Chapter 63: Retreat
Jiang Hong looked at the captured Di Fang with a smile, turned three times on the left and three times on the right, and was amazed.
"Let go of me, what the hell are you going to do?" Dilton exclaimed.
"Hey, hey." Jiang Hong squatted down and laughed twice, and patted Di Fang's face, "Don't do anything, we just need you to cooperate with us." ”
Jiang Hong stood up, ignored Di Fang, turned his head and ordered the soldiers to hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and he was still busy for a while, and he caught a big fish, so he naturally had to make good use of it.
Ju County, there are constantly escaped yellow turbans returning to the city, and the news they get also makes the generals defending the city more and more cold, being ambushed, not knowing the battle situation, morale is close to collapse, defeated, the yellow turban generals know that this is probably the situation.
But I know that at night, there is an army of hundreds of people in the distance is walking towards Juxian, and when I get closer, the leader is actually Di Fang, and I keep talking with a few guards around me, and by the light of the fire, the general saw that the army behind Di Fang was dressed in tatters, and some people even lost the yellow scarf on their heads.
"Quickly open the door and let Young Master Ben enter the city." Di Fang shouted loudly under the city walls.
"Isn't your lord defeated? This.... The general guarding the city said with some hesitation.
"Defeated!!" Di Da scolded, "Lao Tzu led the army to fight back, that group of officers and soldiers has been solved, open the door quickly, and if you dare to stop it, Lao Tzu will cut off your head." ”
Di Fang looked domineering on the surface, but in fact, Di Fang was empty, several of the guards around him were Jiang Hong and others pretending not to mention, I don't know how many arrows in the army behind him were aimed at his heart, for the sake of his own life, Di Fang had to cooperate with Jiang Hong.
With a creaking sound, the city gate of Juxian City slowly opened, Jiang Hong remained silent, and it was not until he entered the city gate that the soldiers guarding the city realized that something was wrong.
Why are these yellow scarves who have lost the battle, all of them have big shoulders and round waists, their eyes are full of light, and the weapons in their hands are much better than those used in the yellow scarves, and the most important thing is that these soldiers have a bloodthirsty aura, which the yellow turbans do not have at all.
Before the yellow scarf could react, with Jiang Hong's order, the soldiers ripped off the remaining rags, revealing their fine armor, picked up the swords in their hands, and occupied the city gate with lightning speed.
The soldiers outside the city also rushed in, took off their disguises, rushed into the city gates, rushed to the city walls, and slaughtered, Jiang Hong led a team of men and horses to occupy the many treasury in the city, and the other team led by Xu Hao to clear the remaining yellow turbans in the city.
The inhabitants of the city heard the sound of fighting outside, and the windows and doors were closed, and some bold people looked out through the windows, and the city was full of fire, and the soldiers kept walking back and forth.
It wasn't until dawn that some residents opened the windows and doors and poked out, and the yellow scarves that were used as blessings and powers on weekdays were gone, and all of them were replaced by soldiers of the Han Dynasty, although the number of soldiers patrolling was scarce, but it gave the people a great surprise.
Jiang Hong also specially sent people to shout in the city that the Han army had recovered Juxian, and the yellow scarves in the city had been removed, and everyone was asked to rest assured and not to cause riots.
Jiang Hong sat in Di Fang's position, enjoying the service of Di Fang's maid, and listening to the statistical results of his subordinates.
According to a rough estimate of the grain and grass in the city, there should be about 10,000 stones, and as for the money, it has not yet been counted, and the armor is only a little. Most of them are not as good as the soldiers.
Yesterday, there were about 800 people killed in the Yellow Turbans, nearly 600 people were captured, and the rest should have fled Ju County, as for their own casualties, only about 400 people were left out of 500 people, and dozens of people were seriously injured, counting the minor injuries, the combat power that could be used was more than 300 people.
Jiang Hong knocked on the board, this city will definitely not be able to be defended, the troops have suffered heavy casualties, and they must withdraw to the East China Sea as soon as possible for repair, but what about money, food, and prisoners?
Jiang Hong thought for a while, the food is easy to handle, just distribute it to the hundred letters in the city, and the money will be accepted with a smile, as for the prisoners, if they are at the border, they can also be brought back, but now they are in the hinterland of the Yellow Turban, it is not easy to handle, it is not easy to handle.
However, there is Mu Shui on the edge of Ju County, you can think of a way on this, these 600 captives, but 600 young and strong, En~~ can not be regarded as strong, can only be regarded as green, just as Jiang Hong was pondering, Xu Hao led a person in.
"Your Excellency." Xu Hao shouted quietly.
"Well, what's the matter?" Jiang Hong raised his head and asked.
"This, this, the villain has something to ask for." Xu Hao said with some embarrassment.
"Oh?" Jiang Hong saw Xu Hao's embarrassed face, so he quipped, "It won't be the girl you fell in love with, no problem, I'll be a matchmaker for you." ”
"No, no, no." Xu Hao hurriedly waved his hand to deny it.
"That's right, I have a distant cousin in Ju County, I want to visit, but it turns out that my cousin died in the war, leaving only orphans and widows at home, I want to bring this mother and son back, and take care of their mother and son for my dead cousin." Xu Hao explained.
"No problem, you can handle this yourself, is there anything else?" Jiang Hong said.
"It's gone, it's gone." Xu Hao touched his head embarrassedly and retreated.
Jiang Hong didn't take this matter to heart, what he was thinking about now was how to evacuate Juxian, these dozens of seriously injured numbers would greatly slow down the speed of the march, and those prisoners, some were reluctant, so it was better to go south by boat.
But before, the subordinates said that there were not many boats they could collect outside the city, and they could only take their own soldiers, and these 600 captives were like chicken ribs for Jiang Hong, and it was a pity to abandon them without meat.
If you really can't do it, you can kill it, but it's a pity, it's really a pity, it's reluctant, Jiang Hong is struggling with his greed in pain.
Jiang Hong is 600 people behind, not bad, not bad at all, just because of this Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people who moved south, Sheyang absorbed a small half, just this small half, it is enough for Jiang Hong to pull out an army of thousands of people, but people will always have an extraordinary obsession with some small cheapness, Jiang Hong is now caught in such an obsession.
In addition to sending people to continue collecting boats, Jiang Hong didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only put aside this matter for the time being, distribute the grain to the people in the city first, rest for a day, and then evacuate.
In the end, Jiang Hong, who was in a hurry, made many rafts and hung them behind the boat, the raft could not be overturned, and how many people could be brought back could only be left to fate.
Fortunately, there was no water army in the Yellow Turban, and what was even more terrifying was that there were no people to guard the water, so Jiang Hong went down the river and overturned two rafts halfway, and there were no casualties other than that.
In this way, Jiang Hong evacuated the hinterland of the Yellow Turban almost unscathed, almost unscathed, and returned to Donghai County.
