I'm a marquis in Datang

During this time, Liu Hongcheng has been preparing for the battle.

Prepare defensive equipment, recruit soldiers to garrison the city, raise food for long-term preparations, and strengthen the walls and gates of Zhangye County to continuously strengthen the defense.When Liu Hongcheng got the news that Du Qi was killing him, he went to sit on the tower in Zhangye County in person.He is now the governor of Ganzhou, in charge of the military and government.

Jurisdiction, great power.

Now in the hands of Liu Hongcheng, 3 elites have been recruited, which is the limit he can recruit.If he fought Du Qi's army head-on, Liu Hongcheng would not be sure, but right now he is only in charge of defense, so even if there are only [-] people, Liu Hongcheng still has certainty, he believes in himself

Can hold the county seat.

After several months of delay, the situation will be different.

Liu Hongcheng himself was born in a soldier, so he was in command, and his control over the officers and men in the army was also extremely strict.All the soldiers were carefully selected and arranged by him to ensure that nothing would go wrong.Even Xia Guo

Liu Hongcheng had enough confidence to block the attack of the large army.After all, Zhangye County, which he was guarding, was already fortified.

Liu Hongcheng was standing on the city tower at the moment, leaning his hand on the city wall, looked at Guo Zhao, the aide at the side, and said, "Mr. Guo, the army of the Xia Kingdom is now slaughtering, and according to the news from the sentry, there are at least one hundred thousand troops. ,even

There are also elephant soldiers.This battle is quite stressful for us.You said, can we hold on in the end? "

Even if he is guarding, Liu Hongcheng is under great pressure.

After all, defense is not easy.

Guo Zhao smiled slightly, then said: "In my opinion, if you hold on for a long time

It may not be easy for the county seat.Unless, we can dispatch surprise soldiers and defeat Du Qi.Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to win this battle.Not to mention victory, it is already quite good if we can retreat in the end. "

Liu Hongcheng said: "Sir, do you have a plan?"

Guo Zhaodao: "There is indeed a plan, but it can't be called a plan.

It is a simple and common strategy. "

Liu Hongcheng said: "Please enlighten me, sir."

Guo Zhao said seriously: "The easiest way is to pretend to surrender. Then, we lead the army to surrender to Du Qi, and let Du Qi's army enter the city. Du Qi entered the city smoothly and mastered the defense of the city. Then Du Qi's army

If you are in the army, you must enter the barracks to rest.When the time comes, we will turn against the water and blow up the camp.As long as the gunpowder is ambushed in advance, it is not difficult to detonate the camp. "

After a pause, Guo Zhao continued: "It's just that after this method is implemented, our soldiers will also die. If there is no one of us in the camp, it is obvious to tell Du Qi that there is a fraud. There is no silver 300 taels here. .

So if you want to be successful, you can only be ruthless to yourself and ruthless to the enemy. Only in this way can you achieve success. "

Liu Hongcheng frowned.

This plan would cause injuries to his own people. After all, after the gunpowder exploded in the camp, it was impossible to say that only people from Xia Kingdom were bombed, and people from Datang were not.

This is a strategy of killing one thousand enemies and harming oneself by eight hundred. It is not a good strategy.

Chapter 1183

please fight

Guo Zhaodao: "Captain, if you don't adopt this strategy, you can only adopt a strategy of resistance. Let's resist for a while and make a decision according to the situation."

Liu Hongcheng nodded and said: "Mr. Guo, I also feel that we should resist for a while before talking. Besides, we are officials of the Tang Dynasty, so we surrendered to Du Qi immediately.

Du Qi wouldn't believe it.On the contrary, we resist for a while, and when we really can't stop it, we will consider the method of false surrender.Only in this way can Du Qi truly believe it. "

Guo Zhao nodded and said, "What the governor said is true."

"Report!"

At this moment, a soldier came to Liu Hongcheng's side and said, "Captain Liu, the latest report from the sentry, the army led by Du Qi is far away from us.

Our county seat is less than ten miles away, and we are about to arrive. "

"Explore again!"

Liu Hongcheng gave an order.

He looked at the official road in the distance, and it was only ten miles away, which would not take long for Xia Guo's army marching in a hurry.It won't be long before Du Qi's army will arrive.

Liu Hongcheng waited quietly, time passed little by little, when

When Liu Hongcheng saw a mighty army appearing on the official road in the distance, he knew someone was coming.Liu Hongcheng and Guo Zhao did not stay on the top of the city, but stood aside to direct.

This is to avoid being bombarded by mortars.

It would be too pitiful if he was directly bombed to death while commanding and shouting on the tower.Not long after, Xia Guo's army lined up.The black army lined up, the armor was shining, and under the golden sun, the entire army outside the city

Exuding unparalleled vigor, very captivating.

Du Qi's army approached the city.

Du Qi straddled his horse, looked up the tower, and shouted, "Where is Liu Hongcheng?"

Hiding in the crowd, Liu Hongcheng shouted: "Du Qi, if you want to attack, attack, why do you have to act like a little girl. I, Zhangye County and Ganzhou, will resist to the death and will never surrender."

He is hiding in the crowd.

The voice came out, but Du Qi couldn't judge Liu Hongcheng's position.

Du Qi smiled, but Liu Hongcheng's approach was rather cautious.But in fact, he had no intention of bombarding Liu Hongcheng with mortars at all, it was just that Liu Hongcheng hid himself.

Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Liu Hongcheng, the current situation in Datang has already

The classics is that the river is declining, and the mud bodhisattva cannot protect himself when crossing the river.Now that you are playing for Datang, you can only fight stubbornly.Open the city gate and surrender, and I will protect your glory and wealth for the rest of your life. "

Liu Hongcheng said disdainfully: "Du Qi, you killed my brother Liu Hongji and kept me rich, what a joke! Let me tell you, I, Liu Hongji, and you, Du Qi, are incompatible. Zhangye under my Liu Hongji's rule will never surrender. I, Liu Hongcheng, will fight to the death."

Du Qi frowned.

Liu Hongcheng is really stubborn!

If you say that the city of Zhangye County is not strong, it is not considered strong, but it is not as good as the real strong city.But even so, if Du Qi wanted to attack forcefully, he would definitely suffer losses.

"Your Majesty, the last general invites you to fight."

At this moment, it was the left vanguard who came out first.he has sharp eyes

, said forcefully: "I am willing to lead the elephant soldiers under my command to join the battle, attack the towers, and seize the county seat."

Du Qi shook his head and said: "Elephant soldiers participating in the battle, although it is useful to attack the city, but the Tang army has gunpowder. Once the gunpowder explodes everywhere, it will make giant elephants go crazy and lose control. At that time, don't say it's an attack, think about it. It’s impossible to stay in shape.”

Left Vanguard paused for a moment, then said directly: "I am willing to lead the

The soldiers in the army attacked and did not let the giant elephant participate in the battle. "
