The first thousand one hundred and sixty-ninth chapters
Gaotang City is not a big city, but it is not crowded with tens of thousands of people. The Bohai Sea was still in chaos in the first two hundred years. Just like the Sang Kingdom, the so-called princes of all sizes occupied one side. In order to ensure that they were not destroyed, castles were built everywhere, and they were all large and small, with stars. Later, the black warriors rushed in and destroyed some. The larger city was still there, and the small city was turned into ruins.
The black warriors had been in the most ruthless time for more than a hundred years. At that time, the strategy of the black warriors was different from that of the Daning destroying the Bohai Sea. The black warriors had no intention of destroying the Bohai Sea, and they just kept it like a dog.
A hundred years ago, the Black Martial Army entered the country without any reason and did not give the Bohai people the chance to surrender. They just killed people and slaughtered people in one place. After that, the population of the Bohai Sea dropped by about one third.
In the past two hundred years since the founding of the Bohai Kingdom, black martial arts have been fought at least 200 times, sometimes twice a year, sometimes once a year, sometimes not fighting for two years, but suddenly a ruthless person comes.
At that time, the black warriors beat the Bohai people and gave people the feeling that they would beat them when they remembered. No matter whether you made a mistake or not, the Bohai people's fear of the black warriors was not formed overnight, and it has accumulated over the past two hundred years.
A few years ago, the border of the northern border of the Bohai Sea was facing the city gates of Heiwu. The black warriors fought once when they saw the Bohai Sea people, and they were not allowed to close their doors regardless of day or night. In this way, the black warriors became even more convenient for fighting, just like they went to a person's house to bully others and not allowed to close their doors, so that they would continue to bully next time.
The Gaotang City where Shen Leng led his army was located was one of the Black Martial Slaughtering Tribes more than a hundred years ago. Gaotang City was called Fox City at that time. At that time, the general led the army of the Black Martial Army said that he would slaughter all the people in this city because he didn't like foxes.
At that time, there were refugees running over from all directions to take refuge in Gaotang City. There were no less than 100,000 people in the city. The black warriors were too lazy to cut each sword. They set a torch to burn Gaotang City. One fire burned a city and burned 100,000 people. There is a legend in the Bohai Sea that every cloudy day, it is said that there can be heard shouting in the city. They said that it was a ghost that had not dispersed for more than a hundred years, and they still suffered the pain of burning every day. Therefore, whenever it was cloudy, they would come out and cry and howl at the sky, hoping that a heavy rain would blow away the fire on their bodies.
Gaotang City is now rebuilt more than 20 years after the massacre. A large number of people who migrated from the southern part of the Bohai Sea had to rebuild the city. They also needed shelter, although they knew that if the black warriors came again, the city still had no meaning.
Shen Leng leaned against the city wall and looked out. A layer of smoke and dust had appeared in the distance. They were the cavalry of the Black Martial Arts. From a distance, they looked like a huge wave formed by yellow sand.
"good."
Shen Leng was holding two small stones in his hand and threw them to play. He was a little happy when he saw the smoke and dust outside the city. When the black warrior came, he held the 50,000 people. Yan Kaisong's pressure in Northern Seoul would not become even greater, and Meng Chang'an would not be so stressed.
Shen Leng threw the small stone under the city and shouted at the soldiers outside the city: "Come back, men."
As Shen Leng shouted, more than 10,000 new recruits outside the city who were burying their pits stopped one after another. They had already dug outside the city in a mess, with no rules at all. The dense pits were filled with pits, about one foot deep. After Shen Leng gave the order, the trumpet began to sound the city wall, and all the new recruits from all over the city retreated.
Soon, the new recruits gathered on the school grounds, Chen Leng climbed up the platform, looked down, and the soldiers were all waiting for Chen Leng to say something with anticipation.
"The generals from each battalion are out of the line!"
As Chen Leng shouted, more than a dozen generals of the Biao Battalion ran towards the high platform. More than a dozen fifth-rank generals fought in a row. Chen Leng squatted on the edge of the high platform and looked at them with a smile and said, "I'll call you five, you run from here to the gate of the schoolyard. The first three people who ran to take your Biao Battalion to the city wall and guard the city first."
The dozen or so people were stunned for a moment, and then they all became excited.
Chen Leng stood up and breathed a sigh of relief, everyone stared at him and shouted one, two, three, four, five.
"five!"
Chen Leng shouted five words directly, and the dozen people below were stunned for a moment. Then some turned around and ran away. Some people reacted slowly. They were divided into orders from the beginning. More than a dozen generals in armor ran to the outside of the school gate. When they were halfway through, Chen Leng turned around and looked at the messenger: "Blow the horn, assemble the horn."
The messenger immediately raised his horn and started blowing. The dozen generals who ran out stopped and looked back almost at the same time, all hesitating. Some of them couldn't help but start running back, while a few did not come back and continued to run towards the outside of the door.
A few people ran to the entrance of the schoolyard. Chen Leng stood on the platform and smiled, looking at the people who were running back and said, "You guys, run around the schoolyard three times."
Several people looked at each other, thinking that it seemed that they shouldn't have run back. There were two of them who rushed to the front at the beginning. Now it seems that the first batch of tasks to go up to the city wall is not their turn.
He said to the hesitant generals again: "You run five laps."
Then he looked at the people before and said, "After running three laps, you will be the second batch."
Chen Leng turned his head and looked at the generals who needed to run five laps: "You are the third batch."
Xin Jigong stood aside and looked at Chen Leng with anticipation. Seeing that Chen Leng didn't mention him at all, he was a little anxious and raised his finger and pointed at his nose: "I, General, I."
Chen Leng looked at him: "Oh, go and take the veterans as auxiliary soldiers, and carry supplies and weapons to the new soldiers."
Xin Jigong was stunned: "I will take the veterans and be auxiliary soldiers for the new soldiers?"
Chen Leng nodded: "Is there any difficulty?"
Xin Jigong looked at Chen Leng awkwardly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. Chen Leng turned to look at the recruits and shouted loudly: "Did you not hear clearly? Then I will let you all hear it. I just ordered General Xin Jigong to take the veterans to be auxiliary soldiers and carry you supplies and weapons. If their supply is insufficient, you can scold the streets, but there is one thing, I will give you face. If you can't defend it, it's not good to guard it, or if someone is afraid, someone wants to leave, it's not good to give me face. It doesn't matter if I lose face in front of the veterans. I am the general. You lose face in front of the veterans, and you don't want to look up in your life."
"Have you heard it clearly?"
"I heard it clearly!"
The recruits shouted at the top of their throats, all of whom were blushing and thick-necked.
Chen Leng looked at Xin Jigong and smiled and said, "I'm not going to send the required defense materials now. If it is delayed, I'm the first one, then you can do it."
Xin Jigong was convinced and was really convinced by the General's arrangement. If he asked him to arrange it, he would definitely select veterans to go up to the first batch of defense first, but the General dared to send new recruits who had no experience in defending the city.
Xin Jigong followed Shen Leng and smiled flatteringly: "General, otherwise, you should accept me as your disciple."
Chen Leng turned around and looked at him: "How old are you?"
Xin Jigong said: "It's twenty-nine."
Chen Leng: "You are one year younger than me, will I accept you as my disciple?"
Xin Jigong said: "I want to learn from the general. For example, today, if the first batch of recruits are arranged to be the auxiliary soldiers, the recruits will feel the general's trust and importance to them, so they will naturally try their best and do not want to be embarrassed in front of the veterans, so there is definitely no problem. After that, when the veterans go up, if they are not as good as the new soldiers, wouldn't they lose all their face, so the veterans will also try their best."
Chen Leng said: "Since you have thought so much, the city defense will be given to you for three days."
Xin Jigong was stunned: "General, I'll be in command?"
"Well, you'll command."
"Then why is it three days?"
"I won't have to guard it in three days."
Chen Leng walked forward smoothly, Xin Jigong was still following behind. Chen Leng looked back at him again: "Now I have handed over the city defense command to you, what are you doing behind me? If you don't do well, I will withdraw you one day, maybe half a day, maybe an hour, if you are willing to follow me, I will follow me now, and I will go to the toilet and poop."
Xin Jigong blushed and turned around and ran to the city wall: "Sir, obey the order!"
Chen Leng walked around the city like a long walk, and there was no place for pretending to be a slap in the city, so he was a little disappointed. If there was a pond or something, he would go fishing, so that the soldiers knew that he did not take the black warriors outside seriously. In this way, the soldiers would have confidence, but there was not a single puddle in the city, let alone a pond, and it would be a bit exaggerated if they were fishing in the well.
There was really no suitable place, Chen Leng so he found a few soldiers to get a few buckets of water. Then he found a large brush and thought that since he couldn't fish, he would practice calligraphy under the city. His Majesty asked him to practice calligraphy when he had time. It seemed that he had not practiced for a long time. It was just right now. So he thought of dipping a large brush in water and writing on the road. He looked calm and the soldiers felt at ease when they saw it. After thinking about this, Chen Leng was a little happy. He put the big brush into the bucket and dipped some water. He looked at the ground but was stunned to write something?
It’s not that he can’t write, but that he gathers more and more curious soldiers around him. Chen Leng thought that if he wrote by himself, he might be laughed at by his subordinates for three to five years. He was not too thin-skinned, but mainly because he couldn’t lose his identity as a general.
So after pondering for a long time, Chen Leng raised his brush: "Write is not interesting."
After saying this, he had to throw the brush into the bucket and stop writing it. At worst, he could find something else to pretend to be a fool, but when he turned around, he seemed to see a group of wolves, and the soldiers watching were so excited.
"Interesting and interesting! It must be interesting!"
"Yes, General, please write quickly. We have heard that you are ugly in writing and have never seen it yet."
"Yes, General, let's open our eyes."
"General, how can you say it's meaningless? You see, everyone thinks it's interesting."
Chen Leng: "Cough, please give me the respect I deserve as a general?"
"Then general, please write a few less words?"
"Bah! The general said, respect, can you write less respect?"
"It makes sense. General, please write a few more words. We have all heard about your writing in Western Xinjiang. Let us also see it."
Chen snorted coldly: "You are really forcing me, but I will disappoint you."
He wrote a word on the ground with one stroke. His hand holding the knife was so stable, so it was naturally hard to see a word.
"General, you are cheating, you can't tell anything!"
"Yes, it's too easy to write."
Chen Leng snorted again and wrote two words on the ground.
"Alas!"
All the onlookers burst into booing.
Chen Leng picked up the pen and wrote another three words, making the boo even louder.
After writing, Sanchen Leng threw the pen: "Did you see it? Is it ugly?"
Someone shouted, "Then the general write another four."
Chen Leng turned around: "Three words a day should not be written too much, and the writing skills should not be exhausted."
