Chang Siguo ran up to the top of the city and looked far into the distance. He saw the Beirong camp in a panic. Many bundled carriages were abandoned casually in the snow, and no one paid attention to the collapsed tents.
Groups of cavalrymen ran in disarray toward the northwest, looking like they were being chased and chased in a chaotic manner.
Hearing the soldiers shouting excitedly, "Reinforcements are coming," Chang Siguo jumped up on the wall and looked to the east.
In the distance, a black tide came from the east and spread over the snowy wilderness.
The splashing snow foam rose in the air, forming a large sheet of snow mist that covered the sky and the earth, and loomed behind it. Thanks to his extraordinary eyesight, he could see that they were cavalrymen charging in formation, countless of them. .
Reinforcements have really arrived.
The Beirong people have been unable to attack the city for several days in a row, and their momentum has been weakened and exhausted again and again. They have long lost their original vigor and enthusiasm. It happened to be the time when they had negotiated the withdrawal conditions with Sihuang City, packed up their camp accounts, and were preparing to retreat.
It shouldn't be a coincidence. Maybe it has something to do with the secret letter he sent to the city?
Chang Siguo jumped off the battlement and hurried to the defense area to meet Yi Shangyan.
The rapid sound of the horn stopped, followed by the sound of a passionate drum. Yi Shangyan jumped up onto the battlements, pointed in the direction of the city gate on the left, and shouted: "Look, the Four Wilds Iron Cavalry and the Blood Thorn Jingjing Cavalry are attacking."
Chang Siguo followed and jumped onto the battlements. He saw two teams of cavalry, one red and one black, rushing out of the ditch where the suspension bridge was lowered. They roared after the Beirong people who were fleeing ten miles away. Many of the cavalry were wearing robes or A well-dressed body trainer.
I don’t know when, the rocks and debris blocking the north city gate were cleared away.
It seems that his guess is correct. All this is related to the secret message. Last night, the Beirong people failed to attack the city with the help of tunnels. Within half a day, the city reached a withdrawal condition with the Beirong people. It was tantamount to setting up a ready-made trap, containing extremely powerful information. The great conspiracy and evil intentions have caused the Beirong people to lose their morale and focus on returning home, leading to their collapse without a fight.
The city wall was boiling, and the soldiers were shouting and dancing, eager to join the pursuit.
It's a pity that the two-legged ones can't catch up with the four-legged ones, so they can only shout at the top of the city to satisfy their appetite.
Yi Shangyan felt regretful and said: "There are not enough horses in the city, and it is not our North City Body Refiner's turn to go out with the army. Those guys are jealous that Boss Shan has made too much contribution this time, so we are only allowed to watch the fun. It is really unreasonable." Then he whispered: "Brother, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just found out about it not long ago. Speaking of which, it was the secret letter you sent to the city that played a big role. You have made a contribution again."
Chang Siguo didn't feel any regret at all for not being able to take part in the chase to beat up the drowned dog.
It is estimated that his identity, origin, performance in the military and other information have been thoroughly investigated in the past two days.
Before the official identity card came off, there were some secrets that Yi Shangyan did not dare to reveal to him. Yesterday, Yi Shangyan let slip a little bit about reinforcements, which must have been intentional.
He nodded to express his understanding and smiled: "It doesn't matter whether you deserve credit or not, being alive is the greatest luck."
Yi Shangyan glanced at Hei Wa strangely, shook his head and said, "I don't understand you. At such a young age, you are as worried and old-fashioned as an old man. I don't know where you learned this... stability?"
Considering that the word scheming is inappropriate, I changed it to the word prudent in a complimentary sense.
Chang Siguo laughed dryly and said, "Who else can I learn from? Dad Hei, who picked me up back to the military camp, has always taught me that living to fill your stomach is the most important thing in the world. I am often so hungry that I feel dizzy. All these principles, It’s all about survival.”
Yi Shangyan suddenly realized that this child had gone through hardships and famine, no wonder the young man was so mature.
Putting aside the topic that brought up Hei Wa's sad past, Yi Shangyan said with a smile: "The Beirong thieves are lucky. If it hadn't been for the heavy snow in winter and the severe cold, we would have chased them for hundreds of miles this time."
Chang Siguo looked at the incoming reinforcements and asked, "How many reinforcements have we received this time?"
It is a well-known fact that Nanping lacks horses. It is not easy to gather such a large number of cavalry.
"Not much, thirty thousand."
Yi Shangyan went on to explain: "Beirong is a ragtag group of tribes. They fight against the wind and have great fighting power. Once the momentum goes wrong, those guys can run faster than anyone else, and they are unwilling to break up the rear for fear of suffering losses." In addition to the tribe's physical trainers and young men, our Nanping cavalry is a bit short, but we are willing to spend a lot of money to build them and are well-equipped. It's easy to beat them from 30,000 to 50,000 or 60,000."
"Moreover, they have become a tired force and have lost a lot of men and horses under the city. Why are they still trying to fight? It's not like chasing them down once or twice. It's just that those guys are like weeds. They can't stop killing them. They can't pass. In a few years, it has grown again and continues to cause harm to our border."
Pointing to the rolling iron cavalry going north, "The cavalry is very lethal, forming an impact formation of thousands of cavalry, which can reach the ratio of fifty, or even twenty or thirty cavalry, to one body refining warrior. Therefore, in such large-scale field battles, the training The role of physical warriors in the army is not obvious. They mainly protect the commanders from assassination and resist and restrain the opponent's physical warriors. Our Pothief Army and Sihuang City have a total of almost 3,000 cavalry. Normally, there are about 10,000 Beirong cavalry. Pawn harassment can be countered.”
Chang Siguo said: "The Beirong grassland suffered a natural disaster. They failed to steal the chicken this time and lost a lot of rice. They won't give up easily, right? Next spring, the Beirong people will probably gather to knock on the pass. Otherwise, many of their tribes will suffer. Don’t go there.”
"Yeah, there's nothing to eat. They always come to us to grab it."
Yi Shangyan shook his head, "Whatever, we'll fight him if he dares to rob him. He's not his father, and he still raises those harmful beasts?"
While they were chatting, Shan Liwen came to patrol the city with a group of people, and the two of them quickly jumped off the battlements.
"Has your accommodation been settled? If there is anything missing, ask Lao Yi to help you buy it. He has good connections."
Shan Liwen stood still, looked at Chang Siguo who was standing aside and cupped his hands, and extended his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite.
"Everything is settled, thank you sir."
"Well, I've been working hard these past few days, so I'll take a break later."
Shan Liwen didn't wait long, said a few words casually, and walked forward. Although reinforcements were coming, the defense on the city must not be careless. Yi Shangyan grabbed Song Mu, a man in green shirt who was lagging behind.
"Is something wrong?"
The man in green shirt cherishes his words like gold and his face is like wood.
Yi Shangyan briefly explained the matter of changing houses, and then said: "When I go back for dinner in the evening, I asked Qingya to prepare some good dishes. Let's open a jar of good wine to wash the dust for Brother Heiwa."
"good!"
Song Mu didn't take the change of house seriously. Hearing that there was good wine, a smile appeared on his lips. He also nodded to Chang Siguo in a rare way and followed the group of people in front of him.
When Yi Shangyan saw the person walking away, he laughed in a low voice: "Wooden is good at wine. If you drink well, he will talk a lot."
He added: "The speed of Mu Mu's movements is unique among many body refiners, even compared to the General. Hei Wa, you can ask Mu Mu more for advice in the future, preferably after drinking. "And he blinked.
Hei Wa likes to fight enemies in close quarters with bows and arrows, but his speed and posture are really unflattering. He runs like a giant monkey, ugly and slow, and needs to be improved.
Chang thought about it and understood, and smiled back, accepting the other person's kindness.
He had seen Song Mu perform his physical skills, which were even more ghostly than his personal enemy, the man named Le.
Just seeing that the guy looked stupid and unkind, he had no intention of asking for trouble. Now Yi Shangyan reminded him that since things that can be done at the wine table, it doesn't matter. I think back then, he was also an alcoholic. The tested proletarian fighter...
