Chapter 139
There was a sudden loud sound of gongs overhead in Feihu County.

Gao Chu, who was leaning against the city wall and having a good dream, suddenly woke up.

He, who had been through battle for a long time, jumped up from the ground with a flick of his body, and said cursingly: "Those dead prisoners are so impatient, are they here to die?"

Gao Chu neatly put on the uneven armor, grabbed a step bow in his hand, and climbed up to the top of the city in a few steps.

"High brigade rate, the enemy army in the east of the city is Wang Xuba of the Puppet Yan."

Gao Chu waved his hand and said, "Understood, order the brothers to keep quiet."

Gao Chu went up to the city wall, and from a distance, there was a mass of thieves, gathered like ants, and there were [-] to [-] soldiers.

A few flags in the bandits had the word Dayan written on them, and one could tell at a glance that it was Wang Xuba, a pseudonym for self-reliance.

Seeing the opponent's momentum, I saw the soldiers on the side of the parapet, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, they all bit the wood chips, and their bodies were trembling.

On the other hand, the city guards prepared grass balls and braziers and put them on again.

Gao Chu glanced at the densely packed enemy army, and then thought about the less than two regiments of county soldiers in the lower city, and more than 3000 civilians, he couldn't help but sighed.

"Did you notify Chengxian Cheng? Does he know that the puppet Yan army is coming again?"

"Reporting to Lvshi, Cheng County Prime Minister... He said that everything will be handled by Gao Lvshi, but the four doors of his house are closed, and the family members are closely guarded."

Gao Chu snorted, and said with a sneer: "What a fool, he is still shrunk in the turtle shell at this time, does he think that after the city is broken, the puppet Yan army will let him have a family?"

"High brigade rate, there are hundreds of armored cavalry in the south of the city requesting to enter the city!"

"Reinforcements?" Gao Chu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, wondering if there is any reinforcements at this time.

The governor of Zhuojun, Guo Xuan, who guards Hedong, is leading an army to attack the traitors Gao Shida and Dou Jiande, while Taiyuan stays behind Li Yuan, and Fan Zigai, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is leading an army to crusade against the traitors Jing Pantuo and Chai Baochang in Jiangjun.

Zhuo County and Taiyuan County can't count on it, so there are no other people.

Gao Chu gritted his teeth suddenly, and cursed loudly: "Damn it, it must be the thieves who tricked the city gate into opening. These thieves even managed to get even the armored cavalry of the officers and soldiers."
He was shut down in the city.

Annoyed, Er Tuo rode his horse to Li Chongjiu's side, and said, "General, it's just such a broken city. Let's attack directly. It doesn't take much effort."

Li Chongjiu glanced at the forehead, feeling that he really lost face in front of these people.

The majestic ruler of a county was turned away by himself.Behind him is the flag of the chief mate 'Da Sui Shanggu Tongshou Li', can't you see it on the top of the city?
At this time, Li Chongjiu also saw the dust rising in the distance, obviously at least ten thousand thieves attacked the city.

However, Li Chongjiu and the others showed no fear. Two hundred armored riders, one man and three horses, were enough for them to evacuate before the city was surrounded.

It's just that once they left, this dilapidated Feihu County might not be able to withstand the onslaught of thieves.

Li Chongjiu saw that these thieves came from afar, although there were many of them, they didn't have any rules at all.

Now this group of thieves is swarming across the river.

Right now, the tributary of the Juma River is not yet frozen, but because it is winter, the water is not abundant, so it can be crossed.

The rogues in gray sackcloth waded across the river with crude weapons.

The thieves who crossed the river obviously came from afar, squatting half-squat by the river without discipline, gulping water and wiping their faces with a look of extreme thirst.

I really don't understand the art of war, don't these thieves know what it means to attack halfway?
Li Chongjiu glanced at them from a distance, and saw that the row of thieves crossing the river was messy, none of them wore armor, they simply wore turbans on their heads, and the ones holding bamboo spears and wooden sticks were all very rough, obviously they couldn't be more mobs.

He said to Ertuo: "You can take a brigade and charge against the thieves, and you can count it as a vote!"

Hearing the color change at the moment, Eituo clasped his fists and said loudly: "Yes."

Immediately, he ordered his subordinates to put on bright light armor, and then made a whistle to kill the thief.

Li Chongjiu was determined to watch the formation, and the hundred cavalry regiment led by Er Tuo directly killed the bandit army.

The cavalry came quickly.

Seeing that Er Tuo led the army to kill, the thousand or so thieves who had just crossed the river were obviously caught off guard.There was a lot of noise at the moment, and the dust was in chaos.

At present, the brave one among the thousands of thieves reluctantly stepped forward, while the rest retreated and reluctantly set up their positions.

Seeing the sudden cavalry group approaching, the thieves cheered up their courage one after another, picked up their short bows together, and shot with hunting bows.

The range of this short bow hunting bow is not only short, but also has no penetrating power.

Hundreds of cavalry were armed to the teeth, and none of them fell off their horses.

Er Tuo laughed loudly, and when the hundred riders rushed close, they drew their bows together on the horse.

Hundreds of Jiaqixi Han people were all proficient in riding and shooting, and they were all equipped with a unified nine-dou bow. Although the bow strength was very weak, it was still stronger than the short bow hunting bow.

Hundreds of horses and hundreds of arrows shot together.

How could the thieves in rough linen clothes resist the sudden arrows, they all screamed in pain.

In this way, the current arrangements of the thieves are all brave and brave. If these people fail, the momentum of the entire thieves will completely decline.

After being hit by this round of arrow rain, the bandits collapsed and scattered in all directions.

Ertuo and their cavalry immediately raised their Sui sabers, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, they entered the formation and slashed and killed the thieves.

"It's a fan! It's a fan!"

In just a moment, the Guoqianliu thieves were completely defeated and were killed by Erto's cavalry, laying dead everywhere.
Immediately, the remaining hundreds of rogues by the river bank all surrendered, while the remaining tens of thousands of rogues stood on the bank of the river in fear, watching the sudden appearance of this group of armored cavalry, horrified, but no one dared to take a step across the river .

Really vulnerable.The other hundred cavalry who hadn't played yet couldn't help but think so.

Li Chongjiu immediately drove his horse forward for more than ten steps, and shouted to the top of the city: "I am the general guard of Shanggu County in the Sui Dynasty, and I will lead the army to help. You should open the city gate soon!"

Hearing Li Chongjiu yelling, there was commotion on the top of the city.

At this time, a person who looked like a general shouted: "General, we have not heard the imperial court's order, saying that Tong Shou is here."

Li Chongjiu shouted: "Fool, why don't I just submit to the court's orders now?"

Gao Chu on the side obviously also knew the situation here, he had just seen this army defeating thousands of thieves in one go, and he was a little bit sure at the bottom of his heart.

Seeing the enemy army on the other side of the river, Gao Chu was about to move again, and tried to cross the river again, and immediately shouted: "Open the city gate for me."

"Brigade rate, this is against Cheng Xiancheng's intention." A team member said in the foreword.

"I can't control it, there are so many," Gao Chu shouted loudly holding an iron knife, "Open the city gate for me."

"Yes."

Immediately issue the order.

In a small county like Feihu County, there is no need to talk about moats or suspension bridges, just two gates, buzzing open at once.

When Li Chongjiu saw it, he waved his hand and said, "Go to the city."

At present, one of the two hundred armored riders is not broken, and five or six hundred surrendered thieves are escorted into the city.

"The humble job has seen the general!"

Gao Chu was wearing armor, and looked at Li Chongjiu anxiously.

Li Chongjiu glanced at the other party, and said: "It was you who ordered the city gate not to be opened just now?"

Hearing Li Chongjiu's light reprimand, cold sweat oozes from Gao Chu's forehead. When the enemy army approached, he rejected the head of a county, which is a crime that can be beheaded.

"You bastard, you actually turned Tong Shou out, are you dying? Put me in prison."

While talking, a man in his 40s wearing an official robe strode forward, followed by several guards.

After finishing speaking, Li Chongjiu looked at this man with a look of resentment, being dragged down by the wolf-like guards.

As soon as the county magistrate came in front of Li Chongjiu, he changed his expression and said, "I heard that the champion Hou Gao was promoted to Shanggu Tongshou, and the people of Hejun are all looking forward to it. Oh, damn it, I am Cheng Chong, the county magistrate of Feihu County."

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "Zanfu is being polite, how dare you ask the county magistrate and other officials?"

Cheng Chong forced a laugh and said, "Mingfu is already dead."

"What's going on?" Li Chongjiu asked immediately.

Cheng Chong said: "Two months ago, Lin County was besieged, and the magistrate of the county took the lead to rescue [-] soldiers from the county. Since then, there has been no news. Until a few days later, this king thief came to the city with the head of the Ming Mansion. Siege."

Li Chongjiu shook his head, thinking that even the honor of a county has died, and it will not be easy for the city to hold on to this moment.

Li Chongjiu said immediately: "It's a pity that Mingfu sacrificed his life for the country, but in this critical situation, Zanfu is able to keep this city intact. It is really a dry city of the country. I should ask the emperor for credit for Zanfu."

Cheng Chong was overjoyed when he heard what Li Chongjiu said.

You must know that the Cheng family is a powerful Shanggu, whose ancestor Shang Chengyan was a famous official in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and has always been an official in the past dynasties.

He didn't want to look up to Li Chongjiu, a person who rose from such a humble family and reached the sky in one step, but he couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw Li Chongjiu say so, and he reciprocated: "The last little contribution in the lower district is not worth mentioning. The thief Tutan Yanmen Taiyuan Second County, so he is dedicated to serving the emperor here."

"What's the matter with Hou Ye, in case, Hou Ye Fangzhi will repel the enemy army, which can be said to be an immediate success."

The two talked in detail for a few words, and Li Chongjiu felt more and more mediocre about this person.It's not like someone who can turn the tide with his own strength and keep the county seat for two months after the death of the county magistrate and three hundred county soldiers.

Now Li Chongjiu was brought into the city and came all the way on horseback. He saw a dilapidated and dilapidated house in Feihu County, and all the houses he saw had no roofs.

Hearing Cheng Chong's explanation, only then did he know that the roof was dismantled and sent to the top of the city as a rolling log to defend the city.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but said: "When demolishing the houses, if the heavy snow comes, not to mention the enemy army coming to attack the city, most of the people in the city will freeze to death."

After hearing this, Cheng Chong quickly apologized, and said: "Master Hou is right, right, isn't this for the purpose of defending the city? It is a helpless move."

After that, Li Chongjiu rode his horse to the gate of Chengchong's mansion, and saw a nice mansion in front of him.
