Almost everyone can hear that Ashina Gutuoru is trying to win people's hearts, but at this moment, no one can despise him. Hypocrisy sometimes needs some courage to support, and those who are left behind need to face the Central Plains
King Qin's soldiers and horses came from all over the country. In the past few days, the trumpet sound from the south has been uninterrupted. The soldiers of the brigade either entered the camp built by Qu Tutong and the general named Li, or set up camp nearby with great fanfare. Every day
At night, the torches they set up could light up half the sky.
'Even if Gutuolu Khan doesn't take the initiative to ask for help, Shibi Khan will keep him as his queen!' More Burkes actually sympathized with Gutuolu's actions. There is a strong male wolf in a wolf pack.
More is not a good thing. As the leader of the wolf king, it is natural to kill a hidden challenger at the right time. However, compared with each other's status, some Burkes who have slightly greater power and territory can't help but feel sad that the rabbit dies and the fox dies. Therefore,
, when they passed by Gutuolu, they all tried their best to express their heartfelt thanks.
"After returning to the grassland, if you need my help, just ask!" Huopo, a local official whose territory is only separated from Gutuolu by water, promised in a low voice.
"Thank you Brother Huopo. I got a daughter last year, and I heard that you also got a son last year. When they grow up, our two families can get married!" Gutuolu seemed to be still immersed in the tragic atmosphere he had made up.
, and began to arrange things behind his back.
"Thanks to Brother Gutuolu, your daughter is my daughter!" Fire Poker lightly beat his chest with his right fist to show that he lived up to his trust.
Gutuolu clenched his fist and beat his chest first, then handed his fist to the fire poker and lightly touched the opponent's fist in mid-air. "When you return to the grassland, let's drink together!" Several other tribes said
The leader also stepped forward and knocked Gutuolu's fist lightly with his fist. He didn't care about Shibi Khan's darkened face.
The premise is that he can return to the grassland alive! Burke Ashibi, who was walking side by side with the fire poker, glanced at Gutuolu with the eyes of a dead person and thought to himself. He is more concerned about the other party's wife, who is a grassland man.
A famous beauty. If Gutuolu died in the battle, and his younger brother and sons happened to be unable to inherit his woman... Thinking of this, Ashabi gently wiped away the saliva that was about to flow out.
With various thoughts, the leaders of each department left one after another. They quietly broke out of camp in the middle of the night, leaving behind the isolated city of Yanmen that had been stained red with blood.
The first to notice the abnormal behavior of the coalition forces were the defenders on the city wall. In nearly a month of brutal fighting, they almost learned to sleep with their ears pricked up. As long as there was the slightest disturbance below the city, the soldiers on duty would wake up immediately, and the arrow tips would probe.
Exit the shooting hole and press your body against the crenellations of the city wall.
"Good boys, Xiao Ye is here again! So on time!" Colonel Wu Yan laughed and cursed in a low voice. Taking advantage of the defenders' fatigue to carry out sneak attacks is a common tactic of city attackers, and they would do this once or twice almost every night.
, everyone is used to it, it doesn’t feel new anymore.
For half a month, the Xiongwuying brothers who rushed into Yanmen fought a life-and-death battle with foreign warriors on the city wall. Countless people fell every day. But this team that once withstood the rebel attack under Liyang City once again
Proving his bravery, almost every brother's life was exchanged for the lives of more than three barbarians. No one ever took a step back. Many veterans who joined the Xiongwu Camp when it was established fell.
Many newcomers who were recruited in Liyang City took their places and became veterans of hundreds of battles.
The veterans had many ways to deal with the enemy's night attack, but none of them could be used tonight. After half a stick of incense, the noise in the coalition camp continued, but there was silence under the city wall. It was the same as before.
Neither the torches nor the rain of arrows appeared on time. The enemy was still moving, and a long dragon-like shadow could be seen under the dim moonlight, but not to the south, but to the north.
"The Turks are about to retreat!" Duwei Wang Qijin suddenly woke up and shouted excitedly. Suddenly, he felt that his whole body was weak, and every muscle could not lift half of the strength. The victory came so suddenly, almost like
They were dreaming. For them, who had no intention of leaving the city alive since the day they rushed in, this dream that fell from the sky was simply too luxurious.
Low murmurs came from many crenels. Everyone was not sure whether the scene they saw was deliberately staged by the enemy, so they did not dare to launch a chase. But many people felt intuitively that everyone survived.
After this catastrophe, the day when we can return home in glory is not far away.
The promise of returning home in rich clothes was made by His Majesty the Emperor himself. At the most critical moment of defending the city, His Majesty's eyes were so red that he personally walked to the city wall to carry arrows for everyone. He swore that if he could return to Luoyang safely this time
, he never mentioned the conquest of Liao again. He also personally promised that as long as he defended the city, "If you don't have an official, you will get rid of the sixth rank, and you will be given a hundred items; if you have an official, you will gain more! Those who are killed in battle will protect their sons, and the government will support their families generously!"
"
"Brother Qijin, have you ever thought about how far you can go if the Turks really withdraw?" Colonel Wu Yan climbed up to Wang Qijin and asked in a low voice.
He had not left the city wall for more than half a month, and his body exuded a strong smell of sweat and blood. Wang Qijin was so dizzy from the smoke, but a thick smile appeared on his face. "I don't know, Your Majesty.
They talked about this gain, but they didn’t say how to increase it. But even if I talk about my skills in the normal way, I can at least level up two levels! How about you, how many enemies have you killed in the past half month?"
According to the military law of the Sui Dynasty, killing three enemies will lead to the first rank of Ce Xun, and the third rank of Cexun will be promoted to one level. Since breaking into the siege under the leadership of Yuwenshi and the general, Xiongwuying has at least withstood the siege.
The Turks attacked more than 50 times. Calculating the death of 1,000 soldiers in each attack, at least 50,000 enemy soldiers died under Yanmen City. Currently, there are about 9,000 soldiers in Xiongwu Camp who survived by chance, divided evenly among them.
The number of heads on his body is about five. As a captain who was ordered to command the defense of one side of the city wall, Wang Qijin still has merit for his good command. If the various combat functions are accumulated and reported, his military rank after promotion will be at least
He is a brave general.
"I definitely don't get as much credit as you do!" Wu Yan thought for a moment and replied with longing. "I remember that on the first day, I cut three off the top of the city and overturned a ladder once.
, but I don’t know if the person above fell to death or not. In the next few days, I didn’t care about counting. Most of them were shooting with arrows, and I couldn’t see where the other person’s injuries were. But I can always catch one in three days.”
He counted his fingers for fear of missing something. "Three, plus five, plus two! I have killed at least ten Turks!" he shouted. After the excitement, he felt a little regretful, "It's a pity that I have already killed
Now he is a school captain, and he can at most be promoted to one level. Those of them who do not have official positions will be fine. The emperor said that they will be directly promoted to the sixth rank, and they will be a school captain all of a sudden!"
"Don't talk nonsense, you official fanatic! You just have a pig's head. The emperor said that when you are promoted to the sixth rank, not all of them will be promoted to captains. There are only so many officers and soldiers in the entire Sui Dynasty, and there are more than 9,000 captains. Let's go to the Xiongwu Camp
Where are you!" Wang Qijin punched Wu Yan with a smile and shouted.
Wu Yan turned around and looked around. There were also soldiers on duty on other city walls who were awakened by the noise outside the city. The tip of the knife shone slightly under the crescent moon. "Isn't it? There are more than 9,000 captains, so what?
How many soldiers are enough to carry?" This was an extremely huge number, and Wu Yan's fingers were not enough. After a long time, he patted his cold helmet and sighed, "Maybe the emperor did not expect that so many of our brothers would survive in the end.
Bar!"
In an instant, the starlight pouring down from the sky was actually a bit cold. It was so cold that the soldiers around him who were chirping and dreaming of getting promoted and making money all closed their mouths. "Don't talk nonsense, be careful that others overhear you!" After a while, Wang Qijin's
The voice rang again, exhausted.
It turns out that the emperor is deceiving us again, or he wants more people to die in battle! Although everyone closed their lips, the anger spread like fire, spreading throughout the entire city wall. Everyone suddenly regretted why they were so brave in the first place, like this
Foolish king, let him be captured by the Turks to save him from continuing to commit evil!
'The emperor did not expect that so many brothers would survive in the end, so he gave everyone the title of sixth-grade official without hesitation. When he found out that so many brothers survived, he would definitely regret it!' Everyone guessed the final outcome, but they dared
They were just ordinary soldiers who could not even see the imperial chariot. Let alone protest to Yang Guang. Any official could order them away, whip them, or even put them on the spot.
Execution. The knives in their hands can protect the country, but they cannot protect themselves.
"It would be great if General Li is still here. He will definitely try his best to fight for everyone!" Someone sighed and put down his bow and arrow, lying on his back. He could see the unique night sky in Saishan, because the moon only had one bud.
, so the stars are as big as a bucket. There is one most dazzling star due in the north, which almost makes the vast Milky Way lose its color.
"When General Li was in Xiongwu Camp, he easily refused to make promises, but he never lied to everyone!" Wu Yan also put away his weapons and lay down on the top of the city. The battle was over, and everyone's use to the imperial court was temporarily over. As for the imperial court
None of the brothers can interfere with how to fulfill the promise of that day. So instead of thinking about this, it is better to get some sleep first. As for the Turks under the city, they can run as far as they can! What do they have to do with us soldiers?
The mood instantly fell from the peak of excitement to the trough of depression, which made many people exhausted. They lay down one after another, no longer caring about the enemy situation outside the city, and were not prepared to report the news of the retreat of the troops outside the wall to their superiors. Many people thought of it again.
During the Liyang Guard Battle that day, it is said that General Li was driven out of the Xiongwu Camp by Yu Wenshu because he secretly distributed the general rations as rewards to his brothers. More than two years later, those generals left and died in the battle.
Died in battle. Nowadays, the core of Xiongwu Camp are almost all the slaves of the Yuwen family, each one more disgusting than the last.
"I have a way, maybe I can bring General Li back!" Under the battlements, a voice not much bigger than a cricket suddenly muttered. (To be continued)
