When Murong's first fort was defeated, Wang Jing sent people to notify Shen Yi and Jiang Zhixiong, and asked Shen Yi to be responsible for relocating the population and baggage.
After half a day's work, Shen Yi successfully transferred more than 2,000 people and some food and baggage.
When Wang Jing led a team of nearly 4,000 people and continued to travel southward at night, Shen Yi sent people to report and asked Jiang Zhixiong to come by boat for support.
Mai Tiezhang was beside Wang Jing, and he also heard the report of the visitor.
When he heard the news that the ship was ready, he was obviously relieved.
Wang Jing's strength really shocked his heart and made him feel ashamed. But no matter how powerful Wang Jing is, he is only a human being, a mortal body.
There was no way they could compete with Murong's hundreds of cavalry.
The only thing they could do was to cross the river and go south as soon as possible before Murong's men discovered the situation in the camp.
Only the natural barrier of the river can stop the cavalry that breaks through thousands of armies.
as time flows.
Going there, I could faintly hear the rushing sound of the river.
More than three thousand people walked all night, carrying a lot of supplies and food on their backs. Some old people even fell to the ground due to exhaustion on the road and lost their breath.
Rao is so.
The people still did not stop.
They have suffered a lot under Murong's hands these days. It cannot even be described as suffering, it should be said to be hell!
They were used as human shields to attack city walls, and as cannon fodder for infantry. The wild fruits they worked so hard to pick every day were looted and turned in, while they themselves were extremely hungry and thirsty.
Some people even starved to death.
In the past few days, they followed the partial division to farm near Tunpu. They worked so hard every day that their physical strength and energy were almost exhausted, so they exchanged it for a small grain bag.
A small grain steamed bun was their daily ration, and it was often snatched away.
Bullying and hunger!
Leaving them all in despair.
Although they didn't know Wang Jing's origin, they were willing to obey Wang Jing's orders as long as they could get rid of the Murong family's brutal rule.
The more than 300 infantrymen who were forcibly collected may still be unwilling to accept it.
But among these three thousand refugees, as long as Wang Jing can give them a glimmer of hope to survive, they will definitely become his die-hard loyalists.
The night will be bright.
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning fell, more than 3,000 people finally saw the river in front of them and a dozen ships staying on the river!
Thousands of people suddenly cheered. The sound soared into the sky.
Mai Tiezhang looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes flashing.
At this time, Shen Yi and Jiang Zhixiong came quickly to greet them.
"Congratulations, lord, on your great victory!"
When Chen Yi saw thousands of people and nearly a hundred war horses on the shore, a sincere smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. Shen came just in time!"
Wang Jing also laughed loudly. Seeing the tired look in Shen Yi's eyes, it was obvious that he had stayed up all night, so he couldn't help but patted his shoulder.
"These people need to be sent to the other side as soon as possible!"
"The war horses are placed in the second batch, and the other food, grass and baggage are placed in the last batch..."
When Shen Yi and Zhu Wu heard this, they all nodded in agreement.
A force must put people first, especially since the number of people under Wang Jing's command is less than 10,000. We must pay more attention to every citizen.
Rice can be harvested quickly, but people cannot grow as fast.
One death is one less.
Mai Tiezhang stood not far away and did not interrupt their conversation. His two hundred men were still following him.
They are clearly distinct from Wang Jing's men.
Shen Yi also knew his identity at this time, but he didn't attach much importance to it. For him, the most important thing at this time was to quickly move the people and war horses.
…
Black smoke rose from the burned fort, attracting the attention of a dozen cavalrymen who patrolled nearby.
"No! Something happened in Tunpu!"
After they discovered the situation, they rushed to Tunpu.
Suddenly, I saw that the walls of the camp had been burned and half destroyed, and there were many corpses inside the camp. Murong's more than sixty cavalrymen, as well as the school captain Liban, were among them.
A dozen cavalrymen looked at each other and noticed the anger in each other's eyes.
"You go report it to the general, and the others will follow me to catch up!"
The leader of the Hu cavalry discovered traces of the large group of troops moving south and immediately gave the order.
The others immediately whistled, and except for two people who went to the main camp of the Murong clan to report, the others all rode towards the south to catch up.
When they followed the traces, they saw many soldiers still carrying supplies by the river.
More than three thousand people have arrived at the south bank.
Most of the grain and grass supplies were also transferred. Only Wang Jing, Mai Tiezhang and others were left on the north bank.
"Murong's cavalry finally arrived...but they arrived too late!"
Wang Jing smiled.
Seeing hundreds of soldiers garrisoned by the river, a dozen Murong cavalrymen did not dare to charge directly. They rode their horses in a few circles in the distance and then immediately retreated.
Inside the army camp outside the Tucheng by the river.
Murong Yun, the leader of the Murong clan's troops, opened his eyes wide and listened with some disbelief to the report of the people below.
"What did you say? The camp where Li was stationed was destroyed? How is this possible?"
At this time, besides Murong Yun, there were two generals of the Murong clan in the camp.
Like Murong Yun, the two of them couldn't believe it.
But they also know that nothing is trivial in the military.
If the cavalryman who came to report dared to talk nonsense, even if he was a member of the Murong clan, he would be killed as a warning to others.
Therefore, the other party’s report is not a lie, it is true!
Murong Yun's face was green and white. When the cavalry below finished explaining everything, he couldn't bear it anymore and stood up suddenly.
"Who is so bold? He actually killed my general! And Li Ban, they are just trash!"
"Zhang Tai, Tao Ren, quickly mobilize your elite troops. When you find the enemy's traces, send troops immediately! I will chop him into pieces and feed him to the dogs!"
he shouted angrily.
"As you command!"
The two generals in the camp were also angry that their partial army was destroyed, and they loudly accepted the order without thinking.
time.
Murong's camp began to make big moves, war horses were pulled out one after another, and hundreds of Murong's cavalry were ready to attack at any time.
Their actions attracted the attention of the beggar army on the city wall.
Someone immediately reported the enemy's movements, and soon Ran Liang led a few people to the city wall.
They looked far into the distance and were a little confused after discovering that Murong had gathered cavalry.
These days, both sides have been attacking and defending, which has consumed a lot of troops.
But most of Murong's elite did not participate in the siege. Could it be that the other side is determined to attack with elite troops?
"If that's the case, then it'll be a disaster!"
Ran Liang held on to the wall, frowned, and murmured.
He looked a little haggard at this time, and most of the city was stained red with blood. There were far fewer captains and captains around him than before.
In addition to the 500 soldiers who moved to the south bank, more than 1,000 troops of the Beggar Army are in the city.
After these days of depletion, there are only more than 800 people left in the beggar army, and many of them are injured, and their strength has dropped significantly.
