"Brother Zhang, let's talk about this. We have to hurry up later. You can rest for a while."

Seeing that Zhang Xun wanted to continue chatting, Chen Guang stopped. At this time, the sky had already revealed white white fish belly. It would not take long for them to wait for the sun to rise and they had to continue their journey.

"Chen Lang, I might as well stand for a while."

Zhang Xun privately called Chen Guang Chen Lang, but in front of everyone he was called General.

Just as the two were about to walk down the city wall, Chen Guang suddenly stopped. Zhang Xun was a little surprised, but then he saw the Doulu soldiers guarding not far away shouting, "Enemy attack!"

In an instant, a shrill and loud sound of fighting sounded. At this time, Zhang Xun walked back to the wall with the sunken light. He saw a large area of ​​black shadows coming from the sky light that had just lit up outside the city. Then there was a dull sound of horse hooves coming from the wind in the wilderness.

"There are such bandits in Shazhou?"

Zhang Xun couldn't help but be surprised. He had been in peace in the pass for a long time and did not know about the border war. Some people also thought that if there was any war in Anxi Beiting and other places, it was a border general who was arbitrarily provoking the border.

"What bandits can have such a horse-team power!"

Chen Guang had been in Anxi for more than a year and often asked Feng Changqing for advice. Of course, he knew that the large number of people who were invading energy at this time must be Tubo barbarians.

In the sound of divine fighting, the soldiers of the Doulu army came out of the barracks in the fortress and climbed onto the city walls without any panic. It was obvious that they had long been used to this kind of thing. On the contrary, in the market town outside the fortress, there were noisy shouts and cries.

"Brother Zhang is afraid that he doesn't know that Shazhou is less than 300 miles away from Tubo, and it takes only two or three days to go fast. Every year when spring comes east, those poor tribes in Tubo will lead their troops to rob Shazhou."

“It’s like this every year?”

“It’s like this every year.”

"Then why the court never talks about this."

Zhang Xun did not expect that such a thing would happen in Hexi under General Wang Zhongsi, who was intimidating the world.

"The invasion was not the army in the Tubo country, but the spontaneous coalition of small tribes. They did not dare to attack prefectures and counties, but just plundered oasis towns and robbed some food and livestock."

Chen Guang explained to Zhang Xun, don’t look at the decline of the Tubo situation at this time. Generally speaking, it is considered a so-called state of peace with the Tang Dynasty. But in spring and autumn every year, there are so many small-scale battles like this that will not be reported to the court at all.

At this time, all the soldiers of the Doulu army had already climbed to the fortress wall, and at this time, there were already wealthy families in the market outside who were carrying animal property to the fortress? They wanted to come in and take refuge.

"Langjun."

Nan Jiyun and others were excitedly climbing the city wall? They were not worried about any war. Cui Qi, the old man Dou Lu Army, was there? They naturally knew that the attack was the Tubo tribal coalition, but just a group of mobs.

"Let's ask the guys to put on their clothes? Let's go to the battle with someone later."

Chen Guang said to Nan Jiyun and Cui Qi, who were full of desire on his face, and then looked at Zhang Xiaojing, "Zhang Xiaojing, may your troops fight? If not? Then he stayed in the fortress to help Dou Lu's army defend the city."

"Mr. My son of the Longwu Army is not inferior to others, so he can naturally fight."

Zhang Xiaojing replied loudly, they were the guards given by the saint to Chen Langjun. Besides, the Longwu Army was the best in all guards, so how could it be awkward when the Tubo barbarians attacked?

"That's good? Let's go down and prepare, remember to eat and drink well? Don't go on the battlefield later and make soft-legged shrimps, and ask Dou Lu Jun's comrades to joke."

"Son-in-law is just a happy life."

Cui Qi smiled and got off the city wall first. His double hammers were already hungry and thirsty. Now he was under his command of the Longyou Army warriors assigned by the general? Is that guy Zhang Xiaojing sure to know today? The Longwu Army is the best in all guards? But because of the saints who guarded the enemy, they have to look at their warriors in Shuofang, Longyou.

Seeing Zhang Xiaojing and Cui Qi leave one after another, Chen Guang looked at Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun and said, "I will follow someone to attack the thief chief later. Don't let others underestimate our Anxi Army."

"Hey, my husband."

Soon, Wang Shenyuan and the others brought their food armor to the city wall. After Shen Guang hung it, they sat directly on the stool and ate the roasted lamb left over last night. At this time, Chen Tong also hung it neatly in front of him, "General Shen."

Chen Tong is not Cui Qi's reckless man. Besides, now that Tubo soldiers and horses are invading, Chen Guang is the governor of the Thunder Ye, and his rank is much higher than him, so he is naturally qualified to command this war.

"Person Chen, I know that you always guard the fortress, and then let the wealthy families in the market town come in to hide. If there is no need, they will not fight against the Tubo barbarians."

Chen Guang's words made Zhang Xun frown beside him, but he could understand that although there was a regiment of troops stationed in the fortress, the real warriors were only fifty, so there was no danger to guard the fortress. However, if you went out of the city to fight, even if the Tubo soldiers and horses came were mobs, the number of people was ten times different, so you could not fight in a strait.

"General Chen, it is not easy for our border troops to replenish troops, so we have to do this."

"I don't mean to blame you. I'll defend your city later. I'll lead the troops out and kill the invading Tubo traitor."

Chen Guang said calmly that since the battle between the Yiwu army, he has become a qualified general, not to mention that more than 200 elite soldiers under his command are well-trained knights and more than a hundred warriors who are good at riding and shooting. Not to mention that the most invasions are only more than a thousand mobs, even if he comes to three thousand, he dares to lead his army to attack. His father-in-law, Wang Zhongsi, often led hundreds of cavalry to do such things when he was young, so the Tubo people respected and feared him.

"Here."

Although Zhang Xun, who was unable to go into battle, was not too upset, he was not too upset, "I wish the general to win the flag later and kill the thief chief's head."

"Brother Zhang, just wait."

After eating lamb legs, he swallowed them with gravy wrapped in Hu cakes, Shen Guang watched the Doulu soldiers put them into the rich families and the people of the foreign tribes who followed behind him, and then closed the gate of the fortress. He listened to the cries of the people who did not come in, without any expression on his face.

As the saying goes, Ci did not take charge of the troops. He watched the Tubo soldiers who had already rushed to the oasis not far away and drove into the town, driving the people to plunder food and livestock. Chen Guang was not moved at all. He was waiting for his men to eat and drink enough to raise his energy, and waited for these Tubo people to go deep into the market and completely let go of their guards before they could give him a thunder blow.

There were many Tubo soldiers and horses invading, and Chen Guang thought there were 1,500 people, which was much more than Chen Tong said.

"It seems that the snow fell heavily in Tubo last year!"

Chen Tong was talking on the side that the two seasons of Tubo’s invasions in the spring and autumn were different. In spring, the small tribes that survived the winter formed a coalition to plunder the oasis towns in order to survive. In autumn, the troops organized by the Tubo court came to rob the grain.

Soon the Tubo soldiers and horses divided hundreds of people to come to the fortress. Although they were aggressive, they just walked around the city, shouting and scolding, but they did not dare to approach the fortress. They came to steal things to survive, and no one wanted to fight with the Tang army in the fortress.

In the fortress, wolf smoke rose into the sky. Shen Guang looked at the Tubo soldiers and horses walking around the city, and said to Nan Jiyun and Zhang Xiaojing who had stepped onto the city wall and reported to him, "Nan Ba, Datou, and I will shoot down the two thieves and birds."

Tubo and the Tang Dynasty were mortal enemies, especially a few years ago, after the Tang Dynasty pushed to the Chiling Border Monument, Tubo did not dare to disturb the border in large numbers, but such small-scale wars often occur. Shen Guang looked at the two Tubo knight leaders who led the horses around the city, but they were very experienced in controlling the distance, so he could tell that these two were probably quite officers in the Tubo army.

Tubo is not as many full-time standing troops as the Tang Dynasty. They usually serve the people and gather for the soldiers. The officers in the army are usually the leaders of the tribe.

When Nan Jiyun and Zhang Xiaojing heard this, they followed the Chen Guang's pointing, and then saw the two Tubo barbarians who were shouting in circles in the horse team. After the two looked at each other, Nan Jiyun took the lead and said, "The one on the left!"

"good!"

Zhang Xiaojing nodded, and said nothing more. He just took the bow and took the arrow, and pulled the bowstrings with Nan Jiyun.
Chapter completed!
