Xu Tuibei looked at the man in black with malicious intentions and said disdainfully, "This guy has fought so many battles recently, and has not raided at night once. Only the Hu people from the two restricted states in the southwest here do not like raid at night. The Hu people outside the pass do not have such quirks."
The man in black strangled the wound on his arm with a cloth bag. The sweat beads of soybeans on his forehead were already so painful that it kept falling. When he saw Xu Tui's malicious eyes, he felt that the wound was getting more and more painful, as if countless steel nails were hit in.
I heard people talk about the deeds of this Roushan before, and a group of people felt that there were many exaggerated elements.
No one can survive the Tubo army of such a size and fight fiercely on the city wall all night.
But looking at Xu Tuibei in front of him, the man in black only felt that he seemed to be even more terrifying than the rumored Xu Tuibei.
"It's indeed a Hu man."
Xu Tuibei just smiled contemptuously again. The man in black was already a little broken. "I only heard those people around him call him the Lord of the Birthday. We don't know anything else. There is a counselor around him who is also from outside. Not only is he good at governing the army, but his cultivation is also strong. The head of Feilongling disobeyed his orders. He fought with him for two moves, and his internal organs were shaken to pieces."
Xu Tui's face had less gloomy expression. He looked at the man in black and smiled, "Where is this Hu man named Birthday Lord? As long as you can help us determine the specific whereabouts of this person, we will find this person and kill him. Wouldn't this bandit be broken? Think about what kind of credit you can get when the time comes. Don't say that you will never worry about money in your life, your next generation may not have to worry about money."
The man in black was not in the mood to think about the things described by Xu Tuibei. He was now full of his mind.
"The two of them should have been in the Changchong Ridge area yesterday, but their whereabouts are uncertain. I don't know where to go next." He was eager to live and immediately said, "But I know an emergency military situation, and I don't know if it can be used to exchange lives first."
"How much is your life worth? Even if you did too many evil things before and put them on the military list, you have cut so many heads in this morning. You can't pick one of them who looks like you? Just the two you mentioned were in Changcheng Ridge yesterday, so you can't pick someone by yourself." Xu Tuibei smiled. Although the man in black said that the military was urgent, at this time, he became more and more calm and could not see any anxious appearance. He just comforted the man, "As long as what you said is useful, it can be used to exchange for the money you spend in the next life."
"Thank you General Xu!" When the man in black heard that he could survive and find a scapegoat to write off his previous bad deeds, he was immediately overjoyed and forgot to hurt his wounds. He knelt down and kowtowed, "The Hu people named Master Birthday and his advisers knew that Hua Huaixian was in Yuyang County now. I heard that he had chosen three thousand elite soldiers and set out for Yuyang County at night. It might have arrived at this time."
"Grass!"
Xu Tuibei was restless, and he cursed in a pissy manner, "Is this military situation true?"
When the man in black saw Xu Tui's back changing face, he was so scared that he shivered, and his crotch was hot, "It should be true."
"Grass!"
"I inform the cavalry to give up all the fastest war horses, and all the practitioners here rushed to Yuyang County, one man and three riders!"
"I inform Yan Laoliu and the others, let them change the route and go to Yuyang County at full speed!"
"This bunch of dogs, An Zhilu and the others are all in Yuyang County!"
Xu Tui made orders repeatedly, almost roaring.
He wanted to capture the thief and first captured the king. He knew that those who integrated the bandits must be masters. Only by finding out and killing the man can he solve the bandits in a relatively short period of time.
Otherwise, the better the person is integrated over time. If he connects with foreign enemies, it will not be able to solve the problem of this group of people. Whether Youzhou can withstand it is still a question.
But the fucking master is a master. He wants to capture the thief and capture the king first, and the other party wants to obtain it.
Moreover, this man suddenly determined that Yuyang County, which had been stationed heavily in the past, was now a paper tiger.
In Yuyang County, except for the defenders who were posing on the city wall, there were only those seriously injured soldiers in the previous battles. Now, there was a lot of smoke from the stove in the two barracks in the city. But in fact, those two places are not considered military camps now, but two large clinics.
But Hua Huaixian is now in Yuyang County!
He and a hundred personal soldiers should be Yuyang County that he arrived yesterday. There, he wanted to negotiate with several major clans in the city to ask those clans to help recruit troops. Fortunately, before the summer came, he would completely resolve most of the bandits in Youzhou.
Hua Huaixian has been in Youzhou for so long, and everyone recognizes him as a real pillar. If Hua Huaixian is killed by these bandits, Youzhou will be in chaos!
And An Zhilu is also recovering from her injuries in Youzhou!
Xu Tuibei had already asked An Zhilu to take the lead before the New Year. In more than ten battles of all sizes after the New Year, An Zhilu did what he said and did not disappoint him at all.
In more than ten battles, seven of them were the first to make it!
But the merit of leading by example rushing to the simple city walls of those villages also has to be paid a bloody price.
These bandits in Youzhou have made many designs on the city wall and weapons to prevent the attack. An Zhilu not only had more than ten pieces of her body, but even had a hole cut on her abdomen by a hook knife.
In Xu Tuibei's eyes, An Zhilu was crueler than when she was younger, and she was a little smarter than herself back then and would not easily make friends with others.
He had long regarded An Zhilu as his successor. Such a person, as long as he climbed high enough to go to any border town in the Tang Dynasty, he would become a hero who intimidated the other side.
If An Zhilu died in Yuyang County with Hua Huaixian, he would really be so angry that he vomited blood.
His face was already ashen, but looking at the trembling man in black, he still said, "Don't worry, I, Xu, do what I say, and you figure it out yourself. I also want to use you as a typical example to let them see that as long as you abandon the darkness and make contributions to me, there will be the benefits of doing what you say."
"Thank you General Xu!" The man in black felt weak on his knees and kowtowed to Xu Tui's back again.
Xu Tui's back took a deep breath.
He looked in the direction of Yuyang County.
His body was too heavy, and he couldn't run fast even with his war horses. He was not as fast as those practitioners and cavalrymen when he rushed to Yuyang County, so he knew that it was useless to be anxious now.
"Boy, it depends on your life."
An Zhilu's face flashed through Xu Tui's mind. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said slowly in his heart, "If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune. Gu Shiwu will not die in Heishawa, and he has established a reputation. Even Li will not dare to touch him easily. He will be able to stand firm in Chang'an. If you don't die in Yuyang County this time, there will be more benefits in the future."
...
"Enemy attack!"
"Where do you get so many bandits!"
The drum sounds in Yuyang County were already earth-shaking at this time.
The garrisons in Yuyang County are elite in the entire Youzhou. When they charge in front of the army, not only did the chariots in the army immediately place big drums, but strong men beat drums. Many soldiers are also equipped with small drums. They beat the horse's hooves rhythmically, and the sound is like a tide and the momentum is surging.
But because he was an elite, he was transferred out early to fight against most of the bandits.
Now, even if the sound of drums on the city wall and in the city is like a sound, they are just like thunder falling from the sky, which makes people panic, but they can't summon many soldiers.
Yuyang County originally had many troops stationed. Although there were constant bandits in Youzhou in the past twenty years, no bandits dared to seek death on their own and ran to Yuyang County to rob.
Therefore, the people in Yuyang County have never seen two or three thousand bandits rushing towards Yuyang County like ghosts and wolves howling.
The bandits came from the west, and the people in the city rushed to the east.
When the smoke from the corner tower ignited, it was too late for the defenders on the east city wall to transport the large-scale weapons through the main road in the city to the west. The main road in the city was blocked by people who were dragging their families and fleeing.
Hua Huaixian and his group had just talked with several representatives of the clans in the city for less than a cup of tea at the county magistrate's office. When they heard so many bandits with troops attacking from the west, Hua Huaixian and others knew that something was wrong. The person who commanded the bandits was even more powerful than they thought.
"General Hua, go quickly!"
A deputy general wearing black armor broke in directly, and he said this. Before he could say that the horse was ready, he heard Hua Huaixian sneer.
"Go? Where to go."
The deputy general wearing black armor was not shocked, but his heart sank.
He knew that Hua Huaixian would not leave.
Sure enough, Hua Huaixian sneered, "These people attacked from all over the world, obviously they were coming for me. I brought bad luck to the lords of Yuyang County, and I patted my butt and left. They were in trouble. Even if we all escaped by chance, I will still see them in the future and have a face to fall in Yuyang County?"
"You guys! Go first. The target of these thieves is me. If I stay in the city, they should not pursue the fugitives. As long as you last for half a day, reinforcements will arrive. If I am still alive, you will kill you and save me. If I die, you will avenge us with General Xu!"
There were six representatives of the clans present, and some rich gentry and only two nodded when they heard this, but everyone was shaking their heads. Someone sneered, "General Hua, don't leave, do we have the right to escape? At worst, I can fight to death here today, so I can leave my name in history!"
"You guys have thought about it and stay in the city for a lifetime!"
The situation was urgent, and Hua Huaixian did not persuade him much, but ordered quickly, "All soldiers in the city who could fight should not sacrifice fearlessly. They would all retreat within five miles of the county magistrate's mansion to fight with these thieves. All the bows, crossbows and arrows that could be transported from the armory were taken out for use, and the rest of the weapons that could not be transported would be pushed down on the wall on the spot. Block the nearby streets and do not show up with their cavalry, so that those who rushed in could only fight in the foot!"
These clans and wealthy families in the city went out to summon people, but a few of them saw that the thief army was really powerful and the rest of the family opposed it, so they chose to escape first. The rest of the people summoned a total of more than 400 people, plus more than 100 personal soldiers from Hua Huaixian, hundreds of people retreated from the city, and the brave young people who heard the news gathered in the city, and more than 1,000 people were deployed in the streets and alleys around the county magistrate's mansion.
Yuyang County is small, but there is a city god temple and two markets around the county magistrate's mansion. The buildings are very dense. It happened to be two rains before, and it was wet everywhere and was not afraid of fire attacks. Hua Huaixian chose to face the enemy here, which was definitely not a temporary intention.
But once many cannons were pushed down, the streets around the county magistrate's mansion were already in chaos. With a large number of caltrops sprinkled, it would be impossible for the cavalry to gallop across the road.
Before, Hua Huaixian, like all the generals of the Tang Dynasty military, had carefully studied the battle of Heishawa commanded by Green Eyes. In Hua Huaixian's opinion, the current situation was somewhat imaginative as the battle of Heishawa.
Although the bandit army was powerful and they must have chosen those who were good at fighting among the bandits, which was not comparable to the mob they had temporarily pieced together, but they could not withstand the waste, just like the Tubo army at that time.
Moreover, the military strength of the Tubo army was terrifying, and the Tang border troops behind Heishawa did not dare to dispatch easily, but Yuyang County was different now. As long as Xu Tuibei and others reacted, they could mobilize at least thousands of troops to aid at any time, so these bandit troops had only half a day at most.
If he cannot kill him Hua Huaixian in half a day, these thieves will have to escape first, otherwise they will be blocked in the city and will be completely wiped out.
With more than 100 personal soldiers under his seat, all the defenders around the county magistrate's office also understood Hua Huaixian's intention. Don't want to fight to the death with just a gust of passion, just go to the scene and fight and use the advantage of familiar terrain to delay time. You can win if you delay for half a day.
Hua Huaixian is very calm.
As a veteran with rich combat experience, he seems to be unable to pick out any burrs of his judgment and layout.
Moreover, he does not have the arrogance and unreasonable pride of many veterans, and he does it well when learning and applying it.
He even asked many sergeants to take advantage of the opportunity to light some haystacks, then used materials locally, covered a lot of wet thatch, and created pungent smoke in the streets and alleys.
But the actual effect made Hua Huaixian speechless.
The battle of Heshawa is so famous. I guess every general and every strategist who studies military tactics will repeatedly deduce it as a classic case.
The master who commanded the bandits behind this is probably very familiar with these tricks.
I guess when planning this battle, I thought it through thoroughly and regarded myself as the Tubo army at that time.
The leader must have thought about it countless times in his mind. If he had commanded the Tubo army at that time, what method should he use to eat the Heishawa in one bite?
This person gave the answer.
Only take one, regardless of the others.
More than three thousand thieves rushed into Yuyang County from the west, without any dispersion. A torrent followed the main road towards the county magistrate's mansion.
There are also an extraordinary proportion of archers in these more than 3,000 archers on both wings. They shoot when they see someone showing their heads, protecting the main army in the middle.
In Hua Huaixian's opinion, these thieves only had one morning, but the commanders of these thieves were also very clear that they also had one morning.
Their advancement seemed not impatient at all.
When they advanced to a densely packed place outside the county magistrate's mansion, they had to move forward for a few miles. They slowly cleared the obstacles, and it would take no more time to slow down.
The battle method is still the same, and it depends entirely on the archers on both wings.
When you see a figure shaking, you will ejaculate.
This time, the street fighting guerrilla that Hua Huaixian was looking forward to did not appear at all. Instead, it turned into an attack from the archers. The troops in the streets could only shoot from afar through the archers.
There are many bows and arrows transported from the armory of Yuyang County, but the number of archers on Hua Huaixian and others is too small.
Among the 1000 people who can shoot roughly accurately, no more than one hundred people can shoot.
The two sides shoot at each other, these hundred archers are really not enough to shoot.
More than 3,000 thieves advanced two miles in a calm manner, and only a few of the more than 100 archers left on Hua Huaixian's side.
You guys are playing like this, right?
You are just stubbornly advancing, right?
Then I'll leave.
Hua Huaixian is not stupid enough to ask you to come to the county magistrate's mansion, so can I move a place?
He patted his butt and moved to Chenghuang Temple.
All around Chenghuang Temple are homes and alleys.
However, what he didn't expect was that someone in this thief army had powerful qi-seeing techniques or had a sharp lookout whistle on a high place, and seemed to see his movements.
These thieves actually divided into four groups in an orderly manner, surrounding the City God Temple along the four relatively wide streets and alleys. By the time he realized it, it was already a turtle in a jar.
What made him even more speechless was that the thief army learned and used the methods he had just made smoke-making, and actually made several fires at the upper vent and put a lot of wet firewood on it. The rolling smoke poured in like a gray dragon into the streets and alleys of the City God Temple.
The soldiers in the streets were choked, but they didn't even dare to cough violently.
The bandit was very thief. When he heard someone coughing violently, he just called him to the arrow first.
Just like farmers catching mice, they just pour smoke and are not in a hurry to catch mice.
The arrows just greeted from afar, but the bandits behind did not enter the street fighting.
As a result, Hua Huaixian was no longer confident and doubted whether there were any arrangements behind these thieves, even if reinforcements came, they would be restrained.
In a place where he could not see, several war horses gradually appeared above a burning kiln not far from the City God Temple.
The people on the war horse were all wearing black cloth robes and soft armor inside. They were no different in their outfits, but one of them looked elegant and had a completely different temperament from the rest of them.
A burly man next to the man was also carrying a sword, and his eyes were full of light. He saw that his spirit was a cultivator with a high level of cultivation. However, he was obviously not confident at this time. He asked the middle-aged man who looked elegant in a deep voice, "Military advisor, are you too slow?"
