() On the city wall of a small town called Qingyang in the southeast of Zuli County, a dozen soldiers wielding long spears were leisurely milling around on the city tower.
This is not to blame for their lack of military discipline. Now everyone knows who doesn't know who. In order to quell the rebellion of the Baima Qiang tribe, Zuli County stationed nearly the entire Wuwei County army, with a hundred thousand soldiers.
Regardless of the fact that the Baima Qiang tribe has not been defeated after a month or two of fighting, it is because the Baima Qiang tribe is in a dangerous location. If it were fought in other terrains, even if the entire Qiang tribe rebelled, they might not be able to destroy the ten people in Wuwei County.
Ten thousand troops.
And the Baima Qiang people now occupy a dangerous place. They are blocked by the 100,000 troops stationed in Zuli and unable to get out of Lianyun Mountain. If the Baima Qiang people run out of food and grass, they will collapse without a fight.
In normal times, there would be no problems in Zuli County. What's more, at this time, a hundred thousand troops are guarding Zuli County. How dare that little thief with no eyes dare to disturb Tai Sui's head and hit the gun at this time?
"You are now soldiers of Ma Junsi, and you should know very well that Ma Junsi always manages the army strictly and has clear rewards and punishments."
At this time, a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old walked out of the city tower. He was holding a long knife on his waist and wearing an iron armor. He was still walking vigorously, without any sense of sluggishness. His face was not white and handsome, but there was a certain
The feeling of fortitude of the soldiers outside the Great Wall, especially the murderous look in the two eyes.
"Yes, Chief Pang."
Dozens of soldiers patrolling the city wall of Qingyang Town were immediately shocked when they saw this young man coming out. They straightened their bodies, adjusted their lopsided helmets, raised their chests and raised their heads, and looked into the distance without squinting.
Chief Pang Wei was not only Ma Junsi's personal guard chief, but also because there was no military officer in Ma Junsi, Chief Pang Wei often acted in his place. Ma Junsi always managed the army with clear rewards and punishments, and Pang Wei adhered to his consistent style, so
All the soldiers were very afraid of him.
Commander Pang nodded. Ma Junsi was very brave in combat and had countless military exploits. In the battle of Baima Qiang, he was promoted from a mere corps commander to Army Sima. Such speed was as if he was ascending. Commander Pang knew that he was not following the wrong person.
Gladly.
However, precisely because Ma Junsi's promotion speed was too fast and his foundation was unstable, it was even more necessary to run the army strictly, integrate a usable army, and prevent others from getting a handle on him.
Seeing that the soldiers were so obedient, Captain Pang nodded with satisfaction. After inspecting the city wall of Qingyang Town, he was about to return to the city tower. Suddenly, a soldier looking to the east exclaimed: "There are many horses, no, they are cavalry.
There were at least three thousand people making this noise."
Zu Li had 100,000 troops stationed, and there were naturally a lot of horses. It can be said that almost all the horses in Wuwei County were concentrated here. However, after supplying officers above the village commander and transporting troops, there were not many.
Furthermore, good steel is used in blades, and horses are mostly concentrated in the north on the front line against the White Horse Qiang people. How could there be such a large-scale cavalry mobilization in the southeast?
At this time, Captain Pang also heard the sound of horse hooves, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly climbed up to the sentry tower and looked around. Sure enough, he saw a large wave of black cavalry galloping towards him, but it was still far away, and the direction he looked at was not towards Qingyang, but seemed to be just far away.
Take a look at it from a distance.
"Be on alert, order all the soldiers on guard to be on alert urgently." However, Captain Pang still did not dare to take it lightly and asked all patrolling soldiers to be on alert. As the temporary military commander, Captain Pang did have this right.
After hearing the order, the patrol soldiers tensed up and looked nervously at the approaching torrent of cavalry.
The sound of horse hooves was getting louder and louder, but the torrent of cavalry was getting closer and closer, but it still did not change its direction and passed directly across the grassland half a mile away from Qingyang City.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their tense nerves. There were less than two thousand soldiers in the city, and because the southeast belonged to the third line of the battlefield, the soldiers were all the lowest level soldiers.
If this group of cavalry with unknown origins really wanted to attack the city, the city should be able to be defended, but the number of casualties would definitely be huge. Naturally, I would be very lucky to have saved my life.
As a military officer, of course, one cannot just go back and fall asleep as soon as the danger is over. Captain Pang inspected the city wall again before turning back to the tower. However, at this moment, the torrent of cavalry rushed towards them again.
Guard Pang and everyone else tensed up again. They went up to the sentry tower and looked in the direction. Just now, the cavalry was running from the east of Zu Li to the west of Zu Li. Now it was running from west to east.
The speed of the torrent of cavalry was obviously faster than before. The most important thing was that this torrent of cavalry was heading straight towards Qingyang Town.
‘Returning carbine?’ These three words could not help but appear in the minds of everyone present. The first wave made them relax their vigilance, and then the second wave hit them head-on, catching them off guard.
"The enemy is attacking, the whole army must return." Commander Pang was now the highest officer among the patrols, so he immediately ordered the whole army to get up quickly, put on their armor and pick up their weapons to prepare for battle.
"Enemy attack, all troops return." Hundreds of soldiers patrolling the towers on the city wall immediately ran down to the military camp to issue orders.
"Chief Pang, what happened?" Another handsome young man wearing armor and holding an iron gun walked out of the tower.
But this young man was only ten years old, and the iron gun in his hand was also a miniature one, only three feet long, but his magnanimity was extraordinary, no less than that of Pang Wei.
The boy's tall nose seemed to have Qiang ancestry, and the way he was jumping around and showing off was obviously extremely belligerent.
"Reporting to Young Master, there is a wave of three thousand cavalry attacking. The city wall is dangerous. Young Master, please go back to the tower first..." Captain Pang reported to the bellicose young man in front of him, and asked General Yu to persuade him to go back to the tower first.
But halfway through the words, I discovered that the soldiers and horses under the city were passing by again, straight and straight around the Qingyang City, without stopping at all, they ran into the distance...
When the sergeants in the military camp heard that three or four thousand cavalry were rushing towards Qingyang Town, they suddenly broke into chaos. The entire military camp was in uproar. After less than half an hour, the soldiers who had just been reorganized returned to their respective teams and went up to the city wall to prepare for battle.
However, when they arrived late, they found that the cavalry had already retreated, and they immediately became angry and disturbed their good sleep in vain.
Not long after the soldiers returned to the barracks, they were about to take off their armor and go to bed when they heard the sound of gongs to call for troops. When they left the camp and asked, the wave of cavalry left and returned again.
I had already heard the story of the training soldiers on the city wall, and this was already the third time. The story of the boy who cried wolf made the soldiers unable to cheer up. However, it was difficult to disobey the military order, so they had to walk slowly and swaying towards the city wall.
Go up.
However, these soldiers who were obsessed with wasting away their work were shocked later. The cavalry that had been feinting suddenly launched an attack. Three waves of rockets flew out, like countless fire rains falling from the sky. Qingyang City was suddenly a sea of fire. (
