hooves sounded, and the herald on horseback dragged out the voice, with a hundred thousand urgency.

kept beating the horse and galloping, until he reached the city gate, the herald rolled down from the horse: "Report to Vice General Jiang, Vice General Shen, Xiliang Tie is coming, it is only less than five miles away, about more than 8,000." ”

"So many people this time?" Shen Yan glanced at Gu Mozhi: "Obviously, I came to give a meeting gift to the Chief Soldier." ”

"It's just a few thousand people, why worry about it?" Gu Mozhi glanced at the soldiers and horses behind him: "We have more than 15,400 soldiers and horses in Wolong Pass, why should we be afraid of him?"

Shen Yan smiled bitterly: "The chief soldier doesn't know, the establishment of Wolong Pass is more than 10,000, and he has been eating so much food, but in fact, there are only less than 6,000 soldiers and horses, including the old, weak, sick and disabled. ”

"What? how is it possible?" Gu Mozhi was very unexpected, on the way to Wolong Pass, he consulted a lot of information about this place, and made up the military book, but he was afraid that he did not lead the troops to fight, and he didn't understand anything when he came, and made jokes.

After all, this general soldier is not just a man of courage and blood.

"Originally, this establishment should have been a real one, but the Wolong Pass war continued, with fewer victories and more defeats, and the successive commanders lied about the military situation and concealed the casualties of our army, so as to invite credit. Over time, this Wolong Pass has long been unworthy of its name and is precarious. But the bosses only care about fattening their own pockets, where do they care about the lives of the people?"

Gu Mozhi may think it is incredible, but Hua Qianshu is well versed in it. This is called "eating empty salaries", and the successive general soldiers have relied on the establishment of false reports to be greedy for money and salaries. Therefore, she was not surprised, and it was expected, but she didn't expect the gap to be so big.

Now is not the time to pursue these questions, Hua Qianshu asked out loud: "Then now, how many soldiers can we fight, and how many war horses are there?"

Shen Yan stretched out a slap: "It's less than five thousand at all, it's only four thousand, not to mention the war horses, the former chief soldier said that there is no need for war horses to guard the pass, and he often finds different excuses to slaughter them, and he only has a few hundred horses." ”

This answer made Gu Mozhi even more dumbfounded. If you don't have a war horse, what can you do to resist the enemy's iron cavalry? Cavalry has a lot of advantages over infantry, not to mention that when people go to the door of their homes to spread wild, set fire to kill people, and turn around and run, what do you use to chase them? Can you outrun other people's four legs with two legs? Without war horses, you can only be beaten passively.

Hua Qianshu was also extremely speechless for a while.

No wonder the people of Xiliang are so arrogant, and when the general soldier took office today, he immediately came to provoke.

It's a fight in vain.

If you have anything to say, let's go back and mutter, the military situation is like fighting fire.

Gu Mozhi's blood was boiling, and he turned around and hugged his sword: "Take my silver spear, let the people of Xiliang see our majesty!"

Holding the sword, he was not to be outdone, handed Gu Mozhi's silver spear, his mount was also brought over, and the silver-armored guards who followed behind him rode majestically on the horse, without fear, and were ready to show off their skills with their son-in-law.

Hua Qianshu stepped forward and stopped these people.

"Brother Gu, this leading troops to fight a war needs to pay attention to the right time, place and people. We're new to the city, and we're completely unfamiliar with the situation, so we're afraid that taking advantage of it will give the other side an opportunity. No, today's battle is defensive or offensive, first listen to the command of Vice General Shen, and wait until we find out the reality of the other party, we have some deployment, and then it is not too late to face the battle. ”

Hua Qianshu has already seen that this Jiang Biao is a rough and fierce person, good at leading troops to fight, while Shen Yan looks a lot more gentle, and his eyes are full of light. When Jiang Biao spoke, a pair of eyes always drifted in his direction, which showed that it was still this Shen Yan who commanded the war and was in charge.

Shen Yan's gaze at Hua Qianshu was different.

He advised Gu Mozhi: "The enemy is outnumbered, and the strength is very different, not to mention, just after the autumn harvest, there is a lot of grain in the people's homes, and it is really not suitable to open the door to face the battle, it is better to defend than to attack, and please bear with the general soldier for a while." “

Gu Mozhi is not a self-righteous person, he can listen to the advice, and slap the silver spear horizontally: "Okay, you and I will watch the battle from the wall first." ”

The group hurried to the city wall, because the Xiliang cavalry often attacked, and the soldiers defending the city had already closed the city gate and prepared the stones and rolling wood in an orderly manner.

The people of the city were in a state of panic, all the shops were closed, and the streets were empty.

The people of Xiliang were fierce, and the iron horses trampled on the earth, rolling from afar like thunder, flashing the scimitar at their waists, sliding through the dazzling sunlight, and holding the reins of their horses under the city gates.

The leader was dressed in armor, wearing a golden feather on his head, looking up at the city wall, and he was arrogant: "Boy Jiang Biao, call out your new chief soldier and let him fight with me for three hundred rounds, and see if it is a bad breed or a bear?"

Jiang Biao pulled his voice, and his voice was like a loud bell: "Bah, Jin Wuzhan, the general soldier of my family has been tired all the way, and his muscles and bones are tired, you take advantage of the danger of others, and come here to provoke at this time, it is really shameless." My chief soldier disdains to fight you. ”

Jin Wuzhan is brave and good at fighting, with infinite strength, and is a fierce general in Xiliang.

When he heard the words, he laughed "haha": "As soon as I saw my grandfather coming, I immediately closed the city gate, and at first glance, I was so scared that I peed my pants." You Chang'an people know how to be a turtle with a shrunken head. In this way, call your chief soldier out, in front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, call me Grandpa Jin, I don't say a word, I immediately turn around and leave.

Didn't you Chang'an people pay attention to the great righteousness of the nation and sacrifice their lives to be benevolent? For the sake of the safety of the people in Wolongguan, he put down his own self-esteem, believing that it will be passed down through the ages. But if he doesn't know what to do, Grandpa Jin will kill him today and press him to the ground as a horse. ”

The words were insulting, and the soldiers behind him laughed uncontrollably.
