"No one can fight like you!" Jordan was even more furious when he heard this, "These people are all from Yizhou."
"Hasn't Qiao Ping heard the saying that kindness cannot lead an army?" Hu Ping was unmoved at all. "There is no one who can't die in a war. Qiao Ping, if you can't stand it, you can go and stay behind. This person is risking his own life."
Let us, those of us who have been in the military for a long time, do the work."
Li Yang stood on the row of wooden platforms in the camp and looked at the chaos below. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Nearly two hours had passed since the war started. Although not many people were injured here, many people
He was exhausted. There were crossbows with broken bowstrings thrown everywhere on the wooden rafts, and some even had their bow arms broken. He had paid great attention to rotating personnel, but there were too many enemies.
Winter nights always come earlier. He looked up at the sky and thought that it must be Shenshi now, and it must be less than an hour before dark. As long as the sky gets dark, the opponent will definitely retreat. But
Today is over, what should we do tomorrow?
"Brothers, if you hold on for a while, it will get dark soon. If we hold on for a while, they will retreat." Li Yang walked back and forth along the raft, constantly encouraging everyone.
He was counting the time here, and Luo Shang was also counting the time there. Seeing that the ladder in front could not be climbed, Luo Shang already knew in his heart that today's attack had failed. He once again underestimated the opponent's means and will to resist.
.
He had also sent people to fight against the refugees a few times before. Although he did not win, it could not be said that he was defeated miserably every time. Even Qin Si's troops had the upper hand every time. This time he personally led the army, thinking that he could do it in one fell swoop.
They defeated the opponent, but they didn't expect that the opponent's camp was so dangerous. Not to mention capturing the opponent, they didn't even touch the opponent's camp.
His official career was extremely smooth throughout his life. His debut was when he joined the army when Wang Rong conquered Wu. Along the way, the Wu people surrendered in defiance of the wind, but they had never encountered such tenacious resistance.
He also remembered his uncle Luo Xian. After the Shu merchants surrendered to Zhong Ai, Luo Xian, then the governor of Badong, was guarding Yong'an. At a time when people were panicking, Soochow took the opportunity to attack the city and seize territory under the pretext of helping Shu merchants.
Luo Xian, the commander-in-chief, with less than 8,000 men, defeated the 60,000 elite soldiers of Soochow. He was at his uncle's house and personally experienced the half-year-long battle.
With these two battle experiences, Luo Shang always thought that he was also an all-rounder with the ability to bring peace and stability to the country. But he never imagined that a small group of refugees could make him so embarrassed.
"Your Majesty," Jordan hurriedly returned from the front line and said, "The front is too chaotic. From the point of view of my subordinates, it is difficult to perform successfully today. It is better to withdraw the troops from the front to expand the camp while it is still early. Wait until tomorrow, and we will
It’s not too late to attack again.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Si returned with Jordan this time, and he said with a look of sorrow and indignation: "The trenches dug by the refugees were too clever, and our ladder couldn't even go up.
The soldiers were completely passive and had no power to fight back. Withdraw your troops, Your Majesty!"
"Oh, if I had known this, I shouldn't have gone out to lead the troops today." Luo Shang didn't know that he couldn't defeat the opponent today. He had been waiting for someone to come and give him advice so that he could get off the ground.
He first turned around and looked at the expressions of the people around him. The eyes looking at him were full of expectation, as if they were waiting for him to say the word "withdrawal".
"Then withdraw." Luo Shang thought to himself. He paused when he was about to say the word "withdraw."
He saw the sneer that inadvertently revealed from the corner of Jiang Fa's mouth on the far side.
Instantly, a strong sense of shame surged out of his heart, followed by anger.
People from out of state actually saw it as a joke!
He was looked down upon by the vulgar barbarians!
"Bold Qin Si, you actually spoke nonsense to disturb the morale of our army!" When Luo Shang thought of this, his face suddenly became extremely cold, "If you can't take down the refugee camp today, you can come to see me yourself."
Seeing Jordan and Qin Si's dumbfounded and puzzled expressions, Luo Shang shouted to Jordan again: "Jordon, beat the drums to cheer, attack with the whole army, and capture the opponent's camp!"
"What?" On the other side of the camp, when they heard Luo Shang's latest order conveyed by the knight who was rushing over on horseback, Jian Lan and Ruban looked at each other. Their first reaction was whether they heard it wrong.
Already.
The fighting situation on their side was far less intense than that on Qin Si's side. The attack here was weak, and the shooting there was sparse. As early as three days ago, before the rain stopped, Jian Lan and Ruban were on their own
The camp received a "guest", Yan Shi.
Although Yan Shi brought them a large amount of gold baht, they accepted it without hesitation. Yan Shi did not stay long, and did not even mention their attack on the refugees. After a few casual conversations, they left.
Go. They were not asked to make any promises, which made Ru Ban and Jian Lan secretly relieved. But after collecting other people's belongings, they naturally slowed down their attack. Ru Ban, who was observing carefully, was the first to discover that not only
Not only them, but also the troops from Yuejun County in Hanjia County nearby seemed to be quite powerful, but the actual effect was very poor.
"Damn it, these damn guys all took Yan Shi's money." Ruban cursed in his heart, but he felt at ease in his heart.
"That guy Yan Shi is a wonderful man. After the camp is breached, we can't let him be killed by the rebels." Ru Ban thought so early in the morning. In his opinion, even if he lets go, the refugees will also be determined.
There was no way to win. By the time Shen Shi was about to pass, Ruban had already lost his thoughts on crossing the river in the morning.
"Well, I'm afraid Yan Shi and the others will hold on till night, and then they will sneak away during the night. That's great. We won't have to fight with each other tomorrow. It's best for you refugees to return to the Yong and Qin states. Let's meet again in the future.
We can still be friends.”
But at this moment, Luo Shang suddenly ordered the entire army to attack, which made Ru Ban stunned and confused.
In Ruban's view, Luo Shang, who had not done any investigation and preparation in advance, would definitely not be able to defeat him even if they did not let go today. For the current plan, the wisest thing to do is to set up camp quickly and then consider the long term. As long as
With sufficient preparation, these two trenches are nothing to fear in the face of a hundred thousand troops. Once they are completely filled, the camp will be very easy to break.
"Old Ru," Jian Lan also looked puzzled, "What should we do?"
"What should we do?" Ruban made a quick calculation in his mind, and then his expression changed drastically: "Old Jian, do you think we can capture the other side today?"
"Impossible." Jian Lan had been in the army for a long time and had already seen this clearly. He had scolded Luo Shang many times in his heart.
"It's going to get dark soon." Ruban whispered to Jian Lan: "But our camp here in Pishui is only small. It's still so cold at night, so we can't go in at that time.
No, there is nowhere to retreat. Old Jian, what will happen when you say that?"
Hearing this, a layer of fine sweat suddenly appeared on Jian Lan's dark forehead. He opened his mouth for a long time before saying two words in fear: "Ying Xiao!"
Historical records: In November of the fourth year of Yongtai, Luo Shang, the governor of Yizhou, led an army to attack the Pili Shuiliu camp, but it was not successful. Li Yang saw that the Luo Shang army camp was not in order, so he led a thousand brave men to make a surprise attack that night, and the Luo Shang camp collapsed.
The dead were not accounted for, and the Pishui River did not flow. From then on, Yizhou no longer had the power to conquer the refugees, so Luo Shang had no choice but to appeal to the court and ask Jingzhou to send troops into Shu to suppress the refugees.
After the defeat of Luoshang, people in Yizhou counties were as panicked as if they were facing a powerful enemy. Powerful men from all over the country built forts for defense, lest they hear news of refugees crossing the river that day. The gates of each county were closed even during the day.
The closure is strictly enforced, and no unrelated persons are allowed to enter the city. This is especially true for some counties close to Pishui, such as Pixian County, Niuchang County, Zizhong County, etc.
In Yizhou in winter, the sunshine is not always so bright. Although the wind is not strong, the weather is getting colder and colder. People from all over the world can hardly see anything in the wild except for building forts for the local people.
People. Of course, it’s not like there are no people at all.
After the Luoshang army was defeated that day, the defeated soldiers were scattered all over the place, either in groups of three or five, or in teams of more than a dozen, and there were also many who were just two people alone.
On this day, in the suburbs of Niuchang County, a girl riding on a maroon horse appeared. She had a strip of snow-white fox fur on her collar, and her big eyes had long and curled eyelashes.
But the look in these beautiful big eyes was blank.
This girl is none other than Xin Wan from the Xin family in Zitong, and her father is Xin Ran, the prefect of Guanghan.
Xin Wan, who ran away from home alone for the first time, tragically got lost.
She ran away from home to find Jordan. She wanted to find Jordan to tell him some shameful things about his father. Xin Wan overheard the conversation between his father and his brother a few days ago, and then she realized that his father
He has always been closely related to the refugees. Even the rumors about the refugees wanting to plant well fields were sent out by his father. Moreover, before Luo Shang attacked the refugee camp, she, who stood firm in Deyang Gucheng,
His father also secretly sent someone to send tens of thousands of feather arrows to Li Yang.
"Wan'er," after Xin Ran heard her exclamation and saw his daughter's frightened face behind the screen, he didn't panic at all. He just said: "It's an adult matter. Children, don't talk too much. You
As long as you know one thing, being a father is not for me alone, but for the more than 300 people in our Xin family."
Later, her brother, who had always loved her, explained to her: "My father has almost lost the entire Guanghan, and the only chance to save it is that other counties and counties also fall into the hands of the refugees. In this way, if the law does not punish everyone, the court will not
I will kill my father. My father has already had many things in our family moved to Yicheng in Jingzhou. As long as the refugees defeat Luo Shijun, my father will abandon Deyang City and lead everyone away to Yicheng. Over there
The prefect is my father's old official, so he will live in peace without any worries."
After Luo Shang's defeat, when everyone in the Xin family was busy relocating, Xin Wan saw an opportunity and ran away. She couldn't understand what her father and her brother were doing anyway. She wanted to find her father.
Brother, tell him these things, tell him that the rations Guanghan gave to General Yabo, in fact, most of them were given to Li Xiang, not Yabo.
It's just that she has never traveled far alone, so she naturally got lost. She originally planned to go to CD, but she ended up in Niuqiang, and she couldn't enter the county gate. She had been pampered since she was a child, so first
For the first time, I learned what it means to be hungry and cold.
At this moment, she was riding a horse chasing a fat gray hare. She had gone hunting several times with her brothers before, but she was always quiet and kind-hearted and usually did not hunt prey. She usually watched her brothers happily.
She was hunting there. However, she was so hungry that she had already put all those unbearable things behind her, and even regretted why she didn't practice archery in the first place. She had shot several arrows in a row, but unfortunately, the hare's movements were too real
It was too fast. Not only did her arrows miss, they even missed by a long way.
Just as she was chasing more and more desperate, suddenly, a long arrow shot from a distance, knocking over the hare that had almost burrowed into the woods. Then, two men wearing tattered clothes walked out of the woods.
One of the men happily ran towards the place where the rabbit rolled, while the other one held a bow and arrow and looked at Xin Wan who was stopping his galloping horse.
If it were in the past, Xin Wan would definitely turn around and leave without saying a word. But now she has been really hungry for almost a day, which makes it almost impossible for her to move. She wants to speak, but she has never spoken like this before.
Her face turned red, but she couldn't say a word.
"Phew!" The man with two long ears holding the rabbit that was still kicking came back and saw Xin Wan approaching them on horseback. He couldn't help but whistled happily. He looked like only two
He is more than ten years old, with disheveled hair, dirt on his face and hands, and a few yellow teeth exposed in his wide grin.
"Wow, what a beautiful girl!" He had just hunted a fat hare, and met such a beautiful woman as Xin Wan. The man couldn't help but be lustful. They were all deserters after the defeat that day, and they were together.
Rushing towards their respective hometowns. Not to mention today's predicament, on ordinary days, with his status, how could he meet a beauty from a big family like Xin Wan.
"Brother Shen," the man winked at the man holding a bow and arrow and said, "Look..."
Brother Shen looked very majestic, and his eyes looking at Xin Wan and her horse showed greed.
"Which family's eldest daughter is missing?" Brother Shen thought to himself: "With such a chaotic situation, we are responsible for this, and no one will know. When the time comes, everyone will go their own way, how can such a thing happen?
I won’t be found out again.”
After making up his mind, Brother Shen said with a warm smile on his face: "Is this lady hungry? It is fate that we meet by chance. Let's come and have a meal together. Old Six, hurry up and lead the horse for this noble lady.
"
Xin Wan did not doubt that he was there, thanked her repeatedly, and followed the two of them into the woods. A fire had already been lit in the woods. There were three people on the other side of the fire. They were holding sticks and sticks in their hands to barbecue. She saw Brother Shen behind him.
Xin Wan, the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed.
