Chapter 57: The Beginning of the War

At the third watch in the middle of the night, people count the sleepiest time, and at this time, if there are really a few soldiers who are still awake, patrolling the streets.

The task on the walls was a little more difficult, with teams of five, everyone there, watching the situation below the walls.

But these are still human beings, and as human beings, there are moments of fatigue, so they become hot here.

"Enemy attack."

I don't know which soldier shouted, and everyone who had already fallen asleep was awakened.

The fire on the torch was red, and the blood on the knife was red, but no amount of red could match the black of the long night.

The Northern Qi Kingdom has attacked the city.

This is unexpected, but unfortunately it is reasonable, the people of Northern Qi are all under the border of the Tang Dynasty, if they don't come, then so many Tang soldiers will be bored.

And since ancient times, there has been a saying that soldiers do not get tired of deceit, and the Northern Qi people will not come to attack the city today, and they will come back tomorrow. Who can succeed and who will fail depends on their respective abilities.

"It's finally a siege."

Old Man Lin looked very excited, as if he was the inner response of the Northern Qi Kingdom outside.

And Qian Duo also looked very excited, as if he had seen five thousand taels of silver running around the street.

Xu Yan is not at all, because he is not in the "white defenders" of Qian Duo at all, and when he hears that he is the young master of the Xu family, he still wants to go to the battlefield?

The old general Li, who has been in the officialdom all his life, is not afraid that Qian Duo will go to the emperor to offer slander, but he is afraid that Xu Jingzong will go to offer "advice".

It's not a high achievement, but if there is a person who is mentioned by the prime minister to the emperor's ears.

Then it cannot be said that if you take a wrong step at the time of the previous dynasty, you will be dismissed and investigated.

So Xu Yan and Xu Gongzi went to this old General Li to be a personal guard, to what extent?

It may be that General Li himself was injured, and he didn't dare to let this Xu Gongzi fight with others.

"Kill !!!"

People may think a lot, but they can think with their brains, and if they think with their hands, they will never use their brains again.

There were just a few people sneaking up on the city wall, and when the Tang soldiers reacted, they all fell to the ground.

But this is not the end, but the beginning.

"Attacked?"

The question seemed a little lazy, and there was not much meaning to know the answer, because if the Datang border pass was so easy to break, it would be boring.

"My lord, the people we sent out have already begun."

The people sent out, including many people, some changed their names and surnames, but unfortunately they were not in this Tang border pass.

"Oh? It's kind of interesting. ”

The person who sent him out was not the one who was called an adult by everyone, but he was deeply liked by this adult.

If you play chess, this is a key point that can be decided, so this adult is also concerned.

However, there are many unsatisfactory things, that is, these people can only appear when this border pass is broken.

"I'm already on the wall."

Although it was a question sentence, the adult did say it in an affirmative tone.

"Yes, but it was quickly killed. I heard that the barracks were already brightly lit. ”

"Then go ahead with the original plan."

This adult doesn't like to say much, the plan has already been made, and the specifics need to be improvised.

And now this person who is not on the battlefield is just waiting for batch after batch of people to die slowly.

"My lord, shouldn't we?"

There was a sense of hesitation in his speech, and he generally felt a little unsafe when he spoke.

But this is made by this adult, and no one can change it, and if it is wrong, it can only be wrong.

"People, death is death, the most precious thing is human life, and the least valuable thing is human life."

The adult waved his hand, not wanting to hear him continue. Those big truths, the people and nobles listened to him with calloused ears.

If I really felt it, I had it a long time ago, and I still haven't felt it, which shows some attitudes.

"Got it, sir."

He bowed respectfully, and walked slowly, and the adult didn't care about the military report, so he fell asleep.

There was a sound of killing outside, but it was too far away to disturb the adult's sleep.

"What about the enemy?"

When Qian Duo went to the city, he saw a few corpses, one of which belonged to a Tang soldier, and the rest were from the Northern Qi Dynasty.

The Northern Qi people seem to have let go of this opportunity, but they can't see the Northern Qi people as far as their eyes can see.

"Can't see? It's all here. ”

It's a commander like Qian Duo who speaks, but his temper is a little short-tempered, but I heard that he once killed a hundred by himself, and he can be regarded as a fierce general.

Qian Duo didn't care about this person's tone, and saw that those people were taken off their masks, and they looked much younger than him.

The whole body is not fully developed, but even if he dies, he still has some of the spiked long knives in his hands.

The two eyes widened, but they looked a little like they were dead. It's a pity that it's no wonder that Datang.

If you really blame it, you have to blame the adult who can feed him? Or was he chosen to be the general of the assault this time?

He didn't know, he was already dead, and the dead man Qian Duo saw it for the first time?

No, although he didn't see any dead people at the age of eight, he knew that some people died.

Qian Duo didn't feel so scared. Because he had already died once, those people were even weaker even if they became ghosts.

It's like Qian Lian said

"Ghosts are not afraid of people, people are afraid of ghosts, people are not afraid of ghosts, people are afraid of people."

It's a pity that Jiuyang Zhenren only said the last sentence to the master of Wuneng who has now slightly appeared in the belly of beer.

Of all the things, only the man is the most terrible, because he has some thoughts, just like you, and you don't know what he thinks.

And this siege marks the official start of the Northern Qi Kingdom...

"What's the matter, the dog-like Northern Qi people of the Lao Lin Gang are here again?"

In half a month, the Northern Qi people outside seemed to be deliberately sending people to die, and every time it was three watches in the middle of the night.

Every time people have just fallen asleep, the sound of "enemy attack" will wake up all the generals.

There are few people, but there are many things, and every time a few older children of women appear.

Sometimes you may not even be able to touch the corners of the clothes of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately they are still like this.

"Yes, there aren't many people from Northern Qi this time."

In fact, it is not much to give face to the people of Northern Qi, and there are no more than ten people who come each time, and there may be one or two people at least.

Maybe what this general thinks in his mind is to first make a military order for defecting to the Tang Dynasty. On the other hand, it weakened the national strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

"It's not the way to go."

Qian Duo knows the simplest truth, which is nothing more than an adapted version of a wolf's story.

If the other party is really allowed to come like this, then there are really 10,000 people attacking the city, then this is just a battle that has lost the first opportunity.

One blow and then decline, three and exhaustion. Now Datang seems to be in a passive position.

"The general also knows that now the above has to discuss countermeasures, and plans to take the initiative to attack the opposite side."

Qian Duo knew that the other people who were veterans of the battlefield and those generals above would not not understand.

However, the other party's camp place is not suitable for cavalry to go out, which leads to Datang having a sword, but there is a risk of being charged if it is used.

And for a Northern Qi country, if the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry is allowed to fold here, then Goguryeo should not be counted on.

"By the way, I saw that person a few days ago, did you find it?"

Qian Duo met an old man here a few days ago, which surprised Qian Duo.

"Found it, it's out there now."

Old Man Lin didn't understand what this General Qian meant, and when he looked at it, he brought a girl with him.

Could it be that Qian Duo still has this hobby? When I thought about the person I was looking for, a chill hit me.

"Oh, let him come, I still have time."

Qian Duo was very excited, and he thought that the man should be good when he came in and saw his expression.

But soon disappointed Qian Duo, and this person didn't react much when he came in.

It's as if I've never seen a lot of money, but it makes a little surprising to a lot of money.

"I've seen the general."

The body stood straight, and there was no surprise or envy when he looked at Qian Duo.

But there is always a little obscene look in his eyebrows, which is the same as the look of those ** when they talk about meat jokes.

"Don't know me anymore?" Qian Duo asked.

"Well, the villain doesn't have a good memory, but he can't remember the general."

The man said that he was not bad, people come and go, and friends from childhood may still not remember after many years of meeting.

What's more, he looks at such people every day in Chang'an, even if he has characteristics, he can't remember them very well.

"At the Chang'an City Gate."

Qian Duo prompted again, but looking at this person's expression, he knew that he really didn't remember himself.

At that time, I obviously gave him a few taels of silver.

"How many taels of silver did I give you, do you have an impression?"

Qian Duo asked tentatively, and the person who was called by Qian Duo looked embarrassed for a moment by Qian Duo.

Qian Duo only now knew that this person remembered himself at all, otherwise how could he remember those few taels of silver.

"Hehe, won't you give me back a few taels of silver this time?"

Qian Duo stretched out his hand as he spoke, ready to ask for money from the person in front of him.

It's a pity that the man smiled lewdly

"My lord, what kind of broken silver are you talking about? The villain hasn't heard of it. ”

Qian Duo looked at the person holding his chest, and thought in his heart why he didn't cover it with broken silver, the weather was so hot, and he was not afraid of the heat.

The two eyes looked at Qian Duo, but their appearance did not change much, but their hair became all white.

If it's really a different person, you may really forget about the extra money.

"The general Northern Qi people are here."

The two of them were still confronting each other in the military tent, but the words of Old Man Lin outside had reached the military tent.

"Kill."

As soon as Old Man Lin's words fell, the roar outside reached the military tent, letting Qian Duo know that he didn't want to go in the past this time.

"Can you kill an enemy?"

Qian Duo glanced at the person who was still below, and took it back with a lewd look.

"Hehe, what did the general say, why did we come here?"

He smiled a little embarrassedly and gestured at the saber pinned to his waist.

The enemy came, and the battle began.
