Chapter 370: A hammer smashed

This small border town is called Huxiangcheng, which is an ordinary one among the many border towns of the Great Sui Empire. Compared with border towns that are famous for certain events, such as Baishui City, which is only a hundred miles away, Fenghuangtai in the east border, and Fangu City in the west river, the name Huxiangcheng may be destined to be unknown to most people.

However, there is a group of passionate men like those border soldiers in Baishui City, Fenghuangtai, and Fangu City. After losing supplies and losing support, they relied on themselves to go out to hunt, relying on saving food and relying on the hearts of the people behind them to defend the people behind them to the death, and never left.

Even if they are surrounded by tens of thousands of enemies.

When people in later generations discuss this war, they often excitedly discuss those exciting battles, but few people remember how many unknown men in such border towns fought to the last moment. The names of these border soldiers were also destined to not become the protagonists of history.

But each of them deserves to be remembered.

The border soldiers in the town of the countryside failed to protect their hometown, but each of them was still doing what they thought was right and worth doing. Perhaps people could not think about what support these people were supported by when the materials in a border city were so poor that they could not even lit a torch. Perhaps people could not believe that when the living people in a border city placed the bodies of their dead comrades on the wall to confuse the enemy, none of them had ever thought of opening the city gate to surrender.

This is a very magnificent and contradictory history. In the prosperous places of the Central Plains, almost all those who have the ability and courage to raise the flag to rebel have done this and no longer respect this empire called the Great Sui Dynasty. However, in the most difficult part of life in the border town, these soldiers still held their weapons tightly to guard the red battle flag on the city wall.

The Nanyan army outside the city was cut from the middle by the Black Flag Army cavalry, and then the Black Flag Army began to carry out a rush to rush into the group, pushing the chaos of the Nanyan army into the depths of the Nanyan camp. The Black Flag Army cavalry used a boiling soup to completely destroy the resistance that the Nanyan people had barely gathered together in a hurry.

The soldiers of Nanyan began to flee, aimlessly.

In the darkness, they could not tell where the safe direction was, but they kept telling themselves to run and not stop if they wanted to survive. The darkness made them lose their vigilance and many people lost their lives, but it was precisely because of the darkness that many of them survived.

Because the number of the Nanyan army posed a threat, Fang Jie ordered the cavalry not to stop attacking after defeating the enemy. Because ending the battle too early will give the defeated soldiers faster and more time to reintegrate. The cavalry controlled the speed of the war horses and always maintained pressure on the Nanyan army. In this way, where would the Nanyan army have a chance to stop and reintegrate?

They could only keep running forward.

So after dawn, when the Black Flag Army had already withdrawn its troops, the Nanyan soldiers who were scared to death were still running forward desperately, not even daring to look back.

Even though Fang Jie shouted out his identity under the city last night, the border troops in Huxiangcheng did not open the city gate immediately. When the east was white, the border soldiers could clearly see the red battle flags worn by the Black Flag Army and see the familiar armor they were wearing, so the border troops opened the gates of Huxiangcheng.

A man in the team looked haggard but couldn't hide his excitement, rushed out of the city gate, panting and ran to Fang Jie to give the most standard military salute.

"See General!"

The team had dark faces on their faces. I don’t know how long it took to be smoked by Feng and how long it took to wash their faces. There were many holes in his clothes, and there were a few places where blood was clearly visible.

"The army is in a low position in Zhou Ping, and the army protects the countryside and the city border!"

His lips were already dry and cracked, as if the land was dry and rainy for a long time, and each piece was full of holes. His hands were trembling slightly. I don’t know if it was too hurrying and tired or because he hadn’t eaten enough food for too long. And he was so careful in his excitement, because he didn’t have enough physical strength to support his excitement, so he felt a little sad.

"You are the highest military rank in the city now?"

Fang answered the question.

"yes!"

Zhou Ping nodded: "On the third day of the siege of the Nanyan army, don't kill Li Ershui in battle. He was shot in his eye socket by a cold arrow. At that time, he turned over from the city wall and was chopped into meat mud by the Nanyan people. On the thirteenth day of the siege, Cui Leng, the captain we elected, was cut to death by the enemy who attacked the city wall. He was at least a dozen stabs. Before he died, he jumped from the city wall with two Nanyan soldiers. They were dead and they didn't even keep the corpse, and they can't find it now."

"On the 14th day of the siege, the captain Dong Yao was cut off one of his left arm and legs by the enemy who was attacking. When we rushed over to support, the soldiers of Nanyan were cutting his stomach and his intestines were pulled out. He was so painful that he called his mother but refused to beg for mercy. After we killed the enemy who was attacking, we looked at him. He was stuffing the intestines into his stomach with only two fingers, and he was so scared that he cried... He died before he was stuffed, and the rest was something I helped to stuff back."

"On the night of the 14th day of the siege, the captain Zhang Jun asked someone to put him down from the city wall with a rope, and wanted to pick up some feather arrows and weapons. At that time, our feather arrows had been used up. As a result, they were seen by the scouts left by the Nanyan people. He and the other three brothers who went down to death, and then we wanted to pull him up, but he refused. Unlocked the rope and continued to collect feather arrows. When the opponent's reinforcements came, he picked up a total of 723 feather arrows. I counted carefully later and none of them would be bad, because these feather arrows came... it was not easy."

"At the end of the day, the enemy rushed forward, and we shouted to him to tie the ropes! He looked at the bundles of feather arrows he had just tied, he hesitated for a moment, tied the ropes to the feather arrows and let us pull them up. When he rushed to another rope, he was shot like a hedgehog by the enemy's arrows, and his whole body was covered with arrows... He went to pick up feather arrows, and in the end he was full of."

"Don't die, the captain, the captain is dead, the team is on the front... I am the last team in the town of Huxiang."

Zhou Ping grinned, but there was a flash of sadness in his eyes: "General, it would have been better if you had come one day earlier... The previous team died yesterday morning, with more than 30 wounds in his body... He was quite afraid of death. When I joined the army, he was the team leader. When I was the team leader, he was still the team leader. I didn't expect him to die in front of me... That guy kept muttering that he had saved enough money to go to Yongzhou to visit the brothel... Haha..."

He was laughing, looking a little stupid. He was clearly talking about his comrade who died in battle, but he could still laugh.

But he is really stupid?

Fang Jie went over and patted his shoulder, then handed over a pot of water: "Pack up and follow me."

"General!"

Zhou Ping was stunned: "Why don't you ask me how many living brothers there are in the city?"

Fang Jie stopped for a moment: "Even if you are the only one, I will come."

...

Nanyan Army Camp

Murong Yongduo's face turned as if he was ashen, he looked at a military newspaper that had just been sent, and then threw the teapot on the table to the ground with a bang. The water in the teapot was splashing everywhere, and the debris flew out far away.

"waste!"

He kicked the table over: "A bunch of waste!"

"Why is the general so angry?"

An aide asked quickly.

"Four days!"

Murong Yongduo said angrily: "In just four days, he was tied up two camps in a row, with a total of more than 50,000 people. He was defeated without even seeing what the other party came from! Even if the people behind him were recruits, did the general who led the troops know that he would set up a ranger's whistle? He didn't know how to deal with him in the face of danger? And! The convoy that sent supplies to the capital was looted, and everything was burned... His Majesty asked, how should I explain it!"

"God General!"

The staff member also changed his face when he heard this: "This matter...it cannot be blamed on the general who led the troops behind him. No one could have thought that a cavalry would suddenly come out, as if he had crawled out of hell, without any warning. They followed behind, and even more so that someone would attack at night. After all, the Sui army on Ping Shang Road was basically wiped out."

"This is not an excuse!"

Murong Yongduo said: "Even if I could not have imagined that this happened once, did others not expect to prevent it? Two camps were broken one after another, and the baggage was burned..."

After a while, he sighed and said, "Where did this cavalry come out!"

At this moment, another personal soldier ran in outside quickly: "General... a military officer has arrived!"

Murong Yongduo snatched the military newspaper, and after looking at it, his face recovered immediately turned blue: "Four days... the cavalry has rescued the Sui army trapped in the border town. Although the number of people rescued was less than a thousand, this is not a matter of the number of people at all! Once this news spreads, the Sui people will immediately be motivated!"

The staff said: "The Sui army cavalry came and went without a trace, which is really hard to guard against. But when it comes to it, I don't know what kind of people would do such an incomprehensible thing. I led a cavalry alone to rescue the border troops who were almost starving to death?"

"Unless General Sui, who led the troops, was a lunatic?"

He glanced at Murong Yongduo.

Murong Yongduo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "If he is really a madman, he is also a fearful madman... I passed my military order to make everyone behind him give up those cities that have not been taken down and all came to join me. Our troops are too scattered and easily divided and attacked... I don't believe that all the troops are concentrated together. With the cavalry of less than 10,000 people in his hands, they dare not fight directly!"

"The General is wise!"

The staff member praised: "As long as we gather all the scattered troops, including the slaves and He people we captured, there will be more than 100,000 people. Even if the Sui general who led the troops was crazy, he would not dare to fight easily. He only had to retreat."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone else ran in outside: "General, King He sent someone to ask if he knew where the cavalry came from. Two batches of King He sent people to send back the tribe have been burned in the past few days. King He was furious, but he couldn't find where the cavalry was."

"Send someone..."

Murong Yongduo said: "Go and tell the people sent by Tuhunduo, and ask him to go back and tell Tuhunduo to gather the troops, and don't be too dispersed. The Sui general who led the troops saw the scattered force, so he dared to rush around like this. He asked the He people not to send the captured supplies back for the time being, and they were all stored in the camp. Now we lack cavalry, so we can only guard against it first!"

"yes!"

The personal soldier hurriedly ran out.

"Where does this man...this cavalry... come from!"

Murong Yongduo bit his lips hatefully, his face solemn.

...

...

Chen Xiaoru wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the fire that was rising into the air and said with some distress: "This is the supplies sent back by the third batch of He people who burned them. Seeing this fire subordinates feel a little reluctant."

The fire was red with Fang Jie's face. He smiled and said, "It's a pity that it will burn it. It's to get more back in the future... With these three fires, whether it's the He people or the Nanyan people, they dare not send the supplies back easily. Especially the He people live in the deep forest and cannot take them back if they want to take them back. The best way is to prevent them from sending them back. As long as we stay, we will have the chance to grab them back."

"in addition……"
