Bai Shihong is the grandson of Bai Xiaode.
He himself has no specific military position.
The reason why he is qualified to enter the Chinese army's main tent to observe is mainly because he is the grandson of Bai Xiaode.
He trained with the army as a marching counselor.
He had just graduated from the military academy not long ago and had not yet had time to join the grassroots level as a grassroots officer.
This time he begged Bai Xiaode to recommend him to join the Chinese Army's large tent to observe, mainly because he wanted to take a shortcut to obtain a combat mission.
As long as he obtained the With military merit, he can be promoted immediately, and it is no more burdensome than working as a junior officer at the grassroots level.
Zhao Ziliang said that he agreed to accept this task.
On the one hand, it also gave Bai Xiaode a face.
After all, this old brother had been with him for decades.
Yes, it is human nature to give some benefits to his descendants.
On the other hand, he also wants to see the abilities of the descendants of these founding fathers.
With the original intention of promoting talents in an eclectic way, there is nothing wrong with giving opportunities to famous generals. .
When Bai Shihong led a few soldiers to observe the terrain near Sunset Pass, he was really dumbfounded.
He had only seen a rough terrain map in the Chinese army's tent before, and had no intuitive concept in his mind.
Only when he arrived at the scene to check the terrain did he realize that he was completely wrong.
Although he had just graduated from the military academy and had not He has experience in actual commanding operations, but he is also a graduate of a military academy.
He still understands basic military common sense.
A road that is only one foot wide and can only accommodate up to four people is sandwiched between the sea and a cliff, which also means that once Only four people at most can climb the city wall to attack, and they will face hundreds of enemies.
Bai Xiaode came out from behind and said: "Grandson, how do you know that it's wrong to show off indiscriminately?
Only when you get here can you truly see the horror of Sunset Pass, right?
Even if the guard is sleeping soundly in the pass, you can't There is no way to take this pass, they can only Four people are needed to stand face to face on the pass wall, and others shoot arrows from the left and right sides.
Only a dozen people can hold the pass.
It is useless no matter how many people you have.
You can only have four people at a time.
There are no extra people.
You have to stay behind and watch the excitement, and you can’t help anything if you are in a hurry.”
Bai Shihong was a leader who refused to admit defeat and was fierce.
He said fiercely: "Our soldiers are very powerful in combat.
Look at the Eastern Roman soldiers on this wall.
They are all squirming, as if they were beaten overnight.
I don't believe it when ten women have been tossing all night.
We still can't defeat them.
Let's go back.
Let the brothers have a good rest tonight and attack tomorrow morning when they have enough food and drink."
Early the next morning, five hundred Western Qin infantry, led by Bai Shihong, lined up in four columns and slowly approached until they were only a stone's throw away from Sunset Pass and stopped.
Bai Shihong, who graduated from the military academy, commanded in an orderly and orderly manner.
After all, he was from a major, and everything was conducted in the orderly manner he learned from school.
Although he forgot some details from time to time and made mistakes from time to time, he quickly remembered them.
Corrections were made and the team was brought smoothly to Sunset Pass.
Bai Shihong held the reins in one hand and stroked the horse's mane with the other.
He ordered the soldiers beside him: "Come, go and shout to the Eastern Roman garrison at Sunset Pass.
Give him two-quarters of an hour to consider and ask them to surrender.
If they don't surrender, wait for me."
If you conquer Guancheng, you will definitely kill all the chickens and dogs, leaving no one behind.”

"Yes, General" the soldier agreed and immediately stepped forward to call.
Bai Shihong originally thought that the other party would not agree to surrender and that there would be no excessive reaction.
Who knew that before the soldiers finished shouting, a wave of arrows was shot out from the wall on the opposite side.
The soldiers were so frightened that they immediately turned around and ran back. , even Bai Shihong's horse was frightened.
It raised its hooves and stood up, almost knocking him off the horse.
Bai Shihong was so angry that he immediately pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed at the wall: "Charge the first ten rows and kill them."
After a roar of "kill", two people in each of the two rows at the front carried a ladder.
Four ladders were carried side by side towards the wall.
The soldiers carried the ladder with one hand and held their shields in front of them with the other to block the wall.
The wall rushed forward, and the eight rows of soldiers behind each held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, following the ladder and rushing towards the wall.
"Fire arrows!"
I heard a loud shout coming from the wall, and the guard roared in Latin, and arrows flew towards the running Western Qin soldiers in waves.
"Ah" screams were heard from time to time, and several Western Qin soldiers were shot one after another.
The infantry used to attack the city were generally lightly armored, and there were very few heavy armored ones, which was not conducive to movement and movement.
When climbing ladders, infantrymen can easily be killed or injured by arrows without adequate protection.
The two soldiers carrying the ladder fell to the ground after being shot and continued running for a few steps.
One end of the ladder fell to the ground.
The soldiers who followed immediately took the ladder and carried it on their backs and continued running forward.
The shields in the hands of the soldiers had some effect, and the jingling sounds showed that a large number of arrows were shot on the shields.
After three people died and five people were injured, the four ladders were finally set up on the ladders.
The soldiers still held their shields in one hand, held their swords in their mouths, and climbed with the other hand.
However, the terrain has a natural disadvantage for the attacking army.
Some soldiers on the wall shot arrows at the Western Qin soldiers on the ladder from the left and right sides.
These Western Qin soldiers could use their shields to block the arrows above their heads, but they could not block the arrows from above.
The arrows shot diagonally from above and left were struck one after another.
After shooting down, one group of soldiers was shot down, and another group of soldiers climbed up the ladder and were quickly shot down.
After six waves of soldiers were shot down on the ladder, Bai Shihong finally realized this method of attack.
No, there is no way to attack the city wall this way.
"Take it back, take it back" After Bai Shihong gave an angry order, the soldiers who were still alive under the wall dragged the injured soldiers back to safety with their shields.
Several more people were shot to death and wounded on the way.
Bai Shihong kept walking back and forth with his sword in his hand, thinking about the strategy to break through the barrier.
He would first use bows and arrows to carry out long-range strikes, kill some of the enemy defenders, and then use archers to shoot arrows to suppress them while sending people to touch them.
Attack under the wall After thinking about it, Bai Shihong shook his head and rejected the idea.
The range of the bows and arrows of the Western Qin Army was indeed longer than that of the soldiers of the Eastern Roman Empire, but it was not enough to form an absolute advantage.
The Eastern Roman Empire had learned this a long time ago.
The way the Persians made bows and arrows began to use recurve bows, and the selection of materials for making bows and arrows, greatly improved the range of their bows and arrows.
The range and power of bows and arrows are not inferior to those of the East.
Although there is still a certain gap in the range and power of bows and arrows of the Western Qin Dynasty, one is now under the city and the other is high on the city wall.
The favorable terrain has completely eliminated this gap.
The Eastern Roman defenders Standing on the city wall and projecting can completely reach the range of the Western Qin bow and arrow.
However, if the Western Qin soldiers are under the city, projecting on the city wall will weaken the power and reduce the range.
Bai Shihong thought of another way, to get some ships from the port, transport some soldiers to the coastline of Eastern Rome, and attack Sunset Pass from behind.
You must know that there is a large open space behind Sunset Pass, although you still have to face the wall.
Defense, but at least more troops can be deployed for offense, so that they can attack Sunset Pass from front to back.
However, this method will be very cumbersome.

You need to send people to build boats and find soldiers who can row.
You cannot cross the sea during the day, as this will be discovered by the defenders of Sunset Pass.
If you want to cross the sea at night, the risk will be greatly increased, because these soldiers can Not navy soldiers, most of them can't swim, don't understand water skills, and their chances of success are only half.
After thinking about it, Bai Shihong decided to personally lead a frontal attack.
It would be best if he could successfully capture the Sunset Pass.
If the frontal attack was difficult to achieve, then he would send some people to find a boat to cross the sea and go around behind the Sunset Pass.
Using a two-sided attack, no matter how dangerous the terrain is, there are only 300 people in Sunset Pass.
As long as the attack is fierce, the pass can be captured before enemy reinforcements arrive.
After making up his mind, Bai Shihong immediately found a dozen veterans and officers and asked them to wear steel armor with certain defensive capabilities.
He led them in a frontal attack.
"General, brothers are ready," a team officer came over and said to Bai Shihong, clasping his fists.
Although Bai Shihong was not a general at all, just a young man who had just graduated from the military academy, people in the army knew that this guy had a background and was the grandson of Bai Xiaode.
Calling him a general also satisfied his vanity.
"Okay."
Bai Shihong nodded and told his deputy: "If I haven't gained an advantage after I lead the attack for half an hour, you will order Jin Jin to withdraw the troops.
If there is any progress and improvement in this process, you will order more troops to be deployed.
Do you understand?"
The deputy immediately agreed: "Yes" "Okay, let's start, brothers, kill me."
Bai Shihong roared, holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and rushed towards the wall.
A dozen other elites followed him and rushed towards the wall.
The military quality and combat experience of these dozen carefully selected veterans and officers are indeed not comparable to those of soldiers who have not experienced combat.
With their experience, they can easily dodge some incoming arrows.
They know how to fight with The surrounding companions kept their distance to reduce the chance of being hit by arrows.
These people rushed to the wall.
Only one person was shot and injured in the arm, but he did not go back.
With his strong martial arts, Bai Shihong easily knocked away the arrows shot from the left and right and climbed to the top of the ladder.
Without giving the defenders a chance, he immediately flew up and jumped up to the wall to fight with the defenders.
Together, two soldiers were hacked to death by him, and the defenders on the left and right immediately rushed over to greet him.
"Die them all!"
Bai Shihong roared and waved the sword in his hand.
After killing eight soldiers in a row, he also suffered a little injury, but it was not serious, but it brought a lot of pain to the veterans and officers he brought.
He created the opportunity to climb up and allowed them to successfully climb the wall.
With the addition of these people, his pressure was greatly reduced.
Bai Shihong was like a leopard rushing left and right among the sheep.
With the assistance of some veterans and officers, he quickly made considerable progress.
At least the wall facing the long narrow passage had been occupied by them, and the soldiers behind could not help but Those who were threatened ran to the city wall and climbed up the ladder.
But Bai Shihong soon met his opponent.
The Sunset Gate Guard General Maladelius appeared.
This man had a sinewy face and a steel needle-like beard that made him look very ferocious.
He and Bai Shihong soon became friends.
Hands, the two men were fighting inextricably.
After Bai Shihong was entangled by Maladelus, the Western Qin army lost its advantage.
The dozen or so combat-effective veterans and officers he brought were quickly divided and surrounded by the Eastern Roman garrison who had an absolute advantage in strength, and The area of the city wall they occupied also quickly shrunk.
When the deputy saw that the situation was not good, he immediately ordered the gold medal.
If the gold medal was not raised now, Bai Shihong and others would probably be surrounded and annihilated on the city wall.

That was because Bai Xiaode was very willing to spare him.
Bai Shihong and others retreated to the safe zone in great embarrassment.
He himself was seriously injured, and his combat effectiveness had been reduced by 20%.
The dozen veterans and legions he brought with him also lost a third, and there were also many soldiers who later reinforced him.
Small loss.
"Oh no, I didn't expect that this Maladelius has some abilities.
I won't be able to defeat him for a while."
Bai Shihong cursed unwillingly, while a medical soldier next to him was bandaging his wounds.
Bai Xiaode came over and hummed: "Now you know how powerful you are, you know you underestimated the world's heroes?"
Bai Shihong was quite impatient: "Grandpa, why don't you throw cold water on me?
Didn't you see that I'm upset?"
Bai Xiaode snorted coldly: "Huh, don't blame Grandpa, I didn't remind you.
You only have two days, and most of the day has passed now.
If you don't win Sunset Pass before midnight tomorrow night, you will lose your head.
This is no joke, if it comes to that, even your grandfather I can't protect you."
Thinking of the military order, Bai Shihong's heart tightened.
As Bai Xiaode's grandson, of course he knew that military orders were no joke.
Military orders were overwhelming.
Even a prince would still be beheaded if he failed to complete the tasks in the military order, let alone him.
He is just the grandson of a general, and he is not the only grandson of this retired veteran.
Bai Xiaode said at this time: "Boy, don't say that grandpa won't help you.
Your only way now is to send a team of troops across the sea to go around behind Sunset Pass and launch a fierce pincer attack from both front and rear.
Alexander Letta's guard and the navy's third The commander of the first fleet is my old subordinate.
This The two of you can still give me, this old guy, some face.
I have asked one of them to prepare some ships and skilled boatmen for you.
The other one will send a few warships to protect your ships as they cross the sea and break through the water fortress next to Sunset Pass.
The remaining You can only rely on yourself for the next thing.”
Bai Shihong didn't expect that his grandfather had already made preparations for him silently.
If he were to do it by himself, not only would there not be enough time, but he would also have to storm the defensive water stronghold next to Sunset Pass.
It seems that this is the only way at the moment
