Chapter 30 Entering the City
Wait for Lu Ye and Wang Hu to run out of the stable.
Everyone in the refugee camp outside was already cheering, with joy on their faces.
In the open space, there are already more than a hundred servants crowded together in a mess, each armed with a simple wooden gun, and a few white-haired veterans are whipping the queue with whips.
“Don’t huddle, you bastards!”
"Line up, do you understand? Line up!"
Many female soldiers gave these servants red cloth strips and asked them to tie them on their left arms and wrap them around their heads.
"The left arm...it's the left arm!"
"Damn it, don't you know the difference between left and right?"
Those servants will inevitably suffer for this. A few whips, but even so, they still had smiles on their faces and looked towards the city with longing.
Everyone knows that when the city is destroyed, there will be food.
The kings eat meat, and they can also share some soup and water.
The white-haired veterans wore flying saucer hats with red cloth on their heads. They carried red flags behind their backs with the word "Pan" written on them and shouted loudly.
“Did you see the red cloth on my helmet? There is also this small flag!”
“When we enter the city later, just follow the flag!”
"As long as you see someone with a red cloth on his helmet, that's your team leader. Just do whatever he says!"
"You must listen to your team leader like you listen to your parents. Do you understand?”
“Also, don’t get separated. There are many kings’ teams in the city. Don’t let them kill you! It’s a waste of time, you know?”
A group of servants replied in confusion that they understood, and naturally they were whipped again.
Pan Furong was already riding on the horse, looking at the chaotic scene in front of her, with a happy expression on her pretty face, surrounded by dozens of women's soldiers and stars guarding her.
After the city was captured, according to the agreement with Chuang Potian, she could finally get rid of Qin Tong's entanglement. King Chuang also promised to give her priority in replenishing equipment and food.
In troubled times, having soldiers and food is strength!
She felt that if she persisted, she would be the next Yizhang Qing.
Of course, you can't conquer the world alone. The two "general" brothers performed very well today and should be promoted.
Pan Furong and others saw Lu Ye and Wang Hu coming out, and immediately waved their riding whips and said loudly and joyfully.
"Shepherd, I will be rewarded for my merits! Today's siege of the city, you and Wang Hu are going to kill the dog officers and soldiers for inspection. I will promote you to infantry sentry now, and Wang Hu will be a team leader."
"Take this guard post and set off into the city to occupy a good position for our women's battalion."
Others immediately cast envious looks at Lu Ye, including Pan Furong's personal guards .
In the refugee army, there are only a dozen sentries under the command of Chuang Potian. The leader of the horse sentry is called the commander, and the leader of the infantry sentry is called the sentry officer.
Compared with the cavalry commanders, the infantry sentries are both one sentry in length, but there is a huge difference in status. The cavalry commanders are considered to be the upper echelons of the army, while the infantry sentries are at the middle level at best.
However, Lu Ye could be promoted from a horse herder to a sentry officer in one day, and he was promoted two levels in a row. This promotion speed can be said to be very fast.
In addition to having outstanding military exploits, it shows that this person has caught the eye of the eldest lady.
The servants were confused and didn't understand what was going on. Pan Furong's remaining veterans looked at Lu Ye with a bit more respect in their eyes.
This guy will no longer be a horseman or a storyteller.
But he is a rising rookie general in the women's camp.
Lu Ye and Wang Hu hurriedly thanked the eldest lady.
Pan Furong waved her hands and smiled.
"Ma... Lu Sentinel, give you half a quarter of an hour to organize this ragtag group of people into a team."
"Don't run away after entering the city."
< br>Pan Furong frowned as she said that. The female camp captured several batches of slaves today in order to go into battle. Those who were really strong and dared to fight were all used up in the previous rounds.
And it's not just the women's camp, I'm afraid the other sentries in Chuang Potian are also catching and raising slaves today and throwing them into the flesh and blood millstone.
Nowadays, the remaining servants are not even young and strong, they are just taller among the short ones, so they can be used reluctantly.
It won't work to let them fight, but it will be useful to go to the city to grab things.
It’s just that they don’t understand the queue, they don’t recognize the commander, and they don’t even know each other.
If we don’t tidy up, they will really fall apart after entering the city.
Lu Ye looked like he had a headache, so he could only reluctantly divide the servants into several teams, and he also got to know a few of his management teams.
He asked Wang Hu to lead thirty people to follow him, and the team was completed.
As for the red flag and the helmet wrapped in red cloth, he didn't want it. It was so eye-catching. If there were remnants of officers and soldiers who entered the city and suddenly fired cold arrows, wouldn't it mean that he would live longer?
Pan Furong saw Lu Ye reluctantly finishing the team, and immediately waved her hand.
“Let’s go!” Everyone lined up out of the women’s camp and drove towards the city.
Outside the camp, many refugees crawled out of their shacks, cheering and cheering, and gathered into a stream toward the city.
This is a carnival for everyone.
Everyone has the same idea in their hearts. Once they enter the city, they will have food to eat. If they can fill their stomachs, they will survive!
A large number of people poured out of the shacks, like countless streams that converged into a surging river, rushing forward.
Lu Ye followed Pan Furong on foot, raised his head and asked.
"Miss, how did you conquer this city?"
Pan Furong sneered.
“King Chuang spent a lot of money...”
It turned out that Lu Ye and Wang Hu went back to the camp to eat, drink and then sleep.
Under the city.
Chuang Po Tian asked the remaining infantry sentries to take turns attacking the city. Naturally, they suffered heavy casualties in front of the well-prepared armored troops.
However, with Qin Tong, the supervisor, he barely managed to maintain the offensive after beheading a group of deserters.
But the morale of the army was visibly declining, and the attacks were getting weaker every time. Occasionally they attacked the city wall, but were driven down by the armored soldiers.
After a few rounds of fighting like this, the attack naturally became sparse and weak.
At this time, there was a buzzing sound on the other two city walls, and most of the armored soldiers were transferred to block the holes in other places.
At this moment, Chuang Potian ordered the guards who had been preparing for a long time to dismount, wrapped their armor in tattered cloth, and mixed with several infantry sentries to attack the city again.
Not only that, he also concentrated his commanders, sentry officers and even the guards in this wave of attacks, all pretending to be soldiers.
Even his nephew Qin Tong was sent.
These horse soldiers disguised as infantry mixed in with the team and captured the city head in one fell swoop.
Several commanders joined forces and killed the county inspector who was a steel-framed martial artist. He chopped down the banner of Da Jin with one sword and erected the banner with the word "Chuang".
Everyone on the city joined forces and shouted that the city was broken, and the commotion immediately spread throughout the city.
This city wall was lost, and the officers, soldiers and civilians on the other walls lost their fighting spirit and retreated one after another. As a result, Heishan County was breached in one fell swoop.
"Tsk, tsk, King Chuang really spent a lot of money this time!"
Lu Ye was stunned when he heard that, even the personal guard sentry was used. He must have lost his money in the battle with those armored officers and soldiers. Not small either.
If the captured city cannot be replenished in time, it's hard to say whether Chuang Dawang has won or lost the battle, but Chuang Dawang's brand has been polished, and the team will definitely usher in a wave of expansion.
After a while, everyone came to the city wall.
I saw that the city gate was only opened a small crack, barely enough for a single horse to pass through.
It turns out that the Heishan County government blocked the city gate with bricks and debris. Now a group of servants are working hard inside to clean up the debris and barely make a path.
Most people still climb the long ladder to enter the city.
Pan Furong led the cavalry into the city one by one, while Lu Ye and the infantry sentry climbed up the long ladder to the city wall, and then entered the city via the stone ladder.
At this time, an orderly soldier knelt in front of Pan Furong's horse and reported something. The eldest lady smiled happily when she heard it.
She turned back and smiled.
"My sons, please go to the king's command and say that our female camp sentry has done a great job in attacking the city this time."
"The king broke through the city first and took the lead, and now he has taken half of the city."
"Give us half of Dongchengfang as supplement!"
After hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately lit up and they cheered.
In Heishan County, the relatively wealthy places are several large squares.
This Dongchengfang is one of them. You can eat half of it, which is enough for everyone to have your mouth full of oil.
Pan Furong gave the order and everyone hurriedly followed.
At this time, the city was still in chaos. Fires were burning in many places. Walking in the streets, occasionally defeated officers and soldiers ran out. When they saw them, they hurriedly turned around and ran away.
Some people heard heartbreaking cries from their homes. The doors of shops along the street were kicked open, and all kinds of merchandise and objects were scattered on the floor.
There were many infantry servants, wrapped in silk and satin, with bulging bags on their chests and waists. They had obviously suffered a lot of plunder, and the steel knives in their hands were dripping with blood.
Black smoke rose into the sky from the city, covering all the fire and blood.
