Chapter 11 Warm-up
On the vast snowy field more than 20 miles southeast of Bogulu City, Chen Ying saw wolf smoke coming from the northwest, and his heart was like a knife. A wave of wolf smoke rose, which meant that a group of ten Tang soldiers were killed.
For heroes who are fighting to dominate the world, a mere group of soldiers is insignificant. If necessary, not to mention a group, even ten, one hundred, or a thousand can be sacrificed. However, Chen Ying is not a politician or a hero who is fighting to dominate the world. He cannot remain indifferent.
"Du Shanguo!"
"There is the official!"
"Record, the Right Guard led the Battle of Bo Gulu, and first came to the battle to kill soldiers. The Right Guard led the mansion to Niu Jieshi, Du Shuangxi, Xun Erniu, Guo Liuzi, Qian Dayou, Zhao Mingfu, Cui Dayong, Li Yanxu, Li Guangzong, and Chen Yu were killed. They were awarded the fifth-transformed military merits, promoted to the third-level position, and were given the pension of the Renyong Captain!"
Du Shanguo stopped writing, looked up at Chen Ying, gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Chen, this is not in line with the control!"
Niu Jieshi and others were just soldiers, and the gang leader had no level. With a white body, he had three levels. If he was placed in later generations, he would be promoted from an ordinary person to an administrative department-level cadre. If he died due to his merits, he would be promoted to the deputy lieutenant of the accompanying Rong. He could be promoted directly to the Renyong Captain, which was an exception.
"Hmph!" Chen Ying looked at Du Shanguo coldly, showing a gaze that was like a sucker: "If you want to talk too much, the general manager will take care of it if something happens."
"How can military merits be granted privately!" Du Shanguo has little military merits and faces Chen Ying without showing any weakness: "It's hard to obey your fate!"
Chen Ying laughed furiously: "Okay, okay, very good, attack will be launched later, you will be the Captain of the Death!"
"Sir, obey the order!"
Chen Ying looked at Du Shanguo in surprise. He clearly wanted to use a knife to kill people, so that a civil servant would charge forward. No matter what the situation was, he would give him a handle. Chen Ying never expected that Du Shanguo would rather die than surrender.
Chen Ying was not in the mood to get entangled with Du Shanguo. He didn't know how to write, so he took the pen and paper and recorded it directly.
After the book was recorded, Wei Wenzhong reported: "General Chen, more than 8,000 Turkic people left Bogulu City. Should I set out?"
Chen Ying shook his head and said, "It's too early to order the scouts to closely monitor the movements of the Turks, and report every quarter of an hour, and there must be no mistakes."
...
In Hongshan Fort, when the corpse wall was built to more than four feet high, Luo Shixin suddenly saw the wolf smoke rising from the south. The fire platform of the peak was a military tradition of China for thousands of years. There are three types of wolf smoke: one is lonely smoke, the other is double smoke, and the three-colored wolf smoke. Lone smoke is also called Ping An Smoke, which is to report peace to the rear, and the double smoke is on guard, which is to warn the rear. When Wang Wei was on a mission, he saw wolf smoke reporting peace, so he wrote 'Lonely smoke in the desert', and the sun sets in the long river."
However, Chen Ying is too small compared to the fortress-style beacon tower, and there is no need to waste resources at all because of the sledge that does not have any defensive capabilities.
Chen Ying and Luo Shixin had already made an explanation, as long as the wolf smoke ignites, it means that the Turkic people's large troop attacks. Although the Turks killed the Tang army's whistle cavalry under Bogulu City, Luo Shixin's scouts were not just a few cavalry. When the wolf smoke rose into the air, there were already scouts who had already arrived close to reconnaissance.
Not long after, a scout with a few arrows stuck in his back came to report: "General Luo, a large number of Turkic cavalry in the south are attacking, and a few are seven or eight thousand cavalry!"
"Haha!" Luo Shixin smiled disapprovingly: "It came so quickly. Even if the Turks want to die early and reincarnate early, this general will definitely help them."
The soldiers burst into laughter, and the originally tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared. However, no one noticed the worry hidden between Luo Shixin's eyebrows and eyes.
The dull sound of horse hooves has already come from the south, and the sound of horse hooves trampling on the earth is like a roar of thunder. Look at this formation, the number of enemies is probably more than 8,000, or at least tens of thousands. Can you defend this Hongshan Fort with more than 2,000 troops in your hands?
Duan Zhigan held the horizontal knife on his waist, and said that he would be loyal to the emperor. He just waited for the city to break up, and he repayed his kindness with this passion and gained a reputation for loyalty for thousands of years...
Zhang Shigui said: "Cabinets must not be placed in the fort. Not to mention that Hongshan Fort is too small, even if it is large enough, the cavalry should be placed outside the city!"
Duan Zhigan said: "The one with the surname Duan is not a coward!"
Luo Shixin said: "General Duan, it depends on you whether Hongshan Fort can be defended!"
The Tang army of Hongshan Fort was divided into two before the Turks arrived. The minor and serious wounded soldiers of the Yue Cavalry had no time to transfer, so they followed Duan Zhigan in the fort, while Duan Zhigan was responsible for defending Hongshan Fort.
Duan Zhigan divided the forces of the three infantry regiments into three parts, one guarded the corpse wall outside Hongshan Fort, one acted as a reinforcement, and the last one guarded in Hongshan Fort.
Just as Duan Zhigan climbed the arrow tower on Hongshan Fort City, the Turks had already arrived.
At about five hundred steps away from Hongshan Fort, the Turks began to stop and continue their horsepower. When Shiliffs looked at the Tang cavalry in the distance and the infantry defending on Hongshan Fort, he felt disappointed. How many Tang cavalry standing in the wild was obvious at a glance. Hongshan Fort was amazing, and there were only a thousand Tang soldiers outside the fort.
Perhaps, this is the only reinforcements that the Tang Dynasty court could take! Li Tang suffered a huge loss in Xue Ju in Asamihara, losing nearly 100,000 troops. In such a short time, he would definitely not be able to recover.
Shiliffer was very dissatisfied with the conservatism of his brother Shibi Khan Dujishi. Now that Li Tang is weak, he should make a move to enter Chang'an and destroy Li Tang. Shiliffer admires the prosperity of Chang'an in Guanzhong, and also likes the petite and charming women of the Han people, and prefers silk and porcelain made by the Han people.
There were precious supplies and endless beauties in Guanzhong waiting for him to "collect", but Dujishi repeatedly ordered that the Turks would not fight directly with the Tang Dynasty.
Shiliver really didn't understand what was worth worrying about in the cowardly Tang Dynasty.
Duan Zhigan saw that the Turks did not attack directly, but instead breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better not to attack directly, and the chances of winning by dragging a point in the Tang army would be higher.
But when Shiliver saw the true appearance of the ice wall of Red Mountain Castle, Shiliver was furious.
It's really abominable that you dare to use the corpses of Turkic warriors to build a wall.
In fact, Shi Livershi never thought that every time the Turks broke into Li Tang's territory, they did more than this, than the Tang army's corpses as walls.
"Blessed by the God of Heaven!" Shilifshe slashed the scimitar in his hand, and more than two thousand Turkic cavalry rushed towards Hongshan Fort with a strange cry. They had no siege equipment, and even had no cloud ladders, and rushed over on horseback.
No one had ever fought against Duan Zhigan before, and he never thought that the Turks were so crazy.
However, Duan Zhigan did not know that this was actually the most common siege trick that the Turks used. The many cities defended by the Han people were frightened and surrendered automatically when they charged without any threat to the city walls.
However, this time, Shilivershi miscalculated. Others may be intimidated, but only Duan Zhigan will not be intimidated.
When he rushed to the wall of corpse that was only four feet high, Shiliver set up a whistle, and the Turkic cavalry pulled out the bow of the stubborn cavalry and shot it at the top of the city with a light arrow.
