"You are saved!" Du Xuan looked at the Daqi people tied up in strings with ropes, and the joy of victory suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Many of the refugees were still soundly sleeping. These days, they were in constant fear every day. They had been on a hard journey and were very exhausted physically and mentally. At first, they tried every means to escape from the barbarians, but as time went by, tragic scenes unfolded.
As it happens in front of them, they start to become more and more numb.
Only a few people opened their eyes and looked at Du Xuan and the soldiers of Black Bear Fort blankly. They didn't know what was happening. Even the uniforms of the Daqi army on Du Xuan and the soldiers of Black Bear Fort didn't seem to allow them to react quickly.
.
Du Xuan didn't want any response from these poor refugees. He waved his hand and said, "Let them go."
The soldiers from Black Bear Castle immediately drew their short blades and walked over. In the end, some Daqi refugees were so frightened that they begged for mercy.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me."
Du Xuan shook his head and suddenly shouted loudly: "Fellow fellow Daqi people! We are the Daqi army of Chiyang Guard Black Bear Fort! The barbarians have been killed by us, and you are all saved. It is not safe here, you
After you are freed, I will arrange for people to prepare food for you. Take a rest here and evacuate to Chiyang Guard immediately."
When Du Xuan shouted, he consciously integrated Haoran's righteousness into his words. As expected, the effect was very good. Not only did he wake up all the sleeping people, but those who were still confused before finally figured out what was going on.
"Saved! We are saved!"
"God bless! We are saved."
…
Many people cried with joy.
But after the excitement of being saved ended, I began to worry again.
"Sichuan Mansion has been occupied by barbarians. Our home is gone. How will we live in the future?"
"Yes, there are more than fifty people in our family. We are dead and scattered. I am the only one left. How will we live in the future?"
…
"Everyone, listen to me first. There is war and chaos everywhere now. The city of Sichuan has been occupied by barbarians, and all the important guard towns have been occupied by rebels or barbarians. Only Chiyang Guard is still in the hands of the Qi army.
"I am the owner of Black Bear Castle. Black Bear Castle has cultivated a lot of fertile land and has plenty of food and clothing. You can follow me to Black Bear Castle for the time being. After driving away the barbarians, everyone will return home." Du Xuan said.
"Sir! How many troops does one Chiyang Guard have? If the barbarians attack, can you resist them?" someone asked.
Before Du Xuan spoke, Xu Bazhi immediately said in a rough voice: "The last time the barbarians sent an army of 30,000 to attack Chiyang City, only 3,000 troops escaped. Even the dog emperor of the Golden Crow Barbarians did not dare to attack the Chiyang Guards.
idea."
"Since you Chiyang Guards were able to defeat the 30,000 barbarian army, why didn't you rescue Fucheng and let Fucheng fall?" Someone else asked loudly.
"Asshole! We have good intentions to save you, but is this how you treat the benefactor who saved you?" Xu Bazhi said angrily.
Du Xuan quickly stopped him and signaled Xu Bazhi to step aside. Xu Bazhi stepped aside reluctantly.
Du Xuan said calmly: "The Chiyang Guard is just a guard post. There are not enough soldiers and militiamen. Only with the favorable location and people can we defeat the 30,000 barbarian army. The Chiyang Guard army guarded the key points. Once it fell, the barbarians could immediately
Drive straight in. The Chiyang Guard's less than 10,000 troops and horses, even if they are all deployed, are no match for the barbarian army of nearly 100,000. What's more, the city fell, how could it be the reason for the defeat?"
Lu Houzhong also stood up: "Dear elders, I, Lu Houzhong, am also from Sichuan. I was the first batch of people kidnapped from Fucheng by the barbarians. All of them were rescued by the Chiyang Guard army. The fall of Fucheng was clearly
The governor of Sichuan, Xu Yongwen, and the guard of Sichuan, Dai Mingnian, worked together and betrayed the country for glory. This allowed the barbarian dogs to capture the city without spending a single soldier. You know, after the civil unrest in Sichuan, Dai Mingnian mobilized the Sichuan government.
The total number of troops in each guard station, plus the city garrison, is no less than that of the barbarians. With the strong city walls of Sichuan, why were they defeated by the barbarians? Now, you are blaming the Chiyang Guards for the crime. Isn't this confusing right and wrong?"
We are all from Fucheng, Sichuan Prefecture. How can we not know what happened in Fucheng? After hearing what Lu Houzhong said, they all lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"My lord, student Han Xue really wants to ask your lord, if the Chiyang Guards have the ability in the future, can they go to Fucheng and drive away the barbaric dogs?" A young man dressed in tattered scholar clothes stood up and asked.
Although he looks a little embarrassed, his tattered clothes can't hide his scholarly temperament. This scholar named Han Xuezhen has actually obtained the title of scholar. If it weren't for this accident, he would have taken the scientific examination this year. Maybe he would have become a scholar.
Master, the future is bright. Sitting next to Han Xuezhen is a man who is even more filthy in clothes. His face is covered with mud, but the skin at the base of his ears is white. Although his earlobes are also coated with mud, they are
You can vaguely see the ear holes on it, so it's obviously a woman disguised as a man.
"It is the responsibility of Daqi soldiers like us to drive out the Tartars!" Du Xuan said loudly.
"Okay! I am willing to follow you to Chiyang Guard. I want to be a soldier!" Han Xuezhen said.
"Do you want to join the army?" Du Xuan asked.
"What's the use of studying? After ten years of hard work, in the end, I can't even protect my heart... or even my family. It's better to be a grassroots soldier, and be able to fight against the barbarian dogs when the trouble comes." Han Xuezhen looked at the man pretending to be a man next to him.
One glance.
"Brother, let me join the army with you." The woman next to Han Xuezhen said.
"You'd better forget it. The Du family army doesn't recruit female soldiers." Du Xuan said with a smile.
The woman immediately turned red with embarrassment.
Han Xuezhen was also a little embarrassed: "In order to avoid the barbaric dogs, my roommate had to dress up as a man and hide her face with mud. It really stained the eyes of adults."
"You guys need to fix things up first, and we can discuss some things when we get to Black Bear Castle." Du Xuan said.
There must be many bizarre and sad stories among the more than 20,000 people. Du Xuan had no way to understand their sufferings one by one, and there was no need to open their wounds.
After staying at Lingtai Guard for a few days, several groups of scouts were sent from the direction of Sichuan Fucheng to inquire about Lingtai Guard. The frequency was getting higher and higher, indicating that the anomalies in Maoyhan City and Lingtai Guard had attracted the attention of the Barbarian Emperor Golden Crow.
Fortunately, when we came to Lingtai Guard, we intercepted several groups of barbarian adventurers. Together with the war horses accumulated by Lingtai Guard itself, the total number was three to four thousand.
Du Xuan let the women and sick and wounded refugees ride on these war horses, while the young men walked, or took turns riding, or rode two at a time, slowly moving to Chiyang Guard.
Hu Benrui continued to stay at Lingtai Guard with nearly a thousand dragon-scaled horse cavalry, intercepting the scouts who came to inquire and intercepting the transportation of barbarian supplies.
