Shenzhou Don't drive Du Teng stood by Li Anguo's side with some trepidation.

He is different from Shen Governor Shi Huang Shang, Huang Shang is from Li Anguo's side, Li Anguo's descendant, is the second person in Shenzhou, usually in charge of civil affairs, Suning is in charge of the army with one hand, Du Teng as a special driver, in addition to being in charge of prisons, etc., the most important job is to train young and strong government soldiers as a supplement to the soldiers.

As soon as Suning came back from defeat, he was detained by Li Anguo, and the remaining hundreds of soldiers were also integrated into the personal guard by You Yong. Overnight, the Deep State has changed.

As Suning's cronie, Du Teng originally thought that he was about to accompany Suning, but unexpectedly, he was unharmed and still doing his other thing.

Under the city, a group of scouts galloped wildly, galloping along the drawbridge into the city, the city gate was slowly closed, and on the horizon in the distance, a large group of Khitan cavalry appeared in their eyes.

"How many of the conscripted soldiers have entered the city?" Li Anguo asked suddenly.

Du Teng was stunned for a moment before he realized that Li Anguo was asking him. Because that's what he's in charge of. Fortunately, he is also a capable person, and these days he is even more worried about doing things with a spirit of twelve points, but he will not be asked by Li Anguo.

"Marshal, because the time is too tight, the only people who can be recruited and rushed to Shenzhou are the government soldiers within fifty miles around Shenzhou City, a total of about 5,000 people have entered the city, and some people have also entered the city because they are afraid." Du Teng trembled and said: "Although these people entered the city as a burden, their subordinates considered that most of these people were the families of those government soldiers, so they were also let in, in this case, these government soldiers would fight even harder."

This matter, Du Teng is indeed making his own opinion, although the deep state now has enough grain and grass, but no one knows how long this battle will last, now if you want to transport grain from the outside again, you don't have to think about it, too many people who can't fight have entered the city, for the battle of the deep state, it is indeed an additional burden.

Du Teng thought that he would be reprimanded, but after Li Anguo was silent for a moment, he patted him on the shoulder unexpectedly: "Good job."

"This, this is the duty of subordinates."

"Officers were sent out from other places at that time, how did you order them?" Li Anguo continued to ask.

Du Teng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Jie Shuai, when these people were sent out, Jie Shuai said that in three days at most, Wang Feng's dog thief's soldiers and horses will approach Shenzhou, and maybe there will be Khitan cavalry, so his subordinates thought that those who were far away were afraid that they would not be able to catch up, and even if they came, they could not assemble into an army, and they could only become the targets of slaughter by those Khitan cavalry, so their subordinates boldly let them act at the opportunity. You can not only find a place to hide and wait for an opportunity to sneak attack the enemy, but also retreat in the direction of the surrounding friendly forces, for example, those who are close to Yizhou, after gathering together, will first advance in the direction of Yizhou, and wait until Cao Jianshi's large army arrives and then turn back to rescue Shenzhou, and the same is true for those who are close to Zhenzhou."

Li Anguo glanced at Du Teng with appreciation, he had seen all the panic in the past few days, but in such a state, this person could still arrange things in an orderly and well-founded manner, and he could indeed be regarded as a talent.

"Well arranged." Li Anguo paused, and then said: "You don't have to worry in your heart, Suning is not only my old department for many years, but also my brother-in-law and relatives. The reason why he was locked up first was because he was afraid that he would spoil the overall situation of the Deep State's defense under impulse. You also know how much he values Che'er, Che'er's life and death are uncertain at the moment, if he is allowed to come out, not only can it not help us, but it will be counterproductive, and when this period of time passes, the situation is clear, and he has calmed down, I naturally still have to reuse him. He has been with me since he was eighteen, so how can I harm him?"

"My subordinates understood." Du Teng bowed.

"Do things seriously. You are more familiar with the Shenzhou soldiers than anyone else, and now there are a total of 2,000 armor soldiers in the city, and they will be the main force of the assault and counterattack, and the battle to defend the city will rely more on the power of the government soldiers." Li Anguo's eyes looked at the Khitan cavalry that was getting closer and closer in the distance, and said.

"The subordinates must do their best and dare not slack off in the slightest."

The horses' hooves rumbled, the shouts shook the sky, on the city wall, the faces of the soldiers changed color, many people fought in two streams, and the Khitan cavalry who arrived in advance was only one or two thousand people, but after spreading out, the horses galloped, and the momentum was indeed amazing.

The armor soldiers who were accustomed to seeing the big scene and the Chengde officers on the city wall were not surprised, and You Yong and the others didn't even raise their eyelids.

"Now my promise is nothing." Li Anguo continued to say to Du Teng: "But you have been in Chengde for a long time, and I also know that I, Li Anguo, am not a person who treats my subordinates badly, if I lose this battle and Chengde becomes someone else's, then naturally I won't say anything, if we win by luck, how can Li people swallow this breath, they will inevitably counterattack, and when the time comes, they will naturally have another appointment for you."

"Thank you, Jie Shuai." Du Teng was overjoyed, and the credit of Li Anguo was well known, and now although the promise is still in the air, there is always some hope.

Yizhou Assassin Shi Cao Xin is his example and goal of struggle!

"Marshal, if there is no other command, the subordinates will go to work." Du Teng arched his hand.

"Go get busy with you!"

Looking at this person's back, Li Anguo nodded and said to Huang Shang: "You are right, this person is a talent, at first I was worried that if he regained control of the government soldiers, he would think about getting Suning out, but now it seems that he is a person who understands the general situation and the overall situation, and is quite capable of doing things. Suning is a reckless man, and he can govern Shenzhou to what it is now, it seems that it is because of you and Du Teng."

Huang Shang bowed and said: "Jie Shuai, Su Tingshi is simple-minded and not good at cheating, but he can let go of his subordinates, he is really a very good commander."

Li Anguo nodded silently.

"That night, his subordinates were watched by the people of the Su Thorn History Sect, and they couldn't get out of the mansion for half a step. But I'm afraid Du Beijia was involved." Huang Shang thought about it, but still said the words in his heart.

"It's okay!" Li Anguo waved his hand, "Suning is Du Teng's direct commander, and it is also his duty to be loyal to Suning, so don't mention this matter again. Where is the second brother and Cao Xin, I will go to appease him."

Huang Shang nodded.

"Jie Shuai, can the eldest son get out safely?"

A glimmer of pain flashed in Li Anguo's eyes, "I don't know, but the matter has come to this, his life and death can only be determined by heaven. On the battlefield, facing such a situation, no one is 100% sure that they can protect themselves. You've been on the battlefield before, so you know how many accidents there are on the battlefield!"

Neither of them spoke, just looked at the Khitan cavalry who had already arrived outside the city and walked around the city. These people don't even have a ladder, and now they don't have any effect other than demonstrating to the Deep State. The soldiers in the city also quieted down after the officers and soldiers had a good meal.

Gongsun Changming and Liang Han came over and stood beside Li Anguo.

"Is this the most elite cavalry of the Khitan?" Li Anguo pointed to the Khitan cavalry under the city and asked. When these people walked around the city, they did not forget to show off their equestrian skills to the city, and all kinds of tricks were played to make the soldiers in the city who had never seen the world dumbfounded.

Gongsun Changming shook his head: "This is not the most elite Khitan cavalry, in fact, the best and strongest Khitan cavalry, in the battle with Zhang Zhongwu over the years, has lost half of Tai, and those big tribes that still have some strength have been constantly retreating to the north in order to avoid Zhang Zhongwu. These people are just some weak tribes, and they can't afford to go far, so they can only surrender to Zhang Zhongwu, work for Zhang Zhongwu, and act as his knife in exchange for the survival of the tribe."

Hearing Gongsun Changming's words, Li Anguo's face changed slightly. These Khitan soldiers in front of him are already so strong, but how strong should Zhang Zhongwu's army be when he defeated the Khitans?

"Gong Li doesn't have to worry." Seeing Li Anguo's worries, Gongsun Changming said: "A Khitan soldier and our soldiers are fighting, our soldiers are definitely not opponents, but if both sides are ten people, then the Khitans can only have a sixty percent chance of winning, if there are a hundred people, the momentum of victory and defeat can be reversed, one thousand people, the Khitans will be defeated. The Khitan people's understanding of war is still in the most primitive stage, and the use of weapons is limited to the most basic weapons such as bows, arrows, scimitars, and as for the means of war, they are even less worth mentioning. Zhang Zhongwu has been able to beat the Khitans over the years, and the military strength only accounts for three points, and the rest is economic control and various intrigues and intrigues of division. When it comes to playing with the heart, the ten Khitans together are no match for our Tang people."

Listening to Gongsun Changming's evaluation of his opponent like this, even if Li Anguo was full of thoughts now, he couldn't help but laugh. When Mr. Gongsun said this, I was relieved. It's just that these Khitan cavalry have now arrived in Shenzhou, and I'm afraid that those people in Shenzhou who don't have time to avoid will suffer a big loss."

"Li Gong is right. When Zhang Zhongwu drove these people to fight, he always only gave half of the food, and the rest had to be looted by these people themselves, and if they were not enough food, they would naturally burn and loot on the land of Shenzhou." Gongsun Changming sighed and said, "But now, we can only endure it."

While speaking, the Khitan cavalry that was roaring was divided into several groups and roared away. In the blink of an eye, the city of Shenzhou, in addition to leaving countless messy horseshoe prints, was empty again.

In the evening, the banner of Wang Feng, the envoy of Zhenwu Festival, finally appeared in the field of vision of the people in Shenzhou, looking at the culprit of this defeat, the generals in the city, they were extremely angry.

"Jie Shuai, the other party's foothold is not stable, and the last general asks to lead his troops out of the city to attack." You Yong strode up to Li Anguo and hugged his fists.
