Seeing Zhang Liao, Gu Yong introduced to Zhang Liao three newly recruited civil and military officials: Kan Ze, Dong Xi, and He Qi.

We met each other.

"Wenyuan, how is the situation?"

Gu Yongdao.

"Mr. Yuan Tan, Gao Shun, and Liao Hua led the army to Wucheng. General Gao finally received a letter.

Send troops to clear out the surrounding areas of Wucheng County and completely eliminate Yan Baihu, Yan Xing, Zu Lang, Qian Tong,

Zou Ta and other bandits, Zong Ba squeezed into Wucheng County. Now several groups of bandits, Zong Ba has become the turtle in the urn."

Zhang Liao said.

"In addition, Yan Baihu, Yan Xing and others sent letters, wanting to surrender! However, General Gao Shun refused."

Zhang Liao added

Gu Yong nodded.

Before setting off for the expedition, Xi Zhong warned Yan Baihu, Yan Xing, Zu Lang, Qian Tong, Zou Ta and others that they could not be trusted and must be completely annihilated.

The Xiakou Army does not need bandits and Zongba who do evil in the local area. Such people can only be punished.

joke!

All cats and dogs want to surrender.

If the Xiakou army fails, will they surrender obediently?

To put it bluntly, surrender is only a temporary measure, not a sincere surrender.

Wucheng City Lord's Mansion.

Yan Baihu, Yan Xing, Zu Lang, Qian Tong, Zou Ta and others gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Everyone, although we didn't belong to each other before, now that we are all together, we must work together. Otherwise, those who are waiting for us will die without a burial place."

Yan Baihu said.

"Master Yan, the Xiakou Army does not accept our surrender and wants to destroy us wholeheartedly. It is not that easy.

In total, we have more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the Xiakou Army only has more than 40,000 people. However, the Xiakou Army has 20,000 cavalry.

This is the most dangerous thing. If we want to break out of the encirclement now, we will be chased by the Xiakou cavalry and there is no way we can escape.

The only way is to defend the city and still have a chance of survival."

Zu Lang said.

Yan Baihu nodded after hearing this.

"Master Yan and Master Zu, can we consider having a few battles with the Xiakou Army?

Let’s kill a few Xiakou Army generals first to improve their morale. Now the morale of our brothers is not high, and we don’t have much hope of winning the battle.”

Qian Tong Dao.

"As the leader of the Qian family, it is not impossible to challenge a battle. The question is, are the Xiakou army willing to do it? Are they surrounding the city now, or do they not want to risk a battle?"

Zou Ta said.

"We can send someone to declare a challenge and see how the Xiakou Army responds."

Yan Xing said.

"Besides issuing a letter of challenge, is there any other way? It would be best if we could fight our way out. As long as we escape into the mountains, the Xiakou Army will not be able to do anything to us."

Yan Baihu said.

"Master Yan, although this idea is good, the possibility of success is zero. Even if we break out of the encirclement, can we outrun the cavalry of the Xiakou Army?"

Qian Tong shook his head and said.

"Damn it, we didn't offend that guy Qin Qi from Xiakou, why did he send troops to attack us?"

Zou Ta said.

"Master Zou, I heard that that boy Qin Qi from Xiakou sent troops under the order to attack Liu Yao in Yangzhou. We were just wiped out by the way."

Yan Xing said.

"In the past few years, we have dared to send troops to harass the area under the jurisdiction of Xiakou, and we have been shrinking our business in the Jiangdong area."

Qian Tong Dao.

"Master Zu, you have fought against the Xiakou infantry. How was their combat effectiveness?"

Yan Baihu said.

"Strong! Very powerful! The weapons in the hands of our sons instantly shattered into pieces as soon as they touched the weapons in the hands of the Xiakou soldiers.

Our soldiers slashed the soldiers of the Xiakou Army several times, but it had no effect at all. The soldiers of the Xiakou Army solved the problem with one blow.

Their bows and arrows have a very long range, much further than the bows and arrows in the hands of our soldiers. If they were to fight against each other, it would be a one-sided massacre.

In addition, I was caught off guard by the Xiakou Army and could not return to Jingxian County, so I had no choice but to flee here and join Master Yan."

Zu Lang said.

"Master Zu, are the weapons in the hands of the soldiers of the Xiakou Army really as mysterious as you say?"

Yan Xing said.

"Master Yan Er, I'm not telling lies at all. The Xiakou Army not only has powerful weapons, but they also form battle formations when fighting.

It's very powerful. It's like a black hole. When the brothers entered it, there were basically no bones left."

Zu Lang said.

Several bandit leaders took a breath after hearing this.

"The cavalry of the Xiakou Army are also very brave. Once they encounter us, our brothers are simply seeking death and cannot resist!"

Qian Tong Dao.

"Forget it, send someone to issue a letter of challenge to see if the Xiakou army has the guts to fight."

Yan Baihu said.

The main tent of the Xiakou Army:

When Gao Shun heard that Gu Yong was coming, he immediately ran to the cavalry division to meet him.

"Mr. Yuantan, thank you for your hard work! I heard that Mr. Yuantan has persuaded Wujun, Songjiang, Qiantang, Jiaxing and other cities to surrender."

Gao Shundao.

"General Gao, your humble position only occupies the family and some personal connections. It's nothing. It's your military's hard work."

Gu Yongdao.

"General Gao, by humble introduction, this is Kan Ze, Kan Derun..."

Gu Yongdao.

"There are only more than twenty days left before we can capture the whole of Yangzhou. Let's not waste time on Wucheng. We will start a strong attack tomorrow and strive to capture Wucheng City in one fell swoop."

Gao Shundao.

Several generals nodded.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Come in!"

Zhang Liao said.

"General Zhang, a soldier came from Wucheng City. He said he was here to declare a challenge and asked us if we have the guts to accept the challenge?"

Send orders to soldiers.

Afternoon!

Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, He Qi, Dong Xi and others' eyes lit up after hearing this.

"We have the advantage, why not fight with the bandits and Zongba? Isn't this just looking for trouble?"

Gu Yongdao.

"Mr. Yuantan, we can use the opportunity of fighting to kill a few more bandits and Zongba's leader. This will save a lot of effort when we storm the city."

Gao Shundao.

"Bring the visitor in?"

Zhang Liao said.

A bandit, Xiao Louluo, walked in and handed the bamboo scroll he was holding into Zhang Liao's hand.

"Go back! We will wait for the challenge at the south gate on time tomorrow."

Zhang Liao said.
