Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1344 Suzhou Thieves

The rain in Jinling City was still falling, and it was gradually getting heavier.

Around noon, news of Huainan King Li An's rebellion spread in Jinling City.

The people of Jinling City were shocked when they heard this.

"Why is it like this? It's almost Chinese New Year. How did this happen?"

"Hey, who's to say it's not? I don't know if this year will be a good one. Now that the city gates are closed, we can't even go out and buy something, right?"

"It's definitely not possible, I'm afraid the prices in Jinling City will rise again..."

In the case of rebellion, the common people don't care whether they are right or wrong, they only care about whether they can live a good life, whether prices will rise, and what will happen to their lives.

These are the things that the people care about in the first place.

Fighting is a matter for the court and the rebels.

And while the people were discussing like this, the [-] soldiers and horses stationed outside the city of Huainan King finally rushed over.

Their speed was a little slower than predicted, probably because of the rain.

After the soldiers and horses arrived, King Huainan's complexion suddenly became stronger.

He raised his head again to look at Qin Tian on the tower, and chuckled: "I have more than 2 troops, can't I take down your Jinling City?"

Qin Tian shrugged: "You can try it."

King Huainan snorted, then shouted: "Siege the city."

He is so angry now, he can't wait to kill Qin Tian.

And just after he gave an order, the rebels behind him rushed up frantically.

Qin Tian stood on the tower, only showing a slight smile, and then, the sharp arrows fired by the Divine Crossbow of the Tang Dynasty and Zhuge Liannu flew from the tower.

Although the number of the Mad Demon Army is not as large as that of King Huainan, whether it is the Tang God Crossbow or the Zhuge Liannu, the speed and the number of shots fired at one time are several times that of others.

In this case, when the soldiers and horses of the two sides are fighting, the Tang army is equivalent to more than 1 archers firing, and the Huainan King's archers are only a few thousand.

In this respect, Qin Tian's sharp arrow crushed King Huainan.

Therefore, the sharp arrows at the beginning suppressed several rounds of rebel attacks.

But when Qin Tian suppressed the rebels with sharp arrows, the heavy rain was getting heavier and heavier, and at the end of the year, the heavy rain was surprisingly cold, hitting people's faces, it was cold and painful.

When the rebels attacked the city, they couldn't even open their eyes.

In this way, it will be more difficult for them to attack.

The two sides fought like this, and the rebels became more and more unbearable.

Seeing this situation, King Huainan's eyes were full of strong resentment.

"My lord, today's weather is really bad. Siege is not good for us. If we continue to attack, our army will suffer even more casualties. Why don't we retreat first and wait for the rain to stop before attacking the city. "

After analyzing the situation, a counselor came to comfort King Huainan. However, King Huainan had a deep resentment towards Qin Tian, ​​and he did not give up attacking the city because of his counselor's words. He even glared at the counselor and cursed: "Siege the city for me. If anyone talks about retreating, this king will kill him."

The counselor touched his neck in fright, and quickly retreated, not daring to persuade him any more.

The two sides continued to fight like this, and the rebels did not have any advantage. One after another, the rebels were killed, and the Jinling city was soon filled with corpses.

The blood stained the city wall, and was quickly washed away by the rain.

Unknowingly, the sky darkened, but the rebels still failed to capture Jinling City, and their losses were getting bigger and bigger.

Standing on the tower, Qin Tian seemed to be in need of a beating.

"King Huainan, attack if you have the ability, come here if you have the ability..."

As Qin Tian said, he couldn't help laughing out loud again, the Prince of Huainan under the city was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Rush for me, rush for me..."

Seeing that King Huainan had no intention of retreating and continued to attack the city, Qin Tian was overjoyed. The reason why he said those words to anger King Huainan was because he wanted to take advantage of today's favorable time, place and people to severely weaken King Huainan. soldiers and horses.

Otherwise, when his other reinforcements arrive, the situation may not be good.

But judging from the current situation, King Huainan was obviously fooled, he was enraged, and wanted to fight Qin Tianyu to the death.

The heavy rain did not stop, and the rebels were a little downcast, not wanting to continue attacking the city.

If they attack, they will die, so what if they attack?

King Huainan was obviously aware of this decadent morale, and his heart sank suddenly, as if he had realized something at that moment.

If the attack continued like this, his strength would have to be weakened a lot.

After understanding, King Huainan didn't hesitate any longer, and quickly shouted: "Retreat, retreat..."

After the rebels heard this, they all showed some excitement, and then rushed back.

Seeing this situation, Qin Tian curled his lips. He beat the rebels hard enough today. With King Huainan's soldiers and horses now, he would definitely not be able to attack the city.

If he attacked the city again, he might have to wait for his reinforcements to arrive.

Here in Jinling City, it can be calm for a few days.
-
On the way from Chang'an to Jinling City, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu and the others knew that the situation in Jinling City was more urgent, so they didn't dare to delay at all.

However, no matter how fast a team of 3 marched, it would not be able to get there.

After walking like this for a long time, they came to the boundary of Suzhou.

The boundary of Suzhou is very close to Huainan. At noon that day, there was a heavy snowfall in Suzhou, and the roads were difficult. Although Cheng Chumo and the others were in a hurry, they had no choice but to find a place to set up camp and wait for the snow to stop.

Everyone paused, Cheng Chumo and others didn't really want to eat those things in the barracks, so after discussing with them, they arranged for soldiers and horses, and then they rode to the nearby villages.

In comparison, the food of some people in the village was better than what they ate during the march.

There is indeed a village nearby. From a distance, the village is completely white, and the occasional smoke from the kitchen makes the whole scene look like a painting.

"Let's go there and find some delicacies to eat. I heard that the people here can cook a kind of meat, which tastes delicious."

Cheng Chumo said, and couldn't help drooling. Qin Huaiyu, Yuchi Baolin and the others also moved their index fingers after hearing this, so without hesitation, after kicking the horse's belly, they rushed to the village in the wind and snow. go.

Not long after, they came to the front of that village, the village was not big, called Gejia Village, there was a plaque at the head of the village, but half of it was dilapidated, and it was full of snow at this time.

On the streets of the village, a few children were frolicking wildly in the snow despite the severe cold.

"Hey kid..."

Cheng Chumo yelled, wanting to inquire about the news, but after he yelled, those children started crying in fright.

"The thief is coming..."
