Chapter 373: Internal Response
There is a curfew in Baokang, but at this time of year, the curfew is useless. A large number of refugees poured into the county town from the outside, and built a simple grass shed on the open space that could be found in the county town, and some simply found a door opening to make do with it. Every time this time came, it was Baokang County The time when the residents in the city were most nervous was also when the county magistrate Wu Ci'an had the most headache.
Near the mountain temple in the north of the city is the area where most of these refugees gather. The densely packed temporary shacks piled up one after another, completely engulfing the small temple. There is an open space here, and now these refugees camp Zase place. Here, almost a thousand refugees gathered.
However, during these ten days or so, among these refugees, there were some unusual characters quietly.
He Lanyan was wearing a pudding-on-pudding dress, her braids were loosened, and her face was smeared black and black. From the outside, she was just a thin and small servant, and her face was unknowingly rubbed. Some medicines are sallow and sallow, with a typical appearance of malnutrition. It was the infantry who was with him. At this moment, the infantry had already taken off the iron leg and was limping into the shack where He Lanyan was from the outside, leaning on a crutch.
They were mixed into this group of refugees in the name of brothers and sisters. There were more than a dozen brothers who came with them. They are all mixed in various places in the city. The infantry went to beg every day on crutches. , but he still won a lot of sympathy in the city, and he often got some leftovers to bring back.
"Let's eat!" Putting the broken bowl in his hand in front of He Lanyan, the infantry said with a smile: "It's a good day, and I got half-cut braised pork."
Looking at the blackened bowl and the messy food, even after persisting for several days, He Lanyan still couldn't help but feel nauseous. She is the little princess of the Helan tribe. Even when the Helan tribe was in the most embarrassing situation, it was never short of her food, never had they seen such a disgusting thing.
But in order not to attract the attention of others, she dare not buy things even if she has money. l let alone before mixing in. This time, the leader Hutou also forcibly took away all the silver from everyone, leaving only a few copper coins on everyone.
"Pretend. Then you have to pretend a little bit." Hutou, who is used to these things, said with a smile, "Even if it's just a little carelessness, it may kill you. Don't think that the enemy is stupid. Such thinking. It serves no purpose other than getting you killed sooner."
Everyone had nothing to say, Hutou used to be a horse thief, and he did a lot of sneaking in among the opponents to step on the spot, so he naturally had the most say.
This is a pain for He Lanyan, she ran out secretly. Without Sun Xiao's consent, after catching up with Gongsun Yi and the infantry halfway, she forcibly joined the team that came to attack Baokang, as her. This time, the leading generals had nothing to do, so they could only bring her here.
The spies sent out earlier quickly brought back news of Baokang. To their surprise, there were still a thousand soldiers from Hejian County stationed in Baokang. This was unexpected. With a thousand county soldiers guarding it, Baokang would not be so easy to fight. Hard attack is obviously impossible.
Hutou decided to bring people in first, and then on the day of the attack, he would cooperate with the inside and outside. As long as the city gate was opened, the thousand or so soldiers from Hejian County would not be opponents. (Pingnan Literature Network)
He Lanyan is also coming.
Hutou kept complaining, but the infantry's persuasion was ineffective. Gongsun Yi wanted to stop him, and he was almost whipped. Under the circumstances, Hutou had no choice but to make an agreement with He Lanyan to enter the city. Everything must be obeyed by him, otherwise , he would rather give up the operation. After He Lanyan made repeated promises, Hutou had no choice but to bring the young lady here.
Confiscated the money from everyone, and then disguised a group of people as refugees. The rest of the people were carefully selected by Tiger Head. Although the young lady is also coming and going in the wind and rain, she is also a pampered person. With her delicate skin and tender flesh, she does not look like a refugee. I can only try to make her look dirty.
The infantry can't do anything, He Lanyan is here, if he doesn't come, if something happens to him, he won't be able to explain it, but fortunately, he is disabled, once he takes off his iron feet and crutches, he is alive and well. Disabled and begging beggars.
He Lanyan frowned for a while, and finally poured out a small half of the bowl from the broken bowl, and picked up the same almost half-flat iron pot from the burning firewood behind her, poured the boiling water into the small bowl, After shopping several times, I pinched my nose and began to eat bit by bit.
Damn it, I never thought that I would have to suffer like this when I came out to be a fine worker. He Lanyan was not without complaints. It was the tiger head who forcibly took away the money on his body, otherwise he would definitely go to a restaurant in the city to have a good meal.
Seeing He Lanyan's appearance, the infantry thought, Hutou's approach was correct, that is to strictly forbid Instructor He Lan to go out, and with her appearance, if she goes out for less than a hundred steps, she can let someone who is interested see the flaw.
Picking up the broken bowl on the ground, the infantry ate it in big mouthfuls. The braised pork was chewing so much that oil came out of his mouth. Seeing the infantry eating deliciously, He Lanyan felt nauseated. "Infantry, you can eat this, it makes me want to throw up!" He Lanyan said.
The infantry laughed, "Coach, you don't know. Before the general became our leader, Lao Cao, Sun Xiao and I lived similarly to these refugees. At that time, General Lu was so focused on If you want to make money, you don't bother to care about us at all, if you have a meal of braised pork, then this day will be happy."
"You mean Sun Xiao, Lao Cao and the others have also eaten these things?"
The infantryman raised his bowl, "It's very good, and we can also get braised pork. The instructor, eat quickly, you have to work tonight, how can you have strength if you don't eat enough?"
"Tiger head is the same. I know I'm going to do Hai'er tonight, but I don't want to get something delicious." He Lanyan pouted.
"Coach, you can blame Brother Hutou by mistake, because he has no money now." The infantryman giggled, "I can't earn a lot of money by carrying big bags every day. With his body, I'm afraid he can't make a lot of money by himself every day." I can't even get my stomach full."
Hearing the infantry's laughter, He Lanyan fell silent. After sneaking into the city with the tiger-headed infantry, she suddenly realized that she had become a burden. With a broken leg, she pretended to be a beggar to beg for food, but she couldn't go out, because both the infantry and the tiger head agreed that she would be exposed if she went out. At first she was not convinced, but after staying in this refugee camp for a few days Bin, she finally realized that she couldn't pretend to be like them.
There are also many women here, but each of them has big hands and big feet. In this cold winter, most of them are so cold that their hands and faces are cracked. Looking at those hands with bloody holes still stirring in the water, She shuddered a little.
"Are you all ready?" He Lanyan changed the subject. Tonight is the time to do it. After tonight, she will no longer have to suffer. After going back, the first thing is to let Sura He and Wula boiled a few large basins of water, and washed them inside and out. Now I'm afraid that my body stinks, but it's just that I've been in this stinky place for a long time, and now I can smell it. No more.
"The defense of the soldiers in the city has been clarified. The thousand Hejian County soldiers are indeed the elite of the Hejian Mansion, and their combat effectiveness is not bad. Judging from their arrangements, they are also extremely sophisticated. In this battle, even if we are surprised when the time comes After opening the city gate, I'm afraid there will be another fierce battle!" The infantry said.
"We don't have many people, can we take down the city gate in one fell swoop?" He Lanyan asked.
"It shouldn't be a big problem!" The infantry nodded. "There are only fifty people guarding the city gate. We should be able to take down the city gate when we attack suddenly. The key is that the outside cooperation must be in place. The news has been sent out. The final The time has also been set, and it will depend on whether Gongsun Yi and Tang Ming Wang Yi can arrive in time."
The two were discussing, when heavy footsteps came from outside, upon hearing the footsteps, the two knew that Tiger Head was coming. Sure enough, the broken curtain of the shack was lifted, and Hutou walked in. Seeing the heavy expression on his face, both of them jumped inexplicably, fearing that something bad would happen.
"What's the matter?" the infantryman asked in a low voice.
"I don't know if that Zheng Shuang heard something? Hejian County soldiers suddenly started to mobilize, and there were two more soldiers at the gates of each city, and the inspections in the city also became stricter." Hutou's The brows were tightly knit together.
The infantry took a breath, "With the addition of two more soldiers, wouldn't there be a hundred and fifty Hejian County soldiers at each city gate? Well, why are we still taking down the city gate?"
"Did the thing we sneaked in be discovered?" He Lanyan became nervous.
"I don't know!" Hutou shook his head, "The news has already been sent out, and the time can no longer be changed. If we can't take down the city gate, when Gongsun Yi, Tang Ming, and Wang Yi come, it will be a hardship." In the siege battle, it is certain that there will be heavy casualties, and it may not be possible to win Baokang. Wu Ci'an, the county magistrate of Baokang, is very popular in the local area. If the Zhuang go to the city together, it will be broken."
Both of them remained silent. After a long while, the infantryman gritted his teeth, "If there is really no other way, then we will set a fire in this refugee camp."
"Set fire, are you crazy?" He Lanyan yelled, "There are so many women, children, old and weak here, if there is a big fire, how can they survive?"
