In terms of attack, everyone is equipped with a steel knife and a small Shen crossbow. In terms of defense, everyone has a set of chain armor with excellent protection. The shoes they wear are also different from ordinary people. They are not cloth.
They are neither grass nor soft leather, but the kind of hard leather boots. Those are good things that money cannot buy. I heard that wearing such shoes will not sting your feet even when walking on stones. It is really very satisfying.
of envy.
Looking at these guards, each one has a high-headed horse, and their food is much better than ordinary people. This sense of superiority is reflected in every aspect, which has long made many rangers envious. I only hate myself.
Because of my identity, I can't join it.
Now, a great opportunity is right in front of us, and people who have been interested in it for a long time have come forward and said, "I am willing to give it a try."
"Very good, let's go and stand in the field." Shi Lei nodded, as if he was willing to accept whoever came.
At this moment, dozens of rangers walked towards the field, including Feng Wanli and Sun Fuhu. These two rangers rarely convinced others. They also wanted to see how long they could last and whether there was a chance to join them.
In the escort team, everyone enjoys the envious gaze.
"Young master, you see, there are quite a few people here, but I don't know if they can hold on." Ao Qi and the other three people looked at each other with their arms folded. They also tried the military posture.
For people like them who have been practicing martial arts under Aoxue's strict requirements since childhood, this is nothing. I still remember that at that time, it took two hours to stand on horseback. That was countless times more tiring than standing in the military posture.
.
They found that this station was not too difficult. What was more difficult was to test a person's obedience and discipline. It did not help improve martial arts, so the three of them simply stopped going.
It prevents them from watching other people standing there, and they are watching the excitement.
"Yes, they all want to give it a try. It seems that the treatment of our escort team has made some people jealous. This is a good thing. These people are also good prospects." Shen Ao looked at this scene with satisfaction. He likes people who are motivated.
People, only such people can create more value. On the contrary, those who take things easy are not bad, but they just lack the spirit of adventure. They can defend the city, but it is difficult to start a business.
Thinking that the number of more than a thousand guards was not very large, and if there was any loss on the battlefield, there would not even be a replacement, so I came up with the idea of preparing more reserves. "If you continue to inform, anyone who can stand for half an hour
Yes, I will be rewarded with one tael of silver, and I will be rewarded with 10 taels of silver for an hour. If you come to the station every day, I will give it every day."
The most important thing for Shen Ao is money. The benefits that his property in Daliang City can bring to him every day reach hundreds of thousands taels or even more. This does not include the auction of glass. In his eyes, it is natural that it can be used
The problems that silver solves are no longer problems at all.
Ao Qi got the order and went down to deliver the order. As soon as the silver reward ratio came out, there were more people standing in the square. They all wanted to take this opportunity to earn more money, but they were also invisible.
I began to obey the discipline of the young prince.
...
Five days later, news came from the reconnaissance brigade that the barbarian army finally arrived and set up camp ten miles south of Xiucheng. It looked like they were going to have a good rest for a day and prepare to attack the city early tomorrow morning.
Already.
Although they had already received news of the arrival of the barbarian army, when it actually happened, many people still looked nervous. After all, there were 20,000 barbarian troops, and their total number was only 6,000. The number was only 6,000. The ratio is so disparate, how can anyone be able to calm down?
On a tall wooden turret that had just been built in Xiucheng, Shen Ao put down the telescope in his hand. He had already seen the endless military tents of the barbarian army in the distance, and felt the aura of an approaching army.
Shen Ao also felt that everyone in the city was looking at him. At this moment, he seemed to have become the backbone of everyone. When he was here, everyone would be full of confidence and united. If he was not there, everyone would endure it. You can't help but lose your fighting spirit.
Shen Ao felt that he should say something to cheer everyone up and lift everyone's spirits. His eyes were slightly closed at first, and then they opened quickly, and his voice came out loudly——
Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it, and the armor's light shines towards the golden scales of the sun.
The sound of the trumpet fills the autumn sky, stuffed with swallow fat and the night is purple.
A half-rolled red flag stands near the Yishui River, and the sound of heavy frost and cold drums cannot be heard.
I will report my wishes to you on the golden platform, and I will guide the jade dragon to die for you.
Li He's "Yanmen Prefecture" in the Tang Dynasty tells the story of the enemy soldiers rolling in like black clouds, trying to destroy the city wall; our army has been under strict treatment, the sun shines on the armor, and a golden light shines. In the autumn colors, the military trumpets are loud. The sky and the earth shook; the blood of the soldiers turned dark purple in the dark night. The red flag was half-rolled, and the reinforcements rushed to Yishui; the night was cold and frosty, and the drums sounded dull and low. Just to repay the king's kindness, I held my sword in my hand and regarded death as home.
Doesn’t this fit the scene in front of us?
An exciting war poem came out of the mouth and reached everyone's ears. It seemed that they were really inspired. Many people involuntarily puffed up their chests, with a strong fighting spirit in their eyes. It seemed that at this moment, Now, the barbarian army is not so scary anymore.
The barbarian army camp. After the barbarian king arrived, he took the second prince, the princess, the vanguard general Ran Chaoming, the middle army general Shajie, and the accompanying army general Xiang Longqiang and others straight to Xiucheng. They only ran for five miles. Then we saw the deep pits and trenches crisscrossing in front of us.
"Your Majesty, the enemy was hiding here at that time and caught the Xiang people by surprise." Upon seeing these trenches, Xiang Longqiang said in pain as if he had seen an enemy with a blood feud.
"Well, this thing can indeed stop the war horses from running wildly on the battlefield." General Shajie of the Chinese army stepped forward and took a look, and said with a sigh on his face.
The vanguard general Ran Chaoming was a seven-foot tall man with broad and powerful hands. He also stepped forward to look at the trench, jumped into it and tried it, and then said: "This thing can indeed stop the cavalry's charging momentum, allowing the cavalry to charge forward." The advantage of our barbarian knights has been reduced to the minimum."
The generals spoke one after another, and all this fell into the ears of the Barbarian King. His expression did not change at all. Instead, he looked at the accompanying second prince Origi and Princess Oyadan, obviously wanting to listen. The opinions of these two people.
When given the opportunity to perform, Origi would never let it go. "Father, generals, in my opinion, this is nothing extraordinary. We barbarians fight bravely, how can we be trapped by some deep pits?" If you don't block it, the worst we can do is lead our horses through. As long as we get to the gates of Xiucheng, these things will no longer be meaningful."
"Idiot." Hearing the voice of the two sons, a flash of anger flashed through the Barbarian King's eyes. He only knew how to fight bravely and ruthlessly, but he didn't even have any strategy. Don't you know that without the speed of the war horse, the advantage cannot be realized?
?
The second prince still needs experience. With his current state of mind, if the barbarians are handed over to his hands, they are probably not far away from being torn apart or even destroyed.
"No, the second brother Wang said that the king sister does not agree." Oyadan spoke up. Although she is a woman, she is very heroic in the armor at this time. Even looking from a distance, she looks very heroic.
I can't tell whether she is a boy or a girl.
The daughter had a different opinion, which also attracted the curious eyes of the Barbarian King. On the other hand, the second prince Origi looked unhappy, feeling that he had been disrespected in front of his father, so he asked Oyadan angrily, but
I wonder what Sister Wang has to say?"
Seeing the anger in the eyes of the Second Prince, Oyadan did not put it into his eyes. She had long disliked this idiot, the Second Prince, and there was no need to give him any face. "Father, everyone.
General, look at these trenches, they are crisscrossed here. It is not wrong to block us, but in fact they are also imprisoning themselves in the city. Next, as long as we surround this place, we can win without a fight.
.Moreover, since they live here, the rear must be empty. We only need to send a cavalry to bypass this place. At that time, won’t the city of Suduishana, including the city of Bakhanna, all fall into our hands?”
"Well, what the princess said is very good." The barbarian king finally had a smile on his face, and he became more and more satisfied when he looked at Oyadan. This is his son and daughter who can say the key things in one sentence.
, seeing the key points, it was worth studying with me for so long and seeing so much.
The princess was praised by her father, but she was ignored, which made the second prince's face even more ugly. But in front of his father, he couldn't get angry, so he could only endure everything. But in his heart, Russia
Yadan was obsessed with holding a grudge, and would only look good to her when there was a suitable opportunity.
Ignoring what the second prince was thinking, the Barbarian King spoke again: "The princess's words are indeed reasonable. But before that, we still have to see who our opponents are and what kind of preparations they have.
This method should only be used when there is no other choice."
Obviously, the Barbarian King wanted to fight quickly. He came with 20,000 troops, but he still wanted to look at the eyes of the enemy whose troops were far inferior to his own. How could he be willing and how could he give up? He must get in touch with his opponent first.
Then act on camera.
Several other generals also agreed with the Barbarian King. Only on the battlefield can they show their abilities. In a tight siege, how could they show their power?
Needless to say, Xiang Longqiang said that if he stayed for one more day, his brothers would suffer for one more day. He didn't want to wait for a moment, he just wanted to rush into Xiucheng now, kill all the enemies, and save Xiang's family.
People are in water and fire.
After looking at the terrain, the vanguard general Ran Chaoming said that he would lead a thousand cavalry and two thousand steps to test the opponent's attitude tomorrow. Naturally, the Barbarian King agreed with this. He also wanted to see how the army would approach the border tomorrow.
When the time comes, how will the young Duke of Daqian respond? Now that he has come to the barbaric land this time, don’t think about leaving.
