There was a strict patrol and the sound of fighting.

Li Tieniu, who was already a general of the front selection department, also brought a group of sergeants who were fully armed to the teeth, wandering between the squares of the inner city.

As the saying goes, all the military orders that are crowned with the names of vanguard, selector, first, first, trapped, and jumping represent the choice of the most brave and elite athletes in the army.

And those who can continue to maintain this title and title after the war; It is that among the tens of thousands of people in the army, they are selected and eliminated layer by layer, and there are only more than 100 to hundreds of people selected from 100 miles.

As a result, they also have additional exclusive perks and allowances, one rank higher than their fellow non-commissioned officers, as well as priority in the selection of trophies and supplementary rest after the battle; In peacetime, they have their own characteristic flags and badges, signs, relatively relaxed and independent vacations, and a series of special honors.

And today's Li Tieniu is a proud and glorious member of the former army.

It's just that at this moment, his eyes seem to be a little unable to turn away for the time being. Because, here is a vast area of the first house.

The undulating high walls that cannot be seen at a glance at the head and tail, between the deep mansions and courtyards with fish, the faintly visible carved beams and painted buildings and cornices and bucket arches, and the red and green colorful gardens; All of them show the unique and magnificent Northland style and the historical heritage of the first place in Andong in the past.

It is said that at its peak, the Luo clan had thousands of families living here according to the distance of the lord and the descendants, and the slaves and servants who followed and obeyed them for generations, and were responsible for serving them, adding up to tens of thousands of people.

It's just that now, walking on the flat street made of large bluestone slabs shiny with water mills, there is no trace of pedestrians, cars and horses, and there is a depressed scene of closed doors everywhere.

Some of the doors of the house are even more common with filial piety, and even some are old mourning, new funeral and double and even multiple funeral flags, swaggering in the wind.

Seeing this scene, Li Tieniu suddenly felt a little dull and boring, as the so-called life in troubled times is as cheap as dirt, even if it is this kind of great feudal princes of Zhumen Jiadi, it cannot be an exception. In contrast, his former hometown, now Qingzhou under the rule of Huaidong, is really a rare and peaceful chaos? A corner.

Thinking of this, he stuffed a ** whale meat strip into his mouth and chewed it with a taste.

This is also one of his favorite snacks, a product with local characteristics of the South China Sea; It is said that for every giant whale killed, the meat fat skin gum obtained is often hundreds of thousands of catties, which can easily meet the needs of hundreds of families in a month.

Even the organs and bones are also extremely useful, so all kinds of cetacean products are also one of the major items imported from Huaidong.

Although, with the exception of a few parts of the tender and fatter lambs, most of the meat on the whale is thick and old and difficult to eat; But for those who have tasted hunger and bitterness, it is also a real taste of meat;

What's more, the fire head in the army is also working hard to innovate in cooking and processing methods, so these large barrels of encapsulated whale meat are marinated in sauce and salt and then cut into thin slices or strips, whether they are stewed with grain bricks, or cooked with plate oil, or fried into crispy meat floss; All are good choices and tastes.

Suddenly, in the cold and sober streets, there were running figures flashing, and there was the sound of dragging heavy objects inward, and suddenly several sergeants were separated from the team and stepped forward to find out.

Standing at the mouth of the alley before he could say a few words, he was caught off guard by the small knives and crossbows that flew towards him, and suddenly hit several patrol sergeants who had gone over to question and visit, and knocked them to the ground with a muffled grunt.

"Prepare for the enemy...... Change"

Li Tieniu suddenly shouted, and opened a scattering flying knife with his hand.

"Whistle ...... Alarm"

"Yu Zi to me, attack the ...... forward"

A series of slogans were shouted, and at this time, the rest of the people also raised the long and short firearms in their hands, facing the direction from which the knife and dagger were projected, and shot out in a short and rapid manner.

Suddenly, the siding and brick walls in the alleyway were splashed with dust, and sporadic screams came out from behind.

Then, as the wall panels along the street collapsed somewhere, there were more figures among the flying dust; Like an anthill that has been stabbed open, and like a beehive that has been overturned, the masked soldier swooped back towards his patrol team.

But Li Tieniu, who bore the brunt of the attack, was not angry but happy, only to see him flip his hands in the air and flip over two empty shaku-and-a-half short guns, wielding a heavy and sturdy thick wooden butt like a hammer, roaring and rushing into these armed murderers.

I could only hear the sound of the fluffy flesh, and immediately swept like two windmills and knocked down several opponents, and some of their brains and twisted limbs were shattered and knocked to the side like garbage......

In the wilderness on the south bank of the Taizi River, the sound of drums and trumpets and flags like a forest are also gradually approaching Liaocheng within a visible distance.

It's just that the latest discovery made the leaders of the former army a little stunned, and they didn't dare to quickly submit it to the rear army.

"Damn...... The Extreme"

Luo Zhanrong was a little angry, looking at the newly planted wind and thunder banner on the head of the city, he only felt angry and felt like he had been knocked on the head, and he was a little dizzy.

The worst result still happened, and it was all to blame for Boluo's group of rats who had more than enough success and more than failure, so that they had entrusted themselves with heavy responsibilities and trust, but they recklessly made things so virtuous.

Now, not only are there no more of the divisions that contain and echo him outside the city, but according to the established policy, they should create chaos while waiting for an opportunity to seize the key points of the gate, or infiltrate the city to play the role of internal and external cooperation;

In the end, he actually let the Huaidong army personally go to the city to assist in defending it, could it be that his plan to seize the city by gathering momentum and coercion fell short.

Although his men seem to be strong and strong, how many of them are sincere in following him and seeking this great cause; How many half-hearted, or two-hearted, follow the recent for the sake of profit and promise; Or they are vain, and they have to submit to him under the power of the snake......

But he was still a little unwilling, and said a few words behind him; After half a ring, a hastily formed siege force, holding aloft a simplely made ladder and blocking car, slowly accelerated forward.

It was not until a certain critical point and hidden boundary was crossed that a city that had not been silent suddenly roared, and even the sound of artillery bombardment was heard.

I saw that in the back and middle of the elongated siege sequence, more than a dozen places with firelight, all of them were people who were flying flesh and blood and were blown up, and the people and horses who had already come forward were severely frustrated and frightened, but it was too late to rush and flee.

And the nearest place that was blown open was only a few hundred steps away from Luo Zhanrong, who was watching.

This couldn't help but make his face change again and again, thinking of the scenes and achievements he had seen in the army, and finally ordered to stop the other roads, and successively prepared a tentative offensive, and temporarily retreated for several miles to choose a place to set up camp.

At the moment, it seems that we can only take advantage of the situation to integrate the internal first......

Beyond the head of the east gate,

I was also slightly relieved, but the other party was still frightened by my bluff,

After all, including my accompanying escort troops, it would be a drop in the bucket or a flawless balance to rely on the hastily assembled 10,000 people in the city on top of the seven- or eight-mile-wide city wall.

It was only possible to maintain some key areas near the city gates, and to plant more flags in other places and leave sporadic observation posts in the arrow towers.

Once besieged by a superior enemy, it can only be resigned to the destiny of heaven.

Therefore, in terms of the means of dealing with the enemy, they have played some real and false suspicious tactics. For example, the artillery team is concentrated and used in maneuver along the base of the city wall; Makeshift work was made to build a number of sentry posts dressed in robes, dummies, and large equipment.

Therefore, at least the enemy who was defeated under the city walls was not a fake, and a mass of rapid fire at any cost could also briefly create the effect of a battalion of men firing in a row; And the artillery bombardment on the head of the city is certainly true, but because it is mainly field portable light artillery, most of them still can't hit that far.

And those dozen or so results are just a blasting point that is predetermined on the opponent's march route and resigned to fate.

I was even ready to move to a more solid and well-prepared inner city in the event of an impossibility;

Now, the enemy outside the city has temporarily retreated from the difficulty, and has camped in the distance using various stations on the outskirts of the city, and I don't know when they will be ready to attack again

Taking advantage of this rare buffer and interlude, seize the time to prepare for war and replenish strength as much as possible, not to mention the other Liaocheng, there are at least 100,000 adult young men and women alone.

The first thing is to take the roster and search the fleeing feudal soldiers from house to house, although their will to fight is not very good, but at least it is the soldiers who have received military training.

With their families and relatives as hostages in disguise, at the cost of pardoning the crime of escaping before the battle, under the supervision of the warlords, standing behind the city wall as a guard force is still barely competent.

Then, with heavy rewards and official orders, the young and strong men in the city were recruited to participate in the co-ordination and labor of the city according to the proportion of household registration.

Fortunately, as the main city of the family, the corresponding preparations in the city are not so bad; Luo Yunxiao, who was previously the acting lord of the domain, searched the nearby states and counties, and confiscated hundreds of families;

Therefore, in the warehouse of the feudal lord, a lot of money, food and materials were saved. The staff and armor in the arsenal are also relatively sufficient, although most of them are old, but it is better to arm those people and strong men than nothing.

In this way, one by one, the manpower on the city defense gradually became abundant, and the transfer of mine was of more important use. For example, to guard against and respond to the potential internal response of Luo Zhanrong and his party outside the city, and to incite and create commotion, chaos and sabotage incidents.

Then the city can achieve military control and martial law in key areas. In addition, troops were sent into three cities, two large and one small, to register and seal the stocks of military supplies and civilian goods.

Then, according to the daily needs of the population and the family, the general statistics and calculations are carried out, and the basic standards and plans for daily rationing are established; in order to deal with the difficult situation brought about by the possibility of a long and protracted siege.

Fortunately, although the small group of left-behind important ministers led by Zhu Yannian, the chief of the inner government, and Zhang Yixin, the leader of the management, lacked the right to speak and prestige in military and defense affairs, they were still more conscientious and responsible in dealing with these miscellaneous matters.

Therefore, I have been able to hold the city a little more.

After everything was decided after dark, and the various measures were laid out again, I would like to look back and express my condolences to the three who were deeply injured by the first personnel.

At this time, my subordinates suddenly reported a small episode again, a suspicious person, rushing to carry something in the back house of the inner city, was hit by the patrol team I sent out, and killed more than 100 people on the spot, and a number of escapes, the trace pointed to the back house of the Luo Domain's settlement.

As a result, several truckloads of things were intercepted in the nearby stronghold, and most of the rough inspections were some paperwork and books, which made people a little confused. So I was able to detain it on the spot, and then I was ready to send it to me.

In addition, they were inside, and found a woman who had been tortured and miserable, dying with only one breath left.

Therefore, Li Tieniu, the general on duty, specially asked for instructions on whether he could negotiate to enter the back house to search and arrest one or two.

I thought about it, and put this matter down first, and let them clear most of the inner city first.

I got another report that someone outside the city smeared and shot cloth strips under the wall, but it was Luo Zhanrong from the camp outside the city, and he planned to send someone to negotiate with me privately. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
