Chapter 157: Visiting and Wailing
Then, as Qian Yu said, the Hu people kept harassing all night, and Liu Shijun also organized people to keep fighting back.
Aunt Li was delivering food to the soldiers on the city wall vigil, and the meal was the moon cake she had rushed out overnight.
After experiencing the battle during the day, Aunt Li's face was a little pale, after all, she was in her fifties, and when she encountered such a change, she was just pale, which was already very good.
However, Aunt Li kept smiling, she knew that compared to her own fear, the pressure on the hearts of these soldiers defending the city was undoubtedly greater, because most of them were also people from Qingfeng County.
Due to the urgency of the situation, in order to defend the county seat, Bao Xiren could only temporarily recruit some young people, after a short training, and then put them into the battlefield.
The scene of the Hu people running together, Aunt Li was so frightened that she could not do it when she heard it when she was in the shop and the noodles, and these people had been fighting the enemy on the city wall.
Although stuffing their heads into the Tibetan Soldier Cave and trembling all over their bodies cannot be regarded as fighting, Aunt Li stubbornly believes that as long as they are not scared away, they are real heroes.
"Come, come, eat bread, eat bread, don't you eat dinner? Look at you, in order to deal with the Hu barbarians, you can't eat, you are all good. ”
Aunt Li's words made these recruits very ashamed, those who participated in the battle at dusk were all people with swords and guards, and the only ones who belonged to the local natives of Qingfeng County were Yue Fei and Da Xiong.
The people of Qingfeng County used to look down on Yue Fei and others, and these guys were lazy in addition to bullying the weak.
The most hateful thing is that they also turned the place where everyone in the south of the county often set up stalls into their own territory, and forcibly collected fees, which is so bad that they are at home.
But today, when everyone thought that the catastrophe was coming, they stood up, especially Yue Fei, who only led five people, and dared to charge against hundreds of Hu people, and Da Xiong even single-handedly burned the other party's tower. Thinking about my performance again, I can't even lift my head!
I don't know if it's an illusion, when they think about it like this, they are a lot less afraid in their hearts, and some of them are short-tempered, and they can't wait to go out and fight with the Hu people immediately to show their heroism!
On the other side, Aunt Cai reconciled the guy who came again, and also brought all kinds of dishes and food to comfort the soldiers, no matter how the other party performed, it was all praise.
These soldiers quickly turned from fear to shame and pride, and some even took the initiative to run to the city and release a few cold arrows, which surprised Jiang Feng, who had been paying attention to the movement here.
Jiang Feng was ordered to come to Qingfeng with Liu Shijun this time, originally to do other things, but he didn't expect to be inexplicably involved in such a war.
In the face of an army of 100,000, he never believed that only a small county town could block the opponent's attack, it was nothing more than dying sooner or later.
However, Jiang Feng was not afraid, as early as when he succeeded his father and became the captain of the first team of guards with a knife, he was ready to sacrifice at any time.
The only thing that makes him curious is Qian Yu, this guy's magic is unbelievable, whenever he thinks that the other party has reached the limit, he can always come up with new tricks.
Now, he even knows how to command battles, and he has a unique insight into calming morale.
Although Jiang Feng was not optimistic about holding the city, he was confident that he could hold out for a while. Knowing that the Hu soldiers were approaching the city, Liu Shijun immediately issued a 100,000 convening order, and in only three days, he recruited nearly 1,000 nearby Yipin guards with knives.
Most of these people are professionally trained, and there is absolutely no problem defending the city as the main force.
However, because of a series of problems such as the width of the city wall, the division of troops day and night, and the fatigue of the soldiers themselves, a thousand people are definitely not enough, which requires the cooperation of the local people in Qingfeng County, and as for the logistics support, they can only rely on these people.
But when Jiang Feng saw the Hu people attacking, these temporarily trained soldiers, shrunk together and didn't dare to show their heads, his heart was cold, if it was a person with a knife guard, he would have cut off their heads to show the public, but they were just the people of Qingfeng County, and he had no power to move the other party.
Moreover, Jiang Feng knew that this was the most normal performance of people who had never experienced war, and if they wanted to turn them from ordinary people to qualified soldiers, they would not even think about it for half a year, and even half a year might not be successful.
The most difficult thing is how to give these people the courage to face the Hu army. Courage has always been his biggest headache, and the only way he knows is to make an example of the monkey.
The effect of killing chickens and setting an example to monkeys is generally only useful during training, and once a war starts, it is likely to have the opposite effect, and in the worst case, it will cause mutiny.
So when Liu Shijun handed over the task of inspiring the morale of the army to him, he immediately put forward all kinds of requirements, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qian Yu.
Qian Yu also proudly said that he didn't have to do such a simple task at all, and his two apprentices could completely handle it.
Who is Qian Yu's apprentice Jiang Feng knows, it's just two women who cook, can they be more powerful than themselves?
Jiang Feng's disbelief didn't last long, and the facts told him that Qian Yu was always right. Of course, right or wrong also depends on people, such as Bai Jingfei.
Bai Jingfei held four chicken legs and wanted to stuff them in his mouth, but his hands didn't obey him at all.
"Aunt Cai, you don't know, those Hu people are too powerful. Those arrows, whizzing, swishing, almost, almost! Woowoo woo ......"
The mournful cry resounded through the head of Qingfeng County, it can really be said that they were sad and listened to tears, many soldiers were already not afraid, but when they heard Bai Jingfei's miserable howl, their eyes with some brilliance turned dim again.
Aunt Cai's movements were sluggish, Qian Yu asked her to ease everyone's hearts, she came, and she did a good job, didn't see a lot of scared guys who peed their pants, had they already grabbed the long knife in their hands?
Who knew that at such a critical moment, Bai Jingfei's cry sounded, and directly made her efforts fold, if it weren't for the fact that this guy usually has a lot of money, she would have kicked him to the ground earlier, and returned the number two person in the county, what a fucking shame!
What's worse is that his cry, the attention of all the soldiers is instantly focused on this side, and if one is not handled well, it is likely to cause a total collapse.
Aunt Cai tried her best to twitch the corners of her mouth to keep her face smiling: "Lord Bai is not afraid, aren't you okay?" It can be seen that the accuracy of the Hu people's bow and arrow is not so good. To be old, the most powerful thing about the Hu people is only their war horses, through my master's clever plan, they have no advantage, as long as we pick up arms, we will definitely be able to beat them. ”
Cao Renxian on the side was also frightened by the danger during the day, at this moment he was leaning against the wall and muttering to himself, not knowing what to mutter, hearing Bai Jingfei's cry, his soul instantly returned to his body, and his spirit was much better.
The two have fought from childhood to adulthood, he doesn't want to be underestimated by the other party, and if he can fight back, he must fight back, so that he can show his tallness.
Who knew that he was just about to speak, Bai Jingfei's crying stopped, and he asked strangely: "I'm afraid?" When did I get scared? ”
Aunt Cai, including all the soldiers, was stunned, thinking of Bai Jingfei's jumping temperament, which one is this guy singing?
Aunt Cai asked suspiciously: "You're not afraid, so why are you crying?" ”
Bai Jingfei suddenly showed a look of sudden realization: "You said just now? Aren't I crying for Brother Cao Renxian?
You don't know, he was almost killed by Hu Ren's bow and arrow twice, and he was so scared that he couldn't even cry, we are good brothers, and it is right to help each other. Don't look at it, it's not a good thing to be scared by the enemy, is it necessary to be so curious? ”
Cao Renxian saw that all the soldiers looked at him as if they were laughing, and his pale face suddenly turned black into the bottom of the pot.
