Chapter Fourteen

Li Jifeng looked at the thick and towering city with a gloomy face. As the saying goes, "All hearings are better than seeing them." The former Shuofang Army Governor's Office was the leader of the eight major governors' offices in the world. It is known as the northern gate of China. When I saw them today, it is indeed well-known. Unfortunately, this strong city is now in the hands of the Anxi Army.

Under the city of Lingzhou, more than 20,000 Xiazhou troops, more than 10,000 Sui, Yinzhou troops, more than 20,000 Dangxiang Eight Cavalry, more than 20,000 Shaanxi Xiangjun and civilians who transported military rations, more than 70,000 people split up camps, and iron kids surrounded Li Jifeng, Li Jiqian, Li Keyuan, Li Keshun, Li Kexian and other Tuoba leaders, looking at the tall and strong Lingzhou city at a loss. The warriors of Dangxiang were not cowardly, but their courage could not replace stone throwing machines and bed crossbows, and these were the most needed to attack the city. The weak armored state army and troops

The fallen warriors, only a few people who are close to the patriarch and nobles, can hide under the simplest siege cars covered with layers of cowhide, and most face the dense arrows and stones at the head of Lingzhou City without any cover. The Dingnan Army originally wanted to rush to the city and dig the city wall, but who knew that the Lingzhou city wall was erected and built in great shape for generations. After digging for a long time, only some shallow white seals were left, and the siege caves that could be hidden could not be dug out. The corpses under the city wall became higher and higher, but they did not even touch the edge of the balustrade.

"Bad, they obviously have good armor and are not afraid of arrows, so why do we still let us die?" Tatou looked back at the iron kite who was surrounded by the nobles of the Tuoba clan under the shade of the trees, and said hatefully. "Iron kite are all nobles, born nobler than us, so you must not think about it anymore." Xiliqin's face already had deep wrinkles, and both of them were food from the Xiazhou army. "That's a lie. Everything is the kindness of Changshengtian. The brave and courageous warriors should be on the top. Now the fat pigs wearing armor are contrary to the will of Changshengtian and are destined to be destroyed. The Anxi army led by the lord is the whip sent by Changshengtian to whip them."

Tower came to mind the saying that was circulating in the Baiyu camp. If it weren't for the military law of father and son, he would have defected to the Baiyu army. Unfortunately, this group of heroes united the leaders of various tribes and broke up, but he had to carry a ladder to attack the lord's city. He looked at the nobles of various tribes who were showing off their power and retreated fiercely, hoping to put down the ladder and pull out the knife to kill him. Xiliqin looked at the eyes of his son like a wolf, and could only sigh secretly. The officers of the Xiazhou Army Dangxiang clan ordered again: "Did you lazy bones feed dogs all the meat you only rewarded in the morning? Get up and attack the city!"

Dangxiang Tiejiao was a good player to ride a horse, but it was a waste to let these nobles and lowly state troops and dirty tribal warriors go together to climb the city walls, and they could only lead the state troops to plunder and hunt grass valleys. However, there was no grass valley to fight near Lingzhou. Since the news that the Dingnan Army was about to attack Lingzhou, the cavalry army gathered all the Yin households that could shoot arrows to help guard into the city. The other old and weak were gradually evacuated to Liangzhou to the west and the grassland tribes farther away under the cover of the newly established Duhan Army. Lingzhou was originally adjacent to the desert Gobi, and even the wheat that was about to mature in the farmland outside the city was ordered by Xin Gu to be cut into pieces for war horses.

"Captain Qian, you are surrounded by this bandit barbarian all day long, and you are so frustrated that you don't let your brothers go out and rush out." Chu Kaiwen, the tenth chief, looked at the Dingnan Army, which was flooded like a tide, was attacked by the wooden arrows on the top of the city, and retreated like a tide. Although there is a strong city to support, it was surrounded by the Dingnan Army, which really made these people angry. The Cavalry Army was born to be on a horse. Qian Qingzhi's face darkened and said, "Lord, I ordered me to guard Lingzhou to death, so don't cause any trouble for me." Chu Kaiwen looked at the dark Dingnan Army below, which was like an ant, and said, "If the lord's army comes, it should be letting us out of the city to pursue the enemy, right?" Qian Qingzhi smiled and said, "Each army is like a wolf or a tiger. Is it good to give us some meat residue."

On the ninth day of the 10th month of the fourth year of the Xingguo of Taiping, the horses were fat. The troops of Anxi swore to attack the Dangxiang Li family in Liangzhou. In addition to Zhang Zhongyao's control of the flower hat army and stayed in Dunhuang, Luo Youtong led the hunting army to stay in Liangzhou to suppress Qingtang Tubo. Xin Gu and Pu Hangu rushed back to Lingzhou to defend, while Chen De personally led Longya, trampled on Yan, taught Rong, Zheng Rui, Jinfan, and Iron Bones to help. In the past few days, various troops in Anxi gathered in Liangzhou. The nearby horse thieves and barbarians fled far away when they heard the news, and Qingtang Tubo was even more anxious all day long.

Before dawn, the huge martial arts field was silent as if no one was present. Chen Deyi led his generals to the school reading stand and watched the entire army in person. In the field, he heard footsteps, iron armor, and occasionally war horses neighed, and he was immediately relieved by the cavalry. Soon, more than 30,000 tiger soldiers were standing in a state of silence. The camp lieutenants of each battalion led the flags to dance in front of the square formation formed by the soldiers, and the west wind whistled over the military formation with a solemn aura.

"Half a month ago, the Dangxiang Tuoba clan and other despicable tribe leaders sneaked into the Baiyu army camp. The Baiyu army was still insisting on resisting more than ten times the enemy army. For the honor of the sergeant, they would fight to the last moment. Our brothers fought bravely, but outnumbered. Some were killed in battle, some were captured, our camp was burned, horses and property were looted, and the sheltered tribes were looted as slaves!"

"From the south of the Yangtze River to Lanzhou, from Lanzhou to Longyou, Hexi, we rushed over all the way. There were superiors and inferiors in the army, and there were brothers and brothers. In the siege of Lanzhou, the court ordered the court to go to Bianliang as a charity, so I could go. After struggling with the Western Regions, the court ordered Wu'anxi to pay tribute to 10,000 horses and 50,000 kilograms of jade, so I could agree. Now the court supports Dangxiang Tuoba's money and grain, kills Wu'anxi soldiers, and plunders Yinhu in Wu'anxi. It is unbearable."

"If we give in, the enemy will laugh at our cowardice, steal our property and wealth, and even want to turn us into slaves who can be trampled on by others. Dangxiang Tuoba has already gained a lot. With the support of the court, he has gathered 50,000 mobs and is attacking Lingzhou. Now, if people offend me, I will offend others! The status and honor of our soldiers are not given by the court, but are all won by our own abilities, blood and life on the battlefield. If the Tuoba dares to provoke, we will defeat them, drive them away, destroy them, and fight them with teeth for tooth! Blood for blood!"

Chen De paused every time he said something. One hundred high-tongued men selected from the Dragon Ya Army repeated his words loudly to ensure that more than 30,000 sergeants present could hear it clearly.

"If we give in, the enemy will laugh at our cowardice and steal our property and our family," Zhou Yun was one of the hundred monarchs on the school reading stand, with 30,000 robes eyeing. He felt as if he had become the embodiment of the governor, and he plucked up all his strength and shouted loudly, even more excited than Chen De himself. The soldiers below were also infected by the emotions of Chen De and the hundred sergeants. Many people repeated silently in their hearts, and then in their mouths.

He murmured and said, "The status and honor of our soldiers are not given by the court, but are all won by our own abilities, blood and life on the battlefield." Until the end, more than 30,000 soldiers shouted in unison, "Defeat them, drive them away, and destroy them", "Too for tooth! Blood for blood!"" He was shouted over and over again. The birds around the school ground flew to the sky, flying while making rattles.

Chen De looked at the sergeant who had been motivated with satisfaction. Suddenly, some lieutenant who knew the inside story changed his slogan and shouted loudly: "Lord, be the emperor!" "Chen Jiedu is the emperor!" He led a large number of sergeants to shout, "The matter of supporting Chen De, and the oath of proclaiming emperor was only discussed among officers above the lieutenant. At present, the lieutenant shouted loudly in his heart. The rest of the lieutenant responded in the same voice. This storm had been circulating among the sergeants for a long time, but now it was suddenly aroused on this occasion, which caught Chen De and the commanders of the various army off guard.

"Chen Jiedu is the emperor!" Jin Ju, the captain of the Longya Sword Shield Camp, pulled out the sword from the north of Jianghuai, shouted loudly. Most of his men followed Chen De for the rest of his life, shouting, "Chen Jiedu is the emperor!" The captains, centurions, and soldiers, no one instigated and instinctively, made a shout like a rush of overwhelming sounds, with such a great momentum that even the war horses in the battle formation could not bear it. The sound was long and neighed, mixed with the clanging sound of swords and shields, making the roaring west wind whistling from the sky seemed to be about to be overwhelmed. The entire Liangzhou City could hear clearly, "Lord is the emperor!" "Jingdust is the emperor!"

Generals Chen De, Xiao Jiu, Lin Hong, Li Ran, Zhu Dao, Bai Sheng and other generals who were supported not long ago all pulled out their swords from their waists and shouted with the soldiers, "Lord, be the emperor!" "Long live the lord!" Since ancient times, soldiers have been arrogant and exiled to the commander. Today's momentum, if there are thieves in the army who betrayed Chen De, they will be dismembered by the clamored soldiers, and their heads will be presented to Chen De to show their loyalty.

Chen De stretched out his hands to the sergeant in the schoolyard and made a quiet gesture. The deafening cheers stopped a little. He slowly looked at the excited sergeant in the schoolyard, his heart was surging. In the eyes of the court, the rebellious Anxi Army, more than 30,000 bloody men were willing to entrust their lives. What a glory.

"The morale of the military," Chen De paused. The huge schoolyard was silent. After a while, the hundred commanders reacted and shouted loudly, "The morale of the military!"

"It's where I go!" This sentence made all the soldiers feel extremely excited, and someone started to clamor, "Long live the emperor!", "Long live the emperor!", "Long live! Long live! Long live!" The huge sound waves seemed to roll the reading stand up to the sky.

Chen De frowned, stretched out his hands again, and said in a deep voice: "Together with joys and sorrows, share wealth and honor, and be invincible!" Although his tone was not high, the hundreds of commanders shouted together, and the momentum was also quite strong. In the end, the shouting of "Long live the emperor!" overwhelmed "Long live the emperor!" Thirty thousand soldiers shouted "Together with joys and sorrows", "Together with wealth and honor", "Together with battles!" "Together with battles!" The feelings also changed from excitement to joy.

The army was heading towards Lingzhou. Chen De watched all the soldiers embark on the journey, and then walked off the school reading stand, turned over and jumped on the white horse that he rode on daily, and took the commander to chase the Longya Army walking among the army. Along the way, the soldiers saw Chen De's white horse and the general flag cheering loudly. The long-distance marching in distress seemed like a hunting.

Lingzhou is east of Liangzhou, and the sky is clear today. The direction of the Anxi Army's march is facing the red sun. "My lord is the true dragon emperor!" Many soldiers were filled with joy, thinking that this was auspicious for supporting the lord as the emperor. The soldiers always found many reasons to believe in their choices.
