It was just a day of attacking and defending the city. Inside and outside Guangnian City, there were piles of corpses everywhere on the broken city walls and city gates, and the sticky blood stains were almost an inch deep!
Wen Yuan entered Guangnian City with his exhausted body. Two days and one night of sleeplessness made his mind extremely groggy. However, Wen Yuan knew that now was not the time to sleep at all! The troops of the Black Bandits were only temporarily repulsed!
At this time, Guangnian City was as gloomy as hell. Cold corpses lying in pools of blood could be seen everywhere. Many old, weak, women and children who had lost their loved ones were lying on these corpses and crying sadly, but more corpses had lost their original appearance.
Many people in the city called anxiously on the top of the city to look for him.
There were also some soldiers who were lucky enough to survive. There was almost no trace of life in their dull eyes. They stood there blankly, lying in a pool of blood, or relying on a few cold corpses around them. They had gone through such a ordeal.
, no one cares about these things.
At this time, no one cares what kind of governor or general you are. Today, perhaps you will leave an indelible mark on the hearts of all the people of Guangnian City!
This situation did not improve slightly until the strong aroma of wine and meat wafted into the air. Ma Yan dragged his injured leg, which was almost half disabled, and directed the old and young at home to deliver pots of fragrant broth to the city.
Go up.
The soldiers who were lucky to be alive finally had some reaction. They stood up slowly and instinctively moved towards the place where the scent was wafting.
"Eat! Eat hard! You have enough for today! Only when you are full can you have the strength to kill the thief!" The old man of the Ma family, who was always stingy in picking up vegetables, seemed to have changed his temper at this time, bringing bowls of oily broth.
In the young and strong hands of the city guard, the aunt beside him also held stacks of solid mixed flour cakes and stuffed them to everyone.
At this time, Guangnian City became slightly more alive.
After the common people had eaten enough, they, under the leadership of the county captain, cleaned up the corpses piled up outside the city. If they were common people in Guangnian, each household would claim them back. If they were the corpses of the Black Mountain bandits, they would be piled together and searched for.
Come and burn the firewood.
As for the surrendered thieves, they were all tied up by the soldiers in the city and supervising the digging of the filled trenches. The situation was urgent, and Wen Yuan could not control that much. As long as the prisoners resisted even slightly, they would be beheaded on the spot and would not tolerate it!
In addition, Wenyuan also arranged for the county magistrate to command the people who could move overnight to collect surplus grain and bring it into the city, and ordered the county magistrate to lead the county officials to prepare post-war statistics.
After arranging everything, it was already midnight. Wen Yuan was exhausted and walked into the back hall of the county government office to rest.
On the second day, the statistical results were reported to Wenyuan. In this battle, Wenyuan's direct guards suffered 164 casualties, and the Guangnian auxiliary soldiers killed 471 people, 68 were seriously injured, and 2 were slightly injured.
One hundred and thirteen people. Minzhuang suffered more than a thousand casualties. Guangnian City was completely deserted in one day. Almost half of the families lost their relatives, and the whole place was filled with mourning.
In terms of killing the enemy, in this battle, Julu soldiers and civilians beheaded more than 3,000 people and captured more than 5,000 people alive, including about 2,000 young and strong, and more than 3,000 old, weak, women and children. Most of the surrendered Black Mountain bandits were
It was the people who were brought from the villages and forts in nearby counties. They were able to avoid death, but they did not dare to make much noise.
In addition, in this battle, Wenyuan captured a total of more than 200 horses, 32 pieces of armor, and thousands of chariots. The rest of the armor and weapons were not counted. Even the Black Mountain bandits under the city took back seventy percent of the grain and grass that they could not transport away after working hard for a day.
80,000 dendrobium, and the portion will be returned to the people in the city.
Wen Yuan immediately issued an order: Those who died in the auxiliary army would be rewarded with five thousand coins, and they would be exempted from one year's land rent. All survivors would be incorporated into the regular army, and they would be rewarded with one thousand coins. In addition, they would be given five measures of grain, one pot of wine, and three pounds of meat!
Wen Yuan also sent people to send grain and rice to those who died in the civilian households, and selected young men from among the soldiers and ordinary people in Guangnian to join the military households and join the auxiliary army.
After organizing the army, Wenyuan called the county magistrate to inquire about the progress of the autumn grain harvest. This time the Black Mountain bandits besieged the city, and more than 100,000 dendrobiums of grain were looted in Guangnian. Even though Wenyuan took back 60,000 to 70,000 dendrobiums, tens of thousands more were stolen by the thieves.
Go, even if the county magistrate brings his people to harvest the remaining fields, it will take at least three days to mow them all!
In three days, although the Black Mountain Army was defeated, the main force was still there. If they were unwilling to give up, they would definitely send people to inquire about Guangnian. Once they knew that the number of combatable soldiers in Guangnian City was only more than 600, Guangnian City's youth
Most of Zhuang was killed and wounded, but at this time there were still three to four thousand Black Mountain soldiers left in the city!
This is a time bomb that will explode at any time. If the Montenegrin army besieges the city again and reinforcements fail to arrive, it will be in danger for many years!
"These four thousand surrendered soldiers must be sent elsewhere as soon as possible!" There are too many surrendered soldiers, too few defenders, and too many people talking. Once Guangnian is besieged here, there is no guarantee that these Heishan surrendered soldiers will not move. Wen Yuan immediately
It was decided to let Ma Yan lead a thousand young and strong auxiliary soldiers who had just been reorganized to escort the troops from Heishan to Pingxiang and Julu counties and hand them over to their temporary custody. He also sent his own cavalry to rush to Yingtao to ask for reinforcements.
He led more than 600 soldiers from far away to guard the city wall, waiting for reinforcements.
According to Wen Yuan's calculations, two days have passed since he sent people to Yitao to ask for reinforcements the day before yesterday. Calculating the time, reinforcements will arrive within two or three days. Now he can only hope that the previous battle can end Heishan.
The thieves are frightened and should not come to Guangnian again in the next two days.
It's a pity that God did not follow his wishes. Within two days, a large number of Black Mountain bandits appeared outside Guangnian City. Wen Yuan climbed up to the city tower to take a look. He saw that the whole south of the city was crowded with bandits, boundless and dark, like locusts passing through. Look,
That formation probably doesn’t have tens of thousands of people!
In addition, hundreds of Montenegrin cavalry were galloping around the city to spy on what was going on at the top of the city!
At this time, the auxiliary soldiers escorting the prisoners have not returned. In addition to more than 600 soldiers in the city, there are only a little more than 2,000 young men in the city, and the opponent is twenty times as many as the defenders!
Seeing such a formation, the soldiers and civilians defending the city all looked pale and felt timid, as if the brutal offensive and defensive battle the day before yesterday was about to happen again, but this time, no one thought they could hold it.
Wen Yuan saw this and was secretly worried. We were outnumbered and outnumbered. If we lost our spirit again, it would be impossible for Guangnian to hold on!
Thinking of this, Wen Yuanhu's eyes widened and he shouted proudly: "In my eyes, a group of rabble is nothing more than a chicken and a dog's ears! The bandit army must be tired when they come from far away. The personal guards will follow me down to the city! Let Mr. Guangnian see what I do.
Depress his spirit!"
"Yes!" More than a hundred personal guards responded in unison! Each of them looked decisive. As long as Wen Yuan gives the order, even if there are thousands of people, I will go!
The Guangnian garrison who had just joined the main army also looked at each other, and more than 200 people followed Wenyuan out of the city.
Wen Yuan flew down the pass on horseback and walked out through the south gate. More than a hundred guards stood on horseback under the suspension bridge. Wen Yuan held his halberd upside down and rode his horse back and forth, waiting for the Black Mountain bandits to approach.
Sure enough, when the Black Mountain bandits saw Guangnian open the south gate, a small group of a hundred people came forward to fight. Hundreds of cavalry immediately rushed towards the dangerous building. Three troops were also separated from the group, and they set up a formation to face Wenyuan. The number was about
Three thousand!
I saw more than ten people crowding out from the Black Mountain Bandit Gate Flag. Among them were three generals. One of them only had one eye, but it was as wide as a bell. The one on the left had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a thin body. The one on the right had a face full of blood.
The white spots are each more bizarre than the last.
Wen Yuan saw the opponent set up his array, raised his halberd and shouted loudly: "Bold bandit! How dare you invade our county?"
The Montenegrin thieves saw that there were only about 300 people out of the city, so they didn't take it seriously. The Montenegrin general with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was in his thirties, holding a bright silver gun. He rode forward and sneered: "Yu was killed by poison the day before yesterday.
I was so frightened that I wondered how capable the guard was. He was so tall and powerful, but he turned out to be just a young boy in his twenties!"
As soon as this statement came out, the Black Mountain thieves immediately burst into laughter.
The one-eyed man held up a big ax and couldn't help laughing wildly: "Hahaha! With just such a small army, Yu Du can be killed and fled. I see that idiot Yu Du is really getting better and better!"
The thief general with white spots on his face and a slightly fat body pointed at Wen Yuan with both swords and said: "Hey! Boy! With just a few people like you, do you dare to stop the Black Mountain army of Bai Que, Lei Gong, and Li Damu! Only those who know what they are looking for can do it.
Obediently open the city gate and surrender. If your three grandfathers are in a good mood, they will spare your life. Otherwise, when we break the city, be careful not to leave any chickens or dogs behind!"
Wenyuan's halberd danced like a spear, pointed at the Black Mountain generals, and sneered: "There's so much nonsense, are all you Black Mountain thieves so verbose? If you want to conquer the city, first ask your grandfather Zhang if he has the green dragon halberd in his hand."
Say yes!"
The three generals wanted to show off their power under the city and directly use their troops to kill the more than 300 officers and soldiers. However, when they saw that the soldiers and generals under their command all looked contemptuous, they were afraid that they would not fight and be laughed at. As soon as Wen Yuan said this, everyone in Montenegro was shocked.
The general was immediately furious! They all wanted to slap him and come forward to fight with Wen Yuan!
Li Damu looked back at the generals behind him and shouted: "Who dares to fight!"
A general came out in response, riding his horse and carrying his sword to fight Wenyuan, while saying: "General Sun Chang is willing to cut off the head of this little thief and offer it to the commander-in-chief!"
Li Damu cheered: "Okay! Leader Sun is familiar with his sword skills, and he will definitely be able to kill this kid under his horse!"
However, the pointed-mouthed and monkey-cheeked Lei Gong did not forget to remind him: "Be careful, Leader Sun, this guy looks good at martial arts!"
Wen Yuan sneered, rode up to meet the thief, and fought with the thief for more than ten times. Wen Yuan noticed a flaw and stabbed Sun Chang in the left rib with his halberd! Sun Chang howled in pain and spurted blood.
Get off your horse!
The strong defenders of the city cheered in unison! The sound was like a huge thunder! There was a commotion among the Black Mountain thieves under the city, and more than a hundred personal guards looked at each other in confusion. This thief general seemed to have average skills. How did it take more than ten moves for the lord to win today?
Lei Gong was also stunned: "This kid looks mighty, but he turns out to be just an embroidered pillow."
Seeing that his brave generals were killed, Li Damu screamed in anger. Just as he was about to go into battle, two generals on the right had already moved out. They were Han Qian and Wang Kai, the leaders of Lei Gong. It turned out that the two generals Wen Yuan had mediocre martial arts. After adding up, he shot
They joined forces to attack Wen Yuan on the spot and earn some face for their commander.
"Well done!" A strange smile flashed across Wen Yuan's lips, and he stepped forward with his halberd raised.
However, Wen Yuan single-handedly challenged two generals. Although he showed no fear on his face, he was clumsy. He was almost hit by spears and hammers several times. Julu soldiers and civilians were shocked out of the city and were covered in cold sweat! The guards were even more puzzled. What is this?
What's the matter? These two Black Mountain bandit generals seem to be just the same. Why is the Lord Guild so embarrassed by him?
At the beginning, Han Qian and Wang Kai were very proud of themselves. They killed the enemy generals in formation. This achievement allowed them to show off their faces in front of the generals. However, after more than ten years together, they gradually realized that something was wrong. Regardless of Han Qian,
Wang Kai and Wang used their full strength to succeed every time, but Wen Yuan was always able to deflect the fatal blow at the critical moment!
In this way, you come and go for twenty or thirty times, Han Qian and Wang Kai are impatient, and the order is gradually scattered. Wen Yuan chuckles, glances at the gap, and stabs out a halberd lightly. He sees the green dragon halberd like a blue dragon exploring the water.
Han Qian, the thief general with a sledgehammer, was unable to dodge and was stabbed in the throat with a halberd!
With two plops, two iron sledgehammers crashed to the ground. Han Qian covered his throat with his hands and screamed loudly, but no more sound came out of his throat. Instead, blood flowed out like a fountain. In a few breaths, he
Han Qian was transformed into a bloody man!
Wang Kai seemed to have discovered something suddenly. He was so frightened that he still dared to fight. He turned around and walked away, but he didn't expect Wen Yuan to sit down and mount his horse quickly. He could catch up with Wang Kai, raised his halberd at Wang Kai's back, and then killed Wang Kai.
Get off your horse!
"Mighty! Mighty!" Thousands of soldiers and civilians above and below the city roared in unison, causing a commotion among the Black Mountain bandits!
Wen Yuan killed three generals in a row and rode his horse and halberd straight to the front of the bandit army. At this time, his eyes were wide open and he was exuding endless power. He pointed his halberd at the bandits and shouted loudly: "You guys, you dare to attack our county.
County, how about it, who else dares to come forward and fight me to the death?!"
