Chapter 413: Responsibility
Ma Tie was taken aback when he saw the scene in front of him, "Why are there so many pessimists here?" He turned his head to an officer beside him and said, "Go and report to the general!" The officer answered, turned the horse's head, and urged the horse to gallop down.
Soon after, Zhang Lang, who was carrying Fang Tian's halberd, wearing Tang Ni chain armor, and riding a red rabbit horse, came to the front of the concentration camp surrounded by all the soldiers. I was taken aback when I saw a large area of people pressed by the black pressure in front of me.
When the people saw Zhang Lang, they knelt down one after another, and begged together: "General, please take us away." ”
Ma Tie raised his voice and said, "This is General Lu Bu!" ”
The people felt incredible, they never dreamed that the general Gui Wei would personally risk going deep into the enemy's hinterland. They bowed down and begged: "General, please wait for us to go!" ......" The scene was noisy, and everyone seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
Zhang Lang raised his voice and said, "Everyone get up!" I won't leave you behind! ”
The people were excited, and they kowtowed to thank them, and for a while, the scene was full of thanks, and their voices soared into the sky. After thanking each other, everyone stood up.
Ma Tie asked in a low voice, "The general really wants to take them?" ”
Zhang Lang nodded, "Of course!" You can't throw them to the Xianbei people again, can you? ”
Ma Tie hurriedly said: "The general is merciful, and the last general is extremely admired!" It's just that at this moment we are in the hinterland of the enemy, and once the enemy's large army comes back, it is unknown whether we can break through the siege, and if we still bring these many civilians, we will be worried about ......."
Zhang Lang raised his hand and interrupted Ma Tie's words, "Needless to say, I understand what you mean." Go and call the two generals, Ma Chao and Huang Zhong. ”
Ma Tie promised, turned the horse's head, and ran down.
Zhang Lang glanced at the people at the scene, and said to an officer beside him, "Take someone to get some food for them." The officer clenched his fists in agreement, turned his horse's head, and ran down.
Zhang Lang led the men and horses to the yamen of the governance office. When I came to the door of the yamen of the governance office, I looked up and found that the plaque on the edge of the yamen door of the governance office had disappeared. Turning over and dismounting, accompanied by Yang Kun and more than a dozen tiger guards, he walked towards the hall, while the other brigades stayed at the door and waited.
Zhang Lang came to the hall, and saw that the tables and chairs in the hall were almost all crooked, and there were traces left by a bonfire burning in the middle of the hall.
The people gathered in groups, and everyone's face was full of hope. Wang Yi asked Wang Kai in a low voice, "Father, do you think the general will really take us away?" I think it's unlikely. Wang Kai asked, "Why do you say that?" Wang Yi frowned and said, "Although I don't know how the general came here, I speculate that the Han army should not have defeated the Xianbei army." If this is the case, then the cavalry of the Great General is alone in the depths. The lone army is deep in the dangerous abnormality, and there is a danger of annihilation at any time, especially when facing a strong enemy like the Xianbei people! The general is still too busy to take care of himself, how can he have the spare strength to help us ordinary people? ”
Wang Kai nodded thoughtfully, "What you say makes sense. ”
At this moment, a Han army officer led more than 1,000 sergeants to the front of the concentration camp in a carriage loaded with a large amount of dry rations. The eyes of the people were immediately drawn to it.
The officer jumped into a carriage and shouted, "Folks, are you all hungry?" Come and get something to eat. ”
The eyes of the people lit up, and they immediately rushed over, scrambling to receive dry food and dried meat from the Han soldiers.
……
Ma Chao and Huang Zhong rode to the gate of the mansion, turned over and dismounted. Huang Zhong asked a tiger guard at the door, "Is the general inside?" The Tiger Guard clenched his fists and said, "The general is inside." Ma Chao and Huang Zhong immediately rushed in.
When I came to the hall, I saw Zhang Lang, and I hugged my fists together and said: "The last general has seen the general!" ”
Zhang Lang said: "No need to be polite. Has the enemy army cleared the city? ”
Ma Chao hugged his fists and said: "Back to the general, most of the 30,000 enemy troops were annihilated, but there were six or seven thousand horsemen who followed the Xianbei general Kumending and fled to the south gate. ”
Zhang Lang pondered for a moment and said to Ma Chao: "Send scouts immediately and be on guard on all sides." Ma Chao immediately summoned Ma Tie and conveyed the order according to Zhang Lang's order. Ma Tie took the order and ran down.
Zhang Lang asked, "How many supplies have the Xianbei people stored here?" ”
Huang Zhong clenched his fists and sighed: "It's like a mountain!" The last general estimates that most of the grain and grass materials of the Xianbei people are here! A fire burned here, and the Xianbei people didn't want to retreat! ”
Zhang Lang asked, "Do you know the people who are being imprisoned in the city?" ”
The two generals nodded. Ma Chao said: "Listening to Ma Tie, there are nearly 100,000 people, all of whom were captured by the Xianbei people. Zhang Lang nodded. Glancing at the two generals, "I decided to take them all away." ”
The two generals frowned slightly, and Huang Zhong clenched his fists and said, "Our soldiers should have died to protect the people!" It's a difficult thing to do, but no matter what the outcome, we have to do it! Ma Chao hugged his fists and said: "The general has an order, and the last general will go to the soup to step on the fire!" ”
Zhang Lang was very relieved and patted the second general's shoulder. He commanded: "Go and prepare, and set off before sunset." ”
"No."
"By the way, how many horses have been captured?" Zhang Lang asked.
Ma Chao hugged his fists and said: "Fifty or sixty thousand good Xianbei war horses were found in the horse farm in the city. ”
Zhang Lang couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Great! With these war horses, our chances of breaking through are a few points higher! Immediately bring in those war horses, and give them to the people, and let them ride on one horse, and those who can ride will take those who can't ride. Ma Chao clenched his fists and promised. Zhang Lang said to Huang Zhong: "The old general has arranged the men and horses to set the fire, and we will set the fire as soon as we leave." In addition, you must carry enough dry food and water, this journey south is not short! Huang Zhong clenched his fists and promised.
"Alright. Go ahead. ”
The second general saluted Zhang Lang and hurried down.
……
Ma Tiema Xiu II will come to the concentration camp with fifty or sixty thousand horses. The people did not know what was going on, and there was a lot of discussion.
Ma Tie raised his voice and said: "Fellow villagers, all come over to lead the horse, two people lead one, and those who can ride horses will not be able to ride horses." Hurry up, we're going to evacuate before nightfall! ”
The people went up to get the horses, two people received one, often brothers received one, husbands and wives received one, or fathers, sons, mothers and sons received one, and those who did not have relatives and friends formed a temporary team, the scene was noisy, and everyone's face was filled with a smile of hope.
Wang Kai and Wang Yi came to the front, Ma Tie glanced at the two of them and asked, "Are the two father and daughter?" The two nodded. Ma Tie handed a horse with a saddle bridle into the hands of the two of them. Wang Yi couldn't help but ask, "Does the general really want to take us along?" Ma Tie smiled: "Can this be fake?" The general said, "I will get you out no matter what." The father and daughter were shocked.
