Captain Qi's single name is a word, and his family background is not too high, but he is also a famous local hero in Jiyin, and his status in the local area is roughly equivalent to that of the Li family in Shanyang.

However, his career path is far less smooth than Li Dian's, and the reason can probably be attributed to standing on the wrong team and not seizing the right time.

Liu Dai's identity, status and strength are all far above Cao Cao, especially when Cao Cao first started his army, he couldn't see any future at all. Even if they get the refuge of the Li family, and the captives have recruited tens of thousands of Black Mountain thieves, it is still nothing, there is not even a place to stay, and the supply can only rely on the help of people, is it a long-term solution?

The Qi family can stand among the heroes, and there is naturally no shortage of people with vision in the family, and Qi is even better at drilling, so among the heroes of Yanzhou, he did not hesitate to choose Liu Dai.

It didn't take long for him to regret it.

It is not surprising that Liu Dai's development momentum is not as fast as Cao Cao's, after all, the latter's foundation is low, and there is a behemoth of Jizhou as a backer, the key is Liu Dai's employment standards.

Liu Dai's employment standards are completely consistent with the previous imperial court, those with prestige and status are reused, and those with a slightly inferior reputation are second, and they will definitely not appoint the poor and grass people.

People with congenital disadvantage want to get ahead?

It's hard to climb!

If they can get ahead according to this standard, the Qi family will not always be a local powerhouse, without a noble enough bloodline, there is nowhere to buy officials if they want to, and the official positions for them to purchase are also only local. For example, Qi Cheng was originally the governor of Chengwu County, and it was enough to run rampant in the township, but in front of the real big man, he was just an ant.

failed to come out, and Qi Cheng was not discouraged. He doesn't feel that he has chosen the wrong one, and at the beginning of troubled times, it is usually those who dare to take risks who prevail.

At that time, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted out the words of 'princes and generals, rather have a kind of', which set off a storm that swept the world and overthrew the invincible Qin, what kind of majesty? How domineering? And finally? It's not because of the times, Liu Bang, who took advantage of the situation, picked up the cheap.

The process of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty can also verify this truth. The red eyebrow green forest, which was dominant in the early stage, soon disappeared in the long river of history, and although the waves set off were not small, they did not have much impact on the long river, or rather. It has made a stepping stone for the latecomers, so that the latecomers can stand taller.

Therefore, in Qi Cheng's view, whether it is Wang Yu or Cao Cao, these rebels who have turned their backs on the system that has been inherited for 400 years and tried to start a new business outside the tradition. It's no different from Chen Sheng and Red Eyebrows.

The gain is only temporary, and in the end, it will definitely be ruined and shattered because of the lack of foundation.

The bigger the family. The longer the inheritance, the thicker the accumulation, relying on the former losers - the children of the poor family, or the good-for-nothing grass people. I want to fight with the clan with the backing of the family and the entire Han Dynasty as the foundation. It will only be self-defeating!

Of course, in this system, Qi Cheng himself can't get ahead, no matter how good the system is, it has nothing to do with him.

Fortunately, it is no longer a peaceful and prosperous era where the inferior are suffocated, and the troubled times have come.

Even if it has been in operation for 400 years and has been passed down for thousands of years, the Iron Curtain-like Shishu has a different system, and it cannot keep it watertight. As long as you settle down to look for opportunities, grasp opportunities, and drill hard, the opportunity to get on top will eventually appear.

After waiting for a long time, the opportunity finally fell from the sky and fell into his hands.

After he stabilized the morale of the army like a fortune, Wang Yu, the chief bookkeeper, brought the order of the lord Liu Dai - to recapture the commander-in-chief of the Chishan operation, even if it was only temporary, but it was precious!

Qi Cheng is confident and determined to keep this position and make it official. Therefore, although it is very dangerous, he must win this battle and replace the noble blood with military merit.

"Brothers, the enemy is no more than a thousand at most, and we have an army of 30,000 behind us! Nothing to fear, kill them up the hill and crush them to pieces! The lord has an order, the first to ascend, a thousand gold, a knighted doctor! Capture and kill the enemy generals, reward 10,000 gold, and seal the Qing! ”

The title of the Han Dynasty attacked the Qin system, which was similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The doctor is hereditary, has a fief, and has the title of doctor, basically belongs to the privileged class, so there is a saying that the punishment is not a doctor.

Under Wang Yu's persuasion, Liu Dai also made a bloody effort for this counteroffensive.

As long as he thought about it, let two low-level soldiers become nobles, Liu Dai's heart was as uncomfortable as eating a fly. But at an extraordinary time, it is necessary to do extraordinary things, compared to being occupied by the Qingzhou army, entering Chiping, and promoting two nouveau riche, that is, it is nothing, and it is better to be an eyesore than to lose the battle.

It seems that Qi Cheng's family background can only be regarded as a scholar class at most, and he is still far from the real aristocracy. Such a reward for ascending to the sky in one step, even when he heard it, he was thrilled, let alone an ordinary soldier?

There must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, as soon as the reward came out, the morale of the Yanzhou army was suddenly greatly boosted, and the panic of the right talent was all thrown to the back of his mind, and with Qi Cheng's shout: "Before!" In the dark, the crowd of people rolled and surged, going up against the mountain.

Countless torches were lit in the city and in the camp beneath the city, dotted with stars, and soon they were connected

A piece of light, illuminating the cold night. However, neither the top of the hill nor the assault troops were ignited, and attacking the top of the mountain is undoubtedly the most conducive to the power of long-range weapons.

The large number of sharpshooters in the enemy formation left an extremely deep and bloody impression on Qi Cheng. At this moment, although he shouted loudly in his mouth, he would not be careless at all.

The visibility of the "bow and arrow preparation ......" was too low, and the advance speed of the mountain attack troops was not fast, and under Qi Cheng's skillful scheduling, the more than 2,000 archers who had been temporarily mobilized had completed the assembly and could start remote cover.

Raising his hand, looking at the night, Chishan's figure is not only not precipitous, but can be described as low and gentle, Qi Cheng is full of spirit.

Make a contribution and squeeze into the ranks of the family, just today!

"Shoot the arrows!" The raised hand waved down suddenly, and Qi Cheng broke off with a loud voice.

"Wind! Wind! Wind! Like an echo, the archers' generals gave the order, and the rapidly trembling bowstrings played a new chapter in the night battle. A sharp chiss tore through the night sky!

"Kill! Assault of the whole army! Qi Cheng raised his sword and shouted.

"Bow and arrow ready, three salvos, don't give them a chance to breathe!"

"Captain Wu, please lead a battalion of soldiers and horses to attack from the north, don't seek to attack the top of the mountain, as long as you can contain the enemy army, it will be a great achievement!"

"Captain Zhou, please ......"

Orders were issued like a stream, eliminating the interference of the heavy night. The army went on the offensive in an orderly manner.

"Gong Dai really has good eyesight, Ba Liang will be in the army, this courage is quite the legacy of Emperor Guangwu back then!"

"Forgive that Wang Yu attacked with surprise soldiers, and the soldiers were only hundreds. The geographical advantage is only a small mountain, and it must also have the heart of underestimating the enemy, so they raised troops to attack. But he didn't expect that if the commander of Dai Gong was determined, the army was also a good general, even if there was cover at night, he would not be able to escape defeat after all. ”

"Those who are good at water drown, and those who are good at riding fall. Wang Yu is a thief who is good at using strange soldiers, but this time he made a mistake, and he finally met a tiger in the mountains. I think that there are only 20,000 soldiers in Qingzhou, and they will not be more than people with low status such as Ban and Huang Zhong. In addition to the fierce battle in Hebei, he even dared to provoke in the west, isn't this death? I'll cut off his finger first! ”

Watching the river from a high altitude is certainly very tasteful, but the feeling of watching the battle from a high altitude is even better.

Although visibility is too low. I can't see the specific battle situation clearly, but when the offensive of the army is launched. In the haze, you can also see the ridges of the crowd; You can hear the bowstring fluttering and the sound of arrows breaking through the air; And then feel the atmosphere of the golden iron horse.

Accompanied by a pot of turbid wine, this feeling is even more intense, making people drunk, not feeling drunk, indulging in the reverie of the lupine towel talking and laughing, and the powerful enemy will be wiped out.

"Think about how big the mountain is, two thousand strong bows, three rounds of continuous shooting, presumably the mountain has been swept over, the thief army has suffered heavy casualties, how can the enemy be surrounded and suppressed by my army on three sides? The difference between victory and defeat is in an instant! Wang Kao commented in a heroic tone, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Liu Dai was open-minded, raised his glass to invite, and said: "Come on, come on, and let the children go to capture the thief by themselves, and the gentlemen drink this cup, and wait for the children to capture the thief, and then reopen the banquet, and make it a gift to show the pride of breaking the enemy tonight." ”

The celebrities and gentlemen agreed with a bang, toasted together, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.

The wine glass was on his lips, Liu Dai was about to drink it all, and suddenly noticed someone's independent behavior, a trace of displeasure suddenly flashed on his face, and he lightly smacked the wine glass on the table, and said coldly: "Wen Yan, what do you say?" ”

"Don't dare." Wang Yu arched his hand and said: "The soldiers of the night attack in Qingzhou came fiercely, and instantly defeated a battalion of soldiers and horses on the top of the mountain, at this moment, our army is attacking like a tide, but the top of the mountain is quiet, there is no movement at all, I am afraid it will ......"

Liu Dai was silent, and Liu Shao replied with a smile: "With the covering shot of two thousand strong bows, the soldiers on the top of the mountain have already suffered heavy casualties, what can they do?" ”

Wang Yu shook his head and retorted bluntly: "Even if there are heavy casualties, there must be some movement, right?" ”

"That's ......" Liu Shao was stunned. He had read a lot of military books, but he had never really been exposed to real warfare. Let him comment on the battle situation, he can talk like a river, and talk endlessly without repeating it all night; Zhu Jie's article can also be written in a colorful way, which makes people read it with pride, but he knows nothing about the specific process and details.

In his mind, as long as he has great courage and momentum, and has a large army, then what is there to worry about?

The top of the mountain was empty, there was no cover, how could the enemy troops gathered together avoid the salvo of two thousand strong bows? Even if they get away with it, will they be able to withstand the onslaught that follows?

Wang Yu sighed mournfully: "This is a night battle, different, different. ”

Liu Dai and the others looked at each other, but they were very annoyed in their hearts, they knew it earlier, so they let Wang Yu stay below, and they were kind for a while, but it made him lose everyone's interest.

"Wen Yan's concerns are also reasonable, the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, although tonight's battle will be won, but ......" Wang Kao relied on the old man to come out to play a round, and just half of the words were spoken, but there was a sudden change under the mountain!

"Ah......" first sounded, and then came and went, and the sound became one, which was the absolute sound of attachment and unwillingness to life before people died.

The surprise attack troops, who had been enduring for a long time, began to exert their might.
