Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 448
"Pang Xun?" Jiang Tian couldn't help but feel moved when he heard the name, and immediately looked at the other party's appearance carefully, and asked: "Could it be that General Pang Zhen is actually from Xuzhou, and he was a Long March athlete in his early years? "

"It turns out that the supervisor has already known about humble generals." The town general named Pang Xun has a thin body and thick hands and feet. He is young but has a weathered face, which sets off his capable temperament; Hearing this, he was a little surprised, and then respectful Smiled and said:

"..." Jiang Tian nodded and said in his heart that it was indeed this person; in another historical line, "Tang died in Huangchao, and the disaster was based in Guilin." It describes his story; but in this time and space, it seems that he is not Here's the chance.

"From Ningwu Town, I have brought two battalions of Guan and Jian, a total of [-] members, including [-] members of the Ma Army." Immediately afterwards, the town general named Pang Xun took the initiative to ask for instructions: "Next Please act according to what you want, and ask the supervisor for instructions?"

"In that case, General Pang Zhen, I hope you can understand one thing." Jiang Tian also came back to his senses and said to him seriously: "You are all older than the army; but to deal with these shady beasts, ghosts and monsters Different, my talent is the best."

"Understood, understood, understood!" Pang Xun didn't show any strangeness when he heard the words, but nodded again and again to confirm: "The officials are ordered by the Privy Council to come here, so they can only fully cooperate with the supervisor; .”

"There is no need for this, and I will not let you sacrifice and pay unconditionally. Just keep the basic orders and prohibitions." Jiang Tian shook his head and said: "Everything is to quell the disaster as soon as possible, and making contributions is secondary."

"So, I don't expect that as soon as you meet, you will be able to build up the trust of life and death;" Jiang Tian continued: "I don't expect that the official position and rank will be able to make you and yours. The subordinates will go through fire and water for it."

"Shangguan's words are serious." Pang Xun was also a little flattered, and responded with a faint panic: "Thank you, Shangguan, for being so confidant and clearly stating the pros and cons; but I don't know how to be humble, how can I make Shangguan feel at ease?"

"I just want to ensure a safe and sound rear." Jiang Tian then threw out the answer: "I will give you the command of the people gathered from most places; thus establish an effective Cut off the buffer zone.”

"Then, you, Shangguan?..." At this moment, Pang Xun suddenly understood something, and his expression became solemn: "Don't tell me you want to risk yourself, this is not possible, now that people from all walks of life are gathering here, you need to be in the middle Take command."

"You are wrong. As the founder of the Xijing Liyuan, I have led my troops to fight against aliens from the very beginning." Jiang Tian shook his head and said: "It was like this in the past, it is like this now, and the future will still be the same. will not change."

"So, since you have become my deputy, what you need to do now is to ensure that most of the other people will not be my drag. In terms of emotion and reason, they should not lose their lives in vain and lose their lives in fields that they are not good at. "

"Shangguan, please forgive me for being shameless." However, Pang Xun seemed to feel slighted when he heard the words, and his face flushed slightly: "You seem to underestimate the local sons and daughters too much; how can we be so greedy for life and afraid of death? the Cowardly Ones?"

"Of course I believe in your bravery and spirit of sacrifice, but I still can't agree with you." Jiang Tian said unmoved: "Because of your training and experience in fighting the enemy. You are all human beings, not those elusive and weird monsters." The beast ghost of the test."

"If it's on a flat ground where it's easy to gather a crowd to fight in an array, or in a fortress that you can rely on; I still believe that you have a place to fight. But in the mountains and forests where it is difficult to deploy a large number of troops and can only be searched in all directions, it is It's of no use."

"If you still insist on your own opinion, then I can only delay a little longer and ask the court to change the candidate." Jiang Tian said expressionlessly when he said this: "Because, I don't need someone who is eager for quick success and quick profit, and ignores the fate of subordinates." Deputy."

"That will not only harm others and myself, but also delay and destroy my overall plan and strategy; it will cause more unpredictable variables. I don't know that the failure of the previous three crusades is still in front of my eyes?..."

"What the Jianxian said is very true, I understand the humbleness." Hearing this, Pang Xun also took a deep breath and bowed his hands. After all, the country has been in peace for a long time, and there are not many opportunities to gain martial arts. Lost this opportunity: "Please also order."

"It's still the same sentence, I will hand over most of the local troops to you; around the edge of the mountain where the ghosts are found, set up more watchtowers, ditches, forts, horse repellents and barriers; establish a warning with a sufficient buffer distance lines and isolation zones."

"At the same time, you are allowed to organize several mobile teams to wait for the opportunity to encircle and suppress individual aliens who are fleeing places. If you feel that the manpower for construction operations is not enough, I can ask Xingyuan Mansion to mobilize more civilian labor to cooperate, and even provide the materials needed for a long-term blockade."

"Shangguan is really thoughtful, and the humble general is really far behind." Hearing this, Pang Xun felt a little helpless, but also sincerely praised: Although the probability of direct meritorious deeds is low, it is possible to meet this man. It is not a bad thing to have a very independent and responsible constitution.

"There is no need for extra compliments, as long as it turns into practical actions." Jiang Tian smiled again and said: "As the assistant's duty, you can put forward any opinions and suggestions; but once you make up your mind, you must implement it to the letter in the end."

"Otherwise, I will let anyone who dares to obey the law and violate the law and destroy the overall situation, know what is called the court's law, and there is a painful price that can make people live or die." Jiang Tian concluded with a sneer: "Don't say anything I won't give it."

In the midst of the words that are running side by side, the hastily built new fortifications in front of the fortress have already appeared in the field of vision; except for the military flag that is drooping and shaking slightly in the wind, there is almost no smoke and people on the whole. Voice.

It wasn't until the trumpet was blown several times that someone opened the thick wooden gate from the inside out; however, when Jiang Tian rode in under the front and rear embraced, he smelled a strong smell coming towards him. Like a mishmash of all kinds of rot and excrement.

And those defenders who were scattered among the strongholds were also under the arrival of a large number of foreign aid; those who had regained their vitality and spirit appeared from every corner one after another.It's just that most of them have uneven armor and messy beards and hair, and they are described as emaciated and scribbled.

Immediately, the soldiers in the stronghold were gathered on the spot, and there were actually more than 300 people; obviously during this period of time waiting for reinforcements, a lot of broken soldiers who were brought back from the mountains were gathered one after another; The proportion of wounded and sick occupies a large part.

Moreover, in the absence of medicine and treatment means, and the fact that they did not dare to go out easily to fetch water and firewood, and the corpses of people, livestock, and other kinds were buried on the spot, signs of plague appeared in the stronghold within a short period of time.And the Xundao Yushi was nowhere to be seen.

Afterwards, Jiang Tian was led to the Zhaibai, the upper floor of the largest temporary wooden building; in a simple room overlooking the audience; he saw the patrolling censor who was absent from reading outside.It's just that his current situation doesn't look good.

Even if the sun is shining outside and the temperature is the highest; he is curled up in the thick blanket and quilt, his eyes are closed and trembling; he also exudes a kind of wound ointment mixed with the rotten wound. breath.

However, according to the only surviving Captain You Xiaowei in the stronghold today, during this period of waiting for foreign aid, the inspector censor did not sit and wait for death; Several tentative counterattacks.

Although not a few beast ghosts were killed, a group of remaining soldiers who escaped from the mountain were gathered and collected.Therefore, he gradually increased his search range into the mountainous area step by step; as a result, something happened after the last time he entered the mountain.

Although after losing dozens of people, he successfully retreated before those strange beasts cut off the way back; but the patrolling censor was also scratched by the claws of the beasts in the chaotic battle; After returning, he fell into a poisonous fever.

However, Jiang Tian could confirm it simply by looking at the other party's condition; it was not so much heat poisoning as it was a systemic complication caused by wound infection without timely debridement and sterilization.Fortunately, there are no antibiotics in this world.

However, the sulfonamide used as the dye component, as well as the cinchona bark and the Artemisia annua extract of the tropical special medicine, were all under the intervention of the predecessors of the time traveler; they have been passed down to the world for many years.Therefore, as long as he is sent to the rear, there is still a chance to survive.

Therefore, after taking over the local guards, Jiang Tian ordered the expansion and renovation of the stronghold at this mountain pass; further deepened and widened the outer trenches, and increased the number of barriers, barriers, pits, and ground thorns. the scope and depth of
Multiple breast walls and earth barriers were laid out to facilitate the erection of firearms and crossbows; and a large area of ​​ground was re-planned behind the stronghold with an arrow space.Put up the demarcation stakes; line up the vehicles; form a larger temporary pool to accommodate the rear team.

As long as the follow-up labor and materials are delivered, the large-scale construction can be started immediately; and based on this, it will be established, extending to the east and west wings, and gradually building various sentry towers and arrow towers to form a cordon and buffer around the edge of the mountain. Area.

Finally, with the stacked tall trapezoidal earth platforms; under the combination of straw bags and rattan baskets filled with soil, simple artillery positions were formed one by one.And the big barrels of fierce oil, together with the projectors, were also brought in.

Therefore, Jiang Tian also secretly issued a special order to his deputy, Pang Xun; that is, when things come to an end, he is allowed to use these devices to set fire to the mountain; as an emergency measure against the enemy, and a special warning method.

Of course, if we really want to reach this point, it means that other means have failed, and we need a large army to press into a full-scale decisive battle.

However, in the simple wooden hall, when a group of generals were gathered to give orders; Jiang Tian suddenly seemed to have a sense, stretched out his hand and pulled out his saber and threw it upwards.All the generals present heard a scream above their heads, and a large cloud of liquid splashed down.
