Wei and Jin Cooks - Chapter 835

Chapter 835 Attack

Everyone found a few wooden shovels in the village. Don’t worry about hoes or anything else. They all took self-defense when they ran.

Only one old man had a chipped iron **** in his home.

Fu Tinghan covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and went digging with the soldiers.

The five old men were willing to help them shovel the soil after Fu Tinghan took out some dry biscuits.

After working for half a day, they shoveled out the ground soil soaked in manure, packed them in sacks and piled them on the car, and were escorted back by soldiers.

The five old men ate all the pancakes they had just got, not giving Fu Tinghan a chance to repent.

Fu Tinghan didn’t regret it. Seeing that they really had nothing to eat, he even gave them half of his dry food.

The old people took it, and after a moment of silence, they said: “Is Lang Jun really Zhao Jiajun?”

Fu Tinghan raised his eyebrows, and they still didn’t believe him after arguing for a long time.

Fu Tinghan thought for a while, and asked Fu An to take out the flag of the Zhao family army that he was carrying with him.

The old people are illiterate, but they have seen the flag of Zhao Jiajun and recognized the pattern on it.

They made gestures on the word “Zhao” and confirmed that it was the pattern they had seen before. Their eyes turned red and they immediately knelt down to Fu Tinghan, “General, I found the two things you mentioned. Can anyone in our village know?” came back?”

Fu Tinghan supported them, pondered for a moment and said: “If they are still alive, they should want to return to their hometown. If no one comes back, after Meng County is recovered, this village will also have new population, and you will have new neighbors .”

With tears in their eyes, the old people nodded and said, “It’s good to have someone, it’s good to have someone.”

Five people, or five old people, are really lonely. They are counting the days every day, and all they breathe is the smell of decay. They don’t know who will leave last. no one knows.

Those who die first may not necessarily be miserable, and those who live long may not necessarily be happy.

All five of them were born and grew up here, and they are most familiar with this area. They tried hard to recall, and they really found a place, “There is a place, far away from here, called Nanshan, whoops, where is the same place?” Our place is different, there are several mountains connected together, and there is the soup spring you mentioned in the mountain, which smells bad, but it is pungent.”

“By the way, the stones there will still explode. As for Laoguan in the next village, the stones that exploded injured his eyes, so he was blind in one eye and died early.”

Fu Tinghan was overjoyed and asked, “How far is Nanshan from here?”

“It takes a whole day and night to walk, and another half day to get there,” the old man said, “I went there when I was young. It’s been almost twenty years, and my legs and feet are not good. I’m afraid it will take two days and nights to get there.”

He said with some pride: “I went to repair the courtyard for the county magistrate, and I got 80 Wen. Your younger siblings were married with 80 Wen, hehehe…”

Fu Tinghan smiled and asked, “Does the old man know the way to go?”

“I recognize it, I recognize it. The mountains around here are small. If you see the direction, go there. It’s easy to find.”

Fu Tinghan glanced at the sky, thinking that Shi Le might come back from Xiayi County’s counterattack at any time, so he couldn’t wait for dawn, so he got up and said, “Let’s go now, we have a car and a horse, and we will hurry all night, and try to find a place before sunset tomorrow.”

As long as there is sulfur, he can make gunpowder by smelting nitrate from the soil just now, and adding some other things.

The five old people did not hesitate, and were willing to follow, even though only one person was needed to guide the way, but the five people were unwilling to separate, and their reasons were very good. They were still thinking, what if there was saltpeter on the way?

When Fu Tinghan came out, he brought three cars. One car went back, and there were two more. He just rode a horse and gave up the car to the old people.

He is not very good at rejecting people.

A group of people lit torches and moved forward, only stopping for a rest in the second half of the night, and started to move quickly when the genius was slightly bright.

Soldiers ran beside and behind the vehicle.

The old man leaned on the window and looked back, and couldn’t help sighing, “This speed is faster than when we used to repair the yard.”

“That is, these are all soldiers, or Zhao Jiajun, can it be the same?”

When Fu Tinghan finally found the place the next day, Zhao Hanzhang’s army finally entered Meng County and seized the next city tower, but the Shi army did not retreat, and they still occupied most of the city, but because night fell, everyone temporarily stopped fighting.

There will be no fighting tonight, but Zhao Hanzhang is even more busy. He attacked today, causing huge casualties. The camp is brightly lit, and there are screaming soldiers everywhere;

After entering the city, all kinds of information began to be collected. What made Zhao Hanzhang most heartbroken was the situation of the private houses that he had just searched and seen.

Meng County is under the rule of Yuzhou. Zhao Hanzhang once set up a school here, as well as Yushantang, Textile Workshop…

Although the loyalty of the common people could not be compared with that of Xiping in Chen County, it was not low, so as soon as she entered the city, she wanted to find someone to understand the situation in the city, but Zhao’s army only found more than 80 people from the occupied area. More than twenty of them came out of the cellar by themselves.

Zhao lowered his head and reported: “They said that when the Shi army stormed Meng County, all the young and strong people in the city went to the towers, and there were heavy casualties.”

“After Meng County was breached, the Shi army massacred more than 6,000 people, and many people escaped through other city gates. Most of the people left in the city were old and weak, women and children,” Zhao Ze said in a low voice. , “Because we have built more than a dozen cities in succession, and many of them opened their gates. Zhixiong was afraid that the people in Meng County would do the same, so…he let the Shi army massacre. Now there are not one out of ten people in the city, except Shi Jun. , there are not many people still alive.”

Zhao Hanzhang clenched his fists and asked, “Where are the teachers and students in the school?”

“Half of them died when Meng County was guarded, and the rest died when Meng County was destroyed.” Zhao Ze paused and said, “A lot of children in Yushantang survived at that time, but they were all filled up. For military rations, I don’t know how many are still alive.”

Zhao Hanzhang’s heart shrank, and she thumped the table hard. She suppressed her anger and asked, “Didn’t I say that if the city cannot be defended, the people, the workers in the workshops, the Yushan Hall and the school should be transferred first? Didn’t Xun Xiu How did you defend the city?”

All the ministries will bow their heads, not daring to respond.

Zhao Hanzhang took a deep breath to suppress his anger, and said with a calm face: “Place the people you found, we are familiar with Meng County, there may be street fighting tomorrow, and the other party may have reinforcements, so we must be careful outside the city, and we must not be surrounded by others. Dumplings.”

She asked: “Any news from Sui County?”

Ji Shuyan is in charge of this, he said: “No.”

Zhao Hanzhang frowned, and said to him: “Find a way to contact them, give them a day, and if they can’t call the county seat of Meng County, they will all go home and farm for me!”

She broke into such a strong city tower in Meng County, so what are they still talking about?

There is only one chapter tonight, I plan to work hard to adjust my schedule, and try to update it early tomorrow
