After the Qingfeng Village's army entered the city, they massacred these barbarians like tigers entering a flock of sheep.
Each of these barbarians had crude weapons, some with knives, some with wooden sticks and bows and arrows. They didn't even have any decent leather armor on their bodies. They relied entirely on their bravery to fight. However, when they encountered the well-equipped elites of Qingfeng Village, After a large army, they were still vulnerable. In addition, the number of people was small, and it was dark at this time. Their fighting spirit was not strong, and they were quickly defeated.
Most of the three thousand barbarians were killed, and a small number fled towards the north of the city.
The headmaster, Nie Chen and others pursued him all the way out of the North City Gate before giving up.
Nie Chen said,
"Stop chasing. To the north is the grassland. I don't know how many barbarians there are. Now go back and defend the city. After the barbarians react, it's time to attack the city."
The generals led their troops back to the city. Under the arrangement of the leader, the soldiers climbed up the city wall one after another, took turns to rest, and moved all the war supplies and other items in the city onto the city wall in preparation for resisting the barbarian attack.
That night, the people in the city were not peaceful.
During the day, the barbarians suddenly broke into the city and plundered the property of the people in the city. Those who dared to resist raised their hands with a knife, killing many people in one afternoon. Fortunately, most of the people were smarter, and some Hiding in the cellar, some of them honestly handed over their belongings to save their lives.
All the property looted by the barbarians were concentrated in the county government office. When Nie Chen and others arrived, they saw piles of money, supplies and other items, and there were hundreds of women inside, trembling together.
Obviously, these were collected by the barbarians and prepared to be taken back to the grassland.
The productivity of the barbarians was so low that they could not even make pots and pans, and almost all their expenses depended on robbing, including the women they took back to prepare for the birth of children.
Unfortunately, the army from Qingfeng Village arrived too quickly, and they were driven out before they could take away the supplies.
Nie Chen said to these women,
"Don't be afraid, everyone. We are all rebels in Qingfeng Village. Now that the barbarians have been driven away, you should go home quickly. Don't forget to notify the villagers and ask them to come and claim these things. The barbarians took them from you. We will drive away the barbarians and return them all to you."
As soon as these women heard that the other party was from Qingfeng Village, they immediately felt relieved and left one by one with a lot of gratitude.
I am not even afraid of walking home at night.
Because the reputation of Qingfeng Village is really good. It kills corrupt officials, saves the people, pacifies bandits, upholds justice for heaven, robs the rich and helps the poor.
In Qingshui County, no matter who talks about Qingfeng Village, they all give a thumbs up.
Soon, the news that Qingfeng Village had retaken the county seat spread throughout the city, and countless people flocked to the county government office, clamoring to see the two leaders.
At this time, the headmaster Nie Chen and others had just cleaned up the county government office and were preparing to settle here first. When they heard the noise of the people at the door, they rushed out immediately.
When the people at the door saw them coming out, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed,
"Thank you to the rebel brothers of Qingfeng Village for driving away the barbarians. Little old man, I have been frightened for a whole day, for fear of being hacked to death by the barbarians. You saved the lives of all the people in our city."
"The two masters are really gods descending from the earth. We originally thought that there was no way to escape this time, but we didn't expect that the two masters' magic soldiers descended from the sky and saved me. It would be like fire and water."
"Yes, I almost never saw my mother-in-law again. Fortunately, the heroes came quickly and rescued my mother-in-law from the barbarians. I kowtow to you, villain!"
"That stupid county magistrate. As soon as the barbarians attacked the city, he led a group of soldiers to abandon the city and ran away. We and the remaining soldiers were left behind to be hacked by the barbarians. This man who killed a thousand swords is worthy of being a county magistrate." !”
"Please invite these two leaders to be our county magistrates. You are our Qingtian lords."
Looking at the grateful people below, the leader patted Nie Chen on the shoulder and said,
"Do you still think it was wrong for us to rescue them?"
Nie Chen smiled sadly. Indeed, if they didn't come, the whole city would have been poisoned by the barbarians. I don't know how many men were killed, women were arrested, and property was robbed.
Looking at the people below, Nie Chen seemed to suddenly understand that with great power comes great responsibility.
If he has the ability to help these simple people, he should come to help, instead of thinking about profit and loss first in everything.
How can you know that it is a blessing in disguise?
Now that they have joined the war, although they have lost soldiers and horses, they have won the hearts and minds of the people and can recruit more soldiers in the future.
"Everyone, get up, get up. The barbarians have all been driven away. All the supplies they looted are piled up here in the county government office. We haven't touched a penny. Everyone, come and claim them. Everyone's belongings will be taken back. .
Rest quickly after you go back. Maybe the barbarians will come back to take revenge tomorrow. Our soldiers will still have to defend the city by then, so don't disturb their rest too much. "
"Master Nie, before, Magistrate Dog ran very fast and didn't organize us at all. We are not afraid of the barbarians. Tomorrow the barbarians will dare to come if they want what they want. We big guys will defend the city together with the rebel brothers and hack to death those barbarians."
"Yes, chop those stupid barbarians to death, we are not afraid of them!"
The people were filled with indignation and expressed their willingness to join the war together.
Nie Chen said a few more words to them and asked them to claim the supplies.
Soon, all the things that the barbarians had looted were emptied out, and only a few concubines and maids of the new county magistrate were left in the entire county government office.
As for the government officials, officials and other men, I think they either ran back home or were killed by the barbarians.
Nie Chen made a place for Li Yuanjun and others to treat the injured soldiers.
…
Outside the city, at the foot of a hillside, a group of barbarians stopped panting.
"Second leader, where did this Fengjun come from? We just captured the county today, why did they arrive at night? Why are they so fast?"
The leader of a small tribe sat on the ground and asked Qi Yansong breathlessly.
Qi Yansong was the one who led the troops to attack Qingshui County this time. They brought more than 10,000 people and captured Qingshui County easily.
After taking the county seat, Qi Yansong directly sent a large team of troops out to search for the people while asking around for the whereabouts of Wu Yanzu.
In his opinion, it would take at least three days for the county army to come to support him. He had plenty of time to search for supplies and find Wu Yanzu.
Therefore, he did not leave too many people in the county and sent most of his troops out.
Unexpectedly, no one in the city had heard of Haohanjiu, and Wu Yanzu hadn't even found it yet. Before he could enjoy the woman he had captured, he was already ridden in the face by the unexpected Fengjun.
