Chapter 835: Living is not easy (4)
"Prime Minister of Jibei!" Wang Yu pushed Bao Xin''s bodyguard 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. Under 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 the baggage be carried out?" Okay? And if there is no baggage, how can the soldiers fight? Bao is also very anxious, really... Oh! I hope the king will see you clearly..."
"Yu is also well aware of the difficulties in 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 like the whole body is in ruins! The Prime Minister of Jibei... I am willing to go first, just to help Jinxiang quickly and save the governor from the fire!"
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 give him the face...
Bao Xin was right. In this kind of weather and on this road, it would be 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 cannot but be saved!
?What the most fearful thing about defending a city is not that there are many enemy troops, but that the city is alone and without support.
As long as there are reinforcements, the soldiers in the city and the people will have some hope in their hearts, and then they will grit their teeth and persist a little longer. 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 falling in drizzles, and the entire camp was no exception, it was all soaked. In order to ensure that people in the camp would not sleep in mud and water, the soldiers cut down a lot of trees and made simple wooden frames as beds. Some scraps of wood were paved on the passage between the main tents and the tents. …
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 off 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 stumbled and almost fell. He immediately took off his other shoe and stepped on the muddy pond. There are only ten miles in a day! Why not be impatient and wait for the weather to be fine to travel forty or fifty miles in one day? Wouldn''t it be better, Wang, please be aware that haste makes waste."
?Seeing this situation, Wang Yu was 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 did not 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 baskets to load 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! At that moment, 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 inferior to the county soldiers in combat power, 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. There is no 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 results can already be imagined. Liu Dai organized several death squads and hung himself from the city wall to kill 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 only cost an extra hour in the hands of the Yellow Turban soldiers who had been managing the land all their lives. things.
"Your Majesty..." Liu Dai''s bodyguard whispered to one side, "...there are still dozens of war horses in the city... Why don''t we withdraw 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 It’s up to you.”
The bodyguard beside Liu Dai immediately knelt down after hearing this and said in a deep voice: "We have to be treated kindly by the emperor, and we should serve the emperor bravely. How can we turn our backs on the master and run for our lives? We should die in the service of the emperor!"
Liu Dai nodded, then helped the guard up, patted his arm, and said no more...
"Commander, great 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. He pushed and pulled Guan Hai to Extrapolation from Chengdong.
?This city cave has been dug very deep. The rammed earth that has been compacted for an unknown number of years in the middle of the city wall is now being sprinkled down like powder, so that everyone in the cave is covered with...
At the moment when Guan Hai rushed out of the city cave, he seemed to be tired of the **** storm in the world. The high city wall that once stood on this land, after being riddled with holes, no longer knew how to soak it. After a lot of rain and blood, it collapsed with a bang in front of everyone.
Without even glancing at the soldiers buried alive in the holes by the collapsed city wall, Guan Hai 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 scarf soldiers 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...
