Chapter 273: The Book of the Flying Pigeon
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Chu walked up to the southern city wall in full gear as usual.
He walked up to the city tower and looked at the Nanda camp three miles away, and the blood-red cloak behind him was like a red rod.
Jiao Shan, the guard of the south city gate, bowed his head and waited at his side.
"Jiao Qianhu, in the battle yesterday, what were the casualties under your command?"
Zhang Chu didn't look at him, and said lightly.
"Your Excellency, in yesterday's battle, the guards of the South City Gate City killed 224 officers and soldiers, and seriously wounded 185 officers and soldiers. ”
"Three hundred and seventy-eight people were killed and seventy-six seriously wounded. ”
"One thousand one hundred and thirty-seven soldiers remaining......
Jiao Shan said while carefully observing Zhang Chu's expression, seeing that he suddenly frowned, Jiao Shan's heart suddenly beat wildly, and even the sound of breathing couldn't help but slow down.
As soon as he saw Zhang Chu today, he clearly felt that the evil aura and chill on Zhang Chu's body were getting deeper and deeper!
is the same eight pins, he just poked Zhang Chu's side, and his heart felt extremely depressed.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't avoid it, he wouldn't want to get close to Zhang Chu at all.
Zhang Chu didn't speak.
He still looked at the Northern Barbarian army in the southern camp, silently calculating the comparison of forces between the two sides.
The number of the northern barbarian army on this road is about 20,000.
Scattered to the four city gates, there are more than 5,000 people at one city gate.
In the siege battle yesterday afternoon, Jintianfu occupied the geographical advantage of defending the city, and the casualty ratio of the Northern Barbarians was almost one to two.
The four city gates suffered more than 4,000 casualties, which is converted to the Northern Barbarian army, which is almost 8,000 people.
If you count the Beida Camp that was destroyed by his robbery group last night......
Now the capable warriors of the Northern Barbarian army have survived to 8,000 people.
On the Jintianfu side, the city guards and people of the Four City Gates combined, each with more than 1,000 people, and the men and horses of the Silian Gang were the latest to participate in the battle yesterday, and the casualties were very small, and now there are at least 2,500 men and horses.
Six thousand and five big people are strong against eight thousand Northern Barbarians, and the city wall is geographically advantageous, just stare at those three Qi Sea Giants, and Jintian Mansion will be impregnable!
The crux of the matter now is where did the 15,000 Northern Barbarian army in Zhige County go......
......
"Puff puff. ”
A gray-white dove fluttered its wings and landed gently on the windowsill of a lobby, "cooing" and calling.
A large hand covered with red armor sprinkled a handful of golden wheat on the window, and when the pigeon saw it, it went up and pecked merrily.
The big hand grabbed the pigeon, untied a little finger-thick bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg, took out a small roll of cloth from the bamboo tube, turned around and hurried into the house.
Soon, this roll of cloth appeared in the hands of a young man who had a relationship with Zhang Chu.
In the past, the young man in the white robe and purple knife and the ** swing with the ** sway, now has a golden crown and bundled hair, wearing a purple unicorn stepping fire armor, and in his heroic hair, he shows his majesty and nobility!
He sat on a large cast-iron chair, two white and slender fingers gently pulling open the strip of cloth and glancing at it nonchalantly.
"Huh. ”
He snorted in surprise and sat upright, watching carefully.
After a few breaths, he suddenly shouted: "Someone, please come to Di County Shou and Nie County Captain!"
After a cup of tea, Di Jian and Nie Ben, who were wearing the same red battle armor, hurriedly walked into the lobby.
The two high-ranking feudal officials who were close to knowing the Mandate of Heaven saw the young man in the hall, but they took the initiative to clasp their fists and salute: "The last general will see the son!"
"Hey. ”
The young man smiled and waved his hand, "Uncle Di Shi, Uncle Nie Shi, you two are elders, how can you torture the little nephew so much." ”
"The heart of the prince's fist, the heart of the last general, but the etiquette should not be wasted, otherwise the upward and downward effects, the order will not work, the ban will not stop, and the future will be endless!"
Di Jian got up, clenched his fists and said with a solemn face.
"Okay, okay, whatever you say. ”
The young man looked helpless, "Two uncles, please take a seat." ”
"Xie Shizi. ”
The two feudal officials sat at the bottom of the hall on the left and right.
The young man picked up the strip of cloth from the desk, "This is the news that the little nephew just received, and I also asked the two uncles to take a look." ”
When Di Jian and Nie Ben heard this, they looked at each other, and they both saw a little doubt on each other's faces.
The two of them are not generals of the Zhenbei Army, what news do they need to see?
The guards with knives standing in the hall sent the strips of cloth to Di Jian, and after Di Jian read it, he gave it to Nie Ben.
"Good boy!"
Nie Bencheng's mansion was not as deep as Di Jian's, and as soon as he saw half of it, he couldn't help but praise it: "Ruthless enough, strong enough, the old man really didn't see the wrong person!"
Di Jian smiled and stroked his beard, although he did not speak, but the expression of appreciation on his face was undisguised.
These two feudal officials are different from Shi Anzai.
Shi Anzai was a civil official who was airborne from the capital to Wuding County.
And the two of them have been fighting against the Northern Barbarians for most of their lives.
They slaughtered the Northern Barbarians, and the Northern Barbarians slaughtered and slaughtered their robed brethren.
One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.
The two of them are the two generals who came out of ten thousand bones!
The hatred between them and the Northern Barbarians is deep in the bone marrow, and even if they turn into ashes, they will slap the Northern Barbarians on the cheeks with the wind.
Therefore, as long as you dare to do it with the Northern Barbarians, you are a good man in their eyes!
"This Zhang Bingcao is indeed a tiger general, although he is only eight grades, but he has a heroic spirit, which is better than the generals of the Northern Army of our town!"
The young man in the hall was also stingy with beautiful words, "The little nephew invited the two uncles to come here, I want to ask the two uncles, can the method of breaking the cavalry with firecrackers contained in the letter be true?"
Di Jian set his eyes on Nie Ben.
With his status, a mere gang leader certainly doesn't deserve too much attention from him.
Nie Ben's eyes flashed, and his heart was a little hesitant.
Of course, he knew the young man's intention in asking this.
It was precisely because he knew that he did not dare to speak rashly.
The 150,000 Zhenbei army has only 50,000 seeds left, and it can no longer withstand any strong winds and waves......
He carefully recalled Zhang Chu's rise experience, as well as the results of the previous investigation of Zhang Chu.
After a long time, he nodded and said: "It should be true, that kid is indeed a bold and powerful master, just two years, from a poor Qian, to the number one gang leader in Jintian Mansion, with thousands of disciples in the gang and more than 100,000 silver per month, even the eight counties of Wuding County, there are shadows of the gang under his command!"
"Gangs?"
When the young man in the hall heard Nie Ben say this, he also vaguely recalled some things, and asked, "Uncle Nie Shi, this Zhang Bingcao, but he is from Jintian County, Wuding County?"
Nie Ben recalled for a moment, and asked with a surprised face, "How do you know?"
The young man in the hall raised his eyebrows and smiled, "That's really a coincidence, the year before last, when the little nephew returned to the Hou Mansion from the capital and passed through Wuding County, he had a relationship with this Zhang Bingcao...... It was indeed a very interesting character, and he almost asked Uncle Di Shi for this person at the beginning. ”
