This group of horse bandits, they can't beat Li Yuan, they actually came to Jiangling, our soldiers and horses are still training, maybe ......"

Xiao Mo was anxious, looking at Zhang Zhongjian, who was calm on the side, he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, Jiangling is now their territory, and is he in a hurry.

Jiangling was occupied by them, and they knew their own affairs, they really didn't have many soldiers and horses, and the method used to occupy Jiangling was to buy the soldiers and horses to defend the city, and the soldiers and horses cultivated by the Xiao family were only 5,000 people who could really fight.

Counting Zhang Zhongjian's men, there are no more than 15,000 people who can fight, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have been recruited recently, and it will take at least half a year to become combat-ready.

After they occupied the generals, they have been busy defending the city, and the troops are placed to look very powerful, but in fact, there are really not many soldiers and horses.

The Xiao family and the Zhang family quickly established their own power through money, and they had no bottom in their hearts in the face of the Turkic Xiao Miao.

"Xiao Chengshou, don't worry, as long as we are united, we can resolve the crisis." Zhang Zhongjian said lightly.

"General Zhang, it's easy to say, what do you want to do?"

Xiao Mo saw that Zhang Zhongjian was very calm and seemed to have a calculation in his heart, and said in his heart that he might have a way, and he wanted to know what he would think.

"Xiao Chengshou, don't panic, you think the purpose of the Turkic soldiers and horses is not to capture the state capital, their purpose is to loot, why Li Yuan of Taiyuan Mansion can stop it, in fact, it is not the number of soldiers and horses but the attitude."

"As long as we are tough and resist several waves of attacks, let the other party know that Jiangling will not become the target of their plunder, and they will naturally leave."

"Really?" Xiao Mo still asked nervously.

"You think, their purpose is to plunder, if our soldiers want to fight them to the end, it is not cost-effective for them to lose here, as long as they understand that they will naturally leave, if it is replaced by Xiao Chengshou, will you continue to fight?"

Xiao Mo thought about it carefully, and put himself in his shoes, there are many state capitals and villages in Sui State, and there is really no need to fight with a state capital to the end.

After empathy, Xiao Mo couldn't figure it out.

"Then this battle will all depend on General Zhang, and I will cooperate with power." Xiao Milling.

After Jiangling was occupied, Xiao Mo became the city guard, in charge of officials and materials in the city, and Zhang Zhongjian took over the military power, and the two worked together to quickly build the state capital into a good shape.

After the two discussed, Gangneung City immediately recruited soldiers.

Zhang Zhongjian was very calm but not idle, he was responsible for exercising the soldiers and horses every day, and arranged all the soldiers and horses on the city wall at this time.

Let them practice bows and arrows on the wooden stakes set up under the city as much as possible, and after getting used to it, they will increase some proficiency, so that they will not be in a hurry when the enemy is attacking the city.

The range that the bow and arrow can cover on the city wall, the soldiers on the city wall are watching, and the province really fights and can't hit the target.

The Turkic soldiers and horses arrived as scheduled, and they were able to grasp such an accurate time because this was the Sui State, and the Xiao family and the Zhang family had many eyeliners.

The messenger on a single horse was much faster than a group of soldiers, and in just a few days he was able to grasp the enemy's movements.

300,000 soldiers approached the city, and from the city wall, it was a sea of people.

Zhang Zhongjian personally stood on the city wall and fended off foreign enemies with the soldiers.

"General, in front of Gangneung, the people over there are very rich, if you succeed in at least three winters, you don't have to worry about supplies."

The Turkic generals were pondering on the side, and the faces of the main generals around them were solemn, because they had suffered a defeat not long ago.

After the journey, their overall condition was not very good.

Now a victory is needed to boost morale, and the ransack of the hamlet was thought of but those were not very profitable.

They were all looted by the horse team, but not everything was taken with them, so their target was the wealthy city, so that they could play to their advantage.

"Send 30,000 troops and horses to make a feint." The Turkic general ordered.

"Yes."

The generals around him immediately arranged, and the Turkic horse team immediately formed a formation to attack.

On the city of Jiangling, Zhang Zhongjian had already seen it, and what he saw was that it was not the Turks who were running in front but the prisoners they had captured.

"Humph!" Zhang Zhongjian felt very bad in his heart, obviously those who ran towards the front were used to resist the arrows.

"What about the general, those are the people of the Sui Kingdom." The general beside him hurriedly asked.

Zhang Zhongjian's eyes were cold, and the current situation did not allow him to have a trace of mercy, so he immediately ordered: "The archers aim at the Turkic cavalry to attack." ”

The generals around him could only follow this order, and now they had to do it, even if the people running in front were innocent.

The Turkic cavalry were skilled in bows and arrows, and there were people in front of them who helped to use arrows, and they used horses to use bows and arrows against the city walls.

Zhang Zhongjian commanded motionlessly on the city wall, allowing the arrows to fly by his side, and the morale of the people on the city wall was greatly boosted, and they felt very fortunate that they could follow such a general.

"Don't be afraid, it is difficult for the enemy's bow and arrow to attack the city wall, as long as you follow the process and pay attention to concealment when attacking, nothing will happen."

Zhang Zhongjian stared at the battlefield situation and did not forget to remind the soldiers on the city wall, but also to cheer them up, thinking that it would be up to luck at this time.

And the reason why he dared to stand here was because he was defended by shield soldiers in front of him, and his helmet was also very sophisticated, and he believed that if his martial arts really had arrows coming him, he would be able to use the sturdiness of the helmet to avoid injury with just one side head.

Besides, he was not standing on the battlements at the front, but relatively safe at the back.

Zhang Zhongjian personally commanded, the soldiers did not change at all, the archers were all very stable, and the probability of killing and wounding increased a lot.

The Turkic cavalry in charge of the charge suffered a lot of losses, and they did not expect that the losses would be so large, and after the battle, they already felt that the defenders of Gangneung were very strong.

Seeing that the charge did not serve its intended purpose, the Turkic cavalry was withdrawn.

The first attack was a feint, and both sides knew in their hearts that Zhang Zhongjian didn't want to waste arrows so quickly, and he was also relaxed when he saw the other party retreating.

This shows that his guess is right, and these Turks will not really forget to die with them.

According to the news from the Taiyuan Mansion, the 300,000 soldiers and horses had left after several battles in the Taiyuan Mansion, and now he could be sure that the result of Gangneung would be the same.

I was relaxed but still nervous, and my requirements for the soldiers did not decrease at all.

The Turkic cavalry retreated thirty miles and set up camp, and their living time had long been mastered by them.

Zhang Zhongjian got the scout's report, and immediately began to worry about his generals to let them prepare to go out of the city at night and attack at night.

This time, Zhang Zhongjian sent the Zhang family's personal guard, the black-clothed guard, to cooperate with the operation, and selected the most elite soldiers and horses in Jiangling City.
