Chapter 34 Xinzhou
Bunker up!
Chen Xu said secretly.
Ma Yi is also a high-ranking general in the forbidden army, and this Lin Xianfeng didn't give any face at all.
The general, known as Lin Xianxian, snorted, jumped off his horse, and walked straight in the direction of the group of rebels. When the bound rebels saw him coming, they lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.
The pioneer surnamed Lin didn't say a word, and everyone didn't move, standing aside to see what he was going to do.
Lin Xianfeng suddenly pulled out a long sword from his waist, raised the sword and walked over, and the group of rebels timidly took a few steps back.
"Poof", let out a miserable scream, this group of rebels was so frightened that their faces turned pale all of a sudden, it turned out that Lin Xianfeng stabbed a rebel to death without saying a word.
did not stop, Lin Xianfeng continued to ignore the bitter pleading and complaining of the rebels, one sword at a time, and most of the rebels died in a moment. Seeing Lin Xianxian's iron heart, knowing that it was useless to beg him, he "plopped", and one of the remaining rebels knelt down first, "General Ma, we know it's wrong!" ”
Lin Xianxian's face turned dark.
His chest was covered with blood, and he was carrying a sword that was still bloody, and when he went up, he slashed it with a sword, and spat out: "Phew! Greedy and lustful nest soft bones! The sergeant kneeling on the ground screamed "Ahhh
After killing this person, he walked towards the next sergeant, although this group of rebels did not abide by military discipline, but they had killed people on the battlefield, and they would die today, although the sergeant's face was pale, but his eyes were round, and he scolded: "Lin Zhaoyuan, you murderous thief, you must not die well...... Yes! ”
It turned out that the pioneer surnamed Lin was named Lin Zhaoyuan. The name Lin Zhaoyuan can be said to be famous in the army, although Chen Xu is only a low-level officer in the Wei army, but he is also a martial arts sergeant, so he has naturally heard of it. The first fierce general of the Wei State, he has been following since the time of Taizu, and he is regarded as the senior general of the veteran-level forbidden army of the Wei State. No wonder he doesn't take Ma Yi seriously.
At this time, Lin Zhaoyuan grabbed the hair of the scolding sergeant, and slashed at his neck with a sword, blood splashed, and the person fell to the ground, not dying all at once, and his limbs twitched.
In this way, this group of rebels was killed by Lin Zhaoyuan one by one. Everyone watched Lin Zhaoyuan one by one, and killed more than a dozen rebels in a row, but no one stopped or dissuaded them.
Chen Xu didn't have a good impression of this kind of bullying women and snatching civilian property, but he didn't have any compassion.
Lin Zhaoyuan threw the blood sword on the ground, and one of the guards among the horsemen on the side quickly picked up the blood sword, picked it up and wiped it.
At this time, he walked to the war horse, held the reins, and sneered at Ma Yi: "General Ma, are you satisfied with my punishment?"
The matter has come to this point, Ma Yi has something to say, so he has to hug his fists and say: "General Lin, there will be a period later, let's meet in Xinzhou."
When Lin Zhaoyuan and his party left, Ma Yi ordered: "Bury the people."
He lingered beside the village for a while, and the women who had been taken were sent back and the goods returned to the villages.
Wait for about noon when the sun rises high. Ma Yi ordered all the troops to continue on the road, and when they arrived at this boundary, they were not far from Xinzhou, and now they marched as soon as possible, just having lunch in Xinzhou.
Sure enough, when it was noon, I happened to see a slightly large-scale city standing in front of me, if nothing else, it should be Xinzhou City.
The gate of Xinzhou City was closed, and there were garrisons on the city wall, Ma Yi sent people to negotiate with the soldiers on the city wall, and then hung the voucher with a hanging basket, which allowed the Xinzhou defenders to open the city gate, and the infantry army and horse army drove into the city one after another.
Compared with military towns and metropolises such as Daliang Mansion and Jinyang City, this Xinzhou City is not very large, and it may be due to the war, the windows and doors of the houses are closed, there is no civilian traffic, and the streets are relatively depressed. It's just that there are queues of troops and horses on the central crossroads from time to time, and there are also people and horses stationed at the city gate, and it seems that there are a lot of troops stationed in this city.
"How many people are there in Xinzhou City?" One of Ma Yi's subordinate generals opened his mouth to ask about it.
Ma Yi said: "There are more than 10,000 people controlled by King Wei, plus a few thousand people who surrendered from Xinzhou, there are about 20,000 people."
"You let the soldiers rest here, and I will go to the Chinese army to see King Wei first." Ma Yi continued.
The group found a place to sit in an open space at the city gate, some of them ate dry food and drank water to satisfy their hunger, and some of them brought fodder and other food to feed the war horses. Chen Xu and the others inspected the wear and tear of the horseshoe of the war horse.
There are a lot of people in Xinzhou, but there is no atmosphere of the mountain rain about to start the war, but it seems very quiet. Compared with Jinyang, which has now been reduced to a meat grinder, Xinzhou City is a rare scene of peace at this time.
After noon, everyone had finished their dry food.
Before he could repair it, the north gate opened, and suddenly two horsemen galloped in, and the city gate was hurriedly closed.
Not long after, there was a "dong dong" war drum on the city tower, and the soldiers around Chen Xu stood up and looked around, but they could only see the Wei soldiers walking on the city wall, and they didn't know what was going on.
At this time, a general in the army said loudly: "I'll go to Beicheng to have a look, you guys and straighten out the people, and wait for the general to come back."
Several other generals responded to the "promise" one after another.
But not much.
The drums at the head of the city sounded loudly, as if the military situation was very urgent, and the city continued to send groups of troops to the city, and the atmosphere was very urgent and depressing for a while.
But the sergeants present were all soldiers who had killed people on the battlefield, and they were still sitting still, when the sound of everyone talking began to be heard in the army.
"Except for Jinyang, the Northern Han army is still desperately resisting, and the other armies have all surrendered, and this time it should only be the Rouran soldiers." One will be the school road.
Another general said: "The Rouran people are not good at attacking the city, and according to the previous information, the Rouran soldiers and horses are only thousands, how can they attack the city?"
"Don't say thousands, it's tens of thousands of horsemen, there are no siege equipment, and the people of Rouran don't know when they will be able to capture Xinzhou City!" That's when someone said.
Since the Rouran people occupied the sixteen states of Youyun and marched into the land of Hebei, they were not just nomads, but transformed into a model of semi-herding and half-farming. They are also learning the culture of the Central Plains, but they do not pay much attention to the siege of the city. That's why the generals said that.
This time, the Rouran people are here to rescue the Northern Han Dynasty, if they don't pull out Xinzhou, how can they save Jinyang, and how can the road to Jinyang be safe?
Therefore, when the Emperor of Wei heard the military report, a large number of Rouran military horses appeared, and the news that Xinzhou was short of men and horses, so he sent Ma Yi to lead the army to support.
