"It's not good, there are aliens among the officers and soldiers who will fall into the stone demon technique, and the whole army will retreat quickly!"
In a hurry, Zhang Yan didn't understand why this big stone fell from the sky, and thought that there were capable people in the officer and soldier array who would use witchcraft. What's even more helpless is that in the face of the huge meteorite falling from the sky, the Montenegrin Army had no power to resist at all, so it could only order a retreat!
Most of the Black Mountain Army is from all over the Yellow Turban remnants, from the beginning they have been brainwashed by the Zhang Jiao brothers, believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, believe that Zhang Jiao is a "great sage and good teacher", so there is no doubt that there are strange people in the officer and soldier array will use witchcraft.
was smashed by the chaos of World War I, and tens of thousands of black mountain thieves panicked and fled in a panic. They were originally a rabble, and under the fright, they had no military discipline at all, fleeing back all over the mountains, trampling on each other, and countless dead.
"The whole army is in pursuit!"
With a wave of the Chongxiao sword in Yuan Mai's hand, the officers and soldiers behind him followed the thieves like a tide. After a chase battle, he killed more than 3,000 slow thieves and captured more than 2,000 people. Another big win.
Zhang Yan saw that the general trend had gone, the army's heart was shaken, and everyone was tired of fighting, so he had to abandon the camp and lead the troops to retreat to the east. More than 60,000 Montenegrin troops withdrew eastward to the area of Mengxian County, and only then did they set up camp, pause for a while, and then think about it in the long run.
"Haha...... Our thunderbolt is really powerful, and a burst of stones falling from the sky smashed the black mountain thieves away. Go back and Deheng will rebuild his 100 thunderbolts. Let's go south and fight Cao Apu! β
After retreating from the thieves in a battle and relieving the siege of Montenegro, Yuan Mai smiled, stretched out his hand and stroked the sparse beard that grew out of his chin. smiled and praised Ma Jun.
Ma Jun is still self-aware. The appearance of the thunderbolt shocked the Montenegrin army. But if you really think that Zhang Yan's withdrawal was scared away by the "thunderbolt", then it can only be said that there is a problem with IQ.
In fact, the continuous attack on Dingxiang City did not fall. The Montenegrin bandits had already developed a war-weary mood, coupled with the gathering of reinforcements from all walks of life, Zhang Yan knew that there was no hope of breaking through Dingxiang, so he ordered a retreat. In a word, the retreat of the Montenegrin army was related to the appearance of the Thunderbolt, but by no means the main reason.
"Lord Assassin Shi has won the prize, and the Black Mountain thief is not scared away!" Ma Jun smiled shyly, "Besides, this thunderbolt was also conceived by Lord Thorn Shi, and the humble position is just responsible for manufacturing!" β
Yuan Maiwan smiled and gave the credit to Ma Jun: "I'm just a fantasy, it's a fake trick that only talks but doesn't practice, and it's all the credit of you Ma Deheng to make the thunderbolt." If I had said to him a hundred times, I would not have been able to build this amazing thunderbolt! β
After seeing the power of the thunderbolt, Xu Shu and Wang Shuang were impressed by their unattractive horses, don't look at this person who is thin and small, less than 100 catties, but he has great wisdom in his mind.
praised in unison: "Oh, if you don't see the power of the thunderbolt with your own eyes, it's really unbelievable, I can't imagine that Ma Deheng actually has a magic manufacturing technique, even if Lu Guogong loses the class, it's just like that!" β
The thieves retreated, and the soldiers and civilians of Dingxiang City cheered, and Yuan Mai led his troops into the city to reward the soldiers and civilians.
Before the crops in the field could be harvested, the Black Mountain army came to the city, and in the interval between the siege of the city, Zhang Yan sent people to harvest the crops in the field. At this time, the Dingxiang granary had been exhausted, and the food of the soldiers and civilians in the city had become a big problem.
Fortunately, Yuan Mai came with a month and a half of military rations this time, and originally wanted to fight a protracted battle with the Montenegrin army, but he didn't expect the thieves to retreat in a battle, and there were still 20,000 stone grain and grass in the army.
Yuan Mai sent people to allocate 10,000 stone of grain to the people of Dingxiang to distribute, and promised the people that it would not be long before grain and grass would be transported to Dingxiang from Jinyang, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places to help the people tide over the difficulties, and would never let their people go hungry.
10,000 stone of grain totals 1.2 million catties, distributed to more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, each family can get 40 catties, plus their home stockpiles, it is not a big problem to hold on for a month or two, and then the grain and grass from all over the country will be delivered.
After receiving the millet rice, the people breathed a sigh of relief, and they were finally not afraid of hunger. For the generosity and kindness of Lord Thorn Shi, the people are all grateful!
In addition to distributing food to the residents of Dingxiang, Yuan Mai also postponed the payment of soldiers' salaries, and took out the five baht money and cloth and other materials in the army to distribute to the people so that they could rebuild their homes.
This time, under the onslaught of more than 100,000 Black Mountain thieves, Dingxiang was able to stand tall, in addition to Tian Yu leading his subordinates to defend it, the people of Dingxiang City also made great contributions; Many people did not hesitate to demolish their houses and use bricks and tiles to stop the siege of thieves, if it were not for the concerted efforts of the army and the people, it would be impossible for Dingxiang to hold out until reinforcements from all walks of life arrived!
Holding the plump millet and holding the jingling five-baht coin, the tens of thousands of people in Dingxiang all wept and knelt down on the street to thank them: "Thank you Lord Thorn Shi for giving food, thank you Lord Thorn Shi for giving money, long live Lord Thorn Shi!" β
All of a sudden, the passionate people knelt on the ground and shouted "Long live" in unison, like a mountain shouting a tsunami, resounding through the sky.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up quickly, please get up quickly...... I am your parent official, protecting your life and maintaining your life is my duty, and I am duty-bound! Don't shout like this, people with ulterior motives will grab your braids and say that I am a big rebel! β
Yuan Mai, dressed in a cyan robe and a red cloak, under the escort of Zhou Cang, took Xu Shu, Tian Yu, Hao Zhao and others to patrol the streets, pacify the people, shuttle among the people, and shout loudly while arching his hands to the people on both sides.
"This time, the Black Mountain thieves are menacing, and more than 100,000 people have invaded the territory, but they have not been able to set foot in Dingxiang City. In addition to Tian Taishou leading the troops to fight to the death, it is also inseparable from the help of the Sangzi fathers and elders who forgot to die, and many villagers sprinkled their blood on the city and defended the city with their lives. I pledge here that all those who have been killed or injured in their families will be given generous benefits. In the next few years, there will be government funds to build new houses for you, and you will definitely not be left homeless by the demolished houses! β
"Long live Lord Thorn Shi!"
"Long live Lord Thorn Shi!"
"Hooray, hooray!"
After listening to Yuan Mai's words, tens of thousands of people in Dingxiang cheered in unison again, and shouted "Long live" again under emotion.
Yuan Mai hurriedly raised his hand to stop: "Everyone, Sangzi, don't shout like this, you can't help it, you can't do it!" β
The crowd didn't know who shouted: "The emperor claims to be long live, but he doesn't care about the life and death of our common people; Master Thorn not only protects our lives, but also gives us money and food, in our hearts, Master Thorn is our long live! β
"Well said, Lord Thorn is our long live!"
"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"
The cries of the people rose again, like a tsunami from a mountain.
Since Yuan Mai couldn't stop it, he had to let them shout, anyway, he didn't force them by himself.
Tens of thousands of people shouted in unison, but it was very useful, and in my impression, only super leaders could enjoy such dignity, and they were also beautiful today!
After the people were settled, Yuan Mai entered the barracks again to reward the three armies, and finally led a high-ranking general into the Taishou Mansion to reward meritorious service.
This time, Tian Yu was able to successfully resist the Montenegrin army's invasion, and Tian Yu made great contributions, and Yuan Mai gave Tian Yu the title of "Broken General", and he was still acting in Dingxiang. Other generals Wang Shuang, Hao Zhao, Wang Ling and others were also sealed one by one. Xu Shu made many strange plans and made great contributions, and was promoted to join the army and awarded the title of general.
Just when Yuan Mai felt that there was no omission, Hao Zhao stood up, pointed to a young military general with a clear face behind Wang Ling, and saluted Yuan Mai: "Lord Assassin Shi, this time against the Black Mountain Thief, Guo Boji has made great contributions, he first beheaded Wang Dang, and then assisted me in defeating Sun Qing, his merit is far better than that of Lord Showa Wang Ling, please assassinate Lord Shi canonized!" β
"Oh, that's it?"
After listening to Hao Zhao's words, Yuan Maicai set his eyes on the young man behind Wang Ling, and saw that he was good-looking, polite, seven feet eight inches tall, and his physique was not burly, but a little thin; Of course, this also has something to do with his age, he looks like a teenager of fifteen or sixteen.
At first, Yuan Mai thought that this was just a cronie of Wang Ling, so he didn't pay special attention, but at this moment, he heard Hao Zhao give him special praise, which attracted Yuan Mai's attention.
Hearing Hao Zhao say that his name was Guo Boji, it seemed a little familiar, and he couldn't remember it for a while, so he had to smile and ask the young general: "Is what Hao Taishou said true?" What is your name and where is your ancestry? What is your current position? β
The young general came out and said: "Back to the words of Lord Shi, the villain's surname is Guo Minghuai, his ancestral home is Taiyuan Yangqu, and now he is serving as a captain under Wang Ling Taishou." What Hao Taishou said was true, but it was not a humble achievement, it was just a fluke, plus the life of the whole army, so he defeated the Black Mountain thieves! β
When he heard the word "Guo Huai", Yuan Mai's ears "buzzed", and an inexplicable excitement suddenly spread all over his body, so that Guo Huai's words could no longer be listened to......
I really don't know gold and jade, I didn't think that Guo Boji was the famous Guo Huai in the late Three Kingdoms, this is the pillar of the later Wei State, and he belongs to the handsome talent who can take charge of himself, and he quietly appeared under his command, this great harvest is really unexpected!
