Lingwu is a real small city on the side, only a hundred miles away from the city of Seoul. This is the ideal distance for a night attack, and Yun Xiao has set up his Chinese army here.

The Hui soldiers of Longyou made Yun Xiao feel terrible, and the soldiers were as timid as rats and skinny as firewood. The lieutenants only knew how to bully the already pitiful soldiers.

There is a shortage of tents and camps. Anyway, it seems that there is a lack of everything here, and since he saw these Hui soldiers in Yan'an Mansion, Yun Xiao has started to have a headache. These guys were not enthusiastic about Liu Qi's conscription order, just to complete their military service. According to the law of the Great Han Dynasty, they could serve for three years after this military service.

It is not in line with the laws of the economy to fight for Liu Qi's boss, the horses must be prepared by themselves, the armor must be prepared by themselves, and the winter clothes must be prepared by themselves. Fortunately, Boss Liu Qi also gave him a weapon, otherwise Yun Xiao would really see the Hui soldiers who went into battle with dung forks.

These Longyou soldiers are all so poor that they are so poor that they only have one breath left. The clothes were in tatters, and the horses were not at all. I can't find a single horse in the entire barracks, and if there is, I'm afraid it will be gnawed to bones. As for the armor, what is it? Many people have never seen a complete set of armor in their lives.

In stark contrast to Yunxiao's camp, the barracks of Longyoubing stink. These guys are used to defecating in the open, and when they're done with a big thing, they can pick a tukara and wipe it off. Due to the large number of people, many tukaras have traces of reuse.

Where are 8,000 soldiers, it's simply 8,000 pigs. Liu Cheng kept scratching his ears and cheeks, and Yun Xiao wondered if this guy was infected with lice by them.

The situation couldn't be worse. Liu Qi is a stingy soldier, and the soldiers can eat, and whenever they eat, they can always see the soldiers holding bowls with large heads around the room. Lingwu's grain stock is rapidly disappearing, and the grain transportation team from Chang'an is always a drop in the bucket. There is no way that they also have to eat, and in the Western Han Dynasty, where the wooden ox and the flowing horse were not invented, the transportation cost was very high. Ten percent of the grain can only reach six or seven percent after thousands of miles of transportation. The rest was eaten by the people on the way.

"Boil water, boil water, Lao Tzu wants to take a bath."

Returning from the camp of the Longyou Army, Yun Xiao felt itchy all over. I always felt that some strange little creatures had crept through the cracks in the armor. Yun Xiao swore that this was the dirtiest army he had ever seen. If there is enough charcoal. He really wanted to put these pig-like creatures in boiling water and dehaired them one by one.

"It's not the army, it's the pig. That's eight thousand pigs. It's not a barracks, it's a fucking pigsty......"

Yun Xiao's room was full of vicious swearing, and Liu Qi didn't dare to scold. However, these little shrimps were not in Yun Xiao's eyes, and the general scolded his subordinates. What kind of bird is this? If you don't like it, pull it out and one or two are not a big deal.

No wonder the Han army always loses battles. This virtuous army can win battles. That's simply Amitabha God blessed.

Liu Qi's order did not dare to disobey, and it has been half a month since he came to Lingwu. The will of urging has been issued twice, and it seems that Li Guang and Cheng are fighting very hard from time to time. Command half a million such Han troops. Against the Huns, who were like more than 300,000 tigers and wolves. It's really difficult for Li Guang and Cheng from time to time. If it weren't for the well-built fortified city, it is estimated that Li Guang and Cheng's bones would have been able to beat the drum from time to time.

The warm bath water was comfortable, and Yun Xiao buried his head in the big wooden barrel. There was a bubble, and my head was much clearer.

We can't let things go like this, we have to find a way to boost the morale of these guys. To deal with these pure illiterates, persuasion and education is simply playing the harp to the cow. If you want to come, you can come to something practical, and real gold and platinum must not be taken out of your own pocket. Every copper plate of the Yun family is hard-earned money, and Yun Xiao feels distressed when he spends it in vain.

"Master Hou, Batu is back."

Canghu was stopped by Dai Yu at the door, and he was so anxious that he hurriedly stood at the door and shouted.

Yun Xiao came out of the barrel with a spirit, and it was this old boy who was waiting for him.

There was no time to put on the helmet and armor, Yun Xiao trembled and put on his clothes and recruited all the generals in.

Batu took a sip of steamed wine to warm himself up, and then pointed to the map and drew it.

"We got in disguised as a caravan, and the lord of the city, Tuka, was very greedy for money. I gave him some gold, and the guy let me go in and out of Seoul as I pleased.

The walls of Hancheng are indeed tall, and the Hou Ye said that there are more than ten zhang. I've been up and seen it, and I'm afraid it's more than that. There were six gates, two on the west and two on the north, and two on the south and east. Originally, 20,000 people were stationed here, and they often harassed the Han and Korean borders.

However, this time, in order to defeat the Han army in one fell swoop, Da Shan Yu took away most of the soldiers and horses. Only about 5,000 people remained in the city, and there were usually 200 to 300 men guarding the six gates. However, if it is wartime. Even if we have 20,000 or 30,000 people to defend the city, we may not be able to attack it. ”

Batubi gave a rough picture of the situation of drinking Seoul, and Yun Xiao's eyebrows twisted into a big pimple.

"There are battlements of arrows on the walls, and there is an arrow tower every thirty or fifty paces. They were armed with crossbow arrows, and it seems that they were all captured by the Han army. The city was well stocked with food and ordnance, most of which also came from captured Han troops. ”

Yun Xiao's nose was almost crooked, and Liu Qi was also a transport captain.

After listening to Batu's words, the generals fell silent. Fortified cities, fierce defenders, and ample provisions. This is simply a city that is difficult to conquer, relying on these 8,000 Long right soldiers. I'm afraid I don't have to fight, I'll run out.

Yun Xiao looked at the topographic map that Batu brought back, and kept thinking in his head. The generals continued to discuss around the topographic map and study how to attack the city.

"You said that there are only one or two hundred people stationed at each city gate in normal times?"

Yun Xiao touched his chin and asked Batu.

"Well, there are about three hundred people at the south gate and the east gate. There were only one or two hundred men at both the west gate and the north gate, and they changed their guard every morning, and I observed that for ten days there was no exception. ”

Batu affirmed.

Yun Xiao nodded, a smile on the corner of his mouth. It seems that it should be possible to take this Seoul Castle.

When a red sun rose, Batu appeared in front of the gate of the city of Seoul with his clansmen in a bravaful manner. In his ranks, there were two or three hundred gray-faced Han people tied in strings. Many had blue noses and swollen faces, and their bodies were covered in blood. Some of them still limped when they walked, and Batu's people kept whipping them from behind, driving them like sheep.

"Noble Batu, what did you go to do yesterday. How did you capture so many Han Chinese. One of the people on duty greeted him with a smile.

This noble Batu is a friend of the city lord, but he can't afford to mess with him.

"Oh, hehe. Da Shan Yu fought in the east, and the Han emperor also increased the garrison of Lingwu on the opposite side. Yesterday I intercepted a patrolling Han army and killed more than a hundred. The rest caught so much like sheep, and it seems that there is a good harvest today. These guys can sell for a lot of money, and this is a reward for you. Today you Uncle Batu are happy, hahaha. ”

Batu shook his hand and threw a wine gourd to Na Qu, and Qu reached out to take it and hurriedly thanked him. I used to receive a reward from Lord Batu, and I heard that Lord Batu made a fortune by selling wine. His wine is truly the best wine in the world, and he has never drunk such a good wine.

The Han people are good, and there is endless food to grab. There is also such a pure wine, and the woman is even more beautiful. It's a pity that the city lord is not allowed to loot, otherwise he will also bring some of his subordinates back. Sell some money, and you can go to the brothel in the city and hang out with those girls from the Western Regions.

Ignoring the obscenity of Hequ, Batu rode his horse and walked in front of a hundred horsemen. A large bag of copper coins smashed on the poplar table with a "bang".

"According to the rules, a Han slave is taxed at thirty Wen. Don't look for it, the extra is yours. Batu said domineeringly, with his curly beard in his beard.

The captain of the hundred horses, who was originally on business, suddenly smiled like a flower, and showed a bright smile at Batu.

"That's embarrassing."

said that he was embarrassed, but the big money bag was carried into his arms. (To be continued......)
