At the east gate of Liucheng, hundreds of Han soldiers stood with spears, staring at every move outside the city, the sharp point of the spear flashed a terrifying coldness, under the gusts of wind, the cherry red tassels on the helmets of the Han soldiers danced with the wind, after a big battle, it seemed to be more poignant and bloody under the illumination of the bright sun.

The siege battle was only half a day, and the Xianbei army had ceased fighting, of course, no one in the whole city would believe that they would retreat, and they lost countless troops under Liucheng, how could they not come to take revenge? There is only one reason for them to retreat, they are brewing a bigger siege plan.

In order to understand the situation in the whole city, Fu Quan took people to check one by one, he was not a military genius, but he knew how to make the soldiers willingly work for him after checking the history books. Although he can't learn to wear the same clothes as the most inferior soldiers like the soldier Yasheng Wu Qi, eat the same food, sleep without mattresses, march without riding a car and horseback, and personally carry the bundled food and share weal and woe with the soldiers, the soldiers have malignant sores and suck thick liquid for him, even if he wants to, the soldiers in Liucheng don't dare to let his relatives really do it, so it is better to learn from the previous life of the head of the grassroots soldiers to comfort the grassroots soldiers, to boost morale, and then reward some money to win the heart of the soldiers, in order to serve the dead.

"Mingfu." Gai Yuan greeted Han Dang with a salute.

Fu Quan bowed his head, and then asked, "How is the East Gate?" ”

Gai Yuan replied: "Thirty-two soldiers were lost, forty were wounded, and no one was seriously injured. A few people walked up to the east gate.

Fortunately, the loss is not big.

Fu Quan thought in his heart that when he went to the West Gate at the right time, the private soldiers of the Hao clan led by Guan Yu and Tian Meng had hundreds of casualties, which was much more heavy than the loss of Gaiyuan here. Although the east and west gates are all places of Xianbei feints, and the offensive is not as fierce as the north gate, but there are not many Xianbei people, they all bend their bows and arrows to shoot at the city gate, and the grassland people have good archery skills, so it is strange that there are no casualties.

When I climbed to the top of the city, I saw dozens of wounded soldiers resting on the head of the city, their injuries were relatively light, and they had already been bandaged and treated by medical craftsmen, while the seriously injured had already been sent to Yu Zhong in the official office for treatment, but there was no case of loss of life due to untimely treatment.

Fu Quan and the soldiers shouted: "All the kings are great Han warriors, and they have contributed a lot to the Xianbei Hugou, Quan swears here, he will win the day and will ask the court for merit, Your Majesty is benevolent, and the reward of the marquis will not be stingy, and it will be given to the hands of the kings, otherwise I will not be a person." ”

The soldiers immediately shouted: "Xie Ming Mansion! ”

They were not polite, but sincere, for the meaning of Fuquan's words was obvious, and the reward they deserved was certainly not less. For more than 100 years since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the military service system based on the conscription system has gradually revealed the loopholes in addition to the low quality of the soldiers and the fact that the soldiers have no money and do not fight.

After a conversation, Fuquan immediately looked to the east, and saw that the Xianbei people were cutting down the woods dozens of miles away in the east, seeing that it must mean that they were going to make siege equipment again, and Fuquan couldn't help frowning.

"Wen Yuan, what do you think of what Xianbei people do?"

Gai Yuanwangzhi immediately said: "The Xianbei people must be unfavorable for attacking the city, and they will want to build siege equipment and attack the city in the future." ”

Fu Quan nodded, today the Xianbei people have suffered this loss in the siege of the city, and they have lost thousands of soldiers, they must have to find the field, and it will definitely be more difficult at that time, maybe Tanshi Huai will build new siege equipment, such as siege vehicles or others. The only soldiers under his command are the soldiers who cover the aid of a song, and the team of iron cavalry left by his uncle is extraordinary, followed by the private soldiers of the Hao family, and the other temporarily conscripted soldiers can be described as a rabble.

You have to find a way to delay the Xianbei attack, cause trouble, and at least destroy the siege equipment.

"Wen Yuan, I want to send elite cavalry to rob Hu Ying at night, you have been in the north for many years, with your experience, this strategy can be successful?" Fu Quan's eyes lit up, and he said coldly.

Gai Yuan's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "Night attack? Then he sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Since the rise of Xianbei in the unification of Tanshihuai, Xianbei has become more and more arrogant, and now I have few soldiers in Liucheng, and I will not think that our army will attack at night. It's just a soldier sent, and very few are afraid to return......"

Fu Quan immediately interrupted: "How can no one sacrifice when the soldiers are together?" As long as I get the Fa, I don't ask about the rest, and you don't mention it again. Then he turned his head and asked Zhou Guandao: "Yuanbin, how many horses are there in the county bureau in the city?" ”

Zhou Guan saluted and said: "There are three hundred and sixteen horses in the army. ”

"In this way, plus the Wuhuan soldiers are only nearly six hundred horsemen, too few ......" Fu Quan finished speaking, and then said: "Quickly order the whole city to forcibly recruit horses, regardless of the wealthy clan and the people, and pay for them afterwards, and the violators will be beheaded!" In addition, gather those who are good at horsemanship, tell me that I want to recruit people who dare to die, assemble at the south gate, led by Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, and Shi A, open the treasury, and all the warriors will be rewarded with money. ”

"No!"

The day passed slowly, until the night, the dark curtain had covered the sky, and the Xianbei people did not attack the city again.

Inside the south gate, nearly 1,000 horsemen with torches gathered here. The people on the border have been riding horses since they were children, and among them, except for the recruited Wuhuan cavalry, the rest are brave people who have received generous rewards from the government, including soldiers in the army, private soldiers of the wealthy clan, prisoners, rangers, and evil boys, all of whom are good riders. The only deficiency is that the horses under their crotch are different and uneven, regardless of whether the Xianbei army is outside the city, this is nothing.

"Yun Chang, Han Sheng, Da Ling, this is dangerous, remember not to fight, just enter the camp and kill it. If you can kill Chief Hu, or burn the Xianbei siege equipment, it is also a great achievement", Fu Quan served wine and the three of them asked, at this time more than 1,000 riders present were all serving a bowl of spirits, Fu Quan then shouted: "All the kings drink this cup, I wait for good news in the city." After speaking, he raised the bowl and drank it first.

After that, Guan Yu and Huang Zhong also raised their glasses and drank bitterly, and then smashed their glasses and shouted: "Please wait for good news." Immediately afterwards, the rest of the nearly 1,000 people did the same, and for a time there were fragments of pottery bowls everywhere.

"Pass my order, open the city gate, and go out of the city to attack the Hu camp!"

Fu Quan gave an order, and then nearly a thousand daring spirits who had already eaten wine and meat rode on their horses, and the horses' hooves and horses were wrapped in coarse cloths, and they went out of the south gate in turn, only to feel murderous in the night. Under the blazing firelight, there was an endless chill outside the city, and a killing was inevitable.

Wu Qi, the defender is also good at using soldiers. Wei Wenhou thought it would be. Rise as a general, and share food and clothing with the lowest soldiers. There is no seat in the room, there is no riding in the line, and the food is won by the person, and the labor is shared with the soldiers. If you have a stroke, you will start sucking it.
