Wang Liang was stunned for a moment.
Some don't understand what the other person's words mean.
However, Wang Hu quickly gave the answer. He said: "The purpose of taking you out of the city is to prevent you from being trapped in Daizhou City by the bandit army. Only outside the city, once we find that Daizhou City is not supported, we outside the city can Retreat your troops first and conserve your strength."
"The general is brilliant." Wang Liang gave a thumbs up with admiration.
I thought that my general was either a thief, or he was defending Daizhou City with the soldiers and horses in the city, but he didn't expect that he came to Qianhusuo in order to abandon the city and escape.
He doesn't think there's anything wrong with doing this unless a person is punished by heaven and earth for his own sake.
"Remember to tell all the soldiers and servants of our Wang family that they should use more refined fodder for the horses in the past few days and prepare dry food in advance to protect our Wang family as they retreat to Guo County at any time." Wang Hu explained.
The bandit army will get his attitude before noon tomorrow, so he knows very well that the bandit army will arrive at Daizhou City from Yanmen Pass in the middle of the day.
Wang Liang nodded vigorously and said: "General, don't worry, I will explain it myself. No one will dare to be lazy."
It was a matter of life and death, and he didn't dare not take it seriously.
"Okay, go and do your work! Remember not to leak this matter for now." Wang Hu warned.
Wang Liangming nodded and immediately asked: "What should we do with the ordinary soldiers who came here with us? It may not be easy for us to take away so many people from under the noses of the rebels."
In addition to Wang Hu's personal soldiers and servants, Qianhusuo also has thousands of ordinary guards and soldiers here.
"You don't need to worry about their life or death. You just need to ensure that when you leave, it is enough that our Wang family's personal soldiers will be taken away with you." Wang Hu did not take the ordinary guardsmen who followed him seriously at all.
In his opinion, the Wang family's personal soldiers and servants are the foundation, and those ordinary soldiers and horses can be recruited as many as they want in the future.
Wang Liang retreated from Wang Hu's room.
The bandit army occupied Yanmen Pass, and the city of Daizhou was already in turmoil.
The city gates were only open for one hour a day, and were closed the rest of the time. People outside the city who wanted to enter the city not only had to pay a high entry fee, but also were searched by the soldiers guarding the city.
The people outside the city who wanted to take refuge in the city complained endlessly.
But there is no way. If you want to survive, you can only escape into the city before the bandits arrive, so no matter how high the cost of entering the city is, you can only bite the bullet and pay it.
In the past two days, the soldiers guarding the city were happy.
Even if the city gates are only opened for an hour every day, the fees charged for entering the city are higher than those in the past few months combined. The wealth plundered from the people for various reasons has made them rich. From time to time, he could even take advantage of the female relatives who came to the city.
If the old man in the government office hadn't allowed the city gate to be opened for too long, they would have kept the city gate open all day long.
The one-hour opening time left many people with no time to enter the city and unable to go home, so they had to stay outside the city and set up temporary shelters for the night.
The weather was cold, and the simple shed didn't work at all. The family could only lean together to keep each other warm, enduring the cold night and waiting for the city gate to open the next day.
Every day when the city gate opens, countless people want to enter the city. However, the number of people waiting to enter the city outside the city gate does not decrease at all. Instead, more and more people come from further away and gather here. In front of the city gate.
"Thieves, thieves are coming." On the top of Daizhou City, a soldier guarding the lookout noticed smoke and dust rising from the direction of Yanmen Pass, and a large group of cavalry was coming towards Daizhou City.
"Close the city gate quickly, close the city gate quickly." The leader of the soldiers guarding the city gate shouted to his men to close the city gate.
Although the people who were guarding outside the city gate had not yet noticed the thief cavalry coming from a distance, they could see the soldiers guarding the city gate, but the shouts of thief soldiers from time to time on the top of the city immediately guessed that the bandits were coming. .
Countless people swarmed towards the city gate, causing the soldiers who wanted to close the city gate to use all their strength, but could not close the city gate. Instead, people from outside the city squeezed in through the crack in the door.
More and more people crowded into the city, and the gaps between the city gates became wider and wider.
Several soldiers tried their best, but could not get the city gate to close even a little.
"Stab them with spears and drive all the people away." Seeing that the city gate could not be closed, the leader of the soldiers ordered the soldiers to kill the people.
Several soldiers holding long spears began to stab the civilians who were squeezing the city gate with their spear heads.
The people were crowded in front of the city gate, and a shot sprayed with blood.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Spears kept stabbing the people, and the number of injured and dead people continued to increase. Cries, curses, and pleas kept coming from outside the city gate.
The soldiers holding spears did not pause at all, and the spears in their hands were still aimed at the people who wanted to rush into the city gate.
Soon, the people in front of the city gate began to flee for their lives, and fewer and fewer people squeezed the city gate.
The few soldiers who closed the city gate no longer had as much pressure as before, and the city gate was quickly closed, leaving only countless people outside the city crying.
A group of cavalry from the Tiger Character Banner arrived at the gate of Daizhou City.
The leading cavalry captain frowned when he saw countless ordinary people crowding against the city wall outside the city.
"Captain, there are too many people outside the city. Do you want to drive them away?" a cavalryman next to him asked.
The cavalry captain raised the monocular in his hand and glanced at the defenders on the city wall.
Just the number of armor-clad thieves I saw was already greater than Zhenwuwei's armor-clad soldiers.
"Have you noticed that most of these thieves use firecrackers? Just like the rumors, they are not afraid of injuring themselves." Someone in Wang Liang's group said in surprise.
The quality of the firecrackers in the Ming army was really worrying. Many Ming army soldiers would rather use broadswords and spears than firecrackers, a weapon that could kill one thousand enemies but only damage eight hundred.
"Shut up, don't embarrass yourself here." Wang Liang was a little irritated and couldn't help scolding him.
Naturally, the others did not dare to say anything more, but they still looked around with curious eyes.
After some information, the chief brought the person to a large tent.
"You have fulfilled your mission and brought Wang Qianshi's envoy." When the chief saw Wang Yuncheng in the tent, he immediately knelt down.
Wang Liang, who entered the big tent together, did not kneel down with him, but looked at a man behind the square table.
He had never seen the people in the tent, but he could feel that the man sitting behind the square table was probably the commander of the bandits who attacked Yanmen Pass.
"Wang Hu, General Wang's general, has met the general." Wang Hu took the lead in greeting the man behind the square table.
Wang Yuncheng, who was sitting behind the table, felt happy when he saw that the other party had really persuaded the Wang family of Zhenwuwei. He immediately smiled and said: "Since General Wang intends to surrender, I welcome him very much. Come and pour some wine for Brother Wang Hu." A glass of water to warm you up.”
