The convention hall of Yingchuan Academy was in chaos at this moment, and the children of aristocratic families looked frightened and exchanged countermeasures. Many even proposed to move their families to take refuge.
Who is the Yellow Turban Thief? That is the ant thief who specializes in killing wealthy families!
If the Yellow Turban Thief swept across Yingchuan, the famous families of these gentry would have lost their nests!
"Everyone, please calm down first." Xun Yan had to come forward to stabilize the situation, and the children of the aristocratic families were convinced by the Xun family. After hearing this, they all kept silent and looked at Xun Yan's wonderful plan to retreat to the enemy.
Xun Yan said loudly: "Bo Cai led 10,000 troops to Yingchuan, and his purpose is unknown, but no matter what, we must be prepared to defend against the enemy. If we cannot unite at this moment, the consequences may be unimaginable."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qun stood up and said, "Xu Ruo what Brother said is great good. In this critical moment, we must work together to overcome this great disaster."
"I don't know what the best ideas do you have in the long article?" A family of aristocratic families asked Chen Qun for advice.
Chen Qun turned his eyes, looked at Guo Jia, and bowed, "Qun knew that he was talented and had a plan to defend the enemy. I believe that he had a clever plan in his heart."
Everyone turned their eyes to Guo Jia. To be fair, although Guo Jia was unruly, arrogant and arrogant, and the children of aristocratic families had been jealous of him for a long time, he had to admit that Guo Jia was indeed talented and did not care about his views at the moment, hoping that Guo Jia could stand up.
After a few coughs, Guo Jia said lightly: "Taipingdao soldiers forced the imperial capital to be the top priority. Bo Cai divided his troops to attack Yingchuan. No matter what he intended, whether he plundered money and grain, or slaughtered large households, he would definitely not stay here for a long time. There are two reasons: Yingchuan is flat and has no danger to defend, and it is impossible. Besides, Bo Cai is a rebel general of Taipingdao. How could he miss such an important war as siege Luoyang? Therefore, we only need to concentrate our troops and move into the city and hold on for a few days before Bo retreats."
Everyone in the room looked at each other and suddenly realized it was reasonable. Xun Yan nodded deeply and thought about it. After thinking, he said, "Since that's the case, we will move all the children in our family to Changshe. When the wave comes, we can hold on."
Changshe?
Guo Jia was stunned again and thought to himself: Without Huangfu Song's army, would Bo Cai still be buried in Changshe?
After discussing the details, everyone said goodbye one after another and went home to arrange the relocation matters. At this moment, the wealthy families in Yingchuan were united and united and cooperated in order to preserve the family.
After the children of the aristocratic family left, only Xun Yan, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and Chen Qun were left in the room.
Xun Yan frowned and asked the three of them: "I can't figure it out. Bo Cai defeated General Huangfu's nearly 100,000 troops on the Jizhou border. Although this battle was caused by General Huangfu's army that defeated him without fighting, Bo Cai swallowed up countless weapons, armor, food and supplies of the King's Army. Now he has nothing to lack. Why did he divide his troops to attack Yingchuan? If it was a passing, it would not make sense. The five armies of Taiping Road raised 600,000 troops to force Luoyang, obviously they wanted to achieve their achievements in one battle. Under such circumstances, Bo Cai came to Yingchuan, which is really unpredictable."
"Why don't say that, I rack my brains to figure out the purpose of the marching, but I have no clue at all." Chen Qun sighed and turned his eyes to Guo Jia.
At this time, Xi Zhicai looked at Guo Jia with a little meaningful meaning, and Guo Jia also had a premonition in his heart: Bo Cai was coming to me!
But you can't say this anyway, otherwise you will be killed.
Two days later, all famous families in Yingchuan moved into Changshe City. Guo Jia also brought more than 300 civilians from his family into Changshe and brought Xu Shu and his son to reunite.
At the same time, Bo Cai led his troops to 10,000 to Yingchuan, and after getting the news, he went straight to Changshe.
In Changshecheng County Government, the county magistrate and county magistrate had already fled, and this place became the place where the gentry and wealthy families discussed and commanded.
"The total number of servants and guards in each family is more than 1,700. The food and grass transported to the city is enough to support half a year." Chen Qun sighed slightly after reporting. These families have a lot of food and grass, but there are too few people who can go to the battlefield.
Xun Yan nodded and looked at Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Xi Zhicai, and asked: "The Bo Cai army may arrive at the city within one day. Is there anything else to add to the three of you?"
Xu Shu replied: "You can prepare the boiling oil in advance and then move the stones outside the city into the city. When defending the city, you can use it to defend the enemy. In addition, the city gate must be heavily guarded, and Bo Cai's army came from afar. I am afraid that his attack in the first battle will focus on attacking the city gate."
Xun Yan followed the good deeds and immediately sent orders to execute them. Xi Zhicai continued: "The soldiers guarding the city come from various aristocratic families. On the battlefield, I am afraid that they will not obey the orders and fight on their own. I want to reorganize these nearly two thousand soldiers guarding the city, and be commanded by the Xun family's children. Those who do not obey the orders can kill one to warn a hundred."
Everyone's faces were calm and awakened. Guo Jia sighed: "Zhicai is very worried. The defenders of less than 2,000 are not strong in combat. If they do not obey orders, they may be attacked by Bo Cai in the first battle."
It’s not that Guo Jia looks down on these aristocratic families, but that Yingchuan has produced great talents since ancient times, but it is not certain that all the famous families in Yingchuan are heroes. Only the Xun family admired by Guo Jia. At this critical moment, only the Xun family can take this task without arousing public anger. If Guo Jia comes to lead the city, he may not be able to command a soldier at all, because the slaves of the aristocratic family look down on Guo Jia, who is from a poor family. Similarly, Xi Zhicai is not good, Xu Shu is not good, and even Chen Qun may not have enough appeal and will be difficult to convince the public.
After everything was arranged, Guo Jia, Xun Yan and others came to the front of Changshe City and waited for Bo Cai's army.
In the evening, dust was flying outside Changshe City, and soldiers wrapped in yellow turbans rushed in like a tide. They paused a mile outside the city. The person who was riding a horse was Bocai.
Seeing that small city approaching, Bo Cai raised a disdainful smile on his lips: Huangfu Song's generation of famous generals were killed by me Bo Cai. These Yingchuan gentry tried to use the small city to block our army? I was delusional! The 100,000 troops were killed by me and I did not leave any armor. How many soldiers can this small city have?
"Transfer the order and take a break and attack the city in one hour! Crack the north gate with all your strength, and after entering the city, surrender without killing."
The Yellow Turban soldiers all found it strange that if they break through cities, they would kill all the great gentry families. Why did they surrender now and not kill them? Only Bo Cai knew the answer.
Bo, who was riding on the horse and looking at Changshe City, recalled the scene more than half a year ago. It was late at night outside the gate of Yecheng, and he strongly advised Zhang Jiao to kill the boy who spoke wildly.
Within ten years, if Taipingdao takes action, he will be defeated!
Guo Jia, Guo Jia, my Taiping Road is now unstoppable. I will capture the imperial capital soon and change the dynasty. Have you ever thought of the current situation that day? I know that the great wise and good teachers love you very much, and even rumored that they want to accept you as their adopted son and pass on the great cause of Taiping Road to you. So today, I personally invite you and go to Luoyang with me, so that you can see my Taiping Road become a hegemony forever.
At the top of Changshe City, Guo Jia, Xun Yan and others looked harsh. Looking at the Bo Cai army not far away, they were not afraid at all.
They are not afraid, there are so many people they are afraid of.
"He, what are they going to do? Why don't they attack or retreat? What is this?" A child from a noble family with trembling teeth asked weakly.
Chen Qun stood upright at the top of the city and said in a deep voice without looking back: "Bo has just rushed over. At this moment, he is just taking a break. After the soldiers recover their energy, they will attack the city."
Xu Shu clasped his fists to Xun Yan and said, "Brother Xiuruo, order the soldiers guarding the city to prepare."
Xun Yan immediately issued several orders, and the Xun family's children took orders and then took action separately.
An hour later, the sky became darker, and Bo was already a arrogant soldier and general, regardless of the darkness of the sky, and wanted to break through the Changshe in one go.
Bo Cai, who stood in front of the army, waved his hand and roared: "Siege."
The Yellow Turban Army behind him rushed away like a wild horse.
Looking down at the front of Changshe City, the soldiers in front were like long dragons and seas, and the fierce momentum swept through. Many children of aristocratic families were trembling with fear and their lips turned pale. However, Guo Jia chuckled: "I heard that Bo Cai defeated tens of thousands of Han Dynasty Kings and killed dozens of generals including Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun. When I saw him today, this person was not worthy of his name, and he was a mediocre person."
Xi Zhicai, Xu Shu, Chen Qun, and Xun Yan all nodded and chuckled in agreement.
There was a family family next to him who didn't understand their intentions and asked, "I see that this Yellow Turban Thief is coming fiercely, why did Brother Xiu Ruo laugh?"
Xun Yan chuckled and said, "Although Changshe is a small city, it is not strong, but Bo Cai wanted to forcibly break through the city gate without any siege equipment. Besides, the sky was dark and the earth was dark. Bo Cai ordered his subordinates to attack the city without any casualties. It is said that it is easy to avoid hidden arrows and it is difficult to prevent them. When his army reaches the city, the rain of arrows hits the city, and the Yellow Turban Thiefs are even more difficult to avoid. It seems that Bo Cai has been blinded by the previous victory, and he is so naive that he thinks that siege is enough just by having too many people."
The Yellow Turban Army formed two formations to attack the city. The soldiers in front rushed towards the city gate with giant trees. There were crossbowmen behind them shooting arrows at the top of the city to cover them. Bo Cai led the infantry to watch the development of the war in the rear. As soon as the city gate was broken, he led his army to march straight in.
The sky became darker and the Yellow Turban Bowler could not see the figures on the Changshe City Tower at all. He could only shoot at the city tower without any accuracy. The Yellow Turban Army, who was rushing towards the city gate with a giant tree, was attacked by a rain of arrows before it rushed under the city gate.
Because I knew that the Yellow Turban Army was sieging the city gate, although the soldiers guarding the city were not good at shooting, they had very good results when they shot blindly in front of the gate below the city. Many Yellow Turban Army went on one after another, and after a large number of casualties, they finally came to the gate of Changshe City and picked up a giant tree to hit the gate.
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
The soldiers in the city tried their best to block the city gate. Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, the Yellow Turban Army who bumped into the gate outside the city screamed and cried, because countless stones were smashed and boiling oil was poured on the city tower.
There was a wailing outside the city gate. The wave watching the battle in the distance was blown by the night wind, and the coldness was everywhere. He suddenly woke up a little and ordered the troops to withdraw.
After the Yellow Turban Army withdrew, there was a lot of cheers in Changshe City. Guo Jia and Xun Yan and others at the top of the city also said a few polite words to each other, but unexpectedly, Bo Cai came to Changshe City alone.
Chapter completed!
