Some old soldiers who did not know Fan Guanghe's true identity chuckled, "These Liao thieves are not here to attack the city. Attacking the city, how can it be like this?"
"Old Li Tou, you are still not afraid in the face of danger. I have to learn from you, old brother."
Fan Guanghe said with a smile.
He is actually more tactful than Zhai Yangzhou, or more low-key and reserved. Therefore, his relationship with these veterans of the team is closer than that between Zhai Yangzhou and his team of scouts.
These flattering words made the old soldiers smile again.
They didn't know who Fan Guanghe was, but they still knew that Fan Guanghe had a good background. It was a good feeling to be flattered by such a young master.
Fan Guanghe continued to look at the Qingqi at the bottom of the city, which was outside the range of the crossbowmen.
After a brief commotion, these light cavalry formed a rather neat formation under the city.
At the front, a horse rode out from behind.
The cavalry drove their horses to the bottom of the city, only ten meters away from the city gate. The soldiers at the city gate could already see his face clearly.
But he is not from the Liao Dynasty, but has a face from the Central Plains.
"Bah! Shit!"
"How could such a bastard come out of nowhere!"
"..."
Many soldiers on the top of the city showed anger and disdain.
No matter what era or dynasty you are in, people like this who abandon their homeland and betray their ethnic group will be deeply despised by others.
This cavalryman obviously did not have this awareness.
With an arrogant look on his face, he shouted toward the tower: "I am Yelu, the fourth prince of the Liao Kingdom, who has just taken the opportunity to join the army. Where is the leader of the army in the pass? Come out quickly and answer!"
"Answer your mother's legs!"
There was constant shouting on the city walls.
But Fan Sheng, who had arrived here, still showed up and shouted: "This general is Fan Sheng, the commander-in-chief of Fengmen Pass. The foreign slaves under the city just say what they want and fart when they want. Grandpa, I don't have much time to talk to you."
What he said made him feel relieved.
Then there was laughter again on the tower.
When the council officer saw this situation, he looked a little ugly and said angrily: "I heard that General Fan is a famous Confucian general in the northwest. He has a reputation for being considerate of the soldiers and being kind to others. I didn't expect him to be so vulgar, but he doesn't live up to his name.
.I am not here today to show off my rhetoric to you, General."
He raised his eyes and looked directly at Fan Sheng who was surrounded by generals, "I just came to convey a message to you, the fourth prince of the Daliao Kingdom. I believe you have all seen the prosperity of our Daliao Kingdom's cavalry just now. If you are interested, you can
Turn on the switch and surrender as soon as possible. Then the fourth prince will be able to say a few nice words for you in front of the emperor. When I, the Liao Dynasty, take control of the Central Plains, I will give you endless glory and wealth. If not..."
"Fuck you!"
"What a fucking straight bitch!"
"You are worthy enough to take over the Central Plains! Let your empress warm the bed for me!"
"..."
Before he finished talking about joining the army, there were already curses on the city walls.
However, these scoldings were noisy, and were disturbed by the howling wind from the frontier fortress, so the discussion below about joining the army was not very clear.
He just knew that the soldiers above were scolding him.
His face turned red, and he knew that this was not the time for a quarrel, so he suppressed the urge to talk back, pretending that he had not heard anything, pretending not to take these ordinary soldiers to heart, and then shouted: "If not, it's
At the end of this month, my army will invade the territory and your territory will become a river of blood!"
The last sentence was the key point, causing the shouting and cursing on the city top to stop instantly.
The soldiers just thought, is this Liao traitor crazy?
He actually revealed his siege plan in such a grand manner.
Is it a scam?
Or do these Liao thieves have anything to rely on?
Fan Sheng and other generals also frowned.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
They were also not sure what the Liao Army's commander, Yelu, had in mind when he took the opportunity to send these 10,000 light cavalry to "show off", and then asked him to join the army for a "surrender" that was clear to have no results. They only knew
, regardless of whether the discussion about joining the army is true or false, it is an established fact that the Liao army is about to attack the city.
It's already entering the second half of the month, and there are only more than ten days left until the end of the month.
The Liao thieves said that if they attack at the end of the month, they may launch the attack in advance, but it is impossible to postpone it because it would be a slap in the face.
Fan Sheng did not respond to the following discussion about joining the army.
The person who was discussing the matter of joining the army did not intend to wait for his answer, so he immediately rode back to the military formation.
Not long after, ten thousand light cavalry turned their horses' heads, and the rear army acted as the front army. They rolled up yellow dust and retreated as fast as a torrent.
The sense of urgency surrounding the city with dark clouds in the pass has dissipated a lot.
But the soldiers were still talking about it, and the topic was naturally nothing more than what the four princes of the Liao Kingdom were planning, how to deal with it when the Liao army came to kill them, etc.
Fan Sheng led the generals back to the Chinese army's tent.
"What do you think?"
Fan Sheng asked as soon as Da Ma Jin Dao arrived in the tent and sat down.
His eyes swept over the generals.
"In my opinion, this is just a bluff by the Liao thieves to disrupt our military morale."
Sitting on the lower left side of Fan Sheng is a sallow-faced middle-aged general named Ling Yonghe. He is the deputy commander-in-chief of Fengmen Pass. His status and power are only below Fan Sheng's, and he is also Fan Sheng's right-hand man.
one.
He was born with a bitter face, and looking at the bitter look on his face, he analyzed: "If the Liao thieves are really that powerful, they can just come directly to attack the city, and they shouldn't be able to pull off these vain tricks. I heard
Yelu was the most cunning among his brothers. Maybe he just wanted us brothers to eat poorly and sleep poorly. If this continues, by the end of the month, when our brothers are exhausted, he will make money.
It’s so cheap.”
"Oh……"
As he spoke, he sneered again, "But this guy is too naive."
His eyes swept over the generals in the tent, "Our brothers at Fengmenguan have all seen large-scale battles, how can we be intimidated by him? Let alone attacking the city at the end of the month, even if he said he would come tomorrow, we still can't.
You can still sleep soundly, right?"
"Ha ha."
All the generals in the tent felt energized and laughed when they heard his words.
Ling Yonghe's analysis was completely flawless.
For ordinary soldiers, exerting such pressure may indeed be effective, but for soldiers like Fengmenguan, it has no effect.
The soldiers in the pass have all fought against the Liao bandits on the battlefield. They used to have their heads tucked into their belts. Even the new recruits served as scouts and observed the Liao bandits at close range. Who would think that the Liao bandits are unstoppable?
?
That Yelu Qiji was just wishful thinking.
His tricks like this will only make the fighting spirit of the brothers in Guan even higher.
Fan Sheng nodded slightly after listening to Ling Yonghe's analysis.
"I'm just worried that they will attack early."
However, some generals also expressed their concerns.
"That's useless."
Ling Yonghe said categorically with a sneer: "Except for small surprise attacks, if the Liao bandit army wants to invade Fengmen Pass, it must pass through the line of sky to the north of us. You all know how long the line of sky is, and it will take them such a long time to ride lightly.
, it is impossible for an army with heavy baggage to move quickly."
"I'm talking about surprise attack."
The general who just spoke said.
Everyone here knows the geographical advantage of the line of sky. With the presence of the line of sky, Fengmenguan has enough time to prepare for the enemy.
But masters are different from ordinary soldiers. Let alone the Yixiantian Canyon, even the nearly ten-meter-high city wall of Fengmen Pass can be as smooth as walking on flat ground.
Everyone in the tent looked thoughtful.
Normally, no country would send super masters to fight on the battlefield. This is a rule established by the countries surrounding Da Chongqing.
But no one can guarantee that the Liao Kingdom will definitely not break the rules.
After all, Fengmen Pass is the top priority and is the barrier of Dayu. The strategic significance of breaking Fengmen Pass is too great.
