Chapter 230: Choice
Although Wu Nian and other high-level officials expected that Zhang Chongshui and Zhang Guang would not attack Beishan Fort. But the precautions that should be taken are still needed.
The militia was divided into several squads and was responsible for guarding and patrolling the city walls.
The elite soldiers rest and recuperate.
It's too cold right now.
The militia who kept vigil would also give out ginger tea and a few sips of wine.
Now there is a frenzied atmosphere in the sky above Beishan Fort. While the militia was on guard, they chatted, and between their words, of course, they were all Wu Nian.
"I can't think of it. Unexpectedly. When I heard that the Mengyuan people were about to arrive at Beishan Fort, I wanted to escape, but I was forced to stay. If you don't serve in the military, you will be killed. So there was no choice but to be a militiaman. I'll admit that I'm just cowardly and afraid of death. I never thought that General Wu would be able to defend Beishan Fort. And held it twice. ”
"yes. Me too. Last night, 200 soldiers were selected to die. I hugged the quilt and didn't let go, pretending I didn't hear. As a result, General Wu not only won, but the casualties of the daredevils were not large. ”
Two timid and fearful militiamen exchanged heads.
"Relax. General Wu will definitely be able to win until he drives the Mengyuan people out of Liaodong. When the time comes, it will be our business to be soldiers. Farming is your business. ”
"yes. Let's do our part. ”
Two bold and enthusiastic militiamen were talking on the side. They want to join the elite soldiers and fight with Wu Nian.
It can only be said that people have their own ambitions, and they can't be forced.
Don't worry about being a soldier or not. Now Beishan Fort, for Wu Nian's confidence, but the whole heart is one.
I can win.
The one who can win a war is, of course, a famous general.
Wu Nian = famous general.
That's when it happened.
One of the militiamen saw a dark shadow under the city and quickly approached the city walls. He hit a spirit, and was about to call it an "enemy attack".
But fortunately, he held back in time.
The man below spoke.
"Don't scream your brother in the city. I am an auxiliary soldier under Zhang Chongshui. is a person from Jiang County, named Chen Han. I came to see General Wu. ”
This incident quickly caused a chain reaction. Soon, a militia officer approached, and he first looked at it and made sure that there was only one person. Only then did he say, "Put the hanging basket and get him up." ”
"Yes."
The militiamen answered, then lowered the hanging baskets and brought the men up.
This Chen Han has a face in his early thirties, his face is full of weather, his expression is resolute, and he is burly. The militia officer took Chen Han down the city wall and went straight to Wu's mansion.
Wu Nian slept very deeply, and there were maidservants waiting in his room, which was divided into the first half of the night.
"Sir. Someone wants to see you. A maid pushed Wu Nian, but she didn't wake up, so she had to push a few hard.
Wu Nian opened his eyes at this time, a little dizzy.
, too much blood loss.
But soon Wu Nian was in good spirits, sat up and asked, "Who is it?" What's up? ”
It is certainly not a small matter that it is a very momentary time to alarm him at night.
Wu Nian also listened attentively to make sure that there was no shouting outside the city.
Not a night raid.
The maid shook her head and said she didn't know. Wu Nian had to put on his clothes, open the door, and ask the house slave who came to report. After learning about the situation, Wu Nian became more energetic.
Immediately sent someone to call the backbone, and he put on his clothes in a serious manner and came to the hall to wait.
"General. There are Han Chinese auxiliaries coming to you. This is not a conspiracy of the Mengyuan people, but our opportunity. Zhang Jin walked in with his head held high and said in a deep voice.
"General. What about the man? What are your thoughts? Li Yong came in on his heels and asked in a deep voice.
Wu Nian shook his head and said, "I haven't seen anyone yet, I'm waiting for you to be with me." I only know that it is from Jiang County, called Chen Han. ”
When Li Yong and Zhang Jin heard this, they all shook their heads, they didn't know each other at all.
And rightfully so. They are not from Jiang County, and even if they are from Jiangxia, the population of Jiang County is tens of thousands.
It is impossible for the people of Jiang County to recognize the people of Jiang County.
Soon, Tie Niu, Liu Wu, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and others also came in. When everyone arrived, Wu Nian said to the soldiers waiting outside the door, "Bring people in." ”
"Yes." The soldier answered, turned and went down. Soon after. After eating a little something, Chen Han, who drank a bowl of old wine, walked in with a ruddy face.
He looked up and knew that the people here must be the big people of Beishan Fort. That was a strongman who fought with real knives and guns against the Mengyuan people.
But he wasn't afraid.
If he hadn't been bold, he wouldn't have come to Beishan Fort.
"But General Wu is in front?" Chen Han's eyes fell on Wu Nian, who was sitting on the main seat, and asked.
"It's me. If you have anything to say, you can say it directly. Wu Nian nodded, and said expressionlessly, unable to see or hear joy and anger.
"Villain Chen Han. Met General Wu. Chen Han's expression and tone were very respectful, and he bent down first. Then he said: "Our Han auxiliary soldiers are very excited to hear that the general has defeated Li Dazui. Some of us are in a group, hoping to serve as an internal response to the general. ”
The expressions of Wu Nian and the others were noncommittal.
I guessed it a long time ago.
It's not a ruse, it's a fighter.
"How many of you are there? You may be able to provide a map of the layout of the Mengyuan military camp, where your Han auxiliaries are, and what they can do. Wu Nian had already been prepared, and asked like a cannon.
"There are twenty-three of us. The villain can provide the layout of the Mengyuan military camp, and we can set it on fire. Chen Han was also prepared and replied calmly.
"Pen and paper." Wu Nian looked up at Li Yong and said.
"Yes." Li Yong answered and immediately went down. A short time later, he walked in with pen and ink and paper and placed it on the ground.
Chen Han didn't care about the cold on the ground, sat down on the ground, drew a sketch at a faster speed, and after standing up, he raised the picture above his head with both hands.
"General. The Mengyuan people are also on guard against our Han auxiliaries. Don't let us gather, scattered among the Mengyuan soldiers. We can't even set fire to it first, we can only set fire to it when the general is attacking the barracks and the camp is empty. Chen Han bent down and said in a deep voice.
Wu Nian didn't speak, Li Yong reached out and took the sketch and glanced at it himself, and without stopping, he came to Wu Nian and handed it over.
The rest of the people craned their necks to look, but they couldn't see anything, only their hearts itched.
After Wu Nian took the sketch, he lowered his head and looked at it carefully. The sketch is very detailed, where the livestock of the Mengyuan people are placed, where the war horses are placed, how many granaries are divided, and even where the dung pit is.
This one named Chen Han, as well as the twenty-three people he claimed to be, were very careful and very well organized.
Under such conditions, it is not easy to send a large living person out of the barracks.
If they really want to do the internal response.
Wu Nian looked up at Chen Han.
But on the other hand, this guy may be a bait sent by Commander Meng Yuan to lure him out of the city and attack the Meng Yuan camp.
Annihilate him in one fell swoop.
There are two answers.
How to choose?
If you answer correctly, you will be able to eat a thousand commanders of Mengyuan people again.
Wrong.
Not to say that there is no recovery, but at least the loss of troops is lost.
