"General, what about the two thousand Tang troops outside the city? They are the closest to us, and if they bite us, they will cause us a lot of trouble. Lu Yu said excitedly, the next city in the next day, this is making him too excited. Although it used a trick, it wasn't really down, after all, it was taken down, wasn't it?

What made Lu Yu even more excited was that his subordinates and soldiers, all of whom had changed their outfits, were all standard weapons of the Tang Army, which were better than their own. He also confiscated more than 500,000 silver coins from the treasury.

I have to say that the coin policy that Xiaoguo Jun came up with is still very beneficial to them. Convenient for statistics, more convenient to carry.

"Two thousand people, let's solve it first! Guan Lin immediately sent an order to Langzhong, saying that the situation in the city asked him to rush back with his subordinates immediately and suspend the action against the mountain bandits. And asked him to be the first to rush back. ”

"How many horses do we have now?"

"Not much, only more than five hundred horses, this is also counting the seizure from Wei Yang's personal guards, there is a shortage of horses here!" Lu Yu said in a deep voice. Not only is there a shortage of horses here, but there is also a shortage of horses in the entire land of Yanzhou.

"Five hundred is five hundred, plus the ones we collected along the road, it is only seven or eight hundred, let's form a cavalry team of five hundred, and let the soldiers who can ride horses ride on it!" Zhao Xun was a little dissatisfied, but the situation was like this, and it could only be like this. As I said, even if there is a horse, the subordinates will not necessarily ride it.

"What about the captives in the camp? Keep it? It's better to ......" Li Guochang made a slashing move. For these Tang army prisoners, they did not have a good impression of the Shanyang Mansion army.

Zhao Xun was silent for a moment and said, "Forget it, thousands of lives, more than a thousand families!" However, all officers above the rank of chief will be killed! Although Zhao Xun didn't want to be untrustworthy and didn't want to kill the captives like this, it didn't mean that he was still sitting back and watching the army that had always been intact. The officer was beheaded, and the army wanted to recover, and it was not possible to succeed in a short time.

Qin Xiao on the side opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. He knew that Zhao Xun had already reached the limit of doing this. In fact, Zhao Xun did not kill a thousand Tang army prisoners, and he was already very grateful. This can be regarded as returning his identity as a Tang military captain.

"By the way, the three thousand young and strong men were also dismissed, and no one gave them some money to fend for themselves. If there are people in the city, let them pick up the equipment from the new annex and the treasury. Zhao Xun explained in a deep voice.

"Does the general want the people here to resist on their own?" Lu Yu said in a deep voice.

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "That's right, even if they go to the bandits, it's better than falling into the hands of the Tang Army, isn't it?" Besides, I dare to guarantee that in these counties, there must be remnants of the Liangzhou Prefecture Army resisting the Tang Army. Otherwise, the counties would not have been garrisoned by troops. As you have seen along the way, how can people who are displaced and have no source of livelihood not rise up and fight back? Just make some trouble for them, maybe there will be some gains in the future? ”

So, under Zhao Xun's arrangement, all the armor and equipment that the government soldiers couldn't take away were sent out for free, and even the armor on the 1,000 new annexed troops and 1,000 garrisons were also sent out, as for who took it and where to get it, Zhao Xun didn't care, and he didn't have time to care.

Near noon, Langzhong, who had returned to the city first, was also taken down and killed on the spot. So, in half a day, when the Tang army had no reaction and defense, Zhao Xun took the north of Siyang County. In the final analysis, the reason is still in the front-line barracks of the Tang Army.

The identity of an officer who went to the barracks was not trivial, because after more than two months of fighting, the front-line officers often escorted grain and grass materials to the rear. In addition, between the counties, there are often activities of the remnants of the Liangzhou Prefecture Army, and it is normal for front-line officers to appear. Therefore, neither Langzhong nor Ma Kui asked Qin Xiao for General You's warrant, but only checked the other party's identity token.

It's not that they don't want to check it, it's just that when the military affairs were busy at the beginning, the front-line military regulations were extremely impatient with this. Lao Tzu is fighting on the front line, and when he gets to the rear, he still wants you to check? How to have a good mood. After some scolding and cold eyes, they no longer inspected each other's warrants. After all, front-line officers did not dare to fake military orders and act recklessly. Although the warrant was not checked many times and passed directly, there was no accident, but this time the boat capsized.

The front-line military camp knew that the captain under his command was captured, but in order to save face, he did not report it, and as a result, an invalid identity token played a great role, causing the Tang army to suffer huge losses.

"Report to the general, a thousand Tang troops and a thousand new attached troops have approached the south gate five miles, how to deal with it? Is it to be put in, or is it ......," Guan Lin reported in a deep voice.

"Facing the frontal attack, I want to tell the people in the city that my Yanzhou government army is not muddy, and the Tang army is not invincible. New Annex...... Most of them used to be government soldiers......" Zhao Xun said with some regret.

"Government Army? A bunch of bastards with no solar terms! Guan Lin said angrily.

…………

"Damn captain, didn't you just come back from the front line, what's the spirit, damn it, call the old sons over, call them over. Suppress the bandits, you just let us go, just ran away, and let Lao Tzu come back......" Lin Ju scolded in a sullen voice. Although he was an officer, although he was riding a war horse, he was ordered to run back and forth for dozens of miles for no reason, and he was also angry in his heart.

"Look, my lord, above the city!" An exclamation interrupted the Qu Changlin drama at the forefront.

Lin Ju looked up in shock, only to see that above the city gate, how dare he hang high, the original Tang Army flag has become the flag of the government army. What's more, there's something hanging on it.

"Big ...... My lord...... At that time, Captain Lang's ...... Head! The former army probed the horse, and after running forward for hundreds of meters, he galloped and reported with a panicked face.

"What? What's going on? Lin Ju was shocked.

"My lord, not only that, but there is an army outside the city, and they ...... They seem to be the government army! Tanma's face calmed down a little, and he said in a trembling voice.

"Quick! Immediately let the three Qu Chiefs in the rear come, and said that there was a change in the city. In addition, blow the trumpet and let the army assemble into a defensive formation. Lin Ju panicked in his heart, but still ordered urgently.

…………

Looking at the limit of the field of vision, the slowly approaching military formation, a cold glow floated from Zhao Xun's eyes. Zhao Xun couldn't help but sigh, this Tang army is not ordinary, in a short period of time, it gathered a formation and leaned towards him. He believed that if the government army and the other party were in a different place, the first thing they thought of was to escape, rather than face them head-on.

Of course, the more than 3,300 soldiers under Zhao Xun's current command have naturally undergone amazing changes. The same array, pointing at each other from afar.

At this time, Zhao Xun had 3,000 people around him, 2,000 were the government soldiers under his command, and 1,000 were young men in the city who wanted to follow him to join the army. As for the other 2,000 army and 1,000 young men, they are guarding the city and monitoring the large camp in the city at the moment.

Zhao Xun rode his horse to the front of the military formation, and raised his right arm, in the military formation, because of the noise of the turmoil mixed with a thousand and a thousand government troops and some young and strong people who had been on the battlefield, subsided in an instant, and the surroundings were slaughtered, only the heavy breathing of the soldiers around him and the long and distant trumpet sound of the Tang army in the distance could be heard clearly.

"Brothers, the Tang army invaded my land, killed my soldiers, and robbed my family property, do you think we should fight with them?"

"Yes!"

The soldier's face turned red, and his thick voice responded violently, and his momentum was high.

"Today, we are behind enemy lines, and in every day, we have captured a city of the enemy and countless military supplies. It can be seen that the Tang Army is nothing more than that! Brethren, fear not! Zhao Xun waved his spear and shouted sharply. Zhao Xun's slogan was not only for the soldiers under his command, but also for the 1,000 new recruits, and also for the people who were watching on the city walls and in the city. In order to arouse the fighting spirit and resistance of the people in the counties, Zhao Xun also pulled 3,000 young and strong people who were recruited by the Tang army to the city to watch the battle.

"Don't be afraid!"

The soldiers waved their long knives vigorously, and the wolf howled in response, and the momentum became more and more high.

Zhao Xun slashed the spear in his hand, pointed straight ahead, and shouted: "No matter where you come from, you are all the people of the enemy who has been invaded by the Tang army. The officers and soldiers at the front, how is they different? They don't have one more hand longer than us! Brothers, hold on to your weapons and kill me! Just Tang Jun, what about it! ”

"Kill!"

Zhao Xun burst into a shout, turned his horse's head, raised his spear, and galloped towards the slowly coming Tang army. For the enemy army on the opposite side, Zhao Xun didn't pay attention to it at all. When the coach died, he didn't believe that the other party could adjust his psychology and rule effectively in such a short period of time.

"Kill!"

Guan Lin roared, his eyes were split, and his boiling blood stirred his heart, and he followed closely behind Ma Yue and moved forward bravely. Behind him was the newly formed 500 cavalry regiment.

"Kill ......"

In the roar of the mountains and seas, the 2,500 foot soldiers accelerated forward, like a surging torrent that burst the embankment, swept towards the Tang army's formation, and the cold long knife flashed with a compelling cold light under the sunlight.

On the city wall, except for the defenders under Zhao Xun, whether they are new recruits, they have not been on the battlefield before, just to find a way for recruits. Or the 3,000 young and strong men who were recruited by the Tang Army to transport grain, or those rich families and clans in the city who freely went to the city to watch the battle, and some people with ulterior motives. At this moment, they were all infected by the momentum of the three thousand soldiers under the city.

"Perhaps, it's time for me to think about other ways out...... "Many people think.

…………

In front of the slowly advancing Tang Army, Lin Ju and the other three were beating like drums, and their faces were like earth. It's not that they're afraid, it's that they're a little caught off guard by it.

Also, before setting off in the morning, the big flag in the city was still hung with the flag of his Tang Army. A thousand new vassals remained in the city. In addition, there were 1,000 garrisons from Linyi, 1,000 front-line soldiers from the south, and 3,000 new annexes. Why did you go out and come back in a circle, and the sky in the city changed?

The flag on the city wall is obvious, it is the Yanzhou Mansion Army, that is, the local flag of the imperial court. The head hanging on the flagpole can also be seen clearly, that is, the garrison captain Langzhong and the county commander Ma Kui, in addition to the captain from Linyi. But why is this so?

"There are quite a few people on the other side, more than 3,000, not to mention the guards on the city wall. Fuck, what the hell is going on? Lin Ju scolded angrily.

"Lao Lin, have you sent a notice to the surrounding cities?" A thirty upper limit, a stout horseback riding man said in a muffled voice.

"It's been sent! It's over this time, let's not talk about the loss of the city, let's talk about the city, and the food, grass and military supplies that arrived yesterday for the 10,000 army, if it's gone, you and I will lose our heads! Lin Ju screamed angrily.

"Okay, alias, we're just ordinary song lengths, so what? Shangguan doesn't have a military order, what can we do? Now, the most important thing is to defeat the enemy in front of us, otherwise, we can't leave if we want to. You see, of these 3,000 men, 2,000 were from non-commissioned soldiers, at least, from regular soldiers, and they were well-behaved and able to maintain a certain small formation. The remaining 1,000 people did not know how to cooperate with the rest, although some of them also looked like soldiers, but they did not cooperate with the other 2,000 people. What does this mean? A dark-skinned man with a slight beard on his chin said.

"Brother Huang, let's talk about it!" When Lin Ju heard this, he was stunned in his heart and said urgently.

"They were newly recruited by this group, and on the city walls, you see, except for a few who were armoured and armed, the rest were ordinary people. This shows that they are not as many as we imagined. It's just that I don't understand, why don't they defend the city, but fight us hard? Qu Chang Huang Xu frowned and explained. He always felt that the person on the other side was not as simple as he imagined, otherwise, he would not have taken the city easily, and killed the captain who came from Linyi, and took down the 2,000 regular troops and 1,000 new annexed troops in the city.

"Lao Huang, I know, look at the officer who rushed over on the other side, how young he is, I'm afraid he doesn't know how to capture the city, and he wants to show it again. I just don't know who is in charge of the city, so bold, and let such a yellow-haired child act recklessly. Lin Ju stared at the other side and said in a muffled voice.

"Alas...... No matter what, even if you want to run for your life, you have to deal with the other party. Unfortunately, we only have a thousand garrisons under our command. There are also a thousand, which are new annexes, and I don't know if they will change. The other Qu Chang frowned and said with a bitter face. He is the oldest Qu Chang here, and at this moment, he also feels that he is afraid that he will not escape this time. Can it be so easy to take this city quietly, will it be so simple? Besides, the soldiers on the opposite side knew at a glance that they were elite soldiers who had been in war for a long time, and they were even more fierce than the garrisons under their command.

At the beginning, after learning about the situation ahead, the four of them discussed not as Zhao Xun thought, but had to fight hard with themselves. The first thought was naturally to save their lives, not that they didn't want to leave, but that they didn't dare to leave like this. There are 3,000 soldiers outside the city, including 500 cavalry, what about them? Except for the officer and a few guards around him, they are all foot soldiers, how to escape? How can you escape? Besides, if you flee without a fight, the matter will be exposed, and you will be guilty of a capital crime. Therefore, the four of them discussed, even if they fled, they had to fight.

"Damn, fight! It's best to defeat this kid, and even if they can't, they don't dare to pursue. I, the Tang Army, would I be afraid of this little troubled bandit? The remnants of the army of Liangzhou Prefecture, hum, when the army arrives, you will definitely die without a whole body. Lin Ju said coldly.

Is this young general and his men really so easy to deal with? You only know if you have fought.

Huang Xuce looked back, looked at the 1,000 new annexed troops among them, and said loudly: "I know that among you, some of you have their own little calculations, I tell you, you still don't think about it." Think about who you are, new annexes! Tell yourselves, which of your hands is not stained with the blood of your robes? Which of you hasn't killed the government army? Which of you hasn't captured or beheaded the remnants of the government army on the run? Do you think that if the remnants of this army recover Siyang City, you will be able to turn back? Don't! You are traitors to them, and there is only one way to die. Today, if you want to live, kill me! The counties of Liangzhou Prefecture are all under the world of our Tang Army, and there are tens of thousands of troops stationed in the south. ”

"If we win today, you are all meritorious men, and even if we fail and we escape, you are also meritorious men. You will gain the trust of our army and become a real garrison of the Tang Army, and by that time, you will be the masters of the Liangzhou Mansion. Cheer me up and let them see that we're not muddy! Huang Xu's voice boosted morale.

"The overseer team is behind, today, those who dare to retreat without permission will be killed!" Huang Xu ordered coldly.

Maybe it was Huang Xu's words that played a role, and the faces of the thousand new attached troops darkened slightly, and then they all shouted angrily along with the rest of the soldiers!

It's closer...... The unknown government army that had brought up smoke and dust had already rushed over like a tide, and it was only a hundred steps away from its own military formation.

"Fuck, where is this army, damn it!" Lin Ju scolded secretly, then took a deep breath of cold air, and shouted: "The archers are ready to ......"

More than 300 Tang Army archers immediately unloaded their longbows from their backs, and quickly pulled out their feather arrows from the quiver and put them on the strings......

I have to say that the Tang army's su zhì is still good, at least stronger than the government army. Seeing this, Zhao Xun secretly admired.

It is precisely because they are there to kill bandits that they are fully equipped with weapons, and they are all wearing Tang Army armor like Zhao Xun's department who galloped over. The only difference is that Zhao Xun's corporal has a white cloth wrapped around his arms, and the same is true around his neck, so as to distinguish the difference between the two.

"New Annex, Shield! Hurry up and fight! Fucking fast! Huang Xu frowned and shouted.

Looking at the Tang Army who was getting closer and closer, Zhao Xun's eyes flashed with a trace of cold flames, and the mournful shouting of killing echoed in his ears.

"Today, let Tang Jun remember! The army of my Shanyang Mansion is not easy to fight, and the land of my Shanyang Mansion is not easy to occupy. Zhao Xun's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent.

The elite is killed, not trained, or spoken. Zhao Xun was ready to use this method and began to train the soldiers little by little. Of course, the most important thing is to give the Tang army at the front a headache and have no time to look south.
