Chapter 647 647. Humiliation

The temperature dropped sharply after nightfall. In order not to be too bulky and affect their mobility, the soldiers abandoned their thick, warm cotton-padded clothes and replaced them with lighter ones.

I didn't feel nervous when I was fighting against the barbarians. I was so focused and my whole body was constantly moving that I couldn't feel the cold at all.

Not only was it not cold, I even broke into a sweat.

But once everyone stopped and relaxed, they immediately felt the biting cold wind, as if it wanted to seep into the bones. It was so cold that people trembled, even with the warm steamed buns stuffed in their mouths.

Not much improvement.

"Here comes the hot soup, here comes the hot soup."

Just when everyone couldn't bear the cold anymore, the call for help came.

Magistrate Wang led a group of government servants to prepare a large pot.

These cauldrons were kept on the fire all afternoon, just so that the soldiers could drink whenever they had time.

At this moment, Magistrate Wang's voice was as good as the sound of nature. Even with the military order, they did not rush in. Instead, they queued up to receive the soup in an orderly manner with their respective teams. After taking a mouthful of hot soup, they finally felt

Survived again.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wang."

Chen Lian, Zhao Shi and other generals who were recovering together with the soldiers looked at Magistrate Wang gratefully.

They saw everything that Magistrate Wang did. If it hadn't been for the efforts of Magistrate Wang and many people in the evening, they would not have been able to hold on to the arrival of these strange soldiers.

"It's not hard, it's not hard. I, the county magistrate, and you, General Chen, fought tooth and nail to protect Lingjiang City. It's far less than what I, the county magistrate, did. It was what I should have done, but unfortunately I still couldn't do it in the end..." Magistrate Wang said with a look on his face.

Guilt.

"Master Wang has done a very good job."

No matter what, he has indeed tried his best, and this credit cannot be erased.

Having said that, Mr. Wang still felt uncomfortable thinking about the lack of supplies and the city was almost lost. However, it was not the time to say more at this time. The soldiers who looked at the frozen soldiers were filling the soup much faster.

Chen Lian also took the opportunity to come to Liu Lin with a bowl of hot soup. As a result, he drank the soup but didn't ask anything.

All I know is that this is a new type of weapon, not only powerful but also very dangerous. According to Liu Lin, it is extremely explosive.

He just looked up at him, and Liu Lin put him away without any effort on the grounds of danger. Zhao Shi and others who came a moment later did not even have such a chance.

Looking at the contents stuffed in the wooden box, Chen Lian was so envious that he drank another bowl of broth.

The barbarian soldiers on the other side had no hot soup to drink.

They retreated a few miles away and gradually stopped after feeling no threat.

There were many seriously injured people who had no time to retreat and were left directly at the gate of the city. Of course, there was only one outcome waiting for them.

When they stopped, they sat down on the snow and felt the biting cold air, and the barbarian soldiers gradually calmed down.

The barbarians have always been proud of their strong bodies and fearless courage. They rarely get so panicked, not even when they faced off against the Qin army.

The calmed down barbarians were suddenly surrounded by a feeling called humiliation, and even the wounded beside them were ignored.

...They were actually scared.

But when he saw his comrades around him die in such a tragic way, he couldn't suppress the panic about the unknown at that moment. He instinctively just wanted to survive, even though he didn't want to die in this way.

The one who felt the strongest sense of humiliation was the leader of the barbarian army. He was forced by his subordinates to escape from the city gate.

After he stopped, he had a sullen face and almost shut himself up. This was the most painful and humiliating fight he had ever had since leading the army. He almost lost his shoes while escaping.

A little-known town that could easily be conquered was unexpectedly changed. Not only did it encounter fierce resistance, it could not be conquered for a long time, but in the end, such powerful weapons appeared.

For a moment, he couldn't help but wonder whether the Qin family army deliberately let them leave Bingzhou because Lingjiang was also a tough nut to crack.

Qin Jiajun: They won’t take the blame.

But he didn't know that this was just an appetizer, and what they would face next would be even harder bones to chew. In the end, not only did they not get it, but they were chewed to the core.

Now he has a gloomy face and just wants to regain his position quickly, completely capture Lingjiang City, and suffer shame with a single blow.

"Teng Saha..." the leader's gloomy voice sounded.

That night, the explosions in Lingjiang City continued until midnight.

The barbarian army rested for a few hours the next morning and then attacked again. Suddenly they found that there were many more people on the city wall, and the equipment for replacing shotguns with cannons seemed to be much better. In short, the whole feeling was completely different.

Just when they were surprised, the Lingjiang City Gate, which had been unable to be opened for a long time, opened automatically, and followed by a group of equally well-equipped cavalry led by an unusually handsome general rushed out of the city gate.

How could the leader of the barbarian army let go of such a good opportunity? The barbarian soldiers rushed towards the city gate as if they had been beaten to death, but they didn't know what they would face.

…

Lijiacun finally calmed down after accepting two more groups of refugees and filling five workshops.

They had a place to live, food to eat, and cheap and good charcoal. Their moods gradually stabilized after they lived a carefree life for the time being. Even some unstable individuals would stabilize when they saw the patrolling soldiers with knives.

came down.

Looking for something easy to do, these soldiers would change their faces faster than they could turn the pages of a book, and the sword would be directly placed on their necks in an instant.

Just ask if you are afraid.

You can rest assured having them in the Quran.

She has no problem accepting refugees, but she is absolutely not allowed to do things at her own pace without knowing what is right.

After walking around in a circle, he told Li Chui and other confidants to pay more attention, and then took Xia Mu back to Lijiacun.

The atmosphere in Lijia Village is the same as before. There has not been much change due to the incident with the barbarian army. The children have not suspended classes, and the children from surrounding villages who come to study still live in the school.

Not only that, their family members also took the initiative to send money, food and supplies. If possible, the children's family members would even be willing to live with the children. With such a strong and tall wall, they felt full of security and felt inexplicably.

Living here feels safer than in the city.

The only change is that the daily practice time has increased several times. It can be said that all the people in Lijia Village are martial arts, and everyone in the village, men, women, old and young, joins the battle.

Even if the road is icy and slippery and the old man cannot be there in person, he will still hold a wooden stick and make gestures at home.

Not only that, in addition to the certain practice time every day, I will also exercise hard at home.

Everyone who has experienced the hardships of fleeing from famine knows very well that only when they become stronger can they better protect their families.

Apart from this, Lijiacun still looks like it has been peaceful for many years.

The first thing Gulan did after arriving home was to change out of his leather boots and put on his special furry cotton shoes. Instantly, he felt that his feet came to life.

If it wasn't too indecent, Gulan would even want to grill his cold feet on the charcoal basin.

She can be regarded as a successful businessman, but she still has a bit of idol baggage. After all, there are so many people in the family, and the elder must set a good example for the younger generation, even if the younger generation is not here at the moment.
