Chapter 582 Hard work, reinforcements

Zhang Zhuo almost broke through Tang Jun's defense with more than a dozen masters. Fortunately, the middle road sent horned dragon guards to reinforce them in time, and suppressed those masters back.

Yang Xuan turned back to Zhang Xu and said, "You take people to the left wing."

"Lang Jun can't be surrounded by guards!" Zhang Xu said.

"Wuda and the others are here, let's go!" Yang Xuan said.

Zhang Xu hesitated again and again.

"According to orders!"

Yang Xuan stern face.

Zhang Xu went up with people.

Wu Da said: "Master, don't worry, it's not that the villain is bragging. Now that the villain's subordinates join hands to kill the enemy, not to mention the number one in the world, the second is always there."

Wuda, this is a fault of bragging with someone who has learned to brag... Yang Xuan smiled.

On the opposite side, someone asked, "Maybe surprise Yang Gou?"

Wang Zhan shook his head, "Yang Gou still has thousands of riders behind him. No matter how sharp a player is, it is still useless to face the crushing of thousands of riders."

Zhang Zhuo knew that this was true, and his subordinates were still a little impatient.

If they were dragged back by the cavalry, those big men in Yanggou in the middle would have to flee for their lives when they returned to the army.

The two sides are constantly strangling.

The Tang army was able to penetrate the enemy's defenses from time to time, but the Tiger Control Department immediately squeezed the Tang army down again with the crowd tactics.

"Ming Jin!"

Tang Jun had a faint advantage, but it was not enough to defeat his opponent.

"Can't the cavalry come up?" Jiang He'er asked.

She was dressed in the robes of a civil servant, and she had pretty features. If she didn't know it, she thought that Boss Yang had some weird hobbies.

"Zhang Zhuo still holds the elite cavalry in his hand, the time is not enough."

Tang Jun retreated like a tide.

Wang Laoer was not convinced, "Give it another half an hour, and we will definitely be able to penetrate the enemy."

"Second brother!" Tu Chang stopped him and said, "The enemy's resilience is beyond expectations. Our army is far away and the number is small. At this time, the most fearful thing is to fall into a bitter battle without knowing it. Once you are defeated If the enemy seizes the opportunity to counterattack, they will be defeated in an instant."

Nan He nodded slightly, feeling that Tu Chang's family art of war was still interesting.

Lin Feibao's whole body turned red, as did most of the horned dragon guards behind him.

"The enemy army is very wild and quite excited."

"Bring some captives here." Yang Xuan felt that this was a bit strange.

Dozens of prisoners were captured today, and they all knelt in front of them.

"Let me go ask questions!" He Lianyan said, "Most of them have seen me."

"it is good!"

Back then, as a close friend of the emperor's uncle, He Lianyan often traveled between Tanzhou and the three major ministries, so she was quite familiar with these people.

"How did Zhang Zhuo arrange it?" He Lianyan asked a general question.

One of the captives spat at her.

Helianyan avoided it easily.

"killed."

She said without changing face.

There were sergeants around him who drew their knives and slashed and killed them.

The smell of blood rushed up.

He Lianyan asked again: "How did Zhang Zhuo arrange it?"

This time, someone spoke up.

"Miss Helian, Khan said that after this battle, the tax will be reduced by [-]%."

"Interesting!" Han Ji narrowed his eyes, "He didn't lose weight when he spread the rumors, but now he is reducing it because he wants to take advantage of the situation. This person is patient and has a good wrist!"

The prisoner opened his mouth, and the rest of them scrambled to speak.

"Khan ordered people to report to Tanzhou."

"Khan ordered Yu Shui to command..."

"In front of the king's tent, money is piled up like a mountain. The Khan said, if you win this battle, give me all the rewards!"

"Tax cuts, plus rewards, it's no wonder the enemy army is tough and indestructible today." Nan He looked solemn, "In this battle, the enemy must not be underestimated!"

Immediately Tang Jun retreated to the camp.

From Chenzhou to the Tiger Control Department, some tribes were destroyed and many cattle and sheep were captured.

"Have a good meal today!" Yang Xuan ordered, and the whole army cheered.

"Don't keep some?" He Lianyan said with a smile: "Anyway, there is still a day for the decisive battle."

"There is not much fodder for the army, and the tender grass on the ground is not enough to feed them. It is reasonable to eat it quickly while they are not thin."

Yang Xuan found a place to sit down and thumped his waist with his backhand.

He had sat on the horse for too long today, and his back was sore.

"Lang Jun's waist..." Jiang He'er looked surprised.

"What do you know?" He Lianyan smiled.

Jiang He'er said: "I remember that Aunt once said Aye, your waist is not good, so you should rest more. The gentleman saw that he was similar to Aye."

He Lianyan covered her mouth and suppressed a smile.

Yang Xuan said with a straight face: "Why is my waist bad? I have been sitting for a long time."

"It's not something to be ashamed of if you have a bad kidney." Jiang He'er said.

"What else did A Niang say?" Yang Xuan interrupted.

"Aniang also said that if she was sick, she would go to see her earlier, so as not to be delayed. Later, Aye went to see her. After taking medicine for several months, she lost her appetite."

"All right?"

Jiang He'er shook his head, "It's not good."

Poor man!

The scouts are back.

"My lord, the royal court is celebrating."

In the royal court, there are bonfires everywhere at the moment.

The herdsmen were released, and Zhang Zhuo ordered every family to distribute meat, so the smell of barbecue was everywhere.

"Today's battle made Yang Gou see the tenacity of my Tiger Control Department."

Outside Wang's tent, Zhang Zhuo was drinking with a group of leaders. He raised his glass and said, "This one is for the warriors!"

People toast.

"The second cup, I respect you!"

The atmosphere is lively.

Zhang Hao was on the outside, holding a piece of roast mutton and struggling to chew on it, with a bowl of wine in his hand.

"I control the tiger department, and I am not afraid of Yang Gou!"

someone shouted.

"Don't be afraid of Yang Gou!"

The royal court became a sea of ​​joy.

After eating the mutton, Zhang Hao quietly went back with a piece of barbecue.

"Sister."

Zhang Yue was sitting upright.

"Today, the two sides are tied, but there are few soldiers in Tang Dynasty, and the morale here is high with rewards. There will be a big battle tomorrow, so be careful!"

Chapter number hastily said, and left.

Looking at the barbecue, Zhang Yue thought of the rumor for no reason.

According to the rumors, Yang Gou is vicious, killing people without blinking an eye, even more brutal than Zhang Zhuo, otherwise how could he invent such a shocking thing as Jingguan.

This person not only made Jingguan, but also invented the vertical pole.Although she hadn't read it, but only after listening to the narration, Zhang Yue had an impression of Yang Xuan.

It must be full of beards and fierce eyes.

It was night, and Tang Jun's scouts still frequently harassed them.

In the early morning of the second day, the army assembled.

"Warriors who fought well yesterday, stand up!"

In front of the king's tent, Zhang Zhuo is wearing armor, majestic and majestic.

Dozens of soldiers came out.

"reward!"

Five hundred dollars per person.

A large string of copper coins is very heavy to carry.

Seeing the green eyes of everyone, Zhang Zhuo knew what was going on.

"Today's battle, the meritorious ones will still be rewarded!"

Someone nearby asked softly, "Why doesn't Khan boost morale?"

"How to encourage?"

"For the Tiger Control Department, protect your homeland."

The companion beside him sneered: "We are all people who make do with life, what about the Tiger Control Department, Khan is here, Khan is fierce, Khan holds a heavy army and can protect us, then it is the Tiger Control Department.

The Khan was weak, and everyone went their separate ways.

Those who are ambitious will kill Khan and take over the Ministry of Tigers, followed by another round of purge...

As for the homeland, who will rule us, not the ruler?
Even if Yang Gou broke the Tiger Control Department, he would still keep us to help him herd and fight for him.

So, if you have money, you have morale.No money, everyone went home. "

This is the law on the prairie.

The big tribes are formed by the collection of small tribes, and the army is what maintains the big tribes.If the leader holds the army and can protect everyone, then everyone regards him as the master.

The leader couldn't protect everyone, and then everyone betrayed their relatives.

What about faithfulness!
Zhang Zhuo dared not even dream about it.

Otherwise, how could he use cruelty to deter his followers?

"Tang Jun is here."

The second day of the war begins.

In today's battle, Tang Jun appeared to be more aggressive.

"Khan, after resting last night, Tang Jun recovered very quickly." Wang Zhan said, "I think you should be more cautious today!"

Before the words fell, a wave of Tang army commanders drove straight in, heading straight for the enemy general.

"The enemy will kill everyone!"

Amidst the cheers, the head flew behind.

The skinny elder took the head skillfully, and after checking it, he held it up high.

"Wan Sheng!"

The morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted.

"Increase troops!"

Zhang Zhuo said softly: "The strength of the Tang Army is beyond Ben Khan's expectations. Yang Gou really deserves his reputation!"

Wang Zhan nodded, worrying about affecting morale, he also lowered his voice, "Fifteen thousand, fifty thousand here, but Yang Gou is as calm and confident as holding a hundred thousand soldiers in his hands. This is not as good as the governors of Chenzhou. "

Yu Shui personally led a team of elites to drive Wang Laoer back.

"It's that maniac with the head."

He Xin said: "It is said that this person is a confidant of Yang Gou's confidant, and he will lead scouts to attack every battle to hunt for heads."

"Damn it!" Zhang Zhuo couldn't help cursing, "It was always us who hunted the heads of the Tang people, when did it turn around?"

"Look!" He Xin narrowed his eyes.

In the middle of the road, Lin Feibao rushed to the middle, blasted the head of the enemy general with a stick, kicked the banner down with a kick.

"Today is for the general, reinforcements!" Zhang Zhuo's face was livid, "Hurry up!"

He Xin rushed up with thousands of cavalry.

In a fight, the cavalry suffered heavy casualties, but successfully blocked the intruding Tang army.

The sun was setting to the west, Yang Xuan said: "Retreat."

Dangdang Dangdang!
Tang Jun retreated slowly, not forgetting to bring back the corpse of his comrade along the way.

"kill!"

A tiger rider who was playing dead was shot to death.

"Fix the knife!"

Nan He shouted.

Immediately, a spectacle appeared on the battlefield: those dead bodies jumped up suddenly and ran away, and some people even ran to Tang Jun's side in a panic.

More than a hundred tiger riders pretending to be dead broke the calm after the war.

Zhang Zhuo sneered, "Kill them all, and make the whole family slaves!"

"Yes!"

Those who fled back were executed in public, but they had good luck fleeing to the Tang army. Although they had to work hard as captives, they had food to eat, so they didn't have to worry about being killed.

However, whenever they saw that figure appear, they were still as fearful as a tiger.

"These people are afraid that Mr. Lang will turn them into Jingguan." Han Ji went to ask, and couldn't help laughing when he came back.

"busy now."

Yang Xuan said: "Zhang Zhuo's envoy should be arriving in Tanzhou soon, this battle will become more and more exciting."

Jiang He'er asked: "Isn't Mr. Lang worried about Tanzhou's reinforcements?"

"Worried! But isn't there you?"

"I?"

"A heroine who is famous all over the world, she can stop thousands of troops by herself! When the time comes, I will send you there."

……

The messenger arrived outside Tanzhou city in the middle of the night.

"A military emergency."

Messenger shouted from below the city, "Hurry up."

"Wait."

Unless it is an important event, the city gate cannot be opened at night.

He Lianrong was awakened from his sleep.

"Lang Jun! Lang Jun!"

The maid woke up He Lianrong.

He Lianrong's eyes froze for a moment, and asked, "Tiger Control Department?"

The maid nodded, "Yes, the envoy from the Tiger Control Department is here."

After He Lianrong put on his clothes, he walked slowly to the front.

"Lang Jun is so calm!"

The maids praised.

Only He Lianrong knew that this calmness was more for his subordinates to see.

When they arrived at the front yard, the envoy who was drinking water stood up and said, "Your envoy, Yang Dog is here."

"Ok!"

He Lianrong closed his eyes.

"Your Majesty!"

Xiao Manyan didn't get the news until later, and came wearing clothes.

He Lianrong nodded, "It is Yang Gou who is here. Where is it? How many troops?"

The messenger said: "It is said that there are more than ten thousand people."

Xiao Manyan asked: "Have you ever found a large group of people?"

Last time he was cheated. After waiting for a long time, Yang Gou attended the poetry meeting in Chenzhou, which made him very angry.If it wasn't for He Lianrong's order, he would definitely kill Zhang Zhuo with his backhand.

The envoy knelt down, kowtowed, and burst into tears, "Before departure, a tribal leader arrived and said that he was raided by Yang Dog's army in the middle of the night. He saw it clearly. It was the Yang character banner, and Yang Dog was on the banner, commanding calmly."

"Did the scouts from the Tiger Control Department ever see Yang Gou's army?" He Lianrong asked.

In the past, he would send reinforcements without saying a word.

But the last time Zhang Zhuo fooled him, Xiao Manyan led an army of [-] to attack, and Yang Gou didn't touch a single hair, but he spent a lot of food and grass.

Some people say that where the army eats is not eating.

This is wrong.

When the army travels, unless it can be replenished locally, the base camp has to continuously deliver food and grass.It's not just the army that eats. In many cases, the people and animals that supply the convoy are the most expensive.

Fortunately, the Tiger Control Department was not far from Tanzhou, but the journey was costly.If the distance is extended to Chenzhou, and the people on the way of transporting grain and grass eat horse chews, it will cause He Lianrong a headache for a long time.

Therefore, the war of overwhelming the country in this era is not so easy to fight.

If you lose, your vitality will be severely injured, and even the country will perish.

Winning is not much better. If there is no huge amount of seizures as compensation, the loss of troops will also make the victorious country cry without tears.

The messenger said: "Before the villain left, Tang Jun's scouts came."

He Lianrong pondered.

Xiao Manyan said: "Tang Jun's scouts are not enough to prove it." He said cautiously: "Is the leader who came to report the letter reliable?"

"Reliable!" The messenger swore.

He Lianrong closed his eyes.

If he made another trip in vain, Ning Xing would doubt his decision-making ability.

This was a major setback for He Lianrong who wanted to be promoted back to Ningxing.

But what if it is true?
Xiao Manyan didn't dare to speak up, and just waited for He Lianrong to think.

Half an hour later, He Lianrong, who seemed to be asleep, opened his eyes, "Send troops!"

When the sky was still dark, Xiao Manyan set off with an army of [-].

He Lianrong sent him outside the city gate, and told him: "Yang Gou uses sharp troops, you should be more cautious on this trip. When you arrive, if the Tiger Control Department is still there, you must attack Yang Gou without hesitation. Remember, Hit with all your might!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Manyan cupped his hands on the horse's back: "After Yang Gou is found, the lower officials will send someone back to report."

"Okay, if something goes wrong, the old man will lead the army to reinforce!"

"Yes!"

The army is gone.

He Lianrong stood outside the city gate, looked into the distance, and said lightly:
"This battle will determine the future of the grassland.

Zhang Zhuo is ruthless and cunning, and the [-] army is waiting to see how you break it.

Xiao Manyan led [-] elites to attack, under the attack of the two armies, can you resist?

The old man then sent troops to Chenzhou. What would the Chenzhou army, which had lost its main force, use to resist the old man's offensive? "

He turned around, slapped the side of the city gate, and beckoned.

An official stepped forward, "Your envoy!"

"Go, catch up with Xiao Manyan, and tell him. After this battle, kill Zhang Zhuo immediately!"
