Chapter 46 Night Talk(1/2)
Pingcheng.
The city wall is filled with the smell of burning.
He looked a little embarrassed.
There is a piece of tatters on the east side and a gap on the west side.
The panicked civilians were trembling and were lowered into the city to clean up the battlefield.
"Who the hell did this?"
"What a sin!"
"Look at this big gap, how it was smashed into!"
The migrant workers who repaired the city walls were skilled workers and received slightly better wages, as they did not have to go to the city to pick up corpses.
But when I saw the big gap in the city wall, I couldn't help but exclaim.
The intensity of the war was far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Even if an ordinary person hits this big gap with a hammer, it will take a while, right?
"This piece is broken and needs to be replaced."
"My piece is also cracked."
"There are not so many stones to make up for it!"
After some repairs, the migrant workers found that the wall building blocks that the government army had prepared were no longer enough for them to use.
The supplies Pingcheng had previously stored could no longer keep up with the consumption of this war.
Within the city walls.
In the military tent.
The government troops prepared and rested.
In hearty laughter.
Wei Tao received the "Lingzhou Prefecture Army Reinforcements".
This army, which calls itself "Lingzhou Prefecture Army", has about 3,000 troops.
There are three leaders in total.
They are all powerful martial artists with extraordinary strength.
When they broke into the northern camp of the Wanping Army, they relied on the bravery of these three people to open a bloody path.
"City Lord Wei, here is Zhang Yin. This is my second brother Yu Mu and my third brother He Peng."
The three of them met with Wei Tao.
The leading young man, Zhang Yin, looked the most mature, and he was neither humble nor overbearing when he spoke.
Wei Tao smiled and nodded to the three people.
Notice that Zhang Yin's feet are wearing straw sandals made of wheat straw.
His face does not change color.
Still praised him sincerely.
"As expected, they are all handsome and handsome men!"
Zhang Yin was not humble after hearing Wei Tao's praise.
He smiled and said: "When we heard about the banditry in the three prefectures of Tongzhou, we raised our troops at night to suppress the bandits."
His original intention was to show that he cared about the people and the country and wished he could put down the banditry immediately.
But in the ears of Wei Tao, an official, he felt that these three people were a little too impatient.
As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the food and fodder should go first.
Marching and fighting is a science. If you just do it as you say, you are no different from bandits and bandits.
When he thought of this, he suddenly froze.
Zhang Yin still kept his smile and asked directly: "I wonder how City Lord Wei will arrange for me to wait?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two sworn brothers started to argue.
"Yes, Lord City Lord, our brothers have been hungry for a long time after traveling such a long way."
"It's better to arrange a dinner early and have some wine and meat."
These two guys are big and thick, and they don't have any rules.
Zhang Yin scolded the two of them on the spot: "Shut up!"
Wei Tao's face changed slightly.
He smiled very stiffly: "The two warriors are right. True love is revealed in life and death. It is indeed a blessing for Pingcheng to have all of you to help."
"but."
Wei Tao paused and then emphasized his tone: "Right now, Pingcheng has been besieged by thousands of thieves for many days. The city is in short supply of supplies. It's true that we can't come up with big fish or meat to entertain you."
"Sorry for any inconvenience."
Wei Tao's direct refusal made Zhang Yin and the others unable to hang on for a moment.
He Peng was the most impatient and shouted directly at Wei Tao.
"What do you mean?"
Everyone really didn't expect that these "reinforcements" were so vulgar.
Wang Meng, who was standing next to Wei Tao, pulled out half of the cold knife and shouted angrily: "Bold!"
Wang Meng is also very strong physically.
Standing there still, you can tell that he looks like a fierce general.
At this moment, he suddenly broke out and his eyes widened with anger.
The overwhelming momentum was overwhelming.
Unexpectedly, He Peng's aura was not inferior to his.
Seeing Wang Meng draw his sword, he also smiled ferociously and moved forward, showing no fear at all.
Wei Tao was secretly surprised.
Wang Meng is almost the strongest general under his command.
These three people, who seem to have no rules, are quite powerful.
I couldn't help but look a little higher.
"City Lord Wei?"
Zhang Yin's face also turned cold.
However, Wei Tao still expressed his views bluntly.
"It is indeed difficult to provide food and wine in the army. If you feel that the army is poor, you can go to the inner city for entertainment. Several restaurants in the inner city are still open."
"This kind of thing costs a little money, but it doesn't cost much."
He gave Zhang Yin and the three of them to go down the steps.
Yu Mu and He Peng were just about to say where they got the money.
Zhang Yin spoke before the two of them.
"Okay, that being the case, I won't bother City Lord Wei any more, so I'll take my leave."
Zhang Yin finished speaking.
He took Yu Mu and He Peng with him and left.
After these three people left, Wang Meng spoke.
"City Lord, these Lingzhou soldiers..."
Wei Tao sneered and interrupted Wang Meng.
"What government army?"
The government troops were all fake. Wei Tao had not figured out where so many government troops came from at first. You must know that Pingcheng only had a thousand government troops on standby, and it was briefly expanded to 3,000 during the war.
If it weren't for the martial arts strategy he had arranged in the early years, he might not have been able to attract so many people in such a short time.
If you can bring out three thousand troops, it must be a big city.
But now the Wanping Sect is blooming in all directions, and the Wanping Sect is everywhere.
The imperial court's order was to "prepare for defense in various places" and did not order "mutual assistance".
If it were really supported by 3,000 government troops, I'm afraid even Jiangning Prefecture wouldn't be able to do it.
To be continued...
