Chapter 252: Little People
Night began to fall, the city that had been noisy for a day returned to tranquility, standing on the city wall, Li Shan looked down at the familiar city, separated by a wall, but now it belonged to two forces.
Somehow, Li Shan began to miss the widow Zhang who sold tofu in Qifang City, his woman had been dead for many years, in order to support his son, so that his son could get ahead in the future, Li Shan had not remarried over the years, Widow Zhang was he became a military marquis, and he met in Fang City after he began to have some spare money, it was a very tasteful woman, Li Shan fell in love at a glance.
This year, a man has made meritorious deeds, and it is not difficult to find a woman who is about the same, although the military marquis is not a high-ranking official, but among ordinary people, it can be regarded as a powerful kind, before the war, he asked someone to propose marriage to Widow Zhang, and Widow Zhang also agreed.
I wonder how she is now?
Yecheng broke so fast, until now Li Shan didn't understand how this city was broken, so Chen Mo really has the power of ghosts and gods?
I can't say that I am in any mood, after all, he has been loyal to the Yuan family for more than ten years, Chen Mo is an enemy and an invader in Li Shan's eyes, and although those shouts in the city are mortals, they also make Li Shan breathe a sigh of relief.
In any case, Chen Mo is considered to be a more benevolent and righteous prince today, Cao Cao has slaughtered the city, and Yuan Shao has also slaughtered it, but only Chen Mo has never heard of a slaughter of the city, this time, Li Shan is a little glad that their enemy is Chen Mo and not Cao Cao, at least in this way, Widow Zhang will not be in any danger.
However, the strict discipline of the Guanzhong Army also made Li Shan's heart sink, and there are not many ways to see the military discipline of a unit on the battlefield, and there are only two situations to really see whether the military discipline of a unit is strict, one is when it is defeated, and the other is the ability of the generals to restrain the troops after the city is broken.
The defeat of the Guanzhong army is relatively small, and Li Shan has never seen it, but the performance of the other party after entering the city is that this is a force with strict military discipline, such a force is respectable for the people, in the troubled times, the people actually don't ask for much, just live on the line, no matter how brutal the Guanzhong army is on the battlefield, but at least the people's troops will not be used in vain, and most of the people will not have malicious will towards them in such years.
But as an enemy, Li Shan's heart is more fearful, when Yecheng was not broken, the bravery of the Guanzhong army left a deep impression on him, it is difficult to imagine that such an army that fought and did not want to die, but after entering the city, it was so calm, the crazy enemy was not terrible, but the enemy who was fierce during the battle and could calm down quickly after the war was terrible, and the Guanzhong army happened to be like this.
Li Shan always thought that such an army only existed in legends, but he didn't expect that one day he would be able to see it with his own eyes and even fight with it.
Thinking about it this way, Li Shan felt that it was a miracle that he could survive.
The mood of the surrounding soldiers was very low, how quickly the morale of the Guanzhong army rose after discovering that the Guanzhong army was not invincible and repelled it for several days, and how hard their morale fell after today's city slope.
Quietly wiping the knife that was already full of gaps, he didn't know when the next battle would take place, but judging from his years of combat experience, it shouldn't be too long.
"General!?" Just as Li Shan was wandering outside the world, there was an exclamation from the soldiers in the distance, this general was obviously not called him, a military marquis, and he was not enough to be called a general.
Subconsciously stood up straight, Li Shan turned his head to look, and saw Gao Gan and a group of people distributing food to the soldiers, today's food is special and marquis, and there is even meat.
"Eat more, someone will come to change the guard in a while, and a rest camp has been built for everyone." Gao Gan personally distributed food to the soldiers, the tempting aroma, they soldiers probably have never eaten such food in their lives, at least Li Shan has never eaten it.
Obviously, Gao Gan is appeasing people's hearts in this way, although it may not be useful, but at least everyone is more comfortable.
Li Shan put away the knife, came to Gao Gan, and intervened: "I've seen the general!" ”
"You are Li ......" Gao Gan was a little embarrassed, he couldn't remember the names of the military marquis in front of him, in fact, he didn't remember the names of most of the military marquis, and the military marquis in front of him still fought bravely to kill the enemy when he broke through before, which made a deep impression on Gao Gan.
"The last general, Li Shan!" Li Shan bowed and didn't say much, he was just a small military marquis, and he was not many levels behind a character like Gao Gan, and it was quite rare to remember his surname.
"It just so happens that I'm here to find you." Gao Gan asked the guards behind him to continue distributing food and looked at Li Shandao.
"Command, General." Li Shan bowed and said.
"The generals of the army are dead, you are brave, Mr. Zhengnan also appreciates you, and decided to promote you to the captain of the city gate, in charge of the two soldiers, this is a military talisman, the soldiers and horses on this section of the city wall are all commanded by you, are you willing?" Gao Gan handed over a prepared seal to Li Shan.
"Thank you, General!" Although he knew that this was a helpless move, and the generals in the army were no longer enough, so he had to select some people from among them to serve as captains, but Li Shan's heart still couldn't help but thump.
The military marquis to the captain, there is also a military Sima in the middle, which can be regarded as an exceptional promotion, and more importantly, with Li Shan's background, it is usually impossible to break through the restrictions of origin, even if the military Sima is an unattainable luxury in this life, as for the captain, he can already be called a general, before the troubled times, the captain is a middle-level general in the army, even now, he has a certain amount of military power, and he can have his own personal soldiers.
If he can live, his son can also call himself the son of Jiangmen, which is not a simple military promotion, but a leap in identity, something that he dare not think of in peacetime.
"Defend the city well, now that the imperial court is at the time of employing people, as long as you make military achievements, you can be promoted in the future." Gao Gan laughed.
"Whoa!" Li Shan said solemnly, the blood of his youth seems to have returned.
Gao Gan did not stay for a long time, he wanted to promote the military generals are not only Li Shan, today's defeat, many generals directly voted for the Guanzhong Army, so that although there are still soldiers in the inner city at this moment, but there are no generals, a group of new generals must be promoted as soon as possible to make up for the lack of generals.
"Congratulations General!" Several military marquis around have come up and saluted Li Shan, without too much envy, after all, how long this inner city can be defended, no one can say, and now he is promoted to captain, but it means that there is no one available in the imperial court, and some veteran military marquis have to be promoted from the army to serve as generals.
"Thank you." Li Shan nodded, wanting to be more serious, but the corners of his mouth were unconsciously curled, looking a little funny.
"The Guanzhong army may attack the city at any time, you will arrange for half of the men to rest, the other half to be on guard, and then replace them in the second half of the night." Li Shan saw that there was something wrong with everyone's gaze towards him, so he hurriedly made himself more serious and said in a deep voice.
"Whoa!"
Everyone agreed and left, Li Shan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the lights of the outer city, and silently clenched his fists, he must defend it, defend Yecheng, and at the same time keep his position as a general who has fought so hard.
Time passed quietly in Li Shan's inexplicable emotion, and in the second half of the night, Li Shan began to arrange for a change of guard, and at this time, there was a sudden sound of fighting in the distance, it was the direction of Xicheng, Li Shan remembered that General Zhang Yi was guarding, and that was also a famous general in Jizhou, but after coming back this time, he was punished and demoted to the captain of the city gate.
Not good!?
Suddenly thinking of something, Li Shan's face changed, he looked in the direction of the west gate, and shouted angrily: "Zhao Mang, Zhang Er, you two lead your troops to come with me, and the others continue to defend the city!" ”
No matter which gate is broken, it will be all over, Li Shan doesn't know what happened, but he faintly feels that Zhang Yi is likely to surrender, after all, at this time, the Yecheng defenders have gone, and Zhang Yi has just been demoted, and it is not a strange thing to hold a grudge, and today there are many generals who surrendered to the Guanzhong Army, and most of the generals in Jizhou have friendships with each other, and some are still relatives, at this time, it is also possible to be rebelled.
Li Shan's reaction was the fastest one, but it was still too late, and when he led his troops to the vicinity of the West Gate, the gate of the West Gate had already opened, and the Guanzhong army poured in like a tide, rushing in all directions.
"Array up to meet the enemy!" Li Shan roared, and quickly ordered people to form a formation, at this time, there was no way to control too much, the Guanzhong army had already discovered them and killed them, and they met on a narrow road, even if they knew that the Guanzhong army was brave, Li Shan would not retreat.
The Jizhou army has already reacted to kill around, the Guanzhong army and the Jizhou army are fighting together in the night, the scope of the fight is spreading to the entire inner city, Li Shan was quickly defeated, without the benefit of the city wall, the gap in morale between the Jizhou soldiers and the Guanzhong generals is enough to crush an elite, not to mention that Li Shan never thinks that his generals are elite.
However, the performance of Li Shan's team surprised Gao Shun on the opposite side, in front of the camp, it can support the troops for such a long time without an advantage in numbers, which can be regarded as elite.
Gao Shun looked at Li Shan's subordinates who fled backwards, although they were defeated, they still maintained some formations, isn't it bad!
Gao Shun raised his voice and shouted: "The enemy general can leave his name!" ”
No one answered, although he had become a general, Li Shan subconsciously thought that the other party was calling someone else, after all, before tonight, he was still a military marquis, and he had nothing to do with the general.
Gao Shun: "......"
Looking around, the Guanzhong army had begun to occupy the high ground, Zhang Ji had already led the army to seize the palace, and it was of little significance for him to participate, so he pointed to the direction of the other party's escape and said: "Chase!" ”
Looking at the scale of the other party, it should be a figure at the level of a military commander or a captain, but it is a talent, and Gao Shun wants to take it under his command.
