Daqin: In the beginning of the rebellion, Zulong eavesdropped on his heart

"Furthermore, I'm not familiar with the lieutenant soldiers, and I won't be able to command them with ease, so I think so. You will be in charge of the imperial army, and I will lead the original garrison and dragon guards in Nanyang County. The deserters from the bandit army who had just surrendered to us went to deal with the bandit army, and our two parties echoed each other and slowly devoured the bandit army."

After pondering for a while, Xiao Qiang asked back: "The coach came to tell me, he must have already made a decision, right?"

The title changed immediately, from an adult to a coach, which shows that Xiao Qiang has also become serious.

"Yes." Li Sihan nodded with a smile.

Xiao Qiang laughed, and then said: "Of course I don't have any opinion on the commander's strategy, but the person to deal with the bandit army is wrong, it shouldn't be you, you should be guarding Nanyang County, this time the last general should be the one, I will follow Commander, tell the truth, if you take a risk alone, it is equivalent to our army taking a risk, if something happens to you, will we be safe?"

"Your Majesty, I will explain myself..." Li Si understood what Xiao Qiang meant, and also knew that he was in a difficult situation. It was true. If something happened to him, Qin Wangzheng would be furious and implicate the soldiers of the three armies.

Xiao Qiang quickly waved his hand: "Don't embarrass the general, the commander. The military order has been issued in the future. If something happens to you, the general will also be killed. Please also measure the commander's body."

His attitude was very firm, as if if Li Si did not agree, Xiao Qiang would kill himself on the spot.

After thinking about it, Li Si still didn't get tough with Xiao Qiang, but changed a soft attitude: "Okay, okay, then I will listen to you, old general, and there are quite a few people who came with me. The army has become difficult, and you are doing battles with trapped beasts and defending the city, old general, you have contributed a lot, let's take this opportunity to get closer tonight, and have a drink, how about it?"

"Okay, this veteran will naturally take orders." Xiao Qiang was still very happy when he heard that he was drinking.

After a brief chat, Li Si returned to Nanyang County, while Xiao Qiang also rushed back after sorting out the military affairs.

In addition to Ma Xiaozhi, Cheng Huan, Nie Zheng, Wei Laosan, Lu Zhongyi, Li Dayu and others who rushed back, there was a whole table of people who drank until the sky was dark, and even Ma Xiaozhi, who was injured, drank a whole jar.

Among them, Xiao Qiang drank the most, because he was the oldest, and everyone always brought him with them when they toasted, and Xiao Qiang was a bold and unrestrained person, so naturally every cup was not bad.

In the corridor.

"I think it's almost the same. He fell asleep on the table. Let's send someone to send him back, leave a letter and go. If he wakes up, it's hard to say. He tried his best to stop him, and we can't do anything about it." !" Ma Xiaozhi swayed from drinking, squinted his eyes and directed at the wall for a hot dip.

Li Si hiccupped and nodded: "Okay, let's go one by one, don't wake up in the middle, be careful."

"Understood, I'm done." Ma Xiaozhi raised his head, lifted his trousers, and shouted into the room at the top of his voice, "General Xiao, I still have to toast you with a bowl. Come on, don't sleep, let's continue drinking." .”

Xiao Qiang, who was lying on the table, was already sound asleep, snoring suddenly, how could he hear Ma Xiaozhi's shout.

Then, Ma Xiaozhi curled his lips at the rest of the room and said softly, "Hurry up, I can't finish drinking, my lord is waiting outside, we have to leave before dawn, hurry up!"

Nie Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, and murmured with some displeasure: "What a person, I let you and Li Si be fooled, this guy is so sad when he is sober, you guys..."

"Stop talking, you are also an accomplice."

"I'm really ashamed to be with you, I'm leaving first, don't wake up later, it will be shameful."

……

Three days after Li Si and the others left, the bandit army launched a massive attack. The attack was very fierce, wave after wave, obviously arranged by Jia Pingzhuan.

This time, it was much more organized than before. Every attack would be commanded by three to five soldiers, and the cavalry would rush forward.

The offensive is strong, and someone is commanding it, but it will be hard for the imperial army.

Most of their horses have been allocated to Li Si and others, and there are less than [-] horses that can fight with them, which is not enough to compete with the cavalry of the bandit army.

If these iron cavalry with less than 3000 people are allowed to fight with them rashly, then it will be a waste of money, and nothing will be returned.

Xiao Qiang was helpless at the moment, he could only take the lead and command the soldiers to defend the city to hold off the attack of the bandits.

Such a fight lasted for two days, two days of sleepless nights, because the bandits had a large number of soldiers and could go into battle in shifts, so the bandits were still physically strong, and the forbidden army could only grit their teeth and resist.

In the unknown deserted village, Li Si looked at the map of Nanyang County expressionlessly, and a group of people surrounded him and began to think about countermeasures.

Such a violent attack by the bandit army was beyond their expectation, and the change was too great, completely different from before.

The former thief army was like a child with infinite strength. He had strength, but he didn't know how to use it.

But now that he has grown up suddenly, it is not a problem to arrange troops, and he is very proficient in tactics, and it is a shortcoming that there are few people who can beat the imperial army.

"Old Lu, there are still powerful people in the bandit army? According to General Xiao's battle report, this is completely different from before, and the way of fighting is different." Ma Xiaozhi said softly with a straw in his mouth.

At this moment, Lu Zhongyi, the monk of Zhang Er, couldn't figure it out, and said very puzzled: "Most of the bandit army are peasants, and there are not many who can read and write, let alone the formation of troops. There must be someone to help, Otherwise, as far as Jia Pingzhuan and Yang Ziqiong are concerned, they will not be able to fight such a beautiful battle, and the offensive will become more and more fierce. I don't think General Xiao can hold on for long."

"There's so much nonsense, and Lao Lu also said that they are all peasants, and we are well-trained soldiers. The difference in numbers is not too large. Let's just kill the carbine." Nie Zheng raised his head and added proudly: " Capture the thief first, capture the king first, give me an iron horse, and I will screw off the heads of these two useless people. There is no one to command, let's see how they fight us."

Li Si stood up at this moment, moved his shoulders, and looked at everyone with a knowing smile.

"The most important thing right now is to solve the urgent needs of Nanyang County. Although General Xiao didn't say it in the letter, he still hoped for our support. On the one hand, the purpose of dividing the troops was to contain the bandits and prevent them from returning to Yongcheng. On the one hand, our two armies can echo each other and attack the bandit army from afar."

"Then what can you do?" Huang Zhen asked.

Li Si shook his head and sighed: "There is no good way. I think the bandit army will attack the city tonight. We can only delay the bandit army's offensive by charging with cavalry. The letter said that every time the bandit army attacks, there will be some Four teams, let's just cut them in the middle."
