Chapter 13: The Wingman Comes Again

The wingman is really here, yesterday was night, and now it is just past noon, in broad daylight, even if Zhu Tiangang can still kill and capture the flag, it is obviously not as easy as last night...

The city gates had been closed, and the soldiers and men had rushed to the city to prepare for battle, and the atmosphere was very tense.

However, when the soldiers found that Zhu Tiangang had stepped on the city, they suddenly burst into earth-shattering cheers, as if they had defeated the invading wingmen.

Zhu Tiangang waved at the soldiers, he didn't need any inspirational words, his calm bearing had already calmed down the soldiers' nervous mood...

Seeing Zhu Tiangang going to the city, Lu Guocheng hurriedly led his subordinates to greet him, and Dou Yulan and Fan Li were also among them.

"What about the king?"

"Don't worry, he has promised not to trouble you, saying that he is tired, I will let him go to the post house to rest"

Isn't it okay, after being brainwashed by Zhu Tiangang, Steward Wang is already like a fool, and he doesn't even remember what he came to do, and the reason why Zhu Tiangang left him alive was to find the goblin he had been in contact with...

Lu Guocheng nodded noncommittally and said, "I'm afraid that the wingmen are prepared this time, and there are many more troops than last night, can General Zhu have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

There is no need for Lu Guocheng to introduce him, Zhu Tiangang has already seen the situation of the bureaucrats outside the city.

Sure enough, the number of wingmen today is much more than last night, dense, I am afraid that there are five or six thousand people, and this time there are more than ten flags with the logo of the leader among the wingmen, making it impossible to distinguish which is the real boss.

Obviously, the wingman did this to prevent a repeat of the scene where the leader was beheaded last night, and this is not the most surprising, among these wingmen, not only did there appear more than 20 ladders, but even several extremely powerful bed crossbows, not to mention ordinary standard bows and arrows...

Seeing this, Zhu Tiangang couldn't help but be a little surprised, it didn't matter how many troops he had, but looking at the posture of the wingmen, he was obviously armed by the regular army.

"Lord Lu, I don't really understand, why do the bureaucrats attach so much importance to our inconspicuous state capital?"

"Sixty miles south of Pingzhou, Nanpu Pass is the last pass into Lingnan, Nanpu Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the score is said to that side, as long as you occupy Nanpu Pass, you can completely cut off the way of life of the imperial army, and from Pingzhou to Nanpu Pass, there is no danger to defend..."

It can be seen that Lu Guocheng is not surprised that the wingman will have such a sophisticated weapon, obviously he has known it for a long time.

Zhu Tiangang's predecessor was also born as a soldier, and Lu Guocheng only said a rough idea, and he understood.

Nodding and said, "How is the battle over there in Lingnan, who is leading the army?"

"It doesn't seem to be going well, Lingnan is mountainous, especially in the area of the Iron Mountain where Modova is entrenched, the terrain is complicated, and the army can't be used at all, I heard that Modova has also found a lot of capable people who can spell to help fight..."

Lu Guocheng paused when he said this, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "The commander of the Lingnan counterinsurgency army is the governor of Luzhou and the general of the right military guard, if General Zhu can be appreciated by his old man, not to mention Master Pei, even the king of Huaiyang can't help you."

Zhu Tiangang was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "General Cheng! Cheng bites gold?"

If he's pretty good, this guy seems rude, but he's a goblin, and he has an extraordinary relationship with Li Shimin, but he's pretty easy to get along with...

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but flash a smile.

Lu Guocheng had been observing Zhu Tiangang's expression, and when he saw Zhu Tiangang smiling, his expression suddenly became unnatural, and he coughed dryly: "General Zhu knows General Cheng."

"Hehe! How could I know such a high-ranking official? Rest assured, since we are destined to be together, we will advance and retreat together in the future."

There is no need to say too thoroughly, just click on it, but this bit of information is enough to surprise Lu Guocheng and others...

A hero with three gangs, no matter what time and place, if you want to eat, how can you do it without a few capable partners?

The officials who came into contact, Lu Guocheng was capable, Dou Yulu was cunning, and Fan Li didn't say much, but it was not difficult to see from his performance in methodically provoking military supplies that this was definitely a cadre, and these people might be able to use it in the future...

Although Lu Guocheng and others have not been in contact with Zhu Tiangang for a long time, Zhu Tiangang's amazing appearance, especially when he heard the emperor's favorite minister Cheng bite Jin, his indifferent expression is enough to show that Zhu Tiangang is not an ordinary person, saying that it is a bit early to put in effect, but how to have a good relationship first...

"Woo..."

The sound of a desolate trumpet sounded below the city, but it turned out that while a few people were talking, the wingman's army had stopped beyond the range of the city's arrows.

"Shoot and wait!"

With a contemptuous smile, Zhu Tiangang raised his legs and stood on the battlements.

Everyone knows that Datang is well-armed, but what kind of army is scored, that state capital, an inferior state like Pingzhou, there is still a distance from being well-armed...

The throwing gun is made of bamboo poles, and an iron tip is added in front, a bit like the red tassel gun of later generations, which looks inconspicuous, but is very practical.

Hearing Zhu Tiangang's order, Li Kan, the captain of the personal army, hurriedly handed over a throwing gun.

"Not enough, bring more!"

Before the words fell, Zhu Tiangang threw the throwing gun in his hand.

"Whew!"

I saw the spear flying towards the wingman formation with a fierce wind, and then directly nailed a wingman holding the flag to the ground.

"General Zhu is mighty..."

Before the screams of the other side were shouted, bursts of cheers broke out again in Pingzhou City, and this was just the beginning.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Zhu Tiangang kept his hands and threw all the throwing guns that Li Kan had brought over, and he didn't look at him aiming, but each throwing gun accurately shot a flag-holding wingman.

After about thirty throwing guns, there was no longer a single flag bearer in the wingman array, and the entire wingman team was suddenly in chaos...

"Smack, smack!"

Zhu Tiangang clapped his hands very coquettishly, stretched his waist and posed, and then turned around and jumped down.

If you want to keep a low profile, why is it so hard to pinch...

His thoughts did not stop, his brow furrowed slightly, and he turned sharply and raised his hand, and grasped the crossbow arrow that had been shot at him in his hand like lightning, which was not shot by a normal crossbow, but from a bed crossbow.

I rubbed it! I forgot about it...

"Whew!"

Just as he was about to tell Li Kan to bring a few more throwing guns, a horn suddenly sounded in the mountains and forests in the distance.

Hearing the sound of the horn, the wingmen who were originally in a mess and had been intimidated by Zhu Tiangang's divine power and were about to disperse gradually stopped, turned around, and slowly approached the city wall again...

Only then did Zhu Tiangang react, it turned out that those flag bearers were just a disguise, and the one who really commanded the army was the trumpeter hidden in the mountains and forests.

"Woo..."

Zhu Tiangang was pondering, the sound of the horn in the mountains and forests suddenly became urgent, and with the change of the horn, the wingmen also seemed to have been suddenly beaten with chicken blood, and rushed towards the city wall with a strange scream.

In broad daylight, in full view of everyone, Zhu Tiangang couldn't cast spells at all, and he could also feel that it was not a monster who commanded the battle in the mountains and forests.

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to think too much, so I can only fight hard.

"Brothers, behind us are our fathers, elders, fellow brothers and sisters, and we must not let them be killed by thieves!"

Zhu Tiangang said, and once again threw out several throwing spears one after another, nailing several wingmen carrying bed crossbows to the ground, and at this time, the wingmen's army had also been killed under the city wall...
