Chapter 223: Preparing to abandon the city and break out

On the city wall of the county seat of Qixian County, thanks to Liu Meng following Liu Hao and Liu Tie, otherwise Liu Hao and Liu Tie might have died on the city wall, and this battle against the Liukou can be described as tragic and abnormal. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Hao sat directly on the ground of the city wall according to the battlements, sighed and said to Liu Tie: "Lao Tie, how many days has it been since the Liukou attacked the city?" ”

"Master, if you get through it today, it's already the eleventh day, and seeing that the sky is about to darken, I wonder if the Liukou will not attack the city again today."

Then Liu Tie lowered his voice and said: "Master, there are too many of these gangsters, there are almost 20,000 rogues who have died in the siege of the city these days, but looking at the posture of this gang of rogues, they are ready not to break Qi County's vow not to give up!" Sir, we have to plan ahead! ”

Liu Hao nodded solemnly, the county seat of Qi County is not small, with a population of about 100,000, and the official army in the hands of the county commander Wang Ji is about 6,000 people, and the young and strong men who can be mobilized to help defend the city are at least more than 30,000.

It stands to reason that the defending side has such strength, even in the face of 70,000 or 80,000 rogues, the county seat of Qixian County should be able to defend it, but the reality is not the case.

Although the rogue has lost more than 20,000 people in the siege battle these days, it has almost brought 15,000 losses to the Qi County side, especially the officers and troops of Qi County have suffered heavy losses, and now the officers and troops on the four walls may not even have 2,000 people.

The loss of tens of thousands of young and strong men in the county seat of Qi County has made the remaining young and strong people demoralized, and the reinforcements promised by the county commander Wang Ji have been delayed, and the situation in the county seat of Qi County has become more and more dangerous.

The people that Liu Hao brought to the city wall from his own mansion are now only Liu Hao, Liu Tie and Liu Meng, and the other four young and strong male servants have all died on the city wall, three of them died at the hands of the rogue soldiers, and one person was frightened by the fierce rogue and wanted to escape from the city wall, but was beheaded by the officers and soldiers who supervised the war.

Liu Hao immediately lowered his voice and said to Liu Tie: "Lao Tie, I think the county seat of Qi County should not last long, after dark tonight, the two of us and the fierce son will find a way to slip down the city wall, go to pick up Niuniu, and then find a place to hide, once the county seat of Qi County is broken by the Liukou, we will take advantage of the chaos to go out of the city and go to Chengyin County in Gui'an County of Qianzhou to meet Liu Ji." ”

Liu Tie glanced at Liu Meng, who was eating bread next to him, nodded and said: "If it is only me and the master, if we want to escape from the city when the city is broken, it will be difficult to escape from the city while the chaos is broken, but with Mengzi, we have at least thirty percent chance, so let's do what the master said!" ”

At this time, a general wearing iron armor came over, and then sat down beside Liu Hao, and said to Liu Hao in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, my father asked me to inform you that before the time tonight, take Niuniu to the North City Gate to gather, and the people of the various families in the city tonight, as well as the remaining defenders, will break through from the North City Gate at the time of the day!" Brother-in-law, I have already agreed with the captain in charge of the east city wall, I will send you down the city wall immediately, you should hurry home and get ready, and try to bring as few things as possible. ”

After finishing speaking, the defending general also swept Liu Meng, who was eating bread next to him, with his eyes.

This defender general is Chen Yan, the second young master of the Chen family, Liu Hao heard Chen Yan's words, and immediately showed a look of shock, although Liu Hao also felt that it was impossible to hold the county seat of Qi County, but there were still nearly 20,000 young and strong men in the city, and they could hold on for a while, why did they start to organize a breakthrough now?

Liu Hao hurriedly asked in a low voice, "What about the people in the city?" ”

Chen Yan said with a gloomy face: "Wang Ji County Commander has decided to give up the people in the city, they can only resign themselves to fate, brother-in-law, you should hurry up and follow me down the city wall!" ”

Liu Hao opened his mouth and didn't say anything more, after all, at this time, being able to save his family's lives is the most important thing, and with Liu Hao's ability, he has no way to save the people of this city.

Next, Liu Hao greeted Liu Tie and Liu Meng, and followed Chen Yan down the east city wall of Qixian County, at this time, behind the city wall, there were a large number of corpses of officers and soldiers and young men, Liu Hao looked at the piles of corpses, sighed helplessly, and took Liu Tie and Liu Meng, and hurried to his house in the west of the city.

Chen Yan took Liu Hao and the others off the city wall, and then returned to the Chen family's compound in the city, and then Chen Yan came to a study, where Chen Min, the head of the Chen family, and Chen Qi, the eldest young master of the Chen family, were here.

When Chen Min saw Chen Yan, he immediately asked, "Did you tell Liu Hao the news of the breakthrough tonight?" ”

Chen Yan nodded and said, "Father, I have already told my brother-in-law, and I personally sent my brother-in-law, Liu Tie, and Liu Meng off the city wall. ”

Chen Min said in a deep voice: "That thin boy named Liu Meng is definitely a fierce general with the courage of ten thousand people, if there is this Liu Meng by our side tonight, our Chen family will have a greater chance of success in breaking through." ”

Chen Qi sighed and said: "I didn't expect that Liu Hao's brother-in-law's family would have such a fierce general, but unfortunately such a fierce general is not from our Chen family." ”

Chen Yan frowned slightly and said, "Big brother, Liu Hao's brother-in-law is the son-in-law of our Chen family, and having such a fierce general under my brother-in-law is also beneficial to our Chen family." ”

Chen Qi nodded and said: "That's right, when we break through tonight, our Chen family will have to rely on Liu Meng, a fierce general!" ”

Chen Min said gloomily at this time: "I didn't expect that the foundation of our Chen family for hundreds of years was finally destroyed in the hands of the old man, alas-"

After Chen Qi and Chen Yan glanced at each other, Chen Qi immediately opened his mouth and comforted: "Father, millions of rogues in Anhui suddenly entered the territory of Yongzhou, I believe that not only Qi County, but many counties and counties in Yongzhou will suffer, such a disaster is not something we can prevent, father, don't blame yourself too much." ”

Chen Yan followed and said: "Father, as long as people are fine, our Chen family will come back eventually, our Chen family's land, Liukou can't move away, as long as there is a field, our Chen family's foundation will not be destroyed, and Liukou can't stay in Qi County forever!" ”

Chen Min waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, being a father is not so fragile, just sighing, just like the second child said, as long as the people of our Chen family have nothing to do, our Chen family will rise again." ”

Then Chen Min asked Chen Qi, "How are the preparations for the breakthrough tonight?" ”

Chen Qi said: "Father rest assured, everything is ready, for tonight's breakthrough, fourteen carriages with additional carriages have been prepared, and all the valuables have been loaded into the carriage, and the remaining places in the carriage can also bring some female dependents." ”
