On a moonlit night and a sparse night, Li * sat on the tower with his back to the battlements, silently recalling everything that had happened to him since he returned to this inexplicable and wonderful era.

The world is amazing......

From the dignified director of the division's political department to the starvation on the side of the road, this psychological and physical gap does not seem to be enough to describe the difference between cloud and mud, and it is really a super difficult thing for him to survive.

Are your parents okay? What about Grandpa? The old man who loves himself the most and treats himself the most harshly, what is he doing at the moment?

Since I mustered up the courage to shout that voice in front of Li Bin more than half a year ago, I have stumbled from scratch to today, all to take a breath, everything to deal with the unknown fate and known history......

Future...... Where?

People in this era don't seem to have such troubles as themselves......

These soldiers, except for those who were absorbed from the homeless, were Liumang proletarians who had no land and no livelihood skills in this era, and people like Wei Xun were typical representatives, they had no property of their own, so they usually thought about how to find ways to take other people's property and land for themselves. If they hadn't entered the army, this kind of person would have gradually developed into a bully in the local area...... Or the backbone of the future riots of the agricultural and industrial classes who can not bear the oppression and exploitation.

The first batch of soldiers who followed him have now been more or less rewarded, and the youngest of these people is now a captain, and the core officer team, like Wei Xun and Shen Chen, was a junior soldier who had not entered the stream a few months ago, but now he is already an officer with "Yulu" in Bapin......

At the moment these people are happy......

But these people are not able to represent the majority, in this agrarian society, it is not these ruffians and hooligans who occupy the majority, but those farmers who look forward to "farmers, mountain springs, and some fields" every day, tenant farmers, hired farmers, yeoman farmers, and those landlords who are above these low-level laborers, these people are the social foundation of this era, without these people, this society and this civilization have disappeared......

In this day and age, land should not be a problem, the problem is that these lands are not currently their own......

Fight local tyrants and divide the land......

Lee* shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly.

In this era, except for some deep-rooted high-ranking families, the vast majority of landlords were not so hateful, and these landlord families supported the entire intellectual class of the world, and more than 95 percent of the people in the world came from these landlord families......

The civilian official is currently his only ally in Yanzhou, and the most loyal ally he can rely on in this era......

Of course, that is when the barrel of the gun in one's own hand is hard enough.

Li had no doubt that if one day Shen Chen or Wei Xun slashed himself with a knife and became the new warlord of Yanzhou, the civilian clique of Yanzhou would not hesitate to cooperate with him, and in this era, the loser will not get anyone's sympathy and support......

This has nothing to do with the discipline of the literati, or rather, this is precisely the discipline of the literati and doctors of this era......

It's a very strange time......

He is not a literati, nor a scholar, nor a landlord, nor a peasant, so where is his future?

I know the course of history well, but is it useful?

Maybe I can find a chance to pat Chai Rong's thick legs, the Marquis of Taiyuan is not the king of Jin now, and if you work hard, you may be able to climb it......

Of course, with his current status, Boss Chai will never treat him......

But now that Boss Chai doesn't want to see him, Boss Zhao probably won't want to see him, right......

Li * ran out of brains, and he didn't remember what Zhao Kuangyin was doing now.

Boss Zhao's position should be higher than himself at the moment, but it shouldn't be too high, and his old man came out of nowhere and began to take charge of the Bianliang Forbidden Army after Boss Chai began to suspect Zhang Yongde......

Thinking too far ahead......

Lee* shook his head vigorously, tossed aside all these miscellaneous thoughts, and began to seriously ponder the battle for tomorrow.

Last night's military discussion lasted for an hour and a half, and Shen Chen and Liang Xuan were arguing. Liang Xuan believed that the opposing army's army was not armoured and inferior to the front battalion in terms of equipment, so it should go out of the city to line up and defeat the enemy army in a field battle. Shen Chen resolutely objected, he believed that there were too many new recruits in the troops, and the combat strength was unbalanced, and the plan for defending the city that had been formulated was determined according to the combat effectiveness level of his own troops, and the change in the enemy's combat effectiveness level did not affect his own combat strength, so the battle plan that had been set should not be moved lightly.

In Li*'s view, what Liang Xuan said was actually not unreasonable, and after some personal reconnaissance, Li* believed that it was still very likely that his four main forces would defeat the enemy army on all fronts in the field. After all, the gap in the real combat strength is not large, and the equipment situation of the own side is obviously superior.

However, Li * was also very worried about the enemy's long-range attack ability, although the enemy's cavalry should be very weak, but the dozen officers in the army should be very different from those soldiers who have been serving as lieutenants for many years and have only now been promoted to regular soldiers, and if these dozen or so people can continuously fire arrows at a distance of more than 30 paces, it will bring great casualties to the troops. For a good archer, the armor on the enemy's body is not a big problem, and from the fine seal Minda, Lee* has already understood this.

Shen Chen thought that in the first battle of the troops, there was a strong city to rely on, but they had to go out of the city to fight with the enemy on horseback, which was a very stupid tactic. He believes that our army is small and the enemy is numerous, which is not good; Our army is infantry and the enemy is cavalry, which is not good; Our army has many new soldiers and the enemy army has many veterans, which is not good; It is a fool's practice to rashly go out of the city to fight the enemy in the field with these three disadvantages.

Then he explained the advantages of defending the city, our defense of the city, the enemy attacking the city, the head of the city is narrow, the enemy can only ascend the city one by one, so although our army is less than the enemy, but can form a relative superiority in strength at the head of the city, although the enemy army is large but can not be deployed, although our army is small but can concentrate forces to attack the weak enemy.

If the enemy wants to attack the city, the horses are naturally useless, and the cavalry immediately becomes infantry, and its mobility cannot be brought into play, so two of the enemy's three advantages actually no longer exist, while our army's armor and weapons are excellent, and the advantages of relying on strong cities can be fully utilized.

Shen Chen's statement was clear and the main points were clear, and Liang Xuan couldn't help but be speechless, and even Xi Feng Minda, who was sitting on the sidelines and watching coldly, opened his mouth to agree with his opinion for the first time.

So the military council unanimously approved Shen Chen's strategy for defending the city.

That night, it was agreed that Wei Xun and his three newly promoted team supervisors went down to the unit to check the food, equipment, and weapon maintenance of each unit one by one, and at the same time, these officers of the supervising army announced the battlefield military discipline to the soldiers of each team.

Those who retreat or turn backwards without an order are beheaded, those who shout loudly without an order are beheaded, and those who discard their weapons without an order are beheaded.

These disciplines are extremely simple, but absolutely effective.

Excessively complicated battlefield discipline will make it difficult to enforce the current limited personnel of the military supervision department, and not allowing soldiers to retreat or turn back without permission will not lead to the collapse of the front, and soldiers will not be allowed to shout loudly, and will not allow one person's timidity and fear to infect the whole army, and not allowing soldiers to abandon their weapons is to prevent soldiers from abandoning their weapons and surrendering or laying down their weapons to rob property and spoils of war and cut off the heads of the dead.

The deployment of troops was as follows: the front battalion A team guarded the front of the city wall, the D team assembled in the city gate to prevent the city gate from being breached by the enemy and launched a counter-charge, the B team was on standby under the city as a reserve, the four veterans of the C team patrolled the city as the overseer team with flat knives and killed any soldier who dared to violate the battlefield discipline at any time according to the orders of the supervising officers, and the scouts of the fine seal minda were equipped with crossbow arrows and deployed on both sides of the city pass, ready to inflict long-distance casualties on the enemy.

That night, the cooking team cooked a steaming and fragrant meal for the soldiers, so that the officers and men of the battalion had a full meal.

It has been confirmed that the six members of Team C, who will not participate in the battle tomorrow, are in charge of guarding and patrolling the castle tower tonight, and Li * personally leads the team.

As the eastern sky showed a glimmer of light, Lee* stood up and looked from the castle tower at the enemy camp stationed not far to the north.

Generally speaking, the camp of the besieging party should be stationed at least two miles away from the city wall, so as to effectively defend against the sneak attack of the enemy army in the city, of course, this will also relatively consume the physical strength of some besieging soldiers, but in the ancient siege war, this price must be paid, otherwise the enemy army that occupies the inner line advantage in the city may pose a threat to the besieging camp at any time.

The location of the Yeli family's camp this time was only two hundred steps away from Chengguan - this was obviously for the convenience of grazing horses, cattle and sheep and other army rations, if they did not go up and down the village by the big stream that went around the pass, they would have to walk more than ten miles north to find a water source, and that would be too inconvenient for the besieging party.

What's more, in the eyes of the nobles and officers of the Yeli family, it is impossible for the Zhangwu army to go out of the city and pose a threat to their own camp.

Therefore, Li * stood on top of the city tower at this moment, and almost the whole view of the entire camp was almost in full view.

At this time, smoke was already rising in the barracks of more than 80 tents, and officers began to shout and urge the soldiers to get up one after another.

As more and more people moved around the camp, the camp grew noisy, the soldiers of the night watch began to change their guards in batches, and some of the lieutenants began to feed the horses. Before the battle, there is not so much time for the horses to graze on their own to replenish their strength, and they must be fed food to support the physical consumption of the horses in battle.

Shen Chen quietly walked up to the city tower and came to Li *'s side to stand still.

"Do you want the soldiers to get up for breakfast?"

Li* didn't look back, and asked lightly.

"Wait, it will take at least an hour and a half before the enemy army can attack the city in whole formation......"

Shen Chen replied thoughtfully.

"Two trenches should be dug in front of the city pass, so that our crossbows can shoot more people......"

Li * said with a little regret.

Shen Chen slowly shook his head and said, "The first battle must be hand-to-hand combat...... It was the first time that the officers and men of the battalion confronted the party members, and they didn't need to use too many skills at the moment, and they were good soldiers if they could face each other without running away......"

Lee* smiled bitterly and stopped talking.

The soldiers in the enemy camp began to line up, and a large group of lieutenants brought up large pieces of roasted and boiled beef and mutton, and the enemy began to divide the accounts and eat. A greasy and fishy smell blew up the city with the morning breeze, and the veterans of Team C, who had been guarding the city all night, gurgled in their stomachs. But not a single one of them moved or turned their heads, and more than thirty soldiers stood on the head of the city like nails, as if they had heard nothing or heard anything.

After a long while, Shen Chen turned around and ordered: "Order the whole army to get up, within two moments, the whole army has breakfast, and the whole team must be completed within three minutes." ”

Lee* silently stared at the enemy and did not speak.

The herald turned to go, and after a while, there was a murmur of footsteps and bursts of food from the downstairs, mixed with the sound of Wei Xun and several of his subordinates talking, and the overseers were making the final mobilization for battle.

After a while, the enemy began to form in the village, and strangely enough, only some of them led their horses, and the vast majority of the soldiers formed on foot.

Almost at the same time, Liang Xuan, Ling Pu, Yang Li, Xifeng Minda and other high-ranking officers walked up to the city, came to the side of Li * and Shen Chen, and stretched out their heads to watch the enemy situation outside the pass.

After another quarter and a half of time, the voice of a man speaking loudly came from the camp, the voice was faintly unreal, and the other party seemed to speak the language of the party.

Lee* twisted his face and looked at the fine seal Minda.

“…… After clearing the level, each person will be rewarded with two sheep...... Ten heads were rewarded to those who ascended first, and two slaves ......"

Thin Seal Minda translated.

Then he smiled: "It's not good to be poor and remote, Yeli Ronglai can't even take out women, if there are some women in those towns and villages in the pass, the morale of the soldiers will be doubled......"

Li * was speechless, but Liang Xuan and the others glared angrily at the fine seal Minda one by one, but Shen Chen didn't have the heart to listen to this, he silently stared at the enemy barracks, his lips moved slightly—he was counting the number of enemy troops gathered.

"Twenty cavalry, ten cavalry—" The expression on Minda's face was still lazy.

"The Yeli family really regards the defenders of this city pass as the Zhangwu army......"

The party harrier smiled with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.

"Scouts - Armor!"

Shen Chen ordered lightly.

Fine-sealed Minda took another look—the enemy's gate opened, and a group of infantry came out in tents.

He turned and strode down the tower.

There was a clanging sound from below, and the scouts were putting on their armor with the help of the labor team.

The enemy's formation was quite fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, two phalanxes of infantry in ten rows and six columns were ready to go.

Behind the infantry formation, an array of cavalry of the same formation had been completed, and the horses were neighing and impatiently tapping the ground with their hooves......

"The scouts are armoured—"

Finely sealed Minda, dressed in mountain armor, strode up to the city tower and reported.

"The scouts are in place—"

Shen Chen ordered without hesitation.

With the sound of footsteps, thirty armored scout soldiers slowly carried heavy crossbows up to the tower, and the soldiers who went up to the city did not stop, carrying those terrible weapons in two teams to the left and right sides of the tower.

"Load the strings—" Shen Chen ordered loudly.

When the soldiers of the scout team heard the sound, they immediately started to put the crossbow arrows into the groove of the crossbow machine one by one, and then some of them turned the pulley device on the crossbow machine vigorously, and some of them leaned back with their arms and began to wind them.

It takes a long time to load and wind four Fuyuan crossbows, eight open-stretch crossbows, and fourteen horn bow crossbows.

In the distance, a strange but distant sound of a horn was heard from outside the city.

With this horn, the footsteps of the two infantry formations began to slowly move in the direction of Chengguan.

"Team C—Evacuate—"

With Shen Chen's order, the thirty soldiers of Team C, who had been holding on to the city tower for a day and a night, quickly formed two columns and drove down the city from the stone steps on both sides.

"Team A-Armor-"

"Overseer - Armor"

With Shen Chen's successive orders, there was another clanging noise under the city.

By this time the enemy had advanced fifty paces, and there were still one hundred and fifty paces to go at the head of the city.

However, there was no anxious look on Shen Chen's face and on the face of the fine seal Minda, as if both of them knew that the enemy army would not start attacking the city soon.

"Report - Overseer Completes Armor ——!"

The voice of Wang Eighteen, a veteran of Team C, rang out,

"The Overseer is in place—"

Shen Chen ordered.

With a neat pace, twenty overseers drove up to the city with sharpened blades in their hands, and then spread out in a horizontal formation on the south side of the city wall.

"Report-Team A has finished putting on its armor-" Liang Xuan's voice sounded.

"Team A is on standby—" Shen Chentou ordered without looking back.

The enemy had now moved within a hundred paces of the city, and at the sound of the officer's command, two infantry formations and one cavalry formation stopped advancing at the same time.

At this moment, an armored party officer slowly stepped forward, escorted by his own soldiers, and several of his personal companions stood in front of him with long shields much wider than the round shields in the hands of the infantrymen.

The party seems to be waiting for something.

A moment later, a group of disorganized soldiers drove out of the camp, and looking at what was on the shoulders of the soldiers, it dawned on Lee* that it was a rudimentary ladder made of makeshift felled trees.

The party officer began to speak, but Li * really couldn't understand the whining party words.

An even sharper and high-pitched voice sounded from the position: "...... Lord Yeli asked all the soldiers of Luzi Pass to abandon their weapons and be bound, otherwise after the pass is broken, the army of the Yeli family will slaughter the pass, and no one will be left, please Luzi Pass guard will think deeply......"

Everyone looked at each other, and the party members actually played the hand of persuasion to surrender, and it seemed that there were no siege weapons and the lack of troops did cause a lot of difficulties to Yeli Ronglai......

Li * smiled bitterly for a while, he took a step forward, raised his arms flat, bent his forearms, clenched his hands into fists, raised his middle fingers, made a gesture that no one understood in this era, and shouted at the top of his voice-

"Roll ——!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
