Devil’s Advent - Vol 4 Chapter 17

“Brother, Fan.”

Tan Xiaoyong handed the food he had called to his second brother.

Tan Eryong took the big rice bowl and the chopsticks. Just after taking two bites of rice, he immediately realized that there were two large pieces of bacon at the bottom of his bowl.

“Where did it come from?”

Tan Eryong immediately stared at his younger brother.

The Jindong Army has strict military discipline, and the thieves in the army will kill without mercy!

Especially at the moment when it is still in war, how could it be possible to give you a chance to rehabilitate, and the military discipline officer is not so idle.

“Don’t worry, brother, you didn’t steal it.”

“Where did that come from?”

“It’s not stealing anyway, you just eat it.”

“No, tell me where it came from, otherwise I can’t eat this meat.”

Upon seeing this, Tan Xiaoyong could only answer truthfully:

“Didn’t you meet your eldest brother the day before yesterday? This meat was delivered by your eldest brother in the morning.”

In the army, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and civilians. If you want to find someone here, it will be very difficult unless your status is high enough to send official letters to the army.

It’s just that there is no compromise. The auxiliary soldiers are very difficult to find the standard household soldiers, because the standard household soldiers are integrated and then built. However, the auxiliary soldiers are often based on a fort or The way of a regional fort is concentrated into a sequence of management operations.

After Qin Dayong inquired about the location of the castle, he asked someone to go in and ask, and finally determined the location of his two younger brothers. After a brief meeting the day before, he sent someone to deliver the meat.

“You are confused, you, eldest brother who wants to go into battle, he has to eat meat. Where can he wield a knife if he doesn’t eat meat? You and I are basically doing exercises every day, and they are not really going to the battlefield with guns and need to make up. Didn’t you hear the old people say that when it’s time to fight on the battlefield, there will be meat in our meals.

You are so embarrassed to take the rations you saved yourself! ”

“I didn’t want to take it, second brother, but it was sent by the eldest brother, who also said that our eldest brother’s soldiers and horses have changed their garrison, and we can’t go back to the eldest brother.”

“Ugh.”

Tan Eryong sighed, and did not blame his brother again, saying:

“Eat it.”

Paused,

Tan Eryong said again:

“When the battle is over, and we get the reward, we’ll get together to make a bracelet for my sister-in-law.”

“okay.”

The two brothers are sitting together for dinner.

The speed of eating in the army is very fast, and the auxiliary soldiers are to a certain extent the reserve of the soldiers, and in many ways they will be aligned with the soldiers.

Not long after the meal was finished, the captain came over and ordered people to gather.

Tan Eryong and his younger brother did not dare to neglect, and immediately stood with their own swords.

In fact, until now, they have not found the opportunity to use a knife. They are basically “pushing”, “moving”, “moving” and “chopping wood”.

But this time, the captain ordered them to be armed with knives.

“Brother, are you not going to fight anymore?” Tan Xiaoyong was a little eager to try.

“No, I heard that the people of Chu shrank too much, and the soldiers in front of them didn’t catch the battle. How could it be our turn.”

The team was pulled out of the barracks, and accompanied them out of the camp, and there was another civilian camp.

Auxiliary barracks of five thousand, civilian battalions of five thousand, and nearly ten thousand teams, which can be considered huge. Although compared with the entire battle, these ten thousand people have been transferred out, it may be difficult to detect, after all, it is not a mobilization of regular soldiers. .

What made Tan Xiaoyong a little puzzled was that the battlefield was facing south, but in the end they were heading northwest, which was equivalent to a detour and another trip across the Weihe River.

The road was not difficult to walk, and it didn’t rain. Everyone traveled during the day, camped at night, and camped at night during the day.

After passing the Weihe River,

Tan Eryong and Tan Xiaoyong have no idea where they are now. In fact, Captain Captain doesn’t know very well, but the Captain also inquired to the top and found out where everyone is now…Sansuo County.

Sansuo County and Liusha County are two counties between Shanggu County and Fancheng. Both counties are bordered by the Weihe River. The land is a bit long and narrow, but the area is not small.

When this team entered Sansuo County, and two more days later, an army cavalry with a size of three thousand appeared.

The two generals riding on the beasts flew past Tan Eryong and Tan Xiaoyong, and the cavalry behind them also unceremoniously rode their horses and whip their nostrils up to the sky.

“Brother, those two generals are so young, and they are still riding a beast.” Tan Xiaoyong said with envy.

Jindong Erlang, to be precise, the entire Yandi Erlang, is proud of joining the army and proud of his military merits;

Of course, not everyone can be equipped with a purebred brave like the regent, so replacing the mount with a brave is already a very high dream of the army.

“Yes.” Tan Eryong nodded in agreement.

…

“Meet Dutong at the humble position!”

“Meet Dutong at the humble position!”

A group of commanders saluted Chen Xianba.

Chen Xianba clasped his fists and saluted in response, saying:

“Everyone, now is not the time to rest. The team needs to move on. I have arranged someone to lead the way for you. The rainy season is coming, so don’t delay.”

“Here!”

“Here!”

After giving these instructions, Chen Xianba and Tiantian rode the beast back and forth again.

Three days later,

This team of three thousand regular soldiers, five thousand auxiliary soldiers and five thousand civilian men finally arrived in Xiawei County, Sansuo County, and the county seat of Xiawei County was not far away.

Inside the tent,

Chen Xianba just held a combat meeting and made a series of deployments.

Next, the civil servants began to set up camps, the auxiliary soldiers began to build simple siege equipment, and Chen Xianba’s headquarters, Sanqianqi, was completely dispersed to take care of the guard.

“call……”

Chen Xianba took a sip, looked at Tiantian who was sitting opposite, and shook his head helplessly.

Tian Tian also smiled embarrassedly.

One month after he crossed the Weihe River to land and fight, the father-in-law suddenly ordered him to lead a soldier and horse out, and every day he was very loyal to push Chen Xianba out.

After Chen Xianba learned of it, he was so excited that he did not be polite this time, and took the initiative to ask for his orders.

then,

He is the head coach this time, and the deputy commander every day. In the Jindong military system, a single commander will face the other side of the war during the war. If the military position is not enough, he will be given a temporary position of the reunification of the capital.

but,

What Chen Xianba didn’t expect was that this time he was not asked to perform any difficult but definitive task. Instead, he was asked to lead his headquarters with three thousand horses and a team of auxiliary soldiers and civilians to enter the three. So County went to pull the nail.

In fact, the main force of the Chu people had already shrunk back. Now the main defenses of the Chu army are in Moya County, Wenqiu County, Shangyang County, and westward to Daze area.

It can be said that after the Jindong Army crossed the Weihe River, Sansuo County and Liusha County were nominally the sphere of influence of the Chu State. Officials, garrisons, and flags were also Chu Feng, but they had become an enclave.

This place, if you eat it, you will be afraid of diluting your own soldiers and horses, so in essence, this military operation… just picked up and dropped it.

And the military objectives are also very… not general, but perfunctory.

The original words of the prince are:

Take as many cities as you can.

It’s like dealing with a crying child, just throw something down, play, don’t make trouble.

Chen Xianba was somewhat disappointed, but fortunately, the degree of disappointment was not too great. After all, he could finally be on his own, and he also cherished this opportunity very much.

The reason for deliberately showing that he was very upset in front of Tiantian was because he thought that this opportunity would not count, and that he would grab Tiantian again next time.

It’s not bad-hearted, it’s really itchy hands.

“When the prince rushed to rescue Fancheng, Xiawei County, as the first county to go out of the town to the south of Guanxi, was defeated by the pioneer army led by Gou Shuai, and the northern army led by Li Chenghui and Li also took the lead from them. In front of them, no, they almost bypassed them. The Weihe River that crossed put pressure on the Chu army, forcing the Chu army to directly retreat without any other thoughts.

This county town is actually very floating. ”

“So Brother Ba, you let the following build siege equipment, and the cavalry will go out everywhere, so that you can force the opponent to surrender?”

“If you are more acquainted, you should just vote. Qu Peiluo’s Chu character camp has been infiltrated here before, and I have sent someone into the city to pass it on.

As long as they are willing to come down, it’s easy to say anything. Those who are officials will continue to be officials, and the wealthy will continue to be rich. As long as they contribute a little food and grass and reward the wealth of the three counties, they will do whatever they want.

Our army now has no troops to completely eat such a large piece of land. The prince’s intention is probably to let us sift it here first, so as to polish the surface. ”

“Yes.” Tiantian nodded, he thought so too.

At this moment, two soldiers came in outside, holding a box in their hands.

“Dutong…”

“what’s happenin?”

“The magistrate of Xiawei County killed our messenger and sent the head out.”

…

The camp is deepening. The Jindong Army has its own standard system for camping and camping to consolidate the security of its own foothold as much as possible.

At the same time, the construction of siege equipment gradually took shape with the passage of time. In addition, with the cavalry sweeping the periphery of Xiawei County, the county was completely an island, and there was already a shortage of food in the city.

As for the so-called aid, they should have sent out the letter for help a long time ago, but neither Chen Xianba nor Tiantian were worried about the Chu army in other nearby cities coming to rescue.

Without the support of the Imperial Forbidden Army of the Great Chu and the decent private armies of the nobles, the so-called reinforcements, let alone whether they dare to come, even if they do, will not be regarded as the same thing.

Tiantian originally thought that Chen Xianba would be angry because of the head, but Chen Xianba did not, even if the messenger he sent was a cronies under his hand, it is said that he knew and was known when he was in Zhennanguan. He brought it with him.

at last,

everything’s ready.

Early in the morning, Chen Xianba ordered the whole army to cook and eat.

Tian Tian and Chen Xianba sat face to face, and the two of them ate silently.

Outside,

Tan Eryong and his younger brother Tan Xiaoyong were also sitting face to face for dinner, and they had meat in their bowls.

…

“Uuuuu…”

The bugle sounded.

Chen Xianba and Tian Tian each rode on their own Beasts, and came to the front of the formation.

This is a small county town, a small county town that can even be called a bit dilapidated. The population is not large, but at this moment, Chen Xianba does not have the frivolousness and randomness that he used to present. It is full. The solemnity.

“Deputy commander.” Chen Xianba said.

Every day he clasped his fists and responded: “Dutong!”

“Let’s make a tour for this coach.”

“Here!”

Riding on the beast every day, he began to patrol the battle preparations.

In fact, this is more like going through a cutscene, and it is also a kind of ceremony before the war begins.

Tan Xiaoyong subconsciously raised his chest when he saw Tiantian passing in front of him.

These days, they finally know who their master will be;

But it was their lieutenant who made them more excited.

The eldest son of the prince!

After the inspection, Tian Tian returned to Chen Xianba’s side and reported;

“Till all, after the inspection, there is nothing left out!”

Chen Xianba nodded.

Looked at the messenger beside him,

Road:

“Forward pressure!”

“Master Dutong has an order, press forward!”

“Here!”

A part of the auxiliary soldiers began to push forward with the shield cart, while the other auxiliary soldiers followed along with their shields.

When the distance was still far away, arrows began to shoot from the walls of Xiawei County. Most of the arrows did not hit the shield. The distance was not reached, and they basically fell ahead.

Tan Xiaoyong, who entered the battlefield for the first time, was very nervous. He and his brother pushed the shield cart together.

“Die, don’t be afraid. The Chu man on the wall is the most afraid. Hold steady and continue to push the cart. The soldiers behind are about to come up. You can’t fall behind.”

Tan Xiaoyong nodded vigorously and continued to push the cart intently.

After waiting for a distance to get closer, arrows finally began to hit the shield car continuously, making a “buzzing” sound, with a little tremor.

The Tan brothers were okay behind the shield car, with a larger defensive surface, but some of the shields nearby had already been shot.

If the shot is shot, the robes around him will subconsciously help him to block, and the slightly injured will go down on his own, and the severely injured will cover him and climb to the back of the shield vehicle.

“Kang Dang!”

“boom!”

The defenders on the city wall began to throw rolling logs and stones, but it was obvious that the ladder team on the side of the Yan army had not yet climbed;

This means that the defenders on the wall are very nervous, and training…maybe there is no training.

Looking from below to the top, there are not many serious Chu troops, and many defenders are still in civilian costumes.

Although this is the first time that the Tan brothers have served as an auxiliary soldier, these days after joining the army, they have been more “experienced”. They have stayed with the real elites all day, and their horizons are naturally different.

When you find that your opponent has more dishes than you, you will not be so nervous.

In fact, it was only the forward pressure of the shield car and the shield soldier, and basically did not make any counterattack. The defenders on the city wall had already shown a posture of tension and gradual collapse.

Seeing that the distance was almost there, Chen Xianba ordered Zhengbing to keep up.

Starting early, the Yan army relied on iron cavalry to shoot kung fu to shock the summer, and the regent has always been an out-and-out cavalry control from the beginning of Cui Liu Bao Liji.

Chen Xianba has always been the seed of a famous general who is valued by the prince. He has brought this soldier and horse for several years, and he is also good at riding and shooting. There is no reason that riding on horseback is very powerful, and it is impossible to go on the ground.

Therefore, when this group of soldiers pressed forward with bows and arrows, and under the cover of shield carts and shield players, began to shoot back at the arrows on the wall, the wall suddenly became chaotic.

The accuracy of the arrows on both sides is not at the same level at all, and the difference is too far.

Gradually, the people on the wall didn’t even dare to poke their heads out of the wall.

What’s more, part of the flag of the city wall has already fallen, and it is obvious that there has been a rout.

Simple peasant soldiers are just like this. Compared with regular elites, the gap is all-round.

Chen Xianba didn’t have the effort to build a catapult, just such a simple layout has actually determined the tone of this “siege war”.

Next, the ladder hand carried the ladder and prepared to press up, and at the same time, many soldiers were holding ropes, preparing to step forward and climb the wall.

The archers are getting closer and closer to the city wall under the cover of auxiliary soldiers with shields, and their suppressing power is getting more and more sufficient.

at this time,

The gate of Xiawei County was opened from the inside.

A middle-aged man with a long beard, tall and thin, wearing a white long suit, walked out slowly with his bare feet.

The elegance that Chu Feng is most proud of is indeed present in him.

Chen Xianba raised his hand and signaled that the offensive should be suspended.

In this situation, it is impossible to play any tricks in the city, and there is no point in slowing down.

The middle-aged man continued to move forward, he even walked past the front of the shield hand.

Because everyone knew that he had come to surrender and the city gate was still wide open, no one was eager to do anything about him.

Chen Xianba also came to him riding a brave at this time;

“Is this the chief general of Army Yan?” the man asked.

“Yes.” Chen Xianba replied blankly.

“A county magistrate of Xiawei County, Wang Qingmei, hereby ask Yan Jun to surrender. I am alone. Please let the army go to these…innocent people in the city.”

“Wang? In Chu country, I don’t remember the nobleman with the surname Wang.”

“Being born in a poor family, you must not abandon your Majesty, and become an official, but he has not been able to protect his country well for his majesty. It is really ashamed. The only thing Wang can do now is to live for the people in the city with his own death. .

Please… forgive them. ”

Chen Xianba nodded and said; “Do you want to die?”

Wang Qingmei lifted her long hair from her temples with both hands, and smiled: “The crime of losing land, the magistrate loses the place, should be killed for the place. Your Majesty has the kindness of me to know and meet, I will never turn Chu Yan away from it.”

“You misunderstood, I’m not trying to persuade you to come down.”

“What does the general intend?”

“The general was ordered by the king to lead the army to pull the city and destroy the village. With you, the general has been delayed for too long.”

“General, I am from Chu, I have no shortage of spineless officials, and no shortage of spineless people, Yan wants to destroy Chu, it is really…”

“You misunderstood again. Ben General only meant that he didn’t have much time, and I don’t want all the cities in the future to have to wait and prepare for so long as they are now.”

Chen Xianba pointed his finger at the wide open gate.

Road:

“Go back and continue to guard your city.”

“General, this move is against heaven and harmony!!!”

Of course Wang Qingmei realized what the young Yanren general in front of her was planning to do.

“The two armies are at war. Since you dare to kill my messenger, you have to be prepared to be unruly with each other~www.mtlnovel.com~ You are in the first year of junior high school, and you will be sent to the fifteenth!

Chen Xianba let out a loud shout:

“Now go back and continue to defend the city. After the city is broken, women and children can stay.

If you continue to stand here now, if you don’t go back,

Throughout Xiawei County, no chickens and dogs will stay! ”

“General, you are not afraid that your prince knows how you are today…”

“It’s a coincidence.”

Chen Xianba waved his horse whip,

Smiled

“I will respect my prince the most in my life. I think that if my prince is here and sees you like this, he will pity and pity himself, and the prince will be like me and give the same order.

Ben Jiang and the prince look down on people like you the most.

The prince also said to this general,

What do you want to do most when you see a holy lotus?

I really want to throw a dung on him. ”

In fact, since writing this book, because the plot and development of the story must fit the background of this era, I have always attached great importance to productivity, especially food. Although I am not a textual author, I did not intend to write too delicately. At this point, but generally speaking, in the context of the story of “Mo Lin”, for the people at the bottom, survival and food have always been very urgent issues.

For example, the “steamed bun with stuffing” stem, I often use it.

I also wrote in a book that later generations drink hot water, in fact, it has happened in recent decades, because ordinary people cannot drink tea.

For me and most of my readers, a full meal is only three generations;

You my parents,

You and I,

You my child.
