Chapter 263 Talking and laughing on the city wall

Li Xian led the cavalry of the Ruijin battalion from Yuncheng to Suchang in less than two days, and joined the flood camp of Chaoqiuge. Then he stayed in Suchang for less than an hour, did not bring the men and horses of the flood camp, and only replenished dry food and water, and then immediately set out. In another half day, he rushed from Suchang to Sucheng. At this time, according to the news sent back by the Flying Tiger secret spy, Wang Bo's 150,000 army is now less than half a day away from Sucheng, and if Li Xian leads the army to come half a day late, it may be blocked outside Sucheng by Wang Bo's men and horses.

The Iron Wolf suggested that the cavalry of the Ruijin Battalion be stationed outside the city, and that the troops of the thick earth camp in the city should be horned against each other. In this way, there would not be a danger that all the men and horses would be trapped in the city by Wang Bo, but Li Xian did not accept it, and directly took the cavalry of the Ruijin battalion into the city.

Sucheng is just a small county town with a population of more than 10,000, and the city wall is less than two zhang, Xiong Kuohai led the thick soil camp to take the city after sending people to repair the city wall, and added a layer of bags full of soil to the city wall, but even so, the height of such a city wall is still too low for defense.

Moreover, the city wall of Sucheng has been in disrepair for a long time, and a section of the city wall near the east gate has even cracked a big hole, and while Wang Bo's men and horses have not yet arrived, there are still people on the city wall who are hurriedly repairing this opening, constantly pouring mud into the mouth, and then stuffing sandbags into it. Outside the city wall, there are still people who are busy setting up horses and antlers, and Xiong Kuohai ordered the thick earth camp to dig countless pits outside the east gate and north gate of Sucheng, but the role of these horse traps this time is not to block the cavalry of Wang Bo's army at all, the reason is very simple, although Wang Bo has 150,000 horses, he can't even get together 3,000 cavalry. These traps were dug on the official road facing the city gate to prevent Wang Bo from ordering the ram to hit the city gate. The gate of Sucheng has not been repaired for some years, and there are many cracks on the gate, and they can't resist the three or five hits of the hammer.

The lack of cavalry in Wang Bo's army is fundamentally because of the defeat at the foot of Daishan Mountain in Lu County, and the baggage of his 3,000 carts was captured by Zhang Xutuo of Qi County, and he finally plundered all the way back to Jibei County, but before he reached Feicheng, he was chased up by Zhang Xutuo and led by his army from behind, and all the looted things were robbed by Zhang Xutuo again.

In these two defeats, Wang Bo's army almost lost all the horses that carried the baggage.

Therefore, Li Xian arrived in Sucheng half a year earlier than Wang Bo. When Li Xian got the news in Yuncheng, Wang Bo's army was less than three hundred miles away from Sucheng. Li Xian led the cavalry of the Ruijin battalion to Suchang first and then to Sucheng, but it was still faster than Wang Bo, which shows that Wang Bo's marching speed is really not flattering.

When Li Xian arrived at the gate of Sucheng, Xiong Kuohai was already waiting there with the generals of the Houtu camp. Li Xian stopped the big black horse and pushed his visor up, glancing at the generals who were waiting for him outside the city gate. Xiong Kuohai led everyone to step forward and neatly performed a standard military salute.

"See the general!"

Li Xian nodded, looked at the people who were busy working on the city wall, frowned slightly, and said, "The city wall is broken?" ”

Xiong Kuohai said: "Daqian said that there was a heavy rain in the city, the city wall was in disrepair and could not withstand the storm, and a big hole was cracked, and the subordinates had sent people to repair it for two days, just because of urgency, but it was just blocked with sandbags first." ”

Li Xian nodded and said, "Advanced City." ”

Then he turned around and instructed the iron wolf: "Send rangers, search within twenty miles, send scouts, and check in the direction of Jibei County." ”

The Iron Wolf immediately turned around and waited in peace.

Li Xian turned sideways and smiled at Xu Shiji: "It's that Brother Lao Demao Gong suffers together, and after defeating Wang Bo's people, Li will personally go to Wagangzhai to plead guilty." ”

Xu Shiji waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, if it were you, I was afraid that I would throw you into an iron prison." ”

Li Xian smiled and asked, "Is there a beautiful woman with wine in the iron prison?" ”

Xu Shiji was dumbfounded, and then smiled: "If there is a beautiful wine woman, I will go to the iron prison by myself and get your turn?" ”

Li Xian gestured and said, "Stingy!" ”

Xu Shiji sighed: "General Li is quite atmospheric, I don't know if there is any of our brother's military salaries this time, but he also followed the men and horses of Yanyunzhai to go on the expedition." ”

Li Xian said arrogantly: "After the war, each person will be given a big beauty, and when Wang Bo is defeated, you will take the brothers of Wagangzhai to choose from Wang Bo's army." ”

Xu Shiji smiled and followed Li Xian into the city.

While walking, Xu Shiji carefully observed the majestic sea, and the more he looked, the more amazed he became.

"What a majestic man, dare to ask the name of this strong man."

Xiong Kuohai hugged his fists and said: "I am the commander of the thick earth battalion under the command of the general!" ”

Cheng Zhijie looked at the majestic figure of the majestic sea and praised sincerely: "Even the second brother is not as strong as this strong man!" ”

Li Xian smiled and introduced: "Kuohai, this is Xu Shiji, the military advisor under the eldest brother Zhai Rang of Wagangzhai in Dongjun, and the other is Cheng Zhijie, the leader of the Wagangzhai Horse Army, all of whom are heroes in the world. was originally a guest in Yuncheng, but it happened to catch up with Wang Bo and his army to attack my city, Xu Junshi and General Cheng helped each other, you have seen two heroes. ”

Xiong Kuohai had already learned about Xu Shiji from the secret spy who came first, and then smiled and hugged his fists again at Xu Shiji and Cheng Zhijie: "I've seen two heroes. ”

Cheng Zhijie looked at the Xiong Kuohai and couldn't help asking, "General Xiong is good at foot combat?" ”

Xiong Kuohai nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Cheng Zhijie looked at the heavy Mo knife in Xiong Kuohai's hand, and subconsciously took a breath of cool air. He has been in battle for a long time, and he can naturally see the power of the Mo knife in the hand of Xiong Kuohai, such a big man, such a sharp and huge Mo knife, if it is really a knife to chop down, it can really have the power of a horse and a horse. Seeing the majestic sea and the soldiers and horses of the Houtu battalion, Xu Shiji and Cheng Zhijie paid more attention to Li Xian's Yanyunzhai.

This is still to hide the strength of the heavy armor of the thick earth camp and did not come out, otherwise if Xu Shiji saw the two thousand heavy armor, he would not be speechless with fear and envy. He worked hard to train soldiers in Wagangzhai for several years, and only then did he train 10,000 gray-clothed soldiers, and these 10,000 horses are the most elite soldiers in Wagangzhai. But even so, the overall strength of Wagangzhai is not as good as Yanyunzhai, after all, the foundation of Yanyunzhai is too good, and the starting point is much higher than the general green forest team.

……

……

After Li Xian entered the city, he went directly to the city wall, and frowned slightly after inspecting the city defense. The walls of Sucheng are too low, and the lowest point does not need to use a ladder, but five or six people can climb it on a ladder.

"Fetch all the vegetable oil in the storehouse."

Li Xian thought for a while and asked, "Is there lime in the city?" ”

Xiong Kuohai nodded and said: "Yes, the city wall and the county government in the city are being repaired, and there is a lot of lime powder." ”

Li Xian ordered: "All of them are transported to the city wall." ”

Xu Shiji couldn't help but interject: "If the general plans to defend it, you can use sandbags to separate the lowest section of the city wall from the barrier." In this way, even if Wang Bo's men and horses attack the city wall, they will not be able to expand the area they occupy, and then shoot them with archers, and there will be no problem with the three or five guards of this low city wall. ”

Li Xian nodded and said, "That's very good." ”

Xiong Kuohai hurriedly ordered his soldiers and people to carry vegetable oil, lime powder and sandbags to the city wall according to Li Xian and Xu Shiji's instructions.

"Report, Wang Bojun is less than twenty miles away from Sucheng."

"Report, Wang Bojun is less than ten miles away from Sucheng!"

After a short time, you can see a cloud of dust and smoke flying in the distance outside the east gate from the city wall, covering the sky.

In the dust and smoke, countless flags fluttered, and the black-pressed Wang Bojun surged like a flood peak. From the city wall, Wang Bo's army is like countless ants, and there is no edge at a glance. Dust and smoke were flying, and the eastern half of the sky was dark. The procession was endless, and the whole land outside the east gate was soon paved black. As the saying goes, there are more than 10,000 people without boundaries, and more than 100,000 people are said to be in the sky.

Wang Bo poured out of the nest this time, what kind of momentum does the 150,000 army look like?

Although Wang Bo's men and horses seemed to be able to approach quickly when they saw Wang Bo's men and horses rushing over on the city wall, it took a full hour for Wang Bo's men and horses to slowly stop outside the city. And the dust and smoke that covered the sky first hit the city wall like a hurricane, and suddenly, a layer of dust fell on the defenders of Yanyunzhai on the city wall.

When the dust and smoke cleared and I looked again, I saw that the ground outside the city had already changed color.

The black oppressive men and horses covered all the land as far as the eye could see.

Li Xian waved his hand to fan away the floating dust and smoke, pointed to Wang Bo's men and horses below and asked with a smile: "Brother Mao Gong, have you ever seen such a huge number of people and horses?" ”

Xu Shiji slowly shook his head and said, "No." The army of 150,000 looks really like a black tide, what about you, general? ”

Li Xian nodded slightly and said, "In the eighth year of the Great Cause, I am in Liaodong. ”

Xu Shiji suddenly laughed at himself and said, "I forgot the name Yanyun." ”

Li Xian smiled, pointed at Wang Bo's people and asked, "What does Brother Mao Gong think about Wang Bo's 150,000 army?" ”

Xu Shiji looked down and smiled: "No matter how many chickens and ducks there are, they are also food on the plate, and no matter how many cattle and sheep there are, they are just meat on the board." In my opinion, these 150,000 troops are just dead men who have planted grass labels and sold their heads. ”

Li Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Mao Gong, I don't fall for you." Even if it's 150,000 straw men that can't move, it won't take me a while to finish cutting. Even if it is 150,000 wild dogs, they can pounce on it and knock down the low city wall of Sucheng. Even if you say there are 150,000 rabbits out there, I won't go out and fight with rabbits right now. ”

Xu Shiji laughed.

……

……

Wang Bo led the army to stop outside the city, and carefully looked at the walls of the city with his hands on the pergola. After looking at it for a while, Wang Bo laughed, pointed in the direction of Sucheng and laughed: "Such a low city wall, you also want to stop my 150,000 army?" ”

He turned around and ordered: "Sun Gan, you go to the city and ask which of Li Xian's subordinates in Yanyunzhai is guarding the city, and tell him that there is still a way to survive if you go out of the city and surrender." If I break open the city gates, there will be no chickens and dogs left in the city. Both humans and animals will be slaughtered! ”

His general, Sun Gan, led the order and led dozens of horsemen and horses out of the battle and went straight to the city.

Standing a hundred meters away from the city gate, Sun Gan raised his chin and shouted, "Which leader of Yanyun Village is the city wall?" Zhishilang said, open the door and surrender quickly, otherwise where my army passes, there will be no chickens and dogs! ”

Xiong Kuohai glanced at Li Xian, Li Xian bowed slightly, he strode to the edge of the city wall, leaned over and shouted to Sun Gan outside the city: "A certain is the commander of the infantry army under General Li of Yanyunzhai Xiong Kuohai, which one are you?" ”

Sun Gan said loudly: "Sun Gan, the general under Zhishilang!" ”

Hearing this name, Li Xian suddenly outlined a trace of arc at the corner of his mouth. If someone who is familiar with him sees it, he is afraid that he will immediately feel a chill in his heart, because this kind of bad smile is exactly the manifestation of Li Xian when he has a bad idea in his heart. He slowly walked to Xiong Kuohai's side and whispered a few words, Xiong Kuohai was stunned, and then laughed.

After Sun Gan finished asking, he saw that there was no movement on the city wall, so he pulled his neck and shouted: "Zhi Shilang said, I will only give you a stick of incense time to consider, if it is after a stick of incense, even if you want to kneel down and surrender, it will be too late!" ”

Xiong Kuohai listened to Li Xian's instructions, stretched his neck under the city and asked, "Are you really called Sun Gan?" ”

Sun Gan was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "If the eldest husband doesn't change his name or change his surname, it's your General Sun!" ”

Xiong Kuohai smiled and shouted in the loudest voice: "! How is your mother! ”

Sun Gan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately turned pale with anger. He stretched out his finger and pointed at the vast sea, but he couldn't scold a word after holding it for a long time.
