Chapter 33: There are capable people in the mob

Chen Lin was very surprised to learn that Nanxiang County had not been breached, Jia Xu heard it, saw Chen Lin surprised, and said: "Lord, Nanxiang and Champion County are a hundred miles, the mob is on foot, it is good to be able to arrive in two days, now our army has only spent one night in Danshui, that is to say, the mob only began to attack Nanxiang this morning, if Nanxiang can work together throughout the whole process, hold on to this half day, or even tomorrow, it is possible."

When Chen Lin heard this, he immediately felt that it was a good time, and looked back at the three thousand wolf riders, from Danshui to Nanxiang, the cavalry definitely arrived overnight, and it was not a problem to run a hundred miles. Chen Lin immediately ordered Chen Ze loudly: "All wolves ride lightly and ride quickly, except for weapons and dry food overnight, they are not allowed to carry anything with them, and they must run to Nanxiang tomorrow morning." "Raid, if you run a hundred miles and suddenly attack the mob, the effect is specified to be twice the result with half the effort. Now that the wolf riders are equipped with horseshoes, even the ordinary wolf riders don't know how the war horses under him are different from before, but they just feel that the current war horses seem to be more capable of running and carrying heavier weights.

Looking at the wolf cavalry that was walking quickly, the three thousand cavalry lined up in a length of more than a mile and marched in an orderly manner. This is a rare cavalry, at least in the Central Plains, no prince can come up with such a formation now, three thousand iron cavalry, the passion brought by the thunderous gallop is exactly where Chen Lin, a young man like Chen Lin, feels the blood, pride is thousands of miles, galloping on the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, this is the army that anyone envies, coming and going without a shadow, sharp as a spear. Chen Lin really wanted to take such a cavalry to fight a good battle with the Hu people in the north, so that they could see that the iron cavalry of the Han Dynasty could also compete with the barbarians. Whenever he thought of the Han Dynasty suffering losses in Xianbei, Xiongnu, and Qiang people, Chen Lin was heartbroken, and suddenly Chen Lin had the idea of going out of Yangpingguan, Sanfu and Xiliang had countless Qiang people doing evil, Dong Zhuo didn't care, just let Hanzhong take care of it.

Hundreds of miles to the left and right of Nanxiang County are mountains and water, like a jewel set in the middle of a triangle. Chen Lin hurriedly asked: "How many mobs are there in Nanxiang, but there are people in charge?" Immediately, a scout stepped forward and said, "Lord Lord, according to the people of the champion and other counties, this mob is different from those left. There were about 80,000 people in this mob, and they took away a month's worth of food, one of which was said to be a subordinate of the county lieutenant of Suixian on the east bank of Danshui, and they all called him Lou Fa, a dignified Han official who could be a thief. It was this Lou Fa who led this mob and issued weapons. ”

Chen Lin was surprised, he couldn't imagine that there was such a situation here, but he didn't measure how capable he could be as a county lieutenant and deputy general, but the number of 80,000 was something Chen Lin couldn't imagine. Now Chen Lin has won the three counties of Danshui, and the current rough statistics of the population are only more than 40,000, and there are at least tens of thousands of corpses under the cities of the three counties, adding up to 670,000, which means that in just half a month, 60,000 or 70,000 people have died on the west bank of Danshui, not counting Nanxiang. What about the east coast, I'm afraid there are a lot, according to this situation, if there is no accident in Nanxiang City, one or two hundred thousand people will have to be sacrificed, and the name of the largest county in Nanyang Dahan is no longer there. Because of Yuan Shu's inaction, or his ill-intentioned desire to take Jingzhou, Nanyang lost at least 200,000 people, and it was the people.

"My lord, it's still twenty miles away from Nanxiang." The scout rushed to report: "The scout in front has encountered several fast horses, like scouts of the mob, and has sent people to chase them." When Chen Lin heard this, he looked at Jia Xu in surprise and said, "Scout? Mob scouts, this. "It's incredible, the mob can think of a scout, twenty miles away, and put a scout twenty miles away, it's terrifying. Jia Xu was also stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, and said: "Lord, it seems that this deputy general of the county lieutenant of Suixian County is not simple, or he is afraid of death." But no matter what it is, it is not good for our army, the mob is tens of thousands, our army only has 3,000 cavalry, and the best outcome is only for our army to rush and kill, beat the mob in fear, and then surrender. But if this lieutenant fled in a cowardly manner, tens of thousands of mobs would have scattered into the countryside, and the disaster would be endless. ”

If these tens of thousands of mobs really scattered in all directions as Jia Xu said, three or two ran to the ridges, to the mountains and villages, the three thousand wolf riders could only stare dryly, except for leaving a lot of robbers and thieves in this place. You must know that when Hanzhong County was pacified, those scattered Wudoumi disciples were scurrying around in Hanzhong, and it took Chen Lin more than a year to get rid of these thieves. Although such a thief cannot affect major events, it makes the place unpeaceful and will also cost a lot of financial expenditure.

Chen Lin was helpless, so he could only say: "It seems that the viscount will be busy again next year." "Wu Kuang must still be stationed here, and at that time, it was absolutely necessary to suppress bandits, and it was not enough to rely on county soldiers alone. After Chen Lin finished teasing, he immediately ordered the whole army to speed up, fast, fast, and now it's all about speed. Chen Lin ordered to speed up, but Chen Ze hurriedly ran over and said, "Big brother, the wolf rode all night without rest, and has been running for more than a hundred miles. Chen Lin slapped his forehead, he was all done by those scouts, and hurriedly said to Chen Ze: "Okay, Zhong Zhi is fully responsible for the attack of the wolf cavalry." Chen Lin knew that for the use of cavalry, no one in Hanzhong was Chen Ze's opponent, and it was better to leave it to a professional person to command. Chen Lin immediately ran to make arrangements, the army was still marching, and the sky in the east was already faintly shining, as red as blood.

After a while, Chen Ze came back and said to Chen Lin with a smile: "Big brother, those scouts were caught, and they were all shot alive. "Now you don't have to worry about Lou Fa knowing about Chen Lin's arrival in advance. Chen Ze said again: "It's only fifteen miles away from Nanxiang, and the wolf rider can reach it after a short period of speed, so why don't you let the soldiers eat some dry food here, and drink two sips of water." Fortunately, I rested in Danshui for one night before, otherwise the wolf rider would be miserable, Chen Lin heard it and said: "Well, the cavalry tactics Zhongzhi must know more, so follow Zhongzhi, but beware of the enemy attack, this mob is not all people." Chen Ze nodded and sent a fast horse to the front to shout to stop, it was not suitable to use a horn at this time.

Under the city of Nanxiang, a mile from the south gate, the mob camped here for the night, yesterday at noon began to attack Nanxiang City, more than 10,000 people died, the city was already in danger, everyone could see that although most of them were peasants, but it was an indisputable fact that there were fewer and fewer defenders in the city, and there were still a lot of people who were wearing tattered clothes like themselves, and they were certainly not real officers and soldiers.

Lou Fa is not as timid as Chen Lin Jiaxu said, nor is he as wise as they say, Lou Fa is just an ordinary martial artist, and his martial arts are not high, but he has a set of boats since he grew up by the river. Lou Fa relied on his years of hard work to become the deputy general of Suixian County Lieutenant, and was preparing to marry a woman and start a family. This flood washed everything away, and also washed away Lou Fa's future. Lou Fa didn't remember how he escaped, Suixian was attacked by the mob in one day, and the county magistrates were all hacked in front of him. When Lou Fa woke up, he found that he was by the river, and he had reached the west bank of Danshui, and later more and more homeless people swept away with Lou Fa and rushed into Danshui County. When he was recognized, the man shouted, look, the generals of Suixian have rebelled with us, what are we afraid of. Lou Fa was so frightened that he couldn't do it, and then everyone said that Lou Fa rebelled and became the leader of many people.

Lou Fa smiled, that was a kind of helplessness, now Lou Fa has no way out, there are still 60,000 people left, all looking at what they are eating. Lou Fa can't sleep, he can take Nanxiang tomorrow, but what's the use, at most, it's just like in Champion County, everyone has a month and a half of food, so what about after that? What about the officers and soldiers? Fight with the regular army? Lou Fa is a soldier, and he knows the difference between county soldiers and regular soldiers, that is the real thing that kills people, and the county soldiers are just to arrest thieves and the like.

Lou Fa put on a robe and went out, several so-called guards were guarding Lou Fa, gathering together to chat at this time, these people who were still farming half a month ago may also have long-term jobs. At this time, a person saw Lou Fa and hurriedly stood up: "General." Lou Fa smiled, what kind of general he was. Lou Fa nodded, and ran over a guard: "General, a few deserters stole a few horses and ran away last night, and I just found out just now, do you want to chase them?" ”

Lou Fa was stunned for a moment, let's go, deserter? It's just people who can't survive, Lou Fa said: "Don't chase it, let them go, but no such thing will happen in the future." The guard answered and ran away, and the east was already white, and it was dawn. Lou shook his robe, let's talk about it after today, and then I have to go back to the account. Suddenly, a whining horn sounded, just south, and the sound was heard less than two miles. Lou was shocked, the south, the horn, the officers and soldiers are coming. This was Lou Fa's first reaction, Lou Fa flicked his robe and shouted at the guards: "Go quickly, pass on a certain order, the guards are not allowed to move, line up." Everyone is not allowed to run around, take guns and line up, whoever dares to run around and kill whom, the guards will come with so-and-so. Hula rushed out hundreds of people, and there was armor, and Lou Fa shouted Lou Fa's original words like crazy.

It was Chen Lin Wolf who rode there. After secretly resting for a stick of incense more than ten miles away, the three thousand wolves rode to sharpen their knives, Chen Lin gave an order, Chen Ze took the lead, and the three thousand wolves rode fifty horses in a row, each row was five or six steps away, and walked forward slowly, knowing that there was only a distance of two miles. Chen Ze raised his spear and shouted: "Blow the trumpet." The sound of the three-way whining sounded muffled, and with the glowing east, the frost on the cold leaves trembled to the ground.

The city of Nanxiang is very wide, and tens of thousands of horses and horses in Loufa are not too crowded when they gather together. Across four or five miles, there is such a distance in length, and they are all mobs. Chen Lin raised his big gun and said to Lin An: "Curie, kill from the right wing, kill from the left wing, leave the middle to the eldest brother, the eldest brother also has itchy hands." As soon as Lin An heard the laughter, he led a thousand wolf horses to slowly accelerate towards the right wing.

Chen Lin said to Huang Yan all the time: "Huang Yan, go, Zhong Zhi left a thousand wolf horses for me to wait for the attacking army, so let you go." Huang Yan was stunned, he had never led an army. Chen Lin smiled: "Being a guard by someone's side, wronged, go, just this time, but there is no next time." Huang Yan was overjoyed, turned around and said a few words to Chen Lin's guards to protect the lord, and rushed out. Chen Lin left nearly a hundred guards alone here and looked at Jia Xu and smiled, Jia Xu also said: "Lord, Huang Yan is calm and a talent." Chen Lin nodded.
