Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 352 The real test
Chapter 54 The real test
The newly built Lingwu Bashi Town in Lingzhou, although it is called Zhenbao, is actually not a traditional Wubao, because the cost of building Wubao is too high, even with free labor and building materials, it is necessary to build a real Wubao. Wubao is not an easy task.At the beginning, Chen Ying did not think so much when he was stationed in Lingzhou.

Under Chen Ying's command, there are six Zhechong mansions of the Dingyuan Army and six cavalrymen of the Lingwu Army's Zhechong Mansions. Even if the Turks attack Lingzhou, they have to weigh the strength of these troops, let alone Liang Shidu.Passive defense has never been Chen Ying's habit. Chen Ying's habit is to replace defense with offense. Therefore, the defensive power of Lingwu Eighteen Towns is actually very poor.

There is a blue brick city wall on the outside and a blue brick wall on the inner layer. The width in the middle is no more than six feet, and the earth is filled and rammed to form the city wall of the town castle. .But preventing attacks is actually very difficult.Not to mention cloud ladders, even if you take a human ladder, you can easily climb in.

In the face of an army armed to the teeth, the defense that the town fort can play is actually limited.The reason why Chen should have built this fort at the beginning was to guard against Turkic rangers or small groups of troops. You must know that without this city wall, a ranger of only a hundred people could wipe out a town fort.

The only advantage is that this town has built a watchtower at the four corners.The enemy building, which is about three feet high, can provide a place for dozens of soldiers to rest at ordinary times.Also stored a lot of materials for defending the city.Of course, every town castle has a beacon tower, which can light a beacon or a bonfire when it is under attack, and pass between castles and call for support from Lingzhou City.

In the snowy night, when the No.17 town fort loomed, Liang Luoren's disgruntled Xin Liao'er said, "This village is not small, so I leave it to you. If you take down this village, all the food and women in it will belong to you!"

Xin Liaoer was originally from the Qiang people. In the last years of Daye, he took refuge in Liang Shidu, and was named Zhonglang General by Liang Shidu.The officials under Liang Shidu's command are actually rotten streets. In the Tang Dynasty, the Zhonglang general was a military officer of the fourth rank, and he was the commander of the sixteen guards.It is a high-ranking military position, but the Zhonglang General under Liang Shidu's command is just an official position between the General Pi and the school lieutenant. Although he commands a thousand people, he is only equivalent to a regiment-level officer in later generations.

Xin Liao'er's face, which was originally lifeless, immediately showed a green light when he heard this.

"really?"

"What are you doing to lie to you!"

Xin Liaoer said, "I hope to get some food."

Liang Luoren said: "That can't be done, the brothers have no food, and the food in the village must be distributed to me, but don't worry, your trilogy will be the first one, and when you are full, you will share it with others." .”

Xin Liaoer looked at the town castle flickering with candlelight, but did not speak.Obviously he was dissatisfied with Liang Luoren's distribution plan.

Liang Luoren waved his hands impatiently and said: "Forget it, take down the village, I will give you half of the food, and all the women and money will be yours!"

Only then did Xin Liaoer ecstatically run to the back to convey the order and prepare to attack.

Li Zhengbao looked at the back of Xin Liaoer going away, spat hard at Xin Liaoer's back, and said angrily: "It's cheap for this Qiang slave!"

"Cheap? Hmph!" Liang Luoren said coldly, "I'm afraid it's really hard to take advantage of this bargain!"

"Is this the broken village?" Li Zhengbao said disapprovingly, "I'll take it down to the general at most for a meal!"

"It's not a good habit to underestimate the enemy!" Liang Luoren pointed to the flickering candlelight in the enemy tower and said, "Our seven thousand and eight horses made such a big commotion, how can the village still not respond?"

Li Zhengbao was stunned.

Liang Luoren said with a smile: "Unless the village is full of dead people, this hard walnut can really break two teeth of this Qiang slave!"

Song Wusao watched a group of people rushing slowly under the city wall, and suddenly felt inexplicable. These enemies had no ladders, no shields, and even saved the movement of shooting arrows to suppress the city wall for cover.

"What are they doing?"

"It seems that they want to climb the wall!" Mu Xiuling said excitedly instead of being nervous.

"Our city wall is only one foot or two feet. Although it is short, do they really think we are dead?" Song Wusao looked at the Xiangyong hiding under the female wall, her face was full of excitement.

These men and women who have endured inhuman torture for several years or more than ten years in the hands of the Turkic people have long ceased to regard themselves as human beings. They feel that they are earning money if they can live for a day. Now they are finally living a good life, and they have some hope , Who wants to let them fight back to the past, unless stepping on their corpses.

The Qiang Tribe under Xin Liaoer's command began to run faster. Originally, he was also prepared to withstand three or four waves of arrow rain on the city wall, but unexpectedly, the city wall was still lonely, and no one could be seen .

"Perhaps, everyone in the village has run away, or they are fast asleep!" Xin Liaoer comforted himself.

However, when Xin Liaoer formed a group of ten people, kneeling on two sides and standing on two sides, forming a simple human ladder, with less than three feet left, they could jump up the city wall with one leap.

Just when No. 1 Qiang soldier touched the crenel of the city wall, the whole city wall suddenly came alive.Hundreds of men and women carrying wooden basins, barrels or iron pots stood up neatly and poured the pots in their hands not along the city wall on Xin Liaoer's body.

In the current weather, the breath is almost frozen, and the water poured on Xin Liaoer's body, which is climbing with ants, will not be sour.

It had turned into hot water that was slowly cooling down. At this time, thin-skinned jelly had begun to appear on the surface of the water, and the enemy soldiers who had just landed on the city wall began to freeze into ice immediately.

Although it was not as heart-wrenching as golden juice, it was not pleasant either.The soldiers, who were so cold and dazed, were splashed with cold water, and Xin Liao'er's trilogy of offensives collapsed before firing an arrow.

The two to three hundred people who were splashed by the water immediately lost their combat effectiveness. In such a cold weather, their whole bodies were soaked, and their vitality quickly disappeared along with their body temperature.

"Cold, cold, so fucking cold!" Xin Liao'er's hand was frozen unconscious in an instant, and the mace in his hand survived to be thrown in time, but even so, he still tore off a piece of flesh from the palm of his hand.

The formation in front was chaotic, and the soldiers screamed wildly. At this time, the defenders who were still laying down the wooden basins and barrels picked up hunting bows and shot the enemies below the city like hunting.Unlike usual hunting, this time their eyes were not animals, but living people.

Dozens of soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and others retreated without hesitation.However, the 300 people who served as human ladders under the city wall could not withdraw at all, they were frozen together with the city wall.

Those Xin Liaoer trilogy who were frozen under the city wall struggled desperately, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break free from the freezing force.

Mu Xiuling picked up a wooden arrow and shot it at the mourning soldiers under the city wall.Just when the arrow in her hand was about to be released, Mrs. Song stopped her: "Don't waste the arrow!"

Xin Liaoer was so angry that he lost two or three hundred people face to face.

But Liang Luoren and Li Zhengbao who were watching from behind looked at each other and smiled.Li Zhengbao was in front of Xin Liaoer, looking at Xin Liaoer contemptuously and said, "You wait and fight, yeah, I'll tell you how to fight!"

Hearing this, Xin Liaoer became even more furious.

He ran to the front of his trilogy and roared loudly. These Qiang soldiers took knives and slashed their faces with blood. These people formed another charge formation, but they were not completely helpless for Xin Liaoer's sake. He ordered the archers under his command to pour rain of arrows on the city wall.

For a time, arrows rained down like rain.The defenders on the city wall were too suppressed to raise their heads.

Song Wusao rushed to Xiangyong beside her and said, "Light the bonfire quickly, so that Mr. Yang can prepare early!"

The five soldiers on the beacon tower received the signal and hurriedly poured the fire oil into a large pot and lit it.The real function of the Fort of Eighteen Towns is actually to act as a beacon tower for Lingzhou City. When encountering enemy attacks, it uses beacon smoke to convey messages during the day, and uses bonfires as a signal at night.

Originally, when the fire oil burns, a lot of thick smoke will be emitted, and it is easy to extinguish.Chen used the distillation method and the local method to refine oil, and obtained the fierce fire oil that was as full as water. This kind of fierce fire oil, as long as it is ignited, can burn a flame of more than ten feet, which is the best way to transmit information at night.

As early as the No.17 Town Fort's bonfire was lit, No.16 Town Fort in the northeast immediately discovered the enemy's situation in the Seventeen Town Fort, and quickly lit the bonfire. Within half an hour, the enemy was discovered in Lingzhou City.

Recently, Yang Ze was worried that Liang Shidu or the Turkic people would take advantage of it, which made him a little nervous.Every night when he goes to bed, he sleeps extremely lightly.When hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, Yang Ze had already woken up.

He hurriedly put on his clothes, and at this moment a servant's voice sounded outside the door: "Your Majesty, the enemy is attacking!"

If the fist did not fall, it was when Yang Ze was most nervous, and when the fist came out, Yang Ze became calmer.Liang Shidu actually thought of a sneak attack, so the soldiers came to block, and the water came to the soil.

……

Whenever you underestimate the enemy, you will suffer a big loss.Just like Xin Liaoer, he didn't even look at No.17 Town Fort at first, thinking that such a village could be taken down without any effort, but after being poured with cold water by Song Wusao and shot with random arrows, Xin Liaoer Two 300 men were lost.

Xin Liaoer paid attention to No.17 Town Fort, but after setbacks, the morale of his trilogy was low.On the contrary, No.17 Zhenbao has shown momentum.

When Xin Liaoer climbed up the city wall again, Mrs. Song asked someone to throw down quicklime, and the whole town was filled with white dust. The soldiers who didn't know why subconsciously rubbed their eyes with their hands, so it was a tragedy, at least Hundreds of blind men were born in an instant.

At this time, even Xin Liaoer was tricked.Even if he wanted to fight, he was powerless.

The sky was gradually brightening, and the corpses scattered all over the city wall had been frozen into ice sculptures.On such crystal clear ice sculptures, each corpse showed a strange expression on its face.

Song Wusao looked at the soldiers of Liang Jun who were slowly forming up outside the city, her face became solemn.

Now comes the real test.
