Chapter 17 Left Pioneer Luo Lie
The army set off, Zuo Houde and others followed the army.

At the beginning of the month, the lieutenant generals of the camp distributed armor and battle gear, and strictly issued military orders.

Zuo Houde was wearing heavy armor, with an iron sword hanging on his waist, a longbow on his back, holding the rein with his left hand, and an iron spear in his right. He rode a tall brown horse and followed behind Luo Lie.There are Luo Lie's personal guards on the left and right, and they are very serious all the way.

Luo Lie's battalion is the vanguard of the left.I received a written military order three days ago, and the content of the military order was to attack the Acropolis within three days.

A battalion of people came to the outside of the Acropolis. It was already near sunset, and they set up camp and rested overnight.

The morning drum resounded, and the soldiers in the battalion wore armor and began training in full gear in the battalion. Most of the training was of a queue nature to strengthen military discipline, and no physical-related intensive training was carried out.

Luo Lie discussed with Sima and others in the camp,

"Although there are few soldiers and horses in the guard city, the city is strong. Even if it can be captured, our army will still be short of major generals."

"The military order requires me to take it in three days, but I think one day is enough." Luo Lie said confidently.

Luo Lie looked around the tent, and all the Sima's faces showed embarrassment, and looked directly at everyone: "The general chose me as the vanguard, which is not only an opportunity for me, but also for you. Today, I will take the lead in attacking the Acropolis. I will retreat, gentlemen. Behead my head; if the lords retreat, the military lords will behead all the lords; if the military lords retreat, the generals will beheaded; if the generals retreat, the team leaders will behead them; if this is the case, the retreating ones will be beheaded. My words, the lords Do you know?"

Sima Qi from all ministries clasped his fists together: "I would like to follow the general!"

"strike camp!"

Luo Lie waved his sword: "Beat the drum, march!"

During the battle of fortifications, the formations are neatly spaced, holding shields and walking slowly, and it is absolutely impossible to launch a charge.Sure enough, the defenders of the Acropolis raised their bows and shot arrows one after another.

Zuo Houde, wearing iron armor and holding a shield in one hand, followed behind Luo Lie.The arrows are nailed to the big shield in Zuo Houde's hand.

From time to time, soldiers who were hit by arrows in their legs and feet fell to the ground with a muffled grunt. They crouched still and held shields to cover their torso and head.

During the battle, if there is no order from the commander in chief, who dares to hold the wounded or the dead and retreat back, that is the behavior of "healing the wounded and lifting the dead, and returning it because of entrustment". Just enforce the military law.

Disturbing the marching ranks during an attack is also a typical capital crime, which can be executed on the spot.

The seven bans and 54 cuts are the basic common sense of military officials, and it is also the content of the regular assessment of sergeants in the army.

If you don't want to be executed on the spot by military law, you have to endure no matter how much pain you suffer.

The walls of the Acropolis were solid, and the guard pointed at where Luo Lie was, and shouted: "That man is the enemy general! Quick, if you shoot the enemy, you will be rewarded with a hundred thousand!"

Luo Lie was willing to be the vanguard, boosting morale, wearing silver armor, surrounded by personal guards on both sides, and it was natural to see that the guards were condescending.

Seven or eight crossbowmen around him fired their crossbows one after another, hitting Luo Lie's big shield several times, but they couldn't break the shield. Zuo Houde was beside Luo Lie, and several crossbow arrows hit the shield in his hand.

Luo Lie saw through the gap that the wall was less than twenty steps away, and shouted loudly: "Left and right! Stand up!"

The personal guards Yan Zhong, Zuo Houde and others shouted in unison: "Stand up!" The soldiers on the two wings set up shields one after another, forming a shield wall.

The shield wall is close to the closing wall, the defenders on the wall are firing their crossbows at full force, and the shield wall is rattling.

At this time Sima waved his hand, and a military official led a dozen soldiers to rescue the soldiers who had been shot by arrows, and dragged them back to the rear.

The shield formation stood firm, and the sergeants behind the shield also began to fight back.Those who are good at using crossbows shoot flat with crossbows, and those who are good at using bows throw them. There are a few screams from the closed wall, and the defenders' arrow rain offensive is blocked.

Luo Lie observed the wall from the gap in the shield formation, and found the guard who had shouted before.

Luo Lie shouted: "Left and right guards, follow me to attack."

More than [-] people from Yan Zhong and Zuo Houde hung the iron masks of evil spirits hanging from their waists on their faces: "I wish to die with the general!"

The guard was puzzled, and saw a gap in the shield formation outside the wall. More than twenty people rushed out from the gap, holding a shield in one hand and a long bamboo in the other, followed by three or four armored soldiers. Pushing the long bamboo, the defenders on the wall were stunned and hesitant.

So he watched Luo Lie step on the city wall first to use his strength, and almost instantly, his body flew to the wall with a height of four feet, and just as he landed, he threw the shield in his hand at a crossbowman.Raising his foot and hooking, he reached out and grabbed a long dagger in front of him, and strode forward with a thrust. The side branch of the dagger cut a person's neck and blood gushed out. Luo Lie excitedly shouted: "The first one! Luo Lie!"

Soon, the rest of the guards became the second batch of people who climbed up the wall. Luo Lie alone rushed to the defender's flag, beheaded the defender in the chest, drew his sword and slashed. The sergeant's eyes fluttered: "If you don't surrender now, when will you wait!"

As the head of the guard was provoked by Chang Ge, the defenders of the Acropolis surrendered.

Zuo Houde was inspecting the heads with Luo Lie, feeling a little uncomfortable, Zuo Houde cut off seven heads in today's siege, besides Luo Lie and Yan Zhong, he was the most.

The evaluation of military merit is the job of the army officer, the supervisor, and the guard of the army. Luo Lie's only responsibility is to watch and rule out the occurrence of extremely bad phenomena such as cutting off the head of the robe and pretending to be a meritorious service. The military officials together to decide the case.Basically, right and wrong can be ascertained on the spot, and those who pretend to be credited generally end up beheaded on the spot to clean up military discipline.

The battle time is short and the battle range is concentrated, so the military merit evaluation is completed quickly, and the original meritorious army is also written.

After Luo Lie checked and found that it was correct, he took a pen and signed it, and Junzheng kept it on file, and began to copy the copy to report to the rear.

In the afternoon, Luo Lie was looking at the map and asked Cao Sima, "I intend to take advantage of the victory and attack Xiangkou in the north. What does Cao Sima think?"

Cao Sima did not hesitate: "General, the morale of the battalion is high, and it is time to attack Xiangkou."

Luo Lie simply turned around and said to the two Sima Zhang and Li: "I intend to lead a troop to attack Xiangkou in the north, and leave you to wait for the second troop to guard the city."

Second Sima clasped his fists and replied, "No!"

The conversation between Luo Lie and several Sima, Zuo Houde and other personal guards also heard, everyone was very excited, today's attack on the city, except for four people were injured when the guards ascended the city, the rest were not injured, and each gained something.

Zuo Houde just silently watched Luo Lie discuss with the Sima in the camp, and at the same time secretly recorded the knowledge of forming troops and attacking cities and lands in his mind.Following Luo Lie as a personal guard, Zuo Houde learned a lot of knowledge about marching and fighting, these things are quite rare.

It's all Luo Lie's ten years of experience in the army. Zuo Houde can learn it so easily. It can only be said that Zuo Houde is really lucky.

The Battle of the Acropolis went smoothly, and the soldiers responded with a bang, abandoning the excess rations, and marching to the Xiangkou stronghold three or four miles to the north with only their war equipment.

The terrain of Xiangkou was flat, Luo Lie looked at the terrain and said, "It is suitable for a cavalry raid." He ordered the left and right guards to mount a surprise attack.

There were only a few hundred people stationed in the Xiangkou camp, and the counterattack was not strong.More than [-] people rushed on horseback, Zuo Houde had his spear in his hand, he just swept away three or four enemy troops.It was another stab, pick, and charge.

The defenders ran around, or dropped their weapons and stopped resisting.
