Xin Er came out of the tent and said to Lan Baozhang, who was waiting outside: "I was going to ask the Lord to see you, but the Lord is discussing military affairs with the Governor of Koji and other generals, and I will talk about it another day." ”

Failed to let Lan Bao see Ling Hu Feng, the sheep and horses were not grateful, they couldn't talk in vain, they just said that they would be left for the future, Xin Er thought about it, took off the saddle and saddle jacket of the horse, and gave it to him, which was full of meaning for the time being.

Mounts, saddles, and mud barriers were trophies that Linghu Feng had given him only yesterday. The mount has to be kept, the saddle and the mud barrier should be the supplies of a certain general in Guo Baiju's army, the saddle ornament is luxurious, embroidered with the pattern of the falcon flying, and the saddle jacket is made of colorful brocade, and it is colorful.

Before giving a long lance, now send a saddle and a saddle jacket, these things are the preferences of Lan Baozhang, he did not shirk, happily accepted, and immediately changed to use, and at the same time said goodbye, I can't wait to go back to the ministry, show off to the people.

His robe and hakama were dirty, and they did not match the luxury of the saddle and jacket, and his departing figure did not look like his master, like a slave leading a horse. Most of the armor soldiers and Hu warriors who led the guards snickered.

Xin Er said in his heart: "They don't know righteous people! ”

In his opinion, it is not that the Lanbao palm is not worthy of the saddle and jacket, but that the saddle and jacket are not worthy of the Lanbao palm.

Holding the talisman given by Linghu, Xin Er led out 500 cavalry from the camp of the soldiers, starting from the He cadres where the big account was located, and lined up one by one, and put the sheep, horses, cattle and camels of each department together into a pile; He also organized the Hu Mu relatives who were still detained in the Chilou Dan Department into five battalions according to their own genus. The number of animals and family members is registered, and a roster is drawn up for family members.

Near noon, Liu Zhuang and Liu Le brought food over.

"If there is food cooked in the army, I can just eat some, why send it all the way."

"What do soldiers do?"

Xin Er opened the lunch box, a bowl of corn porridge, three dishes, two Hu cakes, and a plate of sauce. The five compartments of the lunch box are filled to the brim. The ingredients for the porridge, vegetables, and sauce were all seized. The aroma of the food is fragrant, and my index finger is moving.

After eating buttermilk and mutton for a few months, I suddenly saw the daily diet of the Tang people, and I felt like seeing my relatives. Speaking of which, this is the first meal he has eaten in the strict sense of the word since he came to this world. The wind swept the clouds, and ate it cleanly.

Liu Le knelt on his side, waited for him to finish eating, and offered tooth wood and water.

Tooth wood is like a toothpick in later generations, shaped like a small piece of wood, the usage is: chew the end of the wood, rub the teeth and gums repeatedly with the chips, remove the food residue, scrape the tongue with the remaining tooth wood, and finally rinse the mouth with water.

Xin Er has learned to use this thing, and with Liu Le's hand warmth on the tooth wood, he put it in his mouth, and he felt that there was a fat heart.

Liu Le had never put on makeup before, and when he saw her recently, her cheeks and lips were rosy. Xin Er said in his heart: "Where did the rouge come from?" Did Madame give it to her? "The two of them are together all day long, and they can only be taught by Zuo.

"Everyone, why are they in line?"

Liu Le asked Hu Mu's relatives, and not far away, the soldiers forced them to form a queue of seven or eight and register according to their heads.

Xin Er replied vaguely: "They have made a contribution to the Lord, and the Lord will take them back to the royal capital." "Linghu Fengyi accepted Hu Mu as a scholar, but now it can't be said that once Hu Mu knows about it, he will definitely flee.

Liu Le let out an "oh" and asked, "Everyone, was Ugly sick last night?" ”

"What?"

"Last night, when everyone returned to the account after drinking, the slave happened to be in the lady's account. Everyone was in distress in the war, and the grandfather did not tell the slave in detail, only that everyone was not injured, and the slave and the lady did not know the details, and they were very worried. The slave called out the tent, but she didn't respond, and when she heard the faint voice in the tent, she looked very uncomfortable. ”

Xin Er was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, so he threw away his wooden teeth, covered his face with his sleeves, and rinsed his mouth with water, but when he saw Liu Le looking at him with big eyes, he obviously couldn't answer and refused to stop, so he had to say: "Thanks to your two dang, I'm safe and sound." He said to Liu Zhuang, who was coughing, "Liu Weng, I have to finish the errand given by the Lord as soon as possible, and you can go back." Tomorrow we will go to the royal capital, and you will get ready. ”

Liu Zhuang coughed for a long time, couldn't interrupt Liu Le, grabbed her, and said angrily: "Everyone is very busy, where can I listen to your nonsense!" What are you asking! Don't give Liu Le a chance to speak again, drag her and leave.

Xin Er let out a sigh, couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart: "Unexpectedly, the wall has ears!" After walking less than two steps to the place where the roster had been made, he suddenly remembered something, stumbled under his feet, almost fell, and thought, "Oops! I wonder if she told her wife? ”

It doesn't matter if you say it or not, anyway, when you return to the royal capital, you and Zuo Ying will rarely have the opportunity to meet again, so it doesn't matter. recalled Zuo's onion fingers are delicate, and the gentleness of changing the medicine for himself; the three sweet little red fruits under the felt; When the two met after returning from the royal capital, Zuo's eyes were full of joy, and for some reason, thinking that it might be difficult to see her again in the future, Xin Er felt a strange feeling.

Starting from Zebian, tens of thousands of steps, plus Hu Mu, traveled for three days, and it was not far from leaving the desert.

Linghu Feng asked Xin Er about the code agreed with Guo Yi, sent people to Guyin first, and agreed with Guo Yi that five days later, they should join forces with the outside world and attack the royal capital.

Guo Yi received the news, was overjoyed, and gathered the backbone of the believers, including the Tang people and the Western Regions, a total of forty or fifty people, and told them about their own plans. Believers are willing to obey.

The party dispersed, and in the evening, three or four horsemen quietly galloped out of the city and ran to the north, and in the evening of the next day, they met Ling Hufeng's troops.

Xin Er's representative Ling Hu Feng received them. After listening to the "emergency military situation" told by the visitor, Xin Er relayed the matter to Ling Hufeng with an evaluation of "not being able to do it himself".

Linghu Feng smiled and said, "Little ants, do you want to swallow elephants too?" I just know that this guy is chattering, and he doesn't want to be delusional. "It's a little thing, it's not a big deal. He didn't even bother to meet the people who came for this, and after making a little arrangement, he threw it aside.

Out of the desert along the river to the south, all the way to the scenery, all of them have been seen before.

Only the last time he saw him, he rode alone, and his future was still bleak; This time, it is tens of thousands of foot riders, the banner is grand, and the success is in sight.

In the afternoon of the fourth day, we arrived outside the city of Guyin.

Linghu Yong has already received the news, the four cities, the city gates are closed, and the city walls are full of soldiers who bear armor and Hegan.

Linghu Feng led more than 100 horsemen, leading seven or eight people including Koji Shuo, Cao Fei, Xin Er, and Jia Zhen to the outside of the city, put up a pergola with their hands, and watched for a long time, saying: "The dog cub is scared. Since we dare not send troops to ambush our troops, and now the defenders are all in the city, and there is no soldier outside, do you not hear that the city is guarded and the field is guarded first? This must be done! "Such a stupid fool is actually my nephew?" Heartbroken, but instead of lamenting Ling Huyong's "stupidity", he was deeply ashamed that he had been forced to run by a "fool".

In the second half of his words, Koji Shuo and others did not express their position; However, in the first half of his words, everyone is a veteran of the battlefield, and they all think so.

Linghu summoned Xin Er and Jia Zhen to approach, pointed to the east and west garden cities, and said: "Ah Gua, before the battle starts tomorrow morning, you lead your subordinates and Hu Mu under Lao Cao's supervision to guard outside the two cities and cut off their way to rescue." ”

Xin Er promised.

Linghu Feng pointed to the north city and the middle city again, and said: "Ziming, you lead you and He Changxing's subordinates to gallop between the two cities and cut off their contacts. ”

Jia Zhen promised.

Linghu Feng said to Cao Fei: "I'll give you three hundred fine armor, see who can climb for me first, you or Luo Hu." The first to ascend, 100 gold. ”

Luo Hu is the person who broke the small formation of Yong army foot soldiers and killed his Sima, Tiger is his nickname, his big name is Dang, the word is Ren, and he is a famous general under the account of Koji Shuo. He was also among the people who followed him at this time, glanced at Cao Fei, turned his face away, and did not speak.

Cao Fei said angrily: "What are you looking at? ”

Luo Dang replied slowly: "I look at the school captain." ”

Cao Fei didn't expect him to praise himself, and said, "Where am I righteous?" ”

"Isn't it merciless to let me pay a hundred gold?"

Cao Fei dialed the horse and fought with a lance. Luo Dang is a foot general, riding is not his strength, jumping off the horse, drawing his sword to block.

Koji Shuo hurriedly stopped. Linghu Fengqin separated the two of them, held one hand on the other, and said in his heart: "The two generals are strong, and the eagle dog can also be used!" Haha laughed, "You two are the generals of our army, save your strength, and use it when you attack the city." ”

Transferred back to the army, ordered the fox to slaughter sheep and roast meat, feast the soldiers, and then ordered the troops to rest.

In the early hours of the next morning.

The drums of the Chinese army were beating, the three links had not yet been completed, and the generals and colonels had already gathered. Linghu Feng gave them specific combat orders. The generals and colonels received the order, and then they returned to their headquarters, set up the military flag of their headquarters, gathered troops and lined up, and prepared to rush to the war zone.

The various departments had gathered, and when they left the camp to fight, the sky was slightly bright.

Xin Er and Jia Zhen came out first.

There were more than 4,000 Hu cavalry in both departments, and Xin Er made a slight inspection, so he led them out of the main camp and galloped to the east and west garden cities. Jia Zhen also took the other two Hu cavalry to the north and the middle city.

Linghu Feng had already detected that Linghu Yong was in the palace, that is, in the southern city, which was included in the northern city, to capture the thief and capture the king, so his combat deployment was to attack the northern city. He arranged the cavalry on the periphery of the northern city, especially on the north and west sides, to respond and intercept, and all the infantry were arranged in the open east of the terrain, so as to launch an attack.

The morning breeze was cold, and Xin Er wore a black robe over his armor. Ben Chaohuode, Shang Chi, he wanted to wear a red robe, but he was persuaded by Ah Chou, saying that it was too conspicuous. Makes sense. The battlefield is dangerous, once is enough, Xin Er didn't want to come again, so he changed to wear this clothes.

There were few residents in Xiyuan City, and more than 1,000 people rode there.

Xin Er led the rest of the Hu cavalry to Dongyuan City and ordered: "Spread out the encirclement, no one is allowed to come out." ”

Ordered Bald Lian Fan to choose hundreds of loud and Tang Hu Mu, ran around the city, and announced to the city: Guo Baiju and Suo Chong's troops were defeated, and Fuping Gong attacked the royal capital today, only killing the unconscious lord, as long as the people in the city did not come out, they would be fine.

The defeat of Guo Baiju and Suo Chong's troops has been heard by the people of East and West Yuan City; Many of the soldiers besieging Beicheng are their families, so despite the commotion in the city, no one came to the rescue of Beicheng. Two loyal officials, intending to organize a reinforcement of men, were killed by the inhabitants before they could gather a few men.

Since the two cities are fine, Xin Er has time to watch the battle. He climbed to a high place and looked at it from afar.

Outside the northern city, the mobilization and deployment of the infantry soldiers had been completed, and the drums could not be heard clearly, and the noise of the soldiers could be heard.

The foot soldiers of the surrender were less than 4,000, and the foot soldiers of the koji department were less than 4,000, and there were more than 7,000 people in the two times, facing the east city gate, forming four phalanxes. At this time, about 2,000 people in the middle and front of the four phalanxes formed two narrow and long formations, twenty or thirty paces apart, towards the moat. Xin Er said in his heart: "I began to use the soldiers to drive Hu Mu to fill the river." ”

Linghu promised to surrender his pawns, and after conquering the royal capital, he released his soldiers, so in this battle, of course, he had to "make the best use of everything" and use them to play the vanguard; And the soldiers are trained soldiers, and they can't be easily sent to death, so Linghu Feng left some Hu Mu and made him responsible for filling the moat. The two formations that went to the river, Hu Mu in front of the head, and the soldiers in the back.

Arrows rained down on the city.

Hu Mu had no armor, and was shot down by a strong crossbow, and some threw down the dirt bag, turned around and ran back. The soldiers of the overseer supported the shield and drew the string, and also shot it. The soldiers were close to Hu Mu, and the lethality of their arrows was stronger. Hu Mu had no way back, so he had to turn back.

The moat is wide and deep, going back and forth several times, more than 1,000 Hu Mu were killed and wounded, and the river channel has not yet been filled.

Linghu Feng may not be able to wait, Xin Er saw several horsemen galloping from the Chinese army to the front, and he should have passed down his new military order. After a short time, under the threat of the soldiers, the Hu herds no longer only filled the river with earthen bags, but also lifted the corpses of their companions and threw them into the river. Subsequently, the soldiers of the armor unleashed their bows and arrows, killed all the remaining Hu Mu, raised their shields to defend themselves, and pushed their corpses into the river.

Xin Er looked back at Ballian Fan, Qi Dali, Lan Baozhang, etc., they were all as pale as earth, obviously frightened by the fate of their fellow clansmen. What if you're scared? Mutiny is absolutely courageous. The most they can do is only those who are glad to die.

The moat was finally filled.

The flags of the four phalanxes waved, the drums beat loudly, and the soldiers carried the ladders and rushed to the city.

A trebuchet placed in the distance throws stones at the head of the city.

The Art of War: Ten Rules Surround It.

In siege warfare, because the enemy has city walls and armor for use, he naturally has an advantage, so only when the soldiers and horses are ten times that of the enemy, the battle can be easily fought. Linghu Feng's infantry was only more than 7,000, which was about the same number as the defenders, and there were not many large siege equipment in his army, such as ladders and trebuchets were still improvised when they were on the edge of the river, so although the morale was high, it was also very difficult to fight.

The last fierce battle on the desert was the first large-scale field battle that Xin Er experienced; This attack on the royal capital was his first siege battle. From morning to noon, he stood and watched for a long time, engrossed in it, not feeling tired at all.

The foot soldiers of the Feng army launched four attacks on the city with about 1,000 men, but one failed to succeed.

Xin Er couldn't tell who was Cao Fei and who was Luo Dang, but saw that in the two most advanced offends, a total of four or five small troops were closest to the city, but in the end, they were either repelled by boiling oil, or captured by the flying hook, and Xuan was killed by the defenders, and his head was thrown into the city.

Linghu Feng Mingjin withdrew his troops.

The soldiers fed their meals, rested, and continued their attack in the afternoon.

Hundreds of corpses have piled up under the city.

From the shock of the bloody battle, Xin Er's mood gradually turned anxious, and he said in his heart: "Why hasn't Guo Yi launched it yet?" ”

Although there is no need to worry about the Qinwang division in the county because of the response of Linghu Feng's old troops in the county, if the battle cannot be fought for a long time, it will inevitably affect morale, and if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that the casualties will be very large.

Guo Yi has his difficulties. Indeed, among the guards were his followers, but they could not come near the gates of the city, because they were not the cronies of the Lord.

Fortunately, he has a plan. Just as Linghu Feng became increasingly anxious, black smoke rose from the city. It turned out that it took the Zoroastrian disciples half a day to finally avoid martial law in the city and gather into a momentum, so they went out inside and outside and set fire to it.

The offensive outside the city was fierce, and the inside of the city suddenly caught fire.

The guards already lacked fighting spirit, and there was chaos immediately. In less than two quarters of an hour, the gates opened. The lord who defended the city has fallen.

The soldiers of the Feng army besieging the city thundered with joy, and all the troops rushed forward.

Xin Er put his heart at ease, smiled and said to Lan Baozhang: "The great thing on the Lord has been completed!" ”

"Who's that? Have you rebelled and gone to the enemy? ”

Shun Lan Baozhang pointed to it, Xin Er saw a force outside the city, about seventy or eighty people, under the leadership of a general, wielding knives and slashing, fiercely scattered the soldiers who rushed into the city, and then came to the top and rushed into the city first.

If Xin Er couldn't tell who was Cao Fei and who was Luo Dang when he was attacking the city in front, he could at least recognize Cao Fei now.

"It's not about joining the enemy, it's about fighting for 100 gold."

The northern city has been broken, and the middle city has not been fought much, so it has also fallen. Xin Er was eager to rush to Beicheng, but there was no military order, so he could only wait outside Dongyuan City. It wasn't until night that Linghu's military order arrived, ordering him to stay and temporarily surround Yuancheng, and tell him to meet him outside the northern city.

Xin Er galloped to Beicheng and saw Linghu Feng outside the city.

Hundreds of pace-riders each carrying torches illuminate the perimeter. Koji Shuo, Fu Qiao and other entourages were on the side. Two bodies lay on the ground. Linghu Feng straddled the horse, took the reins, and saw Xin Er coming, so he made the horse whip point the two corpses, and asked, "Agua, what do you know?" ”

One is Guo Yi; Another high-crowned silk robe, wearing the king's crown, is Ling Fox Yong.
