Unparalleled Concubine

On the wall of Jimen Pass, a young captain with a bandage on his forehead was patrolling the area in charge of his captain's battalion. After several months of fighting, he had many wounds, big and small. The most fatal arrow shot A layer of skin was wiped off his forehead, and it was only half an inch away. His newlywed wife far in the southwest was about to become a widow.

The young captain told his subordinates over and over again that the barbarians should protect the vital points when attacking the city, and not attack the city directly when shooting arrows.

After giving the instructions, he began to check whether the kerosene rolling stones were enough, but before he finished the inspection, a familiar trembling sound came faintly from his ears!

This is the sound of horseshoes treading the ground!

Zhao Fang stopped, sighed faintly, looked towards the direction of the capital, and muttered to himself.

"Brother, if you don't come to save me, your sister may become a widow..."

After muttering this sentence, the youngest captain of the Zhenbei Army took a deep breath and sternly shouted at his subordinates.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Prepare to meet the enemy!"

Chapter 992

Fighting a war is an extremely cruel thing, it can even be said to be the cruelest thing in the world, not one of them.

Even in this era when there are no hot weapons, cold weapon warfare is very cruel. In terms of horseback riding and archery, the Han people are naturally inferior to these nomadic peoples, and the bows and crossbows that the Xianbei people are good at can even shoot through the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty as long as the distance is close enough. Armor, as for close combat, these red-eyed and fearless Xianbei people will fight you with their lives directly. Although they don't wear iron armor, they only wear simple leather armor, but the scimitar in their hand is extremely sharp. In the case of close combat, the Zhenbei Army can't take advantage of it, and even lose a little bit.

The only thing that the Zhenbei Army can rely on is the tall towers of Jimen Pass. Depending on the terrain, they can use stones and boiling oil to cause a lot of damage to the enemies who attack the city. However, whether it is stones, boiling oil or golden juice , After facing tens of thousands of people, you will feel a little weak. You can kill three or 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 place a row of Han captives in front of the army formation as human shields to resist the first round of arrow rain after Jimen closed. It is one of the most common methods at the border. It is so common that even the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army like Zhao Fang would not blink their eyes when they shot and killed Han prisoners.

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

After these Xianbei people rushed under the city tower, they immediately set up the ladder, and one by one, like crazy tigers, they desperately climbed towards the city wall.

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

"Whoever reaches Jimen Pass first will be rewarded with a thousand cattle and sheep, and a hundred beauties!"

After the Xianbei people were driven out of Jimen Pass by Ye Cheng, they lost the official position system of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The grassland has been a tribal form for decades, and there is no title or official position to speak of, but cattle, sheep and women will always be the grassland most precious possessions.

The people rushing to the front are all members of King Yuwenzhao's camp. They are more willing to believe in Yuwenzhao's orders than the people from the other three departments. Therefore, even though there are heavy casualties, they all rushed towards the city wall without thinking about their own lives!

Zhao Fang's Duwei Battalion was in charge of guarding a small section of the city wall. After this young captain in his early 20s shot and killed several Xianbei barbarians with a longbow, he saw several Xianbei people climbing up. Throwing down the long bow in his hand, he pulled out a long blue sword from his waist. He held the hilt with both hands, using the long sword as a long knife, and slashed directly at the head of the Xianbei who had climbed up!

In this kind of chaos, those who can climb the tower are naturally those with quick hands. The Xianbei man reacted quickly and drew out the scimitar in his waist to block. When the two weapons collided, the long sword just stopped. In an instant, the scimitar was chopped off, and half of the head of this extremely brave Xianbei warrior was directly chopped off by the Qingzhi sword!

His eyes widened and he fell down the city wall, dying with regret.

Dressed in a rough manner, Zhao Fang picked up the green pheasant sword that Li Xin lent him to use, and hacked and killed several Xianbei people. At the same time, the enemy shot an arrow on his right shoulder, and the point of the arrow penetrated half an inch into the flesh!

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

He looked around, looked at the situation on the city wall, turned his head to one of his subordinates, and shouted loudly: "Too many Xianbei people have climbed up here, report it quickly! Let General Wang reinforce our battalion!"

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

Half of Zhao Fang's body was stained red by the blood sprayed from his shoulders, but at this moment his blood was surging and he didn't feel any pain at all. He was still holding the green pheasant sword to kill people, but just after taking two steps, his eyes went black , fell to the ground, unconscious.

Not everyone is a unparalleled fighter like Ye Mao.

There are too few fierce generals on the battlefield. The Ye family is a blood lineage, and others can't learn it. In fact, most people are cannon fodder who may lose their lives at any time on the battlefield.

So is Zhao Fang.

When he returned to the capital with Li Xin in his early years, he was still a frail child. Although he had become stronger in the military training in the past few years, and he had also practiced punching with Li Xin for a few years, it was impossible for his body to be here. Practicing family boxing for a few years can become a fierce general. In fact, if Li Xin hadn't lent him his old general's inner armor and his Qingpheasant sword when he went to the north, Zhong Xiaoxiao would have been a widow by now!

Zhao Fang was unconscious and passed out on the ground. When he woke up, it was already dark. Zhao Fang looked around and found himself lying in a tent in the Zhenbei Army camp. In this tent, there were still A middle-aged general in his 50s.

It was Wang Dun, the deputy general of the 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 from the Jin Dynasty arrived in the Zhenbei Army, Wang Dun took over almost all military affairs. This middle-aged general, It can be said that he is actually the general of Zhenbei.

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

Only then did Wang Dun realize that Zhao Fang had woken up, and he immediately walked to Zhao Fang's bed, and said in a deep voice, "The arrow wound on Captain Zhao's shoulder was not shallow, and some bones were also injured. It will take at least two or three months to recover." Move, you must rest during this period of time, otherwise your right arm may be useless."

Zhao Fang gritted his teeth and endured it for a long time, the pain in his shoulder finally got better. He wiped his sweat with his left hand and asked, "General...are we...holding?"

"Hold it."

Wang Dun sighed: "The northern barbarians attacked the city yesterday, and they fought until sunset before withdrawing their troops. Our army tried their best to hold on, and finally survived, but lost a lot of people."

"Yesterday...yesterday?"

Wang Dun nodded, and said, "You've been in a coma all day and all night."

"When the soldiers led me to see you, your face was as pale as a dead man's, and you were covered in blood, which scared me to death."

Wang Dun glanced at Zhao Fang, and said with some helplessness: "Back then, Lord Li and the young father-in-law both told me to take care of you for a good life. You just came home and got married. If you die like this, don't you?" I don't know how many people have trouble with me."

Speaking of this, the gray-haired old general asked, "I heard that Captain Zhao married Li Taifu's sister?"

Zhao Fang reluctantly nodded, and said slowly, "Sister Yi."

"That's a great thing, too."

Speaking of this, 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."

There was a throbbing pain in his shoulder, which made Zhao Fang grin his teeth.

He gritted his teeth and said: "After five or six years in the Zhenbei Army, 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 told him to revitalize his family business, Li Shidao, the head of the Li family in Zhaojun, 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 stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Fang's left hand, and said slowly: "Yesterday our army defended very terribly. If the Yuwen Department came again a few times, it would be considered a miss at Jimen Pass, but the chief general sent by the imperial court did nothing. Even half of the reinforcements from the imperial court will not be able to come, so they will just hide in Jizhou city and drink."

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

"If he didn't have a good surname, he would be a waste!"

Having said that, Wang Dun looked up at Zhao Fang, and said in a deep voice, "Since Captain Zhao is Li Taifu's brother-in-law, he should be able to contact Li Taifu."
