PFC Chapter 551 Xun Kang
Chapter 551 Xun Kang
"Haha, but Brother Lin, you have to promise me something tonight."
Xiao Tiansheng smiled, his face suddenly turned serious, and he stopped walking, staring directly at Lin Xiaofan, which made Lin Xiaofan feel a little uncomfortable.
"Brother Xiao, just say it. With our friendship, I will definitely do it if it can be done."
"Promise me, if there is a war in the future and Guangling City is defeated, you will take some soldiers and horses out of the back door and go northwest to meet the Emperor of Tang Dynasty."
Xiao Tiansheng said slowly. There are only over 5,000 Tianlang elites. It is most likely to concentrate on attacking one gate. Attacking two gates is the limit. It is absolutely impossible to block all four gates.
Moreover, what they wanted in this battle was a quick victory, and what they wanted was to seize the city. There was no need to block four gates.
As long as Lin Xiaofan wanted to run away, he could easily do so.
Seeing Lin Xiaofan's hesitation, Xiao Tiansheng continued:
"The alliance between Daqian and Datang is of vital importance to both countries. And Brother Lin, you are from Daqian, so you don't have to risk your life for Datang. Being able to stay with me is an act of kindness. The Emperor of Tang is not unreasonable. People will not blame you."
He had seen the power of Lei Zhenzi a few days ago. Lin Xiaofan came here this time to form an alliance with Datang. Lei Zhenzi was the sincerity brought by Daqian.
If there were this weapon, the Tang Dynasty would definitely be able to defeat the Xiongnu and make them flee, and defeat the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom so that they would not dare to harbor any evil intentions.
For this reason, the alliance between the two countries is crucial this time, and Lin Xiaofan must not die in Guangling City.
Also, Lin Xiaofan was promising at a young age, resourceful and righteous, and his future achievements would be far more than this. He really didn't want such a genius to perish here.
"Brother Xiao, why are you talking about this? This battle with Heavenly Wolf only has 5,000 troops, and if we two join forces, we will definitely win."
Lin Xiaofan smiled and pushed Xiao Tiansheng to leave, but the latter still had a serious face.
Seeing that he could not defeat the other party, Lin Xiaofan could only say helplessly:
"Don't worry, when that time comes, I will definitely run away. I am a Dagan man and I don't have to risk my life for the Tang Dynasty."
If something went wrong, he would definitely know how to run away.
After hearing this assurance, Xiao Tiansheng returned to his usual appearance.
"To be honest, I think this victory has a good chance."
While walking in the city, Lin Xiaofan brought the topic back to the battle.
"After today's training, although the soldiers are still unprofessional, they should have some fighting ability. With the city wall, rolling logs, stones, kerosene, bows and arrows, etc., it shouldn't be difficult to defend it."
No matter how powerful the Heavenly Wolf elites are, they only have five thousand people, which is too few after all. As long as they can hold on for an hour, the opponent can lose most of their losses. At that time, even if they attack, they can be easily dealt with.
"The only thing you have to guard against is careful work. The possibility of Xun Qie is not high. He has a prosperous life and will enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. There is no need to risk the annihilation of his family and seek refuge in the Sirius Kingdom in his later years."
Xiao Tiansheng opened his mouth to analyze.
"Zhang Darong is unlikely. I observed him today and found nothing wrong with him. And like Xun Qie, he has been greedy for a lot of money, so there is no need to take risks."
Lin Xiaofan also spoke.
"Do you think it could be Xun Qie?"
Xiao Tiansheng placed his suspicion on Xun Qi.
"Him? Probably not. He has no brains, and there is no need to take risks. If he is allowed to do detailed work, it would be too risky. In my opinion, he is probably a member of the city guard."
"After dinner today, I saw Xun Qi talking to several centurions. If he is careful, it will have a great impact on the battle to defend the city. It is better to be careful and look for opportunities to deceive him."
Lin Xiaofan thought for a while and said.
"This is easy to do. We can do it when we return to the city lord's mansion tonight."
Xiao Tiansheng nodded slightly, and he was right to be more cautious.
"Two generals!"
A voice sounded from behind, and a man dressed as a captain was quickly chasing after him, followed by several soldiers.
"A group of people came outside the city gate, saying they were with you. Now that the enemy is facing us, we are not sure of their identity and dare not let them go."
The commander cupped his hands and said.
Lin Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, then said:
"I know, take us to see it."
If your guess is correct, Duanmu Liangjiang and the others should have found a way to come.
Climbing the city wall, there are several people sitting on a few horses below. Even though it was already dark, I could still barely distinguish a few people by their figures.
Duanmu Liangjiang, Duanmu Ke'er, Fengsheng, Ying Yi Ying Er, and a dozen of Xiao Tiansheng's elite.
"They are our people, let them in."
Xiao Tiansheng had a little more smile on his face.
He had seen Duanmu Liangjiang's combat prowess in the last battle. Although he is still far behind compared to him, he can still be regarded as a strong general. He couldn't help but admire the concealment skills of Ying Yi and Ying Two.
As for Fengsheng's name, he had also heard about it.
With several people coming at this time, he felt a little more confident for the upcoming battle.
The city gate opened wide, and Lin Xiaofan and Xiao Tiansheng went down to greet them. Looking at the horses riding by several people, Lin Xiaofan asked:
"Where did you get your horses?"
"We met a caravan on the road with more than a dozen horses. We wanted to come to support, so we stopped."
Duanmu Ke'er poked his head out from behind Fengsheng, opened his mouth to explain, and then turned over to dismount, but he had never learned equestrian skills, so he fell down and gnawed in the mud.
He stood up again with a look of embarrassment and pain on his face.
"Slower."
Fengsheng turned over and dismounted beautifully, and wiped the dirt on Duanmu Keer's face with his sleeves.
"The businessman is so easy to talk to?"
Lin Xiaofan asked with some confusion. Businessmen are profit-loving, and patriotic businessmen are not uncommon, but they are rare. These dozen horses are worth thousands of taels of silver.
"We were all wearing soldiers' armor, and we could tell at a glance that we were soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, so we wrote an IOU to them and the horses were given to us."
Xiao Tiansheng's personal guard commander said.
To be honest, the station where these hundreds of armored soldiers were going was in the wilderness. Even if the merchant didn't believe the IOU, he still had to give up the horses.
But no matter what, this move gave them a little more chance of winning, and it wasn't considered a robbery.
"I'm tired after a long journey. Come with me to the City Lord's Mansion and have a good night's rest."
Xiao Tiansheng opened his mouth and completely regarded the City Lord's Mansion as his home.
When he returned to the city lord's palace, Xun Qie didn't ask any questions and directly arranged for a good meal and wine. Due to the approaching war, several people did not drink and rested after eating.
Early the next morning, as soon as a few people got up, the slaves brought breakfast again.
After eating, everyone also rode horses and rushed to the military camp.
If nothing else goes wrong, the Sirius Army will arrive today, but if they travel in a hurry, they will definitely have to rest for a night before attacking the city.
As soon as they went out, the two of them bumped into Xun Kang coming out of the brothel.
