In a newly built sub-fortress near Luodu,
Li Chuwen looked at his son Li Shuang who was released, and he was very embarrassed and complicated.
Since the Huaiqing army he led was destroyed, and he himself relied on pretending to be dead to escape from returning; I haven't been a full-time military leader, so I can only spend my days moving around in a few deputy positions and false titles.
Now it is finally because Luo Du has re-activated him to lead a single part because of the need to expand the new army horses, and it is said that Zhang Shuye, who is already the right privy envoy in the process, said a few good words for him in it, and he was sincerely grateful.
As long as you don't face the "invincible" one again, and shake their firearms strongly; In these troubled times, what could be more reassuring and reliable than the military power in your hands. Although the Xingding army under his command is only three or four thousand people, and more than half of them are newly recruited.
It's just that his gaze fell on his son, but it turned into a certain worry and fear.
He thought that his son Li Shuang also died in the battle, but he didn't expect that after being captured by those Huaidong troops, he did more than half a year of hard work before he was screened out, and he was transferred to Jiangning as a trophy. This time, it was released as a messenger with a message.
It may be a good thing for a son to be, but it is not so pleasant to become an envoy of an enemy country.
This couldn't help but make him full of contradictions and conflicts in his heart, should he hand him over to prove his loyalty and righteousness, but he faintly resisted in his heart, only feeling that doing so might not be able to have the expected benefits and results.
Although he is a figure in the army, he can also be called a figure from top to bottom, although he is willing to put down his position to drill in the Yingying camp for his superiors, and he also strives to fight for the conditions for his subordinates who need to work hard, so he does not treat them too harshly in daily life, maintains the combat strength of the basic six or seven members, and also ensures the combat effectiveness and morale of one line more than the general level. is because of his background in the middle and lower generals, step by step to his current position, even after several setbacks of losing his division and breaking the army, he still stands tall in the army as a general.
But he is also not a die-hard person who is particularly determined and would rather go all the way to the dark, and will not hesitate to gamble everything to do his best for the country. An example of a family like Yang Keshi dying dozens of people for the country, he naturally couldn't do it. What's more, he has always had an indescribable worry and fear about this war.
Although the situation of the defense of Dugi Province this time seems to be much better than the last time the Southern Dynasty attacked, there is no army besieging from three roads, and the soldiers and horses in Dugi Province are also more well-organized, and there are more fortified walls to wait for.
But in some details, it is still difficult to hide the taste of being strong on the outside and working in the middle, and returning to the light; As a member of the army that participated in the execution, he saw with his own eyes that in order to concentrate materials and manpower, countless families who had migrated and settled down for a short time were forcibly dismantled and used for military service; The last bit of grain that every household planted was scavenged out to fund the military; Countless fertile fields that have been reclaimed for a few years, along with the crops on them that have not yet had time to be harvested, have all been burned in the name of the clear field fortification......
He even vaguely heard that this time, in order to reward and exchange for the military support of those western troops entering the customs to participate in the war, even the large rear areas such as Hedong, Yunzhong, and Hebei, which had always been under the direct control of the rulers of the Luodu Imperial Court, were repeatedly promised out as guarantees and resettlements.
This is almost a disguised overdraft of everything in the future, which is used to gamble on this war and the corresponding national fortunes; Although the regent has taken many innovative measures to eliminate defects in the past few years, everything is based on the old foundation that the whole country has been beaten to pieces, and the people have peace of mind and a little recuperation.
However, those in charge of the execution obviously will not tell the current regent about these inconsequential trivialities and details. And other people who know about it will not deliberately touch this forbidden area, as for a little sympathy for conscience and the life and death of the people, it is even more important to have this imminent national war.
And what he was more worried about was that according to the Lingxi news in front, there had been a batch of formed firearms units in the army of the Southern Dynasties, and it was no longer the combat mode of the relatively heavy and slow Shenji Army with many large equipment in the previous Northern Expedition, but a dense array of many armed guns, supplemented by heavy wide-mouth cannons to attack the fortifications;
Whenever the Southern Army conquered a place, it immediately arranged for the corresponding army to be stationed in it, the support point of the battle situation; Although the firecracker is known for being good at defending but not attacking in the field, once it is protected by fortifications and fortifications, it is a different matter. Therefore, although the offensive of the Southern Army was progressing slowly, the efforts to make the counteroffensive of the officers and troops become more difficult and arduous under the advance step by step.
He has his own internal information that Yang Keshi, the general of this dynasty and his old friend, has just won a great victory in a counterattack, and in the end he was frustrated in front of them and did not do his best.
Although he is a utilitarian, he does not realize that he can get what he expects by handing over his son at this time. Was it a verbal thank you and an honorary commendation, or was it the only more important task to send them to the front? ……
"Okay......"
Li Chuwen still put down the borrowing and wandering in his heart, and said to Li Shuang
"What do they mean by ......?"
"Now, it's not what they mean by ......"
Li Shuang said with some restraint and caution
"It's where we're going to go......"
"This is also the words entrusted by Yang Shilang and Dr. Rao......"
Li Chuwen's eyes couldn't help but shrink slightly, even among the courtiers, there were already people who had come forward, and it seemed that there were not a few energies in this Luodu City that were hiding behind the scenes.
It's just that. Since the incident of commanding Chen Xianyuan when he went out of the water gate and surrendered to the enemy in Kaicheng; The Generalissimo's Office strengthened the monitoring and defense of the generals under his command; Therefore, over the years, there have been many people in the army who have unsecreted affairs or private grievances, who have been deprived of their posts and convicted of crimes, and there are many people who have lost their lives during torture and interrogation.
And among the centaurs under Li Chuwen, the real trustworthy manpower is only hundreds of people led by the clan brother Li Chu-neng, and among most of the newly added people, I don't know how many of them are from the eyeliner planted above.
He doesn't want to put his net worth and future into it so casually.
"Grandpa Mingjian......"
Li Shuang spoke again.
"The other party also has the way to choose the upper, middle and lower......"
Li Chuwen raised his eyebrows, but he endured the interruption and made a deferential appearance
"The best choice is when Grandpa goes out to defend the town...... In time, I thought it was a precursor anyway. ”
"Then with the first dedication, at least the public worship, with the degree of tolerance and in the overseas generations of food"
Speaking of this, Li Shuang paused, looked at Li Chuwen, who was expressionless, and said again
"The choice of the middle stream is that when the two armies face each other, Grandpa can respond to the banner in time and lead his troops to withdraw first......"
"This avoids the evil of fighting against each other. Then there is a merit of assistance for the world, and the observation and strategy are essential"
"And what's next......
Li Chuwen finally spoke.
"The next choice is ,......"
Li Shuang hesitated for a moment before continuing
"Just need Grandpa to avoid the army and wait for the opportunity to ,...... north"
"Take the Heyang Bridge and enter Hebei or Hedong to occupy a place......"
"Then the other generation will use the number of grandfathers to recognize the corresponding rank and title afterwards......"
Li Chuwen took a deep breath, for him, the meaning and value of the upper, middle and lower choices were just turned upside down and tailored for him; Then, I only felt that I didn't seem to recognize this son who had been fighting side by side and fighting in front of him.
"What about you......"
He looked at Li Shuang with some meaning.
"What are the conditions and dispositions......
"Grandpa really knows ......"
Li Shuang smiled bitterly
"The child has privately welcomed the daughter of the Guangyuan Hou Cui family, and she is pregnant......"
"Just wait until the matter is completed, and become the secretary and supervisor......"
"Got it......"
Li Chuwen exhaled a sullen breath heavily.
"You're going to stay here......"
"There are some things that still need to be verified by me...... "......
Longmen Town,
The firearms and crossbows that overlapped each other were raining down on the soldiers who dared to show their bodies a little; There was also the sound of artillery exploding from time to time, and on the outer ring position of the circular camp of the Northern Army, a puff of dirt waves and sand dust were blown up.
Suddenly, a circle of overturned vehicles and piles of sand suddenly broke apart, and rolled down the low ramp, revealing an occasional corner of the inside of the camp.
At this time, the sound of the horn sounded in time, and several southern soldiers wearing thick armor with braids on the back of their heads in the array, roaring and shouting, holding swords and holding cards forward, showing several waves of rushing forward,
I saw that some objects suddenly flew out of the camp shrouded in smoke and fire, and landed very close to the slope surface.
The iron ball that ignited the fuse was thrown high into a parabola, rolled down the high slope of the camp to the feet of a tall standard-bearer who shouted and charged, and in an instant there was a splash of earth and air, knocking the standard-bearer on his back, and the legs and feet of several soldiers who had gathered to cover him were rolled to the ground and screamed and screamed, and then rolled down the slope that had been trampled repeatedly and sparsely.
Even if he didn't lose his life, he completely lost his combat effectiveness. All of a sudden, the same thing happened over and over again in the wave of shock
As a regime that also inherited part of the legacy of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty and Yu Ze of the previous dynasty, although the firearms technology of the Northern Dynasties was generally backward compared with the Liang of the Southern Dynasties, in the long-term war and tug-of-war, it still produced things similar to fire oil bombs and fire thunder bombs;
It's just that compared with similar products in the Southern Dynasties, they are too large and heavy, and they can only use a lead that is difficult to waterproof and throw not far, so they can only be used for defense and cannot be carried in attack.
But after accumulating a certain number of stronghold positions in a condescending position, it is still enough to produce a qualitative change that is a headache and difficult.
Even with the cover of artillery fire in the rear of the Southern Army and the suppression of the platoon, for the Northern Army in the camp, there was no obvious wavering rout, and it could not be impulsed or defeated.
This time there seemed to be no exception, and the slope of the main film attack was annihilated in the air waves and dust set off by the explosion.
In the end, only a few extraordinarily brave warriors were able to break through the barrier of smoke and dust and fog, and successfully fought into the camp along the gap, and fought head-on with the northern army that was guarding.
From time to time, people were stabbed to death with spears, or chopped to death, and the corpses were pushed and thrown down the hillside, but none of the daredevils who rushed in retreated and turned around. They supported each other back-to-back with the last bit of manpower, trying to hold out longer in the siege of the gap.
Encouraged by them, the queue of more standby people down the slope almost did not stop following up and rushing into the heavy smoke that could not be dispersed, and in the case of difficult to discern the eyes, they stepped on the soft mud and corpses with deep feet and shallow feet, and tried to climb up with each other's hands and feet.
Then a few throwing firearms from the southern army were also thrown into the camp from the outside in, and a scream exploded in the smoke and firelight, and at this time, only a few backs were left to counteract the warriors who broke through first, but the situation was decided.
Seeing more and more southern soldiers pouring in along the gaps in the outer perimeter that had been blown open and destroyed, and the sparse retreat behind the camp and being chased and cut down by the perimeter guards, meant that another fierce assault ended in victory.
With the push to the Luodu side, Wang Duanchen's fast knife blade composed of overseas athletes finally encountered all kinds of hard bones in chess opponents.
