Chapter 93: Going into battle in advance
"Fatty, what's going on?"
The sound of shouting and killing spread, and not long after, a messenger came to the camp to inform the 1,000 generals to gather urgently.
After waiting anxiously for half an hour, the brawny figure finally returned. Luo Li couldn't wait to get up and ask.
The fat man narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a burst of excitement: "Tonight, I will go to the third pass to fight the barbarians tomorrow morning!"
"The third pass? Shouldn't the front line be the fifth pass?" Luo Li asked in surprise.
"The fifth pass was broken, and the fourth pass was broken. Now all the barbarians were blocked outside the third pass!" The fat man said with a ugly expression.
There are five passes in Anling Pass. The first pass is closest to Anguo territory, and the fifth pass is the front line.
No wonder Luo Li could hear the shouts of beating and killing today. It turned out that the fifth and fourth passes were broken, and the barbarian army had already reached the outside of the third pass!
"No! The barbarian army attacked Anling Pass for more than a month. They had never been able to break through the fifth pass before. How could they suddenly become so fierce and go down two passes in a day?" Luo Li's brows frowned into the Sichuan character, and his fear became stronger.
The fat man followed and said angrily: "Fat Master heard from the people above that he didn't know what happened to the barbarian army recently. He suddenly made siege equipment such as rushing cars, arrow towers, stone casting cars, etc. He was careless and lost two passes in succession and stopped the decline in front of the third pass!"
A flash of light flashed in Luo Li's eyes, and a slight scent of inexplicable smell appeared on her face.
The siege equipment such as rushing cars, arrow towers, and stone casting cars were mostly funded by the father Luo Tianlei, who wanted to use this to bring greater trouble to the two countries of An and Shu, so as to delay the two countries and launch the Luo State offensive.
But I don’t know if the Luo Kingdom has attacked Anguo at the moment. Such a god-given opportunity should not be missed.
"Fatty, have you found out how many people are left in our army?" Luo Li asked suddenly.
"Only more than 90,000 people remain!" the fat man replied.
"How many soldiers and horses are left by the barbarian?" Luo Li asked again.
"About 130,000!"
"Hiss! More than 90,000 to 130,000? Can we win?" Luo Li said incredibly with wide eyes.
There was only a small pawn before, and such confidential information could not be touched at all.
When the fat man went to the ten thousand generals to discuss military affairs, Luo Li repeatedly told him to inquire, but it really lived up to everyone's expectations. The number of troops in the two soldiers was asked, which shocked him!
The barbarians are extremely fierce in wars, and a single soldier's combat capability is far superior to Anguo. Now they have added powerful weapons to siege, and the gap in numbers is gradually increasing. Anguo's defense line is in trouble!
"Oh! Fortunately, we still have three passes in our hands, which can temporarily stop the barbarians! But if this continues, the situation will be very bad!" said the fat man worriedly.
After a while of silence, the fat man revealed another important news: "According to the uncertain information from the spies, the major tribes of the Barbarian Kingdom are quickly withdrawing males, as if there are signs of increasing troops."
"What? Increase troops?" Luo Li and Bai Zijin shouted in shock at the same time. If this information is true, the country will be in danger!
Luo Li's eyes showed a terrifying gleam. In addition to a hint of excitement, she also had an unknown feeling.
If the barbarians break through the Anling Pass, then they will be not far from the destruction of Anguo. At that time, Luo Kingdom can advance straight and destroy Anguo in one fell swoop.
But after thinking about it carefully, I feel a little uncomfortable!
An, Shu and Luo are of the same clan and origin. No matter how you fight to death, it is like a fight between brothers.
Once the barbarians are helped to break through the Anling Pass, it feels like an outsider is intervening, and I feel that I am confused.
Walking out of the camp and breathing fresh air, Luo Li forced herself to calm down!
At this moment, he was confused, wondering whether Luo Kingdom was right or wrong in taking advantage of others’ danger!
...
Early the next morning, before dawn, the fat man led all the soldiers of the camp to hurriedly pass through the first and second passes and arrive at the forefront of the third pass.
When Luo Li saw the third pass, he was shocked!
I thought the pass was just a wall built against the mountain, but now I realize that it is not that true at all.
There are city walls, not one, but six blocks, distributed in six valley gaps.
This circle of six walls is the complete third pass!
After command of ten thousand generals, the fat man led a camp of thousands of people to climb the second city wall.
The dark brown blood stains, the fishy smell coming from the nose, and the devastated look all show the bloodyness of yesterday's battle.
Luo Li raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, and the smell on the city wall caused a gushing in her stomach.
Looking around, there were countless tents not far below the pass, and you could vaguely see the tall barbarians eating in groups of three or five.
The five fingers slowly bent and clenched into fists, and Luo Li gradually trembled.
Before climbing the city wall, there was nothing strange in my heart, but I really came to the forefront and was about to fight the life and death with the barbarians. Luo Li was really afraid!
Fear of death, fear of cruelty, fear of life worse than death!
When I thought of the coming sea of corpses and blood, the feeling of being weak immediately filled my body.
"Bang!"
A sudden blow came from his shoulder, which scared Luo Li!
"Lao Luo, don't be afraid, Fatty will protect you by then!" Fatty said with a smile.
Since Luo Li stepped onto the city wall, his expression was very wrong. It was rare that the fat man was careful and came to comfort the other party.
"Fatty, do you think we will die?" Luo Li couldn't help asking.
"No! Haha!" The fat man laughed to the sky, diluting Luo Li's little fear.
"Yes!" Luo Li also smiled and nodded.
Then Luo Li quickly restrained his fear, raised his head, and turned his sharp eyes to the barbarian army under the city wall.
“Woo…”
Half an hour later, the barbarian blew a shocking horn, and suddenly the crowds of people were surging under the city, and the barbarian army was gathering quickly.
"Attention from the whole camp!"
"Shot arrows at eighty steps, lift stones at thirty steps, roll wood under the wall, boiling oil!"
Many thousand people on the city wall ordered their soldiers to make final preparations before the war.
All the soldiers pulled out their arrows and put on their bows, looking at the army of barbarians under the city wall with a serious expression.
The advantages and disadvantages of each battalion were fully revealed at this moment, especially the fat men's soldiers, most of whom were new recruits and had never experienced war.
Excessive tension causes many people to unsteadily take bows, and the arrows cannot be placed on the bowstrings several times.
"Stay calm! Don't be nervous! Think about it carefully, just do whatever you train on weekdays!"
"It's all just carrying one head on both shoulders. What's there to be afraid of?"
"At worst, I will be another hero in 18 years!"
The fat man shouted anxiously, wishing to kick the stage-frightened recruits off the city wall!
At the critical moment, Luo Li stood up and said with a smile: "Do you still remember the military song I taught you? Come on, sing it, and you won't be afraid after singing it!"
"Run!Run!Run!"
"Pedaling on the loess, carrying a big knife..."
His hoarse voice gradually infected all the soldiers in the camp and joined one by one to sing military songs.
Roaring, shouting, breaking the sound, everyone injected all the fear in their hearts into the singing and went away with the wind.
After a military song, a magical scene appeared, and the new recruit's trembling body and tense nerves all relaxed.
The momentum also rose with the military song, as if he was fearless of the upcoming war!
"Gar!"
Suddenly! The army of barbarians came to the city to shout!
Countless scimitars holding siege equipment moved!
Chapter completed!
