Han Dao world

What command is determined, what is a well-thought-out plan, there is only a pot of muddleheaded porridge in his chest.

It would be a lie to say that there is no panic.

Do you want to send someone to have a look?

Fortunately, Guo Bang didn't give him too much time to hesitate. The sound of war drums sounded at the right time, and groups of Xiliang infantry walked out of the position, or armed with swords and shields, spears, or crossbows, and came to the front of the formation one by one. .

Watching the crossbowmen cautiously approaching within range, drawing the bow and crossbow to shoot, watching the sword and shield hand take big strides and start charging, Liu Xie's heartbeat gradually returned to calm.

Regardless of whether Yang Ding has surrendered or not, there is only one thing he needs to consider now, repel Guo Bang's attack, hold the position, and guard the last chance of the big man.

"Beat the drums, ready to fight." Liu Xie shouted.

"Wei!" Shi Ah responded loudly, walked to the edge of the general platform, raised the general flag in his hand, and shook it vigorously.

With the sound of war drums, a gong soared into the sky, flew more than a hundred steps, and shot through a wooden shield with an arrow, knocking down the Xiliang infantry behind the wooden shield who were charging with their knives.

Immediately afterwards, the captain of the strong crossbow who was facing the enemy screamed sharply, and hundreds of feathered arrows roared out.

Chapter 65 Victory in the First Battle

Xie Guang, who was commanding in front of the battle, stared at the arrows fired by the defenders, his brows were tightly frowned, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

He has been in battle for a long time, and he can see changes in subtleties, so as to accurately evaluate opponents.Once you find that the situation is not good, you will run away immediately, and you will never fight hard with the other party.

This is the secret of his survival today.

The arrows shot from Dong Chengying are neat and uniform, and the trajectories across the air are kept intact. There are not many people who are ahead or behind. .

For this kind of defensive battle, a well-trained crossbowman can cause greater damage, causing the opponent to suffer heavy losses before reaching the position, and at the same time make the soldiers of one's own side bear the minimum pressure, so that they can win easily with outnumbered enemies.

If this is not a coincidence, if other pawns can have such a good level of training, Dong Cheng's strength cannot be judged by the existing impression, and must be re-evaluated.

The way to re-evaluate is to attack cautiously, be careful in probing, and reduce casualties as much as possible.

But in this way, it is necessary to slow down the rhythm of the attack and delay the time.

He just doesn't have time right now.

Hu Feng is storming Yang Ding's camp.

Although he didn't understand why Hu Feng stormed Yang Ding's camp so desperately, he knew that Hu Feng was not a fool.

Even if he is Li Jue's nephew and Hu's servant, Hu Feng still has some ability to become a general under Li Jue's command.If he hadn't discovered some flaw in Yang Ding, he wouldn't have worked so hard.

He also knew at least one possibility: Yang Ding might run out of food at any time.

As long as Li Shi leads the Flying Bear Army to cut off Yang Ding's connection with other people and prevent reinforcements and food from approaching, Yang Ding will not last for a few days and may choose to surrender.

Once Hu Feng forced Yang Ding to surrender, the situation would be very unfavorable to Guo Bang.

Although he knew in his heart that he should be more cautious, Xie Guang did not change the combat order for a long time.

He hoped that this was just a coincidence and not the real strength of Dong Cheng's troops.

Dong Seung is still as incompetent as ever.

After some hesitation, the Xiliang Army's first attack had already been repelled. Most of the soldiers fell on the attacking route, a few of them reached the front of the barracks, and some even swam across the water-filled ditch, wielding knives and axes, They hacked at the camp fence in an attempt to open the camp gate.

But there were too few such people. Faced with the dense arrows and spears in the camp, they were quickly killed in front of the camp gate.

Seeing the ferocious Xiliang soldiers lying in front of the camp like dead dogs, but they were unharmed, the soldiers in the camp were very excited, roaring loudly, venting their joy and provoking the Xiliang people at the same time.

The Xiliang soldiers at the front line were enraged. Before Xie Guang could give an order, Qu Junhou gave another order to attack.

The fierce battle started again, one side attacked with all its strength, and the other side counterattacked with all its strength, the arrows galloped, and the roars and screams were mixed together.

The soldiers in the battalion guarded by a strong camp fence took advantage of it. Most of the arrows shot by Xiliang soldiers were blocked by the camp fence, and a small number of arrows shot into the camp were also stopped by the shield in front. Soldiers can safely and boldly stab through the barracks.

Don't panic in your heart, just keep your hands steady.

The stabbing became more and more beneficial, the cooperation became more and more tacit, and more and more enemies fell in front of the barracks.Blood flowed in from the gap, soaking the loess under their feet and sticking to their feet, but few people paid attention.

They enjoy the pleasure of killing pokes.

Ever since they saw these Xiliang soldiers in the sixth year of Zhongping, they never imagined that they would have such an opportunity to kill the ferocious Xiliang people like tigers and wolves.

Finally a chance to avenge his loved ones.

"Kill the Qiang Dog!" A Shichang raised his sword and opened his eyes wide. "Revenge for the folks in Luoyang!"

"Ah Weng, I will avenge you!" a young soldier yelled, and thrust his spear into the chest of a Xiliang soldier.

"Revenge! Revenge!" More people yelled, slashing and killing, and some even went to open the gate of the camp, wanting to rush out to fight.

Sima, who was in charge of guarding the gate of the camp, was taken aback. With sharp eyesight and quick hands, he kicked the rushing soldier over and slapped him hard.

"Your Majesty has an order not to come out of the camp to fight. Do you want to rebel?"

The soldier's eyes were red, and he got up from the ground, just about to fight Sima desperately, when he heard the word "Your Majesty", he immediately woke up a little bit, blinked, and ran back.

"Your mother, I don't know how much I weigh, but I still want to leave the camp." Sima spat and cursed angrily. "I'm afraid that he will go out of the camp with his life and come back with his life."

"My lord, it's not necessarily true. This Xiliang person looks like that." A personal guard said with a smile: "Look at them like this, don't they all die?"

Sima glanced at the guards. "Your mother, last time in Xinfeng, why didn't I see you so majestic? Why don't you be the first to rush out when I open the camp gate later, so you can kill yourself?"

The guard suddenly changed his face and shook his head again and again.

-

Before sunset, the Xiliang army launched three attacks in units of troops, all of which were repelled, leaving nearly a hundred corpses in front of the camp gate, and countless wounded.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xie Guang ordered to withdraw his troops and returned to the camp with some corpses.

The corpses within the shooting range stay where they are, and no one wants to take the cold arrows of the defenders to collect the corpses, even if they can get the family property and wife of the fallen comrades.

If he was shot, the family property and wife would belong to others.

Seeing the retreat of the Xiliang army, the atmosphere in the camp became even more enthusiastic. The captains and military marquises who were supposed to control the order couldn't contain their excitement, they sang and danced and laughed together.

I don't know who it is, and I sang loudly. "Guo Duo Guo Duo, there are not many days left. When you come, you are like a tiger, and when you go, you are like a dog."

Someone picked it up immediately. "It's like a tiger eating meat, like a dog drinking dung. Drinking dung to detoxify can be loud and loud."

The story of Guo Bang drinking manure to detoxify is widely spread. Although there are many versions and different opinions on the reasons, it is an undeniable fact that he drank manure.As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a burst of laughter.

Someone beat the beat with a long halberd in his hand, and sang loudly: "Guo Duo, Guo Duo, a hero of Xiliang. There is a beautiful wife in the family, and a virtuous woman is not jealous. Use dung to detoxify, use De Zov. Its taste is timeless, its fragrance Eternal."

Everyone laughed and chanted in unison. "Its flavor is timeless, and its fragrance is eternal."

In the distance, Xie Guang stopped and turned to look at Dong Cheng's camp.

The night wind blew the singing, and most people could only hear the sound, but they couldn't listen carefully.Xie Guang's hearing ability is excellent, he heard Guo Si's name, and then heard the words Jiedu, Qiangu, etc., and felt uneasy.

He knew that most of Dong Cheng's subordinates were Luoyang sluts, these people had no serious skills, they were cowards when they went into battle, but they were better at cursing each other, and they were extremely vicious.

They are afraid of the people of Xiliang, they have always dared not speak out, but today they won the battle, they will naturally sing and dance to celebrate, and it is almost inevitable to arrange Guo Bang.But teasing about Guo Bang drinking feces to detoxify is actually stabbing Guo Bang's back.

"Pass down the order, after returning to the camp, don't talk nonsense, otherwise you will be punished with the crime of disordering the army and beheaded!"

Chapter 66 The first time

After winning the first battle, Liu Xie was very excited, and brought the ministers and ministers to the front line to inspect excitedly.

Then I heard the songs being sung by the soldiers.

Situ Zhao Wen's expression changed upon hearing this. "It's unreasonable, it's just vulgar, vulgar."

Dong Cheng also felt very ashamed, and was about to send someone to stop him, but was stopped by Liu Xie.

"The soldiers won the battle and were happy for a while. Situ doesn't need to mind."

Zhao Wen resisted and said: "Your Majesty, I am not a pedantic minister. In fact, you must not be disrespectful in front of your Majesty. Victory is gratifying, but you must not lose the dignity of the court, otherwise how is it different from barbarians? And arrogant soldiers will lose, and small victories will be presumptuous like this. Can it last forever? The poem says: Trembling with trembling, as if facing an abyss, as if walking on thin ice. Your Majesty should guard against the gradual progress and strictly manage the army."

Liu Xie looked at Zhao Wen, who was upright and generous, and was a little speechless.

He knew that Zhao Wen was not only not a pedantic person, but also a minister with integrity.When he was in Chang'an, Zhao Wen was not afraid of life and death many times, confronting Li Jue, Guo Si and others to maintain the last trace of decency of the court.

But at this time, it seems inappropriate to ask the soldiers not to celebrate because the lyrics are indecent.

As far as their level of education is concerned, this kind of joke is already very elegant, okay?

Just when Liu Xie was in a difficult situation, Ding Chong suddenly came out and bowed his hands in salute. "Your Majesty, I think Situ's words are justified. Of course, the victory in the battle should be celebrated. This song is too vulgar, but it is an eyesore, and it should not be recorded in the annals of history."

Liu Xie was scratching his head, this kind of lyrics... really cannot be recorded in the annals of history.

But what can I do?

Zhao Wen glanced at Ding Chong with relief.

Although he doesn't like Ding Chong, Ding Chong's reason is still very powerful.

It's fine to sing casually, how will it be written in the history books in the future?

Ding Chong went on to say: "However, we have to congratulate the victory in the first battle. Why don't we ask Situ to write an article, Fu Yueguan to compose the music, and teach the soldiers to sing it. It will be recorded in the annals of history in the future, and it can be called an elegant event."

Zhao Wen's face suddenly darkened. "Ding Chong, what do you mean by this? Is it Situ's job to write articles and compose music? You servants and ministers usually recite poems and compose Fu, but do not do business. Why don't you present your masterpiece at such a great opportunity?"

Ding Chong smiled slightly, bowed his hands and bowed again. "Situ, although we are proficient in writing and ink, we are not familiar with the customs of the western land. Situ has family education and has a close relationship with Liangzhou soldiers, so he must be familiar with their tunes. If you come to write an article, in the future not only the soldiers in the camp will sing it, but also the Liangzhou soldiers. Soldiers can also speak eloquently, maybe there is a song of Chu that blows away a hundred thousand soldiers."

Zhao Wen was furious, and raised his finger at Ding Chong. His fair skin was flushed, his lips were trembling, but he didn't say anything. He flicked his sleeves vigorously and walked away.

The other ministers had different expressions, some looked at Ding Chong, some looked at Liu Xie, but no one stood up to speak.

Liu Xie was also a little confused, not knowing what was going on.

Although Zhao Wen was pissed off, he no longer had to face a dilemma.Ding Chong contradicted Situ in front of so many people, after all, it was against the rules and he had to show his attitude.

"Ding Chong, don't be rude to Situ. Is it the courtesy of a minister to offend the superior with the few, and offend the superior with the younger ones?"

"Wei." Ding Chong lifted his clothes and fell to his knees. "The minister is speechless for a while, and the king made a slip of the tongue and offended Situ. Please punish him."

Liu Xie turned to look at Sikong and Zhang Xi. "Sikong, what do you think is the best way to deal with it?"

Zhang Xi stroked his beard, and said unhurriedly: "Although Ding Chong is rude, what he said has some truth, and it does not conflict with what Situ said. This battle is the first battle of His Majesty, and it is also the first battle of the great Han Zhongxing. It should be recorded in the annals of history." Such vulgar language is naturally inappropriate. But Situ is a minister, how can he be a composer? Why don't we let Ding Chong do it for him and order him to compose the speech and teach the soldiers to sing."

Before Zhang Xi finished speaking, someone immediately seconded his opinion.

Ding Chong lowered his head, he couldn't see his expression, but he didn't mean to object.

Liu Xie suddenly understood a little bit.

Ding Chong did this on purpose, he just wanted to grab this opportunity.

Although this battle is small, the change in the morale of the army is obvious to all. If there are no accidents, it should not be difficult to hold the camp.

This may be the first time in history that the imperial court has the confidence and strength to resist the Xiliang army named after the tiger and wolf.

If the great Han is rejuvenated, this battle will definitely be recorded in the annals of history.

At that time, no one may be able to remember the ordinary soldiers who participated in the war, and they may not have the opportunity to live in peace, but Ji Gong's ballads can be passed down, and the author can leave a mark in the history books.

For a scholar, this may not be a good opportunity to leave a name in history.

Zhao Wen may not want this opportunity, but as Situ, he is embarrassed to argue openly, but he does not prevent him from recommending a few of his own people.

Ding Chong pointed his finger at him directly, and drove him away without giving him a chance to speak.

As for Zhang Xi and the others, they naturally understood what Ding Chong meant, so they followed suit, and this task became Ding Chong's.

After figuring out the possibility, Liu Xie was angry and funny.

Damn, you don't have the ability to do serious things, but you are very excited to play with these little ideas.

However, he didn't say anything about breaking Ding Chong's thoughts.

When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people are most holy, there will be no disciples.

If you control everything, you can't control anything.

Liu Xie handed over the task to Ding Chong, but sent someone to invite Zhao Wen back, and asked Ding Chong to apologize to Zhao Wen in person later.

Ding Chong got the task as he wished, so naturally he didn't care about making a concession, and agreed without hesitation.

Taking this opportunity, Ding Chong suggested that Zhao Wen could write a book to persuade Li Jue to follow his younger brother Li Ying anyway.

Li Ying was an old official of Zhao Wen, and he had rescued Zhao Wen before, if he could persuade Li Ying to go ahead and drive a wedge between Li Jue and Zhu Cong's younger brothers and congzi, it might play a certain role.

Liu Xie was somewhat surprised.

Li Ying was an old official of Zhao Wen, and he had heard about saving Zhao Wen, and he had heard that there was no problem with this method itself, and it was feasible to a certain extent.Even if you fail, you have nothing to lose.

But it was unexpected that Ding Chong offered advice and suggestions so actively.
