Chapter 387: The Autumn Harvest is Coming, Sharpen Your Knife and Huo Huo to the Qin State!
More than 100,000 troops of the Chu State piled down the border, and more than 300,000 soldiers and horses ploughed and swept the caves in the territory, and carried out a sweep on the bandits, water bandits and servant armies that had not been seen in hundreds of years!
Zhao successively increased 200,000 troops to the Qin-Zhao border, and with the victory of the battle of Wu'an, the coercion was extremely strong, and another 50,000 soldiers and horses were sent to the stubborn old nobles in the country and the officials who supported the old nobles.
The actions of the two great powers in the north and south have caused the whole world to be in a storm.
The Yan State quickly increased its troops by 50,000 troops on the Yan-Zhao border just in case.
The State of Qi was even more nervous and hoarded 100,000 troops in the Nanyang Realm, so as not to prevent the Chu army from suddenly turning into the northeast.
The monarchs and ministers of the Qin State were equally frightened.
But the granary where even rats could cry when they saw it made Qin Guo have to choose to bear pressure and danger, and resist the pressure at the top.
For a time, the blood and qi in the world lingered, but the head of Qin State did not seem to be affected, and the years were quiet.
Qin Wangzheng September 1.
The western hills of Tunliu County.
In previous years, there was often the sound of tiger roaring here, and ordinary Qiantou did not dare to enter.
But this year, it's a buzzing place!
"Zhang Ji, take the villagers to the northwest, there is a large flock of birds flying over there!"
"Pavilion Chief Huang! To the southwest came a 彘 (zhì big wild boar)! Hurry up and bring someone over! ”
"Oh no! The big worm is coming down! Gear up! ”
"Shout! The county order has brought people over, don't be afraid, come and kill you! ”
The wild boar, who followed the habit of going down the mountain to forage, saw more than 30 strong men in front of him, and his small eyes showed great doubts.
Every year, when I go down the mountain, I can eat whatever I want, and I leave when I am full, and I don't see anyone stopping me!
What's going on this year?
The vigilant instinct gives the boar the heart to retreat.
However, when its gaze followed the gap in the crowd and saw into the distance, its small eyes emitted a big light.
There are so many delicious flavors!
Is my fangs not good, or are you floating?
Do you know what one pig, two bears and three tigers are!
"Whoa~"
Roaring, the boar charged at the crowd.
Pavilion Chief Huang Yao broke off and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”
At the sound of an order, more than 30 arrows shot out, and more than 20 of them pierced into the boar's skin steadily.
However, instead of falling, the boar let out an enraged roar:
"Ang !!"
With the alternation of four hooves, the speed of the wild boar suddenly increased to 70 kilometers per hour, and it rushed towards a pavilion guard!
A high-speed impact alone is enough to kill you.
Not to mention the boar and two sharp fangs!
Huang Yao screamed in shock: "Scatter!" Change the gun! ”
The rest of the pavilion soldiers quickly dispersed, abandoned their bows and spears, and stabbed their spears at the wild boar with the corpse still hanging on its fangs!
"Ang !!"
With a mournful roar, the wild boar was covered with more than 30 blood holes.
Blood flowed, but the boar grew more and more crazy!
Shaking off the corpse hanging from its teeth, the mad boar charged again at the pavilion around him.
Huang Yao did not hesitate to drink: "Run!" ”
A group of pavilion guards directly threw away the spears, and the girl ran for his life.
Finally, the wild boar dried up its blood and stumbled to the ground.
Huang Yao gasped for breath, and an excited smile appeared on his face: "Robes, one of the hind legs and skin of this Yu are left for the family members of the robes who died in battle, and the rest are equally divided!" ”
All the pavilion guards cheered in unison: "Yui! ”
A satisfied voice came from not far away: "Huang Tingchang's department is really brave!" ”
Huang Yao subconsciously turned around, and then hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Meet the county order." ”
"The big worm can be the head?"
Zhang Pu, the county magistrate of Tunliu County, said with a smile: "There are many villagers under the claws of that big worm, how can you let it escape?" ”
Behind Zhang Pu, several county soldiers cooperated to lift the tiger corpse high.
Huang Yao and a group of pavilion guards excitedly bowed their hands: "The county order is mighty!" ”
Zhang Pu waved his hand: "It's just to eliminate harm for the people." ”
Immediately, Zhang Pu said in a deep voice: "The autumn harvest is imminent, and the beasts on the mountain are surging. ”
"I bother you to strictly guard the line of defense, if you encounter an invincible beast, you will immediately surrender, and this official will take the county soldiers to get rid of it."
"I must not be ruined by waiting for a year old to be ruined on the eve of the harvest!"
Huang Yao and all the pavilion guards bowed their hands together: "Only! ”
Zhang Pu bowed slightly, and rode his horse in the direction of Tianmu.
Looking at the sturdy millet in the distance, Zhang Pu couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart: "How beautiful! ”
"Fighting for power and profit above the court, what you get is nothing more than a rolling head."
"But if you plow and work in this field, you will get the food of all the people!"
I still remember that when he was just sent by Ying Chengcheng to serve as the county commander in Tunliu County, although this place was a rich land of ten miles and eight townships, it was only relative to other cities in Taihang Mountain.
There is not much flat land available for cultivation, and there are still a large number of acres of land that cannot be ploughed and can only be cultivated by manpower.
However, since the advent of the Chang'an plow, many acres of fields that could only be cultivated by manpower have been used in Chang'an plow.
Even the former hills under his feet have been reclaimed by Zhang Pu with manpower, transforming the tiger's den that once made Tunliu Qianshou daunting into a grain field that breeds hope!
Looking at the millet that was about to ripen, Zhang Pu gained an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and pleasure.
However, just when Zhang Pu was immersed in the joy of the imminent harvest, a knight rode his horse and galloped over.
Zhang Pu shouted angrily: "Hugh has to trample on Tian Miao!" ”
However, the knight ignored the grain seedlings in the field at all, galloped to Zhang Pu, and shouted in a low voice before Zhang Pu was angry: "County order, Zhao army soldiers and horses have been found in the north of the city!" ”
Zhang Pu's face changed greatly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Can you find out the number of enemy troops?" ”
The knight's face was pale and he said, "There are only five people in the lowly department, so I can't see clearly. ”
"According to our visual observations, the enemy army is at least 80,000 men!"
Zhang Puru was struck by lightning, and grabbed the knight's shoulders with both hands in disbelief: "What are you talking about?" ”
"Eighty thousand?!"
Although Tunliu County is located near the border of Qin and Zhao, it is not the city at the forefront.
Now that 80,000 Zhao troops suddenly appeared in the north of the city, how could this make Zhang Pu not panic!
The knight said bitterly, "No more, no less." ”
"The Zhao army marched very fast, and the Zhao army scouts have discovered our department, three people were killed in the battle and one person was seriously injured, and only the lowly army was slightly injured, and the news can be returned."
"In order to report this matter as soon as possible, our department had to return without being discovered."
"Please forgive the prefectural order!"
The knight is only a one-year soldier, and although he is named a scout because of his excellent performance, he is not as good as a border army scout after all.
Moreover, the number of county scouts is too small, and it is difficult to come back alive in the face of the interception of the elite scouts of the Zhao army.
The county lieutenant Liu Zhi pressed Zhang Pu's hand with his right hand, and said in a deep voice: "County order, the robes have really done their best. ”
"What should my city do next, please ask the county order to show it!"
Looking around at the golden Gu Miao around him, Zhang Pu scolded bitterly: "Zhao Gou is so shameless! ”
"To start a war at the time of the autumn harvest!"
"Immediately order all townships to have ranks, and guide the head of Qiantou to enter the city for temporary refuge."
"Open the arsenal! Mobilize all the young men and prepare to defend the city! ”
Zhang Pu knew that Zhao Jun couldn't have come to shop.
In half a month there is still the autumn harvest, and it is wishful thinking to end a local war within half a month.
In other words, the grain that they spent a year of hard work in Tunliu County to grow can't be saved!
All the officials in Tunliu County were also angry in their hearts, and they all bowed their hands: "Only! ”
Alarm bells are ringing.
The Qianshou, who was still immersed in the dream of a bumper harvest, was awakened, and finally reluctantly glanced back at the golden grain seedlings with their bags on their backs, and followed the fellow Qianshou into Tunliu County.
When it was getting late, the last group of Qiantou finally ran into the city.
Liu Cheng rode his horse and rushed to the city road, and said in a loud voice: "The county order, all the young people over the age of fourteen and under the age of fifty in the city have gone to the arsenal to wait for the distribution of armor blades. ”
"In addition to the 2,000 regular troops in this battle, our army can also have more than 7,000 young people participating in the battle!"
Tunliu County has been war-torn and the people's livelihood is withering, and it is the limit to be able to make up so many soldiers who can fight.
Zhang Pu looked into the distance, and his voice was full of heaviness: "Nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, there can still be a battle!" ”
Liu Cheng followed Zhang Pu's line of sight and looked into the distance, and saw that a black line had jumped out of the horizon and was accelerating towards Tunliu County.
Gradually, the banners of the Zhao army clearly appeared in the sight of the defenders of Tunliu, which made the atmosphere of Tunliu County more and more solemn.
And when the guards left behind in Tun saw the big silk embroidered with the word 'Li', a deep despair rose in everyone's eyes.
"Wu Anjun Li Mu is the commander, and he raised more than 80,000 troops to attack my tunliu?"
"How can I be in Tunliu County!"
In the first battle of last year, most of the eyes of the old Qin people in Guanzhong were attracted by Ying Cheng's amazing achievements.
But for the Qin people in the Taihang Mountain area, a battle of Wu'an made the name of Li Mu, who was originally unknown, like thunder.
This is a man who can fight against General Wang Qian!
Fighting against at least 80,000 enemy troops with nearly 10,000 soldiers is certainly very tense, but relying on the city walls, this battle is still fought.
But now you tell us that the commander of the enemy army is Zhao Guowu, Anjun, Li Mu?
How can this be fought!
Zhang Pu was also panicked, but he shouted in a deep voice: "It's all panicked!" ”
"What about the enemy general Wu Anjun?"
"What if the enemy army has more than 100,000 troops?"
"The walls of my Tunliu County are towering, the grain is abundant, and I am not afraid of a long war."
"The 50,000 soldiers and horses of the deputy general Xiong Suo's department are stationed in Xiangyuan County, seventy miles northeast of my tunliu, and there are reinforcements from Changzi County to reinforce our city."
"Two days at most, reinforcements will arrive!"
"We only have to hold on for two days."
Listening to Zhang Pu's words, the hearts of the defenders who stayed behind finally calmed down.
Although we have few troops in Tunliu County, there are still friendly troops around us.
The Xiangyuan garrison seventy miles to the northeast and the eldest son county fifty miles south will increase troops to support our city!
Zhang Pu raised his voice and asked in a loud voice: "Think about your family members, and think about the grain you have planted this year." ”
"Do you dare to fight the enemy to the death?!"
Looking at the golden seedlings outside the city, all the defenders roared in unison:
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! ”
North of Tunliu County.
Li Mu rode his horse and commanded in a deep voice: "Pass the order." ”
"Whoever tramples on the seedlings of the grain, he will be decided!"
Deputy General Sima Shang solemnly bowed his hand: "Only! ”
As soon as the order was issued, Li Mu heard the shouts of the Qin army at the head of the city.
Li Mu raised his head with interest: "The fighting spirit is surging. ”
"But for how long?"
"Order!"
"Fu arrived at the headquarters and sent 10,000 troops to attack the city."
