Chapter 100 The people of Handan are as strong as a wall, Shang Chuqing's judgment! (Subscribe)
"brothers!!!"
"As long as you can make it into the city!! Gold, silver and beauties are waiting for you!!!"
Under the city of Handan, Jiang Lizheng kept roaring with a ferocious face.
To be honest, the fighting power of the defenders exceeded his imagination.
You have to know that he brought a full 50,000 troops this time, and originally thought that it would be easy to attack the city with only 10,000 defenders.
But I didn't expect that the defenders would be so tenacious!
Even when facing soldiers and officers who outnumbered themselves by several times, they did not show any fear. In the face of the soldiers' constant attacks, they actually fought them off without flinching.
At this moment, even Jiang Li was a little angry!
It was not because of Fei Junzheng’s order, but also because of his pride as a general!
This is a several times smaller number of soldiers, and the enemy's army is almost entirely made up of refugees and displaced persons. If he can't even defeat them, how can he face people in the future?
For a moment, Jiang Li's expression became more and more ferocious.
The same thing happened to Zhuo Zongxiang on the top of the city wall.
It's just that his ferocity was due to a long and bloody battle. Although it was a battle to defend the city, the gap in military strength between the rebels was obvious.
Faced with the enemy's attack, he could only lead a group of volunteers to resist personally!
At this time, all the rebels' bodies were covered in blood, but no one retreated.
They have no way out!
No! You can't say that!
They may have a way out. The law does not hold everyone responsible. As long as these people take off their armor and disguise themselves as civilians, the imperial court will not blame all the civilians no matter how much they blame them!
Can!
How could they retreat?
Whether it was Zhuo Zongxiang or other rebel soldiers, which one of them had not been hovering on the line between life and death for many years?
Everything they have now was given to them by Lin Zhongyun!
The days of having enough food to eat! The smiles of my family and children, etc., all started after I followed Lin Zhongyun and Mr. Lin!
How could they retreat so easily?
Death is indeed terrible!
But it also varies from person to person!
For these rebels who have long been numb to matters of life and death, the most terrifying thing is not life and death, but returning to the time when they watched their loved ones die in front of them but were powerless to do anything!
Now everything is just getting better!
Their family has just started to live a good life!
How could they give up everything they have and choose to live in disgrace at this time?
There was no need for Zhuo Zongxiang to shock the army's morale, the heroic resistance of the rebels spoke for itself!
"Fuck the imperial court, you want to ruin our good life? Even if I die, I will make you pay with your lives!!"
"Brothers!! Protect Handan!!! Lord Lin will definitely come to save us!!!"
"Damn it! Lord Lin gave us a way out, but now these beasts want to destroy it all! I'm going to fight you!"
"Beasts! You bunch of beasts!! Don't even think about ruining all this!!!"
"."
Shouts rang out throughout the entire Handan city. The rebel army of only 10,000 people burst out with extremely powerful fighting power at this moment, and struggled to resist the attack of the government soldiers!
They have no way out!
Life and death are indeed just a thought away!
But since we are human beings, how can we live in disgrace forever? ?
Inside the city, many men had already reached the top of the city wall. Looking at the rebels who were struggling to resist at the city gate and listening to their shouts, their eyes couldn't help but turn red at this moment.
Among them were local residents of Handan City, as well as refugees who had fled here from various places because of Lin Zhongyun!
But without exception.
They are all people who have received favors from Lin Zhongyun!
Looking at what was happening before their eyes, they were also deeply moved.
Were they doing well before?
Not to mention the refugees wandering around, even the people living in Handan City cannot guarantee this.
Everyone is equal in the face of natural disasters.
Although Handan was not greatly affected, how could it be completely unaffected as it is located in Cangzhou?
Did the days when these common people had to obey the wishes of the powerful families and be oppressed by the powerful families’ courts really feel easy?
Everyone is like this!
After experiencing everything better, you will never want to go back to the past suffering!
So do they!
boom! ! !
boom! ! !
boom! ! !
Listening to the loud noises and watching the city gate becoming increasingly loose.
Finally, just a moment later.
Among this group of men, someone suddenly mustered up the courage and walked forward!
next moment--
The men immediately walked towards the front of the city!
Everyone has already made a decision in their hearts!
They couldn't bear it either!
Everything in Cangzhou is developing steadily now, and their good days are about to come. Let them go back to the past!
How can they bear it???
"Damn it!! You won't give us a way out, right?! I'm going to fight you!"
"Fellow villagers! Fight them! We must not let these beasts enter Handan City!"
"My son has only smiled a little since he was born, and you beasts want to take that away?"
"."
Roars rang out one after another at this moment!
Everyone was completely angry!
If we say that the most crucial thing for Lin Zhongyun before was that he could survive in this world of great conflict only with the support of the rebel army!
But now, he represents the people's will in Cangzhou!
Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it!
The people's support that Lin Zhongyun has been trying to win over since the very beginning has been perfectly demonstrated at this moment!
The people don't want Lin Zhongyun to fall!!!
As this group of men joined the battlefield, the entire Handan city was filled with the sound of shouting and killing. Even the fifty-year-old men and young children could not help but shout!
The old man's thoughts are the most real.
Live out your old age in peace and let your descendants live well and pass on the legacy to future generations.
Children have the most innocent thoughts.
They knew that it was Lin Zhongyun who ensured that they had enough food to eat and no longer had to go hungry every day like before!
This is the will of the people!
The entire Handan city has been put into action.
After the big families in the city communicated with each other, it seemed that in order to show their loyalty to Lin Zhongyun and avoid being purged in the future, they demoted their servants from the mansion and sent them out as well.
Suddenly, the entire Handan City defenders gradually blocked the attack of the officers and soldiers.
At the same time, Yangzhou.
Yan County.
"Sir, I just received news that Lin Zhongyun has already conquered Jiyang, and the governor of Yangzhou has also sent people to attack Cangzhou."
Chu Yun hurried in from outside, looked at Shang Chuqing excitedly and said: "There are not many Cangzhou defenders now, I'm afraid we can directly destroy Lin Zhongyun this time!!"
Chu Yun's expression was extremely excited.
Upon hearing this, Shang Chuqing immediately frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
But the next moment, he just shook his head.
As a disciple who had followed Shang Chuqing for several years, Chu Yun immediately realized something, and the smile on his face suddenly froze: "Sir, what are you doing..."
"I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat the bandit Lin in this battle." Shang Chuqing sighed and said, "This boy is extremely smart. He has made full use of the shortcomings of the current court and his reputation is overwhelming."
"The millions of people who fled to Cangzhou will never let the imperial court destroy Cangzhou."
"unless--"
At this point, his tone paused slightly: "Then Lin Zhongyun will die first."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yun's face immediately showed a look of confusion.
Obviously, at his age, he still couldn't fully understand what Shang Chuqing meant. After all, for him, Cangzhou was indeed full of loopholes. Without Lin Zhongyun's elite troops, the imperial army would definitely break through Cangzhou.
But as Shang Chuqing's disciple, Chu Yun also understood how accurate Shang Chuqing's judgment was, so he fell into deep thought for a moment.
Shang Chuqing saw Chu Yun's thoughts, and after a moment of silence, seeing that the latter still had no intention of enlightenment, he immediately opened his mouth and said, "Yun'er."
"Let me ask you, why was your master able to shock the rebels in Yuzhou?"
Hearing this, Chu Yun did not hesitate at all and said without hesitation: "Because you are the military god of Daqian, those rebels are afraid of your power."
"Then why are the people of Yuzhou willing to follow me?" Shang Chuqing looked at him calmly and asked again.
Hearing this, Chu Yun revealed a look of realization, but he was still a little unsure, so he could only tentatively say, "It's because you can let them live in peace."
"That's right." Shang Chuqing nodded calmly: "What about Cangzhou today?"
Shang Chuqing didn't say anything else because Chu Yun's face already showed a look of enlightenment.
The current situation in Cangzhou is no secret.
Lin Zhongyun can send people to Yuzhou to inquire about the news, and the imperial court can also go to Cangzhou to inquire about the news!
Although Shang Chuqing does not hold any official position now.
But even so, with his rising reputation, how could he not know all the news? How could Chu Yun not know?
For a moment, the previous excitement on Chu Yun's face disappeared.
He sighed deeply and said, "I can't believe that Lin Zhongyun, at such a young age, would have such a mind."
Lin Zhongyun’s age is no secret. He is the same age as Chu Yun and will both reach adulthood next year.
Thinking about the gap between himself and him, Chu Yun couldn't help but feel lonely.
He has followed Shang Chuqing since he was a child.
But ask yourself, if it were him, would he be able to achieve the power that Lin Zhongyun has now? Obviously not!
However, Lin Zhongyun was born into a refugee family, the gap between them is obvious!
"Yun'er."
Shang Chuqing also had some regrets.
Even he had to admire Lin Zhongyun's extraordinary talent.
But seeing the dejected look on his disciple's face, he couldn't help but comfort him, "If I can't defeat Lin Zhongyun in my lifetime."
"This boy will be your greatest rival."
"You must remember this."
Hearing this, Chu Yun's pupils suddenly trembled, and he quickly said: "Sir, how could you not be able to defeat that bandit Lin?"
Shang Chuqing was indeed not young anymore, and because he had been on the battlefield for many years, even though he had won every time and never lost, it was inevitable that he would be injured and sick.
In addition, even though he was in the opposition over the years, he was still concerned about the court. His health was no longer as good as before, and Chu Yun didn't know how to comfort him.
"Ha~"
Shang Chuqing smiled faintly: "I hope so!"
Yuzhou, Jiyang City.
"Report!!"
"Your Majesty!!"
"Scouts report that Yangzhou Governor Fei Junzheng has suddenly mobilized troops and is heading for Handan City!!"
Hearing the news brought back by the spy, Lin Zhongyun's expression suddenly changed.
"He went to Handan City?"
Lin Zhongyun stood up from the chair almost instantly, and his whole aura suddenly became fierce at this moment!
Failed!
He hadn't expected this at all!
After determining that the next target of the rebel army was Yuzhou, a wealthy prefecture, Lin Zhongyun paid much less attention to Yangzhou.
Although spies were also sent to Yangzhou, the number was much smaller than that of Yuzhou.
And the most important thing is that there are also rebels in Yangzhou. Lin Zhongyun never expected that the troops of Yangzhou would attack Cangzhou at this time instead of going far away! !
"Why are you reporting this now?" Lin Zhongyun asked directly with an extremely serious expression.
"My lord." The spy knelt on the ground and said with his head down, "Lord Fei is ordering all cities in Yangzhou to close their gates and not let anyone leave the city."
"It was not until the army set out that it was resolved."
"We can't even leave the city, please punish us, lord!!"
Lin Zhongyun didn't need to say much, the spy himself knew the seriousness of the matter and also felt a little guilty.
Hearing this, Lin Zhongyun's expression also sank at this moment. After a moment of silence, he waved his hand and said, "Go down and explore again!"
"It's not your fault!"
"Thank you, my lord!" The spy bowed to Lin Zhongyun earnestly, then slowly retreated.
The atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely depressing, so the expression of the rebel leader was also a little ugly at this moment.
After the spies left.
Li Zhongwu immediately stepped forward, bowed to Lin Zhongyun and said, "My lord! I am willing to lead the army back to help Handan!!"
"My Lord! I can do the same!!"
A number of rebel generals asked for battle one after another.
Lin Zhongyun doesn't need to say much, the importance of Handan City to the entire rebel army is self-evident!
Cangzhou is the base of the rebel army!
And Handan is the gateway to Cangzhou!
If Cangzhou is lost, the rebel army will be completely separated from Cangzhou, and will most likely face a situation of being attacked from both sides!
How could they not panic?
But Lin Zhongyun was extremely calm at this time.
With the blessing of the clear thinking skill, Lin Zhongyun's thoughts are extremely clear.
He knew very well that now that the news had been delivered to Jiyang City, the enemy had obviously already arrived in Cangzhou and had even begun to attack the city!
Cangzhou only has 10,000 troops!
No matter how solid the defenses of Handan City are, they will not be able to hold out for too long!
Sending these people back to help will not save Handan at all!
The only possibility is that he will come back to help in person!
Because Lin Zhongyun can use a skill! That is forced march!
At this moment, Lin Zhongyun's thoughts were extremely clear, and he immediately figured out everything.
Looking at the generals in front of him, he immediately shook his head: "You guys go and prepare first! I will personally come back to help in this battle!"
Lin Zhongyun's expression was extremely determined, and he did not give the generals any chance at all!
Hearing this, the generals did not dare to say anything more and could only nod their heads, bowed to Lin Zhongyun and said in unison: "Yes!"
Then they walked out one by one.
The matter of returning for assistance is not just talk. Lin Zhongyun naturally cannot give up Jiyang, the important town he has just captured, so he has a lot to consider.
After the soldiers left, Lin Zhongyun did not hesitate at all and immediately called out the system in his mind.
Directly upload the message just received! .
Ps: I have something to do today, so I can only update once. I will find a chance to make up for it. Please forgive me, brothers!
