The front line is not what we imagined, and it is different from the expedition to Southern Han. It’s bitter and boring here.
The capital where Yu Liang is located and the other capital close to the sequence total about two hundred people. They are stationed in a fortress north of Jinzhou. This fortress is numbered “Jin Liu”.
They came here in clean and tidy clothes. At the beginning, they worked hard to repair various fortifications. Of course, they didn’t wear the armor, and the uniforms on their bodies quickly became dirty and torn. Working every day, everyone almost forgot whether they were here to fight or to do hard work.
In the winter months, the first snowfall has just fallen on Jinzhou, the weather is getting colder, not far from the east coast, and the sea breeze is strong. He had linen gloves on his head, but Yu Liang couldn’t resist the cold wind, his hands and face were cracked, and the wind hurt.
The days are short and the nights are long. Everyone stopped work early. It’s even harder to watch on duty at night. Fortunately, Yu Liang shouldn’t be the duty officer tonight.
Even Zhang Da muttered: “Even in our poor country, I don’t work when it snows in winter. Fortunately, I have enough food here…”
There are a dozen low-rise houses in the middle of the camp. They are short and sturdy, with a rammed wall underneath and thick wooden planks on top of felt. Not far away there was a mound of earth, on which stood two men covered in furs and were roasting.
This kind of house seems to be much better than a tent, but thirty or so people sleep in one house! There is too much work to build fortified houses.
Yu Liang took his number 30 man after eating, and everyone slumped into the low house. Most of the people went straight to the kang, and it was warm on it… This was the first time I saw it. It is said that it was specially designed by officials and soldiers. Burning coal under the house, the whole soil kang is hot.
Some people wipe their bodies behind the curtain. No matter how much work they do, taking a bath is very troublesome. Too many people are too small, so they just boil some water and wipe with a cloth towel.
The light in the house is dim, and there is a complex smell mixed with feet, sweat, and ass.
Yu Liang took out a “Sou Shen Ji” from the package and looked through it boringly. It was a free book, but I had read it all. The bustling comfort of Tokyo came to mind, as if hearing a beautiful little song.
Not far away, Zhang Sanchang stretched his neck and looked at Yu Liang in admiration.
At this moment, someone whispered: “What do you think of touching milk…”
Someone immediately responded, discussing there, and laughing “hehe” from time to time, Zhang San stared and listened, listening very deeply. I heard another voice saying: “I’m going back this time, I must go to the Drunken Red Mansion to have a taste.”
As soon as the voice fell, I suddenly heard a voice outside the door saying: “Li Du is here!”
Everyone immediately stopped laughing and got up from the kang, busy putting on clothes. A young and strong man similar to Yu Liang opened a thick leather curtain and walked in. He behaved completely differently from a prostitute. He pulled a face and made everyone a little scared.
The soldiers stood facing Li Dutou, Yu Liang led the group with fists in the army salute, and said together: “Meet Li Dutou.”
Li Dutou nodded, and said: “Leading the army to report to Tang, the main force of the Liao army has arrived in Youzhou. From tomorrow, Jinliubao will start preparing for war.” He turned his head and looked at a civil official. Confirmed, “Director Wang, is this the case with the order to the Juntang Report?”
Civil official said: “What Li Dutou said is not different.”
Li Dutou said again: “In addition, tomorrow morning the exercise will be cancelled. Everyone will take a bath and change the lining; as the above said, it will not be easy to fester if injured, and will be able to survive. In the night, the two people take turns. Does not disarm.”
Li Dutou turned around and left.
The barracks paused for a while, and it didn’t take long for everyone to shout excitedly. People have been working every day for a while, and people seem to be tired of it. Instead, they are a little bit anticipating about the war… The battlefield of the Southern Han Dynasty is that once the war starts, you can receive the reward home after the battle.
The past few days are obviously not so boring and plain. There are often horse soldiers coming and going outside the fortress. After a while, I heard that the scout had a conflict and killed people, and then I heard about where the Liao army had come. But I just heard that everyone has never seen even a Liao army.
The world gradually dimmed. Yu Liang carried a bucket of water from the wooden ladder and slowly climbed up the earth wall as high as one person. On the edge of the wall were compact wooden piles with pointed ones. He poured water along the outside of the wooden stakes onto the outer wall, and a hard thin layer of ice would form at night. Some soldiers nearby are also splashing water.
Yu Liang looked back and saw that some of his men were waiting to fetch water by the well, so he stretched his upper body and looked into the distance. The endless wilderness, like a wasteland in winter, can faintly see the houses of the village. There seemed to be nothing in the surroundings. He turned his head and looked to the right, but he could see a standing mound and two wooden towers, which were the guard towers in a nearby fortress.
One day passed like this again.
In the evening, according to the order of turns, Yu Liang and others were not allowed to disarm, and lay in bed to sleep in a fit. 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.
I don’t know how long it took, Yu Liang was suddenly awakened by a loud yell, and then he heard “Boom, bang, bang…” The sound of gongs and drums rang. He was taken aback and sat up abruptly, still confused in his mind not knowing what was going on.
At this time, a soldier “banged” the wooden door and ran in and shouted: “The enemy attacked the camp, get up quickly, everyone quickly go up to the wall and find your place!”
Yu Liang gradually recovered, he got up and shouted: “Get up, get your weapons and stand!”
He quickly grabbed a saber on the head of the bed and hung it on his waist, then picked up the crossbow and quiver. The 30-odd people in the house suddenly became noisy, and there were shouts outside.
Everyone got their weapons and helmets on, and soon stood in the house. Yu Liang’s mind was a little confused, and only then did he remember which position his team should be complicated. At the moment, he took people out of the house.
The noise outside is full of people, and it looks a bit chaotic. At this time, he saw Li Dutou coming out of his room with a sword, and he shouted: “People of the first capital, go directly to the wall and prepare for battle!”
Li Du looked up at the mound guard tower again, and shouted: “What are you stupefied! Light a beacon!”
The soldiers above hurriedly smashed an earthen jar and threw the torch. A big fire was “boomed” on it, and the camp was suddenly lit up.
Yu Liang’s heart “dangdangdang” sounded straight, and finally his brain was better. Thinking of the usual training process, he took out his waist knife “swish”, pointed to the ladders on the left and said: “First fire, go up !”
He himself ran up from the soil steps in the middle, and when all the soldiers saw this, they followed the wall.
Yu Liang’s eyes widened, and he climbed to the top of the ladder. When he saw that there was no one in the darkness outside, the piles of bonfires in the distance were shaking brightly in the dark. At this time, Yiqi appeared on the edge of the fire. The cavalry held a triangular red flag and shouted: “Your own person, don’t shoot arrows!”
The Li Dutou below roared: “Each team, the crossbow bolts are wound, the firearms are medicine!”
After a while, I saw ghostly shadows flashing past the fire in the distance. Some people lit the torch directly from the fire, and the light was full of horsemen!
The area that the fire can reach is limited, it looks like there are people outside! The entire fort was surrounded by a flood of people.
Those horse soldiers jumped off their horses, holding wooden shields and simple wooden ladders, and rushed over the horses outside. The battle was very scary because there were so many enemy soldiers and the more than 100 soldiers on the wall were weak.
“Stay steady!” Yu Liang yelled, and his voice was gone. His heart stretched into a line, and everyone worked very **** matters related to life and death.
But soon there was a scream. An enemy soldier was squeezed into the outermost trench. The inside was full of sharpened stakes and nails. You can imagine what the black paint would fall in.
So the tide outside was blocked by the ditch, and the enemy soldiers began to put the ladder flat on the ditch, and then came over cautiously, very slowly. The enemy soldiers at the back took a shovel and began to dig the soil to fill the pit.
The scene outside tossed endlessly, and the menacing momentum was immediately held there! When Yu Liang looked back, the second capital had already assembled. Soon the military commander yelled, and everyone went to the wall in batches.
Yu Liang heard the drum beat again in a rhythm, and the military commander’s voice shouted: “The first is to gather forces, and the second is to give way!”
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 gave Yu Liang a little more confidence.
After playing for a long time, the enemy soldiers wearing fur hats threw the shields outside, and then swarmed up from the side of the second trench. The enemy soldiers couldn’t fill the deep ditch in a hurry. After they damaged the pickets and nails in the ditch, they dug a place where they put their feet on the hook wall to get up from the ditch.
“Let it go!” Yu Liang pointed his saber down.
Suddenly there was a “cracking” chord, and the crossbow bolt flew obliquely under the dim firelight. There were screams below, and the crossbow bolt had good accuracy. Yu Liang saw the surviving enemy soldiers quickly grabbed the wooden shield and squatted there afraid to step forward.
Yu Liang saw clearly, and said: “Don’t change teams, firearms can’t reach, and the front row is back on the crossbow.”
At this moment, I heard a “chicking” sound of wood rubbing, and a rock bullet with a flick of fuse flew out of the camp. Not long after, I heard a “boom” explosion, and the fire was splashing in the distance, and there was a voice call.
Several ballistas on the wall vibrated vigorously, and the crossbow bolts with thick arms flew in the air! Enemy soldiers can climb over two trenches on foot, but horses cannot climb up. They throw arrows randomly below. The effect is not good. The elevation angle is large. The wall is narrow and blocked by wooden stakes, making it difficult to shoot the middleman.
The enemy soldier’s wooden shield was fortified in the distance, endured the casualties caused by the ballistae, and finally accumulated some troops. Suddenly the people yelled, holding the wooden shield and carrying the simple The ladder rushed over.
