Chapter 68: Reinforcements to Xiongzhou
At the same time, Wu Ji and the others were having a heated debate about their conversion.
"No matter how difficult we are, Xiongzhou must be saved, must be saved!" Mrs. Zheng rarely screamed like this, hysterical madness, and the green tendons on his neck burst out like old tree branches.
His words were impassioned and inspiring, however, Wu Ji, Huangfu Song, and Qi Dabao looked at him, and no one spoke, and their meaning could not be more clear.
"Hey!" Mrs. Zheng was so distressed that several more strands of hair appeared in her left hand, which was holding her hair.
"Lord Zheng, it's not that we don't want to save it, but where to save it? There are no soldiers. Huangfu Song spread his hands and was helpless: "We only have more than 300 people, even if we tear it in half, half of it is counted as one person, and it is only six or seven hundred people." Six or seven hundred troops, fighting with tens of thousands of troops, Liao Gou can pluck a single hair, and he can smash us to death. ”
The disparity in strength is too great, and if you go for reinforcements, this will inevitably be the result.
"If I can wait a few days, I can gather some more heroes, and it is still possible to gather three or five hundred people." Qi Dabao couldn't help knocking on his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "The Liao army has entered the city, after three or five days, can Xiongzhou support it?" ”
No one knows this question, not even Zhou Wei, let alone Wu Ji and them.
"If we don't save it, the official family won't punish the crime, right?" Huangfu Song thought for a long time, and then said weakly: "It's not that we don't want to save, but our strength is not good, rather than dying more and it is useless, it is better not to save and live a few more people." ”
"If we sit idly by, the officials will not punish the crime." Mrs. Zheng was very sure: "It's not that we don't want to save, it's that our strength is not enough, and the official family must know our hardships." ”
"Then we won't save it, just guard the city of conversion." Huangfu Song let out a long sigh and said a very contradictory sentence: "However, the only one who can reinforce Xiongzhou is us, if we sit idly by, will we feel guilty?" ”
"I don't want to sleep peacefully for the rest of my life!" Qi Da couldn't help but slap his cold face.
"Commander Wu, why don't you say a word? Save it or not, you give a word! Huangfu Song looked at Wu Ji, who had not spoken, and saw that Wu Ji fell into deep thought.
"Don't talk!" Mrs. Zheng knew Wu Ji, and Wu Ji was pondering, and he must have thought of something.
Huangfu Song hurriedly covered his mouth, Qi Dabao's eyes widened, looked at Wu Ji, didn't say a word, and even suppressed his breathing very slightly, for fear of making a noise and interrupting Wu Ji's thoughts.
There was no sound except for the howling cold wind, and time passed silently. I don't know how long it took, Wu Ji finally came to his senses, and only said one word: "Help!" ”
Save, one word, but it is full of faith. For Mrs. Zheng at this time, it was tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, which made them extremely excited.
"Commander Wu, but our troops are ......" Huangfu Song was about to say that the troops were too small, but he waved to Wu Ji to stop him.
Wu Ji glanced at the three of them, and then said, "What is the biggest advantage of the thunderbolt?" ”
As soon as the thunderbolt was mentioned, the three of them were in high spirits and hurriedly said: "Of course it is powerful, it can kill several people at once." ”
"Wrong!" Wu Ji rejected their statement and analyzed: "The biggest advantage of thunderbolts is not that they are powerful and can kill many people at once, but that they are easy to use and will not be subject to too many constraints. Battlefield rush killing, you need elite soldiers, and elite soldiers need to be young and strong, need strict training, and let them be familiar with sword techniques and battle formations. There is no such restriction at all when using thunderbolts, as long as you can throw them near the enemy, you will be considered successful. ”
When he said this, the people remembered the war of conversion, and it was true. If it weren't for the ease of use of the thunderbolts, they wouldn't have won so quickly, because there were quite a few people throwing them.
"Yes, thunderballs are such a good thing, just think about the flesh and blood of the Liao dog, I want to float three hundred cups." Huangfu Song and Qi Da couldn't help but praise the thunderbolt.
But Mrs. Zheng understood Wu Ji's thoughts, and was overjoyed: "Commander Wu, according to what you say, we will pull out thousands of people when we convert?" ”
"Thousands of people? Master Zheng, don't talk nonsense. Huangfu Song and Qi Dabao questioned in unison.
There are only a little more than 300 people, where will there be thousands of people. If there are thousands of people, do they still need to worry about whether to save or not to save here? directly picked up the people and rushed to Xiongzhou.
"Hey, hey!" Mrs. Zheng smiled a little sly, a little sinister, wrenched her fingers, and began to settle the account: "Commander Wu means that as long as you can use thunderbolts, regardless of men and women, you can go to the battlefield, you calculate, how many people are here?" The heroes of the Returning Army and the Qiyun Society, adding up to a little more than 300, is a little less. There are still four or five hundred Ding Zhuang, and the total is only seven or eight hundred, with this little number of people, it is impossible to relieve the siege of Xiongzhou. ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Zheng was a little proud, and smiled even more happily: "However, no matter how small the city of return is, there are thousands of people, will there be fewer people who can use thunderbolts?" Of the more than 1,000 dependents of the converted army, seven or eight hundred people could use thunderbolts, and the people in the city could use 1,300,400 people. Coupled with the craftsmen of the Wu military industry, we will not have any problem with gathering 3,000 people. ”
He calculated this account in detail, Huangfu Song and Qi Dabao were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed, and couldn't help jumping up: "With three thousand people, we can kill Benxiongzhou!" With Thunderbolt, we may not be able to succeed in relieving the siege of Xiongzhou! It's done! ”
Huangfu Song frowned, and immediately asked, "But, what about the city of conversion?" ”
"It's okay to be converted." Wu Ji frowned, stood up and said, "If Xiongzhou is lost, we will keep the faith and become meaningless." However, if Xiongzhou can be preserved, the city of faith can be useful. In order to keep Xiongju, we will be converted to go out of the nest, and all those who can use thunderbolts, regardless of gender, will go into battle! ”
"As for conversion, leave it to the old and the weak. It's good to be able to keep it, but it's nothing if you can't keep it. As long as Xiongzhou is here, even if the conversion is lost ten times, it is worth it. Mrs. Zheng took it.
The four of them agreed to act separately, Wu Ji summoned the people of the Wu military industry, briefly explained the situation in Xiongzhou, and said: "Now, Xiongzhou is in danger, and we have to go to the rescue." Although we have thunderbolts, there are too few people who can fight, it is extremely dangerous, life and death are unpredictable, and if you don't want to go, I won't force it, you can not go. ”
Although the thunderbolt is powerful and easy to use, after all, the number of people is too small, even if there are 3,000 people, compared with tens of thousands of troops, it is still more than lucky. You look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.
"Wu Lang, I must go!" Yang Xiuxiu was the first to speak, her voice was not loud, but she was extremely resolute: "If you want to die, we will also die together!" ”
Wu Ji knew her, don't see that she is not very old, once she makes a mistake, even the nine cows will not be able to pull it back, so he has to agree: "Don't be strong." ”
"Hmm!" Yang Xiuxiu didn't speak, just nodded.
"Ji'er, the third uncle went with you." Wu Qing immediately responded.
"We don't have a bad seed in Wujiazhuang, I'm going!" The people of Wujiazhuang responded in unison.
"I'll go!" Qiao Dayuan, Li Bofu and others also responded.
"My father and grandparents hated Liaogou so much, and we couldn't miss the opportunity to avenge them." The people of the Wu military industry all expressed their position.
Looking at the simple and eager faces, Wu Ji sighed with emotion, with such a popular heart, the Song Dynasty couldn't beat the Liao State, and it pressed the Liao State for hundreds of years, which is really an anomaly. Think about the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, the same nation, how strong it was, all countries came to the court, and the countries tied their hands, which made people nostalgic.
"Get out all the thunderbolts!" Wu Ji ordered loudly.
Wu Qing led people to take out the thunderbolts, and there were about 17,800 more. Wu Ji led people and rushed to meet Mrs. Zheng and them. At this time, Mrs. Zheng had gathered more than 1,000 people, both men and women, and everyone was excited, shouting loudly that the Liao people were not, scolding the Liao people, and shouting for revenge.
Qi Dabao walked over quickly and asked, "Commander Wu, how many thunderbolts do you have?" I only have more than 4,000 here. ”
"I have 178,000 here, which adds up to 21,000, which is enough." With so many thunderbolts, this reinforcement is even more assured.
"That's good!" Qi Da Baoda is assured. The key to this reinforcement is whether there are enough thunderbolts, and if there are not enough thunderbolts, the reinforcements will become death. There are a little more than 20,000 thunderbolts, which are enough to kill many Liao troops.
Mrs. Zheng hurried over and said, "Time is pressing, let's set off first, and arrange as we go." ”
Xiongzhou is in danger, even a quarter of an hour is precious, and it must not be put aside. Wu Ji nodded in agreement, and with an order, more than 3,000 reinforcements, riding war horses, rushed to Xiongzhou.
There are a lot of people who can't ride horses, and it doesn't matter, they are tied to their horses with ropes, so that the march is faster and there is no damage.
Men and women are a miscellaneous reinforcement that can no longer be miscellaneous, but they are related to the safety of Xiongzhou, the Central Plains, and the Song Dynasty.
No one would have thought that such an important mission would be tied to such a ragtag army.
Those who remain and convert to faith are either old or young, and the old ones are trembling when they walk, their teeth are gone, and their hair is falling out. The small ones are difficult to even walk. However, they looked at the ragtag army that drove out of the city, and there was no sadness, more encouragement, asking them to kill more enemies, and they must kill more Liao dogs.
This farewell, maybe there is no goodbye period, no one cries, there is no sorrow of life and death, some are just heroic. A ragtag army rarely seen in history, but it has a heroic spirit that is no less than the elite, which can be called a surprise.
Looking at the parting scene, Wu Ji thought of a word: "Unstoppable!" We are going to Xiongzhou, that is, we are moving forward! ”
"That's right! Indomitable! Zheng Tai agreed loudly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Throughout the ages, in thousands of years of Chinese history, has there been such reinforcements?" No! We are unique! We're going to keep going! ”
"Unstoppable!"
"Unstoppable!"
A terrifying roar sounded, and a ragtag army quickly rushed towards the city of Xiongzhou.
