Chapter 147: Calling the Formation
Shao Shan paused suddenly, looked at Sun Kang with bright eyes, and asked, "So, now Tuoba Hao is among the Northern Yan army outside the city?" ”
"Yes, my lord, Tuoba Hao is the general of the unified army this time!" Although Sun Kang was puzzled by Shao Shan's performance, he still answered truthfully.
Tuoba Hao is the general of the Northern Yan, and he is the beloved son-in-law of the Emperor of the Northern Yan, and his status in the Northern Yan Dynasty is extraordinary, and his identity and status are similar to Xie Yu, the Marquis of Ningguo of the Great Liang, but Tuoba Hao's family is the Northern Yan family, and he has a pivotal position in the Northern Yan country, coupled with his own reputation, so his status is more and more prominent.
Although Tuoba Hao commanded the army, under normal circumstances, he would not be in the battle formation, let alone a small battle such as border attack and defense, unless Beiyan was ambitious and wanted to have a big battle with Daliang.
"Maybe this is a crucial temptation!" Shao Shan frowned and said.
"Temptation?" Sun Kang repeated with some confusion and looked at Shao Shan with some suspicion.
In fact, in the entire northern Shangyang army, there is no good impression of the inspection envoys sent by the emperor, in their impression, these envoys don't have much ability, but they always like to point fingers at everyone.
But everyone can't offend him, otherwise, after the envoy returns to Beijing, just say a few bad words casually, which is enough for the generals in the army to drink a pot, which is also the reason why Sun Kang has always been respectful to Shao Shan, at least to achieve respect on the surface.
At this time, the group had arrived at the door of Qi Commander's mansion, Sun Kang commanded his subordinates to take many forbidden soldiers to settle down, and then accompanied Shao Shan directly to the back hall, now Qi Commander Shuai is too seriously injured and has been receiving treatment in the back hall.
Due to the critical situation of the battle at this time, all the generals of the Shangyang Army performed their duties and stuck to the front line of the battle formation, in case there was any chaos, and the entire Governor's Mansion was taken care of by Sun Kang, the deputy general.
In a spacious room in the back hall, a middle-aged man with a thin face was lying on the bed, Shao Shan had just entered the room, and he smelled a strong smell of medicinal herbs, and an old doctor was always guarding him.
"How is Commander Qi's injuries?" Shao Shan glanced at Qi Commander Shuai on the bed and asked the doctor next to him.
Shao Shan himself also has some attainments in medicine, just glanced at Qi Dushuai, he knew that his situation at this time was not optimistic, I saw that his face was as pale as paper, his breathing was low, he was weak and could not smell, and the whole person was completely in a coma, at this time he asked the doctor just to confirm.
"Please forgive me for being old and incompetent, the situation of Commander Qi is really not optimistic, he has been in a coma since he was injured, as for whether he can survive it, it depends on Commander Qi's own creation!" The doctor said tremblingly, he knew that if Commander Qi really had an accident, he was afraid that his own good days would come to an end.
"Take good care of Commander Qi!" Shao Shan reminded him and walked directly outside, and Sun Kang hurriedly followed.
"My lord, the situation is urgent now, I'm afraid that the adult's reception banquet will not be completed!" Sun Kang looked at Shao Shan's face as he spoke, for fear that this adult would be dissatisfied and make trouble at a critical time.
Shao Shan stopped, turned to look at Sun Kang, and admonished solemnly: "The general is not here to eat, drink and have fun, so don't take out those messy things, now that the military situation is urgent, solving the danger of Tanzhou first is the first priority, does General Sun know?" ”
"The last general understands!" Sun Kang hurriedly replied in a loud voice, secretly thinking in his heart that it seemed that this envoy was a little different.
Seeing Shao Shan walking out again, Sun Kang hurriedly asked, "My lord, where are we going now?" ”
"Naturally, I went to the north wall and saw how it was now!" Shao Shan said as a matter of course.
"My lord, it's too dangerous there, just leave it to the last general and others, don't risk yourself!" Sun Kang said hesitantly.
Shao Shan immediately understood, although the general of the Shangyang army knew that he was going to inspect the northern territory on behalf of Emperor Liang, but he didn't know much about his situation, and maybe he regarded him as an embroidered pillow-like figure, and coming here to inspect was just gilded.
"You don't have to worry about my safety!" Shao Shan replied lightly, and didn't explain too much, after all, seeing is believing, and no matter how much you say now, it's nonsense.
Zhao Hai settled down the forbidden army, I don't know when he came over, he happened to hear the conversation between the two, and said to Sun Kang with honor: "Lord Sun, don't worry, our lord is a master, and he can be ranked among the masters of the Langya list!" ”
"Ugh!" Sun Kang paused, and looked at Zhao Hai, wanting to determine if he was joking.
Sun Kang has naturally heard of the masters of the Langya list, because Tuoba Hao, the opponent of Tanzhou this time, is the figure on the Langya master list, and he has seen Tuoba Hao's bravery on the battlefield, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is unstoppable.
Now Zhao Hai told him that Shao Shan was also a master at the Langya list, which really made him a little unbelievable.
Looking at Sun Kang's appearance, Zhao Hai shook his head and chuckled, without explaining much, and went directly to the north of the city with Shao Shan, Sun Kang reacted and hurriedly followed.
The closer to the north gate, the more obvious the solemn atmosphere became, and groups of soldiers were constantly shuttling back and forth in the vicinity, all of them with a solemn aura on their faces, so that those who walked into this area were unconsciously infected.
On the city wall, groups of soldiers were waiting for each other, spearmen and crossbowmen had a clear division of labor, and the generals of the army were also patrolling back and forth, always paying attention to the movements of the Northern Yan army outside the city.
With Sun Kang accompanying them, Shao Shan and the three of them went all the way to the city wall, and as soon as Shao Shan wanted to climb the city wall, he heard an arrogant cry from outside the city: "The turtle with the shrinking head of the beam, dare to go out of the city to fight!" ”
"The shrunken turtle of the beam, dare to go out of the city to fight!"
The shouting voice was high-pitched and loud, spreading throughout the entire northern city wall, and many generals naturally heard it clearly, and everyone was very aggrieved, and their faces were full of anger.
Daliang and Beiyan have been fighting for so many years, and it is the first time that Shangyangjun has been forced to this point.
"Hmph, arrogant enough!" Shao Shan snorted coldly and quickly climbed the city wall.
"General Sun!" The soldiers on the city wall didn't know Shao Shan and Zhao Hai, but they knew Sun Kang, and when they saw Sun Kang climbing the city wall, they saluted again and again.
Standing on the top of the wall, Shao Shan raised his eyes and looked out of the city, only to see that seven or eight miles away, the Northern Yan army had already set up a big tent, in which the soldiers were constantly patrolling back and forth, according to the scale, the Northern Yan army that attacked this time was about more than 30,000 people.
Outside the city of Tanzhou, there was about a thousand-strong team of the Northern Yan Army stationed not far away, just outside the range of bows and arrows, and a rude man was riding a horse and wandering in front of him, shouting at the sergeants in Tanzhou City from time to time.
