Shiwei Nu's army had no temptation, only a desperate attack.
Huge casualties can bring fear, but also inspire the courage to risk everything.
In front is the towering Zuowu Pass, and in the back is the Jiuhu team with swords unsheathed and bows strung.
The emotions of the 30,000 Shiwei people were always on the verge of collapse. In order to prevent the Shiwei people from timidly fighting in front of the battle, King Charles I of Rus, an ally of the Jiuhu people, sent a baggage of food, dried meat, and Shiwei.
Wei people’s wine.
Under the stimulation of alcohol, Luo Dan knew that he had no way out, either to break through Zuowuguan, or to be crushed into fertilizer in the valley by the 159,000 Hu army behind him.
The Jiuhu people are fond of sky burial and cremation. Except for a few minor injuries among the 20,000 Shiwei people, the rest, whether they were dead or gasping for breath, were thrown into the deep valley of Langyan Mountain. A fire broke out until now.
It has not been extinguished yet.
Luo Dan, the leader of the 30,000 Shiwei people, was still hungover at this time. Aragbari had obviously lost his patience. The wine that could drown people numbed the already numb nerves of the Shiwei people.
The 30,000-strong Weinu army no longer returned to camp. They were on the north bank of the moat, eating Russian dried meat, wheat rice, and drinking sparkling mixed yellow wine.
Thirty thousand people from Wei Dynasty woke up drunk and washed their faces in the stinky water of the moat soaked by corpses. When they sobered up a little, they were whipped by the Jiuhu supervisors and crossed the wooden bridge made of human life. The siege equipment in the Jiuhu camp.
Nearly a hundred towers were erected, but the Shiwei people could only use light ladders to attack the city.
Shiwei people were abandoned!
Alagbaz became anxious under the urging of the messenger from King Charles I of Rus in the rear!
The siege became a killing field that consumed human lives.
There were 2,000 people in the outpost, and there were over 1,000 casualties before. Su Ce gave the outpost captain Xie Kaizheng 500 new soldiers, 1,500 people. Under the intoxicating attack of the Shiwei people, only about 600 people are still fighting.
.
The number of general jars in the left hall of the Duwei Mansion has exceeded one thousand.
On June 30, it rained heavily and the water in the moat surged.
In the pouring rain, military officials in Zuowuguan Duwei Mansion were coming and going in a hurry, and brigade commanders were coming and going from time to time.
War brings not only casualties, but also military exploits and so-called glory!
Su Ce issued hundreds of death certificates in succession. At the same time, Su Ce promoted hundreds of brigade commanders.
Leave one blank and fill in one.
The bad news is that compared with the 8,500 men ten years ago, Su Ce now has only more than 6,000 available troops. There are thousands of wounded soldiers lying in the wounded barracks, and more than a thousand generals have been placed in the left hall.
.
The good news is that after their first experience in the war, the new soldiers of Zuowuguan have gradually adapted to the cruel battlefield of the border pass. The battalions, captains and brigade commanders are now being prepared, finally getting rid of the embarrassing situation of having soldiers but no generals, and they can only be used as supplementary troops.
.
War is never a child's play, and every military order is a living life. Su Ce failed to fight well in the previous battle on Jiannan Road. Now, Su Ce must fight well in this battle.
Either he will be granted the title of Marquis of Wu, or he will die and his title will disappear.
Su Ce asked himself that he was not a person who was greedy for power, but his position as the leader of the Northern Army was really depressing.
Ten thousand frontier troops were a greeting gift from the Anbei lineage to Su Ce, the new military leader, and they were also a cross-cutting knife placed on Su Ce's neck.
In life, he will sit firmly in the position of military leader; in death, he will be buried with thousands of troops.
This is a game between imperial nobles and top generals, and Zuowuguan is a letter of invitation sent to Su Ce.
Whether he can hold on or not depends on Su Ce's luck.
Su Ce's teacher Li Sizhe used his old troops to exchange a thousand wounded soldiers for a thousand wounded soldiers in the name of defense adjustment. The Anbei line did not stop him, which was considered a favor to the old army leader. But years ago, Su Ce will no longer have any reinforcements.
The wooden village at Nangukou has been filled with bricks and stones, and it may only take a month or two to build a pass wider than Zuowuguan.
After Zuowuguan is cleared, the three-pass Protectorate only needs to correct the "errors" on the map on the garrison map.
Zuowuguan was defended, and the Protectorate of the Three Passes became the Protectorate of the Four Passes.
In any case, the Protector's Mansion at all three levels will not be damaged.
As for Su Ce's life and death, in addition to the nobles and generals of the Anbei line who are still paying attention, the entire Sanguan Protectorate has been issued a hush-hush order, and the Beiyuan Protectorate has also blocked official news.
The Jianzhang supervisors in Chang'an City and the commanders and generals from various armies gathered together, and the number reached 500. These people were all young generals sent by the armies to learn military strategies.
After they graduate, they will return to their own armies and become famous generals and commanders who will be used by all armies in the coming decades.
Thirteen Xiang troops, four frontier troops, ten troops from the East Palace, sixteen guards from the South Yamen, six troops from the North Yamen, and Zulingling guards.
Saints, princes, clans, nobles, generals, you are among me, and you are among me. The entanglements between all parties have already become a mess.
The saint wants to balance the government and the opposition, the prince wants to hold real power, the clan wants to have a transcendent status, the nobles want power to pass down the family, and the generals want to win titles through bloody battles.
Each party has its own calculations, and the divisions of building a chapter and supervisor are clearly defined. The commander-in-chief is the leader of the team, and the commander-in-chief is the soldier.
The military strategy has been given, and the old commander Li Sizhe is now just instructing the generals from the Anbei line to practice military strategy.
The Thirteen Dao Xiang armies were newly established and were not yet qualified to compete in the Imperial Army.
Among the four frontier armies, except for the Anbei Protectorate, the commanders and generals of the other three governorates are competing for the position of military leader.
The ten leaders in the East Palace are ostensibly headed by Jiang Lan, but although Jiang Lan is the eldest son of the Duke of Qi, there are other princes and princes among the ten leaders. The position of leader of the East Palace is vacant, and it is not known what the prince Zhao Zaicheng is planning.
Although the Sixteenth Guards of Nanya and the Sixth Army of Beiya share the territory of the capital, neither Luoyang nor Chang'an wants the other to take the military leadership position. Now they are debating all day in Jianzhangjian. If they are not convinced by the debate, they will fight with fists and kicks. It doesn't look like they are from the same army at all.
The Sixth Army of Bei Ya, as the emperor's personal army and accompanying the saints, has a transcendent status, and the leader of the army can only be a saint.
The ancestral mausoleum guards were respected by their bloodline. They practiced military strategies with the generals from the Anbei line and watched the battles in Jianzhang Prison.
Su Ce, who was far away in Zuowuguan, didn't know what was happening in the Jianzhang Prison far away in Chang'an. Su Ce, who respected the general as a general, was in a heavy mood. Since the war, Su Ce had frowned except when meeting his subordinates. Never relaxed.
"Pass to Zhao Yu!" Su Ce finished writing the last promotion order, put down the brush in his hand, stood up and stretched his body, looking quite relaxed.
Su Ce was already a little numb to the fighting on the city wall. A handsome man has no good intentions!
Su Ce is undoubtedly going through a process of transforming from a general to a commander. What man wouldn't yearn for him to be a general and then a commander, but if you put yourself in his shoes, you can only swallow the pain of being a general and a commander.
"I've met the captain!" Zhao Yu is usually a tidy person, but now the grease on his hair is shining with black light, and the locks of hair stick to his head.
Su Ce looked at Zhao Yu, who was getting more and more shabby in front of him, and his nose was slightly touched by a smell: "How are the grain and grass reserves in the pass?"
The battle to defend the city was a war of attrition. As the number of people in Zuowuguan was reduced to less than 8,000, the food supply was originally planned to last until the beginning of next spring, but I am afraid it will last longer.
These days, Zhao Yu was sent by Su Ce every day to collect supplies in the customs, so he took out a booklet from his arms with ease.
"By the 30th day of the sixth month, the remaining grain was: 27,200 shi of millet, 6,400 shi of wheat, 4,200 shi of rice, and 2,200 shi of beans.
Meat: 8,720 pieces of various types of dried meat, each weighing ten pounds;
Vegetables: less than a hundred stones, dried vegetables: twelve hundred stones.
Sauce: four hundred and sixty jars, vinegar: three hundred and sixty jars."
After Su Ce heard about the food reserves, he couldn't help but nodded. The most fearful thing about the city defense battle was not enough food. Now, all the troops in the pass are eating all kinds of food every day. They will also be able to eat after the spring of next year. By then, the three years of no conscription have already expired.
.
"Where are the arrows?" The best weapon in a city defense battle is the crossbow, so the reserve of arrows is undoubtedly Su Ce's greatest concern.
"Back to the captain, I was going to camp to receive military orders from the captain's mansion. Day and night were reversed. People were replaced but not furnaces. Less than 30% of the raw materials sent from the south were left. Now the weapons are sufficient. All kinds of crossbows and arrows have just passed today.
Twenty thousand!
Ten thousand pots of arrows are stored for the arm-opening crossbow, and the arrows at the gate of the city are expected to last for two days.
The enemy is equipped with armor, and white-feathered arrows can only be used for harassment, so the commander has been making red-feathered arrows. There are still 20,000 pots of white-feathered arrows in the pass, and the red-feathered arrows in the arsenal have increased to 90,000 pots."
Zhao Yu's words were full of excitement. There were more than 120,000 pots of arrows of various types. You must know that a pot of white feather arrows has thirty pieces, a pot of red feather arrows has twenty pieces, and a pot of crossbow arrows has thirty-one.
There are a total of 2.4 million feather arrows, 300,000 arm crossbow arrows, plus 20,000 bed crossbow arrows used for bed crossbows, coupled with the towering city wall of Zuowuguan, 159,000 Hu army plus 50,000
So what about the Shiwei people!
"Where are the wounded soldiers?" Su Ce mentioned the wounded soldiers and frowned. No matter how well prepared before the battle, casualties are inevitable.
"Nineteen people were seriously injured today. They have served the country loyally. There are 1,223 wounded soldiers left, of which 893 will be able to recover in two months. The remaining wounded soldiers are disabled!" Speaking of the wounded soldiers!
, Zhao Yu’s excitement just now was washed away by sadness.
Su Ce patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder, and the two looked at each other speechlessly. This is a battlefield, and there is no one who is not dead or injured!
Su Ce originally intended to ask Xie Kaizheng to attack the Jiuhu people at the outpost, fearing that the Jiuhu people would be beaten head-on. However, it was obvious that the Jiuhu people who had obtained 50,000 Wei Nu troops did not care about the life or death of the Wei people in the front room of the outpost.
The Jiuhu people have been consuming the Shiwei people in the past few days, and the Shiwei people are almost exhausted.
The place where corpses are dumped, which the Jiuhu people call Corpse Valley, is now almost full with nearly 40,000 Shiwei people. As soon as the rain fell today, the Shiwei people seemed to have calmed down after being soaked by the rain. The mean Jiuhu Prisoner
Today, more than 70 people in the army were attacked and killed by Shiwei soldiers.
Alagbaz didn't want to be betrayed by the Shiwei people who were like wild beasts that died frequently. The wine and food were as usual. Now that the low wall has been demolished, Aragbaz was ready to let the more than 10,000 Shiwei people go south, and the army led the cavalry.
According to the information returned, Daqian's army at Gunankou was no longer satisfied with the simple wooden village, and began to dig soil and trenches in the south of the valley, and built masonry walls on the basis of the wooden village.
This made Aragbari very angry. The former Anbei Protectorate used this method. It first built a beacon fort on the south bank of the Wuding River, expanded the beacon fort, expanded the garrison, expanded the garrison, and expanded the garrison to defend the city. Beicheng.
The layers of fortifications are like a noose around the necks of the Jiuhu people, tightening little by little until the Jiuhu people are unable to recover. In the past, millions of divisions on the grassland can only survive and become vassals of other countries.
The Anbei Protectorate is working hard at every step. After the war, there will definitely be a large-scale construction project. The grassland that once supported tens of millions of Jiuhu people was squeezed bit by bit by the rogue tactics of the Daqian people to Wuding, Hebei. A few years ago, the previous president Anbei Governor Li Sizhe launched the Battle of Dashi.
A battle to determine the north!
Anbei's century-old plan has used the smoothest method to add a territory of nearly two thousand miles long and nearly a thousand miles wide to Daqian, which can easily accommodate two million households.
Alagba was filled with hatred and hatred for why his ancestors did not pull out those abominable beacon forts at the forefront.
I hate the cunning of the Dagan people. If they destroy a beacon fort, the Jiuhu people will have to pay at least ten times their own lives. This is a poisonous strategy to boil a frog in warm water.
Aragbari didn't know if the Jiuhu people had any hope of returning to the grassland.
It's just that there are some things he has to do, just like he killed those Jiuhu nobles who were dead bodies, and used the wealth accumulated by the Jiuhu people for hundreds of years to lobby the Ross nobles, just to arm a large army that can fight back to the grassland, but the Jiuhu people By the time of his reign, there were only 50,000 elite cavalrymen left among the millions.
Aragba woke up in the middle of the night. If the Jiuhu people who became vassals of the Rus Kingdom could not return to the grassland and were not easy to read and write, it might not take three generations to completely integrate into the Jiuhu people of the Rus Kingdom. At that time, there were still a few Jiuhu people who could remember the turbulent waters of Wuding River and the lush grasslands.
Perhaps only Dagan people who like to record things would tell their children about the Jiuhu people by the Wuding River.
Aragba, who was tossing and turning in the middle of the night, thought of this, and his eyes turned red, and in an instant it poured down like heavy rain outside the tent.
There is never such a thing as good and evil, one's hero and one's enemy.
Su Ce, who was also unable to sleep in the Zuowuguan Commandery, lit candlelight, put on his clothes and looked through the death certificates that had not yet been issued. Maybe their families were looking forward to their return, maybe their families thought they were still alive. In this world, maybe they...maybe there are too many possibilities.
Su Ce sighed leisurely: "Be loyal to the country and die without regrets!"
At the Jiuhu camp, Aragba was also wearing clothes, looking at Zuowuguan, which had been unbreakable for a long time. The rain stopped. I don’t know how many casualties the Jiuhu warriors suffered during the attack, but it seems to be a good thing to be able to face their hometown before they die. Good thing.
After reading the death document in his hand, Su Ce had no impression of the fallen frontier soldier. Su Ce, feeling depressed, walked to the desk, spread out a piece of white silk, polished the ink, and picked up the pen but didn't know what to write. .
Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, he held a pen in his right hand and dipped it in ink, and wrote two characters "武" on a piece of white silk.
From words to meaning!
Martial arts means marching war, conquests and demonstrations!
Wu means that when a person moves with a sword in his hand, he will stop the fighting.
Su Ce had two completely opposite thoughts in his mind, and he didn't know which one was his understanding of "wu".
