There is amidst the severity of patrols and scheming.

Li Tieniu, who was already a general of the selection of the striker, also brought a group of soldiers who were fully armed to the teeth and wandered between the yard areas of the inner city.

As the saying goes, any military order with the font sizes of vanguard, selection of the striker, first step, first move, trapping, jumping, etc., represents the most brave and elite athletes in the army.

What can continue to maintain this title and title after the war was that among the tens of thousands of troops, selected and eliminated from one army, and only hundreds of people were selected from one hundred to hundreds.

Therefore, they also have additional exclusive allowances and subsidies, first-level benefits and preferential treatment than the non-commissioned officers, and after the battle, they give priority to selecting spoils and obtaining supplementary rest; they usually have their own special flags and badges, signs, relatively relaxed and independent vacations, and other special honors.

Now Li Tieniu is a proud honorable member of the former army.

But at this moment, his eyes seemed to be unable to turn away for the time being. Because there were a vast area of ​​Jiadi Mansion everywhere.

The high walls with ups and downs cannot be seen at first glance, between the deep mansions and yards, the carved beams, painted eaves and brackets, and the colorful red and green gardens. They all show the unique and magnificent style of the North and the historical heritage of the first Anton family in the past.

It is said that at its peak, the Luo family lived here according to the distance between the master and the illegitimate relatives and illegitimate relatives. The Luo family lived here for generations, and the slaves and servants who followed and followed their subordinates for generations, and were responsible for serving them, and the total number of tens of thousands of people was tens of thousands.

But now, walking on the spacious street made of large shiny bluestone slabs, there are no pedestrians or chariots, and there are depressions everywhere.

Some households are more filial to their homes, and some are even double the old mourning and new mourning, and even the multiple funeral banners swaying in the wind.

Seeing this scene, Li Tieniu suddenly felt a little dull and boring. As the saying goes, people's lives are as cheap as earth in troubled times. Even such great vassal princes in the rich and powerful land are no exception. In comparison, his former hometown, now Qingzhou under the rule of Huaidong, is it really a rare and peaceful chaos? It's a corner.

Thinking of this, he stuffed a hard whale meat strip into his mouth with his hands, chewing it with a delicious taste.

This is also one of his favorite snacks, a product with great local characteristics in the South China Sea. It is said that every time a giant whale is hunted, the meat, fat, skin, glue obtained is often measured in hundreds of thousands of pounds, which can easily meet the needs of hundreds of families for a month.

Even the viscera and bone fertilization are extremely useful. Therefore, various cetacean products are also one of the bulk imported from Huaidong.

Although, except for a few parts that are tenderer than fatter than lambs, most of the meat on whales is thick and old, but for those who have tasted the bitter taste of hunger, it is still a real meaty taste;

What's more, the fireheads in the army are also working extremely hard to create new things in cooking and processing methods. Therefore, these large buckets of whale meat are marinated with sauce and salt and cut into thin slices or strips. Whether it is stewed with grain bricks, roasted with oil, or fried into crispy meat floss; they are all good choices and flavors.

Suddenly, in the deserted streets, running figures flashed by, and the sound of heavy objects dragging inwards, several soldiers immediately separated from the team and stepped forward to find out what was going on.

Standing at the entrance of the alley before he could say a few words, he was stunned by the shattered flying knives and crossbow arrows flying towards him, and immediately hit the patrol sergeants who had been questioning and visiting him, and then pierced them to the ground with muffled groans.

"Prepare the enemy...change the formation"

Li Tie and Newton shouted, and opened a scattering flying knife.

"Whistle blow...Warning"

"Yu Ziyu, attack and advance..."

A series of slogans were shouted, and at this time the remaining people also raised the long and short muskets in their hands, and shot them out briefly and rapidly in the direction of the knife projecting.

In an instant, dust in the walls and brick walls in the alleys splashed, and sporadic screams came out from behind.

Then, as the walls along the street fell down amid the flying dust, there were more people silhouettes; like an ant hole being stabbed open, or like a beehive being knocked over, she was covered with faces and soldiers and rushed towards his patrol patrol.

But Li Tieniu, who was the first to be brutal, was not angry but happy. He flipped his hands and turned his back to two empty rulers and half short guns, waving the heavy and strong thick wooden butt stock as if he was a hammer, and roaring and rushing towards these armed murderers.

I could only hear the sound of the plump flesh, and immediately swept and smashed several opponents like two windmills, including the brains that shattered them and the twisted limbs, and they were thrown to the side like sweeping garbage...

In the wilderness on the south bank of the Prince River, the sound of drums and flags surging like forests were gradually approaching Liaocheng within a visible distance.

However, the latest discovery made the leader who came out of the army a little surprised, and he did not dare to submit it to the army in the back formation quickly.

"Damn it...extremely"

Luo Zhanrong was a little angry. Looking at the newly built wind and thunder flags on the silence of the city, he felt furious and as if he had been knocked on the head, and he became dizzy.

The worst result happened. It was all because Boluo was the group of rats who were not good enough to do anything. At least he had entrusted his heavy responsibilities and trust, but he wanted to turn things into such a virtue.

Now, not only are there several partial masters who restrained and echoed him outside the city, they should create chaos while waiting for an opportunity to seize the key points of the portal, or mix into the city to play the role of internal and external cooperation;

In the end, the Huaidong Army actually asked the city to go to the city to defend himself. Could it be that his plan to seize the city with great force was simply ineffective?

Although his troops seemed to be very powerful, some of them were sincerely following him and seeking this great cause; and some were half-hearted or both sides of the rat, who followed him purely for the sake of profit and promise; or they were vainly plaguing the snake, and had to surrender under their strength...

But he was still a little unwilling to give in and gave a few instructions behind him. After a while, a hasty siege unit, holding up a simple ladder and a chariot, slowly accelerated forward.

Until a critical point and hidden boundary was crossed, a city that was not yet silent, suddenly roared loudly, and even the sound of shelling was heard.

I saw that the rear and middle part of the elongated siege sequence, and the dozen or so fires were all flying everywhere, and the people who were blown up and overturned. However, the people who had already come forward were severely frustrated and frightened, but they were too late to escape.

The nearest place that was exploded was only a few hundred steps away from Luo Zhanrong who was waiting and watching.

This made his face change again and again. Thinking of the scenes and achievements he had seen in the army, he finally ordered the stop of other groups, prepared tentative offensives one after another, and temporarily retreated for several miles to choose a place to set up a camp.

At the moment, it seems that we can only take advantage of the situation and integrate the internal situation first...

Outside the east gate wall,

I also breathed a sigh of relief, but the other party was still scared by my bluff.

After all, even my accompanying guards, relying on the hasty people in the city, placed on the city wall that was seven or eight miles wide, was a drop in the bucket or a flawless thing to take into account.

Only some key areas near the city gate can be maintained, and more flags are planted in other places and sporadic observation posts are left in the arrow tower.

Once you are besieged by the superior enemy, you can only leave your fate to do your best.

Therefore, in the way of fighting the enemy, we played some real and fake tricks of doubt. For example, we gathered the artillery team and used it maneuvered under the base of the city wall; we temporarily built many whistle positions in robes and dummies and large equipment.

Therefore, at least the enemy that was knocked down under the city wall was not a fake. If a ball of continuous bead guns fired rapidly at any cost, it could also create the effect of a battalion of people firing at a short time. The shelling on the top of the city is indeed true, but because it is mainly portable light cannons in field battles, most of them cannot hit that far.

And those dozen results were just predicted by the opponent's march route, leaving the blasting point of probability to conceal the fate.

I have even prepared to continue to stick to the plan once things cannot be transferred to a more solid and well-prepared inner city;

Now, the enemy outside the city has temporarily retreated and used various stations in the suburbs to camp. I don’t know when I will be ready to attack again.

Use this rare buffer and interval to hurry up and prepare for the battle and replenish your strength as much as possible. Not to mention that there are at least tens of thousands of adult young men and women in this Liao city.

The first thing is to take the list and follow the map to search and search the fleeing soldiers from one family to another. Although their fighting will not be very good, at least some of the soldiers who have received military training are the soldiers.

With their family and relatives as disguised charity, and at the cost of pardoning the crime of escaping before the battle, under the surveillance of the supervision team, standing behind the city wall as a guard, is still barely competent.

Then, with generous rewards and official orders, the young and strong people in the city were recruited to participate in the city's coordination and labor service according to the proportion of the household registration.

Fortunately, as the main city of our family, the corresponding preparations in the city were not that bad; Luo Yunxiao, who was the acting vassal lord, plundered nearby prefectures and counties, and confiscated hundreds of families;

Therefore, a lot of money, grain and materials were saved in the warehouse of the vassal lords. The soldiers, armor and weapons in the arsenal were relatively sufficient. Although most of them were old things, it was better to use them to arm the civilians and men than to not have them.

As soon as this happens, the city defense gradually becomes more abundant, and I draw my limits out and give it more important use. For example, the defense and the potential internal response of Luo Zhanrong's party outside the city, the commotion, chaos and destruction incidents incited and created by the instigation and creation of Luo Zhanrong's party.

Then the city can achieve military control and martial law in key areas. There are also troops sent to three cities, two large and one small, to register and seal the stock of military supplies and civilian biological resources.

Then, according to the daily needs of the population and family, conduct rough statistics and calculations, and establish basic standards and plans for daily rationing; to deal with the possible difficult situations brought about by the long-term and protracted siege.

Fortunately, the small group of left-behind officials led by the inner minister Zhu Yannian and the head of the manager Zhang Yixin lacked the right to speak and prestige in military and defense, but they still had a lot of duty to deal with these miscellaneous things.

Therefore, I have a little more potential and evidence to defend the city.

After dark, everything was settled and all measures were arranged again, I also wanted to look back and visit and comfort me. There were three people who had suffered a lot of damage.

At this time, my subordinates suddenly reported a small incident again. A suspicious person rushed to carry something in the inner city's back house, but was hit by the patrol team I sent. He fought stubbornly on the spot and killed more than a hundred people. There were also several fleeing, pointing to the back house where the Luofan settlement was.

As a result, several trucks of things were intercepted in the nearby strongholds, and the rough inspection was mostly written and booklets, which made people a little confused. Therefore, they were detained on the spot and prepared to send them to me.

In addition, they found a woman who was tortured in a terrible way, dying and breathing only in one breath.

Therefore, Li Tieniu, the general on duty, asked for instructions on whether he could negotiate to enter the Houzhai for searching and arresting one or two.

I thought about it and pressed down this matter first, so that they could clear out most of the inner city's yards first.
Chapter completed!
