Chapter 82: The Reason for the Siege
The accommodation that Chen Jiabao arranged for Luo Chuan and them was not bad, and a two-story wooden building was specially vacated for a few people. Luo Chuan, www.biquge.info pen "Fun" pavilion, slept hastily for an hour, and then got up from the room. Pushing open the door, the sky had not yet turned bright, and there was another knock on the door of Yuguo and Yunchen.
The two of them slept very lightly, and after hearing a knock on the door, there was movement in the room. "Squeak!" The door opened, and the two of them were already dressed and appeared in front of Luo Chuan. "Go to the fort and be quiet, the warriors are too tired."
Chenjiabao is not very large, and not far from the attic, you can see many ragged refugees, who fall asleep on the side of the road and in their clothes. Chen Shuran is not bad, most of these people are old and weak, as well as orphans and widows.
The night breeze was cold, so these people leaned together in groups to keep warm from each other, and the young children were tightly guarded by the adults. The cold night was not felt by the child, and a red and smiling face with a smile seemed to dream of something beautiful. Maybe it's a dream that his parents are giggling with him, maybe it's the small family cooking delicious food, maybe it's the festival everyone's happy run...
Luo Chuan stood aside, watching the child's smile and laughing stupidly. The fish is like two benchmarks, standing quietly behind.
There was another eager gust of wind, and it was cool and took away the heat from the adults. The outermost woman, her brows furrowed, shivered, and the person woke up.
His eyes were slightly open, and he saw the three people in front of him at a glance, especially the image of Yu Guo was the most conspicuous. The woman screamed loudly. This call suddenly woke up the sleeping crowd one after another.
Luo Chuan's reaction was also fast, "This lady, don't panic, we're just passing by." Luo Chuan's explanation did not let the crowd relax, and the women protected the children behind them, holding wooden sticks and all kinds of things they could grasp to surround Luo Chuan.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, we are deserted summer soldiers, and we are here to rescue everyone in Chenjiabao." These people naturally did not pose any threat to Luo Chuan and the others, but they naturally could not be violent against the fellow Xia people.
"The old man is presumptuous, the old man has been doing business in Xiguan and other places for many years, and he has never heard of the name of the Huangxia Army. Where are you stationed? Have you ever known Lord Cao, the head of the Xiguan Army? The old gentleman was also followed by two young men, and everyone paid attention to them as he spoke, and he should have some fame among these people.
Facing the old man's somewhat expectant gaze, Luo Chuan did not mean to hide it, "The garrison of our army is not in the east, but in the west. As for what the old gentleman said, Lord Xiguan Cao naturally didn't recognize it. ”
"West? Aren't there mountains to the west? By the way, there is a deserted place in the depths of the mountain, are you from Jingxia? "The old gentleman is not only highly respected, but also knowledgeable. It is said that knowing the abandoned land is the same thing, and knowing that the abandoned land is the former Jingxia is really rare.
"Exactly!" Luo Chuan smiled and nodded in affirmation.
"Ah, three military masters, for the sake of the same ancestor hundreds of years ago, save us!" The old gentleman was surprisingly difficult, and suddenly knelt down to stop Luo Chuan in a hurry. Just as he wanted to help the old gentleman, the rest of the old and weak women and children knelt down again.
"Sir, please get up quickly, we are here this time to rescue everyone." It was not easy for Luo Chuan to get these crowds of people who knelt down at every turn.
"Several generals are righteous, and the Hu people are ferocious and involved in killing, your army should be careful." The old man didn't doubt Luo Chuan's strength, but now he regarded Luo Chuan and them as a lifesaver, out of a kind reminder.
"Everyone can rest assured, our army is a heavenly army, and the Hu people are just local chickens and dogs." Looking at the other party's infinite expectant eyes, Luo Chuan had to say a big thing. Now that the training of recruits in the deserted summer is not finished, the armament is not complete, and the combat power is really a problem, and it is precisely the need to improve the combat power that the population needs to be replenished.
"By the way, our army is about to march to the Central Plains and conspire with General Ran to do great things. In order to prevent the Hu people from doing evil again, wait until the Hu cavalry is defeated, and please move to Huangxia. Luo Chuan finally said his purpose.
"What the general said is extremely true, if we hadn't all voted for General Ran, we wouldn't have been reduced to the point where we had no power to resist. It doesn't hurt to move to Beijing, everyone's fertile land has long been trampled and destroyed by the Hu people, and most of the houses in the family have been burned. It's convenient to be alone, but if there is no surplus food to help, these people are afraid that they will starve to death. The problem that the old man said was also worried by the people present, even if the Hu people destroyed it outside, as long as they could hold on until the Hu people retreated, there would still be more or less more food in those broken fields. But going to a strange place without help, these tens of thousands of people will face a very big crisis in survival.
"Don't worry, old man, Huang Xia has prepared enough food and enough shelter for everyone, just waiting for everyone to move." Luo Chuan didn't lie about this, even if he added another 100,000 people to the current Huangxia, he wouldn't feel a burden. And once these people are integrated into various departments, they can immediately produce enough benefits.
"The old man has thanked the general again..."This time Luo Chuan reacted quickly, and helped the old man without waiting for him to kneel.
"It will take three days for my army to come, and I will ask the old gentleman to lead everyone to rest in these three days." At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, don't pass the old man, and walk in the direction of the attic.
"Have you found any clouds? None of the sergeants came to the shouts, and no army was found to maintain law and order in the fortress, and the training and military arrangements for the sergeants in this fort were extremely poor. So why haven't the Hu people broken the city yet, and haven't even launched the siege? Luo Chuan's few questions also aroused the doubts of Yunchen Yuguo and the two of them.
The city wall is not to be seen, and the four-and-a-half-meter-high wall of the three-body structure of civil engineering and stone is naturally no better than the seven-meter stone wall of the inner city of Huangxia. On that day, less than 5,000 cavalry broke through, and the strength far surpassed that of Chenjiabao's Huangxia Inner City.
"There aren't many of them! Fear of losses in the siege. Yunchen was the first to speak.
"No, there were thousands of Rangers when we broke through last night. Plus a night rest, and cavalry on other sides. Even if the number of people is not too many, it is far more than the number of people who besieged Huangxia at that time. They must have had other purposes for not besieging the city. Luo Chuan's analysis surprised Luo Chuan, and he said everything to the point.
A few people tried to break their heads and didn't understand the reason why the Hu people didn't attack the city, but this is also a good thing, otherwise the people here wouldn't be able to wait for Luo Chuan and them to enter the fortress.
Hu Ren is not to attack the city Chen Ran is worth being happy about, but it is not Luo Chuan's character to take the initiative in the hands of others, and today he has to find out how many people there are on the other side, so that Huang Xia can send troops.
In the big tent of the Hu people, a big man wearing gold and silver on his head was furious. "Waste, waste, it's all waste, so that more than a dozen enemy cavalry killed people turn over on their backs."
"Report to the king, the humiliation we have suffered will be washed away by the blood of the Xia people today. The king ordered the siege of the city. "The Hu generals kneeling on the ground have a monstrous killing intent, and they have the appearance of not killing all the people in Chenjiabao and not giving up.
When Hu Ren heard the other party's words, he didn't like to be angry, and smashed the other party's head with a water cup in his hand. "You like to kill so much? Going to the Central Plains? Kill the Xia people here, what excuse do we use to shirk the military order of the headquarters to send troops to the Central Plains? How many people are there in the Fu clan? Thrown into that hell field in the Central Plains, how many people can still live? One by one, if you don't use your brain, you will know that you will kill and kill, and whoever is telling me about the siege in the future, I will let him attack alone. Get lost. ”
Luo Chuan didn't know that the reason why the Hu people, who they didn't figure out why they didn't attack the city, turned out to be from the general who supported the Great Xia in the Central Plains with his own strength.
