Volume 1 Beacon Fire in Troubled Times Section 24 Fireworks are merciless

The improved army formation made Li Xiuning and Luo Yu very satisfied, from the previous eight hundred people to two hundred and forty people, in a zigzag shape, and it can also change various forms according to the actual situation and terrain, and the power of the people is not much smaller.

The outer ring is three layers, when facing the enemy, the sergeant of the first layer takes out the spear first, and the sergeant of the second layer takes over the sergeant of the first layer when it is withdrawn.

Today is the third day of the fifth month, and he has been in Linfen for more than two months, Luo Yu has eaten and lived with them in addition to training this special team, and Li Xiuning does not blame him, as long as he is free, he will come to see him.

The weather is getting hotter, and today's Li Xiuning is wearing a lake-green girl's dress, with silk as the edge, muslin as the placket, her hair pulled at will, and her bumpy and delicate figure makes people want to have nosebleeds, but the first thing she said when she saw Luo Yu was "What are you eating today?" It was as if she had come here to eat on horseback and forth ten miles from her busy schedule.

Luo Yu looked at her, tried to restrain the impulse in his heart, and did not say anything, when he took a bath, he asked the team members to go hunting in the mountains to enrich the table, and every time Li Xiuning came over, he changed the method to make a few good dishes for her to eat, so that now Li Xiuning didn't want to eat the food in the army, so after eating a big bowl of sauce-flavored loach, he said to Luo Yu: "I'll move over......"

Luo Yu thought he had heard it wrong, and was stunned for a while before he said, "You moved here?" It's inconvenient, it's all rough old men here, how inappropriate it is for you to live here as a girl! No way! ”

Li Xiuning saw Luo Yu's anxious look, and said with a smile: "Don't forget, I'm the general, even if I'm in Linfen City, don't I live among a bunch of rough old men?" Why don't you say it's inconvenient? ”

Luo Yu said: "That's different, at least there are maids there to take care of your daily life, not here, besides, there are so many things in the Right Martial Army, can you get away?" ”

Li Xiuning squinted and said: "Uncle Niu, they can help deal with it, but there is not much to do with me, and the things that really need to be dealt with by me are just sent by them!" ”

Luo Yu saw Li Xiuning's eyes narrowed, and knew that she was looking for a topic, so he said, "Do you want me to move over and cook for you?" Anyway, the training here is pretty much the same, and I can move back in. ”

Li Xiuning smiled: "This is not what I said, you yourself said that you would move back to cook for me......"

Luo Yu smiled: "I don't understand, the cook in the General's Mansion can't learn or I haven't taught it well." I can't make such a simple dish. ”

Li Xiuning said: "You have wronged others, it's not that they can't do it well, it's that I haven't eaten at home at all, I eat in the barracks......"

Luo Yu had nothing to say, packed up his things, called a few captains over, and told them to practice hard, try to find some complex terrain for field exercises, and don't go to the battlefield to be used by people when the time comes. If there are any problems and needs, record them and solve them together when the time comes.

The captain took the order and dispersed.

Looking at the carriage brought by Li Xiuning, Luo Yu said: "Do you know that I will go back to the city with you today, don't you usually come by horseback?" ”

Li Xiuning said: "Actually, every time I come over, I bring a carriage, but I don't want to affect you......"

Luo Yu was speechless, this little girl is really too affectionate, if she lives up to her sincerity, she will really deserve to die.

After getting into the carriage, Li Xiuning told the coachman to hurry up and not to be too bumpy, and the horseman took the order, walked forward slowly, and drove the carriage into an ox cart.

Luo Yu pulled Li Xiuning into his arms, put her head close to her chest, and said guiltily: "Xiuning, I'm sorry, I've ignored your feelings during this time, I'll give you the guilt, the day after tomorrow will be Duanyang, let's put down everything and go outside to play together." ”

Li Xiuning listened to the powerful beating sound of his heart in Luo Yu's chest, felt that his heart was beating with the same frequency, raised his head, looked at Luo Yu, and sent red lips.

This kiss came too late, but it seemed precious, spanning more than 1,600 years, and even more across two spaces, Luo Yu's heart was stuffed by Li Xiuning, and there was no gap.

Yang Guang led the soldiers and horses to Xiangcheng, according to the spies, the defenders here are 50,000, and the guard Jin Chengfei is a Huhua Han man, who grew up in Goguryeo since he was a child, and is the son-in-law of Gao Yangcheng. This city is a newly built city, backed by the Morita Plateau, about 150 miles away from Yingkou, between the two places is an endless deep mountain and old forest, in which the strange rocks are craggy, the peaks and loops turn, no, there is no road at all, if you want to pass, unless you grow wings or move the mountain away.

There is an official road that took several generations to build in Goguryeo in the direction of Liaoyang, and it was originally necessary to go out of Goguryeo only to the north through Silla and Baekje and then to the south, and to go around five or six hundred miles, or to go to sea by boat, and to float in the sea for a few days before going to the Central Plains to pay tribute or study.

In the third year of Gao Yangcheng's reign, that is, the summer of the fifth year of Emperor Wen's reign, he finally opened up this external channel, but after opening up, he found that the opposite side was rich in products and few people, so he had a different heart, sent troops to attack Liaoyang and Yingkou, and quickly captured, so he felt that the Sui Empire was not a deaf ear, while preparing for war, while accelerating the new construction of the city, and digging tunnels between the three cities, and filling the excavated earthwork back to the official road that was finally opened, although it was only filled in fifteen miles, but it was undoubtedly a big project.

This is Yuangai Suwen's idea, if the 300,000 soldiers on the front line can't stop the Sui army's attack and the city is broken, the Sui army will drive straight into the city according to the official road, and there is no danger to defend in Pyongyang, so there is no need for these 300,000 soldiers and horses to go back, fill the official road, that is, to tell the soldiers that they can only win, not lose.

At this time, Yuangai Suwen was discussing how to break the enemy in Xiangcheng Jin Chengfei's mansion, and suddenly heard that the Sui army was coming, so he and Jin Chengfei came to the Xiangcheng city wall to check.

Xiangcheng because it is a new city pool, the city wall is only three zhang high, there is no design like Liaoyang, because of the back of the mountain to build, only three city gates are left, originally dug the moat, but the tunnel is dug, the water destroys the stratum structure, resulting in the water veins all sinking, the water of the moat is dry, only the suspension bridge is left alone to hang at the city gate, the moat is two zhang wide is disguised as the ground, as a trap.

There are no archery holes on the city wall, and there are only a few small Tibetan military towers built on the top, which is completely like a lamb being slaughtered, and I can't wait to shout to the Sui army: "Come and beat me!" ”

Yang Lin, the king of the backer, is Yang Guang's uncle, the cousin of Emperor Wen Yang Jian, who made great achievements for the establishment and unification of the Great Sui.

It was not until the third year of the great cause that it was reactivated, and he was appointed as the governor of Xiangzhou, and he entered the cabinet for four years to confer the Ministry of Rites, and in January of five years, because he wanted to go east, Yang Guang worshiped him as a marshal, called the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and followed Yang Guangdong to conquer Wang Bo, and then went to Liaodong.

He is nineteen years older than Yang Guangda, he has entered the sixtieth century, but he has practiced martial arts all the year round, his body is strong, and now he can kill wolves with one hand and fight tigers with both hands, plus he can fight habitually and is the emperor's uncle, so he is indeed the best candidate for the generalissimo.

Yang Lin went to the front line and saw that this was a trap, but he knew that it was a trap but had to step on it, and Yingkou also encountered the same situation as Liaoyang, and he didn't hit a single face, and when he walked to Yingkou, he suddenly smelled a strange smell, which was very uncomfortable, and then smoke rose from the ground, and the fire was out of control.

The front team was surrounded by a sea of fire, screaming and shaking the sky, falling quickly in the black smoke, and being burned to the bone, the fire was still burning, the black smoke was billowing out, and the smell was evil.

Wu Tianxi was attacked by an archer when he stepped forward to check, and he injured his left arm. After the statistics were made, the front team lost 1,000 men, and the whole army had to retreat thirty miles back and camp.

The two hard bones couldn't gnaw for the time being, and if they didn't find a way to deal with the black water, they wouldn't gnaw on them. But only the open front of the city gate can make the black water of the Goguryeo army lose part of its effect, and people have to suspect that this is a flaw deliberately left by the Goguryeo army.

If you are blocked in this first line of defense, you won't be laughed to death? Therefore, even if this city is a trap, it must be stepped on and the enemy must move to find the flaw.

When Luo Yu returned to the General's Mansion, it was the end of the Shen period, and the five-mile road was driven by the horseman for an hour, and he was also a talent. When the kiss between the two ended, Luo Yu wanted to go further, but was stopped by Li Xiuning and said with a smile: "I will be your wife after all, but I can't be without rules before I get married." ”

Luo Yu smiled: "Lady, you want to be crooked, I just want to help you tie it when you see that your breasts are loose......"

Li Xiuning hurriedly looked down and saw that the breasts above the bust were indeed loose, faintly revealing the red belly pocket inside, and instantly understood that this was Luo Yu's prank, and she had just untied it while she had accidentally untied it, she was not angry, but very happy, this is called fun.

Since you want to play, then play with you, after stopping at the gate of the General's Mansion, Li Xiuning deliberately loosened a breast, without the restraint of his coat, revealing most of his belly pocket, and looked at Luo Yu in a heart, but Li Xiuning grabbed the cushion cloth next to him to cover it, and then jumped out of the carriage, and asked him to bathe and change his clothes while walking, on the grounds that he was sweaty.

Is this being molested by a female hooligan? I have been training with the team in the past few months, and my body has grown a little taller, about 1.75 meters when I came, and now it should be 1.8 meters, half a head taller than Li Xiuning. Strength, physique, and reflexes are growing in all aspects, and even the face has changed, the face has become rounder and more handsome, and it seems that it is not impossible to be molested......

Thinking wildly in his mind, as soon as he entered the mansion, Zhang Yang walked up to him and arched his hand: "Instructor, there is important information in Liaodong, and we have translated it." After speaking, he took out the information from his arms and handed it to Luo Yu.

After reading it, Luo Yu said: "How long did it take you from the time this information was sent to the time it was received?" Zhang Yang said: "Because there are people relayed all the way, each person sends almost two hundred miles, so there is no need to care for the horsepower, plus day and night, it can be a lot faster, this time it took five and a half days, but there are still two horses that died......"

From Linfen to Liaodong, the straight-line distance is almost 2,300 miles, and now with the current situation in Hebei, we have to make a detour, which is almost 3,000 miles......

Luo Yu asked, "Is anyone hurt?" If possible, please bury the horses thickly, and I will give them horses privately! ”

Zhang Yang said: "No one was injured, twenty-six team members were sent along the way, each of them was a group of two, and sixteen of them were mobilized for this message, and some were afraid that they had been exposed, so they applied for a change of position." ”

Luo Yu said: "You arranged these things, aren't you resting now?" You and Liu Xin go around the army to see if there are suitable seedlings, select them, and form the second special operations team, with you old birds as instructors, I won't interfere, remember, take actual combat as the starting point, don't engage in bells and whistles. ”

Zhang Yang said excitedly: "Yes! "Now you can abuse a rookie, just like the instructor abused them in the first place.

Luo Yu said angrily: "You can find the base by yourself, let the rookies build the venue by themselves, don't play too much, if I hear something that I shouldn't hear, you can do it yourself!" Also, leave three team members on my side, on call at any time, go ahead! ”

Zhang Yang shuddered: "Yes!" He turned and walked away quickly.

Luo Yu slowly walked towards the bathhouse, weighing in his heart: "I didn't expect Goguryeo to dig out oil and use it on the battlefield, they shouldn't be able to practice oil, if they let them make gasoline, it will be a big deal, but, at present, it seems that there is no one, but there is no guarantee that there will be no in the future, and this symptom must be cut off." Thinking in my head, before I knew it, I passed the bathhouse, entered a room, and lay down on the bed.

Li Xiuning didn't like to be served very much, so she sent the two maids back to the house to rest, and when she came back from the bath, she just entered the bedroom and saw Luo Yu lying on her bed, her eyes wide open, and her mouth was still unconsciously muttering something.

turned around and closed the door, tightened his pajamas, poured a cup of tea, and brought it to Luo Yu, who was in a state of anxiety, and said, "Luo joined the army, and you don't bring anything when you come to the door, please use tea!" ”

Luo Yu woke up in shock, there was a burst of fragrance in his nose, and the pink mosquito net came into view, and when he turned his head, he saw Li Xiuning sitting on the stool next to the bed with a cup of tea, his big eyes full of smiles, as if waiting for him to explain.

Luo Yu didn't dare to look at it again, this little girl was really fascinated and couldn't pay for her life, dressed in white pajamas, not even wearing a belly pocket, her crisp chest was exposed by half an inch, and the charming cleavage could also be clearly seen, her long hair was casually draped, and her pretty face was red without a little rouge, coupled with Yingying's smile, Luo Yu was scared enough, and she hurriedly closed her eyes and said: "Xiuning, do you believe me when I said I went to the wrong room?" ”

Yang Guang is known as a soldier, led the troops to fight a few battles, but did not find a hard battle, this time with a million soldiers, has not seen the enemy army has lost 1,500 people, at the moment is in the handsome tent is furious, but Yang Lin, Yu Wenhua and can not be angry, have passed Duanyang, this ghost place day and night are still very different, during the day can be hot foam, but at night can freeze urine.

Yang Lin waited for Yang Guang to calm down, and said: "Your Majesty, you can't blame the two generals for this defeat, Goguryeo has a calculating heart, and always has to take advantage of it, our army is a labor expedition, and has just arrived at the battlefield, it is inevitable to suffer some defeats due to unfamiliar terrain, Zhang Liang's sailors have been assembled in Qinhuangdao, and they will be able to lead their divisions to go out in a few days, cross the Bohai Sea, land behind Yingkou, and attack our army in front and back, and complete their work in one battle." ”

Yang Guang thought for a while and said, "Even if Zhang Liang can lead the army across the Bohai Sea, if the land route cannot contain the Goguryeo forces, it may not be possible to land smoothly, so the main battlefield is still here." ”

Yu Wenhua and said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, I heard that Goguryeo will have tunnels in the three cities, but they are too far apart, and it is not easy to rescue, our army can attack in three places at the same time, so that they can not take care of the end, in view of the defense of Liaoyang and Yingkou is too strong, Weichen suggested that Xiangcheng as a breakthrough, as long as our army can break Xiangcheng, we can cut off the snake body, and then connect the three cities with tunnels, and send troops to copy the back road of the two cities. ”

Yang Lin said: "What the minister is worried about is that this city is simply an empty city, if after our army enters, the enemy has withdrawn from the tunnel, and then seals the tunnel, then there is no point in breaking the city, besides, even if the city is successfully broken, the enemy army does not seal the tunnel, we don't know the details of the tunnel, how many soldiers and horses can our army send out?" ”

Yu Wenhua said: "If it is really as the marshal said, Weichen wants to send a thousand people to test it, the walls of this city are not high, it is best to break through quickly, and besides, my million army can't just wait, I have to let the enemy move to find out the flaws,"

After listening to this, Yang Guang thought for a while and said, "The two Aiqing are reasonable, marshal, just arrange it like this!" He didn't seem to want to say any more, and turned back to the back of the tent.

A team of 1,000 people carried the ladder and slowly approached Xiangcheng, until it was a hundred steps away from the city gate, there was still no movement, Yang Lin looked at it from the high platform, and he was even more puzzled in his heart, could this city really be an empty city? The marching drum sounded under the tent, and the thousand-man team rushed ↗ forward with a shout, and then, before they could react, they saw a rocket shoot down from the city wall, and the moat immediately turned into a river of fire, accompanied by thick black smoke, and before they could retreat, it seemed that the whole ground was on fire.

The spread of the fire seemed to be only for a moment, the huge square was full of smoke, and the thousand people retreated sharply from the beginning to the ground and burned, only two breaths. If Luo Yu was here, he would definitely know what was going on, after the oil was burned, part of it would turn into gasoline, and part of it would turn into carbon dioxide, and the thousand-person team in the center of the fire would inhale too much carbon dioxide and die of poisoning even if they were not burned to death, plus such a fire, the surrounding air was evacuated, so the thousand-person team fell to the ground without even screaming a few times, and was burned alive.

Yang Lin and Yu Wenhua looked at the tragic situation in front of them, glanced at each other, and hurriedly ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, except for leaving more than 20 personal soldiers and guards to continue to monitor, the whole army retreated five miles and set up camp.

I don't know what this black water is, and I think of a way to crack it, this city can't be attacked.

Yang Guang heard about it and came over to ask, another team of 1,000 people was confiscated by Zhu Rongxi, and he still didn't see the enemy, so he couldn't get angry, what kind of divine soldier is Heishui? If you are glued, you will only have a dead end, and you will not even have a chance to escape.

Two of the people who were watching came back, and Yang Lin asked, "Jiangdong, what's wrong?" The tall and thin man Jiang Dong replied: "Back to the big handsome, the fire burned for half an hour before it was extinguished, and the bones of the thousand-man team were gone, and the fire was all burned black, and no one was active in the city." But the drawbridge of Xiangcheng was burned, and the city gate was also destroyed by fire. ”

Yang Lin waved his hand and let them go down, he had fought for so many years, and he had never been so weak as today, two thousand five hundred people were burned to ashes and one general was injured, and he didn't even see the people who were fighting, how could this battle be fought?

Yang Guang's order came down again, and then organized two teams of 1,000 people to attack the city with cloud ladders. Yang Lin hurriedly entered the account to stop it, and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to carry a ladder, the gate of Xiangcheng has been destroyed by the fire, and you can enter the city from the city gate." ”

Yang Guangdao: "According to the words of the marshal, I will capture Xiangcheng today, and I will avenge the dead soldiers!" ”

Another team of 1,000 men stepped into this black hell with weapons, this is the men and horses transferred from the rear team, they just did not see the miserable scene, the commander admonished, slowly searched and advanced, the archers kept their eyes on the city wall, drew their bows and were ready to shoot. But until the thousand-man team behind them also followed, there was still no movement in the city, and the silence as if it was death was even more confusing.

The march drum has sounded, I can't care so much, the commander directly led the army to the depth of about two zhang, about two zhang wide, at this time it is already a dark black moat riverside, the suspension bridge has been burned down, at a glance, the city gate hole is not deep, about one zhang or so, not far from the place is a restaurant, the word "wine" cloth is still fluttering in the wind, as if to welcome them in, no one has been seen.

Although the moat was dry, there was no way to jump directly over the distance of two feet, so the commander ordered a thousand people to wait here, and he went to ask if he could fill in a road to get out, so that the soldiers and horses could enter the city to find out.

A tea kung fu passed, and there was a commotion behind, a team of people carrying 100 catties of red clay on their shoulders were walking quickly, and the team of 1,000 people automatically spread out on both sides, leaving a way for the people to pass.

The soil kept coming, and in less than half an hour, a road three feet wide had been filled in, and the people all retreated. This last obstacle was removed.

Yuangai Suwen and Jin Chengfei took a look at the Sui army's thousand-man team in Tibet and returned to the general's mansion, and when the city gate was on fire, they ordered the 1,000 soldiers and horses left behind in Xiangcheng to withdraw into the tunnel, and then sealed both sides of the tunnel, leaving the Sui army with an empty city and thousands of catties of black oil, of course, there were a few dead soldiers waiting for the fire, he wanted to use this fire to tell Yang Guang that my Goguryeo is not so easy to bully.

In fact, as early as the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui, he was already discussing whether to go eastward, after Gao Yangcheng opened the official road, not only no longer paying tribute, but also raising troops to attack the city in the south and provoke the border, but at that time Sui was attacking the Chen Dynasty in the south, and there was no spare strength to look north, so he was temporarily let go.

But after the destruction of Nan Chen, when he wanted to use troops, Emperor Wen was stumped by the things of Tubo in the West, so that he did not send troops to the east until his death, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, first repaired the first phase of the Grand Canal, and then repaired the new Luoyang City, and then used troops to the northwest, and included Qinghai in the territory of China, after all this, he rested for two years, and after the treasury was full, he did not care about the use of troops in Liaodong, but also feared that he would not come to destroy him again, and he would not be able to lose his tail in the future.

The thousand-man team finally entered the city, this city did not look like a military city at all, there was no inner city wall, the buildings inside were disorganized, the streets were not streets, the roads were also winding around, there was no one in the city, the small river ditch was full of stinky water, and when you opened the door of the store, you could see things like wheat stalks and dry firewood.

Although he felt that something was wrong, he did not find any danger for the time being, so the commander ordered someone to find the entrance to the tunnel, and then sent someone to report what he saw in the city to the marshal, and he made a decision.

The second thousand-man team received the order that the first thousand-man team entered the city to see that there was no danger and immediately entered the city, and increased the number of troops to take over the three gates, and when they were all ready to assign tasks after entering the city, the sound of gold sounded, rapid and sharp, and before they could understand what the situation was, the restaurant in front of them was already full of smoke, and the black stinky water in the stream next to it also turned into a fire dragon, whistling and stretching away.

Just wanted to order a retreat, the stone gate in the cave of the city gate was opened, seven or eight Goguryeo soldiers in yellow clothes each held a large wine jar, smashed to the ground, the black water and butter inside instantly flowed to the ground, a torch was thrown, a flame rose into the air, surrounding the entire city gate, those Goguryeo soldiers were full of fire and rushed towards the thousand people who had not yet reacted, for a while, the screams resounded in the sky.

The commander wanted to use his clothes to extinguish the fire on his comrades, but found that it didn't work at all, this fire was like a gangrene attached to the bones, the more it pounced, the more it swooped, and the clothes immediately burned, there was no way to retreat, so he had to give up to save him, and retreated to the main road next to the restaurant with the soldiers who were not on fire, although he didn't know what was waiting for them in front of him, but it was better than being burned alive here.

Looking at the burned place as black as Chen Mo, he finally understood how the black in the square came from, and his two thousand people became a death squad, or the kind he didn't know, maybe no one could guess that he would encounter this situation when he entered the city.

The smoke drifted away with the wind, and there were more and more fire points everywhere, it should be the Goguryeo soldiers who were setting fire everywhere, until the house full of wheat poles in front of him also smoked, and the commander looked back and saw that there were not many soldiers behind him, and then he understood why the streets and roads here had to be built into turns, but it was too late, and a Goguryeo dead soldier who was covered in fire jumped out of the fire tower and hugged the commander......

Yang Lin looked at the fire and smoke in front of him, and his eyes were full of tears, and the bones of these two thousand people were about to be gone......

Hahaha, thank you)
