Gou is a soldier on the border

Chapter 11
It was already obvious that Zheng Yuan was one of the spies who infiltrated into the Wang family the day Wang Luo just crossed over. As for such spies, no one knew how many other such spies except him and Hu En.

Zheng Yuan was found soon, but he couldn't speak anymore.

Zheng Yuan, whose body was full of arrows, lay in front of Wang Tieshan, while Wang Luo stared closely at the bloody corpse in front of him.

Although he had already killed someone, Wang Luo still felt his stomach churning when he looked at Zheng Yuan who was dying.

"So, all the remaining clues are broken? Are Hu En and Zheng Yuan dead?" Wang Tieshan asked in a deep voice, as if what was in front of him was just a piece of pork.

"Yes, Hoon had taken poison and killed himself by the time we found him."

"Bring Mr. Xu back from Daying, it's time to clean up the house." Wang Tieshan was silent for a while, and then ordered.

Mr. Xu is a military adviser of the Northern Army and has been in charge of military affairs at Daying. When something like this happened at home, Wang Tieshan wanted to rely on his wisdom to help him relieve the pressure.

Mr. Xu came back, but what came back was a corpse.

On the way back, Mr. Xu and a sergeant who escorted him were ambushed by at least one battalion of northern barbarians, and the whole army was wiped out.

This was the first and last time Wang Luo and Mr. Xu met. A middle-aged scholar in his 40s was lying in a coffin with a pale face.

"Mr. Xu is a congenital eighth-dan master. Even if he is besieged, won't he still be able to break through?" Wang Tieshan supported the coffin, weeping, and he, who has always been known for his majesty, finally broke through after repeated blows.

"When the reinforcements arrived, the enemy had already retreated, but there seemed to be traces of the Northern Barbarian Blood Guards."

"Blood Guard?" Wang Tieshan froze for a moment.

The blood guard of the strong country, the emperor's personal soldier.

The military commander died in battle, his son was seriously injured, and the family's hearts were fluctuating. All this seemed to indicate something.

The next day, when Wang Luo saw Wang Tieshan again, he found a lot of white hair on his head.

Wang Tieshan, who originally planned to accompany Mr. Xu for three days, received an urgent report the next day.

Liang Lie On the border of the Liang Kingdom, there is an army of Lie Kingdoms gathering.

Wang Tieshan took off his white clothes and bowed deeply to his wife Chen Li.

"Ma'am, the house will be left to you."

"Husband, let's go, I have me at home, so don't worry!" Chen Li bowed profusely, and personally put on the armor for Wang Tieshan.

Wang Tieshan walked out of the mourning hall, and said to Zhang Shui outside: "Zhang Shui, Wei'er was injured, and a team of scouts has no leader. During this time, you can go back to your old job. I will make Beiman pay the price. Since he It’s not like letting us have a good time this year, just don’t let anyone pass it!”

Zhang Shui clasped his fists.

"Yes, General."

The first team of scouts has been sweeping around Wang's house for the past few days, and has gained a lot. Wang Tieshan took Wang Yu, Zhang Shui, the first battalion of Tiewei, the first team of scouts, and more than 200 heads of the northern barbarian rangers, and hurried back to Peking University. camp.

According to Beidaying, there are 5000 troops in total, including 3000 light cavalry and rangers, 2000 heavy armored cavalry, and 3 infantry.

These are just the main combat forces of the Northern Army. In the northern deserted city south of Wang's house, there is also a reserve team composed entirely of veterans of the Northern Army. They mount horses in wartime and plow the fields in their spare time. They are the most important soldiers of the Northern Army. Supplementary channels, in addition, the recruits recruited in Liang Guo every year are also trained here.

Together, these troops constituted the framework for Liang State's northern border to defend against the Lie Kingdom. The three layers of defense in the north and south, with a depth of [-] miles, firmly blocked the Lie Kingdom from the country's gates.

Arriving at the North Camp, Wang Tieshan got off his horse, handed Pingman's reins to the soldiers next to him, and strode into the commander's tent.

He sat down on the main seat bravely, and his generals and lieutenants had been waiting below for a long time.

Commander of Bai Yuwei, son of the previous head of the Wang family, Wang Su, nephew of Wang Tieshan.

The leader of the scouts, Wang Tieshan's eldest son, Wang Yu.

Commander with mounted cavalry rejects Wu Xuanyuan, general of the northern army who holds the flag.

The leader of the crossbow soldiers, Ouyang Li, who is known as the "Front of the Northern Desolation".

Wu Shuyan, the leader of the heavy infantry, is extremely stable in his use of troops.

The leader of the Pocheng Battalion, he claims to be able to command Guan Wending in every bid.

Except for Mr. Xu who had just died in battle, all the six commanders of the Northern Army were present.

"The northern barbarian army is pressing down on the border. This is their largest invasion in the past five years. You are all veterans of the war. Mr. Xu was killed just now. He is gone. Everyone is talking about how to fight this time." Wang Tieshan cut to the chase and asked directly.

"The northern barbarians are used to coming to our side to fight the autumn wind in winter. I heard that they suffered a cold wave this year, and many livestock froze to death. They urgently need to obtain a lot of resources through this invasion to survive this winter. I suggest strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness, and relying on various cities for defense , They will not be able to attack for a long time, and they will consume a lot of food, and they will retreat when they can't hold on."

The most experienced Wu Shuyan spoke first.

"Hmph, the northern barbarians have made a lot of little tricks recently, not only in the Wang family, but even in the northern camp, there are often northern barbarian spies infiltrating and sabotaging them. This time, let them have a long memory. If you don't fight, you will hurt them. , so that they will no longer be able to go south for five or ten years." Ouyang Li gave his own suggestion in another aspect.

"I suggest luring the enemy to go deep and find a suitable place for the decisive battle. After all their achievements are completed in one battle, we have the absolute upper hand in the main decisive battle. No matter whether it is soldiers or equipment, they will definitely lose under the same strength!" This is Wang Su's suggestion.

A group of people discussed in the commander's tent late at night, and it was not until the next day that they came up with a specific battle plan.

The first is to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and all the people in the vicinity gather into the city.

The most important thing to defend is to base the three cities of Qingyuan, Tanglu, and Dongzhao on the north side of the North Camp, which are the closest to the border. fastened to the border.

Wang Su and Wang Yu led Qingqi with strong mobility as a mobile force to harass the northern barbarian army. When the enemy was unable to attack for a long time and the main force gathered to retreat, they pursued or fought a decisive battle.

To put it simply, it makes you unable to fight or run.

This plan seems simple, but it is the option with the least casualties based on the fact that the equipment and personnel have advantages over the northern barbarians.

Then, the bow and crossbow battalion, the heavy infantry, and the light infantry of the Pocheng battalion sent out troops to help the three cities of Qingyuan.

Luo He, the guard of Qingyuan City, looked at the ants-like Northern soldiers attacking the city one after another, and then being repulsed again and again, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Luo He, who has been guarding for more than ten years, is an old man who has experienced the last war. He said disdainfully to the captain of the bow and crossbow battalion who assisted him: "These northern barbarians have not grown up after so many years. If we continue fighting like this, we can defend for a year.”

The situation in Qingyuan City is also a microcosm of the other two cities. The northern barbarian army charged again and again without fear of death, but was repelled time and time again.

In the most dangerous situation, only a small number of enemy troops climbed the city wall, but were immediately repelled.

Those pioneers climbed up from the ladder wearing armor and biting steel knives, and were pierced by several spears, and were thrown to the bottom of the city with the sound of soldiers' chanting, and they were thrown out of human shape.
