Chapter 101: Tongchuan County

That night, the information on the movements of the rebel army in Nanyang Fucheng was also transmitted to the county commander of Tongchuan County. Eight] Eight] Reading] Book, .2√3.’o

The county commander who is more than half a hundred years old is named Wang Yan, although he was born as a military general, and he was also a brave and good fighter when he was young, when he received the information that the rebel army was marching, his hands still trembled unnaturally.

"Nearly 300,000 displaced people, tens of thousands of elite thieves, if this is attacked, how can I defend the county seat? Isn't this to force the old man to death? No, you can't go on like this, hurry up and send people to the county to move rescue troops, if you continue to fight like this, Tongchuan County will fall into the hands of the thieves in less than three days! ”

Wang Yan's face was pale, just because he was once a military general, he knew that these 300,000 homeless people were not terrible, but what was terrible was the tens of thousands of elite thieves!

A gust of wind hit, and he suddenly shivered, Wang Yan's uneasy mood became even more intense, and the copper bells in the county made a crisp sound, looking up at the sky, and the night shrouded the sky.

Wang Yan sighed, threw the information of the rebel army to his staff, and asked, "What do you think of this situation?" ”

The staff looked at each other, their faces were pale, and after a while, one of the staff members said: "My lord, our Tongchuan County is on the road that must pass through the county seat, and now the anti-thieves must pass through our county, the county wall is low and the troops are scarce, there are only 1,000 soldiers, among which there are 500 newly recruited recruits, and there are no more than 500 people who can really be used, how can this resist this anti-thief army?" ”

Hearing this, another staff member couldn't help but say, "My lord, either hurry up and ask for help, or ......"

Speaking of this, he kept his mouth shut and carefully observed Wang Yan's expression.

Wang Yan didn't know what it meant, there was another way to abandon the city and escape, and his heart was also in a trance, and after a while, his mind settled down, and said: "There is also Lan Junshou, you have to ask him for help, let's see what Lan Junshou says first......

Such a tone immediately made the staff show joy, normal people would not have hundreds and one hundred against three hundred thousand anti-thieves and tens of thousands of elites. βˆŸβ˜…ε…«βˆŸβ˜…ε…«βˆŸβ˜… Reading∟ β˜… book, .2▲》

"My lord! Someone from the county town has arrived! Then suddenly a servant came in from outside, hurried over, and made a loud report.

Wang Yan was stunned in his heart, he didn't expect the county guard to react so quickly, and immediately said, "Invite him in!" ”

There was no need to invite them, a few people strode in from outside.

The leader of the person, about thirty years old, resolute and resolute, Wang Yan immediately recognized it, it was the personal soldier of the county guard Lan Bowen.

I was already secretly bitter in my heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This is not General Wei Ying, I don't know what you are doing here?" ”

"Your Excellency orders you to make every effort to block the advance of the thieves here, hold out for at least three days, and if you can't hold the county seat after three days, you can retreat to the county seat." General Wei Ying sat directly on the main seat and said to everyone present.

"All the grain that can be collected in the county town is concentrated in the county town. It was too late to transport, and before the city was broken, it was all destroyed. In short, the blue county guard asked you to wait here for three days, and once the three days passed, it would be forgotten if you couldn't hold it. Wei Yingjiang had a straight face, a pair of eye sockets were slightly sunken, and there was very little expression on his stern face, and when he said this, his muscles twitched imperceptibly, and after speaking, his lips tightened again.

Wang Yan lowered his head and thought about it, pursed his lips and muttered for a moment, and said: "The grain in the county town can be transferred, but now there is no one to transport it away, and you also know the situation in the city, there are only 500 soldiers in the county, how can this stop the 300,000 army of the anti-thieves for three days, and it is too difficult to divide the troops to transport the grain......

Wei Yingjiang's eyes flashed with essence: "Don't worry, the county guard has expected your situation here, I came here this time, not only to transport some grain and grass back, but also to bring you the elite of the second guard, these people will stay in the city today, under your command, together with the five hundred people in your county, the total is fifteen hundred, including this strong city, can always let you guard for three days, right?" ”

Wei Yingjiang said with a smile.

The county hall suddenly fell silent, Wang Yan thought about it, and in desperation, he breathed a deep breath: "Since this is the case, I will be ordered, but I must leave the five days' rations, and if the five days' rations are not left, this battle will not be able to be fought." ”

General Wei Ying had no objection to this, but he just tugged at the corners of his mouth, agreed, and then stopped staying, and immediately ordered to travel with the grain and grass in the county, and was busy until midnight, and then left Tongchuan County overnight.

Wang Yan had no choice but to agree, and as soon as the people left, several staff members picked up: "My lord, what should I do?" ”

"Let's fight, most of the soldiers of these two battalions are offended people, so they came here, but their net worth is in Fucheng, and it is impossible to surrender, let's fight first, hey!" Fei Yan said.

It was not only Wang Yan, the county magistrate of Tongchuan County, who couldn't sleep for a long time that night, but also far away.

Standing on the city, looking at the black pressure in the distance, Yang Qi didn't know what he was thinking.

Beside him, there were dozens of heavily guarded tiger guards,
