"The thieves have divided their troops."

Shi Kefa has always been concerned about the city, although he handed over the matter to Yu Guozhen, but after all, he was a little uneasy, when he found that one of the thieves began to separate, there were about three or four thousand people, and gradually moved towards the north city, he immediately sent someone to inform Yu Guozhen.

"I know, you report to Senator Shi, if he is idle, he might as well write a few poems and comment on the figures of the dynasty." Yu Guozhen raised his hand, the maid next to him poured hot water into his cup, and he took a sip slowly: "It's windy in the city, so it's not appropriate to stay longer." ”

When he said this, Yu Guozhen was indeed no longer in the city, and he was in a leeward place under the city, watching the masons rushing to seal the city gate.

The so-called sealing of the city gate is not to block the city gate hole, but to build a small urn city along both sides of the city gate hole. The urn was so narrow that it was not easy for a horse to turn around, and it was so large that it was chest-high, and there were rows of holes with large bowls, so that if a thief broke into the city, he could use these holes to stab him with a spear and a tasseled spear.

Not only the east gate where Yu Guozhen is now, but the other four gates are also doing the same project.

Shi Kefa's envoy brought back Yu Guozhen's words, Shi Ke [***] stopped, and Zhang Pu next to him only smiled bitterly.

"Yu Jimin, this person, has the style of an ancient famous general, it's a pity, he is not from a scientific background, and he doesn't know what kind of character he can use." Zhang Pu said with a smile on the side.

"What is he sitting on? Just sitting there drinking tea? ”

"In addition to drinking tea, I watched the craftsmen in front of me repair the wall."

Shi Kefa wandered around the city wall twice, and before he could think clearly, he heard the shouts of thunder in the northern city.

It turned out that Ya Baishui had already taken his subordinates to the north gate, and after a little rest, he began to fill in the trenches in four places. This time it was not a tentative attack, as soon as he came out, he mobilized more than 2,000 people, so the momentum was extremely strong.

"Go to the North City, go to the North City!" Shi Kefa's heart was confused, and he immediately ordered.

He took his guards to Beicheng, and as soon as he went, Luo Zhimei of Nazhizhou naturally followed, and in the blink of an eye, a large group of people who were originally at the head of Dongcheng flocked to Xicheng.

Zhang Kewang under the city saw this scene, licked the corners of his lips, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.

"Major General, it seems that these people at the head of the city don't have much experience, could it be that Yu Guozhen is not good at defending the city?" There is humanity behind him.

You must know that when defending the city, what should be done is to stabilize the manpower to defend the four directions, and leave a reserve to use in times of crisis. If necessary, you can transfer some of the defenders who have spare strength elsewhere, but only if you can't attack the northern city like now, then the entire eastern city will be empty.

"I'm afraid it's not that Yu Guozhen is not good at guarding the city, but that Shi Kefa, who guards the four mansions, is stupid." Zhang Kewang sneered: "If you can let the two kings suffer and die, how can it be an ordinary goods, I'm afraid it's Cao Wenzhao and the like." ”

As soon as he heard the name "Cao Wenzhao", the thief behind him shrunk his neck, and his face showed a look of horror.

"What are you afraid of, that guy is dead." Zhang Kewang snorted dissatisfiedly.

This Cao Wenzhao is a strong general of the Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengchou transferred to Shaanxi and Henan, and most of the credit was earned by him. But in the hands of Hong Chengchou, not only did he not get credit, but he even lost his surname in June last year because of Hong Chengchou's command error. Zhang Kewang has heard of Cao Wenzhao's prestige in Zhang Xianzhong's army, but in his heart, he faintly feels that it is because his family has not been alone.

At this time, Zhang Kewang was young and vigorous, and he had the feeling that he was the only hero in the world, and he only obeyed his father-in-law Zhang Xianzhong.

"How can the villain be afraid of Cao Wenzhao's dead ghost!" The thief general laughed: "However, young general, now that there are obviously fewer guards on the east side, should we take the opportunity to pull out the head of the white water?" ”

"Didn't I just say it, do you think it's so easy that Yu Guozhen will show such a flaw?" Seeing that his subordinates were still unconvinced, Zhang Kewang pouted again: "If you don't believe it, you can try it." ”

The thief will seriously lead the headquarters of a thousand men and horses to prepare to attack the city, Zhang Kewang's eyes flashed, looking at the city, the Yu Guozhen, who made his father feel a little difficult to deal with, where would he focus his defense?

"What's going on over there in the north of the city?" Yu Guozhen took a nap, and when he woke up, he felt unusually sweet, and when he heard the shouting in the north of the city, he asked Qi Niu in front of him.

"Shi Kefa took people there, and it is said that the fighting was very fierce, the trench in the north city has been filled, and the thieves have gone to the city three times, and they have been driven down three times."

"This Shi Kefa, he said that he should go back and write poetry critics, what kind of excitement is there, if it is commanded by Wu Ya, how can such a thing happen!" Yu Guozhen was very dissatisfied after hearing this: "Sun Kexian also joined in the fun with him, right?" ”

"Yes."

Yu Guozhen arranged the candidates to defend the city, the north city is Ye Wuya, the south city is the tall pillar, and he himself takes care of the east and west cities. He frowned, after all, Ye Wuya was a little afraid of a court member like Shi Kefa, so he would take away the command for Shi Kefa. In addition, Sun Lin, a guy who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, is afraid that he will also give advice to Shi Kefa on the side.

They may not have intended to seize power, but their presence did undermine Yu Guozhen's original plan to minimize his own casualties.

"What about our own casualties?"

"Wu Ya is quite accurate at this point, mainly because of Shi Kefa's own manpower, he commands the officers and soldiers in the city and the prisoners anyway, but he can't command our people. Wu Ya deliberately arranged our people into a shed, and only attacked at the most critical time, so he avoided all casualties. ”

It was Tian Boguang who spoke for Ye Wuya, and Qi Niu couldn't say such neat words. Yu Guozhen glanced at Tian Boguang, Ye Wuya's popularity among the young guards was not very good, and it was also a rare thing for Tian Boguang to speak for him.

"I want to know ......"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of alarm bells in Nancheng, followed by a continuous shout, and it was clear that the thieves had begun to attack Nancheng again.

"Striking the West?" Tian Boguang asked curiously.

He wasn't worried that the thieves would be able to break the city, after all, above the southern city, the tall pillar was guarding it himself.

"It's still just a temptation." Yu Guozhen sneered: "Among the thieves, the most cunning and deceitful are among the rogues, and only the thieves can be compared." The person who came to attack the city this time, whether it was him himself or not, would not attack with all his strength so easily, after all, our killing of Zhang Jinjia was enough to make them realize our awesomeness. ”

"Then, according to the opinion of the petty officials, how will the main force of thieves attack the city?"

"Today is just a temptation, and tomorrow I will see the real chapter." Yu Guozhen smiled: "Let's take care of your spirits." ”

As Yu Guozhen said, the siege of the city in the afternoon was just a temptation, and the siege never began at three o'clock, and the thieves collected troops to make food at two o'clock, when Shi Kefa returned to the city with joy, Yu Guozhen did not even go up the city wall again.

"Yu Jimin, today's battle is really tragic." Repelled Ya Baishui, Shi Kefa realized that he also understood some techniques for defending the city, and he specially came to Yu Guozhen's side: "Your family, you have contributed a lot, and this official will ask for credit for your book." ”

Yu Guozhen smiled and didn't say anything, Yan Jue next to Shi Kefa couldn't stand it, he had a lot of resentment towards Yu Guozhen in his heart, especially when he knew that almost all of his family members were killed by thieves, he was even more angry with Yu Guozhen, and immediately shouted: "Yu Guozhen, don't think that this Wuwei city can't leave you, now we are fighting bloody battles in the city, even Senator Shi is risking the arrow, but you are hiding under the city and sleeping lazy......"

"I'm on duty in the city tonight, Keham, you go to sleep first, and come back to me in the middle of the night." Yu Guozhen didn't bother to pay attention to him: "You remember, I asked you to replace me, not for you to command my people for me, nor for you to take the soldiers to death." ”

Sun Xian's face suddenly turned red, his eyes widened, and he didn't know why Yu Guozhen, who had always respected him very much, was so ruthless at this time.

"If Jimin has anything to say, just say it, Senator Shi is not a person who can't listen to Yayan." It's still Zhang Pu, who has suffered a lot from Yu Guozhen, and finally understands his temper, and said with a wry smile.

"I don't know if Senator Shi personally risked the arrow stone and killed a few rogues, whether it played the most critical role." When Yu Guozhen saw Zhang Pu ask directly, he also replied directly: "Is it that both the enemy and us have exhausted their strength, and Senator Shi can make a final decision when he comes forward?" ”

Shi Kefa blushed suddenly.

"Turn around and think about it again, Yashi has no eyes, if Senator Shi killed the thief, then Wuwei should not be guarded?" Yu Guozhen smiled again and asked: "Or does Senator Shi think that it is very fun for front-line soldiers to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and you also want to have a fun?" ”

"You!" No matter how good Shi Kefa's cultivation is, he can't help it at this time: "Yu Jimin, are you such a greedy villain as an official?" ”

"Of course I know that you are not Senator Shi, but now you are guarding in the northern city, the tall pillar is guarding in the southern city, how many thieves are injured in the northern city, can there be statistics?"

"Five hundred enemies were killed, and more than a thousand were wounded."

"How many people will Senator Shi mobilize to guard in Beicheng?"

"Two or two thousand."

"Have you ever used a Furlong cannon?"

The Fran cannons that can be used in Wuwei City, except for the four that Yu Guozhen captured and did not take out, there are still six. Hearing Yu Guozhen ask about this, Shi Kefa was a little depressed: "Liumen." ”

"What are your own casualties?"

"More than 300 casualties ......"

"Yes, my head of the guard, Gao Dazhu, is guarding in Nancheng, and he only has more than 500 people, and he has killed 300 enemies, and he has killed more than 1,000 enemies.

Speaking of this, Yu Guozhen smiled meaningfully, looked at Shi Kefa, and didn't say anything more. Shi Kefa is a smart person and immediately understood what Yu Guozhen meant.

is also defending the city, the wall on his Shi Kefa, the number of defenders used is four times that of Nancheng, and the weapons used are artillery that has always been known for its sharpness, but the results of the battle are only slightly stronger than Nancheng, and his own casualties and losses are so heavy!

"Thieves in the north city, thieves in the south city, thieves in the south ......" Yan Jue was still waiting to defend Shi Kefa, but he was stared at by Yu Guozhen with a smile and a smile, and finally closed his mouth.

After all, he is a reader, and he still needs some face after all.

"Or to say, the thieves in the south are not as brave as the thieves in the north, in fact, if the lord is incompetent, the thieves are naturally brave, I have heard a saying, I think it makes sense, a lion leading a hundred sheep, can defeat a hundred lions led by a sheep."

This is pointing his nose and scolding "one general is incompetent and tired to death of the three armies", Shi Kefa originally wanted to show off his achievements in front of Yu Guozhen, but he was also extremely ashamed at the moment, Yu Guozhen had not yet gone to the city, and only sent a housekeeper, who was already stronger than him.
