Zheng Fan and Ah Ming returned to the fortress,

The next moment,

All of them are on alert.

The sentry riders who had been released at night according to the custom were all recruited.

The role of the Sentinel in Castle is to be responsible for cruising and guarding, providing respite and relaxation for the robe of the family to sleep and rest or daily activities.

At present, since it has been concluded that there is a large Qianguo cavalry heading north, and the target is their own Cuiliu Fort, therefore, when the house is completely guarded, the sentinel cavalry outside no longer has any practical role.

Zheng Shoubei is used to doing small business, and he pays attention to a baht, rather than letting the sentry ride be touched or washed away by others outside, it is better to take it back.

On the battlements of the castle, the soldiers had bows and crossbows in their hands, and even the hot oil to resist the other party's siege was already burning in a large iron cauldron just in case.

If this is an exercise, then Cuiliubao will inevitably be able to take a mobile red flag of an advanced combat collective.

Oh yes,

The sign of Cuiliu Fort, which was originally hung at the gate of the fortress, had already ordered people to take it off quickly when Zheng Fan came back.

The cold wind of the night howled over and over again over the fort, but none of the soldiers dared to slack off in the slightest.

Because what his own military gate brought back was not only the news that the Qianqi might attack their fort in the north, but also the news of everyone's military exploits this time.

The families of the prisoners will soon be denaturalized, and the barbarians will soon be able to get the Yanguo household registration, stimulated by these two good news, the so-called enemy shadow is really nothing.

Liang Cheng is commanding the defense and arranging the troops, in fact, since the other party is a cavalry advance, it is impossible to really fight a tough battle generously.

Approximate appearance, it should be the same as when I entered the Qianguo twice to fight Mianzhou City, and it is impossible for the ladder ants to attack the city, and it is to catch you off guard.

In Liang Cheng's opinion, everyone is waiting for the battle at the moment, unless the Qianguo generals on the opposite side really have their brains in water, it is unlikely that they will order an attack on such a fortified fortress with a well-defended city wall.

You get what you pay for, compared to the military village surrounded by other people's casual wooden fences, this one in Cuiliubao can be said to be quite a "turtle shell".

To Zheng Fan's surprise and joy, the blind man woke up.

After the city of Mianzhou controlled Mrs. Daxi, the blind man's mental strength was seriously overdrawn and he was in a coma for two days.

At this time, the blind man was sitting in a wheelchair, with a hot towel on his forehead, and it looked very delicate.

"When did you wake up?" Zheng Fan asked.

"Afternoon." After the blind man answered, he coughed a few times.

"It's a mess this time." Zheng Fan said.

"It's fine." The blind man looked very calm, "The luck of the Lord is gone." ”

Tongue grabbed, ask where is your home......

"Well, good-hearted people, God will definitely bless you."

"............" blind.

Xu had just woken up, and his spirit was still a little weak, and the blind man could not keep up with the thickness of the Lord's face for a while.

Zheng Fan told the story of eating wontons during the day again, including the old man who told the fortune and the down-and-out swordsman.

Blind North asked:

"Then the Lord didn't tell the secret department?"

Zheng Fan shook his head and said, "I originally wanted to tell it, but after thinking about it, forget it." ”

"Well, according to the Lord, those two have obviously surpassed the level of the so-called spies, the tall one, just leave it to the tall man to deal with, and we don't need to interfere."

"Well, that's what I thought."

The wolf smoke of Cuiliu Fort rose at this time.

How many pillars of smoke, what color of smoke, and how to play with them, to be honest, no one in Willow Fort knows.

If the Qianguo fortress system is a waste of personnel, then the Yan State can be said to be completely stretched.

The long-term strategic advantage coupled with the psychological advantage made the Yan people not care much about these details, and now the Qianguo cavalry is going north, so they can be like a fish in water.

Wolf smoke, you have to rely on the divergence of other nearby forts to really play the effect of "beacon fire", which actually has a very profound knowledge, not inferior to the spy war of the spies in World War II.

It's a pity that long after the wolf smoke of Cuiliu Fort rose, there was no second pillar of smoke nearby.

Since the war between the two countries, Dayan, who has been in a strong main offensive position, is sluggish and weakened like an old man at this time.

Zheng Fan was even sure that the cadres and soldiers still had not been effectively encircled, suppressed and threatened enough, and the military leaders in all walks of life basically reflected that in the face of such an unexpected situation, they must be stubbornly waiting for reinforcements, which is also a way to preserve their strength.

Well, Zheng Shoubei did the same.

Of course, Zheng Shoubei has reasons and excuses, because of special reasons, Zheng Shoubei knows that the target of the other party's sneak attack on the north this time is his Cuiliu Castle.

Therefore, Zheng Garrison's plan was to stick to attract the opponent's firepower, and then let the friendly forces counter-encircle it.

Of course, this is just an excuse.

At night, even if the Qianguo army was alone, but before figuring out the specific number and battle of the other party, Zheng Fan was reluctant to let his cavalry rush out to play some night battle with others.

Military feats are very tempting, but if you accidentally beat up your subordinates, you will still feel sorry for yourself.

On the battlements, Zheng Fan held a hot wine in his hand and drank it in small sips, just to keep warm.

Liang Cheng stood beside Zheng Fan, his eyes kept looking into the distance.

With Liang Cheng by his side, Zheng Fan felt very secure, and at the same time, only Zheng Fan and the demon kings knew that there was still a real big killer sleeping inside Cuiliu Castle.

It's just that the big killing weapon is not very convenient to reveal in front of people, and it is best not to use it if it can be used, but at least it can save your life.

The cold wind was still blowing, and Zheng Fan's eyelids began to droop and become sleepy.

Outside, it was still quiet, and I didn't know how many military villages that the cadres had broken, and I didn't know if there was a general soldier who "destroyed his family and relieved the difficulty", regardless of his own strength, insisted on leading his troops to take down the other party.

"Lord, subordinates have always been very strange."

Liang Cheng learned Zheng Fan's posture, and also sat down with his back against the wall.

"Say."

Zheng Fan handed the wine in his hand to Liang Cheng.

Liang Cheng stretched out his hand to take it,

Zheng Fan took his hand back again,

Laughed:

"I forgot you're not afraid of the cold."

If zombies are afraid of the cold, then the electric blanket can be sold out of stock in Sanya.

"Lord, the reaction of the Jingnan Army is too strange."

This is Liang Cheng's observation, since the start of the war, oh no, in fact, strictly speaking, it is not counted since the war, that time is the first time that Cuiliubao went to Qianguo to walk the bend, and then Tian Wujing led 10,000 Jingnan Army iron cavalry to pick up Zheng Fan's small army back.

After that, Jingnanhou went to Yanjing.

After returning, the order was issued to officially start a war against Qianguo, but apart from forcing these small warlord leaders to constantly attack and harass south, the Jingnan army did not send a single soldier to fight.

Zheng Fan nodded and said:

"At first, I thought that the Marquis of Jingnan was waiting, waiting for us military leaders to stir up the anger of the Qianguo people, and when the three sides of the Qianguo sent elites to strangle us, the Jingnan army attacked with thunder again, ate the elite of the three sides of the Qianguo, and paved the way for the south.

We, the military leaders, to put it bluntly, are tactical bait, paving the way for grand strategy. ”

When Liang Cheng heard this, he said:

"But that Qianguo's Captain Yang has not been able to defend himself, and he has not come out to provoke him, and Qianguo has also transferred several of the most capable troops in the country to the north and set up a complete iron bucket formation."

"yes, I don't quite understand it either."

"In fact, a sneak attack by a small force like this does not have much impact on the overall situation." Liang Cheng paused and continued: "No matter how many military villages the Qianguo cavalry rushed through tonight and how many army leaders were defeated, it could not change the pattern of the Yan State attacking and defending the Qianguo in terms of grand strategy.

To put it bluntly, the purpose of this army going north is similar to the previous two times that we went south in Cuiliu Fort, and the effect of exaggerating merit to improve morale is greater.

And since the other party is clearly coming to trouble us in Cuiliu Castle, it should be that we swept thousands of wolf soldiers outside Mianzhou City last time, making their faces disgraced, so we made a trip without being rude.

But as long as he waited until daylight, this army would still withdraw quickly, and it was impossible for him to hold any of the fortresses. ”

As long as the day comes, and the communication that is jerky and slow because of the darkness is restored, it is impossible for the commander-in-chief to say that it is impossible for this army to continue on the border of Dayan.

At that time, it was no longer a question of preserving strength or not, but of national honor, and the nature of the country had changed dramatically.

The Jingnan army suppressed everything in the rear, and Emperor Yan had just stepped on the gate valve, and the gate valve had been wiped out for hundreds of years, so why not be a small general soldier of you?

In the past, those who were soldiers, especially those who were chief soldiers, would always have a gate valve or even two gate valves behind them, and it was not easy for anyone to move, and they all had to turn into endless ripping, but now it will not.

Zheng Fan took another sip of wine,

Road:

"What do you mean, why did the Marquis of Jingnan just give the order and did not send the Jingnan Army south, no, even as long as the Jingnan Army continues to be stationed in Nanwangcheng and maintains direct influence over the border area, it is impossible for many military leaders on the border of our Dayan to be so scattered."

If the Jingnan Army is still stationed in Nanwang City at this time, if Jingnan Hou Tian Wujing himself is still living in Nanwang City at this time, even if it is night, who dares to covet and preserve strength?

Even Zheng Fan had to lead seven or eight hundred cavalry out to find the cadre cavalry to block, attack, and consume.

As long as the tiger stares, the monkeys in the mountains have to behave desperately, and now, the tiger is a bit like a nap.

"Actually, I don't know why." Zheng Fan said very sincerely.

He, the "master", really doesn't need to play any mystery with his subordinates, who doesn't know whom.

"However, Ah Cheng, you can think a little higher, although I have wronged you now, we will order troops in Cuiliu Castle like this, but you can try to imagine what you will do when you have 50,000 Jingnan Army and 200,000 Zhenbei Army Iron Cavalry in your hands."

Liang Cheng shook his head and said:

"Lord, this is hard to imagine, because there are still a lot of things involved in politics."

Liang Cheng doesn't understand politics, or rather, he is too lazy to play politics, and he has always been a very proud person in his bones.

Zheng Fan nodded, took another sip of wine, and did not speak.

Alas, it's really annoying to stay on the wall on such a cold day.

Originally, what Zheng Fan thought was that after sending the head and handing over the military merits, after coming back, everyone in Cuiliu Fort was elated, and then he would talk about the 1,500 barbarian soldiers again, and the demon kings were also happy.

After that, I can take a beautiful bath, and then let Siniang change the white silk tonight.

alas

The script that I had thought of was ruined by that cadre horse.

Zheng Fan wiped the tip of his nose with the back of his hand and exhaled.

At that moment, there was a commotion on the battlements.

Liang Cheng turned sideways and looked out through the wall battlement, and said to Zheng Fan at the same time:

"There's cavalry approaching!"

………

The silver armor on Zhong Tianlang's body has been soaked in several layers of blood, and he has always liked to rush to the front line, and the blood stains on the armor are naturally Yan people.

When they first entered Yandi, they picked out a small fortress, and then drove straight in, but they failed to meet the pre-notified Silver Armor Guard spy to lead the way, which made their team a little "dazed" for a while.

It is normal for generals to get lost, and many generals in history have lost their way.

Moreover, Zhong Tianlang is not lost, he remembers the way back, but in the face of the "uneven" military fortress system on the Dayan border, he is a little unclear about the goal.

Even the local people of Yan Kingdom, in the face of so many military villages that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain in the past few months, it is quite difficult to figure out which one is which one to go to.

However, fortunately, Zhong Tianlang was lucky, and he took the risk of catching two tongues on the road, and really asked him the location of Cuiliu Castle.

Rushing to Cuiliu Fort, the general named "Zheng Fan" was still a little backbone, and he would rather die than surrender than be captured, so he committed suicide directly.

Zhong Tianlang still remembers the angry eyes of "Zheng Fan" before he died,

Enough to be visible,

The anger in the heart of this Yan barbarian and the death of the blind eye!

It's a man!

It's a pity that Zhong Tianlang couldn't leave him a whole corpse, so he still cut off his head, and at the same time, he took advantage of the night to pick three Yanren military villages.

The defensive system of these military villages is very loose, and they have an absolute superiority in troops, and it is not difficult to attack and cover them at night, and then attack suddenly, and break them.

However, despite this, the Yan people's counterattack when they were attacked still made Zhong Tianlang a little smacked.

Born in the Western Army, he faced the Beiqiang tribe or the Tusi in the southwest mountains since he was a child.

But these Yan people, as long as they have a knife in their hands and have no way to escape, often choose to take the initiative to fight to the death.

Therefore, there were also a lot of casualties in his own team.

Originally, when he was in the Western Army, Zhong Tianlang was still a little disdainful when he learned that the troops on the three sides of the Qianguo would be pressed by the Yan people and did not dare to raise his head.

After this real contact, although it was a victory, he also slowly realized that these Yan barbarians are indeed not characters that can be easily kneaded.

The most important thing is that what he is facing is nothing more than the ragtag army of the Yan people, the military leaders who are standing there one by one, the real elite of the Yan people in Yinlang County, the Jingnan Army, has not yet appeared.

again

The Zhenbei Army, which can make the three eastern kingdoms extremely fearful, has not yet gone south.

After this experience, Zhong Tianlang somewhat understood how wise his old man's decision to start digging trenches and building fortresses was as soon as he entered Mianzhou City.

The Yan people are arrogant and arrogant, and their own combat power is extremely good, and now the great cadres can only use this way to dissipate the arrogance of the Yan people, and then take advantage of this opportunity of the national war to rearmament.

Fortunately, the Yan people are poor, and the Yan land is also poor.

As a general, Zhong Tianlang knew that he should not have such thoughts, but these thoughts kept wandering in his mind uncontrollably.

However, he was a young man after all, young and presumptuous!

This time, he at least gave a bad breath for Da Qian, so that Yan Ren also knew that Da Qian also had a bloody man!

It was not early, Zhong Tianlang did not dare to continue to stay here, but led the army to prepare for the return journey.

The former army came to report that it was going to pass through a Yanren fortress in front, and the fortress was very well-built, like a small city.

Zhong Tianlang led a group of personal soldiers to come on horseback,

After seeing the fortress in front of you,

He couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart,

The walls of the fortress are towering, and at the same time, there are ditches and visible fences below, and the upper layers are distinct, and the corners are protruding, although the shape is a little peculiar, but Zhong Tianlang can see at a glance the cleverness of this fortress design.

No matter which direction you attack the city from, you will be hit from three sides.

And this fortress looks like it was newly built.

"It is said that the Yan people are iron and armored in the world, but now it seems that among the Yan people, there are also good guards."

This fortress, although it was Xiao Liuzi who contributed to the work, was designed by a blind man, and the blind man used the castle design method of later Europeans.

When the original national surname recovered Taiwan, it was also a headache for this kind of castle of the Dutch.

Zhong Tianlang knew that this kind of castle, coupled with the faintly visible figures of soldiers on the city wall, was not something he could gnaw down now.

However, there is generally a feeling of heroes cherishing heroes, picking several military villages in a row, and finally seeing an opponent who is so willing to put so much effort into the construction of military villages, Zhong Tianlang instigated the war horse under his crotch to move forward, and picked Deng Ziliang's head with a gun.

Shouting ahead:

"Yan Dog, Cuiliu Fort has been destroyed by your Grandpa Zhong, and the head of Cuiliu Fort is here to guard Zheng Fanren!

You wait for the head to be stored on your neck first, and wait for your grandfather Zhong to come and pick it up in the future! ”

For a long time, the fortress ahead was still silent, and no one answered.

Zhong Tianlang saw that the other party's fortress was silent,

smiled,

To a few generals around the school:

"It seems that after beheading Zheng Fan, who has the highest reputation and military merit in the Yan people, he has indeed severely damaged the arrogance of the Yan people!"

In fact, after Zhong Tianlang finished shouting,

Guards of Castle Willow,

Look at me,

I'll look at you,

Then let's take a look at the guards who are also drinking on the city walls,

Let's take a look at the dry generals shouting under the torches outside,

At this time, everyone has a thought in their hearts,

Here's the dry general:

Isn't Mo a fool?
