Zhao Xuanyi chuckled lightly and said casually, "When people leave and the tea cools, everything will stop. Thousands of troops and horses guard the shore. Only when the weather is cold do you know that people's hearts are warm. Loyal soldiers can be seen in the lonely city!" 】
After hearing this, Shen Wei turned to look at Zhao Xuanyi. Seeing the situation in front of him and Zhao Xuanyi's words, Shen Wei felt very sad. However, such knowledgeable words came from Zhao Xuanyi's mouth, which was really unbelievable. Was that the second young master of the Zhao family who was ignorant and had no skills and drank and had fun every day? He is very suspicious!
At night, the city walls are brightly lit, and the torches sway with the breeze, as if they are dancing the Persian dance. The soldiers standing guard are all majestic and stand up like statues. The military style is very good!
The soldiers outside and inside the city wall did not rest. Tang Tianli was still working with his men outside, and Sun Yan inside did not relax at all. Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei inspected the city wall, and saw Su Xiaoding and a group of soldiers working on the city wall. Install the wheel as a fixed pulley, and four of them have been assembled!
Zhao Xuanyi walked closer and patted the wheel with his hand. It was very sturdy and the groove in the middle of the wheel was well made. The rope was stuck in it and was very tight. A huge falling stone was placed on the city wall.
【boom! 】The huge sound startled everyone, and Zhao Xuanyi pushed the falling stone from the city wall, startling Tang Tianli, who was digging a horse pit outside, and almost fainted with a cry of "Oh my God" "What are you doing?" Tang Tianli shouted loudly.
Zhao Xuanyi stood on the edge of the city wall and laughed loudly, "Pull up!"
"Yes!" The three soldiers grabbed the rope behind the wheel, pulled the falling stone up again without much effort, and then placed the falling stone on the city wall again so that it could be reused.
Zhao Xuanyi walked over and looked at the rope tied to the falling stone. It was very stable and he couldn't help but nodded, "Su Xiaoding, you did a good job! When this battle is over, remember to ask me to collect the reward!"
"Yes!" Su Xiaoding shouted, and the other soldiers were very happy when they saw that the falling stone could be used repeatedly. How much work force did this virtually reduce? At a time when resources are so scarce, I didn’t expect this centurion to actually have a trick!
Zhao Xuanyi looked outside the city wall through the dim firelight and saw that there were more than forty horse traps on the ground. He nodded with satisfaction. He didn't expect that Tang Tianli was really doing something. Then he checked the situation of the city gate. I saw that more than half of the city gate hole, which was more than ten meters long, had been blocked by Sun Yan and his men, and the soldiers continued to transport broken bricks and soil. Zhao Xuanyi was even more satisfied!
"Tell Tan Beiping that for dinner tonight, bring out all the delicious food for me. Don't let the brothers go hungry. Eat well!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Thank you, Centurion!" dozens of soldiers shouted.
"Thank you for what? This is what the brothers deserve!" Zhao Xuanyi burst into laughter after saying this.
When the hot meal was served, Zhao Xuanyi frowned and was surprised when he saw a plate of cabbage and radish, and another plate of unfamiliar pickles, plus the staple white rice!
"Is this our best meal?" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Shen Wei and asked.
Shen Wei smiled bitterly, "Young Master, your body is used to it, this is not bad. If it is normal, it is just white rice and pickles. This is a frontier land, and there is no farming all year round. It is just these grains and pickles." , or it was transported here!”
Only then did Zhao Xuanyi understand that the food of ancient soldiers was so poor. Not to mention meat, there were only two kinds of simple vegetables. When he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite, Zhao Xuanyi wanted to spit it out. The food was too bland and there was no food at all. No taste, forgot to add salt?
Turning to look at the other soldiers, he found that they were devouring their food. A plate of green vegetables was snatched away in the blink of an eye. Seeing this scene, Zhao Xuanyi secretly swore in his heart that if he had the final say one day, he would definitely change the soldiers' food. It was incomparable. The domestic army can't be so harsh, it's ridiculous! Is this for human consumption?
The morning sun is still dazzling, and the warm light shines on the earth, but it looks so sad. There are no dense forests outside the city, and there are no sweet birdsong. There are only the cold breeze from the border and the empty loess!
A chaotic sound of horse hooves came from the distance, and a group of soldiers wearing clothes made of animal skins and rags, holding scimitars and long bows in their hands, were slowly walking towards the direction of Huangling City. This group of people His face was smeared with red animal blood, with a ferocious expression on his face, like a Rakshasa!
The leader is a young man of about twenty-five years old, with a group of tall brown horses on his crotch, holding a bright seven-ring ghost-headed sword in his hand, wearing a fox fur tribal hat on his head, and a white coat. The tiger skin coat shows that this person serves differently from others. This noble outfit also means that he is a Tatar noble!
The man has dark skin on his face and a pair of big murderous eyes. He looks like the eyes of a beast in the forest eager to kill! His thick lips were curled up in a very dissatisfied manner. It was obvious at a glance that this man was very dissatisfied with his job!
This man is the third son of the Tatar commander, Dugqin Mandu Latu! Latu believed that he was born with supernatural power. If he was fighting against the Ming army, he would be a vanguard. But why did his father let him lead a thousand people to attack such a little-known town?
This decision deeply hurt Latu's self-esteem, but his father had given the order and he could not refute it. Thinking of his two brave and important brothers, he always felt so motivated in his heart! He felt very unhappy about this mission!
As for these thousand people marching towards Huangling City, they had already been discovered by the Ming army's scouts, and they hurried back to Huangling City to convey the message!
Zhao Xuanyi, who was sleeping, was woken up by a burst of noise. Zhao Xuanyi was so angry that he sat up and looked around. Come on! Without returning to his own world, it seemed that sleeping was impossible. Zhao Xuanyi got out of bed and opened the door, only to see Shen Wei standing at the door with a nervous face.
"What's wrong so early in the morning?" Zhao Xuanyi rubbed his eyes and said dissatisfiedly.
"Young Master, the Tatar army is less than a mile away from the city gate. They are here as soon as we say it!" Shen Wei thought to himself that although Zhao Xuanyi's change is surprising, they are really fighting now and cannot tolerate any jokes!
When Zhao Xuanyi heard that the enemy troops were coming, he was slightly panicked, "Let's go and take a look at the city wall!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he walked out, but was tightly held by Shen Wei. Zhao Xuanyi was very surprised, "Brother Shen, what are you holding me to?" ?”
"Young Master, are you going out like this?" Shen Wei asked in shock, his eyes seeming to ask whether you are ill or not?
"Otherwise?" Zhao Xuanyi really didn't understand what Shen Wei meant!
Shen Wei turned to look at the soldiers on the side and said, "Bring it up!"
"Yes!" Four soldiers walked into the room with various items in their hands.
Zhao Xuanyi took a look and saw that it was actually a suit of armor? That is armor! I’ve only seen this thing in TV dramas, and no one has ever worn it. It’s really new when I see it for the first time!
Shen Wei took one and tied it on Zhao Xuanyi's chest, like a child's scarf for eating and drinking soup. "This is to cover your shoulders and protect your neck and shoulders!"
Then he took two large pieces of armor, "This is the chest and back armor!" Zhao Xuanyi didn't ask. It was very similar to modern body armor, except that the inside was filled with pieces of armor in the shape of fish scales, with a plate in the front and a plate in the back, and a leather plate in the middle. The rope is tight!
Then there are two larger pieces of armor, with leather and iron on the outside, and fish scale armor in the middle. "This is a skirt armor!" It looks like a skirt, but on each side, not like a cheongsam. It opens and closes front and back!
Then there were two small pieces of armor, smaller than the breastplate. "This is the trouser armor and the falcon's tail!" Wearing it around his waist, Zhao Xuanyi lowered his head and looked at it. One was to protect the crotch of the little brother, and the other was to protect the buttocks. !
He took out two more shiny and bright metal tiger heads. Zhao Xuanyi really didn't know what they were for. "These are shoulder swallowers!" After saying that, they were installed on Zhao Xuanyi's shoulders!
Zhao Xuanyi took a look and realized that this was what he was doing. He saw that the two tigers were very lifelike with their heads and shoulders swallowing each other. They were mighty and domineering. They were very majestic. He liked them very much, but they were a bit heavy!
Then put on two pieces of arm armor on the arms, tie another piece on the waist, called the strong waist, and finally put on the helmet! This was the end. When Zhao Xuanyi finished wearing this suit of armor, he was dumbfounded!
This set of armor weighs nearly sixty kilograms. The wontons on the shoulders look majestic and domineering, but each one weighs more than five kilograms. It feels like there are two hills pressing on his shoulders. The thick armor all over the body makes it difficult for Zhao Xuanyi to walk, and even more. Forget about killing enemies by running!
"Brother Shen? Do you have to go up wearing this suit of armor?" Zhao Xuanyi asked reluctantly.
"Of course!" Shen Wei said directly without any room for euphemism.
Zhao Xuanyi gritted his teeth and took heavy steps. Although it was very heavy, he could not walk or it was a little difficult. Shen Wei put a steel knife in Zhao Xuanyi's hand and said, "I wish you victory, young master!"
Zhao Xuanyi looked at the leather scabbard in his hand and said thank you so much. When the two led all the soldiers to the city wall, Zhao Xuanyi took a big breath and was covered in sweat. The sweat on his face was raining down. In general, why don't actors in Xindao movies have any sweat on their faces? Am I weak?
Five hundred meters away, the Tatar army had already formed a formation. In the front row were nearly a hundred spearheads holding shields, then about two hundred axemen holding weapons stood in the middle of the formation, and behind them were two hundred Archers holding longbows on their left and right, and carrying quivers on their backs!
There were nearly a hundred cavalrymen holding scimitars on both sides. All the soldiers' faces were fierce and murderous, as if he was their father-killing enemy. Zhao Xuanyi looked at the soldiers on his side with the corner of his eye and found that Most people’s legs were already shaking and they were so scared!
After all, it would be false to say that he is not afraid of the opponent's formation and the oppression of his troops. Zhao Xuanyi himself is also panicking, but now that the army is approaching, panic cannot solve any problem!
And looking at the formation on the opposite side, Zhao Xuanyi smiled inwardly. This group of Tatar barbarians also knew tactics. They were not just a group of brainless fools like what was said in the game. Look at this formation, its mobility, defense, and offense. The route, etc., I guess the opponent has already practiced it a long time ago, I really can't underestimate it!
