In this world, many things are actually like acting out a drama. What you say will often happen dramatically in the next second.
Just when Changsun Shunde had just finished sighing and was about to get up and go to the training ground to take another look, a rush of horn sounds came from the direction of the east city gate!
"Not good!" As a general, Changsun Shunde was shocked and flew towards the east gate!
"What's going on?!" Xiao Han, who also heard the horn sound, stood up suddenly, his face full of surprise!
He had been in the military camp for more than a day or two. When he heard the horn sound, he knew that something big had happened!
"Quick, the general has an order! Everyone prepares for battle! Wang Shichong is here to call for formation..."
Outside the saltworks, there were overseers in black running around shouting. And as the governor ran past, countless armored soldiers poured out from all directions and ran towards the city gate!
"Wang Shichong is attacking the city?! No! Xiaodong, let's go to the city head!" Xiao Han looked at the turbulent flow of people and felt his heart beating like a drum! Without thinking, he grabbed Xiaodong and ran towards the city gate with the crowd!
Pulled, but didn't pull. Not only did he not pull, Xiaodong was dragging him back!
"It won't work! Lord Marquis, you can't go! The enemy is attacking the city. It's too dangerous at the top of the city!!!"
"Why can't I go! The enemy is attacking the city. It's just as dangerous everywhere!" Xiao Han shouted! He was already confused at this time and just wanted to go to the city wall to see if Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong were in the formation!
Li Shimin had said before that he would only give these people one chance. Xiao Han was extremely afraid that these two people would not be able to seize this opportunity! This is enough to make him regret for thousands of years!
Xiaodong held Xiao Han tightly and shouted, "No! You can't go!"
"Let go! If you don't go, I'll go by myself!"
One of them was about to leave, but the other held on tightly, and they were stuck there for a moment! In this short period of time, Xiao Han and Xiaodong were the only two people left in the salt field, which had just been crowded with people.
"Master Hou...Master Hou! Why are you here!"
While the two were in a stalemate, not far away, several figures rushed over. Who was the gray-haired old man in front of him if he wasn't Uncle Fool?
Xiao Han saw Uncle Lengzi before he could speak. Uncle Lengzi grabbed him, and a set of heavy armor pressed down on his head and face!
"It's just nonsense! There's almost a fight in front of you, why don't you even wear armor! Where's your armor, Xiaodong? Why don't you put it on quickly! This is a battlefield!" Uncle Lengzi shouted at the two of them with red eyes, and behind him Several people wearing armor silently gathered around Xiao Han. It seemed that they would not leave until the battle was over.
"Yes, yes, wear armor! Wear armor!"
Xiao Han was so anxious that he even forgot that he was wearing civilian clothes. After being told by the stupid uncle, he realized what he was doing and hurriedly put on the armor on his body. The people who died on the battlefield were not only hacked to death, but also many were shot to death by cold arrows!
Putting on the armor and tightening the straps hard, Xiao Han's special one-piece armor was like a tin can after it was fully equipped. Except for a pair of eyes exposed, even the mouth and nose were covered by the iron armor!
"Huhu, what's going on up front? How's the battle going?" Xiao Han asked while panting hard. The iron armor blocked all the exhaust gas inside the helmet. Now he has to exert a lot of effort every time he takes a breath. Can't this damn design have a barbed wire fence? I also saw the emperor wearing a gold silk crown when he went to court that day. There is no reason why gold can be used to make a net, but iron can't!
It was quiet next to him, except for the whine of Feng Jin's helmet, but no one answered Xiao Han's question. Xiao Han frowned and turned around to see that Uncle Lunzi, who was by his side just now, had already run to the side and was concentrating on grooming a war horse!
Ready for war? Does Xiao Han need to rush into the formation? ! I guess no one in Xiazhou City would think so! Let him go to charge into the battle, it is better to let a dog go, at least its fighting power is stronger than Xiao Han!
So when Xiao Han saw the war horse, he immediately thought of its purpose.
Uncle Lunzi never thought about letting him go to the battlefield. Just looking at the food he stuffed into the horse's saddlebags, he knew that it was for him to run away...
"What are you doing!" Xiao Han became anxious and shouted at Uncle Lunzi! He is still anxious to see Cheng Yaojin!
Uncle Lunzi ignored Xiao Han's shouting and tied a water hyacinth on his hand to the saddle. Then he patted the horse's back, turned back to Xiao Han and said cautiously: "Master Hou, you don't know. Whenever you attack a city, , all surrounded! No one can say what will happen on this battlefield. But if something goes wrong, we will fight to the death to send you out!"
Xiao Han couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. Didn't he say that he was brave and not afraid of death? Why haven't you started fighting on your side yet? Why are you considering running away first? Are the poses and routes ready? Is this the secret of Invincible World? Or are they fakes?
"The fight hasn't started yet, and you want me to be a deserter?" Xiao Han was a little embarrassed.
Uncle Fool just nodded cautiously: "It's not shameful to desert the army. Only when a person is alive can he have the capital to laugh at others!"
"alright, you win……"
After taking a serious look at Uncle Lunzi, Xiao Han was sure that he was not joking, so he had no choice but to agree. In fact, he himself knew that at the most critical moment, even if he refused to leave, they would knock him unconscious and put him on the horse!
"It's too early to say this now. I have to go to the city to see it now! This is very important!" Agreeing with Uncle Lengzi's approach, Xiao Han also made his own request.
Uncle Lengzi looked at Xiao Han's firm eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slowly.
Because he knew that Mr. Hou was rarely so stubborn. But once it appears, it will be a bastard who is determined to take the weight, and no one can persuade him to do anything!
Xiaodong, who came back in a hurry after calling Guan Jia, went to get a large shield. It was made of iron and covered with wood. It was as big as the lid of a large cooking pot in the village! It was lying horizontally in front of him, enough to cover Xiao Han's entire body. Uncle Lengzi held the shield in person, protecting Xiao Han in front of his head and walking towards the city gate tower.
The roads in the city were deserted, with not a single soul in sight. If it weren't for the bursts of shouts and horns coming from the east city gate from time to time, it would make people think of ghosts.
Xiao Han suppressed the impatience in his heart and slowly followed Uncle Lunzi and the others forward. It was not that he had not urged Uncle Lunzi, but the reply he received was always to be careful.
By the time they moved to the east city gate, the horns had been sounding for a long time.
Xiao Han looked at the busy city wall from a distance and felt strange. He didn't understand why the people on the city wall were still carrying rocks and wood! Shouldn't it be shown on TV that arrows are falling like rain and enemies are like locusts? Where are people? do not fight?
I took the time to ask my question to Xiaodong next to me. Unexpectedly, Xiaodong had a disapproving look on his face. Based on his experience, the enemy should not have reached five miles in front of the city.
Xiao Han actually had some misunderstandings about ancient warfare. He always thought that fighting should be as motionless as a mountain and aggressive as fire!
But he didn't expect that in this era without strong transportation mobility, invasion like fire could only be thought of. If we were on the grassland or in the desert, it would still be possible to do it, but in the pass, would you like to take a look at it? The barriers that can be seen everywhere will always teach you how to be a human being...
China has been fighting for thousands of years, and it can be said that it is the country that knows the best about marching and fighting in the world! And in order to win, we have developed it into an extremely complex knowledge!
Since it is a siege battle, the number of highly mobile cavalry is destined to be very small. The siege of a city is always based on infantry. No 250 generals would use cavalry to attack a city! Besides, horses can't climb city walls...
When the organic infantry regiment is dispatched, it is by no means a simple matter. The front army, the middle army, and the rear army. How to coordinate the two wings and how to transport the equipment takes a huge amount of time! Therefore, when they go on an expedition, they will often be discovered by the other party and try to deal with it.
