Chapter 20 The spark burns the prairie and sings
When the rebels entered Tongyuan Town, it was already in tatters, the guards and soldiers had fled, and there was not a single figure to be seen on the wide street, only discarded weapons, broken plaques, and trampled food all over the ground.
The rebels can't manage so much now, they just want to take a good rest, drink water, eat a bite of food, and everyone is looking for a place where they can lean and lie down to soothe the aches and pains accumulated in their bodies for a day.
A pair of flashing eyes revealed horror and uneasiness, they did not know what was going on outside, who had won, and how the victorious people would treat them, so they could only be "tough" vigilant against danger, some hiding under the bed, some hiding in the cellar, some hugging together and under the self-made bunker, and groups of people with shovels, hoes and even wooden sticks and brooms gathered in the wide and closed rooms, always ready for "battle".
A rebel soldier was tired and collapsed in front of a door, the big lock on the door indicated safety, so the rebels did not take much precautions, but when he leaned on the door, the alertness of bathing the battlefield still made him notice a trace of abnormality, and he heard movement in the room. And so it was, and the frightened people in the room were startled by the sound of leaning against the door, and let out the sound of broken footsteps and panicked breath-holding. The rebel immediately forgot the aches in his body, got up and beckoned his companions to get ready for battle.
In an instant, the gathered rebels surrounded this room, drew their swords and prepared to fight, and the people inside also knew that they had been discovered, and when the rebels were about to besiege cautiously, they suddenly broke through the door, and the guy in his hand was about to fight.
The two sides fought for only a few times, and then they were deadlocked, and the rebels saw that these people were the people of the town, and after a few counterattacks, they stopped, and the careful defense, the panicked people also dissipated their desperate thoughts after a short impulse, just looked left and right, panicked, and gathered together like lost ants.
Seeing this situation, the Yicha, Ling Feng and others hurriedly rushed over, seeing this situation, they first showed the Yijun to put away the weapons in their hands, and then walked forward and explained with a smile: "You are the people of the city! I'm sorry to scare you, we are the righteous army organized by Luolan Jiahua, and we are only here to resist the Wang army, not to slaughter, so you villagers don't need to be too nervous, we won't hurt you." ”
The panicked people also began to mutter, "You really won't kill us......
"Well, I can assure you. It wasn't that long ago that we experienced war and know how precarious it feels to be dead. That's why everyone will unite to resist the royal army and try to control their own destiny. ”
The people were bustling again: "I heard about what happened in Lolan Town, but I didn't expect it to be true?" "If they were really Loland's people, they wouldn't have killed us." ”
"They don't look like they're bad guys, so many young and immature faces. ”
......
After talking and whispering, the people put down the guys in their hands one after another, and the tense situation eased, and then, someone shouted: Everyone come out, it's all right.
More and more figures appeared, looking at each other, still cautious and walking down the street, both sides looked at each other carefully, although there were not many words, but they knew that each other was not enemies.
Last night was very peaceful, as if everyone was in a soundproof room, and they couldn't hear any noise or movement, and they all fell asleep. After a long night's rest, everyone was in good spirits.
The mansions of the town guards and eunuchs are really not small, and tens of thousands of rebels have been placed, although they are a little crowded. The usual gruel and steamed buns are so delicious at the moment that everyone is smiling when they eat it.
In the lobby of the town guard's house, Licha, Luo Chuan, Yuntian, etc. are also steamed buns with pickles, and they eat with relish, and after satisfying their stomachs, a small meeting was held to agree on the next strategy.
Zhao Jian: "I didn't expect that the first large-scale war with the Wang army could be successfully won, although Tongyuan was captured together, but we suffered a lot of casualties in this battle, I think we should withdraw and recuperate for a while." ”
Deviation: "Tongyuan is a small town, and the people here have just experienced a war, and the materials are relatively scarce, so it is indeed not suitable for the army to set up camp, but now that Tongyuan has been captured, it cannot be abandoned, whether it is this town or the people here." This time the defeat of the Wang army, we don't know what action will be taken in the future, Tongyuan can be used as our stronghold, whether we attack or resist in the future, we can become an outpost. I want to stay and put things in order, and at the same time appease the people here, and encourage them to join us. ”
Luo Chuan: "Wang Jun has just experienced defeat, and he shouldn't come back so quickly, but he still has to take precautions." Besides, the news of our victory needs to be brought back to Loraine, but the army will only consume manpower in vain. I think that half of the men and horses and giant soldiers can be left here in Tongyuan, and the wounded need to rest and recuperate, and they can't travel bumpily, as for the supplies, they can be transported from Jiahua in a group, and the news of victory only needs to be divided into a small team to return to Luolan and discuss with Uncle Chen what to do next. ”
"This is feasible, then I will stay here with Yuntian and Zhao Jian, Ling Feng and Zhou Tao will take a small team back to Luolan, and Luo Chuan, Huang Wei, and Sun Jinyi will be responsible for the transfer of materials. ”
Two days later, Ling Feng and Zhou Tao returned to Luolan and brought back this exciting news, Chen Bo and other temporary leadership teams and the people of Luolan all cheered, and the good news from the battlefield was gratifying, but there was even greater good news, Fengqiu (east) and Jinshui (northwest) also won the victory of the resistance.
Uncle Chen: "A few days ago, Fengqiu and Jinshui sent people to say that they heard that the people of Luolan rebelled against the Wang army and won the victory, and they were unwilling to be enslaved to death, and fought angrily, although the process was extremely miserable, but they could be regarded as breaking free from the shackles, so they wanted to follow in our footsteps and build a society of equality and peace without slavery with us." ”
Ling Feng couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "This is really exciting, then how did we Luo Lan plan and how did we reply." ”
Uncle Chen: "I have already discussed with the rest of you that tyranny and heavy labor are destined to not be able to rule for a long time, and oppression must be resisted, so we have replied to the envoys of Fengqiu and Jinshui, saying that we will work with them to build an equal and free world." ”
Zhou Tao: "That's great." But what should we do next, the royal capital will not let us be in such a safe corner. ”
Chen Bo: "In the past, we resisted just to remove the weight of our bodies, and we didn't expect to get to where we are today, but now the results show how correct our original decision was." Since there are so many like-minded people who are willing to pursue happiness with us, we should also help more people to remove their shackles and live in a better world with us. We are now on the same page as the king, and we can only save one of them. War is inevitable, so let's face it!"
Li Shaoqin: "Ling Feng and Zhou Tao, you have just finished the fierce battle, let the rebels recuperate for a while! Seven days later, we will send a message to the people of Fengqiu and Jinshui to fight against Wang Zheng together." ”
Ling Feng was excited, and shouted, "Okay." ”
"This expedition is very important, I will go to the battlefield with you, and in the future, the management of Luo Lan will be handed over to Shaoqin and you. Uncle Chen said excitedly and tremblingly, he probably didn't think that one day he would participate in such a big event!
Hearing that Ling Feng was back, Liqing was very worried that his brother rushed over with Lige to inquire about the situation. After knowing that my brother was fine, I was finally relieved.
The news of the defeat of the king's army, the king had already known, and the three holy generals were all killed in battle, which made the king feel a little uncomfortable, like a thorn in his back. Now that he learned that Fengqiu and Jinshui had won the rebellion, Wang finally had to get serious, and even felt a little excited, just like when he fought the demons, he had to personally command the overall situation.
Wars are always accompanied by killings, but this time the people of Tongyuan don't have to worry, the rebels don't occupy their houses, don't rob their food, don't plunder their money, and even take the initiative to help them. Licha, Zhao Jian and others also continued to preach their new order and new ideas to the people of Tongyuan, encouraging them to join the rebel army and jointly resist the tyranny of the royal capital. Although most people are skeptical, there are not a few people who join the army. The rebel army is constantly growing and growing, and new ideas and new policies are also spreading.
"I didn't expect that a few of us would do such an earth-shattering thing one day, not long ago we were still working hard in the mines and forging factories, but now we are going to change our lives. I don't know if I will come back from this expedition, no matter what the result is, if I am fortunate enough to do such a meaningful thing with my good buddies, it will not be considered to have come to this world. Several people were full of emotion on the city tower.
Ling Feng: "Licha, your sister asked me something, and I almost forgot to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Hmm... How can I tell you this, you come with me. ”
It's dusk now, and the sunset shines on a few people, pulling out a long shadow, this is the laughter before the expedition, and it is unknown whether everyone will be able to stand together like this next time and talk and laugh.
After a few people said goodbye, Licha and Ling Feng left together, Yun Tian watched this scene silently, a little lost, if it wasn't for that massacre, he would have laughed with his good friends like this.
Ling Feng came to a camp tent with his errand, and scratched his head embarrassedly: "It's here, you go in!"
"What's the matter, can't you just say it? It's so mysterious. ”
Licha opened the tent and walked in, and said in surprise: "Why are you two here, it's just nonsense, this is a war, not a joke, you will go back to Luolan tomorrow." ”
"No, you're not with us, Lige and I can't sleep every day, for fear that we'll never see each other again, and our father and mother are gone, so of course you, the elder brother, have to take care of your younger brothers and sisters at all times, how can you still ignore us at home." Liqing retorted angrily. "Besides, we won't get in your way when you fight, if you are afraid of others gossiping and going out with relatives, then don't worry, I will cook, and I can help in the back kitchen. Isn't it, leaving the song?"
Lige nodded vigorously.
The discrepancy was too strong, so they had to stay. But instead of getting angry, I felt a lot more relieved.
"Don't blame Brother Ling Feng, I was so angry that I had to come with me. ”
"Okay, okay, stay in the back camp, don't run around. I still have something to attend to, and I'm leaving. ”
"Brother Cha, you can't blame me, it was Qing Fei who pulled me to follow, I persuaded ......"
Outside the tent, the sound gradually dissipated.
(Three days ago) Luolan's newly recruited nearly 20,000 righteous troops set off in the cheers of the people, and Chen Bo also came with the army, leaving Li Shaoqin and others to continue to develop and build Luolan's base camp. At the same time, they contacted Fengqiu and Jinshui and invited them to send troops together to defeat the Wang army and overthrow the tyranny three days later. Coupled with more than 10,000 people gathered by Jiahua City, more than 40,000 people from Tongyuan, and loyal people who continue to come inexplicably, the team has grown even stronger. And tomorrow, these people will give their blood for a great cause.
