Chapter 730: The Wind Rises
The people of Zhengyang County, who are accustomed to living a peaceful life, were shocked by the successive events in the county and almost lost the ability to think. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Li clan colluded with the barbarians to rebel, and they actually wanted to lure the barbarians into Zhengyang County? When the rumors in the market were still being questioned, a team of county soldiers had already left the camp and went straight to the mansions of the Li family and the Ge family, and the people of the second mansion were tied up on the street like shrimp to receive the attention of countless people. Immediately after that, the announcement of the county government was posted all over the streets and alleys, on which the crimes of Li Geer's family were counted, and the people of Zhengyang County who saw all this were dumbfounded.
Then anger began to spread throughout the city.
In the minds of the people of Zhengyang County, barbarians are synonymous with barbarism. Over the years, the things represented by the word barbarian have almost disappeared in front of the eyes of all the people, that is, those who read books will find those painful memories of those years in historical allusions. But in the past two years, the news from the four counties of the Northland has reawakened people's memories of that era.
The fear of the barbarians returned to the minds of the people, fortunately, the imperial army surrounded the barbarians in the four counties of the north, originally thought that they were already the turtles in the Weng, no one would have thought that the dignified court general, Zhengyang gentry, would unscrupulously seduce those barbarians for money, wanting to turn Zhengyang County into the world of barbarians.
No one wants to become a slave to the barbarians again.
Zhengyang County is rich, and the people can almost call it a well-off family, but the more such people, the more afraid they are of the barbarians, they don't want the wealth they have worked so hard to gather will be owned by the barbarians in a blink of an eye.
"The angry people of the city gathered in front of the prison and demanded the execution of the Li Geer clan who had colluded with the barbarians." An official trembled and reported to Liao Hui, "There are too many people, and I am afraid that they will storm the prison." ”
"My lord, it's not good, countless people have broken through the mansion of Li Ge's second clan guarded by the officials, and are pushing the walls and tiles inside, and the two mansions have almost been razed to the ground." Another officer rushed in with a pale face.
Liao Hui's face turned pale, but the other two people in the room looked as usual.
"The troops of General Wu, Li Wei, and the two battalions of Ge Xiang are now on their way back to Zhengyang County, and we have completely blocked the news of Zhengyang County, so now, they probably think that Zhengyang County is opening its door to welcome their return!" Tian Zhen smiled: "We have two days to prepare. ”
Wu Ling nodded. "There are 3,000 soldiers in the county, I brought 1,500 people, and 1,000 eagle falcons under General Tian Zhen, a total of 5,500 people, this is all our troops. And what we have to face is not only Li Wei, the 10,000 people of the second division of Gexiang, but also the army of the barbarians who will follow closely, for three days, we have to defend for three days. ”
"Isn't General Wu Ling confident?" Tian Zhen asked with a smile.
"The combat effectiveness of the county soldiers is worrying." Wu Ling shook his head: "I don't have to worry about the 1,500 people, of which 500 people are from the Agni Death Camp, and the other 1,000 people are recruited by me in Changyang County, most of them are the old troops of the former General Wu, and the other part is also in the Shuntian Army, they can be regarded as veterans, General Tian, how about your 1,000 eagle falcons?" ”
"The Eagle Falcon is the assault force of the Eagle's Nest, which has been trained for a long time and is extremely strong in combat." Tian Zhen said proudly.
"I'm not asking about their individual combat capabilities, but about their collective combat capabilities on the battlefield." Wu Ling shook his head.
"They used to raid mostly in small groups, but this is the first time they have participated in this large-scale group operation, but I believe in them." Tian Zhendao. "General Wu Ling has rich combat experience, I believe you can make good use of them."
Wu Ling glanced at Tian Zhen and nodded, then he was relieved. He wasn't really worried about the Eagle Falcon's combat effectiveness, but worried that when he was fighting, his orders would not be smooth, and his combat orders would not be implemented, after all, they would belong to the special forces of the Eagle's Nest and their boss Tian Zhen was also in the city.
Tian Zhen's words showed that he would not interfere in the battle, and he also gave Wu Ling the command of the Thousand Eagle Falcon, which made Wu Ling really feel at ease.
"The people's hearts are available." Liao Hui's face slowly returned to normal, in fact, he was not afraid of external attacks, but was frightened by the fierce reaction of the people of Zhengyang County. "In Zhengyang County, there are more than 100,000 permanent residents, of which 30% are young and middle-aged, and these people can be armed. You can have more than 10,000 soldiers out of thin air. ”
"I think it's feasible too." Tian Zhen nodded and said, "Not to mention that if you really let them go into battle to kill the enemy, it's good to have a strong momentum." ”
Wu Ling categorically refused, he had experienced the rebellion of the Shuntian Army, when Mo Luo's seemingly invincible army of hundreds of thousands was broken by Qin Feng's elite small force at the touch of a button, and the appearance of killing people was still vivid.
"It's not about having a lot of people to fight, sometimes it's bad when there are too many people, these people haven't been on the battlefield at all, they haven't fought before, and once they are emotionally unstable, it will affect other people." Wu Ling shook his head and said, "Fight, I don't need them." However, Lord Liao can still organize them, patrol the city, in case of small nights, transport the wounded, supplies, etc., there are still a lot of things to do, they have done all these things, and I can also use every force to defend the city. ”
"Okay, I'll organize them, I have to let them have something to do, otherwise if this trouble continues, the city will be unstable, and maybe the remnants of Li Ge's second clan will take the opportunity to make trouble."
Wu Ling nodded: "Stability in the city is the top priority. ”
After a whole day of noise, Zhengyang County finally calmed down. The martial law order issued by the county government began to play a role, Liao Hui is still quite a capable figure, after all, in Zhengyang County, the Liao family is also a famous family, after the Xu, Li, and Ge clans have fallen one after another, the Liao family has become the No. 1 family.
In every street and alley in the city, every square and every mile, a support team was quickly set up, they had no weapons, just a wooden stick in their hands, patrolling the territory they were responsible for, Zhengyang County, and quickly quieted down.
Compared with the quiet city, the city wall is in a state of extreme busyness, countless weapons have been carried to the city, unpacked with oiled paper, shiny all kinds of weapons, shining under the light of the torches, the veterans silently took out these weapons, began to install on the city.
The latest crossbow arrows, stone cannons, now everything in Zhengyang County, from Qin Feng inspected Zhengyang County, decided to close the door to fight dogs, as bait Zhengyang County has become the focus of the whole plan, Daye, Taiping The latest weapons have been secretly transported here, which is also the reason why Wu Ling is full of confidence.
In Zhengyang County, although there are not many soldiers, the weapons are first-class, and they have everything. Coupled with the tall and sturdy walls of Zhengyang County, whoever comes to attack will pay a heavy price.
Dozens of miles away from Zhengyang, two fire dragons from different places officially gathered together, Li Wei's face was extremely gloomy, and Ge Xiang was also extremely ugly with him.
"Isn't there any news from Zhengyang County yet?"
"Not yet." Behind him, an officer responded. "We have sent out more than a dozen waves of people to contact General Li Bo, but so far, none of them have returned. General, is something happening in Zhengyang County? ”
"What could happen?" Ge Xiang snorted coldly: "In Zhengyang County, there is also Liao Hui, he shares honor and disgrace with us, Li, Ge, and Liao join forces, even if there is any objection in the city, it will be quickly suppressed." ”
"Zhengyang County has Liao Hui in charge, there should be no problems, Liao Hui is just not decisive enough, but since Li Bo has gone back, of course he will press him, don't worry about these for now, the army is speeding up, so as to enter the city early tomorrow morning, take over Zhengyang County, and welcome the Yan army, as long as Zhengyang County is taken, we will win most of this battle."
"I wonder if the barbarians will be in time?" Ge Xiang sighed lightly: "Time is a little tighter after all, I thought there were still two months to prepare, but now it is a hasty start, and I always feel that there are loopholes everywhere." ”
"Wait any longer, and we'll be fish in the net." Li Wei sneered: "If the Yan people want to succeed, they must rely on us to take Zhengyang County, they dare not delay in the slightest, if we are destroyed, their plan will be completely ruined." ”
The two walked slowly side by side, and although Li Wei said it hard, the expression on his face couldn't hide it from Ge Xiang.
"I heard that I was cooperating with the barbarians to counterattack Zhengyang County, and those officers of the Zhengyang battalion didn't say anything in front of them, but on the way out, hundreds of people had already run." Ge Xiang said in a low voice: "Where are you doing?" ”
"That's why I'm going to march as fast as I can. Now the morale of the army is unstable, and there is an endless stream of soldiers who desert from the volunteers, and the number of people who run away is not less than yours. Li Wei nodded and said: "As long as you enter Zhengyang County and control this point, you can stabilize the morale of the army, otherwise the time will drag on, and there will be more people running." ”
Ge Xiang sighed heavily: "Why did you reveal your stuffing so quickly?" Now I feel really bad, I originally thought that the plan was perfect, but this early start, I feel that there are loopholes everywhere. Levi, Panshi, Blue Wolf, and Ruijin can rush to the Zhengyang County in three or five days at most, and if the barbarians can't arrive in time, we will be finished. ”
"So we have to control the county town, and we have the walls to defend, even if these war camps arrive here, what can we do? When the time comes, the Yan army will come to a counter-encirclement, and we will be able to break the opponent if we bloom in the middle. ”
