Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Seven Like a Rainbow
Zhu Xieyuan was so drunk that as soon as his head hit the pillow, he fell asleep all night; Luo Qianxiang saw that Mr. Zhu trusted him so much and allowed him to bring a knife to the table, so he pulled him to share the same bed with him for the first time. And Mian had no doubts, and was really moved: They all say that Han officials are bad, but this old man in front of him is considered the biggest official in Sichuan, right? What's so bad about it, he's obviously as straight-tempered as our seedlings! Although Luo Qianxiang has a straightforward personality, he is not stupid and has a plan in mind - She Chongming's capital is much greater than his own. If he can't defeat the Han people, he can still run to the west of the water. The small Shuinao village has no legs. Where can I run? Of course, if you lose, you will be burned to ashes by the Han people. Even if you win, you will still be devoured by She Chongming! As the head of the Luo family, you have to consider the whole clan. Luo Qianxiang's drinking capacity was much higher than Master Zhu's. He was moved and had this little thought in his heart. He was so noisy by Zhu Xieyuan's snoring that he couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned on the bed in the first half of the night like pancakes.
This is very painful for Sun Jie - Mr. Zhu drank so much that he dragged this barbarian brother to sleep with him. Although he had a friendship with Brother Ma, after all, it was the first time they met, and there was still someone Wanli, right? What if this guy did something bad to the governor at night...Sun Jie couldn't even imagine the consequences! He secretly asked Shen Gang to go back and call Sheng Degong and several other skilled guards, fearing that they would make a noise and make Luo Qianxiang think too much. None of them were wearing armor, and they were holding daggers in their hands at the door of Master Zhu's bedroom. Squatting by the window all night, Luo Qianxiang frightened several people every time he turned over...
After struggling until dawn the next day, I finally felt relieved when I heard two people in the room yawning and starting to talk. Shi Erlei was young, so Sun Jie exchanged a few words with Mr. Zhu's eldest follower, Zhu Wu, and asked Erlei to change into a boy's attire and carry the wash water to take care of him. He and Shen Gangsheng went back to change clothes - after changing The military uniform had to run back quickly and pretend to have had a good night's sleep to see Luo Qianxiang off!
On the way, Sun Jie and Shen Gang murmured for a long time, and finally gave instructions: "Brother Shen will return to the camp immediately after seeing off the leader of the village, and ask Li Fang to leave one unit to guard the new capital, and another unit to take over the defense of the main camp and auxiliary troops. Leave five hundred, and put up more flags to cover it up, so that no thieves can detect the real situation. Brother, lead the entire army around the back of Longquan Town to set up an ambush at Yangtianwo Taohuagou. Later I will ask the Chengdu Prefecture to make more pancakes and pickles to be delivered. Camp, no matter whether you are on the road or camping in the past few days, do not raise fires. Brothers, make do with it. Dig the excrement pit deeper and cover it with soil before leaving the camp. The whole cavalry team acts as sentry posts and spreads far away to warn, when encountering a large swarm of seedlings Avoid the thieves in advance, kill the scattered thieves on the spot, and don't leak the news. It is estimated that the extravagant thieves will be defeated and retreat to you in three days. Teach the auxiliary soldiers in advance to create more obstacles on the paths that cannot be defended. It is best to cut down the trees. Block it dozens of feet away and concentrate our troops on a few main roads. When the extravagant thieves retreat, all the soldiers will attack in half armor."
Shen Gang replied with concern: "None of this is a problem. But your troops here are too thin. Those guard soldiers are useless. You can't count on them at the critical moment. I'll leave you a battalion, even half a battalion. , I’m really worried.”
Sun Jie shook his head: "It's better not to use it. From the past few days of fighting, it seems that the Chengdu Guards have no training at all and are of no use. If they are sent out to fight in the field, there is no hope. But after all, I have a wall here, and I have the Changjie Battalion as the backbone. They can no longer Help me, yesterday you brought two more cannons, which should be able to stop the extravagant bandits. During the melee, the village leader Luo stabbed him in the back, and I opened the door to counterattack at the same time. For a while, they couldn't distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. When the morale of the army was in chaos, they would retreat in a swarm. Go down. But the leader of Luo Village plus a few of his friends can only count to seven or eight thousand, and the total number of extravagant thieves is more than ten thousand. When he realizes this, he will never give in. He will definitely rectify his troops in Longquan and then kill them back. At that time, we have All the chess pieces have been played, and Chengdu Mansion is in danger. Therefore, you must give him a fatal blow at Longquanyi! You must not let the extravagant thief have a chance to breathe, beat him hard! Let's bite the defeated thief and drive him all the way down, thief The bandits who ran into the mountains became more and more scattered. They just ignored him and chased him along the official road. You have to divide a battalion in advance to grab the boat in Luoshui. There are not enough manpower. You can take them all with you. , I can bear it.”
While talking, the two came to Fuya, and happened to see Lord Zhu and Luo Qianxiang coming out one after another. Luo Qianxiang raised his fists to everyone: "Mr. Zhu, brother Sun and brother Shen, we are going back. In two days we will lead our troops up and kill She Chongming. Well, that's it."
Zhu Xieyuan was about to answer when Shen Gang said: "Wait a minute. General Luo, when you go back, you must ask the sons and daughters to put a mark on your body." He smiled bitterly and said, "Your people recognize us and other tribes as well." , the men and horses of the village; but not to mention the soldiers of a certain person, even in the eyes of my brother, all of you are similar, and misunderstandings are inevitable during a fight."
Luo Qianxiang was startled when he heard this: "The color of the clothes and trousers, the pictures tattooed on the face, the necklace and earrings worn, the way the bun is wrapped, the bird feathers on the head...everywhere is different. You can't tell it at a glance. How could it be so?" Can’t tell?”
Several people looked at each other, speechless. Mr. Zhu was still very cunning. He looked up and saw the cloth shop diagonally across the street and had an idea. He raised his hand and said, "Come on, bring me all the red silk and red cloth in the store. Deputy Marshal Shen, ask your two brothers to go back with General Luo, and tie one on each of his left and right arms to mark it." .”
The adults talked and laughed and said goodbye, their backs gradually drifting away. A half-suppressed whimper could be heard faintly in the cloth, and then disappeared immediately, as if the weeping person had his mouth suddenly covered...
About half an hour later, on the city tower.
Looking at the dozens of tall towers slowly advancing toward him in the distance, Zhu Xieyuan was a little anxious: "Guodong, there are less than three thousand soldiers in the city. If the thieves come to the city, it will be difficult to resist them. Deputy Commander Shen should return to the camp. Are you ready? Should you send someone to ask him to help? "
Sun Jie did not tell Mr. Zhu that Shen Gang led the entire army to set up an ambush. In addition to the giant Lugong bus, She Chongming also built so many towers, which was beyond Sun Jie's expectation. He originally thought that was She Chongming's most powerful killing move. After it was destroyed, he would only hit four or five towers and a dozen or so cars - the carriages could not go up the wall. No matter how many there were, ignore them and use the crossbow to guard against them. The city gate and two big cannons were focused on the towers, and the two tiger squatting cannons brought by Shen Gang were aimed at the place where the thieves were gathering. Changjie camp dealt with the ladders that were put up and carried it for two days. Luo Qianxiang The troops and horses will be able to drive up...
Watching Xu Xiang slowly approaching the dense forest of towers outside the city, Sun Jie was a little shaken - the two great cannons, under the most ideal conditions, could only complete one round each in half the time of burning an incense stick. Casting, two tiger crouching cannons can be counted as one shot of a cup of tea, but the cannonballs are small, and two or three cannons may not be able to destroy one. There are more crossbows, but there are only a dozen iron spears left, regardless of the accuracy. Not to mention, even if they are successful, it will always take three or four to knock over a tower. As for the car that crashes into the door, I can only rely on cupping... In any case, there is absolutely no way to deal with this little guard in my hand. So many large siege engines! unless……
If Shen Steel was asked immediately to change its plan and return to Chengdu, it would definitely be in time. However, after a long-distance attack of more than ten miles, they immediately enter the battle. No matter how good their own soldiers are in fighting, there are so many extravagant thieves, and they can constantly put the energetic fresh troops into the battlefield to fight against thousands of elite soldiers... Today's round The offensive should be able to withstand it, and the remaining soldiers will enter the city in the evening - by the way, how many people will be left by then? two thousand? Two thousand five? Three thousand? impossible! Even counting all the seriously wounded, it would never reach 3,000! Among them, how many are left that can be fought tomorrow? What to do tomorrow? The adults said that my sister-in-law is on the way to help, but Chongqing is the only way to go. It is occupied by extravagant thieves and must be defeated first before we can get there. Sister-in-law can definitely get it, no doubt about it. Calculating the fastest distance, the sister-in-law can only reach the border of Chongqing Prefecture in a few days, and it will take at least five or six days to reach Chengdu! Do you have to die for another day to wait for Luo Qianxiang? What he would see then would be a hundred thousand troops surrounding a group of remnants of Chengdu Mansion, suppressing and beating them. Would he dare to rise up? Even if he suddenly rebelled, the combat power of each tribe was almost the same. With the overwhelming advantage of more than ten to one among the extravagant thieves, General Luo would still have lost his life in vain! Moreover, even if the city is defended in the end, the price must be that the Sun family's army will be severely damaged. After more than half a year of rest and training, it will be no different from the guards. Even so, the combat strength can only be restored to about 60%, and then it will reach what it is today. I don’t know how long it will take - the backbone of an army is composed of general officers, commanders and other grass-roots non-commissioned officers and veterans of many battles. These people are all gone. No matter how thorough the training of recruits who have never been on the battlefield is, it is just an illusion...
Hey, what time is it, why do you still want to do this! Sun Jie shook his head, as if to drive all the unrealistic future scenarios out of his mind - focus on the present first. Master Zhu is right, if we are approached by those towers and the thieves scale the wall in large numbers, everything will be over!
So he turned to Zhu Xieyuan, ready to tell the adults and ask Er Lei to chase Shen Gang. Before he could open his mouth, he suddenly saw two sharp eyes as sharp as razor blades coming towards him! Then there was a resolute fat face - it was Laoshun, with thick lips pursed tightly, and a confident smile line at the corner of his mouth, staring at him eagerly!
I heard Lao Shun laugh loudly: "Don't worry, sir! Sun Shuai is invincible. Sir, don't laugh at me. Tell the truth. After hearing that the thieves have invaded the whole family, I will think that there is only a dead end in front of me. It's Sun." When Sun Shuai entered the city, he didn't think he had any hope. In the past few days, Sun Shuai defeated the thieves in every battle. Yesterday, a huge city came over him. The general was scared to death, thinking that he would never die again. Whoops, I didn’t expect that Sun Shuai shot an arrow and became a dead target for the boys to hit! Sir, don’t worry, with Sun Shuai here, not only the general himself, but also the children of the Chengdu Central Guard will know that no matter what Why, the thieves are here to die!"
Sun Jie felt hot in his heart and looked around. He saw that except for his Changjie Battalion soldiers, they were all preparing for the battle step by step. The soldiers of the Chengdu Central Guard and the strong men who were assisting the guards all cast their hot eyes on him. The eyes are full of anticipation, eagerness, admiration, and...
confidence!
The pride suddenly surges in the chest!
Call Shen Gang back and let this invincible steel army forged by the Sun family with countless lives over the past two hundred years be consumed in the flesh and blood mill of the Miao people in the border areas of the empire?
No!
no way!
Extravagant thief, come on, I can bear it!
A certain Changjie camp can handle it!
General Lao's Chengdu central defender can handle it!
The iron-walled Chengdu Mansion can withstand it!
Extravagant thief, just watch, this torrent of iron armor will be bathed in the blood of thieves, crushing all those who dare to cause trouble into powder, destroying the dry and decaying, plowing the courtyard and clearing the holes!
After thinking this, Sun Jie no longer hesitated and gave Zhu Xieyuan a heavy fist: "Sir, there's no need. With General Lao and the boy here, Chengdu Mansion is impregnable!"
"Prepare for war!" This was Sun Jie yelling.
"Children, cheer up! Kill him and leave no trace of his sons behind!" Lao Shun was shouting at his neck.
"Come on, come on! Grandpa is sending Gou Ridi to meet your ancestors!"
"I'm so sorry for you, my knife is so itchy!"
"Kill!", "Kill!", "Kill!"
On the walls of Chengdu, fighting spirit is like a rainbow!
