2-11 Who to fight for

Life in Liqian Village is peaceful and barren. The men are serving as soldiers all year round and cannot go home to take care of them. In order to prevent their families from being harmed by their enemies, Liqian Village was specially built on the edge of the remote desert. There are wooden walls outside the earthen walls and complete city defense facilities.

.

That afternoon, the lookout post at the top of Liqian City suddenly spotted a group of people approaching from a distance. The women were overjoyed and thought it was the men who had returned. However, upon closer inspection, it was not the case. The men were wearing Liangzhou clothes.

The soldiers in uniforms, holding bright swords and guns, could not stop the murderous look on their faces. The women quickly closed the city gates and beat drums to warn.

Five hundred Liangzhou officers and soldiers gathered under Liqian City. They told the panicked women in the city: The Liqian camp had rebelled and all of them had been killed. Now the officers and soldiers want to arrest them and the families of the rebels and bring them to justice. Those who want to survive must do so.

Hurry and open the city gate. If the officers and soldiers are delayed in their mission, the entire village will be massacred after the city is breached.

The Liqian women were different from the weak Han women. After a brief panic, they recovered from their shock. Since all the men were dead, they would not end well if they were captured alive. They might as well fight to the death to keep their innocence.

, then the war drums beat, and all those who could hold weapons climbed onto the city wall.

Liqian's city wall is well-organized, with a slope on the outside, and then a wooden wall that slopes outward at the top. Inside is an earth wall three feet higher than the wooden wall. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is unique and ingenious. Officers and soldiers came from afar.

There were no ladders or catapults, so I had to climb the wall with bare hands.

The officers and soldiers climbed up the wooden wall, cursing, but what they encountered were sharpened spears and a one-foot-long birch pole that had been fried in front. It was black and hard. Although it could not pierce the leather armor, it would be enough to hit the face.

It can be fatal. The women of Liqian have been engaged in manual labor all year round, and their physical fitness is not bad. The children of Liqian have received military training since childhood. They are proficient in throwing spears and daggers. Children as young as seven or eight can throw short spears to kill.

The enemies, immigrants from Shibali Fort, also climbed up the city wall to fight alongside the Liqian people. Blacksmith Zhao brandished a big sword and whirred, slashing the officers and soldiers to pieces, and they fled the city wall in a rolling and crawling manner.

The officers and soldiers retreated hastily. Before the Liqian people could take a breath, they saw a row of rockets shooting towards them. It was a dry winter, and the rockets landed on the wooden wall and immediately caused a raging fire. There were only two wells in the village, and the draft was tight.

How could there be so much water to put out the fire, and it was too late to fetch water temporarily. Everyone could only watch the wooden wall being burned by the fire.

The fire was burning loudly. The officers and soldiers sat in the distance, drinking and eating meat while proudly watching the fire spread. The despair of the Liqian people satisfied their frustrated hearts. The five hundred officers and soldiers were all ready to prepare.

Then he rushed into the village and had a good vent.

Suddenly someone heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. He turned around and saw a cavalry in official uniforms galloping towards him. So he shouted loudly: "Reinforcements are coming!" While shouting, he stood up and waved, but he didn't know a troop of cavalry was coming.

The arrow flew straight into his head. The man died instantly on the spot. The officers and soldiers immediately fired up the camp and picked up their weapons to prepare for battle. However, the opponent came with a fierce force. With the help of their horses and sharp swords, they killed him with a single charge.

With more than a dozen people, the officers and soldiers finally realized that the opponent was not one of their own, but the gang of Ganzhou troops.

Although the Liangzhou army was large in number, they did not have time to mount their horses. The foot soldiers faced the cavalry on a plain terrain and could only die. The soldiers no longer had the majesty they had just now. They ran around crying for their fathers and mothers. Ganzhou

The army did not kill them all, but surrounded them and disarmed them.

The Liqian people looked at this scene in stunned silence, wondering why the officers and soldiers were fighting. It wasn't until they saw Yuan Feng running over on horseback that they realized that it was him who was back!

With the sound of thunder, the Liqian women opened the city gate and welcomed Yuan Feng and his cavalry in. There were too many prisoners who could not enter the village, so they were temporarily detained in the wild. Yuan Feng had no time to greet his relatives, so he sent an order to bring the officers who attacked the village to ask questions.

talk.

After asking, I found out that they were the carriage camp of the Liangzhou Army. The day before, General Cai's Liangzhou reinforcements encountered Cao Jun's troops retreating from Ganzhou. Seeing that Cao Jun's army did not have an organized cavalry unit, Cai Yong became malicious.

Instructing his men to deliberately provoke friction, the two armies fought in the wilderness. Originally, the Ganzhou Army had no advantage at all, but the Liqian Army of the Ganzhou Army played a backbone role. The infantry consisted of less than a thousand people.

The troops stood firm like a rock and advanced steadily, using javelins to injure the enemy. The javelins were ten times larger than bows and arrows. Their deterrence and lethality were astonishing. General Cai suffered a big loss.

After restraining the troops, he pretended to punish the general who had caused the trouble, and returned to Liangzhou with the Ganzhou Army. However, he secretly sent an army to Liqian with the purpose of capturing these women as hostages and intimidating Liqian.

The legion surrendered to itself.

In the face of a formidable enemy, the superiors were still scheming and using their limited troops for internal friction. This made Yuan Feng very angry. He could not be said to be loyal to anyone when he first arrived, but the cavalry under him were veterans of the Ganzhou Army for many years.

Naturally, my heart turned to the eldest son, and someone suggested: "Why don't we kill these turtles? No one can find them if they are lost in the desert. If we go back and tell the eldest son, we will definitely get a heavy reward."

Someone else said: "It's best to leave a few prisoners to complain to the magistrate, so that he can see what Cai Yong is."

Yuan Feng did not adopt their opinions, but said: "The enemy can no longer kill each other now, let them go!"

"But..." The subordinates were indignant. The armies of Gansu and Liangzhou had always had a grudge. It was really uncomfortable for them to give up such a great opportunity for revenge.

"Keep their horses and weapons, and let them go." Yuan Feng added another sentence. He had won several battles since he became the cavalry commander. The officers and soldiers admired him, so he stopped talking and waved the back of his sword.

Drive away the Liangzhou army.

Fortunately, the purpose of the Liangzhou Army was to capture the hostages alive and did not cause any casualties to the Liqian people. Apart from being burned by the smoke and fire, everyone was still intact. Seeing Yuan Feng commanding the soldiers to bring a large number of swords, guns, bows and arrows, Liqian

Everyone looked at each other with joy, and Yulia ran over excitedly. She didn't show any reserve like a Han daughter. She threw herself directly on Yuan Feng and said, "Are these all for us?"

Yuan Feng's face turned red. He pushed Yulia away cautiously and said, "Yes, these are left for you to use for self-defense on the road. Those horses are also for you. The village cannot live in it. We have to leave Liangzhou quickly."

Seeing that everyone was confused, Yuan Feng told everyone about the Turks' attack and the tragic situation they saw along the way. He said: "The Turks are no better than these officers and soldiers. They kill people just like eating. If they don't leave, they will definitely die."

Disaster."

The people from Liqian then asked, "What kind of safety guarantee can there be if you go to Liangzhou? If you live in Liqian, people will come to kill you. Isn't it even more unsafe to live in Liangzhou?"

Yuan Feng said: "Staying here will only lead to death. If you go to Liangzhou, you will at least have a chance of survival. At the worst, you will have to move your whole family."

The Liqian people had also heard about the brutality of the Turks. After hearing what Yuan Feng said, they no longer persisted in their opinions and packed up their things silently. It would take time to move a whole village.

It was not as urgent as Ganzhou. Yuan Feng and others were also very tired, so they stayed temporarily in Liqian until they set off again tomorrow.

After Yuan Feng arranged for the sentry to be on duty, he went into his tent to sleep. He didn't dare to take off his clothes. He put the knife under his head and lay on the kang without even taking off his boots. His eyes were staring upward, and his heart was churning.

Endless.

The war is coming, and it is a grand battle involving hundreds of thousands of troops. However, I have no confidence at all. I can't even find my place in this war. Is it for Liangzhou or for Lord Cao?

, fight for them to appreciate him and grant him the title of President Qian? Faintly, he felt that this answer was wrong, but he could not find the answer.

Just as he was tossing and turning unable to sleep, someone suddenly entered the tent. Yuan Feng quickly drew his knife and shouted: "Who!"

"I'm Yulia." With a low reply, a fragrant body came close to her. Yes, it was the unique fragrance of Yulia. Strangely enough, due to limited conditions, there were very few people in Liqian.

Given the opportunity to take a bath, those women's faces were all red from the sun, and their bodies often smelled pungent. But Yulia was an exception. Her little face was always so white and rosy, and her beauty was so beautiful.

Always soft and smooth, her body always exudes a good smell, like the fragrance of milk or green grapes, in short, it is an intoxicating feeling.

Yuan Feng subconsciously stretched out his hand to push Yulia, but when he stretched out his hand in the air, he stopped unexpectedly, allowing Yulia to get into his woolen bedding. Yulia was only wearing a thin shirt.

The sweater, the warm and soft skin pressed against him unscrupulously, and through the clothes, Yuan Feng could feel the smoothness, the tenderness like gelatin.

His breathing became rapid. The boy swallowed a mouthful of saliva and wanted to speak, but found that his throat was dry. But at this time, Yulia stopped moving and lay down next to him, with her hands behind her head, and she also imitated Yulia.

Feng looked upwards and said after a long while: "How is Liangzhou?"

Yuan Feng coughed twice before speaking: "I don't know, I only stayed in Liangzhou for two days, and then went to Ganzhou."

"Ganzhou! Have you seen my brother?" Yulia immediately became excited and turned around to ask Yuan Feng. The two were so close that Yulia could even feel the two firm breasts on Yulia's chest.

But the girl obviously didn't mean that, so he could only stammer: "No, I didn't see it, I just saw a golden soldier with some similarities to your features."

"Oh, what kind of hat is he wearing?"

"The iron helmet that protects the back of the neck has a red horse's hair on it. Unlike other soldiers, the horse's hair is horizontal."

"Really? That's great. My brother has become a centurion."
