Chapter 119 Dare to fight in front of you?
In the early morning of November 9, another group of fireworks warned messages ignited on the north bank of the Huai River northwest of Shouzhou City. This warned messages finally successfully pulled Lin Feng out of the retreat of the Tang Academy of Sciences, and began to go up to the city every day to observe the movements of the enemy troops under the city and actively prepare for the war.
At noon on November 10, when the first light snow of this winter was ushered in Shouzhou, the Houzhou Camp under the city became noisy due to good news. Qiu Hongchao, commander of the horse army, arranged a formation and Yao Yuanfu led 3,000 cavalry and two thousand infantry marched to arrive.
It's time to show your strength.
Commander Li Gu intends to take the opportunity to increase psychological pressure on Shouzhou City and specially organized a grand welcome ceremony. The three camps in the west, north and east all went out to form a military parade and cheered. Especially in the West, Dayan, 50,000 soldiers were fully armed, and from the Huaihe River to the Dayan Station, they formed two long lines, forming a long welcome passage.
Naturally, the soldiers of Houzhou who could only be siege the city in Shouzhou every day were very happy with the arrival of reinforcements. In addition, Qiu Hongchao and Yao Yuanfu organized the soldiers to boast about how the emperor swept away the rebels in Yanzhou and pacified the heroic deeds of the Liao and Han coalition forces. Finally, they did not forget to point out the news that the emperor was about to be in charge of the emperor's in person, which greatly increased the morale of the entire Houzhou soldiers, and the cheers from the heart rose higher than the others.
Qiu Hongchao, who came with a great victory, was naturally full of energy. After arriving, he did not enter the camp as soon as possible. He first placed various blood-stained flags of the Yanzhou rebels and the Liaohan coalition forces in military uniforms on the hem of the city, and then led all the cavalry cavalry to surround Shouzhou. The three thousand carefully selected cavalry were very morale, and the formation was not chaotic and the armor was not crooked. After the cavalry rushed back to the west gate of Shouzhou again, they all faced the city walls and pointed at the top of the city. At the same time, they drew their swords and pointed at the top of the city, shouting three times in a row, which looked very scary.
However, as soon as they finished shouting, two white cloth banners were thrown down from the city wall, with two large slogans dancing with dragons and phoenixes:
"The performance was pretty good, but I had less movements immediately and I could barely score nine points."
"The overall situation is OK. Remember to leave the horses when leaving Shouzhou, and the people will be better off."
Needless to say, the tone is from Lin Feng and the handwriting is from Han Xizai and Han Jia.
Qiu Hongchao and Yao Yuanfu's face immediately fell down, and at the same time turned his head and looked back, looking at Li Gu with a wry smile. Li Gu shook his head and whispered: "This Lin Feng is so good at harming people, invulnerable to swords and guns, and insults in oil."
As soon as Lin Feng said a few naughty words, he immediately changed the scene of Zhou's army's already perfect strength display. However, he could not stop Zhou's determination to show his military power. After six consecutive days, Zhou's reinforcements arrived under the city every day, with cavalry and infantry all in line and welcomed them. The city of Ao Xiao became a fixed performance event.
However, the slogans on the city wall are changed every day, and the scent of ridicule is getting stronger and stronger:
"It's like this every day, it's too monotonous. Can you put some fresh things on?"
"You guys have a competition. The last place is eliminated. Whoever is the first will come to attack the city and die."
"It is recommended to sing and dance every day. We can be judged for free to give awards."
"Let me lend you two to improve your performing arts level, and it is guaranteed to be free."
...
Li Gu and others were also angry by Lin Feng's ability to turn magic into decay, and to turn elegance into vulgarity. Every day, they saw a group of Shouzhou soldiers on the city wall laughing and pointing at each other, so they naturally had no energy to conduct military parades and enter the camp.
On November 20, the Zhou army camp, which had finally been quiet for three days, became lively again: at Chen hour, a army of Later Zhou, with over 10,000 people, returned from Shouzhou City with great might. The flying flag was written with the big word "Li". The soldiers guarding the city quickly recognized that this was Li Chongjin's troops who marched into Haozhou in the east and urgently responded to Lin Feng. An hour later, another army of ten thousand people returned from the south of the city to Xidaying, with the flag "hou" and "Zhao", needless to say, the troops of Hou Zhang and Zhao Kuangyin who marched into Chuzhou in the south.
These two abnormal information suddenly made Shouzhou City nervous. The four cities were on guard and sent people to Ximen to investigate the truth.
At noon, the 100,000 Houzhou troops came out of the camp and lined up, standing in the cold wind without a sound.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, a pure and thick sound came, and a thousand brightly armored and impeached cavalry led the way. A huge team centered on a huge jade rope appeared on the north side of the camp. The team was winding westward for a long time, and there was no sign of the edge at a glance.
Li Gu led all the generals to dismount and quickly met them. He knelt down on the dust with all the soldiers, shouting "Long live."
Guo Wei finally arrived.
Lin Feng held a telescope and tried hard to find the long-famous Emperor of Great Zhou. Between all the soldiers kneeling down, a burly middle-aged man walked down from above Yu Lu. His hands were pressed up and his lips moved, clearly instructing the soldiers to get up.
More than 100,000 soldiers kowtowed and thanked each other, shouting "Long live the Great Zhou" and then stood up together.
Han Xizai looked at the prosperous Great Zhou army formation and couldn't help but sigh: "It is worthy of being the elite northern force who has experienced many battles."
Ge Chang behind him curled his lips and said disdainfully: "What's the matter with Guo Wei? He is just a family sparrow. When he arrived in front of our Lord Lin, the eagle from the sky, he could only escape."
Because Guo Wei had a family bird pierced on his neck, people personally called it "Guo Quer". Although Ge Chang's metaphor was a little vulgar, it was very suitable for the appetite of many Lin Feng's iron-core confidants on the city. A happy laugh suddenly sounded on the city.
At this time, a fast horse rushed out of the army under the city. It was Zhao Kuangyin, the "image ambassador" with the highest military power and appearance in the Zhou army. He rushed to the moat and shouted loudly: "Governor Lin Fenglin of the Tang Dynasty, my lord intends to give you the saint in front of the formation, how dare you go down to the city?"
"Fear your saint." Feng Jingyun roared angrily, snatched a bow and arrow from the soldiers beside him and was about to shoot, but was stopped by Lin Feng with a smile.
Lin Feng smiled and whispered a few words to Han Xizai. Comrade Han immediately turned around and wrote two lines on a cloth strip, tied it to the arrow shaft, and Lin Feng shot the arrow in front of Zhao Kuangyin's horse with his own hands.
Zhao Kuangyin did not dare to be negligent, so he dismounted and picked up the arrow, took off the cloth strip, and ran back.
After a while, all Zhou soldiers retreated into the camp or both sides of the camp. Dozens of soldiers walked out, carried the wood, held hammers and axes, and began to build a wooden platform in front of the moat. Lin Feng also turned to the soldiers on the top of the city and said in a singular voice: "Lin and the Emperor of Great Zhou made an appointment with the gentleman in front of the formation. The enemy has retreated as promised. Lin promised everyone that he would not sell the interests of the Tang Dynasty, the interests of everyone, and his dignity would not betray him. I also hope that everyone would restrain themselves and no one should act rashly."
All the generals nodded together and said that.
Lin Feng tidied up his clothes, ordered Han Xizai and Abe Jingming to accompany him out of the city, opened the city gate with great swagger, and walked to the moat. Several soldiers from Southern Tang carried a wide piece of wood to the river surface. Lin Feng steadily stepped onto the temporary floating bridge and took the lead in walking towards the wooden platform on the west bank of the moat.
At the same time, three people walked out of the Houzhou camp and headed straight for the wooden platform. The leader was Guo Wei, the Emperor of the Great Zhou. The article accompanied by the article was the recruitment envoys from the south of the Great Zhou, Li Gu, the commander of the army, and the Wu was the most popular Zhao Kuangyin.
