Volume 1 Strife and Troubled Times Chapter 8 The Old Wolf, the Old Dog and the Old Cake
Maybe it's God's mercy, or maybe it's the favor of the god of fate, Wang Rong's former Shi got the heavy responsibility of hooking and crashing into the car, and when the old dog, leopard and iron tower heard the news, their expressions became very solemn. Hook crash car, as the name suggests is used to hit the door, Xincheng as the frontier town of Yu National Defense Yongguo, the city gate is of course special, with hardwood as the main body, covered with iron sheet, fixed with round rivets, there is a jack gate on the outside of the city gate, and there are five horizontal wooden door latches inside the city gate, which can be said to be very solid.
It is a question whether these people in front of Wang Rong can walk to the city alive. Pei Zongyan directly summoned everyone to one place, his expression was quite normal, but the four people in Dongwu looked ugly, sitting opposite Wang Rong was the old wolf, his real name was Lang Zeqing, twenty-four or five years old, born in a good family, his ancestors were the Qilu clan in Guandong, and later because of the Lingyi system, the whole clan moved into Guanzhong, he liked to read since he was a child, and his martial arts were also very high, and he is currently the commander of Dongwu;
The tall and strong young man sitting next to the old wolf is a sledgehammer, named Yuan Tiangang, twenty-two years old, likes to use a sledgehammer, was born in a blacksmith family, and was sent to the army by his father, the reasons are more complicated, first of all, he is an adult, he should go out to find a living by himself, and secondly, he is too good to eat, and a few small ones in the family still have to eat, so he can only be ruthlessly sent into the army, and at least he is not hungry in the army;
Sitting next to the sledgehammer is Meng Song, born in the Meng family, as the companion family of the Dayong royal family, the Meng family can be said to be living and dying with the Qin family, and the rewards they get are also huge, one family and three marquis, the most beautiful concubine in the family also entered the palace as a concubine, Meng Song is a side branch of the Meng family, just an adult, is a little budding on the battlefield, he saw that Wang Rong of the same age has already done Wu Chang, and he is very envious in his heart;
Sitting next to Meng Song is a veteran who is already in his thirties, nicknamed Lao Cake, his real name is Bi Ziyan, this guy's resume is quite rich, he has been a captain, captain, uncle, captain and captain, originally, he was promoted to Lang to become a county lieutenant is very promising, but he has a full sense of justice and too bad temper, when he was stationed in Hongnong County, he met a captain of the same level who occupied a good woman, so he stepped forward to stop it, and moved the knife without saying a word, and directly hacked it to death.
Wei Zhonghui, the general of Andong who was presiding over the military meeting at Hangu Pass at that time, rushed to Luhun overnight after hearing the news, and turned Bi Ziyan into a small soldier on the spot, and at the same time ordered the family of the dead lieutenant not to be investigated. This is the basis and confidence for Wei Zhonghui to be able to calm things down.
Bi Ziyan looked at the old dog sitting opposite him with an unkind face, this old thing already owed him several times. The old dog looked at Bi Ziyan who was sitting in front of him, grinned, showed a mouth full of yellow teeth, and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
Bi Ziyan listened to the old dog's words and immediately replied: "Look at you, you owe the debt, pay back!" ”
When the old dog heard this, he was immediately happy: "Yo, Captain Bi, your big business is big, don't you miss my little money, why don't you slow down?" ”
Bi Ziyan's anger surged, and he said hatefully: "You! ”
Pei Zongyan really couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped the table and said angrily: "Okay, let's stop a little." ”
Bi Ziyan glared at the old dog angrily and closed his mouth, while the old dog smiled smugly at him.
"Old wolf, do you have any ideas for our next mission?" Pei Zongyan didn't have any problem with the two veterans, one used to be his top boss, and the other was his master, so he had no choice but to ask Lang Zeqing for advice to change the topic.
Lang Zeqing did not directly answer Pei Zongyan's question, but looked at Wang Rong, who was sitting opposite him, smiled slightly, and said: "What is the long forgiveness, my old wolf hasn't thought of any good ideas, why don't you let Zhong Ming talk about it first, young people have a lot of ideas, maybe they can use it." ”
Wang Rong listened to Lang Zeqing's words, and his heart sank, this old wolf really eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and he is not a few years older than himself, so he oppresses people with his predecessors.
After Wang Rong knew his previous task, he directly asked the old dog for advice. This hook crash car is not a lonely wooden shelf with four wheels and runs forward. The frame of the Hook Crash had a herringbone ridge built into it to shelter six to ten soldiers. A large log is used as a beam in the middle of the ridge, supported by oblique columns, pointed at the top and wide at the bottom. The roof ridge was covered with raw cowhide to guard against arrows, and four wooden wheels were placed under the frame for movement, and the city walls and gates were equipped with weapons.
During the siege, the soldiers approached the city wall or city gate under the cover of the hook collision car, and carried out siege operations such as digging tunnels, digging the city wall and hitting the city gate, so as to open up a way for the siege troops to enter the city.
Wang Rong's previous task was to push the hook crash car to hit the city gate, and the hook crash car assigned to them was equipped with a large log, and the pointed part was wrapped with a pig iron sheet.
Under the gaze of everyone, Wang Rong thought for a while, and then said to Pei Zongyan: "Shi Chang, we are not evenly armed, there are only nine people, so how to distribute our physical strength well is the problem we have to face." In the east and west, the tower and the sledgehammer are brave men, they can push on the back sides, while the others are divided on both sides and push in the front, so that the strength of the tower and the sledgehammer can save a lot, and when hitting the city gate, their strength is what we need the most. With one more person, I think the old dog can provide us with a vision, the old dog is alert, he can keenly perceive danger and warn us. ”
Pei Zongyan nodded while listening to Wang Rong's words, he knew his master quite well, this kind of pure physical work was too difficult for him, and it was just right for him to be a scout to observe the battlefield.
Bi Ziyan listened to Wang Rong's words, and was the first to object: "Hey, I said Xiwu Chief, you are too partial, why can this old dog not contribute, Lao Tzu is not convinced, I think I can also do his job." ”
Wang Rong is not afraid of Bi Ziyan, this guy is an outlier in the past, if he uses a good face, people will not appreciate it. Wang Rong said to him directly: "Captain Bi, I think you are not suitable to replace the old dog, first of all, you have not been engaged in scouting for so many years in the army, and the old dog was a scout at the earliest, even after so many years, he has not forgotten the scout skills." Secondly, you are a regimental captain, you eat and drink well every day, and you work hard all day long, and you must be stronger than an old dog.
For these two reasons, I didn't put you in the scout position, after all, our scout is not the same as the cavalry scout, and the danger factor is very high, and if you are not careful, you can easily be hit by the enemy's bows and arrows, crossbows, or rolling wooden stones. ”
Bi Ziyan listened to Wang Rong's words and shut up directly, although he heard Wang Rong's praise, but he always felt that something was wrong.
Pei Zongyan saw that Wang Rong had leveled the old boss who was the most stabbed, slapped the table, and said loudly: "Okay, just do what Zhong Ming wants." Cheer me up, tomorrow's battle is a matter of life and death, and I hope to see you all after the war. ”
Wang Rong took the old dog, the leopard and the iron tower back to his tent, and the old dog said to Wang Rong with a smile: "Haha, Wu Chang, you are really amazing." The old wolf didn't have a good heart, so you dissolved it, not bad. ”
Wang Rong bowed to the old dog and said modestly: "That's all the credit of the seniors, if there is no guidance from the seniors, the younger generations will not be able to answer so calmly." ”
The old dog waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "That's all your own understanding, and it has nothing to do with me." Well, it's not early, and I have to go to bed early when I'm old. With that, he turned to the back side, and in a short time there was the sound of snoring.
The leopard was silent, and he admitted in his heart that Wang Rong was indeed more suitable than him to be a captain. If he was so troubled by the old wolf, he would definitely not be able to be as calm as Wang Rong.
The tower didn't react much, and he came outside the tent with his two-handed knife to polish it with a whetstone.
Wang Rong turned to the back, came to his bamboo mat, and began to fiddle with his equipment, to be honest, the use of the moon blade axe and the quadrangular hammer is very simple, that is, smashing, using the power of stewed chicken to penetrate the armor to hurt the other party, so this must be brought, and the oblique blade is his main weapon, the cold blade reflects the cold light, Wang Rong sent the Ming knife into the scabbard and placed it under the grass seed pillow.
Wang Rong picked up his bow again and tried it, this bow is a composite bow composed of ox tendon and horn wood chips, slightly longer than the riding bow, shorter than the foot bow, can be used immediately under the horse, the bow force can reach three stones. Wang Rong carefully wiped the bow's arm, and then took off the bowstring and took good care of it. Then there was the crossbow with his arms, and Wang Rong pulled the crossbow string away with great ease, but he was not satisfied with such a rough way of pulling the string, and decided to improve the bow and crossbow when he was free, or at least to get the pulley up.
Time passed minute by minute, no matter what kind of mood and what kind of mind the soldiers in the entire barracks had. When the sun rose, rumbling drums rang out, and the whole camp shook. A group of soldiers came out of the tent and lined up neatly in a phalanx.
Qin Ke came out of the tent of the Chinese army, looked at the black pressure in front of him, and his heart was surging: "Wei Hua, look at it, my Dayong's warriors will definitely break through this city, and Lao Tzu wants you to kneel and see me break through Luoyang City and approach Bianliang." ”
He finally suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and then said to the guards around him: "Pass the order, everything will go according to plan, and the whole army will attack the city!" ”
"!!"
Immediately after the drumming, the flag was waved, and Wang Rong, under the leadership of Pei Zongyan, pushed the hook assigned to him and left the camp.
To tell the truth, this pure wooden hook was really heavy when it hit the car, and Wang Rong could clearly feel the heaviness as he pushed the car. Fortunately, there was no rain during this time, and the ground was dry, so if it had rained or rained to attack the city, the hook would have to sink into the mud. Wang Rong looked around, and he saw that there were almost a dozen hook crash cars heading towards Xincheng.
With the sound of Yongjun drums, Linchong Lu bus and ladder and other equipment also appeared, the catapult pushed out in the camp also stopped at a distance of five hundred steps from the city wall, the thick throwing rod was dragged down, the head basket was put on the big stone, after a whistle, the throwing rod was dragged up, the big stone in the basket was thrown far away to the city wall, smashed on the city wall, the stirred up gravel scattered, the Yu soldiers who were in array swept away, and the blood was instantly smeared on the city wall.
