Until Li Tianqu and his group, Zhao Lu, Zhao Chang and Zhao Lu quickly climbed to the city tower, they could hear the sound of horns in the distance, and countless black dots appeared densely from the mountains and fields on the other side.

It seemed that more than a dozen nests of ants gathered into a large area, and the formation of moving forward was really not as strict as the formation. However, as the black spots appeared in the eyes of the generals defending the city of Huaiyang continued to increase and grow, the huge scene formed just by the number of people did not help but feel a little thrilling.

The officials and soldiers guarding the city at Huaiyang City were also nervous, and the young and strong in the city were inevitably nervous. The vigilance continued to gather thieves from afar from a distance to the city walls. More people were ready to carry the wooden rocks onto the baffle at any time according to the orders of the generals and officials of the army. The golden juice and oil in the urn pot were about to be ignited. Other cities were almost in place at this time. Zhao Yu presided over the presidency to repair dozens of crossbows, making a muffled sound of creaking and about to be turned on.

Rows of crossbowmen were also arranged neatly at the battlements of the city walls, staring at the movements of the thieves outside without blinking. Li Tianqu turned back and looked back, and saw some citizens, women and children delivering water and meals at the gate of the city. Although they couldn't help but scream, the team of civilians rushed here bravely and prepared to replenish the reserve clusters of arrows and rolling stones at any time. The military academy was confident and had a loud voice. Although the thief army had arrived, the city was maintaining order and did not fall into panic.

As the vast crowd gathered, a group of light cavalry thieves rushed back and forth in front of the city walls, and they were also quite proud. Zhao Lu, the eldest son of Zhao Lu, probably saw the flags raised by the opposite side, snorted coldly and said, "It turns out that the one who arrived again this time is Wang Bo, another general under Huang Chao."

Zhao Chang pressed the hilt of the sword between his waist and looked at him and said, "It is reported that this thief was ordered by Huang Chao and led a 50,000 army to attack Fengxiang with the thief leader Shangrang. Fortunately, Zheng Situ built the city chassis, repaired the equipment, trained the soldiers, and secretly asked the neighboring generals to join forces to fight the thief. Wang Bo and the thief leader Shangrang thought that Zheng Situ was just a scholar, careless and underestimated the enemy. The thief was rampant. He was met with Zheng Situ and the thief. Cheng Jie, the commander of Jingyuan, set up an ambush on Longwei Slope. The commander of Tang Jie in Shuofang set up an ambush on Longwei Slope and was beheaded for more than 20,000 yuan and buried more than ten miles. Since then, the thief did not dare to look west for a while. Fortunately, he has saved the dragon body of the thief and has not fallen into the hands of the thieves..."

Li Tianqu glanced at Zhao Chang when he heard this, and thought to himself that Wang Bo, a thief general under Huang Chao, had little reputation in history, and the three brothers of the Zhao family were good at using troops. According to history, when Huang Chao led the army to besiege Chenzhou, they still fought a few beautiful battles first. In fact, they had long paid attention to following Huang Chao's rebellion and often led the army's thief leader. Before the confrontation, they had already made a rough prediction of his character and ability to use troops.

As the thieves swept across the city three or four hundred steps away from Huaiyang City, Li Tianqu found that although the opponent was full of people, although the momentum was terrifying, the troops of tens of thousands of people were moving, it was also the easiest to see whether this army was well-trained.

After all, Li Tianqu has seen many National Day military parades in later generations. In this comparison, how could the military appearance of those outside the city, which was large in numbers, look like cattle and sheep that were driven by several shepherds and rushing forward in chaos?

Since the rebellion, Huang Chao has experienced several ups and downs. When he moved to the Central Plains, the anti-military forces grew to more than 300,000. However, he later parted ways with Wang Xianzhi, and in the later Anhui and Hunan territory were defeated in Anhui and Hunan. Tens of thousands of people were killed in Shenzhou. He suffered heavy losses when he was killed in Lingnan. He was defeated in Jingmen and was defeated. He was killed by the famous general Gao Pian of the Tang court and was even forced to withdraw from Chang'an under the joint siege of various vassal states led by Zhu Wen, Li Keyong, Wang Chongrong and other warlords, and was forced to withdraw from Chang'an under the joint siege... and he wandered everywhere, without a long-term and stable base. In theory, the family should have fought almost the same battle...

However, when Huang Chao made a comeback and came to Tongguan, it was rumored that he had hundreds of thousands of people, and even if he withdraws from Guanzhong, there is still an army of at least 150,000.

After all, it was because of the despair of the Tang Dynasty. No matter how strong Huang Chao was, there were always a large number of poor people who had no way to survive and took risks and simply sacrificed their lives to rebel. The momentum of such rebellion still grew rapidly like a snowball, and it was completely wiped out...

However, Li Tianqu looked at the scattered thieves in front of the city and thought in his mind: How many of this group of thieves are refugees who have just thrown their hoes and picked up swords and guns? Even if they have killed people and become more and more cruel, they are not afraid of cannibalism and well-trained elite military soldiers. How many tough battles have been fought in the anti-army soldiers who have just been pulled into the gang? Where can I have time to sharpen them into a battleable army?

"General Li Du, it seems that there are about 20,000 or 30,000 thirty thousand people who arrived at the city today... You seem to be thinking about it, but I don't know how it sounds in your heart?"

While thinking about it, Li Tianqu saw Zhao Chang turn his head and say to him, and then smiled coldly: "I am just looking at what this group of mobs will plan, and I am waiting for the benefactor to issue an order to order us to leave the city to destroy the thief."

Not only Zhao Chang, but also Zhao Qian, Zhao Qian also looked towards Li Tianqu. Zhao Qian said, "Now the soldiers invaded the Chao thief under the city, which is even more powerful than Meng Kai's thieves. But Li General still thinks that our army should open the city to fight to defeat the thief army?"

Nonsense, the monk opened the door to fight with the thief, and he won every battle, and the thief became even more angry... According to the historical books, this is what you did?

Although he thought so, Li Tianqu saluted Zhao Feng on his face and said, "Yes! The general thought that the thieves gathered together with ants, and the power of the ants was like scattered soldiers and bravery, and even if the power was not enough to be afraid. Now, taking advantage of the fact that the thieves in Huang Chao had not arrived in person, but could open the city and attack quickly. One or two battles killed others and defeated the thieves first...

Moreover, according to the last general's view, if the bandits and the army had not been surrounded and attacked fiercely, they must not rely solely on the city to defend the enemy. Otherwise, if the morale of the army will be destroyed for a long time, the situation will inevitably be even more dangerous and urgent. Therefore, with a legitimate and proactive attack, the terrain will be suppressed and the desire of the soldiers and civilians in Huaiyang to fight to the death, one will rise and the other will be reduced, and the city will be defended!"

Zhao Feng, Zhao Chang and Zhao Feng smiled at each other when they heard this. Of course, what Li Tianqu said was coincident with their strategy of defending the enemy. Zhao Chang had also taken the armored robe from his side and said loudly: "My brothers are indeed not wrong with General Li, okay! Then you gather the cavalry of your troops and follow me to lead a cavalry out of the city. You can't let the thieves and rioters have a chance to breathe, and you are about to defeat the morale of the thieves and the army first!"

Li Tianqu immediately took the order, turned his head and saw Wang Yanzhang standing tall. Before he could speak, Wang Yanzhang grinned, held the big gun with one hand, clenched his fist and patted his chest with one hand, and said boldly: "What you said is exactly what I want. Let's fight out of the city in one go, and want to gain fame, and take advantage of this opportunity now!"

They looked at each other and smiled. Li Tianqu and Wang Yanzhang rushed to the top of the city with An Renyi and put on their armor. After a moment, the inside of the gate of Huaiyang City shouted, the sound of weapons being sheathed, the sound of metal friction, and the sound of war horses being neighed. About two thousand cavalrymen were also like Li Tianqu, Wang Yanzhang and others, who began to prepare for the battle.

The anti-army troops gathered outside Huaiyang City still seemed to be visiting the morning market and attending temple fairs, but the troops were marching towards the city wall in a very chaotic manner. Although the vanguard was about to set up a formation three or four hundred steps away from the city wall, the soldiers were flocking to shoulder for a while, and they were about to stand in a queue, and it would still take some time...

However, at the same time, the gate on one side of Huaiyang City had been opened, and the suspension bridge that was half pulled was slowly lowered. The rumbling sound of horse hooves became increasingly dense, and finally another command suddenly sounded at the gate of the city: "Get out of the city! Charge!"
