Chapter 462: Persuasion (I)
"What?" Song Ming was taken aback, their location was near the city wall in the south, there were people grabbing grain here, and there were people attacking the city outside, this... This is so premeditated!
Moreover, the combat effectiveness of these refugees is not weak, and in just such a moment, the soldiers in front of the granary have been rushed away, and the two sides are entangled together.
At present, the number of refugees is a little larger, and the soldiers are caught off guard, causing the soldiers in front to quickly retreat, and finally they simply scatter and flee, and those refugees see the soldiers fleeing, one by one, like wild beasts, roaring and rushing into the granary to snatch the food.
The soldiers retreated to the side and joined up with the other soldiers in the square, intending to launch a second assault and retake the granary.
Chen Fei was the old god standing in the protection center of the soldiers he was in, giving orders one after another. "The lame one just now was caught by Lao Tzu!"
"We just hold on, don't take the initiative to attack! If they come against us, don't be relentless! ”
"Brothers, don't be afraid, General Cheng will lead a large army to kill later, we just need to hold on!"
At this moment, Song Ming came to Chen Fei with someone in a hurry, pointed at Chen Fei angrily, stomped his feet and said, "Lord Chen!" I said that opening a granary would make a mess! You still don't believe it! Now the rebel army of four or five thousand people has entered the city! What can I do? ”
"Four or five thousand? Are they all here? That's just right! Clean sweep! Chen Fei laughed and waved his hand at Song Ming: "Lord Song, go find a safe place to hide, look at these people's red eyes, if you move slowly, I'm afraid you will be chopped by them!" ”
Song Ming saw that there were a few people rushing towards him, although he was blocked by the soldiers, he was still panicked when he saw this scene, so he hurriedly ran away with people.
Qin Huaidao saw this scene of chaos and killing, and said worriedly: "Ah Fei, we don't have many people, so let's retreat?" ”
Counting the troops that Chen Fei brought out from his own home, there were a total of forty or fifty people present, and the number of people was indeed a little less, although the other party's weapons were not very good, but the number of people on the scene was twice as many as they were here, and there were still four or five thousand people on the way to kill, it was really not safe to stay here.
"Good!" Chen Fei agreed to Qin Huaidao's request. "Retreat slowly, don't alarm these people."
The circle formation of soldiers slowly retreated, during which some refugees noticed them, but no one dared to come up when they saw the cold spears in the hands of these soldiers, and finally Chen Fei and the others safely evacuated from this chaotic area and joined Cheng Chumo, who came with a large army.
"Ah Fei, I divided my army of five hundred people to evacuate the surrounding residents, and the rest of the people were brought. You said you want to fix it. ”
Cheng Chumo wiped the sweat from his forehead, took two breaths and looked at the chaotic scene in front of him and scolded: "Donkey Day, there are really refugees who come to grab food, these things that don't know whether they are alive or dead, they don't receive good food, they have to rely on robbing, and they kill the local guards, this behavior is similar to the rebels, we ......."
"Brother Chumo." Chen Fei stopped him and sighed: "They are also forced to be helpless, although their behavior is extreme, but now it is not enough to be characterized as a rebellion, you take the brothers up, remember, if you can, try not to kill, it is best to escort people back!" Forget it, I'll go with me later, if I can persuade you to surrender, it would be best. ”
Cheng Chumo nodded solemnly, waved his hand back, and said, "Brothers, come with me!" Saying that, Cheng Chumo led 10,000 soldiers to kill. The more than 100 people who robbed the granary at the beginning were properly surrounded, and almost there was little room for resistance, so they were all added with long knives and captured in place.
Later, Cheng Chumo ordered the soldiers to form a phalanx of twenty people, and the fifty phalanxes covered each other's advances and marched towards the chaotic people at the south gate. Chen Fei and others also followed.
Cheng Chumo's ability to lead troops to fight is worth believing, 10,000 elite soldiers against four or five thousand refugees who have no decent weapons in their hands, and more than a dozen of them were knocked down in just one face, all of them were refugees.
Cheng Chumo obeyed Chen Fei's words, did not let his subordinates die, just cut them, and then tied them up.
More than 10,000 people formed a phalanx, approaching step by step with sophisticated weapons in their hands, and there was still a lot of pressure on these people who had not experienced much war, and these people lacked food, so they had little strength and did not have too many thoughts of resistance in their hearts, so some of them threw away their weapons and surrendered.
This undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the others, and when they saw someone surrender, several others stood at the front to follow suit.
Of course, there were not many people who surrendered, Chen Fei roughly counted them, there were about twenty, and it had nothing to do with the whole situation. But the surrender of these people, coupled with the people who had fallen to the ground and wailed before, undoubtedly caused great psychological pressure on the rest of the thousands of men.
After Chen Fei gave the order, treat the surrendered people well, and immediately go to help the wounded, after these people were taken down, the refugees also stopped fighting with the guards, clenched the rudimentary weapons in their hands, resisted in front of them, and looked at the elite soldiers of the court vigilantly.
And all the refugees gradually shrank together, and all with a look of determination.
Chen Fei knew that it would be difficult to convince these people to lay down their weapons, but he was still willing to give it a try.
"Everyone!" Chen Fei pushed away his shield, calmly walked to the front of the team, faced the refugees, and said loudly: "I am the deposed ambassador of the Southern Dao of the Imperial Court, Chen Fei, who was ordered by His Majesty to come to quell the rebellion!" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a small-scale commotion on the other side, and everyone's eyes looking at Chen Fei were full of hostility.
Chen Fei cleared his throat and raised his voice again: "But don't worry, I don't want to embarrass everyone, and I don't want to fight with everyone." As you can see, from the very beginning of the opening of the warehouse to the present, my army has not killed a single person who has brandished a sword at us, at most he has wounded people out of self-defense, and I believe you can also see that those who were wounded have been sent to the doctor.
In other words, I don't want to treat you as enemies, I know that you are just being treated unfairly, you can't live, you can't eat enough, you just have to take up weapons and rebel.
But today I am here, so that you will not be hungry anymore, and I will provide you with food, so as to ensure that everyone is fed and clothed! But! Chen Fei suddenly aggravated his tone: "I need everyone to put down the weapons in their hands!" As long as you lay down your arms and no longer be enemies of the court, I can guarantee the safety of the big guys, and I can also ensure that the big guys have food! Please believe me, don't be an enemy of the imperial court anymore, it's not too late to rein in the precipice! ”
The refugees looked at each other. To be honest, they have been hiding in the mountains outside the city during this time, and although they have stolen a lot of food from the government, they still can't eat enough, and they have no clothes to wear, and they endure the cold every day.
Chen Fei's promise of food and clothing, and ensuring the safety of their lives was still a little tempting, and many people were moved until they heard it, and gradually let go of their hands and put down their weapons......
"Sober me up!" Suddenly, one of the refugees shouted: "You don't know what virtues the officials of the imperial court are?" We are lambs to the slaughter, we must not listen to him and lay down our arms, otherwise we will die even worse, it is better to take up arms and fight him to a good time! ”
This man's shout was immediately recognized by many people, and some people coaxed: "Yes! It's not as good as **** mother! Brothers, never surrender! Let's fight to the end! ”
The people who were originally shaken also strengthened their determination and shouted together: "Fight to the end!" Fight to the end! ”
Damn it! I know it's not that easy! Chen Fei frowned deeply.......
