Outside the city, I don't know how many horse bandits were ambushed, and I don't know when they will attack the city, and the people of Gucheng are as fearless as everyday, but Zhao Zheng and the remaining more than 600 bandit troops under his command have to be cautious. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Cheng Sun, the county magistrate, was pulled out of the cellar by Yutou and others, and Zhao Zheng, who had no soldiers and no soldiers, did not hold him accountable for his dereliction of duty, but only asked him to organize people to carry out military control over Gucheng, the most important of which was the control of grain.

Zheng Gao deceived Ji Chong out of the city and did not transport grain, but quietly mixed in to attack Zhao Zheng and burned it all, at this time the remaining military food was only Tang Kun secretly let the Baomin Army transport away, so that Ji Chong couldn't help but regret that he blocked Zhao Zheng from transporting grain at that time.

War is not only a fight between soldiers and soldiers, but also material and logistics. The army of bandits is far away from Yixian, and it is in the Gucheng where the people are numb and do not know how to resist, whether they can defend the Gucheng Zhao Zheng is unknown, and only hopes that Yihou or Prince Dan can decisively send troops to rescue after he loses contact. But this feeling of putting the hope of one's life on others is really bad, so bad that Zhao Zheng wants to lead his troops out of the city to fight.

The four doors were closed, and Zhao Zheng and a cadre of soldiers were waiting for the bloody battle to come. But after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of the siege, not even the horse bandits.

Tian Shimu hurriedly inspected the four gates, returned to the camp and reported to Zhao Zhengyu: "It's still the same, the horse bandits are nowhere to be found, and the brothers who have ordered them to patrol day and night don't even see the fire and smoke of cooking. ”

Soldiers, treacherous ways, false and real do not know the truth or falsehood. Zhao Zheng felt that it was definitely not a general person to be a horse bandit and make the government helpless, but he didn't know that there were no enemies outside the city at all.

Zhao Zheng sat anxiously in the camp, although there was no good way to break the enemy, but he knew that he could not mess up, the soldiers under the commander would definitely lose morale, and the only remaining 600 bandit troops would become lambs to be slaughtered.

"We can't wait, scouts must be sent to check it out."

Tao Yuan stood up from his seat and arched his hand: "The old man asks for his life, and he will lead a team of brothers to serve as scouts to make a way for the brothers to live." ”

There is no danger outside the city, and going out to investigate the military situation at this time is tantamount to sending them to death, and everyone is infected by Tao Yuan's ambition. The most excited is Ji Chong, although he has surrendered himself to a soldier, but Zhao Zheng can't treat him as an ordinary soldier, how can years of aristocratic military education be wasted, so he is also qualified to discuss matters in the big tent.

Ji Chong said: "Everything starts from me, and I should come forward at this time of danger." Don't rob me of anyone, Ji Chong is willing to act as a scout and lead his subordinates to explore the way for the general and his comrades. ”

That being said, but Ji Chong is Yihou's nephew after all, and if the dignified nobles let him go to death, Zhao Zheng will not be able to get mixed up, not to mention that half of the grassroots officers of the city guard army are his generals.

"Brother Ji is familiar with military books, and it is more useful to stay in the city to staff on military intelligence than to be a scout, and I hope you don't mention this matter again."

Zhao Zheng walked down to make a pretended retention, he himself was a little disgusted, but it worked very well for Ji Chong's subordinates, and they knelt down and expressed their willingness to go out of the city to find out the news.

The city guard army and the people's army are now life and death, Zhao Zheng naturally can't be biased, and finally decided to send five people to each of the two armies, as for the team leader, everyone has no objection, and unanimously elected the four rabbits who are the leader of the people's army.

When breaking through to the outside of the city, the four rabbits and the two dogs of the dead friend were the same captains, and took the lead in dancing the Mo knife to open the way for the army, but there were too many horse bandits on the opposite side and they were very brave, and the two dogs finally died of exhaustion on the battlefield.

"Ergouzi, you are not fucking righteous, say that you will go back to find a mother-in-law to see who will make her belly bigger first, and you will fucking go first.

Don't go too fast, labor and management follow you in a few steps, first find a comfortable place to lie down and watch, labor and management will kill three more horse bandits for you, which can be regarded as a tribute to you. ”

But after waiting for a long time, the horse bandits did not attack the city, and they couldn't wait for revenge for a while, so it happened that Zhao Zheng recruited a death squad and rewarded those scouts who dared to risk death to go out of the city to investigate, so the four rabbits gave up the Modao team and registered.

At first, Ji Daliu, the hundred elders of the Modao team, was reluctant to let go, and the veterans who saw the blood were all wealth, but they couldn't resist the revenge of the four rabbits, so they agreed silently. Because Mo Dao was not allowed to be taken out of the barracks, Ji Daliu gave him his own saber, an improved version of the Hundred Refining Tang Knife, and only gave officers above 100 commanders in the People's Army.

"Good brother, come back safely." Zhao Zheng personally poured wine for the four rabbits before leaving, and this Yanbei man dried the bowl of wine with tears. I thought that I could be called a brother by the general, and this life was worth it.

Taking a light oil tank as a messenger, the four rabbits and the other nine people resolutely climbed down from the city, and soon melted into the dark night.

Zhao Zheng stood at the head of the city, feeling the cold wind of late spring, and regretted his insistence on suppressing bandits, thinking that he was a layman who didn't understand military affairs and brought so many people to death with a few military books.

"Smack"

Zhao Zheng hit himself once, his face hurt hotly, but he couldn't shed tears.

"Report, Mr. Jing has something to ask me to report to you." A soldier walked up to Zhao Zheng and whispered, "Young Master Yingbu is gone, and Mr. Jing guesses that he has gone out with the scouts." ”

"What!"

Zhao Zheng emerged as that small unyielding figure, coming out of hell and stepping onto the purgatory-like battlefield, that little figure never retreated.

"You are really brave and fearless", Zhao Zheng smiled. Why did I forget this sentence, and what can't be solved in the face of difficulties.

"Got it, you go and tell Mr. Jing that it's okay, that kid can protect himself."

Zhao Zheng glanced at the lightless sky, smiled and went down the city wall, since it has become this situation, then find a way to change it, regret that there is no other use except to increase the troubles.

A team outside the city walked cautiously in the night, and the four rabbits were exploring the way in front of them with a stick, holding a small hand in their hands, and sighed when they thought of this: "Why did you follow us out, you little cub, doesn't it mean that you are stronger than us." ”

The four rabbits led the group down the city wall and walked south, where the retreat of the army was most likely to have ambushes. Unexpectedly, less than a quarter of an hour after walking, a small man followed with a small fire fold, and it turned out to be Yingbu.

Yingbu twisted the hand that was grabbed by him and said, "Uncle Ergou gave me a piece of meat, I know you want to avenge him, and I also want to, I want to help him kill a horse bandit." ”

The four rabbits didn't dare to laugh at Yingbu's dream, this villain looked harmless but was actually ruthless, although he stayed in the team under the restriction of Liang Ji when he broke through, but the crossbow arrow in his hand was a human life, and when the whole army charged at the city gate, he also took advantage of the chaos to kill several, and the small body of less than five feet was able to control it with a Tang knife that was more than three feet.

"Hehe, you kid is righteous enough and has learned to repay your kindness, and I won't pick you up anymore. But the ugly words are ahead, everything on the road is under my command, and you are not allowed to attack at will. ”

Touching Yingbu's head and feeling him nod, the four rabbits smiled and continued to walk forward, the children are here, how can they be behind.

After walking for more than an hour, it was about fifty miles away from Gucheng, and there was no trace of the horse bandits, the four rabbits were a little confused, and the horse bandits were difficult to ambush themselves outside the city of Dongjun, where there was a large army guarding.

"Go west, and you will definitely find traces of horse bandits."

After a short rest, the four rabbits led everyone back on the road, brushing the edge of the fortified city and walking westward until the sun rose.

In the Gucheng camp, Zhao Zheng got up early and waited for the news from the four rabbits, but he didn't see it for a long time, and the soldiers on the city wall who watched the wind did not see any fire. It had been more than four hours since they went out of the city to investigate, and no matter how slow the four rabbits were, they should have walked around the city ten miles away.

Zhao Zheng's heart gradually cooled by half, the situation was obvious that eighty percent of them had been sacrificed, Tao Yuan still didn't believe it, and proposed to wait until noon to make a decision.

Time has never been so slow, but everyone has no intention of eating, and the death squad scouts will not be able to do so at this time, proving that there are horse bandits outside the city who are ambushed to kill themselves.

Jing Ke held a short sword, which was given to Yingbu by Zhao Zheng at the beginning, and Yingbu used it as collateral in exchange for a Tang knife when he went to war. Looking at the short sword in his hand, Jing Ke seemed to see the little man insisting on practicing the Spring Rain Sword Technique under the scorching sun.

"Good apprentice, for the master to avenge you, he killed the big flat top and slaughtered the horse bandits in the village."

Zhao Zheng looked at the gloomy atmosphere in the tent, and patted the case: "The eldest husband will eventually die, and the death of the bandits today is considered to be a well-deserved death, so why be afraid." ”

"The general ordered that the whole army attack only carries seven days' rations, and kills all the way from the north gate to the west, and we will die on the way to Dapingding."

The atmosphere in the tent was ignited in an instant, and all the generals shouted violently: "Kill to the cottage, die as you deserve." ”
