In the midst of the tabernacle, Anluo sat on the top, supporting his head with one hand and gently tapping the handle of his saber at his waist with the other, and waited quietly.

Suddenly, the curtain was lifted, and a tall and burly Turkic warrior broke in.

"Anluo, I see signs of a large army movement everywhere here, what is going on? In the pockets of our current Qi army, you must not act rashly and bury the lives of the Turkic sons in vain! ”

The person who came was Ashina, and when the defeat was decided, he fled in a hurry with his wolf riders and came to Anluo.

Now he no longer has the arrogance that he had when he went south to plunder, and the whole person seems to be a little more mature.

His original intention was to join forces with Anluo first, and then concentrate on tearing apart Gao Baoning's defense line and calmly returning north, but when he arrived at the camp, he found that he was in a state of preparation for war everywhere!

Anluo sat on the top, and when he saw that the general of the defeated army dared to show off his might here, he became more and more unhappy, and replied coldly: "Photograph, what are you doing?" ”

"We went deep alone this time, and completely got into the pockets of Qi people, and now we have fallen into the disadvantage, I naturally came to discuss countermeasures with you, what, can't I come?"

After the death of the Khan of Muzhu, the Turks were divided into two major armies that marched west and east, and there was already a tendency to divide forces in the future. The meaning of the Tuobo Khan is to follow the example of the Central Plains people to divide the feudal kings and share the responsibility of defending the land.

Camera, Anluo and a group of nobles, have got a lot of slaves and military horses, Anluo, the strength of the picture is equal, there are their own teams and vassals, although Anluo is nominally higher than the picture, but in fact the two sides have no subordinate relationship, since Anluo is willing to give the picture a hanging, the picture naturally does not need to put a good face on the picture.

In this defeat, everyone from the Eastern Route Army was worried. Whether there is enough gain, how to calm the anger of the clansmen and the leaders for the time being, whether they can return north safely is a big problem.

Originally, the situation was very good, and he led the army to the south and took the risk of attacking Yuyang, which did not mean to take the lead in setting off a war to win the opportunity to build momentum for the entire Eastern Route Army aristocratic group.

Originally, he was in contact with Anluo, urging him to go south quickly, and the two worked together to expand the results.

But Anluo didn't know what kind of psychology he had, he kept prevaricating and missed the best opportunity, so when the situation was very good, the situation was reversed!

Now Anluo is the first to bite to death, this is all the fault of the photo, even though the city is quite deep, but in the end it is young and vigorous, how can it withstand such humiliation? Therefore, the heart fire came out.

When he was angry, there was a bit of murderous overflow, and Anluo's face was blue and white, and he was uncertain. Then he turned his head and said:

"Don't be angry, my heart has been burning recently, so many of your soldiers and horses are going south, and only 30,000 people have not returned, how can you not be suspicious? I was about to gather my troops and gather the whole army to come to your aid, but you arrived first......"

The picture said coldly: "Qi people are brave, if I don't lead the army to risk thousands of deaths to go deep and disturb Youyan first, do you think you can still sit here comfortably now?" I am starving, stepping on ice and snow to cross the dangerous land, near the fortified city, sweeping Youzhou, you are comfortable outside the customs to rob women and goods, then the Great Khan knows, naturally knows who is right and who is wrong! ”

An Luo's face became more and more ugly, and he was about to be difficult, thinking of the courage of the photograph, and then thinking about the prestige and status of the photograph in the army, his heart was like pouring a scoop of cold water into the boiling soup, and he couldn't make a sound anymore.

If you really want to fight a bad battle here, even if you shift the blame to the photographer, you won't be able to escape.

However, thinking about the fact that when he went south, he refused to cooperate, and after all, there were still three points of anger, so he said:

"You are fortunate to be fighting in the south and in the north! Now the situation is difficult, don't I know? You can see it at a glance. There are so many sons and daughters in my department, and it is a lot of money for people to eat and chew horses, and it is impossible for all the army to come and entangle the Qi people under the fortified city, and what I have to do now is to pull out as many nails as possible that may hold us back. These are my subordinates, and I have the final say on how the battle will be fought! I've already thought of a perfect plan, if you want to cooperate, you can cooperate, if you don't want to cooperate, it's up to you, don't point fingers at me! ”

The night was low, and dark clouds piled up in the night sky, pressing down on the city. Inside and outside the army, only the cold wind howled. The moon only came up for a moment, and then disappeared, and this dark night could not be seen. If the brazier had not been lit, the sergeants guarding the place would not have known how to survive the long night. The light of the fire burning above the fence reflected the snow fluttering and rolling down in the air.

The fence was heavily guarded, and the sergeants patrolling back and forth were dressed in frost and carrying long lances. The soldiers resting in the tent gathered around the brazier to keep warm, and no one was in the mood to talk or chat, except to hear everyone sighing, rubbing their hands, and stomping their feet, hoping to drive away the biting cold. Gao Gong asked the guards to turn off the lights here, and then a little light reflected off the snow, and the probe looked into the distance.

Two miles away, there were a lot more tents. The sound of someone shouting and neighing horses came, and such a military horse camp seemed to be scattered, but in fact it was extremely heavily guarded. No one wants to go out at night and steal the camp and rob the village. These days, the military strength of the Turks is increasing, and it seems that they are about to make a big move, and during the day, a group of Turkic sentinels dragged a group of people who had come from nowhere, shouting in front of the village to persuade them to surrender.

These people were women and children, and there was a baby who was dragged behind a horse like an animal by the Turks in the winter. They looked at Gao Gong with a desperate look, and the sergeants were all dumbfounded, but Gao Gong still ordered the gate to be closed, and then ordered to shoot them, and the crossbowmen came up and shot at the group with crossbows.

Fifty crossbowmen, the feathered arrows shot can cover a small meadow, the Turks even brought these women and children under the feathered arrows, and when the crossbowmen stopped shooting, the grass in front of them was already covered by the black pressure of the feathered arrows, and everyone did not have time to run, and they were shot like hedgehogs.

Regardless of the dissuasion, Gao Gong personally dragged the horse out of the village, collected the corpses of the women and children who died tragically, and found a small swaddling baby in the arms of a woman with her back to the sky.

His mother blocked all the bows and arrows for him, and when Gao Gong gently picked him up, he happened to open his eyes, revealing a toothless gum, Gao Gong was expressionless, and stretched out his hand to tease him, he bit it and smacked it twice, of course, his fingers were not as sweet as the ** in front of his mother, and the little baby suddenly cried.

The guards were in a hurry to pick him up, but they were stopped by Gao Gong, who shook his swaddling clothes and coaxed him, and then said, "Find a nurse for him, and set it up beside my tent, and keep it warm." I owe him a mother, and from now on, I will raise him. ”

The North and the South have fought for so many years, the North and the nomads have also fought for so many years, hundreds of years, the memories of the people are always accompanied by blood and fire, and now they have ushered in a catastrophe. The Northern Dynasties were divided between the east and the west, confronting each other, and there was another Turk watching on the side, I don't know how many people broke their families, and how many surnames were wiped out!

This winter is too long. This troubled era is too long. I really hope that this damn chaotic era will end as soon as possible, and usher in the unification of the country and the rule of the world as soon as possible! Gao Gong stood on top of the fence, the cold wind was blowing in his face, and even his heart was cold.

Gao Gong's department was ordered by Gao Baoning's army, and it was suspended here, blocked in the north, and there was no southern aid for the time being. The main force of Gao Yanzong's division in the south didn't know when it would be able to go north. The military horses here are all miscellaneous, not only the unstable factor of the Khitans, but also many other military horses are still just recruited into the army, although most of the border people are skilled in bow and horse, but there are only eight hundred people who can fight and dare to fight who can be entrusted with the overall situation!

There is a strong enemy outside, and there is fear of change inside. Gao Gong was patient, tried his best to calm down the floating military spirit, and sorted out all the things in the city defense. A few hours of busyness. The guards and war equipment were counted and sorted out again, and the wood was used to prepare the boiling water to boil the gold juice. The defenders at the head of the city were further deployed, and the detailed arrangements were made again inside and outside the city, and even the dense deer barns outside the city were made and buried at night.

When Gao Gong had finished all the cooking, he summoned these old subordinates to discuss the matter to see what else needed to be improved, and to discuss all kinds of strategies for the upcoming war. Now that it is the autumn of survival, the generals are not polite, and everyone is arguing with reason and discussing it loudly.

"Simply dig up the only way, dig out the deep hao, and then plant the deer densely, and also learn from Wang Jun to bury the thistle. If they don't come, once they come, we will fight with strong bows and crossbows on several sides, to see if they have more people or more arrows? ”

"What's the use of guarding it? We are a fortress of wood and masonry, which is a cut shorter than the average city, not to mention the defense, and the Turks came to attack us because we threatened their backs! They will surely eat us first at all costs, and although we have abundant food and grass, we will be able to ...... If it's just trapped, there's no reason why it can't be broken! ”

"Alas, it's really breathless, this bird place, you can't go in and out, I really don't know how to live! The governor clearly made up his mind to take the initiative to attack, but he didn't make any moves, so why did he send me here first? Could it be that they sent us here to die? ”

"The Khitans are not of my race, are they willing to die? Even the rest of the more than 1,000 soldiers, most of them are newly recruited, and now they are besieged by heavy troops, so naturally people's hearts are fluctuating. There is a strong enemy outside, and the heart is floating, and it is difficult to defend this boundary! ”

"Although blindly defending is the next policy, but in today's situation, we can only take this policy," Gao Gong finalized the core content, "We have revealed the previous discussion, and the next thing to discuss is how to boost the morale of the army and how to defend this place!" What if there is internal turmoil? The allocation of money, food, armament, and soldiers, we must come up with a charter in the shortest possible time! ”

The generals discussed a lot, first talking about the defense of the village, and finally turned to the internal troubles that had begun in the army. All of them are circling around Gao Gong. Defend the city with stubbornness, rely on the strong city outside, and rely on the hearts of the people inside. Indispensable. How many fortifications were easily broken because of civil strife. As long as there are internal worries, this battle will not be fought well no matter what!

These rough billets are mixed in the army all the year round, although there is no ink in the stomach, but the experience is really not small, the three stinky generals can really be Zhuge Liang envoys, and when it is about to dawn, they have finally sorted out all the regulations. Gao Gong ordered people to transcribe it and send it down one by one, and from today onwards, the whole army will enter the most critical state of preparedness!

Gao Gong had just finished discussing and was planning to dismiss the generals and rest for a while. Suddenly, I heard the crow behind the cliff on the left, and Gao Gong's heart moved, out of the tent, the north wind was miserable, and the crow hovered in the low sky, and the cry was terrifying.

Gao Gong raised his eyes and looked over, and said in a daze: "This is really strange, it's the middle of the night, why are there crows?" ”

"The crows flew from the cliff over there, and I don't know what alarmed them."

"The cliff is so steep that monkeys can't climb over it, how can there be something?"

Gao Gong suddenly became vigilant, pointed to the lieutenant general, and ordered: "You go in person, tell the people in the stockade over there, be careful, and pay close attention to the movement on the cliff over there!" ”
