In Anqing City, most of the peasant soldiers in the city are asleep at this time, and even those patrolling outside are absent-minded. Except for the officers and soldiers who attacked Anqing City two years ago, there has been no movement since the year. In fact, this is normal, the number of officers and soldiers
The first attack on Anqing was unsuccessful, and there was no benefit. There was no point in attacking Anqing forcefully.
Because of this, everyone from He Yishan to Feng Cen to the minions below had a calm and relaxed attitude, and their defenses were relaxed. When there was a sudden movement in the direction of Huilin Town, the soldiers on the top of the city suddenly
Before he could react, he looked at the firelight in the direction of Huilin Town. The leader of the team
Only then did he come back to his senses and kicked the guy next to him who was still snoring awake, "Don't sleep, don't even sleep. There is an attack on Huilin Town, and the officers and soldiers are going to attack Anqing. You... hurry up
Go and inform Chief He, and you, tell the brothers at the city gate to be ready to help the brothers from Huilin Town enter the city at any time."
The leader of the team did not think that the less than a thousand soldiers and horses in Huilin Town could block the attack of the officers and soldiers. The soldiers and horses originally deployed on the periphery were used for warning. It was almost impossible to expect them to block the officers and soldiers. Therefore, in
A long time ago, Anqing City formulated a relatively mature plan. As long as there is danger on the outside, Anqing City will respond in time. This will not only give Anqing City enough time to deal with the attack of officers and soldiers, but also the troops and horses on the outside will not suffer too much loss.
many.
The leader of the team also acted according to the plan, but how could he have imagined that Huilin Town had been captured by the officers and soldiers an hour ago. If he had known this, he would not have given such an order even if he was beaten to death. Around the time of Huilin Town
They were captured by the officers and soldiers. It was only in the middle of the Chou period that they saw arrows flying into the sky. It was clear that something was wrong. It can only be said that Anqing City was too confident in this internal and external defense system. No one would think that the officers and soldiers could remain silent.
Take Huilin Town.
When the news reached the government office, He Yishan was lying on the couch and fast asleep. He Yishan has not been relaxed at all recently. Hangzhou has been continuously targeted by the King of Hell, and King Chuang will withdraw in the near future.
Hangzhou Prefecture, return to the Central Plains, this way
, Anqing is particularly important. During the day, Feng Cen and others were called in to discuss the subsequent arrangements. In short, we must keep an eye on the officers and soldiers in the Qianshan area. Once these officers and soldiers are allowed to flow into Chizhou Mansion,
The consequences are disastrous.
It is not an easy job to coordinate the arrangements in the middle, because if something goes wrong, He Yishan will be responsible for it. In two days, Feng Cen will be asked to take some troops to the south to guard, so that one south and one north will be on guard.
can ensure
Nothing is missing. In this area, the only ones worth worrying about are Cao Wenzhao and the troops led by Zhao. Although the living King of Hell is terrifying, his army is still eating ashes after breaking into the king's back, and he will not be able to control Chizhou Prefecture for a while.
matter.
There was a heavy knock on the door, which made He Yishan upset. He had not rested for nearly twenty hours. How could he not be angry when he was woken up for nearly twenty hours? He put on his clothes, opened the door angrily, and shouted at the message.
The minions were just yelling at each other: "You blind thing, what time is it? I don't know if I need to rest? How big of a deal could it be? Look how decent you are with your yelling."
The subordinate panted heavily, bowed his hands and bowed, and then said in a panic: "Boss He, there was a warning arrow in the direction of Huilin Town just now, and there were flames over there. I think the officers and soldiers are coming to attack Huilin Town."
"Huh? Is there such a thing?" He Yishan didn't care about cursing, hastily washed his face, and hurried out the door. He Yishan was not worried about the safety of Anqing City. He was still very concerned about his deployment.
Confident. But it was a bit surprising that the officers and soldiers attacked Huilin Town at this time. When they arrived at the Nancheng fork in the road, they saw a big man leading a dozen soldiers walking over. When he took a closer look, he turned out to be Feng Cen.
"Brother He, you also know? It's really evil. At this time, the officers and soldiers are attacking Huilin Town. Are you sick?" Feng Cen hated these officers and soldiers so much that he didn't even let them sleep well. He walked up.
At the top of the city, I looked into the distance and saw a fire in the distance getting closer and closer to Huilin Town. Judging from the situation, the guards of Huilin Town should have retreated. He Yishan tilted the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly.
He looked at Feng Cen and said, "Brother, please bring someone to help me. I want to see what these officers and soldiers want to do. Do you really think that you can capture Anqing City with a sneak attack at night? In my opinion, Cao Wenzhao and those people are like
I was forced to be anxious."
Feng Cen smiled and nodded, and held his hands in confidence: "Brother He, don't worry, Feng guarantees that the officers and soldiers will not reach the city." Feng Cen dared to say such things, it was no joke. In order to deal with the officers and soldiers,
A lot of fortifications were built outside Anqing City. The houses and temporary walls were like a miniature city. These walls, combined with the city walls, made Anqing City impregnable.
If Tie Mo were here, he would have been very surprised, because the peasant army had no walls around Anqing City, which was similar to the bunkers of later generations. He Yishan was forced to come up with such an idea. The muskets of the officers and soldiers
The soldiers are so powerful. When He Yishan was crossing northern Shaanxi, he didn't suffer much. Later, he encountered the musketeers under the Living King of Hell in Shanxi. In that battle, He Yishan was beaten to disgrace by the musketeers. Later,
After thinking hard, I came up with an idea like this. I hid behind the wall, dug a few small holes, and shot arrows from the small holes.
He Yishan's response method was originally used to deal with Yunfu soldiers and horses, but now it is used on Cao Wenzhao and others. Cao Wenzhao also sent troops to attack Anqing City, but the result was that he suffered a lot under Anqing City. He Yishan
Shan's method wastes people and money, and seems stupid, but it works wonders. If Anqing City was not so difficult to attack, Cao Wenzhao would not always think about sneak attacks. It is really a frontal attack, which is hopeless.
In the time it took for half a stick of incense to be used, a bustling sound could be heard from outside Anqing City. Sure enough, hundreds of peasant soldiers fled back in disgrace. Each of these people were disheveled and looked miserable. Behind them, some people were being harassed by officers and soldiers.
They stopped, and the screams continued. After passing the narrow passage, a strong man waved a big knife and shouted: "Those in front, quickly prepare your bows, arrows and firecrackers. The thieves, officers and soldiers are very powerful, fight them back."
Feng Cen was already prepared and signaled for everyone to pass quickly. The archers and firecrackers were also ready. Soon, a group of officers and soldiers appeared and fired arrows and firecrackers, causing the officers and soldiers to dodge in all directions. After a while,
One of the fierce generals held up a torch and cursed loudly: "Mom, I hope your fate is good, let you live for two more days. He Yishan, I know you are here, listen to me, sooner or later your head will be
My dear, just wash my neck and wait."
The torch reflected that young face. Not to mention Feng Cen, even He Yishan on the top of the city could see it clearly. Isn't this Cao Wenzhao's nephew Cao Bianjiao? He Yishan had an impression of this young man.
Profoundly, Feng Cen deceived him when he was young and wanted to take the opportunity to chop off his head. However, after a dozen moves, he was beaten by Cao Wenzhao until he ran away. In the battle a year ago, Cao Bianjiao and Wu Sangui led two troops to sneak attack.
Anqing City almost blew up the North City Gate, and He Yishan was very impressed by these two men. In comparison, in terms of charging alone, Cao Bianjiao was more powerful than Wu Sangui.
In the middle of the night, Cao Wenzhao actually sent his own nephew out. It seemed that he was really forced to have no choice. In this case, He Yishan felt more at ease. Cao Bianjiao was talking nonsense. Is this irritating the general? Extend your hand.
Pointing in the direction where Cao Bianjiao was, He Yishan said loudly: "Cao, you'd better touch your chin to see if the hair has grown back. Just you, you still want to kill me? I'm staying in Anqing City."
Wait, are you coming?"
Cao Bianjiao glared and spat fiercely, "Bah, it's no wonder that you are a hero who has been famous for a long time, but you are also a courageous gangster. Since you don't dare to come out, I won't play with you anymore.
,Brothers, withdraw..."
Although it was a retreat, it was done in a very orderly manner, but Feng Cen was a little unwilling to do so. If Cao Bianjiao attacked Anqing City, he would definitely kill more than half of Cao Bianjiao's men. If he was lucky and killed Cao Bianjiao, it would be a great achievement.
After confirming that Cao Bianjiao had evacuated, Feng Cen sent people to search along the road to Huilin Town. He couldn't help but feel a little shocked. There were many corpses lying scattered on both sides of the road. Most of them were disheveled and even had no clothes in their hands.
He didn't have any weapons. It can be imagined that Cao Bianjiao's sneak attack on Huilin Town was very successful. If Huilin Town hadn't released the sounding arrow in time, Cao Bianjiao might have succeeded.
At the beginning of the Mao period, we finally had preliminary statistics. They were attacked by Cao Bianjiao and lost nearly 400 people overnight, which made He Yishan very angry. Fortunately, Cao Wenzhao and the others were in a hurry to go to Chizhou Mansion. If they had enough time
, Slowly grinding, Cao Wenzhao ate three to four hundred people at a time, and he was able to drive someone crazy as he continued to consume.
Feng Cen returned to the government office and quickly found a cup to get himself a cup of tea. He drank a few sips and then said with a sullen face: "Brother He, Huilin Town suffered a lot of losses this time. The barracks were destroyed, and there are many brothers."
We were driven out before we had time to resist, and many people died along the way. If the signal hadn't been sent out in time, we might have really suffered."
"Well, I asked someone about it. In just half an hour, nearly 400 people were lost. The loss is not small. Those remaining brothers need to be comforted. In addition, inform the people in other places that they must be safe.
Be on guard. Cao Wenzhao is now a mad dog with an eager mind and can do anything. Since he sent Cao Bianjiao to sneak attack Huilin Town, he wants to make arrangements in other directions."
Feng Cen deeply agreed and nodded gently, "The brothers who escaped from Huilin Town are just a little weak in energy and energy. I think they will be fine after two days of rest."
He Yishan was afraid that something would happen again, so he didn't dare to sleep all night. He, Feng Cen and others paid close attention to the movements everywhere, but until dawn, there was no attack on other places, not even the shadow of officers and soldiers.
He didn't even notice it. Now He Yishan didn't dare to sleep anymore, because the development of things was completely different from what he expected.
At Chenshi, He Yishan was walking around the house, looking a little uneasy. There was a bowl of hot porridge on the table, but he had no appetite at all. The door was pushed open, and when he looked up, he saw Feng Cen striding forward.
Walked in. Feng Cen walked into the room and didn't say anything. He just smiled bitterly and shook his head at He Yishan. He Yishan couldn't help but be confused, "There is no movement in other places?"
"No, and according to reports from our people, since Cao Bianjiao withdrew from Huilin Town, the officers and soldiers in Qianshan area have been unable to retreat, and there is no sign of using troops at all. In addition, Qin Liangyu from the west also led his troops to Qianshan
The county is approaching, but he has no intention of attacking Anqing." Feng Cen hesitated and whispered: "Brother He, do you think we are thinking too much? Cao Wenzhao just made a feint, his real intention was to go around from the south
past?"
After thinking about it for a moment, He Yishan shook his head, "It's impossible. Not to mention the lack of time. Even if you want to go around from the south, you should send troops to move closer to the south at this time. However, the officers and soldiers in Qianshan County have not yet
It is unreasonable to stand still."
"No, there must be something wrong." When He Yishan was in northern Shaanxi, he had to deal with Cao Wenzhao a lot. In his impression, Cao Wenzhao was a very difficult person to deal with. If Cao Wenzhao didn't have many skills,
Brush will not be taken seriously by the Living King of Hell and entrusted with important tasks. "We must have overlooked something. It is impossible for Cao Wenzhao to do nothing."
Suddenly, a thought flashed through He Yishan's mind, and his face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, "Brother, where are the people who escaped from Huilin Town? Have you sent someone to check their identities?"
"It's arranged in Nancheng. Identity verification? After a hard night's fighting, we were very exhausted. Everyone fell asleep. Even the verification would have to be later..." Seeing He Yishan's frightened eyes,
Feng Cen understood something instantly. He said in shock, "Brother He, do you mean there is something wrong with the brothers who escaped from Huilin Town?"
"If there is any problem, just check it and we will know. Hurry... don't delay. If there is a problem, something big will happen!" He Yishan gestured and took Feng Cen out of the house.
, but as soon as he stepped out the door, he heard a loud noise, and the ground shook three times.
"What's going on? Where did the sound come from?" He Yishan was furious. After a while, soldiers rushed into the yard in panic, "Oh no, someone blew up the south gate, and it's already heading south now."
The wall outside the door rushed away..."
He Yishan's face turned pale, and he patted his thigh in frustration, "It's over, it's over, those people really have a problem. No... we still have a chance... before Cao Wenzhao's main force arrives.
, hurry up and get rid of these dogs..."
It's easy to say, but too difficult to do. When He Yishan came to the Nancheng Gate, he saw an empty doorway, and the Nancheng was in a mess. Many people were in a state of semi-confusion and couldn't do anything at all.
Not sure who is the enemy and who is the friend
The south city was in chaos, and the wall outside the city gate was even more miserable. A group of people blew up the city gate and attacked the houses near the wall. At this time, the peasant army responsible for the defense was still catching up on their sleep, and many people had not yet reacted.
