The fire in Fengsui was too big, although the Han soldiers who came to help shoveled sand with a dustpan to cover it, and the fire was smaller, but the door hole burned hotter than the naan pit, and no one could get out at all.Ren Hong and the others could only drag the rope they threw up to the ground, and then turned back after walking a few steps, but saw that the upper part of the broken flint was full of Hun arrows, and the feathers on the arrow shaft swayed slightly in the wind, and the lower half was blackened by the fireworks.Broken Sui, now very much like Ren Hong's appearance, scarred and blackened by smoke.But even so, it still stands silently beside the Great Wall, like a guard, waiting for this land.On the other side, Han Dangdang walked over, he had a bloody head hanging on his waist, it was the hundred cavalry commander of the Wulan Huns who was blind, and it could be said that he was killed by Lao Han's buttocks, four zhang high, one hundred and eighty pounds smashed down, and his neck was directly broken.Han Dangdang also limped, and when he saw Ren Hong coming down, his eyebrows fluttered and he showed off: "Suichang, I beheaded the Hun generals, but I can buy 100,000 yuan, and the officials will increase their rank!"
It's higher than capturing the Hun spies. ”Yes, who would have thought that the spy shadow was not seen, but he waited for the Huns' brigade, and their treatment was really high.But the attack of the Huns has stopped at a superficial level, is it really just to retaliate against Ren Hong for stirring up treacherous smuggling?
I'm afraid it's not that simple.Ren Hong made a note of this incident in his heart, and ordered Zhao Hu'er to return to Fengsui with reinforcements and rescue the injured Lu Guangsu and Zhang Qianren.He himself went to count them, and several Hun corpses were left behind.The military merits of the Han Dynasty only depend on beheading, no matter how many you say you killed, you have to have a corresponding head to verify the merits.When Li Guang fought, he often fought with the Huns, and there were many casualties, but because he could not win completely, he did not have the time and opportunity to behead him, and he was not allowed to be a marquis after all.When Emperor Han was in the clouds, Wei Shang was also too guarded, and he was asked to blame for missing six levels of the head when he was on the gong.Fortunately, the Huns withdrew in a hurry, and the corpses did not have time to be taken away, including the unlucky hundred cavalry commanders, a total of seven corpses were left in the broken Sui "seven heads, just right." ”Of course, this is not the meaning that Po Sui just happens to be super-god, Ren Hong has other plans.He walked to the first two groups of reinforcements to arrive, their armor and clothing not looking like regular troops, but pavilion guards ten miles away.The two pavilion chiefs wearing iron armor and red curtains also saluted Ren Hong and said: "Uncle Zhai, the chief of the Ningbian Pavilion, saw that the smoke news was rising, so he came to help.""
But Hu Tingchang Mencius room, heard that there was a Hu Lu prisoner, so he came to help."
These two pavilions are the closest to Po Sui, Ren Hong has met with them, and said: "If it weren't for the two monarchs to come to help in time, we would probably be buried on the beacon." ”The soldiers who came to the aid of the two pavilions added up to only ten people, but as the vanguard of the Han army's reinforcements, the Huns were alert and gave up continuing to besiege and break the captive fire.Uncle Zhai, the pavilion chief of Ningbian Pavilion, is a middle-aged man with a black face, who is not very good at speaking, but Hu Pavilion Chief Mencius Fang is a little transformed, and said with a smile: "Fengsui and Pavilion Barrier jointly guard the Great Wall, Sui is in front, Pavilion is behind, but lips and teeth are interdependent, if the lips are dead, the teeth are cold!"
To come to the rescue of Po Sui is also to save us, Ren Sui doesn't have to be so polite. ”Ren Hong knew that although the military law stipulated that the pavilion barrier was in a hurry to rescue when he saw the beacon smoke news, the speed of coming was all up to the judgment of each pavilion itself, so it was really rare for the two pavilions to come as soon as possible.Seeing that the cavalry of the central lieutenant was still a few miles away, Ren Hong lowered his voice and said: "Seven people can be divided into five levels, and the other two levels of heads should be divided into two pavilions of Yongbian and Dinghu, and the two of them can be accepted!"
can force back Hulu, and there is also the credit of the two pavilions!
”You must know that not only is it meritorious to kill a hundred cavalry commanders, but also a reward of 50,000 yuan for killing ordinary Hulu at the first level, even if it is divided equally with the pavilion guards, there are a lot of them per person.Uncle Zhai was a little moved, but Mencius shook his head and said: "This is not appropriate, it was the desperate battle of the people who broke the Sui to make Hu Lu retreat."
How dare we take credit, not to mention, once the officials find out that they have changed hands privately, I am afraid that we will all be held accountable, we have already fulfilled our duties, if the central lieutenant feels that he should be rewarded, he will naturally be rewarded. ”He categorically rejected Ren Hong's proposal: "Ren Suichang doesn't need to say it, we don't dare to ask for the head, if you feel that you owe us and others and want to pay it back" Mencius Fang laughed and said: "Then please have a good meal of wine and meat afterwards!"
”"That's it, I'll be the east another day, and I'll invite the officials of the two pavilions to a banquet!"
Ren Hong nodded secretly and remembered this person's name: "This Meng Pavilion Chief is not greedy and sensible. ”The supporters arrived one after another, and most of them were soldiers and civilians from nearby townships, pavilions, and Sui.Ren Hong even saw Fan Gou Tu and Zheng Zhu Tu, who had been photographed in the Beixiang Market in the morning, riding horses, carrying crossbows, hands full of oil, carrying sharp knives to kill pigs and dogs, looking for traces of Hulu!"
Why are you here?"
Ren Hong handed over and was a little surprised."
Chief Ren Sui, sure enough, something happened to you and the others."
Fan Gou Tu said: "We just dispersed in Beixiang, twenty miles away, and saw that there was beacon smoke on the side, so we rode over to take a look.If the captives enter the fortress, it is better to go back and warn the township to close the door to defend the enemy, and if it can still be defended, help to defend it and keep the enemy outside the fortress. ”Zheng Zhutu said with a smile: "Yes, maybe you can cut off one or two heads and make some money!"
It's a pity that this time it was too late. ”They regretted that they did not meet the Huns.Ren Hong looked at the crossbows on the horseback of the two, although they were all four-stone crossbows, but they were not worse than those in the beacon, which is not surprising, because ordinary people in the Han Dynasty could hold crossbows, and when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in response to whether the people should be prohibited from holding crossbows, Prime Minister Gongsun Hong and Guanglu Doctor Wuqiu Shouwang also had a verbal war.At that time, thieves were rampant in the Kanto region, and Gongsun Hong thought that crossbows should be banned, because this weapon had a long range and was extremely powerful.But Wuqiu Shouwang, who relied on playing chess, sang the opposite tune with Gongsun Hong, he believed: After the unification of Qin Shi Huang, he collected the soldiers of the world and cast them as the twelve golden people.But didn't Chen Sheng, Wu Guang and Emperor Gao still chop wood as soldiers and rise up?
The root cause is that the imperial court is too drastic in its policy, and the confiscation of bows and crossbows is of little use to improve the situation of rampant thieves among the people, and it will also make the people of good families lose their weapons for self-defense.This debate can be called the Han Dynasty's version of the gun dispute, and in the end, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty leaned towards King Wuqiu Shou.Of course, Liu Che did not admit that it was the central government's decree that went wrong, but took into account that the folk Ding Zhuang all practiced bows and crossbows, which allowed the Han Dynasty to directly recruit a large number of crossbowmen and archers without the need to train from scratch, which was a great advantage of the Han Dynasty in fighting against Hungary.In the era of peace in later generations, it is absolutely right to ban guns in the country!
But in the Han Dynasty, where the smoke was frequent, it was a good thing for the people to practice martial arts, and they could not choke on food because of thieves with crossbows and white-knuckle brawls with light heroes.Therefore, the children of the good family of the Han Dynasty held bows and crossbows, and galloped on horses, which is simply a common thing, since there is such a large number of ready-made reserves, there is no need to use them in vain, so the Han Dynasty in the law, encourage the people of the border to resist the enemy with the officials: "You can chase with all the soldiers, first climb the battle and behead the first level, and buy 50,000 yuan!"
”Not only is there money for beheading, but if you chase down the Saihu and take back their looted cattle and return them to their masters, you will also get half of them as a reward.So the young and strong people of Dunhuang County, especially the children of good families who have served in Fengsui and trained five soldiers, and have horses at home.Every time I saw the beacon smoke lit and settled down with my family, I took my companion to join the official army, and chased the enemy with it, and regarded this as a livelihood for farming and making extra money. ”Ren Hong said with emotion: "With such people, no wonder they are called strong men!"
”At the same time, there is a wake-up call."
When I was in the bazaar in the morning, I still looked too highly of myself and underestimated them" Ren Hong watched as more and more good families and light warriors arrived at Poyusui on horseback, faster than the regular army support, and it was they, together with the cavalry of the Central Governor's Mansion, who frightened the Huns away from afar."
It's not just us who are the guards on the Great Wall, who are protecting the people of Sene.""
The soldiers and civilians of Sene are also protecting us in another way!"
What surprised Ren Hong even more was that after a horse roar, a red mare walked slowly along the Great Wall from the west, it was the radish, it was the radish, it walked back to the broken flint, as if it was just released after dinner and took a walk."
Good radish, although you are a young pony, you also know the way."
Ren Hong got on the horse, and Zhao Hu'er and Han Dangdang, who could still walk, had already stood on the Great Wall.They could see that the cavalry from the central lieutenant had finally reached the front line of the Great Wall, and the knights, all dressed in light armor, wearing small fur hats on their heads, with their legs tightly clamped between their horses, carrying bows and crossbows, and swords and spears on their backs, came out of the gates, ready to meet any Hu people who dared to approach the fortress.However, the army of the Huns outside the Saiwai had withdrawn cleanly by this time, leaving only a messy pile of horseshoe prints in place.There was also a corpse that had been stripped of its red armor and beheaded and lying alone on the sand, Ren Hong sighed and greeted the two: "Old Han, Zhao Han'er!"
”"Let's go out together.""
Bring Aided Song back!"
