Chapter 59, the angry and ruined Aoshan City

"Chase!" Liu Feng didn't care about any system prompts now, and he didn't care about being tired, and together with Bai Jian, he quickly organized people to pursue the enemy. This is the best time to expand the results of the battle, and he can't let it go.

More than 600 people in Shanbei Town died almost before, and most of the more than 500 people and 2,000 city guards in Shannan Town were killed and injured during the siege, and less than 1,000 people were able to escape. Although the casualties in this battle were not large, more than 300 people were only organized to pursue, and most of them were previous archers.

"Lay down your arms, surrender or kill!" The pursuing team kept rushing forward, shouting at the soldiers who had fallen behind along the way, and there would be no mercy if they resisted the slightest.

More than 300 people chased and killed nearly a thousand people, which seems ridiculous, but on the battlefield, anything can happen. Just like the Ming Dynasty in the past, dozens of Japanese robbers could loot a city.

Just escaped from the city, a group of men and horses stabbed and killed, but it was Yun Ao who led the bandits to kill. The bandits did not enter the city before, but hid on the side, waiting for the city guards to fail and come to strangle.

The fleeing team hurried all the way, and when they arrived at the previous station, the army of Aoshan Town had already stopped attacking and had assembled their ranks. Obviously, they have little to lose.

"Kill!" Just as the city guards approached the team of Aoshan Town, trying to beg for shelter, Aoshan Town raised their butcher knives at them. Caught off guard, a large number of city guards fell to the ground, and the rest of the people finally understood that Wei Ran had surrendered to the enemy. So he changed his course again and fled out of the mountain. It's just that this time, there are not many people who escape.

Liu Feng is pursuing, he wants to expand the results of the battle, capture the population, and weaken the strength of Aoshan City; Aoshan Town is also pursuing, and even more urgently-the current Aoshan Town does not have the strength to resist the city guards, and of course it will not let go of these defeated soldiers who brought the news of his surrender to the enemy.

After chasing all the way to Aoshan, Liu Feng collected his troops and returned, and there were only more than 100 coalition troops who successfully escaped, and all the weapons and equipment had been lost. Wei Ran and Liu Feng returned to Baizhen together, at this time, it was not suitable for him to go back.

Seeing that the enemy was no longer pursuing, the coalition forces that had escaped finally relented. At this moment, a large group of people appeared in front of him. But it was Wei Ju who came with the people left behind in Aoshan Town.

"Mayor Wei, you can count on it. A town appeared in the Ao Mountains, the coalition forces were defeated, and the two commanders were killed. Seeing Wei Ju and his people coming, these people felt a little safe, and someone said angrily, "What's even more odious is that Wei Ran, he actually defected to the enemy, and united with the other party to hunt us down." He is the commander of your Aoshan Town, and you are responsible for this defeat! ”

"What, there's such a thing?" Wei Ju's face changed, "How can this be reasonable, in vain I believe in Wei Ran, I didn't expect him to betray me." Don't worry, now that you are safe, go back with me, send the news to the city lord's mansion, and when the army arrives, go into the mountains to destroy them, and avenge the two commanders and all the soldiers. When Wei Ran is caught, I will ask you for my guilt. ”

These people finally put their minds at ease, and some people felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't say it, so Wei Ju collected the defeated troops and retreated to Aoshan Town.

They were indeed safe. As soon as they arrived in Aoshan Town, they were arranged separately in the barracks. The generals were all arranged individually, and they were not even allowed to leave the room except for eating every day. By the time someone realized they were under house arrest, it was too late.

The appearance of Wei Ju is not accidental. Liu Feng had already agreed with him that after the city guards were defeated and retreated, he would gather and detain these escapees. When the city guards attacked the city unfavorably, there were already scouts who went to report for help, but they were all taken by Wei. When the city guards retreated, these scouts who had withdrawn early when they saw that the situation was not good were also taken.

Under the combination of the inside and the outside, it can be said that except for Aoshan Town, the city guards' suppression of bandits was once again wiped out. Liu Feng can be regarded as experiencing the benefits of cooperating with others, if there is no Aoshan Town, without those intelligence, it is not so simple to win, and the casualties will be greater. If you add Aoshan Town, although Liu Feng is not afraid, he can win the battle, but it will inevitably hurt his muscles and bones, and it will seriously hinder the next development.

How good is this ending now, there is nothing to lose in Aoshan Town; The military forces of Shannan Town and Shanbei Town were basically destroyed, and the mayor of the town was killed, becoming an undefended town; The city guard lost 2,000 men, which was a little blood; And the White Town was upgraded to a medium-sized town, and in addition to achieving its goals, it also captured a large number of prisoners and obtained a large amount of loot.

However, Liu Feng did not sit on the merit book to rest, after a day of rest, Bai Jian personally led the team, led 300 soldiers and a group of bandits to attack Shanbei Town, after breaking the city, transported a large number of materials and people back to Baizhen, and destroyed the city and its subordinate villages.

Three days later, the recuperated Bai Zhen once again attacked Shannan Town and destroyed the city.

Conquering the city will inevitably lead to population displacement, and Baizhen does not have the ability to take all the people away, and the rest will be cheapened by Aoshan Town. Aoshan Town took advantage of the situation to gather one or two thousand people, which greatly supplemented the population resources.

Although the two towns did everything possible to block the road to Aoshan City, it was impossible to hide this kind of thing for too long. Seven days later, Aoshan City finally received the news. By this time, the two towns had been destroyed by Whitetown.

At the same time, the emergency document of Aoshan Town was also sent to the City Lord's Mansion.

On the paperwork of Aoshan Town, he first pleaded guilty to not letting a town be built in the mountains; The second is to give a detailed explanation of the process of suppressing bandits; In the end, he said that he was no longer able to deal with the mysterious forces, and asked Aoshan City for guidance on what to do next.

The other two are easy to say, but in the battle report, there are some problems. The battle report of Aoshan Town first accused the commander-in-chief of being arrogant and not listening to Aoshan Town's words; accused the mayor of Shanbei Town of being overjoyed, greedy for merit, and was ambushed by bandits and suffered many losses; In the end, the commander-in-chief did not listen to the dissuasion and forcibly fought the general, so that he died, and the deputy general was greedy for the merit of breaking the city and divided the troops to attack, but he did not expect that the other party was all soldiers, first dragged Aoshan Town, defeated the city guards, and then defeated Aoshan Town with a great victory.

As for why he didn't report to the City Lord's Mansion earlier, Aoshan Town has even more reason. First of all, the other party chased too fiercely, and there were too few people who escaped, and when these people arrived in Aoshan Town, the other party surrounded Aoshan Town again, and there were less than half of the soldiers left in Aoshan Town, and their morale was low and they did not dare to go out of the city. Later, after the other party broke through Shannan Town and Shanbei Town, he continued to draw soldiers from Aoshan Town, and then found an opportunity to break through and send this battle report.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang in the City Lord's Mansion, and someone was dropping something.

"Wei is an old horseman, and he deceives people too much." In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, one of the angry young men was scolding, "I don't know what kind of person he is, I have dreamed of turning Aoshan Town into a large town, and he has been preserving his strength for many years, and it will be hellish if he can contribute to this battle." The war report that has dragged on for so long is still written so high-sounding, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring, it seems how noble they are. Maybe he did it on purpose, waiting until the enemy destroyed Shannan Town and Shanbei Town before reporting it. What the other party is besieging the city, his own strength is insufficient, it's all a excuse. Or maybe he's already colluded with the other party. "This man is in his thirties, dressed in fine clothes, with a delicate face, but a pair of triangular eyes spoils his beautiful face. At this time, he was in a state of rage, and his face was distorted and hideous. This person is the city lord of Aoshan City.

"The city lord is angry, it's not good to be angry." There was also a middle-aged man with a beard and dressed as a scribe in the hall, who was one of the city lord's advisors, and he dissuaded, "Don't spread the word of the city lord outside, otherwise it will cause big trouble." ”

"What, am I not right?" The city lord looked unhappy.

"No, what you said is very right, I also believe in the judgment of the city lord, Wei Ju must have done something, but the problem is that we have no evidence. If it is based on such speculation, it will cause a backlash. The middle-aged scribe said.

This time to suppress the bandits, Aoshan City was not unprepared, and while sending a large army, it also sent many spies to contact the army and Aoshan City. These spies make a round trip to Aoshan City every day to report the news. But since the army entered the mountain, there has been no news of it.

From the beginning of the third day, Aoshan City already felt that something was wrong, strengthened its communications, and sent more than a dozen spies, which could be like a stone sinking into the sea. Aoshan City finally determined that something was wrong, and before he could act, he received bad news.

"You also know that in recent years, these towns have become more and more dissatisfied, and now except for Dinghai Town, which has always been mediocre, there is only one medium-sized town left that completely obeys the orders of the City Lord's Mansion." The middle-aged scribe continued, "And our relationship with Yucheng is at a time of tension, and we still need their support, and now they can't move. Now that it's almost the end of the year, it's time for the Snow Mountain Cottage to go out again. At this time, we should not make a big move, otherwise it will not be good to force them to rebel. ”

"So what do you say?" The city lord thought about it, if this was a few years earlier, Aoshan Town dared to have such an attitude, he would directly lead people to level Aoshan Town. But Wei saw this old man very accurately, and he was very respectful in the past few years, so he couldn't find an excuse.

"Send a messenger to pacify Aoshan Town!" The middle-aged scribe made a suggestion.

"What, to be appeased?" The lord of the castle was not satisfied with this suggestion.

"Yes, not only can we not send troops, but we can't reprimand, we must appease them and buy us time." The middle-aged scribe said, "Also, city lord, my subordinates must mention that the investment in the army should be greater." ”

"Then do as you say, and send someone with good eyesight." The city lord agreed with the middle-aged scribe's suggestion, as for increasing investment in the army, just kidding, how could he enjoy the money invested in the army. What's more, after the defeat in the war led by himself a few years ago, he has always had opinions about the city guards, how can he increase investment.

After thinking about it, the city lord felt very aggrieved, he was actually constrained by a group of subordinates, he should do something to solve this problem, so he said: "You think about it, or peace talks with Yucheng are also a way, so that the problem can be solved." ”

"The city lord thinks twice, the other party's conditions are too harsh." The middle-aged scribe was excited, and shouted to dissuade him, "Aoshan City can have today, it is the hard work of the old city lord for dozens of pieces, and I hope the city lord will be cautious." ”

"I've made up my mind, you think about it and get a good deal." Hearing the middle-aged scribe mention the old city lord, the young city lord was unhappy, the reason why he purged back then was that these people left by his father were too stubborn, this is not allowed, that is not allowed, if nothing is allowed, what else is he doing as a city lord!

"You can rest assured, as long as we solve the internal problems, we will get back what we have lost. I don't believe it, these mayors, by the way, what kind of mysterious forces can still turn the sky upside down on the territory of Aoshan City! The city lord said angrily, "Okay, I'm tired, you go and prepare!" ”

The middle-aged scribe walked out of the city lord's mansion and sighed in his heart: "Your idea is good, but you only have ideas, and you never implement them." Otherwise, why would Aoshan City fall to this point today. The mysterious force has developed into the town, how long can this mountain city last? ”

At this time, the leader of the mysterious force that he was talking about was sitting in the mayor's room, looking at the upgraded attributes of the power with a happy face.
