Chapter 52 Tangzhou Iron Cavalry
Fan Buzhong held his beard and thought for a moment.
"Then it depends on Liu... how well the rebels are defending."
"If the defense is good, how can the Tangzhou cavalry be willing to dismount their elite troops to fight on foot? Moreover, there are orders from the Ministry of War. We can’t stay here for a long time, so we will naturally withdraw after not being able to capture the enemy.” How much force can the Tangzhou cavalry use to attack the city? ”
"If they withdraw, the remaining soldiers in the city will be unable to shout, so they will naturally have no choice but to retreat."
"But if the rebels do not defend well and are rushed down by the officers and soldiers, it will be dangerous."
"So," Fan Buzhong said decisively, "the next three days are crucial. The officers and soldiers will attack fiercely. After three days, their anger will be exhausted."
Lu Ye asked carefully again After asking a few questions, I found that the old boy talked about the situation in a clear and logical manner. Although he was old, his mind was not confused at all and his thinking was clear.
And maybe because he has failed in many attempts all the time, he is a troll and tells the court nothing.
He is very insightful on many issues, and he is really not an ordinary bookseller.
Lu Ye got the answer he wanted. Seeing that the scope of Fan Buzhong's criticism began to shift towards several examiners, he waved him to leave. By this time, the night was already dark, and Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi also left.
A servant brought food. Lu Ye was so hungry that he devoured it and fell asleep.
Today's various changes are not as severe as those of sleepyheads.
Whether you are fighting or fleeing, it is always good to have a full stomach and wake up to recharge your batteries.
When he woke up again, it was already three o'clock in the morning outside the house. It was a good day.
What just made the scene worse was the sound of fighting coming from the wind.
The entire Heishan County town seemed like a solitary reef in the waves, being beaten and shaken by the sound waves everywhere. A battle was going on on the city wall outside.
Occasionally, there are booming and booming sounds, and the earth trembles slightly.
Lu Ye hurried out of the house, only to see a small black dot arcing across the sky.
When the black spot got closer, I realized that it was actually a round stone.
The stones fell from the sky, with a small portion falling near the city wall, and some crossing the city wall, smashing the houses behind the wall into pieces.
Occasionally, stones fell on the city wall, accompanied by screams, and the soldiers guarding the city were smashed into pieces.
Fortunately, Tiegongfang is close to the city, still some distance from the city wall, and cannot be affected.
Lu Ye watched from a distance, and from time to time people's bodies were hit by stones on the city wall. When the stones stopped, a group of officers and soldiers rushed up along the long ladder.
Under the city wall, there was also a large group of refugee soldiers hiding in the cave where soldiers were hiding. The two sides surrounded sections of the city wall and fought fiercely.
"Brother, the officers and soldiers have exerted their strength... and used catapults." Zhang Cunyi came over with a worried look, "In addition, the eldest lady has sent a lot of livestock, horses, mules, weapons and armor. ."
Lu Ye nodded and scanned the courtyard.
I saw that yesterday's mourning hall had been demolished, and the old, weak, women, children and wounded people in Tiegongfang were coming in and out, all wearing short clothes and thin boots.
Everyone was neatly dressed as they were fleeing. Some of them had bulging bags in their arms, but they placed all the ready-made dry food close to their bodies.
On the other side, Wang Hu was training a group of newly arrived slaves, acting as a whip-wielding instructor. Many of the slaves were whipped by him until they screamed, forming a chaotic formation.
If there is a battle in a few days, these servants will all be on the city wall.
In the stable, in addition to horses and mules, there are several vehicle frames parked. Someone is inspecting the axles and wheels and doing some repair work.
Zhang Cunyi leaned over and whispered.
"Brother, I sent my junior brother and a few servants to keep an eye on the four walls. If we can't defend them..."
Lu Ye nodded.
"When the time comes, go meet up with the young lady and leave together."
If this city is captured, he doesn't want to be blocked in the dead city.
The refugee army also captures servants to give people a way to survive. When officers and soldiers come in, they don’t even need servants. The heads of homeless thieves are nothing to them, and the more the better.
That is the real no way out.
But in this troubled world, where is the real peaceful place?
Fan Buzhong said that the refugee armies from several surrounding provinces had already captured the provincial capitals, and it must be even more chaotic. The world is so big, but no one has a safe place to stand.
The two chose the highest roof of the courtyard, stood on it and looked around, but they saw the shouts of killing on the city wall getting louder and louder. The homeless army and officers and soldiers changed one after another. On the top of the city, But he always persisted. At this time, the servants who inquired reported back.
It is said that yesterday the Tangzhou cavalry killed tens of thousands of refugees outside the city wall in one day, killing them so hard that their knives were curled up.
However, after Tangzhou's cavalry killed them, he was unable to fight anymore. The Dongsai Prefecture army who came from afar wanted stability and only established a stronghold. In addition, it was getting late and it was not suitable to fight anymore, so Heishan County actually spent the night peacefully.
And today, the news that Tangzhou cavalry entered the city to massacre all the men and women in the city has spread throughout the city.
Not to mention that the refugee army gave up, even the many remaining young people in the city gave up. They spontaneously organized to defend the city, and they were even more active than they were in dealing with the refugee army's siege.
The morale that had already hit the bottom suddenly surged to the top.
The refugee army was not welcome at all, but the officers and soldiers entering the city were even more frightening. The servants fought hard one by one without using swords or guns to intimidate them, and they fought extremely tenaciously.
Today, it was the Dongsai Mansion army that attacked the city. Although they deployed catapults, ladders and other equipment, they had no choice but to fight against the crazy servants.
The Tangzhou cavalry only set up large camps around the city gate and did not attack the city.
Lu Ye observed for a while and saw that the city was relatively stable. He thought that the Tangzhou cavalry suddenly appeared yesterday and their cruel methods shocked the guards on the city wall. If they attacked the city at that time, maybe people would They dispersed in a hurry.
Today the refugee army shares the same hatred with the enemy. It will be difficult for the officers and soldiers to attack the city again.
He no longer paid attention to the battlefield situation, and asked Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi about their injuries. Both of them said that they had recovered with the help of Xuelian Pills, and if they defended the city in a few days, they would be able to fight.
The few of them had a meal together, and Zhang Cunyi and Wang Hu went off to train and raise their children.
Lu Ye returned to the room and sat cross-legged.
This gives us time to review yesterday’s battle situation.
He expected that Qin Tong would do something bad, but he didn't expect that the lunatic would intercept him halfway.
Had it not been for Zhang Cunyi’s desperate shot, he would have been a dead man at this moment.
In troubled times, the strong bully the weak and take lives at will, just based on their mood and not right or wrong.
Qin Tong died because he was not strong enough. If he was really a steel-framed martial artist, even if the three of them risked their lives, they would never be his match.
Think again of the unfathomable skills of breaking through the sky, the ruthlessness of the hero that is far beyond ordinary people, and the Tangzhou cavalry who are killing people outside the city.
Lu Ye felt deeply uneasy.
He wants to live, but there are always people who don't let him live well.
Lu Ye crossed his legs. Only by practicing and strengthening himself could he feel a little safer.
Krypton life practice brings stability, and you can arrange your own lifespan.
What’s wrong with spending your life? The strength gained in exchange belongs to oneself.
Xiaocheng Copper Skin Warrior is not safe yet, continue to rise!
