Chapter 31 Scholar
The bandits are not stupid, seeing that they have even tried tricks such as throwing dung, they have to temporarily retreat to the city and set up camp - this gives the people of Xuzhou a chance to breathe.
In fact, judging from the strength of the bandits, it is not impossible to really attack, but the problem lies in this dung water: they are already a rabble, and it is difficult to regard death as a return, and now they not only want to die, but they still have to be scalded to death by dung and water, and their morale is weakened by three points.
Since the city could not enter, the bandits wanted to lure them out, and counted the ways in which the two armies fought to provoke the enemy, and they sent a few soldiers with the loudest voices, standing at the gate of the city and scolding, scolding Wei Heming from the general soldiers, and scolding the people of Xuzhou from Wei Heming, among which the general soldiers suffered the most saliva, and even the ancestors were dragged out for several generations to swear a foul language.
Not to mention, the general soldier almost fell into the agitation method, rolled up his sleeves and shouted "shameless boy", and was about to run out of the city with great momentum, but was stopped by a group of prisoners.
"You hairy boys, how do you know how to be a husband!" the general soldier shouted. "If he dares to insult my ancestor, I'll go out and tear him alive!"
Wei Heming smiled slightly, and sent several of the most cursing prisoners to the city wall.
These prisoners are known for their sharp teeth, loud voices, full of neutrality, and they scold people in an easy-to-understand and well-written manner.
A few days ago, they had just criticized the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, but now they were standing on the city wall, and their grievances had turned into lip service, scolding people like cannons, and they were scolding those bandits up and down.
They are very good at stepping on people's feet, and when they scold the ministers, they still say "disloyalty, unfilial piety, unkindness and injustice", and when they scold this group of rogues, they begin to say "stupid as pigs and dogs" and "pickled minions", for fear that the group of bandits below will not understand what they are scolding.
The chief soldier was a little happier at this time.
The two waves of people scolded each other under the wall like this, Wei Heming was not in a hurry, the defending side was always easier than the besieging side, if it was really waiting for the arrival of the Beijing Division, this group of rabble would just be captured in minutes.
But this group of bandits was very anxious, they originally wanted to burn, kill and loot and then escape, but now they can't even enter the city gate, so they have to find another way.
Wei Heming ordered the city to be on guard.
Now there is not a shortage of manpower in the city, He Lan has always been a little clear, Wei Heming said that these people are extremely vicious, so he made up a few rumors, coupled with the rumors that the people in China have the ability to add fuel and vinegar, this gang of rogues has become a monster that eats people's flesh and drinks people's blood.
The people of Xuzhou were skeptical, but when they thought about the origin of these people as mountain bandits, they preferred to believe that they existed, and the old and weak women and children made some war preparations, while the men were requisitioned as temporary soldiers, and they were quite able to deal with them.
Just a few days later, Wei Heming received news that this group of bandits was secretly digging tunnels, and the location of the tunnels was in the homes of well-known big families in the city.
Wei Heming's eyes were surprised: "How did you find out?"
Song Yi grinned: "I sneaked out of the city to pretend to be a bandit to find out, anyway, there are so many of them that they don't recognize me coming." ”
Even Wei Heming couldn't help but be surprised, it was common for the two armies to fight and send spies, but it was really rare for a son like Song Yi to be so bold.
Wei Heming pressed the corner of his forehead: "This thing is easy to do, easy to do, difficult to do, and really difficult to do." ”
Song Yi had a bad look: "I want to hear about it." ”
"It would be a mistake for us to ask for money and food from those big families these days, and now we want to raid his house. Wei He said. "What's more, we don't know if this tunnel has been dug through, if it hasn't been dug through, we will run empty, and next time if we want to copy him in a bright way, it will be difficult. ”
Song Yi blinked: "This is easy to do, I will sneak into his house and stare at it." ”
Wei He said in his heart, he didn't see it before, this person didn't look like a big man, but like a ranger.
Two days later, Wei Heming really went to the door to raid the big family's house.
The big owner looked angry: "Wei Heming, you deceive people too much, I will give you all the food and money, but now you want to bring people to copy my portal! Do you really think that you can be lawless in this Xuzhou?"
Wei Heming shook his head: "Wei Heming has no intention of offending, but it is just a matter of life and death for the people of Xuzhou, so he has to do it." ”
The master said: "If this matter is over, I will sue the master of Beijing with a complaint!"
Wei Heming sighed: "I'm afraid this matter can't be done!"
The master asked, "Are you afraid?"
Wei Heming shook his head, pointed at Song Yi who walked out of the mansion, and sighed: "I also want to believe Your Excellency, but Your Excellency is really ...... It's so disappointing. ”
The master's face changed.
Song Yi shook his head and walked out, humming an unknown song in his mouth, and arched his hand: "My lord, the location of the secret passage has been ascertained, and I will take you there." ”
Wei Heming nodded, and Song Yi led everyone into the big family's study.
As if just like the plot of the storytelling, the secret passage is hidden in the study.
Wei Heming sighed, and as soon as he raised his hand, a soldier tied the big family strongly.
He also knows the reason why the big family colludes with these bandits, if the bandits come in, the credit of the people of the country to govern Xuzhou will be wiped out, maybe they can still die in the chaos, and the big family can also join the rest of the family to join him and take the credit to themselves by the way.
Song Yi already looks childish, and there is a dimple on her cheek when she laughs, and she looks even younger.
It's just that what he said makes it hard for people to think that he is young and cute.
He pointed to the hole and asked, "My lord, we have a lot of dung left, why don't we fill it in when they come?"
Everyone: "......"
Wei Heming still has some compassion left: "Don't waste it, what if they attack the city again?"
Song Yi thought for a moment and sighed: "Then we have to take the smoke, but we only blocked this one, and the smoke effect may not be good." ”
Everyone: "......"
Wei Heming stiffened his neck and nodded: "Just do as you say." ”
So the bandits were suffocated to death in that secret passage, Song Yi was still sighing there, thinking that it did not have the greatest effect, but Wei Heming said in his heart that the big family's house was only afraid that everyone would dare to live again.
God knows how many people died in that secret passage, because the aftermath of the plague has not gone, it is really not suitable for exhuming corpses, Wei Heming directly let people fill in the soil.
After this time, the bandits' vitality was greatly damaged, and they could not advance or retreat, so they had to jump over the wall in a hurry and storm the city gate with dung and water doers.
Wei Heming has also gained some temperament in the past few days, and seeing that their morale is not high, and half of them are missing, he immediately ordered to order troops and generals, and directly went out of the city to give him a head-on attack.
If you want to say that the group of prisoners who are still able to use internal affairs and ideas, there are few who can be used on the battlefield. He Lan and the other prisoners did not build a Wei Heming expedition, and the rhetoric was quite reasonable, he was young, his strength was small, and the battlefield was not as good as cavalry shooting, so he was going to give people appetizers.
And if he dies on the battlefield at this time, it will be a huge blow to the morale of Xuzhou.
Wei Heming smiled bitterly: "Then which of you can lead the troops?"
The prisoners were silent.
Only that Song Yi looked shy: "It's better to ...... Shall I try?"
Wei Heming asked, "Will you lead the troops?"
Song Yi said: "I haven't received it, but I have read the military book and am willing to give it a try." ”
Wei Heming stared at him for a long time, and then agreed.
He Lan smiled: "Dead horses are live horse doctors, this is not your preference." ”
Wei Heming was helpless: "Aren't we all working as live horse doctors on dead horses all the way?"
He Lan thought about it, and it was really like this.
It's just that Song Yi didn't disappoint them, as soon as he stepped across his horse and led the troops, his temperament immediately became different from that baby-faced boy, and he killed two back and forth in the crowd, which greatly boosted the morale of the whole army, and defeated the bandits.
He Lan shook her fan and smiled: "I really have some ability." ”
Wei Heming stared at him and wondered where this Song Yi was sacred. He had heard of the Song family, and he also knew how many sons the Song family had, but in his previous life, he had no impression of Song Yi.
Where did this son of the Song family come from?
Before Wei Heming could figure it out, he listened to a wave of shaking and agitation under the city wall, and somehow, his morale suddenly rose a little.
"Little Prince! The Little Prince's Soldiers Are Back!" Wei Heming was stunned for a moment, and saw the "Rui" character flag coming with smoke and dust from a distance, and suddenly felt that his heart had fallen into place.
In the past few days, he has been a little worried, these bandits actually attacked Xuzhou directly through Chu Fengge, which made him faintly worried about whether something happened to Chu Fengge, and now when he saw Chu Fengge's marching banner, he was relieved.
"Pass the order," Wei Heming held aloft the talisman. "The whole army will converge with the little prince and encircle and suppress the thieves!"
