Jonburg.

It is about sixty miles away from Shancheng.

The brigade commander was a man in his thirties, in the prime of life, with bright light and shining armor, and he was standing in the arsenal of the fort to inspect the ordnance.

At this time, a sergeant on the high wall suddenly shouted: "Lvshuai Wang, the pine sentry on the west side is on fire!" ”

In the following period, more and more armor soldiers came here to pick up weapons.

The sergeant in charge of reporting the news was also brought over out of breath, and said in a deep voice: "Brigade commander, I vaguely heard a voice, it seems to be a Tibetan horse team, the fog is too big, I can't see it in Huochang Fort, hurry up and call me to report the news." ”

"Prepare for war, go to the wall!"

"Winter Winter ......"

The drums beat rapidly, and all the sergeants came out of the humble barracks, carrying all kinds of weapons to the open space and lined up.

The drums are not monotonous, they are rhythmic, and the iron shoes are on the ground, which matches them.

Wang Lushuai took the iron helmet handed by his attendants, and quickly put it on his head without hurrying, until he tied the rope, shook his body, and confirmed that the armor and stomach were all properly dressed, and then walked towards the city wall.

On the arc helmet, the bright bird feathers swayed in the cold wind, and this softness formed a strong contrast with the iron armor.

In the ice mist, something black and oppressive gradually appeared, accompanied by the shaking of the earth.

This scene was desperate, and a man next to the brigade commander Lao Wang widened his eyes and stammered:

"Tuyuhun army...... There are no less than 5,000 people, sir, let's hurry up and take the brothers with us before we are surrounded! ”

When the words fell, he met a pair of eyes that were colder than the dense fog of early winter in the northwest, and the brigade commander pointed to a descendant who was clenching the horizontal knife and gritting his teeth not far away, and said:

"Boy, you take his place."

"Why?"

There was a stunned sound on his side.

"Because you're going to die."

The brigade commander went out of the body with a horizontal knife on his waist, stabbed him directly, and then twisted it hard in his abdomen, and suddenly screamed.

"Those who disturb the morale of the army can be killed!"

"Those who retreat from the battle can be killed!"

The bloodstained horizontal knife was raised high, and the brigade commander shouted: "Serve the country with your body, and the wives and children in the family have their own court to support them!" ”

"Those who dare to imitate effectively, military law will be engaged!"

The Tang army was highly disciplined, and as Wei Gong Li Jing said, at least one out of ten soldiers had to be killed in order for the three armies to obey orders solemnly.

The soldiers instantly became pure, and would rather die on the battlefield than be killed as deserters.

Then, a team of only twelve horses, under the cover of archers, rushed out of the fortress and ran as far as they could to the northeast.

According to the choice of reporting at the first level, they had to return to Shancheng to report and seek reinforcements.

"Pour tung oil on the wall first."

After making a simple arrangement, the brigade commander came down from the city wall with a knife, walked to the water tank, scooped water to rinse the horizontal knife, put it in the scabbard, and said to several attendants around him:

"All the pigeons kept in the castle were taken."

The division of labor was clear, and the brigade commander took a pen and wrote notes, some were responsible for drying, and some were responsible for tying them to the legs of special pigeons, and eight of them were released in a row.

All the places that had to be notified, and two carrier pigeons were arranged in each place, and the remaining three useless pigeons were thrown into the brazier along with the cages.

Flutter!

The pigeon is dying.

"We don't need it, don't leave it to the enemy."

After that, everyone searched the various rooms, whether it was the blueprints for making weapons, or the official documents for communicating with the assassin and the marching chief, they were thrown into the brazier.

During this period, the outside had long been shouting for the heavens, and the two armies had already begun to fight.

As soon as the brigade commander pushed the door out, he saw the locust-like arrow feathers falling diagonally from the air, shooting at the wall tiles and door panels, and the tail trembled and made a clanging sound.

Suddenly, a dull scream rang out.

One of the attendants clutched his throat and slipped to the ground, unable to speak at all, only his legs kept kicking on the ground.

The battle broke out in such a hurry that some of the soldiers didn't have time to put on their armor, and the squire was like this, wearing only heart goggles and no armor, and now he was shot in the neck, obviously not alive.

At this moment, he was lying on the ground throbbing in pain, covering his neck with one hand, and reaching out to the brigade commander with the other, his eyes full of despair.

"Everyone has to die, you go first, on the Huangquan Road, wait for us with the brothers at the outpost."

The brigade commander pressed his heart, dropped a sentence coldly, and then pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and strode towards the city wall.

When they arrived at the high place, they saw the enemy troops like ant colonies pouring in from all directions, and the defenders' scalps were numb.

Most of these cannon fodder were the slaves of the Tuyuhun nobles, or the Tang people who had been plundered in the past, they were disheveled, like beggars, most of them held sharpened wooden sticks in their hands, and among the five people could have a short knife, and occasionally they could see shoddy bows and arrows.

As for the Tuyuhun elite soldiers, they all stood far behind, occasionally sending horse teams to rush to the bottom of the castle, and after shooting a rain of arrows, they would leave, and they would not stay at all.

The cries and cries rang out in unison.

The slaves wore only a few pieces of animal fur and even a single layer of linen, which could neither protect them from the cold nor protect them.

On the city, the Tang army's bows and crossbows did not stop, and as soon as the giant crossbows were fired, a row of crossbows flew out, and the grass and trenches were full of corpses.

However, the number of Tang troops in the fortress is not large, and when the manpower is finally available, the high-intensity continuous opening of the bow and string, just half a burnt incense, many soldiers are already sore.

Especially the bow and crossbow, each pull requires at least three stones to open, so many Tuyuhun people have already set up ladders and started to climb the wall.

A fire captain said excitedly: "Boss, light a fire and burn these dogs and rats." ”

"Not then." The brigade commander shook his head and said coldly: "It's just a group of slaves, wait for the real enemy to come up." ”

"Lao Tzu can die, but with my life, I must at least let the captive army leave five corpses!"

As he spoke, he heard a strange scream.

I saw a Tuyuhun slave climb the wall first, and from a distance of several zhang, I could smell the stench, because according to barbarian customs, some Tubo people and Tuyuhun were born until now, and they have never taken a bath at all.

Then, with a flash of the sword, a round object rose into the sky, spurting scarlet blood, and the slave fell straight down the city.

"Order, all the shooters are replaced with rifles, and the sword players are lined up."

Time goes by little by little.

Seeing that the slaves could not break through the Tang army's defensive line, Tuyuhun warriors wearing armor and stomachs successively made up for it.

Outside the fortress.

The army was at the rear.

"Why haven't you taken a small Rong Fort yet?!"

A Tuyuhun general knelt in front of his horse and said tremblingly: "The Tang people resist stubbornly, give the last general a little more time, and then this fort will be razed." ”

"I'll give you another stick of incense at most."

After speaking, the young nobleman with a dark red face waved his horsewhip and scolded: "Where there are not even two hundred people, you idiots are also grinding, what a bunch of useless things!" ”

At this time, a middle-aged man in a bright robe not far away responded: "You should learn more about the habits of the Tang people, in their opinion, the so-called integrity is more important than personal life." ”

"Haha, they are all raised by their fathers and mothers, mortal in the flesh, they still have to die if they are stabbed in with a knife, they have a city wall to rely on, and five hundred elites died under Lao Tzu's command, which is enough to grind out this group of Tang troops."

As soon as the general, who had been kneeling on the ground, received the order, he immediately rode to the front line and pointed to the fortress:

"Give you time to burn half a stick of incense, go up to the elite soldiers! Broke down the door and rushed in. ”

"If General Ben is punished, you will only be even worse!"

After a while, more elites were sent out in the camp on Tuyuhun's side, holding wooden round shields in their hands, protecting a crashing car.

At this time, the towers on both sides began to push down the stones, the shields could not stop it, and Tuyuhun continued to appear dead and wounded, but there were many of them, and soon other soldiers rushed over to make up for it.

The distance is getting closer.

The drums beat in my ears.

Tuyuhun soldiers who were familiar with the Tang Army knew that this sound mostly meant death.

Sure enough, countless clay pots were thrown down from above, and after they were broken, black oil burst out, and then torches fell from the sky.

There was a coaxing on the ground, the sky-high fire was ignited, and the howls were chaotic, and the soldiers in the rear were panicked when they heard it, and they were talking with each other, and their words were full of fear.

However, it is still inevitable to be selected and go to escort the crash with a shield on his head.

And so on three times.

No more black oil falls.

There aren't many defenders of this thing.

on the wall.

The brigade commander with an arrow feather in his arm looked around silently for a while, and suddenly said:

"Order, all those who can move go down the wall and line up in front of the door!"

After that, he took the lead and walked down the wall ladder, grabbed the flagpole and stood in front of the door, and the flag had a big character written on it:

Tang Dynasty.

Soon, all the sergeants came to the flat ground inside the door one after another, and lined up in several columns, and now there was no one in neat clothes and armor, all of them were scarred and embarrassed.

However, the queue is still as neat as it was during training, no matter how embarrassed it is, it can be seen that they are an army, and they are presenting the most classic cone-shaped battle formation of the Tang Army-

With a team of fifty people, the team leader stands at the front, behind is the deputy leader of the flag, and then there are two Qian Qi standing on the left and right, that is, the flag guards.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

Behind the flag guards, forty-five soldiers spread out evenly in a triangle, seven in the first row, eight in the second, nine in the third, ten in the fourth, and eleven in the fifth.

In addition, there was also an officer holding a Da Mo knife in his hand, standing behind the whole team to supervise the battle, and when he saw that anyone was afraid to charge, he went up and slashed to death.

No one complains, you know, the commanders are at the forefront, with weapons and flags in their hands, and the enemy will be the first to engage them!

Military:

During the battle, the flag head was killed by the enemy, and his body was recovered to avoid death; Failed to recapture, the whole team was executed.

Surrender to the enemy country during the battle and confiscate his home.

A series of strict military orders determined that soldiers must be brave when fighting.

Besides, the Tang people do have integrity.

Winter! Winter! Freeze!

The gates of the fort are crumbling.

"At least five for that."

The brigade commander grinned, drew his saber, pointed to the battle flag and shouted, "Datang Wansheng!" Long live our emperor! ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

The sergeants shouted, not feeling at the end of the road, but celebrating, and their morale was greatly boosted.

"The lover went yesterday, and the bright moon is not round. There are tears at other times, scattered in front of the green building. Jun tears and scarves, and concubines are full of tears. Luo scarf is long in his hand, and now he has to follow the concubine. The road dust is like the wind, and it has to be on the wheels of the king. Longyou Qianli Road, as close as the middle threshold. The middle door is over sometimes, and Long is long in the eyes. Born under the green Luo, I don't know the right way of Long. The lover came to kill himself, and he came to the ...... in his dreams every night"

The ballad that should have been sung by the women was less resentful in the mouths of men, and more desolate and heroic.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the gate collapsed, and a cloud of dust was raised, and only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard, and a group of alien cavalry rushed into the fort with a shout.

Dozens of wounded soldiers also rushed forward, shieldmen ran in formation, crossbowmen cooperated with spearmen, and the cavalry that rushed to the forefront of Tuyuhun suddenly turned on their backs.

The shouts of killing resounded in the sky.

It's just that there are countless alien soldiers and horses, some of them rushing head-on, and some of them detouring from the flanks.

"Surrender, you can avoid death!"

The enemy will shout in jerky Chinese.

Regardless of the southeast, northwest, or northwest, as long as there are nobles with some status, most of them will have two sentences of Chinese and be proud of it.

"Hahaha!"

The helmet on Wang Lvshuai's head with bright bird feathers had long since disappeared, his hair was also scattered, and the battle flag was planted in the ground with his cape, and he suddenly raised his head and laughed wildly, as if he was very happy.

The Tuyuhun people looked at each other.

And he stepped on the corpse and head in front of him, limping outside with a horizontal knife.

"Put down your weapons, stop, surrender!"

The shouting continued.

The swords and spears around him were scattered all over the ground, and the broken-legged war horse was lying on the ground and wailing.

And the armor stomach on the brigade commander's body is exquisitely textured, and he is holding a battle flag, which looks the most brave.

This is exactly the reason why Tuyuhun wants to persuade him to surrender.

However, he did not cooperate.

Killing eight aliens with his own hands, and saving three heads on his waist, Wang Lvshuai felt that he was worth it.

Whoosh......

And the persuasion was fruitless, a bolt feather flew decisively, penetrating the armor, and he became a hedgehog, but he took his last breath and raised his eyes to look to the east.

What's in the East?

At this age, the daughter-in-law and children must have it, and there may be a young lover who is still there, waiting for him to go back and linger.

At this point, all the Tang troops in the fort were killed, but more than ten times the corpses were left inside and outside the castle.

The Tuyuhun people present, especially the generals, could vaguely feel a terrifying thing, indescribable, and it seemed to be ...... Power.

Orient.

The morning sun had already risen, and in the white and silky mist, the red sun was bright as blood.

As the fog became more and more thin, boundless black shadows appeared in it, and after getting closer, it was clear that it was the Tang Army troops, tens of thousands.

After so many years, there are finally heavenly soldiers of this scale, and they are marching silently.

On the other side, a horse galloped towards the army, a puff of smoke dancing from under the horses' hooves.

The three small flags on the back of the cavalry crackled in the wind, and there were a few arrow feathers stuck in the stomach of the back armor, and as soon as he saw someone coming to answer, he hurriedly shouted:

"Urgent! Meet the General! ”

The water meandered, lying quietly on the earth, like a hibernating snake.

At this moment, Meng Fan was staring at the frozen water, as if following the river surging under the ice, and heard the sound of war drums from the fort, and a sentence came to his mind: The side court bleed into the sea, and the Martial Emperor was unexpected.

In fact, I don't know how many battles of various ethnic groups have been witnessed by the river in front of us, and at this time, another 60,000 Tang troops lined up neatly and headed for the front line.

"This is my Han land, and there is a reason to give it to others, and the hatred of the country and the family cannot be forgotten."

Because he felt that the poems he had thought of before were too undesirable, he turned to sigh and said: "Life is a hero, and death is also a ghost." ”

For Taoists, this poem is not false.

Compared to letting the heroic soul reincarnate, Meng Fan felt that he could provide a better way.
