Chapter 162: Chasing the North (11)
Outside Shanyang City, there was a scene of chaos.
At the gate of the city, all of them were guarded by Wang Rengong's personal guards, who were dressed in armor and lined with spears and straight knives, blocking the city gate and preventing the rout from entering Shanyang City.
Thousands of defeated and retreating military horses gathered outside Shanyang City, and the various departments were mixed together and gathered together one after another.
The cold wind swept through the night, and many people were shivering from the cold, and the sergeants seemed to have lost their fear of Wang Rengong in the past, and complained loudly to Wang Rengong's personal guards.
"I didn't see you when I went out on the expedition, I didn't see you in the bloody battle with Liu Wu and Zhou Heng'an, and now I got out one by one and blocked the door, who are we fighting to the death?"
"Liu Ying's brigade Heng'an Jiaqi is here, and we are all defeated after the bloody battle. If you don't let us enter the city again, Liu Yingzhu will chase after you with the victory, do you want this Shanyang? Hurry up and let us enter the city to defend it! ”
"It's about to be winter, you ask Wang Taishou to spend the night outside the city to try? It's too much to treat our military men as people! ”
The chaotic cavalry soldiers, most of whom were local natives, collided with their clothes and armor, making a sound of metal clashing. Everyone looked indignant, shouting and shouting, and the scene looked extremely lively.
Although the trouble reached such an extent, these soldiers were actually quite restrained and did not step forward to rush into Wang Rengong's personal guards. Even kept a distance of five or six paces. They are all claimed to be bloody battles, and they are difficult to turn back from the battle, but these soldiers are all full of energy, and their voices are loud, where do they look like they have worked hard to return after a fight?
Even in the crowd, there were not even a few wounded.
Those foreign military horses recruited by Wang Rengong gathered together by themselves, looking at the scene with trepidation, and did not step forward to mix. These people also know in their hearts that the farce of this defeat is the backlash caused by Wang Rengong's suppression of the local indigenous generals in Mayi, all of which is just to ask Wang Rengong for an explanation. If they get involved, then maybe the matter will make a big fuss, the Mayi indigenous army has a lot of generals, after all, they have few people, it is really out of control, and they are the ones who suffer in the end. At this time, it is hoped that Wang Rengong will have the skills to calm down this farce.
The local indigenous generals of Mayi, these veterans are all in the border area for more than ten years. I have fought with the Turks, fought with all the tribes of the steppe, was recruited by two generations of the Son of Heaven and fought with all kinds of rogue thieves. All of them are like essences. They are also keenly aware that troubled times are coming, and the force they have can be sold for a better price in this troubled times. So I had the courage to direct this farce of defeat together to force Wang Rengong to the palace.
Now they let the soldiers and men quarrel at the gates of the city, but their own families gather together. Watching the movement here with a cold eye, he talked in a low voice, thinking about how much benefit he could get this time.
Every Eagle Yang Mansion is a group. Ma Yi Ying Yang Mansion will definitely not go to Hengan Ying Yang Mansion for no reason. It is also necessary to follow a backer worthy of follower, and seek the greater interests of the group in these troubled times.
Wang Rengong is generally a backer worth following, with a good family background, a good foundation in the Great Sui, and a generous way to raise soldiers. Most of these generals just forced Wang Rengong to pay more attention to himself.
There were also some generals, but they were dissatisfied with Wang Rengong's suppression of Heng'an Yingyang Mansion too much, fearing that after the collapse of Liu Wuzhou, the Turks would surging south and flooding the entire Mayi County. How can the land of the countryside be devastated like this? Therefore, when facing Liu Wuzhou's military horses, he refused to contribute. But such a hot-blooded man does not occupy the mainstream in the Yingyang Mansion of Mayi.
Under Shanyang City, there is chaos, and it looks out of control. But each group has its own thoughts, maintains the scene, and only waits for Wang Rengong to come forward.
Those people who retreated with the Yingyang Mansion of Ma Yi were gathered on the side in a daze. They didn't have the courage to go up and make trouble, and they didn't know what was going on. was requisitioned in a daze, and retreated in a daze. Now no one cares about them, and now they are shivering in the cold wind of the autumn night, and no one knows what will turn out.
The stalemate at the gates of the city seemed to last until the second half of the night. Piles of bonfires had been lit outside the city, and naturally some people had prepared food for the soldiers who were making trouble, and they went down in shifts to eat some hot food. When he had enough spirits, he came to the gate of the city and scolded.
In the middle of the night, these soldiers lost their patience, and they got closer and closer to these Wang Rengong guards. There was even a small push and shove.
These shouts are also becoming more and more unkind.
"Let's see Wang Rengong!"
"If you don't get out of the way, the grandfathers will get in! Grandpa can clean up ten of you with one hand tied! ”
"Shenwu is not far away, believe it or not, the grandfathers have joined Liu Ying to attack?"
"Wang Rengong, come out quickly!"
At the gate of the city, these Wang Rengong guards, who had no one to change shifts and blew the cold wind in the middle of the night, all had ugly faces. A general finally couldn't help but give orders to his subordinates.
"Go to the Taishou Office and see why the Taishou hasn't come out to appease the army!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At this moment, in the Taishou Administration, Wang Zhongtong, the son of Wang Rengong, who was originally satisfied and prepared to be the commander of the army and pacify Liu Wuzhou, had already taken off his armor and changed into ordinary clothes. Standing beside his father with a sad face.
Wang Rengong closed his eyes and knelt down behind a few cases, like a sculpture, and his expression did not change at all.
In the Taishou Office, you can't hear the commotion outside. But this quietness made Wang Zhongtong's heart more and more anxious.
No one knows what has become of the trouble outside Shanyang City now, whether the situation is out of control!
This battle against Shenwu has become like this in the blink of an eye. Even if his qualifications are mediocre as Wang Zhongtong, he knows that it is the refusal of the local indigenous generals in Mayi to contribute, which is finally caused.
He always thought that these soldiers were just for the sake of driving his generation. Even if the pressure is tighter, what can it be?
At the time of the Great Sui Chengping, they were high, and naturally there was no problem. But when the troubled times come, these lowly military men are not a force that can be insulted.
For a while, Wang Zhongtong was a little puzzled, these families were desperately digging into the corners, making this Great Sui collapse. In exchange for this upcoming troubled times, is it good or bad for these families?
Wang Zhongtong couldn't figure out this question. There is only one thing that can be confirmed, and that is to clean up this mess quickly!
But after Wang Rengong learned that the front had collapsed, he looked like he was as immobile as a mountain, and no one persuaded him not to move.
Just when Wang Zhongtong was so anxious, Wang Rengong suddenly opened his eyes: "Prepare the honor guard, prepare the horse!" ”
Wang Zhongtong was shocked and said in surprise: "Father? ”
Wang Rengong's complexion was like iron, and his eyes were shining, as if he had returned to the fierce appearance when he was in his prime.
"This Mayi County, I can still suppress it!"
