Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Then he shook his head and snorted, and spat: "Don't brag here, I think that when I followed my brother to fight against bandits in Longxi County for the first time, I almost peed my pants. How can you, a fledgling boy, still be able to keep going?" Shooting and killing the bandit leader on the battlefield? And still a hundred steps away? Get lost, and learn from me. Your third uncle is a battle-tested old man."

Xue Rengui had always been proud and arrogant. Hearing Ruan Laosan's belittling so mercilessly, he couldn't hold back his face, but with Guo Ye's order first, he didn't want to go back to be Lao Shizi's messenger.

So he could only grunt angrily: "We'll see!"

After a while, several captains of the Sword and Shield Battalion stepped forward to report that the shield wall was completed and could move forward at any time.

Ruan Laosan gave a big praise when he heard the words, and ordered the messengers to blow the horns and order dozens of shield walls composed of hundreds of people to move forward.

Beep...beep beep...

One after another, the human-shaped shield walls began to move forward one after another, in an orderly manner, without any chaos.

The first battle at the North Gate is officially underway!

……

……

Qianzhou City, North Gate.

Thousands of bandit troops of the White Lotus Sect with white jins on their heads and white robes were stationed on the tower one by one.However, the bandits defending the city were not from the regular army. They were all composed of congregants and believers of the White Lotus Sect, and many of them were forcibly recruited into the Dharma Guardian Army.

Therefore, from the bandits guarding the city on the north gate tower, there is no trace of military style at all.Instead, more like a bunch of lazy hooligans.That is, the mob that Guo Ye and Li Jing mentioned.

It was time for dinner at this time, so the city tower was extraordinarily noisy and messy, with the sound of frolicking and shouting everywhere.

About [-] people had dinner on the city tower, and the noise was comparable to that of a market.

The leader who defended the north gate of Qianzhou City was surnamed Wu, and his single name was a character of tiger. As the name suggests, he had a tiger's back and a wolf's waist, and he looked like a powerful and reckless man.His status in the White Lotus Sect is not low, and he is one of the Eight Great Vajras under the leadership of the White Lotus Sect, Hu Bilie.

In addition to Hu Bilie, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, there are two elders, four deacons, and eight diamonds.These people are the backbone of the original Manichaeism, Taipingdao, and White Lotus Society. After the establishment of the White Lotus Sect, they naturally became the core figures in the religion.

It can be seen that Wu Hu, who led the [-] Dharma Guardians to defend the North Gate, plays a very important role in the White Lotus Sect.

At this time, Wu Hu was setting up a table under the eaves of a city tower, drinking heavily and eating meat with a few confidantes. Some drifted away.

Boom!

After finishing another bowl of wine, Wu Hu hiccupped, put his hand on the shoulder of a confidant next to him drunkenly, and shouted: "How is it? Ever since I rebelled with Lao Tzu, isn't it better to be happy than a live god?" ah?"

"Hey, that's that."

The leader smiled and said: "When I was in Taiping Dao, my brothers followed Chief Wu. Now that I have transformed into the White Lotus Sect, my brothers still follow Chief Wu. Hehe, Chief Wu is respected, and our brothers are each leading 1000 people The Dharma guards, who drank heavily and ate meat all day long, lived an extremely comfortable life!"

"Of course!"

A leader sitting opposite also echoed and flattered: "Since our White Lotus Sect started the incident in the south, how many cities have we captured? The officers and soldiers are really hard-pressed. When they arrived, they just watched our White Lotus Sect come, and then Lost the city and escaped. Haha, how do you say that word?"

"Look out and run away!"

Another leader stood up, poured wine for Wu Hu with a wine jar, and flattered him: "Brothers these days, people are killing people, drinking alcohol, eating meat, and women playing. Cough cough, but ah, Chief Wu, the brothers haven't given out rewards for a long time."

The so-called rewards of the White Lotus Sect are actually the same as the army's rations, but they are not an army supported by the imperial court, so they don't have the habit of paying money.

It's just that when looting and massacring the city, he secretly hid some money in his pocket.The main thing is to rely on the leaders of the White Lotus Sect to give them silver rewards.

After the boss finished speaking, he winked at the little bosses at the table and motioned everyone to talk about it with Wu Hu.

After they received the wink, they were about to open their mouths to speak when Wu Hu, who was drunk, suddenly raised his hand—boom!

A heavy palm fell on the wine table, splashing most of the wine that was just filled in the bowl.

Wu Hu's drunken red face turned ruthless, cursing and saying: "If you reward silver and reward silver, I know your mother will reward silver. I know that you all miss the gold and silver treasures hoarded in the city. Bah, don't talk about you, just Even Lao Tzu is jealous, it was looted from the [-]th city of Lingnan Road, the wealth is incomparable. Hiccup..."

Wu Hu burped again, glanced at them fiercely, and said, "But don't say that I dare not make decisions about those gold and silver treasures, even the leader can't make decisions privately, do you understand? A group of stupid idiots, do you really think that our White Lotus Sect can have what it is today, thanks to the leadership of the leader alone? Wake up, there are people who make up their minds behind our White Lotus Sect! Before the completion, have you ever seen those two elders beside our leader?"

Those two elders who put on a dead face all day long?

The few leaders present were lucky enough to meet those two elders in Lingnan Mansion, and vaguely remembered that the leader Hu Bilie respected them both.

Now when Wu Hu, who is one of the Eight Great Vajras of the White Lotus Sect, said this, several people showed a bit of shock on their faces.

Immediately, they all asked, "Boss, boss, what are the backgrounds of these two elders?"

"Brother Hu, is it possible that someone behind our White Lotus Sect is controlling everything?"

"My God, Brother Ang, tell your brothers, so that we little pawns can learn a lot, okay?"

"Hiccup~"

Wu Hu burped heavily again, then picked up the half bowl of wine left on the table and gulped it down, raised his hand to wipe the wine stains on his mouth with his sleeve, and said in a low voice: " Well, let me tell you today so that you can learn a lot! If you want to talk about these two elders, they have a lot of background. You have heard of..."

"Report-"

"Report report!!"

Suddenly, several urgent reports interrupted Wu Hu's speech, and several white lotus bandit soldiers guarding the city ran to the wine table and yelled at Wu Hu:

"Chief Wu, there is a situation under the city!"

"Boss, it seems that the imperial army is attacking!"

Bang!

Wu Hu jumped up against the case when he heard the words, and shouted in shock: "The imperial army is here to suppress? How is this possible?"

This time, Wu Hu completely sobered up, and was so frightened that he sobered up!

Chapter 1049

With the night wind blowing, Wu Hu, who was shocked by the urgent report, completely sobered up.

He hurriedly left the table and ran to the top of the city, leaning over to look down the city under the moonlight, he saw dozens of large shield walls slowly moving towards the north gate a few hundred steps away, the blackness was really frightening.

slap~

Wu Hu slapped his palm on the city wall, ignoring the pain in his palm, and cursed furiously: "Mal Gobi, look at the standard of the shield, leather armor and long knife, it is definitely the government's army. Ninety-nine percent It’s the Chang’an court that sent officers and soldiers to conquer us!”

As soon as this remark came out, several confidantes around him exclaimed in surprise, showing panic and uneasiness.

"What are you panicking about?"

Wu Hu reprimanded severely, and shouted: "It is estimated that there are only a few thousand people. Look, how scared are you? Where did the ruthlessness that ransacked and slaughtered the city go? Why are you still doing nothing? Why don't you go down and pass the order?" , Let me shoot the dog soldiers of the imperial court with arrows?"

In an instant, several little bosses ran wildly, shouting in a panic:

"Send the arrow, release the arrow!"
