Chapter 18: Inside and Out of the Tu Fort (1)

Yun Tianjia stood on his heels and looked outside the fort, only to see nearly a thousand tigers, leopards, lions, and wolves under the leadership of two giant white elephants and six wrinkled rhinoceros, surging forward, and the enemy army under the city retreated in two directions like a tide on the left and right, making way for the way.

Two white elephants jumped over the trench with ease, and with two loud toms, they slammed into the wall, stirring up a large field of mud and rock.

Six rhinos followed, also ramming at the gate.

The rest of the soul beasts followed suit.

These soul beasts have two or three orders, and some are five or six orders. Some are controlled by the Beast Tamer, and some are summoned by the Summoner.

For a moment, mud and debris were splashed and the fence shook.

Yun Tianjia said worriedly: "The soul beast is fierce, can this earth fort withstand it?"

The big man who threw the rope smiled: "Don't worry, this earthen fort is very solid. He stretched out his hand and beckoned, and shouted, "Old horse, old horse, come here and tell Lord Yun about the earthen fort." ”

Yun Tianjia was going to come to receive the matter of surrendering the army, and this big man had already received the news more than ten days ago.

He had watched the fierce battle just now on the city wall, and had already guessed Yun Tianjia's identity, so he called him "Lord Yun" as soon as he came up.

A round, chubby middle-aged man came over with great effort when he heard the words, his satin clothes were shining, his fat body trembled, his eyes were squeezed into a slit with a smile, and he bowed his head and said, "Xiaomin Ma Zhenyang, I've seen adults." My lord, if you have anything to do, just give me orders! Xiaomin will definitely answer all your questions and be on call!"

Yun Tianjia nodded and said, "Mr. Ma doesn't have to be polite. He ...... just now."

The big man who threw the rope interjected: "The next official is Ji Wenyuan, the head of the soldiers of Hanyuan County. ”

"Just now Master Ji told me about the earthen fort wall, I don't know what to pay attention to?"

Ma Zhenyang said: "My lord, in fact, I don't pay attention to it, it's just a little stronger." This wall is five meters thick, the whole body is rammed with good glutinous rice and red clay, and there is an iron pile in the middle, more than eight meters deep into the ground, all the city walls are connected into a whole, like a whole rock, and it is very tough, no matter how strong its soul beast is, it will not be broken by hard collision. ”

Yun Tianjia frowned slightly, and thought to himself: "This horseman is a civilian, and he has spent all his mental and financial resources to build such a strong earthen fort, I don't know what his intentions are? It is impossible to have predicted such a catastrophe today a few years ago, right?"

At the moment, it was inconvenient to delve into it, and said: "Master Ji, everything in the world is intertwined, although our city is strong, but we should not be careless. ”

Ji Wenyuan said: "Don't worry, your lordship, the lower officials are ready!"

With a gesture of stretching out their hands, two teams of soldiers carried dozens of barrels of fire oil to the wall, and some people carried hundreds of bundles of wood, firewood and grass, and threw them all down the wall with an order.

The spark exploded violently, the fire under the wall was raging, connected into a piece, the black smoke rolled up, and the white elephant and rhinoceros, which were still fierce before, retreated back in a panic.

Some of the soul beasts were stained with fire oil and rolled on the ground, and the clever ones plunged headlong into the water, doused the flames, and then climbed ashore in disarray, away from the city walls.

Yun Tianjia looked up at the sky and said, "Fortunately, they only have beasts and no birds, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with." ”

Ji Wenyuan said solemnly: "Lord Yun is very worried. There is also a forbidden formation in the earth fort, but the power is very small and it is not very useful. ”

Yun Tianjia said: "Do you know my name?"

"How many people in the world don't know the name of Lord Yun? Although Xia Guan lives in a remote area, he often pays attention to the news in the imperial city. Throughout the ages, there has only been one five-star divine arithmetic, Master Yun!"

Ji Wenyuan finished patting the sycophants, and said: "Half a month ago, the yamen received a notice from Lord Yun that he personally came to Hanyuan County to reorganize and surrender the army. ”

Yun Tianjia is a human being in two lives, and both have a high political identity, but he is still a scholar in his bones, and he is not used to the officialdom to meet that set, he saw that Ji Wenyuan is thick on the outside and fine on the inside, and he has a good impression, smiled, and said: "Lord Ji, although my military rank is higher than yours, but you are the army of the government, I am the other department of the Shield King's Mansion, and they are not subordinate to each other. ”

Ji Wenyuan has been in the lower position for a long time, and he has some ability to observe words and colors, knowing that Yun Tianjia doesn't like to listen to compliments, his old face is hot, and he sneered: "Yes, yes." The words of the adults, the lower officials should remember. ”

Accompanied by Ji Wenyuan and Ma Zhenyang, Yun Tianjia and Gong Luoluo walked roughly along the wall, inspected the defense of the earthen fort, and found that a lot of sulfur, quicklime, realgar, and black dog blood were piled up everywhere on the wall, and the air was full of red lines, and the corners were pressed with purple talismans.

I secretly remembered it in my heart at the moment, and I didn't ask too much.

There are more than 500 elite soldiers of the government army in the earthen fort, including 150 pikemen, more than 160 sword and shield men, more than 80 hook and sickle hands, and more than 100 archers.

In addition, there are more than 90 musketeers, more than 80 crossbowmen, more than 10 gunners, and more than a dozen strongmen armed with only one machete.

In addition to the regular government army, there were more than 900 miscellaneous soldiers in tattered clothes and even worse equipment, all of whom were below the seventeenth level soul warrior.

These people are also the objects of Yun Tianjia's thousands of miles to reorganize, that is, the surrender army that He Xiaoduo said. They initially numbered more than 2,000 people, and in just a few days, more than half of them were killed.

In fact, among this batch of surrendered troops, there were originally one hundred and ten cultivators who were not weak, but they were all picked out by Ji Wenyuan and incorporated into the government army directly under his own jurisdiction.

After Yun Tianjia came, Ji Wenyuan was already determined to return those people, and even paste some upside down, otherwise if Yun Tianjia really recruited such a group of Huazi soldiers, it would inevitably seem that he was too ugly.

There are more than 800 young and brave people in the earthen fort, more than 1,300 old and weak women and children, all of whom hid in after the city was broken, and most of them did not awaken the martial spirit, so they could only move things and fight, and there was no combat effectiveness.

Yun Tianjia roughly understood the situation, and was worried about the injuries of Luo Erniang and the others, and said: "Lord Ji, the beast soldiers have retreated, and the enemy will definitely not attack in a short time. I'll go see my companion first, and then I'll talk. ”

Ji Wenyuan said: "It should be so! Xia Guan sent the adult over first." Sun Mengxuan, the head of the judiciary, and Li Siyun, the head of Fuhuo Dao, are in charge of the middle tower, and I have to go to them to discuss the matter of picking up the wind for the adults and their party. ”

Yun Tianjia and Gong Luoluo followed Ji Wenyuan and Ma Zhenyang down the wall of the earthen fort, passed through the listless crowd of refugees, and came to a building in the south.

Ma Zhenyang stayed behind to accompany Yun Tianjia, and Ji Wenyuan went to do other things first.
