Li Pu saw that half of the wooden archery towers on the left and right corners had been knocked down, but the walls of the protective shed above the north fort gate were made of stone. There was almost no damage during the war, so it seemed that they had been attacked by force.

The fighting was not as intense as expected.

Let this guy successfully capture Shangjia Fort!

There seemed to be many ants crawling and gnawing in Li Pu's heart. It didn't hurt, but it was indescribably unpleasant and uncomfortable.

In Shangjia Fort alone, tens of thousands of slaves from various families were gathered, and more than two thousand young men and women were gathered among them. In addition, the momentum of this battle was much greater than the previous small fights, forcing all the surrounding sects of the big and small families to go.

There are a large number of soldiers and horses defending the prefectures and counties to escape. Without the supervision of their masters, more slaves will go to Maoshan and Donglushan to gather together. It is unimaginable that in another month, the strength of the Chishan Army will be

How far will it continue to expand?

At that point, Han Qian will really have the strength to stick to Maoshan and compete with the Chuzhou Army and An Ning Palace, right?

"grown ups!"

At this time, a soldier wearing scale armor and stained with blood who had not had time to wash himself passed by the city and greeted happily towards the top of the castle wall.

"Have you found your mother and siblings?" Han Qian asked.

"Found it. This is my brother Baotou. General Kong allowed him to join the camp at the top of the city, and he will work directly with you from now on." Shang Hu replied at the bottom of the city. He was very happy and excited that Han Qian still remembered his family.

matter.

"Okay, you first take him to familiarize yourself with the situation. When I came here, I heard Diao Xiazi said that he wanted to pass on his ancestral Tongyang Diao family gun to you, and I also heard General Kong say that your brother is very strong, and even a knife cut his arm.

Damn it - you have to take your brother with you to see Blind Diao and learn the Diao gun passed down from his family to see if he is bragging." Han Qian said.

Li Pu looked enviously at the two brave generals Miaozi under the fort wall, especially the armored soldier who greeted them. He was jumping alive and covered in blood, which showed that he had outstanding achievements in this battle.

Regardless of the original Wuling Army or the current Xuzhou Prefecture Camp or Chishan Army, there are very few people who can truly be called brave generals.

After all, the children of the family soldiers and the children of Zuo Si were all born among hungry people and had poor health, so the probability of becoming a brave general was naturally low. Zhao Wuji, Lin Haizheng, Lin Zongjing, and Wei Chang were all extremely rare brave generals, while the others were more familiar with military affairs.

In the military formation, it is impossible that there are more than fifty soldiers of the Han family and more than five hundred of Zuosi's children. All of them are brave generals who can fight one against ten and pick one out of a hundred.

Tian Cheng, Gao Shao and others had previous foundations. Including Zhou Chu, their health began to decline when they were in their forties. They took up the post of Du Yuhou with their rich and experienced military experience.

Feng Xuan and Yang Qin were brave, but they only roamed the countryside.

Kong Xirong was said to be the most brave general of the Chishan Army, but he was not noticed by cousins ​​Li Xiu and Li Qi.

However, among the slaves who come to Toumao Mountain these days, especially those who dared to become fugitives in the early days, there are several brave generals who can lift three or four kilograms of stone load.

Of course, what is more embarrassing to Li Pu than this is that Han Qian insists on capturing Shangjia Fort. His reputation will become more and more prosperous, and he will even recruit slaves to join the army. The shortcomings of being an enemy of the family will be covered up for a while. What is even more embarrassing is that

They have done nothing on the west flank - the defenders of Lishui City have no courage to go out to fight.

"At this time, there may be a good opportunity to seize Lishui City. Can we give Li Xiu and the others a chance to show off?" Li Pu hesitated for a long time and finally asked with determination.

Yao Xishui also stared at Han Qian closely.

The world is full of unfairness, but sometimes it is fair.

Li Xiu and Li Qi came from a wealthy general family, and they could usually ignore generals with mud-legged backgrounds, but without military exploits, their words were not strong enough after all.

The Shenlingsi lineage behind Xinchang Marquis Lipu and others should be considered to have a deep enough foundation in Yueyang, but in this era of turmoil and rampant military generals, if they cannot make great achievements on the battlefield, the foundation cannot be considered stable.

If Li Pu wants to compete with him for the right to speak in Yueyang, it is impossible not to fight a tough battle.

In this era of turmoil and rampant military generals, people always bully the weak and fear the strong, and the right to speak also belongs to the stronger party.

Han Qian glanced at Li Pu, pondered for a while and then nodded casually and said, "Okay!"

"Wanhonglou has some arrangements in Lishui City, but we still need to borrow some soldiers and horses from you to attract the attention of the defenders." Li Pu said with a shy face.

In addition to a battalion of Nanya Imperial Guards in Lishui City, there were also county soldiers and clan soldiers gathered from local aristocratic families, totaling two thousand soldiers.

Normally, in addition to preparing troops and horses, the four city gates in the east, west, south and north are usually guarded by about 300 soldiers and horses.

Even if Li Pu and others pass through Wanhonglou and have sent more than a hundred elites to infiltrate Lishui City, and they can suddenly attack from the inside while the defenders are not prepared, the battle to seize the gate will be extremely fierce and they may not be able to successfully seize the gate.

.

In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Li Pu also asked Han Qian to lend him some troops and horses, and deploy them to one side of Lishui City to feign an attack to attract the attention of the defenders.

"Then please ask Mr. Zhang and General Gao to lead two battalions of troops and wait for Li Houye's control." Han Qian said. The Chuzhou Army has not yet reacted. There is no pressure on their east wing to attack Lishui City.

Sooner rather than later, he did not bargain with Li Pu, and his intuition ordered Gao Shao to lead two battalions of soldiers and horses to cooperate with them.

Although he guessed that Han Qian would like to see them capture Lishui City and then hold on to it, so as to share the pressure on the right wing for the Chishan Army to gain a foothold in Maoshan, Han Qian was so cooperative without making any difficulties. Xinchang Hou Li Pu and Yao Xishui were still quite surprised and were stunned for a while.

, then he cupped his hands towards Gao Shao and said, "Thank you for your service, Gao will be your general."
