127, on the verge of war(2/2)
"We brothers came out just for military glory. With the Marquis protecting us, we don't have to worry about being greedy for credit."
"If we don't fight, I don't know when I will be promoted." Xiaowu also changed into a centurion's armor. Even after returning to Liangdu, he would be more or less respectfully called 'general', which is quite impressive.
Ranked, although only from the ninth grade.
"It's a pity that the Marquis is not here."
When everyone mentioned Wen Yue, they all sighed together.
Now, only half a year has passed, and the brothers have all changed.
Their combat power is higher than that of ordinary people. They are skilled in fighting on the battlefield and are skilled in military formations. They are not comparable to new recruits. They can be promoted with heads. In the recent small-scale trial, Tietou beheaded dozens of people, which can be said to be
He is a fierce general.
Without the constraints of civil servants, the top and bottom of Tongguan completely became a rope. This was also due to the fact that Wen Yue had nothing to do after returning to Liangdu, and instead he was promoted to a higher position.
Annanbo was a commander who knew how to fight, so the number of soldiers lost was not high.
Now everyone can see that the original small-scale battle was just a trial, and the big war has not yet come.
"Tongguan."
The general of the Northern Wei Dynasty sat on his horse and stood on the mountain, overlooking the great city of Tongguan. The city was so majestic that if it were filled with human lives, there is no telling how many people would die.
It was hard to disobey the king's orders, even if they knew it was difficult to attack, they still had to take down Tongguan City.
"How is the deployment of engineering equipment going?"
"Go back to the commander-in-chief. They are being shipped. Once assembled, we can attack the city by the end of the month."
Large ships were used to transport siege equipment, catapults were used to cover the buildings, carts stretched their arms to climb the stairs, arrows rained down on their feet, and giant crossbow arrows were connected with hooks and locks.
The siege beast that crashed into the door was ready to attack.
Not to mention that Tongguan is a big city that is difficult to break. Even if it is made of copper, they still have to tear it open.
…
"Eight hundred miles urgent!"
"Report."
"Report!!!"
The long cry cut through the hazy morning in Liangdu, waking up all those who were still sleeping.
A red flag is tied to the communications officer.
Three cavalry accompanied him, and a team of eight people.
Eight hundred miles of expedited travel, a total of one hundred memorials.
The people stopped, the horses stopped, and the memorials continued.
At the midway station, people and horses were changed, and the horses were accelerated.
Not to mention the bandits who didn't dare to stop the Eight Hundred Mile Express, even the demons and monsters had to give way.
A memorial went straight to the court.
Let’s have another big meeting.
Emperor Liang's expression was solemn and gloomy. Now there was no need to keep his emotions secret. The Northern Wei Dynasty raised an army of 300,000 to formally attack the city. If reinforcements were not sent, there would definitely be trouble at Tongguan.
"My dear friends, do you have any countermeasures?"
"I think we should mobilize the three major battalions in Kyoto and the garrison troops from various states and counties to overcome this difficulty first."
"Your Majesty, the Northern Wei Dynasty is coming fiercely, but the great city of Tongguan is tough and cannot be broken by ordinary people."
"..."
Emperor Liang asked again: "Who do you think can be the commander-in-chief of the army?"
"this……"
With Wen Yue's lesson learned, they didn't want to go, but the nobles in Liangdu were almost beaten last time. Now the only ones left are the old, weak, sick and disabled. If they really want to send people, they can only send the old people.
"Your Majesty, An Nan Bo and Song Hao Ke are the commander-in-chief."
"I second the proposal."
Emperor Liang pondered, in fact, before the court meeting began, Marquis Wu'an had already sent a memorial, asking for a fight.
But there has never been any precedent of sending Qi practitioners to the battlefield.
And since the last time, Emperor Liang really didn't want to have anything to do with Marquis Wu'an.
