The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1246 How to fight this battle?
Gu Chengyu brought Ming Mo and the others to the gate tower, and showed the dental badge and official seal before they were able to go up the gate tower.

When the former Wang Baihu saw Gu Chengyu coming, he hurried forward to salute.

"Don't be too polite!" Gu Chengyu stepped forward and looked down.Seeing this, he couldn't help but look serious.

I saw that there was already a dense cloud below, and soldiers in armor were neatly arranged.And the person riding the tall horse at the forefront should be the general who attacked the city this time.

However, Gu Chengyu didn't know this person, and he didn't know who he was.But he saw the banner below, with the word "Gong" written on it.

Gu Chengyu turned around and looked at the archers on the tower, and asked in a deep voice, "How many troops do we have?"

Wang Baihu's face was a little pale, and his mouth was a little dry, "There are only [-] soldiers! This is because they were transferred from the border to guard the city temporarily because they heard that Prince Gong had rebelled."

Before, no one thought that Prince Gong's troops would come to plunder Wujun Mansion first, because Wujun Mansion was not the nearest prefecture to the border.

Gu Chengyu's heart sank when he heard this, there are too few, and the camp below is far more than [-].

But why did Prince Gong attack Wujun Mansion first?There is Fengqing Mansion and Zifeng Mansion in the middle. How did their troops bypass these two mansions?

With so many cavalry and soldiers, it was impossible to bypass these two prefectures quietly.

Fengqing Mansion is the fiefdom of Prince Jing, does Prince Jing know nothing about this matter?No, although Prince Jing may still be on his way to the fief at this moment, he must not be unaware.

Prince Jing's attitude was unclear, and Gu Chengyu felt that he must want to make trouble again.

As for why there is no news from Zifeng mansion, there is only one explanation, Zifeng mansion is the lair of King Gong.

After figuring this out, Gu Chengyu couldn't help but take a deep breath. Prince Gong is indeed a hero.The emperor valued Prince Gong because Prince Gong resembled him when he was young, ambitious, courageous, and strategic.

"How many people are there below? Do you have a count?" Gu Chengyu turned around and glanced at Wang Baihu. This young Baihu was quite courageous.

"At least [-]!" Wang Baihu frowned, a little anxious in his heart, wondering if the border gate would come to rescue in time.

twice as much?Gu Chengyu's brows were almost knotted, "Where is your upper peak? You are the only head of a hundred households here?"

It's not that Gu Chengyu looks down on Wang Baihu, but because a Baihu is not qualified to dispatch troops at all, and he doesn't have a token.

Moreover, the soldiers at the border generally only recognize generals and badges, without these two, it is impossible to mobilize the army.

"There was General Yuan guarding here before, but General Yen went to Yumen Pass a few days ago and said he would return in two days. I have counted his itinerary, and he will probably arrive today!"

"Yomo? Can you mobilize the army? Except for these archers on the tower, can you mobilize the army?"

Gu Chengyu's tone was a bit unkind, can the generals guarding the city leave at will?Isn't this cheating?
Wang Baihu blushed, he was worried about this before!

"cannot!"

"Except for him, there's no one in charge?" Gu Chengyu sighed, how will this battle be fought?Can I still fight?

Wang Baihu was speechless, General Yuan is not considered AWOL!It was General Ren who asked him to go back to discuss important matters.It's just that it's useless to say more at this moment, he doesn't have a token in his hand.

"Listen, people on the tower, we are King Gong's army, and this general is Liu Meng. If you want to surrender, you can open the city gate. This general once again promises that as long as you submit, this general will not Hurt your lives, everything is easy to say."

Liu Meng raised his head and looked at the flag fluttering in the wind on the tower. He was too far away, and he could only see rows of archers standing on the tower.There seemed to be two people in charge standing in the middle, but one of them was wrapped in a black cloak, and he didn't look like a general.

"Master Gu!" A panting voice came, and Gu Chengyu looked back, only to see Zhifu Qiu climbing up the tower, panting heavily, with his belly full.

"Lord Qiu, you've come, there's already a battle under the city gate!"

Prefect Qiu finally stood on the tower, he took a step forward and looked down, he couldn't help being startled.

"There are so many enemy troops?" Prefect Qiu swallowed.

"What? Your Wujun Manor is a coward, don't you dare to fight?" Liu Meng held his head high and glanced impatiently at the tower above.

"Who is this?" Qiu Zhifu asked Wang Baihu who was on the side, because his legs were weak, he could only paw on the tower.

"The head coach of the enemy army, Liu Meng!" Wang Baihu sighed, he was naturally familiar with this person.

"What is the origin of this person?" Ignoring the clamor below, Gu Chengyu looked at Wang Baihu.

"This man came from a reckless background, and he was a thug before. But he only robbed the caravan and did not hurt innocent people. He is very loyal, but his temper is very vulgar! However, he is very skilled!"

"Bandit?" Gu Chengyu recalled the bandit case before, and for some reason, he suddenly felt that this person had something to do with the bandit case.

Perhaps the gangster is just a temporary identity, this person should not be underestimated.

"General Yuan is back?" Qiu Zhifu's hand holding the city wall trembled a little, which made Wang Baihu's heart twitch.

"Not yet!" Wang Baihu didn't dare to show any worry, and let these soldiers see that they would definitely lose their morale.

If these soldiers know that no one can mobilize the army, then why fight?Where is the morale?
"However, it should be soon!" Wang Baihu prayed in his heart that General Yuan would come back soon.

"I said, you can't answer? If you don't answer, this general will order someone to attack the city!" Seeing that no one answered, Liu Meng's tone immediately became fierce.

Wang Baihu saw that the other party really lifted the thick long wooden stakes to the front. If the other party gave an order, these tree stakes would be sharp weapons for smashing the city gate.

"My lord, what should we do? Otherwise, we will act first." Wang Baihu still panicked after all. Who knows when General Yuan will come back?

"How can we fight against the enemy with such a small number of people? As soon as you shoot an arrow, you will be out of control. Wait, hold them back, and wait for the reinforcements to come!"

Qiu Zhifu hurriedly waved his hands. It is a fool's dream to stop one hundred thousand enemy troops with the more than 2000 archers on the tower.

The two were discussing countermeasures, but Gu Chengyu remained silent.He cast his sights on Zhifu Qiu. For some reason, he always felt that Zhifu Qiu's behavior was a bit inconsistent.

Although the other party seemed very anxious, it was all superficial.Looking carefully at the other person's eyes, he felt that the prefect Qiu didn't seem to be afraid.

Is this his illusion?Gu Chengyu was not sure, but he kept an eye on it.

The clamor left by the city continued, and just when the other party was impatient and wanted to raise his hand to give an order, Zhifu Qiu finally spoke out.

"You dare to disobey the imperial court. This is a serious crime to destroy the nine races! I advise you, if you retreat, I will definitely write to the imperial court and ask the emperor to give you a lighter sentence! There is the supervisory censor Mr. Gu to testify here. Never break your word!"
