Fengxiang, known as "Yong" in ancient times, was originally named Qizhou. In that year, the eastern part of the country was in turmoil, and Yu Chao Tianzi took refuge in the west, and was stationed in this place. The meaning was changed to Fengxiang.

Butter torches were lit on the tall city walls, and soldiers in battle suits pinched their spears and watched in the distance as a dragon-like procession marched along Weishui in the south.

Thief.

And sure enough, they came.

The sergeants swallowed nervously, the sound of trumpets and bangs in the city rang out, and the cries of the various divisions were incessant.

Crossbowmen, spearmen, and sword players, according to their respective formations, gathered under the orders of the officers, walked up to the city walls, and watched the fire dragon of the south wind its way to the east.

The left capital of the Fengxiang army made Su Che stand on the city wall, and the moonlight shone on his iron armor, reflecting the cold light. Behind him was a row of officers of the Fengxiang Army, and the silence was like a sponge that sucked away all the sounds, leaving only nervousness and fear.

In the southern sky, a fire dragon broke out of the Tubo people's brigade and forced it straight in the direction of Fengxiang City.

"The thieves brigade marched east at night, and its intention was to Baiyujing. Behind Su Che, a chubby officer said.

"Looking at the number of thieves raising fires, there are at least more than 20,000 people. Another officer added.

Excluding vacancies and nominally military affiliations, the real number of troops that Fengxiang's army can use is probably about six or seven thousand, and only three-quarters of these people can go into battle.

"There are about three or four thousand of them?" said Su Che with a frown.

The general saw the subtlety. "Yes, it looks like there are only three or four thousand, and the thieves are powerless to attack the city. ”

The siege of the city requires all kinds of equipment, and the Tibetan control of the Hexi Longyou and the Western Regions, and there are many craftsmen for them to drive, and the siege of the city is not technically a problem for the Tibetans.

In fact, there are probably only two ways to siege the city, one is to use the masters who are proficient in martial arts in the army to form an assault team, take advantage of the enemy's reaction, suddenly rush to the enemy's city, and use ropes or light skills to climb the city.

But this method is enough to bully the enemy who is poorly defended and does not have enough troops in the city. Once the enemy's strength is about the same as your own, your few elites will fall into the siege of the opponent.

If these elites with high martial arts are damaged, it will not only damage the morale of the army, but also the strength of the army.

The other is to use the superiority of troops and siege equipment to fight a dumb battle at a glance.

The number of Tubo troops who came was not enough to form an advantage over Fengxiang City, and it seemed that there would be no craftsmen or anything like that. These officers are also old soldiers, so they naturally know that these thieves are here to spy on their side.

As for those main forces, it seems that they probably attacked Bai Yujing.

"General Su, it's dark at night, let's stay here, we don't have to wake up the envoy first. The chubby general of the Fengxiang Army winked at Su Che.

Su Che Junxiu's face didn't have any expression, but he just held the Thousand Bull Treasure Knife on his waist tighter.

He naturally knew what these officers were thinking, but Su Che didn't say much, just looked at the Tubo army that was gradually approaching Fengxiang, and the little fires burning in the distance.

It was thieves plundering the village.

Fengxiang Jiedu made Han Rui stand in the festival hall, and the guards stood beside him, putting on heavy armor for him, and the willow-like iron leaves were worn by cowhide ropes, and they were braided together layer by layer.

Han Rui lowered his head, and the exhaled breath pulled a white line in the air through the beard on his lips.

The soldiers and horses of the right capital of the Fengxiang army have already finished putting on the voice, standing aside and watching the Shangshu of the Ministry of Inspection, the Fengxiang Army Festival Envoy, and the Longyou Degree Camp Field Envoy slowly put on their armor.

"There are no less than 30,000 thieves, day and night, and now the brigade has passed Baoji. Mo said softly: "Please make your defense strategy early." ”

Han Rui is usually not good at words, solemn and self-controlled, and his joy and anger are invisible. A battle-hardened mid-level officer like Mo Yusheng is also very careful when he speaks.

Han Rui frowned, took his sword from the hand of the guard sergeant beside him, paused for a moment, and walked out of the city.

"Let Fengxiang Mansion Yin and Zhixian go to the enemy tower at the south gate to see me. ”

Han Rui commanded, then turned his head and asked Mo Xusheng, "How is the military heart?"

"There is more than enough to defend the city, and I am afraid that there will be a mutiny in the wilderness. ”

Mo Yusheng did not hide it, and Han Rui should also know these situations.

It's not a day or two since the feudal town was arrogant. Regardless of the Hebei Domain, which is like an enemy country, it is a Guannei Domain Town like the Fengxiang Army, which is as difficult to control as a soldier, and there is another layer of contradiction inside, that is, the contradiction between the central officer and the local officer.

The strength of Guanzhong can probably be divided into forbidden army systems such as the Shence Army and Tianwei Army, as well as local forces such as the Fengxiang Army and Shuofang Army.

According to the usual practice, the officers of the Shence Army were treated favorably by their fathers-in-law, and they were promoted quickly, and as long as the gifts were enough, they could also go to the Fengxiang Army and the Shuofang Army to mix up the knots.

Naturally, these airborne cadres are in the way of the grassroots officers in the original system, and it is inevitable that there will be a clear distinction between the upper and lower levels, and each will pull the mountain.

Han Rui has just taken office, and he has not yet trained the Fengxiang army, so it should be no problem for them to defend the city now, if the light troops go out of the city and fight with the Tubo people, most of these people will make trouble.

"Rhondarma is really picky. Han Rui sighed.

This Tibetan Zampu can't be underestimated. Now both Bai Yujing and Feng Xiang are at odds with each other, and they take advantage of this time to come over and knock on the stick. If nothing else, this luck and the ability to capture fighters are extremely strong.

"It's okay, my subordinates have a plan. Mo Yusheng pinched the Thousand Bull Treasure Knife in his hand. "If I don't go to the mountain, I can let the mountain come to me. ”

Mo Yusheng and Su Che were both generals who were given a thousand cattle swords by the emperor and had the right to perform. has long been firmly tied to the emperor, and the news of the emperor's killing of Cheng Qili came a few days ago, and Mo Yusheng also pulled Su Che to drink bitterly for the bright future of the brothers.

Let the Tubo people run to the Baiyujing City so swaggeringly, and in the future, when it comes to merits and demerits, the two of them will not be able to explain.

"Light warfare. Mo said in a low voice: "There are many thieves and horses, and morale is strong. They have suffered a loss, and they will definitely divide their forces to attack the city"

"We're going to defend the city. Han Rui sneered.

There are more Tubo people here in Fengxiang, and the pressure on Bai Yujing's side is less. His Majesty and Li Congxian will naturally have more room to flicker and move.

However, in the light war, where do the soldiers come from, and how can they win with outnumbered people, they can bring the Tubo people over. Mo Yusheng and Han Rui didn't say anything, because there was no need to say much about these at all.

Under the enemy tower at the south gate of Fengxiang City, a group of officers in helmets and armor stopped a general wearing dark armor, crying hoarsely.

"General Su, there are many thieves and I am outnumbered, and it is absolutely impossible to fight in the wilderness. ”

"Soldiers and horses make the body of an adult's daughter, how can they be thrown lightly. ”

"Master Su think about it carefully, the thief is not a good ......"

Su Che turned over and got on his horse, this sturdy river Huangjian horse was covered with a thick felt blanket, two holes were dug in the felt blanket, only two eyes were exposed, on the high bridge saddle on the horse's back, the victory hook hung on the horse lance, there was an iron shovel on each side of the saddle, and there were many white feather arrows in the quiver behind the saddle.

Forty or fifty soldiers each led their horses and stood at the south gate, their equipment was about the same as Su Che's, and when they watched Su Che turn over and get on his horse, they also turned over and got on his horse.

"Stop howling. Su Che's whip shook slightly, "Give Ben the general to open the south gate." ”

"Lao Tzu is going out to meet these fans. ”

Su Che watched as the sergeant of the Fengxiang Army slowly opened the south gate and took a sip.

"Let's ride suddenly, but we don't have the crying and crying girls like you. ”
