"General, have a rest. We''ve been on our way all day and night. If we don''t rest, the brothers can''t hold on."
The adjutant of Liu''s army came to the main officer and said hoarsely.
His lips were dry and his body was dusty. Although he was not hurt, he still looked very bad.
The chief officer narrowed his eyes and asked, "where are we?"
"I''m going to Ningan County soon. There should be a road of more than 20 miles."
The adjutant looked into the distance and said.
"Take a rest after you get into Ning''an County! Let the brothers work harder! Although there are few defenders in Heyang, some people are still chasing them out. We can''t compete with those strange weapons in their hands. If they are caught up, we''re afraid many people will be scattered again. Now there are only more than 100000 people who can go back with them. If they are scattered again, Do you think... Those old folks in the family will leave us a life? "
The chief officer said in a deep voice.
The adjutant turned pale and said, "the general is right. I''ll urge others to speed up their pace. But now the morale of the brothers is very low. After entering Ning''an County, I''m afraid it will cause a lot of chaos. We have to allow the brothers to loot, release their grievances and accumulate some rations. Otherwise, it''s enough to stick to the county city."
The chief officer narrowed his eyes, thought about it, and said, "there are only 20000 people living in Ning''an County, the city wall is relatively low, and there are only hundreds of defenders. It is normal for such a small city to be completely occupied and destroyed by the Heyang people behind us."
The adjutant was stunned and immediately understood his general''s meaning. He was overjoyed, hugged his fist and bowed and said, "yes, general! I see!"
This attitude soon spread throughout the whole team.
More than 100000 soldiers knew their generals in a very short time and allowed them to plunder in the next county.
For a moment, the soldiers who were already exhausted and hungry suddenly had a new power.
Even the pace under his feet seemed to become much lighter.
It is not uncommon to allow soldiers to plunder.
Although under normal circumstances, most of the army will be more strictly restrained, because looting, once used to it, often leads to lax military discipline.
Any general with a little insight will not allow this to happen.
However, under certain circumstances, allowing soldiers under their command to loot is the only way to boost morale. Even if they know it is to drink doves to quench their thirst, there is no better way.
Just like now.
With sufficient motivation, these fugitives were in a high mood. They walked more than 20 miles faster than when they were in the best state in the past.
Looking at the wall only three or four meters high in Ning''an County, all the soldiers almost cheered.
For a time, the steps under my feet were faster.
Soon after arriving at the foot of Ning''an County, I saw that the city gate was closed, and the soldiers on the wall looked brave. The generals who led the team felt a little strange, but they didn''t think much.
Just let his adjutant shout to open the gate.
They are all cities controlled by Liu. Of course, it''s not difficult to shout to open the door.
But this time the adjutant''s call met some resistance. The soldiers on the wall didn''t seem to dare to open the door. I hope these soldiers are stationed outside the city and promise to send food out of the city as supplies.
Of course, such a proposal could not be agreed. The fugitives who had come here with one breath immediately made a noise.
The leader of the team felt that it was normal for the soldiers in the county to have such requirements, which naturally eliminated the only little doubt.
He was very tough and ordered the adjutant: "tell the soldiers guarding the city to open the city gate immediately! We work hard in front. They enjoy peace in the back. How dare they drag us back? It doesn''t matter. Give them a cup of tea. If the city gate hasn''t been opened after a cup of tea, I''ll take people directly to the city!"
The adjutant agreed excitedly, and then shouted and scolded the soldiers on the city wall again.
Shaoqing, the city gate of the county was finally opened from the inside. Under the leadership of the chief officer, nearly 200000 escaped soldiers rushed in along the open city gate.
For the upcoming looting, all soldiers seemed a little impatient, so that it was difficult to maintain order.
Generals at all levels had to stand at the gate of the city and shout to their soldiers to prevent congestion and congestion in the process of entering the city.
Even so, it took nearly an hour to finally send everyone to Ning''an county.
The team of nearly 200000 people can all enter the city of Ning''an County in one hour, which is an extremely exaggerated efficiency of entering the city.
If the desire to plunder did not stimulate these soldiers, they would never be so efficient.
So in most cases, desire is the fundamental reason for a person to become better.
After entering the city, the soldiers did not loot everywhere for the first time, but crowded the streets inside the city gate, which were crowded with several streets.
The leader of the team cheered up and said in a loud voice, "brothers, you only have one day. You need to have a good rest tonight. We''ll start early tomorrow morning and rush back to the county city as soon as possible, so you can control yourself. If anyone gets up tomorrow with soft legs and feet and can''t keep up with the team, don''t blame me for being cruel!"
The voice fell, and a roar of laughter and the general''s reassuring voice rose disorderly.
The chief officer did not continue to lecture, but waved his hand, indicating that these soldiers could help themselves.
All the soldiers cheered loudly and spread around like locusts.
The chief officer, his aides and dozens of Pro guards did not move.
Riding on the horse, watching the soldiers scattered, it seemed that the whole Ning''an county was submerged in an instant, but the chief officer frowned.
It has nothing to do with the soldiers'' indulgence. It''s just that Ning''an county is too quiet.
Looking around, his perception ability has expanded to the limit. However, except for the soldiers led by himself, the commander is not aware of anyone.
Sure enough, the soldiers who started looting nearby also had the earliest feedback at this time.
"Strange, no one. There is no one in these houses. What''s the matter?"
Similar voices sounded one after another, and the chief officer had a somewhat bad hunch.
At this time, the door behind him was suddenly closed again!
