Fufeng Song

At about the time of Shen, the army finally finished its rest, and the soldiers marched towards Guoshi Wubao with arrogance and arrogance.

It gets dark early in winter, and coupled with the influence of the bad weather, looking out from the Wubao, it is already blurry and unclear.The people in Wubao did not expect that an army would approach without a sound.They seemed flustered.Exclamations, shouts, running footsteps, etc. can be clearly heard outside Wubao.

"Shuowen Jiezi" says: "Wu, Xiaozhang also, one is also called Yucheng."It means that Wubao is a small defensive city.Dong Zhuo, a powerful official of the former Han Dynasty, built Meiwu in Guanzhong, which was seven feet high and called Longevity Wu.The so-called Wubao, probably so.Guojiawu Fort is not small in the south of Jinyang.The outside is square, and it is built with rammed earth. Some of the key points are wrapped with stones. There are tall watchtowers at the four corners of the dock wall.According to the scale calculation, there is no problem in accommodating more than a thousand people. <The robbers who are hungry and stealing grass; in September, five soldiers will be repaired, and they will practice war she, in order to prepare for the bandits who are cold and poor.It has considerable strength in all aspects of politics, economy and military.Due to its remote location, the Wubao in front of us has avoided several military disasters. Therefore, nearly 300% of the households in Jingling County are sheltered under it, and the strength of Wubao is growing.Just looking at the urgent mobilization of the wall as a defensive posture at this moment, there are no less than [-] people.

This was because Lu Yao's army rushed through the snow, which was completely beyond the expectations of the Fortress Master.Otherwise, if they waited for them to conscript all their tribes and then ask for help from the nearby wealthy families, they might be able to gather a team of more than a thousand people.

Lu Yao ordered his subordinates to line up in an open space about a hundred steps in front of Wubao's main gate, and ordered Chu Kun to negotiate.Chu Kun is young and vigorous, with a loud voice, which is just right for this trip.He strode outside the main entrance holding a huge "Lu" army flag, and shouted loudly: "Who is in charge in Wubao? Come out and answer!"

There was a rustle behind the door, and after a while, an old man stood out from behind the parapet.The old man's face was rather hale and hale, but a pair of hanging eyebrows ruined his image.The old man replied in a loud voice: "Guo Rong, the little man, is the elder of the village and the patriarch of the Guo clan. Which soldiers and horses are coming here outside the door?"

"The Marquis of Guangwu, General Zhonglang who protects the Xiongnu, and General Liu under the command of Bingzhou Inspector Liu Gong led his army to conquer the Xiongnu here! You are waiting to open the door to welcome!" Chu Kun responded.

Although Guo Rong had made several conjectures about the soldiers and horses in front of him, he was still surprised when he heard the name Chu Kun reported.

Could it be that General Pi, surnamed Lu, was the one who was stationed at Fenyang Pavilion and repeatedly summoned all the wealthy families?This fellow led hundreds of troops to Fenyang a few days ago, and dispatched envoys to gather various powerful families.But none of the powerful clans took him seriously, so they deliberately ignored him, intending to force him to leave without enduring the embarrassment.When the Jinyang side sends out other high-ranking officials, then the price can be raised on the ground.

Guo Rong never imagined that this Lu Yao was so rude that he came to the door immediately with soldiers.I hate the two house slaves I sent to Fenyang Pavilion to inquire about the news. They obviously didn't put their minds to it, and they didn't notice any signs... Afterwards, each of them must be whipped thirty or fifty times to make them remember!

As for the situation in front of me... whatever, whatever!This class of soldiers has always been vulgar, how can they know the rules?If you keep ignoring it, you don't know what will happen.Today, let's deal with the situation, first block them outside Wubao, and then slowly find a way to deal with it.

After thinking about it, Guo Rong said loudly: "It turned out to be General Lu! The people have admired General Lu's reputation for a long time, and the heads of the Guizhou Province suffered from the Xiongnu, all thanks to the protection of the general's divine power. Now that the king's teacher has arrived today, Xiaomin and others are all very happy! Please also take it with you, the general, and the common people are willing to donate one hundred dendrobium, ten sheep, and two cows to serve as military funds and to comfort the hard work of the king's army in marching and fighting! I don't know where your army is stationed? The offerings will be sent immediately Go up, and how much money is left, and then we will arrive!"

Guo Rong's answer is quite appropriate.He never said anything about his refusal of Lu Yao's invitation before, and his words were extremely humble and polite, he did not despise the officers and soldiers because of his status as a wealthy family, and even took the initiative to offer cattle and wine as comfort, his attitude was very low.Thousands of words, just ask the officers and soldiers not to enter Wubao.

Generally speaking, in recent years, the military discipline of the officers and soldiers has been abolished, and wherever they go, they are quite a nuisance to the people. It is also common for the neighbors to flatter them with supplies in exchange for the officers and soldiers to camp outside.It's a pity that Lu Yao sent troops this time, definitely not for those cattle, wine and property.While Guo Rong and Chu Kun were talking, Lu Yao waved his hand and summoned Shen Jin to give some instructions in a low voice, and Shen Jin nodded repeatedly.

In front of them, Chu Kun and Guo Rong exchanged a few back and forth answers, only to hear Guo Rong's repeated excuses, and immediately said angrily: "Old man Guo Rong, my general invited you at the Fenyang Pavilion, but you were suspicious and hesitated to come. Now my general came to the door in person. Come on, can we still sleep in the wild? Open the door quickly, let us enter Wubao to rest!"

Guo Rong showed panic, and said repeatedly: "Envoy, don't worry!" Then he stepped back from the wall, as if he was discussing with someone.After a while, he popped up again and said: "This matter is too important to be ignored! Please send the envoy to report to the commander of your army, and let me and the elders of the clan discuss it!"

The soldier had already received his orders, so Na Ken chatted with him, and shouted: "How dare you resist the imperial soldiers and horses! Just wait, and when you break through this fort, I will show your head to the public!" He turned around and went away amidst the scolding. Walk.

Guo Rong turned pale in shock, and called repeatedly: "Messenger! Messenger, wait a moment!" Before he finished speaking, he heard the strong wind blowing, and a fine iron arrow as thick as a finger hit his chest in the twilight outside Wubao. Come flying!

Guo Rong didn't have time to react, he exclaimed before he could speak, only heard the sound of "dang" and sparks scattered everywhere.It turned out that it was a burly man guarding him who drew his sword in time to block.The arrow was coming with great force, and the speed didn't slow down after being hit by the knife, it just changed direction slightly and passed by Guo Rong's shoulder.The big man stood with his sword horizontally, and cursed angrily: "Shameless villain!"

At this moment, there is no one to respond to him, only the arrows are coming through the wind.

Outside the main gate of Wubao, Shen Jin spat, as if he was not satisfied with his archery skills, then grinned grinningly and put another carved feather arrow on the iron bow.There were dozens of crossbowmen beside him, and they fired with strong bows and crossbows one after another, knocking down the strong men on the wall one by one.

Lu Yao, who was in front of the formation, raised his saber expressionlessly and pointed forward: "Soldiers, go!" Many soldiers had already held their sabers in their hands and were eager to try. Hearing Lu Yao's order, everyone immediately roared like thunder, rushed past.

The Wubao tribes defending on the wall had been prepared for a long time. Although many people were caught off guard at first, but the rest of them reacted quickly. They hid behind the female wall and used their bows and arrows to attack the officers and soldiers who came to kill them. They shot violently, and several brave soldiers who rushed to the front were shot as if they were hedgehogs.

If it is an ordinary army, such a tragedy will make many people feel fear and slow down.However, Lu Yao's subordinates were mainly composed of the remnants of the Bingzhou Army who had experienced many battles. They were not affected at all and continued to charge.Even if you are hit by an arrow, as long as it is not critical, you will not hesitate to keep moving forward.

When the officers and soldiers rushed to the main gate of Wubao, bricks, rocks and logs fell from the wall like a rainstorm, so that the soldiers could hardly lift their heads.They braved the huge threat above their heads to repeatedly hit the main entrance. The main entrance was made of pine planks as thick as half a foot, which was extremely strong, and the triple latch was firmly fixed on the back. How could it be pushed?

When Zhengzuo had no choice but to hear Xue Tong yelling: "Withdraw! Withdraw!" The soldiers immediately withdrew.

The Jin army also gradually moved back, slowly retreating behind a piece of woodland far from Wubao.

After a while, I heard Chu Kun yelling again: "Good for you, Guo Shiwubao! Good for you, Guo Rong old man! How dare you hurt our people! Wait, wait until we go into the fort and ask you nice!"

Although the roar was loud, coupled with the scene of the Jin army retreating, it could not help but sound harsh.The Wubao tribe immediately let out a burst of laughter.

Guo Rong didn't dare to be careless, and asked the big man with a knife beside him, "Master Feng Zhuang, I wonder how the situation is with you?"

This man surnamed Feng was originally a warrior in the imperial army. After his defeat, he was hired as a coach by Guo Rong with a lot of money.In the current situation, Guo Rong is going to rely heavily on his understanding of the court soldiers and horses.

The man surnamed Feng stared at the Jin army that was gradually retreating, and said with some emotion: "Over the years, the combat effectiveness of the imperial army has become weaker and weaker. When this army rushed up just now, it looked like a strong army, but it retreated when it encountered setbacks. , it’s nothing more than mediocre.”

Guo Rong showed joy: "Does Feng Zhuangshi mean that they will retreat?"

The man surnamed Feng shook his head: "Patriarch Guo, they have driven to Tuomugang in such a bad climate, they must have a major conspiracy, they will never withdraw so easily, they will soon regroup and attack again ..."

Guo Rong's expression moved slightly, and the man surnamed Feng said again: "Patriarch, don't worry, Fenyang Pavilion is nearly a hundred miles away from Tuomugang, and the road is difficult to walk in snowy weather. They must be exhausted after trekking here. What's more at this time It's getting late, I guess they will attack once or twice at most, and they will definitely retreat. As soon as tomorrow, the Guo clan will gather bravely, and the Zuojin rich clan will send people to help, the advantage will be completely in our hands .”

"Okay!" Guo Rong was overjoyed, he raised his arms and shouted: "Boys! Officers and soldiers are useless, and they are no match for our good men of the Guo family! Everyone work harder, beat them back, everyone will be rewarded!"

The Buqu disciples guarding on the wall responded in unison, their morale was extremely high.

After a while, the Jin army came to kill again. This time their team was surrounded by several long ladders, which were obviously caused by temporary felling of trees.As usual, Guo's trilogy was served with bows and arrows, rolling logs, and rocks, which overwhelmed many people.

More officers and soldiers rushed closer, and then used long ladders to build on the top of the wall. Several brave men in double armor brandished their knives and spears and climbed up the long ladder first, trying to jump up the wall.One of the officers and soldiers named Zhang Huan was a well-known expert under Xue Tong's subordinates. He stood at the top of the long ladder, holding a [-]-jin big knife in each hand to slash left and right.The following soldiers were about to catch up, when they heard a loud shout, the big man surnamed Feng who had blocked Shen Jin's arrow with a knife just now rushed towards him.After the two fought each other for several moves, the big man took a look at the gap, kicked Zhang Huan off the wall, and fell half to death.The rest of the long ladders were also pushed down, and the warriors who rushed up the wall first were killed one by one by the Wubao Buqu.

This kind of Wubao is only owned by one family for several generations, and the reserves of rolling logs, stones and the like are very sufficient. Even if the incident happens suddenly, it still maintains a strong defense capability.

Seeing that the attack of the officers and soldiers was thwarted for the second time, bursts of ridicule came from the top of the Wubao wall.

At this moment, He Yun, who was standing beside Lu Yao, pulled out an arrow wrapped in tarpaulin, lit it on the torch, and shot it into the sky with a whoosh.

After the rocket took off, there was a sudden killing sound from behind Wubao.

It turned out that Shen Jin and others faked a strong attack at the main gate, just to attract the attention of the Guo clan.Long before the team arrived at the main gate of Guoshi Wubao, Gao Xiang took more than a hundred soldiers, carrying ladders and other things, and quietly hid under the back wall of Wubao, waiting for the rocket to suddenly enter Wubao.

The army of officers gathered in front of Wubao, and after the battle broke out, they kept attacking the main gate of Wubao, gradually attracting all the strong men in the fort to this direction.

At this moment, the defensive forces on the back wall and other places are very weak, with only 50 people at most.Wearing heavy armor and holding a long knife in his mouth, Gao Xiang was the first to climb onto the wall and killed them immediately.Immediately, the soldiers were urged to enter the interior of Wubao and set fires along the way.
