    As Yang You¡¯s chamberlain, Zouping has succeeded in one thing in his life, and that is taking care of children.  He entered the palace at the age of four and started sweeping floors and cleaning toilets. It was not until he was thirty-five that he was able to serve the king.  Zouping cherishes this hard-won job opportunity and works diligently and conscientiously every day.

    Not only that, he also taught himself early childhood education.  Without knowing a lot of Chinese characters, I collected many folk tales.  While playing with Yang You, this old chamberlain could always tell Yang You all kinds of weird stories.  When Yang You grew up, the person he trusted the most was this old chamberlain who was nearly fifty years old. He never called him by his name on weekdays, but called his eldest companion.

    The most important things naturally need to be handled by the most loyal people.  It was a matter of Chang'an's safety, so the messenger sent by Yang You was naturally Mr. Zouping.

    Although Zouping is only a chamberlain and has a physical disability.  But he also has friends, and his friend is called Song Laosheng.  This pair of good friends have known each other for a long time, and it is said that the channel that brought them closer was their fellow villagers.

    Yang You asked him to find Qu Tutong, but Zouping believed that he had an obligation to inform Song Laosheng.  So he rushed to Huoyi without stopping with Yang You's instructions.

    Li Er looked at the Huoyi city wall, his eyebrows twisted into a huge "Sichuan".  After three days of siege, the city stuck on the bank of Fen River still could not be captured.  Song Laosheng's reputation for being good at defense is indeed well-deserved. He arrived only two days earlier than Li Er and built Huoyi, a city with weak defenses, like an iron barrel.  In the past three days, Li Er continuously attacked the city and suffered heavy losses.  After three days, nearly 8,000 soldiers had been killed or injured.  If he continues to fight at this rate, his team will last for six days before they are all exhausted.

    The news coming from Hedong was not good either. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan's main force encountered the famous general Qu Tutong in Hedong.  Qu Tutong's general Sang Xian was extremely brave, and Xiaoguo Elite was on the defensive.  Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan were helpless when facing such an opponent.

    If you can¡¯t cross Fenshui, you can¡¯t enter Guanzhong.  Time is of the essence now. I heard that Li Mi is already hooking up with Wang Shichong.  If they join forces to support Yang Tong, the king of Yue, it is impossible for the defenders at Tongguan to stop them.  If he cannot win Guanzhong, Li Yuan will have to rely on the Turks like Liu Wuzhou.  This is what Li Er doesn't want to see. The most important thing now is how to break through Huoyi and march into Guanzhong.

    "His grandma, this turtle with his head is too scared to come out and fight." Liu Hongji pointed at the Huoyi city wall and cursed, but there was nothing he could do.  Although they have about the same number of troops as you, they just won't come out.  What can you do?

    "Huo Yi is a tough nut to crack!" Yin Kaishan said helplessly as he looked at the corpses under the city wall.  He led the Xuanjia Army, and cavalry charging was his strength, but he couldn't do things like siege.

    "Grandma, catch Song Laosheng and chop him alive." Yin Kaishan was so angry that his subordinates had been attacking the city for the past two days.  Among the entire army, he suffered the heaviest losses and hated Song Laosheng the most.

    "Stop the siege. This is not the way to go. We have to find a way to lure people out." Li Er reluctantly ordered to stop the attack. There was no way the casualties would be too great.  If this continues, this little family fortune will be wiped out by Huo Cheng.

    Just when Li Er ordered to stop attacking the city, Song Laosheng on the top of the city also welcomed his fellow villager Zouping.

    "My eldest companion is not in Chang'an, so why did he come to Huoyi? Could it be that something happened in Chang'an?" The appearance of Zouping gave Song Laosheng an ominous premonition.  Nothing can happen to Chang'an. If something happens, our supplies will be cut off.  The families of these Forbidden Army members are all in Chang'an, so no one would worry if something happens to their families.  If the morale of the army is in chaos, can this battle still be fought?

    "General Song, it's bad, then Li Jing is a stick. The king asked the old slave to invite two generals to quickly defeat Li Yuan's rebels. If you stay outside for one more day, Chang'an will be in danger."

    Zouping has never left the palace much in his life, how does he know what is going on in the army.  When Song Laosheng asked, he said of course he was scary.  Completely ignoring that this is the city wall, and there are many soldiers eavesdropping nearby.

    Song Laosheng wished he could slap himself in the mouth. He was also confused. Can such a thing be said here?

    "Let's talk inside!" I saw many soldiers looking here. Song Laosheng's head was as big as two.  This kind of thing spreads the fastest, and it won't take him and Zouping's conversation at night to spread throughout Huoyi.  And the rumors will only become more outrageous, and rumors of Chang'an being captured will spread.

    Entering the tower, Zouping recounted Li Jing's words exactly as they were said.  Song Laosheng finally felt a little more at ease. Li Jing's approach was right.  At least that's what he thought, but he remembered what Zouping said outside just now.  My heart became confused again. Chang'an was fine for a while, but he wasWith absolute numerical superiority and equipment superiority, these bug-like rebels were crushed.  Let you know that I, Mr. Song, am not only good at defending the city, but I am also good at attacking!

    When the fiery red sun rises from the east, people shout horses neighing below Huoyi City.  In this battle, both sides used all their strength.  The Sui troops swarmed out of the city gate, like ants that had dug into their nest.  The Jinyang Army led by Li Shimin set up a position five miles away.  Leaving enough space for the Sui army to set up their formation was in line with the etiquette of a decisive battle between nobles.

    The Sui army looked well-trained at first glance, even though they were large in number.  There was no chaos when leaving the city. The first person to leave the city was the Sword and Shield Man.  Then came the halberdiers, and finally the crossbowmen.  After the crossbowmen left the city, they were placed at the forefront of the military formation.  It is configured in nine rows, with the front row squatting and the back row standing in an orderly manner.  If the Jinyang army attacks at this time, they will definitely be shot to death.  Before they could reach the front of the formation, they had already suffered heavy losses.

    The last ones to come out were the three thousand cavalry led by Song Laosheng himself.  There is no need for these cavalry in positional warfare. Using cavalry to attack the arranged military formation is simply a joke on the expensive cavalry lives.  You can tell by looking at these cavalry wearing leather armor and holding horizontal swords.  They are the main force in pursuit once the enemy army collapses.  This is the opportunity for these light cavalry to show off their skills. Shooting them with bows and swords will maximize the results.  The losses of many armies in battle were not as many as the number of people who were chased and killed when they collapsed.

    In the middle of the cavalry, a large flag with Song characters was erected.  Song Laosheng was riding a horse and sitting under the banner.  Today he had no reservations and wanted to take down Li Shimin in one fell swoop.  Looking at the rebels on the opposite side who were all in uniform, Song Laosheng felt that this battle was definitely won.  These civilian soldiers, whose armors and weapons are not uniform, are fighting against their own elite Xiaoguo, aren't they looking for death?

    "Beat the drums, advance!" Seeing that the Sui army's tens of thousands of troops had taken shape, Song Laosheng immediately ordered the drums to be beaten and attacked.  He didn't want to waste a second!

    "Dong" "dong" "dong" the war drums sounded rhythmically, and the military formation of tens of thousands of troops advanced to the beat of the drums.  Eight cows pulled a huge bullock cart, and a shirtless bald man beat the cowhide drum rhythmically.

    Looking at the Sui army coming over like a tidal wave, Yin Kaishan swallowed his saliva.  Damn it, I didn¡¯t expect there to be so many people in Huoyi City.  This battle seems to be a fight to the death!

    The entire Sui army moved to the beat of the drum until they were two hundred steps away from the enemy.  There was a sudden bang, and the crossbowman in the front row kept walking, but the crossbow in his hand was shot at an angle of 45 degrees.  The emission was so intensive that the sky became dark.

    "Raise shields!" Yin Kaishan gave the order, and all the soldiers raised various shields.  The sound of arrows hammering into the wooden board came one after another, and the screams also came one after another.  The soldier who was hit by the arrow fell to the ground howling miserably, wailing incessantly!

    The drums of the Sui army suddenly stopped, and the whole army also stopped.  The crossbowmen continued to shoot, and the horn suddenly sounded.

    "Kill!" the Xiaoguos roared, raised their spears, passed the crossbowmen, and rushed out of the military formation.  With the force of thunder, he pressed forward.

    "Kill!" Yin Kaishan did not show weakness, and the entire army pressed forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.

    The two rows of people on the horizon are getting closer and closer.  When the two rows of people collided, countless blood flowers bloomed in the morning sun.  The earth became a sea of ??blood!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
