Chapter 75: The Shroud of Lonely Loyalty-12
Daxuan calendar, June 19 of the fourth year of Xingde, in order to solve the doubts of Xiguan, Emperor Bo Qihong of the imperial history Wu Nai, is rushing to the inner pass "Luoxian City" non-stop.
At this moment, in the desert of Waiguan, the "Yuchuan City" waiting for the soldiers to come to rescue has been surrounded by Dinu's soldiers and horses.
"Hey, evergreen, come and see, the thief is here again. Hahahaha, a big deal, let alone 20,000 people. ”
It was Liu Cangshui, the guard of Yuchuan City, who spoke, he was tall and straight, and although he was wearing old and broken armor, he still looked heroic. It's a pity that the traces of time are deeply engraved on his face, and the few silver filaments leaking from the cracks of his helmet and the many old wounds on his face all tell how many ups and downs the old general has experienced.
"Old general, how many people do you have to spare? The other side has 20,000 people, and we have 300 people, so you are not nervous?"
The person who replied had a cold tone, he looked only in his twenties, he looked dignified, but his expression was slightly cold. Obviously, he was asking the old general Liu Cangshui why he didn't know that the enemy was outnumbered and he was not nervous, but his tone was cold and he looked like he had no fluctuations.
Liu Cangshui laughed again: "Hahahaha, Liu Changqing, you kid is not small." A mere lieutenant dared to contradict the general. ”
Liu Changqing looked at the black and oppressive Dinu army, and returned coldly: "The general with only three hundred people, you are embarrassed to say it, the old general." Moreover, I brought two hundred. ”
Although Liu Cangshui was still smiling after hearing this, there seemed to be a trace of sadness between his eyes, and he said: "You kid knows a fart, who told you that this general only has 300 people? I still have 5,000 brothers buried under this Yuchuan City! All of them will always be my soldiers." ”
Liu Changqing didn't reply after listening, his cold face seemed to be touched a little, perhaps, he felt that there was something wrong with what he had just spoken, but he didn't express anything.
Liu Cangshui asked a white-haired veteran on the side, "Old Xu, how is the arrangement?"
The veteran who called Lao Xu returned: "General, the old brothers have been arranged to the position where they should be, don't worry, they haven't been told to gnaw down for fifty years, and today they are told to go back obediently!"
Liu Changqing turned his head and said, "Elder Xu, although your people are good at fighting, but they are also old, this front line should still be on the front line of our breechers." You should go to the tower, and shoot arrows with a bow there, and don't you kill the enemy?"
Lao Xu smiled: "Captain Liu, I have good intentions, this is Yuchuan City, we are not on the front line, who is on the front line? Don't think we are old, you can watch it in a while." The last hundred or so of our old buddies didn't survive by luck. ”
Liu Changqing didn't say more, but turned his head to Liu Cangshui and asked: "Old general, we are here to save people, you are going to die, aren't we here for nothing?"
Liu Cangshui laughed heartily: "Hahahahaha! Changqing, how can there be a reason for the elders to let the younger ones stand in front of them? Have you ever seen a family where the father is not protecting the son? Go, where there are no people standing on the city wall on both sides, you can arrange some people, and we must come to the front." As for the tower, you can arrange for a few of your archers to go up. ”
Liu Changqing didn't pay much attention to it, and directly refuted: "No." ”
Liu Cangshui suppressed his smile, and immediately ordered Liu Changqing seriously: "Don't be wordy! Soldiers must obey orders! Liu Changqing, take your people to guard the left and right gates, even if this Yuchuan City is a lonely mountain and a high city, only the front has a slope to climb, and the two wings and the back wall are not allowed to have any mistakes, do you understand!?"
Liu Changqing immediately stood up straight and returned: "Order! General, I have a request." ”
Liu Cangshui asked, "What's the matter?" But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Liu Changqing raised his right hand, raised his index finger and said, "Is it okay to leave only one person at the main gate? ”
Liu Cangshui looked at Liu Changqing, this kid was not polite, nor was he joking, he seemed to be really worried about their group of old bones.
Liu Cangshui patted Liu Changqing on the shoulder, and then said with a playful look: "Liu Changqing, Liu Changqing, you still don't trust us old guys." Alright, leave you alone in the main city, and ask your people to guard the other three sides, and don't leave their posts without an order!"
"Order!"
Just when the fortifications in Yuchuan City began to be arranged, a Dinu man slowly walked towards this lonely city with a truce flag and a horse.
Walking up from the vast ramp outside the city, this not very large jade mountain looks particularly tall. Perhaps because of the desolation of the surrounding area, this Yuchuan Castle located on the mountain looks particularly desolate, as if as long as the army of Dinu rushes up, this city can fall into the bag.
But as soon as you look at the old but strong city wall, look at the white hair on the city wall, and look at the vicissitudes of life, the complacent messenger feels daunted in an instant.
The envoy of Dinu came to the city, and his truce had a good effect, so that he was not shot into a hedgehog by a bow and arrow. Then, he shouted to the city wall in a not-so-standard big Xuan language: "Old General Liu Cangshui of the Xuan Empire! Our prince Lan Huer has something to tell you! Please listen to Old General Liu!"
Liu Cangshui poked his head out of the city wall and asked the envoy below: "Oh? This is the first time that the army has pressed the border, and you prince Lanhuer still want to come to play this set of words? It is nothing more than to sacrifice the high-ranking officials of the city, I am about to memorize your set, less nonsense! If you want to fight, you will fight, give me less ink! Get out!"
The envoy looked at Liu Cangshui with an embarrassed expression, and then said, "This time is different!
Liu Cangshui smiled, and then said jokingly: "Oh, what? Can you play new tricks this time? Come on, come on, let's listen." ”
When the envoy saw that Liu Cangshui was willing to listen, he regained some smiles on his face, and hurriedly said to Liu Cangshui respectfully: "Old general! And I also want to ask the old general to be the king of Nanju, and the children and grandchildren can be hereditary, as long as they ......"
Liu Cangshui smiled: "Hey, little rabbit cub, you don't have any new tricks, it's still the same as the official mantle." It's boring!
The envoy was unmoved when he heard that Liu Cangshui was unmoved, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Old general! The territory held by our Great Khan has long surpassed your Daxuan! In terms of strength, Daxuan has long been unable to compare with us! You are a talented person, and you are a hero admired by all of us in the grassland, so why should you be a little Daxuan general? As long as you surrender the city and surrender, you will be the generalissimo of the prison country above 10,000 people under one person! Even our prince will have to be respectful when he sees you in the future!"
Liu Cangshui no longer paid attention to his words, but just pulled his bow and arrows and aimed at the messenger, and the messenger was so frightened that he immediately turned his horse's head and fled.
Liu Cangshui shouted loudly to the fleeing envoys: "Tell your prince Lan Huer! His father Lan Xubu has told me to die! How old is he!?Tell him! His grandfather Liu Cangshui is waiting for him here! Let him personally take the lead in attacking the city if he has a kind! I will definitely screw off his head and make a pot for the night!"
