The climate in the north at this time has the characteristics of getting colder.In the future, the earth will usher in two small ice ages, the most recent one being the Jin Dynasty 100 years later.At that time, even in the south of the Yangtze River, there will be a "grand event" of snow in May.

Now it is cloudy in May, the temperature is low in the morning and evening, and it is extremely hot at noon, which is very difficult.Under such circumstances, the water of the Baihe River outside the city was not even completely thawed, and there was basically no water in the moat.This is also what bothers Li Shun and his generals now.

As the most useful defensive construction at present, the moat is not of much use now.

Nan Xing frowned, looked at the Baihe River connected to the moat on the map, tilted his head and asked in a low voice to the soldiers who patrol there every day.After getting the exact answer, Nan Xing looked up again at the sheriff and generals who were staring at her, and gesticulated with her hands to describe the strategy against the enemy.

After expounding his opinion, Nan Xing was habitually silent and waited for Li Shun's reaction.

The calm sheriff also fell silent for a moment, causing an uneasy atmosphere in the camp.Nan Xing's plan is a bit risky, and as a veteran who has experienced many battles, he actually doesn't agree with it.But the current situation is not a matter of his approval or disapproval. Sixty percent of the troops are sent to the northern cities where the Hu people's rebellion is the most serious, and [-] percent are in the rear as a reserve force. Now less than two percent of the troops are guarding Nanping. become.In order to take care of the front line, he moved the camp from the county town to Nanping, which is closer to the north.Nanping is not very far from Yinping County City, and it can be reached in about a week along the Baishui River. After losing the trust of the court, and losing the county town, he can basically apologise with death.

Who would have thought that the troops of the Di tribe could bypass all the eyeliners and hide from them until the rear?

Now they can only use limited manpower to deal with the cavalry of the Di tribe.

"Just do as you say, and the others are ready to fight." Out of trust in Nan Xing, Li Shun finally agreed to her plan.

Li Shun ordered the military division to send a letter to the court on his behalf, asking for reinforcements and support, and then asked the generals to return to the army to rectify the army.

Nan Xing, as the captain, will naturally return to the team.However, because of her status, she was not under the control of other captains, and she also had a private army, so she did not return to the camp with other generals, but returned to her temporary residence.

Because of the manpower problem, Li Shun only asked her to do it, but didn't give her any other people.It was the same in the past, Li Shun never divided her staff, and she used her personal guards for everything.This time is of course no exception.

Nan Xing didn't want to find out whether Li Shun looked down on him and feared him, or it was really because of the shortage of manpower.

Stop trying to figure out what these people think, and everyone can live in peace.

He ordered his men to go to Baishui to block the water with haystacks and sandbags, and after chipping away the unmelted ice on the surface, Nan Xing went to help the city wall which was under preparation for battle.

People came and went around the city wall, and all the people in the city were mobilized.Everyone is basically a military household, and they are all "veterans" who often encounter wars. Basically, they don't need to command. As long as tasks are assigned, the people will do well according to the standards.

The advantage of border cities is that the people are highly organized, even ordinary people have the quality and discipline of the army.

Nan Xing climbed up the tower and saw billowing smoke from a distance.Is it dust raised by horseshoes?She didn't know, rationality told her that it was impossible for the Di people to come into sight so quickly, but her heart kept beating.

This is the first time she has encountered such a situation after mastering the intelligence network. She has lost the preliminary information, and Nan Xing is just an ordinary captain who is good at talking on paper.

There was a sergeant passing by carrying a huge roller behind him. It may be too heavy, and some people staggered after a few steps.Nan Xing quickly pushed forward.

The role of milk and cheese is obvious since childhood.Her height is now about 1.7 meters five, no different from ordinary men.After another three years of training in the army, my strength has also increased significantly.

It's okay to replace a soldier who is about to fall.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiaolang." After the sergeants who carried the roller thanked them, they continued to move forward.Nan Xing did not leave after setting the drum with them. Instead, he rolled up his wide sleeves and the hem of his clothes, and made other preparations for defending the city with the soldiers.

As it turns out, doing some real work is a lot better than trying to figure it out yourself.After a day of high-intensity labor, Nan Xing went back to his residence and fell asleep without any time to think about other things.

A few days later, Nanxing's subordinates reported that the temporary embankment had been completed, and the traps had been set up. The Di people were already very close to Nanping City.Today, the border is turbulent, the Han Dynasty's control over the ethnic minorities is getting weaker and weaker, coupled with the colder climate, the Hu people are moving south more and more frequently.All border counties are struggling to support. Although Li Shun has sent a letter asking for help, there is a high probability that no one will send troops over.They are alone now.

After Nan Xing heard the sound of the war drum, he put on his armor and climbed up to the side wall.

Li Shun turned his head and saw Nan Xing climbing up the parapet wall, and greeted, "Captain Nan Du, come here."

Nan Xing struggled to distinguish the words on the sheriff's lips in the noisy background, dodging left and right in the crowded parapet.Beware of those sergeants who haven't bathed in months getting themselves fainted.

"Here you command, I'll go to the city gate in a while!" Li Shun saw that Nan Xing couldn't get through for a long time, so he shouted loudly, and after making sure that Nan Xing heard it, he turned and left with the two generals behind him.

The closer it was to the start of the war, the more restless the soldiers became. There were obviously a lot of people, but contrary to the noise just now, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet.The sound of panting, the sound of weapons hitting the ground, and even the sound of heartbeat became clear on the quiet female wall.

Nan Xing stood on the edge of the female wall, put his palm on the city wall, and looked at the dry moat below.In the distance, the army of the Di tribe let out a loud cry, and the entire city wall was shaking, and her palms trembled accordingly, causing her whole body to tremble a little.

"Afraid?" A relatively unfamiliar voice suddenly came from diagonally behind, it was a scholar with a beard.He has the deep eye sockets and high nose bridge of a barbarian, but his face does not lose the softness of a Han man.Probably going home, but because of the enemy's surprise attack, the scholars outside the Great Wall were trapped here.

"No." Nan Xing denied after glancing at him, "Excited." She finally knew why those men liked to fight on the battlefield, this kind of dry style mixed with the smell of blood was really addictive.Even if it's the first time she's actually facing enemy troops head-on.

"I thought that a child of your age would be scared when seeing this kind of scene." The scholar in Tsing Yi bowed slightly and saluted, "Wu Wei Jia Xu, with a good character. I have seen the captain."

"Why is Jia Xu, the poisonous man, in Nanping now?" Nan Xing scratched the timeline in his heart, and replied without showing any respect, "Luoyang Nan Xing, named Zhihuai. I have met Mr. Jia."

Jia Xu stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and said with a light smile, "I don't know what trick Captain Nandu has to block the Di tribe's army?"

I don't know if it's because of preconceived ideas, but Nan Xing always feels that the person in front of him has bad intentions.

Without answering his question, Nan Xing turned to the soldiers following him and said, "Is the flag ready?"

"It has been checked, and the people over there are all veterans, please rest assured, the Lord."

After getting an affirmative answer, Nan Xing said to Jia Dushi, who was still relatively young in front of him, "It is inevitable that the words were omitted, so let Mr. Jia read it!"

Jia Xu glanced at Nan Xing with a half-smile, "Then Xu will wait to see Captain Nan's command."

Not long after, the war drum sounded again, the sound of horseshoes sounded in the distance, and the sky was full of yellow sand.The Di army rushed over.

I don't know what's going on at the main city gate, Nan Xing can only hear the sound of killing, and the soldiers around are basically her people, and no one moves without her order.

Nan Xing ordered the archers to prepare, and with the sound of "Shoot!", more than a thousand arrow clusters were fired from the parapet, and wherever the arrow clusters went, the speed of the Di tribe cavalry slowed down visibly with the naked eye.

Once, twice, three times... The salvo didn't stop until the front row cavalry of the Di tribe had reached the edge of the moat.

Generally speaking, Hu people will not move forward when they have lost a lot of people in the early stage.They just want to strengthen some property, and it is meaningless to capture the city, too much loss is not worth the loss.

But this time is different, those cavalry should have been ordered, even if the loss is so large, they have no intention of retreating.The horseshoes had stepped onto the dry moat bed and were walking towards the city wall.

Seeing that the arrow clusters were no longer being fired on the city wall, the follow-up troops of the Di clan followed up and connected with the vanguard troops.

In the first half of the journey, some horses suddenly screamed and fell, and even the cavalry fell off the horses, either knocked unconscious on the ground, or were trampled to death by the follow-up horses who had no time to stop.

Seeing this, Jia Xu couldn't help but said, "Although the captain's move is useful, it can only solve the problem for a while. I think the leaders of the Di clan will find out soon."

As if confirming Jia Xu's words, the Di cavalry was ordered again.This time they basically all got off their horses and began to bend down to pick up the caltrops buried in the shallow layer of the river bed.Nan Xing calmly waved his hand and ordered the archers to continue shooting.

Because of the limited number of arrow clusters, this time it was not as grand as before, and only sporadic Di tribes were shot.

"Master..." Seeing the enemy getting closer, the soldiers behind Nan Xing leaned forward to remind her.

Nan Xing clenched his fist slightly, and said coldly, "Wait a little longer."

She stared at the number of troops of the Di people who had already entered the riverbed, silently counting in her heart.

Now Nan Xing could no longer hear other people's voices, and focused on the scene in front of him, not knowing how many moments had passed.

When the surrounding soldiers even started to get restless, Nan Xing shouted sharply, "Open the gate!"

Hearing her voice, the soldier holding the colorful flag not far away was shocked, and when he didn't even think about it, he moved his hands according to the training movements.

At the edge of Baishui in the distance, the soldiers who had been staring at the city wall saw the semaphore and immediately pulled the haystack to release the water.

The white river water that had been accumulated for several days gushed out immediately, filled the canal in an instant, and went straight to the moat!

After hearing the sound of roaring water, Nan Xing finally stretched his brows.He also ordered the soldiers to shoot out all the arrow clusters in their hands, and stop all the enemies in the river bed.

The final result, of course, was that as long as the soldiers of the Di tribe picked up the barbed wire in the moat, they were all submerged in the raging white water before they even had time to call for help.

Nan Xing's face finally evoked the first smile in recent days.

Not far away, there was already the sound of gold ringing from the city gate commanded by the county guard, and Nan Xing asked his adjutant to command the troops to withdraw and clean up the battlefield.

Being busy, she didn't see Jia Xu's deep look at her.

The author has something to say:

If you think there are loopholes, you can raise them in the comment area.Sometimes a stupid author may have thought of it, but he didn't write it because of space issues, or he didn't think of it at all. If it is brought up, I can explain it in the follow-up plot if possible.Try to give the cuties an explanation.

If it really doesn't work, just treat it as an empty post (I try not to do this), thank you cuties!
