The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 628 The Rapidly Rising Wei Qing
"The first climber will be promoted to five ranks! A thousand gold rewards!"

The Great Han inherited the Qin system and is still the twentieth rank of military merit title.

Upgrading to five levels in one go, even under the premise that the big man deliberately devalued his title, is still a great improvement.

As for a thousand pieces of gold, one piece of gold is worth ten thousand yuan, and a thousand pieces of gold is worth 1000 million yuan!
A middle-class family here in Dahan only started with [-] yuan.

1000 million yuan, that's right, the kind of rich man, the kind with countless car girls pouring over from the house and yard.

Moreover, Li Yunze's rewards are all gold coins made in Zhongshan. This kind of gold coin is highly sought after and loved because of its large weight and exquisite workmanship.Its actual value is more than ten thousand dollars.

Faced with such a generous reward, the eyes of the soldiers of the Han army who attacked Shiling Pass were all red.

Isn't that why they hang out in the army!

Hundreds of armored soldiers of the Han army, holding a shield in one hand and a soldier in the other, rushed straight to the pass with red eyes and gritted teeth.

Shiling Pass is tens of miles away from Xiurong County in the north, and Yangqu County is out of the valley in the south.

The terrain is dangerous and the road is narrow, and a pass that is not very strong blocks the road between the steep mountains.

Shiling Pass is not very big, only about ten feet to the left and right, and the city wall is only about ten feet high.

There are only a few hundred Huns guarding here.

It's not that I don't want to leave more people to stick to it, but the environment here really can't accommodate more people.

The Huns on the city wall shot arrows desperately, and it was really rain of arrows like splashing water.

The Huns' bows and arrows are just as lethal. They may be useful when dealing with leather armor, but when facing armored soldiers, their greatest use is to shoot the soldiers who are rushing forward into hedgehogs.

A hedgehog whose armor is full of arrows.

Because of the tight schedule, there was no time to manufacture large siege equipment such as goose carts, rush carts, and columbine carts.

The soldiers of the Han army just stepped forward carrying a temporary ladder made of wood, and stood it up directly against the top of the city.

This ladder is not that cloud ladder.

The so-called ladder is a regular large-scale siege equipment.

Regular ladders have wheels on the base that can be pushed, and there are also anti-shields, winches, grapples and other appliances.

With a pulley lifting device, the ladder can be erected to lean against the city head, and the front end of the ladder is also equipped with claws that can hold the city wall so that it will not be overturned.

It's an intricately crafted precision instrument, basically akin to a fire truck in the modern world.

A ladder is nothing more than a climbing tool made of wood tied with a rope.

The Huns were very good on horseback, but they were blinded when defending and attacking the city.

Because there are no cities on the prairie, they naturally have no experience in this area.

Seeing that bows and arrows are useless to soldiers, these men on horseback who don't know what is called golden juice, what is called gray bottle, what is called stone rolling, and what is called Yasha, saw the ladder leaning against them. At that time, I also didn't know that at this time, I would use a fork to overturn the ladder used to climb the city.

It was precisely because Li Yunze knew this that he boldly used such a primitive and backward method to attack the city.

The bullying is because you don't understand!

It was the stones thrown down by the Xiongnu defenders in desperation that really caused damage to the soldiers of the Han army.

It's a pity that they woke up too late. The soldiers of the Han army were only smashed down by dozens of people, and the first ones jumped onto the top of the city.

The soldier who was the first to climb the city swung the bone in his hand vigorously, and smashed the head of the Hun in front of him directly.

Letting more than a dozen various weapons beckon to his armor, he gathered all his strength to hold the shield in front of his chest, and pushed forward to open the gap, fighting for positions for his companions behind him.

The soldiers behind him jumped onto the top of the wall one after another. The roars, curses, and screams echoed in the narrow valley, even Li Yunze, who was several miles away, could hear them clearly.

Li Yunze retracted his gaze, and turned his head to tell Master Yan, "This place is broken, quickly organize the people of Xiurong County to repair it. Send garrisons into the pass with the unit as a unit, and move forward to set up camp behind the pass."

After the master father Yan took the order and left, Li Yunze turned to the side and ordered to Gongsunhong, "Send an envoy to inform the former general quickly, and order him to urge the army to sweep and oppress the north, and force the Huns in Taiyuan County into the mountains!"

"Here."

Gongsun Hong was about to leave after receiving the order, but was stopped by Li Yunze, "Also, send envoys to tell the soldiers and horses around Taiyuan County, saying that the king has orders, and all the ministries will go forward to beat the Huns bravely. The king is not stingy with rewards!"

Rewarding this thing is too lethal.

The biggest reason why Xiang Yu lost to Liu Bang a hundred years ago was that Xiang Yu was bald with the big seal, and he was not willing to give the big guy a reward.

On Liu Bang's side, however, he appointed officials and made wishes, and he gave whatever he wanted, and even made many kings.

When Han Xin asked for the title of Marquis, Liu Bang directly made him king!

As a result, almost everyone, including Xiang Yu's generals, defected to Liu Bang's command.

No matter how fierce Xiang Yu is, even if he can beat 1 people alone, so what?
As a result, it was still divided into many parts.

Of course, later Liu Bang started to kill heroes to take back those titles, which was a routine operation.

As long as the rewards are in place, the Han army will definitely fight to the death without retreating.

The battle at Shiling Pass ended quickly, and most of the hundreds of Huns guarding the pass were killed. Only a few escaped on horseback and went south to Yangqu County.

The name of the soldier who climbed the top of the city first was Zhao Yi, who was from a county soldier in Zhongshan Kingdom.

He got the first achievement, but the price he paid for it was a broken arm.

Although wearing iron armor, when facing heavy weapons, it is inevitable to hurt muscles and bones.

Li Yunze fulfilled his promise on the spot, and raised Zhao Yi's title level from the upper rank of sergeant to five ranks in one go, to the rank of Duke of Doctor.

Immediately, a box filled with a thousand gold coins was sent to the wounded barracks along with Zhao Yi.

The rest of the meritorious service officers and soldiers received the same rewards.

And this is the foundation for the Han family to forge ahead and sweep the world.

In history, after Liu Zhi only respected Confucianism, he restricted the people's famous land and no longer allocated land to Chengding men.

Investigate the virtuous and upright (only recognize Confucianism), and reduce the promotion space for military meritorious personnel.

Martial arts masters are set up, and each level costs 17 yuan. Those who buy martial arts masters will have priority.

The people are restricted from carrying bows and crossbows, and the people have no way to familiarize themselves with ordnance before joining the army.

Since then, the military merit system has been severely damaged, and there have been fewer and fewer recruits.

As land annexation became more and more serious, there were fewer and fewer self-cultivating farmers, and their combat effectiveness was deteriorating.

The final result is to promote civil servants to rule the country, thus abolishing martial arts.

In the 200 years of the Western Han Dynasty, the seeds of its demise were actually planted from the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Before dark, Huyan and Lin, who were ordered by the Great Shanyu to come to reinforce, rushed there with more than a thousand cavalry leading the tribe.

Seeing the flag of the Han army fluttering on the Shiling Pass not far away, Hu Yan and Lin Yidao were furious and chopped off the head of a defeated soldier before him, "Why can't you hold on for a while longer, as long as you hold on for half a day, I'll be there! "

Although this person was arrogant, he never thought that he could take back such a steep pass with the help of cavalrymen who were exhausted from rushing and had no more than a thousand around him at this time.

"Set up camp and wait for the people behind to arrive before fighting."

Hu Yan and Lin forgot one thing, or he was too arrogant to ignore the ethics of not getting too close to the Han army.

When the Xiongnu reinforcements built the camp in a valley only a few miles away from Shiling Pass, all the people watching from the top of the city laughed.

"These Huns fought so well before, they dare to despise us so much."

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the army to attack the enemy camp at night!"

"Your Majesty, leave this matter to the last general."

In the eyes of the Han army, the Huns who are building camps a few miles away are swaying military exploits.

"Then go."

Li Yunze observed for a while, and quickly made a decision, "Choose three hundred brave fighters to break through the camp first, and then a thousand soldiers will accompany them."

"Here~~~"

The soldiers of the Han army with high morale all enthusiastically signed up.

Wei Qing also signed up, and was successfully selected as one of the thousand-man support team for the rear army.

Li Yunze didn't know about this, it was Wei Qing who was eager to fight.

In the previous battle in Mayi County, Wei Qing won the fifth rank while chasing with the army, and one of them was Qiequ from the Qiulin tribe.

After the war, he was rewarded for his meritorious service, and his title was promoted to Zan Niao, who could be the head of the village.

It's just that now that he's going to fight with the army, he can only remember first.

Wei Qing, who knows the taste by heart, was not on the wheel when he attacked Shiling Pass before. After all, he was a cavalry soldier.The desire for military exploits made him sign up for night raids again.

After learning about this, Li Yunze was stunned for a while and then smiled.

Your life is your own, and your path is your own choice.

Whether he can survive and stand out depends on his personal destiny.

The three hundred warriors were all elite infantry, stimulated by military exploits and rewards, they dared to sneak out of the pass in the dark, and swished towards the Huns' camp.

Li Yunze on the top of the wall silently looked at the dark valley in the distance with his arms folded.

Tonight is cloudy, and the moonlight is hidden behind the thick dark clouds, providing ample shelter for night raids.

Although many Han people defected to the Xiongnu, it is obvious that at least the tribe in front of them did not understand the essence of the Middle-earth War.

Not only was the secret chat post they sent out quickly discovered, but it was also easily dealt with by the Han army who came up.

In the barracks, there were many wind lanterns hung carelessly, and many bonfires were even lit, just like in the past on the grassland.

Such a conspicuous flame naturally provided the best guidance for the Han army.

Hu Yan and Lin also had no choice but to camp hastily and it was already dark. The warriors who marched all the way also needed food and water, and even the livestock needed to be fed.

If you don't light the fire, you can't do anything.

When the brave soldiers of the Han army suddenly pulled down a large section of the fence and rushed into the camp holding torches and shouting, Hu Yan and Lin, who were eating roast lamb legs, immediately cursed.

"Han'er is despicable! He doesn't dare to confront the warriors of the Huns head-on, but only dares to use this kind of sneak attack method, how despicable!"

This kind of impotent rage is naturally useless.

The gate of Shiling Pass was opened, and the Qianqi Rear Team, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, rushed out in mighty force, heading straight for the Huns' camp.

At this time, Li Yunze turned around and went down the wall, "My lord is going to rest, and I will tell you the specific results of the battle tomorrow."

All the staff and school lieutenants saluted together, "Respectfully send off the king~~~"
