"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 Yan 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, feeling overjoyed. Nearly two hours have passed since the war started. Although there are not many people injured here, many people are already 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 raised his head and looked at the sky, thinking that it must be Shen Shi now, and it must be less than an hour before dark. As long as it gets dark, the opponent will definitely retreat. It’s just that 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 reached, Luo Shang already knew that today's attack had failed. He once again underestimated the opponent's means and will to resist.
He had 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 defeat the opponent in one fell swoop, but he 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. When he debuted, 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 thought of his uncle Luo Xian again. After the empress of Shu Shang surrendered to Zhong Ai, Luo Xian, then the governor of Badong, guarded Yong'an. At a time when people were panicking, Soochow took the opportunity to capture cities and territories under the pretext of helping Shu merchants. Luo Xian, the commander-in-chief, with less than 8,000 people, defeated the 60,000 elite soldiers of Soochow. He was at his uncle's house at the time and personally experienced the six-month-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 Excellency," Jordan hurriedly returned from the front line: "The front is too chaotic. From the subordinates' point of view, it is difficult to perform successfully today. It is better to withdraw the troops in 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 passively beaten over there, with almost no power to fight back. Withdraw your troops, Your Majesty!"
"Well, if I had known this, I shouldn't have come out to lead the troops today." Luo Shang himself didn't know that he couldn't defeat the opponent today no matter what. He had been waiting for someone to come and admonish him so that he could have a step down.
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 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 the stunned and puzzled expressions of Jordan and Qin Si, Luo Shang shouted to Jordan again: "Jordan, beat the drums to cheer up, attack with the whole army, and capture the opponent's camp!"
"What?" On the other side of the camp, when they heard the latest order from Luo Shang delivered 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. .
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 Ru Ban received a "guest", Yan Shi, at their camp.
Although Yan Shi brought them a large amount of gold baht, they accepted it without shirk. Yan Shi didn't stay long, and didn't even mention their attack on the refugees. After chatting for a few words, he left. They were not asked to make any promises, which made Ruban and Jian Lan secretly relieved. But after collecting other people's belongings, they naturally slowed down their attack. Ruban, who was observing carefully, first discovered that 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." Ruban thought so early in the morning. In his opinion, even if he let himself go, the refugees would never win. By the time Shenshi 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. This is 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 the opponent 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 plan for the long term. As long as adequate preparations are made, these two trenches are nothing to fear in front of a hundred thousand troops. Once they are completely filled in, 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, and he had already 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 Lishui 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 Shuihui camp, which was unfavorable. Li Yang saw that the Luoshang army camp was not in order, so he led a thousand brave men to make a surprise attack that night. The Luoshang camp was collapsed, the dead were unaccounted for, and the Pishui River stopped flowing. 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.
Since 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 city gates of each county are tightly closed even during the day, and no unrelated persons are allowed to enter the city. Especially 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. Except for the people from all over the country who rushed to build forts for the local heroes, there were almost no people in the wild. Of course, it’s not like there’s no one there.
After the Luoshang army was defeated that day, the remaining 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 alone.
On this day, in the suburbs of Niuchang County, a girl riding a maroon horse appeared. I saw a strip of snow-white fox fur on her collar, and the eyelashes on her big eyes were long and curled, 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 accidentally overheard the conversation between his father and his brother a few days ago. Only then did he realize that his father had always been closely related to the refugees. Even the rumors about the refugees wanting to plant well fields were sent by his father. Released. And even before Luo Shang attacked the refugee camp, her father, who was sticking to Deyang Gucheng, secretly sent people 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 moving, Xin Wan saw an opportunity and ran out. She couldn't understand what her father and her brother were doing. She wanted to find her brother Deng, tell him these things, and 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 of course she got lost. She originally planned to go to CD, but she ended up in Niuchang, and she couldn't enter the county gate. She had been pampered since she was a child, and for the first time she knew what it meant 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, who was always quiet and kind-hearted, usually did not hunt prey. She usually watched her brothers happily hunting there. However, now that she was extremely hungry, 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 succession, but unfortunately, the hare's movements were 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 penetrated into the woods. Then, two men in tattered clothes walked out of the woods. One of them ran happily towards the place where the rabbit was rolling, while the other was holding a bow and arrow and looked at Xin Wan who was stopping his galloping horse.
If it had been before, Xin Wan would have turned around and left without saying a word. But now she has been hungry for almost a day, which makes it almost impossible for her to move. She wanted to speak, but her face turned red as she had never spoken like this before, 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, and couldn't help but whistled happily. He looked to be in his twenties, 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 a beauty like Xin Wan. The man couldn't help but feel lustful. Several of them were deserters after the defeat that day, and were heading towards their hometowns together. Not to mention today's dilemma, 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 vote, and no one will know. When the time comes, everyone will go their own way, how can this kind of thing happen? It 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. Come and have a meal together. Sixth brother, why don't you 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, and there were three people on the other side of the fire, holding sticks and sticks in their hands to barbecue. When they saw Xin Wan behind Brother Shen, the three of them were startled, and then they all laughed.
