Chu Yunfei frowned. This guy was so panicked. Even if the sky was falling, there was no need to be so panicked?
He waved his hand and said: "Shu Mou, don't shout. Come up and speak slowly."
Only then did Ma Shumou realize that he was too nervous, and this nervousness would affect his soldiers.
He hurriedly rushed up to the city wall, bowed slightly to Chu Yunfei and saluted: "Prince Jin, we have asked these people. They said that there are hundreds of thousands of bandit soldiers in front of them, and they are coming towards Jinan City in a mighty manner. These people
The refugees were driven out by them."
Chu Yunfei was also surprised: "What? There are hundreds of thousands of thieves? Do you know who they are?"
I have never heard of such a large-scale banditry near Jinan City. Chu Yunfei was a little surprised when he heard this.
Ma Shumou said hurriedly: "Prince Jin, I heard that they were sent by Gao Zhizhi from the south of the Yangtze River. The leader was a man named Gao Yong."
Chu Yunfei exclaimed: "He is actually a subordinate of the thief Gao Zhizhi? This is a bit strange."
Jiangnan is not close to Jinan City. It will probably take at least ten days for Gao Zhizhi's army to get here. It seems that when he came out of Lu'an County, Gao Zhizhi had already started sending troops to Jinan.
This guy has been prepared for a long time and wants to strangle himself in Jinan City.
Uncle Ma said hurriedly: "Yes, how did this kid come all the way here? This is a bit strange. Prince Jin, the key now is, should we let these refugees in?"
Chu Yunfei thought for a while, and finally shook his head slowly and said: "Shu Mou, don't worry yet. There might be Gao Yong's spies among these people. Just let them take a detour."
Suddenly hearing that the opponent had an army of hundreds of thousands, Chu Yunfei was a little surprised. He only had more than 60,000 people in his hands. He didn't expect that this highly intelligent person could develop so quickly and could easily send an army of hundreds of thousands. This
Could Gao Zhizhi have anything to do with Gao Agu? Did Gao Agu give Gao Zhizhi to the hundreds of thousands of young men whom Gao Agu recruited from Jinan?
Chu Yunfei didn't dare to risk letting the refugees in. After all, the roads around Jinan City were pedestrian-friendly, so he just asked them to take a detour.
Ma Shumou also knew that the matter was urgent, so he hurriedly responded, turned his horse's head, and rushed out with hundreds of sergeants. He stopped the refugees and shouted: "The King of Jin has ordered that everyone should take a detour through Jinan City.
Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be killed without mercy!"
This guy roared so fiercely that the refugees were so frightened that even without Chu Yunfei's order, probably few of them would have dared to rush into Jinan City.
Ma Shumou watched Nan Ming come down from the official road and walk one by one to a remote place in the distance. Then he felt relieved, turned his horse's head, and ran back to Jinan City.
When Chu Yunfei saw Ma Shumou returning to the city, he ordered the city gate to be closed tightly immediately so that Ma Shumou did not have to dismount. He rushed outside the west gate and informed Lu Guangda that he could enter the city!
"Shu Mou, you ask Chief Situ to lead five thousand troops to guard the east gate. You, Quang Da and Xin Fa can lead the other soldiers to rush to the south gate. The military situation is urgent and there must be no mistake!"
Uncle Ma agreed and galloped away!
Chu Yunfei ordered the female soldiers to be on strict alert. Looking around, he saw an endless stream of refugees on the road. There were probably thousands of them, heading west around Jinan City. Most of these refugees had miserable expressions on their faces.
They were all women and children, and most of the young and middle-aged men were probably drafted or died on the battlefield.
Chu Yunfei sighed softly. The battlefield in ancient times was, after all, a killing ground where people killed people without batting an eye. The outcome of the war was unknown, but one thing was certain. In the end, the victims were all ordinary people.
When the refugees were gone, beacon smoke was rising, dust was flying, and the ground was shaking with the sound of horse hooves. Chu Yunfei frowned slightly. The momentum of these thieves reminded him of the group of horse thieves he eliminated on the official road in Jinan.
Already.
The horizon in the distance was filled with darkness, and the crowds were pouring towards Jinan City like water. Chu Yunfei frowned, looking at it like this, it turned out that these traitors were indeed more than 100,000 men.
Although the thieves walked quickly, the distance was still far, so Ma Shumou and Lu Guangda arrived at the south gate ahead of them.
Ma Shumou, Lu Guangda, and Xin Fa climbed up the city wall first. Looking around, they saw that the vanguard of the bandits had arrived at the city gate, numbering about 20,000 people. Other bandits were coming in a steady stream.
Jinan City is here.
Chu Yunfei smiled at the three of them and asked, "What do you think?"
Ma Shumou nodded and said: "Prince Jin, there are indeed hundreds of thousands of these traitors. I wonder where they were looted from?"
Chu Yunfei smiled and said: "You bitch, I'm not asking you for numbers, I'm asking you what you think of the combat effectiveness of these soldiers?"
Ma Shumou hesitated and said: "Well, Prince Jin, the traitors are traitors after all. Although these traitors are many in number, their combat effectiveness is still far behind us."
Chu Yunfei nodded and asked Lu Quanda, "Quanda, what do you think?"
Lu Guangda looked at it for a while and said: "General Ma is right. Although the enemy soldiers are large in number, their discipline is loose. Although their morale is high, they have not condensed into the kind of murderous spirit that is indispensable for battle. It is just a temporary
His courage is nothing to be afraid of."
Chu Yunfei nodded and said, "That's right, Senior Brother Xin, what do you mean?"
Xin Fa bowed slightly and said: "Prince Jin, I don't understand the strategy of conquering and killing, but these people's steps are scattered and scattered, and they don't seem to be as good as the orderly killing of my Sui army."
Chu Yunfei smiled slightly. Although Xin Fa didn't understand soldiers, he could still see some skills. Although these thieves were large in number, they really lacked a murderous spirit.
He then asked: "In your opinion, what should we do?"
Ma Shumou said: "Prince Jin, the thieves have just arrived and their morale is high. As long as we can repel their attacks a few times, the opponent's morale will definitely drop. By then, it will be easy to defeat the enemy."
Chu Yunfei nodded and asked Lu Guangda: "General Lu, what do you think?"
Lu Guangda said thoughtfully: "King Jin, I feel that what General Ma said is true. The wall of Jinan is unbreakable. Our Sui soldiers are brave and good at fighting. As long as we hold on to the city, they will be unable to attack for a long time and will definitely retreat."
Chu Yunfei sighed softly and said: "What the two generals said makes sense, but there are more than 100,000 soldiers in front of us. Our Iron Army of the Sui Dynasty has more than enough soldiers. Although I only have 60,000 soldiers, I have to
It is actually not difficult to crack these 100,000 thieves, but since the other party dares to come, I am afraid that there will not be only these 100,000 people. Since Gao Zhizhi sent Gao Zhong here, he will definitely come after him. If the other party dares to come,
Now that the encirclement has been established, it will be a bit difficult for us to handle it."
