For such a thing as building a house with a wall, the Chinese people dare not say that they must have built the most beautiful and sturdy, but they have definitely been the fastest since ancient times.

Under the leadership and control of more than 20 craftsmen, Su Guo used bloody force to forcibly drive more than 4,000 Liao people in the city, and repaired the bombed city gate overnight, and it looked taller and stronger than the original Liao people.

"From now on, you people are responsible for repairing the city, as long as you do this well, I can swear to the Buddha that I will never hurt you, if I break this oath, I am willing to be killed by the thunder, but if you don't listen to us, then you can only be driven up the city wall to block the arrows." After inspecting the city wall, Zhang Bin said with a serious and solemn face to the four thousand Liao people who were tired and had a look of despair on their faces after a busy night's work.

The Liao people believe in the Buddha, and the ancients believe in oaths, especially poisonous oaths, so the effect of Zhang Bin's poisonous oath is still very good, not to mention that in this case, as long as there is a little hope of living, anyone who is in despair would rather believe it and will firmly grasp it.

"Uncle Dang, you have worked hard, you have done a good job in this matter, the spies have already received the news, the various Liao tribes near Shuitou City have dispatched all the men, and they will soon be killed outside the city to attack the city, if you didn't take more than 20 craftsmen overnight and forced these Liao people to build the city gate, Shuitou City is probably going to be lost again, so you have made a great contribution, after you go back, I will truthfully report to Han Xianggong and the imperial court." After fooling the more than 4,000 Liao people and sending them away, Zhang Bin turned to Su Guo, who had a sense of accomplishment and bloodshot eyes, and patted his shoulder and said with an encouraging expression.

"Hahaha......... It was Ziyu who gave me a chance. Su Guo's face was suddenly excited, his eyes lit up, this feeling of doing practical things, and making great achievements after doing very important practical things, especially when he didn't sleep, there was still heavy pressure on his body, and he worked hard all night, which made him feel extremely fulfilled, so that Su Guo was very fascinated and enjoyed, this is an experience and wonderful feeling that he has never had when he grew up so big.

Seeing that Su Guo's small universe was in a state of breaking out at any time, and the passion and motivation of the whole person had been completely stimulated, Zhang Bin said again: "Uncle Dang, what will happen next will be a bitter battle, the stability of the city is very important, in addition to leading the more than 4,000 Liao people to continuously repair the city wall destroyed by the Liao army outside, you must be responsible for the security of the city and all the grain, grass and food of the Liao people in the city, and you must be responsible for collecting them together, and responsible for distribution, and fully protect our people." ”

Su Guo didn't hesitate, then nodded and said, "Ziyu, don't worry, I will definitely do these things well." ”

After saying it arrogantly, Su Guo remembered that he didn't have much experience in these things before, and he was just at the level of talking on paper, so he couldn't help but feel a little weak, and hurriedly said: "Ziyu, how many people do you send me to assist me." ”

Zhang Bin smiled: "Give you five hundred people, is it enough?" ”

Su Guo thought about it for a while, but still felt a little bottomless, and said cheekily: "Ziyu, can you send me some more people." ”

Zhang Bin was embarrassed, and finally said: "Okay, give you another 300 people, a total of 800 people at your disposal, but you must not make mistakes in the matter of public security and grain and grass in the city, as well as the repair of the city wall, otherwise not only will you not be meritorious, but you will also be dealt with in accordance with military law." ”

When Zhang Bin said the end, his face was serious, and his tone was even a little harsh, Su Guo couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and suddenly had a strong sense of responsibility in his heart, and said seriously: "Ziyu rest assured, I know the severity, and I will definitely do my best to do this well, and there will be no mistakes." ”

………

………

Outside Shuitou City, the sky was bright, and the Liao army came, and they were all cavalry, because they all came on war horses, but they didn't bring any siege equipment, which made Zhang Bin very satisfied.

Especially after seeing that there were ten banners representing different tribes, Zhang Bin was even more satisfied - this is an army of 20,000 without centralized power, which is equivalent to ten fingers from different hands, and the combat power they exert is definitely less than ten, and even worse than five fingers from the same hand.

Four or five hundred meters away, the names on the ten flags of the Liao army were written in Khitan characters, Zhang Bin did not know this kind of Khitan script, which was also composed of horizontal and vertical skimming, but was completely different from Chinese characters, and no one could recognize Su Guo, Li Siwa and others with solemn faces around him.

But the Zhe clan has been fighting with the Liao people for many years, but Zhe Kerou has recognized some, but they are all small Khitan tribes.

Zhang Bin's eyes were like electricity, and he saw that the middle flag of the ten flags was larger than the other flags, and knew that it was the banner of the tribe where the city lord had fled.

In addition to the large army that stayed half a mile south of Shuitou City, there were thousands of enemy troops on each side and in the north of the place, which were obscured by billowing dust. It's vague, and it's hard to calculate their exact number for a while.

Since ancient times, there are many people in military books who say: Ten thousand people are immediately, and there is no shore and no shore. The Liao people in front of him have far exceeded 10,000 people, and they look like the sea. A black oppressive patch surrounded the city of Shuitou, which was no more than a mile in circumference.

In addition, more than 1,000 Liao cavalry with armor on their bodies galloped outside the city, and in the rumbling hooves like thunder, not only gray-yellow smoke and dust, but also a strong fighting spirit.

"I want to know how many Liao troops there are in front of me?" Generally saw the reality of the Liao army outside the city, and Zhang Bin did not have the slightest fear on his face.

The object of Zhang Bin's questioning was Han Sanlang of the Zhekerou and Pacification Division, as well as the commanders of the four armies in Fuzhou.

Counting soldiers is the most basic subject in military science. A capable scout, or a veteran general, can often roughly see the number of enemy troops in front of him at a glance, and then deduce the total strength of the enemy army.

In the same way, as long as a general with a little military acumen is concerned, he will also cover up and disguise himself through various means in order to prevent the troops under his command from being seen through.

For example, Zhang Bin won the great victory in Dashun City, so he tied a green tree pole to the buttocks of the war horse, raising a large amount of dust, so that the Western Xia army at that time misjudged the number of the Song army, and only then did he have a great victory.

And in front of Zhang Bin and others, the Liao army used the dust kicked by galloping horses to blur the number of its troops.

Zhang Bin had been in Dashun City for more than a year, and he had experienced several times on the battlefield, although he said that he had made great achievements, but he did not have much experience in this area, and he could not judge the accurate number of the enemy army in front of him, so he would ask.

Han Saburo's eyes narrowed, pondered for a moment, and replied: "The head of the third gear, the subordinates thought that there should be about 25,000. ”

Zhi Kerou said confidently: "About 189,000." ”

Zhang Bin noticed the eager expression of Zhimu Qiu standing behind Zhi Kerou, and said with a smile: "General Zhe Xiao was the first to kill the defenders at the gate of the city last night, he is brave and has rich battlefield experience, can you see how many Liao people there are?" ”

Zhemuqiu glanced at his own Lao Tzu Zhe Kerou, hugged his fists to Zhang Bin and said loudly: "Back to the prison army, I think there should be about 20,000 people." ”
