Chapter 52 Tangzhou Cavalry

Fan Buzhong held his beard and thought for a moment.

"Then it depends on how well Liu...the rebels are defending."

"Well defended, why would the Tangzhou cavalry be willing to dismount their elite troops to fight on foot? Moreover, the Ministry of War has ordered that they cannot stay here for a long time. Naturally, they will withdraw without being able to fight."

"If you don't seal the sword for three days, you can seize the gold and silver of Heishan County and let your children take it as you please. The governor has a good plan and makes empty promises. How much strength can the Tangzhou cavalry spare to attack the city?"

"If they withdraw, the soldiers in Fucheng will be left alone and unable to shout, so naturally they will have no choice but to retreat."

"But if the rebels don't defend well and are rushed down by the officers and soldiers, it will be dangerous."

"So," Fan Buzhong said decisively, "the next three days are crucial. The officers and soldiers will attack fiercely. After three days, their anger will be exhausted."

Lu Ye asked a few more questions carefully and found that the old boy talked about the situation eloquently. Although he was old, his mind was not confused at all and his thinking was clear.

And maybe because he has failed in many tests all the time, he is a troll, and he tells the court that everything is true.

He is very insightful on many issues, and he is really not an ordinary bookseller.

Lu Ye got the answer he wanted. Seeing that the scope of Fan Buzhong's criticism began to shift towards several examiners, he waved him to leave. It was already dark at this time, and Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi also left.

A servant brought food. Lu Ye was so hungry that he devoured it and fell asleep.

Today's various changes are not as severe as those of sleepyheads.

Whether you're fighting or fleeing, it's always a good idea to fill your stomach and wake up to recharge your batteries.

When he woke up again, it was already three o'clock in the morning outside the house. It was a good day.

What only made the scenery worse was the sound of fighting coming from the wind.

The entire Heishan County town seemed like a solitary reef in the waves, being beaten and shaken by sound waves from all directions. A battle was going on on the city wall outside.

Occasionally, there are rumbling sounds, and the earth trembles slightly.

Lu Ye hurried out of the house, only to see a small black dot arcing across the sky.

When the black spot got closer, I realized that it was actually a round stone.

The stones fell from the sky, with a small portion falling near the city wall, and some crossing the city wall, smashing the houses behind the wall into pieces.

Occasionally, stones fell on the city wall, accompanied by screams, and the soldiers guarding the city were smashed into pieces.

Fortunately, Tiegongfang is close to the city, still some distance from the city wall, and cannot be affected.

Lu Ye watched from a distance, and from time to time people were hit by stones on the city wall. When the stones stopped, a group of officers and soldiers rushed up along the long ladder.

Under the city wall, there was also a large group of refugee soldiers hiding in the cave where soldiers were hiding. The two sides surrounded sections of the city wall and fought fiercely.

"Brother, the officers and soldiers have used catapults..." Zhang Cunyi came over with a worried look on his face, "In addition, the eldest lady has sent a lot of livestock, horses, mules, weapons and armor."

Lu Ye nodded and scanned the courtyard.

I saw that yesterday's mourning hall had been demolished, and the old, weak, women, children and wounded people in Tiegongfang were coming in and out, all wearing short clothes and thin boots.

All of them were neatly dressed as they had fled. Some of them had bulging bags in their arms, but they placed all the ready-made dry food close to their bodies.

On the other side, Wang Hu was training a group of newly arrived slaves, acting as a whip-wielding instructor. Many of the slaves were whipped by him until they screamed, forming a chaotic formation.

If there is a battle in a few days, these servants will all be on the city wall.

In the stable, in addition to horses and mules, there were several vehicle frames parked. Someone was inspecting the axles and wheels and doing some repair work.

Zhang Cunyi leaned over and whispered.

"Brother, I sent my junior brother and a few servants to keep an eye on the four walls. If we can't defend them..."

Lu Ye nodded.

"When the time comes, go meet the young lady and go together."

If this city is breached, think about what the refugee army did in the first place. It's just the same script with role swapping.

He didn't want to be trapped in a dead city.

The refugee army also seizes servants to give people a way to survive. When officers and soldiers come in, they don't even need servants. The heads of homeless thieves are nothing to them, and the more the better.

That's the real no way out.

The two chose the highest roof in the courtyard and stood on it, looking around. However, they saw that the shouts of killing on the city wall were getting louder and louder. The refugee army and officers and soldiers changed one batch after another, but the top of the city still held on. The servants who inquired at this time reported back.

It is said that yesterday the Tangzhou cavalry killed tens of thousands of refugees outside the city wall in one day, killing them so hard that their swords were curled.

However, after Tangzhou's cavalry killed them, he was unable to fight anymore. The Dongsai Prefecture army who came from afar wanted stability and only established a stronghold. In addition, it was getting late and it was not suitable to fight anymore, so Heishan County actually spent the night peacefully.

And today, the news that Tangzhou cavalry entered the city and massacred all the men and women in the city has spread throughout the city.

Not to mention that the refugee army gave up, even the many remaining young people in the city gave up. They spontaneously organized to defend the city, and they were even more active than they were in dealing with the refugee army's siege.

The morale that had already hit the bottom suddenly surged to the top.

The refugee army was not welcome at all, but the officers and soldiers entering the city were even more frightening. The servants fought hard one by one without using swords or guns to intimidate them, and they fought extremely tenaciously.

Today, it was the Dongsai Mansion army that attacked the city. Although they deployed catapults, ladders and other equipment, they had no choice but to fight against the crazy servants.

The Tangzhou cavalry only set up large camps around the city gate and did not attack the city.

Lu Ye observed for a while and saw that the city was relatively stable. He thought that the Tangzhou cavalry suddenly appeared yesterday and used cruel methods to frighten the guards on the city wall. If they attacked the city at that time, maybe the people would disperse in droves. .

Today, the refugee army shares the same hatred with the enemy, and it will be difficult for the officers and soldiers to attack the city again.

He no longer paid attention to the battlefield situation, and asked Wang Hu and Zhang Cunyi about their injuries. Both of them said that they had recovered with the help of Xuelian Pills, and if they defended the city in a few days, they would be able to fight.

The few of them had a meal together, and Zhang Cunyi and Wang Hu went off to train and raise their children.

Lu Ye returned to the room and sat cross-legged.

Only then did we have time to review yesterday's battle situation.

He expected that Qin Tong would do something bad, but he didn't expect that the lunatic would intercept him halfway.

If it weren't for Zhang Cunyi's desperate shot, he would be a dead man at this moment.

In troubled times, the strong bully the weak and take lives at will, just based on their mood and not right or wrong.

Qin Tong died because he was not strong enough. If he was really a steel-framed martial artist, even if the three of them risked their lives, they would never be his match.

Then I thought about the unfathomable skills of breaking through the sky, the ruthlessness of the hero that was far beyond ordinary people, and the Tangzhou cavalry who were killing people outside the city.

Lu Ye felt deeply uneasy.

He wants to live, but there are always people who won't let him live well.

Lu Ye crossed his legs. Only by practicing and strengthening himself could he feel a little safer.

It is the stability that comes from practicing Krypton Life, and you can arrange your own lifespan.

What happened to spending some life? The strength gained in exchange belongs to oneself.

Xiaocheng's copper-skinned warrior is not safe yet, keep rising!

Lu Zhiyi moved in his mind, and a few lines of writing popped up on the fish and dragon diagram.
