One hundred and fourteen chapters outside the frontier

Beyond the Great Wall, the Beyond the Great Wall in Zhu Biao's mind was a fascinating territory in Tang poetry.

How many hot-blooded men played the cymbals and sang loudly, and marched forward with their horses. They were frightened by the thunderbolts, and they sang generously and tragically on the battlefield. Their ambitions will last forever, leaving a deep reverberation in history.

But now outside the Great Wall...

There are bloody wars, collisions between the Hu and Han peoples, moments of life and death, blood and fire. Of course, there are also his daydreams about making great achievements and becoming famous!

In May, outside the Great Wall, on the green grassland, the green grass was fragrant. There were no orioles flying, no cattle or sheep, only grass growing.

The long hunting wind in history is still there, but there is no thick snow covering the sky and the long yellow wind. The vast smoke and dust of history are completely obliterated in Zhu Biao's mind. There is no such winding Great Wall here.

The stars are dim and quiet, the sky is vast and wild. The emotions in the memory sink into the bottom of my heart.

"Have you heard that the Qi family in Qu County ran into a thousand horsemen of Hulu, and more than forty people died before they escaped..."

"Gu Yizhen from Gu Cheng made a lot of copies and killed Hu Qi and ten captains..."

"Liu Long from Mingshan found traces of the barbarians, and his army attacked overnight, defeating the enemy in one fell swoop..."

"Meng Rui from Yancheng is very skilled in martial arts. With a steel fork, one person can stab seven knights in a row. In just half a month, he has taken nearly thirty heads..."

After being brought to the front line for more than half a month, some people who should take the lead, such as Meng Rui, quickly made a name for themselves in Juyan City.

Although some equally capable people may not have such good luck, such as the Qi family in Qu County. But no matter what, they are better off running freely on the prairie than Zhu Biao and others who are always hiding in Juyan City.

"The sixth brother of the Zhu family, the sixth brother of the Zhu family..."

A familiar shout sounded outside the military tent. Zhu Biao opened his eyes, a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes. It was Meng Rui again——

A few days ago, he was promoted to the team leader and summoned fifteen families. Today, he was promoted to Du Bo...

"Brother Six——"

Zhu Tong's expression changed. What Meng Rui was paying attention to, Zhu Biao had told him before, was that he (Meng Rui) wanted to truly be the boss of the fifteenth family. This was not a banquet, it was clearly a banquet.

Are you angry?

In Zhu Tong's heart, Meng Rui was not worth mentioning at all. Zhu Biao was more than ten times more talented than Meng Rui. How could he bow his head to him——

Since joining the border army, all the sons of good families who have joined the large army have been separated. He and Zhu Biao are the only ones in the same capital. These few times Meng Rui sent people to invite Zhu Biao, Zhu Tong saw it.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

"Okay, I'll take care of this matter, so don't worry about it -"

After patting Zhu Tong on the shoulder, Zhu Biao strode out of the military tent with a smile on his face. After walking a few steps with the Meng family disciple, he saw Cao Hou from the same camp, and the two looked at each other.

, both saw a touch of bitterness in each other's eyes.

Before the war breaks out, their heroes are useless!

On the Hanhai Tower in Juyan City, not surprisingly, Zhu Biao and Cao Hou saw the figures of Lu Biao and Sun Mobang. There was also Meng Rui in casual clothes. He couldn't help but look happy. As soon as he spoke,

Zhu Biao's guess was verified - Meng Rui had really been promoted to Dub!

Beheading level 30, one person has accumulated merit.

On the way back, Cao Hou was a little drunk, so Zhu Biao helped him.

Cao Hou, who could still keep his mouth shut in Hanhai Tower, was now venting his anger and mumbling in Zhu Biao's ears. He was really jealous. Meng Rui had become Uncle Du in just a few days.

And he is still a fake commander. A son from a good family joins the border army with a fake status. After the first battle, if his performance is stable, he will become a real commander.

Zhu Biao didn't stop him, because even he was jealous in his heart.

"When will the day of war come..."

Alas, I sighed in my heart. Now I can put more effort into tempering my soldiers, strengthen their running-in, and strengthen their training...

Fortunately, the two captains and eight soldiers under his command are not thorns, so they are easy to tame.

But conquering the hearts of your soldiers is not done on the training ground, but on the battlefield. It goes around and around, but there is still a war!

--------Dividing line-------------

Beiling County, Jiutai County, Luozhou.

The city wall, which was only five feet high before the war, has now been increased to eight feet high. This height is one foot higher than most counties and cities in the interior.

But the eight-foot-high city wall could not stop the enemy's attack outside the city. The heavy rain of arrows made the Han army on the city unable to raise their heads. Shields and oars were placed on their heads to block the front, and the defenders bowed their bows.

The crossbowmen could only blindly fire arrows through the observation holes on the city wall, and then return fire a little.

At noon, there was a short period of silence in front of the city of Jiutai County, but the atmosphere before the bloody battle became more solemn. After the meal, I heard waves of horns, and suddenly there were shouts of death outside the city.

.

The defenders no longer passively evaded. They were the elite of the Northern Han Dynasty. Facing the overwhelming Hulu cavalry and hundreds of soldiers with powerful crossbows, under the leadership of the military commander, they concentrated without fear.

Wait. The Hulu's riding bow has a range of up to a hundred steps, and the inertia of the charge of the war horse makes it farther and farther, but the crossbow has a longer range. I saw the leading commander step forward, holding a tight grip in his hand.

He slashed forward into the void with his long sword and shouted: "Let go".

Suddenly the sky turned dark. The Hulu cavalry 200 steps away seemed to be pushed by an invisible giant hand. The momentum of the charge of the cavalry in the front row was instantly stopped. It was because of the force of the crossbow.

Only when he pushed it up did he fall down weakly.

For the charging cavalry, the distance of two hundred steps is only the blink of an eye. No matter how powerful the crossbows are, they cannot stop a mass charge of more than 10,000 cavalry because it takes too much effort to cock them.

Hu Qi's commander obviously knew this, so he turned a blind eye to the soldiers who died in the battle.

The galloping war horses are still rushing straight towards the city wall. They have no infantry, and you can't ask them, who think they are the sons of the wolf, the darling of the Everlasting Heaven, to put down their horses and attack the city like the infantry of the Central Plains humans, but they also have their own

Unique means of siege.

That is to first suppress the counterattack in the city with an absolute advantage of long-range attacks, and then tens of thousands of cavalry rush to the city with bags filled with sand and soil. Unmeasurable, bags filled with sand and soil are piled under the city wall, no matter how many

No matter how high the city wall is or how deep the moat is, it is enough to pave a slow slope made of sand and soil under it, and finally they ride their war horses on the top of the city.

Although this is only a method that cannot be called very clever, it still allows the Hu Di clan to threaten the Central Plains human race. Of course, the Hu Lu outside Jiutai City are now willing to use this method, it is also because of a

After this bloody massacre, they could no longer find enough Northern Han people to fill their earth bags.

The Hu cavalry who rushed under the city wall followed their horses, and the horse that sat down adjusted its direction as if it was connected to its heart, and turned ninety degrees. The centrifugal force generated in an instant allowed the Hu cavalry on horseback to easily throw out the soil bags.

Some distance away.

Like a torrent crashing into an even more indestructible boulder, Hu's riding force split left and right under Jiutai County. Like flowing clouds and flowing water, the natural smoothness showed the extremely solid and excellent riding skills of Hu Renren.

technique.

The soil slopes on the east, west, north and west sides have been built, leaving only the southern city wall empty. The Hu people have been very skilled in the trick of surrounding three and missing one since they were young.

The Han troops defending the city fought hard, using rolling logs, nails and rakes, and all the means to stop the Hulu. However, the enemy was outnumbered and we were greatly disparate in strength. One day, two days, three days...

Like many cities on this front that were won and lost, Jiutai County, which was recaptured in the previous counterattack and fortified as the gateway to Beiling County, once again fell to the swords of Hulu. Seven thousand

The entire garrison was wiped out.
