Xue San used precious medicinal materials to make a soup stock and forcibly hung up the sword master's life.
Some of these medicinal materials were picked from the Tianduan Mountains. As the saying goes, people who depend on mountains and mountains depend on water. In the original foreign trade of Shengle, monsters and beasts were naturally extremely profitable, but some Tian The rare specialties of the Broken Mountain Range also account for a large share of them, especially some rare medicinal materials.
There are some medicinal materials that Xue San has never seen before, that is, they are unique to this world, so he tried them himself and confirmed the properties of the medicine.
In addition, when I went south to attack the Qian Kingdom and ransacked the Jin Palace, I also harvested a lot of these precious medicinal materials. It was painful to sell such things, so I simply kept them for my own use.
The "big tonic soup bath" that Xue San gave to the master at the beginning also contained many precious medicinal materials.
In this expedition, it is impossible not to bring these gadgets. To put it bluntly, if there is something wrong with the ordinary soldiers, they will not be able to carry it through. If a few demon kings including the Lord Whoever has a problem must be rescued at all costs.
Not to mention in this world, even in future generations, every time an epidemic disease appears, the rich and powerful can detect it first and treat it first.
This is reality.
The Juggernaut fits the "reality" standard very well.
After Xue San came out from his busy work, Zheng Fan immediately asked:
"How is the situation?"
Xue San looked solemn and said:< /p>
"The problem is very serious. The meridians in my body are broken and cracked. I feel that even if I survive this time and survive, I will be a disabled person and it will be difficult to take care of myself."
< p>"So serious?"General Zheng's heart was bleeding.
"Uh, but we are still saved." Xue San said.
"I understand this." Zheng Fan nodded.
The Sword Master still needs to be saved. Even if he becomes a useless person, his understanding of the sword is really rare in this world.
Not to mention that there is a natural sword embryo in Shengle City. Let the sword master continue to train it. Maybe ten years later, Zheng Fan will have another female sword master.
Let’s talk about this feat of forcibly breaking the mirror to open the second level.
Originally, even Liang Cheng felt that the Sword Master must definitely die,
But,
p>Damn it,
Who knows!
Zheng Fan suddenly discovered that in this world, Daxia Chen and the Sword Master were both considered the same kind of protagonists.
As a former comic book creator, he naturally knows what this kind of fate means, which means that no matter how miserable, depraved and unbearable he is at this time, there is no way he will suddenly rise again a few years later. .
It stands to reason that the Sword Master is now dead and the probability of his re-emergence is almost slim. However, Zheng Fan doesn’t mind waiting and is willing to wait. Anyway, the cost of abolishing the previous Sword Master is not high. sword afterHoly, the cost will naturally be smaller.
It’s really heartbreaking to have those thousand head-level battle achievements converted into silver.
But you still have to give it. It goes without saying that no matter how stingy General Zheng is, he will not default on paying his soldiers.
As for those who owe the peasants their wages, we only need to prevent them from causing trouble, but for those who owe these Qiu Ba, they have knives in their hands!
"Send two of your trustworthy subordinates and take good care of them."
"Don't worry, sir, I understand."
"Okay, I'm going to rest."
"Good night, Lord."
Zheng Fan didn't do anything today, he just ran away, but he was also scared. sweat.
There is no such thing as a bath, so I can only wash my face, light the fire pot, lie down next to it and fall asleep directly.
Zheng Fan fell asleep quickly because he felt much more at ease.
After the savages lost that Grimm, let’s see how they attack the city.
…………
As expected, the next three days were uneventful.
The Savages lost their coach and a general who knew how to siege the city. Both the morale and the tactics of the troops were severely affected.
In the past three days, Liang Cheng took the time to train those Jin slaves and let the old soldiers teach them some experience. He can only say that he should try to make them become more qualified cannon fodder as soon as possible.
To the north, from time to time, small groups of wildling cavalry would come from the snowfield to check the situation. It should be that some nearby tribes discovered that the snow customs was closed and had planted the black dragon flag of the Yan Kingdom, so they came here to inquire. The situation, however, did not appear to be an organized savage force.
Finally,
On the fourth day, the savage army from the south began to attack the city.
Grimu died,
the coach died,
lost the "professional" command of the siege,
all of this Nothing can stop the savages from attacking Snow Customs.
Because they have no other choice, they must defeat this snow customs.
Zheng Fan climbed onto the city wall early. Fan Li stood on the right side of Zheng Fan holding a shield, and A Ming stood on the left side of Zheng Fan.
Outside the city, the savage army was already in formation.
It can be seen that in these days, they have also built a lot of siege equipment, mostly ladders and battering rams. However, this battering ram looks a bit nondescript. It's like forcibly adding wheels to them.
There are quite a few savages, and from a visual perspective, they do put a lot of pressure on people.
But the savages probably haven’t come up with the movable towers and slightly higher-end siege equipment. First, they are short of time, second, they lack suitable craftsmen, and third, the nearby woods have already Being "strengthened and cleared", they had to go farther to cut down wood, which was extremely dangerous.greatly limits their efficiency.
Inside Xueguan, five artillery carriages are ready, and the soldiers on the city wall are also ready.
Because Xue Customs had been looted by savages, Zheng Fan did not receive enough equipment here. Fortunately, General Zheng was always willing to spend a lot of money to build his troops, especially in Before dispatching troops, there was a waiting period. At that time, all workshops inside and outside Shengle were shut down, and efforts were concentrated to replenish the ordnance of Shengle's army.
Furthermore, because the attack on Fengxin City was successful in seizing the gate, the equipment consumption was not only minimal, but also a large amount was seized. Therefore, there is no shortage of equipment for the time being in Xueguan.
Bows and arrows should be sufficient for the time being, but according to Liang Cheng's calculations, if the war lasts for a long time, agile soldiers will still be needed to go down at night to collect the arrows.
In addition, although Snow Customs is a pass, it is actually a city. Before the rise of the savages, because the power of the Situ family had long been pushed to the snowy plains, there had been no war in Snow Customs for a long time. , plus the developed trade, so there were originally a lot of buildings and people in this level.
The aboriginal people must have been robbed when the barrier was first broken, but the houses in the city were demolished and unloaded, and whatever was useful was piled forward.
During this process, some underground cellars and warehouses were also discovered. The savages were careless, and it may be that when they first broke through the Snow Customs, the savages were still "simple" and did not understand that the Jin people liked to hide things. He was in the habit of going to the cellar, so he didn't "clean" the place. This allowed Zheng Fan to get a lot of food supplements.
To sum up, the various supplies in the city are not rich, but they are enough. Come on, let’s get started!
Zheng Fan silently took out a cigarette. Every time he went on an expedition, the blind man would prepare several extra boxes of cigarettes for him to take with him.
And I don’t know why, when I was working on a manuscript in my last life, two packs of cigarettes a day were not enough. But after waking up in this world and having cigarettes, I might only have one cigarette a day. When something happens, It was only when I was a child that I remembered to light one.
This city wall has a protruding "mouth" part. The purpose of this construction is that when the enemy attacks the city, you can have two more walls to attack the enemy.
At this time, Zheng Fan was standing at the forefront of this "mouth".
Looking up and looking at the sky, Zheng Fan smoked silently.
Waiting for a cigarette to finish,
There were also new movements on the savage side. Groups of refugees were driven to the front, carrying very simple ladders. Most people only held spears sharpened with wood in their hands, and a very few people held knives.
They were driven towards the city wall in groups. There was no moat to the south of Xueguan, and Liang Cheng did not waste any effort digging trenches in the winter, but some spikes and spikes were still left behind. Caltrops are on the ground.
Many refugees in Shanxi don’t even have shoes, so they walk on them with bare feet, that feeling, and in this era of lack of medical treatment and medicine, the fatality rate of severe trauma in such extreme weather conditions is quite high.
When the refugees were approaching the city wall, Liang Cheng ordered them to be shot without hesitation.
Don't let them attack the city with ants, otherwise it will affect the city wall guards' ability to attack the savages who follow up.
There are mostly Jin people in this Shengle army, but you also have to look at where the Jin people are from.
The structure of the three Jin families has been formed for more than a century. Although they are collectively called Jin people by the outside world, in fact, they have been divided for a long time.
Most of the soldiers under Zheng Fan’s command were from the Helian family and the Wenren family, or they were originally from the capital region. In short, the Helian family and the Situ family were Jin people on the border of Chengguo. There is no feeling of pity.
So,
They decisively carried out Liang Cheng's order and began to mercilessly shoot the refugees under the city wall.
The refugees have very poor organizational discipline and are generally used as cannon fodder. If the city they are attacking has a moat or trench, they are asked to carry soil on their backs to fill the holes. If there is not enough soil , then use their corpses to fill the pits, the same thing.
But after suffering a blow, the top was the Yan army who was shooting arrows at him mercilessly, and the back were the savages who were watching eagerly. Most of these refugees were squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, crying and shouting. die.
Liang Cheng ordered again to stop shooting arrows.
The arrows stopped;
The refugees looked around in confusion. No one dared to pick up the ladder and continue to try to climb the wall, but they did not dare to go back, just instinctively They gathered in the corner of the city wall.
No matter how much the savages in the distance yelled, cursed, and brandished knives, they were still far away anyway, and these refugees remained motionless.
They are not stupid. They know that if they have any abnormal actions or attempts, the superiors will definitely shoot them again. Everyone wants to survive, even if the hope is slim, even if they just die a little late. , most people will still choose to do this.
If you can live with it for just one more moment, live with it for as long as possible, even if you live like a zombie.
Zheng Fan cautiously stuck his head out and looked down, and unexpectedly saw a female refugee huddled in the corner, breastfeeding the child in her arms.
I don’t know if she can still express milk after being captured and driven so far by savages.
However, Zheng Fan also knew that this was not the time to be merciful. The Sword Master was lying there eating vegetables. If he were here, he would probably find a way to go downstairs and rescue the child.
Oh,
I can’t do anything about my overwhelming sense of justice,
it’s quite easy.
Over there,
Seeing that the Jin people they had finally captured were lying down, the savages began to allocate their forces to attack the city.
It’s just that he looks like a savage, but in fact he has the face of a Jin person., but they were wearing armor and had good weapons. The soldiers in the front row held shields, the soldiers in the back row carried ladders, and the ones behind them pushed siege rams.
Then the battering ram walked halfway. Before Sheng Lejun on the city wall could shoot an arrow, the wheels spread out on their own. In the end, two rows of people could only rely on two rows of people to carry the big log and continue to move forward.
If I had known this was going to happen, why would I take off my pants and fart?
“My Lord, there have been two absurdities in the savages’ attack on the city. One is that when there is no moat trench outside my southern city wall, they forcefully drove these slaves who were finally captured. In fact, there is no use at all in siege. The small amount of arrows consumed is actually negligible.
If the subordinates were on the opposite side, since these slaves were captured with great difficulty, I will let them be responsible for the logistics of the military camp, felling, construction, etc. There are places where people are needed.
If they leave the slaves under the city gate and wall, they will give them more. They caused great trouble when they attacked the city with their main force. After all, there was so much space under the city wall."
In ancient times, it was common for the number of civilians to be more than twice that of the regular army, so there were many. At that time, those armies that were often called 400,000 to 800,000 people basically included the logistics and civilians.
"Actually..." Liang Cheng hesitated and continued: "They are used to marching with cattle and sheep to make war supplies, but it is obvious that after entering the customs this time, They only focused on plundering and moving things to their homes, and plundered everything they needed from Jin.
Furthermore, from the time when the barbarians entered the country and the war swept through most of the country, in fact, the spring plowing and autumn harvest in these places were reduced. It was basically delayed, so at this point, even if the savages wanted to rob, it would be difficult to get enough supplies from nearby.
Xue Customs Fangyuan, after all, they were the ones who came in in the first place. The place where the plundering is the most intense, the savages should be running out of food soon."
"So, you mean, these slaves can..."
p>Liang Cheng acquiesced.
"Do you want to be so harsh?"
I know you are a zombie, and I know you and A Ming are good friends. Let's drink some red wine together to cultivate our sentiments. But there is no need to say it so directly.
"My subordinate is wrong."
"You continue to speak, I will listen."
General Zheng was just making up for the lesson.
“The second mistake made by the savages is that, Lord, you see, their main attack direction is actually the city wall where we are now.”
That’s it. The upper part of the word "convex".
“However, in a real siege, the success rate of directly attacking the city gate and trying to break in from here is very low, because any defender will conduct the most rigorous security on the city gate. Defense."
"But I don't see much arrangement under the city gate..."
Zheng FanmingBai Bai, nodded and said:
"Do you want them to break through this city gate on purpose?"
"It's not intentional. I can only say that if you can defend it, defend it." If they don’t stay, let’s just let them break through the first door.”
There are no stairs leading to the city wall in the upper half of the area with the word “convex”, so if the savages break through. If you rush in happily at the city gate here, you will find that what is waiting for them will be another stronger city gate. At the same time, the soldiers of the Shengle Army on the four walls will shoot them from the inside without blind spots, while the rushing The savages who came in could only squeeze together and wait passively to die.
"This is really an old sow wearing a bra, one set after another."
General Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
"My lord, my subordinates have just discovered the third mistake. Now the savages have begun to attack the city. I will escort my lord back to the rear city wall first. Let's talk as we walk."
< p>"Okay."General Zheng follows the good deeds.
When the two men withdrew and the city wall broke away from the front line of the battlefield,
Liang Cheng continued:
"My lord, I see this first wave of siege troops. The appearance of the barbarian army is the same as that of Jin people. The subordinates guessed that they should be soldiers and horses under Grimu's command.
Since Grimu was born in Jin Dynasty, his subordinates were regarded as Jin people. It is only natural that the soldiers should be reduced to the main force.
Now that Grimu is dead, those barbarians will directly let the soldiers and horses under Grimu's original command take the lead. It should be right to attack the city. Someone has to make a plan first.
But that was when Grimu himself was still alive. Grimu was already dead now. Driving them out in such a grand manner to make the first batch of consumables for the siege will easily lead to the rebellious mood of these Jin people. Not only will their morale be greatly reduced during the siege, but also later, if we plan to carry out another night attack, You can use the camp where the Jin people surrender to open it."
"Get ready, release!"
Xue San is directing his men to release the stone eggs.
Actually, the lethality of this thing is also limited. After all, it is difficult to get explosive shells. Originally, the purpose of the artillery carts used by the defenders was to smash the towers of the siege or to destroy the city. It's for the siege's artillery carriage, but not for the barbarians on the opposite side.
However, while attacking the city, you have to worry about "meteorites" landing overhead from time to time. This is a huge blow to the morale of the attacking party.
"So, our city can be defended without any problem?"
"Thanks to the Sword Master killing Grimu that day."< /p>
Without one Grimu, the savages lost one of their most prestigious commanders. After all, although Grimu was from Jin, he was the first direct descendant to devote all his property to follow the Savage King, and he was also the most respected among the savages. Someone who is good at siege.
In fact, what Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng didn’t know was that the savages had previously successively attacked the Situ family’s two towers on the snowy field.The city finally broke through Xueguan. Although the two brothers Situ Yi led the party and acted as internal responders, the front battlefield, especially in the siege battle, the command of Grimu was given to the successful team defending the city. Under great pressure, this created an opportunity for the two brothers Situ Yi to cooperate internally and externally.
At the same time, the Jin army under Grimu, who knew best about siege warfare, also fell into low morale.
"Basically, the problem is not big, unless the Savage King dispatches a general from the front line and all the elites from his direct line to integrate here and re-attack the city."
Hearing this "Unless ", Zheng Fan smiled.
Obviously,
rao is a "gou" like General Zheng,
they don't care much about this "unless".
On the front line of the river, the person facing the Savage King is no longer the eldest prince of the past, but the Marquis of Jingnan!
You go ahead and draw the generals and elites back to attack the city. Do you dare to face the Marquis of Jingnan?
As the "disciple" of Marquis Jingnan,
Zheng Fan is quite convinced of Marquis Jingnan's ability to use troops. In addition, under Marquis Jingnan, the Jingnan army and The total Zhenbei army numbered more than 80,000, not counting the other local armies of Yan State and the army of Cheng State.
General Zheng really dared to use the combination of Yi Yang Finger and Lion Roar Kung Fu to shout arrogantly to the Savage King:
Come here, come here!
After escorting Zheng Fan back to the back wall, Liang Cheng looked at the situation in front and said:
"It seems that it is very difficult for savages to break through our front door. ”
In his words,
There seems to be some regret that his design cannot be realized.
Zheng Fan leaned his back against the wall and stretched,
said:
"In other words, we are done here. Next, Let’s see how Marquis Jingnan defeats the barbarians in front of him.”
At the expense of a sword master,
In addition, I have more than 100 kilograms and ten thousand Shengle’s army to attack.< /p>
Snow Customs,
It’s nailed down.
Next, Tian Wujing,
It’s time to give you the pen.
......
Two flowers bloomed;
The banks of Wangjiang River have been very lively recently.
The Yan army was divided several times and made a posture of attacking in several positions;
The savages saw the tricks and made corresponding deployments to do so. respond.
However, the Yan people just set up formations and switched defenses. After so many days, they never tried a serious attack.
The Wangjiang River is clearly frozen, but the Yan people don’t seem to want to seize the opportunity to take advantage of the blessings brought by this change in weather.
The Savage side has always maintained the previous style, that is, how you mobilize the Yan army, I will respond accordingly, but at the same time, I have been retreating when the situation is not good. preparation, toAs for whether I really retreat and dare not fight with you, why don't you try?
So, with Wangjiang as the dividing line, the two sides combined hundreds of thousands of troops, like two civilian "masters" fighting each other, circling around and posing in various postures.
On the one hand, the white crane spreads its wings, while on the other hand, the mantis fists up,
On the one hand, the black tiger digs out its heart, and on the other hand, the eagle claws are ferocious,
In short,
He just didn't do any tricks, he just spun around in circles, whetting the appetite of the audience.
......
In the barbarian commander's tent,
The barbarian king looked at the latest intelligence from the rear that had just been sent,
Grimmu ,
Dead,
killed by the Sword Master of Jin.
The Savage King wanted to laugh.
He thought this was the funniest joke he had heard this year!
This is a battle between two armies, and you, Grimu, were actually killed in front of the battle by a master sent by them!
Fortunately,
The Savage King did not go crazy, nor did he laugh out loud.
He just glanced at Alai, who had just delivered the general information to him.
Ask:
"The messenger..."
Alai immediately said:
"King, I have executed "
The news of the fall of Xueguan in the rear is absolutely not allowed to spread among the army. If everyone knows that the way home is blocked by the Yan people, no matter how big or bright the star is, it will not be able to stabilize it. This turbulent military morale.
"King, do you want to send someone back..."
The Savage King shook his head and said:
"The person opposite us is the Yan "Ren Nanhou."
This is a real opponent.
"King, our cavalry has blocked all channels from the east. The Marquis of Nan, who is from Yan on the opposite side, probably doesn't know that the Snow Customs has..."
The Savage King stretched out his hand and touched his forehead,
sighed:
"I know."
"Huh?"
Ah Lai didn't know why.
"I said, I know."
"This..."
Of course I know that Wang, you know.
"Unless I don't know, I have actually known the news of the fall of Xuehaiguan for a long time, so I deliberately pretended that Xuehaiguan was unimpeded in front of the Yan army on the opposite side."
"Yes, King, so why..."
The Savage King gritted his teeth,
"Because I know, so all my subsequent responses will be I'm pretending, trying to deceive the Yan people on the other side, Nanhou, that I have nothing to do behind the scenes, and we can prepare to return to the snowfield at any time. It depends on whether you dare to cross the river and try it!
But...
The Yan Nanhou has been mobilizing troops on the other side of the river these days, and I have to mobilize troops accordingly.
This is like a clever lie, no matter how clever it is.If you do it too often, flaws will always be exposed.
After I learned about the fall of Snow Customs, all my responses had a layer of deliberateness.
Others may not be able to see anything.
But that Yan Nanhou..."
"He, will he see it? ”
The Savage King wiped his face hard with both hands,
Took a deep breath,
Shaked his head,
Tao:
“I don’t know. "
...
On the other side,
The commander of the Eastern Expedition Army.
Li Fusheng opened the curtain and walked in,
Kneel down on one knee and salute the Marquis of Jingnan:
"I will see the Marquis at the end of my life, but I don’t know that the Marquis will call me at the end..."
"Do you feel it? ? "
"Huh? ”
Li Fusheng doesn’t know why.
Straight mother-in-law, this question is so broad.
Li Fusheng misses the boy named Zheng. That boy will He speaks and understands people's hearts. If that boy were here, he should be able to answer this question.
"Do you feel it? "
Jingnan Marquis asked again.
Li Fusheng, who took pleasure in killing, could only bite the bullet and answer at this time:
"The last general is stupid. , I dare to ask Mr. Hou, what do you feel? "
Jingnan Hou smiled,
pointed to the east,
said:
"The rear of the barbarians should be Something went wrong. "
"Huh? ”
How do you feel this?
Master Hou, can you tell fortunes?
However, Li Fusheng did not dare to ask this question. In front of this white-haired Marquis, the murderous commander-in-chief of the Zhenbei Army really didn't dare to make any mistakes.
Although he had heard of the Jingnan Marquis family's uncle, It seems that he is a mysterious cultivator, so it is only natural that Marquis Jingnan has some skills in mystical cultivation, right?
But as a veteran on the battlefield, Li Fusheng would never believe the Marquis of Jingnan in front of him. Isn’t it nonsense to use fortune telling to fight a war?
Jingnan Hou didn’t seem to intend to explain.
He just stood up silently.
Said:
“ Beat the drum to gather the generals. ”
