The sound of snowflakes hitting armor is loud.
The head of the Luzhou fortress.
At a glance, everything is covered with iron cavalry.
Perhaps the newly recruited soldiers have never seen such a number of iron cavalry horses, as well as a complicated number of crossbows, or hundreds of city-drilling turtle chariots. Now that they see this formation for the first time, it is inevitable that they will feel nervous all over their bodies. I shivered for a while, but I couldn't tell whether it was because of the heavy snowfall for many days in a row, which made me feel cold all over my body, or whether I was really overwhelmed by the tens of thousands of cavalry in front of me, which almost covered the sky and the earth. .
Even if they set up camp ten miles away, the soldiers with better eyesight in the city could still see that surrounded by heavy iron armor, there were tens of thousands of shining swords. The vast, desolate and flat land with people inhabited it was filled with murderous aura. There are hundreds of troops marching, their hooves are stepping on the wind and thunder, there are more than a thousand soldiers and horses, the smoke and dust have not dispersed for a while, and there are more than ten thousand soldiers, the sky and the earth are shaking, not to mention that among them, the number of cavalry armor is the largest.
Tang Bufeng, who was still injured at the head of the city, was standing beside the solid porcelain city wall of Luzhou Barrier. As usual, he held the knife that was three times heavier than his own life for a long time. Stand in silence.
Ruan Qiubai stood only one foot away, his eyes full of worry.
All of Feng Yan's soldiers died outside the Luzhou Barrier. Except for Tang Bufeng who returned, no one survived.
Now I have some regrets. The soldier who was missing a front tooth and seemed to be lean and knew how to make wisecracks always wanted to use Tang Bufeng's knife to play tricks, saying that his ancestor was the Great Yuan Dynasty. It's so rare to see a knife maker that I can't move even when I see a good knife or a sword. After begging in every possible way, I only used Tang Bufeng's long purple sheath sword twice, and then I refused. After giving it back, now that I think about it, it seems that I should let people have a good time no matter what. But now it has been a long time since the soldier who looked very happy had his head hung to the flagpole and was executed without closing his eyes. So until now, when the night falls, which is not long and not short, whenever Tang Bufeng feels a little tired, he can always think of the Feng Yan soldiers who died in their hometown in the fire that day. Some of them had their heads removed, and some were killed behind their backs. The powerful crossbow penetrated, creating more than a dozen bloody holes nearly half the size of a fist. They crawled to death without saying a word. Some people died in the chaos, their chests were nearly shattered by the sharp blades of swords and guns, and then were trampled into red mud by horse hooves.
Therefore, for a long period of time, whenever Tang Bufeng drank, he would always come to the city wall and sit with the altar in his arms. He would pour the full jar of wine under the city wall, and he would only take a few sips, and would inevitably drink more. He made a few self-deprecating remarks, saying that a dead man drinks wine, but it is a waste of precious things.
Ruan Qiubai always followed Tang Bufeng out, silently staring at the face that looked very thin due to the fact that the injury had not healed. There was no anger or anger on it, nor was there any sadness or regret, not even a hint of unhappiness and depression. , not a single clue could be seen from that face that was quite peaceful from beginning to end. Even in the eyes of the Ruan family leader, Tang Bufeng did not seem to have even the slightest waver of thoughts.
The two of them neither spoke nor interacted. It seemed that whenever Tang Bufeng came to drink or sit alone at the top of the city, all he could see was a bunch of dead grass under the city.
"I don't know if I can come again. It's been hard work these days, Madam."
But when Tang Bufeng got up to leave today, when he passed by Ruan Qiubai, he stopped in his tracks. There was a deep tiredness in his expression, "Those people are all very good, maybe they are not in the war, and they can drink and have fun, which is quite right." My temper is too bad to protect his life, so I am incompetent. I have played with you a lot in the past few days, madam, please do not blame me."
Even at this moment, Madman Tang, who was always regarded by others as a careless person and only knew how to use a knife, still looked at Ruan Qiubai with pity. He raised his hand to wipe away the water stains at the end of the latter's eyes very carefully, for fear that he would practice it. The calloused palms of the knife scratched Ruan Qiubai's cheek, so he was careful and cautious, and finally managed to squeeze out a smile, but it fell in Ruan Qiubai's eyes. The swordsman in front of him seemed a bit hateful, and he clearly could not bear the weight of it. , but in the end, he had to stand in front of many people and suffer this torment.
At the Luzhou Barrier, there were many people looking down at this time, and the one who looked the longest was Wen Yu, who was standing at the top.
It is the season when Huang covers the nest with soldiers and horses,
The most important thing to pay attention to when attacking is ruthlessness and unparalleled ruthlessness. Maybe the attack on the city has been delayed, so the goal is to kill the enemy. After all the killings and the sharp reduction, the city was destroyed, so it became more vigorous and vigorous. The most powerful offensive was to destroy the city and take out the stronghold. It took only more than ten days to defeat the city. Even many military attachés and soldiers at the Luzhou Barrier were suspicious of the scholar's delay in moving this time. Instead, he set up camp for a confrontation, using very different methods from the past.
But in fact, ever since Wen Yu returned from the Luzhou Prefectural Mufu and Huang Fuchao led his troops to advance, the chess game had no clues and was unfolding around the Luzhou Barrier.
Huang Fuchao has never been one of those reckless men who are only good at attacking, and he is definitely not one of those commanders who only know how to use force to win. At least this sudden change with Shuoxue Everyone needs to be wary of the formation, especially Wen Yu who is at the Luzhou Barrier and has seen Huang Fuchao's dirty tricks in large and small wars and the various strange ways of exchanging lives for lives. Rather than saying that his military methods are like those of a tiger in the mountains, he actually It is better to put it in words that his troops only like to use deceitful ways, and their comings and goings are changeable, just like snakes in the stream, wandering indefinitely, and always breaking out and hurting people. Just attacking the Luzhou Barrier with one hand and building a camp with solid ice and sand seemed to be the most ordinary move, but it caused Wen Yu to feel a chill all over his body.
Luzhou Barrier has never seen any war for a long time. Even after Wen Yu mentioned the school scriptures, he knew what it means to be prepared for danger in times of peace. However, after such a trial for the first time, almost everyone on the top of the city was in danger. For a moment, they were panicked, but It is enough to reveal some errors and omissions. In particular, although the Luzhou Barrier is vulnerable and difficult to attack, except for the Feng Yan soldiers, there are almost no soldiers and horses who are wandering around all day long to detect the true and false trends. Most of them can only rely on their good eyesight at the top of the city. The soldiers were watching the Xumeng Mansion's troops, horses and cavalry from a distance, and they happened to catch up with such a snowstorm, making everything difficult.
As you can see now, the soldiers and horses outside the city are not only cavalry, but also armored infantry. They are often several feet wide and narrow, and the number of turtles, catapults, and catapults in the city is also very heavy. Whenever there is an attack on the city, the northern end of the Luzhou Barrier is in danger. If reinforcements are called back, reinforcements may not be able to arrive. After a deadly battle at that time, if the defense barrier is not broken, it will be okay. In a short time, you can rush to the entire Luzhou Barrier.
This sick scholar, who is most extraordinary in his offensive methods, after lying dormant for a long time, put aside his old illness, and took action by pointing the eagle feather at the seven-inch long snake at the Luzhou Barrier. Even if he has not made any unnecessary movements, he can notice it. The cold murderous aura overflowed from the arrow cluster.
The most worrying issue at first was that the Luzhou Barrier was too long from north to south. After all, there was a flaw left. Huang Fuchao spotted it at a glance. Taking advantage of the stormy weather, he suddenly launched an attack.
"Instead of speculating and worrying, you might as well stand still and wait. Throughout the past and present, people have often come up with strange plans. It's better to calm down your mind first and think about it later."
There is no need to look back. He Zhizhou is the only one in the army who can move around so casually and speak with a bit of cynicism. He Zhizhou is quite casual. Even though he apparently holds a rather unpopular position, he is still in the Luzhou Barrier. Everyone in the country knows his abilities, and because he is considered to be the one who connects Zhusang Road and Zhengzhang Royal Court, no one despises him.
It was expected that Wen Yu would be focused on the black cloud-like military formation outside the city at this time, and did not pay attention to him at all. He Zhizhou also knew what he was thinking, and then he laughed at himself, took out a letter from his chest armor, and put it in In front of Wen Yu, he stabilized the gourd in his hand to prevent it from being blown down by the strong wind at the top of the city.
"Zhu Kaifeng just sent an urgent letter. Calculating the time, Huang Fuchao moved the troops and horse supplies first. It was not the middle section of the Luzhou barrier, but the southern border. Compared with the army in the middle section, it was at least a few days later. It's hard to believe that at Zhu Kaifeng's age, he probably doesn't even think about food and drink."
"My subordinates are most curious about how the Xumeng Mansion got such courage. They dared to punch in all directions with such a large number of soldiers and horses, and why they approached ten miles away and then stood still, knowing full well that the northern border was guarded by a green-faced ghost, a Rakshasa ghost. The northern barrier guarded by the two men is relatively weak in comparison, but these two people often go out to fight in the city, but they go in the opposite direction and raise troops to attack the central and southern parts of the barrier. Is there any deception in this?"
But He Zhizhou still waited for a long time before he heard Wen Yu speak and took his eyes away from the letter.
"Even if there is a deceit, we have to test it with soldiers and horses. All the Phoenix and Wild Goose soldiers are dead, and although the number of the rangers is still there, with the sky like this, I am afraid that they will still return in vain, and Huang Fuchao will not be covered at all.
As for the number of soldiers and horses, if you look carefully, you will know the number of soldiers and horses here. According to the calculation of the newly recruited soldiers in the past few months, half of the Xumeng family members have come to suppress them. As stated in the letter, the number of southern barriers is almost the same. However, there was no sign of any trouble at the northern road barrier. "
Huang Fuchao's move is the most puzzling. The Luzhou barrier is integrated and needs to be suppressed by numbers to prevent the Royal Court's troops from acting rashly. If they really don't use soldiers and horses to suppress the North Road barrier, As long as the two green-faced ghosts and Rakshasa ghosts quickly mobilize their troops out of the city to intercept when the war breaks out, they will probably have a 30-50% chance of winning the battle. As expected, the intelligence report from the north road had already been reported a few days ago. We have reached the barrier of the middle road, and the letter clearly states that the soldiers and horses on the North Road of Xumeng Mansion have retreated, and there is no trace left.
The most important thing in a war is to be attacked from the front and back, but now Huang Fuchao is arrogantly using almost all the soldiers and horses of the Xu Meng Mansion, but he just opens the North Road Barrier, which is tantamount to putting himself in danger.
It's a pity that no one believes it.
Wen Yu frowned and raised his head, only to see the Shuofeng Dao and the Feixue Sword entering Muxiong Pass and ten miles outside the city. The undercurrent seemed to be spread out over an unmoving military camp.
The mountains and rivers are desolate and stained with blood every day.
