Nanguan is not a wall, but three cities and seven towns, and it is not a building wall built together.
Nanguan is just a name. The official name is Nanyangguan. The outermost cities are Fengyang and Julan, which are also called Yangcheng and Lancheng by the locals.
The two cities are built on the mountains, each with two camps, and are not connected in the middle. Together with the second camp of Juncheng at the rear, the three cities look like the word "pin" upside down. From the topography, they look more like It's two eggs and one intestine.
If we attack from the northwest sides, the three cities and the mountains will form a "concave" shape.
There are no mountains or cities in the empty area in the middle of the concave shape. It is actually the best "killing" area. Unless you are a player like Guan Wen who focuses on participation, others will not attack the middle at all. They usually surround Lan City. , Dalan City, which is the outermost Guancheng.
There are two reasons. First, Lancheng is closest to the mountains and forests on the south side, so you can use local materials to attack the city. Secondly, Lancheng's terrain is not high and there are mountains next to it. If you are a small-scale team, you can enter the mountains first and go around to the east side of Lancheng to attack. The east defensive line of the city.
Lan City alone has experienced no less than a hundred battles, large and small, from ancient times to the present. It has been constantly destroyed and taken back again. It has been baptized by the flames of war, and its walls have been reinforced countless times to increase its military strength.
The city is eleven meters high and more than five meters thick. There are only three gates in the southeast and northwest directions. The east gate is sealed and connected to the mountains and forests. There are 28 arrow towers alone. The other three gates and walls have various defensive buildings.
Outside Lancheng, there are mountains and mountains, peak after peak. The mountains are high and far away, and the peaks are deep and cliffs are endless.
The previous dynasty went out to fight several times, hoping to chase the victory and drive out all the foreigners in Nanguan. However, after entering the mountain, they could only open up a few dangerous roads, which could only allow two cars and three horses to pass abreast. In addition, after entering the mountain, there were constant epidemics and no enemies were seen. It has already caused many soldiers to suffer from serious diseases.
The foreign tribes had little property. When they saw the Han army coming, they broke into pieces. They could run away with their animal skin tents and could not catch up.
The mountain forest is extremely humid, so even if you set the mountain on fire, it will only burn the outer edges, and the thick smoke will drift to the north, which is not worth the loss.
It is worth mentioning that there were many times when Fanman saw that he could not solve the problem. When he retreated, he burned some mountains and let the smoke fall to Lancheng.
It was already night when Han You arrived at Lancheng.
There are endless tents next to the city gate, and people are surging above the city.
Some armies are called military armies, and some armies are called border armies.
If there is a chain of contempt among the military, then the frontier soldiers must be Shanghainese and foreigners from Shanghai.
However, the troops of the Southern Army do not rely on household registration books, but have real abilities.
It can be seen that there is a leopard in the pipe. After Lu Baichuan revealed his identity, when everyone entered Lancheng, they were greeted by a murderous atmosphere.
The whole city has turned into a large military camp. The military camp is filled with smoke and dust, and the flames on the torches are flickering. The soldiers are sitting around the campfire. The long knives and spears on the weapon racks have not yet been killed. The enemy thieves already exuded a faint smell of blood.
The flags of each major camp were fluttering in the wind in the darkness. As night fell, those silent soldiers, even ordinary sergeants, were like ghosts in the darkness, silent and deadly.
Their bodies are not burly, at least most of the troops are not burly, and many of the troops are even a little thin.
But even these thin-looking men, when they pick up long knives, climb up the city tower, or fall into the enemy's formation, they will be like bloodthirsty demons breaking free from the shackles of hell and hacking off the heads of enemy thieves with their knives. , the knife drinks blood, the face is stained with blood, the feet step on blood, the roar is in the blood, it stands in the blood, and falls in the blood.
If the long knife breaks, they will wave their fists to knock down the enemy thieves.
When their arms are tired, they will use their teeth to bite the enemy's throat.
When their teeth are broken, they will lie on the ground full of blood and die calmly, cursing their enemies in the most vicious and vulgar language. For the sake of the people and the country, they will persist until they completely lose the vitality of life. Their eyes lose their luster and they persist until their heart stops beating. Before the heart stops beating, they will use the best and most decisive way to protect their homeland and country.
This is the army of the Confederate army, silently weaving quivers, silently polishing weapons, silently ready at any time.
In many camps, the sergeants were sound asleep. Their sleep was so peaceful and sweet, even sweeter than before.
Because they know that if they sleep for a while longer, they will accumulate more physical strength. With more physical strength, they will cut down one more enemy. If they cut down one more enemy, one less common person will be massacred by the enemy thieves.
Han You asked the 300 Zhechongfu sergeants who followed him to report to the captains.
Later, some troops from Zhechong Prefecture will come over with auxiliary barracks. They may stay, or they may be ordered to go to the rear to escort grain and grass.
Once the border passes into wartime, all military preparation offices and auxiliary barracks on Shangyang Road, which is closest to the border among the three roads in the South, must obey the orders of the deputy commander and commander-in-chief of the Southern Army. The captain of the Zhechong Prefecture will not move unless the court issues an order. Order.
In addition to Shangyang Road, there are two other roads, Minghuai Road and Mingyuan Road. The former urgently transports grain and grass, and the latter changes defense.
Han You dismounted and led a few friends and old friends towards the city wall, where there were the most people and the most camps under the city wall.
The friends just entered the city with their military symbols and did not make too much noise.
This is also what Han You requested. He doesn't like "publicity".
He had read a report that during the reconstruction of the disaster area, at the most critical moment, a so-called leader came. The busy and exhausted people dragged their exhausted bodies and ran back to meet the so-called leader. The tired people shouted hoarsely. throat, shouting that the leader has worked hard.
Being a leader is very hard, and you have to rack your brains to figure out which look is the most user-friendly and the hardest when taking photos.
The most fucked-up thing in the world is this. When someone is carrying a heavy burden and moving forward, there must be a lot of bastards helping them live in peace.
Han You doesn't want to be this kind of person who spends his time peacefully.
In fact, it was quite hard for him. Since arriving in the Southland, he has been constantly running around and having accidents. However, this kind of hard work cannot be compared with the troops guarding the pass.
How can we compare it? Could it be said that what the army has sacrificed is just life, while I, Han You, have sacrificed physical strength.
Looking up at the towering city wall, Han You's heart surged.
A general will die in a hundred battles, and a strong man will return after ten years.
As we all know, many of the generals at the border are promoted from the grassroots ranks of the military, especially for the position of captain, and most of them have no background.
Could it be that they became captains and generals because they were good at both civil and military affairs and were among the best among men?
The answer is no, because they simply survived.
A strong man returns home after ten years. With so many troops at the border, how many of them can survive ten years in the battle?
Even if he lived to "ten years" and became a school captain, it was precisely because the senior officers had lost their loyalty to their souls.
Precisely because they were promoted from the grassroots level, they were brothers and sisters with other troops. They always took the lead and always charged into battle. In the end, they turned into withered bones and were buried three feet under. He was promoted to captain, then took the lead, and then charged into battle.
This is like an unbreakable curse in the military: die for peace and live for war.
The reason why the frontier army is brave is precisely because those corps commanders, flag officers, flag officers, captains, and generals are mostly promoted from the grassroots level. Those who rise from the grassroots level are not afraid of death and dare not charge into battle. In the end, This curse has become a legacy, and it is a legacy that is continued with blood and fire, and even with life.
When Han You came to the foot of the city tower, he was stopped in his tracks.
They are the troops who supervise the camp, responsible for patrolling the city and conducting detailed inspections. There are only twelve people in each team. During the war, they serve as supervisors, that is, soldiers who supervise the war.
It's just that the soldiers supervising the battle in the border army did not wear long swords, but carried large shields on their backs.
Because when people like them are needed to supervise the battle, they don't need to wear long swords to kill deserters, they only need to lead the charge of the new soldiers with big shields.
There are no cowards in the southern army, and there is no need for soldiers to supervise the war!
Facing the soldiers who quickly surrounded him and others with cold faces, Han You showed his cards.
"My name is Han You, and I would like to see your commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief."
The leading troops looked wary: "Why are you wearing general armor, and why do you want to see our commander? When did the Southland have a fourth-grade general of your age?"
Han You showed his badge: "The swordsman of the emperor's personal military ceremonial guard, Han You."
The twelve soldiers supervising the war were all stunned. Then, they showed Han You what "second change" means. One second, he was cold and ruthless, and the next second, he was licking a dog and bending over.
"My nunniang."
The leading soldier supervising the battle was surprised and delighted, and blurted out: "You are the son of General Han. General Han's... general... younger brother, and father, have all been kicked by your father!"
The guy's face was full of pride and he repeated: "Your father kicked him himself."
Han You: "..."
The ecstatic governor was speechless, turned around and raised his head and shouted: "Brothers, he is the son of General Han, the son of General Han, Han You, alive, right here, alive, big living man, come quickly , don’t let him run away, he’s the son of General Han.”
Before Han You could react, the next second, like dumplings falling from the inner city wall, the lowest one was three meters, and the highest one was at least five meters. A large group of people jumped or climbed down, and the sound of armor clashing could be heard endlessly.
In an instant, Han You was completely overwhelmed.
