Chapter 13 Rongbao

The fog is too heavy, and it is useless to light a cigarette!

The fire leader, who was in his thirties with a messy beard, ran into the door and shouted: Light the fire!Move all the firewood to the top, and there is tung oil.

Can the brothers in Rongbao see the fire?

What the hell know!Huo Chang hurriedly went to help carry Chai He while saying, "Old Gen, hurry up and run to Rongbao, afraid that if they don't see the fire."

A thin man just got up, found an iron helmet and just covered his head, and widened his eyes and said: Have you heard it clearly, is it really a horse team?Or is it the Tuyuhun horse team?If the report is wrong, the general of the brigade must peel off my skin.

Huo Chang kicked over: Damn, when you arrive, you won’t ask them to come out and watch the fire?

After hearing this, the old Gen ran out of the door, jumped out of the pit and climbed up from the opposite side, disappearing into the thick fog.The fire chief shouted: Top the door!

Several people were busy for a while, and piled up the top of the mail tower with firewood and sprinkled with tung oil. Even the Fuyuan crossbow was covered. If it really caught fire, the crossbow would definitely be scrapped, but how could it be more responsible now?

At this moment, the young man above shouted downstairs: Tuyuhun Horse Team, with a shady cover on his head, I saw... Oh!

As soon as the words finished, there were crackling sounds upstairs, like hail hitting the top.The young man above rolled down from the wooden ladder and cried: The fire is long, I'm hit by an arrow...

This young man looked at most fourteen or fifteen years old, and he didn't even have a shallow beard on his mouth. He covered his chest and cried with a sad face.

Huo Chang ran over and took a look, and saw bright red blood coming out from the younger generation's fingers.

The Huo Chang hurriedly held his hand and turned around and shouted: Don’t throw the torch up, just lit the firewood!

Huo Chang, Huo Chang, am I going to die?

The young man covered his chest with one hand and held the rough black hand tightly with the other.

The young man's nostrils and mouth were bleeding, which seemed to have hurt his internal organs.

At this time, the firewood and tung oil on the top of the whistle had already started to burn, and the raging fire made the inside of the whistle bright red and bright, and the inside of the whistle quickly warmed up.

But the ash also poured in, and the door was blocked and not ventilated, causing people in the room to cough... and cough constantly.

Huo Chang looked around in a daze. The narrow room looked dirty and messy, but after living here for such a long time, everything was so familiar.

The injured Housheng coughed out a mouthful of blood, his face full of blood and tears, and he grabbed the fire-long hand and said: I... I haven't taken a shower for several months. When the Tuyuhun people leave, can you take a shower first and then bury it?

Huo Chang reached out to his hand and wiped it on his eyelids: Take a rest, it’s okay, wait until the doctor from Rongbao can cure you, don’t think about it.

Why does it smell like urine on your hands... I coughed, and my heart was ejaculated, and I am afraid I won't be able to survive.

Huo Chang asked: Haven’t asked you yet, how many brothers are there in your family?

The young man said: Three, I am the boss.

Huo Chang patted his shoulder lightly and said: Then your family will never be able to go there.If you die in battle, the official will give you a piece of land and some money, and it will be easier for your two brothers to ask for a wife.

I'm so cold, so cold...

Bang bang bang... I remembered the loud noise of collision on the door, and it was obvious that the Tuyuhun soldiers were hitting the door.A fire broke out on the tower, without long-range defense, and the enemy soldiers quickly climbed over the trench and came to the door.

Huo Chang stood up from the injured young man, took the horizontal knife behind the iron bed, and said: Brothers, let's meet again in the underworld.

……

Rongbao is located sixty miles southwest of Shancheng.

The commander's surname is Liang. He is a strong man in his twenties. He is wearing bright armor to make Cheng Liang stand on a mound of soil in the hollowed-out area of ​​the fort.

At this time, a soldier on the wall shouted: Brigade coach, the fire is on the west side!

Liang Lushuai asked the thin man in front of him: How many people have you seen?

The thin man said: I only heard a vague sound of the horse team. Before I could take a closer look, the fog was too hot to be afraid that I would not be able to report the letter, so I quickly called me to report the letter.

The entire army prepares for war, and each brings weapons to the wall!

Dongdongdongdongdong... A rapid drum beat sounded, and many soldiers came out of a row of simple barracks one after another, and each brought weapons to the open space to line up.

After a shout, the drum sound slowed down, dong!

Dong!

A monotonous speed, but full of rhythm.

Five sergeants with swords, swords, bows and crossbows walked towards the city wall in an orderly manner with drums, with neat steps, and the footsteps of iron shoes stepping on the grass were like a rough monotonous rhythm.

Liang Lushuai took the iron helmet handed over by his subordinates, put it on his head calmly with his neck straight, tied the rope, and then walked towards the city wall.

A swan feather was inserted into the arc helmet and swayed slightly in the breeze, which was extremely soft, forming a strong contrast with the clanging iron armor.

The rising sun in the east has risen, and in the white mist like silk and curtain, the red sun is as bright as blood.The fog is becoming more and more sparse under the sun.

A dark horse team appeared in the fog. When we got closer, we could see clearly that there were two groups of people, with large groups moving northeast, and another group facing the fortress.

A man next to the two brigades commanders on the city wall stared and stuttered, saying: It’s the Tuyuhun army... Let’s hurry up and take advantage of the fact that they were not surrounded!

Calm and fire is long, there are only twelve horses here.Liang Lushuai said coldly, pointing to a young man holding the bow and arrow tightly and said, "You will take over his position."

Huo Chang next to him said in surprise: Why?

Because you're going to die.Liang Lushuai slowly pulled out the horizontal knife, stabbed it with one knife, and then slammed the blade into its abdomen, and a hissing scream suddenly sounded.

Those who disrupt the morale of the army will be killed!Those who retreat in the face of battle will be killed!

Liang Lushu raised the blood-stained horizontal sword into the air and shouted, "A real man serves the country with his own body, the deadline has come, everyone encourages you!

He ordered the horse team to leave the fortress and run northeast to return to the city to report the news.

Splash black oil on the wall.

Liang Lushuai walked down from the city wall with a knife, walked to the water tank, scooped a scoop of water to wash the horizontal knife, put it in the scabbard, said to the follower beside him, taking all the carrier pigeons.

The two walked into the wooden house and divided the work and cooperated. Liang Lushuai picked up a pen and wrote a note. After blowing it dry, the follower tied it to the pigeon's legs, and then let it go.

I wrote one picture and put a pigeon in a row, and five or six pigeons were placed in a row.

Seeing that it was almost done, Liang Lushuai threw the remaining pigeons into the brazier, and the pigeons were thrusting and struggling to death.

We can't use it anymore, don't leave it to the enemy.

They searched the house again and threw some drawings, official documents and other objects into the brazier.

There was already a loud shout outside, and the generals were starting to fight.

As soon as Liang Lushuai and his followers walked out of the wooden house, they saw arrow feathers tilting down from behind, and suddenly screamed muffled. The followers covered their throats and threw themselves to the ground, kicking their legs on the ground.

Many arrow feathers were scattered on the surrounding ground, but Liang Lushuai was unharmed.

The follower was unlucky, not wearing armor, and was shot in the back of the neck. It seemed that he was inactive. He lay on the ground and struggled in pain, covering his neck with one hand and stretching out his hand to Liang Lushuai Chang, his eyes full of tears and despair.

Everyone has to die, so you can take a step first.Liang Lushuai said coldly, pressing the handle of the knife, he walked towards the city wall with great strides.

Walking up the city wall, people like ants came from all directions, making people's scalp numb.

Most of those people were slaves of Tuyuhun nobles, with their disheveled hair like beggars, with short swords or sharpened wooden sticks in their hands, and some were holding crude bows and arrows.

The elite soldiers of Tuyuhun stood far behind, occasionally sending horses to the city, leaving after a break, without entanglement.

But the slaves died miserably. They were only wearing some animal fur or linen, and had no defense against bows and arrows. The Tang army shot wildly with crossbows, and there were also giant Pinglu crossbows and rows of crossbow arrows. The people under the city were shot so hard that they cried and called their parents. The grassland and trenches under the city were everywhere.

However, there were few soldiers in Tang, so naturally they could not prevent the enemy from approaching. After less than a stick of incense, many people's arms were already sore and their arrows became increasingly sparse.

A crossbow can only be pulled at least a few stones at a time, which is definitely not a labor-saving job. It is difficult to sustain if the number of people is small. Many Tuyuhun people have already climbed on the ladder and climbed onto the wall.

A general suggested: "Let's coach, light the fire, burn the dog to death."

Calm down, team up.Liang Lushuai said coldly with his neck straight, "The real enemy has not come up yet."We can die, but if I die one person, at least five corpses must be left behind by the enemy army!

Suddenly, he heard a strange scream. The first Tuyuhun slave climbed up the wall. He could smell the complex stench from his body far away. Maybe he had never taken a bath until he was born.

A flash of sword light, the slave's neck turned red and fell downward.Liang Lushuai said in a small voice: The command is sent, the shooting team changes the step spear, and the sword and card players line up.

At this moment, a cavalry team leaned over from the middle of the riots in the distance. This time, they did not shoot arrows like they did just now, but stopped below and did not leave because the Tang army's long-range flight had ceased.

The situation reversed, and the walls were covered with bows and arrows. Most of the Tang infantry wore inlaid armor made of metal and leather, and some held shields. Although they had defenses against the arrows, such continuous attacks still caused them to suffer continuous casualties, and the number of people was getting smaller and smaller.

Seeing that the slaves could not break through the defense line of the Tang army, the Tuyuhun Knights got off the horse and made up for it.At this moment, Liang Lushuai ordered: Light the black oil!

The sparks flashed like a few lights, and then it was called a prairie fire. The black oil on the city walls and in the trenches immediately ignited a fire, and the black smoke spread, making it seem like a thick layer of haze was covered with the sky above the castle.

The enemy soldiers screamed, their bodies were lit and they fell down one after another, and some of them had fire all over their bodies and ran around or rolled on the ground.

From a distance, they were like those performing and playing operas in the market, dancing ghostly dances in the fire.

The black smoke carries the stinking of burning plastic and flesh.

……

The thick fog between the earth was shining with the sunlight, and now it has almost dissipated. The faint mist on the field is like a dream, and the white silk on the waist of the hillside is like a white cloud.

The sun shines brightly, making the whole world shine brightly, as if it has entered a fairyland. There is a faint sound covering the earth, but it is not the sound of nature, but the sound of sin of attacking and killing.

More people appeared in the distance of Rongbao, and the entire wilderness seemed to be full of people, which was even more spectacular than the scene of all animals migrating when encountering grassland wildfires.

In front of the sedan chair carried by sixteen people, Fu Lu, who was riding on the horse, shouted in anger: Haven’t you taken down the Rong Castle yet?!

A man knelt in front of the horse and said tremblingly: The Tang people resisted stubbornly, and gave me some time to quickly level the fort.

Conquer within one stick of incense.Fu Lu waved his whip. They were not scared to death, so why are they still staying here?The place of hundreds of people is also slow, it is useless!

At this time, the young Khan in the sedan chair said lightly: Da Xiang should know more about the habits of the Tang people. Their ideas are different from ours. In their opinion, integrity is much more important than personal life.

Fu Lu Dao: They are all raised by their parents, and they can still die if stabbed in by a knife.

The general kneeling on the ground received the order and rode his horse to the front line, heading straight to the fort gate: There is only one stick of incense, get the elite soldiers!Break the door and rushed in.If I am punished, you don’t think about it!

After a while, another group of men and horses were sent from the Tuyuhun camp. They all carried wooden round shields and protected a car crash and moved forward slowly.

The big tree trunk was covered with people with shields on both sides, making them group together like a thick and short centipede crawling.

In front of the door, stones were pushed down from the garrison buildings on both sides. Large stones hit the shield and could not stop them. Many people were injured, but soon others went to repair the feet, making the big centipede still a big centipede.

Dong, Dong... The dull sound is like a broken and big drum hitting.

At this time, the upper body threw down many clay pots, and after they broke, they were covered with black oil. Then a torch was thrown down and the fire started to ignite.The cries and shouts were in a mess, which made people panic when they heard it.

There were people shouting at me from behind. After a while, the living people around him leaned against the big tree trunk from both sides with shields and combined again. The centipede was extremely firm, as if it could not be beaten to death.

... Liang Lushuai on the wall looked silently in front of the door for a while, and suddenly said: Passing the order, all living people are down from the wall and line up in front of the door!

After saying that, he turned around and walked down the ladder, came to the mound, grabbed the flagpole and walked over.I saw two big words written on the flag: Tang Dynasty.

The troops came to the flat ground inside the gate one after another and sent several columns. At first, a brigade officer and soldier who were neatly dressed in tidy clothes now had dozens of scarred and disheveled people left. They were already in a mess, but the queue was still standing neatly, which meant that they were an army.

Dong, Dong!The door was shaking.

It's time.Liang Lushuai grinned happily, slowly pulled out his sword, pointed at the battle flag and shouted, Long live the Tang Dynasty!

Long live!Long live... The troops shouted, as if they were not at the end of the road, but were celebrating victory, and their morale was greatly boosted.

Attack formation.

Get order!

boom!The door collapsed, and a stream of yellow dust rose.After a short period of silence, no one rushed in immediately, but after a moment, the horse's hooves suddenly sounded, and a group of cavalry rushed in screaming.

kill!

With a loud shout, dozens of wounded soldiers rushed forward.

The stairs were in front of the line, and the sword, shield and hand followed.

The cavalry in front of Tuyuhun suddenly fell on their backs, and the horses neighed and screamed and shouted in the sky.

But more horse soldiers came in, some rushed forward, and some detoured from the flanks.

In less than a moment, the remaining soldiers of the Tang army, who had many enemies and were few, were destroyed and were surrounded by enemy troops and shot them with bows and arrows, and they were soon killed and injured.

The corpse was all over the ground, swords, guns, hooks and cards were scattered all over the ground, and the broken war horse was lying on the ground and whining.

Liang Lushu became the commander of the bare hands and was surrounded by enemy troops. Because he was holding the battle flag tightly in his hand, there was one last person left, and the enemy soldiers did not shoot him immediately.

Surrender, you will avoid death!An enemy general shouted in awkward Chinese.People of all ethnic groups who are close to the Tang Dynasty, most of whom can speak Chinese with some identities.

Liang Lushuai's helmet with beautiful swan feathers was gone where he had gone. His hair was spread out and he sat on the ground with his hair disheveled.

He stabbed the knife on the ground and stood up staggeringly, suddenly tilted his head and laughed loudly, as if he was extremely happy.

The Tuyuhun people were shocked.

He took a deep breath, inserted the battle flag into the ground, lifted up the horizontal knife and limped over.

Put down your weapons!stop!

Wow... A bow and arrow flew in close proximity, and his strength penetrated the armor. Liang Lushuo turned into a hedgehog, looking east with his last breath, his body tilted.

I wonder what is in the east, his wife or lover girl, waiting for him to go back and lingering sweetly?

The battle was over, and the world suddenly became much quieter. The shallow voice was the pain of the wounded soldiers, and it was like the poet's humming.

It seems like there is a faint singing voice...

My good man went yesterday, but the bright moon was not full.

When we parted, we each had tears, falling in front of the brothel.

Your tears are wet with silk scarves, and my tears are filled with dust on the road.

The silk scarf is long in my hand, and I have to follow me now.

The dust on the road is like the wind, and I can get on the wheels of your car.

The Qianli Road on Longyou is as close as the middle threshold.

Sometimes when the middle gate is beyond, Longyou grows in the eyes.

Born under the Green Luo, I don’t know the Longyou Road.

A good man comes from his own guard and comes in his dreams every night...

At this point, the entire Tang army in Rongbao was killed, but nearly ten times the body was left inside and outside the castle.The Tuyuhun people seemed to feel something terrifying, unable to touch or see, like divine power.

……

Beside the winding river, an ancient city is silently located, and a horse is rushing away as it thinks of the city, dancing a stream of smoke and dust.

The three small flags on his back crackled in the wind, and there were a few arrow feathers on his back. As soon as he arrived at the city, he rolled down from his horse and shouted with a neighing voice: Rongbao urgently reported!Please see Zhang Shou capture!

Release the suspension bridge quickly.A man shouted in the city.

After the suspension bridge was put down, the man lay on the ground and struggled for a while but couldn't get up. After a while, three more horses ran out of the door. The knight on the horse turned over and dismounted. The two of them lifted the injured soldier and left, and the other one led the horse behind.
