That night.
Yunzhong County.
The torch inserted between the gaps in the earth wall was dripping with grease. In the hazy place, you could vaguely see a flag on the city head in front of it——
In the temple of Huangdi, Chiyou was sacrificed in Peiting, and the flags were raised and drummed, and the flags were all red. The snake killed is the White Emperor's son, and the killer is the Red Emperor's son, so it is red.
In the howling north wind, a big Chinese character was fluttering in the wind.
Under the cover of night, the Han troops defending the city could not see anything unusual in the distance.
Two miles away, the bright swords, axes, spears and spears were dazzling. Teams of cavalry were lined up neatly, waiting for the leader's order.
At this moment, Jin pursed his lips tightly and was looking at the three-foot-high city wall in front of him.
The Huns were good at riding and archery. Their sons could ride sheep, draw their bows and shoot birds and mice, and their elders could shoot foxes and rabbits for food, but they were not good at attacking cities——
Even with the help of those who died across the border, they still didn't know how to set up ladders or make siege cones.
In this situation, there are only two most commonly used methods. One is to besiege the city. When the food in the city is exhausted, the city will naturally collapse. The other is to bribe the craftsmen and open the city gate while the night is dark and the wind is high.
"Chief, when can we enter the city? If we continue to waste time like this, I'm afraid Han reinforcements will arrive. After all, the Yellow Turban Army is unreliable..."
"wait."
After saying this, Jin narrowed his one eye and stared at the Han army gate, waiting for the detailed summons.
Although burning, killing and looting is indeed the behavior of the Hu people, as long as those Han people who are capable and skilled in crafts sincerely join, they will not be treated badly.
This time, in order to capture Yunzhong County, the Jin family took out the treasures accumulated by the tribe for decades, and used many threats and inducements to bribe several city-defending captains who were greedy for life and made an appointment to open the gate at Haishi.
Xilulu~
Since the leader did not give orders, the Huns cavalry sat on their horses one by one, calming the horses and waiting patiently.
Suddenly, two torches on the city were extinguished!
Jin's face was filled with joy, but then he immediately calmed down. He pulled out a long bow from behind his back, took out two bone arrows with strange shapes, and pointed them at the sky. He clasped the bowstring with his thumb, and his eyes were full of coldness.
"call out!"
Two specially made chimes rose into the sky, and the sound spread for miles, waking up the sleeping soldiers and civilians in the city.
"Enemy attack..."
A Han army guard roared subconsciously, but was instantly stabbed into a hedgehog by arrows flying from the sky as densely as locusts.
The copper arrows hit the city gate and made a continuous buzzing sound. The people who were forcibly recruited to defend the city had never seen such a formation before. They were all pale with fear and their two bodies were fighting.
In the city.
The governor Zhang Yi woke up suddenly and realized that he was not having a nightmare. The Huns had really launched a night attack!
at the same time.
Seven hundred miles away, Dingxiang City.
"Master Wang is majestic and mighty!"
"Master Wang is majestic and mighty!"
"Master Wang is majestic and mighty!"
It was late at night, but the people of the county gathered together, looking at the endless fire outside the city, and shouting loudly.
This place is under the jurisdiction of Xinxing County, but it borders Yanmen and Yunzhong counties. It is often seen that some refugees are coming on the glacier. They say that the Huns are coming this time fiercely and there are millions in number.
The people of Dingxiang actually believed such exaggerated words, because not only the refugees said so, but also the gentry who were lucky enough to survive and brought their domestic slaves with them.
However, all misfortunes will pass.
Now that the king's army has arrived, they will definitely kill all the invading foreigners and use their heads and corpses to build a temple as before.
The sky is bright with red flags and halberds are like trees.
Looking at the army camped in front of the city, many refugees who were preparing to flee south again cried bitterly and shouted to see the general.
An old man huddled in the corner of the city, his voice choked with sobs: "After the aliens broke through the city, they massacred them. Most of the dozen or so members of my family died, and all the female relatives were captured by them..."
"General, please avenge my family and kill the thieves to put an end to the chaos."
Hearing this, Lu Li, who was dressed in black armor, wanted to say something, but when he reached his lips, his words turned into a long sigh.
He cupped his hands towards the old man, and then pulled the reins. The black-maned horse understood instantly and ran wildly towards the Chinese army camp.
For some reason, with the war approaching, Lu Li suddenly had the idea to go and see how the people on the border were doing.
However, when he reached the city gate and saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't bear to go inside.
Foreigners should be killed!
If you encounter them in the future, just treat them as beasts.
…
Twenty thousand soldiers, which sounds like a small number, are now more than ten miles long in formation.
Especially the infantry. Every ten steps there is a person holding a gun and standing guard. Behind him is a tent that has been set up. It covers an area of five steps in radius and can accommodate ten people sleeping together.
[My companions were all frightened. We have been together for twelve years and did not know that Mulan was a girl]
The companions among them refer to these ten people.
However, Mulan's participation in the army on behalf of her father could only occur during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, because the lord Ding Yuan was extremely strict in managing the army and had clearly stipulated:
Soldiers' military bags must not only indicate the number of clothes and sundries they carry, but also register the weapons, protective gear, and military supplies they receive, and indicate the state, county, battalion, and team they belong to, as well as their names. , appearance, compiled into a file by the battalion officer.
If there is any damage or consumption, the fire chief should know its use, register it, and report it to the battalion authority every three days. Anyone who conceals it or fails to report it will be subject to military law.
And this is just one of the dozens of military disciplines. Zhang Liao once told Lu Li a truth:
If you want to be a qualified general, you must kill three out of ten soldiers, so as to frighten the enemy. Even if it fails, you must kill one person, so that the officers and soldiers of each battalion will obey orders without compromise.
Under strict military law, how long can Mulan hide?
"Meet the general."
At this time, some soldiers noticed Lu Li's appraising gaze and subconsciously performed a military salute.
Hearing this, Lu Li, who was distracted, looked away and said, "No need to be polite."
Frankly speaking, he was not made to be a general and could not regard human life as trivial. Moreover, the art of war and military law were not things that could be clarified overnight and required experience.
In addition, as a trespasser of the times, Lu Li already had a clear understanding of himself after being reminded by Zhang Liao——
It is impossible to make strategic plans and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, nor can it connect tens of thousands of troops to win the battle and capture the attack.
Therefore, the limit of his ability now is to serve as a vanguard officer, without having to worry about other chores, to kill the enemies encountered along the way and weaken their spirit, or to serve as a personal guard to protect the safety of the lord.
But the embarrassing thing is that he is not a first-class military commander in the world and lacks actual combat experience.
Unconsciously.
The black-maned horse stopped.
Lu Li returned to the camp again, and the tent was already crowded with people, including civil servants with leather belts and swords and copper seals hanging on their waists, old men on crutches, and dozens of ordinary people in ordinary clothes.
