Chapter 157: Battle

After Qiao Tianmu and Gangqiang led their respective men and horses to Nanwang County, the funeral procession returned to the city one after another, the tomb mountain is not very far from Donghai City, and it is only two miles away from the east city gate to the southeast, although it is a mountain road, but those dignitaries and nobles do not have carriages and sedan chairs, and they all take carriages back on the way back, but they suffer those subordinates and inferior soldiers.

After returning to the city, I arranged the notice of recruiting troops, set the date, and chose the address, and then went to the county government to ask him for a station, and Lao Yanfei assigned the north gate station to me, and asked me to be responsible for recruiting soldiers and guarding the north city gate.

The North Gate was barely damaged by the White Turbans' attack and did not need to be repaired, and I was actually very happy when I took over the North Gate with my conscripted sergeants, there was no need to waste my energy on repairing the city walls, and I was dedicated to welcoming the newly recruited sergeants and then training them to become real warriors.

Since the announcement of recruiting sergeants was issued in Donghai City, not only the young and middle-aged people in the city, but also many people outside the city came here, and these are not hungry refugees, they are actually unaffected people with swords and knives, which really surprised me, if it weren't for the fact that Qiao Tianmu once sent me a letter informing me that he would give me a big gift, I really didn't dare to let them in easily, there are hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged soldiers who can directly go to the battlefield to fight, if it is a bad intention, It can be turned upside down, in today's Donghai County.

The conscription army issued a notice to recruit soldiers, and the East China Sea garrison army also issued a notice to recruit sergeants, after I received the mercenaries from Wolf Mountain County, the garrison army also received a lot of mercenaries, I had secretly checked these mercenaries, and there were people from all over the country, and they all came to Donghai City together, the time really surprised me, it is said that the lord of the Taishou went to Longdu to send a notice for help, and I always felt unsteady in my heart.

A good news spread in Donghai City, after the lord of Taishou invited the king in Kyoto, he was finally going back to Donghai City, the specific time is unknown, and the route is still the same as going to Kyoto, returning to Donghai City from the territory of Wolf Mountain County.

A good news seems to have a bad news, the strong leadership of the East Navy to attack Nanwang County's White Turban Army did not make substantial progress, the two armies are deadlocked, into a real confrontation battle, time blink past a week, the strong organization led the sergeant launched three attacks, were blocked by the White Turban Army, Nanwang County is not like Donghai City, the city is high and thick, there is no need to forcibly attack the city, and the White Turban Army has no intention of defending to the death, when the East Navy, they are also in Nanwang County outside the line, and Donghai City to catch and fight, you come and go, Neither side got any benefit.

The Wolf Mountain Army does not appear on the battlefield, which is what I expected, according to the strategic deployment, the Wolf Mountain Army is responsible for sniping the White Turban Army reinforcements, that is, blocking the White Turban Army in Nanwang County and the White Turban Army in Hailing County, but after the third day, the ghost shadow of the Wolf Mountain Army is gone, to everyone's surprise, the good news is that Hailing County does not see the reinforcements of the White Turban Army.

If there are reinforcements from the White Turban Army in Hailing County, the strong must give up attacking Nanwang County, and the shame will become an eternal shame, since there is not, he can also put his mind at ease to deal with the White Turban Army in Nanwang County, although the casualties of the two armies are heavy, but they are mutual, which makes him feel at ease, otherwise, the regular defenders of Donghai City can't beat the rabble of the White Turban Army, and it is really laughing off the big teeth.

After the newly recruited sergeants and mercenaries were combined and arranged, all of them entered the establishment of the levy army, and the daily training was also carried out in an orderly manner, but most of the wounded in the first battle of the gray gate pass were not lightly injured, as the so-called wounded muscles and bones moved for a hundred days, many of the right-hand men could not join the battlefield, only some of the lightly injured sergeants recovered well, and they were already intact, but the injuries were only known to themselves, and outsiders could not know.

After the White Turban Army retreated, more and more refugees poured into Donghai City, dragging their families and mouths, and they were miserable, seeing this situation, I was no longer too lazy to go to the streets, out of sight, and nested in the camp at the North City Gate every day, training sergeants and reading the local history of Donghai City, so as to understand the establishment and composition of the Dragon Kingdom, as well as the state of the entire continent.

My clerk is very useful, not to mention the knowledge of astronomy and geography, he knows a lot about what he has seen and heard in the Dragon Kingdom, the situation in Donghai County can be said to be a meridian Yin Mao, some questions to ask him, he can often give unique insights and extraordinary analysis, Lao Zhongyong is actually a depressed talent, just because of his humble background, has not been able to give full play to his talents, originally his ideal is to be a civil official, but unfortunately the civil officials are all controlled by the wealthy, and it is not their turn to show their talents from humble backgrounds, So, in a situation where he had no choice, he chose to join the levy army, and now he is a little bit of a good use by my side.

It's bad news again in Donghai City, this time there is no good news, the lord of Taishou was killed by a bandit on the way back, this bad news came and shocked the entire Donghai City again, it can't be believed, although there are not many sergeants who went to Kyoto after this time, only eighty sergeants, but those eighty sergeants are all top soldiers, what kind of bandit can kill the lord of Taishou, and it is not far from the dragon in Xiangjun.

This news is true, the bad news is brought by a civil official of Xiangjun with a high status, responsible for Xiangjun's diplomatic affairs, this time I came to ask Donghai County to send someone to go and bring the body back, and at the same time, Xiangjun is also good to give Donghai County an explanation, the dignified Donghai County Taishou was killed by bandits on the territory of Xiangjun, it is really a strange story through the ages, and it must be observed.

Donghai County is really an eventful autumn, first the White Turban Army turned Donghai County upside down, and it was Lao Xinde who conspired to rebel and murdered Mrs. Taishou and Lao Zhang, and now even Taishou has died in the field, the bones are not cold, and the murderer is unknown.

Taishou suddenly suffered a catastrophe, some people are happy and some are worried, the most happy is the county Cheng Lao Yanfei, now he is in charge of the East China Sea City of the right size, it can really be said that one person is above ten thousand people, his position is firm, and there is no worry, even if the conspiracy and assassination is exposed, he has the confidence to protect himself.

The most worrying thing is Lao Zao, his uncle in Donghai County, who has come to this day by nepotism, is considered to have run out of luck, his nephew is dead, his sister is dead, and his brother-in-law is gone.

Lao Feng even sent an envoy to him who he couldn't shirk, went to Xiangjun to find out the cause of Taishou's death, took Taishou's body back to Donghai County for burial, and went to Xiangjun on the same day.

The moment he left the North City Gate of the East China Sea, Lao Zao's mood was mixed, except for the conscription army, there was no one else, Lao Zao looked at me affectionately, grabbed my hand, and was inexplicably moved by the excitement of speech, at this moment Lao Zao seemed to be old, tired, and didn't want to fight for power and profit, just wanted to go home to support the elderly, and to make fun of his grandson and take care of his life.
