Unparalleled Concubine - v2 Chapter 992

   Chapter 992 Mrs. Li’s brother-in-law

  War is an extremely cruel thing, it can even be said to be the most cruel thing in the world, there is no one.

Even in this era without hot weapons, cold weapon warfare is very cruel. When it comes to horseback archery, the Han Chinese are naturally inferior to these nomads, while the Xianbei people are good at bows and crossbows, as long as the distance is close enough, they can even shoot through the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty. Armor, as for close combat, these red-eyed Xianbei people who are not afraid of death will directly fight for your life. Although they don’t wear iron armor, they only wear simple leather armor, but the scimitars in their hands are extremely sharp. In the case of close combat, Zhenbei Army won’t take any advantage, and even lose a little.

The only thing the Zhenbei Army can rely on is the high tower at Jimen Pass. Depending on the terrain, rocks and oil can be used to inflict a lot of damage on the siege enemy. However, whether it is rocks or oil or gold juice , after facing the level of tens of thousands of people, you will feel a little weak. You can kill three people and four people with one stone. If you are lucky, you can kill more than a dozen people. How many stones can there be on this tower?

   As long as you are willing to die, you can always break the city.

Moreover, before the Xianbei attacked the city, they would definitely put a row of Han prisoners in front of the army formation to act as human shields to resist the first round of arrow rain from Jimen. This method sounds cruel, but in fact it has It is one of the most common methods at the border. It is common that even Zhao Fang and other soldiers of the Zhenbei Army will not blink when they shoot Han prisoners.

   Finally, these Xianbei people resisted several rounds of arrow rain on the city tower and rushed to the root of the city wall, but at this time there were corpses lying on the ground under the city wall. Most of them were Han prisoners captured by the Xianbei Ministry.

   After these Xianbei people rushed under the city tower, they immediately set up a cloud ladder, and they all climbed towards the city wall like crazy tigers.

   Behind them, someone shouted in Xianbei dialect and Chinese dialect.

   “Those who go to Jimen Pass first will be given a thousand heads of cattle and sheep, and a hundred beauties!”

Since the Xianbei people were driven out of Jimen Pass by Ye Sheng, they lost the official system of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. For decades, the grasslands have been in the form of tribes, and there are no titles and official positions to speak of, but cattle, sheep and women are always grasslands. the most precious possessions.

   The people who are rushing in the front are all from the tent of King Yuwenzhao. They are more willing to trust Yuwenzhao’s orders than the people from the other three divisions. Therefore, even if the casualties are heavy, they all rush towards the city wall regardless of their lives!

Zhao Fang’s commander’s camp was responsible for guarding a small section of the city wall. The young commander, who was in his early twenties, shot a few Xianbei barbarians with a longbow, and saw a few Xianbei people climb up. He threw down the long bow in his hand, and pulled out a azure long sword from his waist. He held the hilt of the sword with both hands and used the long sword as a long knife, and slashed directly at the head of the Xianbei who climbed up!

In such a chaotic situation, those who can climb the tower are naturally quick-witted people. The Xianbei man reacted very quickly, pulled out the machete in his waist to block, the two weapons collided, and the long sword only stagnated. In an instant, the machete was cut off, and this brave Xianbei warrior was directly cut off half of his head by the green pheasant sword!

   His eyes widened and he fell off the city wall, unable to rest his eyes.

   Zhao Fang, dressed in rough clothes, brought up the green pheasant sword that Li Xin lent him, and slashed a few Xianbei people. At the same time, he was also shot by the enemy in the right shoulder, and the tip of the arrow penetrated half an inch into the flesh!

  Zhao Fang gritted his teeth and ruthlessly pulled out the feather arrow on his shoulder, and blood spurted out immediately.

   He looked around, looked at the situation on the city wall, turned back to a subordinate who was close to him, and shouted loudly: “Too many Xianbei people have climbed up here, hurry up and report! Let General Wang reinforce my camp!”

   On the battlefield, the sound of shouting and killing came one after another.

Half of Zhao Fang’s body was dyed red by the blood spurting from his shoulders, but at this time, his blood was surging, and he couldn’t feel the pain at all. , fell to the ground, unconscious.

  Not everyone is a peerless general like Ye Mao.

   The fierce generals on the battlefield are really too few and too few. The Ye family’s kind is considered a bloodline inheritance, and others can’t learn it. In fact, most people on the battlefield are cannon fodder that may lose their lives at any time.

   Zhao Fang too.

When he returned to the capital with Li Xin in the early years, he was still a frail child. Although he has become a little stronger in the military in recent years, he has also practiced punching with Li Xin for a few years, but it is impossible for him to be here. In a few years of practice, he can become a fierce general. In fact, if he hadn’t gone north, Li Xin had lent him the inner armor of his early generals and the green pheasant sword that he carried with him. At this time, he would most likely be a widow.

Zhao Fang was unconscious and fainted on the ground. When he woke up, it was already dark. He looked around and found himself lying in a tent in the Zhenbei Army Camp. A middle-aged general in his forties and fifties.

   is Wang Dun, deputy general of Zhenbei Army.

After Ye Mao left the Zhenbei Army, it was the deputy general of the Zhenbei Army who took care of the Zhenbei Army. After the clan of the Great Jin arrived at the Zhenbei Army, Wang Dun took over almost all military affairs. This middle-aged general, It can be said to be the actual general of Zhenbei.

Zhao Fang recognized Wang Dun and was about to stand up and salute immediately, but just as he moved, a piercing pain came from his right shoulder. He groaned and lay back on the bed, sweat oozing from his forehead immediately. .

Only then did Wang Dun realize that Zhao Fang was awake, he immediately walked to Zhao Fang’s bed, and said in a deep voice, “The arrow wound on Captain Zhao’s shoulder is not shallow, and some bones have been injured. It will take at least two or three months to heal. Move, you must rest during this time, otherwise your right arm may be useless.”

   Zhao Fang gritted his teeth and endured it for a long time, and the pain in his shoulder was relieved. He wiped the sweat with his left hand and asked, “General… have we… defended it?”

   “Hold.”

  Wang Dun sighed: “The northern barbarians attacked the city yesterday, and they didn’t withdraw their troops until sunset. Our army tried hard to support it, and finally managed to defend it, but there were still heavy casualties.”

   “Yesterday…Yesterday?”

  Wang Dun nodded and said, “You slept all day and night.”

   “When the generals brought me to see you, your face was as pale as a dead man, and you were covered in blood, which frightened me.”

Wang Dun glanced at Zhao Fang and said helplessly: “In those days, Li Houye and Xiao Gongye once asked me to take care of you for a long time. You just came home and got married. If you die like this, no Know how many people have to trouble me.”

   Having said that, the old general with gray hair asked, “I heard that Duwei Zhao married Mrs. Li’s sister?”

   Zhao Fang reluctantly nodded and said slowly, “My sister.”

   “That’s a good thing too.”

   Having said that, Wang Dun glanced at the bloodless Zhao Fang, shook his head and sighed: “You have this relationship, so you don’t have to come back and work hard with us.”

  The pain in the shoulder came, and the pain made Zhao Fang grin.

   He gritted his teeth and said, “After staying in Zhenbei Army for five or six years, I can’t… run away when something happens.”

   “If you really die here.”

Speaking of this, Zhao Fang closed his eyes and thought of his grandfather who explained his revitalization of the family business, Li Shidao, the head of the Li family in Zhao County, and the bride in red on the wedding night in Qiyang County, Yongzhou, and slowly exhaled. .

   “Then pull it down.”

   “You can’t die.”

Wang Dun reached out and patted Zhao Fang’s left hand, and said slowly: “Yesterday our army defended very fiercely. If Yuwen’s troops come back a few times, Jimenguan will be a miss, but the generals sent by the imperial court have done nothing. Half of the court’s reinforcements can’t be invited, and they will only hide in Jizhou City to drink.”

   Having said that, Wang Dun spat on the ground viciously.

   “If he didn’t have a good surname, he would be a waste!”

   Having said this, Wang Dun looked up at Zhao Fang and said solemnly: “Since Duwei Zhao is the brother-in-law of Li Taifu, he should be able to contact Li Taifu.”

“At this time, Ye Gongye is locked in the capital, any news from the Zhenbei Army side will be seen by the court first, Captain Zhao, I need to use the person you use to communicate to the people in the capital. Lord Ye hand over a letter.”

   Zhao Fang, who was lying on the bed, couldn’t stop hissing because of the pain in his shoulder, and he nodded with some difficulty.

   “What is the general going to write… I will find a way at the end to send you to the capital.”

  Wang Dun immediately took out a letter from his waist and put it next to Zhao Fang.

   “I have already written the letter.”

   He got up and clasped his fists at Zhao Fang.

   “There is Captain Zhao Zhao.”
