The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Page 453

After the troops were dispersed to 4 city gates, there were not many left.

Originally, there were few troops, and each city gate was defended by hundreds of people at most.

In this case, how could they stop Yuan Xi and Ta Dun's tens of thousands of troops from attacking.

Yuan Xi started preparing siege equipment a few days ago.

Just to make a difference at this moment, after deciding to attack, he took out all the siege equipment.

In just a moment, the gate was breached.

Lecheng County, which was originally strong and impregnable, was breached within a short period of time under the frenzied attack of the enemy.

When the city was broken, Jiang Qi led the soldiers and horses and had just joined up with the ugly men and horses.

Seeing that these Karasuma people have entered Lecheng County.Chou and Jiang Qi's faces turned pale.

"Oh, the general situation is gone!"

Looking at the city filled with gunpowder in the distance, Chou already knew that the county town was destroyed, and the soldiers and horses stationed outside the city had also lost their support.

If Lecheng County is still there, these ugly soldiers and horses can still rely on each other with the soldiers and horses in the city.

But now that the city was breached, they had only one fate to stay outside the city and wait for them, and that was to be breached by the Karasuma people and Yuan Xi's army.

After ugly sighed, he immediately made the decision to retreat.

If they don't leave, when the enemy's cavalry reacts, they may not be able to leave.

"Jiang Qi, get out."

Although there was a strong unwillingness in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, Chou could only issue an order to retreat to Jiang Qi and others.

The most unwilling person on the field is naturally Jiang Qi, but there is nothing he can do. The city was breached and he escaped with only a few thousand remnants. Thousands of people.

Those Karasuma people have always been cruel, and the big men who were captured were either dealt with on the spot or returned to serve as slaves.

Children and women are fine.

At least they can still have food to eat, and they can survive in the north.

However, once the elderly and young and middle-aged laborers are caught, they will either be killed on the spot, or they will be taken back to the north to serve as slaves. They will be enslaved all day long, and sooner or later they will die.

Unless you have a skill and can help these Karasuma people make iron or do other work.

Jiang Qi and Chou are not overly worried.

Because Ta Dun, who had entered the city at this moment, had just begun to show his evil and cruelty.

"Everyone rushed into the city, the men were beheaded on the spot, and all the women were captured!"

Ta Dun gave the first order to the soldiers in the city.

Those Karasuma officers and soldiers had been aggrieved for several days.

Has been very aggrieved by being suppressed, did not break into the city at all.

Now that they finally have the opportunity to show their own strength, how can they suppress the wolf nature in their hearts.

Even if they don't talk about it, they have already entered the city at this moment and started killing the people in the city.

In a short while, the city was full of wailing, and the smoke of war was everywhere.

From time to time, screams and cries echoed from the city.

These voices represent the grievances that these Karasuma people have endured in the past few days, and they want to vent it on the bodies of these Han people.

There are thousands of households and tens of thousands of people in the city.

Almost all of them died under the steel knives of these Karasuma people.

Yuan Xi and Tian Feng also entered Lecheng County together. Tian Feng felt very distressed when he saw the miserable conditions of the people.

He opened his mouth to Yuan Xi who was beside him.

"My lord, these people are my fellow citizens after all, let General Tadun stop quickly, if this continues, we will lose the hearts of the people."

"People's heart?"

After Yuan Xi heard Tian Feng's words, he smiled coldly.

"Do I still have popular support in Jizhou?"

Yuan Xi laughed at himself and said something to Tian Feng.

"These Karasuma people can be killed if they want to. Even if we talk to Tadun, Tadun will not necessarily listen to us. Killing some people in Jizhou is not bad for us, at least in Yuan Shang. When that guy conscripts, he can have fewer opponents."

"Besides, this place belongs to Liu Zheng's territory. It's nothing if I kill some of the enemy's civilians. Besides, the people who are killing now are Tadun, not us. If Tadun helps us take the blame, we get benefits. Such a good thing, why should I stop it?"

Yuan Xi had his own plan in his mind, and he never planned to stop the Tadun troops from massacring the people of Lecheng County.

After Tian Feng heard Yuan Xi's words, the expression on his face was obviously stunned.

But he knew Yuan Xi's character, and since he couldn't persuade him, Tian Feng wouldn't continue to say anything, but the way Tian Feng looked at Yuan Xi was a little different from before.

Chapter 33 Dynamics

It is not difficult for Tadun's army to attack a small county town.

Especially getting a small county like Lecheng County is no problem.

However, in order to vent their anger, their soldiers and horses stayed in Lecheng County for a longer time.

It took two full days before the people in Lecheng County were completely massacred. Thousands of women and children were escorted to Youzhou area and thrown among various tribes of Karasuma people.

After Hejian County was lost in Lecheng County, it was basically impossible to keep it.

Soon, in the next few days, Yuan Xi and Ta Dun's Karasuma army took advantage of the situation to occupy the entire Hejian County.

Losing Hejian County, although this is bad news for Yuan Shang, and even heard that these Karasuma people were even more angry after the massacre of the city in Lecheng County, but after learning about his generals, he did not After the loss was too great, Yuan Shang was somewhat fortunate.

"Lecheng County has already been occupied by Yuan Xi's troops?"

Yuan Shang looked at Chou and Jiang Qi who had withdrawn from the front line, and couldn't help asking.

Even though he had only lost more than [-] people, he was somewhat nervous when he heard the news.

"Young master, the last general is ashamed of you. The [-] army suffered heavy losses, and even lost Lecheng County. Please punish the young master."

Jiang Qi took the initiative to stand up and directly stopped the crime this time.

However, Yuan Shang did not intend to deal with Jiang Qi. Although Jiang Qi had no merit, it was not too much of a fault.

After all, with only 2 troops, it is indeed very difficult to block the soldiers of Yuan Xi and Karasuma.

This matter, even if it is given to anyone, is not so easy to do.

It's not good for Yuan Shang to blame Jiang Qi for this crime. Besides, Yuan Shang lacks good generals. If Jiang Qi's veterans are discouraged, I'm afraid it will be bad.

So Yuan Shang did not blame Jiang Qi for this problem.

"General Jiang Qi is serious. This battle is not your fault, but we are weaker than Yuan Xi. The purpose of Yuan Xi's coming here is to plunder food and grass. But fortunately, we have prepared in advance. He In Jianjun County, there should not be much food and grass for him to snatch."

Yuan Shang had already issued an order before, asking people around him to move all the land near Hejian near Youzhou and the villages outside the city, and there was no need to reserve too much food and grass in the city.

Therefore, even if Lecheng County was breached, the food and grass that Ta Dun and Yuan Xi could rob were limited.

It was precisely because of this situation that Ta Dun and Yuan Xi killed people to vent their anger.

"You continue to send troops and horses to station in Qinghe County. As long as Qinghe is defended, we still have the power to fight. Moreover, the troops of General Xu Huang and General Tai Shici have already arrived here. Now our strength should be equal to that of the enemy. , if the two sides really want to fight, the outcome is still unknown!"

Yuan Shang also began to become more confident because of Xu Huang and Tai Shici's joining.

Qinghe County is already the second line of defense prepared by Yuan Shang. Once Qinghe County is also breached, then Yuan Xi and his troops will be able to attack Yecheng directly.

"Don't worry, young master, even if the last general dies, he will definitely defend Qinghe County!"

After Jiang Qi finished speaking, he took the order and went back to Qinghe to guard it.

Yuan Shang nodded, feeling a little relieved.

With Jiang Qi and Chou guarding Qinghe, Qinghe has more than 3 soldiers and horses stationed there. Although it is not infallible, it has the ability to protect itself.

After all, it's just defense, not an active attack. This manpower is not considered weak.

And Zhongshan and Bohai County next to Qinghe may encounter even more tragic attacks.

After taking Hejian County, Jizhou was torn apart by these Karasuma people. Their soldiers and horses could go directly from Hejian County to Zhongshan State in the west and Bohai County in the east.

However, in Bohai County, Tai Shici and Xu Huang's troops have recently taken over the defense of Bohai County. It is not so easy for Yuan Xi and Ta Dun's troops to enter Bohai County.

Therefore, Yuan Xi, who did not get much food and grass in Hejian, would most likely send his troops to Zhongshan Kingdom.

In Zhongshan country, there are not many soldiers and horses here, because it was not a place under military control before.

Many business families are here, and the business here is relatively prosperous.

The Zhen family under Liu Zheng's main activities are here.

It's just that the troubles of the Yuan brothers became more and more serious. After Zhongshan became the main battlefield, the business activities here also began to slow down.

The Zhen family also gradually withdrew their base camp to Jianye from here.

Of course, there are still some Zhen family members staying here. After all, they will buy horses from the Xianbei tribe to the north through Zhongshan every year.

The Zhen family sent a lot of war horses to Liu Zheng every year through this horse transportation route.

In the courtyard of the Zhen family.

News came from Zhen Yao, the third master of the Zhen family. After learning that the Hejian County next door had been breached by Yuan Xi, Zhen Yao's face became a little ugly.

"Third Lord, something is wrong. Yuan Xi's troops have broken through Hejian, and they are about to sweep Jizhou."

The servants of the Zhen family hurried over to tell Zhen Yao the news.

Zhen Yao's face changed slightly when he heard the news.

Even though he knew that Yuan Xi's troops were attacking in Hejian County a few days ago.

But when he knew the news, he still inevitably felt worried about the safety of Jizhou.

"Yuan Xi really did attack Jizhou this time. I just don't know if Jizhou can stop Yuan Xi's attack."

"Third Master, what shall we do?"

The servant immediately asked Zhen Yao.

After all, they still have a lot of forces in Zhongshan County. If they don't withdraw in time, they won't be able to get away when Yuan Xi's men come here.

Zhen Yao knew that he couldn't stay here any longer.

Immediately, he gave an order to his servants.

"Quick, immediately transfer all our assets near Zhongshan to Qingzhou!"

Zhen Yao was instructing his servants to prepare to evacuate from Zhongshan.

But at this time, when the Zhen family went outside, a war horse quickly ran over.

Coming so quickly, the speed is very fast.

After arriving at Zhen's house, he yelled at Zhen's house directly, wanting to meet Zhen Yao.

Naturally, not everyone can see Zhen Yao.

However, the visitor was so aggressive that he was not easy to mess with at first sight.

The servants didn't dare to offend, so they immediately informed Zhen Yao.

Zhen Yao came out of the house suspiciously.

He didn't know who it was.
