Nightwatcher Chapter 83: Games
"I don't know when the grain and grass will arrive. The grain and grass in Songshan County will last at most ten days. This is still the situation where the defenders tighten their belts and force the soldiers to chew their heads... .."
Listening to Mosang and Miao Youfang discussing how to get a champion after the war, Xu Erlang was thinking about food and grass.
The soldiers of the Power Gu Ministry and the Flying Beast Army of the Heart Gu Ministry directly ate up Songshan County.
Flying beasts don’t talk about it, it’s understandable that the size is there and the appetite is big. But the clansmen of the Ligu tribe made the defenders of Songshan County "shocked into heaven."
The defenders were eating bowls in their hands, while the soldiers of the Ligu Division were eating, and they were surrounded by rice buckets.
During the war, the defenders ate three meals a day, and usually two meals.
The soldiers of the Ligu Division eat four meals a day and five meals during the war.
Xu Erlang originally had a certain degree of psychological preparation. After all, Lina and Lingyin both had scalp numb for the mother who ate, and the Xu family is now very wealthy.
What's more, there are four hundred force Gu Ministry fighters.
However, Xu Erlang still underestimated the appetite of the Ligu Division fighters. It was inaccurate that he used Lina and Lingyin's usual appetite as a reference. .
Because of the stupid sister and her stupid master, they can only laugh and laugh, without consumption.
How can it be compared with a warrior who licks blood?
"As long as I get food and grass supplements, I can always guard Songshan County." Xu Xinnian secretly said.
Dafeng’s artillery and bed crossbows are responsible for the fire coverage, the flying beast army of the Heart Gu Department throws blows from high altitude, the corpse controller of the Corpse Gu Department manipulates the dead who are not afraid of life and death, and the people of the Dark Gu Department are responsible for assassination.
The Ministry of Strength Gu is responsible for cleaning up the enemy forces that climbed to the head of the city.
Cooperating with his commanding ability of Xu Erlang, the guard of Songshan County is solid.
Now the rebels outside the city, 9,000 elite, and 20,000 miscellaneous troops have changed their strategy, from siege to siege, trying to make Songshan County the second Wan County.
It is worth mentioning that the miscellaneous army is a militia composed of the common people, composed of refugees and young men who have been conscripted into the army, and the leader is the people from the rivers and lakes recruited by the Yunzhou rebels.
"Last time I heard Erlang say that as long as the Spring Festival is over, Qingzhou's state will improve?"
Miao Youfang has one mind and two purposes, playing chess and chatting, thinking that he is really a genius.
"The situation in the entire Central Plains will improve. The cold disaster is the main reason, followed by the lack of food, which has caused the chaos. Once the spring begins, first of all, the cold can no longer threaten the people."
Xu Cijiu was holding the book, put the half-eaten Wowotou by the table, saving some food, and said:
"Secondly, farming is the people's instinct. Only in the spring can harvest in autumn. Many refugees will choose to pick up the **** again. As long as the court takes out the abandoned land and redistributes it, a large part of the refugees can be solved.
"But when the time comes, there must be countless squires and nobles who will take the opportunity to annex the land and not leave a way for the people to stay alive. It depends on the Yongxing Emperor's courage enough."
Speaking of this, he wrinkled his exquisite eyebrows. The new gentleman is good at everything, but he is not good at being bold and conserved.
I can't count on doing big things.
If Emperor Yongxing could secretly "sacrifice" squires and nobles, powerful landlords, and those who annexed the land after the beginning of the spring, the number would be drastically reduced.
"If after the Spring Festival, we still fail to hold it?"
Miao Youfang habitually raises the bar: "Will you die in Songshan County or run away?"
Mossang raised his chest and raised his head:
"The soldiers of the Ligu Division will not run away. If I die in the Central Plains, remember to help me send the bones back to Southern Xinjiang and give them to my dad."
Miao Youfang looked at Xu Erlang again, who groaned and said:
"Following the fate of everyone, if it is really necessary to die, Xu, as a scholar, can naturally give up his life for righteousness. What about you, Brother Miao?"
"How could I die in battle? I will become a hero in the future. Well, if there is such a day, remember to engrave the word "Hero" on my tombstone. Then tell Xu Yinluo for me I'm sorry."
Miao Youfang thought for a while, and said: "By the way, I have to burn a few handmaid paper figures for me every year. Even if this hero is in the underworld, he wants to sleep with a woman."
Xu Cijiu shook his head, keeping his eyes on the book of war, and reaching out to grab Wowotou, but he caught nothing.
Huh? He turned his head to see that the table was empty, then looked up and saw Mossan chewed twice, swallowed Wowotou, and then pretended nothing happened, and seriously played chess with Miao Youfang.
Cheng Bi Niang Zhi Fei Yue..........Xu Xinnian cursed secretly, without emotion on the surface, said:
"Brother Mossang, when I see you, I always think of Lingmei."
The dark-skinned Mossan looked back blankly and said:
"How to say?"
He knew that Xu Xinnian was Xu Yinluo's younger brother, and he also knew that Lina had stayed at Xu's house for more than half a year.
Xu Erlang looked sincere:
"Brother Mossang and Lina are the most pure people, and they have carried forward the "food for the people" to the fullest. If all people in the world can be like your brothers and sisters, Kyushu has long been doing nothing. There will be so many wars."
Mo Sang did not expect that he and his sister would get Xu Xinnian, the two-ranked scholar, so praised, he was very happy, haha smiled and said:
"Mrs. Xu is overwhelmed, she is dull for her brother and can't afford it. It's Lina, my dad often praised her for being smart when she was young."
Does your father have any misunderstandings about "being smart at a young age"...Xu Xinan nodded and read quietly.
Miao Youfang felt that Xu Erlang had something in his words, but he had no evidence.
Speaking of Lina, Mo Sang talked about **** increase, said:
"You have been patronizing the war these days. You are all mixing in the Central Plains. Do you know what my sister Lina's name is in the Central Plains?"
Is it a rice bucket...Xu Erlang subconsciously complained.
Miao Youfang did not participate in Tucao because he was not familiar with Lina. Otherwise, he could say "the ugliest sister-in-law" of low-level survival desire, and now he may have started a rap about Tucao Lina around Mosang. .
"What's the nickname?"
Miao Youfang took advantage of Mo Sang's head to look at Xu Erlang, and secretly exchanged a chess piece with the ability of turning energy.
Missang listened to his chest, gathered the tips of his tongue, and spit out like a Buddhist mantra, "Swallow Swallow!"
"What?!"
Xu Erlang raised his head in amazement.
Miao Youfang stared at Mosang dumbfoundedly.
Mossan is very satisfied with their stunned expressions, with their chests up and their heads up:
"Lina spent half a year in the rivers and lakes. She is loved by you people in the Central Plains and is called the Feiyan Swordswoman."
Xu Cijiu is worthy of being a scholar, his face is as usual, and he slowly said:
"Who told you."
"Lina said it herself." Mossan replied.
Just as Miao Youfang was about to unravel, he saw Xu Erlang winking at himself, so he asked by voice:
"What's wrong?"
Xu Cijiu hasn't mastered the technique of sound transmission and secret secrets yet, just shook his head slightly.
Understood, Erlang meant to wait for Mo Sang to make a big announcement, and then watch his jokes, now it’s not hot yet, and the excitement is not big enough...Miao Youfang followed Xu Qi'an and didn’t go for nothing. .
Suddenly thought of Shengzi.
When the battle is over, tell him, otherwise it will affect his fighting spirit and morale...Xu Erlang thought.
At this moment, the roar of the black scale flying beast came, and then the wind broke out. The three people in the city knew that an army of flying beasts had landed on the top of the city.
Wait for a while, the sound of hurried footsteps from far to near, a Heart Gu master wearing a vine armor rushed in and said to Mo Sang in the Southern Xinjiang language.
Miao Youfang and Xu Erlang looked at Mo Sang, the latter bounced up, speaking in a more and more fluent Central Plains Mandarin:
"The rebels ten miles away rendezvous with reinforcements and are coming here."
...........
Guo County.
The Qingzhou army stationed in Tanglin City, after a half-month-long field battle with the Yunzhou rebels, lost 60% of its soldiers, and finally couldn't hold it back. It withdrew from the border of Tanglin and settled in the neighboring Guo County.
Their enemies are the two elite troops of "Black Armor" and "Green Python" led by Ji Xuan, plus three thousand miscellaneous troops.
The Black Armed Forces consisted of 600 heavy cavalry and 2,300 light cavalry.
The green python is four thousand elite foot soldiers, equipped with eighty artillery, thirty bed crossbows, and two thousand fire guns and crossbows.
Such a well-equipped and brave division is naturally not something that the Qingzhou Army can contend with.
Even though Sun Xuanji brought a lot of firearms and equipment before going to Qingzhou, the facts proved that the army of the Qingzhou Guarding Post was far less powerful than the elite divisions in Yunzhou.
The Qingzhou Army is not the trump card of the Dafeng army, but it is facing one of the elite troops of the rebels.
In terms of mid-level combat power, the defender of Dongling is still inferior to the elite troops led by Ji Xuan.
The only one who can bring the situation back is Sun Xuanji, the third rank warlock.
It is true that the personal combat power of a warlock is far less than that of a martial artist of the same rank, but in terms of destructive power, in the realm of the third rank, the warlock is the second, and no one dares to be the first.
Yuan Hufa, with a thick white hair, walked at the head of the city and said when he met everyone:
"The Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons has been rebuilt."
The Dongling Army has long been familiar with this monster ally, and loves and hates him. What he loves is his powerful combat power in the fourth stage, and he is a reliable comrade in arms.
What I hate is that this comrade-in-arms will "stab" you anytime and anywhere.
In the early morning of this morning, the news of the restoration of the Southern Demon returned to Qingzhou. Yuan Hufa was ecstatic, standing at the top of the city and crying to the sky, expressing his joy.
Then talk about it when everyone meets.
"Congratulations, Ten Thousand Demons Country is a good ally of my Dafeng."
A centurion smiled eagerly at the guard Yuan who approached him.
Yuan Hufa looked at him with an unhappy expression and said:
"Your heart tells me: This dead monkey is endless."
"........." The Centurion's face suddenly flushed, not knowing whether to explain or treat it as if he didn't hear him, embarrassingly wanted to leave his post.
Fortunately, Guardian Yuan didn't make things difficult for him. He walked away wisely and announced the good news to other defenders he knew.
"Oh!"
The centurion sighed while looking at the back of Guardian Yuan.
I don't know if Guo County can hold it, and how long it can hold it. The bones of the brothers who died in the field were too late to be collected.
At this moment, there was a loud noise in the sky, and a red light exploded high in the sky.
This is a signal of an enemy attack, and the person who sent the signal was Sun Xuanji, who used the technique of watching Qi to warn the enemy in the fort floating above Guo County.
............
Wan County.
Counting it down, Wan County has been under siege for a month.
During this period, the rebels attacked the city on and off dozens of times. The Qingzhou chief envoy dispatched troops and sent troops to support him many times, but was completely exhausted by the Yunzhou army.
It was not until the Flying Beast Army from the Heart Gu Department arrived that this decline was reversed.
But for the defenders stationed in Wan County, exhaustion has deepened into their bones. They are the best fighters, and they are eager to end this beast-like struggle as soon as possible.
For Zhang Shen, a warrior who has lived in seclusion for more than 20 years, it is really a shame to be forced into such a predicament in the first battle.
Even though he is alone and helpless, he has kept Wanjun until now, and he lives up to his reputation.
Zhang Shen climbed up to the top of the city and looked around. The city wall was covered with potholes, scorch marks, and cracks blasted by artillery. In some places, a gap was even opened, and the female wall was completely destroyed, as if a tooth was broken. People.
More than half of the defenders were killed and injured, and the militia was forcibly recruited, and now more than half of the militiamen were killed and injured.
The dark clouds of war shrouded this small city~IndoMTL.com~The blue sky, a giant beast flapped its wings and flew towards Wan County.
The giant beast slowly landed on the head of the city by gliding, and the Heart Gu Master riding on its back said to Zhang Shen:
"Thirty miles to the south, there are a large number of enemy troops approaching."
After the Flying Beast Army came to help, Zhang Shen, who took the time to learn Nanjiang for a few days, nodded solemnly, and said in a fluent Nanjiang dialect:
"My official got it."
He turned sideways, looked towards the south, and said slowly:
"I can see thirty miles."
When the voice fell, his vision changed drastically, the surrounding scenery disappeared, and his angle of view was stretched infinitely farther than thirty miles away.
In the line of sight, the long enemy troops who can't see the end came slowly, with fierce banners.
The flag fluttered in the wind and spread out, revealing the word "Qi".
Zhang Shen let out a "hey", retracted his gaze, and muttered to himself in a low voice:
"Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, this tortoise and grandson finally came."
...........
Tanglin City.
Xu Pingfeng, dressed in white clothes like snow, carrying a jug of wine in his hand, stepped up to the sky and came to the sea of clouds.
The golden light followed, transforming into a bodhisattva of Jialuoshu, standing beside Xu Pingfeng.
Across the two, the white-haired, white-clothed and white-bearded supervisor has been waiting for a long time.
"Teacher Jianzheng."
Xu Pingfeng half-flew and half-floated between the two sides, sitting on the ground in the sea of clouds, waving his big sleeves, and a chessboard and two boxes of chess pieces in front of him.
"Remember that when you learn art with you, every three days, our master and apprentice will play a game. I have never won."
Xu Pingfeng's tone was calm, and he said in an emotional tone:
"Twenty years away from Beijing, you and I will meet indefinitely. There has been no game for 20 years. Teacher Jianzheng, can you accompany the disciple in the next game?"
