Chapter 120: Liuzhou City full of life.
Liuzhou's support arrived quickly.
Under the cover of Wang Ye, Qin Guogong agreed to Hong Lie to lead the team, but at the same time he also sent the generals of another faction, and the two of them jointly brought 5,000 Xuanjia elites and took two military ships from the port to the south gate of Liuzhou.
The time to arrive is almost noon, according to intelligence, at this time period, even those living corpses covered by black fog will find a cool place to hide, and it is very rare to attack people against the sun, but even so, the gate of Liuzhou is too lively?
Hong Lie and another general named Wu You stared blankly at the bustle in front of them, feeling that something was not right.
At this time, a crowd was almost formed at the city gate of Liuzhou, countless shirtless young men carrying hoes and wooden backs, lining up at the city gate under the scorching sun, soldiers were stationed in two rows at the city gate, vigilantly facing a far away position, those hidden black fog, and these bare-chested people seemed to be very relaxed, not worried at all that the living corpses in the distance would pounce.
"Lord Zhou" Wu You looked at the fat man who greeted them a little politely: "Who are these men?" ”
"Oh, they're all farmers who just came back from farming." Zhou Haitao wiped his sweat and said: "Your Excellency, you also know that now there are living corpses everywhere outside, which is very unsafe, and this adult has stipulated that the young and strong who are engaged in agriculture can only go up the mountain to farm in the early morning, and they have to return to Liuzhou City at noon." ”
"Eh" Wu You and Hong Lie were stunned for a moment, it sounded like they were quite reluctant, but how did they listen to it.
"No, it's now. Can you still go out of the city to farm? ”
According to the description in Mu Hongqing's letter, these living corpses are not small, and their movements are agile, the key is that their mouths and nails are highly poisonous, although the individual is not strong, it is a very dangerous demon, even if it is the elite of the black dragon, they dare not release it at will to fight with these living corpses in the field, and now this Liuzhou prefect actually dares to let people go out of the city to farm?
"The general said this strangely." Zhou Haitao said with a smile: "If you don't farm, what will we eat later?" ”
Wu You: "."
Be. Does that make sense?
"Queue, into town!"
This Liuzhou City is weird!
Wu You secretly observed everything, the Duke of Qin sent himself instead of just letting Hong Lie, a stupid big man, come and not want to participate in the messy things planned by the Emperor of the Xiao family, according to the Grandpa Guo, he always felt that Liuzhou was not as simple as Wang Ye said.
It seems that this is indeed the case, this Liuzhou. Something is wrong!
The silver-armored soldiers at the door were a little too professional.
According to Zhou Haitao, it was a temporary recruitment of soldiers in order to deal with the situation of this living corpse.
The matter is urgent, and the prefect has the responsibility of defending the territory, and it is reasonable to temporarily recruit soldiers, but these soldiers are temporarily recruited?
Wu You looked at those soldiers who stood straight, standing like a javelin, the scorching sun was noon, but his eyes were as divine as eagles, a figure did not look tall, but his momentum was completely like a veteran of a hundred battles!
He was sure of this, these soldiers all had the kind of bloody air that only veterans have, and they were obviously battle-hardened soldiers, and they were elite.
In the face of his five thousand Xuanjia guards, a mere few hundred soldiers, the momentum reaction given was not false at all, and he even had a feeling that if he let the two armies face each other, the other party would not necessarily lose.
These soldiers. Definitely not a temporary recruitment!
After entering the city, the feeling that something was wrong became heavier and heavier.
The first is the atmosphere.
He had been fighting in the north for many years, and he had seen what the people who had been persecuted by demons were like, and the horror caused by the living corpses in Mu Hongqing's letter to ordinary people was definitely greater than any demon he had seen before.
After all, devouring your wife and children alive, and then making your wife and children stand up and become that kind of monster, the horror caused by this double blow, few people can not collapse.
But this Liuzhou
Most of the people he saw were full of spring breeze, with smiles on their faces and hope in their eyes
To be honest, this kind of spirit is in a safe place like the capital, and it is rare for ordinary people to see this kind of spirit, after all, most of them are tired of life, and most of them are sad.
Then there's the issue of food.
As soon as these big men who were outside farming entered the city, they walked in the direction of South Street, and they were on the same road as the government where Wu You and others went.
Wu You was satisfied with this arrangement, after all, he and others came to support, and the soldiers traveled long distances, so they naturally had to solve the problem of food and clothing first.
But the food seemed too good.
Thick rice porridge, snow-white steamed buns, a piece of meat fried until golden brown with a meaty aroma, and then a refreshing pickle, let the soldiers eat it and eat it with their mouths full of oil.
The key is that these things are not specially prepared for them as soldiers, Wu You and Hong Lie can see clearly, those men who are farmers, after returning to the city, are also uniformly arranged to eat here, and the standard is exactly the same as that of the soldiers, they all have meat and porridge!
"Is the food in Liuzhou so sufficient?"
Wu Youfa felt that something was wrong, according to the letter of the Nanming Mansion, on the third day of the disaster, the governor Zhou Hanyang forcibly requisitioned all the grain in the city, and distributed it in wartime according to the military law of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the ordinary people in the city were almost a bowl of gruel every day.
This is a matter of course in Wu You's opinion, after all, food must be limited to supply people on the front line of the battle to stabilize the morale of the army.
The key is that even with such savings, when I asked for help in the letter, I specially asked to bring more food into the support, how could it be as extravagant and wasteful as Liuzhou? And the people still serve meat?
"It's okay" Zhou Fatzi replied while drinking porridge: "Last year's bumper harvest in Jiangnan, the people in the countryside have grain in stock, and at this time, when they encounter a great disaster, those living corpses will not spoil the food, as long as you lead the team to search in the countryside, this year's food will naturally not be worried." ”
Wu You frowned when he heard this, but this is the truth, living corpses kill people, don't waste food, the people die a lot, and the vacated grain is more, Zhou Hanyang of Nanming Mansion fought this idea, but the problem is that although there is food in the countryside, there are more and more living corpses that can act during the day, and it is very risky to send troops to the countryside to collect food.
Zhou Hanyang said in the letter that after the grain was looted in more than a dozen towns around the city, he did not dare to search far away, after all, the defenders were precious and could not be damaged, but looking at the posture of Liuzhou, could it be that the energy source continued to bring in grain from outside?
"What kind of meat is this, it's really fragrant!" Hong Lie on the side enjoyed eating, and his favorite food for a military general like him who practiced physical strength was this chewy red meat.
"Worm meat." The fat man said as he ate.
"What's that?" Hong Lie and the surrounding soldiers were stunned for a moment, looked at the meat in their hands, and took a closer look, they really looked like a worm.
"This is a specialty of Liuzhou." The fat man said with a smile: "Don't worry, adults, it's safe to eat, we've been eating it for a month, and it's very energy-nourishing." ”
"Really?" Hong Lie and the others were stunned, they had never heard of it, there are still such specialties in Jiangnan, not to mention such fat insects, are there many in Jiangnan?
Wu You also frowned and looked at the insect, the meat was fragrant and the leather was firm, when did Jiangnan have such a thing? Looking at those people, each of them has one, this amount is afraid that it is a lot, if this kind of thing is produced with energy, it is a good military ration, and the Great Jin Dynasty is rich in products, but in the end there is still a shortage of meat, but to raise elite soldiers, you have to ask for meat.
There is this kind of thing, if it is not toxic and can be mass-produced, it will be promoted a long time ago
This is definitely not an old species in Jiangnan.
There were too many doubts, so that Wu You couldn't figure it out for a while, and he felt that he had to reply to Lord Guogong quickly.
After nearly half an hour, the soldiers ate their bellies and rested in the shade of the trees with great satisfaction, watching the people come and go, gradually relaxing, at first everyone thought that it would be an extremely bad environment, but they did not expect the environment to be better than expected.
"Can the general eat?" Zhou Haitao said with a smile: "If you eat well, I will arrange for the general's soldiers to rest, and if the general is tired, he can also go to the government to rest." ”
"Thank you for your hospitality." Wu You smiled and drank another bowl full of porridge, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I don't know where the prefect has gone?" ”
"Oh." Zhou Haitao hurriedly said: "The prefect is now distributing farmland outside, after all, I don't know how long this situation will be deadlocked, the prefect said that he should take precautions, and he can't just count on the countryside to scavenge grain, so he actively organized the people to reclaim the nearby fertile land." ”
"The prefect has a long-term vision and admires it." Wu Weitou, no matter what means are used, can make Liuzhou have such a comfortable situation, and can be prepared for danger in such a comfortable situation, he is indeed an extraordinary person.
But the more this happens, the more you have to guard against it.
"I don't know if I can see the prefect today, there is something important to discuss with the prefect."
"Oh?" Zhou Haitao's eyes moved when he heard this, and he suddenly smiled: "The prefect is busy with affairs, and it may be late when he comes back, the general has worked all the way, it is better to rest early tonight, if there is anything important, you can also let the lower officials convey it." ”
"Oh, it's okay to pass it on." Wu You wiped the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "I am coming to help Liuzhou now, according to the instructions of Qin Guogong, I should take over the defense of Liuzhou, and I also ask the prefect to come back as soon as possible and hand over the defense of Liuzhou!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became a little cold, Hong Lie frowned and looked at Wu You, this old boy is planning to make trouble.
Liuzhou's current armament is obviously arranged by the kid surnamed Chen, and you want to pick peaches when you come up?
But he didn't stop it, after all, he was also very curious, how did Chen Qing's current military defense forces come about-
On the other hand, Chen Qing was constantly testing the problem of the Daqingshan Enchantment with Chen Ying, and after the Qinglong Enchantment was activated, it was more stable than ideal, which made Chen Qing feel a little more at ease.
This enchantment can suppress the ghost baby for a thousand years, and the stability should be good, but it is not enough to face the next situation.
Don't look at the situation in Liuzhou now that the situation is getting better and better, the Tiger Guards are becoming more and more confident in the face of living corpses, and that's because the high-level living corpses have not yet been released.
Those varieties that have been trapped in the formation for hundreds of years will not stay in the formation all the time, and now that the living corpses devour each other will also evolve rapidly, it will only become more and more difficult in the future.
Today's Qinglong Enchantment can defend against ordinary living corpses, but if you want to envelop the entire Qinglong Mountain, defend all living corpses in a large area, and ensure the safety of the logistics base, this is not enough now.
Chen Qing knew that it was time to get out the Warlock Advanced Profession.
If that's the case, you'll have to go to the Nine Heavens Mirror Valley!
