Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Li Qing did not say that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but said that he was afraid of harming the people in the city, and this was said in Yan Yu's heart, he nodded again and again, and said: "You and I, as the commander and county lieutenant of Xiliang County, can't ignore the life and death of the people in the city!" ”

"Exactly!" Li Qingda nodded.

Yan Yu no longer hesitated, and shouted at Liu Zhi outside the city: "Brother Boxian, if the official surrenders to sincerity, Da Sima will really not be guilty of the past?" Won't it hurt the people of the city? ”

Liu Zhi's face was straight, and he replied loudly: "Zhi is guaranteed by the head!" ”

Yan Yu stomped his feet as if he had struggled fiercely, and said, "Xiaguan trusts Brother Boxian's personality and is willing to surrender to Da Sima!" As he spoke, he gave the order: "Open the gates!" ”

With Yan Yu's order, he heard a creaking sound at the city gate, first the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and then, the city gate opened, and the officials of Xiliang County, led by Yan Yu, walked out of the city one after another. Seeing this, Liu Zhi was not surprised at all, Yan Yu and Li Qing were both greedy for life and afraid of death, at this time, they saw their more than 2,000 soldiers and horses approaching the city, plus there was the main army of the commander of the lord behind them, with the conduct of these two people, they would never be based

The city held on.

Facts have proved that Liu Zhi's speculation is not wrong at all, Yan Yu and Li Qing knew that Liu Xiu had come to Xiliang in person, and they were so frightened that they didn't even resist, and directly surrendered the city.

Liu Zhi took Xiliang City without bloodshed, and the news soon spread back to Liu Xiu.

Hearing the battle report from the front, Liu Xiu smiled and said to the left and right: "It seems that I really chose the right person by letting Bo Xian lead the army to attack Xiliang, our side did not lose a single soldier, it was effortless, and successfully took Xiliang City!" ”

Everyone around them threw their hands on their horses and said, "The lord is wise! ”

Kou Sui asked, "My lord, when we get to Xiliang, should we go into the city?" ”

Liu Xiu thought about it, shook his head, and said: "Once you enter the city, I'm afraid that you won't be able to leave today, and it is imperative that our army rush to Xindu City as soon as possible to solve the urgent need of Xindu City!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Choshi and asked, "Second time, is there any news from the Xindu City?" ”

Choshi said: "There has just been a report back, and now Chen Yi is commanding more than 10,000 people to storm the capital city!" ”

Liu Xiu frowned and said, "Didn't the five counties send six thousand troops?" How did it become more than 10,000 again? ”

Choshi said, "I heard that a part of the Fifth School Army also joined in!" ”

"Five Colonels!" Liu Xiu frowned and asked, "When did the Fifth School Army collude with Wang Lang?" ”

The Fifth School Army was one of the rebel armies in Hebei, with a large number of people, and it was rumored that there were more than 100,000 people.

Choshi said: "The spies didn't find out the exact news, but I heard that Wang Lang intended to appease the Fifth School Army, and promised the Fifth School Army that as long as he was willing to submit to him, the leader of the Fifth School Army could be named the Marquis and pay homage to the Prime Minister!" ”

Liu Xiu narrowed her eyes, lowered her head, and was silent in thought. Wang Lang's Handan court had little contact with the local rebel army in Hebei, although Wang Lang threw an olive branch to the rebel army, but the rebel army did not respond. Liu Xiu can somewhat understand some of the thoughts in the hearts of the rebels, first

Second, the rebel army is now also waiting to see who can win in the end.

However, the Fifth School Army fell to Wang Lang, this move undoubtedly broke the current delicate balance, and whether it would trigger a series of chain reactions and let more rebel troops defect to Wang Lang, it is really uncertain now.

Kou Sui took a breath and said with a solemn face: "Lord, the Fifth School Army has fallen to Wang Lang, which is very unfavorable to us!" ”

Now there are more than 10,000 troops besieging Xindu City, including 6,000 county soldiers and more than 4,000 Fifth School Army, but who knows if there are follow-up reinforcements from the Fifth School Army?

Once you rush to Xindu City and bump into the follow-up reinforcements of the Fifth School Army, your situation will be critical, after all, you only have 7,000 soldiers now.

Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and asked, "Second situation, are there other five school troops near Xindu City?" ”

Choshi shook his head and said, "The spies don't have a return for this, either they don't have it, or they don't find out!" ”

Liu Xiu thought about it again, immediately made a decision, and said: "Xindu County must not be given to Wang Lang, pass the order, the whole army marches at full speed, and must arrive in Xindu City within three days!" ”

On the side of Xiliang City, Yan Yu, who surrendered to Xiancheng, knew that Liu Xiuzheng was commanding the army and rushed over to Xiliang City.

After seeing Liu Zhi outside the city, he simply didn't return to the city, so he asked someone to fetch a rope and give it to Liu Zhi to tie himself up.

Seeing this, Liu Zhi immediately understood Yan Yu's intentions, he was putting on a posture of pleading guilty, and wanted to wait for the lord to arrive outside Xiliang City. Liu Zhi didn't mind helping Yan Yu in this scene.

He tied Yan Yu with a rope, and the latter knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed forward.

It didn't take long for Liu Xiujun to appear in people's sights. Li Qing first exclaimed: "It's coming, it's coming!" As he spoke, he fell on his knees and bowed forward.

But what Yan Yu and Li Qing never expected was that the army led by Liu Xiu did not enter Xiliang City at all, but walked directly in front of the city and continued to march east.

Yan Yu, Li Qing and others, who were kneeling on the ground, waited for a while, but they didn't see anyone coming, the two raised their heads cautiously, and saw that the soldiers and horses of the brigade were passing in front of the city, and both of them were at a loss.

Before they could open their mouths to ask questions, they saw a horse running quickly. The knight on the horse, whom Liu Zhi knew, was one of the lord's personal guards.

"Mr. Void Court!" Don't look at Liu Zhi has been named a partial general, but he doesn't dare to put on an official show in front of the virtual court. People who can do things by the side of the lord, regardless of the level of official position, are by no means ordinary people.

"General Liu!" Xuting turned over and dismounted, bowed to Liu Zhi, and then, he asked, "That is Xiliang Ling?" ”

Yan Yu's body shook, and he hurriedly kowtowed forward, and said in a trembling voice, "Go down...... Xiaguan Yan Yu, knock to see your lord! ”

Xuting said loudly: "The lord has an order, the Xiliang order is meritorious in the city, the past is wrong, whether he can succeed the Xiliang order, can be decided by General Liu!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Liu Zhi hurriedly intervened to give a salute.

Yan Yu bowed forward again and again, and said urgently: "Thank you for the grace of Sima not to kill!" Xiaguan Xie Da Sima does not kill the grace! ”

Xuting didn't linger long, and after passing Liu Xiu's order, he nodded to Liu Zhi, and then got on his horse and turned his horse away.

After the void court left, Yan Yu, Li Qing and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Liu Zhi stepped forward, helped the two of them up from the ground, and asked with a smile: "Yan County Order, Li County Lieutenant, what Zhi said is true, right?" ”

When Yan Yu and Li Qing heard this, they knelt down in unison, kowtowed to Liu Zhi, and said, "If General Liu has to mention something today, I am afraid that the lower officials will be lost!" The grace of saving lives, the lower officials are grateful! ”

Liu Zhi helped the two of them up again, untied the rope on his body, and said, "Okay, let's go into the city and talk!" ”

Let's say that Liu Xiu and other soldiers, all the way to the east, first passing by Xiliang, and then bypassing Changcheng, Fuliu, all the way in a hurry, eating and sleeping in the open, two days later, has approached the capital of Xin.

Before Liu Xiujun arrived near Xindu City, an army appeared in front of him. On the handsome banner of this army, there is a big Chen character written on it. Seeing this handsome flag, people also know who the army on the opposite side is.

Kou Sui, who was next to Liu Xiu, looked at the army on the opposite side and said, "Lord, it seems that Chen Yi has transferred the main army of the siege to block our army!" ”

Liu Xiu nodded, looking closely at the army opposite. This army of soldiers and horses, the strength should be no less than 10,000 people, in the center of the phalanx, the soldiers are all wearing black military uniforms, black leather armor, typical Wang Mang's army dress.

You don't need to ask to guess that the soldiers of the central phalanx are all the soldiers of the five counties and counties convened by Chen Yi. The phalanx on the left and right sides were slightly smaller in number, dressed in disorderly clothes, and the weapons were also varied, which must be the army of the five schools to reinforce Wang Lang's army. At this time, Chen Yi put out a rectangular array. The rectangular formation is the most basic formation, there are no superfluous patterns and changes, the formation of the whole army is rectangular, it can be attacked, retreated can be defended, but the attack is not strong, the defense is not strong, and it seems to be relatively flat

Modest, but with no obvious holes.

Seeing Chen Yi put on a rectangular formation to deal with his side, the corners of Liu Xiu's mouth raised slightly, and said, "Chen Yi has no determination to win!" ”

With superior troops, such a rectangular formation is put out, which is equivalent to indirectly showing Chen Yi's current psychology, I don't seek merit, but I seek no fault!

If he loses in a head-to-head confrontation with a rectangular formation, no one will be able to find fault with him.

When the rest of the people heard this, they were secretly muttering in their hearts, if they were Chen Yi, commanding 10,000 soldiers and horses, and facing the lord's 7,000 soldiers and horses, it was estimated that they would also put up a rectangular formation to deal with it.

Quite simply, the prestige of the lord is too great. In the battle of Kunyang, the lord defeated the 400,000 Mang army with 3,000, and whoever had a head-to-head confrontation with the lord would not have too high morale, and they would all choose a conservative formation.

Liu Xiu looked left and right and said, "Wu Han listens to the order!" ”

"The last general!" Wu Han urged the horse to come out and gave a salute to Liu Xiu on the horse. Liu Xiu said: "You lead the Yuyang cavalry, inserted by the left flank of the enemy, and take the Chinese army directly!" ”

"The last general obeys!"

"Geng Yi obeys the order!"

"The last general!"

"You lead the cavalry of the upper valley, insert from the right flank of the enemy, and take the middle army directly!"

"The last general obeys!"

"Jia Fu!"

"The last general!"

"You lead five hundred to run for your life, follow me to attack the enemy head-on, wait for the opportunity to move, and take the Chinese army directly!"

"The last general obeys!"

At this time, Liu Xiu's life was the famous life army of the Han Dynasty. What is running for life, following orders, and running when you hear orders, so it is called running for life.

The Rush Army is all elite soldiers, and all of them are outlaws, as long as there is an order from above, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, they dare to break inside.

In the Han Dynasty, there were two major death squads, one was the 'brave soldiers' and the other was the 'Running Army'.

These two major death squads are all used to charge into battle, and the casualty rate is naturally extremely high, but the treatment in the army is also excellent.

For example, they can bring their female dependents with them in the army, and their salaries are much more generous than ordinary soldiers, and before every big battle, they usually find a hidden place and bury the gold and silver on their bodies first.

Whether it is a brave soldier or a Ben Ming army, most of them are concentrated in the north and are used to deal with the Huns, and the five hundred Ben Ming army under Liu Xiu's command are recruited for him by Shanggu Taishou Geng Guo and Yuyang Taishou Peng Pet.

It can be said that Liu Xiu's achievements in Hebei, although the soldiers under his command have made great contributions, but the merits of Geng Guo and Peng Chong are not inferior to those of the soldiers.

Although the two of them did not directly charge into battle, they provided Liu Xiu with a steady stream of rear support, which provided huge logistical support for Liu Xiu who was fighting on the front line.

War is not anyone's strong force, who can be invincible in the world and dominate the country. In the competition for the world, the competition is still comprehensive strength, including time, location, and people, including military strength, popular support, morality, logistics, economy, and a series of factors.
