Chapter 212: The Battle of Wuwei (XXXVIII)

"You don't seem to be as angry as you were just now, have you found some way to break the enemy?" At this time, Li Wen's mind was also a little calmer from the somewhat impulsive state provoked by Zhuang Fudi. Slowly heard a hint of extraneous meaning from Zhuang Fudi's words, so he tentatively asked Zhuang Fudi.

"It's not a way to break the enemy, it can only be said to be a chance to survive for yourself." Zhuang Fudi shook his head with a wry smile and said to Li Wen.

"Tell me, how can you increase the possibility of your own survival?" Li Wen asked Zhuang Fudi with some curiosity.

"How so? I knew that these staff officers on the front line were so ambitious, and they were here to do things with a certain hand, which was never reassuring. But there was no way, the manager told me to take these stinky hairy boys to the front line to see the blood and accumulate some experience. Anyway, in the eyes of the governor, Wuwei County has a tall city wall, and there are thousands of soldiers guarding it. In any case, the Turks will definitely not be able to attack it. However, it is now clear that the situation is somewhat wrong with the Steward's estimate, and that I am about to be killed alive by these hairy boys. ”

"But you don't seem to want to give up your colorful life."

"No one wants to give up a colorful life, and no one is born to be a hero. When all the heroes are cornered, they curse the people who have harmed them to get into the situation first, and at the same time desperately attack the enemy. Of course, I am no exception, I also want to go back alive so that I can find two more singers to play, so I found Xue Ju before the war. ”

At this time, Li Wencai finally discovered that Xue Ju's reinforcements, which had not appeared in all the army configurations of Zhuang Fudi. So his eyes also lit up, and he asked Zhuang Fudi excitedly: "If you don't say it, I really forget that there is such a new force around us, where did you arrange them?" ”

"I didn't arrange for them to go to a fixed place, I just gave them five days of military rations. Yesterday let them go out of the city and go on their own to find a place where they would not be discovered by the Turks and lurk. Wait for the signal I give them before launching a surprise attack on the Turks, the only thing I know now is that they are probably somewhere near the Turkic barracks outside the window. Only Heaven knows where it is. Zhuang Fudi looked out the window and looked at the brightly lit Turkic tent in the distance and said.

"Why don't we do it tonight, there are still some elite warriors sent by the chief steward to protect me, and it shouldn't be difficult to select one or two hundred young men from the defenders in the city. I took them out of the city and launched a night attack with the Xue Ju army lurking outside, and if I attacked the Turkic army camp in front and back, I should be able to repel these Turks. Li Wenmo said to Zhuang Fudi.

"Not tonight, Master Lee. If it were you, would you fall in the same place twice? You must know that the Turks on the other side are the frightened birds that have been attacked by the governor several times in a row. Zhuang Fudi said that, he pulled Li Wen to a bed crossbow arranged at the head of Wuwei County. The soldier who was signaling the bed crossbow to fire an iron arrow at the Turkic army camp in the distance.

The soldier faithfully carried out Zhuang Fudi's order, and the iron arrow in the night sky reflected the moonlight, flashing into a cold light and heading straight for the gate and doorpost of the Turkic military camp. This iron arrow is just the training arrow used by the soldiers in Wuwei County to train the soldiers who operate the bed crossbow, although the rapier is cast in iron, but the arrow is just a ball of straw wrapped in cloth.

After flying some distance, the iron arrow slammed into the doorpost with a muffled thud, as if someone were slamming the camp gate. At this time, the Turks, who were in charge of keeping guard on the watchtowers on both sides of the camp gate, seemed to be stimulated by something, and danced and threw all the wood and stone stored in their guard posts towards the door.

Suddenly, the entire Eastern Turk military camp was in chaos, and the sound of people shouting and neighing horses was heard, even if it was so far away, Li Wen at the head of the city could hear it clearly. The confusion lasted for half an hour, and the Turks in the camp even left the camp and scattered around, searching for nearly a mile before returning to the camp in groups, and then closing the camp gates.

"Master Li, you also saw it. How did such an Eastern Turkic army use night raids to defeat them? However, Lord Li still had to take the trouble of selecting the soldiers who would go out of the city to fight, and take them back tonight to have a good rest. Tomorrow I will set up a stage for you to sing a play on it. Live the addiction of murder again, just as you did to the officers and soldiers who pursued you after you killed your own commander. After Zhuang Fudi said that, he stopped caring about Li Wen, and turned around directly and returned to the command post on the city tower.

In the next day, Li Wen kicked Zhuang Fudi's door open early and dragged Zhuang Fudi out of the bed. Zhuang Fudi was sleepy-eyed and dressed neatly with the help of his subordinates, and while wiping his face with a wet towel, he asked Li Wen: "The chief manager once said that the most inhumane thing in this world is to drag a sleeping person out of the bed. You'd better have a proper reason for doing this, or I'll find an opportunity to get you out of the city and die. ”

"Let me go out of the city and die? Prick up your ears and listen, the Turks outside have already sounded the horn of attack! Li Wen stuffed a helmet into Zhuang Fudi's arms and said to him.

The two of them walked out of the castle tower and looked out of the city by holding on to the battlements. Seeing that the dense Turkic soldiers had already carried the ladder to the city wall of Wuwei County and slowly leaned over, Zhuang Fudi's eyes were staring at the Turkic army outside, but he asked Li Wen and said: "You only recorded in the military register of the Sui army that you are very good at using swords to fight, I don't know how your archery skills are?" ”

"It may be a little worse than the head, but compared to everyone on this wall now, there should be no better than me." After Li Wen looked around, he said to Zhuang Fudi with a smile.

"That's the best, do you want to shoot a few Turkic barbarians here to warm up in a while? Lest you be rusty when you go out of the city to fight for a while, and then you are cut and sent back first, I have to assign people to take care of you, which is really troublesome. ”

Li Wen took the longbow from the sergeant on the side, and aimed his bow and arrow at a Turkic soldier holding a wolf flag outside the city. Then the back hand was loosened, and an arrow flew straight across the entire battlefield, accurately hitting the eyebrows of the soldier holding the wolf horse, and then Li Wen returned the longbow to the sergeant next to him, and said to Zhuang Fudi:

"If I had relied on swords to fight those officers and soldiers in the forest, I would have died a long time ago."
