"What, how did the army of the imperial court come over so quickly, and it has only been a few days?"

Zhao Li was so frightened that he couldn't even hold the bowl in his hand.

Bang, it fell to the ground and shattered.

Li Mu was also very surprised, according to his estimate, it would take at least ten days for the imperial court division to kill, but only three or five days have passed, and the troops have already arrived in the city, which is not fast.

As the so-called soldier is fast, the fast marching speed can not only catch the opponent off guard, but also save a lot of food and grass consumption.

Under Liu Zhong's leadership, thousands of men and horses led the army to Xingyang in just a few days.

"Chief Zhao doesn't need to panic, even if the imperial army comes, what can we do? We have already occupied Xingyang City, and the imperial court only has 7,000 soldiers and horses, as long as we don't defend to the death, they can't help us. ”

Li Mu is a person who can rebel, and he also knows some art of war, not exactly a straw bag.

"There is a reason for this"

Li Mu nodded and said, "Why don't I wait and see who the enemy general is." ”

The two of them led a group of small heads to inspect the city wall at present.

At this time, in the camp, Liu Zhong and He Miao had differences in the camp.

"General He, I think we should attack the city immediately at this time, I think the Xingyang city wall is not too tall, and the enemy must not have expected us to lead the troops so quickly, if we attack the city immediately, we will definitely be able to catch the other party off guard. ”

"Captain Liu's words are wrong, I think you are still young, you should know the art of war, we have marched all the way to come, the soldiers are tired, if the siege is now it will definitely be bad for the morale of the soldiers, according to what I see, you should rest for two hours before attacking the city. ”

After He Miao finished speaking, he ordered to set up camp and rest in place, this rush made him hungry and dizzy, where is there any strength to attack the city, of course, it is to rest first.

Liu Zhong frowned, he knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, he couldn't change He Miao's decision, not to mention that he was right, he was deputy, He Miao didn't have to listen to him, although he was annoyed that he missed the best opportunity to break the city, but he was helpless.

Liu Zhong had no choice but to suggest like He Miao: "General, when attacking the city, we should encircle three queyi, although we don't bring too many soldiers and horses, but we should divide the troops into two ways, you attack the west city gate, I attack the south city gate, so that we can not only disperse the enemy's forces defending the city, but also form a horn to take care of each other, what do you think?"

He Miao thought about it for a while, then nodded and agreed: "Then according to what you say, I will give you 3,000 men and horses, and you will go to the south city gate to set up camp, but remember not to act rashly, otherwise I will ask you about the loss of soldiers and horses." ”

"Yes. ”

Liu Zhong took 3,000 soldiers and horses to the south city gate to set up camp.

Looking at Liu Zhong's leaving, He Miao couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Hmph, I really don't know what the Son of Heaven is thinking, I actually arranged a hairy boy to assist me, let him take some of the men and horses alone, if the siege is not good, you can also shift the responsibility to him." ”

Liu Zhong actually knew that He Miao looked down on him at a young age, but he didn't explain too much, but Xu Zhu on the side was indignant.

"Bah, He Miao, what kind of dog thing, dare to look down on us, I really want to screw his head off!" Xu Zhu was angry when he remembered He Miao's contemptuous eyes just now.

Wang Xiaoer also nodded in agreement: "Zhendong, He Miao doesn't have much skill but thinks very highly of himself, I guess he just wants to send us away when he gives soldiers and horses, and he may have other ideas." ”

"Amount"

Liu Zhong couldn't help but glance at Wang Xiaoer, he didn't expect this guy to have such insight, as a reckless leader of the Yellow Turban Thieves, it was also a lot of progress to be able to say such things.

Liu Zhong was not angry, and said with a smile: "He Miao has no ability, relying on the general He Jin to get to where he is today, he is a person who can't get on the stage, and we don't have to worry so much about him." ”

"I know what he thinks, but I'm not going to give him a chance. ”

"Zhendong, why don't I go and ask for the soldiers and horses in his hand, if he doesn't want to, don't blame me for being unkind!

Xu Zhu is still angry in his heart, this guy is very reckless, but no matter what military regulations, as long as he is unhappy, he will do it.

"Zhongkang must not be"

"Although He Miao despised us, he didn't give us any manpower, he gave us three thousand, which was not bad for us, and the discord between the generals and commanders before the battle was not conducive to the war, and I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will be punished in the future, the most important thing in front of us is not to argue with He Miao, but to quickly capture Xingyang. ”

"Zhongkang, Boss Zhendong is right, we can't act impulsively. Wang Xiaoer grabbed Xu Zhu, although his martial arts skills are not high, but after a period of precipitation, he has calmed down much more.

"Alright, let's attack the city at once, I'll make the charge, and I'll be the first to climb the wall. "When it comes to charging into battle, attacking the city, and Chi Chi, Xu Zhu can be said to be the best of the best.

"Zhongkang doesn't have to be in a hurry, naturally there is a time for you to perform"

Liu Zhong shook his head with a smile, glanced at the city wall, and continued:

"The city wall of Xingyang is not tall, and the enemy does not have many soldiers and horses, all of them are untrained soldiers, or even just the people who have just put down their hoes.

And now that I think about it, the other party has been prepared, we only have 3,000 soldiers and horses in our hands, and He Miao will not cooperate, so forcing the city now will not only not be able to break through, but will also waste the lives of the soldiers in vain. ”

"Then what should we do?" Xu Zhu is only good at fighting, and he only knows a little about military strategy.

"Hehe, we should do this" Liu Zhong said his strategy in the ears of Xu Zhu and Wang Wu, and after Wang Wu heard it, he felt that it was feasible, so he immediately ordered the manpower.

At this time, Li Mu, Zhao Li and others were inspecting the West City Gate, and they were all relieved to see that He Miao did not attack the city immediately.

The imperial army came too quickly, they were not prepared, and now they hurriedly arranged people to defend the city wall, if He Miao had already begun to attack the city, they would definitely be caught off guard.

On the city wall, Zhao Li saw that the armor of the enemy's soldiers and horses was bright, and he couldn't help but envy: "It is worthy of being the master of the imperial court, you look at the weapons and armor, it is really much better than us, I really envy us." ”

"Leader Zhao don't worry, after we defeat them, their weapons and armor will be ours. ”

For weapons and armor, not only Zhao Li, but even Li Mu was greedy.

After inspecting the west gate, everyone walked to the south gate, but they were only halfway through the road when they heard a burst of shouting and scolding.

"What's going on, how can it be so noisy?" Li Mu and Zhao Li glanced at each other, neither of them knew what was going on, and they didn't hear it clearly until they reached the south city gate, so angry that they were about to vomit blood.

"Li Mu, Zhao Li, you two shrunken turtles, you only dare to shrink in the city, do you dare to come out and fight with me for three hundred rounds!"

"Zhao Li, I heard that you don't dare to go to the thatched house alone at night, and you dare to go only if someone accompanies you, hahahaha, you cowardly dog thief, you dare to gather people to rebel, I think you still fall into the thatched pit and drown. ”

Liu Zhong arranged for the soldiers to take turns scolding. Li Mu and Zhao Li, and the words they said were all taught by him personally, these swear words were funny and annoying, and the soldiers were too happy to scold.

Zhao Li immediately became angry when he heard someone scolding him like this, hurriedly ran to the south city gate, and shouted: "Shameless thieves, Lao Tzu is going to break your corpses into ten thousand pieces." ”

"What, isn't it right to scold you? You are not a shameless thief, and we are waiting for the army of the court to come to crusade against you. Li Yuan rode out on a tall horse, with a playful face.

"Hmph, too lazy to talk nonsense, you yellow-mouthed kid is full of nonsense, it's just bullshit, report your name to General Ben, I'm going to eat you alive!" Zhao Li couldn't wait to jump off the city wall and kill Liu Zhong immediately.

"Hehe, your little master won't change his name or sit down or change his surname, Liu Zhong, Liu Zhendong is also, I want your little master's life, you call my little master here, you have the ability to take it!" Liu Zhong raised the cold jade spear in his hand and shook it at Zhao Li above the city, and laughed loudly.

"Okay, ignorant boy, you wait for me! General Ben will come to take your life. After Zhao Li finished speaking, he wanted to get on the horse and kill Liu Zhong and teach Liu Zhong a lesson.

Li Muzhi was quite calm, and hurriedly pulled him and said: "Leader Zhao, don't be impulsive, don't fall for that kid's trick to lure the enemy, if you go out of the city to fight with him, they will definitely wait for the opportunity to break through the city gate, if you really go down, you will fall for his trick." ”

When Zhao Li heard Li Mu say this, he calmed down a lot, and he hesitated about whether to go out of the city.

Seeing this, Liu Zhong immediately said loudly: "Haha, Zhao Li thief, are you really afraid of me, master, I heard that your wife ran away with someone and brought you a green hat, you are not only a green-haired turtle, but also a cowardly coward." ”

"Hahaha. ”

All the soldiers laughed loudly, and even the people on Zhao Li's side couldn't help but snicker, Liu Zhong's words were really full of firepower, as long as it was a man, he couldn't help it.

What's more, Liu Zhong is not wrong at all, his wife's surname is Ma, her name is Rong, and she is a romantic and sexual woman.

A few days ago, while he was busy trying to gather people everywhere to conspire with him, the horseman had an affair with the housekeeper at home and ran away.

"Liu Zhong'er is really deceitful too much, and he really annoys me. You wait for me, I'll go get your head now!" Zhao Li no longer ignored Li Mu's persuasion, and led all the people down to the city to fight with Liu Zhong.
