"The first climber, the knight is promoted to the fifth level! Bestow a thousand gold! ”

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system and was still a twentieth-level military merit title.

Upgrading to five levels in one go, even under the premise that Dahan deliberately devalued the title, is a great promotion.

As for the daughter, one gold is worth ten thousand dollars, and the thousand gold is ten million dollars!

Dahan is a middle-class family here, and it only starts with 100,000 yuan.

10 million dollars, that is the kind of rich people, houses, yards, cars, and countless girls.

Moreover, Li Yunze's rewards are all Zhongshan gold coins, which are highly sought after and loved because of their full weight and excellent workmanship. Its actual value is more than 10,000 dollars.

In the face of such a rich reward, the eyes of the soldiers of the Han army who attacked Shiling Pass were red.

Isn't that what they are doing in the army?

Hundreds of Han army armor soldiers, holding shields in one hand and soldiers in the other, gritted their teeth with red eyes and rushed straight to the pass.

Shiling Pass is here, dozens of miles away from Xiurong County in the north, and Yangqu County is out of the valley in the south.

The terrain is treacherous, the road is narrow, and a pass, which is not very strong, chokes the road between the steep mountains.

Shiling Pass is not big, the left and right are only more than ten zhang, and the city wall is only a few zhang high.

There are only a few hundred Huns guarding here.

It's not that I don't want more people to stick to it, but the environment here really can't accommodate more people.

The Huns on the city wall shot arrows desperately, and it was really a rain of arrows like splashing water.

The lethality of the Huns' bows and arrows is like that, and it may be of some use when dealing with leather armor, but in the face of ironclad soldiers, the greatest use is to shoot the surging armor soldiers into hedgehogs.

A hedgehog with arrows on his armor.

Because of the tight time, it was too late to make large siege equipment such as goose carts, rushing carts, and columbian carts.

The Han soldiers simply carried a ladder made of wood and stepped forward, erected directly against the head of the city.

This ladder is not a ladder.

The so-called ladder is a regular large-scale siege equipment.

Regular ladders, the base has wheels to push, as well as shields, winches, grappling hooks and other equipment.

With a pulley lifting device, the ladder can be erected and leaned against the head of the city, and the front end of the ladder is also equipped with hook claws to jam the city wall and not be overturned.

It's a very complex precision instrument that basically resembles a fire truck in the modern world.

A ladder, on the other hand, is nothing more than a climbing tool tied up with a rope of wood.

The Huns were very powerful on horseback, but they were blind when defending and attacking the city.

Because there were no cities on the prairie, they naturally had no experience in this area.

Seeing that bows and arrows were of little use to the armorers, these men on horseback who did not know what was called gold juice, what was called ash bottle, what was stone rolling wood, and what was called yaksha beating, when they saw the ladder leaning in front of them, they also did not know that at this time they had to use a fork pole to overturn the ladder that flew to climb the city.

It was precisely because Li Yunze knew this that he was relieved and bold to attack the city in such a primitive and backward way.

The bully is that you don't understand!

What really caused damage to the Han soldiers was the stones thrown down by the Xiongnu defenders in a hurry.

It's a pity that they woke up too late, and the Han army armor soldiers were only smashed down by dozens of people, and the front ones had already jumped onto the city.

The armor soldier who was the first to enter the city struggled to wave the bones in his hand and smashed the head of the Huns in front of him directly in front of him.

Letting more than a dozen weapons of all kinds beckon on his armor, he mustered all the strength of his body to hold the shield in front of his chest, and pushed forward with all his strength to open the gap and fight for the position of his companions behind him.

The soldiers behind him jumped onto the city one after another, roaring, scolding, and screaming echoed in the narrow valley, even Li Yunze, who was miles away, could hear it clearly.

Li Yunze, who retracted his gaze, turned his head and instructed the master father, "This place is broken, and quickly organize the people of Xiurong County to repair it." The garrison was sent to the pass as a unit, and the large battalion moved forward and set up camp behind the pass. ”

After the master father Yan took the order and left, Li Yunze turned to the side and ordered Gongsun Hong, "Quickly send a messenger to inform the former general, and order him to urge the army to sweep and oppress to the north, and force the Huns in Taiyuan County to enter the mountain!" ”

"Whoa."

Gongsun Hong was about to leave after receiving the order, but was stopped by Li Yunze, "Also, send a messenger to report the soldiers and horses around Taiyuan County, saying that this king has an order, and all the departments are bravely moving forward to attack the Huns, and those who have meritorious deeds will not be stingy with rewards!" ”

Rewarding this thing is too lethal.

The biggest reason why Xiang Yu lost to Liu Bang a hundred years ago was that Xiang Yu was grinding his bald skin with the big seal, and he was reluctant to reward the big guys.

But Liu Bang made a wish to be an official, and he gave whatever he wanted, and even the king was sealed many times.

When Han Xin begged for the title of marquis, Liu Bang directly named him king!

As a result, almost everyone, including Xiang Yu's generals, took refuge in Liu Bang's command.

No matter how fierce Xiang Yu is, even if one person can really beat 10,000 people?

As a result, it was divided into many parts.

Of course, later Liu Bang began to kill heroes and take back those titles, which were all routine operations.

As long as the reward is in place, the Han army can definitely fight to the death without retreating.

The battle at Shiling Pass ended quickly, and most of the hundreds of Huns guarding it were killed, and only a few escaped on horseback and headed south for Yangqu County.

The first soldier to climb to the top of the city was named Zhao Yi, and he was born as a county soldier in the Zhongshan Kingdom.

He got the first to get the first place, but the price for this was that he broke an arm.

Although he is wearing iron armor, when facing heavy weapons, it is inevitable that he will hurt his muscles and bones.

Li Yunze fulfilled his promise on the spot, and promoted Zhao Yi's title level from the rank of a sergeant, and promoted him to the rank of the eldest prince in one go.

Immediately, a box full of 1,000 gold coins was also sent to the wounded barracks with Zhao Yi.

The rest of the meritorious soldiers were rewarded at all.

And this is the foundation of the Han family's determination to forge ahead and sweep the world.

Historically, after Liu Yu respected Confucianism, he limited the people's famous fields and no longer allocated land to Chengding men.

Investigate the virtuous and upright (only recognize Confucianism) and reduce the promotion space of those who have been promoted through military merit.

Set up martial arts lords, each level of money 170,000, buy martial arts lords, priority to serve.

Citizens are limited to carrying bows and crossbows, and there is no way for them to become familiar with ordnance before joining the army.

Since then, the military merit system has been seriously damaged, and there are fewer and fewer people who are conscripted.

With the increasing seriousness of land annexation, there are fewer and fewer homesteaders, and the combat effectiveness is getting worse and worse.

The end result is to promote the rule of civilian officials, thus abolishing martial arts.

In the two hundred years of the Western Han Dynasty, the seeds of its demise were actually planted from the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Before dark, Huyan and Lin, who came to reinforce on the orders of Da Dan Yu, hurried to the scene with more than 1,000 horsemen from the tribe.

Looking at the banner of the Han army fluttering on the Shiling Pass not far away, the furious Hu Yan and Lin cut off the head of the previous rout, "Why can't you hold on for a while, as long as you hold on for another half a day, I'll be there!" ”

Although this person was arrogant, he never thought that he could recapture such a dangerous pass with only a thousand cavalry around him at this time, exhausted by hurrying.

"Set up camp and fight when the people behind arrive."

Hu Yan and Lin forgot one thing, or rather, he was so arrogant that he neglected the practice of not getting too close to the Han army.

When the Xiongnu reinforcements built the camp in a valley only a few miles away from Shiling Pass, everyone watching from the city all laughed.

"These Huns, who fought too smoothly before, dare to despise us so much."

"King, the last general is willing to lead the troops to attack the enemy camp at night!"

"King, this matter should be left to the last general."

The Huns who were building a camp a few miles away were a few miles away, and in the eyes of the Han army, this was a swaying military achievement.

"Then go ahead."

Li Yunze observed for a while, and quickly made a decision: "Select 300 people who dare to fight to break the camp first, and 1,000 people from the rear army will accompany you." ”

"喏~~~"

The soldiers of the Han Army, whose morale is high, are all enthusiastically signing up.

Wei Qing also signed up and was successfully selected into the ranks of the 1,000-person team of the rear army.

Li Yunze didn't know about this, it was Wei Qing's own eagerness to fight.

In the previous battle in Mayi County, Wei Qing won the fifth level when he was pursuing with the army, and one of them was still a member of the Qiulin tribe.

After the war, he was promoted to a hairpin and could be appointed as a tun chief.

It's just that now that I am fighting with the army, I can only remember it first.

Wei Qing, who eats the marrow and knows the taste, didn't take the wheel when he attacked Shiling Pass before, after all, he is a cavalryman. The desire for military exploits led him to sign up for the night raid again.

Li Yunze, who learned of this, smiled after the meeting.

Your life is your own, and your path is your own choice.

Whether he can survive and get ahead depends on his personal fate.

The three hundred daring soldiers were all elite foot soldiers, stimulated by military exploits and rewards, daring to sneak out of the pass in the dark, and smearing towards the camp of the Huns.

Li Yunze, who was at the head of the city, crossed his arms and silently looked at the dark valley in the distance.

Dark clouds were gathering tonight, and the moonlight was hidden behind the dense dark clouds, providing ample shelter for the night attack.

Although many Han Chinese defected to the Xiongnu, it is clear that at least the tribe did not understand the essence of the Middle-earth War.

The chat sentry they sent was not only quickly discovered, but also easily dealt with by the Han army.

In the barracks, there are a lot of angry lanterns, and even many bonfires are lit, just like in the past.

Such a conspicuous firelight naturally made the best guidance for the Han army.

Huyan and Lin also had no choice, it was dark after the hasty camp, and the warriors who marched all the way also needed to eat and drink, and the livestock needed to be fed.

If you don't light a fire, you can't do anything.

When the Han army dared to knock down a large section of the fence and rushed into the camp with torches, Hu Yan and Lin, who were eating roast lamb legs, immediately scolded.

"Han'er is despicable! Don't dare to confront the warriors of the Great Huns, only dare to use such sneak attack methods, it's really despicable! ”

Such incompetent rage is of no use.

The gate of Shiling Pass was opened, and the impatient rear team of thousands of horsemen who had been waiting for a long time rushed out and went straight to the camp of the Huns.

At this time, Li Yunze turned around and went down the wall, "This king will go to rest, and the specific results will be informed to this king tomorrow." ”

All the staff and lieutenants saluted together, "Congratulations to the king~~~"
