There was no need for orders from superior officers at all. As soon as the gong sounded, Gongwugeshi responded.
But although I am shocked, I am not confused.
The soldiers immediately dropped their food and water bags, grabbed their bags, swords, guns, bows and arrows, and filed out.
In less than a hundred breaths, all twenty soldiers had left the tent, arranged in double rows and five columns, neatly lined up outside their respective tents.
And the fifty guards, the five closest to Li Chengzhi's tent, had already formed a circular formation, tightly protecting Li Chengzhi's felt tent in the middle.
Gao Wenjun stared at all this in disbelief.
How long has it been?
From beginning to end, she never heard a single shout or order?
These soldiers all came spontaneously and gathered into formation in such a fast time?
This has clearly engraved the instinct of how to respond into the bones, and the reaction speed is even faster than the general's order...
How did he train these soldiers?
Before the shock and doubt were over, another roar was heard, as loud as muffled thunder, which actually suppressed the sound of the wind:
"Li Liang, lead Team A to form a spear formation and guard the Beisui Gate and the gap... Li Rui, lead Team B to prepare horses and be ready to break out at any time... Wei Shi, follow me on the wall..."
This is the voice of the young general...
Gao Wenjun looked closely and saw that Li Chengzhi had already rushed out of the felt tent and quickly ran towards the fuzzy ladder.
More than fifty guards followed closely behind, untying their bows and arrows as they walked toward the city wall.
Is there going to be a war?
Wei Yu's face turned pale and she grabbed Gao Wenjun's arm tightly: "Sister..."
"Don't panic!" Gao Wenjun smiled, his eyes full of determination, "You stay in the tent and don't go anywhere... I will help him defend the city..."
How can you not panic?
Wei Yu's eyes were filled with tears and her body began to tremble, but she finally gritted her teeth and nodded, then obediently got into the felt tent.
Gao Wenjun lifted up the skirt of his robe, tied it around his waist, and followed closely at the end of the team.
But before she even set foot on the fusillade, she was stopped.
A tall and strong soldier looked at her coldly with his sword scabbard: "Back off, you idlers!"
Gao Wenjun is not even a soldier. If Li Chengzhi doesn't let go, the guards will never let her go up the wall.
"I can draw a bow and shoot arrows..." Gao Wenjun shouted towards Li Chengzhi's back.
Li Chengzhi turned around subconsciously.
The folk customs of the Wei Dynasty were fierce, and there were many women who knew how to ride a horse, wield a sword, wield a spear, and shoot a bow and arrow.
It is not uncommon for people to even lead troops in battles, so Li Chengzhi is not surprised at all.
Furthermore, looking at those three knives, the knives never left the heart, and the stabs were precise and severe. He could also imagine that this woman was definitely not a good person.
But this is all secondary... Gao Wenjun didn't say anything and he couldn't remember it. He actually forgot to send someone to watch her?
There are still many secrets in the guard camp...
"Let her come up!" Li Chengzhi waved his hand slightly and looked towards the city again.
Isn’t it strange that the scouts on the fusui platform just hit the gong?
The cavalrymen, who were following one after another, were leading their horses against the wind, moving almost step by step, walking towards Suicheng from the northwest.
The nearest soldier was less than thirty feet tall. Li Chengzhi could even clearly see the braid of hair flying in the wind and the dark armor on his body.
Is this really the standard cavalry of the Hu people?
There are at least a thousand riders as far as the eye can see. God knows how many more are behind?
There is no need to guess. Within a hundred miles, there is only one Sui Pavilion at your feet that can accommodate hundreds to thousands of people to take shelter from the wind. These Huqi are definitely coming here...
Li Chengzhi is confused.
Didn’t Wuwei Commandery say that in the past ten days, most of the people he had seen were only about a hundred knights? Why did it come to his own turn that there were thousands of them?
What a hell...
He didn't even have time to think about where did so many Hu cavalry come from? Why did the Tuyuhun cavalry originally located south of the Qilian Mountains appear under the border wall hundreds of miles north?<
/p>
Li Chengzhi's mind is full of: How to escape?
Just looking at the current enemy force, it is already five times more than our own. With these few broken border walls and more than two hundred soldiers, it is impossible to defend it.
Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Great Wall has been in disrepair. It has been 300 years since then and has long been dilapidated. Regardless of the other places, only this Suiting Pavilion has a gap less than five miles on the east and west sides. Moreover, the walls on the north and south sides have collapsed.
More than one place.
It’s okay to use it to protect against wind, but how about using it to defend against enemies?
Just like telling a joke.
A slight delay will result in being surrounded on all sides, and once the cavalry loses mobility in the wild areas, they will be no different from pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
The only way to escape is now, but escaping is not that easy. We must come up with a foolproof strategy...
Li Chengzhi's eyes flashed, and he pulled over a guard and whispered: "Tell Li Rui to lead all the horses out of Dun Town as quickly as possible. As for the felt tents and the like, they can be moved out as much as they can...
...Also, ask Li Liang to come see me as soon as possible..."
The personal guard took the order and left, and Li Chengzhi roared again: "Don't show your head first, wait until the enemy cavalry gets closer, and then fire arrows after hearing the gong..."
Several soldiers responded in a low voice, telling their subordinates to hide.
Seeing more and more Hu Qi, Gao Wenjun's face turned pale, knowing that there was a high probability that he would not be spared today.
But for some reason, even though she knew she might die here, she wasn't very afraid.
Gao Wenjun took his messed up hair, put on his veil, and bowed to his father-in-law, Li Chengzhi: "I am also a martial artist, please give me a bow and a pot of arrows..." Li Chengzhi couldn't help but look sideways: Are you quite brave?
"Give it to her!" Li Chengzhi waved his hand to the bodyguard and said in a very depressed tone, "You are so outspoken!"
The iron mouth is broken directly?
Gao Wenjun changed his mind for a moment and realized what he meant was "Ji Fen is not good for guests".
That’s not how I understand it at all.
On the other hand, in comparison, these horsemen under the wall are the guests...
Gao Wenjun's eyes flashed: "It seems that the general really doesn't believe in astrology?"
I believe in a ghost!
A few minutes before the time travel, the old Taoist priest on Kongtong Mountain swore to himself that he was blessed with good fortune and a deep relationship, and that he would definitely have many children, all of whom would be talented people. He also said that he would live to be at least ninety years old. As a result, when I turned around, it was so over the top?
The more Li Chengzhi thought about it, the more he hated it: "A group of bison made up their noses to trick people into making money. Anyone who believes it is a fool..."
Hearing what he said was so funny, Gao Wenjun couldn't help it and laughed like a silver bell.
Li Chengzhi was surprised and couldn't help but look at her twice.
In this situation, can this woman still laugh?
Is that okay?
He stretched out his hand and pointed at Hu Qi, who was about to reach the bottom of the densely packed wall, and asked curiously: "Aren't you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!"
Gao Wenjun still had a smile on his face, and although his tone was light, he was unusually firm. His eyes were as clear as torches and shimmering:
"On the day I was taken captive, I swore an oath. If I were really taken captive to the Western Regions and my innocent body was stained, it would be better to die happily. In comparison, I could die in the Han Dynasty and keep my name and integrity.
Even if you die, you will have no regrets..."
Hearing her words so firmly, Li Chengzhi's heart moved.
Regardless of men or women, any individual can say such a thing, but it is better to live than to die. How many of them can really do it?
He suddenly thought of the scene when she first met Gao Wenjun, when she committed suicide just because of a body search.
What a strong woman...
Li Liang, who had just stepped onto the fuilin platform, looked helplessly at Li Chengzhi, who looked admired.
Langjun, Langjun, is she saying this to make you respect her?
Gao Wenjun was just flirting with the blind man, but Lang Jun didn't even hear the hidden meaning in her words.
How could a woman say something like "the honor is still there" to a man for no reason?
How could Li Chengzhi think of so much?
Even if I think about it, I’m afraid I’ll just smile bitterly.
Your life is almost gone, how can you find the mood to talk about romance?
Seeing Li Liang, Li Chengzhi pointed at Gao Wenjun: "Send someone to find a pair of armor for her... Well, find one for Wei Yu as well. In addition, give them deputy saddles to prevent them from falling off the horse when they ride in a hurry.
..."
Li Liang knew as soon as he heard this that Li Chengzhi had decided to break out.
Gao Wenjun and Wei Yu were given armor not for fighting, but for escaping...
Has the situation reached this point?
When he looked over, his scalp felt numb.
Before setting up the formation under the wall, Li Liang could not detect the real situation outside the wall flawlessly. Moreover, he could not see clearly even if he wanted to see it. He did not expect that there would be so many Hu Qi: the side wall to the north was densely covered with black spots.
, I’m afraid there are not one or two thousand riders?
As far as the eye can see, there are endless cavalry walking out of the wind and sand...
Li Liang finally knew why Lang Jun ordered Li Rui and the rest of his guards to withdraw from Duncheng immediately.
As long as the enemy's cavalry does not exceed a thousand, the more than two hundred cavalry can still fight through tactics such as surprise, strong armor, fast horses, and horse-returning arrows.
However, the difference in strength between the two sides has reached more than five times. Whether the equipment is complete and whether the tactics are novel are no longer the main factors that can affect the situation of the battle.
It's about whether the side with the few soldiers has the determination to sink the ship...
"The enemy cavalry was far away and facing the wind. They probably didn't hear the sound of the gong, otherwise they wouldn't have advanced here... Based on this, it can be inferred that no matter how many Hu cavalry there are, they will definitely come here to take shelter from the wind.
Instead of crossing the side wall in the strong wind...
Therefore, this is one of the few opportunities we are waiting for. Whether we can escape with our lives depends on now..."
Halfway through, Li Chengzhi's pupils shrank slightly: "You stay here for a while, and then I give you the order after I arrange it properly..."
Li Liang's face turned pale, and he even spoke fluently: "Lang...Lang Jun..."
Does Li Chengzhi need to arrange it himself, or can it be something else?
Thunder!
They were the same ones that Li Chengzhi buried in the camp during the previous confrontation with Liu Huiwang, preparing to surprise the rebels.
It was not used afterwards. After the situation calmed down, Li Chengzhi quietly dug it out and brought it to Biao.
When returning, Li Song was afraid that something might happen to him on the way, so he asked Li Chengzhi to take a few more pills, just in case.
Li Chengzhi also thought it was good to be just in case, and thought that if he didn't need it, he could just ask Li Liang to take it back with him when he returned.
But who would have thought that it would actually come in handy?
He still didn’t know what Li Liang wanted to say. Before he could say something like “Let’s go with the servant,” Li Chengzhi’s eyes widened and he asked coldly: “If it were you, would you be sure that I could withdraw safely?”
Duncheng?"
Just this sentence pushed Li Liang back.
Although Li Chengzhi had taught him how to use it, Li Liang had never practiced it. I didn’t say whether he could choose the right position, but what if he made a mistake and the mine exploded before Li Chengzhi could evacuate Duncheng?<
/p>
It means that before anyone can escape, the escape route has been cut off first!
Thinking about it this way, the one who cuts off is the most dangerous one...
Li Liang looked stunned and said guiltily: "I understand!"
"Listen to my order and withdraw as soon as I say. Don't delay..." Li Chengzhi muttered, "Order the whole battalion to put away their horns and replace them with copper whistles. At least they can spread the message farther..."
Li Liang responded respectfully.
Seeing Li Chengzhi turning around to leave, Gao Wenjun panicked for some reason: "General..."
But as soon as he shouted two words, he was blocked by Li Chengzhi. He said with a smile: "Didn't Ms. Gao want to kill the thief? It is most appropriate to stay here..."
As he said that, he winked at Li Liang again. Li Liang understood instantly and nodded knowingly, which meant that he would be optimistic about it.
Li Chengzhi has not been kicked in the head, is he talking about love at this time?
Of course, it was to keep Gao Wenjun in sight so that she could be easily monitored, so she was brought up to the wall.
Knowing that Li Chengzhi could not take her with him wherever he went, Gao Wenjun was still a little reluctant to let go. He thought that even if he died, it would be great if he could be closer to him and die together...
It's a pity that Li Chengzhi hasn't lived enough yet.
Not to mention living to over ninety as the old liar said, you should at least live to sixty or seventy, right?
Thinking about it again, Li Chengzhi felt so sad that he wanted to cry.
It’s my fault that I have to go to my grandma’s house...
"I haven't lived enough yet..."
Li Chengzhi muttered nervously, holding a thread reel in both hands, while stepping back and placing the fuse.
Two close guards followed closely behind, each holding an iron bowl, half-kneeling on the ground, and covering the lead wire with sand.
It's not that I'm afraid of being discovered, but I'm afraid of being trampled by a horse...
There are only four landmines, so it is no wonder how many enemies he wants to kill. Li Chengzhi’s purpose is just to scare away Hu Qi.
As for the effect... At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, also in Hexi, Ma Long used a few carts of magnets to frighten the tens of thousands of cavalrymen with the Bald Hair Tree function into defeat, let alone this kind of magical weapon that is indistinguishable from the divine thunder from the sky?
Li Chengzhi feels that 99% of the time it will succeed.
As long as this wave is frightened away and they don't dare to follow and pursue, the possibility of escaping is very high.
Even if you are unlucky, you may encounter the next wave, but as long as there are no enemies blocking the front and chasing troops behind, there is still no problem in getting rid of it with one horse and three cavalry...
When he thought of this, Li Chengzhi felt indescribably weird.
It was fine when we arrived. Let alone the standard cavalry, we didn't even encounter a few miscellaneous herdsmen along the way.
But when I went back, why did I get unexpected surprises one after another?
First there was Yuwen Yuanqing, and then there was Hu Qi who appeared out of nowhere. After escaping this wave, will he encounter something weird again?
