Chapter 27: Xue Rengui's idol
Mo Hu'er hurriedly bowed down and said, "What is the politeness of the adult to Huzi, it is the blessing of that kid to be able to look at it...... " As she spoke, she turned her head and ordered a few words from a subordinate of the guards not far away, asking him to call Xue Rengui.
Luo Shixin saw Mo Hu'er take a bite of "that kid", and secretly laughed: If he knew about Xue Rengui's future achievements, I don't know what his reaction would be? He was very curious about Xue Rengui's joining the army at this time, and asked Mo Hu'er before he came: "What did you say earlier that Xue Rengui lied about his age in the army?" ”
Mo Hu'er said with a smile: "That was more than two years ago, according to the regulations of our dynasty at that time, you can only join the army after the age of eighteen. ”
The legal age of joining the army is different in different time periods, and as long as the height is slightly higher during the war, they will be forced to join the army. In the early years of Wude, he joined the army on the 15th, and more than two years ago, Wude was changed to the 18th army in the ninth year, and this year it has been postponed to the 20th army. This can enhance the overall strength of the soldiers, and second, keep the young people to cultivate and produce children, so as not to exhaust the water and fish.
When Xue Rengui joined the army, he was only fourteen years old, but he claimed that he had forged his identity and sealed his identity to join the army. That kid was born in Shanxi in the land of Guyan Zhao, but his small body is not small, a little eighteen-year-old, and he also has the strength of eighteen-year-old, and no one doubted it at the time, so he became a pawn in the army. In training, he did very well. Physical endurance or something is the crown of that batch of recruits, and of course it has become the head of the recruits. I saw that he was a man of manufacturability, so I promoted him to be the leader of the team. This promotion, too, went wrong. It turned out that no one cared about the identity seal of a small soldier, but the promotion to the team was precisely to check the identity and record. The kid's fake age was also recognized, and at first he thought it was a black household, but after investigation, he learned that he lied about his age, far from the age of joining the army. The initial decision was to expel him from the barracks and persuade him to return to the army when he was of the required age. Who knew that kid didn't want to go. shouted and said that the adults were thirteen in the army, and they were killed in battle formations, and they were famous all over the world. He was over fifteen years old. I'm about to turn sixteen, why can't I join the army? ”
Said here. Mo Hu'er shouted with an indignant look: "You say that you are not angry, that kid is not good to compare with anyone, you have to compare with adults." As far as his hair doesn't grow, adults are also comparable to him? He was raised by Luo Shixin, and he participated in almost all the battles that Luo Shixin experienced in the second half of his life. It can be said that it is a witness to Luo Shixin's step to this point, and in his heart, Luo Shixin is a god-like existence.
Xue Rengui, a guy who didn't have any hair, dared to mention Luo Shixin and compare him with the god in his heart. It's simply unbearable.
Mo Hu'er wanted to see how many catties and taels the person who had the courage to say such a thing was, so he personally tested Xue Rengui's strength.
Speaking of this, Mo Hu'er's face turned inexplicably red, and she lowered her head and said, "I'm ashamed!" I wanted him to know that he was awesome, but I didn't want that kid to really have real talent. He wanted to protect my face before he drew with me, but I knew in my heart that I was not his opponent when it came to fighting. Of course, compared to adults, that kid is still far behind. I saw that he was a manufactur. And he was left behind. ”
At this time, Xue Rengui strode over from a distance, and said loudly with a little excitement on his face: "Subordinate Xue Rengui, see the chief manager, the chief manager!" "The voice is childish. But it's full of neutrality.
"This time, you not only killed the enemy general, but more importantly, you also saved Liu Sima, and the credit is not small!" Luo Shixin smiled and asked, "Are you interested in coming to work under my account?" I told Manager Mo that you nodded, and he let him go. ”
Xue Rengui's face turned red with excitement, and he knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Xue Li chose to join the army in Shuofang because he worshiped the chief manager, and being able to follow the chief manager and serve the chief manager is exactly what Xue Li dreamed of." ”
Luo Shixin was a little stunned. He does know that he is a person who was born in a cattle herder, has no backstage, no power, and only works hard. Become one of the few generals in the Tang Dynasty and marry a world-famous heroine. It is for the winner of life, and everything is very inspirational, especially in the eyes of teenagers, it is a worship existence. Many teenagers wanted to follow in his footsteps and join the army, become a figure like him, and regard him as an idol. Just like the stars of later generations, they have a star effect.
But Xue Rengui, a transcendent figure in history, even said that he regarded him as an idol: this surprised Luo Shixin, but also full of self-satisfaction.
Xue Rengui was born in a family of Jiangmen, is a descendant of the famous general Xue Andu during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, belongs to the Xue family in Hedong, great-grandfather Xue Rong, the official to the Northern Wei Xinye, Wuguan two counties Taishou, the governor, Fengchengcheng County Gong. Grandfather Xue Yan, a doctor in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. However, due to his father's early death, his family was in a state of decline, his family was poor and his status was humble, and he took farming as his business.
As a general, Xue Rengui has never been willing to be buried, and has been practicing the family halberd method since he was a child, studying military books, hoping that one day he will be able to glorify his ancestors and achieve a career. But after all, he has no power or power, and it is not easy to get ahead. Luo Shixin's rise happened to give him the direction to move forward, and he also regarded it as a goal, so he specially rushed from his hometown Shanxi to Shuofang to join the army.
Of course, he knew that Luo Shixin had left Shuofang and was serving as the secretary of the criminal department in the court. But as long as Luo Shixin is still Luo Shixin, he will definitely put on armor and go into battle, and his old subordinates in Shuofang will be the first choice. As he thought, because Datang rose too quickly, it caused unrest in the surrounding area, and they united against Datang. The Tang soldiers attacked in two ways, and he naturally followed Mo Hu'er to follow Luo Shixin on the expedition.
It's just that Xue Rengui didn't expect that he would so easily let Luo Shixin take a fancy to him and promote him.
"How about you act as my bodyguard first?" Xue Rengui was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't speak, he gave a military salute again, and happily stood next to Luo Shixin.
Not long after, Li Daozong, who was in charge of cleaning up the battlefield, found Luo Shixin.
"General, the count is complete. There were more than 28,600 prisoners, of whom more than 5,000 were seriously wounded and more than 23,000 were strong in the first battle. With so many captives, what should be done. Li Daozong's brows furrowed, obviously a little irritable.
Luo Shixin thought for a while and said: "The seriously injured Guan Rice, as long as they can't die with enough stomachs, they don't give treatment, let them destroy themselves." The rest of the captives were co-opted and organized independently. ”
Mo Hu'er on the side said: "This is nearly 30,000 mouths more, and the consumption is an astronomical amount." ”
Luo Shixin said with a smile: "I, Luo Shixin, have never suffered losses, and what I gave them to eat was not given in vain." The siege of the city is a battle, and Lao Tzu's soldiers are expensive. Now there are more than 20,000 soldiers, which is a great thing. ”
Li Daozong's brows furrowed, and he said, "The last general understands." ”
When the army retreated to Jian'an City, Su Dingfang had already captured the city wall of Jian'an City, and was fighting street battles with the remaining recalcitrant soldiers in the city.
Luo Shixin asked Kratos to go to support Su Dingfang with the head and soldiers of Hu Xiegu, and the stubborn soldiers in Jian'an City had only one breath left, and when they learned that the reinforcements were killed by the annihilation commander, their morale fell suddenly, and they couldn't stop Su Dingfang and Kratos from rushing to kill, so they abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and Jian'an fell......
For the soldiers who surrendered, Luo Shixin did not refuse to be incorporated into the army.
Xincheng and Jian'an were captured, and the Goguryeo reinforcements were broken again, and the only thing left was Liaodong, which was surrounded by Tang soldiers, as long as Liaodong was taken, Liaodong, which had been occupied by Goguryeo for 200 years, officially returned to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty.
For this battle, Luo Shixin was cautious and cautious here, and transported the siege equipment made for most of the month to the city of Liaodong.
The commander of the Tang Army!
More than 20 Tang Dynasty generals stood left and right one after another, all with serious expressions: they all knew that the most critical and arduous battle was coming.
"Li Daozong and Li Hongji listened to the ......"
"No!"
"You are responsible for attacking the East and West Gates of Liao!"
Zhang Shigui and Ma Wenju listened to the order...... You are responsible for attacking the east gate of Liaodong! ”
"No!"
Next, Zhang Jian and Su Dingfang were in charge of the south gate and the north gate respectively.
One by one, appointments came out of Luo Shixin's mouth, and with the addition of nearly 100,000 soldiers, the Liaodong City was surrounded layer by layer, and the water was impassable.
An hour after Luo Shi's trust was issued, the Tang army launched a powerful offensive against Liaodong City!
This Liaodong city has been repaired by Goguryeo for 200 years, and the city walls are not to mention the high and thick walls, and the moat alone is enough to make people stop. The moat of Liaodong City is not inferior to the moat of Tang Chang'an City, the river is twenty zhang wide, the stone barrier is built with revetments, strong and steep, and the first thing to face if you want to attack the city is this wide moat, and you want to fill this moat.
Under Luo Shixin's arrangement, the captured prisoners also came in handy.
He divided nearly 25,000 Goguryeo soldiers into four parts, and gave them to the generals who attacked the city from all directions, asking them to drive the Goguryeo soldiers to cover the earth and fill the trenches, and arrange more than 1,000 cavalry to supervise the battle team behind them.
Under the coercion of the warlords, the surrendered Goguryeo soldiers had to carry bags of sand to the front.
The Goguryeo soldiers on the tower of the city did not dare to open the city, nor could they sit idly by and watch the Goguryeo soldiers fill the moat, and they were not merciful to the Goguryeo soldiers under the strict orders of Yuan Binzhi.
Tang Jun has no psychological pressure!
This battlefield place, the place where the corpses are buried, is not bad at all.
At the cost of nearly 10,000 lives, the moat of Liaodong City has been filled tightly, and all traps and obstacles have been removed......
Goguryeo's troops can only be used to fill the life, the real siege, Luo Shixin really doesn't count on them, the real combat effectiveness is still the Tang army...... Although it is said in the art of war that the siege of the city is the subordination, there is also a saying that the battle must be the siege of the city.
It is impossible to always outwit and win a war, and it is also necessary to attack a city when necessary.
Especially a city of great significance in Liaodong. (To be continued)
