The so-called "small victory tune" is actually a short tune with an obvious rhythm blown by the horn, which is used to inform the friendly forces on the same battlefield of their own results, in addition, there are also "call for help", "speed tune", "march tune" and other different purposes.

This kind of marching minor tune does not require any music theory skills of Gong Shang Jiao Zhengyu, let alone a good sound, but the recognition is first-class, especially the selection of horn as a wind instrument, compared with the brass trumpet, it is more vigorous and melodious.

In the dark moonlit night, the ups and downs of the "small victory tune" echo each other from afar, and it does not seem noisy, but makes this blood-colored night have a different charm.

……

The sound of the horn can be carried far away, especially on such a condensed winter night.

The blockhouses in the north of the village courtyard can also be heard by looking at each other, among these blockhouses, there is a main fortress that happens to be located next to the dirt road, in front of the main fortress is a flat empty field of four or five acres, this place was originally a drying ground in the autumn harvest season, but now it happens to be a military field.

On the battlefield, Shile stood on a large rock and was loudly instructing his subordinates, "Can you hear me?" The sound of the horn came from the eastern bank of the river, and it was clear that every time such a tune sounded, it meant that someone was killing the enemy! You are conceited and brave, but who can be so swift? ”

Standing in front of Shi Le, are the thieves who were captured in Xingyang before, these people have some fists and feet or weapons and kung fu, to put it well, they are rangers, and if they don't sound good, they are scoundrels in the market, of course, they are very different from the scoundrels in the market - they all have a simple concept of right and wrong in their hearts, not unreasonable scoundrels, in other words, these people are the kind of heroes unique to this era.

According to the concept of ordinary people, Luo Kaixian should have recruited these people, but in fact, since he captured this group of people in Xingyang, Luo Mou, as the main general, did not pay much attention to it. Because in the eyes of Luo Kaixian, a professional soldier, these so-called heroes may have some courage, and if they talk about fighting alone, they can be used for a while, but if they are placed in the army, they are really unusable.

There is no other reason, the military formation pays attention to the cooperation of the battle array, but these heroes compete with individual martial arts, although Luo also admires the martial arts people, but he will never take the reckless role to insert them into the guards, let alone use any thirsty attitude to deal with them.

Therefore, from Xingyang to Bianjing, this group of people has never come in handy, but just arranged for them to train.

Now that the enemy is attacking, their own numbers are too small, and they have no choice but to put these people to the north of Zhuangzi to defend, and in order to avoid ethnic conflicts, the leader is not a green-eyed or brown-eyed former gladiator, but Shile, a son of the Han family who was born in the Western Regions.

As mentioned earlier, this Shile came from Herat, and he was very good at archery, and after all the training and conquest along the way, he is now an officer of the first rank in the guard, which is only one level worse than the previous gladiator and Glas.

Shile's Chinese dialect was very ordinary, and if it weren't for the previous eastbound battalion's emphasis on Chinese, he would probably have been a barbarian with a Turkic or Uighur dialect.

This Shi Le had just finished his morale-boosting words in his strange Chinese accent, when someone replied among the heroes in the queue in front of him: "Shi Ling, don't look down on people!" When it comes to killing people with knives, we Xingyang men can also stand alone! ”

When he was refuted, Shi Le was not annoyed, it is a good thing that someone responded, if the people standing in front of him were wooden chickens, it made people worry, Shi Le held the horse whip in his hand, and said to the man who spoke: "Who will not say big words?" I remember you, Xingyang Zhang Erhu! Whether? was replaced by a street tiger, but you? ”

"It's a certain family!" was named in person, and this Erhu didn't feel ashamed at all, but responded calmly with a proud face.

Shi Le smiled and said loudly: "Dignified street tiger, when you were training, you didn't even know how many whips you received? ”

"Killing is killing, what's the use of the Rausch queue?" Zhang Erhu blushed, and he had no scruples when he spoke, but he just thought of where he said it directly.

I was like that that day! Shile couldn't help but think of when he first entered the barracks in the cave in Herat, looking at the people in front of him, his mentality eased a lot, he glanced around, and explained quite bitterly: "The military battle is an extraordinary fight, but you, the street tiger, really have the majesty of a tiger, and how many can you kill at a time?" If there are more than 10 people, you will be exhausted! If tens of millions of people are fighting, what about individual bravery? In the military array, if you can't be with the left and right robes, you have ten thousand catties of divine power, and one person and one foot will trample you to death! ”

Zhang Erhu is a person who has a bit of a fist and foot ability, what he likes is to go straight and fight fiercely, but he is not really a bad person, he can always understand good and bad words, although Shi Le's voice is not very standard, and the wording is not polite, but he really listened, and a bearded face rarely fell silent, and he no longer dared to do more nonsense.

Of course, Shi Le, who has become a pro-soldier and a guard, is of course also a little wise, and he is very keenly aware of the change in the expressions of the people opposite, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "My Lingzhou army, the first order is prohibited, not to show the prestige of Shangguan, but to unite the strength of the army; The second heavy equipment, my general is merciful, in order to protect the lives of our soldiers, I can't wait to wrap all the soldiers in iron sheets! Now, it is indeed your family that is fortunate to be able to save your life in Xingyang that day, it is really my family who is the master of Han'er, and I don't want this Dongtu to bleed too much! ”

When this Shi Lexing came up, he talked a lot, and he only said something that made everyone stunned.

The sound of the trumpet in the distance came after a while, and then it came melodiously, Shi Le shook his senses, and shouted loudly: "Tonight, there are villains gathering to attack, I don't ask you to wait for your life to break into battle, just wait for the guards to defend the fortress, and cooperate with the guards to fight and kill all the enemies who come to attack!" Do you dare? ”

The heroes of the rivers and lakes were the most unprovoked, first their combat power was degraded by this Shile, and finally even their courage was questioned, and their anger suddenly surged, and they said: "How dare you?" "Hugh will look down on people!" "I'm scared!" "Who dares to shrink their eggs!" “……”

The voices were uneven, but no one was silent.

When the shouting subsided for a while, Shi Le shouted, "Just dare to fight!" All teams rushed to each base and were on guard! There are those who do not obey orders, and military law acts! ”

"No!" The commanders of the various fortresses answered in a deep voice, turned around and began to shout to the crowd and rush to all sides.

There were a large number of people placed in this fortified defensive line, and it was said that it was not the turn of Shile to be the commander, but the best at rushing and killing and Glas was placed on the east bank of the river, and the only one who could speak was this Shile.

In addition, there is another reason, Shi Le is good at shooting, and he knows how to install all kinds of bow and crossbow facilities, and he was responsible for the construction of these fortresses before, and now that the war is together, he should continue to control it.

As for the so-called "heroes of the rivers and lakes" who were temporarily pulled into battle, their parents, wives and children were all placed in the courtyard, and there were a number of guards beside him, so he had to rest if he had thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Many people are busy, the torches are bright everywhere in the block, the people are more than enough at the battlements everywhere, and above each block, the bed crossbow and the large slingshot that have been laid out have been specially responsible, and the whole situation is ready to go.

……

There is a large road at the block, which winds to Bianjing City. Five miles north from the blockade, in an open farmland covered with snow, hundreds of forbidden soldiers and the Salt Gang Pai Gang were slowly gathering, Shi Yuanqing, Zheng Yuhou and Sun Changgeng of the Salt Gang, Gu Tang Master of the Pai Gang and others were all here.

Shi Yuanqing frowned and looked at the many people who were gathering not far away for a while, turned his head and asked, "Marquis Zheng Yu, can you order everyone to hurry up?" If you worry about it, it will change! ”

Zheng Yu Hou Shi Shiran replied: "The eldest son doesn't need to worry, later General Li will be in charge of commanding the three hundred forbidden troops, and this will be used to supervise the war. With this crowd, thousands of people, Lingzhou people have three heads and six arms, so what can they do? ”

After the words, he glanced into the distance with disdain.

Just when Shi Yuanqing was in a slightly relaxed mood, a horn sound came from a distance, and he asked the people around him in some surprise: "What kind of sound is that, it sounds like it is coming from the southeast, Gu Hall Master, could it be the signal of your platoon gang operation?" ”

The platoon gang Gu Tang Master replied ignorantly: "No, my platoon gang mostly uses bamboo whistles to warn...... This voice seems to have been heard somewhere......"

"Not good!" Zheng Yuhou was shocked, Huo Ran shouted, and said, "This is the horn of the grassland barbarians!" Could it be that the Lingzhou people's defense is fake and they want to escape? ”

"The sky is not clear, and most of the people in Lingzhou are outsiders, where can they flee to? Zheng Yuhou, it should be the best policy to order everyone to advance and attack! Shi Yuanqing was anxious, and he didn't ask about the bottom line, and said in a loud voice.

In his opinion, if the people of Lingzhou escaped, he, the initiator, would not be able to succeed, and as a result, not only would he not ask his father Shi Baoji to look at him differently, but he was afraid that the treatment he had would also disappear, and in his mind, the Great Song Dynasty had everything, and other families were barbarians, so he never thought about Lingzhou people's counter-killing.

However, there were few people present who were familiar with the battle array, and even the person surnamed Zheng with the title of Marquis of Yu was just a drill camp who only knew how to talk on paper, as for Sun Changgeng and Gu Tang Master and others, or they knew how to judge the situation, but if it came to the battle, I was afraid that it was worse than Shi Yuanqing.

After a short pause, the moon phase was like a hook, the remnants of the snow were shining, the firelight was dotted, the crowds were crowded, and the bustling brigade finally moved.
