Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Xue Rengui grinned and nodded his thanks again and again, then walked to the big stone and sat down.

It can be regarded as God opened his eyes, and he finally has a place to play.

"All right!"

Guo Ye clapped his hands to signal everyone to be silent, and then said: "Now we are also setting up camp outside Qianzhou City, but in the south of June Day, the sky is darker later than in the north, so it is not suitable to go to Qianzhou City now. Launch a general attack. Taking advantage of this time, let's discuss how to attack."

Now Pang Feihu, Cheng Erniu and others are no longer Wuxia Amon, they have already passed the stage of reckless recklessness and blindly risking their lives.After hearing Guo Ye's remarks, they all fell silent and did not interrupt indiscriminately, because knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles.

Guo Ye saw that everyone seemed to be listening, and he felt very comforted. It seemed that the opportunity for them to be independent in the Xichuan Protectorate's Mansion and Tuyuhun Road was not in vain.

Immediately, Guo Ye looked at Zhang Zhiyong, called him by name, and said, "Officer Zhang Xianfeng, please tell me about the situation in Qianzhou City. This will help the big guys have a plan for the next siege."

"Yes!"

Zhang Zhiyong patted the dust off his buttocks, stood up from the stone, cupped his hands and said, "Master Guo, although the general doesn't know who the bandit leader is in charge of guarding Qianzhou City, he does know that there are nearly ten thousand bandits stationed in Qianzhou City." Army. Guarding the north gate, south gate, and east gate of Qianzhou City respectively. Of course, they also deployed a little force at the west gate, but the number was not large, and no more than 500 people could survive."

"Why is Ximen's defense so weak?"

Cheng Erniu interjected and asked, "Could it be that the location of Ximen still relies on something?"

"General Er Niu guessed right!"

Zhang Zhiyong looked at Cheng Erniu, nodded and explained: "Because the west of Qianzhou City is next to the Heishui River, once the west gate is opened, there will be the Heishui River wharf. So they don't have to worry about someone attacking from the direction of the west gate. The 500 people Look, enough!"

Cheng Erniu snorted and said nothing more.

After Guo Ye listened to Zhang Zhiyong's words, a general outline of Qianzhou City immediately formed in his mind.Then he asked: "In other words, we are facing the north gate of Qianzhou City three miles away. In the same way, if our army only needs to move forward, it will be the north gate that will spot us first." The white lotus army is here. Is it?"

Zhang Zhiyong responded: "Yes, my lord!"

Guo Ye snorted, and said in a deep voice: "I looked at the terrain before, and the north gate is the only passage leading to our side. The west gate is the Heishui River, and the east gate is a steep cliff. I want to fight in a roundabout way to get things. The two gates are impossible. It seems that only by forcefully attacking the north gate can we attack the other gates and annihilate the bandit army in the city."

Zhang Zhiyong nodded and replied: "Your Excellency is wise, if you want to take down Qianzhou City in our direction, you have to attack the North Gate by force. However, because of the importance of the North Gate, the general will estimate the strength of the North Gate's defense force at the end." It is also the strongest. I am afraid that there are at least five thousand bandits on the top of the north gate. And..."

Zhang Zhiyong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If the north gate cannot be captured in a short time, the bandit troops from the other three gates will surely come to reinforce them one after another. Repeated rounds of shooting can cause us to lose a lot of soldiers and horses."

Guo Ye sneered and asked, "Are you afraid?"

"No!"

Zhang Zhiyong straightened up suddenly, and begged for his life with his hands clasped together: "The last general invites you to fight. I would like to be the vanguard. I hope your lord will allow me!"

"Okay, I'll let you fight this vanguard."

Guo Ye suddenly turned his head to look at Ruan Laosan, and asked, "Your Sword and Shield Battalion plus the Longxi veterans you brought from Tuyuhun, is about [-]?"

Ruan Laosan stood up and replied: "Full staff, 6000 people!"

Guo Ye asked, "How about storming the North Gate and letting your Sword and Shield Battalion fight for me?"

Ruan Laosan hummed, and said sonorously: "I didn't say anything, let us do it first. Even if we can't attack the north gate, our shield wall can temporarily consume some of their arrows."

Cheng Erniu and Kang Bao hurriedly got up, wanting to invite the first battle, but they were stopped by Guo Ye who raised his hand and said: "You are not in a hurry, first let the third brother's sword and shield camp test the depth of the water. In terms of self-protection ability, I can rest assured that the Sword and Shield Battalion is gone."

After hearing this, the two also felt that it was reasonable, so they lost their temper.

Guo Ye glanced at Ruan Laosan and Zhang Zhiyong, and said: "In this way, you will fight the first battle of the Sword and Shield Battalion, and you will assign a thousand brothers to Officer Zhang Xianfeng. As soon as the shield wall is close to the north gate, Officer Zhang Xianfeng Lead 1000 people to break open the north gate for me. What do you two agree?"

Third Ruan waved his hand and said, "No way!"

Zhang Zhiyong also said: "The last general will never give up, and will never take half a step back!"

"Guo...Master Guo, give me 1000 people too, and I'd like to be a pioneer too!"

Xue Rengui got up quickly, ran to Guo Ye, clasped his fists in an orderly manner, and offered to invite Ying.

Chapter 1048 Qianzhou City North Gate

dong dong dong...

Guo Ye personally held the hammer and beat the drum in front of the battle to attack the sword and shield battalion in the first battle against the North Gate.

Under the sound of rumbling drums, Ruan Laosan led the Daodunying Hu Ben to Qianzhou City three miles away.

The fast-moving team of thousands of people raised dust and mist to cover the sky until the thousands of people in the Sword and Shield Battalion disappeared in Guo Ye's eyes. He looked ahead and the drumstick in his hand still did not stop. Try to sing.

The Sword and Shield Battalion arrived less than a mile away from the north gate of Qianzhou City. Ruan Laosan suddenly reined in the reins and ordered the passer-by to preach: "Send the order and stop advancing. Inform the captains of each team to form a unit of hundreds of people. Shield wall, then slow down, creeping towards the north gate of Qianzhou City."

"Here!"

"As ordered!"

Two of Ruan Laosan's personal soldiers immediately turned their horses' heads, and while riding the horses to spread the word, they kept waving small colored flags in their hands, warning the Sword and Shield Camp with flag language.

Da Da Da~

Under the sound of hurried hoofbeats, Zhang Zhiyong rode his horse to the side of Ruan Laosan, cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Zhiyong, the vanguard officer, is waiting for General Ruan Lang to order!"

Ruan Laosan said: "Officer Zhang Xianfeng, once the shield wall is completed, I will lead the army to advance to the north gate, and you will lead a thousand sons to follow. But my shield wall can only escort you to a distance of [-] meters from the north gate. The next step is for you and Brother Yiqian to rush through the door."

"no problem!"

Zhang Zhiyong raised the steel knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "At that time, Ruan Lang will only need to order the brothers in the Sword and Shield Battalion to give Zhang a way. The rest of the [-]-step charge will be up to us. As for life or death, it is up to God to decide."

"How courageous!"

Third Ruan applauded, cupped his hands and said, "Then go down and get ready, take care!"

"Driving~"

Zhang Zhiyong quickly turned his horse's head and turned back.

Da Da Da~

There was another clatter of horseshoes, and a youthful figure approached Ruan Laosan and shouted: "General Ruan Lang, Mr. Guo ordered me to be the right vanguard officer, and I will also go with Zhang Xianfeng officer How about the city gate?"

The person who came was Xue Rengui who had volunteered to volunteer before.

"fart!"

Ruan Lao San gave him a hard look, spat on the ground, and scolded Xue Rengui: "Brother Guo, oh no, Mr. Guo appointed you a right vanguard, you really treat yourself like a green onion? Mr. Guo ordered Now, this is your first time on the battlefield, so you have to follow me around half a step, and you must not act without authorization. Otherwise, you will go back and continue to be your messenger."

"Hugh underestimated people!"

Xue Rengui looked at Ruan Laosan angrily, raised the iron bow in his hand, and said arrogantly: "If you don't let me charge, I will not go. But within a hundred steps, I will be able to shoot and kill the bandit leader who guards the city. Just wait and see!"

Ruan Lao San knew that Xue Rengui was a first-time brother on the battlefield. Hearing the other party's unobstructed words, he immediately included Xue Rengui in the ranks of embroidered pillows who came from a famous teacher but had high eyes and low hands.
