Volume 1 The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 127 The Midday Offensive (17)
As the first warrior of Nansang Village, Auma also has a certain status in the village, which is not only reflected in the respect of other ordinary people in the village, his prestige among the people around him, but also a little more practical, the trust of the owner of the village.
Auma was able to learn some relatively important news from the owner of the village, and the owner of the village may not have told everyone else. This is like the danger of Nansangzhai to fight with the Luchuan army, the owner of the village said to the ordinary people in the village that the attack on Nansangzhai is only a small force of the Luchuan army, not a large army of the Luchuan army.
The attack on Nansangzhai was not an order of the large army of the Luchuan Army, but this small army acted on its own, as long as this small force could be solved, Nansangzhai would be able to maintain safety.
But Auma is well aware of the danger of this battle, he got information from the owner of the village, this time the Luchuan army came to the vicinity of Nansang Village of thousands of troops, and the initiative to attack Nansang Village is indeed a small number of them, maybe only one or two hundred, but it is very likely that more people will come to support.
With the support of more people, the battle in Nansang Village is likely to face great danger, so the owner of the village quietly instructed Auma to run back to the village immediately and flee with his family if he saw that things were not good.
In order to appease Aouma, the owner of the village even made a promise to bring Aouma's daughter Xi'er to the related village of Manmo.
And after Auma got the news, he quickly understood the danger of this battle, and even the owner of the village himself was determined to die.
If the rest of the people in the village had other ways to choose, the owner of the village did not have it, and the Luchuan power was originally a brutal expansion of the descendants of Sikefa from Mengyang to the Luchuan region, and even the Ava region, and this expansion was in the form of annexation and strong suppression.
After the Luchuan army enters the village, the owner of the village will completely lose his power, and the end will not be better than escaping to other villages, so the owner of Nansang Village finally decided to fight to the death with the Luchuan army.
Auma knew what might happen in this battle, and a warrior like Dao Rong, who had the lowest status among the village lords, was almost about to face the fate of death, and only by taking great luck could he survive in the most dangerous environment.
So he still risked the threat of being discovered and punished by the owner of the village, secretly told Dao Rong about the danger of the battle, and asked Dao Rong to leave and enter the Manggu Mountain before the battle, after all, the time was urgent, and the owner of the village would not delay the battle for Dao Rong alone, nor did he choose to avoid the battle.
Sure enough, the final result of the battle was similar to what Auma imagined, or even more tragic, except for himself, less than ten people survived the battle, and there were only four or five people including him in the follow-up, because of his high prestige in the cottage on weekdays, and his popularity was good, so he was not caught and killed by the later Luchuan army in the village.
What was beyond Aouma's imagination was that he was knocked unconscious in the battle, so he did not escape back to the cottage in time, and fled with the owner of the village, which resulted in the tragic death of the owner's family. Although after the owner of the village himself died in the battle, no one knew that Auma did not complete the task of the owner of the village and lived up to the trust of the owner of the village, but he himself was still uneasy, and because he saw the Luchuan army doing evil in the cottage, and at the same time, because he did not dare to go out because of the avoidance of the Luchuan army, the continuation of his livelihood was also cut off, and he was depressed and his body was haggard and actually suffered from cold and heat.
But there is always a turn for the better, Auma met Jiang Yugang, who came to Nansangzhai and tried to gain the support of ordinary people who were under the strong control of the Luchuan army in Manggu Mountain, Jiang Yugang not only saved Awuma's life, but also led the Ming army and the people of Nansangzhai to completely defeat the Luchuan army entrenched in Manggu Mountain.
Since then, Jiang Yugang is not an exaggeration to say that Auma is the first benefactor, and then, after Nansangzhai was burned down by the fire that occurred in the battle, Jiang Yugang has established a new cottage for the residents of Manggu Mountain, an unprecedented scale of Manggu Castle, Auma admires Jiang Yugang even more, and takes the initiative to follow Jiang Yugang to do things, and also relies on his perennial combat experience and command experience in Manggu Mountain———— he has always had the experience of commanding nearly 100 people to fight under the main account of Nansangzhai Village, The experience of skirmishes may be richer than Jiang Yugang———— and he became an important officer of Jiang Yugang's Manggushan troops.
At that time, because of Aouma's admonition and arrangement, Dao Rong, who escaped before the mortal battle and was able to save his life later, also followed Auma into the newly formed army in Manggu Mountain, and relied on his own clever efforts and Aouma's help everywhere, standing out among the crowd and becoming an array commander.
Jiang Yugang agreed that Dao Rong became the commander of the array, because of his past experience as a warrior of Nansangzhai and his excellent performance in the military camp, and he didn't know about the relationship and past between him and Aouma, otherwise he might not only have doubts about Dao Rong as the commander of the array, but also think more about Aouma's work, but Auma didn't tell him these things, and the people who knew about it almost didn't exist.
Even the soldiers of Nansangzhai in Manggu Mountain, who also participated in the battle at that time and survived, actually couldn't remember what happened to Dao Rong at that time, let alone that Dao Rong would sneak away before the battle after listening to Aouma's arrangement, so as to save his life.
In fact, if Auma himself was to say this, he would definitely not admit that it was out of timidity in the battle, after all, he himself participated in that battle and almost died in battle, he just thought in his heart that Dao Rong was a poor child, his grandmother's only support, and there was no need to die in a mortal battle.
I have to mention Dao Rong's grandmother here, in fact, it was the old woman who received An Bai when Jiang Yugang first went to Nansang Village, but until now, Jiang Yugang still didn't know their relationship. After all, there are too many people in Mang Castle, and his review of the identities of these people only depends on whether they are involved with the Luchuan forces, and whether they are involved with the forces in other villages.
Although the file of the Divine Palace Hall of the Secret Academy had a family background investigation on Dao Rong, the commander of the second battalion and the second array, Jiang Yugang had not read it carefully, and he would not have thought that Dao Rong's grandmother, an old man named "Yu Xian", was actually the old woman he met when he first entered Nansang Village.
He just knew that Daorong's elders were all farmers who had relied on planting for generations in Nansang Village, so he didn't have the heart to continue the investigation, so he missed some details.
And with the establishment of Mang Castle, from less than a hundred, to hundreds, to hundreds, and finally to a few thousand, I don't know how many such details have been ignored by Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yugang has established a series of departments to strengthen his control, such as the Cardinals' Academy, the Divine Hunting Academy, and the Mystical Academy, and has cultivated a group of young people like Meng Liang and Li Zhong who trust, worship and even believe in him.
Dao Rong is an officer who grew up in this kind of reckless castle that Jiang Yu does not know, and it is said that it is the democratic selection of officers that Jiang Yuyan trusts, and it is better to say that it is the officer selected by Aouma's influence. But despite the existence of this unknown relationship between Dao Rong and Aouma, his personal ability is still excellent.
After all, in a relatively other place, he was able to grow up in a Mang Castle unit that attached great importance to learning, and Dao Rong's attitude was positive and his abilities were also proven, including basic cultural literacy, tactical signal issuance and confirmation, as well as the use of various weapons and the command and dispatch methods of the corresponding troops.
As the commander of the array of the firecracker unit, he also has to accurately grasp what kind of shooting arrangements are carried out under which circumstances, and is responsible for the shooting training of the array, and is regularly inspected by the senior personnel of the Divine Hunting Academy———— the apostles, and also the more senior officers.
Aummah would not be a man or cheat in these places, otherwise he would not be recognized by others, and would not be under the close surveillance of the Holy Lower Hall of the Secret Academy.
Therefore, Dao Rong still knows his soldiers very well, and at the same time, he is quite concerned. At this time, he frowned, he had something to say in his heart, and looked at Jiang Yugang and Awuma, who also looked stern, and didn't know whether to say it or not.
Jiang Yugang didn't think too much about it at this time, just simply supervised the work of the craftsmen.
These craftsmen who were transferred in the middle of the night to carry out the blockade of the South City Tower were naturally all from the Mang Ancient Castle, to be precise, the craftsmen of the Mang Ancient Castle Tiangong Academy, and they were the most recognized subordinates of Dao Yunyue. It stands to reason that the current Mengyang City is the most dangerous place, and it is an irrational adventure to transfer the highest-level craftsmen to such a place.
But since Jiang Yugang has made up his mind to defend Mengyangcheng, then everyone can't, and shouldn't have other ideas, Mengyangcheng has not considered the result of being attacked and retreating, all the back roads must be blocked, and naturally he will not think about leaving people to plan for the future, everything needs to go all out now.
Therefore, Jiang Yugang took special care of Dao Yunyue and sent the best craftsmen to come over, and to seal the South City Tower as tightly as possible in the shortest possible time, so as not to give the enemies outside the city a chance to attack the city, and not to give the people in the city a retreat to give up the imagination of Mengyang City.
And this kind of thing, in the final analysis, there is still some controversy, handed over to the craftsmen in the city, Jiang Yu is not worried about their skill level, but also doubts their reliability, if there is a news that the city gate is being sealed at night, it will not be good to cause panic.
All he needed was that by the next day, everyone in Mengyang City would recognize the reality and fight to the death, and no one could retreat.
At the same time, Jiang Yuxuan personally watched these works for the above two purposes, one is to ensure the reliability of the project itself, and the other is to ensure the confidentiality and orderliness of the entire blockade of the city gate, so as not to cause riots.
Dao Rong was worried about something else, he was not afraid of Meng Yangcheng's death, after all, the military lord and Auma were here, they still held on, and he had no reason to be afraid. But as the manager and person in charge of an array of hundreds of people, he was still worried about the safety of his soldiers.
In this eerie silence, it may not be considered silence, because the work of the craftsmen still makes all kinds of noises. Dao Rong still raised the question: "Lord, after the city gate is sealed, what should the soldiers in the fortifications outside do?" ”
