Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The front line is not as imagined, and it is different from going to the Southern Han Dynasty. It's bitter and boring here.

The capital where Yu Liang is located and another capital that is close to the sequence have a total of about 200 people, stationed in a fortress in the north of Jinzhou. This fortress is numbered "Jin Liu".

They came here wearing clean and tidy armor, and they were working hard to repair various fortifications at the beginning. Of course, they didn't wear armor, and the military uniforms on their bodies quickly became dirty and torn. Working every day, everyone almost forgot whether they were here to fight the war or to do the coolies.

Entering the winter month, the first snow has just fallen in Jinzhou, the weather is getting colder, and the east coast is not far away, and the sea breeze is strong. He wore linen gloves on his head, but Yu Liang couldn't bear the cold wind, his hands and face were cracked, and it hurt a little when the wind blew.

The days are short and the nights are long, so everyone quits work early. It was even harder for those who were on guard at night. Fortunately, Yu Liang was not supposed to be the officer on duty tonight.

Even Zhang Dadu murmured: "Even in our remote village, we don't work when it snows in winter. Fortunately, we can eat enough here..."

In the middle of the camp were a dozen or so low-rise houses, low and solid, with rammed earth walls below and felt covered with planks above. Not far away was an earthen pagoda, on which stood two men wrapped in back fur, warming themselves by the fire.

Living in this kind of house seems to be much better than a tent, but more than thirty people sleep in one room! It is too much work to build fortifications and houses.

After Yu Liang finished his meal with his No. 30 man, everyone retreated into the low house. Most people went straight to the kang, which was warm... This was the first time I saw this kang, and it was said that it was specially designed by the officials to care for the soldiers. Charcoal is burned under the house, and the whole earth kang is hot.

Some people wipe their bodies behind the curtain. No matter how much work they do, taking a bath is very troublesome. There are too many people and the place is too small, so they just boil some water and wipe it with a cloth towel.

The light in the house was dim, and there was a complex smell mixed with foot odor, sweat odor, and fart odor.

Yu Liang took out a copy of "Sou Shen Ji" from the package and flipped through it boredly. It was an idle book, but he had read it all. The prosperity and comfort of Tokyo emerged in my mind, as if I heard a beautiful song.

Not far away, Zhang San stretched his neck and looked at Yu Liang with admiration.

At this moment, someone whispered: "You said touching | milk is like..."

Immediately someone responded, talking there, laughing "hehe" from time to time, Zhang San stared and listened, listening very engrossed. He heard another voice saying: "This time when I go back, I must go to Zuihonglou to have a taste."

As soon as the words fell, a voice outside the door suddenly said: "Li Dutou is here!"

Everyone stopped laughing immediately, stood up from the kang, and was busy putting on clothes. A young and strong man similar to Yu Liang opened the thick leather curtain and walked in. He behaved completely differently from when he was a whore|prostitute, pulling a face, which made everyone a little scared.

All the soldiers stood still facing Li Dutou, Yu Liang led everyone to hold a fist and salute, and bowed together: "Meet Li Dutou."

Li Du nodded his head and said, "The messenger army has issued a pond report. The main force of the Liao army has arrived in Youzhou. Starting tomorrow, the Six Forts of Jin will start preparing for battle." He then turned to look at a civil servant for confirmation, "Wang Siwu, is this the case for the messenger pond report?"

The official said: "What Li Dutou said is exactly the same."

Li Dutou said again: "In addition, the exercise will be canceled tomorrow morning, and everyone will take a shower and change into clean linings; as the above said, it will not be easy to fester if you are injured, and you will be able to survive. At night, the two capitals will take turns to stay awake at night."

After Li Dutou finished speaking, he turned and left.

There was a silence in the barracks for a while, and it didn't take long for everyone to shout excitedly. These days, people seem to be tired of working every day. Instead, they are looking forward to the battle... The battlefield of the Southern Han Dynasty is like that. Once the battle starts, you can get a reward and go home after the battle.

The past few days are obviously not so dull and dull. There are horsemen coming and going outside the fort from time to time. For a while, I heard that scouts clashed and died, and then I heard where the Liao army is coming. But it's just heard, everyone has never seen even a Liao army.

The sky and the earth gradually dimmed. Yu Liang carried a bucket of water from the wooden ladder and slowly climbed up the earth wall that was more than one person high. He poured water along the outside of the stake to the outer wall, and a thin layer of hard ice formed at night. There are also some soldiers splashing water nearby.

Yu Liang looked back and saw several men under him were waiting to fetch water by the well, so he stretched his upper body and looked into the distance. The endless wilderness seems to be a wasteland in winter, and the houses of the village can be seen faintly. There seemed to be nothing around. He turned his head and looked to the right. Not far away, he could see a standing mound and two towers that looked like wooden frames. They were guard towers in a nearby fort.

Another day passed like this.

At night, according to the order of rotation, Yu Liang and others were not allowed to disarm, and they slept in bed together. The plate armor on his body was uneven, and the bed board was also hard. It was not very comfortable to lie down for a long time, but he still fell asleep in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Liang was suddenly awakened by a loud cry, and then he heard the sound of "dong dong bang bang..." drums and gongs sounded. He was taken aback and sat up abruptly, his mind still confused as to what had happened.

At this time, a soldier "bang" opened the wooden door, ran in and shouted: "The enemy attacked the camp, get up quickly, everyone, go up the wall and find your own position!"

Yu Liang gradually came back to his senses, got up in a blink of an eye, and shouted: "Get up quickly, grab your weapon and stand still!"

He quickly grabbed a saber by the bed and hung it around his waist, then picked up the crossbow and quiver. The thirty or so people in the house were suddenly noisy, and there were even shouts outside.

Everyone prepared their weapons, put on their helmets, and quickly stood in the middle of the house. Yu Liang's mind was a little dazed, and only then did he remember which position in his team should be complicated. Immediately, he led the people out of the house.

There was a lot of people outside, and it seemed a bit chaotic. At this time, he saw Li Dutou coming out of his room pressing his sword, and he shouted: "People from the first capital, go directly to the wall and prepare for battle!"

Li Du raised his head to look at the sentry tower on the mound again, and cursed loudly: "What are you doing! Light the beacon fire!"

The soldiers above quickly smashed an earthen pot with a "bang" and threw the torch, and a big fire ignited above with a "boom", and the camp suddenly became brighter.

Yu Liang's heart thumped loudly, and finally his mind was better. Thinking of the usual training process, he pulled out his waist knife "swish", pointed to the ladders on the left and said, "First fire, go up!"

He himself trotted up the earth steps in the middle. Seeing this, all the troops followed suit to the wall.

Yu Liang's eyes widened, and he climbed to the top of the ladder, and saw that it was pitch black outside and no one was seen, and the piles of bonfires in the distance flickered brightly in the dark night. At this time, a cavalry appeared on the edge of the fire, and the cavalry held a triangular red flag and shouted: "Your fellow, don't shoot arrows!"

Li Dutou roared below: "Every team, string up the crossbows and load the firearms!"

After a while, ghost-like black shadows flashed past the fire in the distance, and some people lit torches directly from the fire, only to see horsemen in the light!

The place where the light of the fire shines is limited, it looks as if there are people outside! The entire fort was surrounded by crowds and floods.

Those cavalrymen jumped off their horses, took wooden shields and simple wooden ladders, climbed over the rejected horses outside and rushed towards them. The battle was very scary, because there were many enemy soldiers, and the strength of more than a hundred people on the wall was weak.

"Steady!" Yu Liang yelled, his voice was out of tune. His heart was stretched into a thread, and everyone worked very hard on matters related to life and death.

But soon there were screams, and some enemy soldiers were squeezed into the outermost ditch, which was full of sharpened wooden stakes and nails, and one could imagine what would happen if they fell in the dark.

So the tide outside was blocked by the ditch, and the enemy soldiers began to take the ladder and put it on the ditch, and then walked over carefully, very slowly. The enemy soldiers behind took a shovel and began to dig the soil to fill the hole.

The scene outside was tossing endlessly, and the menacing momentum was suddenly suffocated! When Yu Liang looked back, the troops in the second capital had already assembled, and soon the general shouted, and everyone went up to the wall in batches.

Yu Liang heard the rhythmic beating of the drum again, and the general's voice shouted: "The first one gathers his troops, and the second one makes room for it!"

So more than ten people on both sides of Yu Liang lined up in the middle, and the troops on the wall formed three rows, which suddenly became much thicker, which made Yu Liang more confident.

After fumbling for a long time, the enemy soldiers with fur hats threw their shields and then swarmed up from the edge of the second ditch. The enemy soldiers were unable to fill the deep ditch in a hurry. They may have destroyed the pickets and nails in the ditch, and then dug a place for their feet on the hook wall, so that they could get up from the ditch.

"Let go!" Yu Liang pointed down with his saber.

Suddenly, there was a "crackling" sound, and the crossbow bolt flew down obliquely under the dim light of the fire, and there were screams from below, the precision of the crossbow bolt was good. Seeing the surviving enemy soldiers, Yu Liang quickly grabbed the wooden shield and crouched there, daring not to step forward.

Yu Liang saw it clearly, and said: "Don't change teams, the firearms are out of reach, and the front row should reload the crossbows."

At this moment, there was a sound of rubbing wood, and a stone bullet with shining fuses flew out of the camp with a bang. Not long after, a "boom" explosion was heard, flames splashed in the distance, and people's voices called.

Several crossbows on the wall also trembled powerfully, and the crossbow bolts with thick arms flew in the air whistling with wind! The enemy soldiers were able to climb over two ditches on foot, but horses could not climb up. They shot arrows randomly below, which was ineffective. The angle of elevation was too high, and the walls were relatively narrow and blocked by wooden stakes, making it difficult to shoot |

The enemy soldiers set up defenses with wooden shields in the distance, endured the casualties caused by ballistas and crossbow bolts, and finally accumulated some troops. Suddenly, those people shouted "Wow..." and rushed over with wooden shields and simple ladders. \u003c
