Chapter Forty-Seven: The Fall of Cammonan
Yanzhou, located in the northeast of the Liang Kingdom, is a vast grassland where herders who have lived by grazing have lived here for generations.
On the grassland of Yanzhou, dotted all over the place, large and small horse farms have contributed a batch of excellent war horses to Daliang every year, almost single-handedly supporting half of the war horse consumption of Daliang's millions of iron horses, the importance of Yanzhou to Daliang is naturally self-evident, and it is no wonder that only the border of Yanzhou has been invested in a lot of manpower and material resources by Daliang at any cost, and has built up the most solid line of defense.
If you want to say that the most fertile place in Yanzhou water and grass is Hulan County in the northwest.
Kanmengan, the county seat of Hulan County, as a county town, the central hub, and the most important thing, it is said that it should be located in the hinterland of a county that is protected by layers, just like the fragile internal organs in the human body, which are also under the thick fat and flesh, but Kanmengan is very rare to stand on the border close to the enemy country, and there is a taste of fearlessness.
As a county town, it is also a border city and a place of trade in the past, and it is also the starting point of the entire Yanzhou defense line, which is unique in the entire southern land.
The former general soldier of Kanmeng'an, who was originally stationed here, was directly transferred to Moke County, located in the middle of Yanzhou, after making great achievements in suppressing bandits, although it seems that he was transferred from a border army commander to the rear as a deputy general, just looking at the transfer of this position, I am afraid that I can't even say that I am not even level, and I don't know the joints, I am afraid that I will think that this reckless man has offended someone, resulting in being degraded.
From the general soldier who says everything to the deputy general who lives by looking at people's faces, it seems to be a lot more miserable on the surface, but it also depends on who his boss is.
As the deputy of the general of the unified army who commands the entire Xiong Zhen army, even if he is not qualified enough in the future, he is not capable enough, he can't compete for the other one, and he has to add a despised "deputy" in front of the general for the rest of his life, but it is better than spending his life at the border, and he can't say that he can be transferred to the capital again, with his name as the deputy general of the Xiong Zhen army, it is not too much to be a soldier squire.
This kind of transfer, even if it is not the best, but Wanyan Keni also accepted it very calmly, after all, most of this military merit, in exchange, is not his promotion, but the imperial court's attention to the entire Xiong Zhen army and the tilt of resources, as a native of Yanzhou, he is also a man trained by the Xiong Zhen army, he feels that this is enough, even if the court does not move his position, directly send a batch of brand-new war horses and armaments to offset the account, it is worth it.
Hey, hey, it's best to send a batch of light crossbows that the grandsons of the Bloody Army like to show off, and when the time comes, let's take the time to go and shake in front of them, and vent the evil anger, that's really comfortable.
After Yan Keni left, if you want to say who is the most uncomfortable, it must be Pu Dingbo, the county guard of Hulan County.
Not to mention the relationship between the two sides that have been honed over the years, let's just say that the new chief soldier is not as bold as Yan Keni, and after taking over with his subordinates, he directly shrank in the urn city and closed his door, as if he completely enshrined the rule of the imperial court that "military attaches are not the same as civil officials" as a life creed, and he didn't even have the intention of discussing city defense with himself, and he was completely behind closed doors.
It's been more than half a month, and I've never taken the initiative to come to the county guard's mansion to pay a visit, let alone invite him to Pu Dingbo.
However, this is not good, and it will save you from wasting energy and time to probe the other party's true thoughts, and you may accidentally make both parties unhappy.
Anyway, the court stipulates that the city defense is the responsibility of others, and the government affairs are their own responsibility.
---------------------------------------------
In the dead of night, dark clouds obscured the moon, and the whole of Khammonan was completely shrouded in the darkness of the night.
At this moment, it was the second half of the night when the routine curfew was imposed, and there was no one else on the streets of the city except for patrolling and watching, even the county guard Pu Dingbo, who had been sleeping for a long time.
Managing a county, more than ten counties under its jurisdiction, and the livelihood of millions of people have to rely on him to make decisions alone, and there are naturally a lot of things to be done every day, and the official business folds to be dealt with in a day are piled up, I am afraid that they are higher than him, and they have worked like this for more than ten years, almost never rested, and they did not take advantage of their leisure time to rest as much as possible, but they were afraid that they had already been exhausted.
The people in the house all know that their master is hard, if there is really something important, they will rarely take the initiative to come to disturb him, and even if there is, they will prioritize it, and most of them would rather be punished afterwards until after the rooster crows.
However, today is different, a middle-aged man who is obviously dressed as a subordinate ran over with a frightened expression, ignoring even his manners, let alone any rules, and directly banged on the door and broke in.
There was a "clang", and the door opened.
There are too many things to think about every day, Pu Dingbo is not in good spirits, his sleep is actually very shallow, and a little movement can wake him up on weekdays, let alone such a big movement.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and the moment he lifted the quilt from the bed and sat up, he had already reached out and pulled out the sword beside the bed.
The sword is cold, and even in this room where you can't see your fingers, you can feel the murderous aura that can be smelled and invisible.
As a county guard, the parent official of the people, he is the core center of the entire Hulan County, whoever wants to be unfavorable to the imperial court, the first thing to target must be him Pu Dingbo!
In the years when he was a parent official at the border pass, he was assassinated by gangsters a lot of times, and in more than ten years, he had already polished a weak scholar from Liangzhou into an iron-blooded county guard who could write and martial arts, and he slapped the table and glared at the man who dared to be as powerful as Yan Keni, a grizzly bear, and knew that this person's ability and courage were not small.
The reckless man who broke in was also frightened when he heard the sound of the sword being unsheathed, and quickly fell to his knees with a "plop" and then shouted: "My lord!
Pu Dingbo, who had just come back from his sleep, sat on the edge of the bed and woke up for three breaths, and then finally remembered who it was, but Rao was like this, and the sword in his hand was not put down immediately, but asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong?"
It's so late, and he suddenly slammed the door and broke in without saying hello, it must be the top priority, especially since this is a border city, once something happens, he Pu Dingbo can't afford to take the blame, as soon as he thinks of this, he quickly got up and went down to the ground and stood up barefoot.
Only then did the subordinate on the other side shout with a hint of panic: "My lord!
"What?"
Pu Dingbo suddenly heard this, his eyes widened and he shouted, and then a strong feeling of dizziness came.
Kanmeng'an is divided into two parts, the urn city and the main city, when the Yanzhou defense line was built, it was really the only trace of national strength that had been hollowed out of Daliang, which had been fighting for many years, otherwise it should have built three lines of defense.
This also led to the fact that the urn city was completely connected to the main city, and once the urn city was broken, the main city of Kanmengan was the next to suffer.
Once Kanmeng'an suddenly loses, the road behind is simply a flat river, there is no natural danger to rely on, and there is no defense line to defend, the entire Hulan County will probably fall into the hands of the enemy in just one day, and at that time, he Pu Dingbo is really a sinner of Da Liang!
Pu Dingbo held the sword in his hand, endured his dizziness, stumbled to the door, and could barely stand by holding on to the door frame, he raised his eyes and looked into the distance, only it was pitch black, but he couldn't see anything, only the sound of shouting and killing in the distance could be faintly heard.
Pu Dingbo clutched his chest, his face was painful and remorseful, but at the same time, there was a hint of sluggishness that he still didn't believe and the hope of a last possible thing.
He just muttered, "How can it be so fast? Am I still in a dream?"
---------------------------------
As the outer city of Kanmengan, the first line of defense of the urn city, at this moment the city gate is wide open, after a tragic attack, the overall situation has been decided at this moment, and the sound of fighting here has gradually stopped.
The gate of the city was broken, and there was no danger to defend, and the remaining soldiers of the Xiong Zhen army had retreated to the main city under the leadership of the pigtailed lieutenant general who had been working under Wanyan Keni.
After all, Wanyan Keni is a one-person promotion, and there are not many subordinates who can take away, and he has been in Kanmengan for so many years, and his soldiers know Cammengan best, and he is not at ease when he changes an outsider and brings a group of new people to guard here, so he deliberately left most of the troops here, and one of his most trusted lieutenants was left behind to guard here instead of him.
But he never thought that less than a month after he left here, the urn city had already been broken, and looking at this posture, the enemy was prepared, but I was afraid that Kanmengan would not be able to hold it for too long.
As for the newly transferred general, he has now become a headless corpse.
A man dressed in a tight black night suit knelt respectfully in front of his horse with a tray in his hand, and on the tray was the head of the new general soldier.
The head on the tray had his eyes slightly closed, and his face did not look painful, apparently either he had been smoked in advance, or he had been killed in a dream.
Right in front of him, a big flag with black letters on a gold background fluttered in the wind, and the fire of the tent was lit by someone accidentally knocking over the lamp and candle everywhere, and a calm and thick font was clearly visible on it, such as the word "Xie" in the mountains and rivers!
In order to take Kanmeng'an steadily, this time it was Xie Houyin who personally led the army to attack.
This rising star in the Patriotic Army, who has been heavily valued by Duanmu Shuo, can only be regarded as the first battle in his life today, which was completely commanded by him personally, and the previous attack on Gu Xuan was mainly led by Wei Chidun, who was above the top, and the comparison between the two was completely incomparable.
Xie Houyin held a spear upside down in his hand, and stood on a horse with the reins in his hand, even if he was young, he already had the style of a general.
Although the enemy army was defeated, there was no trace of satisfaction.
The man below shouted in a hoarse voice: "The head of the enemy army is here, please take a look!"
This time for the initiative of Liangguo, there were a total of three people on the side of Weiguo, one for Xie Houyin to personally lead the team, one for Wei Chidun and Wei Ping, who had just rushed back from the capital, for the leader, and the last way was led by Hu Yanshi, the general of the former Qilian Army, and then Wu Heng sat in the Chinese army, together with Duanmu Shuofeng, as a commander to respond to all parties.
In the first battle of his life, in the face of the behemoth of Liangguo, in order to quickly capture the border town of Kanmeng'an for the coach, Xie Houyin gave full play to his steady style.
After Duanmu Shuofeng successfully ascended the throne in the capital, according to the rules, as the sharp knife in the secret of the country, the mayfly has been completely used by him, and this time naturally under Duanmu Shuofeng's order, most of the killers in the department were sent to move with the army, and the scouts in the army cooperated with each other and acted together.
The night covered the stars, the celestial phenomena helped, the mayfly sneaked in as an assassin first, a small group of troops abandoned their horses and walked, taking advantage of the night to touch the edge of the city, just on the edge of the other party's visible range, the soldiers on the city tower could not see clearly even if their eyes widened, waiting for the mole who had already been ambushed to move, and secretly opened the city gate in the middle of the night, and the small force took the opportunity to rush in, not to destroy the enemy, but to hold the city gate, so that the large force behind could quickly enter, and then there was a one-sided massacre that was seen now.
Even if the deputy who had been left behind in advance reacted and began to send the sergeants to resist, trying to force the enemy out and reseal the city gates, it would have been too late.
The lights in the night were deliberately extinguished, the enemy didn't know how many came, the main general died suddenly, plus the assassins coldly and secretly grabbed the assassination of the lonely, it was originally a fusion of the two parties, and the military spirit that had not yet been completely stabilized had already dispersed, and in desperation, he had to pack up the original remnants and retreat to the south wall of the urn city, which was actually the north wall of the main city to make the last resistance.
Xie Houyin didn't look at the head on the tray underneath, only pointed at the spear in his hand, and said coldly: "Attack." ”
The man in the rear, who was the herald, wanted to use sign language, but when he saw that it was pitch black, he hurriedly shouted loudly to the rear: "Attack!"
When the flag swayed, a large number of soldiers poured in directly and began to charge towards the last layer of defense.
