Chapter 729 Frustration in the First Battle
Ning Yayun didn't seem to have much interest in viewing flowers. After defending Zhou Ning, she went back to realize the Tao.

"Headmaster Ning is a smart man." Han Ji touched him at some point, stroked his beard and looked at Ning Yayun's back in front of him, and said, "Actually, Mr. Lang doesn't need to care too much. You should know that after coming out of the Imperial College, metaphysics is actually no longer important. There is no other way to go.

If he is alienated from the lord and refuses to serve the lord, the lord only needs to put aside metaphysics, the world is so big, where can they be accommodated? "

"You're talking about interests." Yang Xuan felt that Han Ji was too vicious.

"The old man thinks that for metaphysics, it should use profit. Think about it, sir, metaphysics is the nature of idle clouds and wild cranes, but they are willing to stay in the Imperial College for many years. Why is that?
Isn't it because the DPRK provided their food and drink?Isn't it just that the court entrusted their children's official career?These are all benefits! "

"It's benefits, but I want to use love more."

Han Ji smiled and changed the subject, "The scouts came back earlier and said that Nangui City is strengthening the city."

"As for?"

"For the guard, as for!"

……

"Here, strengthen here!"

At night, Nangui City was still restless, He Song and De Chang took turns to supervise the civilians and strengthen the city.

"what!"

A peasant fell down while carrying soil on the top of the city, and broke his leg. The miserable howling made the tired peasants look sad.

He Song shouted: "It's Yang Gou who came here. Yang Gou is ferocious. Anyone who breaks down a city likes to kill people. He piles up human heads and corpses like a mountain and calls them Jingguan. If you don't want to be a corpse in Jingguan, hurry up!"

Seeing that the top of the city was being strengthened, De Chang said intoxicatedly: "Let Yang Gou meet here and bleed!"

He Song said: "The first emperor's imperial conquest failed, and Yang Gou took the lead on the left wing. This battle made him return in a defeat, which is no less than a great victory for Daliao. When the news is sent back to Ningxing, the whole Daliao will cheer for us. "

He glanced at De Chang, both of them had longing and ferocity in their eyes.

"Let him come!" De Chang clenched his fists tightly, "See how many lives he has to fill."

He Song chanted softly: "How happy it is to kill Yingye and make ten thousand households marquis!"

There was a long row of torches at the head of the city, and someone was looking at the Tang army camp in the distance.

"How dare they light a bonfire!"

After camping, under normal circumstances, no light is allowed. Even if you want to read some emergency documents, you must first ask for instructions.

In other words, after camping, you cannot leave information that allows the enemy to locate.

But there are many bright lights in the Tang army camp at the moment.

This is brazen provocation.

come!

Let's attack at night!

Don't come, you are my grandson!
"Stable, the lights of the Tang army camp are always on." A sergeant pointed in the direction of the camp angrily.

He Song walked over to take a look, and if it was true, his eyelids twitched, "Don't worry about it."

De Chang said: "Yang Gou is best at mobilizing his opponents, and he is a famous general, how could he make mistakes? There are probably pitfalls in this!"

"This is intentional!"

"Yes, I want to lure our army to attack! Then ambush."

"Bah! Wishful thinking!"

"Continue to repair!" He Chong shouted.

On the top of the city, there are crowds of people.

The torches were burning.

……

"Who lit the fire?"

Yang Xuan stood in front of a burnt tent with a pale face.

A few prisoners knelt on the side, and Suo Yun knelt on the side, "It's the villain who doesn't keep strict guard, please punish the deputy."

A prisoner raised his head, pointed to the prisoner beside him and said, "Deputy envoy, it's him."

The prisoner suddenly sneered, "This is Nangui City, which has been repaired for many years, and there are enough soldiers and food in the city. It's a pity that this fire did not burn the entire camp, otherwise..."

Yang Xuan waved his hand, "This man is killed. The people in the same tent will be included in the Death Battalion, and they will be the vanguard when attacking the city!"

Several prisoners in the same tent were grateful and kowtowed.

Yang Xuan turned around, Nan He said in a low voice: "Just watch over the general."

Yang Xuan said: "Sell him a loophole, but at night there is no need to rotate the guards, most of them rest, the scouts just go forward, and report when the enemy is attacking at night."

When the two armies are fighting, night attack is an important means.

If you defend the city, you have to be careful of being touched by your opponent; if you set up camp, you have to be careful of being attacked at night.

Therefore, at night, there will be drums and horns contending outside the camp for a while.

Yang Xuan slept well that night, when he woke up in the early morning, he said with some disappointment: "The guard seems very cautious."

What he didn't know was that now that he was so famous, he Song and De Chang, the guards of Nangui City, were so cautious that they didn't dare to leave the city at all. As for the idea of ​​sneak attack, they never came up at all.

The old thief came back with a dew all over his body.

"The gates of the city haven't been opened all night. I bet the old man that even if Mr. Lang is alone in the camp, the guards wouldn't dare to sneak attack."

Yang Xuan was dumbfounded.

In other words, the preparations for this night were all in vain.

"You have to adapt to your own identity." Ning Yayun reminded: "You are no longer that unknown person, but a famous general of the Tang Dynasty."

"You have to be self-confident?" Yang Xuan made a joke.

"Yes!" Ning Yayun also made a joke.

There is a city that can be defended, so why go to war?

This is the logic of Beiliao... Of course, it was not like this in the past. In the past, when the Northern Army rarely took the initiative to attack, whenever the Northern Army was found, the defenders of the Northern Liao would rush out with joy and reap their military exploits.

Now, the two sides turned around.

It hurts!
Seeing Tang Jun showing off his might in the city, He Song was heartbroken.

"They are coming." De Chang pointed to the front.

A large group of captives appeared.

They carried ladders, carried weapons, and had red faces... There was broth for breakfast, and there was no limit.

Many people know that this is their last meal, so they eat it openly.

Old pawns will not eat openly, because they know that eating too much will affect a person's reaction ability and ability to shoot.

In other words, eating too much will only make you die faster.

At the head of the city, there are many enemy troops.

The captives stood still.

At this moment everything is quiet, only the sound of the wind blowing the banner.

The world also froze, and everyone was looking at their opponents.

So is Zhao Yong.

He glanced at his subordinates, and beside him was the newly assigned Ren Da.At this moment, Ren Da was trembling and his face was flushed.

"Calm down, it's still early." Zhao Yong said.

Ren Da glanced at him, forced a smile and said, "Yes, the team is right."

Zhao Yong said: "Call me brother."

Ren Da pouted, but did not respond.

Zhao Yong smiled and glanced in the direction of the banner, his eyes were burning when he saw the figure under the banner.

He has done meritorious deeds, and it is said that the deputy envoy personally intervened in his deeds, but he suppressed the proposal to promote Zhao Yong.

Ren Da whispered: "Team leader, it is said that you could have been promoted to two ranks this time, but the deputy envoy suppressed you."

Zhao Yong said calmly: "The deputy envoy is doing this for my own good."

"is it?"

"Hmm! I'm convinced." Zhao Yong's eyes were a little fanatical, "If I'm promoted to brigade commander, but I've never commanded so many people, it will only cause bad things.

The deputy made his old man look like lightning, so he naturally knew this shortcoming.So, after hearing the news, I was ecstatic! "

Ren Da glanced at him, "Still excited?"

Zhao Yong nodded, "You don't understand, you can only walk steadily if you keep your feet on the ground step by step.

Look at the deputy envoy, he is a bad person who has just graduated from the official position, and has accumulated merits step by step to become a county lieutenant.

Later, the imperial concubine's help was not used, but Taiping came instead.

What was Taiping like back then?It's a sin city.

But the deputy envoy turned Taiping into today's Jiangnan outside the Great Wall step by step.

If the deputy envoy had worshiped under the pomegranate skirt of the noble concubine back then, and had flourished since then, would he be where he is today? "

Ren Da was silent.

"The road you walk, you have to walk steadily, and you have to go step by step. It seems a good thing for others to help you cross these few steps. But if you miss these few steps, God knows what will bring you in the future. .”

Ren Da was moved by this passage, "Captain, what you said is really good."

"My brother taught me."

"Brother? Where is he?"

Zhao Yong looked up at the sky, the sky was very blue, and a white cloud was motionless above it, like a pair of eyes.

"He's up there watching me."

The banner waved, "Second Commander, Ballista attack!"

Ballista in place.

"Fire arrows!"

blah blah blah!
A huge crossbow spear flew up to the top of the city, and amidst the howling sound, more than ten people were hit by arrows.

Morale is visibly dropping.

Yang Xuan glanced at the prison camp, "Let's begin!"

Suo Yun drew his saber, pointed at the head of the city, "Siege the city!"

The captives shuddered.

If you're full, it's time to die.

These captives who had dreamed of coming to northern Xinjiang to burn, kill and loot were now turned into cannon fodder for a full meal.

No one dared to stop, the ferocious Lan Jian led the supervisory team behind him, if he found anyone who stopped, he would be killed.

No one will pay attention to the life and death of a prisoner, and death is in vain.

But captives can make meritorious deeds, and they can use their merits in exchange for various benefits, from eating meat to clothes, to reduced sentences, to freedom...

One side is death, the other side is the temptation of life.

"Kill!"

The captives howling, followed behind the ladder, raising their shields...

"Fire arrows!"

Arrows rained down from the top of the city, and many of the running captives fell down.

"The crossbowman followed up." Yang Xuan nodded.

The crossbowmen followed closely behind.

After reaching the range, the general shouted: "Get ready..."

On the side of the banner, Hong Jia, Zhaowu's deputy lieutenant who commanded the Northern Frontier Army in this battle, said to his deputy Zhenwei Colonel Zeng Guang: "This method is not new."

Zeng Guang nodded, "The most powerful thing in the Tang Dynasty is the crossbow. It has been used for many years to suppress the archers at the top of the city when attacking the city."

Hong Jia glanced at Yang Xuan, "The deputy envoy is going to flood the city with the blood of the captives?"

Zeng Guang nodded, "Most likely."

Huang Chunhui's resignation and Liao Jin's succession, this is an order that makes the northern Xinjiang army obey... Liao Jin has defended northern Xinjiang for many years, and no one is unconvinced.

Originally according to Huang Chunhui's idea, Liao Jin took over Beijiang, and Yang Xuan worked as a deputy for several years.In the past few years, he has been able to get acquainted with the northern border and gradually win the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the northern border.

But the plan did not change quickly. Who would have expected that Liao Jin fell down after being assassinated, and Yang Xuan was forced to step up.

There are many soldiers in the northern border army, and Yang Xuan ordered to revise the drill code as soon as he came. This guy can be regarded as stabbing a hornet's nest, which has attracted countless backlashes.

Hong Jia and Zeng Guang are members of the swarm.

The two followed the expedition this time, and before they set off, their comrades in the army told them to let them see how the array of deputy envoys works.

The captives went up.

There is no way out if you go up, you have to fight your way out, or wait for death!

The captives howled and slashed at their opponents who were also from Beiliao.

Fighting with this brave breath, the captives opened a hole!
"Okay!" Suo Yun's eyes were red, and he drew his knife, "I'll go up and have a look!"

Lan Jian hurriedly stopped him, "Wait a little longer."

On the top of the city, the captives are expanding the breakthrough.

Yang Xuan saw it, and praised: "Sure enough, look back and remember the merit."

If you are not afraid of death, you will not die. This truth has been spread in the army for a long time.The truth is the truth, and it will never compare with the current battle example.

The captives, who were not afraid of death, opened the gap within a quarter of an hour after the start of the battle.

At the top of the city, He Song remained calm.

"How much has it come up?" he asked.

"More than three hundred!"

"Worse!"

"The bed crossbow is ready."

"Yes."

He Song glanced at the banner of the Northern Border Army. He hadn't used the bed crossbow, but was guarding against the dozens of men under Yang Xuan's command.

"Five hundred!"

Dechang's voice was a little excited.

He Song said lightly: "Let's start! Give Yang Gou a surprise!"

The flag waved, and the defenders on both sides suddenly gave up their defense in person, and rushed behind the prisoners at the breach.

This is to cut off their way back.

Their defense was loosened at once, and the captives rushed up in ecstasy.

The flag was waved, and hundreds of archers rushed up from the city.

The spearman is right behind.

He opened his bow and set his arrows, aiming at the ecstatic captives.

The general waved his hand indifferently, "Fire the arrow!"

Waves of arrows shot the oncoming captives into hedgehogs, and then spearmen rushed up from both sides, advancing row by row with long spears, and drove the remaining captives down.

And the captives at the breakthrough also encountered big trouble... The enemy army cut off their return from behind, and the captives in front fell down, stabbed to death with random guns, and hacked to death with random knives.

The remaining [-] people were under the siege of the defenders, and they didn't last long before the whole army was wiped out.

At the top of the city, quiet down.

The morale of the prisoners plummeted, despite the urging of the supervising team, they still climbed up slowly.

Seeing this scene, Nan He said to Yang Xuan: "Mr. Lang, this is a premeditated attack by the guard."

Yang Xuan nodded, "Courage is also a must! He Song seems to be cautious, but he set up a bold trap... I underestimated him! Withdrew and repaired!"

This is the first time Yang Xuan admits to being frustrated.

The opponent was neither He Lianrong nor Lin Ya, but an unknown general.

He sighed, "Don't underestimate the heroes of the world!"

This was what Han Ji was going to say, but was snatched away by the lord.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The captives retreated like a tidal wave as if they had been pardoned.

"The loss is more than seven hundred." Nan He came back from the front with a solemn expression.

This loss can be called heavy.

"I underestimated my opponent."

A mature protagonist must dare to bear the mistakes he has made.

I'm mature... Yang Xuan is a little unaccustomed to self-criticism, "Back to the camp."

What?
He Lianyan, the spy chief, said in disbelief, "Retreat?"

Isn't this just the beginning?

It doesn't look like a gentleman to retreat after 800 casualties!

"retreat!"

Yang Xuan smiled, "We'll come back when that good thing is built."

The Northern Xinjiang army retreated to the camp, and the city was full of cheers.

Dechang cupped his hands and said in admiration: "If the command is detailed and stable, Yang Gou will return home. This battle should be advertised as a history. Forgive me for taking the liberty to come and write."

As a deputy general, De Chang wrote a victory report, mainly praising He Song's record of defeating Yang Gou in the first battle.

After the failure of the first emperor's personal conquest, the entire Northern Liao Dynasty was shrouded in dark clouds.

This good news should boost the morale of the people.

This victory will make He Song the most beautiful boy in Daliao!
And Dechang will follow the chicken and dog to ascend to heaven.

His face was flushed with excitement, and he copied several copies of the victory report, and ordered several messengers to set off in batches... He was not afraid of being caught, and it happened to hit the morale of the northern Xinjiang army.

The city gate slowly closed.

He Song said: "Be careful!"

At the moment, Dechang admired the whole body, "Yes."

There was a smile in He Song's eyes, "However, we won the first battle, let's tell the city."

Not long after, cheers came from all over the city.

The Wu family is also among them... After the city was broken by Yang Xuan, the soldiers and civilians in the city said that it belonged to the widow Luoke.Gradually, the Wu family became an outlier in the city, people hated dogs.

Later, widow Luo's father simply moved to Nangui City with his family.

The widow Luo's father sighed to his wife, "Luo'er was taken away by Yang Gou last time, and I don't know what happened."

"Luo'er is beautiful, and she is probably still alive." His wife also sighed deeply.

"Many times, living is worse than dying!" Widow Luo's father looked sad.

The couple sighed, and then began to curse Yang Xuan.

However, a feeling of relief makes people happy.

After all, the Wu family didn't dare to try the abilities of the widow Luoke.

At the top of the city, He Song ordered people to prepare meals and prepared to reward the soldiers at noon.

The dechang went to check around and came back and said: "The morale of the soldiers is high."

He Song looked at the northern army camp in the distance, and said softly, "I'll be waiting for you!"

On the edge of a forest not far from the camp, hundreds of craftsmen are making things.

The leading old craftsman shouted: "Hurry up, the deputy envoy is still waiting!"

"Countless!"

Someone was cutting logs, and someone was trimming the wood with woodworking equipment.

The parts are built one by one and put on the cart.
