Chapter 55: Out of the City
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then looked out of the city again.
Pingyi Bo Yang Xian'an, strictly speaking, has some relationship with Xu Yi.
When the two were young, they had an experience of being playmates with each other.
Of course, it is said that they are playmates of each other, but in fact, Yang Xian'an, who is a few years older, takes care of Xu Yi everywhere.
Yang Xian'an's father, Yang Zhi, has been under the tent of Xu Yi's uncle Zhao Qing since the fifth year of Zhengde.
He is also one of Zhao Qing's most trusted generals with foreign surnames.
In the fifteenth year of Zhengde, the Huns frequently knocked on the gates.
The general Zhao Qing was ordered to lead a large army to attack the Xiongnu.
In the winter of that year, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Xiongnu broke out in the largest battle in Mobei.
It is known in history as the decisive battle of Mobei.
The Great War lasted all winter.
It was not until January of the following year that the Great Zhou Dynasty won the final victory by a narrow margin.
After this battle, the general Zhao Qing and the ninety-six sons of the Zhao family were all shrouded in horse leather.
Yang Zhi, who was one of Zhao Qing's most trusted generals with foreign surnames, naturally did not survive.
In February of the following year, the carriage escorting the souls of the fallen heroes arrived in Chang'an City.
Emperor Zhengde was outside Chang'an City, posthumously sealing the soul of the country.
Yang Xian'an's father, Yang Zhi, was also promoted two levels from Pingyi County to Pingyi and became Pingyi Bo.
Due to Yang Zhi's death in battle, the title of Earl of Pingyi was naturally inherited by his eldest son Yang Xian'an.
Xu Yi stared at the crowd of victims outside the city.
I didn't say anything for a long time.
It's just that the palm of his hand silently clenched the handle of the Abyss Slashing Knife.
"General Rong."
Xu Yi turned to look at Rong Pingchuan and asked again, "How much porridge did Uncle Pingyi put in today?" ”
Rong Pingchuan didn't dare to hide it and hurriedly replied: "Back to my lord, there are about more than 10,000 people." ”
For more than 100,000 people, only more than 10,000 people were given food rations.
This can no longer be described in many words.
If this is true, this is simply a loss of conscience.
"Okay."
"Good."
Xu Yi said hello twice, and then spoke again: "Find a place and let us out of the city." ”
The wood is already in the boat, and no matter how angry you are, you can't solve the problem.
"Out of ...... Out of town? Rong Pingchuan couldn't believe it.
Outside the city, there are not just the victims, there are also countless filth.
And those filths are often the most prone to disease.
On weekdays, even if it is disaster relief, those trading houses only hire ordinary people and send their families there.
"Yes, out of town."
Xu Yi nodded in affirmation.
If you don't go out of the city, you will never really understand the situation, and he must take this risk.
"Do you have to go out of the city?"
An unnatural look flashed on Rong Pingchuan's face, as if Xu Yi's request made him particularly embarrassed.
"If you don't go out of the city, how can you find out about the situation of the victims on the spot?"
"How can I get disaster relief if I don't go out of the city?"
Xu Yi's eyes became more and more determined when he looked at Rong Pingchuan.
"Since the adults must go out of the city, it is difficult for subordinates to stop them."
"But please bring two hundred soldiers with you, just in case there is any accident."
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Rong Pingchuan sighed deeply, and then waved his hand and ordered his lieutenant to go and order two hundred elite soldiers.
People who are about to starve to death are either so numb that they can't breathe.
Or crazy enough to make the world stunning.
After guarding Xuanping Gate for so long, Rong Pingchuan has seen too many disaster victims, too many and too many things.
Among them, there are even people who frantically attack soldiers and merchants.
The deepest impression is that the man who gave porridge in a certain trading house left the team alone due to severe stomach pain.
When the guy was found again, there was only half of the man left.
After a while, Rong Pingchuan's deputy came over with a strong man.
Rong Pingchuan stretched out his hand and introduced: "My lord, this person's name is Gu Dengyun, and he is the most elite hundred households under the command of the last general. ”
The military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty is a team of five people, and the leader is called the captain.
What are the two armies, and the one who is the leader is called the chief.
Five tithes are tun, and the leader is called tun chief.
The two tuns are uncles, and the one who is the leader is called the uncle.
At the level of Bo, if there are more than 100 soldiers and less than 500, there is another name, that is, 100 households.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then walked down the city gate.
At the foot of the gate stood two hundred heavily armed soldiers.
From the momentum of these soldiers, it is not difficult to see that these soldiers are all elites in the army.
It can be seen from this how afraid Rong Pingchuan is of Xu Yi dying outside the Xuanping Gate he guarded.
"Let's go!"
Xu Yi looked around, nodded slightly in his heart, and then waved his hand.
With the support of two hundred elite soldiers, he walked to the city gate.
Dozens of gatekeepers were already on standby.
Seeing everyone coming, he used the rope to slowly open the heavy city gate.
In a short time, the crowd walked out of the city gates.
As soon as I reached the moat, the tall drawbridge slowly lowered.
As the suspension bridge slowly lowered, the black and oppressive victims in the distance began to move slowly.
The distance was too far for Xu Yi to see their faces clearly.
But the slowly moving body is very similar to the zombie movies that Xu Yi watched in later generations.
At this time, the movements of the victims are not much different from the zombies in the movie.
At the same time, the city wall towers, accompanied by the slow lowering of the drawbridge.
Countless soldiers were as serious as if they were facing a great enemy.
The bow and arrow on his back arrived in his hand even earlier.
Bending the bow and arrows, aiming at the people at the end of the drawbridge.
If only that were it, on some of the sunken horse faces of the city walls.
The quaint and heavy bed crossbows were placed early.
At this time, those bed crossbows were even more prepared with thick crossbow arrows early.
The crossbow arrows were still aimed at the people at the end of the drawbridge.
The suspension bridge is about to be finished.
Gu Dengyun walked up to Xu Yi and said solemnly: "My lord, we'd better set off now." ”
"If the drawbridge is completely lowered, we have too few people, and we are afraid of accidents."
Xu Yi glanced at the victims who were slowly moving in front of him, nodded and said calmly, "Okay." ”
Gu Dengyun replied yes.
Running quickly to the edge of the drawbridge, he yelled at the two hundred elite soldiers: "Array! ”
In an instant, two hundred soldiers instantly dispersed, forming a squad of twenty tens.
The spear-wielding man holds the spear diagonally in his hand, with a sword-bearer interspersed between every two spearmen.
It's like a battle formation.
The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty put up a battle formation against the people of the Great Zhou!
Just because they're disaster victims! There's a chance they'll storm the city!
Xu Yi looked at those soldiers calmly, not knowing what to think in his heart.
"Let's go!" Gu Dengyun pulled out his waist knife and shouted.
With Gu Dengyun's order, the soldiers at the front stepped on the suspension bridge that had not been completely placed without hesitation.
"Your Excellency, please." When the hundred people arrived, Gu Dengyun trotted in front of Xu Yi and said respectfully.
Xu Yi nodded, pressed one hand on the handle of the abyss sword, and slowly followed the soldier onto the drawbridge.
Xu is atmosphere is too powerful, and Zhao Shou, who is beside Xu Yi, pulled out his waist knife early.
Dead protection by Xu Yi's side.
