Volume 1, The Sound of the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 22, Into the Jungle
The fire burned for three hours, although it was time to eat, but the soldiers above the city tower did not dare to go down the city tower, even eating on the city tower was cautious, watching the city tower at any time, under the city tower is a piece of ash, most of the corpses were burned, leaving only a place of ashes, today's fire clouds are even good-looking, the whole sky is red, the barbarians and the people of the north are looking at the sky in the distance, the battlefield ushered in a moment of tranquility, suddenly a wind blows, the ashes at the foot of the city tower are blown away, although these people who are alive can not feel their lives, but after becoming ashes, they can finally go anywhere they want。
Lin Beichuan looked outside the city tower, a little embarrassed, this is today's first battle, no one knows how long this battle will last, how many people will die, just when Lin Beichuan was in a daze, Hu Man'er walked behind Lin Beichuan and said softly: "General Lin, you go to rest, and leave it to me later." Lin Beichuan patted Hu Man'er on the shoulder, "Let these soldiers die less, and the northern border will be handed over to you." So saying, he walked down the tower.
Hu Man'er walked up to the city tower, he first divided a formation of archers, and then prepared enough rockets, and then ordered the knife and axe men to leave the corpses of some barbarian soldiers who rushed up to the city tower, before Hu Man'er finished arranging, the barbarian order, the siege battle, started again, on the city wall, the ice that was burned by the fire has condensed again, but the ice at this time is not thick, showing blood, it is a mixture of blood and water, such ice is not as thick as before, which naturally increases the difficulty of the barbarian climbing, sometimes a knife pierces the not very solid ice, the ice surface is shaved down, and the whole person falls down in an instant, even so, and did not have the confidence to stop the barbarians from attacking the city. It's still all out of the woods, never dying.
The process of attacking the city is the same as in the daytime, it is still very boring, but it is such a tedious step, but it is constantly harvesting lives, and countless corpses are spread under the city tower, and the night in the north is much drier than in the hundred days, Hu Man'er ordered a team of archers who were selected separately, holding rockets, to shoot at the corpses under the city tower, the corpses are not easy to burn without oil, but there are differences under several rockets, first clothes, then bodies, and the fire is burning again.
Tonight the sky is dark, there is no moon and no stars, the fire blocked the attack of the barbarians, Hu Man'er celebrity stripped off the clothes and hair of the barbarian corpses left on the city tower, and then summoned Chen Angelica and Peng Dangyuan, let them take their own team of men and horses out of the city, this team of people and horses are wearing barbarian clothes, the eyes of the barbarians are not good, it is difficult to distinguish in such a night, only through the smell, but because they will also cut off the hair and stick to the body, so from the smell, it is difficult for the barbarians to distinguish whether they are friends or enemies, and the next time they rush to kill, they will release these fake barbarians, distinguish the position of the horn, and behead the barbarians' generals and heralds。 Hu Man'er said to a few people.
"What about them?" Chen Angelica pointed to the people who had arranged the beheading operation arranged by Hu Man'er, "Don't worry, once the barbarians are about to die, the barbarians will definitely panic, and they will come back in the crowd." Chen Danggui still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Hu Man'er, so he received the order and walked down the city tower, Peng Dangyuan walked last, stood with Hu Man'er, and said: "You know, they can't come back if they go." Hu Man'er smiled: "War, there will always be deaths." ”
After a small episode, the barbarians continued to attack the city, because of Hu Man'er's method, the barbarians and the soldiers on the city tower did not have to keep fighting, so they were not so tired, after a burning of the corpse, Hu Man'er ordered people to wash the city head with boiling water, and the ice on the city wall itself was not thick after being drenched in blood, and it melted some of it after being drenched in blood, and the ice surface at this moment was turned into ice water to stay, and the ice road that the barbarians tried with their lives did not exist, only by chiseling the city wall, for a while, the barbarians' offensive fell into a stage of suspension, and the barbarians' offensive was nothing to pause, but this time it made the commanding barbarians a little anxious, and kept giving orders, Let the barbarians continue to charge, open the way with their lives, one by one the horn is like a life-saving talisman, a few times later, the barbarians began to charge frantically again, and when the horn was played, Hu Man'er ordered people to open the left and right city gates, so when the barbarians were just preparing to attack in a big way, the wind power two horsemen killed, and the barbarian team that was just about to be assembled was scattered again, most of the barbarians began to flee, and a team of elite soldiers who were sent to death were also mixed into the barbarians at this moment.
It was night, the barbarians almost all rested at night, and the barbarians who attacked the city at night were reluctant, and at this moment, the escape of some people caused all the barbarians to scatter and flee, and the barbarians kept blowing the horn, and the assassin followed the sound of the horn to find the approximate location and slowly approached, and soon touched the front of the barbarian general, and the barbarian saw that a barbarian walked towards him, and kept cursing in his mouth, and stepped forward, ready to drive away, but when the leader slashed the head of the barbarian at least from the bottom, and then shouted, "The barbarian is dead, and you still don't surrender." But after shouting for a long time, no one cared about it, and even the comrades-in-arms around him laughed, and even some comrades-in-arms had already used their knives and began to fight with the surrounding barbarians, and the leader hurriedly asked: "Why don't you let them surrender." "The barbarians are not like us, the leader is dead, and others will fight, but there is no discipline. A veteran who had fought many battles with the barbarians said. "Then General Hu said?" "Chosen by General Hu, most of them died." Another soldier, who was familiar with Hu Man'er, slashed a barbarian to death with a knife and replied. "General Hu will treat your family well, and being selected by General Hu shows that you are really elite. "The other one had already killed several barbarians in an instant, and was surrounded by barbarians, his hair was scattered, and he was stabbed on his body and laughed. "Then it's a little bit, Barbarian Gate, your second grandfather Niu is here. When the leader heard this, he also threw the barbarian's head aside and rushed into the crowd of barbarians.
The barbarians were killed, and the barbarians had no leading figures, so this night was exceptionally quiet, and the scattered barbarian attacks could not pose the slightest threat to the northern city.
Early in the morning, after getting the news, Linbeichuan summoned Hu Man'er in the city lord's mansion, and Peng Dangyuan, Chen Angelica, Xu Houlu and Hu Xianming were still together at the moment. Lin Beichuan was unusually angry, Hu Man'er knelt on the ground with his head down, and Lin Beichuan scolded loudly: "Hu Man'er, do you know what you did wrong?"
"I gave my soldiers a day of rest and recuperation, and I don't think I did anything wrong. ”
"That's right, Hu Man'er, the soldiers you sent out are also people, they also have families, wives and children, and fathers, why should they die?"
"Ci is not in charge of the army, General Lin, this is what you taught me when I was a child. ”
"Yes, I have taught you, but I have also taught you, don't do everything with dangerous moves, we are defending the city, not attacking the city, defend the city well, you don't have to die so many people, that's the elite soldiers, no one knows how long this battle will last, how important the elite soldiers are, you don't need me to teach you, and you know what will happen if you do this, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers, what are you letting them do? This is sending them to death. If someone obstructs you, you may one day die at the hands of your own soldiers. Xu Houlu, I order you, in the future, you will be the main general, Hu Man'er will be the deputy general, if you want to fight, you will make the decision, the battle to defend the city, and stability is the best. ”
"Yes. Xu Houlu replied loudly. Knock knock, at this moment, there was a knock outside the door, after Lin Beichuan agreed to play, the door was pushed open, Song Tian walked in, and looked at Lin Beichuan: "Father-in-law, all the soldiers who entered the dense forest have been wiped out," "Send the elite to investigate, if you don't know what happened, we can't fight this battle, there are too many barbarians, I don't know when we can finish killing, now it's just ordinary barbarians, and the elite barbarians haven't come out yet." "I have arranged that someone will leave the city tonight, and when the time comes, I hope that the wind riding electric horse, the warrior battalion and the swift battalion can all cover it. "Chai Yuanzhong will escort the grain and grass back today, Wu Qiankun is now in the city, you can go and talk to them." Lin Beichuan promised, "Song Tian, you must choose the elite, when you can end this battle, it's all up to you, the others, desperately defend the city." ”
Linyue Mountain was standing outside the door at the moment, Linyue Mountain, who originally wanted to find his father and say that he wanted to go to the battlefield, heard all this at this moment, and immediately made up his mind in his heart, he had been in the northern military and civilians for many years, under the protection of his father, and now, it was time for him to repay himself, Linyue Mountain had made up his mind in his heart, so he no longer entered the door, went back to prepare night clothes, and prepared to mix in the crowd at night and quietly go out of the city.
There is something in his heart, Linyue Mountain only feels that time flies, so after going to bed early in the evening, he quietly slipped out from the back window and slipped to the city gate, Song Tian is arranging personnel to prepare for departure, before departure, Song Tian asked everyone to report their names and count the number of people, in case someone does not come, but at this moment, the barbarians suddenly attacked, and the soldiers in the north also began to resist, and the wind power cavalry and infantry of the rapid warrior battalion were also sent out at this time, Song Tian did not have time to count, after a few words, the group was sent out, Linyue Mountain also mixed out with the crowd, due to the protection of the night clothes, the exit was quite smooth。 Then Linyue Mountain followed the captain to learn to pull off a barbarian's clothes and put them on himself, and then the group scattered, Linyue Mountain was in the crowd, the battlefield was too chaotic, and Linyue Mountain walked smoothly outside the dense forest.
"The one in front, stop, why haven't I seen you?" A voice came from behind him, it was about to enter the dense forest of Linyue Mountain, Linyue Mountain was secretly unlucky, and said in his mouth: "I'm going to report the military situation to the red-clothed man, I usually serve the red-clothed man, you must not have seen me." Lin Yueshan suppressed his voice, he was afraid that his voice would be too immature and would be heard by others. At the same time, his hand was quietly held on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and if he was discovered, he could only fight to the death.
"Lord Red, no, you, turn around. The voice of the person behind him was cold, and he walked towards Linyue Mountain step by step, Linyue Mountain only heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and his heart kept pounding with the footsteps.
