Chapter 4 The Four Famous Generals of the Warring States
Ordinary people raised the curtain, a piece of wind and sand blew, and a towering city wall appeared in front of them.
"Brother Chang, that's my Daijun Xicheng Pass."
But see that the two sides of the city wall of Xichengguan are natural cliffs, the cliff stone gorge is black and brown, the pass is "V" shaped, the upper is wide and the lower is narrow, the lower part of the cliff is 3 meters wide and narrow passage, the city wall is about 10 meters high, the moat is 5 meters wide, the cliffs on both sides are about 200 meters high, there is a wild goose gate tower built on the city wall, the flag is displayed upstairs, and the soldiers on the city wall downstairs are strictly guarded.
"This is the northern fortress established by King Wuling of Zhao back then, no wonder it can resist the Xiongnu in the northern frontier, it is really strong and majestic" Seeing such a majestic city, ordinary people can't help but sigh, when the polytechnic man Tongzhen chatted in the desert, he tutored the culture of Zhao by the way.
Under the city wall in the distance, many herdsmen and merchants were lining up to be inspected by entering the city at this time, and it was a prosperous scene.
Suddenly, the right ear of the ordinary person moved slightly, and he suddenly turned to look behind him.
Guo Dayong also looked back at it in wonder, "What's wrong?" Brother Chang. ”
"Oh, Brother Guo, are there still troops entering the city at this time?"
"There were two teams of men patrolling the city at the same time as me some time ago, but I have been delayed for so long, I guess they should have returned."
Ordinary people smiled and said, "I really want to go into the city quickly to visit the prosperous scene in the city!" After speaking, he pulled Guo Dayong and ran quickly towards the city gate.
In fact, ordinary people have heard that there is a large group of cavalry approaching in the rear, but there are some things that are inconvenient to say clearly, and at this time we should still maintain the usual style of "low-key, low-key".
Just as the two of them ran towards the city gate, dust flew at the end of the road behind them, and an arrow shot into the sky. ”
Guo Dayong stood and looked up.
"What's wrong? Brother Guo"
"The Huns are coming, and it's our people who are signaling."
After the arrows, the gongs and drums on the city wall sounded, and the crowd suddenly lost order and rushed to the city gate, the soldiers outside did not stop it, and the city gate was opened to let the crowd pass, Guo Dayong pulled ordinary people to run towards the city.
But there were too many people outside the city, and at this time the cavalry in the rear had already caught up, "Stop!" A crisp voice shouted.
Ordinary people looked back, but saw that the cavalry in the rear was neatly arranged 50 meters away from the crowd, and the leader was a female general, wearing a red tasseled silver helmet, wearing silver armor and silver boots, wearing a red cloak, and the red war horse under the seat snorted.
"It's Lord Li Jing! It turned out to be really our people," Guo Dayong said with a smile.
Li Jing saw that all the people in the city had not yet withdrawn into the city, so he ordered his soldiers to turn their horses around and cover the retreat.
After a while, not only ordinary people, but everyone under the city gate could clearly hear the rumbling hooves of horses and the neighing of war horses in the distance, and the Huns had arrived.
After entering the city, Guo Dayong climbed the city wall with ordinary people, watching Guo Dayong keep greeting the officers and soldiers he met, and ordinary people intuitively thought that Guo Dayong should not be an ordinary scout.
On the city wall, the two stood in a corner of the city wall, and they could see tens of thousands of Hun cavalry in the distance confronting Li Jing's hundreds of people.
"The people have withdrawn, why haven't they withdrawn?" Ordinary people looked at Li Jing's back and asked.
Guo Dayong pointed to the front and explained, "The Huns know that they can't attack the city with cavalry, they always come to attack when the people enter the pass, you see that the position where they are stopping now is exactly the edge of the range of the bow and arrow, if the county lord returns to the city at this time, the Huns will follow, and there will be no time to raise the drawbridge." ”
Li Jing at this time also rode the tiger difficult, his distance from the enemy is less than 100 meters, for the cavalry a charge in front of her, she knows that the Huns are waiting for themselves to return to the city if they do not kill themselves now, if they put arrows on their own city walls to support, then I am afraid that before the enemy is shot, they have been martyred first, and they are like the prey of the Huns, they can be slaughtered at any time.
In the Hun formation, a general rode out on horseback. In front of the camp, he pointed at Li Jing with a scimitar and didn't know what he was talking about, and the Hun soldiers in the rear laughed.
Ordinary people listen attentively, Mongolian? Although it has some accents, ordinary people can hear that it is indeed Mongolian, and it is all about grabbing the three armies and rewarding everyone as a wife or something.
Li Jing observed the other party's expression, knew that he was insulting himself, and reached out to hold the waist knife, only to find that his palms were full of cold sweat, and he knew in his heart that if there was a slight difference today, the hundreds of elites of Daijun around him would follow him to Huangquan.
At this time, the wooden door of the stilted building on the city wall opened, a burly man wearing a golden helmet and gold armor, wearing a black cloak paced out, every place he passed, the officers and soldiers around him all saluted, the big man walked to the edge of the city wall, only one hand held the wall battlement and looked at the city, his expression was melancholy, but his eyes were resolute.
Guo Dayong quickly stepped forward a few steps and fell to his knees, "General, please allow your subordinates to lead the army into battle, and I will definitely save the county lord." ”
The surrounding officers and soldiers then all knelt on one knee, "My subordinates are willing to go to war and save the county lord back!" ”
Dahan shook his hand: "I once had an order, the Huns arrived, collect troops and hold on, it is strictly forbidden to fight, and those who violate the order to fight, even if they win, they will not be killed." ”
"But the county lord!"
"The military order is like a mountain, and you can only be wronged."
General? Is this Li Jing's father? The heart is too ruthless, this little girl is only seventeen or eighteen years old when she looks good, what kind of military order is like a mountain, the ancients just didn't know how to be flexible. Ordinary people are in their hearts.
Although I don't want to be nosy, the first impression of the little girl in the city is good, I can't bear to see that I was arrested by the Huns as a wife, and secondly, I see that Brother Guo, who is kneeling on the ground, has burst into tears, and I am a little distressed, and I am afraid that I will have to trouble people when I go to Handan.
The ordinary man turned around, stretched out his arm and aimed at the Hun general, glanced at his thumb in front of him, nodded his head, and turned around and walked towards the golden-armored man.
"Stop! Who? The guards on both sides drew their swords to stop the ordinary people.
Only then did the general notice ordinary people, the two sides looked at each other, ordinary people observed the man in front of him, less than forty years old but slightly old, handsome, his face was like a knife, his temples were slightly gray, and there was a pair of cold eyes under his thick eyebrows, which seemed to be able to see through people, and the other party was also observing ordinary people.
"General Mingjian, this is my brother Li Changren, brother Li is extraordinary, without him, Dayong will not be able to come back." Guo Dayong was still kneeling aside at this time, and kept gesturing to ordinary people, "Brother Chang, don't kneel down to meet General Li Mu."
Li Mu? Familiar, familiar, ordinary people are really familiar this time, in the desert has heard Zhen introduced, this period of this place, are under the jurisdiction of Zhao general Li Mu, "Li Mu, in 229 BC was killed by Zhao Wang Qian, Ying surname, Li, Mingmu, Bairen (now Hebei Longyao) people, Zhao military strategists during the Warring States Period, and Bai Qi, Wang Qian, Lian Po and called the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, but his right hand was disabled since childhood, and finally swallowed the sword and died. Ordinary people went through the information provided by Zhen at that time in their minds, thinking that Li Mu in front of him did not seem to be disabled, and it seemed that the historical materials could not be fully trusted.
Ordinary people don't kneel, and clasp their fists with both hands, "The general is good, in extraordinary times, the grass people don't talk about red tape, dare to ask the general if he wants to save the county lord?" ”
"Bold!" The officers and soldiers on both sides glared angrily.
Li Mu looked at ordinary people and waved his hand to the soldiers on both sides, "Stand down, Dayong, you also get up, what does this little brother think?" ”
Sure enough, he is a person who understands the general situation, and ordinary people think.
"The grass people want to borrow a good bow from the general first", after ordinary people finished speaking, Guo Dayong lowered his head thoughtfully.
Li Mu nodded, and said to the guard beside him without hesitation, "Go and bring my bow to this little brother."
After a while, the guard handed over a black longbow to the ordinary man, who put it on the cushion, pulled the bow full against the void, and praised: "Good bow".
Ordinary people didn't notice it, and at this time, the surrounding officers and soldiers cast a surprised gaze, because as we all know, the general's bow can hardly be easily filled except for the general.
Li Mu was also surprised, and then waved his hand, and the soldier lifted out the arrow rack, and the feather arrows in the arrow were obviously larger than ordinary arrows.
Ordinary people also smiled bitterly, Brother Mu, don't play like this, ordinary arrows are not good, make me such a big lump.
Ordinary people secretly run the innate skills in their bodies, stretch out their hands to feel the direction of the wind, take a deep breath, bend the bow, take the arrow, calculate the strength and distance in their hearts, ordinary people think, obediently my dear, very moment, don't drop the chain for my brother.
After the leader of the Huns boosted his morale, he was thinking about how to run to the city gate with the little girl skin in front of him, and then how to catch him back as a slave girl, the corners of his mouth were beautiful, and a black spot suddenly shot at him in the direction of the city gate, but he was not worried, because his current position had been calculated in advance, and the other party's arrows were only humiliating.
Before this benevolent brother beckoned his subordinates to prepare to attack, the black dot suddenly accelerated, "Poof~!" Warm blood splashed all over his body, and his mount was carried by a huge arrow to the Hun camp, and the Hun leader was almost trampled into flesh by the panicked war horse behind him after landing.
A cry sounded on the city wall: "Kill~Kill!" Kill! ”
This momentum is the first to seize people, because it is not clear what new weapons the Zhao people have, the leader of the Huns was embarrassed by his subordinates to help up, immediately ordered the whole army to retreat ten miles, to find out that they were deceived, the city tower was empty, and had no choice but to withdraw again.
In the west pass, in the back hall of the general's mansion, Li Mu set up a celebration banquet!
