Chapter Ninety-Nine: Attack (II)
Far away, Ji Kang's frenzy was still immersed in the implementation of the New Deal, he had observed the emperor's policy of benefiting the people in the north, and planned to follow Ji Kang's example, not knowing that the danger was approaching.
Not to mention the madness in the imperial city, even the troops deployed on the border are in a comfortable and loose state, and they don't know that the army of the enemy country is approaching.
On this day, as usual, they gathered the soldiers to train on the school field, and they didn't know which nerve was wrong with the head of the school, so they suddenly became angry, feeling that this was not like an army at all, and gave an order, telling all the people to run along the Su River, and when he stopped, these people could stop.
Regardless of what everyone said, "This place doesn't even come back to the birds, what are you afraid of", he took 10,000 garrisons to the Suhe River to run with a load.
When the spring sun rose, the clouds and mist on the river were gradually removed, and a few thorny soldiers deliberately ran very slowly, pulling the team apart, chatting all over the world, cursing a few dirty words from time to time, and deliberately making vulgar jokes with the head of the sect far ahead, which made the soldiers behind laugh.
The soldier who had dreamed of joining the army felt very disgusted and uncomfortable in this group of people, and he wanted to "be out of sight and out of mind" at the beginning, but who knew that this deviation suddenly saw that there seemed to be a continuous mountain on the river, he hurriedly rubbed his eyes and fixed his eyes -
"!
The who heard the voice glanced at him and recognized him as the wooden fish head who often argued with them, and one of them sneered, "What a warship! You want to make a meritorious contribution and want to go crazy, right? ”
"Too lazy to talk nonsense with you!" the man rolled his eyes and called out a report eagerly.
The centurion glanced back at him, obviously not waiting to see him, and said coldly: "What are you going to do, solve the internal contradictions by yourself, don't keep looking for you to solve them, are you still a soldier!"
Seeing that the centurion ignored him, the thorns laughed, "Well, go home and farm." ”
They laughed and shook their heads and joked with each other, and they were all dumbfounded when they faced Su He.
I saw that there was a behemoth in the undispersed clouds and mist on the river surface, and it was attacking the river at a speed visible to the naked eye, and as the sunlight poured in, the appearance of the warship gradually became clear, and the "north" flag planted on the bow of the ship flashed dazzlingly in the air.
"Damn!
"Enemy Attack !!!"
The voices of the thorn-headed soldiers attracted the attention of the soldiers, and when they looked at them, they only heard the sound of weapons falling to the ground, and some of them trembled and murmured: "There are people from the north of Xinjiang...... The devil is coming......"
"Run! Enemy attack in the north of Xinjiang!"
The army of 10,000 people was in chaos in an instant, and the head of the sect looked at the soldiers running around like headless flies, and he was even more angry in fear, and before the enemy arrived, the whole army was in disarray, such an army - why not lose!
"Assemble! assemble!" roared the head of the sect, but in the midst of the screams, his voice was like a feeble moan, muffled by the waves, and he was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick.
"Are you still soldiers, is that why the state raised you to let you run away like this?" shouted the head of the sect.
Someone heard it and looked back at him, "That's Jiangbei! They are not people! Are you telling us to die?"
The head of the sect had a heartache that could drip blood, and he who had participated in the final battle did not flinch because of fear, this group of people ......
He angrily called those who followed him to quickly hold weapons to stop the fleeing soldiers, and only then did he ease up a little, and he stood on the high platform with great strength and shouted, "Stop me!"
The sound from above seemed to work, and everyone looked up at him.
The solemn and angry eyes on his face swept over the faces of the soldiers, and without saying a word, he began to untie his clothes, revealing hideous scars, the most terrifying of which was from his neck to his waist, and there were many burn marks on the flesh, which were shocking
Shocking.
It's still a positive wound!
"Lao Tzu joined the army at the age of sixteen, and he is fifty-eight years old this year, and he has participated in hundreds of battles and battles, and he has never escaped! These wounds were all left by the war, and Lao Tzu has not shed a single tear for this! Many of you noticed that I was not changing my clothes in front of people, and said that I did not plant! I said that I was a mother! I don't bother to explain to you! Because real warriors and real men speak under the knife!!"
"You didn't plant!!" the head of the sect shouted angrily, and the whole army was furious.
What man doesn't want to do something earth-shattering, and what soldier doesn't want to become famous in a war?
"You're farting!" someone picked up the weapon and scolded, spat and came behind the head of the sect, "Lao Tzu didn't run!"
"You didn't plant it. ”
Everyone picked up their weapons and stood in the line.
However, there are still some people who are really afraid, looking at the soldiers who have returned to the team, and they are embarrassed and do not know where to go. They were not afraid of military law when so many people fled just now, but now they are the only ones left......
"Go pack up and go home. The head of the sect calmly put on his clothes and said: "Those who don't have the guts will only die in vain when they go to the battlefield, and it will drag down the whole army, get out of the way as soon as possible = eggs!"
The deserters were relieved and about to leave, but they heard the head of the sect say again: "When the army in front is sacrificed and the people in the north of Xinjiang go to the homes of the people in the rear, I hope that your homes are all in the southernmost part, maybe they will turn around and go back when they are tired, and they will not kill you and your families." ”
The voice was flat, but the deserters could no longer run, their legs were as heavy as lead, and they picked up their weapons and returned to the team in despair.
"Now!" shouted the head of the sect, "the whole army is dressed in armor!
The soldiers were surprised for a moment, thinking about how not to fight directly on the river, but then they thought of the perverted warships of the northerners and the strange princes, and they all shuddered, or the road defense would have a little advantage.
The head of the sect asked the soldiers to bring messages to other garrisons to report, and specially asked five people to send messages to the imperial city from different paths, and the entire Jikang border exploded for a while.
When the northern army arrived on the bank of the Su River, all the garrisons had already set up an ambush and waited for the northern ** team to attack the city.
They had never fought with the northerners on land, because every time they invaded the north, and the northerners fought on the surface of the water was particularly powerful, they had never won, and they had never crossed the river line a hundred meters away from the border of the north, so it can be said that they had never seen the northern.
But they have been fighting on land all year round, so they still have some confidence to deal with it.
However, the North ** team didn't seem to have any intention of getting off the warship, Ji Kang's army waited for a day, and when they arrived, the warships were still honestly parked on the Su River, and they couldn't help but be angry.
"What the hell!"
"Maybe it's a break?"
"Hugh his mother! If you don't fight, you won't fight, what's the matter with scaring people!"
Some of the soldiers couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep with their spears in their arms.
And what are the Northlanders doing?
In fact, they were also very confused, and an order was passed from above, saying that they should eat, sleep, and sleep without psychological burden.
The soldiers were all lying together, and for the first time in the war of aggression, everyone was very excited, and said to let them sleep, but none of them could sleep.
"Do you really want to hit someone?"
"Yes, people didn't provoke us, although Ji Kang was very annoying and harassed. ”
"Emperor, what's wrong. ”
"Alas, it may be due to the big weather, and if you can't clean up the big day, you will beat Ji Kang in turn and kill the chicken to show the monkey. ”
"You have a point
, but didn't the Great Heaven send the prime minister to lobby?"
"It's not the prime minister!
"Why are you disrespectful to the prime minister, you even call the prime minister by his name. Some of the soldiers in the countryside sat up blankly and asked.
"Hey, you villagers. ”
"Okay, don't talk about it, tomorrow we may have the first round of attacks. ”
"We have never fought a siege battle, and those Ji Kang thieves are hiding in the shell and can't come out, is there any chance of victory?"
"I don't know, whatever, let's do whatever the boss says. Anyway, you can't lose the face of the northern country. ”
"That's right. Alas, I'm still planning to get married at the beginning of next month, and I don't know if I can rush back. ”
"Don't say it, annoying!
The whole army was silent for a while, no one dared to answer this sentence, but they all silently agreed in their hearts.
They are a peace-loving people, so why should they be killed.
They are often coveted and attacked by foreign countries, suffering from wars, and they know that they should not do to others what they do not want, why did the emperor take the initiative this time?
There was no word all night, and at the darkest moment before dawn, the northern ** team summoned the whole army to assemble secretly, and the defenders at the head of Ji Kang City yawned and fell asleep.
"Are you sure? This attack is not going back to the North. The main general Chang Ping asked Yang Zihang, the historian from the Northern Forbidden City, and Shi Jian'an, the envoy who supervised Ji Kang's defense.
Shi Jian'an was a little embarrassed and looked at Yang Zihang.
Yang Zihang sighed, "Alas, the emperor gave a death order, saying that he must fight." The Northland is destined to have this stain. ”
"What the hell is the emperor thinking? Chang Ping also sighed.
Shi Jian'an seemed to know some of the inside story, and sighed, "The emperor is also very helpless." Afraid that the two of them would question him more, he added: "Who let Ji Kang have nothing to do and harass us, in case the negotiation with Datian fails, the emperor doesn't want Ji Kang to come out and make trouble when dealing with Datian." ”
"But I've always had something to dislike about this aggression. Chang Ping sighed helplessly, and knew that Shi Jian'an was right.
"Hurry up, if you want to fight, attack quickly, otherwise there will be many variables when it dawns. Yang Zihang twisted his brows and clutched his pen.
How he didn't want to record such a disgraceful history in the history of the northern kingdom.
But as a historian, he must be worthy of history!
"Okay. Chang Ping picked up the military seal and stood up.
"Wait. Shi Jian'an clapped his hands.
He looked at Shi Jian'an stunned, "What's wrong?"
"I went to the capital the day before yesterday to spread the book, the emperor's reply should be almost there, and it will not be too late to call when I receive the letter. ”
"But it's hard to miss this opportunity and then attack. Although he didn't want to fight, if he had to fight, he would be the master of the battle and minimize the casualties and raise the winning rate to the maximum.
"Yes, Brother Jian'an, the emperor will not change his attention, war is not child's play. Yang Zihang also echoed with a contemplative expression.
Shi Jian'an shook his head, "Perhaps, the emperor is the same as us, no one wants to fight this battle......" He felt that his defense was too pale, and couldn't help adding: "If the negotiation is made over there on the big day, maybe the emperor will change his mind." Just wait another day, okay, just one day!"
Chang Ping and Yang Zihang glanced at each other, Yang Zihang quickly lowered his head, of course he could drag it out, his task is only to record historical facts, and leave the decision to the general!
Chang Ping pondered for a moment and smacked his lips, Shi Jian'an hurriedly looked at him expectantly, he exhaled helplessly, "Just one day, no more." ”
