"Prime Minister of Jibei!" Wang Yu pushed Bao Xin's personal guards away, and then hurried into Bao Xin's tent, "Why don't you start?"
Liu Dai sent Wang Yu to Jibei County to urge Bao Xin to send troops. Bao Xin did not deliberately create difficulties or disobey orders as Wang Yu had expected. Instead, he basically obeyed Liu without any hesitation.
According to Dai's order, some of the county soldiers from Jibei Kingdom were allocated to march towards Dongping Kingdom, but they encountered heavy rain on the way...
The heavy rain turned all the roads into yellow mud ponds. Bao Xin's army had stayed in the camp for two days, and it was still in the camp on the third day without leaving. Although Wang Yu knew that rainy days were not conducive to marching,
, but couldn't help it anymore, so he rushed straight to find Bao Xin.
Bao Xin waved his hand and signaled the guards to go out. He stood up and bowed his hands to Wang Yu. Then he pointed to the outside of the tent and said, "Wang is leaving. Unless Bao doesn't want to, he can't. It's been raining heavily for days and the road is muddy. How can we carry the baggage?"
Okay? And if there is no baggage, how can the soldiers fight? Bao is also very anxious in his heart, but actually... Sigh! I hope the king will see you clearly..."
"Yu is also well aware of the difficulties facing Jibei..." Seeing Bao Xin's softened attitude, Wang Yu said calmly, "However, the governor is currently fighting in Jinxiang, and we are so close that we cannot enter! Yu
…It’s as if everything inside and outside is in ruins! The Prime Minister of Jibei... I am willing to go first for the front, and I just want to help Jinxiang quickly and save the governor from fire and water!”
After Wang Yu finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Bao Xin.
Although Liu Dai said before that if Bao Xin didn't cooperate, Wang Yu could use the scepter to seize Bao Xin's military power, but now it's not that Bao Xin doesn't cooperate, but that God doesn't show his face...
What Bao Xin said is correct. In this kind of weather and on this road, it is difficult for even people to walk, not to mention the heavy baggage vehicles. If you dismantle the camp and walk very far, the vehicles and horses will get stuck in the mud and move.
No, after finally rescuing the baggage trucks one after another from the mud pits, it was already dark time. The daily marching mileage was basically not much, and there was also the risk of soldiers getting exposed to the rain and getting sick. It was really not worth the gain.
, so setting up camp and waiting for the weather to improve is the right thing to do.
But Jinxiang has to save it!
What you fear most when defending a city is not the large number of enemies, but the isolation of the city without support.
As long as there are reinforcements, both the soldiers and the people in the city will have some hope in their hearts, and then they will grit their teeth and persevere. However, if they know that they have become an isolated island, they will soon lose their fighting spirit...
Wang Yu came to Bao Xin at this time and did not expect Bao Xin to lead the army immediately. Instead, he hoped to send at least some troops so that Liu Dai of Jinxiang and the common soldiers could see some traces of reinforcements and persist until
The moment the weather improves and the army is in place.
Bao Xin hurriedly stepped forward to help Wang Yu up, then sighed again and pulled Wang Yu outside the tent in the rain.
The rain was pouring down, and the entire camp was no exception. Everything was soaked. In order to ensure that the people in the camp would not sleep in the mud and water, the soldiers cut down a lot of trees and made simple wooden structures.
The bed was paved with some scraps of wood on the passage between the main tent and the tent...
Bao Xin braved the rain and walked a few steps to the side from the wooden plank paved by the road at the entrance of the tent. Then he stepped into the yellow mud soup and sank deeply into it. He then struggled to walk a few steps forward.
He stepped forward, turned around, wiped the rain from his face, and said loudly: "Wang Farewell! It's not that I don't agree, it's just..."
Bao Xin tried hard to lift his foot, but the shoe was firmly sucked by the yellow mud. After pulling it out a few times, his foot came out with a pop, but the shoe remained on the muddy ground. Bao Xin staggered.
He almost fell, so he immediately took off his other shoe, stepped on the mud, and said: "...the road is muddy, how can we do it? Marching forcefully will consume the soldiers' fighting strength, and it can only reach ten miles in one day.
Why not be impatient and wait for the weather to be fine, so you can travel forty or fifty miles in a day, wouldn't it be better? Farewell, King, you must know that haste makes waste..."
Seeing this situation, Wang Yu was also speechless. He did not continue to emphasize that he must send troops. He just sighed and looked up at the sky. He didn't know whether it was tears or rain on his face...
At this moment, he naturally didn't notice the inexplicable look in Bao Xin's eyes...
*********************
At this time, Liu Dai in Jinxiang also looked up at the sky, but there were no tears on his face, only rain and...
Blood and water.
Every Yellow Turban under the city rolled like a mud monkey, leaving only a human figure. Even the Yellow Turban coach Guan Hai was no exception. He personally got into the excavated earth holes in the city wall many times and kept ramming the earth.
The city foundation was dug loose, and those who had baskets used them, while more people used various weapons to pull them, or even grabbed them with their hands, held them, and threw them desperately towards the outside of the city wall...
Not many people continue to climb the ladder, because now everyone knows that maybe the city wall will collapse in the next moment! By that time, there will be no need to use the ladder at all!
Liu Dai stood on the city wall, and the various panicked sounds around him were masked by the heavy rain. He did not expect that although the yellow scarf thieves were much weaker than the county soldiers, the work of digging pits was theirs.
As a veteran, I felt chills in my heart when I saw handfuls after handfuls of soil being thrown out of the holes under the city wall, and then quickly disappeared under the wash of rain.
Jinxiang County is the same as most cities in Yanzhou. It does not have any dangerous geographical location. It is just a city made of rammed earth. But now, when the earth foundation is constantly being dug up and soaked with rain and blood,
The result can be imagined. Liu Dai organized several death squads and hung himself from the city wall to defeat the Yellow Turban soldiers who were digging the city wall several times. However, the symptoms were treated but not the root cause. The hastily filled-in soil was lost in the hands of the Yellow Turban soldiers who had been managing the land all their lives.
, which means it takes an extra hour.
"Your Majesty..." Liu Dai's personal guard whispered to one side, "...there are still dozens of war horses in the city... Why don't we retreat at night..."
Liu Dai hesitated for a moment, but then shook his head, "I am a clan member of the Han Dynasty and the emperor's descendant. If my fate is to die here, God wants to destroy me. How can I abandon the army and the people and survive? If you want to survive, you can do it.
Do it yourself."
When the guards beside Liu Dai heard this, they immediately knelt down and said in a deep voice: "We have to be treated kindly by your envoy, and we should serve you bravely. How can we turn our backs on our lord and run away with our lives? We should die in the service of your envoy!"
Liu Dai nodded, then helped the guard up, patted his arm, and said no more...
"Commander, Commander, come out quickly! The city wall is about to collapse, don't fill it in! Hurry up!" Guan Hai, who was digging in the city cave, was pulled by the veterans around him, who pushed and pulled Guan Hai to the cave.
Extrapolation from Chengdong.
This city cave has been dug very deep. The rammed earth that has been compacted for countless years in the middle of the city wall is now being sprinkled down like powder, and every person in the cave is covered in it...
At the moment when Guan Hai rushed out of the city cave, he seemed to be tired of the bloody storm in the world. The high city wall that once stood on this land has been riddled with holes.
After a lot of rain and blood, it collapsed with a loud bang in front of everyone.
Guan Hai didn't even glance at the soldiers who were buried alive in the cave by the collapsed city wall. He raised his arms and shouted wildly, then led the soldiers to swarm toward the gap in the collapsed city wall!
***************************
Jinxiang, the city is broken.
Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, died in the rebellion.
"Three Kingdoms": Millions of yellow turbans from Qingzhou entered Yanzhou, killed Zheng Sui, the Prime Minister of the city, and moved to Dongping. Liu Dai wanted to attack him, but Bao Xin admonished him, but Dai refused, so he fought and was killed...
