Chapter 1344: Suzhou Thief
The rain is still falling in Jinling City, and it is gradually getting heavier.
When it was almost noon, the rebellion of Li An, the king of Huainan, spread in Jinling City.
When the people of Jinling City heard this, they were shocked.
"How can it be like this, it's almost the New Year, how did this happen?"
"Alas, who says it isn't, I don't know if this year is good or not, now that the city gates are closed, we can't go out to buy something, right?"
"It's definitely not possible, I'm afraid that the prices in Jinling City will rise again......"
In the matter of rebellion, the people don't care whether it's right or wrong, they only care about whether they can have a good year, whether prices are going to rise, and what their days will become.
The people were originally concerned about nothing more than these things.
Fighting a war is a matter for the court and the rebels.
And while the people were talking like this, the 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed outside the city of Huainan finally rushed over.
They were a little slower than expected, probably because of the rain.
After the arrival of the soldiers and horses, the complexion of the king of Huainan suddenly became stronger.
He looked up at Qin Tian on the city tower again, and smiled: "I have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, can't I capture your Jinling City?" ”
Qin Tian shrugged: "You can try." ”
King Huainan snorted, and then shouted, "Siege." ”
He was so angry now that he couldn't wait to kill Qin Tian.
And just after he gave the order, the rebels behind him rushed up frantically.
Qin Tian stood on the city tower, just showing a light smile, and then, the sharp arrows fired by the Tang Divine Crossbow and Zhuge Repeater flew from the city tower.
Although the number of the mad demon army is not as good as that of King Huainan's soldiers and horses, whether it is the Tang Divine Crossbow or the Zhuge Repeater, the speed and the number of shots at one time are several times that of others.
In this way, the soldiers and horses of the two sides will fight, and on the side of the Tang army, it is equivalent to more than 10,000 archers firing, and the archers of the king of Huainan are only a few thousand.
In this regard, Qin Tian's sharp arrow was to crush the king of Huainan.
Therefore, the sharp arrows at the beginning suppressed several rounds of rebel sieges.
And just when Qin Tian suppressed the rebels with sharp arrows, the heavy rain was getting heavier and heavier, and at the end of the year, the heavy rain was surprisingly cold, smashing on people's faces, cold and painful.
The rebels attacked the city, and they couldn't even open their eyes.
In this way, it will be more difficult for them to attack.
The two sides fought like this, and the rebels became more and more unbearable.
Seeing this situation, King Huainan's eyes were filled with strong resentment.
"Lord Wang, today's weather is really bad, the siege is not good for us, and if we continue to attack, our army's casualties will be even more heavy, or we should retreat first, and then attack the city after the rain stops."
After analyzing the situation, a strategist came to comfort the king of Huainan, but the king of Huainan had a deep grudge against Qin Tian, and did not give up the siege because of his adviser's words, he even glared at the strategist and scolded: "Give me the siege of the city, whoever says that the army will retreat, this king will cut him." ”
The strategist touched his neck in fright, and hurriedly retreated, not daring to persuade again.
The two sides kept fighting, the rebels did not occupy any advantage, one after another the rebels were killed, and the corpses were soon scattered all over the city of Jinling.
Blood stained the walls, and soon they were washed away by the rain.
Unconsciously, the sky darkened, but the rebels still failed to capture Jinling City, and even their losses were getting bigger and bigger.
Qin Tian stood on the city tower, looking very unbeaten.
"King Huainan, if you have the ability, you can attack it, and if you have the ability, you can come over......"
Qin Tian said, he couldn't help laughing again, and the king of Huainan under the city was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"Rush me, rush ...... me"
Seeing that the King of Huainan had no intention of retreating, and still continued to attack the city, Qin Tian was overjoyed, the reason why he said those words to anger the King of Huainan was to take advantage of today's favorable time and place to severely weaken the soldiers and horses of the King of Huainan.
Otherwise, when his other reinforcements arrive, I am afraid that the situation will not be good.
And judging from the current situation, King Huainan was obviously fooled, he was enraged, and he was so angry that he wanted to break the net with Qin Tianyu.
The rain had not stopped, and the rebels were a little depressed and did not want to continue the siege.
If they attack it, they will die, and they will attack Mao?
King Huainan obviously sensed this decadent morale as well, and his heart sank suddenly, as if he had realized something at that moment.
If he continues to attack like this, his strength will have to be greatly weakened.
After understanding, the king of Huainan did not hesitate any longer, and hurriedly shouted: 'Retreat, retreat......
When the rebels heard this, they all showed some excitement, and then they scrambled to retreat.
Seeing this situation, Qin Tian pursed his lips, he has beaten the rebels enough today, and with the soldiers and horses of the King of Huainan now, he will definitely not attack the city.
If he attacks the city again, he may have to wait for his own reinforcements to arrive.
Here in Jinling City, it can be calm for a few days for the time being.
----------------------
On the way from Chang'an to Jinling City, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu and others knew that the situation in Jinling City was more urgent, so they did not dare to delay in the slightest.
However, the march of 30,000 men, no matter how fast it was, could not go that fast.
After walking like this for a long time, they came to the boundary of Suzhou.
The boundary of Suzhou is very close to Huainan, at noon this day, there was a heavy snowfall in Suzhou, the road is difficult to travel, although they are in a hurry, but there is no way, they can only find a place to camp, and wait for the snow to stop.
Everyone paused, Cheng Chumo and the others didn't really want to eat those things in the barracks, so as soon as a few people discussed, they arranged for soldiers and horses, and then they rode to the nearby villages.
In comparison, the food of some of the people in the village was better than the food they ate on the march.
There is a village nearby, and from a distance, the village is snow-white, and the occasional smoke from the cooking stove makes the whole scene look like a painting.
"Let's go there and find some delicious food to eat, I heard that the people here will make a kind of meat, and it tastes delicious."
Cheng Chu said silently, and couldn't help but drool, Qin Huaiyu and Yu Chi Baolin also moved their index fingers after hearing this, so they didn't hesitate, kicked the horse's belly fiercely, and then rushed to the village in the wind and snow.
After a while, they came to the front of the village, which was not large, called Gejia Village, and there was a plaque at the head of the village, but half of it was dilapidated, and it was full of snow at this time.
On the streets of the village, a few children braved the cold and frolicked wildly in the snow.
"Hey, kid......"
Cheng Chumo shouted, wanting to inquire about the news, but after he shouted like this, those children immediately cried in fright.
"The thief is coming......"
