Chapter 18 Proud Soldiers

There was chaos in the hall of Yingchuan Academy at the moment, and the children of the family were all frightened, exchanging countermeasures, and even many of them proposed to move their families to take refuge.

Who is the Yellow Turban Thief? That's an ant thief who specializes in killing wealthy families!

If the Yellow Turban thieves swept through Yingchuan, they would inevitably have no eggs under the nest!

"Everyone, please calm down." Xun Yan had to come forward to stabilize the situation, and the children of the family were also convinced by the Xun family, and after hearing the words, they all closed their mouths and calmed down, to see what Xun Yan had to retreat from the enemy.

Xun Yan said loudly: "Bocai led an army of 10,000 troops to Yingchuan, its purpose is unknown, but in any case, we must be prepared to defend against the enemy, if we can't unite at this moment, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Qun got up and said, "What Brother Xiu Ruo said is very good. At this critical time for survival, we must work together to overcome this great difficulty. ”

"I don't know what the long article has?" Some children of the family asked Chen Qun for advice.

Chen Qun rolled his eyes, looked at Guo Jia, and arched his hand: "The group knows that they are sparse, and the strategy of resisting the enemy must be a clever plan in Fengxiao's heart." ”

Everyone's eyes turned to Guo Jia, in all fairness, although Guo Jia was bohemian, arrogant and arrogant, and the children of the family had been jealous for a long time, they had to admit that Guo Jia was indeed talented, and he didn't care about the door at the moment, hoping that Guo Jia could come forward.

After Guo Jia coughed lightly, he said lightly: "The Taiping Dao soldiers forcing Yanjing is the top priority, Bocai divided his troops to attack Yingchuan, no matter what he wants, or plundering money and grain, or slaughtering big households, he will definitely not stay here for a long time." There are two reasons, Yingchuan is flat, there is no danger to defend, garrison? No way. Moreover, Bo Cai was a rebel general of Taiping Dao, and how could he miss such an important battle as the siege of Luoyang? Therefore, we only need to concentrate our men and horses to move into the city, hold on for a few days, and the wave will retreat. ”

Everyone in the room looked at each other, and suddenly felt reasonable, Xun Yan also nodded thoughtfully, and said after thinking about it: "In this case, we will move all the children in the family into the Changshe, and when the wave comes, just stick to it." ”

Long Society?

Guo Jia was stunned again, and secretly thought to himself: Without the army of Huangfu Song, would Bocai still be buried in Changshe?

After discussing the details, they left one after another, and went home to arrange the relocation, at this moment, the Yingchuan wealthy family hugged together, in order to save the family, unity and cooperation is the general trend.

After the children of the family left, only Xun Yan, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Chen Qun were left in the room.

Xun Yan frowned and asked the three of them: "I can't figure it out, Bocai defeated General Huangfu's nearly 100,000 troops on the border of Jizhou, although there is a reason why the army led by General Huangfu collapsed without a fight, but Bocai swallowed countless pieces of weapons, armor and grain and grass of the Wang Division, and now he lacks nothing, why did he divide his troops to attack Yingchuan?" If it is said to be a pass, it doesn't make sense, the Taiping Road Five Road Army raised 600,000 troops to force Luoyang, obviously to fight and finish, in such a situation, the wave came to Yingchuan, it is really unpredictable. ”

"What Hugh Ruo said is exactly what he said, and he racked his brains to figure out the purpose of the march in the future, but he didn't have the slightest clue." Chen Qun sighed and set his eyes on Guo Jia.

At this time, Xi Zhicai glanced at Guo Jia with a little meaning, and Guo Jia also had a premonition in his heart: Bo is coming at me!

But this must not be said in any case, otherwise it will cause death.

Two days later, all the famous families in Yingchuan moved into the Changshe City, and Guo Jia also brought more than 300 civilians into the Changshe Society, and brought Xu Shu's mother and son to meet.

At the same time, Bocai led 10,000 troops to step into Yingchuan, and after getting the news, he went straight to Changshe.

In the county government of Changshe City, the county magistrate and the county officials have long fled, and this place has become the meeting and command place of the wealthy families.

"There are more than 1,700 servants and guards in total, and the grain and grass transported to the city are enough to last for half a year." After Chen Qun's report, he sighed slightly, there is a lot of grain and grass in these big clans, but there are too few people who can go to the battlefield.

Xun Yan nodded and then looked at Guo Jia, Xu Shu, and Xi Zhicai, and asked, "I'm afraid that the Bocai army will arrive in the city within a day, do the three of you have anything to add?" ”

Xu Shu replied: "You can prepare boiling oil in advance, and then move the stones outside the city into the city, and when you defend the city, you can use it to defend the enemy." In addition, the city gate must be heavily guarded, and the Bocai army came from afar, and I am afraid that his attack in the first battle was focused on storming the city gate. ”

Xun Yan was as good as a stream, and immediately sent the order to be executed, and Xi Zhicai continued: "The soldiers defending the city are from various families, and I am afraid that they will not obey the orders on the battlefield and fight separately, I intend to reorganize these nearly two thousand soldiers defending the city, and under the unified command of the children of the Xun family. ”

Everyone's faces turned pale, and their hearts woke up, Guo Jia sighed: "Zhicai is very worried, this less than 2,000 defenders are not strong in battle, if you don't listen to the order and act without permission, I'm afraid that the first battle will be attacked by Bocai into the city." ”

It's not that Guo Jia looks down on these children of the family, but Yingchuan has been outstanding since ancient times, but it is not necessarily that all the children of Yingchuan famous families are heroes, so that Guo Jia admires the famous family of Yingchuan, only the Xun family, at this critical juncture, only the children of the Xun family can take on this great task without causing public anger, if Guo Jialai leads the defense of the city, I am afraid that he will not be able to command a single soldier at all, because the servants of the family look down on Guo Jia from a poor background in their hearts, in the same way, Xi Zhi is not good, Xu Shu is not good, even Chen Qun is afraid that his appeal is not enough, and it is difficult to convince the public.

After everything was arranged, Guo Jia, Xun Yan and others came to the head of Changshe City and waited for the Bocai army.

In the evening, the dust outside the city of Changshe was flying, and the soldiers with yellow scarves on their heads poured in like a tide, and stopped a mile outside the city, and the man who led the army on horseback was Bocai.

Seeing that small city was close in front of him, a disdainful smile rose on the corner of Bocai's mouth: The famous generals of the Huangfu Song generation have all been cut down by my Bocai, and these Yingchuan warriors are vainly trying to use the small city to stop my army? Wish for the moon! The 100,000 troops were all killed by me, how many soldiers and soldiers can there be in this small city?

"Give the order to go down, rest for a while, and attack the city in an hour! Break through the north gate with all your might, and after entering the city, surrender but not kill. ”

The Yellow Turban soldiers all felt strange, whenever they broke through the city along the way, they would kill all the big families of the warrior clan, why did they want to surrender now and not kill? This answer is known only to Bo.

Bo Cai, who was riding on a horse and looking at Changshe City, recalled a scene more than half a year ago, that was late at night outside the gate of Yecheng, and he urged Zhang Jiao to kill the young man who spoke wildly.

Within ten years, if the Taiping Road does something, it will be a complete failure!

Guo Jia, Guo Jia, my Taiping Dao is now like a bamboo, not to say that I will capture Yanjing and change the dynasty, have you ever thought of the current situation? I know that the great sage and good teacher love you very much, and it is even rumored that he wants to accept you as a righteous son and pass on the great cause of Taiping Dao to you, so today, I personally come to invite you to go to Luoyang with me, so that you can see my Taiping Dao become a hegemony for thousands of years.

At the head of the city, Guo Jia, Xun Yan and others had grim faces, looking at the Bocai army not far away, without fear.

They are not afraid, and there are so many people who are afraid.

"He, what are they going to do? Why do you neither attack nor retreat, and what does this mean? A child of a family with chattering teeth asked weakly with a timid face.

Chen Qun stood up at the head of the city, and said in a deep voice without looking back: "Bocai is coming, at this moment it is just a short rest, and after the soldiers recover their strength, they will attack the city." ”

Xu Shu hugged his fists at Xun Yan and said, "Brother Hugh, order the guards to prepare." ”

Xun Yan immediately issued several orders, and the children of the Xun family acted separately after receiving the order.

An hour later, the sky gradually darkened, and Bo Cai was already arrogant at this time, regardless of the darkness of the sky, and wanted to break through the Changshe in one go.

Bocai, who stood in front of the army across his horse, waved his hand and roared angrily: "Siege." ”

The Yellow Turban Army behind him rushed away like wild horses.

The head of the city of Changshe looked down at the soldiers in front of him like a long dragon like a sea, and the fierce momentum that swept in, many children of the family trembled with fright, and their lips turned white, but Guo Jia chuckled: "I heard that Bocai broke the Han Dynasty and killed more than a dozen generals such as Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Zhu Jun. ”

Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, Chen Qun, and Xun Yan all nodded in agreement and chuckled.

A child of the family next to him didn't know what he meant, and asked: "I see that this yellow turban thief is fierce, why is Brother Hugh Ruo laughing?" ”

Xun Yan chuckled: "Although Changshe is a small city, it is not strong, but Bo Cai wants to forcibly break through the city gate without any siege equipment, it is unwise, and at this time the sky is dark, Bo Cai ordered his subordinates to attack the city, regardless of the casualties of the soldiers, there is a way that the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, when his army is killed under the city, the city is attacked by the rain of arrows, and the yellow turban thief is even more difficult to dodge." It seems that Bocai has been carried away by the previous victory, and naively thinks that the siege of the city with only a large number of people is enough. ”

The Yellow Turban Army was divided into two formations to attack the city, the soldiers in the front rushed to the city gate with a giant log, and there were crossbowmen in the rear to shoot arrows at the head of the city to cover, Bo Cai led the foot soldiers in the rear to watch the development of the war, as long as the city gate was broken, he led the army commander to drive straight in.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the Yellow Turban crossbowmen couldn't see the figures on the tower of Changshe City at all, so they could only shoot at the tower without any intention, and the Yellow Turban Army who rushed to the city gate with a giant tree was attacked and killed by an overwhelming rain of arrows before they could rush under the city gate.

Because they knew that the Yellow Turban Army was attacking the city this time, although the soldiers defending the city were not good at archery, but they shot blindly at the front of the city gate, but the effect was very high.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The soldiers in the city blocked the city gate with all their might, and when the two sides were at a stalemate, the Yellow Turban army outside the city who slammed the door screamed and cried bitterly, and countless stones and hot oil were poured on the tower of Gain.

There was a wail outside the city gate, and Bocai, who was watching the battle from a distance, was blown by the night breeze at this time, and the coolness was all over his body, and he suddenly sobered up a little and ordered to withdraw his troops.

After the Yellow Turban Army withdrew, there was a cheer in Changshe City, and Guo Jia Xunyan and others at the head of the city also said a few polite words to each other, but unexpectedly, Bocai came to Changshe City alone.

Bo Cai, who was wearing a dark blue cloak in silver armor and silver armor, stood tall and said loudly to Changshe City: "Little Taigong Guo Fengxiao is here?" ”
