please make me king

Chapter 356 General Li Xin
It is said that Li Xin led more than a thousand people all the way north to Zixia Pass, and he saw that the pass was full of purple Xia stones, which was very magnificent.When the morning light shines, it is radiant, as if the purple air is coming from the east.

Its terrain is steep with two towering mountains, and a bridge is only six feet wide and tight, showing the trend of "one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it".

Li Xin was leading the army for the first time, fearing that he might make mistakes, he hastily dispatched scouts into Baixing to investigate, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to cut wood and pick up stones to build the pass.

The scouts went deep into Baixing for more than ten miles, and saw two cliffs intertwined with each other, the sky was cloudy and the sun was cloudy, and when they looked up, they could only see a line of blue sky.The road is twists and turns. When you look up, you can’t see the exit, and when you look back, you can’t see the way. Pedestrians seem to be imprisoned by a stone wall, which is extremely dangerous.

The scouts searched for a long time, but there was no trace of officers and soldiers before returning.After receiving the report from the scouts, Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief, but ordered his soldiers to go out on alert, while the rest continued to build the fortress.

In a few days, the Guanzhai was built with wood and stone as the body, and Li Xin felt a little at ease.While continuing to order the soldiers to enter Lingchuan to investigate, they also ordered the soldiers to go out of the valley and build a warning point.

After being stationed for a long time without seeing any people, most of the soldiers were slack.Li Xin urged and urged many times, and the soldiers complained a lot.

Or said: "This is a place where birds don't shit. There are no people in the front and back, and only the neighing of animals in the morning and evening. It's easy for us to have a moment of leisure, but General Li can't see me waiting for leisure!"

Before Li Xin saw that Zhang Shun treated the group of people in a submissive manner, but he didn't expect it to be his turn, but he was a rascal in every possible way and refused to use his life.

He had no choice but to persuade him earnestly: "The general entrusted us with this place, and there must be no loss. In case of a surprise attack by officers and soldiers, let alone the general punishing us, I am afraid that we will lose our lives!"

"I can't wait for a few days of hard work. If no officers and soldiers come, it will be a good feeling. Just sit quietly for a few days, and it will be a great achievement. Why not do it?"

As a result, there are sensible people who can still be persuaded.Some bullied him when he was young and became even more unscrupulous.Li Xin had no other choice, in order not to betray Zhang Shun's trust, he had no choice but to make an example to others.

Although he couldn't bear it very much, he had to deal with several people by military law to suppress this slack wind.

After waiting like this for more than a month, but there was no movement of officers and soldiers in Lingchuan, Li Xin also thought that Zhang Shun's judgment was wrong, and he felt somewhat tired.

It wasn't until the officers and soldiers touched the warning point set up by the rebels in the valley that they were discovered by the rebels, even though an alarm was issued.

Li Xin's previous strict precautions and punishments still had some prestige in the hearts of these soldiers, but they were not so careless.

It was night, everyone heard the alarm, got up in a hurry, and took up their weapons and armor to defend.

In the valley, the terrain is steep and difficult for horses.Officers, soldiers and cavalry were unable to ride, so they had to dismount and fight on foot.

Because of the blocking of the mountains, the valley was pitch black.All the rebels subconsciously wanted to light the fire in order to find the enemy.As a result, Li Xin saw it and quickly stopped drinking.

The terrain here is dangerous, Li Xin's checkpoint happened to block the exit of Baixing, even if the officers and soldiers could not fly, why bother, it would be easy for the officers and soldiers to take advantage of.

The terrain in the valley is rugged, gravel and deep ditches make it difficult for officers and soldiers to march.If one was not careful, some officers and soldiers sprained their ankles, or fell into a deep ditch, making it difficult for them to walk.

Since the officers and soldiers couldn't figure out the movements of the rebels, they had no choice but to light their own torches and forcibly attack Li Xin's pass village after they took down the security point in the valley.

This time the officers and soldiers led the attack was Cao Bianjiao, Cao Wenzhao's nephew.It turned out that Cao Wenzhao was worried that the other generals would meet on a narrow road, and that they would not be able to win bravely without exerting all their strength.So he deliberately let his nephew act as the vanguard, and he commanded the army to follow.

At this time, although Cao Bianjiao's reputation was inferior to Cao Wenzhao's, his bravery was no worse than his uncle's.

After he took the order, he was wearing a black armor, and he sneaked into the guard point of the rebel army.

It's just that Cao Bianjiao really didn't expect that the rebel army had already prepared for it, and had already set up a guard post in the high and steep place.In order to prevent being discovered by the guard sentry, Cao Bianjiao had no choice but to lead his troops to touch it, and took down the sentry point in one fell swoop.

It's just that Li Xin has followed Zhang Shun for a long time, and he is quite organized. He has already set up two sentries, one bright and one dark.

When Cao Bianjiao touched the sentry whistle, the secret whistle discovered the actions of the officers and soldiers in time, and Dang even blew the agreed whistle to warn the rebels.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, Cao Bianjiao was not afraid, so he turned the sneak attack into a strong attack, and took down another secret post in just a moment.

At this time, Li Xin had already led the people to make preparations. Because the rebel army did not light the lights like the first bright whistle, Cao Bianjiao led the people in a dark light, making it difficult to walk.

Although Cao Bianjiao knew that if he lit the torch at this time, he would become the target of the enemy's concentrated fire, but if he didn't give up this attack, he could only do so.

The officers and soldiers lit the torches, and pointed out the enemy's direction to the rebels in the dark valley.

At the beginning, in order to strengthen the defensive ability, Li Xin specially asked Zhang Shun for some firearms such as small Francophones, three-eyed blunderbusses, and quick guns, which happened to come in handy this time.

In order to avoid being set fire by the officers and soldiers, Li Xin specially arranged for the soldiers to place the fire source in the dark and backlit place. Cao Bianjiao saw a little light from a distance, but he couldn't hit the soldiers near the fire source.

The rebels' counterattack was like shooting a target, and it was more accurate than the practice of shooting in the past.

However, Cao Bianjiao had no fear.The elite servants around him are all wearing double kai, invulnerable, and they are not afraid of shooting from such a powerful firearm.

Li Xin saw that the soldiers had fired several rounds, and the flames on the opposite side did not diminish, so he guessed that the opposite side should not have suffered much loss.In order to prevent wasting unnecessary ammunition, Li Xin had no choice but to order the soldiers to load the ammunition, wait for the order for the time being, and then shoot.

Not long after, Cao Bianjiao and others touched it.Because the pass built by Li Xin was more dangerous, Cao Bianjiao had to order his soldiers to throw iron hooks and ropes in order to climb up.

Li Xin ordered the soldiers to cut the ropes with big knives and axes, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to shoot at the city.Cao Bianjiao suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, this group of officers and soldiers are all servants supported by Cao Wenzhao with double pay, and they are not afraid of death.They resolutely resisted the attack of the rebel army and climbed up the city wall.

Although the number of officers and soldiers in this group is small, all of them are good fighters wearing double kai, and they often beat ten against one, killing the rebels retreating steadily.

Li Xin was about to lead the troops to fight in person, when he suddenly remembered Zhang Shun's evaluation of Chen Changliang at the beginning: the way to use soldiers lies in wisdom but not in strength, even if one can be used as ten, one can be used as a hundred, but it is no more than a family warrior, An Neng is "ten thousand people Enemy?

At this point, Li Xin took a closer look, and it turned out that the armor of the officers and soldiers was so strong that the rebels could not penetrate.

Li Xin came up with a plan, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to form a group of five, use spears, sticks and other objects to cross the officers and soldiers who rushed up, and push them down to the Guanzhai.

Although the officers and soldiers were elite, they were few in number, and soon they were surrounded by the rebels and pushed down the city wall with all kinds of long soldiers. No matter how thick his armor was, he would fall to his death faster.
