Volume 1 Chapter 867 War is coming

Xia Jun attacked this situation, Luo Chong didn't plan to tell anyone in the manor, just let them cultivate at home with peace of mind, there was no need to join in the excitement.

In particular, the group of warbellants with an extremely adventurous spirit, such as Shijo, Steel Tooth, and Bald Eagle, will definitely shout and join in the fun once they know that there will be a big scene of cold weapon warfare near their homes.

The first time he participated in the war, Luo Chong himself was a little confused, where to take care of them, or wait until he became an expert in this field and had a larger number of biochemical warriors, and then share his experience with them.

When the time comes, Luo Chong doesn't mind letting these modern professional mercenaries each lead a biochemical team, cooperate with him to conquer the city and conquer the two countries quickly.

After all, one's energy is limited, and there should be a few generals under him who can fight well.

As for the safety of the manor, there is no need to worry, the team members all have abilities, Mo Qing and Meow Meow The four big demons are even stronger, with them, no one can break in and make trouble.

In fact, there is no problem for Manhattan to protect the entire estate alone. This buddy's perverted teleportation is swishing like a ghost, and he can't kill a few people, but he can scare all the intruders

Set off and go to the battlefield

It was no different from going out in normal times, Luo Chong rode a nightmare horse with a fiery mane, and planned to leave his home and go to the front line with the vicious dog Dumb.

Everyone else was cultivating in their respective rooms, but a teleportation flashed to Manhattan's side, and he asked in a low voice, "Are you looking for me?"

Luo Chong was going out to fight and he could hide it from others, but he couldn't hide it from him.

"Why am I looking for you?" Luo Chong wondered.

"Aren't you going to ask me to take care of the house?" Manhattan said lightly.

"That's what you're supposed to do, do you need to say more?"

Luo Chong looked at him: "Isn't it all digested, and there is so much gossip?"

"I'm a lot better than I used to be. "Manhattan expresses his happiness very plainly.

"Congratulations, congratulations. ”

Luo Chong arched his hand: "I'm leaving." ”

"Go early and come back early. He said.

Luo Chong glanced at him with a strange gaze, and then rode away, still muttering in his heart: This guy is getting more and more sick, and my daughters-in-law are not so clingy. It's really good to pop up and say something that is completely unnutritious......

Luo Chong came to the threshing floor camp and ordered the whole team of biochemical knights to go out, all of them were one person and two horses, sharing the burden of weapons and equipment, and at least three days of food.

Thundered......

An hour later, the heavy iron hooves of the biochemical cavalry began to shake the earth, including Luo Chong, a total of one hundred and eighty-five people, and more than three hundred and seventy biochemical war horses.

The number of war horses was originally only two hundred and eight, and the night before yesterday, Luo Chong patronized a horse farm in the Song Dynasty and stole one hundred and twenty war horses in the best condition, and the biochemical transformation was successful in more than ninety, which met the current needs of this person and two horses.

The sound of hooves is rolling, and the target: Dengzhou City

Early this morning, the defenders of Dengzhou City saw the wolf smoke launched on the side of Helinbao: the enemy army is coming, 2,000 cavalry.

Up to now, the people in Dengzhou City have long been panicked, and the chaos has become a pot of porridge, and the people have begun to rush to buy food, and the price is not hesitant to do so. Grain merchants have ushered in the opportunity to make huge profits, but no one can show a smile on their faces.

When the war came, once Dengzhou City fell, it would be difficult to keep it no matter how much money it made. If a wolf-like enemy army breaks into the city, it will definitely burn and loot, and if the big families can't give enough food or money, the whole family will become ghosts under the sword.

The gates of the city have long been closed, and the local garrison of less than 2,000 people is not even satisfied with the city walls, and the government can only shout the slogan of "defend the homeland, defend the relatives, and temporarily recruit the young and strong people to jointly defend the city."

Due to the limited finances, the localities cannot afford to raise too many troops, coupled with such factors as empty salaries, lack of training, and the excessively high proportion of the old, weak, sick and disabled, do not expect the local garrisons to have too strong combat effectiveness. The situation would not have improved significantly with any one prefect.

It is only natural that a soldier should be paid for food, and if his salary is insufficient, no one will serve you. Even the most incorruptible prefect could not conjure up money to raise troops on his own, and the imperial court could only provide as much limited food and salary as possible to the most vulnerable military towns.

On the north city wall, the fifty-year-old Governor Chen, accompanied by the two garrison camp generals, stood with a solemn face for two hours, and even dealt with a few mouthfuls on the city wall casually for lunch.

"It's almost time to arrive. ”

At the age of forty, he is the leader of the Dengzhou garrison battalion, with a military rank of 1,000 generals, who has worked hard in the regular army for more than 10 years, and his identity background is relatively average.

His deputy is a female general in her twenties, named Zheng Xiuying, who is taller than ordinary men, more than 1.8 meters tall, and her facial features are not detailed, but she looks heroic in battle armor.

Estimating the time, Deng Hai thought that the enemy's 2,000 cavalry should have arrived at the city a long time ago, and the reason why it hadn't appeared yet was that it was probably burning, killing and looting in the surrounding villages and towns, and by the way, he paid attention to the reaction of Dengzhou City.

How can I react?

Deng Hai laughed at himself in his heart, "Do I, the more than 1,000 old and weak soldiers, still dare to run out of the city to fight them in the field?"

There is no way, knowing that the people outside the city of Ludao will be poisoned, the military strength of the Dengzhou garrison camp can only defend the city and keep the city as much as possible.

The deputy general Zheng Xiuying was even more solemn, as a martial artist, he had the intention to go out of the city to kill the enemy, but because of his military position, he couldn't lose a big one because of a small loss, so he could only stand here and wait silently with a heavy heart.

"Alas, why did you choose my Dengzhou City?"

Although Governor Chen is a civil official, his courage is not bad, at least he dares to stand on the city wall at this moment, instead of hiding in the yamen. At this moment, he didn't know how many times he sighed, although he had thought that Dengzhou City might be affected by the war, but he was lucky, and he always felt that this possibility was not great.

Today, sure enough, there was an enemy attack, and it was still 2,000 iron horsemen. With such strength, how could Dengzhou City have the slightest counterattack, and it would be very good to be able to keep more than 200,000 people in the city by adopting a shrinking strategy.

"Yes, Master Chen. ”

Deng Hai also shook his head and sighed: "The Xia Dynasty's approach is quite weird, horses are worth a lot of money, and two thousand cavalry are so precious, but it seems that they are only used to test and make trouble. This should be the first sign of a large-scale invasion, but how could the saints of the temple allow the Xia Dynasty to do such an excessive thing?"

Thousands of years of rules of the game have bound too many people's minds, and wars between countries have long evolved into a fixed pattern, and there are rarely situations that generals cannot understand. As everyone knows, this war is no longer the population consumption task set by Sage Island, but according to the expansion of the ambitions of some people, it is moving towards the pace of the struggle to destroy the country.

"Could it be that this time in the war of population attrition, the selected people are more than 200,000 people in Dengzhou City?"

Deng Hai was so worried in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it casually, which frightened the prefect around him.

If this is the case, then it will be bad, after two thousand iron cavalry, there will inevitably be a regular legion of the Xia Dynasty coming to the city. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers, Dengzhou City's defensive strength can be broken day and night

Deng Hai silently looked forward to it, this must not be the case, otherwise, if he doesn't want to die, he can only give up his dignity and become a general......

Zheng Xiuying, who was standing on the side, didn't expect it to be so deep, after all, she was young and inexperienced, she was promoted by virtue of her personal martial arts and family background, and she came to the local garrison battalion to serve as a low-level military general just to gild, and she would be promoted to a regular army in a year or two.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, it was not uncommon for women to become military generals, as long as the martial arts were superb and those male generals could be beaten all over the ground to find teeth, no one would be unconvinced.

In the context of the strong martial arts world, the achievements that women can achieve by practicing martial arts are not much worse than those of men, with excellent talent and hard work, and if there are good exercises, women can also cultivate into the top masters at the grandmaster level.

"Alas, it would be nice if Miss Mu left a few days late. ”

Governor Chen's face was full of sadness, and he muttered in a low voice: "If she is trapped in the city, Lord Zuo Xiang will definitely do his best to urge the imperial court to mobilize troops and send a large army to rescue her...... Heck, it's just a few days away. ”

Although the voice was small, it was heard by Zheng Xiuying, her expression did not change on the surface, but a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes: These civil officials show off their military power on weekdays, and they suppress our military attaches everywhere, saying that it is a national policy to use literature to control military force...... When it came to the critical moment of life, these civil officials all became soft-footed shrimp one by one, afraid of death

call

At this moment, a strong wind blew, and a large cloud of dust rose in the distance.

"It's coming"

Deng Hai took a step forward, leaned on the battlement, and looked into the distance, and vaguely saw a large number of black pressure ants on the ground, which were moving slowly.

It is impossible for the cavalry to march so slowly, it looks like on foot......

As the distance gradually approached, the people on the city wall saw clearly that it was not the enemy cavalry coming in the distance at all, but thousands of ordinary people.

"Damn bastards"

Deng Hai slapped the battlements hard and scolded loudly: "They drove thousands of people over to force us to open the city gate and let the people in." ”

"Open the gates?"

Governor Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "If the city gate is opened, wouldn't it be possible for the enemy army to take advantage of the chaos to break in?"

"Yes, Lord Chen, that's what they want......"

Deng Hai shook his head and sighed: "But it can be imagined that if we don't open the city gate, the next step will be to slaughter the people outside the city in front of us." Your Excellency, you have to be prepared for this. ”

"This ......"

Governor Chen frowned, looking at the thousands of people outside the city who were getting closer and closer, the original nervousness and fear were suddenly gone, not because of the courage that had become bigger, but because of a sense of heaviness that enveloped the whole body, extremely heavy......

These people were driven out of their homes by the fierce enemy army, and fled all the way to the city, but they had already exhausted their strength, and they could no longer run, so they could only drag their legs and move slowly. One by one, they were all panicked and frightened, and they were all colorless.

It can be seen that there are almost no elderly among them, and even if there are children, they are held in the arms of adults. There is no doubt that the old, weak, sick and disabled who lagged behind had long been cut down by the enemy cavalry.

Who can save them?

As the distance approached, the cries and cries of the people for help had reached the city wall, and the hardest-hearted officers and soldiers in the garrison camp were also pale, their fists clenched, and their eyes flashed with sorrow and unbearability...
