Chapter 52: Entering the City
In the early morning of the next day, Li Yong gave an order, and the baggage battalion set out from the camp, cooperating with other units of the Cangshan Army, approaching the city of Dayunfu like dark clouds.
The siege war has reached a fever pitch, and the baggage battalions also need to follow closely behind the army, providing chariots, horses, grain and grass and other war supplies at any time.
The place where the baggage camp was encamped, still far from the city wall, Jiang Ming could hear the shouts and drums in front of him, and the black smoke from the burning oil was billowing up, and the sound was terrifying.
"Xiao Wu, don't look at it......" An old man with a dark face patted him on the shoulder and pointed in the direction of Fucheng: "If you are bold, follow Master Li to rush to the forward camp, cut off people's heads, and grab credit......"
"I don't dare...... All I need to earn is a little money. Jiang Ming hurriedly shook his head and ran back to cook porridge.
The baggage battalion has never participated in the charge, the casualty rate is the lowest, and many people who can't survive run to this baggage battalion in order to make ends meet, but every time they win the battle, they don't get any benefit, and after the war, they only have an equal share of property, which is better than nothing.
And Li Yong, as the commander of the baggage battalion, should not have left his post without permission, but the Cangshan army rose too fast, mixed with fish and dragons, and military discipline was not so strict......
Jiang Ming looked at the dozen or so young men of Ping'an Town in front of the baggage camp, and rushed forward with Li Yong with a spear, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"A few bowls of rice porridge, but people can't find the north......"
But these have nothing to do with Jiang Ming, if someone wants to fight by himself, don't blame the enemy's knife for being too fast...... Jiang Ming carried a wooden spoon and began to cook for the logistics soldiers left behind.
Until the evening, Li Yongfang returned to the baggage camp with people covered in blood, and when he went out in the morning, the dozens of soldiers behind him were now less than half......
"Ma, these hard bones are really hard to gnaw......" Li Yong no longer has a kind image in Ping'an Town, his face is full of ferocity, and he scolds and scolds: "Tomorrow Lao Tzu will definitely kill the head of the city and cut them to pieces!" ”
Jiang Ming and the others hurriedly served the food and sent it to Li Yong's tent.
At this moment, a young man with a colorful face walked in with a grass armor spear in his hand.
"Who told you to trespass!" Li Yong was in a bad mood, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted.
Jiang Ming looked over, it was a person who followed Li Yong to join the Cangshan Army in the town yesterday.
The young man threw himself on his knees and cried: "My lord, you said that you led your brothers to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but several died in one day, I don't want to do it, I want to go back to my hometown to farm......"
Jiang Ming sighed in his heart, set up the dishes and chopsticks, and bowed his head with a wooden plate and retreated.
In the tent behind him, Li Yong's cold voice was heard: "Flee from the battle, disturb the hearts of our army, and behead!" Someone ...... coming."
"Ah...... Adults spare their lives...... I was wrong......"
The screams and cries faded away, Jiang Ming had already returned to the room, kneading the dough and steaming steamed buns with a calm face, preparing for the meal early tomorrow morning, but it would be steamed a few less.
"There is always a price to be paid for what you do, whether you anticipate it in advance or not......
……
Five days later.
Jiang Ming was unhurriedly eating a big pot of dishes and drinking thin rice porridge, and watched Li Yong stride forward to the battlefield with a group of people who came from nowhere......
Although it has not been able to capture Dayunfu City for a long time, the entire Cangshan army, including Li Yong, does not seem to be discouraged in the slightest, but has a fierce fighting spirit, and the offensive is becoming more and more fierce.
Because everyone realized that the more difficult this battle was, the more likely it was to be the last tough battle, as long as this city was breached, the remaining territory of Yan Kingdom would be like a lamb to the slaughter, and it would be at hand......
The change of dynasty is close at hand!
And in the baggage camp......
"I guess it will take ten days before this gate can be broken!"
"I'll bet ten copper plates, half a month ......"
"I followed ......"
A group of logistics soldiers who have no ideals squatted together to make bets...... Jiang Ming licked his job, and also joined in, scolding Fang Yu with his lame insight, and judging the situation......
However, before noon, a figure ran back in a hurry, and shouted with a red face:
"The city is broken, the city is broken!"
Jiang Mingteng stood up and looked at the smoke in the distance...... It was as if I could hear the cries coming from inside and outside the city when the city was broken.
It's just that one is cheering, while the other is full of despair......
"The army has entered the city...... Master Li has an order, and the baggage battalion will be pulled out and entered the city! ”
Someone shouted.
The baggage battalion suddenly took action, packed up the car, and slowly headed towards the city.
At the gate of the city, the city wall is still burning with raging fires, full of sword marks and sword holes, and the city gate has been smashed into pieces by warriors or siege equipment, and the banner at the head of the city has been replaced by the banner of the Cangshan army...... The screams of street fighting and killing can be faintly heard in the city.
Jiang Ming stepped on the bricks and gravel all over the ground, stepped on the stumps and broken arms of the dead, and followed the baggage battalion into the city slowly......
"Huh...... What about the kid? An old man suddenly looked left and right and said in surprise.
"This young man, won't he also be enthusiastic and steal people's heads to make meritorious contributions, and he won't cook any meals......" The old man shook his head, stuffed a few sticks of firewood into the stove, and quickly kneaded the dough.
……
In the city, there was chaos, the street fighting between the Cangshan army and the imperial army was still continuing, and the people in the city were panicked and hid at home and did not dare to move.
Jiang Ming walked all the way, and even saw many people in rags, hiding under the eaves and shivering on the wall......
Although many people fled from the Great Cloud Mansion Castle, many others fled from the north, and the tall walls always gave people a sense of confidence and security.
But when the gates were broken, the faith was shattered...... Along the way, ruffians and hooligans can be seen everywhere, taking advantage of the chaos to rush into people's homes and rob houses.
The soldiers are fighting, the people are crying, and the wicked are robbing...... In short, it is a gibberish word, even if the Cangshan Army claims that it does not harm the lives of the people, but this situation will not be stable for a while.
Even in this chaos, the participation of the Cangshan soldiers is indispensable, after all, it is a group of rebel troops, and the slogans are loud and loud, and there may not be many people who really implement them.
There is nothing to do in Ping'an Town, and that's just because there is no oil and water......
"Let's wait and see for two days!"
Jiang Ming didn't immediately rush to the base camp of the Old Snake Gang, after all, the Old Snake Gang had collusion with the rebels, who knows what the situation is in the Old Snake Gang now, whether there are any masters in charge, in case he meets a first-class martial artist, wouldn't it be unpleasant to find it......
He went across the street from the Old Snake Gang's base camp, found a small mansion with several rooms, and hid in the firewood room.
This ordinary couple who live in a bunch of rice shops, with the kung fu of Jiang Ming's second-rate martial artists, the other party can't find out at all, and he can also listen to the corner of the wall by the way to understand the situation in the city......
