Chapter 54: The Real Test

Lingzhou's newly renovated Lingwu Eighty Town, although it is called Zhenbao, is actually not a traditional dock fort, because the cost of building a dock fort is too high, even if there is free labor and building materials, it is not easy to build a dock fort in the real sense. At the beginning, Chen Ying was stationed in Lingzhou and didn't think about it so much.

Chen Ying has six Zhichong Mansions of the Dingyuan Army under his command, as well as the cavalry of the six Zhichong Mansions of the Lingwu Army, these forces, even if the Turks attack Lingzhou, they have to weigh it, not to mention Liang Shidu. Passive defense has never been Chen Ying's habit, Chen Ying's habit is to replace defense with offense, so the defense of Lingwu Eighteen Towns is actually very pitiful.

A blue brick city wall on the periphery, a blue brick wall on the inner layer, the middle is not more than six feet wide, the soil is filled and tamped, it becomes the city wall of the town fort, this wall is not more than one zhang or two feet high, if you say to defend against wild beasts, it is naturally enough. However, it is actually very difficult to prevent an attack. Not to mention the ladder, even if you take a human ladder, you can easily climb into it.

In the face of an army armed to the teeth, the fort can actually play a limited defensive power. The reason why Chen Ying built this fort in the first place was only to guard against the Turkic rangers or small troops, you must know that without this city wall, a mere hundred rangers could slaughter a fort.

The only advantage is that this town fort is built at the four corners, and an enemy tower has been built. The enemy tower is about three feet high, which can provide dozens of soldiers with a rest. There are also a lot of materials for defending the city. Of course, every town fort has a beacon tower, which can be lit with wolf smoke or bonfires when attacked, and passed from fort to fort, and can call for support from Lingzhou City.

When the seventeenth town fort faintly appeared in the snowy night, Liang Luoren complained and Xin Fang'er said: "This village is not small, I will hand it over to you, and when you build this village, the food and women in it will belong to you!" ”

Xin Fang'er was originally a Qiang person, and in the last years of the great cause, he took refuge in Liang Shidu, and was named Zhonglang General by Liang Shidu. The officials under the command of Liang Shidu are actually rotten streets, and in the Tang Dynasty, the general Lang was from the military attache position of the fourth grade, and was the commander of the Sixteen Guards Guard. It is a high-level military position, but the Zhonglang general under the command of Liang Shidu is just an official position between General Pi and the captain, although he commands thousands of people, but it is only equivalent to a regimental-level officer in later generations.

Xin Fang'er's originally lifeless face, when she heard this, a green light immediately appeared.

"Really?"

"What a lie to you!"

Xin Fang'er said: "I want to get some food. ”

Liang Luoren said: "That's not good, the brothers have no food, and the food in the village must be handed over to me for distribution, but don't worry, your troops will be the first, and when you are full, you will give it to others." ”

Xin Fang'er looked at the candlelit town fort and did not speak. Obviously dissatisfied with Liang Luoren's distribution plan.

Liang Luoren waved his hand impatiently and said, "That's it, take the village, give you half of the grain, and all the women and money will be yours!" ”

Xin Fang'er was ecstatic and ran to the back to convey the order and prepare to attack.

Li Zhengbao looked at Xin Fang'er's distant back, spit at Xin Fang'er's back, and said angrily: "It's cheaper for this Qiang slave!" ”

"Cheap? Hum! Liang Luoren said coldly: "I'm afraid it's really hard to take advantage of this cheapness!" ”

"That's it?" Li Zhengbao said disapprenously: "At most, I will take it down for the general!" ”

"It's not a good habit to underestimate enemies!" Liang Luoren pointed to the enemy building with the candle flame swaying and said: "Our seven thousand and eight people have made such a big move, and now the village can still not react?" ”

Li Zhengbao was stunned.

Liang Luoren said with a smile: "Unless the village is full of dead people, this hard walnut can really break the two teeth of this Qiang slave!" ”

Song Wusao's sister-in-law looked at a group of people under the city wall slowly rushing over, and suddenly felt inexplicable, these enemies had no ladders, no shields, and even the action of releasing arrows to suppress the cover of the city wall was saved.

"What are they doing here?"

"Looks like they want to climb the wall to get in!" Mu Xiuling was not nervous, but said excitedly.

"Our walls are only one foot and two feet, although they are short, do they really think we are dead?" Fifth sister-in-law Song looked at the village warriors who were hiding under the women's wall, and her face was full of excitement.

These men and women who have endured inhuman torture for years or more than ten years in the hands of the Turks have long ceased to regard themselves as human beings, they feel that they can live for a day and earn money, and now they are finally living a good life, and they are a little hopeful, who wants to let them fight back to the past, unless they step on their corpses.

The Qiang tribe under the command of Xin Fang'er began to speed up, and he was originally prepared to withstand three or four waves of arrow rain attacks on the city wall, but unexpectedly, the city wall was still lonely, and he couldn't even see a single figure.

"Perhaps, the people in the stockade have run out, or they are asleep!" Xin Fang'er comforted herself.

However, when Xin Fang'er's troops were divided into groups of ten, kneeling and standing in two, forming a simple ladder of people, with less than three feet left, they jumped enough to jump onto the city wall.

Just when the first Qiang soldier touched the battlements of the city wall, the entire city wall suddenly came to life. Hundreds of men and women carrying wooden basins, barrels, or iron pots got up neatly and poured their hands down the city wall on Xin Fang'er's body.

The current weather is almost like ice, and the water is poured on the Xin Fang'er Qu that the ants climb, and the sourness is gone.

It had turned into a slowly cooling hot water, and at this time, a thin skin of jelly had begun to appear on the surface of the water, and the enemy soldiers who had just fallen on the city wall immediately began to freeze into ice.

Although it is not like the golden juice, which is heart-wrenching, it is also uncomfortable. The soldiers who were so cold that they were splashed with cold water like this, and before they could fire an arrow, Xin Fang'er's offensive collapsed.

The two or three hundred people who were splashed with water immediately lost their combat effectiveness, and in such a cold weather, their whole bodies were soaked, and their vitality quickly disappeared with the body temperature on their bodies.

"Cold, cold, fucking cold!" Xin Fang'er's hand was instantly frozen unconscious, and the mace in his hand survived and was thrown away in time, but despite this, he still tore off a piece of flesh and skin in his palm.

The formation in front was in disarray, and the soldiers also screamed, and at this time, the defenders, who were still under the basins and barrels, took up their hunting bows and shot the enemy under the city as if they were hunting. Unlike usual hunting, this time they shot not at animals, but at living people.

Dozens of soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and others hurriedly retreated. However, the two or three hundred people who served as human ladders under the city wall could not be withdrawn at all, and they were already frozen together with the city wall.

Those Xin Fang'er tribes frozen under the city walls, although they struggled desperately, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not break free from the frozen power.

Mu Xiuling picked up a wooden arrow and shot it at the wailing soldiers under the city wall. Just as the arrow in her hand was about to be released, Song Wu's sister-in-law stopped her: "Don't waste arrows!" ”

One lost two or three hundred people in front of him, and he was so angry that Xin Fang'er screamed.

Liang Luoren and Li Zhengbao, who were watching the battle behind, looked at each other and smiled. Li Zhengbao was in front of Xin Fang'er, looked at Xin Fang'er with disdain and said, "You stay and fight, yes, I tell you how to fight!" ”

Hearing this, Xin Fang'er was even more furious.

He ran to the front of his own formation, and roared, these Qiang soldiers took knives one after another, and cut their faces with blood, and these people formed a charging formation again, but for Xin Fang'er was not a completely brainless person, he ordered his archers to desperately pour arrows on the city wall.

For a time, arrows rained down. The defenders on the walls were so suppressed that they could not raise their heads.

Song Wu's sister-in-law said to the villagers beside her: "Quickly light the bonfire and let Yang Yuanjun prepare early!" ”

The five soldiers on the beacon got the signal and hurriedly poured the fierce fire oil into a cauldron and lit it. The real role of the Eighteen Town Fort is actually to serve as the beacon tower of Lingzhou City, and when it encounters an enemy attack, it transmits information with wolf smoke during the day and uses the bonfire as the signal at night.

Originally, when the oil was burned, it would emit a lot of smoke and it was easy to extinguish. Chen applied the distillation method and the soil method to refine the oil, and obtained the fierce fire oil as much as water, which can burn more than ten zhang of fire as long as it is lit, and is the best way to transmit information at night.

As early as after the bonfire of the seventeenth town fort was lit, the sixteenth town fort in the northeast immediately discovered the enemy situation of the seventeenth town fort, and quickly lit the bonfire, like a baton, one town fort passed the next town fort, and in just half an hour, Lingzhou City found the enemy situation.

Recently, Yang Ze was worried that Liang Shidu or the Turks would take advantage of the situation, which made him a little nervous. Every night when he went to bed, he slept very lightly. When hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, Yang had already woken up.

He hurriedly put on his clothes, and at this moment the voice of the attendant sounded outside the door: "Envoy, the enemy is attacking!" ”

If the fist did not fall, but Yang Ze was the most nervous, and when the fist came out, Yang Ze was calm. Liang Shidu actually thought of a sneak attack, so the soldiers would come to block it, and the water would come to Tutun.

……

Whenever you underestimate the enemy, you will suffer a big loss. Just like Xin Fang'er, he didn't look at the seventeenth town fort at all in the first place, thinking that such a village could be taken without much effort, but by Song Wu's sister-in-law, he was watered with cold water, and a burst of random arrows was shot, and Xin Fang'er lost two or three hundred people.

Xin Fang'er paid attention to the Seventeenth Town Fort, but after a setback, his troops were demoralized. On the contrary, the Seventeenth Town Fort was in full swing.

When Xin Fang'er climbed the city wall again, Song Wu's sister-in-law asked people to throw down quicklime, and the entire town fort was filled with white dust, and the unknown soldiers subconsciously rubbed their eyes with their hands, so the tragedy happened, at least hundreds of blind people, and it was instantaneous.

At this time, even Xin Fang'er was tricked. Even if he wanted to fight, he was powerless.

The sky gradually brightened, and the corpses under the city wall were frozen into ice sculptures. On the crystal clear ice sculpture, each corpse had a strange expression on its face.

Fifth sister-in-law Song looked at the soldiers of the Liang Army who were slowly arrayed outside the city, and her face became solemn.

The real test is coming.
