CHAPTER XXXVII

Hearing Tuoba Yewang's tone as cold as hell, these centurions couldn't help but shudder, and hurriedly bowed their heads in absolute obedience, so as not to anger the elder of the thousand masters and let themselves suffer.

"I will personally guard this Weizhou City, I don't know who the person in the city who is against me is, and I don't want to know who he is, as long as the people in him dare to come out, I will definitely let him understand what the party cavalry is. Since they don't want me in, I won't let them out, and I'll see who can outweigh whom. Now I am suddenly looking forward to the grand occasion of those Han people here falling on the ground one by one, and I will build those heads into a tower and give them a lesson that they will never forget. Tuoba Yewang's face turned out to be nervously twitching.

"This time, whoever of you brings the most Han people and grain, I will be rewarded, and whoever brings the least will not blame me for being polite; Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

"Go your separate ways, give you three days!"

"No!"

Guo Wei stood on the city wall and looked at the party cavalry that dispersed in the three directions of southeast and west, and immediately understood the plan made by the party members. As Tuoba Yewang said, it is impossible for a single Weizhou city to shelter all the people of Weizhou, and he only has time to temporarily move the people within a radius of twenty miles from Weizhou City into the city, which is already his limit. No matter how far they go, they can only send their men to warn them along the way, so that they can find shelter and take refuge.

But no matter how hidden it is, so many party cavalry will be scattered, there will definitely be some to find, and the number of scouts is limited, there will definitely be places that have been missed, if these people are found by the party members, it will be a catastrophe.

Guo Wei was very anxious in his heart, but he couldn't think of an effective way for the time being, and there were about 800 party cavalry stationed under the city, staring closely at Weizhou City; Although there are about 1,000 government soldiers in the city, half of them are newly recruited after he came to Weizhou, and the weapons and armor are not complete, and the combat effectiveness is very different from the party cavalry under the city, and the cavalry among the 1,000 government soldiers is only 150 people.

If the government soldiers go out of the city to face the battle, they will definitely be torn to pieces by the eight hundred party cavalry under the city, and it is estimated that even Weizhou City will not be able to keep it at that time; But if you don't go out of the city, you have to watch the wanton plundering of those party members, and the people farther away are poisoned; Guo Wei felt a deep powerlessness in his heart, more powerless than ever.

It will be the soul of the soldier, and the soldier is the courage of the general; He thought that if he still had one-tenth of the previous troops under his command now, not to mention the 2,000 party troops who came to attack Weizhou, even if they were doubled, they would definitely have no return, but the current actual situation, even if he had thousands of strategies in his chest, it would be useless.

Guo Wei suddenly began to hate the bureaucrats who fought for power and profit in the imperial court, and those bureaucrats never cared about the suffering people in the border areas when they were fighting for their own selfish interests; They live a life of fine clothes and food, dogs and horses, but the people here have become a luxury to even live; They control the army in their hands, but those armies are just sharp weapons in their hands to fight for power, and the Tuntian Mansion army, which really protects the people here, not only has no military salary, but also no weapons or leather armor; They are guarding this land with their lives and guarding the most humble survival of the Han people, but after all, they are no match for filling their pockets and sloping horses.

Once upon a time, he Guo Wei was also keen on officialdom, thinking of relying on his talents to make contributions and stand on top of the temple; At that time, he always looked up to the court, although he disdained to be in the company of those bureaucrats, but for his own future, he occasionally became a sword in their hands; He never set his sights on this place, because it was too remote and too far from fame.

Thinking about it like this, Guo Wei began to hate himself a little.

"The order is to let Changshi and the captains go to the council hall to discuss matters, and let Zhao Feilong temporarily replace Wang Sheng as the captain of the Leopard Tao Regiment and also come to the council hall." Guo Wei said as he walked down the city wall.

"No!" One of the soldiers agreed, hurriedly ran down the city wall, and gave the order.

In the meeting hall of Weizhou Zhichong Mansion, Guo Wei sat at the top of the place, and there were five people sitting at the bottom, namely Li Xin, the captain of the Flying Eagle Regiment, Tang Tianhe, the captain of the Sky Wolf Regiment, Dong Cheng, the acting captain of the Leopard Tao Regiment, and Li Tianming, the captain of the Auxiliary Corps.

"Everyone should have seen it just now, the intention of the party members is already very obvious, to use an army to contain us, and let the others go around to loot the surrounding people, let's talk about it, what should we do now?" Guo Wei didn't have any greetings, and directly opened the case and pointed out the theme of this meeting.

Everyone was silent, they all knew very well that this was a dilemma, if they went out of the city, they would die in battle, and Weizhou City might not be protected, but if they cowered into the city and watched the people outside being slaughtered, it would be contrary to their duty as a soldier; In the past, they would experience such an ordeal every year, originally Guo Wei's arrival gave them hope, but in the end it was still empty, Bai Huanxi was happy, they didn't want to suffer this kind of torment again, but they had to endure it, because, in addition to the people outside the city, there were also many people in the city.

When the difference in strength is too great, any strategy will be overshadowed; They really can't think of a way to do both, and they can respond with silence.

Seeing everyone's silence, Guo Wei was not too disappointed, which he had expected a long time ago.

"Okay, since everyone hasn't come up with an effective solution, then I'll talk about my solution." Guo Wei paused for a moment, and then continued: "Gather all the cavalry in Zhichong Mansion, under my command, and go out of the city on the third watch, taking advantage of the cover of night and the advantage of the surrounding terrain, I am sure to get rid of the pursuit of the party cavalry outside the city." Since their purpose is to plunder the people, then those scattered party troops will definitely not be concentrated, we will concentrate our forces, with more against less, and save as many people as we can. After I left the city, all the defense in the city was taken over by Tang Tianhe, the captain of the Tiger Ben Regiment, and everyone supported Tang Tianhe's military orders and must not be disobeyed. ”

After speaking, Guo Weiyou looked at Tang Tianhe: "Your task is to defend Weizhou City and protect the tens of thousands of people in Weizhou City; If I lose outside the city, I can't open the city to save me, even if they slaughter the people outside the city, they must not open the city gate and defend Weizhou City, and I will do a great job for you. ”

Tang Tianhe Huo Ran got up: "I don't agree, if you want to go out, I will lead the troops out, Lieutenant, you are now the highest commander in Weizhou City, and you can't move lightly." ”

Guo Wei looked at Tang Tianhe and said indifferently: "This is a military order, not a discussion with you." It's not that I underestimate you, you still have some ability to defend the city, but you are still far from commanding the cavalry to fight, if I go out, maybe there is still some life, if you go out, you will definitely die. ”

Hearing Guo Wei say this, Tang Tianhe stopped talking, although what Guo Wei said was extremely insulting, it is indeed an indisputable fact, in terms of commanding cavalry to fight, he can't catch up with Guo Wei, with the existing conditions in Weizhou City, Guo Wei's command of cavalry is undoubtedly the most suitable, but at the same time, it is also the most dangerous, and a careless person may be scattered by the party army to pieces.

Tang Tianhe only hates himself now for being so mediocre, and he has no ability to share it for Du Wei at a critical moment.

Dong Cheng, Zhao Feilong, and Li Tianming stood up at the same time: "I am willing to go out of the city to fight with Lord Duwei." ”

Guo Wei looked at them, frowned slightly, and was not angry: "You are all out of the city, who will guard the city?" Are all my soldiers so disrespectful of military orders? ”

The faces of the three of them changed greatly, and they hurriedly explained: "Lord Duwei......."

Guo Wei stretched out his hand, interrupted their words, and thought for a while: "In this way, Dong Cheng is from a cavalry, and this time he will go out of the city with me, which can be regarded as a helper, in case I have any accidents, Dong Cheng will replace the command; Zhao Feilong and Li Tianming assisted Tang Tianhe to stay in the city defense, and Li Xin organized the people in the city to repair and install the city defense equipment. ”

Guo Wei stood up, and the next five people also got up.

"After I leave, pay attention to the situation in the city at any time, don't cause chaos, if there is chaos, no matter who it is, there will be no mercy!"

After Guo Wei finished saying the words "no forgiveness", the momentum on his body suddenly changed, and his tiger eyes were shining, and at this time, he unabashedly showed the murderous aura that came out of the sea of blood in the mountains of corpses after a hundred battles.

Tang Tianhe and the others were also soldiers, and they immediately felt the murderous aura on Guo Wei's body, their expressions froze, and they replied in unison: "No! ”

After everything was agreed, everyone left the council hall and entered their respective posts according to Guo Wei's instructions.

Dong Cheng assisted Guo Wei to gather the only one hundred and fifty cavalry in the city to the government soldier training ground, Guo Wei stood in front of the one hundred and fifty Zhichong cavalry, looking at one hundred and fifty pairs of solemn eyes: "Tonight I will take you to fight with the party people, there are more than 2,000 party troops outside the city, and we only have one hundred and fifty people, there are no reinforcements out of the city, we can only fight alone, we will be torn to pieces by them at any time, this is a battle of nine deaths, if anyone is cowardly, you can withdraw now, There is no way back when I get out of the city, and I don't want anyone to affect my combat deployment because of cowardice; What I need is a warrior who will leave life and death behind, a warrior who dares to rush forward and fight his last drop of blood even in the face of several times the enemy, only in this way will we have a glimmer of life, and those people outside the city will have a glimmer of life. ”

"Now, I will give you a stick of incense, and if anyone is afraid of death can quit, I will not blame, because as the commander, I am not taking you to win the battle, but to send you to death, and everyone has the right to live."

After speaking, Guo Wei watched quietly.

Most of the people have firm eyes, their eyes are full of fierce war intent, over the years, their family and friends have been bullied and slaughtered by the party members more or less, the country and the family hate, why be afraid of this; There were also a small number of people with wandering eyes, secretly looking at the people beside them, and suddenly one person lowered his head and stepped back, and slowly, one after another, there were more than 20 people.
