Zhou, Niutou garrison.

The garrison is located on the hillside. The walls on the left and right sides extend forward, blocking the way up the mountain. The two walls are shaped like ox horns, and there are many arrow towers in the middle. The terrain is higher, so it is called the Niutou garrison.

At this moment, the soldiers on the city wall were running back and forth.

The sergeants occupied battlements one after another, holding crossbows and aiming at the outside of the city.

A steady stream of soldiers rushed up the city wall, some quickly walked onto the tower, and slowly aimed their ballistae into the distance.

On the tower at the main gate, Wang Jingjun, accompanied by several close associates, looked into the distance in a panic.

Beyond the hillside, dust billows.

There is already a lot of flying sand outside the fortress, but at this moment, outside the hillside, it is filled with yellow sand, like another world, which makes people unable to see clearly, and the yellow sand in the sky is still increasing, and the entire Niutou garrison seems to be surrounded by yellow sand.

They are all occupied by yellow sand, like a light boat in a sea of ​​sand.

The soldiers stationed on the city wall were a little scared at this moment.

Wang Jingjun's face turned pale. He looked around and asked, "How many enemies are there?"

The deputy general said calmly: "The number of enemies should not be large."

"They are pretending to be cryptic. They tied branches to their horses and ran back and forth to scare us, thinking that they were outnumbered."

"I think if their numbers are really large, they don't need to intimidate us in this way. They probably don't have many troops and can't attack by force, so they want to intimidate us."

Wang Jingjun listened to what he said, but his face was still ugly.

Wang Jingjun has a rugged appearance, a tall stature, and is quite intimidating, a bit tall, but the fear in his eyes makes him not look so majestic.

"When Hu Luguang came, he was in the same posture. I thought there were few people, but when he came out of the city to fight, there were more than ten thousand cavalry."

"How do you know they didn't do this on purpose to make us think they have fewer people?"

The deputy general was immediately speechless.

He had no choice but to persuade: "General, you don't have to worry. Tianzhu and Xin'an Second Guards are very close to us. If they make such a noise, they will definitely be noticed, and they will send reinforcements soon."

"Yes! Yes! That's it! This is how Hu Luguang defeated the second line of reinforcements in the first place!"

Wang Jingjun was even more frightened now.

In the past, Wang Jingjun was favored by Yu Wenhu, who allowed him to sit in charge of three garrisons, absorb the dead people who fled from Qi State, organize them into an army, and then plunder the garrison towns around Qi State.

Everything was going well at first, until one day, a new governor named Hu Luguang was appointed.

This general who used to be brave, aggressive, and extremely confident had his self-confidence knocked away, and he almost changed as a person. He never sent troops to attack Qi again.

The lieutenant-general was originally very calm, but when his commander-in-chief said this, he suddenly panicked.

Just before the general issued any orders, the enemy rushed out from the yellow sand in the sky.

Some soldiers pushed a tall shield cart and tied it with wood to make a huge shield with wheels underneath. The soldiers on the city wall could not wait for orders and began to shoot arrows to meet them. The arrows shot up into the air like raindrops.

They fell down, and most of them were blocked by these shield chariots. After the shield chariots, there were ram chariots used to attack the city gates, and soldiers raised ladders. They were moving very fast.

Sure enough, there are not many of them.

In a moment, the road was crowded with charging Qi people.

Light cavalry swept the formation from both sides, and the masked general charged forward. After firing a round of arrows, he quickly rotated to the second team.

A soldier holding a large shield stood in front of Wang Jingjun.

Wang Jingjun was still observing the number of enemies at this moment, with a frightened expression on his face, looking around, but he did not issue military orders, or in other words, he did not know what military orders to issue.

The deputy general said quickly: "General!! The city must be defended in batches. The east side has the most rams and shields!!"

"Ah, go to the east city! You quickly lead the troops to the east to repel the enemy!"

"only!!"

Just when military orders were issued from everywhere to move the troops to the east city, the shield chariot stopped, but the charging chariot changed its direction, and the soldiers' main attack direction changed rapidly.

The enemy's flag was raised again, and the trumpet sound became different, which represented a change in the direction of the main attack and the feint attack.

The Qi army mobilized quickly, and Wang Jingjun also discovered the enemy's movements and quickly ordered the mobilization again.

The soldiers in the city had just rushed to the east, and then heard the order to go west. Suddenly, the two armies collided, the generals questioned, and there was chaos on the city wall.

The two sides constantly changed the focus of attack and defense, and only a moment later, the decision was made!

Qi people put up ladders on the city wall one after another, shouting to climb up to the city, and their rams kept hitting the city gate. The city gate groaned violently and was on the verge of collapse.

The Zhou people and soldiers are still being dispatched.

Wang Jingjun looked into the distance, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"General!! The enemy has boarded the west gate wall!!"

"General!! General Wang has been killed!!"

"General! The west city gate has been captured!!"

Scouts kept bringing news from far away.

The garrison cities of Qi and Zhou occupied a large area. The generals stood on the towers and could not know what was going on in the distance at any time. The transmission of news took time, as did the movement of soldiers.

Running from the east city gate to the west city gate would take a long time unless you ride a horse.

When Wang Jingjun learned that the city gate had been lost, the enemies might have already begun to charge towards him.

Wang Jingjun didn't dare to delay, so he immediately led the people around and rushed down the tower.

"Get my horse!!"

"Retreat from the back mountain!!"

The Qi soldiers rushed up to the city wall, and then began to fight on the city wall. Facing Qi soldiers several times their size, the Zhou soldiers retreated steadily.

The border soldiers killed each other. They had armor and rushed directly into the crowd. They lost their long soldiers and slashed left and right with knives. The Zhou people screamed and fell from the city wall. Some people shouted: "Kneel down."

The earth will not kill!!”

"Kneel down and don't kill!!"

Zhou soldiers began to throw away their weapons and kneel on the ground. Some soldiers opened the door, and the knights rushed in from several city gates and entered the city.

The people in the city were too frightened to go out and hid in their houses, hugging each other and crying loudly.

The knights marched along the alleys and fought all the way to the outside of the official office.

Some military officials led the knights out to fight. After a while, only some corpses were left. The knights rushed into the official office and captured prisoners everywhere.

Liu Taozi rode a blue lion and led the troops into the Niutou garrison in a swaggering manner.

Liu Chengcai looked around and grinned, "General, in the seventh year of Tianbao, I came here with General Hulu. We besieged Niutou and defeated the second line of reinforcements that came to rescue. Hahaha, I didn't expect that today I

Here we go again, even entering the city!"

He looked at the lush mountains and forests in the distance and shook his head disdainfully, "No matter how strong the city is, it will have no effect at all if it falls into the hands of these incompetent people."

Yan Heijian led his soldiers and escorted many prisoners to greet them at the city gate.

Seeing Liu Taozi, Yan Heijing asked the prisoners to kneel down and pay homage.

Most of these prisoners were generals and military officers who had no time to escape. These people were well-behaved. At this moment, they saluted Liu Taozi respectfully and did not yell or curse to act like loyal ministers and righteous men.

Zhou and Qi had a somewhat special relationship, especially on the frontier. People in the two places did business together from time to time, and there was no blood feud like the one among the superiors.

"General, the official office has been captured. Wang Jingjun escaped and he was not captured."

Liu Taozi didn't say anything. Liu Chengcai hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General, there are tens of thousands of civilians in Niutou garrison and a lot of supplies. I'm going to prepare the carriages and horses?"

"We won't plunder, I want to occupy this place."

Liu Taozi looked at Yan Heijuan and issued a military order, "Gather the troops and ask them not to burn, kill and loot in the city. Send people to take care of the granaries in the city, count the military merits, work out the rewards for the sergeants, and ask Beishuo to send troops

The officials will take over this place and manage it."

"only!!"

Yan Heijing quickly saluted.

Liu Chengcai was stunned and said again: "General, the enemy has three garrison watching each other. As the front line, we occupy this place and have to work hard to guard it. It is far away from us and very close to the enemy. Their cavalry can kill here in an hour.

, I’m afraid it won’t do any good.”

"Then just take down those two garrison troops."

Liu Chengcai was stunned for a moment, "Wei"

The scouts rode fast horses and charged along the road. No one along the way dared to stop them and all gave way.

In this way, they arrived at Wanshou garrison without any hindrance, and the scouts hurried to see Potara Ku.

At this moment, Potara and Zu Jue were sitting in the house, and Potara was looking through the books in his hands.

These books are extremely rare and do not look like ordinary things.

Podoro looked at the yellowed book and marveled. He carefully opened the front and saw a series of notes. It was as if he was afraid that others would not be able to understand, so he left extremely detailed notes.

Podoro watched it carefully, really because he was afraid that he wouldn't understand.
