Late Tang

Guo Chongtao insisted on taking advantage of the victory to enter the pass, which was somewhat unexpected by Li Siyuan.

This time, Li Keyong gave them only one task for the surprise army, that is, when he attracted Li Quanzhong's troops in Yizhou, they surprise the army and captured the military capital in one fell swoop.This task is not easy, at least Li Keyong was not fully sure beforehand that they could really capture Junduguan, let alone that they could capture Junduguan so quickly.

Unexpectedly, they succeeded, and captured the military capital pass so quickly, and they only took 2 people to capture this pass, with less than [-] casualties.As a result, they still have enough energy to consider taking advantage of the victory to attack Youzhou.

This is very risky, although the information shows that there are only about [-] defenders left in Youzhou.And the main general Li Kuangwei is not a famous general.But Li Siyuan knew very well that the biggest danger after entering the customs was not Li Kuangwei, but the Qin army on the front line of Yanshan in the north of Youzhou.Shun, Tan, Ji, Jing, An, Ping, Li Jing's North Parallel Province six prefectures, living on the line of Yanshan Mountain, overlooking Youzhou.

The last time when Liu Yan, Liu Rengong, and Li Quanzhong fought for Youzhou, the Qin Army in Beiping Province did not move, but this did not mean that their threat did not exist.

But in the end, Li Siyuan agreed to Guo Chongtao's request to send troops.Except for him, basically all the generals supported Guo Chongtao's proposal. Even if Li Siyuan was the chief general, he could not forcibly veto their request.Guo Chongtao is now a rising general in Shatuo's army. The last time he won the four prefectures of Confucianism, Xin, Wu, and Gui with only one division, it is extremely dazzling.Right now, Li Keyong confers on him the military school of the Fan Han Mabu. This military position is of great importance, and it vaguely intends to replace Li Youjin, who just died, as the second member of the Shatuo Army.Although Li Siyuan was born and died for Li Keyong, this time he was only awarded the Commander of the Mabu Army, which is inferior to Guo Chongtao's Fan Han Mabu Dushu.

It would be a lie to say that Li Siyuan didn't have a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, but he hid this dissatisfaction very well.

Now Guo Chongtao is in the limelight, and his words are quite arrogant and domineering, he doesn't take him who is lower than his official position, but is the chief general this time, in his eyes.

"I hope you can continue to be arrogant!" In the study of the General's Mansion in the military capital, after learning that Guo Chongtao had captured the unguarded Changping City, Li Siyuan didn't show any expression.Changping was the last city between Junduguan and Youzhou. Li Kuangwei had already abandoned this city, and retreated all his soldiers and horses into Youzhou City for defense.

The Shunzhou Qin Army that Li Siyuan had been looking forward to for a long time did not take the opportunity to occupy Changping City, but remained silent, as if they were watching a play, which made Li Siyuan slightly disappointed.

"How could Li Jing let go of this opportunity to intervene in the situation in Youzhou? If I were Li Jing, I would definitely not let the Shatuo army occupy Youzhou so easily, and would definitely come to seize Youzhou. If you want to seize Youzhou, The last way is to stop the Shatuo army first, and then go back to deal with the Yiwu army in Youzhou City. Last time Li Jing was in Huaisi, facing Shi Pu and Gao Pian, this is how he shot. First blocked Gao Pian The Huai army in parallel, and then came back to capture Xu Su. Yes, Li Jing must have made arrangements, the Qin army must have ambushed outside the city of Youzhou, and laid out a big sheet waiting for Guo Chongtao to sneak in."

Li Siyuan was no longer a brat, years of fighting and fighting made him more scheming and his success became more and more serious.

Guo Chongtao's sudden rise has seriously threatened his status.This time, let Li Jing teach this arrogant kid a lesson on his behalf.

Li Siyuan was sitting on the Hu chair, propping his chin with one hand, his eyes were icy cold.

After a long time, he loudly called in a guard, "When will the follow-up reinforcements arrive?"

"Returning to the general, I still received the letter from my wife before evening. My wife has assembled her [-] female soldiers, and [-] infantry and [-] cavalry newly reorganized from Tatar, Xi, Han, Uighur and other ministries are coming. The cavalry can arrive tomorrow at noon, and the infantry can arrive at night."

Li Siyuan nodded, and waved his hand to let the guards back down.

When Guo Chongtao met his head and broke his blood first, he happened to lead the troops into the pass with his wife. At that time, with the [-] soldiers, even if the Qin army intervened, he would have the confidence to take Youzhou.

It was getting late, and night fell, like a black curtain, and there were only a few stars in the sky, emitting a bleak starlight.

The army is closed, and most of the [-] Shatuo troops left behind have fallen asleep. After fighting for days, they can finally sleep peacefully today.When it was closed, there were only a few hundred unlucky guys on duty cursing their bad luck secretly, while the cool night wind was blowing, listening to the chirping of insects, they were a little drowsy standing guard.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the star officer came to check the guard with a team of soldiers. The soldiers on guard reminded each other and shook their heads quickly to drive away the drowsiness.

Just as He Laoliu stood upright, his eyes turned and closed inadvertently, and suddenly a white snow came, and he couldn't help but exclaimed, "What the hell."

At this time, the star officer who happened to be patrolling beside him also attracted his attention, and a group of people tried their best to look around and shut him down.

Gradually, the white patch moved closer and closer.

He Lao Liu had already seen it clearly at this time, and shouted: "It's a flock of sheep."

It is indeed a flock of sheep, and it is a large flock of sheep, at least four to five thousand heads.Such a large flock of sheep suddenly appeared in Guanxia at this time.Things were a little weird, which aroused the vigilance of the star officer.

Could it be that someone drove sheep to the pass, trying to lure them out of the pass?

But this is also unlikely, right?

Moreover, during the day, General Guo led [-] troops into the pass, and even Changping in the east has been captured. At this time, where did the enemy come from?

He Laoliu looked at the large flock of sheep, and suddenly said: "Could it be that these sheep were raised in the Guan, someone drove them out during the day, and it just happened that we took down Guancheng today, and then, maybe, the sheep herder saw you Then it ran away, and at night, the sheep came back by themselves."

The old horse knows the way, and the sheep actually have this ability.

Although He Laoliu's words are a bit simple, but after thinking about it, it is indeed possible.The inspecting officer watched carefully, but there was no one except the large flock of sheep.

Everyone looked at each other, whether to catch this flock of sheep.

A few thousand sheep is indeed not a small number.

"Do you want to report to the general?" Someone asked.

The star officer thought for a while, "Why bother the general with such a trivial matter? Just open the door and drive the sheep into the city, and we will eat roast lamb tomorrow."

The officer thought about it, but in the end he didn't think there was any danger. The Yiwu Army had already fled to Youzhou City, and Changping to the east was also captured. At this time, there will be no enemy in the middle. Come.What's more, this is just a flock of sheep. In all likelihood, the sheep are really released during the day and come back by themselves at night.

A group of night watch soldiers who were bored suddenly became excited, and all laughed and asked the people below to open the door to herd the sheep.

The officers on the city let people herd the sheep, but on the other hand, they did not completely relax their vigilance. Instead, they asked people to pick up their bows and prepare. If the city gates were opened and enemy troops appeared outside, they could shoot immediately.

The gate of the city opened slowly, and the sheep bleating below began to enter the city. The enemy who worried the defenders on the city never appeared.

"Damn, it really is useless to worry, this flock of sheep is really the sheep in the military capital."

Everyone laughed and were discussing how to eat sheep tomorrow.

Under the bleak starlight, the sheep are entering the city.

Everything seemed to be in order, even the battalion of defenders who held their weapons before closing the door put away their bows and arrows at this time, and each yawned to get out of the way of the smelly sheep. .

No one in the city or in the city noticed that not all of the flocks were sheep.

Fu Cunshen was dressed in sheepskin, pretending to be a sheep, and followed the sheep, crawling forward on all fours. Beside him, there were soldiers also wearing sheepskins one after another.

It was getting closer, getting closer, Fu Cunshen was very nervous, but everything went well, they successfully stepped on the suspension bridge and crossed Haogou, and then entered under the bright bow and arrow ballista projectiles on the top of the city. into the city gate.

The Shatuo soldiers guarding the city gate all retreated into the city, letting the flock of sheep rush in without vigilance at all.

Twenty steps.

Ten steps!

Five steps!

They entered, under the cover of a flock of sheep, they entered Xiongguan, the military capital known as one of the two fortresses in Youzhou, under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Fu Cunshen slammed the sheepskin off his body, Huo Di stood up, and pulled the crossbow trigger to a defender officer who hadn't reacted at all.

The crossbow nail made a sharp piercing sound and went straight into the eyebrow of the officer, and the officer didn't know how he died until his death.

shhhhhh!

After shooting all seven crossbow nails at the enemy in front of him, Fu Cunshen had already dropped the crossbow, pulled out the two-handed sword on his back, and suddenly shouted: "Kill!"

One after another the sheep took off their sheepskins and stood upright. First they fired crossbow arrows, and then threw crossbows after the arrows were empty. They drew out horizontal knives, battle axes and other melee weapons, and rushed to kill them one by one.

The Shatuo defenders above and below the city were terrified. They even forgot to react for a while when they saw the sheep suddenly violently kill people!

A moment later, a shrill scream finally sounded at the gate of the city, "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

The alarm bells on the city tower rang in a hurry. Some defenders were rushing down the city, some were trying to hang up the suspension bridge, and some were running towards the ballista catapult...

At the city gate, this place has become a killing hell, with blood splashing, and the flock of sheep bleating and running around the city.

Li Cunshen and his subordinates had already captured the city gate, and more goatmen rushed in from behind.

With a bang, the Human Torch exploded among a group of Shatuo Army soldiers rushing over.

In a valley not far from the military capital, Yang Shihou's ears trembled a few times, and then he heard more explosions.A bright smile could not help showing on his face, he stood up suddenly from the ground, kicked the soldiers around him, and shouted loudly: "Get on the horse, get on the horse, it's time for us to land!"
