Chapter 223: Striking the West

The stars and moon were dim, and torches were floating in the north of the city.

Because the city is dilapidated, the city wall does not exist, and there are homeless people living together, and only stopped for one day, the Huating Liu clan did not enter the city, but camped outside the north of the city.

Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: the flat land is easy, and the right back is high, and the former dies and the latter lives.

Beigong is well versed in the essentials of marching, the camp is stationed on a "D" shaped slope, the right and the rear are slightly higher, the whole army grain and grass are located in the right rear, and the camp gate is facing the low subduction area.

When the enemy attacks the camp, you can quickly send troops from the right to outflank and intercept the enemy's rear road, and the front can resist the enemy's strong attack. The high place in the rear is the place where the pot is buried, which is closer to the water source, and when facing the offensive and defensive positions, it can be controlled as appropriate, and the advance and retreat are well-founded.

Even if it was only stationed for a day, the small barracks were surrounded by two rows of fences, one high and one low. The tall one's head burns sharply and stretches outwards obliquely, resisting the horse and resisting the enemy's impact. The low and the high are five steps apart, and the middle can be interspersed back and forth, calmly deploying troops.

The simple lookout tower, towering at the gate of the camp, is divided into one left and one right, and ten white-robed archers are on duty in rotation all night.

There are more than 500 people in the whole army, ten people are a team, and five teams are a song, based on toilets, gathered into a camp, bows and arrows are hung on the wall, sleeping pillows and waist knives, and they will be encamped in various tents at night to stop the noise and flow.

A white robe, on duty and patrolling the night.

The Chinese military account, located in the "D" shape front, right, back, connected, in the event of an enemy attack, the commander can quickly control the military situation, can advance, can retreat.

At this moment, on the grass on the left oblique side of the camp gate, there are several corpses lying horizontally and vertically, all of them ragged homeless people.

Liu Nong had a calm face and asked, "Why?" ”

Beigong said in a deep voice: "The bandits stormed the barracks, intending to take away the food, but the arrows did not retreat, so they killed them!" ”

"Want to take the grain and grass?" Yuan Tan frowned, looked at the dark wilderness, and when he saw that the wind was blowing and the grass was low, and there was no difference, he relieved his heart and said strangely: "The homeless people have always been safe, how can they risk death to take the grain, and the grain and grass can be lost?" ”

Guo Pu sneered: "But dozens of people, shot a few people, and have already retreated." ”

Liu Nong looked at the corpses lying in wait under the dim torches, and frowned, "Why don't you restrain the corpses?" As he spoke, he looked at Guo Pu.

Exposing corpses in the camp is a taboo for soldiers, although this move has the effect of deterring the enemy, it will also cause panic among the soldiers. Beigong has a serious temperament, is good at using troops, and pays attention to details, how could he make such an obvious mistake, it must be Guo Pu's idea.

Sure enough, Guo Pu said: "Hengchen is here, but the police can follow suit!" ”

"Yes!" Beigong pressed the knife, looked at Yuan Tan, looked hesitant, and when he saw Liu Nong nodding silently, he said coldly: "Xiao Langjun, although our troops are practiced all year round, and there are many old soldiers who have seen blood, however, after all, the north and the south are very different, and it is almost thousands of miles to go to Shangcai, so we can take this opportunity to train our soldiers and refine our courage!" In order not to use the soldiers, it will not be enough to become a weapon! ”

Guo Pu said: "Besides, we will only stay for one day. ”

Beigong licked his lips and hummed: "The Tang leader has already explored, there are only 3,000 displaced people in Liyang County, and if there is a riot, it will be a bandit......

"Let's stop quickly reining in the corpse!"

Liu Nong waved his hand to cut off Beigong's words, his face was cold, and he was angry in his heart: "Most of them are Guo Pu's idea again, even if you want to train the army, how can you be an enemy of the displaced people!" Acting like this, how can Jiaoyan be embarrassed? ’

"No!" Beigong responded in a deep voice, and immediately ordered the white robe to collect the corpse at night, but Guo Pu carried three strands of black whiskers to the tent.

Liu Nong didn't bother to pay attention to him, and would talk to him in detail in the future, and when he came to the barracks, he invited Yuan Tan to sit in the Chinese military tent.

The two walked through the barracks, Yuan Tan looked as he walked, but saw that the camp tent was set up extremely cautiously, not to mention the distance between the tent and the tent, or the direction of the door, or the distribution of the marching toilets, all of which were dotted and orderly.

couldn't help but sigh softly: "Zhan Zhen, under the account of the king, there are people!" ”

In the walking barracks, he didn't dare to speak loudly, Liu Nong whispered: "Ling Yandao smiled." ”

The two of them came to the middle military tent, ten steps long, five steps wide, covered with tough and wear-resistant green reed mats, the low case was placed in the middle and back position, the cloth was neatly stacked behind the case, and the wooden man was erected on the left, wearing black ink armor.

Hongxiao carried a wooden plate and lifted the curtain to enter. He put the teapot on the plate on the table, poured one for the two of them, and retreated silently.

Liu Nong raised his glass to invite a drink, and said apologetically: "What happened tonight is really Liu Nong's fault, and Shang Wangyan will forgive me." ”

Yuan Tan saw that Liu Nong's face was still cold, and his expression was slightly embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "Zhan Zhen, some small things, why worry about it, just lose the grain and grass!" As he spoke, his brows furrowed, and he muttered: "The behavior of the homeless people is quite strange, there are less than 3,000 homeless people in the city now, and the rest have all entered the dock forts. Besides, Liyang has two thousand of my Yuan clan and five hundred county servants......"

"Xiao Langjun, the bandits are encamped!" At this moment, Tang Lixiao's voice came from outside the tent.

"Bandit siege?!"

Yuan Tan and Liu Nong glanced at each other, and the two got up "suddenly", Liu Nong grabbed Chu Yan behind him and strode out of the curtain.

The curtain was windy, and the lights shook for a while.

The night wind rose suddenly, accompanied by the sound of horns, whining, Beigong stood on a high place and gave orders loudly, and the snow-white cloak was torn by the wind like a flag. Bundles of torches were lit in all directions of the barracks, and a group of white robes with cold faces, under the leadership of the curly leader, quickly lined up in the barracks, in front, on the left, and on the right.

Catch a bow and arrows, and a long knife is like a forest.

Outside the barracks, in the faint moonlight, there was a hissing and grinding sound in the foot-high grass.

As it approached, it intensified, as if countless poisonous snakes were approaching the barracks step by step. Looking at the light against the torch, the black pressure is boundless. If the wall enters, the shape moves slowly, but it is like a torrent, and it only takes a little spark to ignite the explosion in an instant.

"Not just three thousand?!"

Liu Nong stood on the high platform at Yingkou, his sword eyebrows furrowed.

Once the number of people exceeds 1,000, it is difficult to argue at a glance, but it can cover all the fields of vision in front of you, at least more than 5,000.

Three hundred steps!

"Control!" Beigong roared.

"Control !!" Five hundred white-robed robes roared in unison, raising bows and shaking arrows, and the uniform roar suddenly broke through the night sky, shaking people's ears and numbness, and unsteady feet, but at the same time stirring up the blood in the white robe's chest.

Two hundred and fifty steps!

"Wind!" Beigong took a step forward and roared loudly.

"Strings!" The white robes stepped on their left feet, drew arrows, and took bows.

Two hundred steps, downwind, condescending!

"Lead!" At the same time pull the bow, grit your teeth and buckle the strings, ready to bend over, and throw.

"Stop!" At this moment, in the vast sea of displaced people, someone raised his arms and shouted, thousands of displaced people were all in unison, and without taking half a step forward, their faces flashed in the night, and they couldn't distinguish their demeanor, like a scarecrow in the wind.

"Hmm...... Unexpectedly, not forward! ”

Laifu frowned, pointed to the person's hiding place, and said coldly: "Xiao Langjun, this matter is different, but the number of bandits is too large, Xiao Langjun should stay away for the time being." There are me and the North Palace here, and we will definitely be able to protect the grain and grass. ”

Beigong pressed the knife on his waist, and sneered: "Xiao Langjun is relieved, this is a rabble, Beigong should consider the situation, run to take the leader of the bandits, or he can be destroyed in one go!" Leader Tang, quickly protect Xiaolangjun for the time being! ”

Tang Lixiao led the thirty sword guards to stand under the high platform, and immediately said, "Please, Xiao Langjun take refuge for the time being." ”

"You wait and deploy the army, why do you need to care about me!" Liu Nong's face was cold, the tribe and the grain and grass were all here, as the head of the family, how could he abandon it and run away, when he said to Yuan Tan: "Yan Dao, and retreat to the city quickly!" ”

Yuan Tan was shocked and muttered: "Among them, there must be people who build walls in the city. At this point, after a pause, facing Liu Nong, he shouted: "Zhan Zhen Xiu has to covet Yuan Tan, Xun Jubo visits friends to explore diseases, and does not give up when bandits attack the city, and is willing to live and die with friends." Yuan Tan, it should be like this! ”

A county leader said in a deep voice: "Minister, when the displaced people have not yet had time to riot, it is advisable not to delay! ”

"Yes, the speed tune is coming!"

Yuan Tan's expression was cold, and he immediately called the Yuan clan, ordered him to lead people to the west of the city to transfer the army quickly, thought about it, and said to the county officer: "You, go to the Xiao Dock Courtyard immediately, and ask Liu Xiaoniang to come to persuade the town!" ”

"No!" The man led the team away, slashed diagonally from the right side of the barracks, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Yuan Tan said in a deep voice: "Zhan Zhen, the chaotic people should be sparse and not excited, this matter should not be reckless, and let me deter first!" Without waiting for Liu Nong to answer, he walked to the edge of the high platform, raised the torch in his hand, and shouted: "I am Yuan Tan!" Why do you besiege the camp and make trouble? Don't you know that this is a capital crime? Let's go ahead and answer! ”

There was silence for more than ten breaths, but no one answered.

The wind was sudden, causing the torch in Yuan Tan's hand to whirre, and his face was dark and yellow.

"Yuan Dianchen ......"

A voice sounded in the crowd, and then someone took a few steps forward, stood in a place where the torch could not shine, and waved his hand at Yuan Tan and said: "Yuan Dianchen treats us and other people who have fled south as kindly as a mountain, how dare we rebel with chaos!" The courtier, I didn't come to the contrary, just to ask for an explanation! ”

Yuan Tan's expression was relieved, he waved a torch, and shouted loudly: "Don't talk too much, gathering people to make noise is chaos, and forcibly robbing grain and grass is rebellious!" Nian Er and the others have not yet committed bandits and rebellion, so let them go! Retreat quickly, if not, and then the army will arrive, it will not be spared, and it will be powdered! The voice was cold, with a sense of shock, and then he said softly: "When you wait for the south to flee here, you should spare your life!" ”

"Non-......"

The man shouted, then shook Yuan Tan deeply, then flicked the crown, put his hands behind his back, tilted his head, and said lightly: "Yuan Dianchen needs to know, his life can be helped, and he can't give up ......it."

sprinkled nearly a hundred words, and even talked about Taoism when the two armies were facing each other! And Yuan Tan also had the heart to contain and appease the displaced people, and even talked loudly with them.

Laifu shook his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Langjun, this matter is strange. ”

Guo Pu's eyes flickered, and he frowned: "When the sky is reversed, it is a disaster, the earth is anti-object, and it is a demon, among them, there must be fraud!" ”

"Fraud?!"

Liu Nong's sword eyebrows tightened, and he thought secretly: "This person can restrain thousands of displaced people without chaos, he must not be easy and reckless!"

Approaching the barracks, he was not in a hurry, but talked with Yan Dao leisurely. If you say it's to seek justice for a few displaced people?! In troubled times, where is justice? There must be fraud, but where is the fraud? What is its desire?

Later, as soon as the Yandao part arrived, what Bing Feng pointed out should be like ants......

Part 1?! Could it be ......,

No, a broken city, all the property is in the Shishuwu Fort, what is the meaning of the sound of attacking the west?

In the end, it was swept away, what was its meaning, and why did it come......

Suddenly, Laifu pointed to the rear and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Langjun, reinforcements have arrived!" ”

"So fast?!"

Liu Nong frowned, and when his mind was spinning, he was shocked when he heard the sound, and suddenly turned his head, only to see a group of armor soldiers running behind the right, all holding torches, and at a glance, there should be hundreds.

The first person was the county officer sent out by Yuan Tan. (To be continued.) )
