Chapter 450: Sorrowful and always anxious
When Chu Tianmei was swept into the courtyard of the second city gate of the East City Gate, she was stunned by the scene in front of her. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
She had to stop her horse, and the corpses and piles of arrows in front of her seemed to be venting the fierceness of the previous fierce battle under the scorching sun.
In particular, when you enter the city gate, all the corpses of the soldiers of the Kansai Expeditionary Army are killed, and most of them are killed by arrows shot from the back. Under Chu Tianmei's careful inspection as she rotated around, some of the soldiers were not hit by one or two, but were inserted all over the back.
The tragedy made Chu Tianmei unable to hold back her tears.
She has seen so many strangulation scenes and had so many personal experiences, but this is the first time she has felt the cruelty and bloodiness of war.
"Captain Chu, shouldn't we evacuate? ”
The female lieutenant was so quiet that she could barely hear what she was saying.
"Let's wait a while!"
Chu Tianmei also whispered to the extent that she was talking to herself again.
Although she didn't see where Luo Jingfeng was, she knew that he was safe, and she only left the city gate after strangulation.
"Don't you want to go to General Luo? We didn't see his body, does that prove that he is still alive? ”
The female lieutenant stared at Chu Tianmei with a puzzled face, but this time she spoke loudly with her voice open.
Chu Tianmei burst into tears, but she didn't cry.
She turned around hesitantly, looked at the female lieutenant for a long time, and then turned over and dismounted. The moment his feet landed, he covered his cheeks with his hands and squatted down sadly.
"Frightening should be fine, we'll look for him later. ”
He spoke in a very low voice but with a crying voice, without even raising his head, and sat like that all the time. Because of the way he squats, his body looks so petite.
"Captain Chu, what's wrong with you? ”
The female lieutenant was stunned, and a violent sour feeling surged in his heart, and he turned over and dismounted and stood beside Chu Tianmei.
Ay!
A sigh of raising his head.
"I'm fine, look at how so many people died?"
Chu Tianmei raised her head slowly, her reddish eyes, soaked in tears, looked godless and haggard.
Even she didn't know why she had such a deep feeling at this moment, and she was still so sad. It was at this time that she remembered the past, remembered her father, and more things made her even more sad.
At that time, because of the frame-up of the bald guy, because of Wang Mang's dictatorship. made her life without food and clothing, but overnight, she became an orphan with nothing. If it weren't for Luo Jingfeng's encounter, without his leadership and care, she wouldn't dare to imagine what kind of ending it would be.
followed Luo Jingfeng all the way, although she experienced too many unsatisfactory things and saw many things that made her angry, compared with the current situation, her heart suddenly felt more sour.
When I thought of this, a wave of unbearable tears welled up again.
"Captain Chu, let's wait like this to see if we will be surrounded by Guo Ziyi again. ”
The female lieutenant who had been waiting for a long time was anxiously urging.
Although, for the time being, there are no soldiers surrounding the figure, but who can keep that there are no soldiers guarding the east city gate.
Thinking of this, Chu Tianmei suddenly stood up.
She turned around and looked around, but with hesitant steps, she walked towards the second major gate into the city. However, the closed gates of the city had no hope of opening at all.
"It seems that we have to find another way, and it is impossible to get through here. ”
When she finished saying this, Chu Tianmei raised her arm and wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve, but she bit her lip and stared at the female captain.
"Let everyone dismount, we must enter Handan City on foot. Moreover, it must be explained to everyone that after entering Handan City, for the purpose of finding people, there must be no head-on conflict with the soldiers in the city. ”
The purpose of her saying this is to reduce unnecessary trouble.
"Then do we want to change our uniforms?"
The female lieutenant understood what Chu Tianmei meant, and asked a very crucial question.
"That's not necessary, no one in Handan City should have seen us. When it appears for the first time, it will not attract the attention of the guards, but it must not engage in a fierce battle with the soldiers of Handan City. ”
After Chu Tianmei finished speaking, she glanced up at the city wall, but she waved her arm and pointed to the city wall to the west, and then followed the steps of the city wall.
"Let's go up there, there must be a way into the city. ”
After Chu Tianmei finished speaking, she made another extremely fast spin and walked towards the west city wall with her long sword.
When Luo Jingfeng strangled the crossbowmen on the four city walls, he did not find Guo Ziyi's body. This made him even more anxious, if Guo Ziyi didn't die, it would be the biggest scourge.
Originally, according to the previous plan, he could evacuate from the East City Gate and immediately catch up with Lin Zhijun. However, after thinking about it, since it has been confirmed that this is a major strangulation trap, it means that the battle between the West City Gate and the North City Gate is also a very fierce life-and-death duel.
Thinking of this, Luo Jingfeng gave up the evacuation and went directly into Handan City.
When he walked all the way, he was taken aback by Luo Jingfeng.
In order to exterminate Luo's frightening army, Wang Lang actually strictly controlled the residents of the entire city, and all the soldiers were deployed on the main streets.
Walking on the streets of Handan City, it feels like entering an empty city, and it is also a ghost town that has been sanitized.
Turning the cross street, Luo Jingfeng was looking for which street he could get to the north gate as soon as possible after passing through it. Suddenly, from the shops on both sides, a large number of soldiers rushed out.
"Who are you to dare to walk through the streets? ”
The captain at the head didn't seem to know that the East City Gate had been lost. In his consciousness, the person who can walk on the street will not be the person who enters from the outside.
After Luo Jingfeng began to observe carefully, he understood the general situation in his heart.
Holding back the anger in his heart, he began to smile hippie.
"Grandpa Guan, there is no rice at home, I want to find out if I can buy some, but I really can't open the pot. ”
He looked pitiful, but nodded and bowed.
The lieutenant looked left and right, looked up and down for a while, and then took a step closer.
"You know! It's time for war, try not to move around. If you really can't do it, you can ask a neighbor to borrow some. ”
When the lieutenant finished saying this, Luo Jingfeng suddenly realized whether he had read it wrong. The city's residents did not evacuate at all, but closed their doors and closed their homes.
When he thought about it, he had a new plan.
"Official, as you know, the neighbors can't open the door. I'm just wondering why the war keeps us from going out. ”
Luo Jingfeng wanted to get some useful information from the lieutenant's mouth.
"Don't you know, there is a person who is frightened by Luo Feng, who has led hundreds of thousands of troops to the city. In fact, everyone knows that there are not many defenders in Handan City. Moreover, some of them were sent out to unite with Red Eyebrows to support, and the situation was critical. ”
"Then there is no need for us to go out of the door! the common people have no connection with the war. ”
"You are wrong, everyone knows very well that the current war is to fight for territory and rob the people of Li to provide for soldiers and soldiers. Of course, you are very important, the court has already spread the word, if you can't hold Handan City, you'd rather leave an empty city than leave anything for that kid Luo Jingfeng. ”
When the lieutenant said this, he looked around vigilantly, as if he was afraid of being heard. With that serious expression, people can tell the truth at a glance.
"You're not going to kill the people, are you?"
Luo Jingfeng listened to the captain's words, and his heart trembled.
It was the first time he had heard of a leader who even Baixin wanted to kill in order to fight.
"It's definitely not going to be killed, but whether you want to evacuate all of them depends on whether Handan City can hold it. Moreover, it depends on whether the red eyebrows can arrive in time. If these two things do not achieve the imaginary results, then no one can say well, let alone judge. ”
The captain said, and there was a hint of sadness on his face.
"Actually, it's a bit of a horrific thing. But who would dare to oppose it!"
He shook his head, anxious.
"Haven't you thought about it? The whole city will have more than 100,000 people! If you want to evacuate all of them, it will be really obvious that you will be dragging your family and leaving your home. ”
Luo Jingfeng spoke to the captain.
This news was not only timely, but also shocked Luo Jingfeng. If that's the case, even if Handan City is breached, it won't be of much use. An empty city is insignificant to anyone. What worries him even more is that if the army of Red Eyebrows is really allowed to arrive in advance, it will be a big trouble to break through Handan City. It was no less arduous than the battle of Kunyang City's defense, and at that time, not only would it be difficult to break through, but also because of the alliance of Wang Lang and Chimei, a strong force would be added, which would bring greater resistance to King Xiao's great cause of restoring the Han Dynasty.
When he thought of this, Luo Jingfeng began to become anxious.
"Little brother, I see that you are also from Handan City, you can't publicize what you just said. If everyone knows, it will cause panic in the whole city, and when the time comes, let alone resist foreign invasion, the people of the whole city will make Handan City self-defeating. ”
The lieutenant inadvertently revealed a piece of news that surprised Luo.
In fact, with the method that the captain said just now, you really don't need to fight fiercely, let alone strangled the dead and wounded, you can let Handan City open the city gate directly.
A burst of joy made Luo Jingfeng almost laugh.
"Official, I still have to find rice, I can't delay any longer, or the old people in the family will starve. I had to hurry away, and I didn't know where to look. ”
Luo Jingfeng said as he looked up and looked around.
Not only did he pretend to be, but he also looked like he was in a hurry. Actually, his anxiety is real, and looking for rice is fake.
"Then go quickly, but don't go to the gates, or you'll be in danger." ”
The lieutenant said, waving his arm back, and led the soldiers into the houses on either side.
At this time, Luo Jingfeng began to be embarrassed. Such a hurried thing, and it was a thing that had to be done and required a large number of personnel, for a while, he had no idea.
