Liu Wei arrived in Yangzhai very quickly.

This time the war was different from the past, Liu Wei did not go from city to city, but went straight to Yangzhai.

The convicts were all cavalry, and they were not suitable for siege.

Taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and taking the head straight is probably the only way to play.

"Your Majesty, Yang Zhai's scouts are very dense, and our army has encountered three waves today." Yinglin stepped forward and said.

Liu Wei was practicing archery, and when he heard this, he put down the crossbow in his hand and asked, "But Kong Ling has already discovered the whereabouts of our army?" ”

"Probably not." Yinglin said, "Our army has hidden its whereabouts all the way, and none of the scouts encountered by the former army have run away, and he should not have realized it." ”

Liu Wei took a deep look at Yinglin, "Learn from Zhang Ji in the future, and read more military books when you have nothing to do." ”

Yinglin was a little puzzled.

Liu Wei threw the crossbow to Zhao Ye and walked towards the camp tent, saying as he said, "The scouts who have dispersed have not returned for a long time, if Kong Ling is not a fool, he will definitely realize that the situation is wrong." ”

Yinglin was stunned, "Your Majesty, the humble position means that today, our army did not meet Yang Zhai scouts two days ago. ”

"Just today?" Liu Wei stopped and asked.

Yinglin nodded heavily, "Today, from noon to now, about thirty miles away, our army has encountered three waves of enemy scouts, and the strength is in the dozens. But no one escaped, and all of them were left behind. ”

Liu Wei understood what Yinglin meant, and couldn't help laughing, "In just half a day, thirty miles away, arranging such a dense number of scouts, Kong Ling is very careful about his life!" ”

"Send five hundred soldiers and horses out, wait for the sky to be dark, and raid Yang Zhai!" Liu Wei pondered for a moment and said, "The army pulled away and followed. ”

He thought that with only five hundred soldiers and horses, Kong Ling shouldn't be in his eyes, right?

It was dark, and it was usually when the gates of the cities were closed.

If you can take the opportunity to attack Yangzhai, there is already hope of victory in this battle.

If they can't break into the city, then these 500 people are bait.

"Yui!" Yinglin answered, and immediately went down to arrange the soldiers and horses.

……

Kong Ling is still recruiting Zhuang Yong.

After having the money, he recruited soldiers very loudly.

Yang Zhai went from inside the city to outside the city, but wherever there were people, he was the target of his recruitment.

As long as you can use weapons, he will not refuse to come, whether you are willing to join the army or not, a wisp of forced conscription.

Several gates of Yangzhai not only have mighty soldiers and horses coming in and out.

But Kong Ling tossed the money he got for several days in a row, and none of the copper plates were spent on the recruited brave man.

Even the grain and grass were provided by the gentry in the city.

It's also the only thing that costs soldiers.

Some of the money was used by Kong Ling to make weapons, and most of the other money was hidden in the cellar by him.

In the evening, the sunset is like blood.

Kong Ling and several staff members of the palace stood at the head of the city, looking at the mighty scene in the city, with a conceited smile on their faces.

"With more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, Yang Zhai will be impregnable!" Kong Ling smiled heartily.

Among his staff, there is a person named Qin An, who has many virtuous names in Yangzhai, and is a hermit who was invited out of the mountains by Kong Ling with a lot of money.

Qin An is not very old, he is a little unkempt, and he looks weak.

"Fujun, although the soldiers and horses are vast, but the humble side has only been watching for a long time, these soldiers seem to be unwilling?" Qin An asked.

Kong Ling suddenly sighed with a melancholy face: "How can the people be willing to fight? That is, the world is in turmoil, and they have no choice. I have a shallow background and don't have such a deep reputation, so they are naturally even more reluctant. But if you want to shelter Yangzhai and Yingchuan, how can it be done without soldiers and horses? ”

"Even if we are reluctant, we have to do it!"

Several other staff members were moved by Kong Ling's words.

"The prince of the palace is noble!"

"If all the princes in the world have such a mind as the king, how can the world be in chaos!"

"The righteousness of the prince is rare in the world, and it will definitely go down in history!"

……

Qin An listened to everyone's crazy praise of Kong Ling's stinky feet, and his brows were furrowed as if there was an extra vertical eye on his forehead.

He said in a loud voice: "I mean, if the soldiers are unwilling to fight, they have no military spirit to speak of, and they can defend the city, but they are unable to forge ahead!" ”

Kong Ling's face turned ugly, "You mean that I will still be defeated according to more than 10,000 soldiers?" ”

"Fujun, this is not the male lord, this is the rabble of the old and the young. When encountering a truly strong enemy, the enemy army only needs a few hundred, and it can kill our army to pieces. Qin An shook his head and said.

There was a dead silence all around.

Everyone looked at Qin An with wide eyes, their faces full of shock.

It's so brave!

Is he so not afraid of death?

在这顷刻之间，这几乎是所有人的共同想法。

Kong Ling's fat cheeks were gloomy for a moment, "Rabble, then how can you recruit elite soldiers?" ”

Qin An shook his head with a straight face, "Mansion Monarch, elite soldiers can't be recruited, so it will cost a lot of money and food to practice." But if the prince of the palace placed those teenagers and old people who could barely walk in the city, he might be able to win some of the hearts of the army. ”

"These brave men seem to be mighty, but they even resist being on an errand for the prince, so how can they fight? Isn't the prince afraid that they will suddenly give the prince a counterattack in the back? ”

A counterattack and a blow instantly lowered Kong Ling's anger by half.

He squinted his eyes, looked at Qin An unhappily and asked, "Will they still turn against me?" ”

"The army is uneasy, the people's hearts are moving, and a counterattack is their only way to survive." Qin An said.

Kong Ling's eyes flickered uncertainly, and he beckoned his subordinates, "Do as he says!" ”

When the general was leaving, he took a deep look at Qin An, and his eyes were a little resentful.

These people go out of the city to recruit brave people, and they can get real benefits from Kong Ling.

But if we lose those young men and old people, the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses will be reduced by several thousand.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy Attack !!"

At sunset, several horsemen galloped in, shouting loudly as they ran.

"What are they yelling about?" Kong Ling asked.

He could vaguely hear the scouts shouting, but he didn't fully hear them.

"Fujun, it seems to be an enemy attack...... "A staff member stretched his neck, listened attentively for a moment, and suddenly his face changed greatly.

"Quick, close the gates," Kong Ling yelled.

Although he still hadn't heard it clearly, Kong Ling didn't dare to be sloppy and hesitant at all.

The rumbling sound soon sounded on several city gates in Yangzhai.

Halfway through the door, a black spot appeared at the foot of the mountain.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves gradually became clear.

"Quick!" Kong Ling's eyes were slightly cold, and he shouted loudly again.

The black spots at the foot of the mountain gradually became larger, and those black armors were clearly visible.

"What flag?" Kong Ling couldn't see clearly, so he shouted loudly.

"Fujun, it seems to be ...... It seems to be a punishment. The staff with good eyesight shouted after looking at it for a long time.

"Punishment?" Kong Ling was a little stunned when she heard this, "Does Sun Jian and Zhang Xi have a general with the surname of punishment?" ”

Everyone shook their heads.

"Fu Jun, Sun Jian is more like a lone wolf, he doesn't seem to have a general under his command, right?" Someone said.

"Maybe it's new!"

"Impossible, how could the newly recruited Sun Jian rest assured that he would lead the army alone?"

"Yes, who could it be?"

When everyone was at a loss, the cavalry was already roaring forward.

This time, everyone saw clearly, and the word "punishment" on the banner was indeed a sentence.

The black flag and red letters look very deterrent.

Kong Ling also saw it clearly, but he was even more confused, "This cavalry seems to be good. ”

"What the prince said is a high opinion." Qin An said.

Kong Ling stared at Qin An viciously.

As the saying goes, when the superior is in a position, joy and anger are invisible, but this sentence is completely a negative teaching material for Kong Ling.

Not only is he moody, but he also changes his face quickly.

"Qin Zi'an, what do you mean by this?" Kong Ling shouted angrily.

If you see it, you will see it highly, why do you need to add a "yes"?

As soon as these two words are added, flattery instantly turns into ridicule and sarcasm? Kong Ling's ears are uncomfortable, and her face is also uncomfortable.

Qin An arched his hand, "It's a humble." ”

He said that he was rude, but he didn't look like he was bowing down and apologizing.

On the contrary, there is a gesture that you forced me to express.

Kong Ling suddenly had murderous intent in her heart, this arrogant puppet.

"If you misunderstand my army's heart again, I will kill you!" Kong Ling gritted her teeth and said.

If it weren't for the fact that the enemy soldiers were about to tear it down at this moment, he really wanted to hang this staff member who he had worked so hard to get directly on the city wall, so as to set an example and let everyone learn how to speak well.

"I just want to remind the prince that this cavalry is the real elite general." Qin An said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"The old man is not blind yet, so he can naturally see that they are an elite army, and I asked whose soldiers and horses they are?" Kong Ling suppressed the killing intent in his heart, and almost roared at Qin An.

"It's not Liu Biao, it's the imperial court." Qin An said lightly.

"How can you tell?" Kong Ling asked again.

"Hundreds of soldiers and horses are all in armor, but many people can do it, Sun Jian can, Liu Biao can too. But the prince had noticed the crossbow beside them and the weapons in their hands. With such a big sword, it seems that the lowly position is only heard of in the imperial army. In addition to the imperial court, it seems that Liu Biao is also sending people to supervise the construction. Qin An said very slowly.

Although the content of these words was very realistic, his tone still made Kong Ling unhappy.

"Imperial Court ...... The old man is now clearly working against the court, but I am also guarding the land for the court! Kong Ling's gaze changed gloomily a few times, "Come on, go out of the city and surrender, and leave them behind to Ben General." ”

"This is the city of the imperial court, and the old man is an official of the imperial court, how can they directly send troops to attack it? The emperor is trying to force his courtiers to rebel. ”

The two generals had just stepped forward to receive the order.

Qin An said quietly: "I still want to ask the prince to think twice, at this time, it is better to defend the city, not to take the initiative!" ”

Immediately, a staff member next to him teased: "Just hundreds of riders, you want the prince to stick to it behind closed doors, do you want the heroes of the world to look down on the king?" There are thousands of armored men in the city, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers, so why are you afraid of hundreds of people in this mere city? ”

These words made Kong Ling's momentum suddenly rise, and he just looked at Qin An coldly.

"But the prince of Fangcai Mansion also said that this cavalry is not bad, and its war is a long-term battle!" Qin An said indifferently.

"Even if they are soldiers for a long time, they are only hundreds. Cowardice before fighting is a taboo for soldiers. Someone shouted.

Qin An shrugged his shoulders, and after arching his hand, he silently retreated to the side, giving up and continuing to argue.

"Hu Jing!" Kong Ling glanced at Qin An coldly and shouted.

"The last general!"
