I'm playing tricks in Daqin

Ren Bin responded with a cold expression, took out a letter from his arms, handed it to the guard, and told him to hand it to Li Wendong.

The news that Li Wendong led his troops arrived did not give him any hope, because the letter written by Li Wendong to him had been delivered to him more than two hours ago, and all the support Li Wendong could give him was sufficient food and grass and some Except for heavy siege equipment, there are only less than 1 soldiers.

His original more than 5 people went through dozens of days and nights of non-stop attacks, and suffered extremely heavy losses. Only [-] people remained. With such casualties, it is a miracle that the army did not collapse.

What he needs is at least 8 to [-] reinforcements, and a large number of heavy siege equipment. Unless he recruits all the young and strong from all the counties under his jurisdiction, he may be able to make up this number.

However, God has not given him this time.

The guard took the order and left. The expression on Ren Bin's face was sad at first, and then turned into despair. He gritted his teeth and drew out his sword, and said loudly: "Boys, it's time to make meritorious deeds. This prefect will lead you personally!" Siege the city, whoever climbs the city first will be promoted to three ranks, and will be rewarded with 1 taels of silver!"

"I will follow you to the death!"

The surrounding soldiers roared in unison, and with the heavy reward, and the prefect personally leading the army to attack the city, everyone was encouraged and stimulated, the morale that was originally low was stimulated in a blink of an eye, and the fighting spirit became extremely high.

"Okay, follow me!"

Ren Bin pointed the long sword in the direction of the city, grabbed a shield from the guard's hand, and rode out first.

"My lord can't..."

The guards were startled, and hurriedly urged their horses to follow. Your lord is going to lead the army to attack the city himself, is it crazy?

Ren Bin was indeed insane, the pattering rain had already made him desperate, he had only two choices now, either recover Baimo City, or die in battle.

Amidst the earth-shattering rumble of drums, Tang Bing, whose fighting spirit was stimulated, howled, and under the leadership of Ren Bin, once again launched an attack on the city.

They bravely and fearlessly passed through the two death zones formed by stone bullets and arrow rain, rushed to the bottom of the city, put the ladder on the high city wall, and climbed up one by one.

The Qin soldiers defending the city blocked the Tang soldiers from climbing up with various defensive weapons, and the soldiers on both sides fought bloody battles until they died in battle.

"Attack, attack!"

Ren Bin, who came to the front line of the battle, held a shield in one hand and commanded in the other, shouting loudly, commanding the soldiers to attack the city.

Inspired by him, some brave Tang soldiers climbed to the top of the city and fought with the defenders. Although they were brave, they were all drowned by the forest of knives and spears.

During the scuffle, Ren Bin's shiny silver armor was particularly conspicuous among thousands of troops, and attracted the attention of more than a dozen archers in the city.

These dozens of archers are not ordinary archers in the army, but sharpshooters who enjoy certain treatment and privileges, official snipers.

The new word sniper is naturally written by Li Wei. As a traveler, Li Wei has seen some modern war movies and knows the horror of snipers. Therefore, he specially selected them from the army or ranger hunters. A group of [-]-shot sharpshooters conducted special training and taught them some advanced tactics, such as shooting and killing the enemy's officers, generals or important figures.

The commander-in-chief is the soul of an army, and grassroots officers with rich combat experience are the cornerstone of this army. Military orders are issued layer by layer.

If the officer is killed, the entire team will lose command, the soldiers will be at a loss, and their morale will inevitably be affected. No matter how elite soldiers are, they will not be able to exert [-]% of their combat effectiveness, and the recruits may even collapse directly.

Li Wei also learned from modern military and got snipers. However, other snipers play big snipers, while his snipers play bows and arrows.

Bows and arrows cannot be compared with guns. Even a sharpshooter who can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps cannot guarantee a hundred shots. Therefore, a sniper team is usually equipped with two to three sharpshooters, and a guard. After the target is determined, several sharpshooters shoot at the same time. With cold arrows, one arrow may miss. If two or three arrows are shot at the same time, the hit rate will be greatly improved.

In Li Wei's words, this is called insurance, and this is called efficiency.

Snipers are special new arms, assigned under the jurisdiction of the Legion Headquarters. As a general rule, a school is equipped with about five sniper teams, and the personnel of all sniper teams are chosen by the team members themselves. Those who are not brothers and cousins ​​are also fellow villagers, and some are comrades-in-arms who chat well and cooperate quite tacitly.

This alternative new type of army also enjoys the treatment of junior officers and above, and records military exploits depending on the number of military positions that shoot the target. They also enjoy the privilege of swimming outside the battlefield under special circumstances and lurking to hunt and kill enemy chiefs.

In short, the treatment of this alternative army created by the young master himself is so enviable, who wouldn't want to get involved?

It is precisely because of the huge pressure of competition that the training of snipers is also very hard. Even if the training intensity is not as deadly as that of special nights, it is definitely not something ordinary soldiers can bear.

This kind of city defensive battle is a stage for snipers to perform and a good battlefield for military achievements. Li Wei naturally sent all the snipers to the top of the city to take turns to kill the enemy. After more than ten days of tragic defensive battles, The snipers of each group have added a lot of military exploits to the record book.

The dozens of snipers focused on Ren Bin who was commanding the siege in front of the formation, and he was definitely a high-ranking official above the school lieutenant level!The officers of each sniper team gestured and gestured, and a dozen sharpshooters opened their bows and set arrows at the same time, locking on to the target.

Chapter 328 Hidden danger

Li Wendong had read Ren Bin's handwritten letter, and was very anxious, so he hurried on his way.

The two were officials in the same dynasty, both Qingliu civil officials, and enjoyed a certain reputation among scholars. At the same time, they were in charge of the army of a province and county, and they were in charge of one side, and they were not far apart. , but it did not prevent the two from cherishing each other. This time, Ren Bin wrote him a lot of things in the letter.

The consequences of losing Baimo City are very serious. Ren Bin must take responsibility, but perhaps his life can be saved under the protection of the courtiers. Li Wendong hopes that he will leave the guilty body to serve the empire. After all, there are not many talents like Ren Bin .

However, when he arrived in a hurry, Ren Bin was already dead before the battle. He was shot with dozens of arrows, at least six of which were fatal, and even Da Luo's elixir could not save him.

Also because of his death, the morale of Tang soldiers dropped to freezing point, and they all retreated to the camp. Fortunately, the "rebels" in the city did not take advantage of the momentum to launch a counterattack, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Li Wendong took over the military power justifiably, and ordered his soldiers to strengthen their vigilance to guard against surprise attacks by the rebels, and at the same time cover the people who migrated with them and evacuate to several nearby county towns. As for Ren Bin's subordinates, their morale was low and they were unable to fight anymore. Lili, the ground is wet and slippery, if we forcefully launch an attack, it will only increase casualties.

He made a decisive decision and ordered Ren Bin's subordinates to cover the people and escort the luggage to retreat first, and he personally led 8000 people from his headquarters to the rear.

Li Wei, Wu You and others stood on the top of the city in the rain and watched the Tang army retreat. The retreating team was orderly, and they couldn't help but sigh Li Wendong's determination and talent.

Wu You laughed strangely, "Li Wendong is indeed talented, but if he retreats like this before a battle, it will inevitably leave him with the criticism of being attacked by political opponents."

In Li Wendong's current situation, retreat is the only and the most sensible choice. However, such a decisive order to retreat will inevitably leave him with the criticism of being attacked by political opponents. If it were him, he would pretend to launch a feint before retreating. Nothing wrong with it will be caught by political enemies.

"How is the arrangement?"

Li Wei nodded, what kind of character a person has, what kind of behavior style, in short, Li Wendong is indeed at the level of a master, even if he can't recruit him, he can't leave it to Tang Wang Jili.

"Young master, please don't worry, you have already notified the other side."

Wu You said with a smile, when the spring of the next year, the Tang army wiped out Wang Tang's rebel army, and the situation stabilized, the forces of all parties must fight fiercely for their own interests. Li Wendong's "inaction,"

It must also become a victim of the struggle of various forces.

When the cold wind blew, Li Wei couldn't help shrinking his neck, "It's so cold."

"Snowing."

"Hey, it's really snowing."

At some point, the originally pattering raindrops turned into light snowflakes, dancing in the air one after another.

Under the city, a large number of people and soldiers are busy cleaning up a messy battlefield. The remains of soldiers killed in battle on both sides have to be separated. Weapons and armor are collected and put into storage for storage, and will be refurbished in the future.

The military exploits of the soldiers need to be verified statistically, and then reported to the prime minister, who will be rewarded after approval. This is a procedure and a rule. Unless there are special circumstances, Li Wei can't break the rules.

The matter of the reward was postponed, but it was necessary to reward the three armies by slaughtering pigs and sheep. The city was full of joy and excitement.

The local aristocratic gentry brought a lot of condolences such as pigs, chickens, cattle, sheep, water, wine, tea, grain, and cloth. They all knew what happened to the so-called Qingfengzhai rebels. Today has changed, and they want to keep their existing interests. , It won't work without some blood.

Li Wei did not refuse anyone who came, he accepted bribes wantonly, and his own officials counted them into the treasury. These aristocratic gentry were generous enough, at least enough to relieve the current pressure on food and grass. He was quite satisfied, but he was still not satisfied. field.

There are a large number of refugees in their hands. These refugees are not only a large amount of labor, but also a dangerous force that cannot be underestimated.

However, before the situation in Baimo City is completely stabilized, he will not make any moves. Refugees are also the foundation of the family's gentry earning wealth. If they are disturbed, some impatient people will definitely jump out. When the time comes, he can justifiably raise his butcher's knife and confiscate their property.

The wishful abacus was playing, Li Wei was in a good mood, and spent the whole night working hard with his concubine Qing'er to carry out the great project of making a villain.

When I woke up the next day, the sky and the earth had turned into a silvery white. Fortunately, I had already prepared a lot of winter clothes, charcoal and other cold-proof stuff, and no soldiers were exposed to the cold.

It was freezing cold, everyone huddled in the house, warmed up around the brazier, and the rich and big families hugged their concubines, drinking fine wine, and admiring the moving dance of the singer.

The poor drink low-quality water wine mixed with water, and after the snow stops, they still have to work for their livelihood.

But at this time, there was a roar of killing in the city of Dan County, blood flowed like a river, and the white snow was dyed red.

The 30 well-equipped army led by Han Rui, a famous general of the Tang Empire, and the 20 rebel army led by Wang Tang are fighting fiercely.

Wang Tang did not listen to the dissuasion of the military advisor Wen Junchen, and insisted on a decisive battle with the Tang army. Facing the well-equipped, well-trained 30 Tang army with thunderbolt chariots to help fight, the 20 cavalry on the left wing of the rebel army confronted the 14 cavalry of the Tang army. It collapsed first, and then the Chinese army was attacked by iron cavalry and was chiseled through. The Tang army's iron cavalry charged repeatedly, and the Chinese army collapsed. Except for more than 2 people who followed the leader Wang Tang to retreat to Wulonggang, the rest disappeared.

Wang Tang fled back to Wulong Mountain with the remnants of his troops, only to find that military advisor Wen Junchen and other advisers and generals had disappeared collectively.

Han Rui originally had an army of 30, and lost more than 14 in the battle. He dispersed the captured 40 rebels into various armies, and his strength suddenly increased to [-].

Although the terrain of Wulonggang was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was still snowing heavily, the Tang army, armed with the spirit of victory and morale like a rainbow, launched a crazy attack on the Wulonggang fortress, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

Han Rui accepted the advice of his staff and ordered the soldiers to pile up snow to build snow towers that were higher than the city walls of the fortress. A large number of archers stood on the snow towers and attacked the rebels who were holding on to the fortress, plus more than 500 vehicles. The indiscriminate bombing of the thunderbolt chariots caused heavy losses and low morale to the rebels who held on to the fortress.

The weapons and equipment of the rebel army were inferior, and the equipment for defending the city was pitiful, and they were short of clothing and food. Facing the crazy attack of the Tang army, it was a miracle to be able to hold on for more than ten days.

While the fierce offensive and defensive battle of the Wulonggang Fortress was going on, in the cold wind of the call sign, heavy snow fell, and a huge team marched hard on the snow.

Chapter 329 Feng Shui Turns

The team marching hard against the heavy wind and snow was huge, with [-] to [-] people.

They are all poor people with yellow faces and skinny faces. When Wang Tang raised an incident, they were desperate and responded accordingly. In addition to the poor people who kept pouring in from nearby, more and more people gathered in Wulonggang, and there were more than one million people.

The arrival of these people brought benefits to Wang Tang, but it also made him dizzy. He got a lot of troops and great momentum, but how could he have so much food to feed these people?

People came to him because of his fame, and it was impossible not to accept it, and it was very troublesome to accept it. Wang Tang, who had nothing to do, adopted the strategy of military advisor Wen Junchen, and first borrowed the hands of Tang Jun to eradicate some ambitious and unruly people. Guy, it not only relieves the huge burden of food, but also attracts the attention of officers and soldiers, relieves pressure, and kills birds with one stone.

Afterwards, he followed Wen Junchen's suggestion and encouraged the people to defect to the Qingfengzhai Rebel Army who occupied Baimo City. However, no matter how much Wen Junchen spent his words, only 6 or [-] people were willing to go to Baimo City because of the long distance , and it’s icy and snowy again, God knows if he will freeze to death on the road?Moreover, they have to pass through several counties under the jurisdiction of Baimo City, where Li Wendong's tens of thousands of troops are stationed, will Li Wendong let them pass?

Wen Junchen was not worried at all. It would be no wonder that the officers and soldiers would open the gates of the city when [-] to [-] hungry people rushed in at once. Food, otherwise, local parent officials are asking for trouble.

Surrounded by dozens of guards, Wen Junchen walked at the front of the team. They were all wearing worn-out cotton jackets, and they looked like they were poor and destitute.

With so many people on the big migration, even though Wen Junchen had made sufficient preparations, it was still difficult for Wen Junchen to resist the severe cold. In addition, the road was difficult to walk, and he only walked thirty or forty miles a day. A few people camped at night and froze to death. Although they were nervous about eating, there were still some mules and horses carrying food. Wen Junchen ordered dozens of them to be slaughtered, and everyone could drink delicious mule porridge. The cold was driven away and some physical strength was added.

After walking for three full days, the team passed through the dangerous road of Wulong Mountain and began to enter the boundary of Xiaowu Mountain.

The people were moving very slowly. Wang Tang originally wanted to send someone to chase Wen Junchen and the others back, but in the end he just sighed. He regretted not listening to Junjun Wen's dissuasion and insisted on going his own way.

It would be good to let Army Division Wen go there first, at least there will be an extra route of retreat. If you can't defend the Wulonggang Fortress, it won't be too late to lead your troops to go there, no matter how bad it is, there will be a place to stay.

In the end, he didn't send anyone to chase Wen Junchen and others back. In addition, Tang Jun's crazy siege of the city increased his pressure, and he didn't have more time to think about this issue.

When Wen Junchen and others arrived at the boundary of Xiaowu Mountain, they were stopped by the "butcher" Wang Mazi and his crowd.

Wang Mazi was besieged on Xiaowu Mountain by Ren Bin's army before, and he did not escape until Ren Bin led his army to attack Baimo City. He couldn't wait to lead his army to attack the nearest Li County, not wanting the officers and soldiers in the city to resist desperately. He also lacked large-scale siege equipment, lost thousands of people, but could not even capture a small county town.

Afterwards, he led the crowd to attack Mi County, also losing troops and generals. He heard that Ren Bin died in battle at Baimo City, Changchuan prefect Li Wendong took over the military power, and led the army to retreat. He was so frightened that he fled back to Xiaocang Mountain.

It is indeed safe to hide in the mountains. Li Wendong is stationed in several counties under the jurisdiction of Baimo County. There are too many things to deal with, and a large number of immigrants who follow him need to be resettled. Wang Mazi didn't come to attack the city, so he was happy to talk about the affairs in hand, and he was in a peaceful coexistence.

However, in addition to the bare trees and white snow in the mountains, there is only the piercing north wind. If drinking the northwest wind can fill his stomach, Wang Mazi is willing to continue hiding in the mountains and be his king of the mountain.

With little clothes and no food, Wang Mazi couldn't stay in the mountains anymore. He had a lot of gold and silver pearls he had plundered, but he had nowhere to buy food. The places are all under the control of the army.

If you have money, you can't buy food, and if you want to rob, you have to break through the city guarded by the officers and soldiers first. In desperation, Wang Mazi wants to send someone back to Wulonggang for help, hoping that Wang Tang can provide some food.

Unexpectedly, Wang Tang was beaten up by the officers and soldiers, I'm afraid he couldn't take care of himself.

When he was frowning, someone came down to report that a large number of people came from the dangerous road of Wulong Mountain and were heading this way.

Wang Mazi couldn't help being happy, he was worrying about the food issue, now it's over, someone delivered it to his door, the God of Longevity has really cared for him, so he will burn a few more sticks of incense for him later.

He knew that these people came from Wulonggang, maybe it was because of Wang Tang's defeat?

He also knew that these people were so poor that they couldn't even fill their stomachs. However, if they searched carefully, they could scrape together some food and get a few beautiful ladies up the mountain. No one warmed their beds, it was really lonely.

Wang Mazi was originally the king of the mountain who blocked the road and robbed him. He raised the banner of rebellion just to fish in troubled waters, but he couldn't get anything to eat, so he simply went back to his old business.

"Mr. Wen..."

Seeing Wen Junchen and the others, Wang Mazi was stunned for a moment, and then he felt secretly happy. Since he was his own person, he was naturally embarrassed to rob them, but he still had to ask for some food and supplies, right? "Your Majesty, that's great."

Wen Junchen had an expression of surprise on his face, and then he saluted him respectfully, the courtesy a subordinate would give when they saw a superior.

"Hey, Junshi Wen, you are..."

Wang Mazi was a little flattered. Wen Junchen was Wang Tang's most trusted chief adviser, and his position in the rebel army was detached. All the leaders obeyed him, and he was a little inferior in front of this resourceful military adviser.

The reason why Wang Tang was able to defeat the officers and soldiers who were attacking and suppressing one after another was all due to the advice of Military Division Wen, and he still had a little respect for this Military Division Wen.

Now, this respected military adviser gave him a big gift, which was a big gift that Wang Tang, the leader of the rebel army, could afford. The expression on his face was sincere and respectful, as if he was not joking, which really shocked him.

Military division Wen's brain is broken?

Or... Wang Mazi is a rough person with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, which makes him feel that his brain is not enough.

"Prince Wang, please move to speak."

Wen Junchen made an inviting gesture, with a respectful expression on his face, as if Wang Mazi was his superior.

The befuddled Wang Mazi was stunned for a moment, and then started to move away. Wen Junchen did not stand by him, but took a half step back, which made Wang Mazi's heart beat wildly. Could it be that Junjun Wen wanted to join him?

If this is the case, with this resourceful military adviser, he will be able to solve all kinds of headaches for him, hehe.

He is not afraid of Wang Tang at all now. Wang Tang, who had 25 people, was beaten to pieces by the army. It is said that many people died and even more were captured. The army is now storming the Wulonggang fortress. Even if Wang Tang abandons Wulonggang and retreats, there may not be many people left. He has an army of nearly 3 people in his hand.

Wen Junchen curled his lips and said softly: "Does the king know the rebels in Qingfengzhai?"

3 Chapter Thirty

If we say that the former Qingfengzhai Rebel Army was unknown, but now everyone knows that they captured Baimojian City, withstood the crazy attack of [-] elite officers, and shot and killed Baimo City’s prefect Ren Bin. Tang Yijun still wants to be coaxed.

"Mr. Wen was ordered by the chief..."
