"This is Yu Gan? We won't go the wrong way to Nanchang, right?" There was a lot of chattering in the ranks.

Tatehanako's face was ugly and he had the urge to kill, he turned his head, only to remember that the little leader sent to test him earlier followed Dong Qi to the north and died in the ambush circle.

"Who said this Yugan is a small county town?" I don't know which one is talking.

"It's a county town, and there are only 2,000 regiments in it, so what's there to be afraid of?" Someone finally hardened up, and Tatehanako turned her head to look at Tu Shan, who was speaking, and gave him an appreciative look.

This Tu Shan is the second son of Tu Zheng, the owner of Tujiawan Village, who is upright and dares to speak out.

Usually Tatehuazi always feels that this guy is against him, and he hates him a little, but he doesn't care about Tu Zheng's very deferential face since he was attached, who knows that today he opened his mouth at the right time and very appropriately.

Tatekako couldn't help but feel that it was a wise decision to appoint him as a lieutenant of the palace.

"Brother Tu Xian is right, the north side of this Yugan is low-lying, and the city is on a high place, so we seem to be looking up, but in fact, the city wall here is not much different from other places."

After saying this, Tatehanako's eyes suddenly narrowed, and she pointed at the castle with her horsewhip and asked, "Which of you has good eyesight and can see clearly, what is on the horse's face?"

Horse face refers to the enemy platform that protrudes outwards from the city wall. It can attack enemy siege troops from the flanks, and it can also use archers and other projection forces to form crossfire between two and two.

Everyone looked around, some said that the houses were being built, and some said that the wooden shelves were built to pull some heavy objects up to the city.

Tatehana shook her head suspiciously, this thing is not like a house, it is possible to say that it is to pull heavy objects to the city, but why is there it on every horse's face? Later, someone suddenly asked, could it be the catapult written in the book, which is a bit reliable.

But some people say that it should be very big for siege purposes, which is too small in comparison. There are different opinions for a while, and people don't know which one is right, but Tatehanako herself thinks it's more like a catapult, and she pays a little more attention to it.

They pointed and pointed at the city, and the soldiers were a little unhappy when they stood.

In those days, you had to carry with you dry rations, water, personal belongings (such as money that could not be left in the camp or entrusted to others), medicine to wrap up wounds, and weapons (such as knives, shields, spears, bows and arrows of archers).

If you don't have an entourage, you'll have to carry it yourself or wear armor, so being an infantryman is no joke.

Later literary works give people the misleading, as if a person can kill the enemy by stuffing him with a spear, which is not the scene of most serious battles.

The first thing that everyone thinks of in the Cold Soldier era is to wrap themselves, the tighter and more like a turtle, the better! What Li Dan saw from the telescope at this time was such a messy and chaotic scene.

Novices are those who have no armor at all, and those who are old bandits who use all kinds of cotton and linen cloth to make cloth and face armor (because there are women who do needlework for them).

There are also some women who have no women in order to respond to the situation temporarily, and string the sharpened bamboo pieces, the occasional iron or copper pieces and hang them on the important parts of the body to strengthen their courage.

The leader is easy to recognize, many of them wear light and protective leather armor (cows, horses, crocodiles, etc.) obtained from various sources, and if they have standard armor on their bodies, this person is either a leader of a higher status, or a powerful backbone who has been rewarded.

Then such a chaotic procession stood behind them as family members, and watched them judge the city wall, and their bodies were wet and heavy from the rain, and they could not help but be angry, and the discussion became louder and louder.

Until a voice asked aloud, "Hey, guys, do you want to fight or not?"

"That's it! What's the deal with throwing you here? If you don't fight, let's sit down and rest for a while!" The team screamed, accompanied by all sorts of strange screams, grimaces, and laughter.

There's no way, it's always been like this, and Katehana has long been used to it. He looked back impatiently and glared, and Tu Shan ran to the front of the team and shouted:

"Shut the fuck! I didn't see you so impatient when I was eating just now, and I'm not happy to stand at this time with just a stick of incense? It's not negotiable, the masters

How do you fight, what are you waiting for?"

"Master Tu, it's not that we're in a hurry, it's that this cloth armor is soaked, and it's uncomfortable to cover it!" There was an old bandit who had a good relationship with Tu Shan, and said tentatively:

"Please tell the bosses to hurry up, it's almost prickly heat here. We're not afraid of death, aren't we just going to that city? The big boss said something, Song Laohan will take the lead in the whole army!"

"Don't shout, do you know what the big boss is thinking?" Tu Shan looked back and said, "The big boss thinks a lot, he doesn't want you to die in vain, is he distressed that you understand? You have to know what to do!"

As soon as he said this, the team that had been shouting just now became less irritable and gradually quieted down.

Finally, Tatehanako made a decision, although the rain today was lighter than yesterday, but the ground was slippery and not conducive to the siege, and went back to rest, and arranged the siege on a more suitable day.

So the rear team changed to the front team and returned the same way, and the bandits did not have the momentum when they came back, the team was loose and saggy, and there were people laughing and playing in the queue, about happy to live one more day.

Li Dan and the others at the head of the city had been paying attention to each other's actions from the binoculars, and suddenly Li Dan turned around to leave. Yang Dayi grabbed his arm: "Where are you going?"

"Lead the horse, I'll go get a prisoner and come back." Li Dan instructed Brother Mao and replied.

"I'll go, you're a guard, how can you leave your post without permission!" After Yang Dayi finished speaking softly, he glared at Brother Mao angrily, so frightened that he shrunk his neck and dodged, and strode down the road himself.

He was the defense envoy from the north, so he called to open the city gate, and several gatekeepers rushed to the lower part of the horse wall to put the drawbridge, and Yang Dayi had ordered the whole team of two soldiers to go out of the city with him.

Yang carelessly did not wear armor, his head was a gray red tasseled felt hat, blue arrow sleeves, covered with a silver satin placket armor sent by Aunt Qian yesterday, and lifted his own chain flail, and the flower green horse under his crotch (Zao Liu'er gave it to Li Dan) "stepped on" across the suspension bridge on the moat (the north moat is the narrowest, only twenty steps wide, so there is a suspension bridge).

In the city, Fan Xianzun was in a hurry, this is the active duty of the official army, if there is a mistake, it will be a big blow to morale, he hurriedly looked for Li Dan: "Quick, send someone to cover, Yang Baihu can't be fine!"

Li Dan was about to speak, but he turned Liao Sanqing and Zhou Tu behind him, and said, "I am willing to go out of the city to help, and protect the hundred households!"

"Okay, please, both!" With Li Dan's permission, the two hurriedly got up and went down to the city, and Zhou Tu asked someone to lead a horse, and turned over on the horse to chase Yang Dayi.

Liao Sanqing took a shield, drew a knife in his hand and chased him out, he had martial arts, and his running speed was not much slower than Zhou Tu's horse.

Besides, before Yang Dayi left the city, he had ordered his own troops to suppress the formation for himself, and after leaving the city, he didn't care about the back, and galloped away all the way.

The two Shi soldiers were not novices, and immediately lined up four small golden flower arrays a hundred steps away from the suspension bridge under the leadership of Shi Chang and Wu Chang.

Zhou Tu rode out and crossed the crowd and shouted, "I'm going to pick up Lord Yang!" and overtook it.

Liao Sanqing arrived, stood in front of the formation, and shouted, "With Team Zhou, Lord Yang will be fine. I'm waiting here, if the enemy is chasing, we should protect Yang first, and enter the city on Tuesday, and there is no reason to escape in a panic!"

Seeing that it was Liao Zhongjun who was there in person, everyone knew that they must have been ordered by Li Dan, so their morale was high and they agreed in unison.

There were only more than two miles from Yuting to the north gate, and at this time the enemy army had already completed half of it. They giggled and laughed without hesitation, when suddenly they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them.

Some of them looked back, and when they saw a knight running before them, they exclaimed, "Enemy attack!" The last group was in a state of confusion and ran away in both directions.

As soon as there was a mess in the back, Tatehanako heard: "What's going on with the rear team, what are you shouting?"

Tu Shan happened to be nearby, he was the captain of the palace army, who was responsible for organizing the march of the team and arranging defense when retreating, when he heard this, he frowned, and immediately picked up his spear and roared at his subordinates:

"Stunned, follow me to the back!" After speaking, he took the lead and rushed in the direction of the sound. But when he arrived, he saw one of the leaders of the rear team being hit by a flail, and his body flew upside down a foot away. "Brave Rats rush into battle, leave your name!"

"Shandong Yang is here!" The big blue and white should be the offspring of the cross between the Ili horse and the Hetao horse, and it is very explosive after the sudden acceleration. Yang Dayi had already come to the front after shouting this, and he turned sideways to let go of the tip of the spear and carried it outward with a chain flail.

There was a "pop" sound, the spear shaft was pushed away, and the knock rod at the end of the flail rolled back, so frightened that Tu Shan hurriedly let go and dodged back.

In the staggered stirrup, Yang Dayi held the long handle in his right hand, twisted his body and relaxed his back, grabbed Tu Shan's back collar with his left hand, inhaled his lower abdomen and forced his waist to lift him from the ground and put him on the horse's back with one hand.

With his right hand, he hung up his weapon, drew his sword, and shouted, "Don't move for your life!" With a slight force on his legs, the horse understood his master's intentions, and turned around in a small circle to run towards Yugancheng.

Only then did the people come to their senses, and shouted and went around to stop the horse. Who knew that Zhou Tu arrived, fired three arrows in a row, shot down three enemies, and opened an opening to answer Yang Dayi's appearance.

The lake bandits were still not giving up, and they were chasing after them, when they suddenly saw a small formation in front, and the two horses went straight to the back of the formation.

Everyone watched the shield array close but no one dared to step forward, and saw this small array slowly retreat across the suspension bridge. The bridge slabs creaked up, and the gates closed. The crowd had no choice but to go home.

Li Dan had already summoned a hundred archers on the wall, and prepared the two catapults on the left and right of the city gate to attack.

Seeing the enemy retreating, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When they hurried down to the city to see, the three of them just arrived at the crossing of the horse to pay the order.

"Yang Baihu is worthy of the border army, it really opened the old man's eyes!" Fan Xianzun had already witnessed everything in the telescope, and he really felt that it was more thrilling than storytelling, and he couldn't help but stretch out his thumb and admire.

Then he praised Zhou Tu Shenjian and Liao Sanqing for being in danger, and the three of them were also full of excitement. After the praise, everyone remembered, "What about the captives?"

"Underneath the gates, the guy threw up a lot." Yang Baihu said. It turned out that Natu Shan grew up on the water since he was a child, and he was the first fetus on horseback, so he vomited a mess.

In fact, he was frightened when he was caught on the horse, and even if Yang carelessly didn't warn him, he still wouldn't move.

"What are you laughing at, you kind of try it on the boat!" Tu Shan's legs trembled and couldn't stand up, but his mouth was as hard as usual, but the onlookers laughed louder when they heard it.

"Hey, it's not tied, huh?" Everyone came to the city gate, and Zhao Jingzi said first when he saw it. The sentry commander looked back and immediately shouted, "Stand up!" Everyone "brushed" and stood up straight.

"Report sir, this guy has been throwing up since he was thrown to the ground, and we thought he was disgusting, so we didn't have time to tie him up. Besides, he can't move without being bound by his virtue." Sentry Chief's report.

"Careless, huh? Didn't you think he'd pretend?" Zhao Jingzi deliberately made a straight face to scare him.

The sentry was startled, but turned his head to look at it and grinned again, "It's not like this, isn't it?"

"It's better to be careful in the future, it's not a big mistake to be careful." Li Dan possessed and looked: "Yo, it's you."

"Huh?" Fan Xianzun was inexplicable: "San Lang knows this person?"

"No, Xianzun, isn't this the one who stood in front of them and spoke when the morale of the bandits in the city was sluggish just now?"

After Li Dan reminded him, several people looked carefully, but no, it seemed that he had left an impression on Li Dan.

"How do you know I'm talking?" Tu Shan himself was also surprised.

"You'll understand that later." Li Dan waved his hand and instructed Zhong Siqi, who was standing behind:

"Zhong Zhenfu, I'll leave it to you. Escort him to the Metropolitan Inspection Division for interrogation, first find clean clothes for him to change, and then drink some hot water to soothe his stomach!"

Accompanying Fan Xianzun back to the county office, Li Dan sat in the county zun's car and talked to him. This carriage is a four-wheeled vehicle that Li Dan asked Sanwen to modify for the county magistrate, the wheels are small in the front and large in the back, and the door on the side of the car is hung on the frame with springs.

It is both a gift and an attempt, but after Fan Xianzun sat on it and walked around the city a few times, Li Dan and Chen Gang had accumulated orders for more than forty vehicles. If it weren't for the war priority, this money would have been earned long ago.

"Why did Saburo suddenly want to capture the captives? It shouldn't have been a whim, right?"

Fan Xianzun asked with a smile, he was in a good mood today

Seeing that the morale of the lake bandits had been hit and his side had not suffered any losses, he knew that it was not difficult to keep the city.

"You can't hide anything from the boss's eyes!" Li Dan praised it first, and then told him that he saw that the opponent was defenseless, so he wanted to go out to capture the prisoner.

First, I want to hit the opponent to boost myself, and second, I want to take the opportunity to grab a tongue and understand the inside of the enemy. "But I really didn't expect Lord Yang to capture this guy." Li Dan said:

"Judging by his appearance, he should be very close to Tatehanako, and someone who knows him better, if he can make him speak, it should be much better than catching an ordinary soldier!"

"Hmm." Fan Xianzun nodded, and asked again, "Then do you know why Yang Dayi stopped you?"

Li Dan blushed and apologized: "The kid is still too young and impulsive, and he doesn't think about it!"

"You're young, impulsive, thoughtless, and more importantly, you don't put your duties first." Fan Xianzun criticized:

"It is said that you may not be used to the qi cultivation of the old people, but you can't help but admit that silence is necessary.

Why can Yang Baihu hold you? Because he's quietly watching you when you're eager to try. If you are quiet, you can see what other people are doing, you are moving, then it is very likely that you will not be able to see clearly. Do you understand?"

"Yes, juniors understand." Li Dan thanked him.

Fan Xianzun nodded with satisfaction: "Brother Dan, you have a long way to go, and your achievements will definitely far surpass those of us.

But our words are not entirely old and stupid, you have to learn to listen, to see, to remember, to think, and to learn that you can be quiet when others are moving.

Just like Yang Baihu today, there is stillness and movement, which is the ability that a talented person should have.

No matter what I say, you must try to learn it and remember that it will be of infinite benefit to you in the future!"

"Yes, the junior remembered!" Li Dan was both surprised and surprised. Today, Fan Xianzun let himself see another side of his county commander, the side that he may be careful to cover up and never want others to see.
