Outside the city of Nanzheng, it was not until nightfall that the men and horses who had arrived from Ankang set up the camp properly, settled in it, and began to make stoves for cooking.

While the camp was set up to transport materials back and forth, Li Xian had already led his troops to carefully observe the layout around the city, and reported to Li Tai in detail when it was time for dinner.

"There are also garrisons in several camps in the south and west of the city, and the number of fires is about five or six thousand, and most of them are the genus of the barbarians near the Bayi Mountain, and there are many types, and they are not unified, even if they start a war, it is difficult to advance and retreat together......

Li Xian first told Li Tai about the garrison outside Nanzheng City, and Li Tai frowned after listening to it and said: "Nanzheng City is so majestic and wide, and there is no shortage of horn cities near the left, and the cities are more than enough to accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, but there are still thousands of troops stationed outside the city, and the army in the city is already majestic?"

When Li Xian heard this question, he shook his head and said, "There are many troops gathered in the city, although the last general does not know, but it is expected that the city will not be full to distinguish the outside. There are many barbarians in Hanzhong, who have always been despised by the state capital, and although they need to rely on the strength of the masses, they still refuse to treat them as one."

In the Shannan area, there are many powerful people, that is, the so-called chiefs of the caves of the county and the heroes of the villages, most of these people are barbarian heroes, who have lived between the mountains and caves for generations, and have traveled between the various political regimes with the force they have mastered, so as to expand their own power.

For example, Ankang Lee's is one of the representatives with good development momentum.

Although the Li brothers said that their father and son had eaten Liang Lu for several generations, they actually belonged to the Bayi branch that the Northern Wei Dynasty had appeased in Shannan in the early years, and later because the Northern Wei Dynasty relaxed its control over Shannan, his father took the land to the Southern Liang, but he was still not trusted by the Southern Liang and was not allowed to be the pastor of the state, and moved to Hengzhou to assassinate the history, and his son Li Qianzhe stayed in the township, commanded his department, and developed his clan into one of the most powerful forces in Ankang.

Li Xian said that these barbarians have always been despised by the state capital, but in fact, the key is that these barbarians themselves have seen the wind and steered the rudder, and they lack loyalty at all.

However, Li Tai did not despise them because of this, compared to the strict social hierarchy of the Southern Dynasties and the crimes committed by the Northern Dynasties, other local forces always need to survive, and it is understandable to have their own livelihoods.

Although their position is capricious, as long as they are cool-headed, can understand what is the real opportunity and strive to climb up, they are worthy of cooperation.

Therefore, Li Tai did not hesitate to risk his life and led hundreds of people from all over the department to follow the Li clan to Nanzheng, not so much to trust the Li brothers, but to believe that the opportunities and conditions he provided to them were beyond anyone else's!

After dinner, the group went into their accounts and took a break. Seeing these campers moving in an orderly manner and being strictly disciplined, Li Tai couldn't help but secretly feel that Li Qianzhe was indeed very capable.

There is no shortage of Hao chiefs who can pull out thousands of strong tribes in Shannan, but there are not many who can train the tribes so prohibitively and disciplinedly. Especially these centaurs can still be calm and not panic when they go deep into danger, this quality can already be called an elite army.

Historically, after the chieftains of Shannan returned to the Northern Zhou Dynasty of the Western Wei Dynasty, their subordinates were either incorporated or had no deeds to show since then, but only Li Qianzhe's troops still shined, becoming one of the main forces of the Northern Zhou Dynasty of the Western Wei Dynasty to continue to develop southward, and it was also an important part of the future Xiangyang Prefecture soldiers. Even in the founding period of Li Tang, Li Qianzhe's family won the honor of being attached to Zongzheng by virtue of its strong local power.

Li Tai sighed in his heart, so he also took advantage of the fact that there was nothing to do at the moment, and lay down and fell asleep in his clothes.

After some time, there was the sound of carriages and horses outside the tent and the sound of shouting, and Li Tai had been sleeping very lightly, but when he woke up and got up and walked out of the tent, he saw a group of men and horses entering the camp with torches.

Li Xian, who was already wearing armor, hurried over with a saber in his hand, and whispered before entering, "Brother has told the city, and he will transport the baggage into the city this night. The last general came to inform the envoy, and the envoy asked him to stay in the camp for the time being......

When Li Tai heard this, he waved his hand and smiled, "How can you go on a long journey? General, don't underestimate my ability to kill the enemy, if you succeed in this trip, you will celebrate together, and if you fail, you will die together, and there is no difference between the front and the back."

As he spoke, he ordered Zhang Shinu and other cronies to return to their tents and put on their armor

Preparing for war, he also walked out in armor, and he still held the dragon pattern lance that he had retrieved from Xihe County before.

In the open space in the center of the camp, Liu Fan looked around while counting the supplies, and felt that the atmosphere in the camp was a little dull and solemn, so he looked at Li Qianzhe and said with a smile: "The Marquis of Zhuanyang is really strict and skillful in governing the army, no wonder he can deter Shannan and the masses to obey."

"Thank you for the compliment, but I know that I still owe points compared to this praise, and I hope it will be achieved soon."

Li Qianzhe said with a smile, but the smile on his face seemed somewhat unclear.

However, after seeing those genuine materials, Liu Fan's vigilance against Li Qianzhe in his heart also decreased a lot, and when he saw that the inventory of materials had already passed halfway, he ordered the soldiers who went out of the city to escort a batch of inventory materials back to the city.

Nanzheng Castle is divided into the outer Luocheng and the inner Jincheng, and important buildings such as the state capital, arsenal and warehouse are all located in the Jincheng. If these materials are to be delivered to the warehouse, they will naturally enter Jincheng, so at the same time as the materials are being shipped, Liu Fan also handed over the order to enter and exit Jincheng to the commander of the team.

When Li Qianzhe saw this scene, he gave a look to the henchman beside him, and even if he invited Liu Fan to sit in the account for a while, there were many kinds of materials left, and it was estimated that it would take nearly an hour to complete the inventory.

Liu Fan also drank a few glasses of water and wine at the banquet to welcome Li Qianzhe, and was a little dizzy after being blown by the night breeze, and when he saw that the front team was already close to the city gate, he also agreed to Li Qianzhe's proposal.

When he arrived at the horse camp on the side of the main tent, Liu Fan pointed to the horses in the stable and said with a smile: "Such a divine horse's mount is indeed rare in Shannan, and it must have taken a lot of effort for the Marquis of Zhuanyang to gather so much?"

After Li Qianzhe heard this, he couldn't help but feel more aware of Liu Fan's keen observation, but when things came to this point, his fear of Liu Fan was also greatly reduced, so he casually covered up the past, and then dragged Liu Fan's arm straight into the account.

Dozens of carts loaded with supplies lined up in front and back, the city gate of Luocheng was wide open, allowing the carts to line up to pass, and the escort commander and the city gate governor stood aside, muttering and complaining that it was necessary to toss so late.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and the soldiers between the city gates suddenly became alarmed in their hearts, and when they followed the prestige, they found that it was Li Xianzheng, the younger brother of Li Qianzhe, the Marquis of Zhuanyang, who led a team to ride a horse, so the commander of the army stepped forward and asked with a smile: "What is the ...... General Li is here?"

Before the words fell, Li Xian, who was on the horse, had already drawn out his saber and slashed down. At the same time, Zhang Shinu and several other soldiers led their bows to shoot the pack horses and coachmen pulling the carts in front of the city gate, and the trucks that lost power were immediately shelved in the city gate, while Zhang Shinu and others took advantage of the situation to climb and cross, rushing into the city gate to kill the guards who rushed to the city after hearing the news.

There are facilities such as drums and beacons at the gates of Dafan, which can be used to warn the whole city in case of an unexpected situation.

Due to the sudden occurrence of the change, the defenders of the city gate have not yet reacted, the governor has been beheaded outside the city, and the city gate is also blocked by the trucks entering the city and cannot be closed, so that more enemy soldiers pour into the city.

The guards on the city tower have just opened the room with the police drums, and the brave enemy soldiers in the rear have been killed, and the swords and guns are waving to seize this place, the guards are struggling to resist, and there are healthy soldiers who are struggling to beat the drums, and the police drums have just sounded a few times and then stopped abruptly, and the original drum surface was directly shot through by the powerful arrows that flew from the rear!

The prepared Li tribes poured into the jammed city gate, and when the soldiers who entered the city were already quite numerous, they fought with the defenders who rushed to hear the news from Zuo, and at the same time moved the cars blocking the city gate, so that more than 100 elite horsemen in the rear could run into the city.

As soon as he was thrown into the battlefield, Li Tai seemed to be a different person, the handsome and leisurely young man on weekdays seemed to be possessed by a fierce god at this moment, his eyes were cold and almost not wavering, and the horse lance that was churning and flying in his hands was as dexterous and deadly as a tongue letter, and all the enemy soldiers who were kissed and licked by him were either killed or wounded, and in a very short time, they chiseled through a bloody road in the enemy formation!

The first time Li Xian saw Li Tai like this, he couldn't help but be surprised for a while, sighing to himself, and chased after Li Tai along the bloody road that Li Tai killed. When he thought that he was worried about the danger of the battlefield just now and persuaded Li Tai to stay outside the city, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Other soldiers were still fighting and fighting with the enemy troops who rushed to the city inside and outside the city gate, trying to hold the city gate, but Li Tai and more than 100 elite cavalry were not time to stop, and rushed straight to the inner Jincheng under the leadership of the cronies who had chased Li Qianzhe into the city before.

As his own subordinates at the city gate struggled to seize the door, Li Qianzhe also directly took the stunned and shocked Liu Fan. He was not in the mood to immediately care about Liu Fan's old grudges that made it difficult for him several times, and led the rest of the men and horses straight to the city gate.

Seeing that the military camps outside the city were already moving when they heard the sound, and there was no shortage of soldiers rushing here, Li Qianzhe ordered his troops to cut open the trucks and bags scattered outside the city with knives and spill the goods all over the ground.

Taking advantage of the fact that those soldiers were rushing in front of the city gate, Li Qianzhe led the rest of the men and horses into the city, and completely controlled the city gate, knowing that Li Tai had taken the lead in rushing to Jincheng, he did not dare to stay, and ordered the men and horses to temporarily guard here, and he led his troops to rush to Jincheng.

At this time, Li Tai and the others had also rushed to the Jincheng Gate, and the gatekeeper had already checked that the talisman was correct, but he noticed that their group was different from the form of the cane of the Nanzheng defenders, so they had to ask carefully again.

"Kill!"

Li Tai snapped, and nailed the governor to the half-hidden city gate with the horse lance in his hand, and then slammed his horse into the city gate.
