The next hundred La Armor warriors to be killed will be Lan Baozhang.

The camp gate has fallen, Bu Lei Gong was killed by Wang Shuwang, and the group of snakes in the camp had no leader, and they were easily conquered by Lan Bao's palm.

Tang Ai got good news that night, but he did not rush to the camp immediately, he slept peacefully, and got up the next day, only to get on the ox cart, and once again took Beigong Yue, Gao Yancao, Tian Ju, Guo Daoqing and other civil and military officials to the camp. Lan Baozhang and Wang Shuwang greeted them at the camp gate. The ox cart slowly arrived at the gate of the camp, Tang Ai did not get out of the car, shook the feather fan, leaned on the railing of the car and asked, "Where is the corpse of Bulei Gong?" ”

When Wang Shuwang pretended to be a common man last night, he spread his hair in a bun and knotted it into a braid, and now he had already retied his hair into a bun, and there was no scarf in hand, so there was no wrap, and his hair bun was exposed, but he showed a pretentious attitude among the generals, and replied: "It's still on the camp wall." ”

"Although it is a mediocre general, it only took me half a trick to break its camp, in the end it has the heart of loving the people, and its corpse cannot be humiliated, sew up its head and bury it!" Tang Ai took off his white curtain, handed it to Wang Shuwang, and said with a smile, "Don't wait for the Lan Lieutenant Department to arrive, Qing with more than 30 soldiers, he bravely pulled out the enemy's camp. I have no other reward, this is with you! ”

Wang Shuwang first replied respectfully: "No." Then he took the scarf and said, "Thank you, General!" ”

"Where are the more than 100 people who fled to the camp?"

Lan Baozhang replied: "Except for those who escaped and did not catch up, there are still thirty or forty people, who are under the custody of the last general's guards, waiting for the general to fall." ”

"Take some of the loot, give it to them, and send it home!"

Lan Bao was stunned? said: "They absconded from the camp? Defection to the captive army, general? Don't you kill? ”

"Nan'an County will set the west for me? From now on, they will be my people in Dingxi, right? How can you kill them at will? Not only can't you kill it, but in order to govern the county in the future? Do you want to get some money with it? to compensate for the burning of their houses and the looting of their fields. ”

Lan Baozhang suddenly realized and said, "What the general said is that the general is not thoughtful. ”

Tang Ai smiled and ordered Lan Baozhang and Wang Shuwang to leave the seized goods here for the time being? Just in case you wait for the tunnel? In addition to the seizures in Zhangdao County, they will be distributed to other damaged local people.

Several of the captured officers of the infantry battalion knelt by the gate.

Tang Ai probed out of the ox cart, picked a majestic one, took a fan at random, and ordered: "Cut off his braided hair?" stripped him of his clothes and gave them to Shi Ping. ”

This command does not need to be explained to anyone. Beigong Yue and others know it? This is a strategy to demoralize the enemy.

The captured officer who was singled out was also unlucky, just because of his mighty looks? After the defeat of the army, he suffered this humiliation again.

Lan Bao palm and others to do it personally? Can't be said? Cut off his braids? stripped off his clothes, laughed, tied him to his horse naked, and the cavalry who followed Tang Ailai's infantry battalion divided several horses and led him to the county seat of Qidao.

Lan Baozhang and Wang Shuwang invited Tang Ai to inspect the camp.

Tang Ai didn't go in, and said lazily: "Little step camp, what is the point of viewing? Divide some soldiers, take care of the captive Hu'er on the spot, and go with me to the camp!" The Red Pavilion has been lowered, let's go to the army tomorrow! ”

Chiting is forty miles away from the county seat of Qidao.

At noon, the Dingss of the army of Adena rode to the west of the city.

Qidao is an ancient county, but the county seat is not ancient. At the end of the Qin Dynasty in the previous generation, the earthquake here was carried out one after another, the old county seat was destroyed, and a new city was restored, and when it came to Cheng and Tang, the Di people here rebelled, and later failed, and the new city was burned down again, so the current county seat was newly built again before the Tang Dynasty moved south, and it was only a few decades ago. There is also a moat outside, several zhang wide, and there are no trees on the riverside, and it is overgrown with weeds. Under the sun, the waves are sparkling. Flags of various colors fluttered on the head of the city, and Qin soldiers in white armor covered the city walls. It can be called a tough fight. On the north side of the city, two miles away, there was a barracks, which was the camp where Qiang Mo and his headquarters were stationed.

The horsemen did not come closer, but dismounted the officer from his horse from a distance, threw him to the ground, poured urine on him, and turned his horse back.

When the guards at the head of the city saw this, they waited for the horsemen to go away, and sent a group of soldiers out of the city to see what was going on. The name of the insulted officer was Otigin, and he was a military officer, and the officer who had taken the lead in the soldiers who went out of the city knew him, and called him down the moat and told him to swim over. When he came ashore, one of the soldiers took off his robe and wrapped it around his waist, so that he could be regarded as a cover for his shame. Took him into the city to meet Shi Ping.

Shi Ping sat in the county hall with a good look, and was relaying to his subordinates the situation of the battle of Shichang from the military report, when he suddenly heard that an officer in the guard asked to see him, and ordered him to enter the hall, and looked up, and the embarrassed appearance of Tijin suddenly fell into his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel bad immediately, after listening to the report of the guard officer, he knew that Tijin was actually sent naked, and he was drowned on him by several escorted Dingxi knights in front of the guards at the head of the city, and he became more and more annoyed, and asked Tijin a few words, and Tijin cried with a sad face, Talking about the fall of Chiting and the beheading of Bu Lei Gong, Shi Ping was furious, slapped the case hard, and ordered: "Beheaded!" ”

He knelt on the ground and said, "General, look at Lord Qi's face......"

Just as the Tang people pay attention to the family reputation, and the scholars are like worlds apart, the Hu people also pay attention to their background, and this Tijin also has some background. His father was the chief of the Ati tribe in the temple who was killed by Pu Changsheng himself, and he was killed by his father because he interceded for the chief of the Qi Fold, the sect master of his department and the drunken gaffe. Because of this relationship between the tribe of master and servant, and the death of his father because of his master, Tijin is quite taken care of by the chieftain of the Qi Fold. This "Lord Qi" is talking about the current chieftain of the Qi Folding Department.

"You are worthy of Tiqi-sama! Lost the face of Lord Qi! Shi Ping was in the depths of the hall, and Tijin was at the door of the hall, the two were quite far apart, it was said that they couldn't smell the smell, maybe it was a psychological factor, Shi Ping faintly felt ashamed into her nose, she never expected that it was only one day, Chiting was lost, and she was even more annoyed and hateful, urging repeatedly, "Take it down, bring it down!" Cut down, hang its head in the city, show it to the three armies to see! ”

The officer who came with the guard dragged him up, took him down, obeyed Shi Ping's order, and killed him in the county governor's mansion, took his head, went to the city, erected a bamboo pole, and hung it on the top.

In the county hall in the city, Shi Ping couldn't sit on the hu, so he paced in circles in the hall, and said angrily: "Bu Lei Gong is so useless! How many days have you been in Chiting? I lost the red pavilion! In vain, the king once praised him, saying that he knew the soldiers and loved the people, and he had the legacy of the captain! Tijin lost the face of Lord Qi, and Bu Lei Gong also lost the face of Captain Bu! Stopped, looked at the generals in the hall, and asked, "...... The Red Pavilion has been lost, and Tian Ju will come to my city by the day after tomorrow at the latest! What can you do to defend against the enemy? ”

One person said: "My county town is strong, far from being comparable to the Chiting Battalion, there are only 5,000 soldiers in the Tianju Department, and there are more than 3,000 guards inside and outside my city, even if they are under my city today, there is nothing to fear!" When he comes, the last general will cut off the head of the general and sacrifice it! ”

One person said: "Bu Lei Gong, the son of the Tai Lieutenant, the status is noble, Chiting, I have a barrier before the road, and the land is to be Jin, this Bu Lei Gong is dead, Chiting is lost, and he is humiliated by the guards,...... General, the morale of our defenders may be affected by these aspects. He said worriedly, "Although the number of our defenders is not lagging behind, the morale is depressed, and the city is not easy to defend." ”

This person is a Tang man, and although he speaks in Chinese language, he also speaks crepe.

What he said was what Shi Ping was worried about.

Shi Ping asked, "Do you have any countermeasures to boost the morale of our army?" ”

The Tang man said: "You can be angry, but you can't vent it." Now that the morale has been drained, there are only two ways to drum it up. ”

"Which two ways?"

"One is to use the news of victory to encourage the soldiers."

"What about the other one?"

"The other is to hope that Captain Gou's department can rush back in time, and when we see our reinforcements arrive, the morale can also be restored!"

"Captain Gou", that is, the chief general of the Nan'an soldiers and horses who went south to aid Xinxing County on Shi Ping's order. After Shi Ping heard that the "Tian Ju Led Department" came to fight Nan'an, he sent someone to summon Gou Zhizheng to come back, but until now, Gou Zhizheng has not returned.

Shi Ping pondered for a moment and said: "Calculating the distance, Lao Gou should have come back a long time ago, he has not returned yet, or he has been blocked by the Long army of Longxi County on the south bank of Weishui." You can't completely count on Lao Gou. Your first solution is not bad,...... I will spread the word to the city, and I will say that the Qin Thorn History Department has won a great victory in Shichang, and it will not take a few days for his reinforcements to arrive in Qidao! ”

Shi Ping had just relayed to the generals the latest battle situation in Shichang, Qin Guangzong's 8,000 follow-up troops had only arrived in Shichang, and the two sides had not officially started fighting, so where did the "big victory" come from? Needless to say, this is clearly a lie made up by Shi Ping to improvise and boost the morale of the guards.

The generals all said: "The general's strategy is clever, and the soldiers will definitely boost their morale when they hear this news." ”

After the military discussion was dispersed, the generals returned to their headquarters, and the false news of the "great victory of Shichang" was spread.

With such an embarrassed appearance, there were already many guards who guessed that when Chiting had fallen and the army's morale was about to be chaotic, the fake news was at the right time. First, because of the shock of the head of the Tijin, and because of the encouragement of false news, the morale of the defenders of the road was stabilized.

……

On the morning of the next day, Shi Ping received an urgent report in the county government that the Dingxi Infantry led by Tian Ju appeared in the west of the city.

Shi Ping hurriedly left the house, went to the west city wall, climbed to the top of the city, and looked at it.

At first, only to see the dust in the distance, soon, the marching team of the Dingxi army is like a black line that can not be seen, now in front of the eyes, as it gets closer and closer, see more and more clearly, until the Dingxi soldiers arrived four or five miles outside the city, raise their eyes to see, the field is full of foot horses, ladders, catapults, crashes and other large siege equipment mixed in the meantime, if the beast ambushes, the banner is like a forest, the drum horn is like thunder, thousands of troops raise the lance forward, ten thousand horses gallop in the field, although standing on the high city wall, also feel the tremor of the ground.

Shi Ping was shocked, looked back at the general who was in charge of investigating the enemy's situation before, and said, "This is a fucking 5,000-step horse?" ”

Dozens of Dingxi knights broke away from the team, galloped to the moat in the west of the city, and shouted in unison: "Dingxi Holiday, Jianwei General Tang Gong, today led Wang Shiyong to 100 troops, 20,000 foot cavalry, Val Nan'an!" Tang Gong Order: Sacrifice the city, avoid death; If you don't fall, the city will be slaughtered! ”
