Volume 1 The Son-in-law Breaks into the World Chapter 9 Exemption from War
Zhao Xuanyi chuckled lightly and said casually [People go to tea and cool everything, thousands of troops and horses guard across the shore, the weather is cold to know that people's hearts are warm, and loyal soldiers can be seen in the lonely city! γ
After Shen Wei listened, he turned his head to look at Zhao Xuanyi, and saw the situation in front of him and Zhao Xuanyi's words, which made Shen Wei's heart very sad, but such learned words came from Zhao Xuanyi's mouth, which really made people can't believe it, is this still the second young master of the Zhao family who didn't learn and drank every day? He was skeptical!
At night, the city wall is brightly lit, the torches are swaying with the breeze, as if they are dancing the Persian dance, and the soldiers standing guard are one by one, standing up like statues, and the military style is very passable!
And the soldiers outside and inside the city wall did not rest, Tang Tianli outside was still working with people, and Sun Yan inside did not relax in the slightest, Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei inspected it, only to see Su Xiaoling with a group of soldiers installing wheels on the city wall as fixed pulleys, and four of them have been assembled!
Zhao Xuanyi walked closer and patted the wheel with his hand, it was very strong, the groove in the middle of the wheel was also well done, the rope was stuck in it and it was very tight, and a huge falling stone was placed on the city wall.
γBang!γ The huge sound startled everyone, only to see that the falling stone on the city wall was pushed down by Zhao Xuanyi, startling Tang Tianli, who was digging a horse pit outside, Mom, almost fainted, "What are you doing?" Tang Tianli shouted loudly.
Zhao Xuanyi stood on the edge of the city wall and laughed: "Pull it up!" β
"Yes!" The three soldiers grabbed the rope behind the wheels and, without much effort, pulled the falling stone up again, and then placed it on the wall again so that it could be reused.
Zhao Xuanyi walked over and looked at the rope tied to the falling stone, it was very stable, and he couldn't help nodding, "Su Xiaoling, it's good!" When this battle is over, remember to ask me for a reward! β
"Yes!" Su Xiaoling shouted, and the other soldiers were also very happy when they saw that the falling stone could be used repeatedly, how much work force was reduced invisibly? At such a time when resources are scarce, I didn't expect this centurion to really have a set!
Zhao Xuanyi looked outside the city wall by the dim firelight, and saw that there were already more than forty traps on the ground, and nodded with satisfaction, I didn't expect this Tang Tianli to really do things, and then checked the situation of the city gate, only to see that the city gate hole more than ten meters long had been blocked by Sun Yan and others, and the soldiers were constantly transporting broken bricks and soil, Zhao Xuanyi was even more satisfied!
"Tell Tan Beiping to add food at night, give me all the delicious food, don't let the brothers go hungry, eat well!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly.
"Centurion thanks!" Dozens of soldiers shouted.
"Thanks for what? This is what the brothers deserve! Zhao Xuanyi laughed after speaking.
When the hot meal was served, Zhao Xuanyi frowned, and saw a plate of cabbage and turnips, another plate of pickles that he didn't know, plus the staple white rice, which couldn't help but make Zhao Xuanyi very surprised!
"This is our best food?" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Shen Wei and asked.
Shen Wei smiled bitterly, "Young master, you are used to this young master's body, this is not bad, if it is normal, it is just white rice and pickles, this is a frontier land, there is no farming all year round, just these grains and pickles, or rely on transportation!" β
Zhao Xuanyi then understood, it turned out that the food of the ancient soldiers was so poor, not to mention meat, even vegetables were only so simple, picked up chopsticks and took a bite, Zhao Xuanyi couldn't wait to spit it out, the dishes were too light, there was no taste at all, and he forgot to put salt?
Turning his head to look at the other soldiers, he found that they had gobbled up their food, and a plate of vegetables was snatched up in the blink of an eye, seeing this scene, Zhao Xuanyi secretly swore in his heart that if he had the final say one day, he would definitely change the soldiers' food, which was not comparable to the domestic army, and he couldn't be so harsh, it was simple! Is this what people eat?
The morning sun is still dazzling, the warm light is sprinkled on the earth, but it seems so sad, there is no dense forest outside the city, there is no pleasant birdsong, there is only the cold breeze of the frontier, and the empty loess!
In the distance, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves, and I saw a group of soldiers wearing clothes made of animal skins and rags, holding scimitars and longbows in their hands, slowly walking in the direction of Huangling City at this moment, this group of people had red beast blood on their faces, and their faces showed hideous expressions, like rakshasas!
Led by a young man of about twenty-five years old, a group of tall brown horses under his crotch, carrying a bright seven-ring ghost head knife in his hand, wearing a fox fur hat on his head, and a white tiger skin robe showed that this person served differently from others, and this luxurious costume also represented that he was a Tatar nobleman!
The man's face was dark-skinned, and his big eyes were murderous, looking like the eyes of a beast in the forest eager to kill! The thick lips were very unangry, and at a glance, it was clear that this man was very dissatisfied with his errand!
This man is the third son of the Tatar ruler, Dugqing Mandu Ratu! Latu thinks that he was born with divine powers, and if he fights with the Ming army, he is also the vanguard of the battle, but why did his father let himself lead a thousand people to attack such a little-known city?
This decision deeply hurt Latour's self-esteem, but he couldn't refute his father's order, thinking of his two brave and highly valued brothers, he always had such a strength in his heart! For this mission, his heart is very unhappy!
And these thousands of people marched towards Huangling City, which had already been discovered by the scouts of the Ming army, and hurriedly flew back to Huangling City to convey the message!
Zhao Xuanyi, who was sleeping, was woken up by a noise, Zhao Xuanyi got up, sat up and looked around, yes! didn't return to his own world, it seems that sleeping is not good, Zhao Xuanyi got out of bed and opened the door, only to see Shen Wei standing at the door with a nervous face.
"What's wrong early in the morning?" Zhao Xuanyi rubbed his eyes and said very dissatisfied.
"Young master, the Tatar army is less than a mile away from the city gate, and it will be there as soon as you speak!" Shen Wei said in his heart Although Zhao Xuanyi's change is very surprising, but now it is really fighting, and there is no room for the slightest joke!
When Zhao Xuanyi heard that the enemy army was coming, he panicked slightly, "Let's go, go to the city wall and have a look!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he walked out, but was stopped by Shen Wei, Zhao Xuanyi was very strange, "Brother Shen, what are you pulling me for?" β
"Young master, shouldn't you just go out like this?" Shen Wei asked in astonishment, the look in his eyes seemed to say that you are not well?
"Or else?" Zhao Xuanyi really didn't understand what Shen Wei meant!
Shen Wei turned his head to look at the soldiers on the side, "Take it!" β
"Yes!" Four soldiers walked into the room with various items in their hands.
Zhao Xuanyi looked at it, it was actually a set of armor? That is, armor! I've seen this thing in the TV series, and no one has ever worn it, so it's really fresh when I see it for the first time!
Shen Wei took a cloth tied around Zhao Xuanyi's chest, like a child's meal and vegetable soup, "This is to cover your arms and protect your neck and shoulders!" β
After that, he took two large pieces of armor: "This is the chest armor!" Zhao Xuanyi didn't ask, it was very similar to modern body armor, except that the inside was a piece of armor in the shape of fish scales, a plate in front and a plate in the back, and a leather rope in the middle!
Then there are two larger pieces of armor, both of which are cortical and iron-clad on the outside, and in the middle are the armor of fish scales, "This is a skirt armor!" "It looks like a skirt, but on the left and right, not like a cheongsam opening and closing before and after!
After that, there were two smaller pieces of armor, smaller than the breastplate: "This is the trouser armor, the falcon's tail!" Wearing it on his waist, Zhao Xuanyi looked down, one protected the little brother in the crotch, and the other protected the buttocks!
took out two more shining bright metal tiger heads, Zhao Xuanyi really didn't know what this was for, "This is shoulder swallowing!" After speaking, it was installed on Zhao Xuanyi's two shoulders!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at it, it turned out that he was doing this, and he saw that these two tigers swallowed their heads and shoulders vividly, mighty and domineering, very majestic, he liked it very much, but it was a little heavy!
Then put two armour on your arms, one on your waist, called the Waist, and finally a helmet! This is the end of it, when Zhao Xuanyi finished wearing this set of battle armor, he was dumbfounded!
This set of armor weighs nearly sixty catties, and the wonton on both shoulders looks majestic and domineering, but one is more than five catties, and it feels like there are two small mountains pressing on the shoulders, and the heavy armor of the whole body makes Zhao Xuanyi a little difficult to walk, let alone run to kill the enemy!
"Brother Shen? Do you have to wear this armor to go up? Zhao Xuanyi asked reluctantly.
"Of course!" Shen Wei didn't have the slightest room for tactfulness, and said directly.
Zhao Xuanyi gritted his teeth and took a heavy step, although it was very heavy, but it was not that he couldn't walk, or he was a little struggling, Shen Wei put a steel knife in Zhao Xuanyi's hand, "I wish the young master a victory!" β
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the leather scabbard in his hand, and said in his heart, I thank you so much, when the two of them led all the soldiers to the city wall, Zhao Xuanyi took a big breath, and at this moment he was already sweating, and the sweat on his face was like rain, why didn't the actors who were filming in Xindao sweat on their faces? Am I empty?
I saw that five hundred meters away, the Tatar army had already set up a formation, and in the front row were nearly a hundred vanguard soldiers with shields, then two hundred or so sword and axe men with weapons standing in the middle of the formation, and behind them were about two hundred archers with longbows and quivers!
There were nearly 100 cavalrymen armed with scimitars on the left and right, and all the soldiers had fierce eyes on their faces, and their murderous aura was scattered, as if they were their father-killing enemies, Zhao Xuanyi looked at the soldiers on his side from the corner of his eye, and found that most of them were already trembling with their legs, and they were scared!
After all, the momentum of the other party's formation and the oppression of the troops, it would be false to say that he was not afraid, and Zhao Xuanyi himself was panicked in his heart, but now that the troops are in the city, panic can't solve any problems!
And looking at the formation on the opposite side, Zhao Xuanyi smiled in his heart, this group of Tatar barbarians still knows tactics, and it is not like what is said in the game, they are just a group of reckless men without brains, looking at this formation, mobility, defense, offensive route, etc., it is estimated that the other party has already practiced it, and he really can't underestimate it!
