228 Joining the army and entering Yanmen

“I am Liu Chi, the general of guerrilla warfare in Yanmen. I heard that you killed a few Xiongnu people in the village today?” Seeing that Xia ping ‘an’s attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, the general of zhao state’s expression became gentler.

“Those Xiongnu people killed my fellow villagers, so it’s only right that I kill them!”Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

“What a good” as it should be “!” The general clapped his hands in admiration and said with hatred, ” those Xiongnu people are like jackals and wolves. They are cruel and vicious. Every year, they invade our border, kill our people, rape and pillage. They do everything they can. How can we, men, tolerate them? let those Xiongnu people bully our country and humiliate our people. Kill them all, slaughter them all, and protect our country and our neighbors. This is what we men should do!

“General is right!” Xia ping ‘an agreed, ” only the dead Xiongnu are good Xiongnu. The living Xiongnu should all be killed!

“Hahaha, well said. I just heard from my men that you have met a strange person in the mountains and have learned excellent medical skills. In the camp of Yanmen, there are often soldiers who are injured in battle with the Xiongnu and are in urgent need of a good doctor. I wonder if you are willing to come with me to the camp of Yanmen. With your ability, there is no need for you to be a Ranger. You can also make a name for yourself in the Army and make a name for yourself.”

“May I ask who is the commander of the Yanmen Pass Camp?”

Hearing Xia ping ‘an’s question, the guerrilla general Liu Chi was a little surprised, but he still said, ” I won’t hide it from you. In the past two days, there has been news from the Yanmen camp that the commander of the Yanmen camp will be transferred away. The new commander of the Yanmen camp is General Li mu. General Li mu was once stationed at Yanmen to resist the Xiongnu. Later, he was transferred away by His Majesty. This is his second time stationed at Yanmen. General Li mu loves his soldiers like his own children. He is the most sympathetic to his soldiers and is deeply loved by the soldiers. If someone as capable as you were to go to the camp of Yanmen, the commander would definitely put you to good use!”

The Warring States General, li mu!

As expected!

Li mu was the first famous general in the history of China to defeat the Xiongnu people.

Xia Pingan suddenly understood.

As a man of Yan and Zhao, this realm Pearl was used to summon cavalrymen. As soon as he came out, he had encountered the Xiongnu people who were burning, killing, and pillaging at the border. Therefore, the highest mission of this realm Pearl was to kill Xiongnu people at the border and protect the country.

Whether or not this realm Pearl could be perfectly fused would probably depend on his contribution.

Xia Pingan only had to think for a moment before he understood.

This was the second time that li mu had been ordered to guard Yanmen. This time, it was also the beginning of li MU’s legendary battle.

When li mu first defended Yanmen, he studied the tactics of the Xiongnu cavalry. The Xiongnu cavalry came and went like the wind, and they were skilled in archery and horse riding. When the Xiongnu cavalry fought with the Zhao border Army, the Zhao border Army was usually at a disadvantage. The Zhao border Army had almost no way to restrain the Xiongnu cavalry.

Based on the characteristics of the Xiongnu cavalry, li mu had once used the tactics of the Xiongnu cavalry to avoid their attacks. To others, this was a cowardly move.

By the time it was dark, Xia ping ‘an had already arrived at Yanmen Pass with Liu Chi.

In the night, Yanmen Pass was like a giant beast lurking in the mountains, full of murderous intent.

The current Yanmen Pass had been built by the Zhao Army for many years, and it was already quite large in scale. It was not much different from what the future generations saw.

The surrounding terrain of Yanmen Pass was extremely dangerous. It was located in the valley between the two mountains. The siege of Yanmen Pass was built according to the shape of the mountains, and the circumference was about five kilometers. The southern part of the city wall was connected to the East and West wings of the pass. The North part of the city wall extended along the ridge of the mountain to the bottom of the valley. There was a city gate at the bottom of the valley. Outside the city wall, there were several stone walls of various sizes, which acted as a barrier.

When they arrived at Yanmen Pass, Xia ping ‘an finally understood why the local people called Yanmen Pass the ” iron inner gate. it was because the gate of Yanmen Pass was wrapped in a thick layer of iron. It was extremely heavy. When a knife or axe hit it, it could only leave a faint mark.

On the mountains surrounding Yanmen Pass, there were a series of watchtowers and beacon towers. There was one Watchtower almost every 100 meters. In the strategic areas, there were forts, trenches, and secret doors. The pass extended from east to west and connected to the Great Wall built by King Zhao Wuling.

It was no exaggeration to say that such a majestic pass was the first pass in China in this era.

When the Xiongnu soldiers in the North saw their path to the South being blocked by such a pass, one could only imagine the despair in their hearts.

The camp of Yanmen was set up in the North of Yanmen Pass, and the drill ground was located in the southeast of the pass. At this moment, there were about 80000 to 90000 soldiers of Zhao stationed here.

The moment they arrived at the camp, Liu Chi immediately brought Xia Pingan to a relatively independent camp located Southwest of the camp.

The camp was lifeless and dark. There was an aura of decay everywhere. As soon as Xia Pingan entered the camp, he smelled a strong bloody smell and the unique smell of pus and decay of human wounds. Of course, it was also mixed with the smell of some messy medicinal herbs. From time to time, low groans and wails could be heard from the barracks on both sides.

this is the casualty Barrack. Our injured brothers are all recuperating here. Liu Chi looked burly, but when he arrived, his expression turned sad.

“How many people are taking care of the injured soldiers in the injury camp?” Xia Pingan asked.

“The three shamans of the entire camp are here, sob sob”

There were only three shamans in the entire camp of Yanmen in the state of zhao? Take note, this shaman is not a professional military doctor, but a combination of a shaman and a herbal doctor.

For example, the doctor that Xia Pingan had met in the village today was lucky. The doctor had gone to the nearby village to treat people, but he had encountered the Xiongnu soldiers and had no choice but to hide. He only dared to show himself after the Xiongnu soldiers had left and participated in the follow-up treatment of the injured in the village.

Xia ping ‘an asked Liu Chi to call the three shamans here. After asking, he found out what the military shamans used to treat the injured. It was very simple. They scraped, sawed, chiseled, and pulled. Instead of calling them doctors, they were more like carpenters.

All the wounded soldiers who were sent here could only leave their lives to fate after going through the four treatments and enjoying the performance of the shamans jumping and praying to gods.
