151 First Encounter 2

"Squat down and fire!" With a shout... a burst of fire and roar flashed in the darkness. The dozen Jin soldiers in the front seemed to be struck by lightning, and their bodies fell to the ground with a violent shock. However, these Hu people who grew up outside the Great Wall were almost born to struggle on the line of life and death. They were extremely brave and still rushed up with a strange cry. The soldiers of Wu, who had fired firearms, hurriedly retreated into the ranks of spearmen behind them. Due to the difficulty of loading in the darkness, they no longer loaded the bullets, but pulled out their swords and turned to their wings, preparing to surround the enemy.

"Stand firm!" The officers of the Wu army shouted loudly. Due to the wading and sneak attacks, these Wu soldiers did not carry the two spears that they usually use, which are thirteen or fourteen feet long, but only a short spear that is nine feet long. As the saying goes, "One inch long, one inch strong." The battle formation is different from a single battle. Tens of millions of people are arranged in a formation, with hand and blades intersecting, arrows are like rain, and they cannot move and dodge. The difference between armor and soldiers is strong. The difference between these few feet is often a difference between life and death. Only a burst of neighing and screaming from the horses. The six or seven cavalry in the front of the Jin army had fallen off the horse, and some were shot several times and could not see them alive. However, under their impact, more than ten people fell into the Wu army formation and tore a hole open. Although the Jin army behind could not tell what was ahead in the darkness, they still rushed forward and killed both sides into a group.

As the battle continued, more and more Wu soldiers came up from the river bank and began to attack the flanks of the Jin army. These Jin soldiers who were responsible for not taking them at night were all veterans. Seeing that the situation was wrong, they turned around and fled. Although many of them were shot and killed in the back, six or seven were quick and snatched the horses and galloped away. The Wu soldiers were all infantry and could not catch up, so they had to watch them escape.

"Captain, how should we do now?" The first flag head reported to the captain who was directing the night attack. He had a short figure and was very strong. Standing there, he looked like a stone pier, with a black and red face covered with smoke and blood. I don't know if it was the enemy or his own.

The captain looked into the distance and saw a sound of horns coming from the front camp of the Jin army in the distance, echoing in the night sky, which seemed particularly desolate. Obviously, the gunshots just now had already alarmed the Jin army's outpost. Although as a guest army who was not familiar with local geography, the Jin army general was unlikely to send troops to attack, but it was obviously unrealistic to continue the night attack plan. The captain looked around. Under the firelight, forty or fifty corpses or injured were lying on the ground. The soldiers of the Wu army were helping their injured companions to the water. As for the wounded members of the Jin army, it was naturally a result of one blow. There were six or seven people fumbled on the corpses of the Jin army under the supervision of the team leader to see if they had any money. According to the Wu army's military laws, these items were owned by the soldiers and low-level officers. There were six or seven unowned war horses not far away, which were not too late for the escaped Jin army to take them away.

"Take the injured brothers onto the boat, take away the dead, don't leave them for the Jin thieves to ruin them! Cut the heads and there are these horses! Let's go back to the city!"

Hearing this, the flag head immediately had a smile on his face and quickly responded: "Yes!" Wu's military achievements were the most important. He had just passed the first step and beheaded two levels, which could be at least one level. With the transmission of the order, Wu's military accelerated its movements. After half a cup of tea, the place returned to peace, leaving only a headless corpse on the ground.

In the Jin army commander's tent, Li Siyuan sat in the middle, and a military officer knelt on the ground and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, the Bing thief in the front camp was attacked by Wu thieves last night. Twenty-one people were killed, Ma Shisan fled back eight people, and all the armored guards were abandoned!"

"Where is the whistle commander?" Li Siyuan asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Chief of the Sweeping Army has been killed in battle!"

Li Siyuan stood up straight and said in a deep voice: "Although the chief of the whistle was outnumbered, he did not surrender until the battle. He rewarded fifty pieces of silk. The family was given three years to redeem the lieutenant. Yinzi was the captain of the Rong; the rest of the soldiers who died in battle were given three years to redeem the reward, and the reward was reduced by half." At this point, Li Siyuan paused for a moment and asked the military officers beside him: "According to the military rules, what should these fleeers deal with?"

The military officer hurriedly bowed and replied, "According to the military officers, the generals and subordinates were killed in the formation. All the officials and soldiers who fled back were killed, and their wives were incarnated into the government office as slaves!"

Li Siyuan nodded and said, "Let's do this!"

A scream soon came from outside the tent. The eight fleeing soldiers were whipping in the square in front of the tent. After the whipping, they would be escorted outside the gate and beheaded to the public to serve as a warning.

"The Khan is still too soft-hearted. If we follow the old rules in our clan, those who are so cordyceps have to use a wooden hammer to get married before they can combine their minds!"

At this time, a very stiff voice came, and everyone looked at the sound, and saw a Hu man wearing a golden ring in his ears. He was burly, eight feet tall, with a bare head, with a front half shaved head, and two braids on the back half, hanging on his shoulders, which looked particularly eye-catching on the heads of the crowd.

"Nianhan! Don't be rude! How can you, a rash man, talk nonsense in front of the saint!" The general of Jin beside the Hu man hurriedly scolded. Although there are many Hu people in the Jin army and Hu Feng is also very popular, the generals and subordinates in the tent are basically Hu people of a considerable degree of Chineseization, and their clothes are no different from those of the northern Han'er. For this colleague who is still in a semi-barbarian state, I am afraid that these Shatuozi are even more despised than those of the Han'er.

"Nianhan is a real warrior. The Khan is just in need of the warriors as a hawk, how can he blame him!" Nianhan said loudly. He walked out of the ranks, swayed his sleeves to Li Siyuan, bowed and said loudly: "I heard that tens of thousands of southern troops have entered Xuzhou City. As Nianhan sees these southern barbarians are like mice on the grassland. They only dare to hide in caves during the day, and only dare to come out at night. Like such a coward, one of my good men in the Nianhan tribe can defeat one hundred. If the Khan rewards his children with jade and silk, at most three days, Nianhan can let the Khan's banner be planted on the city tower in Xuzhou!"

As soon as Nianhan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense. The generals and assistants of the Jin army blushed and shouted angrily. The arrogant words angered everyone. Many people pressed on the hilt of the knife around their waists, staring at Nianhan with fierce eyes, but Nianhan looked like he was not caring. He stood in the middle, staring at Li Siyuan in the upper head.

"Silent!" Li Siyuan made a gesture, and the tent gradually became quiet. His eyes stared at Nian Han for a moment, and asked in a deep voice: "Nian Han, what you said just now?"

Nianhan replied with his head held high, "The words of the warriors are like arrows that are drawn. As long as they are spoken, they will never look back. Nianhan brought ten hundred people this time, and each warrior can defeat one hundred southern barbarians. As long as the Great Khan gave the order, even if the city wall in Xuzhou is as high as the Soyuerji Mountain, the Khan's goshawks can still cross the city wall and dig out the hearts of the southern barbarians and present them in front of the Great Khan!"

While Nian Han was talking, someone sneered on the side: "What ten hundred people are there? It's obvious that even a thousand people can't say it. I'm afraid this barbarian doesn't know that there are even more numbers in the world than a hundred!"

The person on the side catered to him: "That's right, I think this barbarian is just dressed in front of us, and he might be crawling on the ground with his bare ass at home! He doesn't even say anything, and wants to lead troops to fight. It's really a laughing heartbreak!"

Li Siyuan pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know that Wu's weapon is sharp, and those who hit it will die!"

Nianhan smiled indifferently and said, "I have seen the firearm, and my voice is quite scary. Just listen to it a few more times. Nianhan can bend his bow and shoot arrows, and it is no worse than him. A coward is a coward. Even the best weapon and horse is a coward, in the hands of a coward, it is prepared for the warriors."

Hearing this, Li Siyuan showed joy on his face and smiled and said, "Okay, okay! What conditions do you want! Tell me quickly!"

Nianhan said with his head raised: "The Wu thieves come at night, and we go at night too. My warriors are otters in the water and tigers on the shore. Even if the city wall is ten feet high, they can climb up. But the armor is a little worse, so please give it to the Khan!"

"That's easy!" Li Siyuan smiled and said, "Come here, lead this warrior to the back camp, and he can choose the armored soldiers in the army!" After Li Siyuan defeated Bianjing, all the armored soldiers in the Liang Kingdom's arsenal fell into his hands. If we talk about the location of the elite armored soldiers in the world, we would probably be here. After hearing this, Nian Han couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly bowed: "Nian Han thanked the Great Khan!"

Li Siyuan stood up and walked to Nianhan, helped him up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "After breaking the city, every warrior under your command can take away the property carried by two horses. The warriors who fought hard for me will never be poor!"

Hearing Li Siyuan's generous promise, Nian Han's knees couldn't help but soften, and he knelt on the ground, kissed Li Siyuan's soles, and sang loudly: "In order to sweat, the warriors crossed the mountains, crossed the flowing water, crushed the rocks, and dug out their hearts! Even if they were crushed to pieces, they were willing!"

Five days later, the city of Xuzhou was silent, and there were sounds of gongs from the city. The soldiers guarding the discs were exhausted, leaning against the women's walls and the shacks under the city, snoring loudly. The continuous hard battles over the past few days have squeezed their physical strength and energy.

On the top of the city, the guard bing Henggu shrank his neck and looked at the water below the city. He was originally a native of Xuzhou, and his family had already been defeated, so he could only buy some coolies to live at the dock outside the city. After Jingxiang came to Xuzhou, he joined the army and ate this bowl of dead rice. He fought hard these days. He saw that at first he was driven away the people, but later he was the Jin army, who were all over the mountains and fields outside the city, and it was like he was desperate to escape, and suddenly rushed to the city with corpses.

There are many things that are paved everywhere. Although the city walls of Xuzhou are strong and the Wu army is sharp, there are many defenders who are killed by arrows and firearms under the city, not to mention mental and physical torture. When fighting during the day, they don’t feel that when they are alone at night, their noses are filled with stench of corpses, and they hear faint moans from time to time. Sometimes Henghu simply suspects that he is already in a ghost world.
