Chapter 93: Fufeng Calamity
Huo Zhu led his subordinates to stand on the tower of the west city. Beside him was a smiling Latobe. Of course Latobe was happy. Fufeng City, which had been thinking about it and was unable to enter, opened the door in front of him. When you come down, it's what you want.
"Lord Huo is really trustworthy! His actions are decisive!" La Trobe generously sent his compliments to this guy who helped him a lot. Nafu has already rushed into the west city with his cavalry, and the west city guards are either down. They are on the city wall, or they are scattered and fleeing in all directions, and young men running around can be seen all over the street.
"I hope Patriarch La Trobe can bring the heads of Lu Hong and Wu Kai in front of me when he leaves the city!" Huo Zhu said with a smile. He didn't take La Trobe very seriously. Those big figures in Donghu, the current Latrobe can only be regarded as a knife in his hand at best.
"Master Huo, can you tell me where they are now?" Now that they have entered the city, taking the heads of these people is already an easy task for Latobe.
"At this time they should be in the county government office in Dongcheng!" Huo Zhu pointed his finger to the east.
"Okay, I will live up to Mr. Huo's trust, my lord, I will take my leave now!" La Trobe smiled and bowed to Huo Zhu, he couldn't wait to reap the fruits himself.
"Patriarch, please!" Huo Zhu waved his hand and said.
Iron hooves broke through the tranquility of the night, and Fufeng City, which had always been peaceful, fell into dire straits in an instant. Houses were broken into, and countless people were driven to the streets, watching helplessly as their belongings were destroyed like wolves. The tiger-like Donghu people snatched it away, and with a little resistance, the scimitar roared down immediately, and the blood splashed up immediately stained the bluestone.
Standing on the city wall of the west city, one can see the chaotic and bloody west city at a glance. Huo Tianliang was also dressed up, standing behind Huo Zhu, watching a person's head flying up, and there were screams, mixed with The woman's screams and the children's cries made her face look a little ugly. "Father, is it really okay to do this? Those savages are really not human, even the children will not be spared."
Huo Zhu turned his head and looked at his precious son with a livid face, "Shut up, you are usually vicious like a character, did you get scared by that bastard Gao Yuan? It's really useless, you want to do big things , you have to be as hard as iron, a few people dead are nothing, as long as you don’t miss the important event of the prime minister, have you never heard of the emperor’s anger, bloodshed? Only a few people died, and your heart softened, how could I I can count on you to make a career in the future!"
Huo Tianliang was scolded angrily, and immediately closed his mouth.
It was true that Lu Hong and Wu Kai were in the county mansion. When the news came that Xicheng City was broken, the two of them were stunned. Going out the door, the other side of the west city is already in chaos, people are shouting and horses are neighing, and the flames are soaring into the sky.
"Naha, that bastard, I'm going to skin him!" Lu Hong hissed.
As the voice fell, Naha had already rushed in, followed by dozens of soldiers, "County officer, the west city has been broken, and the Eastern Hu cavalry has already entered the city, and the other gates must not be able to hold, I gather together All my troops are here to protect the two adults from Fufeng City."
When Lu Hong saw Naha, he suddenly became angry, and the evil turned to his guts. He rushed forward and grabbed Naha, and his face was pierced, "Naha, thanks to my trust in you, what happened to Xicheng?" Lost it?"
Naha was slapped twice, and he couldn't help being stunned. Wu Hong was his old boss, and he had been beaten by him a lot before. Then he fell, and there was no sign beforehand. It must have been a big concubine, and Naha felt wronged, with five fingerprints on each face, and shouted: "County, I don't know, it's too late to talk about it now." Now, let’s go out of the city and escape for our lives!”
"Run away from your mother and go out of the city. With your little manpower, they only need a few dozen riders, and they can chop up all our melons and vegetables. The county government has a high wall and an archery tower. You immediately Gather me people and defend on the spot." Lu Hong also calmed down at this time, although Fufeng City was broken, the county government was built solidly, and there were a few archery towers on the four corners, so as long as there are enough people, we can still hold on of.
"Yes, county lieutenant!" Naha also lost his mind at this time, upon hearing Lu Hong's order, he immediately turned around and rushed out the door.
"You people, go to the arsenal right away, there are still two bed crossbows, move them out, move them out!" Lu Hong shouted, waving his hands and jumping his feet.
The compound of the county mansion was busy immediately, not only the soldiers brought back by Naha, but also the officials who stayed in the county mansion. When they were busy, Zheng Xiaoyang rushed in with his hundred people , Behind him, there were one or two hundred young and strong people. Seeing these people, Lu Hong finally felt a little relieved. Only then did he think of his family. "Xiaoyang, Xiaoyang, send someone immediately Go, bring your wife to the county government." He ordered again and again, "Also, all the family members of County Magistrate Wu will be brought to the county government!" Looking at the fire in the west city, Lu Hong prayed in his heart, hoping that time You still have time.
"Yes, county lieutenant!" Zheng Xiaoyang's face was pale. How the Donghu cavalry entered the city is still unclear to him now, but what is certain is that once the Donghu cavalry enters the city, his side will basically be killed. status.
"By the way, there are also Ye Shi, Ye Jing'er's family, and they are all here too!" Seeing Zheng Xiaoyang preparing to go out, Lu Hong thought of Gao Yuan's fiancée's family again.
Zheng Xiaoyang rushed out, and Lu Hong recruited a few of his own soldiers, "You guys, go to the streets immediately, recruit as many young and strong as possible, and then block the streets at both ends of the county government with things, no matter you What to use, block it for me."
Lu Hong gave orders one after another, but Wu Kai fell down on the steps, his hands trembling unceasingly, "Old Lu, this time is over, my winery, my thousands of jars of wine , this time we can't save them all, by the way, those master masters are all going to be ruined, what should we do, old road, what should we do?"
Wu Kai was no more from the army than Lu Hong, and he had encountered situations more hopeless than the one before him. Seeing the panicked Wu Kai, Lu Hong said in a deep voice: "Old Wu, hold your breath, you are the head of a county, you must Don’t panic, the soldiers and young adults are all looking at you, cheer up, the winery is gone, it can be built again, the wine is gone, it can be brewed again, the master is gone, isn’t Gao Yuan still there? It doesn’t matter, As long as the two of us are alive, we can do it all over again."
"By the way, Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan, Lao Lu, quickly report to Gao Yuan and ask him to come back and save us!"
"It's too late!" Lu Hong shook his head and sighed: "At this time, he may have broken through the old camp of the Hutu tribe. He is too far away from us, and he can't come back anyway. Now, we have to rely on ourselves. Wu, don't panic, there is a block of streets at both ends of the county government, with archers on the roof, and the county government is in a compound with high walls, these Donghu people may not be able to do anything to us. Hold on, I believe that when Lato When Bei gets the news that the old battalion has been destroyed, he will definitely not have the intention to attack us, and they will retreat, but we must persist until this moment. Get up, old Wu!"
After hearing Lu Hong's words, Wu Kai's pale face finally had a tinge of blood, and stood up with force, Lu Hong handed him a knife, "Take it, it's good to be strong and courageous. "
The two men held their knives and stood on the steps of the county mansion. Those busy soldiers and young men felt relieved when they saw the two adults standing upright.
As time went by, the West City, North City, and South City burst into flames one after another, and more people fled to the East City. Under the command of Lu Hong, the streets at both ends of the county government were quickly blocked with sandbags and various sundries. Strictly speaking, on the roof, a few archers climbed up, and the only two bed crossbows were carried up to the sentry tower, and three rounds of crossbow arrows at a time were twisted to the bowstring, aiming at the road outside the barricade .
Zheng Xiaoyang brought his people back an hour later, and Lu Hong's wife and Wu Kai's family came back with him, "My lord, I went to Gao Bing Cao's house, and I couldn't find anyone in his family." , Ye Shi, and Ye Jing'er siblings have not been found, I wonder if they panicked and left the house with the fleeing crowd!"
"This is bad!" Lu Hong stumbled. He knew that Gao Yuan loved Ye Jing'er. If something happened to Ye Jinger, how would Gao Yuan explain to him when he came back? But at this moment, he It also doesn't matter.
"Xiaoyang, you and Naha are guarding a barricade. Even if everyone dies, you have to stand up to me. I will command in the middle and tell the brothers that Gao Yuan will come back to help us soon, so everyone must stand up." " Lu Hong shouted loudly.
"Understood, county lieutenant!"
I have to say that Lu Hong's luck was good. After the Donghu cavalry entered the city, they didn't go straight to the county government in Dongcheng at the first time, but dispersed, rushed into the homes of the people and looted them. The people in the East are much richer, and these Dong Hu soldiers were pleasantly surprised to find that they had made a fortune, and they plundered crazily. Every time their soldiers touched the East City, they would encounter organized resistance. When La Trobe wanted to organize a manpower to attack the East City, he suddenly found that his soldiers had been scattered, and he couldn't organize enough manpower for a while.
But La Trobe was not in a hurry, there were only a few soldiers in the city, it would be better if it was later, he just gave an order to gather the soldiers, and then waited calmly. The Hutu Department is too poor now, especially the soldiers, Almost nothing, no wonder they are hard to restrain after seeing so many good things.
Latobe's slow movement gave Lu Hong precious time to set up defenses. This was also thanks to Gao Yuan's meticulous training after enlisting in the army, making the first team a powerful force. There has also been a radical change. In the past, the two armies who could not get paid had long since fled, so how could they be willing to work for Lu Hong again.
Latobe waited until dawn before Nafu gathered the Donghu cavalry who were attacking in all directions. Latobe almost turned his nose when he saw his soldiers. Everyone's horses were carrying large and small packages. The child is already overwhelmed, and what is even more annoying is that some soldiers' horses still have tied women lying horizontally.
Such an army can still fight? La Trobe's complexion suddenly darkened.
