Chapter 201
As the city guard of Shengle City, the city fell before he even took office?
Zheng Fan rubbed his face hard with both hands. Isn't this too damn hard?
When playing games in the past, you would have at least one city or a farm as your base at the beginning, but what about you now?
My family is gone!
To be honest, Zheng Fan is now thinking about turning around and returning to Yinlang County to continue guarding his Cuiliu Castle. At least there is a castle there for him to live in.
Although the Yan army's military laws were strict, Zheng Fan was not worried that the blame would fall on him. After all, he had not even reached Shengle City, but the city was destroyed. If he wanted to impose more crimes, he would not be able to blame him, right?
"Your Majesty?" Liang Cheng was still waiting for instructions.
It’s such a high sky,
Such a broad sea,
What do you think we should do next?
"How far are the Situ family's troops from us?" Zheng Fan asked.
"According to the report from the messenger, the distance is actually quite far. However, too many powerful people and many forces in the new land have descended upon hearing the news, so the Situ family has made a lot of noise this time. Moreover, my subordinates think that the other party has Since the attack is sudden, it is impossible not to send in deep troops and horses, and the Jin people have no shortage of cavalry."
Zheng Fan nodded. The situation could be said to be dark now. As a team accompanying the army to their posts, it had not yet been assigned to any unit's combat order, so the information could be said to be quite limited.
In other words, Zheng Fan's troops did not exist in front of the desks of the various commanders or the Marquis of Jingnan.
"The whole army enters this fort and recruits all the men in the fort to become civilian husbands."
"Subordinates obey!"
No matter what, let's find a place for ourselves first. This Wubao is actually not very big, but it is a support at least. There should be a lot of food and other things in it. In addition, Zheng Fan also brought a lot of things with him when he took office this time. Zheng Fan was really reluctant to let himself lose all his things and travel lightly.
Most importantly, where are you traveling light?
Are you going east to find the Situ family to fight with?
He, Xu Wenzu, didn't replenish his troops. Even if he included those young ladies, he had less than 2000 men on hand. How could he have the capital to fight?
Or go west back to Yan State?
How can it be justified if he returns to Yan State without fighting a single battle and without even seeing the enemy?
In fact, there is another choice, that is, either go north to find Li Bao's Zhenbei Army stationed in Quhe City or go south to join Litian City where Jingnan Marquis is located.
But all these belongings have to be left here. Zheng Chengshou is not willing to lose money unless he really has to escape for his life.
Because of this, the old owner of this Wubao was dumbfounded. He had obviously been a grandson for a long time, and had donated all the grain, wine and meat in the Wubao for the Yan people to enjoy. However, the Yan people fell out whenever they wanted. He rushed into his fort, first controlled himself and his family, and then drove the men in the fort to immediately start building high walls.
Is this, something happened?
The old man was getting older and had long lost the ambition of his youth. At this time, he gritted his teeth and took the initiative to help the Yan people appease the other people in Wubao and let them cooperate with the Yan people.
All the old man wanted was that no matter what happened, it would be enough to save some blood in his Wubao. As for whether he was a thief or an aid to evil, he had no such idea and did not think about it.
After all, Jin has only known the three major families but not His Majesty for too many years. If the military system of the Yan people is very similar to that of the barbarians, then the political system of the Jin people is very close to that of the barbarians.
In other words, the Jin State was an alliance under the banner of "Jin" a long time ago. The people of Jin really have no loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and no sense of belonging. They are just changing the king's flag on the city wall. When someone comes, listen to that person.
Therefore, after the main forces of the Helian family and the Wenren family were wiped out in one fell swoop, half of the Jin Kingdom almost surrendered after hearing the news.
In this regard, although the people of Qian country are not very good in combat effectiveness, their soft power is much higher.
Zheng Fan put on his armor and stood on the battlements with a knife and looked into the distance. A sudden change disrupted all the previous arrangements and blueprints. However, these are secondary. At the moment, what Zheng Fan least wants to see is It means that soldiers and horses will appear in your field of vision.
We only have this little family foundation left, and we are still waiting to save the flames, but we must not leave everything here, otherwise we will be back to the pre-liberation period after decades of hard work and one night.
"My lord, please don't worry. Even if the Situ family sends troops, Jin is so big, they can't just come straight to us." Liang Cheng consoled him.
Zheng Fan looked around and found that the blind man was not here. Looking at Liang Cheng again, Zheng Fan smiled bitterly and said:
"A Cheng, do you know what the blind man would say if he were here?"
"say what?"
"He'll shut you up."
"..." Liang Cheng.
Privately, the blind man once told Zheng Fan that it might be a coincidence that other people's words came true, but Liang Cheng had too many coincidences.
In the final analysis, it may be because this guy is a big zombie. This kind of evil thing is countless times more unlucky than a crow mourning at your door. Nothing about being too old or unlucky will be on the table in front of Liang Cheng.
At this time, the sentry rider came back on horseback, entered the fort, and reported directly to Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng under the wall:
"Junmen, there is a troop approaching from the front!"
Zheng Fan looked at Liang Cheng,
Liang Cheng pretended not to know that Zheng Fan was looking at him.
asked:
"How many people are there on the other side?"
"Hundreds of riders."
When Zheng Fan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Hundreds of riders, that’s not too much.
However, soon, another sentry rider rode back. This sentry rider still had an arrow stuck in his back, but it was probably stuck in his armor. The injury was not very serious.
"Junmen, a huge cavalry force appeared twenty miles east!"
Obviously, the two sentries detected different things, and the latter should have been released farther.
At the very least, they were all soldiers who had seen battles, and the sentry cavalry was only qualified to serve as the most elite cavalry in the army. It was impossible to mistake hundreds of cavalry for "huge scale".
"How many are there?"
"Nearly ten thousand!"
Nearly ten thousand?
Nearly ten thousand is a very vague term. You must know that once the number of people gathered in a place exceeds ten thousand, it will be overwhelming. It depends on the detection of the sentry rider. Even the most experienced sentry rider will be difficult to give an accurate number. Besides, how could others not send sentry cavalry out?
The cavalry is even more difficult to calculate. The dust when the cavalry is marching comes from both humans and horses. It is almost impossible to detect the specific number of the opponent.
However, the approximate number of nearly ten thousand is already staggering, and they are basically all cavalry.
No matter how good Zheng Fan felt about himself, he would never lead his troops into a head-on confrontation with the opponent.
Therefore, at this time, Zheng Fan looked at Liang Cheng again. Anyway, the crow incident had been triggered, so it was better to listen to what the professionals had to say.
"My lord, this Wubao is not as good as Cuiliu Fort, but it is the only place to rely on in the surrounding area. If you leave at this time, unless you throw away all the baggage you are carrying and evacuate quickly, you will most likely be killed by the Situ family in the rear. The soldiers and horses are catching up."
By then, the numerical disadvantage in the wilderness will be too clear.
Zheng Fan heard what Liang Cheng meant and said:
"So, you should stay here?"
"Hold on, this is the safest way. It's impossible for Li Bao in the north and Marquis Jingnan in the south not to send troops. We are the Lord with reinforcements."
Zheng Fan nodded and said: "Then let's defend the city. We will distribute all the wealth we can bring. The people in this Wubao will also be distributed to them. I promise them that they will be able to help out this time and in the future." When describing your merits, you should never ask for credit for them."
"So the Lord has already arranged everything?"
"Ok?"
"When my subordinates were down there, they saw the blind man and Si Niang distributing goods. The Lord is far-sighted and his subordinates admire them."
"Would it be too embarrassing to flatter someone like this?" Zheng Fan asked.
Don’t you really know what my level is?
Zheng Fan believes that since he woke up from this world, he has two advantages, one is his increasingly improving acting skills, and the other is good luck.
In other respects, he was beaten in all directions by these demon kings.
Liang Cheng heard this and said:
"Subordinates, please pay attention next time and strive for improvement."
"Well, yes, when it comes to flattering, it's best to moisturize things a little bit and make no noise. Noisy farts don't stink. Silent farts can irritate people."
"..." Liang Cheng.
Liang Cheng was a little stunned. To be honest, he really couldn't stand it if he, a big zombie, was asked to lower his body and talk to Zheng Fan about whether his farts made any noise or stunk.
It’s not that I’m reserved, but it’s not in line with my own outlook on life.
Zheng Fan stopped embarrassing Liang Cheng and looked forward, only to see nearly two hundred cavalrymen galloping towards them.
"Is it the vanguard army?" Zheng Fan asked.
Liang Cheng immediately entered the role, shook his head and said: "The opponent's horse hooves are in disorder, and they are obviously running away with all their strength. This is not a vanguard army, but more like a broken army fleeing, but it still maintains a good organization."
Zheng Fan observed carefully again and nodded. After all, the war horse is not a motorcycle that burns oil. It is a living creature. It is impossible for a knight to use all his horsepower like this unless it is absolutely necessary.
The vanguard army has the advantage and will inevitably prepare for the possible fighting that may occur next, so it will deliberately save horsepower.
Xu Shi saw the Dayan Black Dragon flag flying on the Wubao, and the cavalry came directly to the Wubao.
The leader had dark skin and wore a purple brocade robe. He shouted directly:
"I am the Emperor of Jin, please open the door quickly and let me in!"
This man was shouting very anxiously, because behind him, a large number of cavalry were almost chasing him. To be precise, these soldiers and horses of the Situ family were looking at him, the Emperor of Jin!
On the city wall, Zheng Fan and Liang Cheng looked at each other.
Although the occasion is inappropriate,
But Zheng Fan still couldn't help it:
"hey-hey."
