The Xia army that came to the aid annihilated the Hu cavalry who were chasing and killing the people in the tea time! The general who led the team did not give the order to continue the pursuit, but stopped where he was. Gathered the people and Qin Yu and their team.

After asking Qin Yu clearly what camp they belonged to, the general frowned and didn't say anything, just asked Ding Run, who had the highest rank, to count the number of people and return to Dingyuan with them. Qin Yu and the three of them gathered together again, and before they had time to express their brotherly feelings of parting from life and death in victory, they immediately set off again! It's just that on the way to Dingyuan this time, they don't have to worry about any Hu soldiers!

Soon after they set out, they saw a large number of people flocking on their way, and after a while, they saw dust and smoke. But in the distance, there was a group of soldiers with neat appearances, swords and shields. Holding a large banner with a moire black background.

When he got closer, Brother Xu looked at these soldiers with excitement. After he saw a cloud-patterned black-background banner with the word "Han" written on it, he grabbed Qin Yu's shoulder and said excitedly.

"Qin Yu, look! It is the handsome banner of the military commander! The commander himself led the army! "Handsome flags? Qin Yu looked up and saw the word "Han" written on it, and couldn't help but think that this was the middle-aged general who released himself on the execution ground that day!

The neat and tidy soldiers didn't care about Qin Yu's group of routs, and went straight past Qin Yu and them. Run forward. But Xu Wei said with a look of unfinished business: "The military commander is here, these Hu soldiers who dare to invade don't want to go back alive!" ”

Qin Yu had long been accustomed to Brother Xu's appearance. In my heart, I also remembered the general that Brother Xu had often mentioned to him on the road in the past two days.

This Han Boxian is noble, and he is a veritable "tiger of the gate". He joined the army since he was a child, and fought on the battlefield with his father, Han Wu, the general of the auxiliary country. In the first battle, he rushed into the enemy formation alone, but he thought that this Han Boxian really took the head of the enemy general from the army! For a time, it was the top three armies. Since then, Han Boxian has been following his father Han Wunan to fight in the north, after the death of his father, he went out of the town to lead the armies in northern Xinjiang, and fought against the northern barbarians for more than ten years. Win more and lose less, so that the North Barbarians have not been able to advance an inch for more than ten years! The feats of war are magnificent, and the barbarians are shocked! And because of the perennial battle with the barbarian cavalry in the northern frontier, Han Boxian has practiced an extremely excellent infantry and cavalry coordination tactics, even the northern barbarians say that the cavalry under his command is like a fire in the plain, unstoppable, and the infantry under his command is as safe as Mount Tai, unshakable.

In the years when he left the town in northern Xinjiang, he protected the territory and the people, and there was no mistake. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a "national hero".

For such a famous general, Qin Yu still admires it. It's just that according to Brother Xu, a few years ago, for some reason, His Majesty suddenly issued an order to condemn Han Boxian and demote Han Boxian to the commander of the Northwest Frontier Army. However, the generals who could lead hundreds of thousands of troops from the north of the town were relegated to the small commanders of the northwest side army. Come to think of it, the guilt will not be small!

But Qin Yu didn't respond to Brother Xu, in the current chaotic situation, he was only worried about the few people in the family.

Xu guessed what Qin Yu was thinking, Ding Run opened his mouth and said with relief, "Xiaoji, don't worry too much, this Dingyuan must be solid, don't worry too much about your family."

Qin Yu still looked worried, "Brother Ding, I don't think the situation is optimistic!" This Hu cavalry can get close to this Dingyuan, and it is definitely not because of one or two dam failures, and it will be touched away! I'm only worried that if this Hu cavalry attacks the city, the high walls of Dingyuan City are thick, and it is not comparable to other counties, and once we enter the city, once the two armies are deadlocked, we are afraid that we will be trapped in the city! ”

These words silenced the two eldest brothers. I don't know what to say!

on this avenue. More and more people with luggage are heading towards Dingyuan, this military and civilian are mixed, the avenues and trails are from the people and soldiers, and a fast horse suddenly galloped from behind: "Dodge, dodge, your grandmother's, don't have long ears!" ”

A Xia Jun who had lost his helmet and was only wearing the light armor of the horse army rode his horse like a gallop and galloped, looking like a deserter! At this time it was foggy and rainy weather, there had just been a light rain, the soil was fertile on the side of the road, a deep pit was stepped on, pedestrians were on the road, it was very difficult to avoid both sides, just because the dodge was slow, the knight was furious, and the whip was slammed down.

"Ouch!" One of the people was caught off guard, and his thin shoulder was whipped so hard that he shivered in pain and fell to the ground

Brother Xu couldn't help but be furious when he saw it, he was a man with a very strong man's blood, when he saw the people being beaten, but the beating seemed to be a spineless deserter, he yelled directly, rushed up directly, and jumped up on a dry land.

That horse, Xia Jun was wearing light armor, a saber under his ribs, and a light green battle robe, obviously not a small soldier, at least a team of officers, he reined in his mount, and whipped away the people who were blocking him, and just wanted to knock the horse forward, Xu Wei rose from the ground and reached in front of him.

"Bang!"

With a strong slap in the heart, he kicked the officer off his horse, and threw his whole body more than two feet away, and fell into the soft mud that he had plowed by the side of the road, and the officer struggled a few times, and his eyes went black, and he fainted.

Xu Wei scolded angrily: "Bastard, if you don't give you some power, you should bully the people even if you are a coward!" As he spoke, he hurried over, helped the people up, and said distressedly: "Fellow, how are you, are you injured?" ”

Although the people's clothes were not torn, there was a bloody mark on their shoulders, which was extremely painful, but seeing that Xu Wei cared about him so much, he shook his head and said: "I'm fine, this military master, you ------ you kicked that military master, how can you live this -----?" ”

Xu Wei glanced into the field, and saw that there were only a few fleeing people around, who were looking at him with awe, and said with a heart: "Don't be afraid, fellow countryman. Come! Get up and go into town! ”

Xu Wei's sudden move also made Ding Run and Qin Yu a little speechless, but the two of them didn't care about the officer who was kicked away by Xu Wei, and directly crossed over!

At this time, at the entrance of Dingyuan City, Han Boxian, the supreme military leader, was passing down the general order to deploy Dingyuan City Defense. The city of Dingyuan was crowded, and the soldiers and civilians mixed together, forming a long queue, scrambling to enter the city. Vehicles, livestock, and pedestrians of all kinds crowded the road and even all the places on both sides of the road where people could stand.

If you look down from the sky, the city gate is like a gourd mouth, and the refugees and armies outside continue to expand and expand, just like the ink gushing out of the gourd mouth, rendering a piece of land.

In fact, now this "ink" is not flowing out, but pouring in, but because of the increasing crowd outside, people do not feel entered, but have a feeling of leaking out.

The captain standing on the castle tower was stunned when he saw this scene, and shouted angrily: "How can this be, how can this be? Drive them away, these refugees are blocking the city gates like this, how can our army arrange city defenses"

Under this order, the people couldn't bear it anymore, and cursed one after another: "You fucking take the court's money, enjoy the people's fat and people's anointment, and if you can't protect your family and defend the country, you have to drive away the people?" "Those soldiers have no shame to carry out such an order, and if you want to rush, how can you rush? Unless they kill all the people, they are soldiers and not thieves after all, how can such a thing that has lost their conscience be done?

---------- Dividing Line----------

"The officers and men of the battalions took turns to go up to the city to defend as I commanded; How many horses are there in the city? All of them were transferred out, and cavalry guards were set up to garrison the four cities, and one door was saved, and the flying cavalry was immediately reported to the assassin Yamen, and the commander immediately divided his troops to rescue; Rolling wood and stones, distributed on all sides, every 100 steps under the city wall, bury a large urn, listen to the movements of the Hu army, in case the Hu army rats steal the hole! ”

In the temporary command location that the Yamen of the Assassin Shi was transformed, a general was promulgating the general orders in an orderly manner, and the generals from all walks of life took the orders one after another.

On the streets of Jinan, Shi Tiemiao, the state assassin, led a team of yamen from the state department to inspect, looking at the situation in the city, and also giving orders: "Check the grain storage in the city, set up porridge sheds in the four cities, and give relief to refugees; Ask the squires of the state to preside over and call on large households to donate grain to the people; Although the weather is getting colder, if you are not careful, so many people are crowded together, there will still be a plague, so it is necessary to set up a refugee resettlement place in an open and spacious place, requisition the city's Chinese medicine merchants, pharmacies, and langzhong, and prepare a medicinal soup to prevent the plague and distribute it to the people......"

Tie Miao stood at an intersection and looked at the alley, which was occupied by refugees as their temporary residence, and if they wanted to go over, they couldn't even put their feet in, Tie Miao frowned, and ordered: "Mobilize manpower and clear the streets." ”

A servant beside him said with a bitter face: "Lord Assassin Shi, so many people have poured in the city at once, and we can't take care of our manpower at all." ”

Tie Miao thought for a while, and said: "From the Yamen of our state, from among the people who fled into the city, recruit young and strong, establish a street patrol team, and maintain law and order in Jinan Prefecture, so as to prevent someone from taking advantage of the fire to rob and run rampant. Then recruit some people from among the refugees, set up sweeping teams, and clear the streets, and make sure that the main streets are not occupied by the people as dwellings, otherwise the mobilization of troops and horses, and the transportation of ordnance will become a problem. ”

"Yes!"

Tie Miao looked up at the sky and sighed, "It's just flying and causing trouble!" In this big state city, so many people have fled, how should this official deal with himself! He thought for a while and said to those officials: "So many people, and they are sleeping on the streets, they will not be so well-behaved, littering, excreting everywhere, it is inevitable, if this continues, within three days, Jinan City will be smelly, and the cleaning team will be responsible for this matter." ”

"Yes!"

Tie Miao inspected the city of Jinan for a long time, and his officials had already counted the number of grain stored in the city and reported it, compared to Lingzhou, Dingyuan was the rear, and the hoarded grain was not a small amount. But now it is determined that the population in the far city has surged, and although the grain this autumn has matured, it has not yet been harvested into the city, and although there is a lot of grain in the city, it is maintained at a low level! It is extremely limited, but once the Hu army besieges the city and refuses to retreat, but besieges the city, these grains will last for a month and a half at most.

As soon as he heard the news, Tie Miao became nervous, and hurriedly rushed to report the news to the general who commanded in the Yamen of the Assassin History, and the general was also heavy when he heard it, and he said for a long time: "The former Japanese commander led the army and waved his army south, and the army in the city was empty, but according to the general, this Xihu is coming and leaving every time he invades the territory, and he will retreat after plundering. I have also sent many messengers to inform the marshal of the situation here, and I think that the marshal will lead the army back to help in a few days! ”

Although there was nothing wrong with what the general said, Tie Miao was still a little uneasy in his heart, but this general was now the supreme military leader in the city, and he had to hold the distance and hope for these troops. It's a bit discouraging to be skeptical. He knew how serious the consequences of the unstable morale of the army were.

Seeing that this Tie Miao was a little lacking in confidence, the general couldn't help but say in a loud voice: "Iron Thorn History, this Hu man has not arrived, why should he destroy his prestige first." 'Defend a city, defend the world, with thousands of soldiers, fight millions of soldiers, cover the Jianghuai, and frustrate its momentum. The world is immortal, whose merit is it? 'Ben will be willing to die with the assassin Shi and the city to repay the country! ”

In fact, it is no wonder that Tie Miao has these concerns, this Hu people suddenly attacked, and people continued to flee outside the city, plus the defenders were insufficient. It's inevitable that there will be some panic. But seeing that the general had already expressed his position, as the highest administrator of Lingzhou, he couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart, and hurriedly said solemnly: "What the general said is, no matter how strong the enemy is or how weak the enemy is, we should defend Dingyuan to repay the country!" ”

The general couldn't help but say happily: "Good! With the words of Lord Thorn Shi, my Lingzhou civil and military are of one heart and one mind, and it is difficult for Hu people to bargain. Ben will be willing to make a bloody alliance with Lord Thorn Shi, people are in the city, and people are dead in the city! ”

Tie Miao was only worried because of the suddenness of the incident, and was provoked by the general's words, and a heroic spirit surged up, and immediately called someone to bring a big bowl, filled it with spirits, and the two of them made an alliance with blood and swore to defend Jinan together.

The city of Dingyuan was overcrowded, full of fleeing civilians and teams of officers and soldiers hurrying back and forth. Qin Yu and the others were caught in the crowd of refugees, and finally crossed the city gate and walked into this Dingyuan City!

Qin Yu immediately wanted to go home to have a look, although he had only been away for a few days, but he felt that he had been away for a long time, and he was eager to go back to see, but as soon as he entered the city, Qin Yu and others stood at the gate of the city A lieutenant greeted him.

After casually checking the military badges, they were ordered to go to the southern city to guard! He can only look for an opportunity to go home and have a look!

Just as Qin and them entered the city, the city gate had been closed, and the captain who was guarding the city gate was standing at the head of the city, and saw that a team of Hu cavalry had broken into the outside of Dingyuan City, and saw that the Hu army was about to rush into the city behind the fleeing people, and saw that there were no soldiers among the people under the city, so he immediately made a decision and ordered to release arrows. A dense rain of arrows went down, killing the fleeing people and the Hu army who were charging forward, and then forcibly closed the city gate.

The people who were kept out of the city had no choice but to flee to other places.
