Zhenwu Tianxia: Summon Yuwen Chengdu at the beginning

Chapter 107

Qinzhou border, Red River Fort.

Dali built a large fort on the northern border, usually a pier within three miles, a platform within ten miles, and a fort within a hundred miles. In addition, fortresses were also set up in strategic locations.

Red River Fort is a very ordinary fort, with thousands of soldiers and thousands of military families stationed in it.It's like a town.

Bai Qi traveled across mountains and rivers for more than a month, and he just arrived at Red River Fort today.

And the sincere Bo Limo he was looking for was in Xiangshan City in the northwest of Red River Fort, a hundred miles away from Red River Fort.

After arriving at Red River Fort, he planned to rest for a night before going to Xiangshan City.

Although most of the residents in the Red River Fort are soldiers and military members, there are also many passers-by who will stay in the fort, so there are inns, taverns, etc. in the fort.

Bai Qi stayed in the inn, exhausted all the way, and just fell into a deep sleep at night.

"The Tartars are coming!"

"Run!"

"It's flooded, put out the fire!"

……

In the middle of the night, Bai Qi was suddenly awakened by the noise. He got up and looked out the window. The houses at the northern end of the Red River Fort were in flames, screams of panic came from all around, and a large number of people poured out on the street.

Seeing this, Bai Qi didn't hesitate at all, quickly picked up his long sword, opened the window, and jumped down.

He originally wanted to lead the horse, but thinking that there seemed to be no chance to fight on horseback in the castle, he hurriedly ran towards the north wall.

Red River Fort is surrounded by city walls, the walls are two feet high, and there are moats outside the walls.

At this time, a large number of soldiers in the fort had rushed to the top of the wall, holding bows and crossbows, pointing directly at the outside of the city.

Although there was still chaos inside the city wall, the soldiers on the city wall were very calm.

Because of this situation they often encounter.

The nomadic peoples on the grasslands in the north of Dali are dominated by the Four Royal Courts, but the control of the tribes under the Four Royal Courts is very loose. Although many tribes belong to the Four Royal Courts in name, they are actually self-contained and independent.

Just like the Four Great Courts and the Dali Dynasty, the Four Great Courts are nominally Dali's vassal state, but they have always been independent, and sometimes even provoke Dali.

It's just that in the last dozen or so years, Da Li's army has been strong and strong, and the four great royal courts can only calm down, at least not daring to provoke them in the open.

However, the tribes under them would still frequently invade the Dali border, plundering supplies and women.

There is no way, the environment on the grassland is harsh, and many tribes cannot survive in the event of a cold winter. They can only ensure their own survival by plundering.

Faced with these Tartar cavalry who came and went like the wind on the grassland, the Dali frontier army was also very helpless.

The Tartars didn't fight them head-on at all, and used sneak attacks every time, making them hard to defend against.

In the chaos, Bai Qi went directly to the top of the city.

Several soldiers around glanced at him and ignored him.

In fact, it's not just Bai Qi, there are already many warriors holding weapons on the city wall, most of them are from passing caravans.

The border land is barren, but there are millions of troops stationed there, and the supplies are very poor, so many caravans will do business with the border troops.

This is also the reason why outsiders are accepted in the military fortress.

After all, sometimes the soldiers and military families in the fort have to rely on these caravans for food.

Standing on the city wall, Bai Qi glanced, and saw countless torches beating under the dark night, and dense figures rushed towards this side.

"Archery, archery!"

The flag officer next to him roared loudly.

Whoosh whoosh~~
A sharp arrow flew out across the night.

Suddenly, there were screams under the city wall.

However, what followed was a counterattack from the Tartars, and the dense rain of arrows came, causing a lot of casualties to the soldiers on the city wall.

In the case of a small number of troops, attacking the city at night seems a bit brainless.

But don't forget that warriors exist in this world. For warriors of rank four or above, a two-foot-high city wall is like a threshold, and they can jump onto the city wall with a little effort.

No, when Bai Qi was observing the situation, he heard someone shouting not far away: "There is a master coming to the city, stop him!"

"Hurry up, shield soldiers!"

huh huh huh~~
With heavy steps, accompanied by the sound of metal friction, they rushed towards the leaping figure.

Wearing iron armor and holding huge shields, they clustered together on the narrow city wall.

The best way to deal with high-grade warriors is the rain of arrows, but it is obviously impossible to release the rain of arrows in this case, so the frontier fortress is also equipped with a large number of shield soldiers. Above all, they can restrict the actions of high-grade warriors and prevent high-grade warriors from creating greater chaos.

Sure enough, surrounded by dozens of shield soldiers, the high-grade warrior was immediately forced to jump off the city wall.

But he didn't jump outside the city, but jumped directly into the city.

Seeing this, the soldiers on the city wall were filled with anger, but they did nothing.

With their strength, it is not easy to completely kill high-grade warriors. Compared with killing high-grade warriors, their most important task is to defend the city wall.

As long as the city wall is not broken, they can hold Red River Fort.

As for whether the high-grade warrior will kill the military family in the city, they don't care at all at this time.

Such is the cruelty of war, and death is just the most common thing.

Bai Qi glanced at the high-grade warriors who were causing chaos in the city, and jumped down from the city wall.

"Damn the thief!"

Bai Fei leaped towards him, and slashed out the long sword in his hand.

clang~~
A crisp voice sounded.

The Tazi warrior blocked Bai Qi's long sword with a knife.

This tartar's cultivation base is also at the seventh rank, and his strength is quite impressive, even in the face of Bai Qi, he is not weak at all.

But the people who came to intercept him were not only Bai Qi, but also many warriors from the caravan.

Although the warriors of these caravans are not soldiers, their individual strength is far superior to that of soldiers.

The Tartar warrior blocked Bai Qi's sneak attack, but was hit by a long knife.

Bai Qi glanced over and saw a bearded man, who looked at the tartar fiercely, slashing fiercely with one knife after another.

This desperate way of fighting forced the tartar back again and again.

How could Bai Qi let go of such a good opportunity, and quickly stabbed out with a sword.

The sword was like a rainbow, piercing directly through the shoulders of the Tartar warriors.

The bearded man slashed again, and directly chopped off the head of the Tartar warrior.

"Hahaha, damn Tartar!"

"Thank you, little brother!"

The bearded man laughed.

Bai Qi nodded slightly. It was obviously not the time to be polite. The two just looked at each other and rushed towards the other side.

Although the soldiers on the city wall tried their best to resist the Tartars, some escaped the net and boarded the city wall.

Bai Qi and the bearded man fought with swords and swords, and supported them everywhere.

At the same time, a general wearing iron armor and holding a long spear is also around to support.

The three met from time to time, and even joined forces to meet the enemy.

But there was not much communication from beginning to end.

In less than half an hour, they killed more than a dozen Tazi warriors who were not weak.

The dark night gradually brightened, and the situation outside the city gradually appeared in the eyes of everyone.

There were not many Tatars who attacked this time, there were probably more than a thousand people.

However, after a chaotic battle, nearly half of the Tartars were killed or injured.

Seeing that it was almost dawn, the Tartars outside the city seemed to have given up on continuing the attack and planned to retreat.

"Damn it, these Tartars really think that Lao Tzu's Red River Fort is easy to bully."

The general in iron armor stood on the city wall and looked at the Tartars outside the city who were about to retreat, and said angrily, "Why are you still standing there, come out of the city with me and kill them!"

The Dali frontier army is not a weak army, and there has never been a saying that they only take beatings and do not fight back.

This general is also a ruthless man. Although they defended Red River Fort this time, their casualties were not much worse than those of the Tartars outside the city.

"That's Guo Jin, the guerrilla general of Red River Fort!"

"This guy is a reckless man. As long as there is a battle, he will never rest."

The bearded man stood beside Bai Qi and said.

"I'm Bai Qi, I haven't asked Your Excellency for your name!" Bai Qi said.

"Hahaha, my name is Luo Jing, and my little brother calls me Lao Luo." Luo Jing smiled heartily.

He is the leader of the Shanhe caravan. As a caravan leader who walks on the border all year round, they are often attacked by Tartar cavalry.

But before facing the Tartars, they were very aggrieved, and sometimes they had to abandon their merchants and flee for their lives.

So Luo Jing hated the Tartars very much.

And this time when fighting Bai Qi, although the two met for the first time, they cooperated extremely tacitly.Luo Jing felt that killing was very enjoyable, so he was full of affection for Bai Qi.

"Brother Luo, do you want to go out of the city to fight?" Bai Qi suggested, pointing at the mounted soldiers.

"Oh, Brother Bai hasn't had enough yet?" Luo Jing said with some surprise.

"I'm going to Xiangshan City to join the army, I want to take this opportunity to make some military achievements!" Bai Qi said bluntly.

"Haha, okay, since brother wants to go, then I will accompany you to the end."

Luo Jing smiled heartily.

Afterwards, the two found horses, and followed the soldiers in Red River Castle to kill outside the city.

Guo Jin noticed the two, not only did not stop them, but instead grinned, his rough face was full of excitement.

He had been paying attention to Bai Qi and Luo Jing in the city just now. If it weren't for Bai Qi and Luo Jing's help, the Red River Fort would probably be breached by these tartars.

"Brothers, kill!"

Guo Jin roared excitedly.

However, three hundred cavalrymen chased and killed the Tartar cavalry in front.

……

Tianzhou City.

Zhenwusi yamen, in the study.

Qin Wei leaned on the soft bed, looking at the document in his hand.

As the Tianzhou Town Martial Arts Division is on the right track, Li Ru and Wen Su put forward many opinions on how to manage the Tianzhou Martial Arts Forces.

Heroes are forbidden by martial arts!
If you want warriors to stop breaking the ban, you can't just suppress them blindly.

As the saying goes, blocking is worse than sparse, and sparse is worse than guiding.

Qin Wei looked at the document in his hand, looked up at Wen Su, and said, "Is this what you thought of?"

"Returning to Your Highness, I feel that the struggle between warriors is nothing more than fame and fortune. In terms of profit distribution, I have no better way, but I still have some ideas about this reputation." Wen Su said.

Qin Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Ru.

Li Ru sat beside him, drinking tea with a smile.

"That's a good idea!"

"But there's still something missing!"

Qin Wei nodded slightly.

Wen Su's proposal is to create a list, so that Jianghu warriors have a way to gain fame.

Top of the list.

Promulgated by the Zhenwu Division, promulgated once a year and revised every quarter, there are a total of [-] under the Innate, ranked according to strength.

In this way, if Jianghu warriors want to gain fame in the future, they only need to get a high enough ranking on the list.

If you want to improve your ranking, then challenge the top players above.

Simple and fast.

The disadvantage is that it will cause some unnecessary disputes.

Qin Wei thought for a while and said, "We should explain the rules of the challenge, and we should go as far as advocating the competition."

"In addition, we are establishing a list of young talents, and the age limit is under 25 years old."

Although the establishment of the list will lead to some unnecessary disputes, it can consume the energy of some warriors, so as to prevent these warriors from being too energetic and causing trouble everywhere.

As for the challenge rules, Zhen Wusi can't restrict it, but he can advocate it.

"Your Highness is still considerate." Wen Su said.

Qin Wei smiled, and said again: "Go find some scholars who are good at writing novels, and let them write some novels about Jianghu and Wulin. The central idea is to be a hero and defend the country!"

"After the novel is written, find some storytellers and go to restaurants and teahouses to talk about the novel."

Wen Su was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

He didn't understand how Qin Wei's train of thought jumped from the list to the novel.

Seeing him like this, Qin Wei said helplessly: "Forget it, you can find a scholar first, and when you find it, bring it to the king."

Regardless of the prosperity of martial arts in this world, there are no martial arts novels in the folk. Instead, there are many ghost novels, and some novels that don't like to wear clothes. Well, this kind of novel is more popular.

The reason why Qin Wei wanted to find someone to write novels was to spread the idea of ​​"a great chivalrous man serves the country and the people".

Although the subject matter of novels is not liked by literati, it is the most widely spread among the people.

If it wasn't for Qin Wei being too lazy to write, he could have been a copywriter and copied all of Mr. Jin's books.

"Your officer obeys!" Wen Su responded.

Qin Wei waved his hand, indicating that they can go down.
