Just when Zhou Tai was looking at Youzhou City blankly, a word suddenly came from the city!

"Who is outside the city, this is Youzhou City! I am a subordinate of the general of the expedition to the east! ”

When Zhou Tai heard the words of the city, he muttered: "General Zhengdong, Zuo Houde? ”

Zuo Houde's fame in Nanming is not small, of course, the main reason is caused by the three battles with Lu Xiaoxian back then, Lu Xiaoxian is the god of war in Nanming after all!

People always like to put Zuo Houde and Lu Xiaoxian together, arguing about who is the best in the world!

Zhou Tai also paid special attention to Zuo Houde, and he also knew that Zuo Houde was named the general of the expedition to the east, naturally, Youzhou City was taken by Zuo Houde, and Zhou Tai naturally understood what it meant!

At that time, Han Tingzhi's order to Zhou Tai was to cut off the flood and rebuild the grain road, if you can conquer Youzhou as much as possible!

At this time, for Zhou Tai, the grain road was no longer indifferent, the city was occupied by Zuo Houde, and the grain road was naturally broken.

As for the attack on Youzhou, it is coming, Zhou Tai will naturally not go back easily, in Zhou Tai's opinion, this Youzhou City is an opportunity for himself to make a great contribution and become famous in the world!

Zhou Tai picked up his big axe, rode a horse, and rushed to the front of the city alone.

Rushing to the city, Zhou Tai shouted loudly: "I am the governor of the Ming Naval Army, and Zhou Tai is also!" Where is Zuo Houde? Can you dare to fight a certain family? ”

Zuo Houde looked at the big man under the city, looked left and right, and asked, "Who wants to go!" ”

Shi Wansui immediately came out with his fists clenched: "The last general is willing to go!" ”

Shi Wansui also held a spear in his hand and rode out of the city!

Looking at the enemy general in front of him, Shi Wansui shouted: "Enemy general, remember, the one who beheads you, Dingcheng Shi Wanzai is also!" ”

After speaking, the fast horse rushed forward, and the spear in his hand quickly stabbed, and was blocked by the big axe in Zhou Tai's hand!

After Zhou Tai blocked Shi Wansui's spear, he laughed and said with a smile: "Your strength is not small!" Eat a certain Xuanhua axe! ”

After speaking, the Xuanhua axe in his hand slashed towards Shi Wansui in a daze, and the spear in Shi Wansui's hand blocked it, but the spear was shaken so much that it kept shaking!

The tiger's mouths on both hands were a little tight for a while, as if they were cracked!

Shi Wansui looked at the big man in front of him for the first time, and said coldly: "Your strength is not small!" ”

Zhou Tai laughed, he wanted to say something, and when he smiled, the movements in his hands were even faster!

Zhou Tai had a smile on his face, and the Xuanhua axe in his hand took advantage of the first chopping momentum, and swept it violently, this sweep was a surprise, and the pursuit was speed!

Shi Wansui was swept by this and almost fell off the horse, of course, even if he took this sweep, Shi Wansui was also hurt a lot.

If the tiger's mouths on both hands were a little tight just now, it seemed to be cracked, but this time it was really cracked!

Shi Wansui looked at the big man in front of him, and immediately gritted his teeth: "Despicable villain!" ”

Zhou Tai was not angry, he just put away his smile, and his face was a little more serious! The Xuanhua axe in the hand, the axe surface shook, the hands were wrapped, and a thorn was like a giant python predatoring!

If you say the first two moves, Shi Wansui can still pick it up and block it. This move, this stabbing Shi Banzai is really difficult to stop, especially when the tiger's mouth is injured!

At this time, a feather arrow from the city came, and the arrow hit the Xuanhua axe in Zhou Tai's hand, making Zhou Tai's move stunned, and was blocked by Shi Wansui!

This arrow was shot by Zuo Houde, and after the enemy general reported to his home, Zuo Houde knew who this person was. Zhou Tai, the governor of the Ming Naval Army, does not have much information about this person, but the shadow has a very high evaluation of him - the thick is fine, the fine is coarse, he can be good at fighting, and he knows how to use the soldiers!

This person was born as a water bandit, and later took the initiative to take refuge in Han Tingzhi, although he has always been not as famous as Lu Xiao, but he has also repeatedly made military exploits, and he has become the governor of the navy!

This is a person who can hold an important position in Daming, can be appointed by Han Tingzhi to sit on the party, and can make Han Tingzhi rest assured that he will be able to arrange the important task of cutting off Hong Zaixing's grain route.

Such a person is not as simple as a reckless man he shows, this is an extremely delicate character in his heart, afraid that Shi Wansui will be deceived, Zuo Houde is naturally very concerned about this battle!

Sure enough, Shi Wansui was deceived by Zhou Tai's appearance and language, if it weren't for Zuo Houde's constant attention, Shi Wanzai would really be shrouded in horse leather!

Zhou Tai's three moves did not make a contribution, and the two fell into a fight again, and it took dozens of rounds, and Shi Wansui gradually gained the upper hand!

In terms of martial arts, Shi Wansui is still stronger than Zhou Tai, even if the tiger's mouth is torn, he can steadily suppress Zhou Tai!

After a while, the two fought the last move, and Zhou Tai saw that he couldn't do anything, and shouted with a scolding in his mouth: "Zuo Houde, you are not a son of man, you hurt people with secret arrows, you are not a hero!" ”

The horse was about to leave, of course, Zhou Tai took a deep look before withdrawing the horse, and the tiger squatting cannon on the city wall!

Zuo Houde was not used to him, and raised his hand to be a feather arrow, the arrow was like a bolt of lightning, and it flew out of the city wall quickly, and plunged into Zhou Tai's horse's buttocks!

The horse couldn't help howling, lifted up its front legs, and almost shook Zhou Tai down!

Zhou Tai didn't say anything more, and after stabilizing the war horse under him, he withdrew to the barracks!

Shi Wansui on the side also retreated to Youzhou City!

……

"The last will be guilty! Thank you for saving your life! Shi Wansui knocked on one knee, clenched his fists with both hands, with a guilty face, and gratitude to Zuo Houde in his eyes!

Zuo Houde first glanced at Shi Wansui, his eyes were like a sword, as if he was about to pierce people's hearts, he hummed lightly, and then turned his back to Shi Wansui.

Zuo Houde said slowly: "Do you know where you went wrong?" ”

"The last general was careless and was deceived by Zhou Taimeng!" Shi Wansui's voice was full of apologies!

Zuo Houde didn't look back, walked back and forth a few steps, and said, "Wolf! You're a wolf general, but only a general! If you can be as delicate as Zhou Tai, you are handsome! ”

Shi Wansui's nickname wolf, was Zuo Houde's personal guard and student, which was a nickname at that time!

As soon as Shi Wansui wanted to refute, Zuo Houde turned around, his eyes seemed to be eagle's eyes, Shi Wanzai didn't dare to look at it directly, and he didn't dare to speak!

Zuo Houde said: "When Zhou Tai reports his name, you should pay attention!" Governor of the Nanming Water Army! Nanming is not more north than me, the south is more water warfare, a naval governor, the person who leads all the naval armies in Nanming, how can he be a reckless man?

He pretends to be a reckless man on the outside, but he must be delicate on the inside! Han Tingzhi dared to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, this person must not be simple!"

When Shi Wansui heard what Zuo Houde said, he didn't dare to quibble, so he said: "Principal, students know their mistakes!" ”

Zuo Houde looked at Shi Wansui, his face softened a lot, and he said softly: "You are the most fierce among my students!" But there is more ferocity, not more strategy! Take history as a mirror and learn from Lu Meng! ”

"No!"

Zuo Houde asked Shi Wansui to step back and turn around, he still didn't tell Shi Wansui, Zhou Tai is not only as simple as being delicate, even if it is the film's evaluation of him - thick and fine, fine and coarse, can be good at fighting, know how to use soldiers!

Such an evaluation is also low in Zuo Houde's opinion, especially Zhou Tai's last glance - looking deeply at the tiger squatting cannon! This glance is very deep and fast, if it weren't for Zuo Houde keeping his eyes on Zhou Tai, maybe he wouldn't have found it!

Zuo Houde didn't know why Zhou Tai wanted to look at him, but it was this glance that made Zuo Houde's evaluation of him a few points higher!

Zuo Houde sighed deeply: "Nan Mingduo is a capable general!" Jiang Ruoxu, Lu Xiaoxian, Pei Ju, and this Zhou Tai! ”

……

Outside the city, barracks.

When Zhou Tai returned to the barracks, he changed the recklessness and exaggeration on his face, and became more calm, and at the same time, he didn't have the upper hand in today's battle, and Zhou Tai's face was even more grim!

Seeing that Zhou Tai's face was wrong, the surrounding guards didn't dare to touch their brows! Zhou Tai instructed: "Send the order down, go to the surrounding villages and countryside, and inquire about the news, I want to know why Zuo Houde's army is in the city!" ”

When the surrounding guards heard this, they immediately retreated!

Zhou Tai sat alone in the military tent! He muttered in his mouth: "Long live a good history, martial arts are extraordinary, of course, if it weren't for Zuo Houde's arrow, the three-plate axe of a certain family would be stained with blood again!" ”

Thinking of Zuo Houde's arrow, not two arrows! Zhou Tai is still related, although he is using the tall city wall to shoot arrows on the city, but Zhou Tai and Shi Wansui have two hundred steps when they fight, and sharp arrows can still have such power! You can shoot so accurately!

This kind of archery is unheard of by Zhou Tai, it is simply a miracle shot!

Zhou Tai's three-plate axe is the most exquisite three moves in his martial arts, and it is difficult for ordinary generals to take the next axe, even if Shi Wansui is the world's first-class general, it is difficult to take the three-plate axe under carelessness!

Of course, what this trick wants is to be surprised, Zhou Tai often looks like a reckless man in battle, and even the reputation of a reckless man spreads all over Nanming, Zhou Tai doesn't think so, this is Zhou Tai's purpose, the enemy's contempt will often bring him more great power to the three-plate axe!

Only those who really know Zhou Tai know that Zhou Tai has always been a character who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, although he pretends to be a reckless man on the outside, but he is especially delicate!

Zuo Houde's last glance was not mistaken, Zhou Tai did take a deep look at the tiger squatting cannon!

Zhou Tai is also a person who can recruit good soldiers, although he is a naval army, but Zhou Tai has always been familiar with military books, whether it is a siege or a small land, foot warfare, water warfare, cavalry, Zhou Tai has his own opinions!

The tiger squatting cannon in the city, Zhou Tai asked himself, but he had never seen it, when he saw the "left" flag on the city! Zhou Tai immediately thought of Zuo Houde, and then thought of how Zuo Houde captured Youzhou!

Same as Han Tingzhi's idea, if you take a detour to Youzhou, you won't have enough time to hurry, and the time will not be right!

Then the only possibility is to come by the route of Qingzhou and Hanzhou!

This means that Zuo Houde has now occupied the north, and in just two months, Zuo Houde has captured Hanzhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou in a row!

Of course, this is just one of Zhou Tai's thoughts, as for the possibility that there are traitors in Hanzhou, Qingzhou, and Youzhou, or that Zuo Houde and some people have reached a consensus together, but it is too low!

After all, it is nothing to conquer Youzhou, and in turn Hanzhou and Qingzhou, so Zhou Tai instructed his subordinates to ask the details of the siege, why they can attack the city so quickly, and the tiger squat cannon in the city may be related to Zuo Houde's siege in Zhou Tai's opinion!

After a while, Zhou Tai's personal guards rushed back, looked at Zhou Tai, clasped his fists and said: "General Qiqi, the surrounding villagers outside the city can't tell clearly, and the subordinates don't understand very well, so I have brought back the villagers, and the general inquires!" ”

Zhou Tai looked at the villagers in front of him, a middle-aged man, Zhou Tai pretended to be heroic, and laughed: "Folks! A certain Zhou Tai, the general of the Nanming Water Army! If the villagers can tell a certain family the details of the siege a few days ago, they will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver! ”

As he spoke, Zhou Tai asked someone to take out the silver money and put it in front of this man!

This man first glanced at Zhou Tai, then at the silver, and suddenly felt extremely credible, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva!

So the man began to talk about 1510: "General, just ten days ago, I was collecting medicine in the mountains!" Suddenly a large army came from outside the city, and then it was about to attack the city! The small people hid in the distant mountains and saw the details of this siege!

The two sides first fought in a battle, the general in the city lost, and after retreating to the city, the army outside the city put out again, black and swarthy equipment, so that the equipment was like a tiger squatting on the ground, very hideous! ”

Zhou Tai listened to the villagers say this, and suddenly remembered that he saw the "Tiger Squat Cannon" in the city today, and the appearance of this thing is really the same as what the villagers described, and this thing is really related to the siege of the city!

The man continued: "The army outside the city, take out such equipment and press it black, I don't know how many, it should be thousands!"

Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound from these instruments, and then, like catapults, these instruments were like catapults, and from a long distance, they hit a stone-like thing at the city wall, and these stone-like things were still bursting on the city wall, and the city wall seemed to be falling!

After three or four rounds, there was no one left in the city, and the army outside the city attacked the city! The villain doesn't know about the things in the city! ”

After finishing speaking, the man looked at Zhou Tai, and then looked at the silver money.

Zhou Tai gave him the money, asked him to step back, and sat alone in the big tent!

In the words of the name of the village, Zhou Tai got a lot of information, first of all, such a thing can attack the city like a catapult, but the defenders in the city can't cause damage, so the distance between each other is at least four hundred steps!

Catapults, Zhou Tai has them in his own army, but this thing is not a big deal, it's inconvenient! The stone is large and lethal, but it is difficult to hit the enemy and pose a huge threat.

Experienced defenders will not be afraid of catapults at all, this thing is not dense enough, let alone let the enemy troops on the city walls all retreat!

And what Zhou Tai saw on the city wall today was simply small and exquisite compared to the catapult, not to mention, the stones thrown by this thing could also explode, causing a huge threat!

Thinking of such a thing on the city wall, thinking of the distant killing distance, with the help of the tall city wall, the distance will be farther and more lethal, Zhou Tai suddenly felt that his military camp was two miles away from the city wall, it was a little close, so he immediately ordered - withdraw five miles away!

At the same time, Zhou Tai wrote another letter to Han Tingzhi, telling him the news here, especially this siege machine!
