Back to Datang with weapons

Chapter 712 Zhou Bobo (please subscribe!)

Quzhou, Guard General's Mansion.

In the front hall, Song Dashan, the guard of Quzhou in armor, was pacing back and forth with a nervous expression.

At this time, Zhou Bobo walked in.

"General Song, I've already posted the tax collection notice. By then, we can collect a lot of money again!"

Hearing Zhou Bobo's words, one can know that they have done this kind of thing more than once, that's why they are so familiar with it, this has become their regular way of making money!
But this time Song Dashan didn't seem too excited when he heard Zhou Bobo's words. Instead, he asked, "Is there any change outside the city wall?"

After hearing this, Zhou Bobo knew what Song Dashan was worried about, so he said first, "Back to the general guard of Song Dynasty, there is nothing unusual!"

Then he smiled obsequiously and said, "General Song, the city wall of Quzhou is so strong, even if there is a small flying knife on that Twelve, it is absolutely impossible to break in!
And didn't the scouts sent out by General Song say that Zhang Twelve only brought a thousand cavalrymen -- bah, not even cavalry, what kind of donkeys and mules were used, I just laughed my ass off!Just relying on this group of mobs to enter Quzhou City?

Hehe, it's just a fool's dream! "

It turned out that Quzhou City was the first city that Zhang Twelve was about to arrive at, so many days ago, Song Dashan sent scouts to guard in Jinling City to spy on Zhang Twelve's every move!
So as soon as Zhang Twelve's team came out of Jinling City on the front foot, the scout on the back foot rushed back to report the news!
Song Dashan nodded when he heard this, but he still said worriedly: "Although I said that, but the general's right eyelid has been twitching these days, and I always feel that something bad is about to happen!"

Song Dashan's worry was not without reason, because he had also heard that Zhang Twelve's reputation was famous all over the world, mainly because he killed and retreated the Xiliang cavalry alone in Liangzhou City, forcing the Xiliang Kingdom to make concessions!
Compared with the cavalry of Xiliang, the officers and soldiers of Quzhou are not in the same combat effectiveness at all!That's why Song Dashan was worried!

Maybe guessing what Song Dashan was thinking, Zhou Bobo asked, "Is General Song worried about that twelve-year-old Xiao Li Feidao?"

Song Dashan didn't hide, nodded and said: "Yes! When Zhang Twelve was in Liangzhou, he defeated the Xiliang cavalry by relying on this little Li flying knife!

You also know that although there are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in our city of Quzhou, but they have not fought for many years, how can they compare with those Xiliang cavalry who have been fighting for many years?

Zhang Twelve is not even afraid of Xiliang cavalry, we people, I'm afraid it won't work! "

Zhou Bobo listened, smiled, and said indifferently: "General Song, what you said is wrong!"

"Oh? What are your thoughts?"

"General Song, we are not the same as when Zhang Twelve beat back the Xiliang cavalry!

Think about it, Zhang Twelve was able to defeat the Xiliang cavalry back then.Xiao Li's flying knife played a great role, but everyone has heard that Xiao Li's flying knife is similar to a bow and arrow, and it is a long-range weapon!

Although this type of weapon can both attack and defend a city, in comparison, the role of defending the city is much better than that of attacking the city! "

As a city guard, Song Dashan agrees very much with what Zhou Bobo said.

Defending the city and attacking the city are two very different types of work.

Some soldiers are good at attacking the city, but not good at defending the city.

In the same way, some soldiers are good at defending the city, but they are also not good at attacking the city.

And some weapons, such as bows and arrows, such as long-range weapons such as crossbows, are much more useful for defending the city than for attacking the city!

When defending the city, it is condescending and launches downwards. The attacking party has nowhere to escape and can only be shot.

Seeing Song Dashan showing approval, Zhou Bobo spoke even more vigorously!
"So you think, General Song, even if Zhang Twelve has Xiao Li Feidao, no matter how powerful it is, it is still better than Qiangnu, right?

Then let's treat him as a little Li Feidao can be worth a hundred crossbows - so what? "

Hearing this kind of analysis, Song Dashan stroked his beard and began to analyze.

If Zhang Twelve's Xiao Li Fei Dao can withstand more than a hundred crossbows, even if they are fired from below the city wall at the same time, the lethality itself will be greatly reduced when they reach the city wall, and they only need to hold a shield on the city wall. If you don't show your head, these hundred crossbows won't work, will they?
Moreover, can a little Li Feidao really be worth a hundred crossbows?
As Song Dashan who had never seen Xiao Li Feidao, he didn't really believe it!
Thinking about it this way, Song Dashan's face showed joy, because he felt that, based on such an analysis, this battle didn't seem to be very difficult!

But Zhou Bobo chased after the victory and said: "Zhang Twelve is too confident, he only brought out a thousand officers and soldiers, and according to the scout's report, apart from ordinary weapons, there were only about 200 of these officers and soldiers. With bows and arrows, just a few archers, what to use to attack the city?
And the twelve, I specifically asked the scouts, he was riding a yellow pussy horse, he had nothing else on him, and he didn't bring any weapons!
Hehe, in the eyes of his subordinates, he is not self-confident, but arrogant! "

As he said that, Zhou Bobo seemed to see that Zhang Twelve was captured by him, and all the property that Zhang Twelve stole from Zhou Yuanwai that should have belonged to him was taken back by him!
Thinking of this, Zhou Bobo burst out laughing!

And Song Dashan was infected by him, and laughed too!

They had only heard about how powerful Xiao Li Feidao was before, and thought that Xiao Li Feidao would be like a bow and crossbow. Now that they heard that Zhang Twelve didn't even have any weapons, they were even more fearless!

After being told by Zhou Bobo, Song Dashan was greatly encouraged, and he was not afraid at all!

"Zhou Yamen, no, Deputy General Zhou! I will now appoint you as the general's deputy general, and be responsible for defending the city this time!"

"Thank you General Song!"

Zhou Bobo was overjoyed, not only because he was suddenly promoted to lieutenant general from a small yamen servant, but also because he could stand on the city wall and command the officers and soldiers to take down Zhang Twelve!

"Deputy General Zhou, I will order you to go to the city wall to monitor every move outside the city. If the twelve comes, report it quickly!"

"Yes, General Song!"

After Zhou Bobo received the order, he hurriedly ran down.

Before Zhou Bobo came, Song Dashan was frowning.

After Zhou Bobo left, Song Dashan relaxed.

He also figured it out, Zhang Twelve brought a thousand officers and soldiers, and there were only 200 archers, and [-] archers wanted to take Quzhou City, it was a dream!
And in their city of Quzhou, the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers may not be very high, but the victory lies in the large number of people!
Moreover, there are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, and there are more than 2000 archers. This is only counting pure archers. If other officers and soldiers are also allowed to pick up bows and crossbows, this number will more than double!

When the time comes, let these people stand guard on the city wall. As long as Zhang Twelve and the others dare to come, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of arrows will rain down all over the sky like a rainstorm. How to survive!
Romantic Swordsman?

Hehe, can it be compared with thousands of archers?
Song Dashan, who had never seen the power of Xiao Li Feidao, naturally thought so. When he really saw Xiao Li Feidao, he might not think so!

………………

Zhang Twelve and the others rested in the woods for half a day.

In the afternoon, when the sun was setting and the sun was not so harsh, Zhang Twelve asked Liu Qun to notify him and prepare to go on the road.

And these officers and soldiers had rested for an afternoon, and they had already recovered their strength. At this time, the weather was getting cooler, and everyone packed up quickly, but they were on the road again!
Not only people rested, but those war horses, donkeys, and mules also drank enough water, ate enough grass, and rested in the woods for so long.

This time, the marching speed was much faster than in the morning. When night fell, Zhang Twelve saw the lights on the city wall of Quzhou from a long distance away!
At this time, after a day's journey, Zhang Twelve and the others were less than five miles away from the city wall of Quzhou!
Therefore, Zhang Twelve was not in a hurry. After all, the distance here is just right. Starting from here tomorrow, it will take less than half an hour to reach the city of Quzhou, and this distance is not too short. At least there is no need to worry about the surprise attack by the officers and soldiers of Quzhou City. — But this is really overthinking. The officers and soldiers of Quzhou City had the idea of ​​defending the city from the very beginning, and never thought of taking the initiative to attack!

Zhang Twelve once again asked Liu Qun to send an order, and everyone stopped here to set up camp.

The officers and soldiers of Deling tied up their mounts by the side of the road, and then took out the pot table from the carriage, and a dozen of them lit a bonfire and started cooking!
………………

On the Quzhou City Wall five miles away, today's Quzhou officers and soldiers have been busy for an unprecedented day.

Everyone's nerves were tense, and they looked outside the city wall nervously all day, but after waiting for a day, they didn't see anything unusual.

After night fell and the sky completely darkened, suddenly, in the woods south of the city wall, a fire suddenly lit up!
"There is a situation!"

The first guard officer and soldier who found out immediately shouted out!

"They're here!"

Others also followed the direction of his finger and saw that there were a lot of fire lights in the south direction about five or six miles away from the city wall of Quzhou. According to their experience, it should be the bonfire lit by the marching soldiers!

Everyone also knew that Zhang Twelve and the soldiers and horses he brought from Jinling were less than half an hour away from the city wall of Quzhou!
And now that the bonfire has been lit, it means that they will rest there at night, and they are afraid that they will attack the city early tomorrow morning!
Every city guard had different thoughts, but they had one thing in common, and that was their inner fear of Zhang Twelve.

To be honest, they have also heard the reason for Zhang Twelve's trip to the north this time, and they are skeptical about this matter, but they are eating royal meals, and the orders have been issued, even if they have some thoughts in their hearts, they can only hold back and say nothing!

And Zhou Bobo, who was just promoted to lieutenant general today, has been lying bored in the hole in the city wall to enjoy the shade since he came to the city wall. When he heard the shouts outside, he hurried out.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

"Deputy General Zhou, look!"

Someone pointed him to the bonfires on the south side of the city wall.

"That is……"

Zhou Bobo narrowed his eyes, then sneered, "They've already arrived! Hehe..."

Zhou Bobo is now eager to see Zhang Twelve appearing immediately, because in the eyes of Zhou Bobo now, Zhang Twelve is undoubtedly like an ATM. As long as Zhang Twelve is taken down, there will be no problem in the future. !

"Don't panic! Zhang Twelve is here to die! Look at their bonfire, but there are only a few dozen, you can imagine how many people they came this time!"

All the officers and soldiers looked at what Zhou Bobo said. Sure enough, there were not many bonfires in the distance. Based on their experience, Zhang Twelve brought only a thousand or eight hundred people!

More than 1000 officers and soldiers came to attack the city. For these officers and soldiers defending the city, it seemed to be a bit of a joke. This made them feel that the pressure of defending the city was not too great.

Some people have already started to wonder, this county magistrate is quite a shrewd person, why is he acting so recklessly now?
"You have also seen that Zhang Twelve is nothing to be afraid of at all, so don't worry everyone, just keep it safe! You all look after it here first, let me go back and report to General Song!"

After Zhou Bobo finished speaking, he went down the city wall and went straight to the guard's mansion.

Song Dashan was very excited when he heard that Zhang Twelve had arrived!

"It's coming so soon, okay!"

"Hehe, Zhang Twelve is rushing to die!"

"Haha, that makes sense!"

Song Dashan was successfully amused by Zhou Bobo's words.

After laughing a few times, Song Dashan said again: "Since they have already set up camp outside the city, they must have a good rest tonight, and they will attack the city tomorrow morning!

Deputy General Zhou, pass down the order to arrange a few people to stand guard on the city wall, while others rest on the city wall and face the battle tomorrow morning! "

After Song Dashan finished speaking, Zhou Bobo didn't answer immediately, but seemed hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Song Dashan asked curiously: "Vice General Zhou has something to say, but it's okay to say it!"

Zhou Bobo said this time: "General Song, in the opinion of my subordinates, Zhang Twelve and the others must have been exhausted after traveling a long distance from Jinling today, and they have no intention of fighting, so they set up camp immediately and rested on the spot. !

If we take advantage of the dead of night, when they are sleepy and weak, and send troops to attack, we will surely catch them by surprise! "

The reason why Zhou Bobo said this was not because he was so far-sighted, but for Song Dashan's sake, he did it entirely for his own benefit, that's why he said this!

Zhou Bobo wanted to overthrow Zhang Twelve just to get back his own property - of course he thought that all the property of Zhou Yuanwai must belong to him!

But he can't let other people know about this matter, such as Song Dashan in front of him, if he knows, what should he do if he shares it with himself?
What's more, not only will he not share with him equally, but he may even monopolize it himself, so he is not empty-handed?
