Chapter 148: Chaos and coaxing the army to besiege the city

The Liukou beggar army did not arrive, but Chen Fusheng arrived with more than a dozen family members.

"Light life and death, chivalrous, and refusal. If you want to go by yourself, I will stay. ”

"No, the rogue can't even deal with the government, you little girl still refuses to be rogues, I don't know whether to live or die."

"You are the little girl, hum, Chen Fusheng, I have seen through you, a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

"People are not demons, there is only one life, and if you lose it, it will be gone, and it is an irreversible nature to be greedy for life and afraid of death."

"It's like your nature that never gets tired of eating?"

"I'm talking about leaving, what are you doing with your food?"

"Because you know how to eat."

"Shiyu, I'm not joking with you this time. You have to leave today if you don't leave, don't force me to tie you up. ”

"Tie me up, just by you, or by these five big and three rough broken men you brought?"

"Why are you so unreasonable?"

"My fist, my sword is the truth. Even if the rogue comes, I'll be reasonable. ”

"Okay, okay, okay, if you don't leave, then I won't leave, if the rogues come in, they will simply die here together, and they can settle down at peace when they get to the king of Yama."

"What do you say about whether you are dead or not, there is no shadow of the rogue, and you will be in chaos. You better go quickly, so as not to delay your nature. ”

……

The beggar army flowed to Qiandeng County, and most of the wealthy families fled into the county town for fear of being looted and plundered, preparing to resist in the city, and the same was true for the Chen family. Chen's father was worried about Chen Yuci, who was far away in the Gu Niang Temple, so Chen Fusheng took his family and hurried to the Gu Niang Temple, wanting Chen Yuci to go to the county seat to avoid the upcoming human disaster.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yuci was determined to advance and retreat together with the displaced people of Gu Niang Temple, and was unwilling to leave no matter what Chen Fusheng said, even when Chen Fusheng threatened to tie her up to the county seat. She rubbed her pink fists.

Chen Fusheng saw that his sister was soft and hard, and he had no choice, so he had to ask Nie Xiaoqian.

He knew that if there was one more person in this world that his sister was willing to listen to, it would be the girl Nie who wrote a good article.

It's just that in front of Nie Xiaoqian, Chen Fusheng always feels a little ashamed of himself. It took a while to pluck up the courage and euphemistically say what he meant.

According to Chen Fusheng's meaning. It's best for everyone to leave together.

Of course, Nie Xiaoqian declined Chen Fusheng's kindness, but she also expressed her willingness to persuade Chen Yuci.

"Sister, do you want me to leave too?"

"You haven't been back for many days, and it's normal for your family to be worried."

"Didn't Chen Fusheng see me, as long as he went back and reported my condition, my father would naturally be clear."

"Why don't you go back? If you really can't stay at home anymore, come back. But it's crowded here, and when you come back, you don't know if there's a place for you to stay. ”

In fact, for Chen Yuci, it is impossible not to miss her parents, but she is used to being free, and since she practiced martial arts, she has a desire to go all over the world with a sword, unlike Chen Fusheng, who loves her family like Chen Fusheng. Now listening to Nie Xiaoqian's words is reasonable. He hesitated in his heart.

Nie Xiaoqian seemed to be a little moved when she saw Chen Yuci, so she teased along the way. Liven up the atmosphere a little.

"Don't worry, there is a sister in the temple, and didn't my sister invite two people back, they are all masters who can be a hundred."

"Yes, the one who carried the coffin of the bronze spirit on his back was very extraordinary at first glance. The style is about to break through the sky. There is also the beggar, who seems inconspicuous, but Yuci can feel the demeanor of the side exposure, could it be the rumored Su Qier in the rivers and lakes? ”

"Actually, his surname is Hong, and he is the seventh in the family."

"Huh?"

"Hmm. So, no matter what it is, you should take your foodie brother with you quickly, otherwise the last bit of food in the temple will be ruined by him. Alas, this foodie's behavior is really full of tricks, and there are dozens of ways to eat old rice. ”

To put it mildly, Chen Yuci finally agreed to go back to the county with Chen Fusheng. But whether she can come out after going back is up to her.

Nie Xiaoqian was worried that there would be an accident when she went back, such as Chen Yuci suddenly changed her mind halfway, so she hid her ghost body and quietly followed aside, until she watched Chen Yuci enter the county seat of Qiandeng County and reunite with her parents.

The city behind the wall of Qiandeng County is high, and thousands of military households are included, and there are thousands of armed families of local tyrants and squires, as well as hundreds of people in the rivers and lakes to help, and refuse to be co-ordinated behind closed doors.

After all, the beggar army is a rogue and it is impossible to besiege the city.

As long as Qiandeng County can hold on for ten days and half a month, the beggar army will not be able to fight and waste grain and grass, so it will naturally disperse.

Chen Yuci can hide in the county seat, it should be safe.

It's a pity that the county seat is now overcrowded, and it no longer accepts ordinary people and homeless people, otherwise the homeless people living in Guniang Temple and the villagers of Daoxiang Village will be safer in the county seat than in the temple.

And so it went by.

I don't know what kind of imprisoning methods the Chen family imposed on Chen Yuci, Chen Yuci failed to escape.

And the beggar army that has been passed down is closer than one day to Qiandeng County.

On a cold evening, before the last trace of sunset was exhausted, the last few young men left in Daoxiang Village fled for their lives, and fled to the mountains out of breath, Nie Xiaoqian learned that the beggar army had finally fled to Qiandeng County, and surrounded the county seat of Qiandeng County.

When the villagers and displaced people in the villages near the temple heard the news they brought, they were all terrified and panicked.

After a while, dozens of people couldn't hold back, and left the Gu Niang Temple before the night fell.

In their opinion, Gu Niang Temple is just a place for homeless people to live, there are no soldiers and no guards, and once the beggar army arrives, it is a river of blood, so it is better to escape first.

As for the vast land, where to flee and where they can flee, they probably don't have an idea, they just think about the farther away from the beggar army, the better.

Nie Xiaoqian wanted to persuade, but she couldn't.

Because even she herself can't guarantee that she will be able to defend the Gu Niang Temple, she doesn't seem to have a position to persuade her.

It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and since I want to leave, I go with them.

After the dozens of people left. Hundreds more are gone.

Among these people are not only homeless, but also many villagers from several nearby villages.

After nightfall, Nie Xiaoqian told Ping An a few words, and asked Wang Lin and Ning Wentian to help take care of it, and then left Gu Niang Temple.

The stars shone with a cold light, and a pale yellow sickle moon hung in the sky.

Nie Xiaoqian suspended in the air. is drifting towards the county seat.

She wants to see with her own eyes what the beggar army looks like, how many people there are, and whether the county seat can hold it......

When she was still a few miles away from the county seat, she saw the fires all over the mountains and fields on the county seat.

There are a thousand people, and the earth is full of heaven. There are 10,000 people, and there is no boundary.

Countless fires spread along the road and mountains, boundless, and I am afraid that there will be tens of thousands of people.

Getting closer, Nie Xiaoqian was even forced to fall from the air to the ground.

Tens of thousands of people, all of them are united. United, the centripetal force of just staying alive is really amazing.

She suspected that if these tens of thousands of people were enemies of herself and killed her, the huge qi and blood, the murderous aura that was overwhelming like the flooding of the Yellow River, and her little yin soul, even if it withstood the tempering of the spring thunder, could appear in the daytime. are going to be scattered.

It seems that in front of the real army, there are demons and monsters who can ride a thousand. It is also to open up a thousand miles.

At the moment, it seems that the beggar army did not find that her little female ghost was watching from the sidelines, and she could only protect herself.

Before she came, she thought that if the beggar army attacked the city, she might be able to help a little favor, but she was too self-conscious.

Ghost way, ghost way. Sure enough, it was the left side of the door.

Nie Xiaoqian sighed in her heart and had to give up her plan to go into the city to visit Chen Yuci.

I don't know if it was late or the weather was too cold, but the beggar army just surrounded the city and did not attack it.

It's just that although there is no attack. But it is surrounded like an iron bucket, the people outside can't get in, the people inside can't get out, maybe only by inserting wings can they walk.

Nie Xiaoqian has no wings to fly, but with such an army of tens of thousands here, she can't fly there at all.

Unable to fly, she walked on the periphery of the army and looked at it from a distance.

The members of the beggar army were mainly homeless, and because they were not well fed and clothed, they could not survive, and they were used by some well-intentioned people, and finally rose up.

For them, rebellion is not an end, the end is only to live.

Begging, begging, like a beggar, desperate to live.

In fact, they broke through many states and counties, plundered countless inferior gentry and landlords, and robbed a large amount of grain and even gold and silver treasures, but because there were too many people, they still lived as good as pigs and dogs, all of them were yellow and thin, and their clothes were ragged.

Unless you are besieging a city and killing people in your eyes, you are completely dumbfounded, and you can't see life.

Beside the piles of bonfires, men, women and children, sick and disabled, tens of thousands of horses lay all over the ground, but they did not make much noise, and from time to time the crackling and crackling of firewood could be heard. One by one, they seem to be wasting their strength and lives even talking.

Although there are many displaced people I have seen before, and the situation is also miserable, how can I compare to the shocking situation I saw this time.

God doesn't give people a way to live, the local tyrants and gentry in the court don't give people a way to live, and the ordinary people who have their lives left can only work hard.

Natural and man-made disasters arise from this.

Nie Xiaoqian's heart was sour, and she sighed secretly.

She watched quietly from afar until dawn.

The walking corpse-like beggar army, rolling like a tidal wave, is a little more energetic than last night.

Seeing this, Nie Xiaoqian moved farther away.

After eating a thin meal, the beggar army reorganized for nearly an hour, and sorted out tens of thousands of men and horses with weapons.

These tens of thousands of horses were chaotic for a while at the beginning, but they barely became orderly, and they set up military formations under the county seat of Qiandeng County.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the military formation, the war drums sounded, like the muffled sound of countless rolling thunder in the stratus clouds, although it was not agitated, but it was shocking.

As the drums sounded, a roar erupted from the military formation.

The roar was like thunder, soaring into the sky.

Nie Xiaoqian, who was already very far away, suddenly felt that the drum sounded, and a loud roar, as if it was directly knocked on the heart, roared in the heart, and the yin soul trembled and became unstable. She had to retreat for nearly a mile before she felt better.

As she floated in the air and stabilized herself, the beggars began to attack the city.

Countless rogues, like ducks, rushed out and rushed to the city wall.

On the city wall, the defenders opened their bows and released arrows, the sound of swishing was endless, a rain of arrows rushed into the sky, the black pressure overshadowed the scorching sun, and after gliding for a few breaths, the wind fluttered and fell.

The beggar army that rushed to half of it was covered under the rain of swords, and they were hit by arrows one after another, and the blood stained the loess red, the dead and wounded everywhere, and the miserable cries came and went.

The Buddha Bodhisattva Taishang Laojun Guan Gong blessed, and the beggar army who was not hit by the arrow made an uproar, let out a shock, threw down the weapon in his hand and turned around and ran, only hating his father and mother for having a few legs and several pairs of wings.

"General Chen, this city is not easy to fight."

"It seems that this Qiandeng County has been preparing for a long time against us, and it is really difficult to fight."

In the camp tent at the rear of the military formation, looking at the siege vanguard who were frightened back by a few waves of arrows, several leaders of the beggar army all frowned.

"What should I do with that?"

"Attack a few more times, but if you can't do it, you can only surround it."

……

The beggar army, which had no military training and no standard equipment, was like a farce because of its humble simplicity, and they rushed up to the city, and then retreated in an uproar after three or five hundred people died, without any will to fight and no rules at all.

The reason why the states and counties were able to break down three or four times before was actually because those states and counties were either defenseless, or saw that the beggar soldiers were outnumbered, and the defenders fled, and were taken advantage of by the beggar army.

This time, Qiandeng County, which has been prepared for a long time, has also a lot of defenders, is a tough battle, and the untested beggar army is destined to hit its head and break its blood.

The attack of the beggar army, relying on the large number of people, from morning to night, almost did not stop.

But although the siege continued, it was attacked until sunset, and the morale was exhausted without any progress. The city gate of Qiandeng County is still like a mountain, standing tall.

Nie Xiaoqian continued to look from afar and did not leave.

However, after the beggar army had consumed a lot of military strength during the day and exhausted all its morale, it was no longer able to storm the city at night.

It was a very quiet night.

The next day, Nie Xiaoqian thought that the beggar army would be like yesterday, besieging the city endlessly, but she didn't expect that after breakfast, a team of 1,000 people came out of the army, divided into several directions, and dispersed.

The rest of the men and horses did not move, only surrounded the city, and occasionally made noise.

"What are you going to do with so many thousand-man teams?"

Watching the thousand-person team gradually move away, there seemed to be one in the direction of Daoxiang Village, Nie Xiaoqian's heart couldn't help but tremble.

"The siege of the city failed, they are going to the countryside to loot, and Daoxiang Village is in danger."

Guessing the purpose of the thousand-person team going out, Nie Xiaoqian couldn't care about observing the army under the city anymore, and her body moved, and she floated out in an instant.

(Day 3.) (To be continued.) )
