"But what I didn't guess was that you suddenly came to Chengcheng County. Master Dong, your soldiers, I watched from the side when I first entered the city, they are rare elites, I was thinking at the beginning, you must have the ability to train such a soldier, and now this idea has been confirmed. So I'm willing to tell you this, those in the city, the county lord and Liu Yan, I won't pay much attention to it after listening to it, and the others ...... To be honest, I'm afraid they won't understand. ”

Dong Ce nodded silently.

"By the way, there's one more thing, look at my brain, I almost forgot."

Li Keshou patted his head lightly and said, "I know about you and Liu Daguan, he wrote a note early in the morning for someone to send to the county office, and asked the county lord to take care of you." I burned it, and a small servant went to deliver a letter to you, but he didn't find you. If the city is broken, this matter will naturally not be a big deal, but if the city is not broken......"

He paused and said: "Liu Daguan has a deep foundation, although he is only a talent, but his uncle has been an official in several counties in Guanzhong, and now he is a magistrate in Xi'an Prefecture. It is the county lord who has always been polite and jealous of the Liu family, this person is arrogant and domineering, although you didn't treat him well, but in his opinion, it was a great shame. Such people, although they can't do things, but bad things are still ......"

Speaking of this, Li Keshou just kept silent and didn't say anything, but Dong Ce naturally understood what he meant.

He took a deep breath, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

It seems that this Liu family can't stay.

After saying everything that should be said, Li Keshou gave up his hand, and Dong Ce suddenly asked: "Master Li, take the liberty of asking, how many years have you been an official here?" ”

"Fourteen years." There was a hint of bitterness in Li Keshou's smile: "I have been the master for fourteen years." ”

Dong Ce was silent, this Li Keshou was really a model of talent, his mind turned, and he immediately had an idea.

Then he returned to the south gate.

Seeing him coming, Liu Ruozai said: "I was about to send someone to look for you, but it was just right, come and see those traitors." ”

Dong Ce answered yes and hurriedly walked to the side of the battlement and looked out.

There was another change in the invasion army.

At this time, the sun has risen high, the sun is not bad, and the body of the person who shines is warm and comfortable. It's a pity that the war is about to break out, destroying this great daylight.

It seemed that the army had finished breakfast, and most of them retreated, leaving a large open space in front. At this time, in the big tent, a person came out, and a waiting soldier led the war horse, and the man turned over and rode on, surrounded by more than a dozen cavalrymen.

This person should be a chaotic star.

Chaotian Xing defeated Tongzhou, and he is the closest to Chengcheng County, besides, the strength of the army is roughly the same, and today Liu Ruozai has already informed everyone that outside the city should be the headquarters of Chaotian Star.

This person is a general in the army, one of Gao Yingxiang's most trusted subordinates, Dong Ce has also admired the name for a long time, but if he is too far away, he can see an outline, and his face is that he wants to see it clearly.

When they came to the banner, they stopped.

Then, the fenced camp behind the tent was opened, and bands of cavalry rushed out, gathering behind and on both sides of the Celestial Star, forming an array resembling an extremely thin crescent-shaped array. The place where the crescent moon recesses is right opposite the south gate. There were very few of these cavalrymen with armor, only three or four of them in a hundred, and they were poorly equipped, and they couldn't tell what kind of weapons they were holding, as if they had spears and knives. But the number is too much.

The cavalry kept coming out of the camp, seemingly endlessly, and they had not finished walking for a while, and this crescent-shaped array was already two or three miles wide.

Many people in the city turned pale when they saw it, Liu Ruozai's face was solemn, and Zhang Cheng trembled all over.

After waiting for a while, it was finally over.

Dong Ce found that he had seriously underestimated the strength of this invading army, among the more than 30,000 people, he was afraid that the number of strong men could account for at least half, and there were about 2,000 cavalry alone! is worthy of being an old man who followed Gao Yingxiang's uprising, he is really powerful, but I am afraid that his subordinates are the strongest battalion leaders!

Otherwise, the average thief, under the total of 30,000, would not be able to muster 2,000 cavalry.

However, these two thousand cavalry, at least for now, are of little use. The siege was not carried out by cavalry, but by foot soldiers.

……

Two miles away from the city wall, under the banner of the Mixed Sky Star Horse, he squinted at Chengcheng County in the distance.

The distance of two miles is not very safe, if there is a Hongyi cannon, it can be easily bombarded, but Chaotianxing has been fighting for so many years, and he has never seen the Hongyi cannon of the official army, and he has even forgotten about it. It's a pity that there really isn't such a thing in the city.

The age of Chaotianxing is not very large, only about thirty years old, and he is not fierce, and he is even a little elegant and delicate. He had a fair complexion, good features, a medium and upward appearance, his hair neatly combed, and he wore no helmet, but a crown of amber hair, which was carved from a large piece of dark purple amber, not very gorgeous, but in its simplicity it was indescribably luxurious. On the amber crown, a jasper hairpin is inserted.

Amber of this age is natural, and such a large amber is extremely rare, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a rarity. The jasper hairpin is also extremely good in color. This crown is worth more than a thousand taels of silver.

The style of this crown was worn by the officials when they lived in their regular clothes, so it can also be imagined that its origin - most likely it was snatched by Chaotianxing after killing an official.

He wore neither armor nor a battle robe, but a brocade robe, which was made of the best Shu brocade and specially cut to make it easier to move. With a jade belt around his waist and soap boots on his feet, where does he look like a traitor and giant who is famous all over the world and hated by the imperial court? is clearly a young nobleman from a family, a young man, and a graceful and calm young nobleman.

He is a chaotic star, but his real name is Guo Rupan.

He raised his head to look at the hunting banner above his head, and then looked around, looking at the two thousand cavalry on both sides, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more calm.

He didn't pay attention to the small city in front of him at all.

Although he is young, Guo Rupan is an old man, Gao Yingxiang was in the first year of Chongzhen's uprising in Ansai, he followed the left and right, all the way to several provinces, thousands of miles, until now, it has been eight years.

The king had three battalions in his hands - not only the army, but the battalion was the largest of all the rebel armies, such as the 36th battalion used by the king himself and the 72nd battalion later. A battalion varies in size and number of people, with large ones of tens of thousands and small ones of five or six thousand. Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang naturally has more than one battalion under him, as his most trusted general, the three battalions in Guo Rupan's hands are all old battalions.

There are 30,000 people, and the people in it have followed Gao Yingxiang for a long time, and their loyalty is higher, and their combat effectiveness is also stronger, second only to the battalions under Gao Yingxiang's personal command.

Of course, this combat effectiveness is strong, but compared to other rebels.

But even so, Guo Rupan was confident that he would knock down the city in front of him before noon.

It's not the first time he's attacked the city, he knows how easy the Ming army's city is to fight now, and some don't really need to fight, as long as a few thousand people rush up, the defenders at the head of the city will flee in fright, and some even open the city gate and surrender.

This kind of thing has happened a lot. There is a morning breeze blowing on his face, cool and comfortable, as soon as he thinks that he will be able to knock down this city in a while, wanton abuse, Guo Rupan feels that his mood is unspeakable, and his elegant face is actually a little hideous. He looks like an elegant scribe, but in fact he kills people without blinking, and he is extremely fierce, and he is a sweet-mouthed and sword-bellied character. This is also normal, if you don't have such a character, how can you mix well in the rebel army. But among those who can achieve great things, how many simple ones are there? After all, there are advantages over others in some conveniences.
