Riding a chopping horse and stepping into the world

Chapter 145 The State of Yan'an

"I am the elder brother of the magistrate of Biancheng County——Zhang Tie."

Outside the north gate of Yan'an County, Zhang Tie's voice resounded in the night sky.

"Zhang Tie!"

Li Chengye and others on the north gate wall were stunned. They were no strangers to the name Zhang Tie. Most of Li Chengye's actions to suppress bandits were due to Zhang Tie.

It was precisely because of Zhang Tie's success in suppressing the bandits that the news reached here that Li Chengye sent troops to suppress the bandits.

Let go of the distracting thoughts in your heart, no matter what, the current Yan'an County still relies on the help of Zhang Tie and others, Li Chengye ordered to the soldiers behind him: "Open the city gate and welcome the friendly soldiers who have come from afar."

The suspension bridge at the north gate was slowly lowered by a few soldiers on the city wall, and then the city gate below was also opened by the soldiers below the city. Seeing that the city gate was opened, Zhang Tie first turned his head to Yan Beichen and the others After beckoning, he drove the heavy gray prairie horse, crossed the suspension bridge first, and entered the city gate.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Zhang Tie turned around and looked up at the soldiers on the city wall. Only then did he realize that there were far fewer soldiers in Yan'an County than he had imagined. He thought there should be more than a hundred soldiers anyway. In fact, there are less than 80 people, and more than half of them are government servants.

After hitting the horse into the city, Zhang Tie stayed not far below the city gate, waiting for Yan Beichen and others to enter the city.

When Yan Beichen led the soldiers from Biancheng County to the base of the city wall, with the help of the torches on the city wall, Li Chengye and the others finally saw clearly what was on the horse, and they all gasped.

The bloody weapons and equipment were put on the horses, and the bleeding heads hung on both ends of the horses. All of this shows that the bandits in the camp outside the city have all been killed by Zhang Tie and others. People are completely wiped out.

"Really, what a terrifying combat power."

Li Chengye looked at the soldiers of Biancheng County who were about to enter the city gate and muttered to himself, "If I have such elite soldiers, why not keep one side safe and wipe out the bandits?"

Wei Yixiao also looked at Yan Beichen and the others below in surprise, but compared to Li Chengye, Wei Yixiao's eyes were much better. Not only could he see what was on the horse's back, but he could also clearly see the clothes and conditions of the soldiers.

Looking carefully at the Biancheng County soldiers passing by the gate of the city, when the last one disappeared in front of his eyes, Wei Yixiao showed a shocked expression on his face.

Taking a deep breath, Wei Yixiao whispered to Li Chengye beside him: "Sir, these are indeed elites, and they are extraordinary elites. I wonder if you have noticed that none of them have anyone to carry the stretcher? "

Li Chengye was slightly taken aback, as if remembering something, looked straight at Wei Yixiao, and asked in a daze, "Could it be that you didn't find the wounded after careful inspection just now?"

Wei Yixiao nodded, with a complicated expression on his face, "We found a few wounded, but they all seemed to be slightly injured."

Swallowing a mouthful of spit, Li Chengye was speechless, and walked silently towards the stairs of the city wall, preparing to meet Zhang Tie and others, Wei Yixiao, Lu Mang and others followed behind him. 'No wonder they can clean up the bandits in the entire Biancheng County, hey! '

"Li Chengye, magistrate of Lower Yan'an County, thank you colleagues who came from afar for helping me relieve the crisis in Yan'an."

Under the city gate, Li Chengye bowed to Zhang Tie and others, and Wei Yixiao and others behind him did the same.

As a county magistrate, Li Chengye claimed to be subordinate in front of Zhang Tie and others, and even bowed, all of which showed that the arrival of Zhang Tie and others was equivalent to a slap in the face for Yan'an County, which was already in danger. A shot in the arm.

Although Li Chengye and the others lowered their stance, Zhang Tie would not take advantage of the momentum and returned a salute.

"Master Li is serious. I am also a person on the border of Yan State. It is only right to help each other. We will have to take care of each other in the future."

The two exchanged a few words of courtesy to each other. After finishing all the polite words that should be said, the two introduced their subordinates to each other. These are all basic etiquette issues.

Of course, the subordinates introduced are all centurions, or right-hand men around them. Ordinary soldiers do not need to be introduced.

After both parties had finished their introductions, Zhang Tie asked, "Master Li, do you know the current situation in Yan'an County?"

Li Chengye shook his head, looked depressed, and sighed, "Master Zhang, to tell you the truth, the situation in Yan'an County is really at the point of life and death, if not for your arrival, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tomorrow noon. "

Although Zhang Tie had no official position, Li Chengye still called Zhang Tie Master Zhang. First, Zhang Tie was well-known, and second, it was not difficult to see from the attitude of his subordinates towards Zhang Tie that Zhang Tie was the chief of these soldiers.

The third point is also the most important point, that is, Yan'an County really needs the help of Zhang Tie and others to survive the catastrophe in front of it.

That's why the proud Li Chengye called Zhang Tie Master Zhang.

Faced with Li Chengye's address, Zhang Tie was quite satisfied with it. As the saying goes, who doesn't like carrying people on a sedan chair.

Zhang Tie was also a little surprised when he heard that he couldn't last until noon the next day. He didn't expect Yan'an County to reach such a point.

Zhang Tie looked at Li Chengye in confusion, and asked in surprise, "Has the situation reached this point?"

Sighing again, Li Chengye told Zhang Tie the current situation in Yan'an County.

Since the failure to suppress the bandits in Yan'an County, the entire Yan'an County has less than 100 troops, divided into four city gates, with more than [-] people in each city gate.

From this morning until the afternoon, bandits outside the city launched two attacks on Yan'an County.

Although the bandits did not have regular siege equipment and could not attack the city advantageously, Yan'an County did not have any equipment for defending the city either.

However, the bandits still relied on their superiority in numbers to cause a lot of casualties to Yan'an County, and withdrew their troops in a weak gesture of victory.

Today, there are less than 300 soldiers in Yan'an County who can still fight. This is still including the number of yamen servants. These soldiers are divided into four city gates, with an average of more than [-] people in each city gate.

The bandits outside the city also suffered a lot of casualties during the two attacks, but there were so many bandits, so the casualties were nothing, and they could still continue to attack the city the next day.

Moreover, in the afternoon, some soldiers also saw that the bandits outside the city had already started to cut down trees. Needless to say, the bandits were preparing to build siege equipment. This was why Li Chengye said that he would not last until noon tomorrow.

The difference in numbers was too great. The next day, as long as bandits attacked a random place, the soldiers in Yan'an County would not be able to defend it.

After listening to Li Chengye's introduction to the current situation of Yan'an County, Zhang Tie nodded, cursed in his heart that he deserved it, and looked down on Li Chengye even more, but his face was expressionless.

Even if Zhang Tie came to solve the bandit siege this time, Yan'an County would basically be considered abolished.

Not only did the soldiers suffer heavy casualties, but they will not be able to send troops to the Koreans in the future.

Moreover, this bandit riot will definitely affect the people in Yan'an County more or less. At that time, the entire Yan'an County will be in a state of shortage, whether it is food or economy.

"Well, it's really dangerous—"

Just when Zhang Tie was sighing, suddenly there was an exclamation from the city wall.

"Sir, many people have appeared in the distance outside the city."

Zhang Tie and the others were taken aback when they heard the words, and then thought that bandits outside the city gate probably heard the noise here and came here now.

Zhang Tie and Li Chengye each took their subordinates, climbed up the city wall again, and looked out of the city wall.

ps: The first update, mustard oil starts at noon, and the code can only be coded at night, and the second update will be later.
