Chapter 458 Difficult Start
At the border, ten days ago, in the barracks under Langya Mountain.
"Langya Mountain can't be attacked for a long time. It's very strange." Deng Jun hurriedly turned around in the tent. Lu Shen didn't care about him and was in a daze at the sand table with Kong Jie.
The Langya Mountain is in an excellent location, occupying the high ground and becoming a state of overlooking. There are trenches and low walls around it. The archers guard behind the wall all day long, changing shifts every two hours without any slacking.
Where is this a copycat of ordinary strong people? It is clearly a defensive posture that can only be made by well-trained soldiers. The leader must be a very experienced person. He knows that the strength of Lu Shen's army is too different, and he only attacks from time to time, which is not just a just right battle letter.
Let Lu Shen's sergeants scold and fight under the peak, but they don't want to fight.
After more than ten days, the generals of the Dafeng Dynasty scolded and had to beware of enemy sneak attacks from time to time, which made people tired, exhausted and miserable.
Lu Shen and Kong Jie are very anxious when they patrol day-to-day. This situation is really a headache. On the one hand, they can't attack for a long time, and on the other hand, they can't fight. When will such an impasse be broken?
"This people and horses on Langya Mountain are obviously well-trained soldiers. What kind of strong green people are there?" Deng Jun shouted loudly, and such a stuffy battle made him unable to raise his head in front of Lu Shen.
"Deng Jun is right. You and I know the origin of this group of people. Hey, it's not easy to do." Lu Shen sighed.
Kong Jie habitually touched his sword and said thoughtfully, "For today's plan, it's better to ask Your Majesty to send other counselors to encourage the battle. It's true that the general is familiar with the matter of bowing and horse, but it's better to have a staff to meet such a cunning opponent."
Lu Shen said "Oh" and heard it, but he was thinking of something else in his heart.
Several people were talking, and there was a noise outside the tent. Lu Shen sank his face and shouted, "In front of the war, who is shouting and disturbing the heart of the army?"
"Report!"
"Report to the general, a group of strong people came down from Langya Mountain. It was very powerful. The soldiers could not resist and returned to the village."
Deng Jun thought for a moment and didn't say anything. For a long time, Lu Shen sighed: "What a strong man in the green forest? Humph, how can this Langya Mountain stop me?"
In the tone, it is full of domineering nature.
"How long will the remaining grain and fodder last?"
"There are only two days left to return to the general."
Lu Shen began to be silent.
"Come on, send scouts to explore along the peak, limit you to one day, take it at one stroke!" Finally, he opened his mouth.
Deng Jun looked at Kong Jie and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
What makes General Lu angry is not just such a Langya Mountain that can't be conquered for a long time? What's more, the situation and dilemma they are currently facing. This place is not so difficult to attack, but... they don't have so much food to consume anymore. Every day you stay, the situation here is even worse.
"Report!" Again, Lu Shen frowned and raised his eyes, "Say." Is there any more annoying news?
The little man who came in to report smiled like a ball of steamed buns, "Report the general, the food and fodder given to us by the court have been delivered!"
has it been delivered?
The pupils in Lu Shen's eyes jumped. The day before yesterday, he received a message that the food and grass were tight and could not be delivered within two days?
This...
What's the situation?
"Where is the grain deposit officer?" Lu Shen thought for a long time, but he didn't expect anything. It's better to bring the grain officer and ask about it.
The grain deposit officer quickly came up. There were actually four people. When he saw Lu Shen, he did not perform the etiquette in the palace, but hugged his fist in a very Jianghu style. "General Lu, your subordinates are polite."
Lu Shen looked at him up and down, and there was doubt in the tiger's eyes, "Who are you?"
"Food deposit officer." The man replied with a smile.
Lu Shen frowned and said, "The day before yesterday, the court came down with documents, and the grain delivery team would not arrive until more than ten days later."
Seeing the suspicion of the other party, the grain officials ignored it. The leader took out a kit from his sleeve and handed it to the nearest Deng Jun, " Commander Deng, sorry to bother you." Deng Jun took the kit and handed it to Lu Shen. Lu Shen opened it and saw a thin piece of paper with a few words written on it.
"I hope you will come back soon." There were only four words, but it hit Lu Shen's heart. This handwriting... Naturally, he recognized it.
It's her!
Yes, she is the only one who can quickly transport the food of the Dafeng Dynasty to him.
The grain official squeezed his mouth and smiled, and clenched his fist again, "General Lu, the grain and fodder have been delivered, and my subordinates have retreated." The four people stood up at the same time and held their fists at the same time to salute. It turned out to be so unified and coordinated. Lu Shen looked at them, and then looked at the four short words in their hands. His heart couldn't help but feel warm. He also hugged his fists for a while and said, "Thank you very much."
The four people turned around and went out and flew on the horse. Unexpectedly, there was no trace of sloppyness and procrastination.
This is what the dark guards of the dark camp should have done.
When he came out of the door, one of the four whispered, "Head, why don't you tell him that the princess will arrive tomorrow?"
The leader raised his eyebrows and showed a bad smile. It was Yimo of the dark camp.
"The princess said she wanted to give General Lu a surprise. Let's say it in advance, won't it make the princess's good intentions useless?"
The man also laughed, "Let's go, let's meet the princess!"
***
Lu Shen held the paper tightly, and his eyes were slightly hot.
"Princess Wuyou can really make tricks." Kong Jie shook his head and sighed, "But general, how did she take this grain? I just went to check the number... It can be used to support the army for more than a month.
"I'm afraid those four are not serious food betting officers, are they?" Kong Jie muttered and said carefreely, "I'm afraid the real food deposit officer has..."
"Stealing beams and changing columns." Deng Jun also sighed, "Sending food and fodder without permission, this crime..."
Lu Shen's eyebrows tightened, "She is too bold."
Deng Jun didn't want him to worry about this. He smiled and cut off and said, "The more Lord Lou is so tossed, the less things will be done. I dare to bet that Lord Lou is absolutely safe. General, please relax. In less than ten or twenty days, our army will return to the court. At that time, we will make up for the best."
Lu Shen nodded, yes, use his military skills to make up for her fault, so, it's best.
That night, Lu's family Tianjun had a full meal, and three days later, he attacked the city in one fell swoop.
However, within three days, an uninvited guest ran to his account in a hurry.
"Lou Yun Ni, the head of the Xishan Defense Camp, paid a visit to General Lu." Lou Yun's top helmet and armor, and she looks more and more energetic in military uniform. Her majestic spirit is not inferior to the general Lu Shen on her head.
Kong Jie was dumb, "Three princesses?"
"Lord Kong, please call the last general." She glanced at her cold eyes and showed a little pride and unquestionableness. Kong Jie immediately closed his mouth and took a look at the equally helpless Deng Jun. The two reckless men held Lou Yun Ni, who was more reckless than them, and they were only willing to bow down.
"The last general came to the front with the order to help General Lu." She said politely, and there was an extra imperial edict in her hand. She probably said that she was very guilty about the arrears of food and fodder before, and now she is looking for someone to help Yunyun.
Lu Shen pinched the imperial edict for a long time and only nod his head. He didn't know what the calculation Feng Ziqi had made. The reason why he left Lou Yunni was just because she was the man's sister. He felt that he thought that her sister would not intentionally harm him.
"So, it's very good. Please rectify it for two days, and attack the city in three days!"
"Yes."
To the northeast of Langya Mountain, the rolling stone smoke fell one after another, mercilessly hitting the soldiers who were climbing up below. In an instant, the city wall was in a mess, all stained with bright blood and red, splashing big flowers on the blue-gray wall. Dazzling.
The shouting, crying, the angry and scolding of the siege, the irritable sound of rolling stone and wood, resounded through half of the sky, roaring, smoke and dust flying, and the turdy earth. There was a team of people standing a few feet away from the city. The leader was a young man in red armor. Her old and steady face was full of anxiety at this moment.
The bloody killings all over the field made her even more uncomfortable. Several times of impulsive vomiting made him almost have the impulse to turn around and leave, but as soon as she saw the three soldiers struggling to attack the city, how could she retreat as a master general?
Kong Jie continued to command in front of the battle, listening to him loudly scolding the soldiers for coming forward, and cutting down all the arrows that kept shooting with a big knife.
The soldiers and soldiers of the Dafeng Dynasty have done their best, but the enemy is too cunning. They just occupy this high city without soldiers. The gate is not open, the suspension bridge is not released, and the Langya Mountain is a mountain. There are too many bouldron stumps, which is equivalent to giving the enemy unlimited weapons. In this way, I don't know when to attack the city.
How many soldiers are left in the few Dafeng Dynasty?
Watching a group of soldiers rush up and fall down without hesitation, some of them didn't even touch the edge of the wall, so they died.
There are also some, the death is ferocious and horrible, and some are crushed by a boulder, and the face and limbs are not recognized at all...
Lu Shen and Lou Yun Ni looked at it for a while, and finally couldn't stand it and ordered to retreat.
There is no need to push the failure of the general on the soldiers. His mistakes require so many innocent and humble lives. Lu Shen has not done such a sinister thing for more than 20 years.
At least, he is not used to letting others bear his mistakes.
The uneasiness of conscience and the cruelty of facts made Lu Shen frustrated. For the first time, he deeply realized the weakness and incompetence of his strength. The great principles I learned before have become full of empty documents. In this battlefield of either life or death, those rules and regulations, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and wisdom are of no use at all.
Only strength, only strength is the real trump card, and any military array is deceptive. In the cruel state of hostility, he can't think of any good strategy in the military book.
In fact, it was also the first time that Lou Yun Ni observed death so closely.
"General, do you want to attack again?" Kong Jie touched the blood stains on his face, and his face turned out to be even more terrible.
Lu Shen looked at him with a little distressedness and hesitated. He didn't attack. The enemy on the wall also weakened. It was really a pity to give up at this time. If he didn't give up, the loss on his side was quite heavy. How many soldiers and horses could they have left to resist the more fierce Cangwu National Army when they crossed Langya Mountain?
Just as he hesitated, there was a shocking scream in front of him. He was shocked and almost fell down from the horse.
