Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Stop talking, sit down first!"

Guo Ye pointed to a temporarily moved tree stump next to Kang Bao, and said, "This time you were the vanguard to attack the North Gate, and Ning Zhan didn't even take half a step back until the last soldier, and even suffered several arrow wounds. The brave are really invincible. Officer Zhang Xianfeng, you are even more remarkable, which is enough to surprise this officer. Well, there is no need to mention things like apologizing and regretting, let's get down to business first."

The implication is that Guo Ye has already recognized Zhang Zhiyong, and he no longer looks at him as a fleeing general of a defeated army.

This alone is enough to make Zhang Zhiyong feel that it is worth living and dying to take the lead.He is so risking his life to be a pioneer, isn't he just trying to prove that Zhang Zhiyong is not a coward other than taking the blame and doing meritorious service?

Immediately, Zhang Zhiyong was so moved that he was speechless, bowed his hands solemnly to Guo Ye, and then sat silently on the tree stump beside Kang Bao.

Afterwards, Guo Ye cleared his throat and concluded habitually: "In the battle at the North Gate, Officer Zhang Xianfeng, the brothers from the Thousand Death Squad, and the thousands of brothers from the Sword and Shield Battalion all performed well. I have not blamed them for the defeat in the Battle of the North Gate. The main responsibility lies with me. It is because I underestimated the enemy and underestimated these mobs of the White Lotus Sect. As the saying goes, a mountain is better than A mountain is high, it seems that we have to re-examine these bandit soldiers of the White Lotus Sect."

After the words fell to the ground, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Changing generals before the battle, counterattacking calmly, and putting out dozens of bed crossbows controlled by the military at once, how could this be an ordinary mob.

Not to be underestimated, and the enemy can no longer be underestimated.

Guo Ye continued: "According to the current defense of the bandit army at the head of the city, not to mention the replacement of a master, even the dozens of bed crossbows have already stopped our thoughts of storming the north gate. If we want to attack the north gate from the north To break into the door, we must first destroy their dozens of bed crossbows. But destroying the bed crossbows is not easy?"

"Yes!"

Cheng Erniu said bluntly: "If we can destroy the dozens of damn bed crossbows on the city tower, then why attack the north gate? Now the premise is that we can't attack the north gate, how can we get on the city tower?" To destroy those bed crossbows? Uncle, are you confused by anger?"

"Shut up, Er Niu!"

Pang Feihu scolded softly, then looked at Guo Ye thoughtfully, and speculated: "Could it be that my brother wants to give up his original intention of attacking Qianzhou City from the north gate and find another way?"

"It's still Feihu who can understand."

Guo Ye praised Pang Feihu, and then gave Cheng Erniu a look, "It's okay to use your brain, you think I'm you?"

Cheng Erniu lowered his head stupidly, knowing that he had committed another crime.

Kang Bao chuckled lightly, and said cheerfully, "Erniu, you just don't use your brains. Would my brother-in-law be like you? It's really in line with Cheng Erniu's name, and you'll be second all the way to the end!"

"piss off!"

Cheng Erniu looked at Kang Bao angrily, bared his teeth and shouted, "Erniu is my nickname, and my name is Cheng Huaizhong, do you know what the fuck knows?"

"Okay, stop arguing!"

Guo Ye raised his hand to stop his brother-in-law and brother-in-law from making noise. Speaking of which, the relationship between the three of them is quite complicated.

It's my brother-in-law and my brother-in-law...

However, he seemed to have heard Cheng Erniu calling himself Cheng Huaizhong just now, and in his impression, this was the first time he had heard Cheng Erniu voluntarily admit that his name was Cheng Huaizhong.

So, from this point of view, the knot between this kid and his father Cheng Yaojin has been resolved?

Suddenly, Guo Ye thought that this time Cheng Erniu suddenly got the news from the Tubo battlefield that he was going to go south to counter the rebellion in time. Could this also have something to do with Cheng Yaojin, an old boy?

"grown ups!"

Zhang Zhiyong called out softly, calling Guo Ye back from his reverie, and asked, "Since we don't start from the north gate, where should we attack first? Don't worry about the south gate. It has nothing to do with us. The east gate There are steep cliffs and a natural danger. Unless our Guangnan Road army of more than 2 people has grown wings, there is no way to go there. Do you want to ford Heishui River, swim directly to Ximen Wharf, and then attack Qianzhou City from Ximen? ? Isn’t this too difficult?”

"Swim across the Blackwater River to attack Ximen?"

Guo Ye laughed dumbly, and said: "When I was down the hill just now, I really planned to swim across the Heishui River and land on the Ximen Wharf to attack Qianzhou City. But after thinking about it, it's too difficult. Think about it Let’s not talk about so many people swimming, the Heishui River is very fast, and our soldiers from the north are not good at swimming. I don’t know how many people will be washed away and drowned. This is one point; When I went ashore, I was discovered by the bandits guarding the city at the west gate, and I couldn’t escape in the water. In the end, I was shot and killed by random arrows in the direction of the gate tower of the west gate. Isn’t this a cocoon? It’s the last point that scares me the most. ..."

Speaking of this, Guo Ye suddenly waved to Erniu, and ordered: "Go and find me Cao Luxun, the black armor Xuanbing Zhonglang, and tell him that I have something urgent to find him, and let him rush to discuss the matter."

Cheng Erniu hummed, and immediately got up and ran out of the handsome tent in a hurry.

After Cheng Erniu left, Guo Ye continued what he had just said and said, "No one can guarantee how many bed crossbows there are in Qianzhou City now. What if the tall man who sits in the city also sets up bed crossbows at the west gate, What do you think will happen next?"

"Uh……"

Zhang Zhiyong was speechless, because he really saw the power of the bed crossbow on the front line.If there were bed crossbows erected on the Ximen Tower, there would be only one end - as many people as they swam on the Heishui River would die.If a hundred bed crossbows were mounted, the Guangnan Road army would surely be wiped out.It was born before death, and 2 horses were fed to Jianghe.

According to Guo Ye's analysis, swimming across the Heishui River to attack Ximen would not work.

The west gate is not good, the south gate is impossible, and the north gate has to give up.

Pang Feihu was shocked and said: "Brother, do you want to choose the east gate? Doesn't it mean that there is no way outside the east gate, and it is blocked by a steep cliff?"

Guo Ye waved his hand and said, "Be safe and don't be impatient, Flying Tiger."

Then he asked Zhang Zhiyong, and said: "Officer Zhang Xianfeng, when I went up to the hillside to command the tent, I accidentally glanced towards the east gate of Qianzhou City, and found that the natural danger of the steep cliff was obviously higher than the east gate tower. If I If I am not mistaken, standing on the top of the cliff should be able to overlook the East Gate Tower, and even the situation in Qianzhou City, right?"

Zhang Zhiyong didn't know why there was no way to go to the East Gate, and Guo Ye still wanted to inquire about the situation, but he replied truthfully: "That's right, the natural danger of the steep cliff is compared to the highest point of the East Gate Tower, and it will pull out a few cities." High. The natural barrier on that steep cliff is also known as Yixiantian. The local people say that it is the highest dangerous peak with a radius of hundreds of miles in Qianzhou City, so it is called Yixiantian."

"One line of sky?"

Guo Ye repeated these three words, and said with a smile: "What a ray of sky, it really gave us a ray of life!"

"What?"

Pang Feihu and Kang Bao finally understood, the little brother really hit the east gate with his idea.

Immediately, Kang Bao questioned: "Brother-in-law, it's not because Er Niu said you were confused, I also have to say you are confused. The natural barrier at the east gate, oh yes, a line of sky, this line of sky clearly blocked the east gate." There is no way forward. Why do you choose the east gate as the breakthrough point like a demon? Could it be that you let the big guys send them to the top of the mountain, and then jump down to the east gate? This is Jumping off a cliff nearly two hundred feet high is no play, are you crazy?"

In his opinion, Guo Ye is obviously leading the big guys to jump off the cliff to seek death.

Even Pang Feihu and Zhang Zhiyong secretly questioned Guo Ye, really confused, right?

At this moment, Cheng Erniu raised the curtain again, followed by Cao Luxun of the Black Armored Xuanbing, bowed his hands to Guo Ye and said, "My lord, the last general is here to report!"

"it is good!"

Guo Ye ignored Kang Bao's doubts, but got up and solemnly confessed to Cao Luxun: "General Cao Zhonglang, I have a heavy responsibility for you three thousand black armored soldiers. Whether you can break through Qianzhou City depends on your three thousand black soldiers." The Jiaxuan soldiers are here! This mission is full of dangers, you can think clearly before taking the order!"

"My lord, it doesn't matter if you say it, the last general will die!"

Cao Luxun replied without hesitation: "Duke Wei once told the last general that no matter whether there are mountains of swords or seas of fire, we must obey Master Guo's orders and not disobey them!"

"it is good!"

Guo Ye looked at Cao Luxun and slowly spit out the task: "I want you three thousand black armored soldiers to jump down from the first line of the sky, jump over the east gate and fall into Qianzhou city. From the inside, go directly to the north gate, and directly kill the gate. Open it for me, and welcome my Guangnan Road army into the city!"

"What?"

Cao Luxun looked dazed as if he was listening to a scripture, and said with a wry smile: "Master Guo, the Black Armored Profound Soldier is indeed elite, but he is not a heavenly soldier or general. Jumping from the first line of the sky, let alone jumping over the east gate , I am afraid that once it hits the ground, there will be no bones left!"

"Ha, don't worry about this! I will make your black-armored black soldiers become heavenly soldiers and generals. There is a saying that you are an angel with wings, isn't it?"

After Guo Ye lightly joked about Cao Luxun, he told Pang Feihu, Kang Bao, and Cheng Erniu, "Starting tomorrow, search for carpenters and tailors within a radius of a hundred miles, and let your soldiers Come into the mountains to hunt for me, I want bear skins, wolf skins, tiger skins, as long as it is animal skins, I want them all.”

Huh?
