Chapter 394: It's Now
Looking at Ling Tianhan's eyes, with a cold killing intent, Zhu Xinghe also stepped forward and gently pulled Ling Tianhan's hand: "Let's come now, it's not too late." Outside the city of Cheongju, aren't there still thousands of displaced people? ”
The scout took a general look, and there were already about 3,000 homeless people outside Qingzhou City.
But in fact, most of the displaced people are not outside Cheongju City, especially since the heads of the three people were hung at the city gate, the hearts of the displaced people are also afraid.
They turned to the largest town after Cheongju City: Hongyuan Town.
Hongyuan Town is twenty miles behind Cheongju City, and it is the largest town in this radius of hundreds of miles. Originally, the town, like Cheongju City, would never accept any homeless people into the town.
However, after all, Hongyuan Town is different from Qingzhou City, which is heavily guarded, but Hongyuan Town has nothing.
The mayor's order couldn't stop these almost crazy homeless people at all. So after the three people died, the homeless people flocked to Qingyuan Town. Qingyuan Town is now powerless to resist, and in a small town, it actually accommodates an astonishing number of homeless people, tens of thousands of people!
The scout said that the mayor of Qingyuan Town had also thought about asking Cheongju City for help, after all, the number of displaced people in their town had almost reached its limit.
But the city guard of Qingzhou City was closed, and even the mayor of Hongyuan Town had no way to enter Qingzhou City.
For a moment, the situation was desperate.
Zhu Xinghe also sighed that this scout trained by Ling Tianhan was able to find out so much news in such a short time, and at night!
Sure enough, on the battlefield, Ling Tianhan's ability was enough to deter everyone.
This scout was the first to come back because he was going to find out the news outside Cheongju City. The other two scouts took some time.
This time, Ling Tianhan sent out three scouts, but none of them were discovered. It can be seen that Qingzhou City looks heavily guarded, but in fact, it may still be vulnerable in the face of the army trained by Ling Tianhan.
After seeing that these three scouts came back safe and sound, Lian Da Zhenhong couldn't help but shake his head: "Although it is said that you are a well-trained general, the Qinglou in Qingzhou is so high, and there is not even a scout who has issued Aijue!" If all the defenders in your city are like this, I am afraid that once your border is broken, the enemy army will be able to drive straight in! If it weren't for you Ling Tianhan sitting at the border, you Eastern Yuan Dynasty, I'm afraid it would have been gone a long time ago! ”
Although what he said was very shameless for the people of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Xinghe had to admit that Da Zhenhong was telling the truth.
Ling Tianhan also sighed: "The more the situation between the DPRK and China is like this, the more sober we must be. ”
And there are very few sober people in the court.
Zhu Xinghe looked at the scout who was running towards them, knowing that what Ling Tianhan had done today might be a beginning that could make the people in the court sober.
Although he was exiled for many years, his thoughts about the Eastern Yuan Dynasty were incomparable to many people in the court.
The two scouts came and saw the situation on the city tower very clearly.
Below the tower, there were not many defenders. However, the gates are closed, and it may take some time to break open.
There were about three hundred defenders on the tower tonight, but there were five times as many garrisons stationed in the tower. As soon as they began to attack the city gates, the defenders stationed in the towers were the first to react. Then the defenders of the entire Cheongju City will come to assemble.
However, according to the scouts, the defenders of Cheongju Castle were disorganized. Even during such times, they always drank and had fun at night. According to the rules of the court, if the city gate is attacked, the time for the whole army to come to support cannot exceed a quarter of an hour.
According to the scout, the defenders of this Cheongju City will definitely not reach this time, and they may even have two quarters of an hour to break through this city gate!
For Ling Tianhan's well-trained Zhenyuan army, this time was completely sufficient.
In addition to the first time, the other people thought that the scouts had also heard that there might be less than 3,000 defenders stationed in the city tower.
These defenders, who were supposed to show up at the most critical time, were afraid of the outcasts. Their military discipline is so lax that they can leave their posts without permission. There seems to be a default rule among them: as long as it is not the day they are on duty, they can leave the tower. Moreover, there was a group of about several hundred people among them, who had already left Cheongju City through the North City Gate, and it was said that they were going to a town on the very edge of Cheongju to pick up an important person.
The scout didn't find out who the important person was, but it made Zhu Xinghe curious.
What kind of character is it that he needs to use hundreds of guards in Cheongju to pick him up?! Especially at this crucial moment, if this "important person" did not contribute to Cheongju, he would really be damned.
But now is not the time to be curious about this, if you see the Cheongju Castle Guard, all this will naturally be clear.
Seeing that it was getting darker and deeper at night, the meat was cooked.
Ling Tianhan broke a piece and handed it to Zhu Xinghe: "Eating out will be a loss to you." ”
What he said made Zhu Xinghe embarrassed.
She took a big bite of the meat, and found that it was not unpalatable, so she nodded again and again: "This is already very good." Although I used to be in the palace, I ate better when I got to Princess Yongle. When I was in the Huanyi Bureau, I occasionally ate the last meal but didn't have the next meal, and the master's words, it is common for the entire Huanyi Bureau to be hungry. You don't have to care about me so much, I don't care about anything when I'm out and about. ”
It was not the first time that Zhu Xinghe had discovered that Ling Tianhan had such an idea, so he deliberately explained it to Ling Tianhan.
Ling Tianhan bowed slightly, and then his heart was a little calm.
After eating, Zhu Xinghe slept for a while. Sure enough, it was when I felt the most sleepy, and I was woken up by the wind chimes. The sky was already a little white, and the soldiers around him had already gotten up, and Ling Tianhan looked like he hadn't slept all night.
Zhu Xinghe also sat up, rubbed his eyes, and Ling Tianhan handed her a freshly wrung out handkerchief: "Ah Xing, are you ready?" ”
Fang Cai still felt sleepy, but at this moment, Zhu Xinghe woke up in an instant, got up with a grunt, and wiped his face with the handkerchief: "Ready!" Is it now? ”
"Yes."
Ling Tianhan looked in the direction of Qingzhou City, his eyes were gloomy: "It's now!" It's time to enter Cheongju City. ”
