Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 84 The catapult is a bird
Although the wolf smoke message can't convey complicated information, the speed of delivering the message is very fast.A stick of incense can travel fifty miles away.The beacon towers in the Banished Immortal Valley are connected in series, and the warning message is received from the Banxian Valley, and then conveyed to the Fort of Decision.In fact, when Tian Luo's army hadn't advanced two or three miles, the decisive victory castle received the warning fifteen minutes later, while Dongyang castle received the warning later than the decisive victory castle, but it did not exceed half an hour.

The defender of the decisive castle is Hu Guang, the Sima of the other division of the dead army. Hu Guang made the first contribution in the process of annihilating the Tian Bao army.According to the military system, Hu Guang was promoted to Sima of another department, and at the same time, he was rewarded with more than 130 mu of fertile land in Dongyangbao.Hu Guang instantly completed the transformation from a poor man to a landlord.Naturally, Hu Guang had no time to take care of these properties, and Gao Jingzong was unwilling to treat Hu Guang badly. After the establishment of the Jianghuai Metropolitan Government, he ordered the chief secretary Lu Yonghua to reward Hu Guang with [-] mu of land from the fields reclaimed near Juesheng Fort. .

Hu Guang led his troops to garrison the Juesheng Fort, and led more than [-] people to reclaim wasteland and land here to build the Juesheng Fort.

Now Hu Guang has no way to refuse, Hu Guang can also be said to have a double harvest in love and career at this time.Originally alone, after Hu Guangsheng got rich, he quickly married a wife.Hu Guang's marriage is completely inescapable.

When Hu Guang entered Tianjiabao as a victor, suddenly a seven or eight-year-old child with a tiger head and a tiger head rushed forward and called him Daddy.It was only then that Hu Guang discovered that the child's eyebrows and eyes were seven or eight points similar to him.

The child suddenly rushed out and rushed towards Hu Guang, which gave his mother a big jump. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my son..." This is a crime against the army. In ancient times, you would be cut off completely, and you have nothing to say.Terrified, the mother rushed up to pick up the child, looked up at Hu Guang's face, but was taken aback for a moment, and then understood why the child suddenly called daddy.

"This big brother is like the dead father of the child~~" For some reason, this sentence came out of my mouth. After the child's mother realized it, her face flushed with shame, she picked up the child and fled into the crowd, her heart fluttered. Jumping, covering his burning face, he thought to himself: "Oh, why don't you talk about it? People look down on you!"

It's just that this thick-headed and tiger-headed child is different in every way, crying and calling for his father to hug him.

It was later that Hu Guang found out that the child's name was Jiang Hutou. When the child's father, Jiang Liangcai, died of illness, Jiang Hutou was only four years old, and he had a vague impression of his father.At that time, the child was young, and Jiang Liushi lied to Jiang Hutou that his father had joined the army.When he returns from meritorious service, he will come back to see him.As a result, this lie was really "realized" today, and Jiang Hutou found his father.

Zhang Tu scolded Hu Guang with a smile: "Old Hu, I have known you for more than ten years and I still don't know that you are hiding a daughter-in-law and son here." As he spoke, Zhang Tu couldn't help saying, hugging Jiang Hu's head and saying, "I am you!" Uncle Zhang, meeting you for the first time, I will give you a small gift!"

But after a while, Zhang Tu didn't find the gift he was carrying with him.I had no choice but to give Jiang Hutou a dagger with a shark skin on it.Jiang Hutou couldn't put it down.Although Hu Guang and Jiang Liushi have repeatedly stated that it is Jiang Hutou who has misunderstood his father.It's a pity that everyone refused to give up, and instead accused Hu Guang of treachery.

Hu Guang had no choice but to make the mistake, and recognized Jiang Liu's mother and son.

In fact, Hu Guang also knew that Zhang Tu and the others had good intentions. They had fought half their lives on the battlefield, and they might be shrouded in horse leather one day.Misidentifying this relative, there will also be someone who will carry the flag to send the spirit off.

Hu Guang is stationed in Juesheng Fort, Jiang Liushi, or now it is Hu Liushi who brought his son Hu Hutou to Juesheng Fort.Mrs. Hu and Liu are good at living, taking care of everything inside and out.She even summoned more than a dozen families of refugees to help Hu Guang reclaim wasteland and land.

When the smoke of the war reached the Fort of Decisive Victory, Hu Guang began to put on his military uniform.

Hu Liu didn't complain, but said in a low mood: "Do you have to go?"

Hu Guang said in a muffled voice: "I have to go, I was also infected with ghost face sores back then, if it wasn't for the exiled fairy doctor who gave me blood to save me, I'm afraid you two won't be able to see me, and I will repay the kindness you received from others , I have received the grace of life, and I will not be able to clear this grace in my life."

Hu Liushi was silent for a while and asked timidly: "Can you win?"

Hu Guang smiled and said, "Do you want to win for your husband, or do you want your enemy to win?"

"I...I naturally hope that my husband will win!" Hu Liushi's eyes were full of mist, and he said reluctantly: "However, swords and guns have no eyes on the battlefield. If you have something good or bad, how will we mothers live!"

"Don't worry!" Hu Guang said, "Our dead army has 5000 troops. Although it took a short time to form an army, it is well-equipped and well-trained. Although I dare not say that it is walking sideways in the ghosts and monsters, at least we can eat our dead army for now. There are not many people here. Maybe it’s just a rivalry, after you all sleep at home, I can come back tomorrow!”

Speaking of which, Hu Guang assembled a total of 50 people, one or two songs and one personal guard, and then transferred [-] young men from the civilian husbands to help them transport food and supplies with the army.

……

Tian Luo was very depressed at this time. He was leading the army for the first time, and he could have made a surprise attack, but because he didn't investigate clearly in advance, he asked the Beacon Tower to send out a warning. Without alarming anyone, the soldiers came to the city of Xiangu.

If it doesn't work out now, he can take Gao Jingzong back.Fortunately, Lu Longtian's begging army is all veterans who have survived regular field battles. Their fighting will and tactical quality are definitely not comparable to the mob under Tian Bao's troops.Although the weather is still hot at this time, these Lu Longtian family troops are step by step.First, in the land three miles away from the Immortal Valley, the people built temporary rest shacks and expanded a war camp when they used the Immortal Valley to reclaim wasteland.

After the trenches, arrow towers, watchtowers, and turrets were all built, only a part of the manpower was allocated to build siege equipment.Lu Longtian's begging army has many skilled equipment masters. They can not only build simple siege ladders, but also build trebuchets, rush carts, nest carts, and goose carts for siege.

Logs were cut in the woods forty miles away, and various accessories were shaped nearby, and then transported to the city of Banxiangu with a simple deer cart, where they were slowly assembled.At this time, the [-] cavalry were divided into four squads, and they were always on guard against Banxian Valley, so that Ji Kan did not find a chance to counterattack.

In just three days, the siege ladders, goose carts, the rush carts that hit the city gate, the nest carts that suppressed the crossbowmen on the city wall, and the heavy siege weapon trebuchets began to be assembled under the city wall of the Immortal Valley, and Over time, these devices have become more and more numerous.

Ji Kan frowned and said to himself: "This Lu Longtian clan's begging army has a lot of capable people, this battle is really difficult to fight!"

Gao Jingzong said: "The trebuchet is a bird. I have a good toy. Give me half a day, and I will let Lu Longtian and Tian Bao go to the underworld as companions!"
