These Xianbei soldiers were venting their anger. Fear, frustration, and hunger were intertwined. They had not slept all night. Their eyes were red and their moods were very irritable. It would be most unwise to attack and strangle them at this time, hitting their vent.
Therefore, Cang Ji ordered the soldiers behind to hide temporarily, waiting for them to vent their tiredness before taking action. He used binoculars to observe the activities in the village.
About half an hour later, these Xianbei talents were called out one by one to form a team and prepare to go to the next village. They were all dejected and had no fighting spirit.
At this time, Cang Ji ordered the soldiers to approach quietly, followed by a burst of crossbow shooting. The Xianbei people quickly drew their swords to resist, but many people fell down. Then Cang Ji gave the order, and everyone rushed with steel knives. Go up.
One thousand against one hundred, an overwhelming advantage, but the Xianbei people were not afraid. They seemed to be naturally warlike. When they saw a large number of Dayu soldiers, they waved their scimitars vigorously to challenge them, but what made them collapse was that their weapons When it collides with the opponent, it will be cut off. What kind of magic weapon is this!
The Xianbei soldiers almost collapsed, their swords were thrown out of order, and the whole army was soon annihilated.
Cang Ji continued to search the villages, but found nothing. Later, when he met the thousand soldiers left by Cang Dao, he realized that the last one hundred or so Xianbei people had been wiped out.
The two teams merged into one, and they returned to Yuyang County together.
In Yuyang City, Xia Minzheng, who received the news, knew that the Xianbei cavalry had not gone far, and made tighter arrangements for city defense. The people in the city were also prepared and listened to the government's arrangements. They also heard the sound of the bomb and knew that it was the magic weapon of the Kingdom of Yu. The city of Yuyang would not be destroyed and the people would not suffer.
Therefore, many brave people came to help spontaneously, some came to help with laundry and cooking, some came to collect firewood and move stones, and some came to help take care of the wounded.
Chu Jingru also came to the hospital to take care of the wounded. She was wearing an ordinary undershirt, no different from ordinary civilians. The once aloof prince and concubine now felt no sense of disobedience in her dress. She treated the soldiers guarding the city very gently and patiently.
At night, she was worried that the soldiers had fever, so she came to check with a candle. This scene was seen by Xia Qingfeng, who also came for ward rounds. This beautiful picture was so familiar. Yes, wasn't it the goddess Nightingale with the lantern that she had seen in a book? It's so similar.
A bold idea suddenly popped into her head: She must offer a nursing major in her medical school.
The next day, she found Chu Jingru and proposed her idea. Chu Jingru agreed very much and asked to be the first to sign up.
Li Nanxing and Li Peilan also supported her very much, and Chu Jingru seemed to have found the direction of her life. She is no longer a woman imprisoned in the backyard of a deep house, she can also do meaningful things.
In fact, she has always envied Xia Qingfeng. She is knowledgeable and capable, can do many things, is respected and loved by others, and is so confident and dazzling.
As for myself, apart from playing chess, calligraphy and painting, and being arty, I can't do anything else. Now that I have a goal in mind, I work more attentively and ask questions when I encounter something I don’t understand. Of course, the most active teacher here is Li Nanxing.
On the other side, Murong Tu and the remaining troops were stationed near the Yuyang City Gate, but after waiting for nearly a day, no one came out. Could it be that they would watch the people being killed and not rescue them?
But until it got dark, none of the more than a thousand people sent out came back. Now he was anxious. Did something happen to them all? Maybe, maybe they walked far away and couldn't make it back, so they should wait another day.
They waited for another whole day, during which several seriously injured people died silently. Murong Tu's heart was bleeding, but there was nothing he could do.
Unable to wait any longer, he asked his deputy Ke Zuhunduo to lead people there to search. However, after a long time, Ke Zuhunduo came back panting with his men.
It turned out that all the meticulous work that had been arranged before was gone. Not only had the guards at the barrier changed their posts, but the number of people had also increased a lot. They couldn't get through at all.
As soon as the guards saw them, they gave a signal and kept firing arrows at them. Several of their companions were also injured.
It seems something really happened. Murong Tu took the remaining two thousand people and rode to the foot of Yuyang City. After receiving the report, Cang Qiyuan and Xia Minzheng came to the tower.
When Murong Tu saw Cang Qiyuan looking at him condescendingly, he felt very angry, but there was nothing he could do. Who let him have a powerful ball in his hand! Not daring to make a mistake, he got angry and shouted loudly to the tower: "May I ask if my more than a thousand soldiers are still there?"
Cang Qiyuan looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Isn't it right behind you?" The voice from the loudspeaker sounded so lazy and relaxed.
"Don't act stupid there. More than a thousand people I sent out have not come back for two days." Murong Tu was once again shocked by his strong inner strength.
"Oh? Are you talking about those rats that stole food? Some of them were killed by us when they disobeyed, and some were imprisoned by us. But I don't have any extra food for them, and they are also hungry. It’s been two days.”
Murong Tu clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his forehead jumped: "How many people are you holding in your hands? How can you let them go?"
"There are not many people, just over five hundred."
"Let them go, you can make conditions." This time, Murong Tu lost more than a thousand people when he came out. This time, there were only more than 500 people sent out. In just a few days, the 5,000 people he took with him More than half of the people have been lost. He feels distressed! These are the elites he carefully selected, and his heart bleeds when he loses one of them.
Although he is the prince and his father loves him very much, after all, his father has many sons, and other sons are also eyeing the throne. It is just because his mother's family is strong and he has outstanding abilities, so there is no crisis for the time being. But now that he has suffered a defeat and lost so many warriors, it is inevitable that other princes will come to criticize him in front of their father. Therefore, he must rescue these five hundred people.
"Okay, then let's trade your cattle, sheep and war horses." Cang Qiyuan touched his chin and said while thinking: "Three war horses are exchanged for one person. If it's cows, eight cows are exchanged for one person." , fifteen sheep can be exchanged, what do you think?"
"You are asking for too much. We lost a lot of cattle, sheep and horses in this snowstorm." Murong Tu said through gritted teeth.
"What does that have to do with me? You guys brought them here yourself." Cang Qiyuan said nonchalantly, "I'm not in a hurry. Locking these people up just takes up some space and doesn't cost food."
"I promise, I promise, but you have to give them food, and you can't starve anyone to death." Murong Tu said anxiously.
"The food has to be considered separately. We have also experienced a snowstorm and are short of food! The price of food is not low now!"
"Then what do you want?" Murong Tu's face turned red with anger.
"Actually, I think you two can ride one horse when you go back. Why don't you exchange the remaining war horses for food? Think about it! You don't have any food on you now, and you have to kill the war horses in the end. That would be a pity. Why don't you exchange food and you can go back early?"
Xia Min was listening and laughing. This son-in-law is good and he will not suffer any disadvantages.
