Chapter 0582 Military Discipline

The wagon, covered in raw skin, was moving slowly, rushing up and down the city.

The cart has four wheels, no bottom, and the ten soldiers in the car are all with rings on their waists, with their feet on the ground and pushing the cart with both hands.

The cart soon came into range of the crossbow arrows, and only the sound of "Peng Peng" began to be heard, which was the sound of arrow feathers hitting the wagon, and the soldier standing at the front could clearly see that the arrow feathers were constantly falling on the ground in front of them.

The further forward you go, the more powerful the arrow feathers become.

With a "poof", less than thirty paces from the city, at last an arrow feather pierced through the wagon, grazed the face of one of the soldiers, and splashed a line of blood.

The soldier's body tensed all of a sudden, and his eyes looked straight at the arrow, and it almost passed through his head.

Behind the cart, there was also a wooden cart, on which the wheels were installed, a large plank was propped up, and the soldiers lowered their heads, hid behind the planks, buried their heads in the cart, and went straight to the city.

The most humble thing is the shield held up by the soldier with one hand, shouting and charging the city.

Even so, they were lucky, and more soldiers rushed up directly pushing the ladder, and their bodies were directly exposed to the range of the enemy's bows and crossbows in the city.

There is a momentum that covers the sky and the sun, coupled with the effect of gravity, and from time to time there is a bright light, which falls on the head of the Han army like a baptism of rain.

The Han soldiers who rushed forward, many of them had blood flowers on their bodies from time to time, and they still had the inertia to rush forward for a few steps, and then they fell to the ground softly because they lost the support of their strength.

Even if they rushed to the city, the simple ladder still couldn't give the soldiers much protection.

Far from decreasing, the arrows were not reduced, but there were also rolling stones of wood falling from the city.

The soldier who climbed halfway up, after being hit, screamed miserably, turned over and fell directly, and fell into a blur of flesh and blood.

The very few teams that could go up bravely, just crossed the female wall, a few spears stabbed over, and before he could see what was on the wall, he was lifted high, and his body in mid-air floated blood, dripping with a blood mist.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

Taking advantage of the fact that the soldiers followed the ladder ant attachment to the city, the rushing cart finally found an opportunity to hit the city gate, and the crashing wood made of huge logs crashed into the city gate again and again, and countless dust flew up.

It's a pity that behind the thick city gate, it has already been blocked with roof beams, stones, logs and other objects.

Even though the rocks and logs kept tumbling down, the gates still stood there, showing no sign of opening.

On the contrary, a stone suddenly fell down, and some of the soldiers pushing the rushing car screamed miserably and fell to the ground.

Since ancient times, sieges have been made by people taking and filling in the piles.

The Han army under the city was not completely powerless, only to see someone push out a huge oar shield, standing not far from the city, the archers relied on the protection of the oar shield, and began to draw the bow and shoot.

For a time, the arrows rained down.

Cao Bing, who was standing at the head of the city and struggling to shoot arrows, was caught off guard, and more than a dozen people had arrow feathers inserted into their foreheads, heads, chests, etc., red and white, and the filth flowed sideways, making a "uh-uh" sound, and fell on the city wall.

What's more, they fell directly outside the city.

Arrows shot from under the city were more likely to hit the walls, or were bounced down, or plunged directly into the walls.

After a while, many places on the city wall were conveniently filled with arrows, like a forest of arrows.

Wu Yi stood on a small hillside, watching the soldiers keep falling and making up, with heavy casualties, still no progress, and his brows furrowed.

This Shangcheng is worthy of Emperor Guangwu, who sent tens of thousands of horses to attack the fortified city that he failed to conquer for several months.

The tributaries of the Weishui River are used as moats, and now the spring is at the beginning of spring, when the ice melts at the source of the Weishui River, and the river water is sufficient.

In addition, there is Linwei County in the rear, and the guards in the city have no worries at all, and they have the heart to hold on.

Now after nearly ten days of attack, the moat has been filled, and it has touched the city wall, but it has already lost more than 4,000 soldiers.

Seeing that the soldiers rushed three times, the ladder gradually collapsed, and the morale began to decline, Wu Yi knew that today could only end here.

The sound of gold rose, and the soldiers retreated like a tide.

Cheers rang out from the city.

After a while, the Han army's auxiliaries came over empty-handed, unarmoured, and armoured, and began to silently clean up the corpses under the city, while removing the wailing wounded soldiers.

The defenders of the city did not shoot arrows with their bows, but watched vigilantly.

When the Han army auxiliaries were cleaned up, there was a small pile of corpses piled up underneath that had not been transported, which was turned down from the city by the unlucky ghost of the Cao army.

So the city began to hang hanging baskets, and Cao Jun sent men to transport back the corpses of his comrades.

From Wuxiang City in Longxi County in the westernmost part, to Jicheng City in Tianshui County, then Shangtai City, and then to Linwei City in Nan'an, they are all built next to Weishui.

At the same time, the same river, a similar situation was also staged in Wuxiangcheng and Jicheng.

Cao Wei's soldiers relied on the city and inflicted considerable losses on the Han army.

They all knew that if they dragged on for a long time, the reinforcements of the imperial court would be nearly a day's journey, and the more beneficial it would be to them.

A day after Feng Yong's departure, Ma Jian also set off, aiming at Jieting, and the two armies were connected end to end, winding like a long snake.

This was Feng Yong's first real lead attack, and the time he crossed the mountain, dealing with the slavery and semi-slavery Yiren could only be regarded as a warm-up.

On the other side of Longshan, Zhang He led the same long snake-like team and was advancing rapidly.

The two teams are likely to collide with huge sparks at one location.

From Jicheng to the north to Longshan, there is a place that must be passed, that is, the east gate of Longyou.

Luoyang is located in Pingchuan, the land is fertile, before Ma Chao Chao Liangzhou, it was a rich land.

Later, Ma Chao cut off Longyou, and the Longyou portal became a place of war, Xiahou Yuan went to Longlong several times, all passed through here, and as a result, Luoyang gradually declined.

Later, Cao Cao moved the people of Hanzhong to Luoyang Yecheng and other places, and Longyou's vitality was greatly damaged.

In addition, Cao Wei did not have many troops in Longyou, in order to prevent similar things from happening to Ma Chao again, so Cao Wei consciously destroyed some of the strategic points in Longyou that blocked the advance in the direction of Guanzhong.

Street Pavilion and Luoyang are all in this list.

After nearly ten years of recuperation, there are still not many people in Luoyang City today, and there are not even soldiers guarding the city.

When the people in the city heard that the Han army was coming, they all came out to greet the king with trepidation.

Zhao Guangzong immediately stepped forward, only to see that there were only one or two hundred people standing in front of the ruined city gate of Luoyang, most of them were dressed in tatters, and the one standing in the middle was only a little cleaner and tidy.

"I see that there are a lot of fields in this slightly sunny area, why are there only so many of you in the city?"

Zhao Guang turned over and dismounted, and asked.

"General Hui, this is slightly yang, the imperial court ...... No, it's the Cao thief, and there is no county office. In fact, most of these granges were sent by those big families in Qingshui and Jicheng to open up the wasteland. ”

"When I heard that Master Wang was coming, I had already fled back, leaving me and waiting for these people to have nowhere to go to welcome Master Wang."

The old man in the middle had a humble smile on his face, but he couldn't hide his body trembling slightly because of fear.

Zhao Guang glanced at the things in the hands of the people in front of him, but it was just some food and water.

He nodded his head at the moment, got on his horse again, and commanded, "In that case, then you shall return to the city and not go out at will." After the army, it can come out on its own. ”

"Thank you, General! Thank you, General! ”

Seeing that Zhao Guang had no intention of plundering, the people were grateful, put down the food and water in their hands, and hurriedly rushed back to the ruined city and scattered.

After a while, only three civilians were left standing still.

The first person stepped forward and showed a waist card, which the guard took and handed to Zhao Guang.

Zhao Guang looked at it, threw the waist card back, and suddenly asked, "Who has not died since ancient times?" ”

"If you die sooner or later, you have to die!"

Someone answered.

The code was right, and Zhao Guang nodded, "What's the situation in the city?" ”

"Back to the general, everything is normal."

"Is there any response up ahead?"

"I just sent a message two days ago."

"Well, then, return to the team, go to the back, tell me all you know, and the steward of his own chivalrous line will give you a reward."

"Thank you, General."

The faces of these three rangers pretending to be ordinary people were all happy, and they clasped their fists and saluted.

Today's Hanzhong Nanxiang is a place of fascination in the hearts of rangers.

I heard that in the whole world, only there is a real style of ancient chivalry.

The rangers in Shuzhong, Longyou, Liangzhou, Guanzhong, Jingzhou and other places, as long as they know "The Legend of Purple Electric Green Frost" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", they all want to visit Nanxiang.

If the ranger does not go to Nanxiang, it is in vain to call him a hero.

This sentence has now been circulated in the mouths of rangers in the above-mentioned places, and even the rangers in the Central Plains have heard of it.

Before Zhao Guang came to Shoufu County two years ago, Feng Yong had to personally explain that these three places in Jieting, Longkou, and Wang County were the top priority of the investigation.

Nanxiang Ranger is extraordinary, and he has traveled for a long time, such a good resource, with Li Yi's mind, how could he miss it?

These three rangers are just one of the many rangers scattered across the land of Longyou.

Zhao Guang's identity is extraordinary, so there is no need to give the ranger too good a face, but the steward of the chivalrous line is full of admiration, and he bowed and said, "The three heroes have worked hard!" ”

Just one sentence made the faces of these three people look satisfied.

Listen, hero!

Nowadays, there are more and more rangers in Nanxiang, but how many are qualified to be called heroes?

Coupled with the rich reward, in the words of a certain turtle, it is the double satisfaction of material and spiritual, how can it not be justified to die?

Feng Yong led the army across the border, although the people of Luoyang were frightened, but they were not harassed, and they were finally relieved when the army left, and at the same time they were secretly rejoicing.

This great Han teacher really has the demeanor of a king.

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, two days later, another Han army came from the south and set up camp in the original camp of the departing army.

This time, the people of LΓΌyang finally had experience, and they felt that as long as they were obedient, there would be no problems.

It was night, and a few dark shadows sneaked out of the camp and went straight to the city of Luoyang, which had no city gate.

After fumbling around for a while, I heard someone ask in a low voice, "Is this the case?" ”

"Yes, I followed the woman during the day, just to see her enter the house. She thought she wouldn't attract attention if she was plastered with dust, but she didn't know that in my eyes, she was no different from stripping her clothes...... Hey! ”

Another voice spoke, and there was the sound of swallowing.

In the cold night, there was a faint flash of swords, and with a clatter, the door that was not firm was opened.

After a while, I heard the sound of a dog barking and the exclamation of a woman.

"Who are you and what are you going to do?"

The man in the room asked with courage and trembling.

"It's nothing, I just want to talk to this little lady......"

"Haha......"

"You ...... Are you soldiers of the Han army? ”

It was good that the man didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, several of the soldiers changed their faces.

At that moment, someone looked at the man and said gloomily, "What soldiers of the Han army?" Listening to you, it turns out that you are a thief, it seems that we have not come to the wrong place this time! ”

"That's right. Investigate carefully, lest someone secretly report to the thief, it seems that we have to take a good look at your house. ”

Once the excuse was found, several people suddenly gained a lot of courage, even if they were in front of the general tomorrow, there would be an excuse.

"No, no, a few generals, villains here, it's not a Cao thief......"

The man hurriedly begged for mercy, but several soldiers looked at the woman who was only wearing a single clothes, and they couldn't listen to it, so they immediately pushed the man aside and stepped forward to pull the woman over.

"General......

"Get out!"

"I'm fighting with you!"

The man saw that his mother-in-law was about to fall into the tiger's mouth, and his eyes were red, so he was going to pounce on it and fight hard.

It's just that he is unarmed, how many opponents are he? After a few strokes, he was kicked to the ground.

The movement in the house finally disturbed the next door, and only the barking of the dog was heard suddenly.

Some people secretly listened to the cries for help from a woman not far away through the crack in the door, and some people silently bolted the door.

Outside the city there were torches shaking, and a group of soldiers hurried into the city, followed the sound, and kicked the door open.

A few people in the brain of the sperm worm saw the person clearly, and hurriedly shouted, "General Liu!" ”

The soldier who was lying on the woman's stomach trembled, crawled down with a rolling belt, grabbed his clothes, and put them on himself.

"Tie them all up for me!"

Liu Yin saw everything in the house, his eyes were full of fire, and he gritted his teeth.

At the same time, he took off his cloak and put it over the woman.

Ma Tan had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by the guards.

It was a very tiring thing to lead the army to hurry, and he couldn't sleep well, Ma Jian got up very angrily, and when he heard that there were still people making noise outside the tent, he shouted angrily, "Who is making noise in the camp in the middle of the night!" ”

When the lights and candles were lit, I saw Liu Yin and Li Sheng, the two generals of the department, hugging into the tent.

"You and the other two are both generals who lead the army, don't you know the rules of the army? took the lead in making noise at night, do you really think that I can't practice military law? ”

Ma Jian sat in the tent and saw that his subordinates were even more angry.

"Back to the general, the last general patrolled at night, tied up a non-commissioned officer who violated military law, and wanted to report to the general early tomorrow morning, but I didn't expect General Li to find the last general in the middle of the night. The last general didn't give it, he even wanted to rob people, so the last general quarreled with him. ”

Liu Yin clasped his fists and saluted.

Li Sheng hurriedly said with a smile on his face, "How can General Rauma personally ask about such a trivial matter?" You and I can just discuss it in private, and it won't cause a big mistake. ”

When Ma Tan heard this, he frowned and said, "A soldier who violates military law? What's going on? ”

"Back to the general, there were three soldiers at night, who took the opportunity of changing the guard to escape from the camp and enter the city, wanting to do something wrong to the woman, and were tied up by a certain leader."

"What did you say?" Ma Jian stood up abruptly and shouted, "There are soldiers who dare to commit rape? Lewdness? ”

The prime minister led the army to Longlong, ordered Mingsu, and rarely disturbed the people.

Plus rape? Adultery and plunder is a taboo in the army, and anyone who dares to violate this prohibition should be beheaded.

"The general is angry!" Li Sheng hurriedly said, "These people just want to do wrong, and they haven't made a big mistake yet." ”

"If it hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid it might not have been as easy as General Li said."

Liu Yin scolded angrily.

"So I still have to thank General Li for this matter!" Li Sheng said with a smile, "It's just that in someone's opinion, this matter is at night, and few people know about it for the time being, so if you can suppress it, it is naturally best to suppress it." ”

"If it is widely publicized, it will let all the people of Luoyang City know about it, isn't this letting their ugly things be exposed to others? Therefore, he felt that the urgent task at present was to appease the family first, so that they could not talk nonsense, so as not to ruin the reputation of the army. ”

"And now it's time to use the army, in my opinion, it is better to put them on death row and make them charge forward in the future. First, this can be regarded as a military law for them, and second, it can make them desperately make meritorious contributions to atone for their sins. ”

"In the past, the king of Chuzhuang set up a desperate meeting and won the fierce general Tang cunning, and I know that General Ma can't get a warrior today?"
