Chapter 159: The East Strikes the West

Chen Da has been in Youzhou for many years, and the prestige of Erlong Mountain is brought out by him, hearing Zhang Shoulin's unstoppable praise of Fang Yun, his ambition suddenly rose, and he stared at Fang Yun before he charged, and wanted to compete with him.

Fang Yun also felt Chen Da's killing intent, and turned his horse to face him.

The two people who had never known each other were full of tacit understanding at this moment, and they rushed towards each other together.

Between the staggered horses, the two had already fought for three rounds, and the brief intersection of weapons between the two was muffled by other sounds, and when the two sides reined in their horses and turned around, Chen Da knew the gap between himself and the other party.

", this kid is awesome."

After Chen Da finished speaking, his eyes went dark, and he fell off the horse.

Zhang Shoulin hurriedly asked people to treat Chen Da, he looked at Fang Yun who was calm and calm opposite, and became even more determined to capture him alive.

"Catch it alive."

Fang Yun looked left and right, and found that he was the only one left, thinking of the task that Guo Duhu gave him before leaving, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Is this a feint on the part of the other side? 10,000 people were easily killed, if this is a feint, then what are they?

"Surrender, the prince will treat you preferentially."

Fang used his actions instead of answering, charging.

Zhang Shoulin waved his hand and asked Du Biao to lead someone forward to grab Fang Yun.

The large army roared up, this time using not spears, but ropes, which they learned from the falcon and others, and the Turks not only had great riding and archery skills, but also the noose skills they practiced when they were sheep were unparalleled in the world.

Several ropes were added, and Fang Yun was captured alive and thrown on the horse's back.

At this moment, a fast horse suddenly galloped over, Zhang Shoulin and the others looked back, the man saw Zhang Shoulin and the others from a distance, and shouted at them: "General Fang, the eastern capital is lost." ”

Zhang Shoulin and the others were overjoyed, the prince was the prince, and he took the eastern capital so quickly.

The person who delivered the letter got closer, and then he realized that something was wrong, and it didn't seem to be General Fang on the other side, they were all unfamiliar faces.

The messenger sensed that something was wrong, and he wanted to run away, but it was too late, Zhang Shoulin waved his hand, and the people below swarmed up and quickly grabbed the messenger.

The messenger was caught and didn't know who Zhang Shoulin was, and he was still shouting: "I was sent by Guo Duhu from the Eastern Capital, who are you?" ”

"Youzhou soldiers, you just said that the eastern capital was lost? Guo Duhu sent you to recall him? ”

The messenger was extremely surprised, didn't he say that this was a feint? Why are the Youzhou soldiers here? What about the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Capital? What about General Fang Yun?

A few small soldiers groped around the messenger and found a letter written by Guo Pengyun, which said that the eastern capital was lost, and asked Fang Yun to quickly resolve the battle, and if the enemy held on, he could give up and come back.

After reading the letter, Zhang Shoulin was happy at the same time, but also a little puzzled: "I said how to fight so easily, it turns out that the large army of the Eastern Capital is on the side of the Eastern Capital, which is different from the strategy booked by the prince, should we go to support the Eastern Capital now?" ”

Du Biao said: "I think we should send someone to ask the prince's opinion first, otherwise I should ask Liu Tingshi and Xie Beijia." ”

"You're talking about bringing someone back."

After Li Feng's coercion and temptation, many wealthy families in the eastern capital took refuge in Li Feng, and with their funding, Li Feng's food and salary problem was solved.

The 30,000 Turkic cavalry who followed Li Feng also saw the salary for the first time, and this form of fixed payment of silver made them extremely happy, and the sound of shouting and shouting was heard outside the city wall.

It's just that Li Feng is very painful, 30,000 people, ordinary soldiers are one or two taels of silver a month, and the captain, the captain, etc., increase in turn, until the top Ah Da Ah Er, Ah San, and three Wan Commanders, each of whom has two thousand taels.

And that's not even counting the usual consumption of eating horses, which is more than wages.

After reading the expenses of these 30,000 people, Li Feng couldn't help but sigh, no wonder they all said that the war was about money, but fortunately, he took the eastern capital, and he didn't have to worry about military salaries in the short term.

Outside the city wall, Guo Pengyun selected some clever people and prepared to let them sneak into the Eastern Capital quietly to contact the people inside.

Before the people set off, Guo Pengyun heard bursts of cheers coming from the eastern capital.

"What's going on inside?"

The generals looked at each other, but no one could answer, and a general who knew something about the Turks said: "The Turks are lively by nature and like to sing and dance. ”

No one believed this stupid excuse, but they couldn't think of any other reason either.

Guo Pengyun skipped this matter and explained the route to the selected people in detail, ensuring that they could quietly enter the Eastern Capital without being discovered.

After the matter was ordered, Guo Pengyun reorganized the team, and he wanted to carry out a feint attack to distract Li Feng's attention, so that these people could enter the Eastern Capital smoothly.

Li Feng on the city wall was still bargaining with the wealthy families in the eastern capital, and suddenly heard the noise of gongs and drums outside, and the sound of firecrackers, so he hurriedly got up to check, and saw Guo Pengyun lining up the team outside the city, and he himself was shirtless, standing on the wooden platform and beating the big drum.

"Lord Wang, they're going to attack."

Li Feng nodded: "The Turks are good at field warfare, I don't know how to defend the city?" A team of 1,000 people will come up first, and the others will wait below. With such a tall wall, I don't believe they can hit it. ”

Li Feng ordered them one by one, he was not worried that Guo Pengyun would be able to fight, he was worried about the follow-up soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

The Eastern Capital fell, and the imperial court would inevitably increase its troops after knowing it, and then he would have to face hundreds of thousands of troops, and he would stabilize the Eastern Capital internally, and the more people he could fight, the better, so as to stabilize the situation.

A thousand-strong Turkic team came up, and they were extremely excited when they had just received their salaries, and they wanted to go down and fight in person.

Li Feng, the person in command, handed it over to Ah Da, although Ah Da was beaten and couldn't move, so he could only lie on the Hu bed, but his excitement did not diminish at all.

For the sake of insurance, Li Feng also set aside 200 special forces on the city wall, ready to check and fill in the gaps at any time.

The drums were beating more and more intensely, and the soldiers of Guo's army advanced in a very orderly manner, with shield bearers in front, archers in the back, and ladders and rams in the back, and the siege equipment was extremely perfect.

This was not something they carried with them, but it was made urgently, which shows the excellence of the soldiers in the Eastern Capital, as well as the seriousness of Guo Pengyun's usual training.

As the team approached, Guo's army was about to enter the firing range, and the soldiers on the city wall had already drawn their bows and arrows.

Seeing that the battle was about to start, Guo Jun suddenly withdrew.

Ah Da on the city wall was stunned for a moment and scolded Guo Jun.

Li Feng looked at Zhen from behind: "A plan to disturb the enemy? Call Pang Ying over, he is familiar with Guo Pengyun's tactics. ”

Although Pang Ying surrendered, as a general who had just surrendered, Li Feng first asked him to go down to do some public security work, and when his sincerity was confirmed, Li Feng would give him military power.

Pang Ying was called up, and it happened that Guo Jun was beating drums outside to attack again.

After reading the whole process, Pang Ying pondered for a while: "General Guo does not leak anything, and he will not do useless work, I suspect that he is attacking the east and west." ”

"Striking the West?"

Li Feng suddenly realized: "In the city." ”
