"Open the door! Help!"

According to Zhen Bingliang's speculation, the distance between the cavalry and the camp gate was close to 100 paces, and if it was placed in daylight or in a noisy scene, he would never hear the shouts of the other party.

But now it is night, in such an empty and silent scene, the penetration of the sound has been greatly improved, and the sound that reaches his ears is not loud, but it is very clear, and Zhen Bingliang has a feeling that this voice seems to be very familiar.

Why there is a familiar feeling he can't tell, but after making sure that the other party shouted for help, Zhen Bingliang was particularly glad for his initial decision.

Fortunately, the decision he made was to be cautious and strengthen his defenses, rather than shouting about the enemy attack and getting the whole battalion to follow suit.

If this enemy attack is shouted, not to mention anything else, if the Xiaoying camp really happens, Zhen Bingliang dares to bet that his head will definitely be hung above the gate after dawn.

Wiping a handful of cold sweat from his forehead and wiping his neck, Zhen Bingliang turned his gaze to his boss.

"General, do you ......?"

"Just follow your previous arrangement, strengthen your guard, hold your bow and don't fire, and after approaching thirty paces, if there is no change, immediately release the arrow, and there will be no mercy!"

In the face of Zhen Bingliang's inquiry, Tan Zhong only had this simple order, and after getting the affirmation of his own boss, Zhen Bingliang shouted the order while shifting his gaze back to the front.

Within a few moments of Tan Zhong conveying the order to Zhen Bingliang, the distance between the cavalry and the camp gate had been shortened to fifty or sixty paces.

With the help of the firelight in the camp, the outline of the other party's appearance in Zhen Bingliang's field of vision became clearer and clearer.

Although the distance of fifty or sixty steps was not enough for Zhen Bingliang to see the appearance of the opponent's cavalry clearly, from the cavalry's iconic Beidi attire, Zhen Bingliang could be sure that it was definitely his own Lu Dragoon who galloped over.

The iconic cavalry costume of the Lu Long Army, the direction from which they rushed from the northeast, coupled with this abnormal time of the night, Zhen Bingliang suspected that these guys who completely gave up the dignity of the Lu Long Army and shouted for help were most likely the first cavalry to be sent out after the raid.

The most important identity is judged, then everything else is clear at a glance.

What is the current situation of the 3,000 people who were sent to pursue the imperial cavalry Zhen Bingliang did not know, but he shouted for help, indicating that the cavalry squad of the Lu Long Army in front of him was pursued and hunted down.

Judging from the swaying silhouettes of the cavalry in front of him in his field of vision, and their performance of shouting for help at the top of their voices a hundred paces away, Zhen Bingliang could see that the other party's condition was not good.

Since it is being pursued, there must be pursuers behind this cavalry, and it is a huge risk to open the camp gate and help this Lu dragoon.

Rao was like this, considering that the estimated number of pursuing cavalry was actually not much, Zhen Bingliang still hoped to help them get out of trouble, at least hoping to provide them with the necessary cover to help them withdraw to the barracks.

Zhen Bingliang's expectations were good, but the orders of his own general, Tan Zhong, were equally clear and effective.

And Zhen Bingliang is very clear about the character and habits of his own general, as an old-school Tang Army general, his own general Tan Zhong is old-fashioned and strict, and the orders and decisions he makes are extremely difficult to change. ….

Although the commander who led the 150,000 Lulong army to the south was Pei Mingren, who was born in the side branch of the Pei clan in Hedong, it was this veteran who had the oldest qualifications, the most military merits, and the highest prestige in the Lulong army to which the Liu family belonged.

If it weren't for the killing of his brother and father that made Mr. Liu's heart weak, it would not have been Pei Mingren's turn to take charge of the handsome banner at all when the troops went south.

In Lu Longjun, unless the big boss Liu personally ordered, no one had the ability to make him change his mind, he didn't speak, he acted rashly, and there was only one result, his head was hanging from the beam, and the cone was piercing.

Yes, in addition to looking at Tan Zhong while looking ahead, there was nothing to do except be anxious, just when Zhen Bing's conscience was anxious, the voice came from the fleeing team in front again.

Compared with the first cry for help before, because the distance is too close, this time the voice is also extraordinarily clear.

"I'm a guerrilla

The cavalry battalion of the Xia Jing Cypriot Army is Guo Zheng!"

Hearing Guo Zheng's name, Zhen Bingliang's body was directly shocked, and even the armor on his body made a clicking sound, but then.

"For the sake of everyone from Youzhou and Hebei people, open the camp gate and pull the brothers!"

Zhen Bingliang not only knows Guo Zheng, but also understands Guo Zheng's character and personality.

Guo Zheng's crying and hoarse shout surprised Zhen Bingliang very much, and the last one pulled the brother, and Zhen Bingliang couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it.

Guo Zheng belongs to the kind of cautious, cautious, and observant, but very stubborn guy, with Zhen Bingliang's understanding of Guo Zheng, if he is unwilling, even if the knife holder is not soft on his neck.

In Zhen Bingliang's opinion, being able to force Guo Zheng to shout for help and shout out for his brother is obviously already forced into a desperate situation!

As Tan Zhong's confidant, Zhen Bingliang knows his generals very well, and Tan Zhong is also very familiar with his cronies, Zhen Bingliang's abnormality obviously can't escape Tan Zhong's eyes.

"Why, don't you know anyone?"

If it were normal times, Zhen Bingliang would definitely have to explain to Tan Zhong seriously, but in the current situation where every second counts, a few more explanations may be gone.

"Know!"

Hearing Zhen Bingliang's unhesitating answer, Tan Zhong nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, in Tan Zhong's eyes, it doesn't matter whether Zhen Bingliang knows someone or not, after all, Zhen Bingliang can judge that Tan Zhong, a veteran who has fought for decades, naturally won't fail to see it, and Tan Zhong's judgment is more accurate and faster than Zhen Bingliang.

There was no need to even observe, the moment he arrived at the camp gate, when he was sure that the cavalry of the brigade was coming, Tan Zhong knew that only the elite of Lu Long who could come at this point was the elite of Lu Long taken away by Chang Wanchao.

For Chang Wanchao, Tan Zhong's mood is very complicated.

Chang Wanchao, the guy who entered the military tent with his sister, is indeed not a thing, but the cavalry he brought out is elite.

More importantly, the 3,000 cavalry sent by Pei Mingren was not only a pursuit.

If it was just to chase the cavalry that attacked the camp, 3,000 elite cavalry would be enough, so why let yourself lead a full 30,000 elite troops eastward.

The so-called pursuit of the enemy, revenge, and elimination of hidden dangers are actually superficial reasons, and the fundamental reason is actually interests. ….

City warfare or urban offensive and defensive warfare is not easy to fight in any era.

In the era of cold weapons, the defending side with high walls and deep fortresses often occupied an absolute advantage in city warfare, and siege warfare became a situation that most soldiers tried to avoid, so there was the idea of Sun Tzu's Art of War, the first soldier to plan, the second to fight, the second to attack the army, and the next to attack the city.

Ordinary siege warfare is still like this, and if you want to capture the city of Bianzhou, which is high and deep, the soldiers are well fed, and the well-prepared Bianzhou City is a task close to the hell level.

Before Mo Lingjun's sneak attack, the combined forces of Wei Bo, Chengde, and Lulong attacked at any cost for three days, bringing thousands of casualties to the Xuanwu army that held Bianzhou City, which made Han Hong frightened.

It's just that the Xuanwu army that occupies the advantage of the city is still like this, and the casualties of the rebels in the three towns of Hebei as the besieging party are even more shocking, in less than three days, the casualties of the three towns have exceeded 10,000, although the casualties are shared by the three families, but the casualties of more than 1,000 people a day on average still make the three families shocked.

What's even worse is that this kind of high-intensity siege not only brought huge losses of personnel and materials, but also incalculable losses to morale.

Siege warfare is essentially a fight for consumption, and it is their own elite and heritage that are consumed, if these things are flattened, they will lose the capital to gain a foothold in the entire chaotic world.

If there is only one, you can enjoy the immeasurable benefits of Bianzhou City alone, and the attack can be maintained in front of you, but under the city are the intriguing and intriguing three-way rebels.

After the strong attack is unsustainable, the siege war will become a siege war, and the consumption brought by maintaining the army outside their own territory for a long time is enough to directly drag down the three towns of Hebei, and divide the land when the time comes

Fighting to feed the war will become an inevitable result.

Whether it is Zhang Shaozhang of Wei Bojun, Zhong Xianjun of Cheng Dejun, or Pei Mingren and Tan Zhong of Lu Longjun's side, they are all old women who are cunning guys, and they have long foreseen such an inevitable result.

Compared with the other two armies, Lu Long's army crossed the river for a short time, and did not have time to send scouts at all, compared with Wei Bo's army and Chengde's army, which arrived in advance, they did not grasp the actual situation around Bianzhou, nor did they demarcate the territory to be occupied in the future, so they were at an absolute disadvantage in the competition.

Although Mo Lingjun's sneak attack brought huge losses to Lu Longjun's army, from another aspect, it also gave Lu Longjun, who had suffered heavy losses, an opportunity to attack in advance in the name of revenge, shame, and eliminate the hidden danger of siege, obtain intelligence, master information, occupy territory, and obtain actual benefits.

The problem is that Lu Longjun's losses are real, and the excuse is even more justified, Zhang Shaozhang and Zhong Xianjun, the two old guys, know each other's intentions, but they have no reason to stop them.

It's just that everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder, so there are two families joining forces, and a family of 10,000 soldiers and horses accompanying them in the name of preventing Lu Longjun's lone army from going deep, and this is equivalent to limiting Pei Mingren and Tan Zhong's wishful thinking to nine times out of ten.

In short, these old foxes in this acre and three points of land under the city of Bianzhou will show intrigue and deceit to the fullest. ….

In this case, the value of the three thousand cavalry led by Chang Wanchao soared, and they were not only the main force of pursuit, but also the vanguard and scout of the army.

The news transmitted back from Chang Wanchao's department will become the basis for Pei Mingren and Tan Zhong to make follow-up decisions.

Obviously, he has arranged for his henchmen and elite personal soldiers to be on duty in the camp, why Tan Zhong does not go to rest but follows the patrol to inspect, is it not because Chang Wanchao has not returned for a long time, Tan Zhong has difficulty sleeping.

Since it had been determined that the comers were cavalry following Chang Wan's overshooting, Tan Zhong would naturally send someone to save them at all costs, even if it was followed by thousands of troops and horses, even if he risked the camp roaring!

It's just that there are obviously not many soldiers and horses in pursuit, and it is only three or five hundred horsemen, and it is definitely light cavalry that can achieve this kind of pursuit, and it cannot be heavy cavalry with the ability to charge into formation.

Although there are not many soldiers and horses at the camp gate, there are two or three hundred people, and there are all kinds of strong bows and crossbows, which have been prepared according to Zhen Bingliang's orders.

In this case, relying on the rejection of horses and the camp gate for defense, it is impossible for a few hundred light cavalry to climb to the sky no matter what, and this kind of small-scale battle naturally does not need Tan Zhong to command in person.

Tan Zhong knows Zhen Bingliang's character, ability and quality very well.

Strictly speaking, Zhen Bingliang is not a talented and handsome talent, nor is he a brave and fierce general, the reason why Tan Zhong regards him as his cronies and confidants is that he is diligent, practical, cautious and cautious.

It is precisely because of Zhen Bingliang's characteristics that Tan Zhong was unstable in the army, and the hungry wolf was on his side, for fear of accidents, he left him at an important post on duty at night.

Of course, the facts have also proved that he made the right choice, as far as tonight's situation is concerned, if it weren't for Zhen Bingliang on duty, if he was replaced by a guy who was not calm enough, then the entire camp would have become a mess of porridge by now.

Now, since the people sent back by Zhen Bingliang and Chang Wanchao are old, it is even more appropriate to hand them over to him directly, and then said.

"I'll leave it to you!"

Sure enough, hearing Tan Zhong's order, Zhen Bingliang was overjoyed,

Zhen Bingliang is a Tang Dynasty, seven or eight years older than Guo Zheng, who was born in the Khitan, and the experience of the two is not comparable with the positions in the army.

What really connects the two is the character, diligent, down-to-earth, cautious and cautious Zhen Bingliang is full of affection for Guo Zheng, who is also cautious and meticulous, but has different talents.

Now, now that he has the opportunity to save his best friend, Zhen Bingliang will naturally do his best.

As soon as the order was given, he immediately ordered the soldiers and horses at the camp gate to open the camp gate, and at the same time ordered the archers and crossbowmen to line up and prepare for the attack.

It's just that the speed of the cavalry is far from being comparable to that of the foot soldiers.

At the speed of the cavalry, the distance of a hundred paces would not exceed twenty breaths for the cavalry at most, and when Tan Zhong gave Zhen Bingliang authorization, Guo Zheng, who rushed to the front, was already less than fifty steps away from the camp gate.

Lu Longjun, who was at the camp gate, had done his best, and when Guo Zheng and a few others rushed to the camp gate, the camp gate could be opened, and the rejection horse that was blocking the camp gate was still in place.

Before leaving, Guo Zheng actually didn't understand why Mo Lingjun let himself choose again, and gave himself the opportunity to refuse.

However, when he came here, Guo Zheng finally knew why Mo Lingjun gave him the opportunity to refuse, especially after feeling the trembling of the war horse, Guo Zheng's sudden death was not enough to describe the danger in front of him.

The four-foot-tall rejection horse was so quietly blocked in front of him, and when he saw the rejection of the horse under the firelight, the war horse under the crotch instinctively wanted to stop, but after galloping all the way, the war horse whose physical strength was completely exhausted and his four legs were trembling, he really did not have enough strength to stop his steps.

With a frightened neigh, the war horse under Guo Zheng's crotch hit the four-foot-tall, thigh-thick rejection horse straight up, and in an instant, under the huge inertia, the war horse was directly divided into several pieces and flew out.

And Guo Zheng, who was on top of the war horse, was directly thrown out two feet high from the top of the war horse, and flew straight to the camp of Lu Longjun.

At the moment of flying in the air, Guo Zheng finally understood Mo Lingjun's last words to all the people who set off before leaving:

"As long as you can storm the camp of the Lu Long Army, no one can doubt your identity!"

"It's a ghost!" This is Guo Zheng's last sentence before he fell into a coma!
