Chapter 1736: Soldiers approach the city
Wang Liang was stunned for a moment.
Some people don't understand what the other person's words mean.
However, Wang Hu quickly gave the answer, and he said: "Take you out of the city to avoid being trapped by the thief army and dying in Daizhou City. Only outside the city is found that the city is not supported, we can retreat our troops outside the city first and preserve our strength."
"General is brilliant." Wang Liang gave a thumbs up with admiration.
I thought that my general would either follow the thief or defend Daizhou City with the soldiers in the city, but I didn't expect that Qianhuyuan would escape from the city to be able to abandon the city.
If a man does not punish himself for himself, he will not feel that there is any problem with doing so.
"Remember to explain all the personal soldiers and servants of our Wang family, so that they can use more essential ingredients for the horse feed these days, and prepare dry food in advance, so that they can protect our Wang family and retreat to Wan County at any time." Wang Hu explained.
The bandit army will get his attitude before noon tomorrow, so he is very clear that in the past half day the bandit army will come from Yanmen Pass to the city of Daizhou.
Wang Liang nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, General, if you keep giving me your instructions personally, no one dares to be lazy."
It is related to life and death, and he dare not be careful.
"Okay, go and do it! Remember this matter and don't leak it for the time being." Wang Hu reminded.
Wang Liang nodded and asked immediately: "What should we do with the ordinary battalions who came here with us? It may not be easy for us to take so many people away from the noses of the thieves."
In addition to Wang Hu's personal soldiers, there are thousands of ordinary soldiers from Qianhu's office here.
"Don't worry about their life or death. You just need to ensure that when you leave, it is enough for our Wang family's personal soldiers to take them away together." Wang Hu did not take the ordinary guards who followed him seriously at all.
In his opinion, the personal soldiers and servants of the Wang family are the fundamentals, and those ordinary soldiers can attract as much as they want in the future.
Wang Liang retreated from Wang Hu's room.
The bandit army occupied Yanmen Pass, and the city of Daizhou was already in a panic.
The city gate is only open for one hour a day, and the rest of the time it is closed. Moreover, if the people outside the city want to enter the city, they not only have to pay a high fee for entering the city, but also be searched by soldiers guarding the city.
The people outside the city who wanted to take refuge in the city complained endlessly.
But there is no way. If you want to survive, you can only escape into the city before the bandits arrive. So no matter how expensive the entry fee is, you can only pay it with your teeth.
In the past two days, the soldiers guarding the city were happy.
Even if the city gate is only opened for one hour a day, the amount of money collected is higher than in the past few months. The wealth that was collected from the people for various reasons has made them richer, and from time to time can also take advantage of the women who have entered the city.
If the master in the yamen hadn't allowed the city gate to open for too long, they would have wished they would have been open all day.
The opening time of the city was a long time, so many people were unable to enter the city and could not go home, so they had to stay outside the city to build a temporary shed for the night.
The weather is cold and the simple shed doesn't work at all. The family can only rely on each other to keep warm, enduring the cold night and waiting for the next day to open the city gate.
Every day when the city gate opens, countless people want to enter the city, but the number of people waiting outside the city gate does not decrease at all. Instead, more and more people coming from further away gather in front of the city gate.
"Bandits, the bandits are here." On the top of Daizhou City, a soldier guarding the watchtower found dust and smoke everywhere in the direction of Yanmen Pass, and a large group of cavalry rushed to Daizhou City.
"Close the city gate quickly, close the city gate quickly." The soldier leader guarding the city gate shouted loudly as his subordinates closed the city gate.
Although the people guarding outside the city gate had not yet noticed the thief cavalry coming from afar, they could see the soldiers guarding the city gate, but the bandits shouted from time to time on the top of the city immediately guessed that the bandits were coming.
Countless people flocked to the city gate, which made the soldiers who wanted to close the city gate exhausted their strength and could not close the city gate. Instead, the people outside the city squeezed in through the cracks in the door.
More and more people are squeezing into the city, and the gap between the city gates is becoming wider and wider.
Several soldiers tried their best and it was still difficult to close the city gate a little.
"Punt them with a spear and drive them away." The leader of the soldiers saw that the city gate could not be closed, and ordered the soldiers to kill the people.
Several soldiers holding spears began to stab the people who squeezed the city gate with the tips.
The city gate was crowded with people, and a splash of blood was splashed with one shot.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Long spears kept stabbing the people, and the number of injured and dead people continued to increase. Crying, scolding, and begging kept coming from outside the city gate.
The soldier holding a spear did not stop at all, and the spear in his hand still stabbed at the people who wanted to rush to the city gate.
Soon, the people in front of the city gate began to run for their lives, and fewer and fewer people squeezed the city gate.
The soldiers who closed the city gate were no longer as stressed as before. The city gate was quickly closed, leaving only countless people outside the city crying.
A team of cavalry with the tiger flag came to the city of Daizhou City.
The headed cavalry captain frowned when he saw countless ordinary people huddled under the city wall outside the city.
"Captain, there are too many people outside the city. Should I drive them away?" asked a cavalryman next to him.
The cavalry captain raised the monocular lens in his hand and looked at the defenders on the city wall.
The only people who saw these bandits wearing armored clothes were already more numerous than those of Zhenwu Wei’s armored clothes.
"Have you discovered that most of these bandits use muskets. As the rumors are, aren't they afraid of blowing up and hurting themselves?" Someone among Wang Liang and his group said in surprise.
The quality of the muskets in the Ming army was really worrying. Many Ming army soldiers would rather use big swords and spears than use muskets, such as weapons that kill one thousand enemies, to damage eight hundred of them.
"Shut up, don't be embarrassed here." Wang Liang was a little annoyed when he was said and couldn't help but scold him.
Naturally, the others didn't dare to say anything, but their curious eyes still looked around.
After some reports, the man brought the man to a big tent.
"The young man fulfilled his mission and brought the envoy of Wang Chenshi." When Nash saw Wang Yuncheng in the tent, he immediately knelt down.
Wang Liang, who entered the tent together, did not kneel down with him, and looked at a man behind the table.
He had never seen several people in the tent, but he could feel that the man sitting behind the square table was probably the commander of the thief army who attacked Yanmen Pass.
"Wang Hu, the personal general under General Wang, has met the general." Wang Hu took the lead in greeting the man behind the square table.
