Good farming at the foot of Changbai Mountain

Chapter 288 Destroying the Enemy
On the morning of the fourth day, Bart sent people out to look for food again.This time, he didn't dare to let so many people go out again, and sent 2000 people, "Be careful, don't fall into an ambush, no matter if you find it or not, make sure you come back safely."

Seeing the 2000 people go away, Bart felt a little nervous, "Just don't encounter an ambush again."

However, these people went out and didn't come back until the afternoon, so Bart was a little worried. "Come here, send someone out to inquire about it. Could it be that something happened again?"

So someone went to check, and after an hour, the spies came back and reported that the people who went out to look for food had returned, and they finally found some, and they were on their way back.

After another half an hour, the people who went out to look for food returned, and the leader replied to Bart, "General, we have traveled a long way, and finally found some food. This Daqi man is too cunning. Some of the villages were all evacuated. At any rate, we came across a village that still had some grain left, so we brought it all back. But it was only enough for us to eat. However, we still got it A few pigs and a dozen sheep have come back, so we can have a good meal tonight.

Bart nodded, "Okay, just now the Marshal sent someone to say that the army is still [-] miles away from Zhenyuan Pass, and they will almost reach Xizhou tomorrow night, so we don't have to worry about running out of food."

Everyone was very happy when they heard the news.

"Okay, let people cook quickly, kill all those pigs and sheep, and let's have a good meal." Bart hurriedly ordered.

People outside have been waiting for this sentence for a long time. Once they heard the general speak, why not rush?So I went outside to kill pigs and sheep, cook fire and cook, and I was very busy.Not long after, smoke rose from the kitchen, and the smell of meat and rice wafted over the entire camp.These people didn't eat enough in the morning, didn't eat at noon, and at night, they were all hungry. How could they bear the smell?Everyone is holding a bowl and waiting there.

Not long after, all the food was cooked, and someone shouted, "It's time to serve."

All the soldiers rushed to the Huotou army to which they belonged in their camp, looking at the steaming food, they couldn't help swallowing.

However, at this moment, the ground shook slightly, and there was a sound of shouting and killing.In the barracks, the horn sounded. "Enemy attack, Daqi's soldiers are coming." Someone shouted.

Beiyuan's army was in chaos, everyone was thinking about food, and no one thought that the enemy would attack at this time.They didn't bring weapons or anything with them, so they threw down their bowls and turned to get weapons.

However, Da Qi's army came very quickly, five thousand cavalry, as fast as lightning, had already rushed to the front in a short time.The infantry at the back were also full of energy, and followed after a while.

This time, the elites in the city were selected again at such a good time.The Beiyuan soldiers on the opposite side had their heads chopped off with a big knife before they realized what was going on.

Zixuan stood on the city wall, watching the battle below.It was already very dusk at this moment, and it was dark everywhere, but the situation in the distance could be seen vaguely. "These soldiers from the Beiyuan Kingdom may not be that powerful? Compared to our Daqi's strict military discipline, these people are simply mobs." Zixuan said disdainfully.

"The key is that your lord's strategy is so easy to use. These people have calculated thousands of times, and they never calculated that we would choose such a time to send troops." Sun Zhoujuan beside him laughed. "Our people have already quietly left the city through the east and west gates, and ambushed nearby, waiting for this opportunity. My lord has a clever plan, and my subordinates really admire it."

Zixuan waved his hand, "I'm just playing tricks and plotting. Commanding the battlefield is not something that literati like me can do. Besides, the enemy's general looks like a fierce general at first glance, but he is not a leader." The commander-in-chief of the soldiers will be easily calculated by me."

But Sun Zhoujuan thought in his heart, if this literati played tricks, they would really be ignorant of these rough men who only know how to fight.Don't look at Mr. Zhizhou who acts frankly and politely on weekdays, but if he plays tricks, he is still quite ruthless.Those grains were clearly left on purpose in order to relax the vigilance of the enemy.

After more than half an hour, the battle was coming to an end.The soldiers of the Northern Yuan Kingdom had been hungry for two meals, and their hands and feet were already weak.In addition, they had no defense at all, and some of them didn't carry weapons at all, so they were no match for Da Qi's soldiers if they did their calculations intentionally or unintentionally.

On the battlefield, there are still some Beiyuan generals who are still desperately resisting.General Bart is worthy of being a brave general, and even under such circumstances, he still fought hard against all the generals.

Ziwen and Wenxuan, one holding a bright silver gun, and the other holding a Fangtian painted halberd, together with General Li and General An, surrounded Bart in the middle.

Ziwen shook the bright silver gun in his hand, taking advantage of the gap between Bart's broadsword and General Li's knife, he stabbed Bart's waist at once.This was quite ruthless, Bart yelled, and swung his knife towards Ziwen.However, Wenxuan behind him swung Fang Tian's painting halberd and came to Bart's back.

With Bart alone, two fists are no match for four hands, let alone eight hands.Not long after, his body was covered in cuts and bruises, with blood profusely pouring out.In addition, after being hungry for a day, the body can't support it, and gradually it doesn't have much strength.

Ziwen yelled, and thrust forward the silver spear in his hand, just stabbing Bart in the abdomen.Then with both arms, he picked Bart off the horse.Wenxuan over there followed Fang Tian's painting halberd and threw it towards the place where Bart fell off the horse, only to hear a scream, Fang Tian's painting halberd pierced Bart's chest, and Bart died on the spot.

There were only a few generals left in the Beiyuan Kingdom over there. Ziwen turned his horse's head, waved his silver spear, and charged directly at those who were still stubbornly resisting.Wen Xuan also drew back his weapon, and together with General Li and others, rushed towards the only remaining people.

After a few strokes, none of the generals of the Beiyuan Kingdom remained, and they were all killed.General Li raised the big knife in his hand high, "Send the order down and return to the city quickly. We will clean up the battlefield tomorrow morning."

So Daqi's soldiers quickly retreated, and they withdrew to the city in a short time.After counting the number of people here, it was finally confirmed that Daqi still lost more than 2000 people in this attack, and another 5000 people were injured.

Zixuan hurriedly sent people to the city to find all the doctors, Mrs. Qian and those apprentices, and came together to bandage the wounded soldiers and treat the wounds.

General Li came to see Zixuan with a smile on his face, "Master Lin, the last general admires you so much. Your lord's clever calculation is really the reincarnation of Zhuge."

Zixuan shook his head, "Everyone, please don't praise me so much, it's just that the enemy's general is too reckless, and he is not a person who has been in charge of the army all year round. If it is another person, this strategy may not be easy to use. Alright , everyone has worked hard, let's go down and eat something, the city has already prepared meals for you to celebrate."

Sure enough, a lot of food was brought under the city. It was the Chinese New Year, and every household bought a lot of delicious food.As soon as it was said that it was for these soldiers to eat, the common people were very generous to take out food, so the food at this moment is very rich.

"Soldiers and soldiers, although the [-]-strong enemy army has been wiped out at this moment, there are still more troops behind us. We are full tonight, and we must cheer up tomorrow and continue to defend the city. During this time, I can’t drink, and I’ve wronged everyone. Lin hereby assures everyone that when the army of Beiyuan Kingdom is defeated, Lin will definitely invite everyone to drink for three days and three nights.” Zixuan said standing in front of these soldiers.

The crowd applauded, and someone said, "Okay, then we'll have to wait for that day. I heard that Mrs. Lin has several wineries at home, and then we'll open up and drink." Then a big Some people followed suit and laughed.

Zixuan was also very happy to defeat the enemy today, and he felt much relieved when the enemy army was wiped out.Then he talked to several generals and went back to the mansion.

For the past few days, Jinghan has been on tenterhooks.Although there is that kind of soil bomb, it can only be used when defending the city, and it is useless for the rest of the time.She is also a girl, and it is not easy to go to the city to watch the battle, so she can only get angry at home.

As soon as she heard the outside said that the master had returned, Jinghan stood up directly and was about to go out, but happened to meet Zixuan. "Master, you are back, how is the battle outside?"

Zixuan put his arms around Jinghan's shoulders with a smile, "Don't worry, lady, the [-] people outside the city have already been wiped out." Zixuan and his wife still don't like servants to wait on them, so Zixuan entered the house At that time, let the girls go out.The husband and wife sat on the edge of the kang, and Zixuan talked to Jinghan about the outside affairs.

When Jinghan heard this, she looked at Zixuan in surprise, "Really? This is great. There are 3 or [-] people on the other side, are they all dead?" Jinghan didn't think there was anything bloody about it. , it was the Beiyuan Kingdom that attacked first, if they didn't resist, the people of Xizhou would be the ones who died by then.

Zixuan nodded, "It's true." Then he told Jinghan the details of the past few days. "It's just our first victory now, and there will definitely be Beiyuan's army coming one after another. Next, it will be a more difficult and dangerous battle to defend the city. At that time, you should be able to get that kind of bomb." It will come in handy. Jinghan, you are my lucky star."

Jinghan smiled, and then said worriedly, "Hanzhou is unwilling to send troops to rescue, and the imperial army may take at least 20 days to arrive. It's only been four days now, let's go on, I'm afraid It's more difficult."
