486: I'm worried about Wenqu Xing!
"You-"
Rong Jiu opened his mouth and closed it again.
Forget it, if you want to kill the scarf thief, go and kill it, the scarf thief killed dozens of subordinates of the Rong family, and Rong Jiu also hated the thief so much.
Cheng Qing had already organized all the available manpower, and how to defend the city was handed over to Lang Qianhu to command.
Lang Qianhu and Li Baihu, the two military attachés of the guard, have never experienced such a big battle, and the credit of Shouhong County for killing the long scarf thief, Cheng Qing, a civil servant, may not care too much, but Lang Qianhu and Li Baihu care very much.
Both were in a state of extreme excitement.
Outside the city, General Zhao sat in the rear and commanded the army to attack, a small Hongxian county, the city wall is not three zhang high, it is so difficult to attack.
No matter which direction the rebels attacked, a group of people could emerge from the city walls.
What kind of soldier was that guarding the city, that a woman carrying a spatula went up to the wall!
Fighting between the two armies as a shrew?
It's ridiculous......
But it was such a ridiculous 'soldier' who actually held the onslaught of the rebels.
The soldiers guarding the city on the wall of Hongxian County come from complex sources, and the weapons in their hands are also strange, there are not enough shields, some people prop up half of the door panels, or simply carry the iron pot at home to the city wall and buckle it upside down, it is also invulnerable to knives and guns, and arrows are missed...... After a long attack, General Zhao felt angry at the same time, and at the same time, an absurd idea arose uncontrollably: Throw everything down the spatula, and there is no need to cook after the battle?
The two armies fought, and General Zhao, as the commander-in-chief, could still think about this, which showed that he was really angry and lost his mind.
This battle was fought for more than an hour, and the city walls of Hongxian County were stunned by water, and no place was broken through by the scarf thieves.
Occasionally, there was a certain city wall that seemed to be about to be undefended, and before the scarf thieves entered the city in a big way, they were attacked by the frantic counterattack of the Hongxian city guards.
After more than an hour, the scarf thieves were hoarse and tired, and the corpses of countless companions were pushed up under the city walls.
They shouted to avenge General Wang Shao, and the people of Hongxian County hung a human head at the highest place of the city gate, and a white banner was tied under the head, on which were written a few big characters.
Many scarf thieves are illiterate, but General Zhao can read a few words.
The white banner reads, "General Wang Shao is here...... General Zhao's Heavenly Spirit Gai was all jumping suddenly, and he suddenly thought of the young official standing on the city wall just now.
It's so infuriating.
The Wang family kid is left with a human head?
What do you do when hanging so high, and it's not to make a pig's head.
Such a poisonous trick can only be thought of by the officials of the dog court.
General Zhao's blood was surging, and he called a spy:
"Do you know who is responsible for escorting the relief food?"
"General Hui, an official surnamed Cheng, seems to be a champion ......"
The champion surnamed Cheng is so young, isn't it Cheng Qing, the new champion of this year?
In April this year, the drought in Huainan was not so serious, and the people of Huainan still had the leisure to pay attention to the notices posted by the government.
Nanyi Cheng Qing, the first champion of the six yuan and the first in this dynasty, the folk say that this is the real Wenqu star descending to earth!
General Zhao is also a general who commands tens of thousands of troops, and he suddenly learned that Cheng Qing was in charge of Hongxian at this time, and he was a little panicked.
Wenqu Xing should know astronomy and geography, and know what's strange about marching and arranging, he only knows a few words, and he doesn't know anything about the Four Books and Five Classics, so he can beat Wenqu Xing? !
If General Zhao doesn't know a single big character, and he meets on the battlefield on a narrow road, he is a big old man and a rough talent, no matter what kind of bird champion, it is precisely General Zhao who knows a few words, and when he encounters a champion like Cheng Qing, who occupies the top position of Wei Wenhua, he can't help but feel timid.
In the final analysis, only the ignorant can be fearless, General Zhao is a literate half-bucket of water, and he will be angry when he hears Cheng Qing's name.
Cheng Qing aroused the lack of confidence in General Zhao's heart......
General Zhao's face was not good, and he always felt that even if he attacked Hongxian, there was still a Longtan tiger's den waiting for them-
"Withdraw your troops!"
"Withdraw your troops, retreat to five miles away from Hongxian County!"
……
The turban thief under the city wall blew the trumpet.
Cheng Qing was surprised, retreating so quickly?
Lang Qianhu was also surprised.
I thought that the first wave of the turban thieves would be fierce.
Everyone understands the truth of one blow, and then three times and exhaustion.
In fact, if the scarf thief has to hold on for another half an hour, the defense of Hongxian County will be tired...... Lang Qianhu's brain is hot, if he has 5,000 soldiers in his hands, he will take advantage of the victory to pursue, chase out of the city and kill the scarf thief's ass urine.
What a pity!
These temporary soldiers in Hongxian County can defend the city in place, but they can't take them to the open area to fight!
"Master Cheng, look ......"
"The scarf thieves fled from Huai'an City, and they attacked the city directly without resting all the way, and the thieves were not in the best condition, and now they naturally have to pay the price for their light enemies."
The soldiers on the city wall collapsed to the ground tiredly, slowly coming back to their senses.
Did they really hold Hongxian?
I don't know who broke out in cheers first, it was very infectious, and the whole Hongxian County was jubilant.
Cheng Qing is not good at discouraging everyone's enthusiasm, but she believes that the scarf thief will not give up like this.
Because Hongxian is mainly defensive, if the scarf thieves are not killed, how can the army of thieves retreat?
This is just the beginning.
Cheng Qing thought so, but seeing that Rong Jiu was secretly happy, Cheng Qing secretly smiled.
She pushed herself too hard.
Even if it's just a start, that's a good start.
Hongxian crushed the scarf thieves to death in morale!
Before the second wave of attacks by the scarf thieves was launched, Cheng Qing was busy directing everyone to clean up the battlefield.
The "weapons" that can be picked up under the city walls will definitely be picked up.
But that would have to wait for the scarf thief to retreat before he could act.
At present, the casualties are still counted, and Cheng Qing, who can be saved, will try his best to save them.
He Wan and Xiaopan, the two former masters and servants, are the logistics team and medical team of Hongxian County, and with them leading a group of women and children in Hongxian County to do things, Cheng Qing really has a lot less worries.
Takeji is still alive.
Some of the Cheng family's family members were injured and not dead.
The same is true of the guards of the Maoguo Mansion.
Even the guards led by Li Baihu and Lang Qianhu died very little.
Cheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Fighting head-on with the turban thieves, the 'temporary soldiers' in Hongxian County, which has a complex source, will definitely not have an advantage, but as long as the turban thieves can't attack the county seat, relying on the geographical advantage, the casualties in Hongxian County will not be too many.
The slightly higher number of deaths were the 'soldiers' recruited from among the displaced people.
There is no way to do this, Cheng Qing let the exiles into the city for a few days, and the exiles can indeed fill their stomachs, but the physical deficit cannot be completely made up in just a few days.
Even if their physical strength is not enough, the displaced people who have been recruited are still fighting bravely to kill the enemy.
Two of the women who rushed up to the wall, holding the spatula and the thief, also died.
"The two who died were widows, and when there were no men in the house, they rushed up to the wall themselves."
Feng Dianshi sighed.
These two widows, who don't go out of the door on weekdays, close the door and guard their children, but they didn't expect to have such courage!
Cheng Qing said in a deep voice: "Good students will restrain for them, and this official will definitely ask for a seal for them." ”
What is there to promote if you are widowed and do not marry, if you want to preach, you should also preach the courage of women to defend the city and protect their families!
