[I'm sorry, the update was late, but fortunately I didn't miss the appointment.] Please brothers continue to support Lao Niu! 】

In the past, Guo Ye pinched the handle of everyone and was controlled by others, and then there were thieves and soldiers who came to the city only ten miles away, the situation was grim, and the war was about to break out.

A total of 17 Longxi businessmen and big families present were all pinched by Guo Ye, and no one would be stupid enough to be willing to be the second He family.

Under the rat taboo, everyone can only sign on the spot, and are willing to pay two silver taels to reward the officials and young men who defend the city.

Most of the people present contributed 3,500 taels, and the small ones were 1,800 taels, depending on their personal financial resources. On this occasion, Guo Ye knocked out nearly 30,000 taels of snowflake silver.

It's really a rush to come and a bust.

Seeing that the matter had been decided, Guo Ye instructed Zhu Fatzi to be responsible for receiving the reward silver, but what about him?

He hurriedly took Cheng Erniu to the gate tower of Dongcheng City and went to supervise the battle.

As the so-called commander of an army is the soul, if Guo Ye, the spiritual leader of the two hundred yamen, does not come to the front line in person, then how can the yamen soldiers who have not yet condensed and fluctuated slightly at this time fight bravely to kill the enemy, and how can they coexist and die with Longxi County?

Out of the yamen, Guo Ye and Cheng Erniu rode a horse together and hurried to the gate of Dongcheng, at this moment, if he Guo Xiaoge retreated in the rear, then the city did not need to be attacked by thieves, and it would collapse by itself.

Guo Ye's history of all the battles in which he won more with less was the belief that he would win and the determination to never back down in the face of death.

He must be on the front line, he must stand at the top of the gate of the East City, because he is the banner that will never back down.

As long as he Brother Guo is here, the battle flag will not fall, and there is always hope in the hearts of the brothers.

Without him, the hearts and ears of the people

Ten miles away, on the high slope, nearly a thousand people were scattered around, or making a fire to make food, or drinking and laughing, or roasting meat over a bonfire, and from time to time there was the sound of laughter.

Under the high slope is the wilderness plain, a horse and a flat river, there is no mountain obstruction, just stare at the view can vaguely see the city gate building of the east city of Longxi.

That is to say, as long as you go down this high slope, you can ride a horse and rush to Longxi County, and you will arrive at it in a short distance.

This high slope is also known as the ghost horse slope, which is the first barrier to the outside world in Longxi County.

Today, however, it has become a concentration camp for water bandits and mountain bandits.

These nearly 1,000 people are the army of thieves and robbers who jointly attacked the city by Zheng Sanjiang, a water bandit from the Minjiang River, and Meng Laogui, a bandit from Sunset Mountain.

Nearly a thousand people may not seem like much, but for a small county town guarded by only 200 officials, it is a different matter.

Thousands of thieves rested in Guimapo, and several high-ranking members of the bandit army were also discussing how to attack the city in a makeshift thatched hut.

There are a total of four people in the thatched house, one is naturally Zheng Sanjiang, a water bandit of the Minjiang River, one is Meng Laogui, the leader of the Sunset Mountain bandits, and one is Zhao Jiuchou, the second leader of Sunset Mountain.

The last person was a middle-aged man wearing a gray and white robe, a turban, and a chicken feather fan.

The four of them sat around a flat and smooth stone, and a rough sketch was drawn on the stone with wood, which seemed to be a bit like a sketch of Longxi County, and even the city gates of the four avenues in the southeast, northwest, and northwest were marked.

Zheng Sanjiang and Meng Laogui are about the same age, they are both around forty, and even their bodies are about the same, the significant difference is that Zheng Sanjiang has a full beard, and he walks on the river on weekdays, tanning his cheeks.

Although Meng Laogui has no lips and jaws, his face is full of wrinkles and folds, as if he has been pulled by the ploughing rake, criss-crossed.

As for Zhao Jiuchou, he is not ugly, on the contrary, he is still very handsome, if he didn't have a golden wire ring knife on his shoulder, sitting there, he would definitely mistakenly think that this person is definitely a white-faced scholar and a handsome young man.

As for the middle-aged Xiucai who shook the chicken feather fan, his name was Guan Ju Dove, Guan Guan Ju Dove, the dove in the River Island, was the military advisor of Sunset Mountain. The name is elegant, even a little girly, but the person is unsightly, a pair of sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and triangular eyes, and the reincarnation of the grandson monkey.

But this person is indeed a showman, a real showman, if it weren't for the fact that Mr. Rich, who was a private school for a wealthy family, poisoned the lives of dozens of people in the owner's family, and fled to the sunset mountain and the grass for his life.

Maybe it's some kind of person or local official now.

The four of them sat around the stone, pointing at the sketch drawn with charcoal on the stone, only to hear Meng Laogui say to the military advisor Guan Jiujiu: "Military advisor, you are our military advisor of Sunset Mountain, and among the few of us, you have the most goods in your stomach, tell me, which city will we concentrate our forces on?" ”

Listening to the big boss Meng Laogui praising himself like this, Guan Dove and Yourong were honored, and the chicken feather fan shook more happily.

Then he proudly raised his chin, knocked on the mark of the east gate on the sketch, and said: "Naturally, it is the east gate, since ancient times, the east gate has been regarded as the main gate of a city, and only by attacking from the east gate can we deter the opponent." ”

Meng Laogui couldn't help nodding when he heard this, and even said that it was reasonable.

And Zheng Sanjiang is attached to Meng Laogui, not for anything else, just because Meng Laogui's Sunset Mountain bandits are strong and strong, and the number accounts for ninety percent of the thousand-person team, and now his own Minjiang water bandits are less than 100 people, it is when the tiger falls in Pingyang, how can there be a share of opinions.

"I disagree!"

It was Zhao Jiuchou, the second master of Sunset Mountain, who spoke.

I saw Zhao Jiuchou shaking his head again and again to deny Guan Jiujiu's idea, and said to Meng Laogui: "Big brother, we are mountain bandits, and we are not court officials, why bother with any form?" As long as you attack the county seat of Longxi in the fastest time and loot it, and then evacuate quickly, you will achieve your goal. You see, since the east gate is the main gate, the garrison force is naturally the strongest place, rather than spending time here, it is better to pick the south gate, the north gate or the west gate, which is one of the three weak defenses. ”

Belch?

Meng Laogui listened to Zhao Jiuchou's analysis, yes, it's such a reason.

What do the mountain bandits want to deter, just kill them and loot them.

Guan Jiu Jiu listened to Zhao Jiuchou, who was extremely unfriendly with him on weekdays, actually sang the opposite tune again, so he naturally didn't do it.

"Humph!"

I only heard Guan Jiu sneering disdainfully, shaking the chicken feather fan and saying disdainfully: "What do you want to do with ugly brother?" Only by attacking the east gate, the other three gates will surrender without a fight, so that the reputation of our Sunset Mountain will definitely be greatly enhanced and famous throughout Yizhou County. Besides, according to the army division sent people into the city to investigate, the entire Longxi county is only 200 officials, no matter how easy the east gate is to defend and difficult to attack, is it still the opponent of my thousand-strong army? ”

Speaking of this, he didn't look at Zhao Jiuchou, whose face had turned slightly red, and turned to the big boss Meng Laogui and said: "Big boss, we fought with the strong soldiers of Longxi before, and you don't know what the combat effectiveness of those people is. Leader Zheng should still have an impression of this, right? “

Meng Laogui listened to Guan Jiujiu mention this, and remembered the feat of defeating Gu Dezhao's strong class a few days ago, and it was really a matter of raising his eyebrows to be able to beat away the regular army of the Yamen.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but nod his head again in favor of Guan Jiujiu's idea.

And Zheng Sanjiang on the side and a few people in Sunset Mountain have been messing around for a while, of course they know the disagreement between the second leader Zhao Jiuchou and the military advisor Guan Jiujiu.

He is a clear-eyed person, and he can see at a glance the trust of Meng Laogui, who is deep in this Guan Jiu, and Zhao Jiuchou, this kid, except for his good knife skills, has no henchmen in Sunset Mountain at all.

He has clearly distinguished which is more important, so he naturally chooses to hug his thighs and choose to lean towards Guan Dove's end.

Then, he nodded in agreement: "Guan Junshi's intention is very much in line with Zheng's mind." ”

Seeing this, Meng Laogui immediately clapped his hand and said, "Okay, just listen to the military advisor."

Hearing that Meng Laogui agreed to Guan Jiujiu's idea so rashly, Zhao Jiu was so angry that he couldn't pull out the big knife on his shoulder, and cut Zheng Sanjiang and Guan Jiujiu to the ground with one sword.

Then, Meng Laogui listened to the insects and frogs outside the thatched house, and then looked up at the sky, the sky was already dark and starlight.

Then he asked, "What about the siege time?" Strategist, it's up to you to get the idea. ”

Guan Jiu Gu proudly fanned the chicken feather fan again, glanced at Zhao Jiuchou as a demonstration, and said: "We have been on a day's journey, and the brothers must be a little tired. Why don't you rest tonight, come early tomorrow morning, wave your army, and break through Longxi County? ”

"I don't agree with !!"

It was still Zhao Jiu who stopped drinking, but this time it was not like last time, but he stood up suddenly and glared at Guan Jiu Jiu.

Smack!

Guan Jiu was blocked by Zhao Jiuchou again, and he was also angry in his heart, questioning and blocking three times and twice, he really didn't give me face as a military division. Then he slapped the chicken feather fan on the stone, looked at each other angrily, and shouted sharply: "Zhao Jiuchou, are you sincere in finding fault, aren't you?"
