The army in the city, the tide generally recedes.

Speaking of which, the general of Liangchuan County can be regarded as a qualified general, although he retreated after the failure of the stealing camp, he did not mess up, but in the process of retreating, he gradually gathered the remnants of the army, and after leaving some corpses, he retreated to the city.

On the white horse, Guo Wentong held a sharp horse knife in his hand, looked at the city that had closed the gate, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

In the past seven days, he has been constantly attacking the city, and he is already sleepy and tired, but he still has not captured the city, which makes Guo Wentong hold back a fire in his heart.

"If I had a boulder like Wang Hongyi as rumored, this city might have been breached, right?" Guo Wentong shook his head and sighed softly.

Guo Wentong's subordinates, although there are a few strategists, there are some generals with good force, and there are many civil officials who govern the counties, but there are not many talented craftsmen.

But none of the craftsmen he found could make tools that were against the sky.

Guo Wentong even thought about sending someone to infiltrate Shu and steal the drawings, but he couldn't find who came up with those objects.

As for hard snatching...... Although Guo Wentong is very strong, he is not arrogant enough to feel that he has reached the point where he can snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

After cleaning up the battlefield, several generals returned to Guo Wentong's side.

At this time, General Qin Chuan, with gloomy faces, was annoyed by the sneak attack this time.

"How about the loss?" Guo Wentong's face was calm, he glanced at his general, and asked calmly.

"My lord, our casualties are five hundred and three. One of the generals replied, "Basically, one guard is over." ”

"What about Zhang Xiaocheng?" Zhang Xiaocheng is the general who attacked.

"There were less than 100 dead and wounded. At the mention of this, the faces of several generals were a little ugly.

"Zhang Xiaocheng, who was attacked by the other party, has some skills. Only from them on horseback, almost silent, can see that Zhang Xiaocheng is a careful and cautious person, with this person here to guard the city, I have been busy for seven days, but it is not wronged. Laughing lightly, Guo Wentong said.

Several generals heard Guo Wentong praise Zhang Xiaocheng, and they were a little unconvinced, if it weren't for the fact that they had been attacking the city for seven days and resting more at night, they would not have been given a chance to sneak attack.

If Zhang Xiaocheng is successful, wouldn't he say that he is not as good as this rat?

However, after listening to it, Guo Wentong mentioned the sound again, and the disbelief in the hearts of several people suddenly turned into surprise and doubt.

"As soon as the lord said, it was true, that they moved their hands and feet at the horses' hooves, and when they pursued them, they did not see the neighing of the horses, and they were all dressed in dark clothes......

"However, this gave me a new plan. Looking up at the sky, Guo Wentong said.

Several of the generals looked at him in confusion.

"Zhang Xun, how much grain and grass does our army have?" asked Guo Wentong to Zhang Xun, who was also in charge of grain and grass among the generals.

"Lord, our army's food and grass are about enough for our army to eat for about ten days. Zhang Xun replied truthfully.

"Ten days?"

Guo Wentong frowned, there is really not much grain and grass for about ten days. The horses of the army consume a lot of food, so it is necessary to speed up a bit.

"That being the case, give the order to go down, rest for the time being tonight, send men to defend against the enemy and steal the camp again, and rest the rest of the people to rest in their clothes. After thinking for a long time, Guo Wentong suddenly opened his mouth and said in a deep voice.

In the blink of an eye, he commanded: "Let the city respond, open the city gate for me tonight at all costs." ”

In the middle of the night, there was a loud rumble in the sky.

Dark clouds churned in the sky, and after a while, big drops of rain fell to the ground.

The soil, which was already dry, slowly moistened with the rain.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

The rest of the army, under the cover of heavy rain, moved towards the city.

In the rain, the county town of Liangchuan became more and more blurry.

The general of the county at this time was a middle-aged man of thirty-four or five years old, and Zhang Xiaocheng was standing on the city wall at this moment, looking into the distance.

The direction he was looking at was the location where Guo Wentong's army was encamped, but in the rain and fog, he could hardly see anything clearly.

In the first half of the night, Zhang Xiaocheng led a thousand elites to attack Guo Wentong's camp.

It's a pity that Guo Wentong is too cautious, and after just rushing in, he was discovered by Guo Wentong, and finally had to turn back, and the soldiers were naturally tired when they went out overnight.

"In the first half of the night, I finally let out a bad breath and boosted my morale!" thought about it, and felt a little more relaxed.

"General, although it is an August day, but the rain is cold, you better take shelter from the rain!

A veteran soldier on the side came over and persuaded him.

Zhang Xiaocheng sighed: "I'll go down to shelter from the rain in a while." ”

If he falls, it's really hard to say how long this city will last.

Last night, he was almost attacked by Guo Wentong's men and horses, but he led his own soldiers to fight down, as for Taishou, he was a civilian official and couldn't go into battle.

But if it goes on like this, it's not always a way, how can Guo Wentong's army be repelled?

The more I think about it, the more troubled I become.

Suo shook off the water droplets from his bun and turned to walk towards the tent under the city wall.

Because of his irritable mood, the Liangchuan County City Guard at this moment didn't notice it at all, and in the direction he was paying attention to, there was a black press, under the cover of rain and fog, coming this way!

"Listen to my orders, lie down a hundred meters away and wait for Neiying, once the city gate is opened, attack immediately!" Looking at the city not far away, drenched in rain and fog, and unable to see the real city at all, Guo Wentong gave an order.

"No!" 5,000 people, under the cover of rain and fog, headed towards the county seat.

Because it was late at night and in the midst of heavy rain, the defenders on the city wall could not light torches, and the moonlight was dull, and for a while, they could not detect the enemy attacking again.

Of course, no matter how heavy the rain is, no matter how dark the night is, it can be seen within 100 meters, so these 5,000 people all stayed 100 meters away.

The crackling raindrops fell and fell on Guo Wentong, who was no longer young.

Guo Wentong's army was well-trained, silent, most of them were ambushed, some were still preparing some tools, and only one pro-general led fifty pro-soldiers, guarding Guo Wentong every inch.

"Lord, I don't know if it can be done tonight. ”

The enemy will attack in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, he will attack by himself, and there is an internal response, which is a surprise, but if you want to succeed, it depends on luck.

Guo Wentong's face was expressionless, letting the raindrops fall, and said, "Wait and see." ”

On top of him, in the pale cyan clouds, a purple qi stood violently, fluctuating, and faintly, some kind of fluctuation spread out.

At this moment, a sound of killing alarmed Guo Wentong, and then, there was a gong at the gate of the city, the soldiers were alarmed, and the regiment united into a formation.

"Lord, do you want to attack?" Seeing this, the general said to Guo Wentong: "It's late, maybe it will be delayed!"

While speaking, the sound of killing in the distance was intense, Guo Wentong frowned tightly, and said: "It's too early, wait!"

After a while, as soon as the city gate moved, Guo Wentong immediately ordered: "March, use fire oil." ”

The fire oil has long been brought, even if it rains, a few barrels of fire oil are splashed, and the fire is burning and the branches are thrown down, and the flame is blazing.

In an instant, the war drums and horns sounded in unison, and thousands of people shouted "Kill!" like a tsunami.

There was an immediate chaos in the city, and in the midst of the shouts, the gate was opened in an uproar, and the army that had been waiting for a long time poured into it in an instant, holding long knives and cutting down people.

In the darkness, the sword light flew, sparks flew everywhere, and the sound of killing was everywhere.

The earth-shattering sound of killing finally woke up the guard who had just fallen asleep in the tent, and he jumped up suddenly, slept because he was dressed together, grabbed his weapon, and rushed straight out.

What catches your eye is the battlefield where two armies kill each other.

Looking at the thousands of soldiers under the city who were pressed by the darkness and pounced like hungry wolves, only one thought came to Zhang Xiaocheng's mind: "So fast?"

Although Guo Wentong stepped forward to supervise the battle, he did not enter the city, which was too dangerous.

At dawn, finally a general reported: "My lord, the county has been cleared. ”

Guo Wentong stopped talking, entered the city, and went to the yamen.

The yamen was not deserted at this time, hundreds of soldiers were carrying all kinds of attacks, cleaning, dragging corpses to the cart, one by one busy panting and sweating.

"The lord is invited, the officials and generals are inside. As soon as he saluted and invited him in, Guo Wentong entered the gate and walked towards the lobby.

I saw that there was chaos under the eaves of the corridor in the corridor, all of them were soldiers, and a large number of officials were detained.

In the heavy rain, Guo Wentong finally led the army into the county town, but he was not in a very good mood at this time.

The army of Liangchuan County is even more elite than Guo Wentong imagined.

Zhang Xiaocheng not only trained his troops well, but also was very loyal and brave, and was besieged by several generals, fighting without surrendering. In the end, seeing that the general trend was gone, he would become a prisoner and kill himself, which made Guo Wentong sigh.

In Guo Wentong's view, although this person is unknown, he is much more courageous than those so-called celebrities and famous generals in the city.

Such a person is most appreciated by Guo Wentong, but the other party just gave an incompetent person to be a loyal minister and died.

The occurrence of such an incident made Guo Wentong's mood not very good.

To compete for the world, what is needed is such a general, each of whom can increase a lot of qi and strength, and now he has died, which really makes him feel distressed and pity.

The pro-generals followed suit, and Guo Wentong only walked in front.

When the soldiers who were still cleaning along the road saw them coming, they stepped back one by one and bowed their heads to give way.

"Lord, this is a residence, very clean, no dead people, no blood, you can rest for a while, a night of rain fighting, you can't rest without resting. The pro-general said.

There are several large trees planted in this courtyard, there are flower beds on the side, and there are wings on the left and right sides of the main house.

When I went in, I saw that I had already set up breakfast, Guo Wentong also felt tired, after all, he was not a young man, he went up to sit, so he ate and ate, waved his hand, and said: "Yes, I will sleep first after eating, and it will not be too late to deal with things when I wake up - basically you know what to do." ”

"Yes, I'll give the order. The pro-general bowed his head in response.
