(First update.) ）

Guo Chongtao was a thoughtful person, and when he saw that Li Cunqiao agreed to his proposal, he immediately added: "Although it is not difficult to build a city, if Wang Yanzhang learns of our move, he will definitely come to attack the minister and General Li, so that we will not have time to build this city smoothly, if the situation is really like this, then it will be a little troublesome." Because of this, the minister asked His Majesty to recruit the dead soldiers to contain Wang Yanzhang, as long as Wang Yanzhang could not go east within ten days, the minister could guarantee the success of the city. At this time, we no longer have to be afraid of Wang Yanzhang's eastward strategy. ”

Wang Yanzhang's camp was fortified layer by layer, killing every step, so Guo Chongtao said that he wanted Li Cunqiao to recruit dead soldiers to fight. As soon as Li Congjing heard this, he secretly rejoiced that he was fortunate that he had just invited for battle, if he stayed here, he would be sent to fight the Liang camp as a dead soldier one day, and he would lose a lot.

After the big tent agreed on everything, Li Congjing and Guo Chongtao went out together, the former went to gather the hundred battle army, and the latter also had to make corresponding preparations. Because the Hundred Battles Army had to hide from Wang Yanzhang when it went to build the city, the Hundred Battles Army had to hide its whereabouts when it withdrew from the camp, and at the same time, Li Cunqiao had to send sergeants to the original Hundred Battles Army's station. The transfer of tens of thousands of horses is not a small thing that can be carried out at night.

At night, the horses of the Hundred Battles Army were wrapped in hooves, carrying various things, and after the assembly, they did not play too dazzling torches, and drove out of the rear camp gate one after another, and under the leadership of Li Congjing, they converged with Guo Chongtao, who had been waiting on the side, and went east.

The cool breeze was blowing, the journey was long, and the moonlight army marched silently all the way, and the sound of the wheels falling on the ground merged with the sound of the pace, which was particularly low. Li Congjing and Guo Chongtao walked side by side, talking about some next arrangements. When they were in Weizhou before, the two had already worked closely once, but it was for private matters, but this action was a public matter, in fact, when it came to the two of them, public and private matters have not been so clearly divided.

Along the way, Li Congjing and Guo Chongtao walked together, lived together, and ate together, although the two had a lot of age differences, they could be called friends who forgot their years, but there was no barrier to communication, which was not only due to the deep friendship between the two, but also thanks to Li Congjing's two lives. At the beginning, Guo Chongtao was completely a senior brother to Li Congjing mentality, with a top-down perspective, but after getting along, Guo Chongtao had to lower this top-down angle again and again, and in the end, it had become a level-eyed view.

After arriving at the predetermined location on the east bank of Bozhou, the two took craftsmen to survey the water and land topography, quickly demarcated a place, and without wasting a single bit of time, they let the craftsmen and soldiers they brought to start building the city. Flat ground from the city, is the physical work is also technical work, not to mention to build a military fortress, although the scale of the city is not particularly large, but the technical content is still very high, from laying the foundation to the stone to build the city, pouring the wall, building the corner tower, the workload of each part can be described as heavy.

In addition to keeping an eye on the construction of the city day and night, Li Congjing and Guo Chongtao sent a large number of scouts to scatter around the west, reporting the progress of the project to Li Cunqiao on the one hand, and keeping an eye on the movements of the Liang army on the other. The scouts reported several times a day, and most of them said some scenes of Li Cunqiao and Wang Yanzhang fighting.

As Li Congjing expected, the dead soldiers sent by Li Cunqiao to attack Wang Yanzhang's ironclad camp suffered heavy casualties, not to mention being able to attack the camp, it was already extremely difficult not to be beaten by Wang Yanzhang to cry his father and call his mother, and the corpses outside the Liang camp were increasing day by day, and the Liang camp was still as stable as Mount Tai. At the same time, the military city under the two of them was also built day by day, and the deadline for Guo Chongtao and Li Cunqiao was ten days, which was not an exaggeration, and the construction period could only be advanced, and it was impossible to postpone it. Li Congjing and Guo Chongtao knew the stakes, so they rushed to work day and night.

In the vast wilderness, digging ditches and building soil, the city is increasing day by day from the ground, to the beginning to take shape, and then to the basic completion of the outline. In just five or six days, the city was basically completed, and looking at the crouching tiger-like city in front of him, Li Congjing couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

He said to Mo Li beside him: "Heaven and earth are not double, and there are no nine roads, as long as you dare to take it, even the sun and the moon can be grasped in your hands." ”

It was at this time that the scout brought back the news that Wang Yanzhang was leading his army to attack. Li Congjing didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly discussed countermeasures with Guo Chongtao.

In the original history, it only took a few months to destroy the Shu State, and the military master who destroyed the country was like a bag and a treasure, at this time he frowned and said in a deep voice: "The military city has just been built, the sand is loose, and it has not had time to reinforce, and all kinds of city defense equipment have not yet been arranged in place. Congjing, do you have a countermeasure to such a situation? ”

How could Li Congjing not know Guo Chongtao's intentions, he said: "Congjing led the Hundred Battles Army to come to help, and the precaution was that Wang Yanzhang discovered the strangeness in advance and led the army to attack, and now it is really like this, it is the time for my Hundred Battles Army." Brother don't worry, you just need to strengthen the city in the rear, and the brother will lead the army forward to intercept Wang Yanzhang. ”

Guo Chongtao also meant this, seeing that Li Congjing said it, he was not hypocritical, took his hand and said: "Wang Yanzhang is a famous general in a hundred battles, not to be underestimated, my brother knows that you are brave, and the army can fight in a hundred battles, but how can my brother bear you to go alone to meet the enemy?" The matter of fortifying the city is handed over to the craftsman, and my brother will walk with you, and it just so happens that you and my brother are of the same heart, and we will meet this king iron spear for a while. ”

Guo Chongtao is telling the truth, with him watching from the sidelines, helping to arrange the troops, and fighting Wang Yanzhang Li Congjing is also more certain, after all, Wang Tiegun is the first general of the Liang Dynasty, although Li Congjing is confident and even a little conceited, he is not stupid, and he is not arrogant to the point of thinking that he is invincible in the world, and said at the moment: "Okay, brothers are of the same heart, and their benefits are gold." ”

Wang Yanzhang had already led a large army to rush over, Li Congjing and Guo Chongtao didn't have much time to plan anything, and the two of them were now leading 20,000 hundred battle troops, several miles out of the city, and set up a formation. The army has the Yellow River in its left hand and Bozhou in its right hand, and it is arranged into a large phalanx in a regular manner.

As the saying goes, there are 10,000 people, boundless, not to mention the formation of a large army, there is a strict gap between the soldiers, and the formation is even more spectacular. 20,000 people are a large phalanx, each commander is a small phalanx, and 40 small phalanxes of 500 people form a whole large array, covering an area of several miles.

When the formation of the Hundred Battles Army was opened, Wang Yanzhang also arrived. The formation of the Hundred Battles Army is not small, and the Liang Army's formation is even more terrifying, just covering an area that is two or three times that of the Hundred Battles Army, which means that the Liang Army has at least fifty or sixty thousand people, and it looks quite capable of bluffing.

"I have heard that Wang Yanzhang is good at using soldiers, and now it is true." On a huge watchtower behind the Hundred Battles Army, Guo Chongtao praised lightly, pointed to the Yellow River, and said to Li Congjing, "From Jing, you can see that Wang Yanzhang has set up more than a dozen huge ships on the river, across the river, and the momentum is mighty, this is a move to cut off my reinforcements." The war has not started, and those who think about advancing and retreating left and right first, the demeanor of famous generals is also. ”

Although Guo Chongtao admired, it was nothing more, and he did not show any cowardice and convincing, which shows that he is also arrogant and ambitious, Li Congjing laughed softly: "Wang Yanzhang has a heavy army on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has isolated our reinforcements, which is to eat us in one bite." ”

"Exactly." Guo Chongtao nodded. As soon as he finished saying this, he saw the banner of the Liang army on the opposite side flying sideways, the cavalry galloping, and then the horn sounded - this meant that the Liang army was going to attack.

Wang Yanzhang rushed over non-stop, didn't say a word, didn't stop for a moment, stood up and started to attack, on the one hand, it shows that Wang Yanzhang wants to seize the time and break the city before Li Cunqiao arrives, on the other hand, it also shows that the Liang army is strong.

In the army formation of the Hundred Battles, the 3,000 people of Meng Ping's department are located in the front, and the left and right are Li Shaocheng and Meng's three divisions, the former is an elite general, and the latter is brave and brave, which is the core of the army. The three thousand gentlemen are all in the army, distributed on both wings, and respond to all sides. Chen Qinglin's 2,000 Heyang army was on the left flank, and the other divisions were in the formation. The entire large array is arranged without profundity, highlighting combat power, ensuring flexibility, and coordination between all parties.

Li Congjing's watchtower is more than ten zhang high, and the entire battlefield situation is unobstructed, and it is precisely because of this that Guo Chongtao can see the Liang army's giant ship on the Yellow River, and in the Liang army's array, the watchtower is also built.

At this time, the Liang Dynasty, the rich people of the country, the fertile fields for thousands of miles, and the dynasty with the most powerful country in the world, there was no one. The Tang Dynasty, whose name is Li Tang, intends to inherit the orthodoxy of the world, and there is no one who dominates the world, the most heroic and warlike state.

Wang Yanzhang, when the world's famous generals, Rong Ma life, famous all over the world, to this day, wherever the soldiers go, the mediocre generals will collapse without a fight, and the ordinary generals will be defeated in a battle, and they will be the strongest military commander of the Liang Dynasty, there is no one. Li Congjing, a rising star of the Tang Dynasty, did not know that there was such a person in the world a year ago, and he was still unknown half a year ago, but now, no one doubts that he is the star of the future, and he is the strongest general of the young generation of Datang, and there is no one.

The Liang army on the river, the most elite force of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Liang Dynasty, has been operating on the river for many years, knows everything about grass and trees, often goes north to fight, and the Tang army is commonplace. Hundred Battles Army, the new army, within a year, into the army in Qimen, prestige in Huaizhou, famous in Mengzhou, the elite in the army are all six skills, extraordinary skills, several wars, brave and dare to fight the prestige, no one dares to deny.

Tang Liang battled, and the elite fell in front of the battle. The first confrontation between Li Congjing and Wang Yanzhang was a face-to-face head-to-head hard shock, without the slightest fancy, and the only one who competed was the word "combat power". There are only six words that determine the situation on the battlefield: if you are strong, you will win, and if you are weak, you will die.
