The battle for the east gate of Zhengcheng lasted until the second half of the night, when it was over.

Both the offensive and defensive sides are exhausted.

Day 2.

The Five Route Bandit Army died down and reorganized their respective camps, while waiting for news from the city.

"Boom ......"

South Gate.

The gates slowly opened, the drawbridge fell, and a thousand cavalry swarmed out of it.

The man at the head was wearing heavy armor, holding a moon-covering knife, and the good horse under his crotch was even better, it was Guo Fan!

"Rush!"

With a roar, he rode forward, leading the crowd and riding his sword and horse straight to the enemy's formation.

"Shoot the arrows!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

The bandits apparently did not expect a cavalry attack at this time.

In a hurry, he didn't have time to make any more preparations, so he shouted for the archers to release arrows to stop the enemy.

"Huh!"

The arrows broke through the air and fell like rain.

This kind of offensive is fatal enough for others, but it is not a big threat to Guo Fan.

The moon covering knife waved lightly, and the knife technique of the subtle realm danced in the air.

It is like an invisible knife curtain, which not only protects the master himself, but also keeps the horse under his crotch unharmed.

"Da Da ......"

The speed of the horse was astonishing, and after several lunges, it was already close to the enemy.

"Kill!"

The enemy's swords and shields came out together, and many chains flew and entangled.

"Peng!"

In the loud noise, Guo Fan and a horse had already rushed into the enemy formation, and no one could defeat the long knife.

Before the chain could get close, it was cut off by the light of the sword.

Opened through the four serious insides and rushed to the blade, and it burst out with terrifying power.

The violent internal force made the blade tremble slightly, and every time something touched it, it would explode.

The rider rushed to the scene, and the head of the steel helmet was cut off by a long knife, and it was like a watermelon that exploded in an instant.

The sword flashed, the stumps flew, and the blood soared.

Guo Fan, who rushed into the bandit army, opened the unequaled mowing mode, one person and one horse, and brazenly broke through a thousand-person array.

As soon as the cavalry in the rear swarmed up, the already chaotic bandit army instantly collapsed and fled in all directions.

Rush to kill for a quarter of an hour, kill hundreds of enemies.

"Go back!"

Before the bandit army reorganized and surrounded from all directions, Guo Fan waved his hand and took the initiative to retreat to the city.

Afternoon.

North City Gate.

Three thousand elites rushed out again, and this time there were even a thousand heavily armored soldiers, and they smashed into the Maitreya sect.

"Kill!"

Guo Fan's eyes were full of trouble, the white tiger figure in his mind trembled slightly, and the power of his physical body seemed to be endless.

Riding alone, he turned into an evil demon in the world, and swept away the Maitreya sect before retreating to the city.

In this battle, nearly 1,000 enemies were killed!

For a time, the five-way bandit army did not care about attacking the city, and each of them held their camps, lest they face the official army and kill them.

"Unarmour the general!"

hurriedly returned to the main hall, and before he had time to wash off the blood stains on his body, someone stepped forward to help Guo Fan remove his armor.

At the same time, there was a cacophony from within.

"What's going on?"

Guo Fan frowned and strode towards the hall.

"General Liu. ”

When Xiahou Xian saw Guo Fan, his face immediately relaxed, and then he stretched out his hand to lead the few people beside him.

"This is General Ke, and these two are General Yu and General Mo. ”

The main hall was spacious, and in addition to Xiahou Xian's few people, there was also a group of people standing on the opposite side in full armor.

There are dozens of people!

The atmosphere in the stadium was somewhat solemn, as if the two sides were facing each other.

"Hmm. ”

Guo Fan nodded indifferently at Xiahou Xian and looked at the other side: "What's wrong?"

"General Liu. ”

On the other side, General Ke, who was no longer young, clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said coldly: "The general is brave, I admire him." But if you are asked to command the army of the North Road, I'm afraid that the qualifications are not enough, right?"

"Hmm......"

Guo Fan nodded: "So, you are here to seize power?"

His voice was not loud, and his expression did not change at all, but everyone in the audience subconsciously felt a chill in their hearts.

"General Liu. ”

The corners of General Ke's eyes twitched even more, and he paused before saying: "You are still young, you will have opportunities in the future, and you are inexperienced, I think the decision to take charge of the Northern Route Army is a bit hasty." ”

"Sloppy?"

Guo Fan lightly supported his chin with one hand and looked at the other party: "Then from Your Excellency's point of view, who should let the Northern Route Army decide, and how should it march next?"

"This ......"

General Ke's face froze.

He has the same official position as Guo Fan, so he naturally wants to be in charge of the Northern Route Army, but it is not easy to say this directly.

He doesn't say it, but someone else says it for him.

"The surname is Liu. ”

General Mo stepped forward and said coldly: "Some people say that the matter of Xiaofeng Lelou last night is not the same as what you said. ”

"We have reason to suspect that it was not an order from Lord Chang to put you in charge of the Northern Route Army!"

"Moreover, it is your own decision to raid the property of the wealthy merchants in the city, right?

"Not bad!"

Someone spoke, and General Ke was also much tougher, and nodded: "General Liu, you are brave and unparalleled, but you lack experience in marching, and we are not at ease when tens of thousands of troops are handed over to you." ”

"In my opinion. ”

He groaned slightly, and said, "Now that we have defended Zhengcheng, we don't have to do anything next, just wait for the support of the imperial court!"

"Oh!"

Guo Fan raised his eyebrows: "This general, if I don't do anything, won't I let the bandit army outside go to wreak havoc elsewhere?"

"The land of Yunzhou can be just our officers and soldiers. ”

"This ......"

General Ke's face changed slightly, and finally said, "It's better to do this than to take a risk." ”

"Understood. ”

Guo Fan nodded, and his face was indifferent and gently flicked away the blood stains on his shoulders.

"So, if I insist on raiding my house and sending troops, what are you going to do?"

"Don't you think about it!"

General Mo yelled: "The surname Liu, you fake military orders, raid your house and destroy the door, I would rather die than obey!"

"Good!"

Guo Fan nodded.

"Then you will die!"

"What?"

General Mo was stunned.

Before he could come back to his senses, he saw a big hand slap on his face, and his infinite strength fell on the top of his head.

"Peng!"

A huge head was actually pressed directly into the chest.

"Bold!"

General Ke's eyes widened, and the sword on his waist was instantly unsheathed: "The surname Liu, you dare to kill!"

"What about killing?"

Guo Fan's tiger eyes were furious, his body was approaching, he snatched the sword with his hand, and cut off his head with a sword.

Gollum......

General Ke's head rolled to the ground, and there was still disbelief in his eyes.

"General Ke!"

"General Mo!"

Both of them had their own pro-soldiers behind them, and when they saw this scene, their eyes roared and rushed up.

"Avenge the general!"

"Kill him!"

"Look for death!"

Guo Fan's eyes shrank, his body rushed forward, and the long sword turned into a death scythe in his hand, killing the vitality of more than ten people in an instant.

"Peng!"

The corpse fell to the ground, and the muffled sound echoed through the main hall.

And the rest of the people in the hall were all pale, and their eyes when they looked at Guo Fan were even more fearful.

"Humph!"

Guo Fan glanced at the audience and threw the long sword in his hand to the ground.

"Zheng!"

The sword sank a foot deep into the ground, leaving the hilt trembling slightly.

"From now on, the Northern Route Army will be in charge of me, who else will not accept it?"

“......”

The aftermath lingered, but no one responded.

"General. ”

I don't know when, Xiahou Xiancai said in a difficult voice: "If you do this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

He admired Guo Fan's bravery, but he was also afraid of Guo Fan's decisiveness.

But there are tens of thousands of officers and men in the army, and I am afraid that these alone will not convince everyone.

It is said that many generals in the hall at this time may be afraid of Guo Fan's methods at this time, and once they go back, they may not be able to drive Ruyi.

"Hmm. ”

Guo Fan glanced at him, slowly came to the middle of the main hall, and sat down in the main seat with a sweep of clothes.

"I understand what you're thinking. ”

He glanced at the audience, and all the generals bowed their heads, and no one dared to look at each other.

"I just got the news, so far today, 500,000 taels of silver have been confiscated from the mansion of a wealthy businessman!"

"Hiss......"

The breath of everyone in the audience suddenly stagnated, the atmosphere became restless, and many people's eyes were hot.

500,000 taels!

It's an amazing asset!

Guo Fan took in the changes in everyone's faces before he said: "These 500,000 taels, I plan to distribute them to the army first, what do you think?"

"General!"

Xiahou Xian raised his head suddenly.

The others also completely forgot about the corpses in the field, and looked at Guo Fan who was sitting in the middle with fanatical eyes.

"Is this true?"

"Nature is true. ”

Guo Fan chuckled: "The silver is in the back warehouse, you can go and get it later." It's just that I hope every officer and soldier can get this batch of silver!"

"That's fine!"

The generals nodded their heads again and again.

Even if you give each of your officers and soldiers a few taels of silver, one of them will loot a little less, and it will be a big windfall!

"That's good. ”

Guo Fan nodded and continued: "Follow me, the silver will not be less than a fraction, it will be more!"

"Moreover, with me, military merits will also be indispensable in the future, he swept away the Yunzhou rebels one day, which of you can't be promoted to the third level?"

“......”

Everyone in the audience breathed heavily.

Many people looked at each other, and they could see the excitement and fanaticism in each other's eyes.

Fight as a soldier.

Isn't it just a glorious and wealthy, high-ranking official?

And this, you can get it with the one in front of you.

On the contrary, it is General Ke, who has died, although he said it nicely, but he is all painting bread to satisfy his hunger.

This one, as soon as he made a move, was a real 500,000 taels of silver!

"The general's bravery, we all admire. ”

Xiahou Xian's face was full of excitement, and his hands clenched into fists: "Follow the general, I believe that it is only a matter of time to sweep away the bandits in Yunzhou." ”

"Not bad!"

A general stepped forward, knelt on the ground and shouted: "The last general, Liang Bo, is willing to follow the general's left and right, if there is a military order, don't dare to disobey!"

"The last general, Wang Gang......"

"The last general Liu Chengming ......"

"The last general Wei Yan ......"

"I am willing to follow the general, don't dare to disobey!"

"Good!"

Guo Fan smiled lightly and got up, holding his hands in a false position: "Everyone, please get up." ”

"Gongsun Yun!"

"The subordinates are here. ”

On the side of the main hall, Gongsun Yun stepped forward when he heard this.

"Take the generals to the apse, tap the lists of the various armies, distribute the silver taels, and by the way, gather the heavy armor elite soldiers of the various armies together. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen. ”

Guo Fan looked at His Highness: "Hand over the heavy armor soldiers, no problem, right?"

"This ......"

"No problem!"

"Absolutely!"

The entanglement on the faces of the generals did not hesitate too much, and they all responded and followed Gongsun Yun towards the apse.

In a short time, the main hall was empty.

"General, good means!"

Xiahou Xian didn't leave, he looked at Guo Fan with emotion in his eyes.

"Shocked the generals with thunderous means, and then won the hearts of the people with thick silver and meritorious deeds, and finally took back the elite heavy armor soldiers. ”

"The general is a good method, but Xiahou is too worried. ”

He was originally not optimistic about Guo Fan taking over the Northern Route Army, but he didn't want to, but after a while, the people's hearts were already available.

"It doesn't matter what means. ”

Guo Fan stood with his hands in his hands, his face was indifferent: "The important thing is that what I said is true, and it will definitely be available!"

"Definitely. ”

Xiahou was impressed and bowed.

"Xiahou is willing to follow the general and never rebel. ”

Kneel and beg for collections, recommended tickets, and rewards......

The collection has exceeded two thousand five!

Come on!!!

Rush!!!
