Chapter 37 Attack on the City

Whenever he thought of the little lady in the room, Duan Zhenlin felt that he was in a very good mood. That's a lovely beauty, he Duan Zhenlin has seen a lot of beautiful ladies in his life, there are more than a dozen concubines alone, but he thinks that compared with the little lady now, it is simply unbearable and unsightly.

Duan Zhenlin thought that he had seen countless beauties, but it was the first time he had seen a little beauty like this. Although this little lady is small, her big watery eyes, white and tender skin, and smart figure, Duan Zhenlin will feel hot and dry as long as she thinks about it.

Therefore, he did not blame the little lady for escaping, but he punished the person in charge of monitoring it very severely.

"Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon!" At the wedding banquet, Duan Zhenlin was already red from drinking, and he still refused to stop. Suddenly seeing snow in the night sky, I felt even more happy.

"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general, the general's concubine this time is really a celebration of the whole world, and the general will respect the general again!" Duan Zhenlin's lieutenant raised his wine glass again, he was already shaking his head from drinking, and the cup was unstable, but he still refused to stop. In fact, not only him, but also the top and bottom of the Changhe town army, because the lord will be overjoyed, they are all drunk and unhuman.

In this world where human life is like a mustard, everyone is precarious, and no one will let go of the joy of life if they can have a moment of joy and enjoy the joy of life. What's more, the New Year is approaching, and who will treat themselves badly?

But some people are exceptions, such as the commander Duan Hao. After he toasted Duan Zhenlin, he refused to drink it again no matter what. At that moment, the sergeant who was good friends with him persuaded him: "Commander Duan, you and I were born in a chaotic world, and we fought hard to have the value we have now, and the general is happy today, and the New Year is approaching, what are you still afraid of, come, have a drink!" ”

Duan Hao pushed away the wine glass and said lukewarmly: "It is precisely because the world is chaotic and it is not easy to survive, so we should cherish it even more, and we can't have a moment of relaxation, otherwise the difference between life and death is only in a thought." If you want to drink, find someone else, forgive Duan for not accompaniment. ”

Seeing Duan Hao's attitude like this, the man was unhappy in his heart, and said coldly: "Commander Duan, be careful." Huaizhou is not a place of four wars, and the New Year is approaching, and today is a rare heavy snowfall, is it that in this case, there will still be people who will attack the city? ”

"It doesn't matter whether anyone attacks the city or not, but the important thing is that the vigilance and caution should not be relaxed for a moment, otherwise it will be relaxed today and tomorrow because of it, and over time, it will become a habit. Even if there is no danger, it will be too late to react! Duan Hao said. He originally meant to remind him kindly, but when the other party heard this, he was scolding him for indulgence.

Sure enough, the sergeant snorted coldly, "In that case, why don't Commander Duan go to the city wall to guard against the enemy attack!" "Anyway, ignore him anymore and go find someone else.

Duan Hao's face was not good-looking, he looked at the soldiers who were all in the team and above, all of them were drunk and drunk, he couldn't get angry, and scolded: "A group of vulgar people, with a small amount of eyes, it is difficult to achieve great things, and they will suffer disasters!" ”

After saying that, Duan Hao stood up, beckoned his own soldiers to come over, and said, "You send a team of people over and guard outside the mansion." Duan Zhenlin has the grace of knowing him, and he can't help but think about him.

The pro-soldier had a difficult look on his face, and said: "Commander, the snow outside is very urgent, and it is not good to let the soldiers guard outside the mansion?" Besides, today, the general rewarded a lot of wine and meat, and it was the end of the year, so everyone was looking forward to relaxing for a while. ”

"What nonsense, do what I say!" Duan Hao said angrily, how could he not know that in the military camp today, the soldiers under his command were better, although they drank but not drunk, but the other commander ......

The pro-soldiers didn't want to say anything, so they had to do it.

Duan Hao was about to return to the camp, and after walking a few steps, a person who looked like a steward greeted him and said to Duan Hao: "Commander Duan, please stay." ”

Duan Hao recognized this person, so he stopped, "What's the matter?" ”

The steward said, "I heard that Commander Duan is going to arrange for people to defend the mansion?" I'm afraid this is inappropriate. "What the steward didn't say clearly was, do you want to protect General Duan, or do you have other intentions? Outside Chen Bing's mansion, protecting people and killing people are just a thought. You're committing a taboo by doing so.

Duan Haodao was silent for a while, and said, "The general is guilty of this matter, and Duan Mou bears it." ”

The steward sighed and said, "In this case, please take a step forward from the commander." ”

Duan Hao had no choice but to follow the steward out of the hall and go to a place where there were few people.

………………………………

The walls of Changhe Castle.

Most of the soldiers guarding the city wall have shrunk under the city wall, with their backs against the thick city wall to shield themselves from the wind and snow. He snorted into his palms as he cursed the damn weather.

But there are also some soldiers, although they are also squatting and shrinking, but they still squat behind the female wall and do not go down the city wall.

A sergeant holding a spear, looking at the sergeants under the city wall, thirty or fifty of them gathered in a heap, drinking a little wine to warm their bodies, and complained to the older sergeants beside him unevenly: "Captain, why can they shrink under the wall to drink wine and eat meat, but we have to squat here, blown by the wind and snow like the stepmother's raiser?" ”

Wu Chang was also angry, and scolded angrily when he heard the words: "Shut up Lao Tzu, do you think Lao Tzu wants to stay here and be frozen?" It's not an order from the commander yet! ”

The young sergeant said: "Today's general got married, and a lot of wine and meat were given. But we are frozen here, why do you say the commander is so cruel? ”

Wu Chang was about to say something, but someone next to him was already scolding: "What are you yelling about?" Still don't let people sleep? This thief, you are a straight thief and a thief, and if you talk again, I will tear your mouth! ”

Wu Chang glanced to the side, there was also a look of jealousy in his eyes, sighed, and said, "Sleep, you don't know if it's cold when you fall asleep." ”

There was a sudden commotion under the city wall, and the hot-tempered sergeant immediately jumped up and scolded his mother, and after a while, someone below shouted: "Above, the villagers have come to bring us wine and meat, come down and take a drink!" ”

The sergeant on the city wall looked down, and saw that there were many people coming below, and they were pushing the cart, and the leader was smiling, "You military masters are working hard to defend the city, and we are blessed by you on weekdays, and I learned that the general is happy today, but you are going to suffer from cold and hunger here, so I brought some strong wine and hot meat over to celebrate the general's great joy with you!" ”

As soon as he said this, these soldiers who were unhappy because they were full of cold, how could they be unhappy, and they all gathered around, "There is even wine and meat, take it all out!" ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Master Jun doesn't need to be in a hurry, I have a lot of wine and meat to bring, it's enough!" I only hope that when we wait to transport commercial goods into the city in the future, you military masters can make it convenient! ”

"Well said, well said!" The sergeants, hearing this man say this, Xindao turned out to be a merchant, but he would make friends with us, and the doubts that still existed in their hearts also disappeared.

On the city wall, those sergeants under Duan Hao's command had long been unhappy to the extreme, and at this time, they still cared about a lot, and they ran down to grab wine and meat.

Outside the city.

"Childe, the time has come." Meng Ping said to Li Congjing.

Li Congjing nodded and waved his hand, "Siege!" ”

The gentlemen were all ordered by the soldiers, with small wooden sticks in their mouths, carrying the ladders, taking advantage of the heavy snow to cover their eyes, and walked carefully towards Changhe City. The boots rustled in the snow, but in the howling cold wind, they were so inaudible.

They are like ghosts running in the night, frantically rushing to their food, cautious but impatient. Their blood has long been boiling, their stomachs have long been hungry, their faces are hideous and bloodthirsty. The dark night, heavy snow, and cold wind became their best cover.

The wilderness was silent, only the vast snow, the sky and the earth were silent, only the homeless wild wind was calling, they didn't know what was ten steps away, and they couldn't even see the people who were traveling with them. But in front of me, not far away, there was a city, a city with lights in the center.

That's where they're going, he's where they're going, he's where they're going to fight.

They clenched the ladder in their hands, the * in their hands, the horizontal knives in their hands: that was what they lived by. They hunched over, their eyes fixed on the front, as focused as wolves staring at their prey, approaching quickly, but with a steady pace, they could hear their own heartbeats, and even feel the sound of their own blood boiling.

Finally, they touched the walls. The city wall is so cold, but for these soldiers, it is even more heart-warming than the chest of a little lady.

As many as a dozen ladders were erected, silently leaning against the city wall, and they held unsheathed horizontal knives in their mouths, like apes, climbing up the stairs like the wind.

Li Congjing's eyes narrowed, and under the faint light of the city tower, he could see that Meng Ping, who was climbing in front, had already towered the female wall with one hand. Then he saw that Meng Ping's body disappeared into the night and jumped into the female wall.

Meng Ping landed on the ground, and where he landed, there was no one left and right. He paused, and the first dozen or so people had fallen into the city wall almost at the same time.

There was snow on the city walls, white snow.

When Lin Ying landed, the corner of his eye had already skimmed to his side, and there was a squatting sergeant, but before the sergeant could react, his blade had already wiped the other party's throat!

A touch of bright red, scattered on the city wall, falling into the snow, strange and conspicuous, but also extraordinarily beautiful.

The sergeant clutched his neck and fell, his legs flicking, his eyes full of fear and puzzlement.

Meng Ping led the people to solve the sporadic guards on the city wall, and in an instant, the number of people on the wall has reached nearly fifty. Meng Ping raised his hand and waved it left and right. Immediately, people flocked to the passage.

At this time, the guards under the city wall also reacted.

"Who?!" A Wu Commander was the first to react, and then it was not his comrades on the city wall who answered him, but the middle-aged man in front of him, who was still amiable. Wu Chang lowered his head in disbelief, and saw that a long knife had penetrated his abdominal cavity. The person in front of him was still smiling, but the knife was pulled out mercilessly, and the captain fell to the ground with a thick layer of snow.

"What does the meat taste like?" Before he lost consciousness, Wu Chang heard the other party ask.

The soldiers under the city walls were drinking wine and eating meat, and suddenly they noticed that these amiable merchants in front of them had become like frost and snow and their eyes were like evil spirits. And by the time they found out about it, they were already slowly lying in a pool of blood.

These "merchants" are naturally the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army Intelligence Department who have long been assembled in the city.

The scuffle unfolded under the city walls.

But these full-bodied sergeants suddenly found that they couldn't lift their strength. In the face of the enemy troops rushing forward and backward like wolves, their resistance seemed so weak.

"Wine and meat are poisonous!" I don't know who shouted, but it was too late.

The blood line was like a splash, sprinkled on the ground and the city wall, and the warm blood melted a layer of snow the moment it landed.

Wu Changjian, with the soldiers of the Military Intelligence Department, first cut down the Changhe Zhen army who was guarding the city gate and opened the city gate. The drawbridge over the moat was lowered, and a large number of people rushed in.

The soldiers of Changhe Town under the city wall wanted to resist, but they couldn't muster up their strength and wanted to run, but they couldn't escape the pursuit of the other party, and in an instant, the soldiers of Yidu were killed.

But the news that Changhe City was attacked by the "enemy" was finally released by them.

When Li Congjing entered the city, he was followed by a group of cavalry and horses, and many of the sergeants who had finished the battle in front of the city wall all turned over and rushed towards the city under the leadership of the soldiers of the Military Intelligence Department!
