Chapter 220: The county granary

On the afternoon of the tenth day of the fourth month, the exhausted Shu army arrived at a county town called Deyang.

Deyang County was in a dilapidated state, the city walls were washed down by the rain, there were many gaps, and the city gates were wide open and unguarded.

However, it is not an empty city, and there are still people living in it, but it has become scarce.

The Shu army entered the city, and the figures on the street hurriedly rushed into the house, slammed the door shut, and hid inside tremblingly to peep out.

When Liu Dalong saw this scene, he felt a little pain in his head. Now the situation is neither good nor bad, if you want food, there must be food in the city, but there are definitely not many.

And if you insist on collecting grain, I'm afraid you will have to be a robber again.

Moreover, as a robber, you may not be able to collect food in a short time. One is that the forces should not be too dispersed, and the other is that they are not familiar with the situation in the city now, and they do not know who has food and who has a large amount of food.

However, Liu Dalong is unwilling to stay here for a long time, once the time drags on, I am afraid that something bad will happen.

has already experienced a camp roar, and Liu Dalong is never willing to experience it a second time.

The Shu army walked along the avenue, the road in Deyang was not good, it was muddy on rainy days, and on sunny days, as it is now, as soon as many people trampled it, it was dusty.

When they arrived at an inn, the Shu army broke in, and then it was like breaking into a rat's nest, a group of unclothed and skinny refugees fled without saying a word, and those who went through the back door went through the back door, and those who climbed over the wall, and some even jumped down from the window upstairs, broke their legs, and crawled on the ground screaming, and they also wanted to stay away from the Shu army.

It seems that they were frightened by the army.

The Shu army did not chase after these refugees, and after entering the inn, they searched everywhere to check for hidden dangers and perhaps possible food.

It turned out to be regrettable, there was no food in the inn, the cellar was found, and all the wine in the cellar was gone. Found the kitchen, the kitchen was clean, and there was not a single cockroach. Fortunately, there are no obvious hidden dangers, the inn can also live people, and because of the four walls, it is barely easy to attack.

Liu Dalong commanded and dispatched, arranged open and dark sentinels, and designated the rotation time of each battalion.

didn't find food in the inn, Liu Dalong was still unwilling, and after arranging everything, he took more than 300 people and horses, plus Ghost Cry Caiwei to accompany him, and walked straight to the city.

The further you go inside, the more buildings are destroyed. The doors of many shops have been demolished, and many houses of high-ranking families have been burned to ruins, and the ruins of broken arms are depressed in the wind.

After walking around, I finally found the county office.

The results were disappointing, and the county government was also burned a lot, and there were obvious signs of fighting around it, and even several decomposing corpses were seen.

Just when everyone was ready to return empty-handed, a roar suddenly came from the east side of the county office.

Everyone hurriedly rushed over, but it was a "county commander" wearing an official robe, holding a big belly, and dragging an iron chain, and exchanged hands with more than a dozen Shu army soldiers.

"Get out!" the magistrate roared, his fat trembling, like a fierce boar. His small eyes were dyed red, his mouth showed fangs, and he muttered: "Don't want to rob the official's food, it's the official's, it's all the official's......"

As he spoke, he waved the iron chain and slammed it on the shield raised by the Shu army soldiers. Suddenly, the shield covered with iron was dented, and the soldiers of the Shu army holding the shield trembled all over, staggered back, and withstood the strange power of the iron chain whipping.

Just when they couldn't hold it anymore, they heard a loud yell: "Shoot!"

The sound of breaking the air sounded one after another, and the county magistrate let out a terrible howl, his fat body was like armor, even if the whole person was almost shot into a hedgehog, he was still alive. With red eyes, he glanced at the crowd who were rushing towards him, retreated into the room, and slammed the door shut.

"General!" the leader of the dozen or so Shu soldiers shouted excitedly: "There is food in the room." ”

"Really?" Liu Dalong's eyes widened, and he asked happily, "You didn't lie to me?"

The leader of "this ......" was a little embarrassed: "It was the monster himself who said it." ”

The ghost cried silently, looked at the room, and was impressed at first sight, Cai Wei on the side was full of disgust, it seemed that she didn't like the decoration of this room.

Outside the door, strings of rat bones hung on the eaves, like a curtain, emitting a foul smell, and there were obvious signs of gnawing on it.

In the corner of the wall, there is a large pile of white bones, which are infested with insects and ants.

Through the leaky window, a huge figure could be faintly seen, and he seemed to be pulling arrows from his body, and the sound of rattling chains came from there.

Even if he didn't get a clear confirmation, Liu Dalong was still excited, because he recognized that this was the granary in the county government.

He said, "You rest first, and we'll take care of the rest." ”

The leader of the dozen or so soldiers hurriedly nodded: "Please general, but you have to be careful of that monster, that guy's strength is really terrifying." ”

Liu Dalong nodded: "I naturally know." ”

More than a dozen people got out of the way, and under the command of Liu Dalong, nearly a hundred gunners and shield swordsmen squeezed in, filling the fairly spacious courtyard.

The big shield and the big shield are interlocking and leaning forward. A spear or two fell and rested on top of the big shield, and in an instant, the entire military formation seemed to have turned into a hedgehog.

The archer climbed up the wall, adjusted his arrows and crossbows, and aimed them at the wall of the granary.

"Enter!" Liu Dalong called.

"Drink!" the soldiers shouted and marched forward in order.

The county magistrate inside roared: "Get out, it's all the official's, it's all the official's......"

The soldiers turned a deaf ear and just moved forward. Suddenly, the sword and shield hand squatted down, and more than a dozen men threw out hooks and hooked up the wall. Dozens of men grabbed the ropes, screaming and pulling backwards.

Rumble!

A cloud of smoke filled the air, and a wall collapsed.

Suddenly, the wind was loud, and the huge body of the county commander rushed out of the billowing smoke and dust, and the iron chain in his hand whined, and with a huge force, it was drawn towards the soldiers.

Boom!

The shield withstood the blow, and on the shield, the spears seized the opportunity and stabbed out one after another.

At the same time, the sound of breaking the air overhead sounded one after another, and the shooters shot the arrows in their hands for the first time.

The county magistrate screamed again and again, bleeding all over, the black gauze hat on his head was picked off with a shot, and his hair was scattered all over his head, and he was extremely embarrassed.

He rolled mellow on the ground, retreated into the room, let out a dull roar, and broke several pillars with a wave of chains, and suddenly there was another loud bang.

The house had just collapsed a wall, and now even the roof had collapsed, blocking the way for the soldiers.

Inside, the county commander was still roaring: "It's the official's, it's all the official's." ”
