Chapter 264: Entanglement of Neighboring Countries!
The speed of the soldiers is not fast, and in a flash, everyone has come to Xingheng City.
Looking at the towering walls, Udir commanded: "Brothers, it is getting dark, let us set up camp here!" ”
Soldiers packed their bags and packed their tents from place to place, some lit fires and cooked, others squatting and standing guard.
A number of beacon platforms appeared outside Xingheng City, and the bonfires also lit up people's eyes.
Udir ordered: "Brothers, work hard, it will be completed soon." ”
It was close to night when we arrived here, and everyone was anxious in this place where the sunset was shining.
In a spacious tent, marls are tossing and turning.
Somehow, since he went through that battle, he felt that his lower abdomen was in pain, as if there were thousands of insects and flies biting him.
He didn't want the other soldiers to know, but he couldn't help but mess with his tortured body.
At this moment, Udil came over, rubbing and measuring it repeatedly, as if he was meditating for a moment to enter, what he did not know was the physical condition of his second brother inside the tent.
The two soldiers stood in front of the tent where the drought was located, their eyes blazing.
"Hello General Wu!" The two soldiers bowed their hands.
In this Northern Expeditionary Army, no one did not know this Udil.
Udir waved his hand and said, "You guys stand down, I have something to find my second brother!" ”
The two of them heard Udir's words and walked away.
Udil pulled the curtain of the tent and said, "Second brother, I'm in." ”
"Come in." The dart spoke, but his voice was very weak.
Udir hurried in, and when he entered the back room, a strange smell came to his face, and for some reason, at this moment, he felt it strongly, as if he had been edified by some kind of sulfur.
Udir asked, "Second brother, what is hidden in your room?" Why does it smell weird? ”
He patted his sleeve and said with a smile: "It's nothing, big brother, you smelled it wrong, how could there be anything else?" ”
Udir thought for a moment, then tried to sniff the side with his nose.
At this time, Udir said: "The smell is strong, and it comes from your body. You turn around and let Big Brother smell it. ”
The marquin turned, and Udil leaned in, but at this moment, no matter how he smelled it, the smell seemed to be gone.
"Big brother, why did you come to me?" ”
Udir retracted his gaze, and then looked like nothing serious, and said, "Okay, it's okay." I'm looking for you, just to talk about this siege. ”
The dartle patted his chest and said, "Big brother, didn't you say yes?" This siege city, everything is not a problem with me. ”
Udir said, "I don't mean that, but we must have a careful plan when we came to this wall. For example, if you rush up, you will kill someone when you see it! ”
Drought Fish patted him on the shoulder and said, "Big brother, you are more reckless than me!" ”
Udir smiled, so bright and innocent in his smile.
"Or the second brother will make a plan?" Udir continued to tease.
Dryland turned his huge head, and thought about it for a long time to no avail, and finally he had to stop thinking about that kind of thing.
"That's it, let's leave it to the eldest brother to make suggestions, and when the eldest brother has made up his mind, remember to call me, and I am willing to be the vanguard of the eldest brother's plan."
When Udir heard the words of the drought fish, he shook his head and said: "Second brother, you see, it's not that the eldest brother has a good brain, but the eldest brother also knows that you are all good at fighting wars. ”
Drought snickered and said, "Big brother, is this a shortcoming?" ”
Udir let out an "um".
Then, Udir clapped his palms and said, "Come in." ”
A group of others appeared in the room.
Udir introduced: "This is called Jiang Huan, and he is a famous bachelor. This is called Wang Jin, and he used to be a teacher in Luoyang. This is called Wen Shiliang, and he is also a famous bachelor......"
After introducing them one by one, they put them in the middle of the house of the marry.
Jiang Huan said: "This Xingheng City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not suitable for frontal attack, it should be outwitted." ”
Wang Jin said: "The difference between this statement, attacking the city, should have killed people, and only by being brave and unparalleled can we win the enemy"
Wen Shiliang said: "In fact, what the two of them said is too one-sided, killing and attacking the city, outwitting and bravely must pay attention to a degree, under what circumstances, pay attention to outwitting, under what circumstances pay attention to bravery, my personal opinion still depends on the specific situation." Now, the city is impregnable, but, as far as I know, because of the mountains behind it, the water sources of the city do not all come from the city, but have to be transported from distant mountains, so we only need to send people to block their water sources and surround them for several days and nights, and they will not attack themselves. ”
Jiang Huan said: "Shiliang, you are right, but the reason why Xingheng City is called Xingheng City is because its city walls are surrounded by several streams, and the streams spread down from the mountains and converge into Xingheng City from all directions. ”
The drought asked, "Can we still use the method of blocking the water supply?" ”
Jiang Huan shook his head and said: "No, the water source seeps into the ground, and it is difficult for people to grasp and not to mention, not to mention, for thousands of years, Xingheng City has been a city rich in nutrients, not to mention, even if there is no water source, he is still as tall as ever." ”
Wang Jin's eyes lit up, and he said: "Think about it, can you do this, when we attack Xingheng City, send people to infiltrate Xingheng City, deal with the enemy, and cooperate with the outside." ”
Udir waved his hand and said, "This is impossible, let alone the city wall, even if there are many enemies in the city, we don't know, how easy is it to sneak into the city?" ”
Wang Jin continued: "Then we can only call the door and let the general face the battle!" ”
The drought was very satisfied with this proposal, and said in an excited voice: "Okay, good, good, just do it, I will take the lead and kill the enemy general!" ”
Udir didn't know what to do, he brought people over because he didn't want this brother of his to do anything, it turned out to be an enemy, so this is not a stupid thing.
The next day, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, a team of people came to the gate of Fengyuan City and cursed.
"Three-foot town, why did your grandfather come here, but you closed the door? If you have the ability to come out and fight with me, I will not kill you and others! The voice of the drought was very rough, and in the middle of the city, a hot breath came up.
There were only Lord Zuo and Master Zhang in the city, and there were countless soldiers beside them, and everyone gathered in a conference room.
Lord Zuo said to everyone: "That drought is so arrogant, who is willing to lead troops to the battle?" ”
I saw a young soldier and said, "Report to your lordship, I am willing to lead troops to meet the enemy!" ”
Lord Zuo glanced at the man and said, "Wang Mang, then you should be careful." ”
Wang Mang doesn't look very old, but he can be a general, at least he shouldn't look too bad.
The city gate slowly opened, and a general walked out, with only a hundred people behind him, and the men and horses followed one by one, riding war horses, and jumping out of Xingheng City.
The drought reprimanded loudly, "Who is the person who came? Have you ever had a name? ”
"Wang Mang is here, Hugh is rampant!"
I saw Wang Mang holding a war knife and rushing towards the drought, driven by the horse, with a breeze behind him, the whole person looked like a handsome man, handsome.
The dearth held the halberd in his hand, and slapped the horse's buttocks, and the wild horse jumped up like a dragon rising into the air, and when it fell to the ground, it was already dusty and smokey.
The two soldiers intertwined and made a sonorous sound.
Two or three back and forth, no winner or loser.
The two pulled their horses and faced each other, murderous and awe-inspiring.
He said, "Sure enough, you have some ability, but you're still too tender." ”
As he spoke, a charge, a halberd horizontal, vertical and oblique, and three consecutive strikes came out of his hand. One fell.
The Northern Expeditionary Army cheered.
"Oh, oh, oh, the Drought is mighty! Mighty Dryfish! Mighty! Mighty! ”
The sound is very loud, undulating, and endless.
The Beidi army staggered in fright, and fled into the city with a slashing head and a face.
The soldiers drowned all the way, killing some of the slower runners.
As soon as the city gate opened and closed, only a few Beidi soldiers entered the city gate, and there were dozens of Beidi soldiers who had not been killed outside the city gate, looking at the city gate, but no matter how they knocked on the door, the thick city gate did not move at all.
Everyone was left looking at each other, disappointed.
The soldiers who fled into the gates were like ants that had lost their souls.
A soldier came to Lord Zuo's side and said, "Report to Lord Zuo, something is wrong, Wang Mang was killed by the local general!" ”
Lord Zuo slapped the table, stood up, and said, "Damn." This will damage the morale of our army, and who wants to fight again? Avenge Wang Mang's death! ”
"I do!"
Another soldier stood up, Wang Mang naturally knows what skills he has, after all, he has lived for so many years, and the two have also communicated, although the situation is not very optimistic, but the two also said that they don't know each other anymore, watching this old enemy many years ago die at the hands of the enemy, he naturally can't look past it.
A tall and emaciated man, but, from the moment he stood up, he already knew that this man was not a weak child without flesh, but more like a man who had no flesh but muscles.
Lord Zuo said: "With Shi Yunhu personally out of the horse, I am also relieved. ”
Shi Yunhu is holding a war knife, which is also compared with Wang Mang who is holding a war knife, but the temperament of this Shi Yunhu is different from him, and there are even some essential differences.
A general, riding a war horse, followed by more than 500 people, with a grand scale and a domineering aura.
Shi Yunhu scolded: "You killed Wang Mang? ”
The dreak said, "What if it's me? Do you want to collect Wang Mang's body or bury Wang Mang with him? ”
Shi Yunhu scolded: "Presumptuous, no one in the Central Plains has just talked to me like this, you are the first, however, you will die soon, don't worry, I won't make you very painful, I Shi Yunhu won't torture my opponent, I will give you a good time." ”
Shi Yunhu rode on his war horse, and after talking for a word, he rushed towards the drought.
The war knife was waved in his hand, like a tiger roaring, and the strength in his hand was a little stronger.
The drought fish just greeted, the attack that had arrived, the movements in the hands, the strength at the wrist, under the pressure of the war knife, under the impact of the war halberd, the drought fish clearly felt that this Shi Yunhu was not an ordinary person.
After a few rounds, the two men looked at each other, one with a sword and the other with a halberd, and charged again.
Shi Yunhu's face was fierce and murderous.
The aura of the drought fish was slightly constricted, and he greeted the attack, and the battle was in full swing.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shi Yunhu pulled the horse rope, then retreated, and said: "I have finally seen one of the three brothers in Chang'an, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation. ”
Drought retracted his halberd and said, "I heard that the Beidi people are superior in force, and it is true. In the confrontation with you, I saw the figure of Brother Beidi, thinking that at the beginning, I also had an intersection with one of your warriors in Beidi, but at that time, he said that he was going to join the team attacking the Central Plains, and I still said goodbye to him. I don't know if he is still alive now, and whether he can still be enthusiastic about his grand cause. ”
Shi Yunhu said: "I don't know who you're talking about, but it's not a good thing to have an intersection with our Beidi people!" If the weak side wants to tie up with the strong side, it has to come up with corresponding resources, I think you also have enough resources, but I don't know if you are reluctant? ”
Udir raised his head to the sky and roared, "If you are willing, why are you not willing?" Finding a good backer is always better than being alone, just like before, every year the fake son must only supply enough treasures and jade to the Central Plains Dynasty, and the beautiful coolie can get the blessing of one party, I think you have forgotten something? ”
Shi Yunhu's eyes showed a fierce light, this is the past he doesn't want to mention, it is the shame of Beidi for a hundred years, for this shame, they endured the humiliation, and tried the courage for several years, finally on this day, when they had the opportunity, they were able to invade on a large scale. Although it is a bit ungrateful, the things in the court and the pressure of the army forced them to do so.
"Do you know how we've been doing it for decades? After years of floods, the people were miserable, but the imperial court took meat from dry bones as if nothing had happened, and offered it to the Central Plains Dynasty to calm the anger of the Central Plains Son of Heaven and to continue their short years. Well, now, here's your chance. The weak side is no longer weak, and when you are really strong, it is time for someone else to pay us tribute. ”
But the drought was unmoved, and said, "Tribute to you?" Thinking too much, are you strong? I don't see it. ”
Shi Yunhu was stunned for a moment and said, "Now you have a hard mouth, but you can see for yourself, what has become of the Central Plains?" It's not that we're too strong, it's that you're spending time in glory and comfort, and even some civilians have a complacent look, which is really a joke. ”
He didn't want to argue with him, but in his psyche, he already had a deep hatred for these Beidi people.
"The Beidi people are just villains, if one day, when you find that you are not strong, will you still rely on the command of the Central Plains Dynasty? Or a carefree life, in a world where neither hunger nor natural disasters are the main culprits in destroying people, but often wars destroy people's will and confidence. ”
Shi Yunhu was unmoved, and said: "What you said now sounds good, but the taxes back then weighed us down, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have the poor life we lived like years." ”
He shook his head and said, "You just don't know how much you have been humiliated, but you don't know that in the vast world outside of you, there are people who live a life that is worse than yours, and they don't even have the right to live. ”
Shi Yunhu said: "Now it is useless for you to say anything, you will eventually pay the price for everything you have done, this is the awe of our Beidi, and it is also a comfort to the toiling masses of our country." ”
The droughtle asked, "The toiling masses? Do you know what they think? Do you know if they support your attack on the Central Plains? ”
Shi Yunhu said: "They are all willing, these soldiers who are with me are my subordinates, and they are also the toiling people of Beidi, and they are here to crusade against the Central Plains." ”
Dryfish asked, "Do you really think so?" ”
One by one, the Beidi soldiers slowly retreated.
They didn't even dare to say a word at the first time, but just as they retreated, one or two soldiers who were not dressed as Beidi picked up their flags, fanned the flames, and said: "Give me Beidi peace, we don't want to be under the command of others, we want to stand up and become our own masters!" ”
"Stand up!"
"Stand up!"
"Be your own master!"
"Be your own master!"
The Beidi soldiers were suddenly ignited, they couldn't stop saying anything, they didn't pay attention to their words about the drought, but at this moment, they seemed to be brainwashed, and they actually blamed the final responsibility on the Central Plains court. It seems that this is the reason why they helped the royal family of Beidi. And the group of people they defeated were obviously a little different from this group.
However, no matter how big the setback, war is inevitable.
Armed with a halberd, the Drought Fish slashed down.
Shi Yunhu couldn't avoid it, and a war knife actually caught the attack hard.
"Very good, don't speculate more than half a sentence! Your sins will be atoned for with your blood! Brothers, today, today is an opportunity to prove Beidi, and use the weapons in our hands to fight for the vast sea and sky that belongs to us! ”
"The sea and the sky!"
The sound of shouting and killing filled the entire space.
Killing and being killed in an instant.
The drought was holding a halberd, and Shi Yunhu was holding a spear, and the battle between the two had just begun, and before it was over, the soldiers were fighting together.
