Chapter 2 Yan Zhao Fengyun Chapter 9
Before joining the army, Ji Ming was a carriage driver. Because his family was poor, he could not afford to marry a wife. He became an angry soldier. He participated in several campaigns to quell the rebellion of the Wuwan people, made military achievements, and was promoted to the governor. He became an officer, and had more rank and wealth, but instead became rich. Ji Ming married a wife last year, the daughter of a county official in Xu Wucheng. He felt happy and smiled everywhere he went.
When he saw Li Hong, Li Hong was sleeping on the city wall with his hair loose. Li Hong had always disliked his hair tied up. Perhaps he had gotten used to being in the Xianbei area, and he felt that loose hair could make people feel unrestrained and more comfortable. In Lu Longshu, due to military rules, he had to tie it with a cloth rope and put on a helmet.
When Ji Ming saw Li Hong at the first glance, he felt that this person was worth making friends. What impressed Li Hong the most was his honesty and honesty, followed by his murderous aura. A shocking murderous aura came to his face. Ji Ming heard about Li Hong for a few days, but today he finally saw this rumored man. Li Hong was pushed by Ji Ming and got up, preparing to salute his boss, but was stopped by Ji Ming.
Looking at Li Hong's smiling face and tall and strong body, Ji Ming's first sentence was: "You are so strong."
"Can you tell me about the daytime battle? I was under Guannei City, and I only heard that you were fighting fiercely here, and I didn't see the specific situation."
The new boss has an order, and Li Hong naturally needs to answer it.
It was already very cold in the early winter night. The mountain wind blew, making a scream like ghosts and wolves howling, and the trees swayed in the wind, trembling. There was a faint smell of blood floating in the air.
Li Hong told the afternoon battle and expressed his own opinions.
"The main reason for the great casualties today is that we were not prepared enough, and we didn't expect the enemy to choose to attack here. As a result, we had a hasty response, resulting in a lack of rules in the defense and fell into a melee with the enemy. Secondly, the enemy's bows and arrows were shot endlessly, completely suppressing the support of our two routes, which is also one of the reasons for the increase in casualties."
Ji Ming was surprised to find that this seemingly generous and generous man not only spoke very well, but also calmly, and his analysis and judgment of things were accurate. He must be very knowledgeable and had read a lot of books, otherwise he would not be so smart. Ji Ming thought about it and asked him, "Then what suggestions do you have for tomorrow's defense?"
"If the defense continues to be so passive, our losses will be very large. The key is to take the initiative in defense."
"The initiative of defense? I don't understand what you said. Can you say it more in detail?"
"Due to the mountain, the enemy has fully utilized their strengths. They use different highs and lows to suppress our defense with dense long arrows. If they cannot break their bow and arrow troops, no matter how we defend, they will be very passive and the losses will become greater and greater."
"Do you have a way to break it?" Ji Ming asked anxiously.
The mountain wind blew Li Hong's long hair away and the cold air penetrated into the flesh along the armor on his body. Li Hong couldn't help but fight a cold war. Looking at Meishan shrouded in the darkness, he didn't make a sound for a long time.
Ji Ming said disappointedly: "Is there nothing you can do?"
Li Hong thought of Zhou Hao, and he seemed to see Zhou Hao covered in arrows again, shouting and running on the city wall. "Burn it and burn this mountain." Li Hong suddenly pointed to the forest in front of him and said gritting his teeth.
Ji Ming's eyes lit up. He seemed to see a fire burning in the woods. Xianbei soldiers struggled in the fire, shouting. Ji Ming cheered, ignored Li Hong and turned around and ran to Wangri Tower.
Not long after, Wu Fei and Wang Jin hurried over. Li Hong hurriedly greeted the army Sima and the army waiter.
Wang Jin looked at Li Hong with a very appreciative look and said with a smile: "You are a black man? Not bad, smart. He is the one who suspected that the enemy wanted to fill the platform with a soil bag in the morning, right?" He turned to ask Wu Fei.
Wu Fei nodded, "It's him. He is a talent. The magistrate should recommend it to the magistrate."
Wang Jin patted Li Hong on the shoulder hard and praised him a few more words: "No, good. You have a good idea. We can also make appropriate use of it more ideal."
Wu Fei hurriedly asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
"We must lure more enemies, and even give them the entire Meilou. This way, once the fire is burned, the enemy's losses will be greater. I see where they will escape this time."
In the middle of the night, the captain Tian Jing personally came with a squad of soldiers. The soldiers quietly climbed down the city wall along the rope while taking advantage of the night. After they threw a large amount of flammable materials in the hidden places in the woods, they carried more tincture oil and other ignition items, and disappeared into the dark night like ghosts.
Li Hong was awakened by the horns of the horns. He got up sleepily and looked towards the Hu clan alliance camp. The flags were waving in the camp, and people shouted and neighed. The enemy seemed to be going out today and was going to launch a full-scale attack. Li Hong subconsciously glanced at the dense forest outside the city. Yesterday, the enemy's storm-like attack scared him.
The soldiers standing guard on the city tower suddenly rang the gong to call the police. Li Hong was very disgusted with the sound. He felt that the sound was fragile and powerless, far less than the sound of the Hu people's horn. The low and thick sound of the horn makes people feel the majestic momentum of the prairie and the vast and desolate desert. Of course, what he likes the most is the drum sound. The drum sound is thicker than the horn sound, and has a more majestic and invincible aura.
On Meishan Mountain, the enemy appeared. It was exactly the same as yesterday. They began to shoot intensively. The infantry set up the ladder and the assault troops began to climb the city. The Han army learned from yesterday's lessons. The troops did not garrison, but were scattered on the long city wall. More than 200 people started from one end of the main city wall and extended to the Meilou. This defense method was particularly unfavorable to the enemy's key attacks. However, in the absence of other ways to avoid the enemy's rain of arrows, this was the only way to avoid the danger of reinforcements on both wings being blocked by the enemy yesterday.
It was not until his attacking soldiers climbed up the ladder that the long-range soldiers stopped shooting. But then more close-range soldiers shot arrows in their hands to help their siege soldiers continue to suppress the Han army on the city wall.
Since the enemy's shooting began, until the enemy climbed up the city wall, the Han army was suppressed by the enemy's bows and arrows and could not stand out. Li Hong was so angry that he waited for the enemy to stick out his head above him. A frightened face suddenly appeared in front of Li Hong. Li Hong dodged away from the other party's stabbing, and at the same time swung the sword and slashed the enemy's head. The enemy let out a heart-wrenching scream and fell down the ladder. The long arrow that had been falling like a heavy rain suddenly stopped. The enemy roared wildly and began the battle to seize the city.
Li Hong stood at the entrance of the battlements of the city wall where he was defending. The sword was waving and struggling to block the enemy's attack without fear. Seven or eight dead enemies were lying around him. A large Xianbei man was fighting against Li Hong head-on, and sparks shot up everywhere with the harsh metal impact. The enemy soldiers who climbed up immediately appeared on the city wall and were immediately hit by an arrow. Seeing that he could not survive, the big man suddenly roared and jumped up with great strength, spread his hands and waved to the opposite side.
Li Hong was carried away by the sword. Li Hong was caught off guard and was held directly by him. With the huge impact force of the man jumping down, the two of them fell heavily on the top of the city wall. The enemy soldiers who were fighting against Li Hong were very strong. They immediately followed up and swung the sword round and chopped Li Hong's neck. Li Hong was suppressed by the enemy's body and had no way to resist. Li Hong instinctively roared wildly. Death came too fast. Before he could do anything to his country, he was about to behead him with a knife.
Ji Ming roared, resisting the attack of the enemy behind him. Before the enemy's sword fell, he stabbed his sword into the enemy's vest and made him feel cold. The enemy looked at Li Hong on the ground with infinite regret, and suddenly fell down. Li Hong picked up the sword thrown by the enemy, used all his strength, and roared and threw it into the enemy soldier who was about to chop off Ji Ming's sword.
Li Hong pushed off the corpse pressing on his body, turned over and got up, looked at Ji Ming with gratitude, and once again rushed towards the area he defended like a madman. There were more enemies there crawling in from the ladder.
On the main city wall, Tian Jing stood in the middle, looking at the densely packed enemy troops under the city, and patiently waiting for the enemy to launch an attack.
"Sir, Wu Yan is rubbing against something. The attack number has been ringing twice, but I haven't seen him attack yet. Is he playing tricks on us?" Chai Ting stood next to Tian Jing, very anxious.
"Looking at his appearance, I don't seem to want to attack in the morning. Is he dragging us to prevent us from reinforcementing the Meilou?" Wang Jin said with a serious expression on the other side of Tian Jing.
"Wuyan is so smart. After he made a gesture, we couldn't move. It's impossible to tell that King Khan Lu is quite good at fighting, so he can't underestimate him." Tian Jing said with a smile.
"Wait a fire to burn thousands of his people, and see if he dares to fool us." Chai Ting said gloatingly.
"It is unlikely that burning thousands of him, but at least he can stop attacking Meilou, and it can also severely hit their arrogance... We lack such a burden and can deal with the positive enemies wholeheartedly. Relatively speaking, we will be more sure of sticking to the longer-term."
Tian Jing said as she looked at Yunlou on the mountain on the right, "I'm afraid that they won't make another plan and attack Yunlou, it's bad."
"Sir, he doesn't have so many troops to dispatch. If he really has the courage to attack Yunlou, we will burn him again." Wang Jin also looked at Yunlou with concern and said softly.
Tian Jing sighed and said, "This strategy can only be used once. Wu Yan is very cunning, he is not a fool."
Tian Jing paused for a while and suddenly said, "The original design of this fortress requires three thousand soldiers to guard it. If my Han Dynasty had been deploying troops according to this number of people, how could such a dangerous situation be there now?"
"Sir, Grandpa Liu will arrive in time, don't worry. If reinforcements arrive in a few days, our Lu Longsai will be a real iron wall."
One hour later, the enemy was killed and retreated. Ji Ming's troops suffered huge losses, with nearly one hundred people being carried down. There is nothing to be a speculative way to take advantage of this kind of hand-to-hand combat, either dead or injured. Generally speaking, a city is not far from being captured when it is captured. Both the enemy and us fight against each other. Whoever has more people can end up with it.
Ji Ming stared at the enemies in the woods in the distance, and it was still difficult to accept the ferocity and tenacity of the Xianbei soldiers. As long as they rushed up the city wall, they would never look back until they died in battle. This pure way of killing death is really jaw-dropping. These are a group of people who are desperate.
Li Hong took a piece of pancake and quietly walked behind Ji Ming, "Godden, please have some."
Ji Ming turned around and saw Li Hong chewing the food in his mouth hard, and said vaguely: "The Xianbei people came too early, and we didn't even eat."
Ji Ming took the cake from his hand, tear a small piece into his mouth.
"The barbarians are too fierce. No wonder you lost those who were big yesterday."
Li Hong smiled bitterly. After so many fights, he was gradually numb. He saw too much blood, lost too many friends, and countless lives turned into ashes in front of his eyes. He no longer had any interest in life and death in the world. Sometimes he even thought that dying was better than living, and he didn't know anything, and he had to do anything, and he was happy.
"The Xianbei people advocate martial arts and despise cowardly and incompetent people. They have always been like this." Li Hong sat on the wall with Ji Ming, basking in the warm sun, and said slowly. He remembered the iron wolf, Gongsun Hu, and Murong Feng.
"The Xianbei people were originally a brave and fearless nation. In the past, under the leadership of the king Tan Shihuai, they fought all over the world and swept the world. Fortunately, Tan Shihuai suddenly died."
Ji Ming nodded, "The Xianbei people are much more powerful than the Wuwan people."
The two of them chatted softly and slowly.
Li Hong saw Ji Ming take out a very beautiful green lotus-shaped sachet, hold it in his hand, and look at it affectionately.
"What is this? It's still very fragrant?"
Ji Ming looked at Li Hong strangely, "Don't you even know the sachet?"
Li Hong scratched his head embarrassedly, "I am a countryman and I have never seen it."
"Often girls like someone, they will make one for each other to express their love." Ji Ming said softly with a happy smile on his face.
Li Hong nodded, "Oh, that's the case. Is this what my wife gave to you?"
Ji Ming carefully stroked the sachet and nodded repeatedly.
"Do you have someone you like?" Ji Ming suddenly asked him.
