Chapter 10: The Battle Array is Ruthless
Fangcheng only has two thousand defenders, but compared with the other eight cities occupied by the people's army in Fen County, Fangcheng City has a deep ditch, and the two thousand defenders are also well-equipped, and the bows and arrows that defend the city are also quite sufficient, and there are many rich officials living in it, although there is a great drought in Fen County, there is a big granary in Fangcheng, and Fangcheng County ordered to open a warehouse to help the people, so that no one in Fangcheng died because of famine, and the people inside had no intention of making trouble, so Fangcheng was not breached.
The leader of the 20,000 people's army besieging Fangcheng is a farmer named Lei Tian, because of the drought in Fen County, and was squeezed by Zhu Qing, the king of Wen, the people of Fen County made trouble in order to survive, Lei Tian because of the weekday battle in the township, and a few handfuls of strength, was promoted as the head of smashing the city and grabbing food, and later more and more people participated, now the people's army has 20,000, and 20,000 people still have more than 80,000 families to feed, so many people want to eat, to live, they have to take a family to attack Fangcheng, only to hit the city to open the official warehouse, these people have a way to live, although the rebellion will be killed, but can not watch the family be starved to death, the people can only sacrifice their lives to support their families。
The soldiers are fast, Yun Feiyu wants to save the siege of Fangcheng, so he led two thousand cavalry all the way forward, and the march is still set to prepare for the night attack, and the route is clear, the night is dark, Yun Feiyu personally led two thousand guard cavalry, taking advantage of the dark night to attack the camp, because the spies detected that there are 20,000 bandits, although the bandit army is not a regular army, and the camp is also disorganized, but Yun Feiyu is still cautious, and sends agile sergeants to clean up the bandit army's sentry in front, let the cavalry wrap the horse's hooves with cloth, strangle the horse's mouth, and everyone leads the horse forward, until the night can see a few tents standing in front, Yun Feiyu ordered everyone to take off the horse's hoof wrap, turn over the horse, and Wei Yong each received a thousand, divided into two ways to kill the enemy camp.
Because of the limited military tents, most of the civilian soldiers lay straight on the ground, with sickles and hoes on their pillows...... Waiting for the so-called weapons to fall asleep, the cavalry suddenly broke in, most of the people did not have time to get up, they were trampled to death by the horses, for a time the screams continued, the night was like a ghost crying wolf howl, piercing the ear, Yun Feiyu was cold in his heart, waved the spear in his hand, and mercilessly stabbed the "bandits and rebels" that appeared in front of him, all kinds of miserable howls, the sound of long soldiers piercing into **, the sound of swords cutting into bones, the neighing of horses, the cries of people in panic, and even the sound of blood spurting...... It became a tragic song of the slaughter of life, and the Grim Reaper grinned and sneered in the night! The lone star in the sky flickered, as if he did not want to see this human tragedy!
20,000 people's army was defeated in a battle, Yun Feiyu's 2,000 cavalry slaughtered overnight, some even chased hundreds of fleeing people's troops on a single horse and chased out for several miles, Yun Feiyu collected the army at dawn, the two thousand cavalry of the guard army were almost zero casualties, only a few nights because the horses stumbled and suffered some injuries, and the slaughtered people's army was more than 10,000 people's troops, the defenders in the city did not know what happened, for fear that the people's army would deceive, the two thousand defenders did not go out of the city to support, otherwise it was not impossible for the 20,000 people's army to be completely annihilated.
Under the morning sun, although the two thousand cavalry were exhausted, and their bodies were covered with blood, they were all slightly excited, they all thought about their own merits in the first battle, and the two thousand cavalry broke the 20,000 bandit army, what a feat!
Yun Feiyu was also covered in blood, this was the first time Yun Feiyu had experienced a battle formation, but now Yun Feiyu had neither the excitement of the imaginary victory in his heart, nor the fear of nausea after the first killing, Yun Feiyu quietly looked at the corpses lying on the ground, those people were terrified of death, but none of them were bandits with fierce faces, they were wearing broken clothes, they were hungry, their exposed bodies were skinny, and their weapons were hoes, sickles, and wooden sticks...... They are of different ages, some are teenagers, and some are already gray-haired old men! These are the bandits who are making trouble? These are the heinous bandits?
Wei Yong came back with hundreds of captives, did not hide the joy on his face, bowed, and said excitedly: "Congratulations to the commander for becoming famous, it seems that the 100,000 bandits in this Fen County are also straw bales, and the chaos is just around the corner!"
Yun Feiyu's face was dark, and there was no joy, Wei Yong was stunned, and he was puzzled, although Yun Feiyu was only sixteen, but Wei Yong was convinced by Yun Feiyu, the first battalion of the guard army was led by the sixteen-year-old Yun Feiyu to become the elite of the entire guard, Wei Yong has been serving as the deputy battalion lieutenant, trying his best to assist Yun Feiyu, at this moment seeing Yun Feiyu's expressionless face, knowing that something must have happened, he couldn't help but ask: "Commander, is something wrong?"
Looking at the hundreds of captives, Yun Feiyu said lightly: "It's nothing, let the infantry come up and bury the corpses, you pick a few prisoners to bring to my tent, I have something to ask them." ”
Wei Yong took the order and left, waited for the rear army of the guards to follow, set up camp and set up tents, the cavalry rested on the spot, and the infantry army was busy burying the corpses, digging several large pits, throwing nearly 10,000 corpses into several pits, and burying them hastily.
Yun Feiyu untied his sword, put it on the handsome case, took off his armor, and handed it to the guards to wash the blood stains on it, Yun Feiyu wore plain clothes and sat in the military tent, and after a while, Wei Yong came in with four captives, the four captives were all dressed in rags, full of hunger, Yun Feiyu waved his hand to let Wei Yong retreat, and asked calmly: "Why are you making trouble? Don't you know that the rebellion is to kill the head?"
Among the four captives was a black-bearded man, although his hands and feet were tied, but his face was not afraid, and the black-bearded man snorted and said angrily: "If you want to kill, you can kill! Why pretend! You officials have forced us people to rebel, and you ask why, I just want to fucking hate to kill a few more dog officials!"
"Oh! You say that you are ordinary people, or that the officials forced you to rebel, weren't you instigated by the bandits in Fen County to participate in the rebellion?"
"What kind of bandits? You officials are the same as the bandits! The bandits are ruthless, but they can't be as ruthless as you dog officials!" the black-bearded man scolded angrily.
Yun Feiyu didn't care, and asked calmly: "But you told me how the officials forced you to rebel, do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence? Our 20,000 hungry people are proof! This year's drought has not yielded a single grain in the field, but the dog thief of Wen Wang Zhu Qing has increased the field tax by 20 percent, and we have handed over all the grain for the coming year, and we can only gnaw on the bark and grass roots, and the dogs of his Wen family all eat meat at once, but we ordinary people can only starve to death! What a good person Master Zhao Kaitai is! Master Zhao took his own food and distributed it to our people, because Master Zhao and my mother were not starved to death, but Zhu Qing's dog thief killed hundreds of members of Master Zhao's family, and I Lei Tian gave up this rotten life to avenge Master Zhao, since I was arrested by you today, even if I become a ghost, I will also find that Zhu Qing dog thief!"
Yun Feiyu was shocked, the drought in Fen County, the emperor specially ordered the transfer of food and salary for disaster relief, and the capital also organized hundreds of officials to donate, at that time Yunfu also donated a lot of silver, Yun Feiyu knew about this, but I heard what the black-bearded man Lei Tian said, King Wen Zhu Qing did not open a warehouse to help the victims, where did the food and salary for disaster relief go? And what happened to Zhao Kaitai? "Didn't Fen County open a warehouse for disaster relief this year? Who is Zhao Kaitai? Why did King Wen kill him all over the house?"
Lei Tian smiled coldly as if he heard a big joke, "Disaster relief? Zhu Qing, the king of Wen, will provide disaster relief, and if you say it, let the people of Fen County laugh and lose their big teeth! Why did you kill Master Zhao? It's not that the old pervert has taken a fancy to Miss Zhao, which of the people of Fen County doesn't know about this matter? Zhu Qing's dog thief is fifty-four, and he has to forcibly take the eighteen-year-old Miss Zhao, he thinks about it beautifully, and if he doesn't take care of himself, is he worthy?" Anyway, sooner or later he will be executed, Lei Tian scolded Zhu Qing heartily, Yun Feiyu thought of Zhu Qing's fat pig appearance, and agreed with Lei Tian a little in his heart.
After listening to what Lei Tian said, Yun Feiyu had a little understanding of the affairs of Fen County in his heart, where is this bandit rebellion, this is clearly the Wen King Zhu Qing forcing the people of Fen County to rebel! Yun Feiyu was angry in his heart, and ordered the guards to take Lei Tian and the others down, and walk back and forth in the military tent, Yun Feiyu wanted to gallop on the battlefield, and his achievements were worthy of the reputation of the Yun family, but who thought that the first battle was almost a massacre of civilians, which was very different from what he thought in his heart, and now Yun Feiyu couldn't wait to pick up the gun to pick that Zhu Qing!
At this time, the guards came to report, Fangcheng County ordered Leng Kangwen to ask to see, Yun Feiyu thought in his heart, sat back in the handsome case, pulled out the Qinglian sword, wiped it lightly with a cloth, and instructed the guards: "Let him come in!"
Fangcheng County, who had a worried face, stepped forward with his clothes, bowed down and saluted: "The official city and county order Leng Kangwen has seen the general." ”
Yun Feiyu snorted coldly, but he still wiped his sword without saying a word, Leng Kangwen looked up at the sixteen-year-old commander, but saw that the commander Yun Feiyu's face was cold, his face was as heavy as water, Leng Kangwen didn't know where he made Yun Feiyu unhappy, so he had to carefully lower his head and secretly worry.
"Leng County Order, how much disaster relief food has Fang Cheng received this year?"
Leng Kangwen was excited, his eyes rolled, and he guessed in his heart the relationship between this young commander and Zhu Qing, the king of Wen, and he cowered and bowed his head and replied: "Fangcheng has enough grain to deal with natural disasters, and has not received disaster relief food. ”
Yun Feiyu had already guessed in his heart that it was Zhu Qing, the king of Wen, who had privately swallowed the disaster relief food, but he only used Leng Kangwen to confirm it, but he didn't expect that Leng Kangwen was so tactful, and Fang Cheng could cope with this year's drought, so the whereabouts of the disaster relief food and salary had nothing to do with him Leng Kangwen, Yun Feiyu smiled coldly, "Who is Zhao Kaitai?
Zhao Kaitai's matter was publicized by Wen Siran, and the people of Fen County knew it clearly, but Leng Kangwen didn't dare to pretend not to know, but just lightly covered up that it was King Wen who proposed marriage to the Zhao family, and the Zhao family not only refused, but also beat the person who welcomed the relatives, which was a felony that offended the emperor's relatives and relatives, and King Wen beheaded the Zhao family according to the law.
Yun Feiyu sneered secretly, this Leng Kangwen is deeply familiar with the way of being an official, everything is smooth, and he can't help but feel a little disgusted with him in his heart, Yun Feiyu flicked the blade of the Qinglian Sword with his hand, "Leng County Order, our guard army has been tired for many days, and I will enter Fangcheng today to rest, what do you think?"
