After Yu Wenfeng led the people in, the prisoners all begged for mercy. Yu Wenfeng looked at them with disgust and suddenly lost interest, and then ordered Jia Zhi to interrogate them.
Before leaving, Yu Wenfeng said to Jia Zhi: "Interrogate them separately. If the final questions are different, kill them all."[]
After hearing Yu Wenfeng's words, the prisoners remained silent.
After saying that, Yu Wenfeng led the people away. Jia Zhi looked at the prisoners kneeling on the ground with a smile on his face. However, all the prisoners felt cold sweat flowing down their backs when they saw Jia Zhi's smile.
After what happened last night, Yu Wenfeng's team grew again and now has more than 2,000 people.
Today is a sunny day. After eating the dry food, except for the alert men and horses, the rest of the people were outside basking in the sun and whispering in twos and threes.
Yu Wenfeng also had a rare moment of leisure. He also went out, lying on the ground casually, basking in the sun, and then thinking about his next move.
In the afternoon, the reorganization work of the troops continued. Jia Zhi, Li Wen, He Song and others were already familiar with handling such matters. The 600 people rescued last night were quickly disrupted and divided into different teams.
There are now four hundred cavalry in this team. Although more horses have been obtained, some horses have seriously lost weight or been injured and can only be used to carry things or wounded people.
Yu Wenfeng knew that he could not abandon the wounded. If he did this, no one would dare to fight in the next battle, and the team would be dispersed.
These wounded people also understood their situation, so they were very diligent and did what they could, such as patrolling and keeping vigil at night.
The origin of this team of two thousand people can be said to be extremely complex. There are hungry wolves that Yu Wenfeng has trained since he was a child, some of his old troops who followed him at the beginning, and some of the broken troops who joined later. Some of these broken troops came from the border troops in Guzhou.
Some are from the Beijing Army, and some are from the Forbidden Army.
But now this team can be said to have good cohesion. Yu Wenfeng's violent methods at the beginning, coupled with the successive victories, made these people extremely convinced of Yu Wenfeng.
Now, in addition to being in awe of Yu Wenfeng, these people now have a lot more faith.
Yu Wenfeng saw that the two thousand people were in good spirits and smiled with satisfaction.
With the seizures from several battles and the dry food exchanged in the small town, more than 2,000 people can still last for about ten days.
Seeing that half of the two thousand people were still holding the most primitive ones in their hands, Yu Wenfeng's joyful mood sank.
...
In Hekou Town, a group of Huqi rushed in all the way and arrived at the royal residence, but found that the door was open, and it was extremely quiet inside. Seeing this, they seemed to have noticed something, and this group of Huqi also rode cautiously.
I entered the Wang Mansion, but after entering, I still didn’t find anyone.
The leading man ordered: "Look for them separately."
After receiving the order, the others began to disperse. After a while, everyone came back to report that no one had been found.
The leader of the barbarian group dismounted and couldn't help but notice the red color on the ground. After discovering something unusual, the leader was also about to order the interrogation of the people in the town.
The man waved and called a thin man at the end of the team over and asked him to lead someone to ask. A closer look revealed that this thin man was not a Hu but a Qin.
Soon, the thin man came back with the answer, and the leader nodded with satisfaction...
After they rode away, they saw the Hekou Town burning into the sky.
Outside Jinzhou City, in the barbarian camp.
A barbarian knelt on the ground, and then opened his mouth to report: "My eldest prince, there are three teams escorting the prisoners that have not returned yet, but according to the time, they should have arrived long ago."
The eldest prince nodded lightly, but his eyes never left the newly acquired riding crop.
At this time, another barbarian came in and reported: "Prince, all our people stationed in Hekou Town are dead."
Hearing this barbarian's report, the eldest prince was obviously angry. He swung his horsewhip and said, "How did our warrior die?"
The man who had just come in to report said again: "I interrogated the people in the town, and they were talking about a group of Qin troops of about a thousand people."
After hearing this, the eldest prince came over with another whip and said: "What other Qin troops are there? These Qin troops must have fallen from the sky."
After speaking, the eldest prince had obviously calmed down, and then said to the first person: "What did you just say?"
The man answered tremblingly: "Three teams escorting the Hulu have not returned yet, but according to the time, they should have arrived long ago."
The eldest prince seemed to have thought of something, but at this moment someone said outside the tent: "Great prince, the envoy of the Great Khan is here again."
The eldest prince sighed, and then said: "Please come in."
After saying this, the eldest prince seemed to have exhausted all his strength and slumped down on the table, then murmured: "Can't you still change Father Khan's attention?"
Soon, a strong man walked in and said, "Prince, the Great Khan asked me to bring a message."
When the eldest prince saw that the person coming was the head of the bodyguard around his father Khan, he did not dare to show that he was listening carefully.
The strong man continued: "The Great Khan said 'take the Golden State'."
After hearing the words of the strong man, the eldest prince could not help but wanted to say something even though he was already prepared. However, he quickly adjusted his mentality and said: "Tell Father Khan for me that I will get it as soon as possible."
Go to Jinzhou."
After listening to the eldest prince's answer, the strong man nodded with satisfaction, and then left the tent. Without having time to take a breath, he led the people back to the father he said was his father.
The next day, the horn sounded again in Jinzhou City. The defenders in the city had become numb these days.
Hearing the sound of the horn, Yu Wenji did not dare to be careless, but still quickly led the people to the city wall.
Everyone has already entered the fighting position. This time the siege was the same as before. The Qin people rushed over shouting slogans.
Everyone was numb, and the archers kept pouring arrows down. As for the other people on the city wall, they all looked lively. According to the way they were yesterday, these damn traitors would retreat without even being able to attack the city wall.
, even Yu Wenji thinks so.
Upon seeing this, Yu Wenji led the people down the city wall.
But the situation did not happen as expected. The Qin people who attacked the city today were extremely ferocious. Some people kept falling, but more people continued to charge forward.
By the time the defenders on the city wall discovered it, someone had already rushed to the bottom of the city wall.
There were siege ladders constantly being set up on the city wall. At this time, the defender of the city wall finally understood the carelessness and quickly called for Yu Wenji, who had not gone far, and then continued to issue orders.
People kept climbing up from the siege ladder under the city wall. After the defenders of the city wall reacted, some people immediately began to drop their weapons and start running away, but even more people began to fight back.
Siege ladders were pushed up one after another, and spears were thrust into the climbing enemies one after another.
The person who ordered the report on the city wall ran all the way and finally caught up with Yu Wenji, and then reported: "Commander, the situation on the city wall has changed."
After Yu Wenji heard this, his expression changed drastically. He immediately sent people to mobilize others to go up the city wall, and then led them back to the city wall quickly.
By the time Yu Wenji arrived at the city wall, the siege had already reached a fever pitch.
An enemy finally climbed up the city wall along the siege ladder, but before he could wave the scimitar in his hand, he was cut into pieces. But more people climbed up.
Finally someone discovered that there were not only Qin people attacking the city, but also Hu people.
Someone shouted: "It's a barbarian, it's a barbarian."
After taking a closer look, it turned out that most of the Qin people who attacked the city were different, but by this time it was too late.
Five gaps have been opened, and the defenders on the city wall are working hard to surround and annihilate the enemies who have come up. However, the barbarians who rushed up were too fierce, and the defenders could not drive them off the city wall for a while.
Seeing this, Yu Wenji ordered his personal guards to join the battlefield.
With the effective force of Yu Wenji's personal guards joining the battlefield, two gaps were quickly filled, but the remaining three gaps were still under the tenacious protection of the Hu people, and more Hu people continued to come up.
Yu Wenji didn't care about anything else at this time. He took out the weapon from his waist and filled in with the last few personal guards.
A barbarian man was waving the scimitar in his hand desperately. Just after cutting off the arm of a Qin army, he suddenly felt a strong force coming from the scimitar in his hand. For a moment, he felt that he could not hold the scimitar in his hand.
Before the person could be seen clearly, the head of this barbarian had been chopped off.
Yu Wenji also took advantage of it. The barbarian had been fighting for a long time, otherwise he wouldn't have been beheaded so quickly.
Encouraged by Yu Wenji's bravery, another gap was quickly filled, but more barbarians had already poured into the remaining two gaps.
At this critical moment, the reinforcements finally arrived at the city wall. With the support of the reinforcements, the space for activities of the barbarians who came up became smaller and smaller, and then they were finally squeezed down.
Upon seeing this, Yu Wenji immediately broke away from the chaos, and then began to command the defenders on the city wall to continue to defend the city.
At this time, a man staggered to Yu Wenji's side, and then said: "Commander, I am late in rescuing you. Please atone for your sins."
Yu Wenji didn't have time to care about so much now, so he replied: "It doesn't matter, it's none of your business." After that, he continued to pay attention to the battlefield.
Outside Jinzhou City, the eldest prince saw the fallen warriors one after another. His heart was bleeding, but there was nothing he could do.
The eldest prince looked expressionless and ordered: "Come out."
Upon hearing his words, someone immediately waved the flag, and soon a barbarian phalanx entered the battlefield again.
This barbarian phalanx is different from other barbarian cavalry. They are wearing armor and holding large shields in their hands, and they quickly approach the city wall.
The defenders on the city wall also noticed this scene and immediately ordered the archers to release arrows. They only heard the sound of "ding-ding-dong-dong" and the arrows kept bouncing off the shield.
Only occasionally were unlucky enough to be hit by an arrow that passed through the large shield.
When they got close, as soon as the big shield dispersed, many barbarian archers came out immediately. Since they were shooting on their backs, they could only go close.
A hail of arrows fell on the city wall, and screams continued to be heard. At this time, officers were everywhere shouting: "Shield up, shield up, shield up."
Taking advantage of this time, some barbarians had already carried the siege ladder to the bottom of the city wall. The defenders who passed by the city wall had made preparations before, but this time the barbarians did not climb the city wall as smoothly as last time.
Barbarians kept falling down from the siege ladder, but this only angered the barbarians who were attacking the city. Some of them had already taken off their armor and went into battle lightly.
Soon another Hu phalanx marched up, but the reinforcements in the city were already scaling the city wall in batches.
Seeing this, the eldest prince said calmly: "Withdraw, if we continue like this, we will be wasting the lives of the warriors."
Soon, a desolate horn sound sounded. After hearing the horn sound, the barbarians who were attacking the city kept retreating...
After seeing the barbarians retreating, the defenders on the city wall finally began to cheer.
After Yu Wenji saw the Hu people retreating, his heart dropped.
The city was almost captured by the barbarians today. This was actually due to many reasons.
It has been half a month since the Hu people attacked the city, but there is a fixed pattern every day. The Qin people attack for a while and then retreat, which makes many people feel paralyzed. Yu Wenji was very careful at the beginning.
If there is any movement, the troops will enter a state of emergency and all kinds of defense equipment will be ready, such as boiling hot oil and so on.
But after ten days, Yu Wenji could no longer suppress him, so he had to leave some people on the city wall while the others rested.
Many of the officers in the Beijing Army were descendants of aristocratic families, and some of them were accompanying the army on the expedition this time. When nothing happened, these people could not see anything, but when faced with a situation like today, many people began to run away.
On the city wall, it was only when many officers fled that the barbarians opened a gap.
After the Hu people retreated, a smell of war spread outside Jinzhou City. Some people were carrying corpses, some were helping the wounded to rest, and some were cleaning the battlefield.
All the escaping officers were arrested, but Yu Wenji did not dare to kill them, as this would offend too many people, so he ordered someone to lock them up.
From this point we can see that Yu Wenji lacks courage.
Soon, the troops on the city wall had changed their defenses, and Yu Wenji was also very tired. He returned to his residence, had a quick dinner, and went to bed.
Outside Jinzhou City, in the barbarian camp, after someone reported the casualties of the troops, the eldest prince kicked everyone out and stayed alone in the tent.dd
