Chapter 131: Shameless
Qingshan Town, a large town in the eastern part of Tongshan County, is adjacent to Tongxian on the east side. It is named after its back to Daqingshan. It is considered a rather poor town in Tongshan County. To put it bluntly, it is a relatively large village.
There is no bluestone paving in the town streets. When it rains, the bumpy earth road will become riddled with holes, as if there are countless water basins. Fortunately, the garrison in the town is quite able to comfort itself, because this road saves the digging of a horse pit.
In the past, except for the frequent visits of the salt owls, there are almost few business travelers passing by here. After all, it is just a few dozen miles away. There is also a flatter official road along the Huai River line. No one will come to this remote place where the specialty salt owls and salt robbers are fine.
However, in December, the north wind blew, which brought a hint of coldness to the Daqing Mountains, but the quiet Daqing Town, which was rare and lively in the past, was rare.
There are only 1,500 households in Daqing Town. As the saying goes, there are many unruly people in poor mountains and rivers. In other words, this unruly people are fierce and hard to tame, and they are brave and fierce. It can be said that Daqing Town has left the impression of poverty and evil over the years. The dead salt dealers, salt owls, and salt thieves who walked out from here are also on the Huai River.
Since Zhang Fei became a county magistrate in Tongshan County, Daqing Town has become the largest soldier under Zhang Fei's command. Especially among the three thousand Tongshan soldiers that Zhang Fei first raised, there were 1,000 bins from this Daqing Town. Sima Yuan was Zhang Fei's military advisor. When he first recruited the salt owls here, he still had the idea of Qingshang. Therefore, when Sima Yuan was in the arrangement, he sent another battalion of troops to strengthen the guards here.
At the same time, the townspeople were mobilized to enter the mountainous area from Daqing Mountain. Because almost every family in Daqing Town had people joining the army in Zhang Fei's army, and this became almost the largest source of income in Daqing Town, so they agreed to the persuasion of the tribe sent by Sima Yuan. The poverty of Daqing Town cannot be improved in two or three years. Anyway, there was not much wealth, and they went up the mountain one after another with the only little family income.
On this side, thousands of townsmen retreated to Daqingshan. However, in the town, the defenders helped transport all the only grain into the mountain, and sent a large number of scouts to Tongxian in the east. However, it didn't take them long to wait. The Green Armored Army in Tongxian came out in full swing, and together with the security guards in another county, a total of more than 7,000 troops and horses rushed towards Qingshan Town.
Although Qingshan Town was not known in the past and didn't even want to go to a mouse, at this moment, Qingshan Town has become a shield on the east side of Tongshan and a bridgehead for the front line. If you don't take this place and want to capture Jishui Town, which was taken away by Zhang Fei in the southwest, you have to face Qingshan's knife behind it.
Green mountains are not a dish, and collecting water is the most desired goal of this army. According to the agreement, the Ji'an army in the west captured Pangu Town, while the Green Armor army and the Security Army in the east captured Jishui Town. Once these two towns were taken down, it would be equivalent to two large tongs, making Tongshan County become inland again. As for the newly formed ferry terminal between the two places, it is naturally difficult to protect.
It can be said that this time, the Tianlong Army on the north bank of the Huai River had a lot of plans and wanted to eat more than 10,000 Chu troops on the north bank in one bite.
"We have to attack this Po Qingshan? There are only a thousand people guarding it here. Thousands of troops will go directly to attack Jishui. They really dare to come and die. Brother Guishan, you are thinking too much!"
Wang An, who was riding on the back of a wind horse, was reluctant to make a detour to the Qingshan Mountain, but the boss was unwilling to say that the road here was difficult to walk, and there was no trace of oil or water to take the Qingshan Mountain. There was no temptation to Jishui Town.
Pang Guishan turned his head and looked at Wang An, who was a little fat. This guy not only had a lot of flesh on his body, but he couldn't even grow flesh in his mind. However, Pang Guishan just thought about it in his heart, but said, "This Qingshan Town is just above Jishui Town. It's only 40 miles away, and you can run in half a day. Moreover, this Qingshan Town has always been a tough folk, and the Black Hell King is mostly Qingshan soldiers. They don't care about your number of soldiers. If you really get crazy, you might even suddenly take a knife from behind. If you don't take this place, how can we fight the water with peace of mind!"
Pang Guishan's words made Wang An unquestionable, but it was true that the people of Qingshan had more bandits. Perhaps the troublemakers here would really go crazy. Forget it, they were almost here, so why are they still pulling the other side: "Hmph, you don't need Brother Guishan to do it later. Let you see my means, keep this Qingshan Town in less than two quarters of an hour!"
Pang Guishan looked at Wang An and patted his chest. He didn't know what this man planned. He just wanted to use the two small catapults that came with the army. But speaking of this thing, this thing is indeed a powerful weapon. For big cities like Jiyang City, two small catapults are just a drop in the bucket. However, it is used to deal with villages and towns that are not under heavy troops in the city. This thing is a big killing weapon.
"Then it will be a blessing for Brother Wang!" Pang Guishan didn't think much energy was spent in Qingshan Town. The reason he wanted to take it down was because Qingshan Town was still in the northeast of Jishui Town. If he went directly to get Jishui, Qingshan Town could cut off their retreat by going south and cut off supplies, so he would work hard to get around.
"Sir, the people in the town have almost moved away. Now there are more than a hundred young and strong people left. They say they want to join us and fight against the invading enemy together!"
"Well, the people in Qingshan Town are all good at shooting and hunting. The two Qingshan camps under General Zhang are the most elite. The extra bows and arrows in our camp can be distributed to them, so that they can form a team and choose one of them to come out!"
"Yes! Sir!"
"Report, we found a brigade of soldiers from Tong County to the east and were rushing towards us. It seemed that there were thousands of people, and they were so powerful that they were four or five miles long!"
"We came so quickly. Fortunately, we have few people and can move. Otherwise, we will suffer a great loss. We will be ordered to prepare for the battle. In addition, we will ask the Xia Yingwei to come over. I want to discuss with him how to deal with this invading army!"
More than 7,000 troops were lined up in a row, and hundreds of flags were clamoring in the whistling north wind. Qingshan Town suddenly seemed small in front of this army.
"Damn it, it's a catapult cart, send orders, and prepare to withdraw!" He originally planned to give the invading enemy a head-on attack in the town, but when he saw the stopping army on the opposite side from the telescope, he suddenly pushed out two giants. Zheng Shan, the guard camp guard, was completely speechless. He was so angry that he used siege weapons to deal with a town that didn't even have a city wall.
It's so shameless, but no matter how much he scolds, his reaction is not slow. Qingshan Town has few stone houses, most of which are wooden shingle houses, and they can't withstand the attack of this powerful weapon in the siege. Staying in Qingshan Town is purely a seeking death.
Zheng Shan ordered a retreat. After only half of the troops passed the town, dozens of black shadows came from the sky, passing through a beautiful parabola and landed in the town. A clay pot hit the house directly and exploded. The flames on the clay pot touched the dispersed tincture oil and immediately ignited a rolling flame, which instantly enveloped a roof of a house.
"Damn!" Zheng Shan ran and cursed. This was not only shameless, but extremely shameless. Not only did he use a catapult car, but he even used expensive hot turmeric oil. In just one round of attack, half of the town fell into a sea of fire.
The north wind blew, and the flames were burning in the wind. It was dry in winter, and most of the houses were made of wood, and some were even thatched adobe houses. This thing was simply a big haystack. As soon as it hit, it suddenly burst into flames. Fortunately, he saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately ordered to retreat. If he really stayed here, many people would die.
Two catapults, three-wheeled shooting, used almost fifty tinsel tanks, and directly destroyed Qingshan Town. Pang Guishan was also in a serious mood. He didn't expect that Fatty Wang would directly use the fierce tincture oil to attack Qingshan Town. This is a rare family! It is said that Fatty Wang is so mean in business, but he didn't expect that he would kill people and would not be ruthless!
"Reported, a large number of people in Qingshan Town ran west!"
"Brother Pang, I drove the person out. Will you let me see the majesty of your three hundred cavalry next?"
After Wang An said this, Pang Qingshan came to his senses, waved his hand and said, "Caval, follow me!"
It is not easy to form a cavalry in a mountainous and river-rich place in Huai River. It is the Pang family that carries out the shipping line. It not only takes the front line of Huai River, but also sometimes takes the sea route. It is also related to the north. There are only three hundred grassland horses, but they can't buy them even if they have money.
Pang Qingshan's cavalry ran fast, but after all, they had to bypass Qingshan Town, which was burning with a raging fire. In this way, Zheng Shan's defenders saw that the opportunity was not good and immediately fled. When Pang Qingshan caught up, hundreds of people from Zheng Shan's troops had entered the forest at the foot of Daqingshan. Seeing the crowds running into the forest, Pang Qingshan did not dare to chase them.
And he was also full of doubts. Why didn’t there even be an old, weak, and a child in Qingshan Town? Even if they were so sharp, they wouldn’t even live.
"Second sister, you will escort this group of people to the south first. Jishui Town is safe for the time being. I have sent a message to General Zhang Liao on the south bank. Now, there are many ships sent to the riverside ferry terminal. It's better to hurry up and leave as soon as possible!"
"What's the news about your brother-in-law?" Sima Xiaoxiao asked with a little assured Zhang Fei.
"Second sister, please rest assured. My brother-in-law has taken back Pangu Town and even entered Linshui County. Now it is estimated that it is almost over to Linshui County. I have someone urged my brother-in-law to come back. Don't worry, there is no one in Huaibei area who can defeat my brother-in-law!"
"Okay, then I'll leave first. Please advise your brother-in-law more. He doesn't know what extraordinary things he does when he is so angry. It's easy to avoid hidden arrows on open guns. Although your brother-in-law is strong, he is afraid that the enemy will use evil moves. You have to pay more attention!"
"Don't worry, second sister, I, Sima's little think tank, are not in vain. I have to leave too. Green forest in the east, more than 7,000 troops from the security guards have gathered in Tongxian County. I guess I will take action in the next two days. I will stop them as much as possible!"
Huai River, a cargo ship carrying salt, possessed by light armor, a young man in green clothes stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the already messy town dock not far away, there were a few young men in their early twenties behind him, but he was a little excited, saying, "Senior brother, we really want to go to the battlefield with real swords and guns this time!"
