Within the city.

The prefect Song Mingyi did not enjoy the cheers of his subordinates on the tower with Sun Jie, the commander-in-chief.

When Sun Jie launched a counterattack, all the auxiliary soldiers were sent to defend the city. Although the soldiers had returned to the city at this time, the Song Prefect was finally relieved, but he still needed to treat the wounded and replenish damaged weapons.

Diet modification, unable to complete the defense for a while.

In accordance with Sun Jie's request in advance, the prefect of Song Dynasty, sweating profusely, ordered the yamen servants and strong women to move out all the station buildings in the yamen. He also gathered the carpenters and coffin shops in the city to urgently build many wooden cages.

, filled them all with bricks and stones, and stuffed them into the two projecting door holes to block the gap. They also released all the prisoners in the prison, and built two sheep and horses walls as high as half a man and a half people outside the gap, leading directly to the small camp in front of the west gate.

So that if the thieves try to break through from here, they can be stopped in time.

Sun Jie was in a tent at the rescue center, looking at his guard captain Shi Erlei with concern.

This was an orphan, and his mother, who was also from a military family, had died long ago. His father was a general manager, and he had a hard time raising a baby in the camp, with little hope. So, during another tragic siege many years ago,

In the middle, he entrusted Er Lei to Sun Jie, who was still a general, took the lead in reporting to the death squads, and used his own life to change his son's future... From then on, he took this kid with him and watched him grow up day by day.

, taught him martial arts and art of war, and even helped him get married. Although they were as close as father and son, they never took him seriously.

Everyone knows that the commander-in-chief has good intentions: he cannot let the old historian die, let alone the incense of sacrifices during the New Year.

He was not required to participate in this attack, but this kid wanted to go with red eyes. Sun Jie knew that the desperate attack by the death squads a while ago had aroused his thoughts about his biological father.

If you can't stop me, then go ahead. We are warriors. Life or death is God's will. This is fate.

The injury was not serious, just a stab in the left arm - but it could kill someone if not done well.

There was once a guerrilla who was hit by an arrow in his leg. It only penetrated 70-80% of the flesh. He pulled it out and applied gold wound medicine. At first, he was fine. He couldn't even see any injuries when he walked. He even yelled at his brothers.

He drank wine and gambled for money, but then the wound oozed pus, and he had a fever and died within a few days! The doctor said that the arrowhead might have been simmered with poison, but who knows.

The knife cut very deep, and the bones were almost visible. Fragments of arm armor, as well as rags and other dirt were embedded in the flesh. It was good that the wound was blocked, and not much blood flowed, but it would be a long time ago.

The crime was quite bad. It took a lot of effort to remove the twisted arm armor, and Er Lei was shaking all over in pain. This guy is a man. He was injured and even scratched two people. If he didn't stop the team, I guess this guy would

He will cut himself until he loses his strength.

The doctor found a piece of wood and wrapped it in a rag for Shi Erlei to bite. Several brothers worked together to press him against the door panel. Just as the doctor was about to step forward, Sun Jie said in a deep voice: "I'll do it."

Sun Jie pulled out the dagger from his boot and wiped it repeatedly on his sleeve until there was no trace of oil. He quickly picked out the scraps of iron and rags from the wound, and blood spurted out. Although his forehead was

Big beads of sweat burst out like liquid, and Er Lei gritted his teeth and remained silent.

"Good job, just bear with it a little longer." Sun Jie nodded and put the dagger into the fire to roast it.

I don’t know why, but there has been a rumor in the military: sometimes it is just a flesh wound, but even if they apply medicine, many people still say it is gone. However, most people who are hit by rockets can survive as long as they do not hit the vital point.

After paying attention, it is indeed the case. It should be that fire overcomes metal.

Glancing at the red-hot dagger, Er Lei closed his eyes fiercely.

The dark red tip of the knife was lightly burned on the wound, and wisps of green smoke came out of the skin. The person finally fainted from the pain.

The doctor lowered his hands beside him and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Commander, Mr. Qian is as strong as an ox, and with good fortune and good fortune, he will be fine for sure."

Sun Jie groaned and replied: "Look, once the fever subsides, everything will be fine."

After leaving the tent, I raised my head to the sky and prayed silently: Lao Shi, please protect the baby...

Sun Jie returned to the commander's tent and called to Master Shang Wenchang: "Master Shang, please help me write a letter home."

Mr. Shang cupped his hands and said, "If you dare to disobey the commander's orders, please tell me what to write."

Sun Jie said: "It doesn't matter what you write, you can make it up as you like. But you have to write in the words 'que', 'li', 'five', 'you', and 'jin'. Well, after writing these Just put an ink mark before the sentence."

Master wrote it in a moment and submitted it.

After the master resigned, Sun Jie asked his soldiers to invite Song Ming to discuss: "Your Majesty, the general's literacy is limited. I have just drafted a letter home. Could you please help me read it to avoid any mistakes."

"this……"

Song Mingyi, who was a serious Jinshi, like other civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, originally looked down on the warrior in front of him. But in the face of a powerful enemy, no matter how much he despised him in his heart, he was even more polite than usual on the surface. After this period of time, After getting along with each other, Magistrate Song knew clearly in his heart: If he relied on himself alone, he would have been destroyed long ago, and his perception could not help but improve greatly. After winning two consecutive battles, he not only had a feeling of sympathy for Sun Jie, but even had a vague support for him in his heart. .However, now I heard that this man actually wrote a letter home while surrounded by enemy soldiers. It is really shameful that a dignified man was dragged into the family of a woman! Moreover, there is inevitably the risk of leaking major military information! The bottom of my heart was originally suppressed. The disdain appeared again, and a look of worry could not help but appear on his face.

Sun Jie noticed Song Mingyi's request, and held his hand with a smile: "Sir, the general is not a person who does not know how to measure. Thank you for your work."

Song Mingyi was stunned when he heard this, as if he understood something, and began to read the letter...

After reading it, he said blankly: "Sun Shuai, this family letter seems to be ordinary, but at this moment, I am writing this letter, and I guess there must be a mystery. Can you ask the commander to clear up my doubts?"

Sun Jie gave a wry smile: "My lord, I will tell you the truth, this book is about military affairs. Civil and military careers are different, I hope you will forgive me."

Song Mingyi, who no longer had any doubts, left his seat, bowed deeply to Sun Jie, stood up and said seriously: "That's what Sun Shuai said."

Sun Jie quickly left his seat and bowed to the ground in return: "Master Magistrate, I will never bear this shame! A capital crime, a capital crime!"

Song Mingyi supported him, looked into Sun Jie's eyes, and said slowly: "Commander Sun, there is no need to be too modest. Although I am a scholar, I am by no means a ungrateful person. I have a few words from the bottom of my heart today, and I won't be happy if I don't say them. As the saying goes, : Ants are still greedy for life. Thieves and soldiers are suppressing the country. Although Song has read a lot of sages and sages, death has been the only option since ancient times. It is not that Song has never thought about it. However, the lower officials know that if they become thieves, the whole family will not be able to escape. If you are angry, your family will be destroyed. Therefore, the lower official has made up his mind: the day when the city is broken is the time to serve the country. Song Mou fought to death with his sword in the Yamen, which can be said to be a great success, and he can also change the job for the dog. , no longer have to suffer the hardships of the cold window for ten years. If Sun Shuai had not generously come to rescue him alone, Song would have been killed by the sword today. There is no words to repay the great kindness, and if Sun Shuai would not abandon him, Song would be willing to marry Sun Shuai. If you say something within five days, the sun will tell you!"

Sun Jie was deeply moved by these heartfelt words. Starting from the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the Tang Dynasty when the army became larger and the vassal towns were segregated, consciously emphasized culture to suppress military force and used culture to control military force. Taizu of this dynasty did

What's more, he almost wiped out all the heroes, especially the military generals group, so that Emperor Chengzu "Qingjun side", Emperor Jianwen couldn't find any generals who could lead the troops to compete! Time passed by, and by this time, soldiers had no status at all.

, a seventh-rank county magistrate, as long as he is happy, he can always find an excuse to knock down a third-rank general in the street and beat him up! Song Zhifu proposed a sworn sworn alliance and pledged an oath to heaven, which shows that he was truly sincere in his words.

Sun Jie couldn't help but said with emotion: "Sir! Sun is a warrior and doesn't know how to say polite words. Thanks to your favor, I vow to live and die with Brother Song. The secrets of military information are not worthy of being shared with outsiders. Brother Song is very close these days.

I took the arrows and stones to kill the enemy side by side with the generals, and I dare not hide it. Brother Song, please see, there are several words marked in this letter, the mystery is here."

"Military information should be communicated in cryptic language. According to the old rules of "Wu Jing Zong Yao", military information is nothing more than: please bow, please arrow, please armor, please gun flag... a total of forty items, the general will remember it in his heart when he was young. Five-character rhyme poem

There are also four crosses, which can correspond to each other one by one. There are many rhythmic poems. Even if they are captured by the enemy, or even if the messenger surrenders to the enemy, how will the enemy know which one is our army's calligraphy test? When the general is leaving, he and the manager will temporarily

"Du Shaofu's Appointment in Shuzhou" Let's meet. Don't expect me to have limited literacy, but I can really memorize a few of these five-character rhyme poems. My younger brother was born in a military family, and he received a lot of sticks from his father for this when he was young. Although Master Shang is reliable,

However, it is a major military matter and we dare not make mistakes, so I bothered Brother Song to do the inspection on my behalf. Brother is laughing at me!"

Song Mingyi laughed and slapped Sun Jie hard in the palm of his hand, and sincerely praised: "Wise brother is a great talent! Foolish brother has learned a lesson!"

He quickly glanced at the letter again, pointed to the marked words with one hand, and counted them with the other hand. He murmured the entire poem "Du Shaofu's Appointment to Shuzhou" silently, and said with a smile: "Now

Brother Xian gave me some advice, so Brother Yu made a guess: Ask for arrows, ask for guard equipment, ask for soldiers, ask for food and fodder, the enemy is slightly defeated...is that right?"

The two held hands and laughed, then ordered their followers to set up an incense table and sworn sworn vows without mentioning it.

Later, Song Mingyi personally copied two more copies of the letter, and three of Sun Jie's personal soldiers separately climbed out of the wall at night and sneaked them to the provincial capital.

Guan Shengyun gathered up the defeated troops and took stock of his troops.

After the two new battles were defeated, the auxiliary soldiers suffered too much loss: the captured militiamen were almost wiped out, and almost all the most experienced auxiliary soldiers died in the tunnels. They had to find ways to supplement them. But other than that, the fighting soldiers

The damage was only about 400, and no muscles or bones were damaged. Although there were two small setbacks, the overall strategic situation remained the same, and the initiative on the battlefield was still firmly controlled by our own side. I couldn't help but feel reassured.

According to most conventions, when encountering a hard nut to crack, it is a good idea to encircle three towers and give the defenders a way out: military leaders can always find reasons for themselves to escape from the battlefield, such as misjudging the enemy's situation and sending troops to pursue and suppress them.

As a result, they fell into the enemy's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. The civil servants who were responsible for defending the territory could not run away. Apart from risking their lives and being hunted down and surrendered, the only way was to leave a note saying "I will die in danger to repay the king's kindness" and hang it on the southeast branch. The enemy general in front of me

There are two wins at the bottom. If you run away at this time, your life will definitely be safe, and the most you will be punished is a reduction in salary. Don't look at the usual bastards, when it comes to employment, Chao Ting can clearly distinguish what is important and what is important, and it is not impossible to even dismiss him and keep him in charge of meritorious service.

However, one's own morale is a big problem. If the city is bound to be defeated at the beginning, it is called using troops like magic weapons without bloodshed. If you continue to do this after successive defeats, you will be afraid of the enemy - don't even think about it in the future! Your own prestige

, can only be boosted by catching them all in one fell swoop and then massacring the city.

According to details, the food reserves in the city are limited. As long as we fight steadily and do not rush for success, our opponents will be trapped in the city and will inevitably die sooner or later.

So they adjusted their deployment, surrounded four gates, and sent one battalion to each gate every day to guard the troops to break through. The remaining auxiliary troops and garrison soldiers were mobilized, and several official roads were dug into ravines and paths.

Shang Juma dug traps and set up light and dark sentries. Although the troops no longer had the ability to maneuver large-scale long distances due to the loss of auxiliary troops, it was not a problem to defend the camp and pursue and defeat the enemy with short assaults.

Thinking of the auxiliary army, he continued to explain: Each battalion would take out a few fruits and let the experienced commander Qianbian take them with him. They would search the distance carefully to see if they could catch some more escapees who had slipped through the net. At this time, Lala arrived.

There is food in the bowl, which is better than nothing. In particular, we must pay attention to the fact that in case the enemy breaks out, each unit must be cautious when chasing and kill, and capture more strong guys to supplement them.

The generals from all walks of life responded in unison.

Gong Derun, a guerrilla from the Zhenyong Battalion, made a suggestion: No matter which gate the enemy breaks out from, the defenders in front must make blocking and delaying the first priority! No matter what the loss is, after the war, the number of people who block the enemy must be filled up first, and then each battalion recruits people

, if there are any left, the prisoners will be divided among the prisoners according to merit in the end.

This suggestion was unanimously approved by all generals.

We are all veterans of the military, and everyone’s calculations are clear to each other: if the enemy breaks out, he must concentrate all his efforts and make a desperate move. This kind of risk-taking effort may not be stopped by two or three battalions alone. Under normal circumstances, the frontline generals will let go

Pass through most of the enemy troops, leaving behind a part that you can eat. The other side is the first to escape, and it is impossible to fight hard to attack the heavily defended fortress. If you can escape, you can count them one by one. But in this way, the other prisoners who came to aid the friendly forces will be gone.

Everyone's losses were considerable. Replenishing one or two battalions would not mean much to the entire army.

Gong Derun's proposal actually means: Don't retain your strength as an enemy general. Even if you spend all your money, everyone will let you get it back first along with the profit...

After a stalemate for several days, suddenly Tangqi came to report: Hundreds of miles southeast, they found reinforcements from the defenders. They were not large, about a thousand people. But - they were all cavalry!

Guan Shengyun was shocked, and sent several more groups of scouts, each equipped with two horses, to report the enemy's situation at any time. He spread out the map alone and began to think about it...

Half an hour later, there was a soft shout: "Here comes! Send the order: Generals above the guerrilla level in each battalion will come to the Chinese army camp immediately for a military meeting!"
Chapter completed!
