Chapter 679 The horn sound of Jingyuan Fort... (Second update)
A muffled roar made everyone present feel trembling.
But soon, everyone regained their composure. After all, they were all famous generals who crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Could they still be afraid of such a loud noise?
As Lu Qian waved the little red flag in his hand again and again, there were five thunderous roars in succession.
The five artillery batteries all emitted fire and smoke, which were dispersed by the wind. At this moment, Gao Zhang and his entourage all raised their arms and covered their ears.
At this time, Zhong Shidao, Na Yao Xiong and other generals of the Western Army discovered that even Yang Zongmin and Liu Fa, two famous generals of the Western Army, also raised their hands to cover their ears.
Before I had time to ask what you were doing, I felt a light flash before my eyes.
Zhong Shidao just subconsciously squinted his eyes slightly when he heard a huge roar that seemed to be dozens or even a hundred times more than before, and it hit him instantly.
It felt like someone had taken a big stick and hit him hard on the head.
The shock brought by the first loud noise has not faded, the second, third, fourth, fifth...
After the initial panic, the generals of the Western Army who were not afraid of death when fighting on the battlefield also subconsciously raised their hands to cover their ears.
Firstly, it is to inform these two military commanders that there is something wrong with the Song soldiers and horses here. Secondly, if the Song army goes crazy and comes to attack me, the two brothers must remember to come and help their brothers.
Many cattle and sheep froze to death, and many people even suffered frostbite. The losses were quite heavy.
After next spring, I don’t know how the country’s leader will solve the disaster relief problem. It is of course impossible to cause heavy bloodshed among the southern armies and tribes.
As the seat of the Xishou Baotai Military Division, the size of Jingyuan Fort is naturally much larger than those small forts.
The entire valley seemed to be shaking with the explosion of these thunder cannon shells.
However, what happened today was that Meleshcha, who was patrolling on top of the city, looked at the crowds of people and cattle and sheep coming from the east with a confused look on his face.
On the fire in front of me, the plump hare had been roasted until the surface was brown and sizzling with oil.
But it made people feel as if the earth was shaking, and it spread directly to the soles of the Western Army soldiers.
They even began to send troops to the border areas, which shocked the entire Xishoubaoqin military department.
After doing all this and waiting for three days, the old and prudent Meladhu Bu still felt that it was not safe.
At this moment, the huge boulders stretching slantingly in the valley in the distance had already been completely shrouded in firelight and thick smoke.
Everyone, with no other distracting thoughts in their minds at this moment, stared blankly at the bombardment scene where the sound and light effects shook the world.
It is almost the same size as a small town. There are more than a thousand households in Jingyuan Fort on weekdays. In wartime, it can accommodate tens of thousands of people and countless cattle and sheep.
The situation of the Xishou Baotai Military Division where my tribe is stationed is much better. There are only a little more wind and snow than in the past, and it is not even a disaster.
Groups of Xixia soldiers hurriedly put on their helmets and armor, and hurried towards the city wall amidst the shouts and greetings of the generals.
An order was given to blow the horn, and as the low and distant sound of the horn sounded above the East City, soon, the Jingyuan Fort, which originally seemed peaceful and peaceful, suddenly began to commotion.
At this moment, the second round of shooting began to spit out blazing flames amidst Lu Qian's sharp shouts.
"The power of the gods is nothing more than this..."
The soldier of Meltuda used the knife in his hand to carefully cut off pieces of rabbit meat with an attractive brown color. After carving out a plate, he placed it in front of Maltitu's table.
At this moment, outside Jingyuan Fort, many small tribes were driving their cattle and sheep, swarming towards Jingyuan Fort.
However, since it is now a severe winter, the possibility of the Song army launching an attack in such a season is almost zero.
Then go north through Tongyuan, defeat the second Qiang village, then enter Suirong Fort in Xi'an Prefecture, and then pass through Shaniuling...
But soon, the shouts from below the city made him decisively order to open the city gate and let the fleeing tribes and their cattle and sheep into the city.
After all, those grazing cattle and sheep are the private property and wealth of each tribe, so naturally they cannot be given away for free.
He also ordered the supervisory envoy Wei Ming Bage to lead his troops to inspect the forts bordering Xi'an Prefecture to prevent the Song army from being caught off guard by a sudden attack.
All the soldiers and civilians of the Western Army unanimously and silently praised this sentence in their hearts.
He also sent envoys to Xingqing Mansion to inform the royal capital. Of course, he also did not forget to report the news to the Jingsai Weizhou Military Division, Zhuoluo and Nan Military Divisions.
At this moment, Miao Lu, the general of the Western Army, looked straight over there and couldn't help but muttered.
Eating rabbit meat and drinking fine wine, Meledu was secretly glad that this year's snowstorm hit many military divisions in the north, causing many military divisions, prefectures and counties in the north to suffer severe snow disasters.
It was as if countless enemy ambushes hidden in this valley were forced to fall to the bottom of the valley by the shaking of the earth.
In the valleys on both sides, large and small rocks frequently rolled down towards the middle of the valley accompanied by falling snow.
Then it crashed heavily on the hillside, and then rolled down slowly and quickly. Each roll was accompanied by a very dull roar.
#####
The next day, 33,000 men and horses broke out of camp without hesitation and walked along Tongxia Village and around Dangqiang Village.
As the commander-in-chief of the capital, Mele Dubu immediately dispatched the deputy commander-in-chief Melema Ling and his troops to the Huairong Fort area of Roulang Mountain to set up defenses and closely monitor the movements of the Song army in Huizhou.
The commander-in-chief of Xixia Xishou Baotai Military Division, Mele Dubu, was in a very bad mood. Just a few days ago, Xi'an Prefecture and Hui Prefecture of the Song Dynasty in the south began to mobilize large-scale troops and horses.
#####
At this moment, Nameldu was thinking about what to do to protect his own interests in case of disaster after the spring.
In everyone's frozen gaze, the boulder that was as big as half a house actually broke into a large piece amidst the huge explosion.
In some places, rocks that were not stable enough were already rolling towards the bottom of the valley along with the falling snow.
And a group of Xixia cavalry immediately galloped out of the city from the south gate and followed the path of the fleeing tribes.
In the capital's military mansion, Meledu, who was eating delicious food, drinking fine wine, and thinking about important matters, heard clearly the sound of the trumpet.
His face changed drastically, and he drained the wine in one gulp, then stood up and drank.
