Chapter 35 Soldiers approaching the city
It can be said that no one expected that Lu Chen would be the commander of the border army. Under the feudal dynasty system at that time, the powerful and noble were nepotism. As long as they were their own people, they would rather appoint waste than talented civilians.
Because in their opinion, using a person who has nothing to do with him is equivalent to giving up the power to outsiders.
This is a common problem in the feudal dynasty, and Fengguo is no exception.
It can be said that Lu Chen's appointment of Xiao Wang was a very absurd and incredible thing in the eyes of people at that time. Lu Chen naturally understood this, so he killed Chen Liang, the commander of the thousand-time captain, and then personally taught Xiao Wang's sword in front of the soldiers of the army, so that the latter could fight this battle with confidence and boldness!
There is no doubt that he had a more advanced idea than the times at that time. He was able to abandon the distinction between high and low, and had an enlightenment that people did not have at that time. It was precisely his enlightenment that allowed him to know people and take good responsibilities, select talents and use abilities.
Lu Chen's disregard for his background, his keen eyes and great power were deeply moved by Xiao Wang. From the moment he received the order, the latter also thought that he had finally met the master of his destiny.
In the years that followed, he also made great contributions to Lu Chen's battle in the world!
Let’s talk about Xiao Wang. After dispatching troops at the school, he first rushed to Wuguan to inspect the city defense, and then rushed to Hulukou and personally directed the soldiers to set up camp.
This place is a valley, and the reason why it is called gourd mouth is because if you look down from the topography, the entire valley is like a huge gourd, with a narrow entrance and loose inside the valley.
After Wuguan, there is Hulukou. Through this valley, there is a plain with a flat mountain. You can not only see the outline of the border town, but also sweep the surrounding villages.
Therefore, if the barbarians want to plunder, they not only need to break through Wu Pass, but also a must-pass place.
Xiao Wang chose to set up a camp here. On the surface, he wanted to build another barrier after Wuguan, but in fact he had deeper plans.
He has been sharpening his sword for ten years and has never had the chance to show his strength. This time he finally met the wise master, but he didn't want to defeat the barbarian soldiers. If he just resisted the attack of the barbarian soldiers, then he could rely on the solid city defense of Wuguan to fight a city defense with the barbarian soldiers.
What he wants to do is to become famous in one battle.
The Anzha location of the camp chosen by Xiao Wang was from the entrance of the valley to the end of the gourd. There were dense forests on both sides of the valley. He ordered the soldiers of the border to obtain materials on the spot. Every five miles apart, a camp tent was set up, connected and stretching for more than twenty miles...
On the other side.
Tus Kingdom sent Rude as a general and led 50,000 barbarians to attack the border of Feng Kingdom.
Rud was a hereditary nobleman of Tus. His father and grandfather were famous generals of Tus and had made great contributions. He was promoted to a senior general in the army at the age of twenty-five.
The Tusi land is mainly composed of large areas of deserts, and there is not much fertile land suitable for cultivation, so a considerable number of materials have always been plundering the borders of the Wind Kingdom.
Over time, this became a habit, and then it evolved into an extremely bad vicious cycle. The more plundered, the more sweet Tuss tasted, which made it more greedy and plunder more frequently...
For more than a hundred years, in the hearts of Tus people, whether it is the soldiers in the army or ordinary people, they have almost reached a subconscious mind, that is, wolves eat sheep!
In their eyes, the silk brocade of Feng Kingdom, grain and rice, and those delicate and tender girls are undoubtedly inexhaustible "treasures", and the Feng army soldiers who guard these treasures are undoubtedly more like a group of docile "sheep".
Under the raging wolves, no matter how many sheep there are, they can only be slaughtered. However, a few days ago, in the eyes of Tus, it was a routine plunder, but was blocked by the Feng army and killed their three thousand soldiers and defeated them!
This was an incredible thing to the King of Tus, and the defeated Tus army was also considered a shame to Tus country, and all of them were beheaded and displayed in public.
Therefore, at the parliament of Tus, when Rud asked for the order, the King of Tus agreed without even thinking about it, and waved his hand and sent him 50,000 elite troops to Rud.
In the past plundering wars in Tus, most of them sent a light cavalry of thousands of people, sweeping by like a strong wind.
Tusi did not have the strength to occupy Fengguo, and they themselves knew this truth very well, so they just plundered, and never dispatched large troops, nor did they send infantry to attack cities and villages.
However, this time, Rude led 50,000 barbarians, of which only 10,000 cavalry and 40,000 infantry. The purpose is also very clear. It is not only to avenge the previous shame, but also to teach Feng Guo a severe lesson! Let Feng Guo understand that the wolf cannot be defeated by the sheep!
Three days later, the Tus army had already arrived at the city of Wuguan.
Wang Yan, who received the news, rushed to the top of the city immediately. He held the arrows in his hand and looked down, unable to help but be shocked.
Looking around, outside Wuguan City, there are Huang Cancan’s heads. As the saying goes, if there are more than 10,000 people, there will be no boundaries. These 50,000 troops are truly overwhelming and can’t see the end at a glance!
What is even more frightening is that the barbarians are wearing upper bodies, all of whom are tall and strong, wearing animal skin, wearing trousers, with blond hair, holding scimitars in their hands. Before the war started, they are already screaming under the city, and they are like uncivilized savages.
However, a general in the lead was wearing a steel helmet and armor, riding on a tall horse, holding a large spear, looking majestic.
This person is Rude, the commander of the barbarian soldiers. As a young generation of noble general in Tus, it can be said that Rude looked down on the soldiers of the Feng Kingdom from the bottom of his heart. Although this was his first time to command troops, he was full of arrogance and did not take Wang Yan's ten thousand defenders seriously at all.
His deputy general, even his confidant in his mansion, was also a domineering lord in Tussland for many years. At this time, when the troops were at the city, he rode his horse to Rude and said directly: "General Rude, I think we should attack the city quickly! First, slaughter all the little sheep of Wuguan, then attack the border city, and loot them all!"
"No!" Rude shook his head and said with a smile: "In the eyes of those of the Central Plains, have we always regarded as uncivilized savages? Humph! Today, we will let them know what a wolf is! What a sheep is!"
"Come here! Call! This general wants to kill these Fengguo sheep in person! Let them know how mighty the general of our Tusi Kingdom is!" (To be continued)
