After defending the city for six days, Mei Yingyi was untied, and the south gate tower became the county lord's account. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Kantar is a good general, and he can slip away faster than a rabbit when the opportunity is bad. Yu Wenjie didn't know whether to praise or depreciate, when the mercenaries retreated, she wanted to take the cavalry out of the city to pursue, but fortunately let Mei Ying pull it: "Build a wooden bridge, people turn around and rush, should you meet the enemy or tear down the bridge, you go to death or try to communicate with the enemy." ”
"County Lord, it's not a good strategy to blindly defend it, Kantar will react soon, we don't have enough gunpowder to deal with the fence, and the advantage of the moat will be less than half, so that the mercenaries can play to their strengths in cavalry and archery, and the casualties of the cadets will definitely increase. ”
Hu Li sat in front of the window, looking at the mercenary company camp looming in the distance, Kantar's forward had advanced to less than three miles from the moat, and the siege of the city had never been dispatched for six days, it was clearly waiting, waiting for the moat to be filled in and shooting at the cadets to cover the infantry digging the city wall.
"What about the damage to the city wall?" Mei Ying has always been worried that Tucheng will not be able to withstand the destruction of trebuchets, and she has to go around every day to inspect it, but after all, she has not experienced actual combat and can't see the real damage, Hu Li comforted her: "Don't worry too much about the city wall, according to such an attack, it can withstand it, even if there are a few collapses, the heavy infantry can plug the gap, and the reserves have time to repair it." ”
"A moat, 20,000 people and half a month of sweat, Qing'er has estimated, nearly 30,000 mercenaries have been killed and wounded, and it's time for Kantar to fill in. Please send the order to the commander of the regiment, after the mercenaries cross the river, the battalions should not worry about the supply of crossbow arrows, and if the situation is not urgent, try to avoid short-handed combat. ”
Hu Li was stunned for a moment and then rejoiced: "Your Highness, does it have to use a killing move in advance?" Mei Ying nodded and was about to speak, but when she saw Yan Ning walking in, she couldn't help it, and turned around to ask about the casualties of Yuwenjie's escort battalion, how cunning Hu Li was, and after a little thought, he understood that it was difficult for the two to agree, so he slipped away happily under the pretext of adjusting the deployment.
"What kind of killer move?" Mei Ying wanted to avoid it, but who knew which pot Yu Wenjie didn't open and which pot, and shook out the words again, with a look of eagerness and excitement, probably wanting to lead the team in person, Yan Ning chuckled: "Sister will tell you." Biting her ear and whispering for a long time, Yu Wenjie also wanted to slip away after knowing it, but Mei Ying blocked the door early: "Don't go, do you want to go in advance? ”
Unwilling to go against Mei Ying's intentions, and not wanting Yan Ning to suffer a secret loss, Yu Wenjie was in a dilemma, and held back for a long time and spit out two words: "Benefits?" While Mei Ying and Yan Ning were stunned, they jumped out of the window directly, and they couldn't see the figure in the blink of an eye, the two people in the city tower smiled awkwardly, Yan Ning blinked and asked, "Is there no reason?" Mei Ying's answer was more concise: "Eldest sister." Yan Ning clapped his hands and stood up: "Then let's go ahead, remember, you have to compensate for my losses in the future." ”
With a big sister, the two of them reached an agreement in a few words, but they didn't know that Hua Yue was worried at this time.
According to Hua Zifei's plan, the Sixth Patrol people who stayed in the desert should first find a good foothold to hide, and wait for the military station to relax their vigilance before making a move, so as to avoid attracting the attention of the sunset in advance. There was no contact between the patrols, Hua Yue didn't know the specific situation, she led the team around the Sunset border that night, and quietly slipped through the towns and tribes, and on the night of the sixth day, she moved her hands, and the target was the post station in the Sunset territory.
In addition to the messengers who delivered military orders and the tolerance of the government, the transport captains stayed the most frequently, and arranged the escorts and miscellaneous servants to live in tents in the wilderness, and ran to the post station with the leaders of their cronies to live happily.
Imjin Station, more than 500 miles away from the sunset border, the west is close to the north-south mountain range, not far in front of the door is the main road in and out of the mountain, a few miles away from the east is the river formed by the stream, the river is not wide but the water flow is turbulent, a three-hole stone bridge becomes the only passage for more than 100 miles from north to south, there is a centurion leading the team to garrison the east bank all the year round, the pedestrians and caravans in the past are few to dot, it is a veritable fat difference. Compared with the centurion who made a fortune easily, although the post station was an army establishment, and the shopkeeper also hung the official title of centurion, he did a job of serving people, and it was common for him to be scolded and angry.
If you are poor, you think about change, and I don't know which one is the shopkeeper, so I came up with a clever plan to make a fortune. The mountain road in and out of the west of Imjin Post is nearly 100 miles long, and the nearest town in the east is also 100 miles away, most of the caravans will rest for one night and then go on the road, then the business will come, the caravan will climb for a long time, and there is a rare opportunity to spend money, in line with the principle of convenience with others and their own convenience, the shopkeeper of Imjin Post bought a female slave girl out of his own pocket, and since then no one has spent money to go to the door and want to transfer away. The governor who received the benefits on time naturally turned a blind eye, and later some people simply went on official business and legalized the sale of prostitutes by issuing an official document to Imjin Post to manage the camp prostitutes.
It is difficult to verify when the camp prostitute originated, but it has existed for a long time in the five countries of the Luofeng Continent, especially when a protracted war breaks out, and it will even attract the attention of the high-level as an effective measure to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army and curb the violation of discipline by energetic young soldiers. In recent decades, there has been no war between the Three Kingdoms, and the camp prostitutes are rarely mentioned, but they have never disappeared.
There are only forty or fifty people in the Imjin Station, plus all kinds of miscellaneous servants, Hua Yue took advantage of the night to lead the people to surround them, and personally led the troops to touch it, and it didn't take much twists and turns to cut one by one. Throwing the corpse into the river to feed the fish, cleaning up the blood stains on the ground, arranging for the shrewd and sunset speaking students to change into post guard costumes, and the others pretending to be miscellaneous servants, the Imjin post station changed its owner at dawn.
The soldiers who attacked the post station, I didn't know whether the camp prostitute should be killed, so I had to lock it up and wait for the standard to grow and fall, Hua Yue's personal army team was all female soldiers, and I saw dozens of camp prostitutes dressed in fancy clothes and branches, crying like pear blossoms and rain, and learned that most of them were the family members of the criminal ministers, and there was sympathy in the disgust, and there was no difference between killing or not killing, so that Hua Yue had no idea. If you stay and are not careful, you will expose your identity as a cadet, and you are even more worried about luring bad young male soldiers, and you feel that it will hurt you when you kill them, after all, they are forced to embark on this road of shame.
"Sir, the soldiers guarding the stone bridge, someone will come every few days and kill us, how can you deal with it then?"
Rolling in the wind and dust, accustomed to seeing all kinds of people, etc., the ability to figure out people's hearts is the specialty of camp prostitutes, seeing that the soldiers changed into the clothes of the post station, an older woman had the courage to plead.
"Threaten me? Hua Yue was the only one who was still wearing the armor of the soldier, and his beautiful face was set off by the military uniform, and he felt filthy when he saw the prostitute, and he was busy crying and shouting: "I'm telling the truth, you are not very old, pretending to be a jailer is easy to arouse suspicion, if we don't deal with it, your identity will soon be revealed." ”
"If you tell people quietly, we will be exposed faster!" One of the pro-soldiers drew his knife, grabbed the hair of the camp prostitute and was about to drag it out, the other camp prostitutes were so frightened that they all knelt and trembled, some of the pro-soldiers wanted to say a few good words for them, but they were afraid of angering Hua Yue, so they turned their heads and didn't want to see the scene of the massacre.
"Keep it first, lock it up and keep it under strict guard, no male soldier is allowed to approach!" Hua Yue really had no choice, let her go alone to attack the hundreds of people The Shiqiao defenders would not frown, and ordered the slaughter of innocent camp prostitutes, no matter how ruthless.
The camp prostitute kowtowed a thousand thanks, and let the soldiers take them to the backyard, Hua Yue was so worried that she really wanted to find someone to beat her, and the words of the camp prostitute reminded her that it was not easy to deceive the people who passed by, and the defenders and post guards of the stone bridge were all familiar faces, and suddenly they didn't know anyone, and anyone would be suspicious. Being in enemy territory, the slightest negligence may be surrounded by the enemy, she may be able to kill it, but the subordinate students can't survive a few, not to mention the female soldiers of the pro-guards, let alone fall into the hands of the sunset.
"Commander, let's kill one when you come in, why worry about someone leaking the news. ”
The captain of the guard is the female deceased of the Hua family, mentioning killing is like pinching an ant to death, the killing machine is not commensurate with age, Hua Yue is worried, so angry that he slapped the wheel over, the captain of the guard did not dare to hide, but Hua Yue's hand turned in the air and scraped down her nose.
"Kill the defenders on the bridge, who is going to pretend?! The sunset will soon notice the abnormality. If you don't kill someone, you can recognize people, I'm worried to death, and I am not allowed to have bad ideas again. ”
Since the dead man came to Hua Yue's side, he has suffered a lot of punches and feet, but that was in training, in addition to this, he has never been punished, the young lady protects her everywhere, and today she can stop her hand in time under anger, so that the captain of the guard feels warmer in his heart, and he muttered while rubbing his nose: "It is said that the official is crushed to death at the first level, and I will find it back in a while." ”
"Wait!" Hua Yue ran over and hugged her, with a smile on his face: "Otherwise, you can shave me, and you are not allowed to bully others." How dare the captain of the guard be presumptuous, Hua Yue grabbed her hand and scratched it on his nose, and then explained: "You go and tell the captain that when the defenders on the stone bridge came, they said that there was a boss living in the post station, yes, they said that Wuzong came to Wangcheng, and everyone else pretended to be mysterious, and gave him a question and shook his head." ”
"If people want to ask why they have all changed people, how do you say?" Before the captain of the guard finished speaking, Hua Yue raised his fist: "I want to be able to figure it all out, what do you captains want to do!" Go, tell the others, think for yourself, and after thinking about it, talk to each other and make up the lie. Whoever shows his bottom fine, be careful that I beat him. ”
"Miss, ah, Captain, who are you pretending to be? In my opinion, anyone who pretends to be is allowed to be exposed. ”
Hua Yue raised his head proudly: "Not only me, but also the personal guards, where is such a beautiful fairy at sunset, giggles, we will pretend to be prostitutes." "The captain of the guard was frightened, although it was a wartime pretense, it was still a sensation in the city when it was transmitted to Kyoto, and the face of the Huagong Mansion was too deviant.
"What are you afraid of! Wind and dust are wonderful, why don't we pretend to be one. Giggles, who dares to insist on seeing people, according to what you just said, come and kill one by one, it is said that it has angered Lord Wuzong. The more Hua Yue thought about it, the happier he became, and he was so happy that he almost jumped up in the room: "Wuzong, of course, I will dress up by the way, you guys are too slow, gurgling, the Sunset Empire is going to spread the news that there is Wuzong hidden in the camp prostitute, I don't know what kind of chaos will become." ”
The captain of the pro-soldier really wants to ask his own standard commander, are you here to kill people or to make a joke, break into the hinterland of the sunset and pretend to be a post guard to intercept the enemy, it is already bold, and then make a joke about the camp prostitute and the martial arts, no one will teach you a lesson after you go back, and the pro-soldiers will not let the old lady cramp and peel the skin. Secretly made up his mind, if someone didn't know each other, the pro-soldier team would start in advance, and never let Hua Yue show up in the clothes of a camp prostitute, and only said to the outside world that the commander was dressed as a sunset martial artist.
Hua Yue didn't think much about it, but after the captain of the personal soldiers went out, he led people to kill all the prostitutes, and anything that might endanger the safety of the young lady and tarnish the reputation of the young lady, as a close protection of the dead soldiers in Washington, they would be eliminated if they found any signs. When Hua Yue learned that everything was irreparable, he would not mention it again after scolding a few words, there were too many unwillingness in the war but he needed to learn to accept it, and this was by no means a good time to hold him accountable.
