More than 300 corpses piled up to a height of two or three meters. People who have not experienced killing might be frightened and at a loss when they see this scene. After Fang Xie entered the stockade, he ordered the corpses to be disposed of, as if he had no interest in the stockade itself. Not long after, Chen Qianshan took his men up the mountain, and when he entered the door, he saw that a soldier was intact and his face was full of disbelief.
There are more than 300 rebels, even with bare hands, they will not be able to kill them all in a short time. He guessed that the general must have led the masters around him to fight in person. He knew that Fang Xie was surrounded by a group of people with frightening cultivation levels, and ten strong men wearing the kind of solid armor he had never seen before.
Fang Jie was silent for a while, and beckoned Chen Xiaoru over.
"I'll give you a mission, something like a narrow escape."
Chen Xiaoru was startled, and pointed at Yan Kuang: "Can I give it to him?"
Yan Kuang leaned forward: "Give me, give me."
Fang Jie gave Chen Xiaoru a white look, and whispered a few words in his ear. After hearing this, Chen Xiaoru's face became more and more ugly. Looking at Fang Jie, he said aggrievedly, "My lord, you are wrong. Obviously this is a matter of ten deaths and no life, why do you say it is a life of nine deaths..."
Fang Jie patted Chen Xiaoru on the shoulder and said, "I can trust you!"
Chen Xiaoru said: "Are you letting me go with peace of mind?"
"roll."
Fang Jie scolded, Chen Xiaoru turned and left: "If I can't come back, please sir burn some beauties for me. There is a shop in the capital that is good at pasting paper figurines. The painter is very skilled. He has painted erotic palaces before. If my lord If you don't mind the trouble, just burn thirty-one for me, one a day..."
Fang Jie put his hand on the handle of the knife, and Chen Xiaoru turned around and ran away.
rebel camp
Yin Poshan stood in front of the map and frowned deeply. Although there had been no war these days, he was not at all relaxed. He couldn't trust Luo Yao. Although King Dingxi had been exchanging letters with Luo Yao a long time ago, and Luo Yao promised never to lead his army across the Yellow Niu River, the current situation does not seem to be optimistic.
He has more than 200,000 troops under his command, which used to make Yin Poshan so excited that he couldn't sleep. He was a general when he was in You Xiaowei, but he had only a few thousand soldiers under him. Li Yuanshan was promoted to the Dingxi King, and he was named a general and champion. He allocated so many people to him. At that time, Yin Poshan was full of energy and felt that he was so powerful that he could pierce the sky.
But now, the left midfielder is here.
More than 300,000 soldiers are simply not comparable to his soldiers. Luo Yao's left midfielder is well-trained and well-equipped. The weapons and equipment that each battalion should be equipped with are not bad, Wuhou chariot, bed crossbow, these big killers on the battlefield are all available. As for his own men, more than 200,000 horses, more than half of them are ordinary people who were brought in. The weapons in their hands are messy, and they don't even have a decent leather armor.
At the beginning, Li Yuanshan assigned the armor and weapons manufactured by the iron mine for many years, as well as the equipment snatched from the Northwest Palace, to the immediate soldiers, and none of them were assigned to his team. Facing the left midfielder, his former arrogance has long been suppressed under the soles of his feet.
Not long ago, someone entered the camp and stole the beauty from the Beiliao area, which made Yin Poshan furious. That woman was as beautiful as a fairy, just to get some armor and equipment, he resisted his desire and insisted on not touching her, and planned to offer it to Li Yuanshan in exchange for some supplies.
But it was stolen by someone without anyone noticing, and the theft seemed so magnificent among the 200,000 troops! Moreover, the one who stole was a large living person, which shows how fragile the camp defense is. In a rage, Yin Poshan beheaded all the soldiers who were on duty at the gate of the camp that day, and hung dozens of heads on the flagpoles for public display. First he sent a cavalry force of 500 men to chase after him. He felt resentful and led the troops to chase him out.
The results of it.
He watched helplessly as the dozen or so people on the other side carried the siege of more than a thousand people without any fear. Although the scale of that battle was small, hundreds of troops were lost, and a Zhechong battalion was frightened by the bed crossbow on the other side of the river before it fought much. He was annoyed at Luo Yao's back-and-forth, why wasn't he also annoyed at the enviable armor of the dozen or so Sui soldiers? So a dozen Sui soldiers were deliberately ordered to be captured. As a result, the brigade had just sealed the river when the Sui navy came again, firing thousands of arrows, and nearly a thousand people were lost!
Crushed!
How could such an army fight against the elite of the Sui Dynasty
The more he thought about this, the more angry he became. Luo Yao was not trustworthy, King Dingxi only reused members of the Li family, and all the good things were distributed to the team led by his brothers and nephews. Although the old subordinates seemed to be reused, the Seven Tigers made everyone a marquis, but The assigned team is a group of rabble.
The camp on the north bank of the Yellow River, what an important place!
Once Luo Yao really intends to go north, Yin Poshan doesn't think he is sure that he can stop him. Although Luo Yao wrote a letter later, telling him that the situation that day was really helpless, because the people trapped on the north bank of the river were imperial envoys, and it just so happened that the navy patrolled here again, and there was no excuse not to send troops. Yin Poshan didn't know the authenticity of Luo Yao's letter, so he sent people to beware of Hebei Daying, which was left forward.
Fortunately, after such a long time, the left forward seemed to have no intention of mobilizing troops.
His eyes stayed on the map, but his mind wasn't on it at all. At this moment, suddenly someone walked in quickly from outside: "General, there is an urgent military situation!"
Hearing these four words, Yin Poshan's heart tightened suddenly.
"explain!"
…
…
Cui Niu'er was once a soldier of Yin Poshan, a native of Shandong Taoist. His home is actually not far from Daying, that is, a day's walk. But since the army was stationed here, he hasn't been back once. The general said that since joining the army, one must look like a soldier. When a certain general led his army to march south, he was unable to enter his house three times. This is what a soldier should do.
Cui Niu'er didn't remember the name of the great general, but he remembered Yin Poshan's words. Soldiers must have the appearance and discipline of soldiers, and they cannot do whatever they want.
What he loved most since he was a child was the story about Li Xiao. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, Li Xiao led the Great Sui's hundred-war army to continuously conquer and expand the territory of the empire. This kind of story will always make every man who dreams of being a general excited, and Cui Niu'er is no exception.
Later, he also joined the army. Although his family was not a military household, when his father asked him what kind of career he wanted to choose, he sat in the room and thought about it for a whole day and night, and he still felt that he should go to the army. So he packed his things, bid farewell to his parents, and resolutely traveled thousands of miles to find You Xiaowei.
He was stopped by the guards and kicked several times. But he knew he couldn't give up, he had to let people see his sincerity. So he knelt down outside the camp gate and knelt for two days.
It just so happened that Yin Poshan came back from training with his troops and saw that he liked Cui Niuer's upright and honest character after questioning him, so he accepted him as a personal soldier. Yin Poshan told him that to be my personal soldier, he must always be ready to serve me and die. Cui Niu'er remembered this sentence, and the moment he put on the brand new You Xiaowei shirt, he danced excitedly.
He had been waiting for the day when Yin Poshan would block the rain of arrows and the sword of Changlong, but he never thought that what he was waiting for was a rebellion.
As for You Xiaowei, he did not stand on the court's side.
From that day on, he knew that his identity had changed. He once relied on his persistence to exchange for a military household registration for his family, so that his parents no longer had to pay taxes to the government. This used to be what he was most proud of, and the folks in the village always regarded him as a hero.
But in a blink of an eye, his identity changed.
From soldiers of the imperial court to rebels.
Cui Niu'er thought for a long time before turning this corner. He even wanted to take off his shirt and go home to farm. But his comrades told him that it was too late. If you take off your clothes, you will be a deserter. Do you know what happens to deserters? Not only will he die, but his family will also be hurt. Thinking of his parents, Cui Niu'er swallowed and took back his thoughts of going home.
He couldn't help but go to Yin Poshan and ask him what he is now
Unexpectedly, Yin Poshan didn't get angry and didn't let him be executed on the spot. Yin Poshan told him that a man should have a dream, no matter what your current status is, but has your dream changed? No! You want to be a general, and you want to honor your ancestors and return to your hometown. Isn't there a better chance now? As long as King Dingxi becomes the emperor, you will be a servant of the dragon, you will become a prince and general, and become a master.
Cui Niu'er's blood was boiling with Yin Poshan's words, he told himself that the general was right, am I still a soldier now? Isn't it still possible to become a general admired by everyone
But in the dead of night, Cui Niu'er always felt that what Yin Poshan said was wrong, but he racked his brains to think about it, but he couldn't figure out where the wrong thing was.
He knew that he was stupid if he hadn't read the book, so he simply stopped thinking about things he couldn't understand.
Now, he is already a fourth-rank general. Although among the rebels, there are as many fourth-rank generals as lackeys in the village.
He has a team of 3,600 people under him. In just two years, even he himself can't believe it's true. When the army went south, he specially asked for a few days off, took his own soldiers on tall horses, and returned to the village with many gifts. He wanted the villagers to see his majestic appearance, but for some reason, the village Many people either turned a blind eye to him or rolled their eyes. The old lady, who was already in her nineties, spat on him in front of everyone.
Cui Niu'er felt like he had escaped from the village like a thief, and he was in a mess.
His father said that you should not come back in the future. Our family can no longer hold our heads up in the village. If you come back again, someone will poke my spine and kill me directly. His mother just kept crying and couldn't speak. Cui Niu'er asked, Dad, isn't it right to get fame right away? I want to be a general, right? I don't think it's right to shine on the lintel? Is it wrong that I even want to start a family? His father was speechless, just let out a long sigh.
So Cui Niu'er didn't go home, in fact, the main reason was that he couldn't go back.
Cui Niu'er watched the team under him gather, and suddenly felt a little uneasy.
The battle is about to start again, this time the opponent is Luo Yao's left midfielder, known as the world's sharpest left midfielder.
But Cui Niu'er is not afraid, he feels that the dream he insisted on is right.
"Let's go!"
He waved his hand vigorously: "Fame is to be obtained immediately! Since you joined the army, you must have this ambition! I also started as a soldier, but now I have an iron armor on me! If you want to become a master, you must Trample the enemy under your feet! Trample until you are crushed! A good man is determined on the battlefield, and he who survives all battles is a hero among men!"
He shouted loudly, but found that the faces of the soldiers under him were all dazed.
He sighed in his heart, they are all people who have never read books, and they must not understand his profound words. Those words were said to him by Yin Poshan, and he memorized them verbatim.
He felt that it was sad that these soldiers did not understand his words, and he felt that he understood.
He straightened his iron helmet and gripped the horizontal knife at his waist.
"Lianyunzhai is lost, let's go and get it back! The general personally called us to fight, don't lose me!"
He shouted, cheering up the soldiers and himself.
You can't lose, you can't die!
He told himself in his heart, to be a master!
