[Slow Travel] Assassin System - Mingguang

Winter is just around the corner, but the weather is still hot. The past few years have been very bad. When it is hot, it is extremely hot, and when it is cold, it is extremely cold. God seems to like to toss the world like this. Even when the harvest is good, the autumn tiger will be released everywhere. Sapo.

In this kind of weather, the gloomy prison is not much cooler than under the scorching sun. There is no wind in the closed narrow room, and a thick stench is deposited in the stale air, which is the smell of rotting flesh and accumulated excrement , enough to make anyone physically sick.

Huo Yuhuai just went down a few floors, and he was already sweating profusely. The two layers of official robes were soaked with sweat, and the jailer who led him was even more embarrassed. Sweat clings to the scalp.

"My lord, this is here..." The jailer touched the sweat in front of his eyes, and said with a smile, "We have wiped it with water three times, and it is not dirty anymore."

Huo Yuhuai stood still in front of the table and chair that was said to be "not dirty anymore", and put the food box in his hand on the sticky table. Soon, the jailers brought the prisoner.

Wei Jinghuan was wearing heavy shackles, his messy hair was tied up casually, and only a single shirt was left on his body. He had been wet with sweat for countless times, so he sat down on the bench without hesitation.

"I didn't expect us to meet again here." Even after being imprisoned for a month, Wei Jinghuan didn't show any resentment in his expression, he even smiled happily, "What delicious food did you bring, let me see it quickly .”

Huo Yuhuai stared at his cousin who was feasting: "How are you doing here...how are you doing?"

I haven't seen him for a few years, Wei Jinghuan still seems to be the same, his brows are still bright and upright, the wind and sand on the border has polished him into a thick and sharp knife.

But he is completely different from when he was a teenager.

Huo Yuhuai couldn't help lowering his eyes.

"It's good, it's comfortable, there's nothing wrong with it except that it's hotter, there's something to eat and drink..." Wei Jinghuan said nonchalantly while gnawing on the roast chicken, "The people here are all talented people, just the one next door to me. The two who live there can sing Sanhua on the left, and like Shibamo on the right, and I am still in charge of the house opposite me, playing cards and gambling games with the pawns every day, I am very happy to watch."

Huo Yuhuai raised his eyes. Even though he couldn't use Shengren in front of Wei Jinghuan, he knew that this cousin had lied, and he also knew that only one sentence could expose the falsehood: "Since your accident, my aunt has After washing my face with tears, my uncle will never drink with my father again."

Wei Jinghuan stopped searching for food boxes.

What Wei Jinghuan committed was not a trivial matter, and the eunuchs who asked for trouble were all acquiesced, so even if someone interceded for him, he still implicated his family members——Wei Jinghuan went to the border to join the army alone, but Wei Jinghuan The family actually settled in Hangjing.

Huo Yuhuai sighed again: "I'll find a way to get you out first, you go to the border for now, I heard that the Tartars have already invaded Bibao, your charges can always be overturned, as long as you make meritorious service..."

Wei Jinghuan put down the biscuits in his hand: "Then, what about Old General Zhao? It's fine if I'm locked up here. Where is Old General Zhao locked up? He's old and has been suffering from diabetes. In such a hot weather, He must be suffering."

Huo Yuhuai: "I have no way to visit - General Zhao's detention and surveillance were entrusted by the sage to his confidant eunuch, but there is indeed an imperial physician on call at any time.

These words imply that the emperor did not want the veteran to die. Wei Jinghuan was a little relieved, and then asked another question he was most concerned about: "When did the Tartars attack Bibao? The autumn harvest at Yanguan should not have come yet." Come on, how many did they come?"

Speaking of this, Huo Yuhuai also frowned, and simply recited the battle report directly. Now he almost has a photographic memory, and he does not know how many terrible things are loaded in his mind.

"...The news came nine days ago. An urgent report was written by General Qian himself. He said that there were 9 Tatars on the sidelines, and all of them had been repelled. He wrote the report to claim credit..."

When Wei Jinghuan heard it, his heart tightened: "Impossible! Even if it is a plunder of a large tribe, it will not mobilize more than 5 people. Either the general made a false report or the Tartars bluffed. How could the princess allow such a report to be published?" Datian listen--"

"Because the princess is not the chief general, she has no right to interfere with the military emergency report." Huo Yuhuai sighed again, "This time I miscalculated, the government actually sent a new chief general and two supervisors, and the choice of the chief general... ..."

These three people were strongly suggested by Huo Yuhuai to the prince. They are all excellent candidates to supervise the army, but they are not qualified as the chief general. For example, this Qian Zhong, a guy who is full of power and profit, greedy for life and afraid of death, how to defend border?

Wei Jinghuan immediately lost the intention to eat. Yes, the Princess of the Princess is the most strict military regulation, and she will never openly disobey the military order...

He murmured: "At this time in previous years, the harvest should have ended long ago. Even if the Tartars come, it doesn't matter. The walls are cleared, the four cities help each other, with Budweiser's support, Youjia and Xingguo are flanked by two wings, and each city sends 1 people. Enough to defend Bibao!"

As long as the Tartars are only here to plunder, and their strength is less than [-]...

Huo Yuhuai is far inferior to Wei Jinghuan in terms of military affairs, and he doesn't know the specific situation of the border town, so he heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "It doesn't look like a bad thing, as long as this winter is safe, maybe that trumped-up charge can be wiped out. General Zhao can also retire and return home."

Wei Jinghuanshi ate the cake without taste, but his heart became more and more uneasy. Tartars looting is an inevitable thing every year. They must come to Bibao every year, but they never exceed [-], and there is no mention of Tartars in the battle report. Tribes and equipment, which makes it even more difficult to judge...

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the door, and Huo Yuhuai's attendants rushed over in a panic. Because of the sweltering heat and running, the whole person seemed to be fished out of the water, and he pushed it away Jailer leading the way.

"Master!" the attendant shouted as if he was about to die, "The city is broken!"

*

When the army of the Tartars went south, the first thing they destroyed was the farmland outside Yanguan.

The southerners are good at farming, especially when the military rations in Shangzhou are not necessarily sufficient, the fields outside the city have become resources worth using. Although farming outside the city would take great risks, but in the past years With the protection of the army, and the rush of the people to harvest, they can always clear the walls and clear the fields before the end of autumn... only this year is an exception.

For these unexpected joys, Dari Gachi was not in a hurry to close in. At this time, what he valued most was Yanguan—how much food and property could not be found after defeating Yanguan?Grabbing fields will reveal your own intelligence, so you need to think carefully.

Furthermore, the abnormality of the cultivated land outside the city has indirectly explained the negligence of the southerners. Maybe there is indeed a problem with the overall management of Yanguan, and the new general from Hangjing cannot command Yanguan!

In this way, Darigachi's confidence was even stronger, and he could not miss the opportunity. He immediately divided his troops and sent a small team to attack Bibao.

This was originally only the first step of Darigachi's meticulous strategy, but even he himself did not expect that the southern generals would pull away most of Budweiser's troops with great cooperation. They probably knew that this would be easy to expose, so Many smoke bombs were produced.

But with the presence of Chaoluomen, the changes in the strength of the Southerners could hardly be hidden.

The range of "Dawn Star" is too large. Miao Xuan once roughly estimated the limit of Chaoluomen, which is about twice the size of his small map. It is impossible to completely cover the four cities, and as long as there is a flaw, the Tartars can immediately calculate the layout of the southern troops.

Since the southerners cooperated so well, Dari Gachi would never miss this opportunity. He boldly mobilized the main force and cut straight to Baiwei City-the convenience of the terrain can be used by both warring parties, and Dari Gachi wanted to take advantage of this to the extreme. He made the situation of diverting the tiger away from the mountain and focusing on Budweiser. In fact, he wanted to rely on the mobility of the cavalry to shift positions at any time and find the weakness of the southerners.

The basis of all these strategies lies in the real strength of the two armies when they confront each other, and also in the determination of the two armies when they fight.

When Budweiser was exposed in front of the Tartars, Darigachi didn't care about the other three cities, and gathered a large army and piled directly under the city of Budweiser!

In the early morning, the Tartar army went straight to Budweiser, and it was not blocked on the way. Although many checkpoints were set up between the four cities, there were problems in the overall planning of the army, and there were many omissions. Under the watchful eyes of the people, it can be seen clearly.

As the sun rose, Tartar rockets and slings fell on the high walls, and the Tartar army wasted no time in unexpectedly catching the southerners by surprise.

On the battlefield this time, Miao Xuan did not participate in the charge. He was still performing the duties of a priest, basically equivalent to a full-time military doctor. In this position, Miao Xuan could clearly grasp the vision of the entire battlefield.

When all the tactics are used, the rest of the battlefield becomes very simple. Hand-to-hand combat no longer requires exquisite and fancy skills, it only needs the courage to fear death.

The siege of the Tartars is very simple, that is, cavalry and infantry charge forward, use various methods to climb and destroy the city wall, and the southerners are also very skilled in defense. They throw all kinds of things under the city wall. Arrows and stones, as well as boiling water and hot oil, and what's more, gunpowder.

Siege battles have always been extremely tragic, but siege wars involving extraordinary power will be even more brutal. The extraordinary power has brought even greater lethality, and almost none of the vanguard survived.

Fortunately, the defense force of the Southerners is very weak, which is hugely different from that of the Tartars. Therefore, the endurance of the defenders is weak, and the extraordinary power of guarding the city wall will soon be stretched. The walls of the city were completely exposed, and the Tartars did not miss this opportunity, and their khan stood up first.

Facing the city wall piled up with layers of defense, Dari Gachi shook the ground and loosened the cornerstone of the high wall. It was as if the scene of the earthquake had caused enormous psychological pressure on the southern defenders. It is also the foundation of the defense of the city, and now, the Tartars will shake the foundation as soon as they make a move!

The shaking of the city wall brought a huge psychological shock to both sides on the battlefield. The morale of the Tartars was greatly boosted, and the southerners were facing a big enemy. However, both sides had experienced generals. The battlefield did not collapse immediately, but continued to confront each other. ——Without any surprises, the Tartars completely exhausted the protective layer outside Budweiser with their absolute numerical superiority and human lives.

This time, the tremors of the earth easily destroyed the city wall...

The walls of Budweiser have fallen!

This tall city wall, which has stood for decades, is firmly piled up with high-quality bricks and clay. After all, it cannot withstand the ravages of foreign enemies. It staggers and collapses, like a giant beaten by disease , covered in bruises, but he refused to close his eyes when he was dying.

The city wall collapsed, and the southern soldiers had no shelter anymore, but they were unwilling to retreat, let alone surrender. They had to fight to the end, expecting to use their lives to delay time and wait for the delayed reinforcements.

The Tartar cavalry cheered heartily, charging towards the flesh and blood where the khan's blade pointed.

In this way, the victory is set, no matter how capable the southerners are, can they rebuild the dilapidated city wall in an instant? !

The answer seemed to be yes, even Darigachi showed a smile. He looked at the indistinct buildings behind the city wall, and he knew that there were countless treasures and food waiting to be plundered, enough to comfort the suffering clansmen.

At this moment, on this one-sided battlefield, when no one noticed, a figure appeared on the crumbling watchtower. It was so thin and small that it was almost submerged in smoke and dust. No one will care, unless...

【elder brother!It's goal three! ! 】

The small system in Miao Xuan's brain screamed out: [Why is Target [-] hiding here? ! 】

Goal three?

Miao Xuan was stunned. He found the target that the system said by following the signs on the mini-map. It was the little red dot on the arrow tower of the ruined city—how could target three be hidden in such a small Budweiser city? Didn't show up until now?

Soon, Miao Xuan got the answer.

The iron hooves of the Tartars are ruthlessly trampling the flesh and blood of the enemy army, the city wall has collapsed, and there seems to be a smooth road in front of them, as long as they slash and kill as much as they want, they can win the first place!

But under the cover of this fire and blood, a silent undercurrent surged quietly.

The first thing to change is the bones, flesh and mud corpses. Invisible power surges from the still warm bones, forming a pair of translucent bodies in the world. It is the newly dead souls returning to the world, wearing solid clothes. Zhi Rui, reminding us of life.

Immediately afterwards, the flattened cemeteries and altars of heroic souls also woke up. Countless tiny light spots floated out from the shattered steles, gradually condensing the appearance of soldiers. Still holding the weapon tightly, the owl first punished Tianwu's relatives.

Then, on this blood-stained land, thousands of souls sprang up everywhere, like grass leaves sprouting when spring comes to the earth. They may not be southerners, they may come from earlier dynasties, farther away In the past years, their corpses were abandoned here, on the battlefield against foreign enemies, leaving only the will before death, which is endlessly quenched by wild fire.

……

How many years has it been, how many years has this Yanguan guarded the land of the Central Plains?

How many corpses were shrouded in horse leather, how many heroes died in battle, how much blood was spilled on the territory, and how many beacon fires, the resurrected souls returned to their former lands. Standing here, they are the new city walls.

The Tartar cavalry is still so powerful and powerful, they are like a sea tide paving the ground...

But no matter how many cavalry there are, they can only cover the ground in front of Baiwei City. The heroic souls who have been guarding the border for thousands of years are covering the sky and covering the sky, covering the sky and the sun!

These souls are layered on top of each other, standing in front of the dilapidated city wall together. They have completely different armors on their bodies, but their blurred faces carry the same fighting intent. They cannot be resisted by human weapons, and even dead war horses are shaken. Standing up again in a jerk, carrying his companions on his back, he charged for the last time...

They only thought that they were still standing on the battlefield, and their home country was guarding behind them, so without any hesitation, they brandished the weapons in their hands and rushed towards the enemy's cavalry.

The heroic soul roared continuously, and went on and on, stretching to the sky, and blocked the longevity sky above the heads of the Tartars with the remains of bones!

And behind these trillions and trillions of souls, on the small archery tower over there, an old woman with disheveled hair was kneeling and kowtowing three times to the heaven and the earth, her seven orifices bleeding, praying loudly——

"The heroic spirit is immortal, and the soul is back!"
