Chapter 228: Joining the Army and Entering Yanmen
"I am Yanmen guerrilla general Liu Chi. I heard that you killed a few Huns in the village today?" Seeing that Xia Pingan's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, the Zhao general's expression became gentler.
"Those Huns killed my fellow villagers, and I killed them, as it should be!"
"It's a matter of course, that's what it should be!" The general clapped his hands in praise and said in a hateful voice, "Those Huns are like jackals, ferocious and vicious. They invade our borders every month, kill the people of Zhao State, rape and plunder, and do everything. I
Waiting for men, how can we bear it and let those Huns bully the country and humiliate the people? Kill them all and slaughter them all. Protecting our family and country and protecting our neighbors is what we men should do!"
"The general is right!" Xia Ping'an agreed, "Only dead Huns are good Huns, and all living Huns should be killed!"
"Hahaha, that's good. I just heard from my subordinates that you once met a strange man in the mountains and learned excellent medical skills. In the Yanmen camp, there are often soldiers who were injured in battles with the Huns and were in urgent need of good medical treatment. I wonder if you can
You are willing to follow me to the Yanmen Camp. With your ability, why do you need to be a ranger? You can also stand out in the army and achieve something..."
"Excuse me, who is the commander of the Yanmen Pass military camp at this moment?"
Hearing Xia Ping'an ask this question, guerrilla general Liu Chi was a little surprised, but he still said, "I won't hide it from you. News has spread in Yanmen Camp in the past two days. Now the head coach of Yanmen Camp is about to be transferred."
Come on, the new commander-in-chief of Yanmen Camp is General Li Mu. General Li Mu once stationed in Yanmen to resist the Huns, but was later transferred by His Majesty. This is his second time stationed in Yanmen. General Li Mu loves his soldiers like his own son, and is most considerate of his soldiers.
, you are deeply loved by the lieutenants and officers in the army. If someone with your ability goes to Yanmen Camp, he will definitely be reused by the commander!"
The famous Warring States general Li Mu!
Sure enough!
Li Mu was the first famous general in Chinese history to defeat the Xiongnu.
Xia Ping'an suddenly felt enlightened.
Man from Yanzhao, this boundary bead is used to summon cavalry. As soon as he came out, he encountered the Huns who were burning, killing and looting at the border. Therefore, the highest task of this boundary bead is to kill the Xiongnu at the border and protect his family.
Defending the country.
Whether this world bead is perfectly integrated probably depends on your own contribution in it.
Xia Pingan understood it just after thinking about it in his mind.
This is the second time that Li Mu has been ordered to guard Yanmen. This time, it is also the beginning of Li Mu's name in history and the battle to become a god.
When Li Mu first garrisoned Yanmendai County, he studied the Hun cavalry tactics carefully. The Huns were all cavalry, and they came and went like the wind. They were skilled with bows and horses. When the Hun cavalry competed with Zhao's border troops, most of them were Zhao's border troops.
The army suffered a loss, and the Zhao border troops had almost no way to restrain the Huns' cavalry.
In view of the characteristics of the Hun cavalry, Li Mu once responded to the Hun cavalry's tactics and took the initiative to avoid the sharp edge of the Hun cavalry. In the eyes of others, he was a bit "cowardly".
——When the Xiongnu cavalry came, Li Mu asked the army to hold on to the camp pass and not attack. The Xiongnu cavalry attacked and plundered the border many times, but they could not pose any threat to the Zhao army.
On the other side, while avoiding the sharp attack of the Huns' cavalry, Li Mu was constantly improving the beacon warning system at the border and monitoring the movements of the Huns. At the same time, he insisted on rewarding the soldiers in the army, improving the food of the army sergeants, and slaughtering cattle and sheep every day to serve as soldiers.
At the same time, he also strengthened the training of sergeants and trained a large number of powerful archer cavalry for Zhao State, preparing to annihilate the Xiongnu.
In this way, the Huns' cavalry became more and more arrogant, thinking that Zhao's frontier troops were cowards. However, Zhao's frontier troops became stronger and stronger under Li Mu's training, and the situation gradually became favorable to Zhao...
It was just a joke between God and Li Mu. Li Mu was stationed in Yanmen for the first time and was still gathering strength to look for opportunities. Before he could make a contribution, King Zhao believed the slander and felt that Li Mu was too "cowardly" and undermined the country's prestige, so he directly killed him.
Li Mu withdrew, and replaced him with a brave and aggressive commander who came to Yanmen to confront the Huns cavalry head-on.
A few years after the arrival of the new commander, he lost consecutive battles with the Xiongnu. Not only did he lose troops and generals, it cost Zhao a lot of money, food and troops, but the situation in Yanmendai County did not change at all. The people were still suffering from the Xiongnu. King Zhao couldn't stand it anymore, and he felt
Li Mu was still reliable in the town. Although he was a little "cowardly", he could at least hold on to the situation. Only then did he go to great lengths to invite Li Mu out to guard Yanmendai County for the second time.
At this moment, since news has spread from the camp at Yanmen Pass, Li Mu must be on the way.
This information flashed through Xia Pingan's mind, and Xia Pingan directly said to the guerrilla general Liu Chi, "Thank you, General, for your appreciation. I am willing to serve in the army..."
"Hahaha, okay, okay, you can come back to Yanmen Camp with me later..."
"yes!"
…
This time, there were only a few hundred Huns cavalry who came out to burn, kill and plunder. When these few hundred Huns saw the more than 2,000 people led by Liu Chi, they knew they couldn't defeat them, so they fled directly. Liu Chi didn't get any credit, he just took them.
The Hun cavalry was just driven away.
Before the Huns led them away, they killed many people and robbed some women.
Because Xia Ping'an was injured, the guerrilla general Liu Chi allowed Xi Ping'an to take a chariot back to the camp when he returned to the camp.
Zhao's chariots were carriages pulled by horses. Each chariot had a driver and an archer or spearman.
In this era, tanks are a very popular "heavy weapon" in the military. How strong a country is depends on how many tanks it can assemble during a war.
If the battle were to take place on the plains, these hundreds or thousands of tanks rushing side by side would be a great deterrent to any flesh and blood body.
When returning to Yanmen Pass, the sun had already set. Looking at the nearby villages with fire smoke and women and old people crying and wailing everywhere, Xia Pingan felt uncomfortable. Such a side disaster would be harmful to the Chinese nation.
Generally speaking, it has never been cut off in almost all dynasties. The threat from the northern nomads to the Central Plains dynasty was too great.
In addition to Xia Ping'an, many young people from villages along the way followed Liu Chi back to Yanmen Camp to join the army and kill the enemy.
By nightfall, Xia Pingan had followed Liu Chi to Yanmen Pass.
Yanmen Pass in the night is like a giant beast lurking in the mountains, full of murderous intent.
At this moment, Yanmen Pass has been built and garrisoned by Zhao Guo for many years, and it is already quite large, and it is not very different from what later generations saw.
The terrain around Yanmen Pass is extremely dangerous. It is located in the valley pass of two mountains. The siege of Yanmen Pass was built along the mountains, with a circumference of almost five kilometers. The southern end of the city wall is connected to the east and west wings of the city wall, and to the north is along the
The ridge extends to the valley floor to encircle it. A city gate is built at the encirclement. There are also several large and small stone walls built outside the siege to act as a barrier.
After arriving at Yanmen Pass, Xia Ping'an understood why the local people called Yanmen Pass "Tieli Gate" because the gate of Yanmen Pass was covered with a thick layer of iron.
Just leaving a faint trace.
In the mountains surrounding Yanmen Pass, there are a series of watchtowers and beacon towers. There is a watchtower almost every 100 meters. In dangerous areas, Yanmen Pass also has forts, trenches and secret doors.
The east and west ends extend northward and are connected with the Great Wall built by King Wuling of Zhao.
Such a majestic pass, in this era, is known as the first pass in China, which is not an exaggeration at all.
The Huns in the north looked at such a magnificent pass and were blocked from going south. One can imagine the despair in their hearts.
Zhao's Yanmen Camp is located due north of Yanmen Pass, and to the southeast of the pass is the camp's school grounds. At this moment, there are nearly 80,000 or 90,000 Zhao soldiers stationed here.
As soon as they arrived at the camp, Liu Chi took Xia Pingan directly to a relatively independent camp area in the southwest of the camp.
The camp was lifeless and dark, and there was an aura of decay everywhere. As soon as he entered the camp, Xia Pingan could smell the thick smell of blood in the camp and the unique smell of pus and rot in human wounds. Of course,
, which was also mixed with the smell of some random medicinal herbs, and from time to time, low moans and wailing sounds came from the barracks on both sides.
"This is the wounded barracks. Those injured brothers are recuperating here..." Liu Chi looked tall and rough, but after arriving here, his face also became sad.
"How many people are taking care of the wounded soldiers in this sick camp?" Xia Pingan asked.
"The three wizards from the entire camp are here..."
There are only three sorcerers in the entire Yanmen Camp of Zhao State? Note that these sorcerers are not professional military doctors, but a collection of sorcerers and herbal doctors who are good at dancing...
Like the doctor Xia Pingan met in the village today, he was lucky. The doctor went to a nearby village to treat people. When he encountered the Xiongnu soldiers, he had to hide. After the Xiongnu soldiers left, he dared to show his face and participate.
Subsequent treatment of the injured in the village.
Xia Pingan asked Liu Chi to call the three sorcerers here. After asking, he found out what the sorcerers in the army used to treat wounded soldiers. It was very simple, just four words: scrape, saw, chisel, and pull out.
It is better to say that they are doctors than carpenters.
