north.

Xu You was the military supervisor, Yan Liang was the general, Han Guang, Zhang Tuo and Li Ning were the generals, and 50,000 horse and infantry soldiers were killed in a mighty manner towards Huaicheng, Hanoi County.

Flags are waving, horses are neighing, and dust is flying.

Every Hebei soldier is strong and full of red light. There are also many soldiers wearing iron armor.

In the vast dust, Xu You and Yan Liang and other generals rode together.

Xu You stretched out his right hand and covered his mouth and nose with his big sleeves, but he still sucked a lot of dust and made a gentle cough.

"Mr. Xu. Use this cloth to cover your mouth and nose." Yan Liang took out a black cloth from his back pocket and handed it to Xu You.

Xu You took a look and showed joy. He reached out to take the black cloth, covered his mouth and nose, and then walked around the back of his head to tie it.

"Thank you, General Yan." Xu You said gratefully. He breathed hard and it was much smoother.

"You are kind, sir." Yan Liang said very happily.

"Sir. This time, the lord regards you as the army supervisor and me as the general. He attacks Taishici. He personally leads the generals to attack Zhang Yan, Heishan. This is our opportunity to show our performance. I want to be the vanguard and lead 10,000 elite troops to challenge Taishici at the city. I wonder what Mr. thinks?"

Yan Liang held the horse whip in his right hand, placed his left hand on his right hand, and bowed his hand to ask Xu You.

Xu You was about to speak.

The general next to him, Han Guang, said: "I heard that Taishi Ci is a brave general under Zhang Xiu's command, but his achievements are mediocre. I think it is mostly water-filled pork. Why use a ox knife to kill chickens? General Yan is a great general, how can he be a vanguard? The last general is willing to be a vanguard, kill Taishi Ci, and give his head to the general."

Yan Liang was about to speak, and Xu You also said, "General Yan, General Han is right. How can a great general be a pioneer? Let General Han go."

Speaking of this, Xu You said to Han Guang seriously: "There is something wrong with General Han's words. Zhang Xiu is very wise and famous all over the world. He used Taishi Ci as a general to guard Henei County. It must be a commendable place for Taishi Ci. It is okay for a general to be a pioneer, and it is okay to challenge. But don't fight against Taishi Ci."

Han Guang was a little unhappy when he heard this, but he didn't say much. He just bowed and replied, "No."

"Okay. General Han, go. I'll put the team behind." Yan Liang respected Xu You very much, so he nodded and said.

"No." Han Guang responded again, with a hint of joy on his face. Then he led more than a hundred personal cavalry back to the headquarters and led tens of elite soldiers to Huai County.

That morning.

Han Guang led his troops to the vicinity of Huai County. The horse and infantry army was majestic, but there were no siege equipment.

Under the "Han" flag that was blown by the wind, Han Guang said to the deputy generals beside him: "Huaicheng is coming. The men and women are cheering up. Follow me to challenge the city. After defeating Taishici, they will enter the city and occupy Huaixian and seize the first merit. At that time, they will rob the city in Huaicheng and rob their own property."

"No." The deputy general replied, and he pulled down to pass the order.

After hearing the order, the soldiers were immediately energetic and their morale became high.

"Kill!!!" They howled one after another, as if they had just arrived at Huaicheng, and just needed a light stab, Huaicheng would be broken.

Wealth moves people's hearts.

Although Hebei is majestic, there are many generals and the quality is uneven. People like Han Guang are brave and good at fighting in the south and north, but their soldiers are plundering and slaughtering the city is just ordinary.

.............

In the study room of the General's Mansion, Taishici was wearing a white narrow-sleeved brocade robe, kneeling in front of the desk reading quietly.

When he was a child, he was in an ordinary condition and read few books. After joining Zhang Xiu's command, he came into contact with many military books, and the books were much better than bamboo slips.

He is not greedy for women, and he mainly practices martial arts, reads books, and trains soldiers in daily life. Although his life is boring, he enjoys himself.

"Report to General. General Yuan Shao Han Guang led elite troops, less than three miles away from the city." The personal soldiers hurriedly walked in from outside and reported the report.

When Taishi Ci heard this, he put down the book in his hand, stood up and moved his muscles and bones a little, and said calmly: "Prepare armor for me."

"No." The personal soldiers agreed and turned around.

After the dressing was neatly arranged, Taishici took a large gun from his personal soldiers, walked out of the gate together, turned over and rode a black horse, and led the light cavalry to the east of the city.

"General! General!" As the soldiers bowed their heads to pay their respects, Taishi Ci climbed up to the city gate agilely and watched the situation.

Not long after, a black dot appeared in front of him, and then it quickly magnified. More than 10,000 elite soldiers came to the city of Huai County with dust flying.

Taishi Ci carefully glanced at the army under the city, sighed softly, and said, "Hebei soldiers and horses are indeed majestic."

The soldiers on the city also looked down and watched. Although they were not afraid, they also showed a solemn look on their faces.

Not long after, a cavalry flew out from the army under the city, and came to the city, shouting: "My general Han has tens of thousands of elite soldiers. I heard that General Taishi is brave and good at fighting, can he dare to go out of the city to fight?"

The personal soldiers beside Taishici, the officers all turned to look at Taishici. A black-faced military waiter stood up and advised: "General. Hebei is majestic. There are many soldiers. The general has only 20,000 elite soldiers, and the defending city can rival 100,000 soldiers. Now he goes out of the city to fight with him. I am really at a disadvantage. Please hang the battle card with high signs."

Taishici laughed loudly after hearing this and said, "I have also said that Hebei is really majestic. But what is the general? What kind of Han Guang is he? Who is I, Taishici?"

Taishi Ci was full of spirit and brows and said, "Don't say it's Han Guang, it's Yan Liang coming. Why am I afraid of it?"

"City certainly has advantages. But if I attack ten thousand people with elite troops and defeat them. It can not only destroy their troops, but also boost the morale of the army, so why not do this without any harm?"

After saying that, Taishi Ci's eyes shone brightly, and he leaned his head to the rider and shouted: "Okay. Wait for me for a quarter of an hour."

Taishici turned his head again and said to the officers around him: "Go and tell you the soldiers under your command. I want to select a thousand people, all of them wearing iron armor. Those who follow me will be rewarded with a golden cake, and those who die in battle will receive two golden cakes. Today, I will give out a thousand gold to eat his troops."

The officers and personal soldiers around him were all in a panic, and then they were panicked. The black-faced military Hou hurriedly advised: "General. Although the general is brave and good at fighting, he may not be able to win if he goes outside the city to kill the enemy. If the general is not outside, the Huai County city will collapse immediately. General Xu will be unable to support the defense of Hedong. The land north of the Yellow River may not be owned by the court. Please think twice."

Taishici looked at the man in surprise and nodded happily, "Okay. You have a lot of vision. I will promote you to Sima. You guard the city on my behalf. If I die outside, you will be the general and take charge of this city."

After saying that, Taishi Ci looked at everyone with his eyes and ordered loudly: "Do you know the general order?"

"No." The officers were all stern, and the black-faced military waiter opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to speak. He went down with the officers to select soldiers.

Not long after, Taishici received a thousand dead soldiers.

A thousand soldiers wearing iron armor, holding spears, and hanging a small armor-breaking hammer around their waists stood west and east, looking at Taishici.

Taishi Ci held a big gun in his hand casually, with a large bow behind the horse, wearing a white battle robe. He glanced at the 1,000 soldiers and said with a smile: "Okay. Whether the soldiers defend their families or the country, they still want to gain wealth immediately. As long as they are not afraid of death, they are good soldiers. Safe their lives and come with me."

Taishici flapped his gun and shouted: "Open the city gate."

"Crack!" The two teams of soldiers first stepped down the door, and then opened the thick city gate. Taishici took the lead and broke out of the city gate, followed by dozens of personal soldiers under his command, one of whom was carrying the "Taishi" flag.

"Da da da da da!!!" The horse's hooves sounded like war drums, and dust flew.

Behind them, there were a thousand iron armored troops. After they walked out of the city gate, they immediately arranged into three formations, with their spears forward and their tiger's eyes wide open.

"Listen to the thief. I am Taishi Ci. Kill!!!" Taishi Ci looked ahead, and his murderous intent was like a volcano erupting, very fierce. He flapped his gun and shouted. Then he rode his horse out, leading the way, and taking the lead.

However, he also controlled his speed and kept a distance from the infantry.

"Kill!!!!" A thousand iron-armored soldiers roared angrily, shaking the fields, and the spears were like forests. When they strided forward, they were like a mountain crushing eastward.

Of course, the people and horses in Hebei are majestic.

But what about Taishici?

How about Xu Huang?

They were all famous generals under Zhang Xiu, who raised soldiers and were very well-organized. Under the coordination of Xi Zhicai and others, the seven counties, the fundamental area of ​​the court, had a bumper harvest every year, and the food level of the soldiers was the best in the world.

The soldiers under Taishici were majestic, and they were even better than those in Hebei. Nowadays, each of the thousands of iron armored soldiers is like a calf, wearing iron armor and moving with ease.

Han Guang was a general who led ten thousand troops, not an unknown person. After receiving Taishi Ci's response, he began to order the soldiers to be on guard.

He himself followed Xu You's words, held a big gun and straddled a red horse, landing at the end of the team.

This is an extremely safe place.

He was not afraid that Taishi Ci would bring out 20,000 elite soldiers. If he saw that there were many people on the other side, he would immediately withdraw his troops. Taishi Ci did not have too many cavalry under his command and could not catch up with him.

After Taishi Ci came out, Han Guang looked closely and was both angry and happy.

"This kid only sent a thousand people out, and he looked down on me."

"If you can kill it, Huai County will be destroyed without attacking it. This is the pig's head that was sent to you."

"Huaicheng is right in front. If you kill Taishi Ci, you can enter the colorful world. You can pick up gold, silver and wealth. You can kill men, old and weak men, and you can kill women, and you can kill them!!!"

Han Guang let out a excited howl.

"Kill!!!" The soldiers under his command roared angrily. The spearmen in the front row and the sword and shield held the weapons in their hands tightly. The archers in the back row pulled out the arrows from the arrow bags at their waists, bent their bows and put them on, ready to bend their bows to the sky.

"Beat the drum to cheer." The black-faced officer appointed by Taishi Ci looked ahead and gave an order.
