"The head of each team is responsible for observing the enemy's situation, the left and right sides are repelled with bows and crossbows, and the two people in the back are ready at any time, and as soon as the rebels' ladder hits the city, they immediately use their guns to knock it down, everyone understands."

At the head of Yangzhou City, Meng Zhong was wearing a soldier's leather armor, walking around in the city, and his mouth was constantly shouting, if in the past, a small soldier dared to roar like this, and he would have been pulled out and beheaded by the main general to show the public, but in this Yangzhou city, those soldiers and people who were responsible for defense not only obeyed him, but even some of the generals asked him for instructions, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.

"It is said that the folk hidden dragon and crouching tiger, although a certain has known for a long time, but one does not hesitate to share, thinking that the ignorant people are too exaggerated, but I didn't expect it, but today I finally got to see it, a grass people who don't even know a word, actually have a means comparable to a general, it really makes a certain have to admire!"

At the head of the city, Dong Haozhi, the assassin of Yangzhou, said to Di Renjie with great emotion.

Hearing Dong Haozhi's emotion, Di Renjie also nodded in agreement, and said, "Dong Yuanjun's words are good, although this son is from the people, he stands out from the crowd, and comes up with this method of formation, so that the combat effectiveness of our army is no less than several times more than increased. ”

After Meng Zhong got the consent of Di Renjie and Dong Haozhi and led the victims to the head of the city for defense, Meng Zhong found the chaos of the defense of the city, so he proposed a method to Di Renjie, that is, to reorganize the originally chaotic defensive team, and divide everyone into countless squads, each team of five people, of which the team leader is an experienced veteran, and the left and right people who use bows and crossbows are young and strong, and the last two are old and weak or women.

After the implementation of this method, the chaotic situation in the city was immediately changed, the ability to defend was greatly improved, and the casualty rate was also reduced, which is why Meng Zhong, a person who was not even a regular soldier, would be unanimously recognized by everyone.

"Hahaha, it seems that Di Yushi attaches great importance to this son, and if he can get the weight of Di Yushi, the future of this son can be described as immeasurable." Dong Haozhi said with a smile.

"It is my duty to do talent for the country, and besides, when Yangzhou City was in danger, the birth of this son also means that my Tang Dynasty is blessed by God."

"Yes, I just don't know when the reinforcements will come, although with the help of Meng Zhong and the victims, but the attacks of the rebels outside the city are getting stronger and stronger these days, and even at night they will launch sneak attacks, most of us are originally ordinary people, I'm afraid that if it goes on like this, they won't last long." Dong Haozhi said.

"No matter what, even if we fight to the last person, we have to defend Yangzhou City, as long as we hold Yangzhou City, the rebels are the turtles in the urn, and they can't afford to turn up any big storms, in case they take Yangzhou City, it will be a huge disaster for the court and the Tang Dynasty, and when the time comes, even if the rebellion is quelled, I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will suffer huge trauma." Di Renjie looked into the distance and said with a frown.

................................

"Waste, a group of waste, a few days ago, Yangzhou City was crumbling, but now it is becoming more and more stable, you can't even attack the city, an army of 60,000 people, you can't even take a city with thousands of people, you are really not as good as pigs."

Compared with the Tang army at the head of the city, there is a declining atmosphere among the Heavenly Daoist rebels under the city.

Thinking about it, I also know that most of these rebels are victims who have gone south to eat, although at the beginning, they were deceived by the false benevolence and false righteousness of the Tiandao Sect, and the small favor and small favor, thinking that only by overthrowing the Tang Dynasty and establishing a world in which they are the masters will they live a good life.

But for so many days, no matter how passionate people are, under the influence of the fear of dying at any time without seeing hope, they will become decadent or regretful, and this feeling cannot be changed simply by relying on cruel repression, and even the more brutal the repression, it is easy to arouse their rebellious hearts.

"General, it's not that we don't work hard, these days, we lose hundreds of people under the city every day, this can't be faked, it's just that the enemy army at the head of the city is too stubborn, and we can't do anything, I hope the general can understand us and others." Said a rebel in ragged clothes who looked like a leader.

"Hey, hey, hey, I don't blame you, so I complain about General Ben, good, good, good, in this case, what use do I want you to do, come here, pull this coward who destroys the morale of the army out and cut me down, I want all the soldiers to know what happens to those who are afraid and cowardly." Hearing the leader's defense, Li Minghe roared angrily and laughed.

The rebel leader, who was stunned by Li Minghe's sudden decision, only reacted after a long time, and couldn't help but beg for mercy......... Yes...... Spare your life, spare your life, the general spare your life, so-and-so is just telling the truth, the general is sparing his life! ”

It's a pity that Li Minghe, who is determined to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, has no other expression except for a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

'Will not be subject to military orders abroad'

In the barracks, orders are forbidden, and the commander is the sky, the earth, and the only one at this time, and his orders are like holy decrees, and no one dares to oppose and question them.

Soon, a soldier walked in with a tray, of course, it was not a delicacy in the tray, but a hideous, bloody head, the head of the leader who had just been pressed out.

The tray was placed in the middle of the big tent, and everyone present looked at the human head, and all of them were sweating profusely and frightened.

"You have all seen it, this is the end of fearing the enemy, and in the future battle, who dares to retreat, this is an example, I hope you will take this as a warning and don't defy the law." Looking at the frightened leaders, Li Minghe said with a sneer.

"We will abide by the generals and generals, fight bravely to kill the enemy, and strive to take Yangzhou City as soon as possible." All the leaders bowed respectfully.

"Okay, that's good, as long as you can take Yangzhou City, everything in the city belongs to you, and everyone is at the third level of officials and students." Li Minghe is not really reckless, he knows that with the help of this head, although he has successfully suppressed the retreat of all the leaders, it will inevitably be hated, and a slap to a sweet date is the most appropriate way, so it is necessary to reward it.

Sure enough, after listening to Li Minghe's promise, some generals couldn't help but feel a little impulsive.

............................

Just when the leaders of both sides were trying their best for their own interests in Yangzhou City and the barracks of the Tiandao rebels, no one expected that the third force would quietly come outside Yangzhou City.

Shugang Mountain in the southwest of Yangzhou, Shugang Mountain is also known as "the first spiritual mountain in the south of the Yangtze River", and because it is not far from the famous scenic spot Slender West Lake, it has become a famous tourist attraction in the world in later generations, of course, it has really become a tourist attraction in the Qing Dynasty, in the Tang Dynasty, it is only a little famous.

Because Yangzhou is relatively flat on all sides, except for this Shugang Mountain, there is no other highland, in order not to be discovered by the Tiandao rebels outside Yangzhou City, Duan Jian and thousands of Tang troops who have marched for more than ten days are stationed here.

"60,000 troops, in a month's time, they haven't taken Yangzhou City, are these rebels too stupid, or Yangzhou City is too strong?" Sitting on a cliffside rock on Shugang Mountain, Duan Jian looked at the direction of Yangzhou City and said with a sigh.

"Hahahaha, no matter what the reason is, as long as Yangzhou City has not fallen, our trip will not be in vain, but unfortunately, now Yangzhou City is besieged by the Tiandao Sect rebels, and our spies will not be able to enter the city at all, let alone pass on the news, I'm afraid we won't even be able to see each other." Chen Guotai said with a smile.

After Chen Guotai's words were finished, he originally thought that Duan Jian and the others would definitely cater to his words, but he didn't expect that in addition to Duan Jian still looking into the distance, the people around him, Zhou Dao, Duan Mu, and Duan Shui, all looked at him with surprise on their faces, and although they didn't say it, Chen Guotai felt it very clearly.

"How.... Why, it can't be said wrong. After thinking about it, Chen Guotai couldn't help but ask.

"Hahaha..........."

Looking at Chen Guotai, who was still stunned, everyone couldn't help laughing, and this smile made Chen Guotai even more difficult to figure out.

In the end, Su Wan'er was kind and explained to him, "General Chen has forgotten, do we still have an artifact, with it, not to mention being besieged by others, even in difficult places, we can easily reach it." ”

When Su Wan'er said this, Chen Guotai suddenly realized, slapped his head violently, and said with annoyance, "Oh, you see my pig's head, it's really stupid, how can I forget, we still have a flying artifact, with it, if you want to enter Yangzhou City, isn't it easy, Du Du, please ask for help, enter Yangzhou City tonight, and discuss the battle plan with them." ”

The flying artifact is nothing else, it is the hot air balloon made by Duan Jian when it was used to attack Prison Dragon Mountain when it was established in the state.

"Brother Chen, don't be impatient, if it is usual, your request will never be vetoed, but not this time, this time I will go to Yangzhou City, and I am ready to go in person, I hope that Brother Chen can stay and stabilize the morale of the army." After Duan Jian heard Chen Guotai's invitation to fight, he turned around and said.

"Hmmm......"

"What ......"

"No, never!"

...........

As soon as Duan Jian's words came out, everyone was shocked and dissuaded.

The people around, except for Chen Guotai, whether it is Zhou Xing or Le Buping, the Duan family brothers, are all people who regard Duan Jian as the backbone, they will never be willing to take risks with Duan Jian, as for Su Wan'er, let alone say it, they would rather die by themselves than see Duan Jian hurt a little.

As if he was not surprised by everyone's obstruction, Duan Jian still said calmly, "You don't need to dissuade you, this time I have already made up my mind, Yangzhou City, I must go in person, not for anything else, just to meet my teacher, I am also a disciple." ”

"This ........"

As soon as they heard Duan Jian's words, even if they were unwilling in their hearts, they didn't dare to dissuade them, Confucianism pays attention to 'filial piety', and throughout the ages, filial piety is also one of the most important inheritances of Chinese civilization.

In a person's life, in addition to parents and relatives, only the teacher is the only person worthy of filial piety, and in addition to the teacher's teaching, it is not only the truth, but also the most disciple in some cases to play a very big help, which is why there is a saying that 'one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father'.

Now Duan Jian proposed to go to Yangzhou City to visit his teacher, this reason is extremely powerful, even in a dangerous process, in front of the filial piety of the master, it is nothing.

"Lang Jun visited his teacher, I didn't dare to stop him, but no matter what, I asked Lang Jun to bring a slave." Duan Shui was the first to speak.

Sure enough, after Duan Shui, Duan Mu, Zhou Xing and others also spoke one after another, asking Duan Jian to take them with them.

"Hahaha, you don't have to fight, a hot air balloon can only take up to four people, so I plan to do so, except for me, Zhou Xing, Le Buping, Wan'er and I will go together, Duan Shui's injury is not healed, just keep the big nutritional injury, Duan Mu, you remember to take good care of your eldest brother, if something happens to him, be careful that I will deal with you." Duan Jian said with a smile.

Hearing Duan Jian's arrangement, the others no longer argued whether they were satisfied or not.

...............

In the middle of the night, it was dark tonight, and there was no light in sight, and a few miles north of Yangzhou City, a group of people were urgently installing something.

At this time, it will be none other than Duan Jian and his party, who will set off here, called a hot air balloon to Yangzhou City.

The reason why this place was chosen is to avoid the camp of the Tiandao rebels, after all, the hot air balloon is not an airplane, it is impossible to do no gap, this primitive hot air balloon needs a large amount of firewood to be burned into hot gas, so that he has enough power to take off, and the hot air balloon that burns a lot of firewood, in this kind of night, it is no different from a sun.

"Dudu, are you thinking about it, although this artifact is magical, it is not safe, it is better to let the last general go, even if Di Yushi knows, he will not blame you."

Looking at Duan Jian's group of four people who were already standing in the basket and preparing to ascend to heaven, Chen Guotai still said worriedly.

"Hahaha, Brother Chen, don't worry, I made this thing, how to operate me, you are familiar with it, you can rest assured, there is absolutely no problem." Duan Jian replied with a smile.

Then I heard Duan Jian's order, under the manipulation of Zhou Xinghe and Le Buping, the hot air balloon slowly floated, compared to the hot air balloon in the founding of the state, this is already a second-generation product, many places have been improved, not only a lot safer, but also become comfortable.
