116 July of the Flowing Fire
In July, the dazzling sun hung in the sky, which reminded Luan Yi of the thermal power plant of later generations. The scorching light baked the earth, and even the water vapor in the air steamed up, casting an illusory veil over the earth.
There has been no rain for more than half a month, the vegetation on the plains and mountains has lost the moisture of water and has become listless, and the land has been affected by dryness and dried up.
This year's Qingzhou is another disaster year, and major droughts are staged everywhere.
Listening to the message from Jinan, Jinan is also the same scene. However, fortunately, the underground water veins in Jinan are sufficient, and the spring water is not dry in dry years, plus Jishui, Luoshui, the Yellow River, and the Xiaoqing River, many rivers pass through the country, which alleviates the drought to a large extent, and agricultural production is normal.
The scorching sun shone on Luan Yi's armor, and this dark iron bright silver armor was hot, Luan Yi had done an experiment, and put a raw egg on the armor under the scorching sun to fry it immediately.
It can be seen from this that wearing such an armor in this weather is what kind of torture you need to endure. The armor is no longer the armor that protects the vital points, but the copper furnace that steams people, and there is no need to dry anything if you stay inside, and the hot sweat will flow out frequently, until the underwear is soaked through. The sweat was then dried by the armor, and then sweated again...... And so on. It forces people to drink a lot of water every day, but they can't pee all day.
Since entering Qingzhou, the war of the church army has not been smooth.
In response to the old saying, the poor countryside produces the people. While helping Kong Rong relieve the siege of Beihai, more than 10,000 members of the church army and more than 20,000 rebels fought outside Beihai City. The battle was extremely fierce, and at the critical moment, the Confucian scholars could not understand the military affairs, and they fought indiscriminately, helping them to disrupt the formation of the church army. In the end, the church guards clashed to the death and struggled to maintain it, relying on the well-trained soldiers, and the brave and wise generals to win the victory.
But the victory is only a pyrrhic victory. Nearly a third of the church's people were broken, and more than 3,000 faithful Notre Dame parishioners brought out of Jinan will never see the clouds of their hometown again.
The army was seriously reduced, and Luan Yi had to add 5,000 prisoners to the battalions. It's a pity that this newly recruited pawn is much worse than the church guard in terms of quality and faith, and he needs to add more ** to become a church guard in the true sense.
To save Beihai, Luan Yi borrowed a lot of grain and grass from Kong Rong. It's in his nature as a businessman, and he can't trade at a loss.
Kong Rong was naturally willing to offer food, although he was not familiar with military affairs, he also saw that he made many mistakes in the battle that day, which affected Luan Yi. In addition, the two have a lot of private messages on weekdays, and they are pen pals for many years, and Kong Rong also loves Luan Yi's poems and novels, and they have their own sympathy between literati.
Yes, Kong Rong didn't even blink, and directly doubled the amount of grain and grass that Luan Yi asked for, and gave it twice.
Leaving Beihai, Luan Yi pointed at Linzi. This is the seat of Qingzhou Prefecture, and it is also the area where the rebels are most active.
I have to admit that Linzi anti-thief Qu Shuai Niu Ang has some insight. He had long heard that the army of the Church of Our Lady was invincible and invincible, and his combat power was extraordinary, so he heard the Malay report that the soldiers and horses of the Church were coming, and immediately decided not to be the enemy, and used the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness.
Based on the fall of the county in various places, and built camps outside the county seat, each other was horned, and the head and tail corresponded, and the church army attacked here, and the other came to help. Attack the other place, and here comes to answer it, and rob its back road.
In the face of such a high-walled camp, Luan Yi scratched his ears and cheeks, as if a tiger had caught a hedgehog, but he couldn't say it.
In a hurry, Luan Yi summoned the generals to come and discuss how to deal with it.
Xu Shu suggested that since Linzi is easy to defend and difficult to attack, why don't our army bypass Linzi for the time being, take Changyi, take Dongqi and Langya, and then the whole territory of Qingzhou will fall into my hands, and the anti-thieves will be isolated and helpless.
Luan Yi slapped his head and laughed when he heard this, and secretly sighed that he still had too poor a sense of the overall situation, and only stared at a Linzi County in front of him, but he didn't think of looking at the problem from a different angle, using frog jumping tactics, first taking other strategic points, cutting off the source of anti-thief grain and grass, and waiting for the anti-thief grain and grass to be insufficient, and the morale plummeted, and then come to the battle, and the battle will be won. "Yuan Naogo's son room!"
So according to his words, Huang Zhong was ordered to be the main general and Xu Chu to be the deputy to attack Changyi; He also ordered Xu Shu to be the main one, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun to be the deputies, and ordered the soldiers and horses to pass through the east. Together with Dian Wei, he led the army straight to Langya.
With the help of the local defenders, the Notre Dame Self-Defense Corps, and the faithful, the Three-Way Army was able to break through.
The fifth day of the seventh month. The armies of Huang Zhong and Xu Chu arrived at the city of Changyi. That night, the parishioners in the city, who had hidden their identities due to the war, quietly took out the wooden cross badge buried in their courtyard and put it on their chests, led by the divine servants. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, they gathered in the burned church by moonlight, and at the command of the priest, they suddenly lit torches and marched towards the city gates.
Tonight, Changyi City is brightly lit!
Sensing that there was something wrong in the city, Huang Zhong immediately ordered the officers and soldiers who were camped and fell asleep, attacked the city overnight, joined forces with the believers in the city, took the city gate in just one hour, and completed the anti-thief purge in the city before dawn.
Changyi Dading.
The main force of Luan Yi's handsome church went straight to Langya. At this time, Langya County had not yet fallen into the hands of the enemy, and only small-scale anti-thieves lurked in the mountains and forests, incarnated as mountain bandits and often attacked villages and counties.
There were not enough soldiers and horses in Langya County, and they could not go up the mountain to suppress bandits, so they had to be beaten passively, embarrassed, and many villages were slaughtered, and both food and property were lost.
Now it's good, the army is coming to help, and the bandits can be cut.
However, the ideal is very full, but the reality is very skinny. Although the number of thieves in the mountains is small, the mountains are quite complex, and the mountains are endless, and it is difficult to find the thieves. This has added a lot of trouble to the plan to suppress the bandits.
For this reason, Luan Yi had to change the encirclement and suppression to the temptation. He ordered the guards to dress up as caravan guards, and he put on Confucian robes as the shopkeeper, leading the chariots and horses along the official road, posing as a trade.
A thief followed the horse and saw that the ruts of the carriage were very deep, and he said that the car was loaded with a large number of valuables such as gold and silver, so he hurriedly returned to the cottage to report.
When the leader of the anti-thieves heard this, his eyes turned green, and he was really fooled, leading hundreds of anti-thieves to come and loot.
At that time, Luan Yi was dozing off on horseback, only to hear a shout of killing, and many horses came out from the middle of the mountain, lined up according to the mountain.
"The bandits are coming, run!" Luan Yi shouted, abandoned the carriage and turned around and ran. The guards followed closely behind.
Victorious without a fight, the thieves were overjoyed, and they swarmed down the mountain and rushed straight to the chariots and horses. Leap into the car and take a look at the tarpaulin...... Although the car was not loaded with yellow and white things, it was also a valuable material of great value - it was actually a jar of fine wine. Looking, smelling, and tasting are the world-famous fairy brews.
The thief was overjoyed, and rushed to lift the jar and poured it into his mouth, shouting as he drank: "Good wine, good wine!" ”
Seeing this scene, Luan Yi, who was not on the post and was fighting with the army led by Dian Wei, couldn't help but sneer, "Good wine? I'm going to let you know that it's not so easy to take advantage of. ”
"Brothers! Kill the thief! ”
Luan Yi took the longbow from the guard, opened his feet, bent the bow and arrows, and the self-defenders followed, lighting the arrow tarpaulin, the flames burned, and through the repeated black smoke rising, Luan Yi aimed at the carriage under the mountain and shot. "......"
Something embarrassing happened. After so many years, Luan Yi's archery skills still haven't improved. An arrow shot out of the target was missed, and it was not half a star. Fortunately, the arrow coincidentally smashed into another carriage, hitting a jar of fine wine, making Luan Yi's face red. Sigh that you can't play arrow B next time!
But the guards didn't know the inside story, and cheered and praised, "Sect Master's Divine Shooting!" ”
It made Luan Yi cry and laugh, and her face became more and more ruddy.
The fire arrow hit the wine jar, the immortal brewing degree is extremely high, ** spontaneous combustion, plus a large number, the air pressure suddenly increases, and it explodes when it is blocked by the pottery altar. "Boom!" More than a dozen anti-thieves around the carriage and horses were blasted out by the huge blasting force, several anti-thieves were killed on the spot, and even the horses pulling the cart were swallowed up by the flames.
The thieves were in chaos, and the cathars descended the mountain, and rockets came out in a row, setting fire to six wagons in one go. The sound of explosions continued one after another, and the "boom, boom, boom, boom" fell into a sea of fire within a radius ......of 100 meters. Countless thieves were covered in fire, wailing and rolling on the ground, but because the alcohol was too high and the temperature was too high, they were burned to death by the fire before they could extinguish the fire.
The Guardian Protector took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill hundreds of enemies. Dian Wei even captured the thief head Xiang Junsheng alive.
Luan Yi struck while the iron was hot, asked his personal entourage to bring Xiang Jun to the front, and immediately asked, "Can you be guilty?" ”
Xiang Jun, who was tied up by five flowers, knelt on the ground, his face was full of ashes, and nodded dejectedly, "The villain is guilty!" ”
"Will you atone for your sins?"
Xiang Jun's body shook violently, with tears in his eyes, and he looked up at Luan Yi. The head had just been raised, but the guards pressed it back again, "Hugh is moving!" Otherwise, don't blame me for being polite. ”
"It's okay, let him keep his head up!" Luan Yi said gently.
"Whoa!"
Xiang Jun raised his face and looked at Luan Yi on the tall horse. He couldn't describe what kind of young man he was. He was dressed in a white robe, and in the center of the milky white robe, a beautiful statue of the goddess was embroidered. Xiang Jun recognized that he had seen this statue in many temples of the Notre Dame Cult, and it was the Virgin Nuwa, the highest deity of the Notre Dame cult.
The white robe reflected a gentle white light. The white light reflected in the eyes gave people a sense of serenity. He has a handsome face, and his expression not only makes people feel friendly and gentle, but also implies the majesty of the superior, giving people the feeling of being separated. "You ......"
"Contemptible Luan Yi Luan Ziqi."
"You are...... Our Lady Master? ”
"No, it's down there!"
