Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

As these people retreated, the torches were extinguished one by one, further and further away.

After Guo Ye led the crowd to kill and came forward, the people who attacked the city and harassed the city were not far away.

Seeing this, Guo Ye rejoiced in his heart, pretending to be Tang Jun, it really worked.

Guo Ye still understands the truth that the poor should not chase after them, and the forest should not enter.

Immediately, he sent another order to stop the pursuit and rest on the spot.

After the [-] Longxi Army stopped and rested in an open space outside Tucheng, Kang Bao ran forward and shouted to Guo Ye: "Brother, did you hear that just now? It seems that these people are not Tubo cavalry. "

Guo Ye nodded to express his agreement with Kang Bao's opinion, because he also vaguely heard the slogans of "the wind is tight" and "big boss" just now, and even though it was in the northwest dialect, he still understood it somewhat.

Seeing Guo Ye nodding his head, Kang Bao blurted out and asked: "Since they are not Tubo cavalry, they are more like bandits or Northwest horse thieves, brother, why didn't you give the order to pursue them just now? Tsk tsk, you didn't realize that the horses they were riding were all Is it a good war horse? Tsk tsk, just by hearing the neighing of this horse and the sound of its hooves landing, I can tell that it is indeed a good war horse in the Northwest."

After saying that, he shook his head and sighed with great regret.

But Guo Ye replied: "Brother Kang, do you really think that I am not greedy for those war horses? What's more, I am even more curious about how there are so many high-quality war horses among these hundreds of people who look like bandits and horse thieves. Isn't it strange to say?"

After listening to Guo Ye's words, Kang Bao was obviously more confused. He thought, since you are very interested, why don't you order to chase up and find out?

Guo Ye's face was indifferent, his eyes were wise and calm, and he could clearly see the speculation in Kang Bao's mind.

Immediately he pointed to the [-] Longxi soldiers who were crowded in darkness on the open ground, all of them turned their backs on their horses and were extremely tired.

Then he said: "Look at our brother, we have been driving for almost a day and a night, how can we still have the strength to fight the enemy? Otherwise, the younger brother would not have bluffed and pretended to be Tang Jun just now. Just kill him and fuck his mother." "

"Well……"

It was only then that Kang Bao suddenly realized that a tired teacher really should not be conquered.

Then he nodded and said: "Brother is very worried, and our current task is to go north to Turkic, so we can't waste our time here, so what, shall we first rest in Tucheng for a night, and then start tomorrow morning?"

Guo Ye said yes with a smile, and said: "We have relieved the siege of the Tucheng defenders. It must be inevitable for us to go to the city to rest. Maybe we can reward us with big fish and meat."

"Haha, it's a good feeling, grandma, I'm as tired as a dog these days, but I haven't tasted meat for a long time."

Kang Bao laughed loudly, while Guo Ye had already arranged for Guan Jiujiu to bring a few soldiers to Tucheng to call the door, so that they could enter the city to rest.

After a while, Guan Jiujiu came back to Guo Ye with a look of indignation on his face.

Then he pointed at the top of the Tucheng city two hundred steps away, and cursed angrily: "Master Bingsi, this Tucheng defender is really ungrateful, his conscience has been taken away by wild dogs."

Seeing this, Guo Ye asked in surprise, "What's going on? They didn't open the city gate?"

Guan Jiujiu gritted her teeth and stomped her feet angrily, and nodded bitterly.

Kang Bao who was on the side asked urgently: "Grandma, didn't you tell them that although we in Longxi are not guarding the Tang army on the border, we are also soldiers of the local army and belong to the same branch of the army?"

Faced with Kang Bao's reprimand, Guan Jiujiu yelled at Qu and said, "I said it, why didn't I say it? Guess what the Tucheng defenders said? They said, thank you for our righteous rescue, but they can't let us enter the city, let us Sleep outside the city for one night and leave immediately tomorrow morning."

"My grass!"

After hearing this, Kang Bao couldn't calm down anymore, and cursed: "They really said that? I'm going to beat these heartless bastards to death."

All of a sudden, Pang Feihu, Cheng Erniu, Ruan Laosan, Gan Zhushou and others also surrounded him one after another, gearing their fists and responding to Kang Bao's actions.

This is too fucking aggrieved. After saving them, not only did they not hold banquets, butchered cattle and sheep to reward them, and they were not allowed to go to the city to rest.

Where in the world is there such an ungrateful person?

Just when everyone was furious and plotted to teach the Tucheng defenders a lesson, Guo Ye suddenly shouted: "Everyone, don't be impatient, calm down first."

Then he pointed to the top of the Tucheng city two hundred steps away, and shouted with a very strange expression: "Everyone, look, don't you notice that the big flag on the top of the city is different?"

Ok?

Everyone hummed a suspicious nasal sound one after another, turned their heads to look at the yellow dragon flag fluttering in the wind on the top of the city, and stared at it intently.

When they looked over, they were puzzled for the first time in their minds. What's the difference? Isn't it the dragon flag of my Datang?

This is so strange, whether it is a marching camp or a place where troops are stationed, it is very common to have a dragon flag representing the majesty of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

The existence of the dragon flag, at least let the soldiers know who you are fighting for; at least let the enemy know who is the army in front of you.

Guo Ye stared at the dragon flag sharply,

Everyone continued to stare at the dragon flag intently,

suddenly,

Guan Jiujiu suddenly jumped up, as if he had realized the truth once, and he yelled in a long and strange tone: "I-know-dao!!!"

Chapter 220 Guo Yeyue scolded before leaving the battle

A pole inlaid with a yellow dragon flag stands on the head of the city. Although it is alone, it is very eye-catching.

Under the stars and the moon, everyone could clearly see the scales of the five-clawed golden dragon on the dragon flag, glowing yellow. Obviously, the dragon scales on the dragon flag were all hand-embroidered with pure gold thread.

From this, it can be judged that this dragon flag is by no means the dragon flag widely used in the ordinary army. If every marching camp and garrison places use dragon flags inlaid with gold threads, how rich will the Tang treasury be?

However, Guo Ye knew that this was not the point.

The point is, he found that this dragon flag was not embroidered with the word "Li" like all the dragon flags of Datang.

On the contrary, this dragon flag has nothing but a red background with a yellow border and a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on it.

Inexplicably, an idea came to Guo Ye's mind. Could it be that these people were not Tang Jun who guarded Tucheng on the border?

But if it wasn't for Tang Jun, these Tucheng defenders were obviously speaking with a Central Plains accent when they scolded the enemy city just now.

So contradictory!

For a while, although Guo Ye saw the clue, he couldn't think of a reason.

At this time, Kang Bao suddenly patted his head and exclaimed: "Brother, something is wrong! According to common sense, there should be two flags in this Tucheng. One big and one small, the big one is our big one." Tang’s dragon flag, the smaller one is the battle flag of Tucheng defender. You see, there is only a dragon flag on the top of this Tucheng city, and I don’t know if it is our Tang’s dragon flag. It’s so weird!”

When Kang Bao woke up so suddenly, everyone immediately realized that the blame was here.

Guo Ye also suddenly realized, that's right, in the ancient army, all troops had dragon flags and guard flags coexisting.The dragon flag is large, which represents the country; while the guard flag is small, it often represents the commander or general of an army, and if it is a frontier army, it also represents the number.If it is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, it will be slightly larger than this guard flag, also known as the commander-in-chief flag, where the commander-in-chief flag is placed represents where the commander-in-chief is.And on the top of this Tucheng city, the only thing missing is the flag of the guard.

When watching movies and TV dramas, I often see two confrontations. Both sides have flag bearers, with the surname of the general, Zhou Wu, Zheng Wang, etc. written on it.Wherever the main general is, the flag-carrying soldiers ride their horses and follow, which often plays a role in stabilizing the morale of the army and invigorating the morale of the army.

In the same way, as long as you are handsome or knock down the flag, the morale of the army will suddenly be shattered, which means that the army is not far from defeat or even extinction.

Weird!

At this moment, Guo Ye seemed to think of something, and Kang Bao, the oldest man in the military, also thought of something. The two looked at each other with surprise and weirdness in their eyes.
