Chapter 140: The State of Yan'an
"I am Zhang Tie, the elder brother of the county magistrate of Biancheng County. ”
Outside the north gate of Yan'an County, Zhang Tie's voice reverberated in the night sky.
"Zhang Tie!"
Li Chengye and the others on the north gate city wall were stunned, they were no strangers to the name Zhang Tie, and most of the reasons for Li Chengye's suppression of bandits were due to Zhang Tie.
It was precisely because of Zhang Tie's success in suppressing the bandits that the news came here that Li Chengye sent troops to suppress the bandits.
Letting go of the distracting thoughts in his heart, no matter what, the current Yan'an County still relies on the help of Zhang Tie and others, Li Chengye ordered to the soldiers behind him: "Open the city gate and welcome the friendly soldiers who come from afar." ”
The suspension bridge at the north gate was slowly put down by several soldiers on the city wall, and then the city gate below was also opened by the soldiers under the city.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Zhang Tie turned around and glanced up at the soldiers on the city wall, only to find that the soldiers in Yan'an County were much less than he imagined, and he originally thought that there should be more than 100 people no matter how he said it, but in fact there were less than 80 people, and more than half of them were servants.
After beating the horse into the city, Zhang Tie stayed not far from the city gate, waiting for Yan Beichen and others to enter the city.
When Yan Beichen led the soldiers of the border city and county to the city wall, with the help of the torches on the city wall, Li Chengye and the others finally saw the things on the horses, and they all gasped.
The bloody weapons and equipment were placed on the horses, and the heads dripping blood were hung on both ends of the horses, all of which showed that the bandits in the camp outside the city had been completely wiped out by Zhang Tie and others.
"It's really, what a terrible combat power."
Li Chengye looked at the soldiers of the border city and county who were about to enter the city gate and muttered to himself, "If I have such elite soldiers, why can't I keep one side safe and exterminate the bandits." ”
Wei Yixiao also looked at Yan Beichen and the others below with a surprised expression, but compared to Li Chengye, Wei Yixiao's eyes were much better, not only could he see what was on the horse's back, but also saw the soldier's clothing and condition.
Tsai carefully looked at the soldiers of the border city and county who passed by the city gate, and when the last person disappeared in front of him, Wei Yixiao showed a shocked look on his face.
Taking a deep breath, Wei Yixiao whispered to Li Chengye beside him: "My lord, this is indeed an elite, and it is an extraordinary elite, I don't know if the adults have noticed, none of them carry a stretcher?" ”
Li Chengye was slightly stunned, as if he remembered something, looked at Wei Yi with a straight gaze, and asked in a daze: "Could it be that just now, after taking a closer look, didn't you find the wounded?" ”
Wei Yi smiled and nodded, his expression a little complicated, "The wounded have found a few, but they seem to be all slightly injured." ”
After swallowing a mouthful of spit, Li Chengye was speechless, and silently walked towards the stairs of the city wall, ready to greet Zhang Tie and others, Wei Yixiao and Lu and others followed behind him. 'No wonder they can clean up the entire border city and county, hey! ’
......
"Li Chengye, the county commander of Yan'an County, thank you to all your colleagues who came from afar to relieve me of the crisis in Yan'an."
Under the city gate, Li Chengye bowed to Zhang Tie and the others, and the same was true of Wei Yixiao and the others behind him.
As a county magistrate, Li Chengye bowed in front of Zhang Tie and others, all of which showed that the arrival of Zhang Tie and others was equivalent to a shot in the arm for Yan'an County, which was already in danger.
Although Li Chengye and others lowered their posture, Zhang Tie would not take advantage of the situation, and also returned a salute.
"Lord Li is serious, I am equivalent to the border people of Yan Kingdom, and it is right to help each other, and we have to take care of each other in the future."
The two exchanged a few polite words to each other, and after the polite words that should be said were finished, the two introduced their subordinates to each other, which were all basic etiquette issues.
Of course, the subordinates introduced are all centurions, or right-hand men around them, and ordinary soldiers do not need to be introduced.
After both sides finished their introductions, Zhang Tie asked: "Lord Li, I don't know what the situation in Yan'an County is now?" ”
Li Chengye shook his head, his expression was depressed, and he sighed, "Lord Zhang, I won't tell you, the situation in Yan'an County is really at the time of life and death, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive tomorrow at noon." ”
Although Zhang Tie has no official position, Li Chengye still calls Zhang Tie Lord Zhang, first, Zhang Tie's reputation is outside, and second, it is not difficult to see from the attitude of his subordinates towards Zhang Tie that Zhang Tie is the principal of these soldiers.
The third and most important point is that Yan'an County really needs the help of Zhang Tie and others now to survive the catastrophe in front of them.
It is precisely because of this that the arrogant Li Chengye will call Zhang Tie Lord Zhang.
In the face of Li Chengye's title, Zhang Tie is still full of use in his heart, as the so-called sedan chair carries people, who doesn't like it.
When he heard that he couldn't last until noon the next day, Zhang Tie was also a little surprised, but he didn't expect Yan'an County to reach such a point.
Zhang Tie looked at Li Chengye puzzled, and said in surprise: "Has the situation reached this point?" ”
Sighing again, Li Chengye told Zhang Tie about the current situation in Yan'an County.
Since the failure of Yan'an County's suppression of bandits, the entire Yan'an County has less than 400 troops, divided into four city gates, and there are more than 100 people at each city gate.
From this morning to the afternoon, the bandits outside the city launched two attacks on Yan'an County.
Although the bandits do not have regular siege equipment and cannot attack the city advantageously, Yan'an County also does not have the equipment to defend the city.
However, the bandits still relied on their numerical advantage to bring a lot of casualties to Yan'an County, and withdrew their troops with a weak victory posture.
Now there are less than 300 soldiers in Yan'an County who can still fight, and this is still plus the number of servants, these soldiers are divided into four city gates, with an average of only more than 70 people at each city gate.
The bandits outside the city also suffered a lot of casualties in the two attacks, but there are many bandits, and for this casualty, it is nothing, and they can still continue to attack the city the next day.
Moreover, in the afternoon, some soldiers also saw that the bandits outside the city had begun to cut down trees, and there was no need to think about it, the bandits were preparing to build siege equipment, which is why Li Chengye said that he would not be able to last until noon tomorrow.
The gap in numbers is too big, and as long as the bandits attack a place casually the next day, the soldiers in Yan'an County will not be able to defend it.
After listening to Li Chengye's introduction to the current situation of Yan'an County, Zhang Tie nodded, and secretly scolded in his heart that he deserved it, and looked down on Li Chengye in front of him even more, but there was no expression on his face.
This time, even if Zhang Tie came to solve the matter of the bandit siege, Yan'an County would basically be abolished.
Not only did the soldiers suffer heavy casualties, but they were no longer able to send troops to the Koreans in the future.
Moreover, the people in Yan'an County will definitely be affected to a greater or lesser extent by this bandit riot, and at that time, the entire Yan'an County will be in a state of shortage in both food and economy.
"Well, it's dangerous."
Just as Zhang Tie sighed, suddenly an exclamation came from the city wall.
"My lord, there are many people in the distance outside the city."
When Zhang Tie and the others heard this, they were all stunned, and then thought that it was estimated that the other bandits outside the city gate heard the noise here, and only came over now.
Zhang Tie and Li Chengye each took their subordinates and re-ascended the city wall and looked out of the city wall.
ps: The first change,,Start squeezing rape oil at noon.,Only at night can code words.,The second watch will be a little later.。
And thank you for the reminder of the book friend, yesterday Zhang Tie deterred a mistake in the county order of Yan'an County, thank you (o^^o)
