Wang Jian had a large army and could select men who were not only sons but also had brothers who could fulfill their filial piety and pass on the heirs.
Li Xia didn't have this condition. He only selected people based on whether they were elite and dared to die.
On the school field, soldiers came out one by one and announced their names.
"Linzi."
"No need to be so loud," Nie Zhongyou said, "in case someone notices."
"Yes, my name is Lin Zi."
"Qiu Shou."
"Ma Jiu."
"Wang Yixin."
"Lu Gan."
"Lao Santian."
"Jing Ke."
"Um?"
Many people turned to look at the man named Jing Ke.
"Jing Ada, this is not the time for you to joke." Wang Yixin shouted, "The general asked you to give your real name!"
Wang Yixin felt deeply embarrassed, because this Jing Ada was exactly the lieutenant general of his Luzhou army.
"The villain is not kidding, this is the villain's new name."
"What's going on?!"
Jing'a lowered his head and muttered: "The villain thinks that if he dies in battle, he will have a majestic name during the roll call."
"Is that true?" Wang Yixin yelled, "I asked you to give your name because the pension will be sent to your home. When people arrive in your small village, they will shout at the top of their lungs, 'Where is Jingke's family?' Who knows who it is? Your family is there."
Can my mother receive pension?"
Having said this, Jing Ada felt that it made sense.
He had always thought his name was rustic, but not long ago he heard Nie Zhongyou tell the story of Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, and his heart was filled with excitement, so he changed it.
I didn't expect there were so many things in it.
Jing Ada scratched his head and asked stupidly: "Is it possible to call 'Jing Ke Jing Ada'?"
"Damn it, are you still making trouble for me?!" Wang Yixin was furious.
Li Xia, who was writing at the table in front of him, stood up.
Walking up to Jing Ada, Li Xia patted this stupid man on the shoulder.
"It doesn't matter if your name is not good for a hero who is not afraid of death. If you do something heroic, others will only praise and admire you when you mention 'Jing Ada'. Who dares to say that your name is rubbish?"
Li Xia actually didn't want to say this, as he would feel like he was coaxing the soldiers to die.
However, if these soldiers are willing to stand here, he still has to tell them -
"You are worthy of being proud of serving your country."
"Yes! The villain's name is Jing Ada!"
This is the case with these people. Even if they are told many times that they don't need to use modesty, they still can't change it.
"Stop calling me 'little man' and shouting."
"Yes! I am Jing Ada!"
"Jing Ah Da!" Wang Yi couldn't bear it anymore and cursed: "Have you had enough?! Who are you acting so arrogantly in front of?"
Li Xia rarely smiled.
When he smiled, the soldiers around him burst into laughter.
"It was General Wang who acted recklessly first."
On the military register, Jing Ada's name was drawn out in ink.
Seeing that the address at the back was complete, Li Xia wrote down the pension money and said: "Go ahead and report it."
It's like the king of hell hooking up the book of life and death.
But because of this small interruption, it seemed less sad.
In this way, Wang Jian recruited 200 people and Li Xia recruited 100 people to form a death squad of 300 people, preparing to attack the Shizishan camp at night.
Shi Tianze is also preparing to attack Diaoyu City at night.
During the day, he kept sending troops to attack the west gate of the town, pushing the front line forward half a mile.
This is a rugged and dangerous road, and every step is stained with the blood of soldiers.
Having won this victory with a large number of casualties, the Mongolian army had already prepared to continue digging into the mountains to set up artillery carriages.
In the evening, Shi Tianze reported to Meng Ge: "Great Khan, the secret passage has been opened. I will order elite soldiers to enter the city tonight, open the Qisheng Gate, and suppress the west gate. The war can be decided."
Brother Meng stood up and poured a glass of wine for Shi Tianze himself.
"Shi Qing has worked hard and achieved great results. When he captures Lin'an and returns to Hara and Forest, I will give him a large reward."
"Thank you Khan!"
Shi Tianze did not dare to imitate Guan Yunchang and kill Hua Xiong by warming the wine and drinking again when he came back. To capture Diaoyu City, a night of fierce fighting would not be enough.
So, he held the wine glass with both hands and drank it all in one gulp.
Meng was addicted to alcohol and believed that alcohol could cure all diseases. The wine glass was also huge, and Shi Tianze's face turned slightly red.
He kowtowed heavily and turned around to lead the troops, his armor clanking.
If given a choice, Shi Tianze was not willing to make such a surprise attack. In his view, deception could only be used occasionally. If it failed again and again, it would make the military anxious.
In fact, he was already anxious. The siege lasted for more than five months. If the city was not broken, the Great Khan's plan to conquer Shu would be ruined, and Shi Tianze would not be able to live well.
Have to make a desperate move
"Xi Yuanyong, you and Zhang Yun are the vanguard. We must break the city tonight."
"yes!"
Shi Tianze waved to Xi Yuanyong to get closer.
Xi Yuanyong was his trusted general and knew many secrets.
"Remember, when you enter Diaoyu City and encounter Li Xia, you must kill him."
At this time, Li Xia was walking sideways out of the Emperor's Cave and left Diaoyu City.
The night wind blew by.
His hair was tied up, he was wearing Mongolian armor, and a rope was tied around his waist. Several Song soldiers pulled him and slowly lowered him down.
The rocks on the cliff were sharp. He stepped on the vertical cliff step by step, holding the rope with both hands, and the muscles in his arms were tense.
It's dark at night and you can't see how deep it is below.
After climbing for who knows how long, Li Xia finally reached the bottom of the cliff.
"Next."
Wang Jian was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed and concentrating, while Xiang Hou was bandaging his wounds that had broken open.
Although more than two hundred people who dared to die had gathered, the woods were still quiet.
It wasn't until the last warrior came off the cliff that Wang Jian got up.
"Set off."
The three hundred men who dared to die walked forward silently, their hearts burning.
To be beheaded as a general among an army of 100,000 people seems to be every boy’s heroic dream since childhood.
Brother Meng sat in the big tent and drank several pots of strong wine.
His mind gradually moved away from Diaoyu City. He was not only thinking about Diaoyu City, but also the entire Great Mongolia.
"The news of the Western Expedition has arrived today. Hulagu has destroyed the Mulayi Kingdom."
"Where is the Mulayi Kingdom?" Meng Ge's wife Yesu'er asked.
Yesu'er is thirty-seven years old this year and is not very beautiful, but her great-aunt Borte was Genghis Khan's wife, and her sister Kudutai was Meng Ge's previous wife.
After Kudutai's death, Yesuer married her brother-in-law and became Ketun of today's Great Mongolia.
She has given birth to a daughter.
Brother Meng also had no shortage of sons, and the one designated to inherit the throne of Khan was his third son, Yulong Dafa, born in Hudutai.
Yesuer hopes that the child born to her sister will become a great Khan in the future.
The Great Mongolia is not like the Central Plains where the father dies and the son succeeds. The Khan's throne has to be elected by the Khuritai Assembly, and often only the prime of life is selected.
Brother Meng is fifty-one years old this year. When he dies of old age, Yulong will be in his prime.
Therefore, Yesuer had no intention of giving birth to a son to succeed him.
The couple had the same idea, so they were both very afraid of Hulagu, a brother with outstanding military exploits.
At this time, Brother Meng did not answer where the Mulayi Kingdom was, but said: "I want to capture Zhao Song before Hulagu returns from the Western Expedition."
In one sentence, it also expresses the purpose of the Great Mongol Kingdom's Western Expedition.
Occupying all territories in the world is one of them, and Meng Ge does have such ambitions.
In addition to this ambition, the Western Expedition was often one of the means used in the Mongolian Khan's struggle for the throne.
Expelled Xu Liegu, and then used the power of destroying the Song Dynasty to establish his son as his heir.
However, it has been delayed for more than five months in the small Diaoyu City!
If Brother Meng hadn't been so magnanimous, he would have been furious.
The couple chatted for a while, but Yasu'er saw that it was getting late and advised: "The news of the city's destruction will not come back so early. Dahan should rest first. After the city's destruction, there is still much to do."
Meng Ge has spent his whole life fighting here and there, but he won't be able to sleep because of a little battle. He nodded and Ren Yesuer took off his helmet for him.
He is a quiet person and rarely does much activity before going to bed.
Soon, the snoring sounded like thunder.
Sleeping until midnight, Yesuer turned over.
Even though it was October, it was much hotter in the south than on the grassland. She was still sweating in her single clothes, so she took her arms out of the quilt and wiped her forehead.
There was heavy sweating and snoring in my ears, and it became increasingly hot and difficult to sleep.
She stretched out her hand to push Brother Meng, but also thought that there might be some good news coming soon.
Tonight is obviously not suitable
Suddenly, there was a faint scream.
Yesuer thought to himself, could the screams of the Song people be heard from such a distance?
The next moment, she heard what seemed to be a scream in Mongolian.
""
The snoring stopped, and Meng Ge suddenly turned over and stood up.
"Shi Tianze captured Diaoyu City?"
Listening carefully, after a while, the shouts in the distance gradually became clearer and gradually approached.
"Ehxiute!"
"Enemy attack!"
"The enemy attacked and the Song people stole the camp!"
