Lord Yuan

Chapter 136: Can’t we plunder aliens?
Outside the camp, the biting cold wind of early winter swept in. At this time, all the soldiers of Sima camp were hiding in the camp to keep warm.

This period coincided with the Little Ice Age, which was colder and bleak than normal times.

Only the sentries on the city wall who are on duty must remain vigilant at all times, even if they rub their hands back and forth and breathe out when they open their mouths. Sima Zhao Jian specially ordered that the more this period is, the more spirited and prepared they must be.

His credentials were also very simple. It was extremely cold inside the Great Wall, bone-chilling, let alone the aliens outside the Great Wall.

At this time, the north wind swept across, and the area where the foreign tribes lived became extremely cold. In order to obtain enough supplies for the winter, and to show off their muscles at the border of the Han army, these Xianbei and Wuhuan people would come at this time. Harassment.

As a member of the cavalry, Yuan Shao naturally did not have to act as a sentinel. He just wanted to see what structure the frontier fortress wall had, where it was easy to climb, and where it was easy to break through.

As soon as he got up, Yan Liang, who was always vigilant, was already sitting upright, while Yuan Shao laughed and hissed.

After a while, Wen Chou also woke up after a little reminder from Yan Liang. He had been trained by Yan Liang on equestrian skills during the day until late at night. He had been doing it over and over again in the past few days, and he was able to get on and off the horse independently, which was not as good as before. rusty.

After walking out of the camp gate and looking at the towering city wall, Yuan Shao walked straight up the stairs on one side without stopping.

Under the confused looks of several sentries, Yuan Shao explained that he couldn't sleep and wanted to climb up to take a look.

Seeing that he was not carrying any equipment, the sentry's eyes narrowed slightly and he nodded.

Yuan Shao walked along the city wall, looking down at the ground from time to time, which was 34 meters long.

"Can you two get down from this height?" Yuan Shao suddenly asked.

Yan Liang scratched his head, stretched his neck and lay on the side. After taking a look, he immediately shook his head and said: "Yuan Jun looks up to Yan. He is so high that even if the god falls, he will be broken into pieces."

Yuan Shao nodded and responded: "So, this road seems to be unworkable."

Yan Liang was even more confused: "Is Yuan Jun planning to cross over here? The outside is outside the Great Wall, and the foreign cavalry will arrive in an instant."

Wen Chou couldn't say anything, so he stuck his head out to try and shook his head.

Yuan Shao said nothing and just continued to move along the edge.

After walking for another half-quarter of an hour, Yuan Shao discovered an area that was somewhat flawed but little-known.

The lowest point of the city wall is only four or five meters high, and it is surrounded by desert as far as the eye can see. No one would choose to launch an attack in this flat area. For the archers on the city wall, this is Naked targets, aliens are not fools.

Moreover, a large river with a width of tens of meters was flowing below, only a few meters away from the city wall.

Perhaps because it was the cold winter season, the flow on the river was quite slow, and even the sections of the river close to the edge began to gradually become covered with a thin layer of ice.

This is not the coldest time of the night yet. If the time is delayed further, the river will be frozen sooner or later.

Wen Chou, who was still looking at the scenery outside, suddenly came to his senses and replied with some embarrassment: "I will be able to use it skillfully in a few days."

Yan Liang was a bit jealous and slapped Wen Chou from behind. Despite the continuous training these days, Wen Chou was still a bit rusty. He could ride well, but he was still a novice in defending against enemies. Since Yuan Jun asked, he must have His reason.

Yuan Shao was quite surprised. Learning to ride a horse is a troublesome task that requires endless practice. Even he himself took three or four years to reach the stage of proficient equestrian skills. Wen Chou could mount and dismount the horse in just a few days. , already very unexpected.

But if this is the case, Wen Chou may have no choice but to pull it off for the time being.

The north wind is howling and the cold is biting. The aliens will definitely choose to invade and plunder in the near future.

And this place is the closest distance to Changli County. As long as we can break through here, drive straight in, and then reach Changli County, it will be easy to capture.

Yuan Shao knew this very well.

Those aliens have very good noses, and they will definitely choose to focus on the offensive here.

The feeling of cold is not pleasant. As long as we can successfully break through here, the results we can obtain will far exceed those in other areas. Cotton, silk, and food are all in short supply.

There is basically no way for foreigners to obtain these things. The only way is to plunder the Han people to achieve their own goals. As for whether the Han people are dead or alive, it has nothing to do with them.

Similarly, in fact, the foreign tribes outside the Great Wall also gather together in twos and threes. When everything is growing, the foreign herdsmen will take out their livestock and pasture the fields on their only remaining grassland. This is also their The only source of meat, and the fur on those animals can also be used to protect against the cold.

When the war begins, these herdsmen will turn to take out offensive weapons, such as spears, spears, bows and arrows, etc. from their tents. In their eyes, this is something that every Xianbei, and even Wuhuan and others must learn.

As the saying goes, all the people are soldiers, and these aliens have truly applied this rule to themselves.Yuan Shao set his sights on these peacetime herdsmen. These people were not helpless civilians, and they had no sense of guilt when killing them.

Could it be that only foreigners were allowed to plunder the Han people, but the Han people could not plunder the foreigners?

But now, the only thing that needs to be worried is how to find the alien tribe outside the wall, and it must be a small tribe. If there are hundreds or even thousands of people, Yuan Shao doesn't think that he can do anything with his few people. An earth-shattering move.

He wanted to fire the first shot.

At this time, Xu Da, the commander-in-chief, discovered in the camp that neither Yuan Shao nor Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Yuan Shao were present. He frowned and walked out of the camp gate, looked at the sentry on the wall, and immediately went up the stairs at the edge of the wall.

The sentry learned that Yuan Shao and the others were walking along the city wall. Xu Da was unsure as to why they were taking a walk in the middle of the night.

But after thinking about it, he realized that these people were his subordinates after all. It was already dark and it would be bad if something happened, so he hurriedly searched for them along the city wall.

Just as it happened, Yuan Shao also planned to return to the camp. The investigation was completed today and laid the foundation for future operations. However, he did not expect that Xu Da was also walking towards him.

When several people met, Xu Da was the first to ask: "What are you doing here?" After saying that, he stretched out his head and looked outside. He was still peaceful and nothing had changed.

Yuan Shao didn't expect that he would come with him, so he immediately smiled and said: "It's nothing to do, let's take a look at the scenery."

Xu Da narrowed his eyes slightly, with no expression on his face.

It was obvious that he did not agree with Yuan Shao's outrageous remarks. Who would choose to watch the scenery late at night when the cold wind was like a slap in the face.

Yuan Shao frowned, and the two of them were silent for a long time. He was like a puppet playing with strings, and only his eyes were looking at Xu Da, the long man in front of him. He seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he drew a line. Give a playful smile.

"What do you think of the robbery?"

Xu Da was stunned for a moment and shook his head in disbelief: "Robbery is evil. I have never seen that group of bastards charge the border fortress, rob the common people, plunder property wantonly, and ride south. I guarantee you have seen it once. They will definitely hate those alien races to the core.”

Yuan Shao corrected the mistake in Xu Da's words, and said with a serious face: "Plundering is not an evil, it is all for survival, to be able to survive."

Xu Da was surprised. He hesitated for a long time before he recalled that the person in front of him was Chang Shi. Now he was just acting as an ordinary soldier to experience life. He seemed to have forgotten his status, and he kept using up and down. level tone.

But he still had some feelings about Yuan Shao's words, and then he said: "What Chang Shi said is true, but the aliens chose to plunder our Han people for their own survival. This move is a disgrace to us Han people. Evil is a sworn enemy, a blood feud, a hatred that has no room for turning around!"

Yuan Shao could clearly detect Xu Da's hatred when he mentioned the foreign race, which was evident in his words and the killing intent in his eyes.

He was very satisfied with Xu Da's performance.

Then he said rather mysteriously: "What if we rob foreigners?"

Xu Da's eyes widened in an instant, and he exclaimed in disbelief: "Why did Chang Shi say this? Could it be tonight."

He didn't finish his words. For him, who had never imagined this kind of thing, it was like a fantasy. Or it was the same for the soldiers on the entire frontier, but this was always regarded as a gatekeeper by the aliens. Respected based on ability, no matter how cruel such behavior is, for foreigners, it is like an addict after being addicted to alcohol. If he can't taste a drink, he will go crazy.

Even if it is to show off their power in front of the Han army, these foreigners will take advantage of the night or when they are not alert to invade the border, even if the benefits obtained are far less than the cost of sending thousands of troops. High consumption.

They will still choose to charge and plunder. This is like the genes engraved in the bones of the aliens, pure warlike genes. It just so happens that the Han army is in the shrinking stage at this time, which gives them even more confidence.

Yuan Shao straightened his body, nodded and said, "Do you have the courage to come with me and do the feat of plundering that foreign race?"

"I don't have much else, I just have a lot of courage!" Xu Da couldn't tolerate others saying he was timid, so he blurted out without thinking, and he regretted it after he said it.

The little people in my head are colliding with each other.

Why is this long history so bold?It seems that the foreign cavalry is like livestock being slaughtered wantonly in his eyes?Robbery is clearly what the opponent is best at, but you have to use your own shortcomings to challenge others' strengths?

Xu Da instinctively resisted this plan.

But when he came back to his senses, he was full of longing for this plan full of mission. He wanted to participate in it more than anyone else, and also carried out a complete robbery for those aliens.

When Xu Da thought of this scene, he felt the emotions in his chest being ignited.

"Chang Shi, tell me what you want me to do!"
