Chapter 751: Tear Down This Wall
Seeing the smoke of Huyang Pavilion from afar, Feng Jing knew that the time for a decision had come.
He had recovered all the men sent to the townships, but in half a day's effort, he had lost 2,000 in the south, 1,000 in the other townships, and 7,000 in the army, all concentrated in and around the county.
But the scout's return, plus the Anlu fugitives who have been gathering one after another, Heifu's army is about twice that number!
"Peters are a rabble, without armor and weapons, if it is a field battle, we may be worthwhile, but if it is a defense of the city......"
Feng Jing looked back at this small county town crowded with 30,000 migrants, Qin Shi Huang's order came in a hurry, they could not build a high wall that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, at first in order to prevent the emigrants from escaping, they could only throw them into the city, while the soldiers were guarding the city walls and streets to prevent escape.
But now, when the news of Heifu's "resurrection" came, Feng Jing had to face the situation of being attacked inside and outside.
The battlefield must not be chosen in the county seat, Feng Jing must leave, move to an open area, and give full play to the elite chariot and riding advantages of his own Guanzhong Guard!
But what about the 30,000 people in the city who were supposed to move to Guanzhong?
One of his commanders suggested: "Captain, it's better to slaughter him, and kill them all in the city!" ”
Feng Jing shook his head again and again, their family is several generations of nobles, and he is also a gentleman, so he will not do such a bottomless thing.
"No, Heifu is guilty of pretending to die, how can Anlu people be innocent? His sin is not death, let alone slaughtered, His Majesty rules the world, and he has never slaughtered the people of the Six Kingdoms! ”
Raising a butcher's knife to the people of Qin, this kind of crime, the Feng family, who has always cherished feathers, does not want to carry it.
Even if they really want to do it, they don't have time, it's half a day if it's slow, or it's an hour if it's fast, and Heifu will take the fleeing Anlu people to the city!
Feng Jing made up his mind: "The situation has changed, these 30,000 people should be abandoned directly, and our army should immediately leave Anlu and go to Yundu and Xinshi in the west." ”
"Calculate the time, my father should also receive the news from Xiakou and Wuchang Battalion, and send troops to help, from Yicheng to Anlu, more than 300 miles, at least five days to walk. After my father arrives, we will attack Anlu and fight with Heifu, at that time, although there are forty or fifty Anlu people around Heifu, most of them are women, children and old people, and they will become a burden, not a help! ”
Feng Jing immediately sent someone to the official temple to bring the Heifu family under house arrest to the North City Gate.
"As long as I bring my mother, brother and their relatives, and they are controlled by me, Heifu will still be a mouse!"
……
Seeing the smoke of Huyang Pavilion, it was not only Feng Jing, but also An Lu people.
Anlu County can be roughly divided into two urban areas: east and west.
On the edge of the river, there is a small ferry port in Xicheng, which is the location of the Lilu (residential area) and the market. Dongcheng is close to Quyang Lake, it is said that it used to be the palace of the king of Chu, and now it has been converted into an official temple - Heifu used to work here when he was a county lieutenant, and Qin Shi Huang lived here when he was on a hunting tour.
As for Xicheng, which is just across the street, it has been turned into a refugee camp for the Anlu people.
A newly built wall has completely blocked the west city, the stinky migrants have been driven into it, every five steps on the street, there is a soldier with a crossbow guard, there are those who escape over the wall directly regarded as a crime of escape, can be killed on the spot, so no one dares to take the lead.
But at the corner of the western wall, there was a group of young men, clinging to the root of the wall, hearing the sound of horses' hooves clattering and hundreds of people trotting in unison, and peeking through the small hole carefully dug up and hidden by the bushes in the corner......
Yuan Yong's gaze was farther away, he stepped back, pointing to the lonely flue that could still be seen through the two walls after it rose high:
"There's smoke!"
"It's the smoke of the Huyang Pavilion!"
His companions, who were about the same age as him and were seventeen or eighteen years old, also ran over and stood on tiptoe to watch, but said:
"Yuanyong, go to the south, there are no less than three pavilions with beacons, there are ten mile pavilions, and there are also Yun pavilions, how can you be so sure that it is Huyang Pavilion?"
Yuan Yong clenched his fists: "I didn't have Fu two years ago, and I didn't catch up with the eight hundred children of Anlu to follow the southern expedition of Wuzhong Hou, and I have always regretted that I can only go to Huyang Pavilion to pay homage to the former residence of the Marquis, in the past two years, I have been to more than 30 times, and I have touched the wooden carved tengu no less than 100 times!" ”
Therefore, he judged that the pavilion where the smoke was started must be the Huyang Pavilion more than 20 miles away!
"It seems that the rumors in the city have been true recently, Marquis Wuzhong has come back to life and brought back with eight hundred sons to save the suffering Anlu's father and brother Kundi!"
Yuan Yong was very excited, although the Anlu people were locked up in Xicheng, but every time there was a new arrival, there would always be some news, these rumors, it was transmitted on the day of entering the city yesterday, the young men all worshiped Heifu, heard that he was "resurrected", and the letter was doubtful, and they were also ready to "do something big".
But it was not enough to have a group of stunned young people, Yuan Yong immediately returned to the courtyard, ignored the obstruction of several servants, pushed open the closed door, broke into his father Yuan Bai, and had a secret meeting with several uncles......
"What are you doing here, you son?"
Yuan Bai was taken aback, and hurriedly blocked the door, and the two people next to him, Wang Gua and Dong Kui, also stood up, and the three of them were like a wall, blocking the sight of people outside.
Yuan Bai was the unlucky guy who lost thousands of dollars in a bet with Heifu when he was serving in the conscription. During the second attack on Chu, Yuan Bai, as the head of Heifu's command, took a few people to behead and make meritorious contributions, although Heifu saw that those heads were not Chu pawns, but ordinary skin-splashing rangers, but he turned a blind eye and let Yuan Bai and others get this credit.
Later, Anlu rose up in the sugar industry, and Yuan Bai led a group of people to join as soon as possible, opening sugar fields and repairing workshops. Although the big head is earned by the Heifu family, but the villagers can also get a piece of the pie, and now they have a hundred gold riches, and they were invited to the main table by Heifu at the Changjie banquet two years ago, and their social status has also risen greatly, and they have been elected as city officials, and they have become a leading figure in the county.
As for the little soldiers Wang Gua and Dong Ngai back then, they are now also county officials, and as the old department of Heifu, their promotion is guaranteed.
In the past half month, it was this group of people who maintained order in Xicheng, they negotiated with Feng Jing, and raised food everywhere to meet the livelihood of the villagers.
Yuan Yong was very dissatisfied with the appeasement attitude of the three people, and could not understand what they had gathered together all day to discuss, so he shouted:
"Huyang Pavilion is smoking, that's the signal! It's Marquis Wu Zhonghou who is back! ”
Yuan Bai had already heard his cronies and servants say this, and he also knew that his son had always wanted to fight with the officials and soldiers, so he said with a straight face:
"What do you know, you want the villagers to die? Get out of here and wait until we're done!" ”
Yuan Yong's blood surged to his face, and he pushed away the servant and said:
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, when will we wait? The Anlu people are all good citizens, rarely commit crimes, pay the most taxes, serve the most frequent conscription, and have 800 sons and daughters who have no turning back, and go south with the Marquis of Wuzhong, loyal to Daqin. But how did the court treat us? Tens of thousands of people were imprisoned in Xicheng, lacking food and clothing, and now hundreds of people have died of disease and hunger! ”
"Those soldiers from Guanzhong also regard the Anlu people as enemies of the enemy, and yesterday someone wanted to abscond, so more than a dozen people were killed, and now the corpses are still hanging on the city tower. People from Yunmengxiang said that the master of the Marquis of Wuzhong, Yan Zhen Yan Weng, an octogenarian elder, was also beaten to death because he did not want to leave the ancestral land! “
He stomped his foot and said with righteous indignation:
"If we continue to wait, we will all be tied to ropes and treated as cows, sheep, and dogs! Rush from one place to another. I heard the master of the school room say that if the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached? Father, we are like hair, and An Lu is skin, if we don't resist, these tens of thousands of people will be uprooted from the skin! ”
Yuan Bai didn't expect his son to have such an awareness, and when he was stunned, there was a burst of laughter behind him:
"Yuanbai, Yuanbai, you have a good son who knows the general situation and knows the righteousness, and now you don't have to hide it from him."
Yuan Bai, Wang Gua, and Dong Ngai only then let go of their figures, revealing the people in the hall behind them, who they had been trying to hide these days.
Like a thin monkey, sitting on the couch without a straight shape, holding a wine cup in his hand, and a second lang's legs......
Who else could it be besides Ji Ying?
……
"It turns out that my father and two uncles have been acting on the orders of Ji Jun and Marquis Wu Zhong, and they are with that Feng Duwei and the snake!"
After listening to a few people briefly talk about these days, Ji Ying disguised himself and sneaked into Anlu and hid in his own house, Yuan Yong was very ashamed, compared to a few of their young people, the elders' plans were much more far-reaching.
"When Marquis Wu Zhong's incident was in Yunmeng, he ordered me to return to Anlu, contact the old department, and wait for an opportunity to rescue my father and fellow villagers, as well as the families of our generals of the Southern Expeditionary Army."
Ji Ying drank all the wine, the least courageous guy in the Black Husband's henchmen back then, after more than ten years of strong winds and waves, he also became able to take charge of himself and had a bit of a leader's demeanor.
He said: "Now that Marquis Wu Zhong has led a large army to Anlu, I think this Feng Jing wants to abandon the city and withdraw with the generals' families!" ”
"Can't let him go!"
Yuan Bai was less oily than usual, and said: "I have children, and the prince teaches them." I have Tian Chou, the prince and the marquis, and the Anlu people, who has not received the favor of the Marquis of Wuzhong? ”
"Moreover, the sugar concubine and the heartfelt gentleman also treat the county people very well, they do not hide all the beneficial things, and share them with the Anlu people, and I can only get rich by using their profits, how can I let the other generation take her away as a hostage?"
The two of Wang Gua and Dong Kui next to them also bowed their heads and said: "When we were in Chu, we were poor, there were no summer clothes and shoes to wear, it was the Marquis of Wuzhong who gave away the clothes made at home, that was the sugar concubine who personally sewed and repaired it with a needle and a thread, we still can't forget this kindness, and now the family of Wuzhong Marquis is in trouble, and we must not sit idly by!" ”
They still remember the words of the Black Husband at that time: "The soldiers are like my hands and feet, and my mother weaves summer clothes and sews shoes, and let my hands and feet wear them, and I wear them myself. ”
The two of them said in unison: "Marquis Wuzhong regards us as siblings, the mother of the prince, and the mother of the two of us!" ”
Ji Ying also laughed: "Well said! In the past ten years, Anlu has changed many county orders, and those foreign bird officials are not of the same mind as us. But there is only one sugar woman, one Wuzhong Hou, Wu Zhonghou is the brother of Anlu people, and that sugar woman is the mother of Anlu people! ”
"Second and third sons, now that the prince has brought his soldiers to the county seat, we will stop Feng Jing for half an hour, come to the inside and outside, and wipe out all the thieves, how about it?"
"No!"
The people in the hall gladly agreed, but Yuan Yong scratched his head again: "But our weapons have been taken away......
Feng Jing implemented the order to collect troops in Anlu County, not only confiscated all the private swords and knives of the Anlu people who advocated martial arts, but also did not let go of axes for chopping wood, knives for cutting vegetables, and copper kettles for cooking meat.
However, Yuan Yong knew that there was still a batch of blades hidden in his cellar that could arm hundreds of people, and the reason why he came to his father was for those weapons.
Yuan Bai immediately asked his son to open the cellar, and Wang Gua and Dong Lyhock called the old brothers who had been soldiers and fought these days, and distributed the blades to them.
After the last sword was handed out, looking at the dense bun of Qian's hair behind him, Yuan Yong looked at the empty cellar, stomped his feet and said, "Hate Shao......"
The Yuanbai family gathered thousands of people, and thousands of men outside were also willing to participate, in order to repay the ten years of kindness of the Heifu family, and fight to the death with those thieves who treated them harshly, but most of them were empty-handed and hit with their heads?
Ji Ying clapped her hands and told everyone loudly.
"The prince said, if the blade is not enough......"
He raised his arms and exclaimed:
"Then chop wood for soldiers, unveil poles for flags!"
……
On Feng Jing's order, a 500 lord with hundreds of people immediately set off and galloped along the streets where Heifu had held a long feast in the past, and galloped to the county temple, and they wanted to take the families of Heifu and the main generals of the Southern Expeditionary Army with Feng Jing to evacuate Anlu......
But after only half a mile, the servant next to him pointed to the sky above Xicheng and shouted:
"Five hundred lords, there is smoke rising in the West City!"
The five hundred lords looked over their heads, and sure enough, a huge thick smoke rose from the west city......
"Is it water?"
But it's not like an ordinary fire, it's more like a man-made fire, and then add dry manure and other things to it, the fire is small and the smoke is big!
Looking at the long-lasting beacon smoke of the Huyang Pavilion in the south, the five hundred lords sighed in their hearts.
"It's not good, there are rebels in the city, and they want to use cigarettes as a number, and they should cooperate with the outside!"
But this is no longer something he needs to pay attention to, the five hundred lords must immediately rush to the county temple and take the Heifu family away!
But before he could hurry up, a brick was thrown from the right side, impartial, and hit the forehead of the five hundred lords!
This is an ordinary green brick, mottled and variegated, with green moss on the surface, I don't know how many years it has been stuffed in the wall and how many years it has endured wind and rain.
Just like tens of thousands of ordinary people in Anlu County.
With the anger of the Anlu people, it smashed the five hundred lords directly off the horse, and his head was broken and bleeding.
The five hundred lords covered their wounds and looked to the upper right, but they saw that on the roof of the high gate compound near the wall, there were several young men who had already climbed up, and they were either armed with simple bows and arrows, or copied stones and bricks, and were throwing them at the soldiers without a head or a face!
"Shoot down!"
Just as the five hundred lords angrily commanded the soldiers to wind up, they felt the ground shake!
"Bang!"
A loud crash sounded on his side, and someone was slamming into the wall!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
One, two, three!
The solid walls of the new base, the cage wall that kept the Anlu people in a small city, he was afraid, he was trembling, and as he hit again and again, he began to tremble, and the trembling amplitude became bigger and bigger!
Eventually, it collapsed!
The wall fell, and a group of Anlu people, led by Yuan Yong and his companions, held the huge beams and pillars removed from the house in their arms, shouted a huge trumpet, and rushed out directly, and behind them, there were hundreds of thousands of people, black and oppressive, like a torrent that had been accumulated for a long time.
After tearing down the wall that had taken away their freedom, the Anlu people still did not stop, and rushed straight towards the five hundred lords and the soldiers behind him!
Its momentum is like a river collapse and collapse!
