Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 834 Dispatched
On September [-]th, Zhu Youyu led his troops to the north of Zhongmu County and camped outside the city.

The south wind is blowing, but the city is still.

Zhu Youyu looked at the dilapidated Zhongmou County, and suddenly had an illusion: one day, Bianzhou will be so dilapidated, countless soldiers bravely climbed up, the sound of killing inside and outside the city was loud, and the fields were covered with fire and blood.

He suppressed these strange thoughts, stared hard at the sergeant running on the top of the wall, and ordered to set up camp.

The sergeants did everything numbly, just as they numbly watched Bianliang's strength weaken day by day.

Many people don't know why they still insist that Bianzhou is not their home, and they are not like the sergeants in Yun, Yan, Wei, and Qing towns. They have been passed down from father to son for hundreds of years, and they have eaten military meals from generation to generation, enjoying the lofty status and Rich rewards.

Maybe it's for the sake of money and food.

When a soldier eats food, he puts his head up and works hard, and the general gives him money, so he will fight hard.Could it be that someone else gave him a lot of money, so he turned his back on the spot?
Uh, it's not impossible.But how should I put it, doing this kind of thing can't be done with conscience, and people can't have no lower limit.Maybe the next generation of warriors will become unscrupulous, but they don't intend to do so.

The king of Liang can still give rewards, they can still support their families, they can still live on, and the knife can still be held firmly.

Cai Songyang wore the uniform of an ordinary sergeant, a Shu shirt, a hakama slave, and a forehead, with a bow tip and a horizontal knife pinned to his waist, and a rifle in his hand, looking carefully at the city.

According to the information learned by Liang Ren, he is still attacking jujube in Huazhou at this moment.He didn't want to take the initiative to show up and scare away the thieves who had finally recruited.

"Liang has a lot of thieves, [-] elite soldiers and [-] brave men, but it's still a bit short of taking Zhongmu with this number of people." Cai Songyang carefully inspected Liang Jun's camp from behind the female wall, and said.

There are [-] infantry and [-] cavalry in the city. If they guard well, even if people like Zhu Youyu break the city, they will have to pay a high price.

"Military envoy, what if the Liang people are unable to attack the city and turn around and leave?" someone asked.

"This is a problem." Cai Songyang retracted his gaze, and said: "Everyone respects the military order and is not allowed to go out of the city to fight, not even once. Putting on a defensive posture will make them feel that we are very scared."

In fact, most of the soldiers deployed at the top of the city are weak soldiers, and the strong men and women in the city have also been mobilized.Elite soldiers and strong generals are all hiding under the horse's face, ready to go to the city to support at any time.

If the Liang soldiers try to attack, they will find it not difficult to fight, and may break the hope of breaking the city.

There is no doubt that this is a trap.There is always hope to break the city, but they will never be able to break the city, until their escape routes are all cut off and they become turtles in an urn.

"It's a pity not to go out of the city to fight."

"Defending the city is the most annoying thing. It's better to go to the field and fight to the death."

"Can these strong men and strong women do it? If they are defeated and let the bandit soldiers go to the top of the city, and we don't have time to chase them down, wouldn't that be self-defeating?"

"Let me tell you, so what if the Liang thieves occupy Zhongmou? It's better to leave an empty city for them. At that time, Zhu Youyu will be even more reluctant to run away, and they will be surrounded to death."

The generals were chattering and laughing.

"Shut up." Cai Songyang reprimanded and emphasized again: "Do not go out of the city to fight in the field. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy."

"Obey." Everyone restrained their smiles and responded in a low voice.

There is a risk of going out of the city to fight, that is, you may be captured by thieves. Once the torture equipment is installed, you can't survive or die, so why not recruit anything?

After Zhu Youyu learned the information, he was afraid that he would retreat immediately. With the more than [-] soldiers in Zhongmou City, he might not be able to leave a few thieves behind.

"Be alert at night, don't let people touch it and not know it." Cai Songyang gave another order, and went down to the top of the city.

******
The hazy moon emerged from the clouds, the orange light flooded the earth, and the vegetation was covered with a layer of phosphorescence.

The air is a bit humid, and the soil mixed with dew has an indescribable smell.

Qian Dalang hid in the grass, not daring to be born.

God is sorry, he just came out to steal a sheep, why did so many people come to arrest him?

Team after team of sergeants, endless, all over the mountains and plains.

They were wearing brown military uniforms, with their left hands resting on the handles of their knives, while their right hands were swinging back and forth, their feet were moving extremely fast, and they walked far away in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it! How many soldiers are there? Why isn't it over yet?" Qian Dalang scolded endlessly in his heart, but he lay down in the grass and didn't dare to move.

A mosquito landed on his neck, sucking blood happily, Qian Dalang endured it silently, sighing inwardly.

The carriage rattled by.

The car was full of all kinds of miscellaneous materials.Qian Dalang had also fought in battle, and he knew at a glance that they were arrows, grain, spears, bowstrings and other things.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Qian Dalang thought silently: "When I was not a deserter, I went to Neihuang to attack Wei soldiers. I marched forty miles in one night, you should hurry up!"

But there were too many people, which made Qian Dalang almost collapse.

Have to pass 1 people?Why isn't it over yet?It seems that there is a second and a third "ten thousand".

Who the hell is this, stabbing the thief's lair?Recruit so many soldiers!Or is Zhu Quanzhong just ahead, and hundreds of thousands of Xia thieves rushed over to catch someone to receive the reward?
After the convoy passed, another group of cavalry came.

The riders were leading the horses without looking sideways.No one spoke, and the atmosphere was solemn.

For some reason, Qian Dalang recalled that when he was chatting in the army, someone talked about Anlu Mountain patrolling Tian Chengsi's barracks at night. Stand still in the heavy snow.An Lushan roll call according to the book, not a few.

When these Xia soldiers marched, no one complained, no one spoke, and the troops were tidy and calm.At first glance, it looks like an old warrior who has been fighting all the year round. It is common for the sky to be full of wind and sand, and eating ice and snow. Marching late at night is simply a piece of cake.

For some reason, Qian Dalang suddenly wanted to cry.

The leader of the team died, and he fled.Hiding so far, it is difficult to return home, not to mention drinking and eating meat, even the meal is not the next meal.I really want to eat meat. Only after eating meat can I gain strength and see at night.

Qian Dalang looked down at the lamb in his arms, moved his body quietly, and wanted to slowly crawl into the woods behind.Unexpectedly, at this moment, several large hands like iron pincers appeared on his arms and shoulders, holding him tightly.

"I'll see how long you can bear it, good boy, lying here in the middle of the night, not moving, it's amazing." Someone laughed.

broken!Caught by Rangers!Qian Dalang was so frightened that the souls of the dead trembled, begging for mercy repeatedly.

Wang Jianji, the envoy of Youyi of the Tianxiong Army, rode by on a horse. After hearing the sergeant's report, he laughed loudly: "The sheep thief is too unlucky. Ask him where the stockade is and call everyone over. If you can Playing before the battle may not be a way out."

After all, he clamped the horse's belly and went forward again.

The walking cavalry looked at Wang Jianji enviously.Officers have many horses, not to mention war horses, there is more than one riding horse, unlike them, they have to lead horses on foot.

"General Wang." Li Lin, the envoy of the soldiers and horses in the left wing, also led his horse on foot. When he saw Wang Jianji approaching from a distance, he immediately saluted.

"Sometimes I really envy you, isn't it the second time to fight the long straight army?" Wang Jianji said with a smile as he got off his horse.

"The Kou Yanqing who beat him last time, this time he beat Zhu Youyu, he must not be forgiven lightly." Li Lin said calmly.

He remembered the battle in the south of Luoyang.

The fighting was so fierce, the enemy was really tough, with less than 7000 people, half of them were killed or injured before they surrendered.If Kou Yanqing hadn't died and Hu Zhen had escaped, there might still be more beatings.

It was the first time for the Tianxiong Army of the Department of Martial Arts to encounter such a strong opponent. I don't know how many high-spirited students died in the snowstorm in Luoyang.

They could have been ten generals, commanders, soldiers and horses, and military envoys, but everything was over, and their lives were frozen in that cold night.

"This time, settle accounts with Chang Zhijun." Li Lin subconsciously stroked the handle of the knife with his left hand.

A mighty army of [-] days, with high morale and high spirits, who in this world can defeat them?The Changzhi Army can't do it, and the Tielin Army and Wuwei Army are only assigned to carry shoes for them.

Kill kill kill, kill him to roll his head, kill the heroism of a warrior, and create a peaceful world.

******
Outside Weishi County, the siege continued at night.

More than 1 Jianrui Army and Zhongwu Army, with [-] Chen Xu men, rushed to the city wall without risking their lives.

Hot golden juice dripped down the wall, and the screams of the siege soldiers almost resounded through the night sky.

Zhang Yun couldn't bear it, and stopped talking.

Guo Shaobin's face was stern, and he ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows, knocking down a group of retreating soldiers to the ground.

"General Zhang, it's not that I'm cruel." Guo Shaobin sighed, and said, "Let me ask you, after the Xuzhou battle, King Xia captured more than [-] soldiers, how many surrendered troops can keep their ranks and troops? "

"Just Tingzidu, Youguo Army and our Jianrui Army." Zhang Yun replied.

"Isn't that right?" Guo Shaobin said: "If we can have this ending, let's have some fun. So far, Ge Congzhou, Zhang Shensi, Kang Yanxiao, Dai Siyuan and other surrendered generals, is there any one who can lead the army? We still have The army still has the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. After making military exploits, it is unknown whether the Jiedu envoy will be released to the outside world. Even if the Jiedu envoy cannot be appointed, what about the governor and defense envoy? Dinghui is already the governor of Qizhou, so we should also encourage him Of."

Ding Hui was originally a Jiedu envoy, but he was an official of the "former dynasty" and was not counted.The defense envoy is a position in the "New Dynasty", which is full of gold.The Central Plains is full of troubles, and the defense envoy is the same as the governor. If the military and government are caught, they are the local emperors. Strictly speaking, they are much stronger than the famous Jiedu envoy.

"The military envoy is right. I know it too, but this battle was too miserable. It may not be enough to make up for the [-] people from Mazhi," Zhang Jun sighed.

Cong Mazhi was a soldier and horse temporarily recruited by Qi Bizhang in Bozhou and Suzhou.After the Feilong Army returned to Anyi, Cong Mazhi was incorporated into the Xuzhou Camp and became a de facto supplementary soldier.

"Don't think too much. King Xia said, let's fight as much as you die." Guo Shaobin said: "You better prepare hay and horse feed quickly, and I will take charge here."

"Alright." Zhang Yun nodded.

Hay and beans are for the cavalry.They will arrive at the camp in two days, but they are not here to help in the battle, but to the north in the direction of Bianzhou.

Zhang Yun knew in his heart that the more than [-] iron cavalry were a tyrannical force, and Zhezong couldn't let them go.It could only be an order issued by King Xia himself to transfer these arrogant uncles away.

He thought for a while, and he probably understood their goal: Either go to Suanzao and cooperate with the siege army to encircle and rescue the city; or go to Zhongmou and Bajiao Town, waiting for an opportunity to surprise the Liang army who came out of the city to rescue them, just like they defeated Zhu Youlun in Weishi and beheaded them. Like more than three thousand levels.

Big things are happening up north!Could it be that the "Forbidden Army" came up?Zhang Yun suddenly felt that the Xialiang War might be coming to an end.After resting, the main force of the Xia army was about to launch the last wave of offensive against the Liang army. If Zhu Quanzhong was defeated, he might have to completely retreat back to Biancheng, and his destruction would be instant.
