(It couldn't be more wrong to say anything today!) Brethren acceptance! There are still dozens of collections left to four thousand, help collect! ）

When the sun cast her light on the land again, the two camps were lively, the groom and the man got up early, the smoke rose in the two camps, the grooms fed the cattle enough forage, and each animal was fed some beans, the food of these large animals can be as much as the food of five people, and it is impossible to feed them only forage, especially now that they want to pull the cart, they must take care of it more carefully, otherwise they will soon lose weight seriously, especially the war horses, If you don't feed the concentrate for a few days, you will lose your strength and will not be able to ride on them, so the grooms who are responsible for taking care of these animals are very careful to serve them.

As soon as the day dawned in the camp of the Xingtian Army, the horn sounded, and after hearing the horn, a group of soldiers immediately got out of the tent, sorted out their clothes, and began to conduct morning exercises according to the habits of the past.

The Xingtian Army's style is indeed a bit maverick, although Li Zicheng and their righteous soldiers often organize drills, but on the way like this, it is impossible to carry out such exercises, and the Xingtian Army is very abnormal, even in this case, the morning exercise has not been canceled, one by one, the troops of the Xingtian Army, the dragon spirit and the tiger fiercely ran around the camp, and then outside the camp, and also carried out a short queue of drills, until the camp sounded the horn again, Only then did the first team return to the camp and begin to withdraw the military tents and load them on the carts.

Gao Jie and Xing's tossed very late last night, but Gao Jie still didn't dare to stay in Xing's tent, but in the middle of the night, quietly returned to his military tent, and was awakened by the sound of the horn in the camp of the Xingtian Army not far away, got up and came to the outside of the camp, and looked towards the camp of the Xingtian Army.

Every move of the Xingtianjun surprised Gao Jie, he felt more and more that he couldn't see through the team from this pole, Gao Jie, as a person who has been in the army for many years, can of course see the Tao in it, and the Xingtianjun everywhere reveals that kind of unusual behavior, but all the actions show that they are by no means a group of ordinary poles, let alone a group of rabble, they can do such an order and prohibit the soldiers and horses, in any case, they can be called elite soldiers, not to mention that there is no one in their righteous army, Even when they had fought with the officers and soldiers countless times before, they had never seen an army in the official army behaving like this.

Even if Gao Jie was arrogant, at this point, he had to admit that Xiao Tianjian was indeed not an ordinary person, and after smiling bitterly, he shook his head and walked back to his camp reflexively, and began to talk about the matter of pulling out the camp and starting the village.

Although there was the drag of Li Zicheng's old camp, they still rushed to the outside of Longzhou City in the evening of the next day, and at this time, there was already a shouting and killing sound outside Longzhou City, Li Zicheng led his main force, and arrived here in advance in the morning, and then began to storm Longzhou City.

For most of the day, Longzhou City was still not broken by Li Zicheng, but Li Zicheng left hundreds of corpses under the southern city wall of the city, which shows that the defenders of Longzhou City also resisted very fiercely in this day's fierce battle.

When he saw the Xingtian army escorting the old camp to the outside of Longzhou City, Li Zicheng Mingjin withdrew his troops and stopped the attack on Longzhou City.

When Xiao Tianjian and Li Zicheng met, Li Zicheng didn't wait for Xiao Tianjian to ask him about the situation here, so he took the initiative to say to Xiao Tianjian: "General Xiao came just in time, He Renlong, who was stationed in Longzhou City the day before yesterday, had already led his troops to leave Longzhou and rushed to the direction of Baoji County!" There are only less than the previous officers and soldiers left in the city, and there are more than 1,000 villagers who have just been recruited by the governor of Longzhou in the surrounding area, but the foolish brother lacks siege equipment, and he has not been able to quickly capture Longzhou City today! And many brothers have been lost!

General Xiao came just in time, without further ado, tomorrow I hope that General Xiao can help the foolish brother to attack the city together, and it is best to fight Longzhou City before He Renlong returns to defense! ”

Xiao Tianjian looked at the city walls of Longzhou City under the sunset, nodded and agreed: "This is nature!" Tomorrow, he will lead his troops to assist Li Chuang in attacking the city! I won't shirk it! ”

Li Zicheng saw Xiao Tianjian's promise, so he laughed and said: "General Xiao is really cool, I will come here first tonight, the brothers have been fighting all day today, take a good rest, and General Xiao and your brothers have also walked for a day, and they will have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow morning, we will join forces and attack the city together!" ”

Piles of bonfires were lit in the open space in the southwest outside Longzhou City, Xiao Tianjian ordered his subordinates to start camping on the spot, while he followed Li Zicheng and brought several of his subordinates to ride around Longzhou City on horseback and take a look at the situation in Longzhou City.

But after this circle came down, Xiao Tianjian was a little less optimistic, because this Longzhou city compared to several other cities he had seen, obviously the city wall is much newer, and the rammed is very strong, not even a crack is seen, the city wall is covered with cyan city bricks, like iron casting, it is very strong, and the height of the city wall is more than three zhang high, every other section is built with arrow towers, there are three city gates left, each city gate is built with a tall city tower, and there is a perfect city trench outside the city, and there is a sheep and horse wall in the moat, all kinds of imperial defense facilities are very complete, for the siege of the city, Xiao Tianjian and his subordinates can definitely be said to belong to the rookie of the rookies, although they have also attacked a few Zhuangzi, but even if you count the money of Lijiazhuang, it is impossible to build a village wall like the city wall, so the siege and the Zhuangzi are two different things at all, and the little siege experience they have accumulated before, it is like child's play to get here.

Li Zicheng seemed to see Xiao Tianjian's hesitation, so he said to Xiao Tianjian: "Speaking of which, this Longzhou City is a new city that has only been built for a few decades, it is said that when Jiajing was thirty-five years old, there was a earth movement in Longzhou, and the ground movement was very violent, and the entire Longzhou City was completely destroyed overnight, and the people inside and outside the city were killed and injured innumerable, and even the city wall was shaken by the ground movement!"

Later, the imperial court allocated funds to rebuild this Longzhou City, so here in Shaanxi, Longzhou City can be said to be the latest city, so it will be so solid!

However, General Xiao doesn't have to worry, there are very few officers and soldiers in the city, and the rest are just some newly recruited villagers! As long as I wait for tomorrow to launch a fierce attack, we can take Longzhou City in one go, Brother Fool has already inquired, there are tens of thousands of stone grain and grass in Longzhou City, these money and grain were originally to be transferred to Xiningwei, but because we came fast enough, we didn't have time to transport it away! As long as Longzhou City is laid, then we will no longer have to worry about the shortage of food and grass! With this money and food, we can recruit more displaced people into the army, and then the government will have nothing to do with us! ”

Xiao Tianjian admired Li Zicheng's optimism, but he was a little lacking in confidence to lay down Longzhou City this time, Li Zicheng looked down on Xiangyong, but he couldn't look down on these local villagers, don't look at Xiangyong and didn't take the court's salary, but this Shaanxi was originally the hometown of the Qin people, and the local folk customs were originally very strong, for them, defending the city is guarding the home, as long as they don't leave home to fight outside, let them defend the city If they really fight, these Xiangyong dare to fight harder than the official army.

What's more, Longzhou City is built so strongly, don't look at the few defenders inside, and the combat effectiveness of their rebels outside is also very limited, and the siege equipment is not prepared at all.

But Xiao Tianjian couldn't say this, otherwise, it would seem that he was too incompetent, so he nodded again and again, promising to help attack the city tomorrow.

There was nothing to say all night, and at dawn the next day, Xiao Tianjian ordered all the soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army to leave the camp and came to the outside of Longzhou City.

Li Zicheng at this time has already ordered all the generals, out of his camp, in the south of Longzhou City began to line up, compared to Xiao Tianjian's Xingtian Army, their strength is obviously a lot more, but the quality of equipment is not flattering, only more than half of the people are equipped with weapons, and there are some people who have obviously just joined the gang, has not yet got any decent weapons, but this does not affect the morale of Li Zicheng's army, although they were damaged in yesterday's battle, but after all, it was only a tentative attack, more than 100 people were killed, for them, It has long been a matter of course, unlike the Xingtian Army's side, which takes the elite route, if there are more than 100 casualties, it will already hurt the Xingtian Army.

Moreover, Li Zicheng's department has temporarily built a batch of siege equipment yesterday, mainly dozens of long ladders put together, in addition, they used the wheels of several large carts to temporarily transform two cave cars, which is obviously better than the Xingtian Army that has just come over and has not had time to build siege equipment.

However, the Xingtian Army also has an advantage, the number of their artillery far exceeds the number of artillery under Li Zicheng's department, five Furlong machine guns are lined up, plus more than 100 bird guns, and more than 10 tiger squat guns and bowl guns, which also makes Li Zicheng's generals a little red-eyed.

It's just that the strength of the two sides is really not comparable, Li Zicheng's troops came to Longzhou this time, except for the 3,000 people in the old camp who belonged to the old and weak women and children, the available strength was more than 4,000 people, and Li Zicheng rushed to Longzhou in advance, and on the way he was surrounded by nearly 1,000 displaced people, and these people were immediately incorporated into his army and used as combat soldiers, and the overall strength exceeded 5,000.

And in Xiao Tianjian's Xingtian army, there are only 800 soldiers, minus the generals of the scout team, there are only more than 700 people left, plus the number of recruits who have not yet been incorporated into the army, there are only more than 1,200 people, and then some miscellaneous soldiers, the strength of the army is only about 1,000 people, less than one-fifth of Li Zicheng's troops, so after the formation, although Xiao Tianjian's Xingtian army is neat, but from a distance, it is still not as majestic as Li Zicheng's troops.
