Turbulent Times Chapter 285: Su Changqing’s killing intent
In the end, he fell into the scheme of Yi Shibo and Xue Qiluo. Ren Junshuo and Tian Ming, who also looked very ugly, looked at each other. They were ready to die in battle.
It's just that he is nearly forty years old. He has been a soldier since the founding of the Sui Dynasty until now. Ren Junshuo, who was promoted to the head of the regiment by the light of Wang Junlin a few days ago, couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Niu Jinda, I believe that after this battle, there will be If you are still alive, you will become a qualified general."
When the desperate Ren Junshuo opened his eyes, he could no longer see any negative emotions in his eyes. Instead, there was nothingness in his eyes. Most of the brothers who served with him back then were dead. It is also lucky to be alive to this day. It is also a good destination to be able to die on the battlefield instead of dying of illness in the arms of children.
Different from Ren Junshuo, Tian Ming beside him also quickly recovered from the shock, but there was no despair in his expression, nor was it decisive. Instead, he looked at the enemies constantly coming from the city, and his face was full of killing intent and fighting spirit.
"Master Ren, prepare to fight, the enemy is about to attack the city!" Tian Ming casually pulled out a spear from the equipment rack beside him. The soldiers on the city were also stunned by the sudden appearance of the enemy below the city, and there was a deathly silence on the city.
Ren Junshuo came back to his senses and was furious when he saw this. He ran to the edge of the city tower a few steps, picked up the drum and beat it, and beat the drum desperately, "Brothers, the enemy is coming, prepare to fight!" He waved his arms and beat the drum , long hair fluttering, the soldiers on the city were awakened by the sound of drums, looking back at the top of the city tower Ren Shuo's beard and hair were flourishing, some gray long hair fluttering in the wind, a surge of excitement suddenly aroused in his chest.
"Kill the enemy!"
"Kill the enemy!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
"Soldiers, Shifeng Walled City is high and steep. Let alone 20,000 to 30,000 enemies, what if 50,000 enemies can do it? Lord personally led the reinforcements and they will arrive in a few days, as long as we persevere for a day, we will win!" Tian Ming climbed up the tower, raising his arms and shouting.
Ren Junshuo was a little ashamed. He was a veteran, but he was not as courageous as a kid who had just been promoted. He handed over the drumming work to others, trotted all the way to Tian Ming, and whispered: "Master Tian, We need to evacuate the people in the fortresses, the two fortresses are seriously overstaffed, there are only more than a hundred people in each, and they will only be sent to death if they are put there, and they can also help defend the main fortress when they are withdrawn."
Tian Ming did not speak, but looked at the two fortresses not far away, his eyes filled with sadness, "We cannot withdraw, the two fortresses are our powerful barriers, if the Turks occupy the fortresses, we will We can suppress our left and right wings from the fortress. With the Turkic bow and horse level, our left and right wings will suffer heavy losses. Besides, people can withdraw from the two fortresses, but the eight-ox crossbow cannot be withdrawn. You Think about it, what will you do if the other party shoots us with an eight-ox crossbow?"
Of course Ren Junshuo knows the role of the Fortress in the main fortress, but there are all his brothers and his direct subordinates inside. Wherever they are placed, it will not be long before it will become an isolated island, and the only thing waiting for them is One way - die in battle and die for your country.
"Are we just going to watch them die?" He couldn't help arguing loudly.
Tian Ming closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Tell the brothers in Weibao, the longer they persist, the greater our hope of victory. Let them fight to the death!"
Hu Dafei looked sad, knowing that the people in the two Fortresses had become abandoned children, but he knew the current situation, there was no way to do it.
"Come on!" Hu Dafei shouted loudly, and a soldier ran over, "Go tell the tax officials in the city to organize them, and tell all the people in Shifengzhai that if you don't want to be killed by the enemy Come into the city, chop off their heads and build a Jingguan like those outside the city, everyone is ready to go to the city to kill the enemy!"
…
…
The wilderness in winter is very cold, especially at night when the cold wind blows over the body like a knife. But maybe because of the high altitude, the moon seems to be clearer and bigger when it hangs in the sky. One after another howling wolves came from a distance. Su Changqing, Li Xiang, and Jiang Mulang who were studying the map angrily dropped the parchment and looked in the direction of howling wolves.
Li Xiang, Jiang Mulang, and Su Changqing are very distressed now. Three thousand of their cavalry trekked across mountains and rivers, crossed the Qilian Mountains, and crossed the West Sea. They traveled no less than two thousand miles before arriving at Tuyuhun's lair. The strength of their horses had already been exhausted. Not a lot.
Continuous raids, the most worn out are the war horses. Often after a run, each war horse can lose more than ten or twenty catties of fat. Running around every day, even if they came with a standard configuration of one man and three horses, and they came in rotation, they were almost at their limit.
In addition, walking in the Gobi for a long time is a serious torture to the soldiers' spirit and body.
Su Changqing believes that if it is not because they are an all-cavalry army, the horseshoes are added with iron palms invented by his own general himself, and the general has trained them for similar long-distance trekking, the 3,000-man cavalry would not Maybe he came here without incident.
The first thing that catches the eye is the snow-capped mountains, while the sky is dazzling blue.
Under the snow-capped mountain tops, there are patches of barren alpine grasslands. These grasslands have entered the cold winter, so there is hardly any vitality.
Rough streams pour down from the mountains, and finally form small rivers at the foot of the mountain.
The melting snow water is icy cold, but animals like horses are not afraid at all. They stand in the shallow drinking water and drink with their heads down.
The thirst of many days, all the horses have been compensated at this moment.
Sitting on a stone, Su Changqing looked up at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and said to Jiang Mulang: "Golmud is at the foot of the mountain?"
Jiang Mulang nodded and said: "Probably there is no problem with the direction, but this wasteland is thousands of miles away, so it may not be directly in front of us!"
Li Xiang said with a smile: "We don't know where we are, and the Tuyuhun people must be like this too!"
Jiang Mulang said with a smile: "It should be so!"
"Hahaha... that's good, let's start the conquest of Tuyuhun from here!" Su Changqing let out a long laugh, his fighting spirit was overwhelming, and he wished he could kill all the Tuyuhun people right now. He was from Jincheng County, and his family members were all killed by the Tuyuhun people when they raided the grass valley three years ago.
Li Xiang hesitated and said: "Should I call Master Wu San over and join forces with them?"
Jiang Muling thought for a while, and said: "I think it's better to forget it. Lord Wu San has his own opinion. If he wants to join forces with us, he will take the initiative to come over. And with the skeleton army behind us, we have many ways to go. Some protection."
