Chapter 14 The will of the people is available
Liu Feiwan didn't expect this girl to dare to bite herself, and when she found out, her fingers were already in sharp pain, and she couldn't pull it back, and the two rows of thin silver teeth bit her index finger hard, and you can let it go. The two sergeants who grabbed the girl's arms hurriedly went to pick the girl's mouth, and the big rough hands couldn't control the skin that could be broken by blowing. Under the force, the corners of the girl's mouth were actually torn apart.
But the girl still bit her tongue and didn't let go, she knew that these bad people who robbed her hometown were brought by the person in front of her. Daddy was beaten to death on the ground after just saying a few words, and several soldiers carried Ah Niang into the house. A-Niang's screams and the wolf-like laughter of the soldiers reached her ears at the same time, and a military academy found herself hiding in the firewood and grass. If it weren't for the guy who was reprimanding his grandfather, I'm afraid he would have been ruined by those soldiers.
The girl stared at Liu Fei with bared teeth with wide eyes, and she didn't feel the pain on her face at all. I heard that this is still a prince, and today I am desperate to bite off a piece of this prince's meat.
A large fist rapidly enlarged in her eyes, and dizzy, slimy stuff was running down her nose. I couldn't see anything clearly, just a lot of stars shining. There was a buzzing in my ears, as if I couldn't hear anything. Only the tongue still feels, salty and fishy.
"Kill her, beat her to Lone."
Liu Fei held his fingers and jumped on the ground to relieve his pain. Although this does not help the aching fingers in any way. A group of guards gathered around and punched and kicked the girl who had been knocked to the ground. Seeing that the girl did not move, the two guards threw her into the burning pyre.
"Ahh The screams were sharp and loud, and the scalp tingled to hear them. But the guards didn't care, and threw the old man who had fainted on the same day.
The Zhuangzi was already filled with shouting voices. From time to time came the screams of women, the cries of men, and the begs for mercy. The shouting and scolding of the soldiers and the neighing of livestock and poultry were like a pot of porridge.
Liu Fei's fingers were bloody, and the deep tooth marks had bitten through the flesh, revealing Bai Sensen's bones. Fortunately, Cheng Ying arrived in time and knocked the girl unconscious with one punch. Otherwise, it would be impossible to say that the king of Jiangdu would be missing a finger.
"I don't know how to lift, come here. Burn this Zhuangzi for me, damn me, I want this house to burn over. Everybody's been stabbed. ”
"No"
The soldiers couldn't wait for a long time, they looted a lot of things. For fear that the bitter master will ask for it in the future, he will not do anything at this time, and directly kill the pleasure.
Billowing smoke rose at the foot of Jiulong Mountain, and the rich and peaceful Zhuangzi became a hell on earth. Everywhere there were burning houses, and everywhere there were slain households. Many of the women's corpses were not covered with an inch on their bodies, and their livestock, fat pigs and poultry were all loaded into ox carts and pulled away. Baoying County is very close to here, and they will return to Jiangdu tomorrow.
The soldiers robbed a lot of goods. Many of them carried bulging bags of money, and they made a noise as soon as they walked.
The county order of Baoying County has long been gone, and during the Seven Kings Rebellion, a group of officials loyal to the imperial court were killed. After the Han army put down the rebellion. A group of officials loyal to King Wu were also killed. Kill and kill, and in the end there will be no officials. It's really not easy to find someone who can read and break words these days, let alone find so many people at once. So. For more than half a year. Baoying is in a state of anarchy.
"Report, Lord Lieutenant. Rajah. Big things are not good. The tax collectors and soldiers we sent out to collect were intercepted and killed by Xiang Sanqiu. From noon to now, only thirty or fifty people have fled back one after another. Others. Didn't come back. I'm afraid it's more than lucky. ”
As soon as the two of them returned, they heard the lieutenant who stayed in the county town hurriedly coming to report.
"What." Liu Fei and Cheng Ying were shocked when they heard it. Hurriedly checked the soldiers who had fled, and they were very miserable. Someone's arm was cut off, and yellow and white bone marrow flowed out of the red blood. Some people still have feathered arrows stuck in their backs, and they tremble with every breath. Liu Fei covered his nose and walked among the wounded soldiers, the strong smell of blood made his brain hurt, and he vomited profusely when he lay on a fence. He seemed to have completely forgotten that he had ordered the slaughter of a Zhuangzi at noon.
The teams sent out to collect were distributed in all directions of Baoying, and they were all attacked. Explain that you are already surrounded. inquired about the injuries that escaped back, and Liu Fei's heart was cold.
"Report the city east to find Xiang Sanqiu's banner."
"Newspaper Chengxi found Xiang Sanqiu's banner."
"The north of the city found Xiang Sanqiu's banner."
"Uncle, only Chengnan didn't find Xiang Sanqiu. Let's withdraw from the south of the city, there are only 2,000 soldiers in the city now. Baoying City is small and broken, I'm afraid it's hard to hold on. ”
Liu Fei is still a child after all, and at this time, he no longer has the appearance he had when he first came out of Jiangdu.
"No, this is Xiang Sanqiu's plan to encircle the three and lack one. If I had laid an ambush on his footmen outside the south gate and attacked us while we were out of the city, the soldiers would have been in a hurry to run for their lives, and there would have been no resistance. I'm sure none of us will ever make it back to Jiangdu alive. ”
"So what's the matter?"
"The only way to do this is to hold on and wait for help, but today we have gained a lot of looting. The food will not be out of food for a while, and the most feared thing about defending the city is that there is no food. As long as there is food, it is easy to say. Now the main thing is to gather the people in the city to hurry up and strengthen the city walls. ”
"My nephew is all dependent on my uncle."
Xiang Sanqiu was beating Zhuangzi, who had been slaughtered by Liu Fei's order. Look at the corpses everywhere and the smoking houses. This general, who has been fighting horses for half his life, can't help but sigh.
"General, I have visited and found no living mouths. It is estimated that the king of Jiangdu did it. ”
A lieutenant returned the favor.
"It's late, I just know that this is the biggest force sent out today. I want to concentrate more manpower so that I don't suffer a loss. I didn't expect it to be a step too late. The herald marched and besieged the county seat of Baoying. The people who have plagued my country of Wu will be repaid with blood today. ”
"No"
The soldiers led by Xiang Sanqiu were all from the Wu State, and after the Rebellion of the Seven Kings, their families were affected. Seeing the tragic scene on Zhuangzi, I couldn't help but feel sad. They all speculated about what happened to their families.
It was already sunset when Baoying was encircled, and Xiang Sanqiu looked at the people in the city who were strengthening the city wall. Thinking about how to siege the city
Nearby villagers rushed to help Xiang Sanqiu cut down trees. Seeing Xiang Sanqiu, some veterans of the former Wu Army recognized him. knelt in front of Xiang Sanqiu one after another, counting the sins of the imperial court.
"General Xiang, you saw it. In the past, the prince's Zhuangzi said that he would be slaughtered. The second dog in the Zhuangzi ran out, and it turned out that the new King of Jiangdu wanted to marry the daughter of the Zhuanghu family. As a result, this lady Zilie was stunned and bit the prince. That's it, both grandparents and grandchildren were burned to charcoal.
Hundreds of people just said no, and it was gone. General Xiang, you have to call the shots for us, the king of Jiangdu is not giving us a way to live. ”
Xiang Sanqiu picked up the veterans one by one, and arched his hand: "Although King Wu was defeated, Sanqiu will definitely protect the fathers and elders in his hometown, and whoever bullies you will bully me Xiang Sanqiu." ”
There are not many words, but there is momentum in the words.
The farmers were grateful, and took out the only food they had to give to the army. Xiang Sanqiu didn't ask for it, this was the life-saving food that the farmers hid. However, Xiang Sanqiu, a young man with a strong body, is not welcome, and there are many people who join the army. The young man with a good body collected more than 3,000 in one night, and I heard that the general wanted to exterminate the scourge sent by the imperial court in Baoying City. The veterans picked up their hoes and came to help.
Xiang Sanqiu wiped his beard and smiled in his heart. What kind of fool did the imperial court send to slash and kill people in the land where people's hearts are not peaceful. If you cut well, you can also kill well. This slash and kill brought him endless soldiers and support.
The early morning sun dispelled the thin morning mist through the clouds, and the sun that Xiang Sanqiu hoped for Cheng Ying and Liu Fei hated rose on time. There were only a few faint clouds floating in the sky, and it was a good day. In the past, the peasants would work in the fields, but now they are standing in the military formation.
"These mud legs also help the thieves, and the Lone King will definitely kill them all."
Liu Fei's hand slammed heavily on the arrow stack, and the rough masonry hurt his hand. The prince jumped around like a rabbit again, and it didn't look eye-catching from a distance.
"Behold, the prince jumps his feet in a righteous manner."
Which sharp-eyed one said a word, and Xiang Sanqiu's military formation began to laugh.
"Don't worry, I sent people out of the city last night to ask for help. Baoying County is so big, and there are more than two people in our hands who can fight. There is also an innumerable amount of grain and grass in the city, and there is no problem in supporting it for several months. ”
Cheng Ying comforted the nephew. Turning to the soldiers on the city wall and the black pressure under the city, he shouted: "You all listen, those who bravely kill the enemy will be rewarded by the court after this battle." You know what you did yesterday, and you know what those who want to take revenge and go crazy outside the city once the city is broken. Don't let me say more, in a few days the general of the imperial court, the Marquis of Lintong, will come to rescue us. If you want to live or die, it depends on the sword in your hand. ”
Cheng Ying knew the importance of morale at this time, and began to cheer up the soldiers. It is impossible to count on nephews, only on yourself. Fortunately, my brother Cheng usually teaches himself a lot from time to time, so that he will not panic.
Rumbling drums sounded in the army formation on the opposite side, and groups of soldiers stood on the field. There were also a number of siege engines that were slowly pushed forward, followed by many soldiers carrying ladders. The woods behind him are still being cut down, and the farmers are nervously building ladders and siege engines. General Xiang did not let them go into battle to kill the enemy, and these farmers participated in the battle in their own way.
Xiang Sanqiu looked back at the busy dealers, and the people's hearts were available. (To be continued......)
