Zuo Jianzhang's oath did not take much time, and the 2,000-strong army came out in an instant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There were passers-by along the way, and almost all of them were imprisoned. Although there is not much point in covering it up at this time, it is not harmful for everyone to let the rumors leak out a little more slowly.

Zuo Jianzhang had been planning for a long time, and the location where they set out was not far from the city, so the next afternoon, the army had already stopped under Pengcheng.

Although they were marching at a great speed, the news still came. At this moment, the gate of Pengcheng is closed, and there are people on the city, and it seems that there is already a guard.

The team under Zuo Jianzhang is all cavalry.

It's okay if it's a sneak attack, but now it's being guarded against, and it's too difficult to break the city at this time. What's more, this Pengcheng is still the capital of Jiangzhou, the city is high and deep, and there are all kinds of soldiers, horses, grain and grass.

The Chinese army is raised!

"Hate is only one step too late, so Peng Cheng is on guard. Zuo Chengwen said to Zuo Jianzhang: "It's just that the garrison outside Peng City should not have entered the city yet, as long as the garrison outside the city is eaten, under the prestige, the city may not dare to resist stubbornly." ”

When Zuo Chengwen spoke, everyone listened quietly. In Qu Mingde's opinion, although the sneak attack plan failed, everyone present was still very calm and did not show any nervousness, obviously, they had already prepared for this.

But think about it, Zuo Jianzhang is the overlord of Jiangzhou, and he is not a fool. He had been preparing for an unknown number of years, and it would be a joke if the rebels were only hoping for this one raid.

Thinking of this, Qu Mingde refused to speak even more, but listened carefully.

"Not bad. Zuo Jianzhang nodded at Zuo Chengwen, "But the most important thing is to levy people's husbands." Although we only have 2,000 people at the moment, it is not a small number of people who gather in one place to eat and chew horses, so we must gather the people outside the city. ”

In addition, regarding the garrison outside the city, it is also necessary to keep a good watch and not let them break into the city. ”

Zuo Jianzhang said this, and after a pause, he said: "Wen'er, I will give five hundred people, and I must block the comrades from the garrison outside the city from entering the city." The rest of the people dispersed to collect the people's grain and grass. ”

"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.

Regarding Zuo Jianzhang's approach, Qu Mingde felt a little strange.

Two thousand people, and it was still a cavalry army, under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to capture Pengcheng. The greatest hope is to annihilate the garrison outside the city in one go, as Zuo Chengwen said, so that the other party will surrender in a faint move.

It's just that the possibility of the other party making a faint move is also very small, in the final analysis, it is because the power here is too small, and it can't shake the determination of the city at all.

Like Zuo Jianzhang, not only did he not rush to attack the enemy, but instead scattered to collect grain and grass, it is really incomprehensible.

"Unless, this is just a vanguard force, and there is a large army behind it that has not felt it. Otherwise, no matter how Zuo Jianzhang looks at it, he is looking for death. ”

Qu Mingde thought about it again and again in his heart, and always felt that there seemed to be something he had forgotten, but in the end, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply left this idea behind.

"In any case, Zuo Jianzhang will not make this joke with the lives of his whole family, or wait and see how it gets better. Qu Mingde finally made up his mind.

Anyway, the worst outcome is just to escape. As a Jianghu man with unique skills, and he is unknown, it is not difficult to escape with his life.

When Qu Mingde was thinking about it, Zuo Chengwen had already picked up the people and sent someone to inform him that he was going to leave immediately.

To this day, Qu Mingde still has no place in this rebel system, he is more like a guest secretary and the like following Zuo Chengwen's side. Now that Zuo Chengwen wants to leave the camp to execute alone, he thinks that Qu Mingde certainly has to follow.

Everywhere the 500 of them went, it was all a rumor.

Don't look at the entire army of 2,000 people when attacking Pengcheng, it seems to be insignificant, but walking in the wilderness outside the city, the deterrent effect is still very high. Even if ordinary people see them, they should retreat.

The place where they moved to garrison was actually not too far, and it was only ten miles away from where they came.

The Great Zhou garrison outside Pengcheng was on the other side of the river, and the establishment was 5,000 people. If the empty pay is removed, it should be about 3,500 people. However, there was no cavalry over there, if it weren't for that, how could Zuo Jianzhang let Zuo Chengwen come with five hundred men and horses to block people.

Speaking of which, the Great Zhou has been peaceful for a long time, if it were a normal situation, this battalion would have been rotten long ago. However, because of the prosperity of martial arts in the world, a sergeant must have three points of cultivation if he wants to join the army, so the combat effectiveness of the army is actually not bad.

Therefore, even if the other party does not have cavalry, the time that Zuo Chengwen and the others can delay is very limited.

Now there are cavalry over there, which has a total of more than 2,000 people, and they dare not leave the barracks lightly. But tomorrow, that won't be the case.

"Brother Zuo, if the other party comes out in formation and marches slowly, I'm afraid it will be difficult for our five hundred people to break through the opponent's camp, right?" Qu Mingde and Zuo Chengwen looked at the other side across the river and said to Zuo Chengwen.

Although Qu Mingde is not familiar with military affairs, he also knows that the reason why the other party is shrinking now is only because in broad daylight, every move of both sides is seen very clearly, and it is too difficult to cross the river.

At present, Zuo Chengwen has asked his five hundred people to start supervising the construction of the camp by the people who came on the road, and the two of them have nothing to do for the time being, so they stand on the side and watch the garrison camp.

Zuo Chengwen listened to Qu Mingde's words, nodded and said, "That's true, that's why we have to block this only road so that they can't cross the river." When the camp is repaired, they will have difficulty crossing the river. ”

"However, we are too few in numbers to take the city. As long as the other party holds it firmly, do we dare to delay time with them?"

"Well, my father naturally has other arrangements. Zuo Chengwen said: "Brother Qu, don't worry." ”

When Zuo Chengwen talked about this, even if Qu Mingde had more doubts in his mind, he could only hold back and keep silent.

There were a lot of people they brought in, and they only built a small village for 500 people, so when the sun went down, everything was ready. ”

Qu Mingde glanced at the Zhou army camp on the other side, and then at Peng Cheng, who was not far behind them, and couldn't help but shake his head.

I don't know what Zuo Chengwen's so-called arrangement is, but now they are suffering from the enemy. If you're not careful, it's going to be over.
