Chapter 138 The oriole is here
Above the Ling River, the child soldiers are stationed.
The hot horse meat is cooked.
The horse meat of nine horses was picked out more than 2,000 kilograms of clean meat and hundreds of kilograms of bones, leaving a small half of the essence and marinated, and the rest was cooked.
Everyone is here at a time when they can eat.
I enjoyed the meat and soup.
Even those guys who were stained with blood for the first time in their hands said they didn’t want to eat or not, but were finally brought by the fragrance, and they went there honestly with rice bowls and soup.
After eating, they burped a little, leaving behind the people on the guards, and everyone rested.
Last night, I transported stones and dug soil to cut off rivers and canals, and everyone was exhausted.
When the two patrol officers and soldiers came over, many of them did not move and asked the people on the control to take them down.
The promotion regulations for Scouts are counted according to military merits.
Who doesn't want to get promoted earlier?
Long before they set off from Chuzhou, the auxiliary team leader Li Yuan conveyed the pension regulations for casualties.
The injured are disabled and transferred to auxiliary soldiers to be placed, and the military salary will be increased by level one to third level according to their merits.
The deceased will receive 40 taels of pension in a one-time pension. According to the merits, the military salary will be increased by one level to three level to support the parents, wife and children, and will be supported by the parents, wife and children for a hundred years.
"Bao Ye is kind!"
Li Yuan held the horse broth and looked at Huo Bao not far away, feeling a little sigh.
"It's okay now, the burden will be too heavy in the future!" Hou Xiaoming frowned.
Where can one die in war?
Such pension regulations will become a heavy burden in the future.
"The fifth master also uses this regulation! He is raised by his father and mother, and he does not provide a way out for protection. Who is willing to really work hard?" Li Yuan said.
Hou Xiaoming took a sip of the soup and stopped talking.
He is an orphan, without relatives, and the registered family member of the Child Barracks directly fills in Huo Bao's name.
Li Yuan's family member was no, so he naturally thought of this and was upset that he had made a mistake.
Among the child soldiers, 20% of them were orphan-born like Hou Xiaoming.
Alas! It’s all about this world!
...
Officers and soldiers camp.
The deputy general dared not disperse his troops anymore, so the matter of opening the river canal was left alone.
The officers had dry food, dry steamed buns, and jerky meat. They drank wine and brewed wine. It was not difficult to deal with two meals.
When the soldiers below were about to be given a meal of half a pound of chaff, they were just a meal of food for two meals in the morning and evening.
This thing is so muddy that it can be swallowed by barely, but it is really embarrassing to choke.
"I'm thirsty!"
"I picked porridge yesterday but couldn't drink it, but I didn't even have porridge today!"
"Didn't you ask someone to go to the tunnel?"
"I haven't come back... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w
“…”
If one thousand people are missing, how can we hide it?
After a while, all kinds of news spread throughout the barracks.
Everyone was surrounded to death!
All the people sent by the general were dead!
The general is withered!
Tonight is a death battle!
If you can't conquer Anding County, everyone will die!
Panic was over everyone's heads.
No one complains that the food is chaff.
In the face of life and death, it is better to have a stuttering and make your stomach feel better than nothing.
The child soldiers and scouts stared at the officers and soldiers' camps.
As soon as the army was reorganized, the news spread.
...
In Anding County.
The sentry at the gate of the city looked at the enemy camp and naturally got the news as soon as possible.
"Gods grandson! You will eventually emerge! Let me continue to ask the men to prepare well!"
Liu Biao was ready to rub his hands, feeling a little excited.
I was blocked for several days and I was already impatient.
Previously, it was because of insufficient manpower, so I could not rush out to defend the enemy in one go.
These days, thousands of young and strong people have been drawn in the city. These people cannot resist the enemy and are just enough to be assigned to each gate to defend the city.
Now that he has freed up his hand, he wants to breathe a fierce breath!
...
At dusk, the officers and soldiers camps were on standby.
The camp is two hundred feet away from the city gate. If you want to attack the city in one go, the distance will be far.
The deputy general got on the horse and led the soldiers forward a hundred feet.
Going forward further is the distance between the crossbow arrows.
The Bozhou army on the city wall laughed "haha" and was very proud.
The officers and soldiers slowly separated, pushed out several cars and arranged them one by one.
The car was covered with oil cloth, and the oil cloth was pulled off, revealing several cannons.
This is the secret weapon that the Shandong Army had taken over Xuzhou City before.
The Bozhou army on the city wall was still pointing fingers, mocking the timidity of the officers and soldiers, not knowing that danger was about to come.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Several cannons fired volleys, and the earth shook.
The Bozhou soldiers who were just pointing fingers on the city wall were hit by artillery shells and were instantly blown up.
Several warheads were missing on the city wall, and the city gates that were hit by two shells had gaps.
...
The Scout crawled behind him and was already stunned.
Huo Bao was also stunned and then understood.
He had never seen artillery in several counties in Chuzhou, so he neglected it.
Today, this world is facing history.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, firearms were already an important factor in dominating the outcome of the battlefield.
Nearly a hundred years have passed, and only artillery technology is more mature.
However, this is in the hands of the court and is not equipped to the prefecture and county level.
Otherwise, everyone wouldn't be so surprised.
...
In front of the city gate, the officers and soldiers fired a round of artillery.
This also made the Bozhou army guarding the city afraid.
The Bozhou army dodged behind the pile and waited for the second round of shelling.
There was no movement here among the officers and soldiers.
The subordinate came down to ask for instructions, and the deputy general looked at the county town and said, "Wait!"
...
The child soldiers crawling and watching the battle were first shocked by the artillery, and then became confused.
"Uncle Bao, why haven't they fought?" Huo Bao couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "It's been half an hour, and it's dark!"
"Wait for the inner responder!"
Huo Bao said: "The sound of cannons should be an agreed signal!"
”
It seems that the main function of these cannon cars is to shock.
The range is not too far, and the power to blow up is limited.
Otherwise, if the city gate and wall collapse after several rounds of gunfire are bombarded, wouldn’t it be easier to avoid trouble?
"There are those dogs everywhere!" Huo Bao gritted his teeth.
"I won't let them succeed, right?" Li Yuan was a little nervous.
...
The night is thick.
The officers and soldiers had already lit torches here, and the lights were brightly illuminated.
There was darkness on the city wall.
Suddenly, there was light on the city wall.
On the flagpole in the middle of the battlement, a torch was lit up, illuminating the scene on the city wall clearly.
...
"What's hanging down?"
"Have the Bozhou army left the city?"
Li Yuan, Liang Zhuang and others are still speculating.
Huo Bao has good eyesight and has seen clearly.
"A lot of people have been hung down, I don't know whether it's death or life!"
Then everyone knew.
The dead are silent, but the living are just a mouth.
“Woo woo…”
"Mom...Mom..."
"ah……"
The screams of a woman and the howling of a child came from a long distance.
...
The Scouts were silent.
I have long heard that Lingshui County Magistrate and Chuzhou Magistrate have used this trick, known as the "human wall", suspending the teachings of the people and the people, and resisting the White-Shirt Army's siege.
Today, Bozhou Baishan Army used this trick.
Everyone knows that these hanging people are the "insiders" and their families in the officers and soldiers' city, and their crimes should be punished.
But seeing all this with your own eyes still makes people feel harsh and harsh.
...
Officers and soldiers camp.
The general's face turned cold and knew that he would wait for a while and ordered the second round of artillery.
The soldiers of Bozhou on the city wall have learned from the past. They have already stared at the cannons. Seeing that the gunners are busy, they retreat one after another.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Surm...bang..."
The shells passed through the "human wall", and there were screams and shadows falling.
However, Huo Bao noticed the difference in the last sound of the cannon and looked at the officers and soldiers' camp.
The officers and soldiers camp was indeed a little panicked.
It's exploded!
The cannon chariots and gunners all exploded.
Flesh and bloody.
The soldiers were already anxious to wait, and they were even more restless when they saw this scene.
"Shoot again! Go to the city gate!"
The deputy general ordered again.
The third round of artillery.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
...
The fourth round of artillery.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Surm...bang..."
"Surm...bang..."
...
"The city gate is about to collapse!"
Hou Xiaoming's voice was a little excited.
Before he finished speaking, with the "rumbling" sound, the gate of Anding County collapsed into a pile of gravel.
"Dong, dun, dun!"
With the sound of war drums, the officers and soldiers have begun to charge.
"Kill the thief!"
"Kill the thief!"
"Kill the thief!"
The child soldiers crawling in the distance also began to move out, and rushed into the officers and soldiers' camp under the cover of the night.
Seeing the "soldiers" wearing the same clothes appear, the guards are still confused and the blade flashes.
"ah!"
"Enemy attack!"
"Ao!"
The sound of war drums and rushing sounds become the best cover.
In just half a quarter of an hour, the entire camp guards were killed.
"ignition!"
With the call, several fires ignited.
The figure swayed, igniting more tents.
The location of military supplies and food supplies has long been the key target, and several fires have been set off.
...
Such a large fire alarmed the officers and soldiers who were fighting against the Bozhou Army.
The deputy general stood by a horse surrounded by his personal guards, looking back at the camp, his eyes were red.
"General..."
The confidant asked with a tremolo.
The deputy general let out a long sigh, tightened the reins of the horse, and let it go.
Escape is easy?
What about after running?
Now the court is harsh on military generals, and it is easy to die in battle. If you don’t die, you will have to implicate the whole family.
"So quickly!"
The deputy general shouted loudly.
The city gate was in a mess, and the officers and soldiers were fighting each other in close combat with the Bozhou army.
The first batch of scouts wearing officers and soldiers' costumes have quietly been attached to officers and soldiers and began to harvest heads.
As for the front, I won't go.
Wouldn't it be unfair if it was accidentally injured by the Bozhou army?
During the melee, who would have thought that there would be such a man joining in?
After more than half of the casualties, the officers and soldiers finally found something wrong.
"Someone attacked!"
"Who?"
"traitor!"
The personal guards around the deputy general were also red-eyed and pulled the horse's reins and persuaded him: "Please avoid the general for a while! We will rush out!"
Everyone is afraid of death.
The deputy general was afraid again, and he was half-pushed and retreated from the city gate by his personal guards.
Behind is a military camp, burned by unknown people and cannot run away.
To the south is Linghe River, and if you don’t run far, you will be blocked by the water.
You can only run north.
After about a hundred riders, he protected the deputy general and headed north.
Before I could run far away, I heard the sound of bows and arrows.
"ah!"
"have to!"
"Plop!"
"There is an ambush in front of you, it falls..."
"Ao..."
"Swoosh swish swish!"
Another round of arrows arrived.
Someone fell off a horse again.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
After three rounds, there were still 30 and forty riders protecting the deputy general and rushed out.
When the officers and soldiers at the city gate found that the chief general was escaping, how could they have the intention to fight?
"The general ran away!"
"Run!"
"ah……"
“Woo woo…”
The soldiers dispersed and were about to rush into the darkness on the side.
The night filled with thick fog has become a life-saving straw.
Everyone ran very fast.
Hiding!
Hiding!
You can survive by hiding!
White shadow?
White vest?
ah!
White-shirted Army!
"ah!"
The screams stopped completely.
The scouts were wearing white shirts, waving their weapons, and reaping their lives one after another.
Everyone has witnessed the desolation of Quyang and knows that these wailing soldiers who flee in a panic are not pitiful.
Not allowing them to leave is their best protection for the good people.
The Bozhou army at the gate of the city was at a loss.
The officers and soldiers ran away now?
Chase or not?
Before the leader could give the order, someone discovered the White-Shirt Army in the distance.
"Reinforcements are here!"
Without waiting for the order, the Bozhou army chased after him and cooperated with the "reinforcements" to kill the defeated soldiers.
"surrender!"
"We surrender!"
“Woo woo…”
There are soldiers blocking the front and pursuers behind.
What can officers and soldiers do?
Crying and begging for surrender.
Kneel down one after another.
In the blink of an eye, there were about a hundred people kneeling down.
Whether it was the child soldiers or the Bozhou army, they involuntarily chose to continue to kill the defeated soldiers standing and resisting.
Seeing this, the other defeated soldiers immediately followed suit and rushed to throw their weapons and kneel down and surrender.
When the Bozhou army and the child soldiers joined forces, there were corpses of the defeated soldiers and hundreds of prisoners of war kneeling on the ground.
The young general of the Bozhou Army was surrounded by his confidants, and Huo Bao also took his men forward a few steps.
"But General Liu?"
The young general's eyes fell on Huo Bao's mace, and his face was filled with surprise: "Chuzhou Xiao General Huo?!"
The soldiers of Bozhou looked at each other.
The Scouts were also a little nervous.
The officers and soldiers have been defeated, who knows what the Bozhou army will react?
Everyone remembers that Chuzhou and Bozhou have old grudges!
So... everyone fought so hard before, why?
"Da da da da da da!"
The crisp sound of horse hooves came from the north.
Following, there is a dull sound of footsteps.
Whether it was the child soldiers or the Bozhou army, both sides looked to the north and were on guard.
To the north, in the misty night, the torches spread endlessly.
Chapter completed!
