Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Ah? Yes, yes, yes~"

Hu Bilie also felt that beheading chicken heads and burning yellow paper was indeed a bit vulgar, so he laughed again and again: "It's different now, we don't follow the style of people from the Jianghu, we just follow the style of Mr. Dugu. What do you think next? Yes Instead of looking for an opportunity, we will directly give the father and son..."

While talking and gesticulating, a gesture of raising a knife and lowering his hand has already made Hu Bilie's impatient heart want to come out.

Then, he added: "Young Master Dugu, don't worry, as long as the Yu family's father and son die, we will successfully recruit their Yu family's soldiers and horses. Don't think that the Dharma guards are all from their Yu family, but in the end they are still from our White Lotus Sect." Disciples and congregation. When the Yu family father and son die, there will be no leader among the dragons. As long as Mr. Hu raises his arms at that time, and Mr. Dugu, you lead the crowd to respond to Mr. Hu, hehe, it will not be difficult to recruit tens of thousands of people."

"Not urgent!"

While Duguyu was amazed that Hu Bilie was so impatient, she couldn't help wondering whether this Hu Bilie had this idea early on?If this is the case, then the danger of this person lies with his father and son, and he needs to be careful.

Later, he explained: "Now is not the best time to do it. Think about it, the gold bricks are still in the hands of the officers and soldiers on the other side. If you rush to solve the father and son, it will inevitably cause civil strife. Of course, we I believe that Master Hu is fully capable of quelling the war, but we have civil strife before the foreign enemy is eliminated. This is not a good thing. And now is the time to employ people, and we still need their strength to capture Lingnan City and regain the gold bricks , isn't it?"

"That's right, Mr. Dugu is right."

Hu Bilie understood after a while, nodded and agreed: "Then wait until Lingnan City is captured and the gold bricks are taken back, and then find a chance to deal with the four of them. It was Hu who acted too hastily. Fortunately, Mr. Dugu is at the helm, otherwise Almost missed the big deal. Hey, those gold bricks are the most important thing."

"It's exactly this principle, as long as Master Hu understands it."

Duguyu saw that Hu Bilie had no defenses against her at this time, and then hit the iron while it was hot: "Now, Master Hu, your troops have just captured Qianzhou City. It is the time when the morale is at its peak, so you should take advantage of the victory and pursue it. Now we have to attack If we go to Lingnan City on the other side, we will have to forcibly cross the Heishui River first, and take down the first line of defense set up by the officers and soldiers along the bank. I think the troops of the leader Hu will take the lead, how about it?"

"Of course I didn't ask... Uh, you want me to lead the battle again?"

Hu Bilie was highly praised by Duguyu, and he almost agreed, but he still reacted decisively.Then he looked at Duguyu with a puzzled face, and asked, "Master Dugu, why should I take the lead? Are you really using me, Hu Bilie, and my 20 brothers as livestock? This donkey is going to rest." What about tone, let alone people? Even if there is a shortage of people to take the lead, it is appropriate for them to go up and fight with the father and son. Could it be that the hundreds of thousands of Dharma guards under their hands are all just decorations?"

Duguyu was slightly taken aback, and said to herself, it seems that this ecstasy soup is still not enough, after all, he has reacted to it.

Immediately, he adjusted his mentality slightly, pretended to be angry, and lightly scolded: "Master Hu, I praised you as a smart person just now, why are you being confused again at this time? I see you, you are still being punished. The Yu family father and son were so angry that they lost their ability to think."

Hu Bilie said: "How to say?"

Duguyu said: "Think about it, the Yu family father and son have always had opinions on you, why?"

"Grandma, these old dogs and puppies of the Yu family are nothing more than self-confessed about being from a famous family and looking down on Hu, who is from ordinary people." When Hu Bilie mentioned Yu's father and son, he became angry again, "Damn it, He doesn't even look at who broke the thunderstorm, who was the first to attack Qianzhou City. Let me tell you, he really looks down on those of us with humble backgrounds, so what if we were born in a famous family? A fancy embroidered pillow? Uh... Mr. Dugu, I didn't talk about you, I was talking about that animal of the Yu family."

Duguyu smiled against her will and said: "I understand, I understand, Master Hu is a man of temperament, how can I not understand? If you hate such straightforward words in your heart, how can you and my family share weal and woe together for a long time in the future? Right? ?”

Hu Bilie nodded his head, gave a thumbs up and said in praise: "If you insist on it, Mr. Dugu, I will show you your generosity, and Hu will just say one word, I will accept it!"

"Haha, Master Hu, let's get down to business!"

Duguyu said: "Think about it, hasn't the Yu family always looked down on you, Hierarch Hu? Especially this time you won Qianzhou City, they thought you had the luck of the timely rain, not your real ability. And after planning for so long, what you won is still an empty city. Master Hu, you should fight a beautiful and tough battle to show others, so that the white lotus guards under Yu's family will be convinced, otherwise you will raise your arms and gather in the future. And once Master Hu successfully crossed the Heishui River, I think he would slap the Yu family father and son hard, leaving them speechless. taste?"

"hiss……"

Hu Bilie took a deep breath, nodded thoughtfully, and said to himself, "That's right, not only can you slap them hard on the Yu family, but you can also make those under the Yu family The congregants of the White Lotus Sect believe in Lao Tzu, indeed, Lao Tzu should fight a tough battle and show them. But..."

After all, Hu Bilie hesitated, and said with some concern: "There is the first line of defense from the officers and soldiers on the other side. Forcing the Heishui River is a desperate job. By then, many of my brothers will surely die. Even if the crossing is successful, I am afraid there will be heavy casualties."

"Look, you're confused again."

Duguyu smiled softly: "When the time comes, we will settle the Yu family's father and son, and all the hundreds of thousands of Dharma guards under Yu's family will belong to you. Isn't it over? My Dugu family doesn't want any of them. My brother is a few in the south. There are still hundreds of thousands of people in the state capital, so there is no need to rob people with you, Master Hu!"

Hu Bilie's eyes popped, and he shouted in surprise: "Young Master Dugu, are you serious? Do you really want none of them, and put them all under my subordinates?"

"No lie!"

Duguyu replied decisively: "Besides, if Master Hu takes the lead job, then the work of cutting wood and building ships on the mountain will be handed over to the father and son of the Yu family. Just think about it, the four dignified father and son of the Yu family, unexpectedly You are only assigned to Hu Jiaozhu to do some chores such as chopping wood and building ships, thinking about it is also depressing, isn't it?"

"The father and son of the Yu family went up the mountain to chop wood and build boats?"

Hu Bilie grinned happily again, and then laughed loudly: "If you want it, the Yu family father and son are only assigned to do some chores for me to carry and shine shoes. That's right, I can be regarded as elated. Definitely, cool!"

Speaking of this, Hu Bilie seemed to have accepted the task of crossing the Heishui River to take the lead, and promised firmly: "Young Master Dugu, just look at it, even if Hu is completely wiped out, let the people under his command be defeated." The corpses fill up the Heishui River, and we must wade out a bloody road, and we must successfully break through the first line of defense set up by the officers and soldiers along the coast."

"Okay, Master Hu's courage is commendable, and his ambition is even more respectable, so let's make a deal!"

"A word is settled!"

Chapter 1088

In the next few days, the old man Yu Jingde really cooperated with his three sons, and led a group of troops to cut firewood and wood all over the mountains and plains, and speed up the progress of building ships for Hu Bilie.

In Hu Bilie's eyes, Yu Jingde's cooperation was so unconditional, he took it for granted that the other party was swallowing his anger, and he was so happy.

Sleeping at night for the past few days, Hu Bilie yelled happily in the tent, almost babbling, mad at you, an old dog, and even woke up laughing in his dreams repeatedly.

It can be seen that Duguyu has successfully lobbied, and Hu Bilie is really willing to cross the Heishui River this time to take the lead.

In a few days, hundreds of thousands of white lotus guards rushed to work day and night, and the number of boats in the west gate ferry area of ​​Qianzhou City gradually increased.In less than seven days, in the mountains and forests near Qianzhou City, all the old and sturdy trees were cut down by the troops of Yu's father and son. At the same time, nearly a hundred ships were built.

However, due to the rush of time and the lack of skilled craftsmen, the boats produced were still relatively small, and the number of people that could be carried across the river by [-] boats was completely insufficient for Hu Bilie's more than [-] troops.

Then,

The Yu family father and son had to lead the crowd to run all over the mountain, continue to cut firewood and log, and continue to build more ships.

Of course, Hu Bilie is happy to see what happened to the father and son of the Yu family, and still maintains a gloating mentality.

Day by day, I spent day by day cutting firewood and building ships for the White Lotus Guardian Army...

The east gate ferry of Lingnan City, across a Heishui River, is directly facing the west gate of Qianzhou City.

The water flowed smoothly, and the Heishui River, whose water surface was extremely turbid, lay between the ferry crossings between the two cities, and was eighty or ninety feet wide.

According to the current measurement unit, one zhang is equivalent to three meters three, that is to say, this dangerous and bottomless Heishui River is 300 meters wide.

Guo Ye was surrounded by a group of people standing at the ferry and looking across the river. It was obviously difficult to see the situation on the West Gate Tower from such a long distance, but it did not affect Guo Ye's interest in the area along the West Gate Ferry in Qianzhou City. observe.

Cao Luxun, who led the [-] Heijiaxuan Battalion as the first echelon to guard the first line of defense, followed Guo Ye closely. Seeing Guo Ye looking at the other side of the Heishui River with a solemn expression, he couldn't help saying in a low voice: "My lord, at the moment The bandit army is rushing to build more ships, and it is estimated that within three days, they will gather enough ships to forcefully cross the Heishui River and launch a general attack on our Lingnan City."

Guo Ye made a rough estimate of the riverboats on the other side of the river, and there were about 800 of them. According to the size of the riverboats on the other side, one boat could barely carry 250 people across the river.And based on his observation of the number of additional ships built by the other party in the past few days, it is estimated that 20 more ships will be built in three days. The [-] river boats can fully carry [-] soldiers and horses.For grandma, I have to say that with so many white lotus bandits working together to chop wood and build ships, the output is quite amazing.

Guo Ye heard Cao Luxun's words, but he just replied lightly: "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover. The enemy and us have been lingering for so long, and it's time to fight the bayonet with swords. This battle is inevitable. !"

Cao Luxun's eyes showed determination, he nodded and said, "What your lord said is absolutely true, a desperate battle is inevitable. But don't worry, my lord, I have three thousand black-armored black soldiers with hundreds of bed crossbows and countless crossbows. At the end of the defense line, we will defend to the end. Even if the arrows are exhausted, the three thousand black-armored soldiers will not take half a step back. It is better to be broken than to be destroyed. Don’t worry, my lord, we will definitely play the style of the black-armored soldiers Come."

"wrong!"

Guo Ye's succinct words directly negated Cao Luxun's passionate words.

Suddenly, Cao Luxun looked bewildered.

Guo Ye explained with a smile: "There is a saying in the market that two fists are harder than four legs, and a good man can't stand a crowd. This time, the opponent is obviously going up and pretending to cross the Heishui River, relying on the boat prepared by the opponent this time. , 20 people take the lead is a sure thing. How can you kill 20 people with just three thousand black armored black soldiers and a hundred bed crossbows? Listen to me, as many as you can kill, as many as you can kill, as many as you can kill How much. If you can’t keep it at that time, don’t be stubborn and make those fearless sacrifices. One word, withdraw! Withdraw them all to the city.”

"My lord's words are wrong!"

Cao Luxun argued: "You can't lose your ambition. Just because the white lotus bandit army occupies a large number of people, I have to retreat? No, it's impossible! The last general and the brothers absolutely can't afford to lose this man." The same sentence, as long as you can keep it for as long as you can, the big deal will be burnt, and you will be famous in history!"
