Chapter 95 Siege

Chapter 95 Siege
Du Bin tore off a strip of cloth from his clothes with a "swish" sound, and wrapped it tightly around the upper end of Shen Yi's broken arm, which was bleeding profusely, to stop the bleeding.

Chen Yao got up from the ground, looked at his good brother's missing arm, his eyes were full of heartache, and he was speechless for a while.

Heads popped up in the river.

Swimming towards the other side against the turbulent river.

They were all children from poor families in Youzhou. There were quite a few rivers in Youzhou, and almost all of them were good swimmers.

The fast-flowing river washed over the soldiers' bodies and pushed them downstream.

Fortunately, there was no waterfall downstream, and many people climbed onto the shore after being washed down more than ten or dozens of feet.

Shen Yi's face was as pale as paper. He looked at the man on the other side, who had a spear on his shoulder with a leisurely look on his face, and who had chopped off his arm.

That person seemed to have noticed his gaze as well.

A smile twitched at the corner of his mouth.

Subsequently.

Swing the spear down from your shoulder.

"Buzz!"

The spear thrust straight forward.

Pointed at Shen Yi and three others from a distance.

Shen Yi looked at the spear pointed at him, clenched his teeth and said nothing.

Du Bin and Chen Yao stared at the arrogant bandit leader on the other side with hatred, as if they were a life-and-death vengeance!
At this time, he and his companions had been completely defeated!
The three generals of Yunzhou and five thousand elite soldiers were unable to stop these two thousand pawns.

Now, these pawns have crossed the Yunmu River, and the three of them cannot go to Muzhou to pursue them without orders.

Even if the three men ignored the order and forced their way across the river, the rebel troops were already on the other side. If they jumped into the river, they would become targets for the enemy and be killed.

If we wait until they all cross the river and leave before chasing them.

The surrounding bridges had already been cut down by them.

Without a wooden bridge, the river was so fast and deep that horses could not cross it.

How could they possibly catch up with the Tianxing Army with their iron feet if they just relied on their feet?
This time, they were defeated!

The soldiers of the Tianxing rebel army had already crossed the river and left.

Shen Yi stared at the departing figure.

Such a strong general entering Muzhou would be like a tiger with wings to that person.

There is no telling how many soldiers of the imperial court would be killed by such powerful generals.

During the Tianxing Rebellion, since the reign of the Tianxing kings, such talented and brilliant people have appeared again.

Imperial court, I wonder when we can put down these rebel troops and bandits?
I don’t know when the world will be at peace again!
That night.

The sky is dotted with stars.

Nearly two thousand soldiers who had entered Muzhou started a bonfire in a forest.

The injured, supported by others, moved closer to the fire, using the flames to drive away the pain.

Almost everyone was wearing only one piece of underwear or was shirtless.

The weather in Muzhou is not too cold, so going shirtless is not a big problem.

However, there is another matter that needs to be resolved urgently.

Before crossing the river, they had run out of food.

Now, even if there were a few who still had a few biscuits in their cotton-padded jacket pockets, they would take off their cotton-padded jackets and throw them out together before jumping into the river.

It can be said that the current brigade of soldiers has not even a single piece of food left.

At this time, Lu Yuan was sitting next to the campfire and roasting two wet pancakes. When they were a little hotter, he stuffed them directly into his mouth.

[Host: Lu Yuan]

[Superpowers: Immortality/Infinite Strength]

【Attributes:
Strength: 720】

720 kilograms of force!

Looking at the panel subtitles rushing down like a waterfall in front of me, now it is 720 kilograms of force.

He eats about twenty times more than an average person in a day.

Even though he had just received two pancakes from all the pawns, and his stomach was full from yesterday's horse meat, he had lost at least half of his energy after a day of fighting.

Maybe I can make it through tomorrow at noon when my super powers take effect.

But without food, what will we do the day after tomorrow?
Their destination is more than a few days away.

During this period, he and his soldiers must eat!

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan said to Li Qi, who was bandaging the wounds of the slightly injured soldiers:

"Which direction is the nearest county town nearby?"

Although Daqian was experiencing a famine, there were still wealthy people living in the county town.

Muzhou is located in the south, with a relatively good climate, and is less affected by the snow disaster. There must be food in the county town.

As long as his army could capture the county town, they would be able to raise resources to solve the urgent problem.

When Li Qi heard Lu Yuan's words, he understood what he meant.

Now their brigade not only needs food, but also some medicinal materials to apply to the injured soldiers.

So, he thought for a while and said:

"In the southwest, there is a county called Shilin, which is much richer than other counties. There should be enough food and medicine in the city. We can go there in about two days."

After saying this, he bowed to Lu Yuan and said:

"After arriving in Shilin County, please allow me to negotiate with the people guarding the county. If we can avoid fighting, it will be a great benefit to our army and Shilin County!"

The Tianxing Army was the number one righteous army in the world. After attacking the county town, they only plundered the rich and killed corrupt officials.

However, when the army entered the city and there was chaos, even with strict orders from the army, it was inevitable that the people in the city would be frightened or even killed by mistake.

They only had two thousand soldiers, so what they asked for was not much.

Therefore, the best strategy would be to use words to persuade the people in the city to open the city gates and hand over food and medicine.

Lu Yuan nodded.

If we can get food without fighting, that would be best.

Otherwise, if he lost some soldiers during the siege, it would be even more embarrassing for him.

However, if the people there do not know what is good for them and refuse to donate food.

Then don't blame him. Kill all the officials, people in charge, and soldiers who fought against him!
The night is getting darker.

The pawns had no food to eat, and the campfire crackled.

At night, I am afraid that many people will sleep less than two hours because of hunger.

“Thump, thump, thump~!”.

Two thousand soldiers, barefoot, trotted out from a forest.

Among the soldiers in the brigade, there were dozens of them, carrying three huge felled logs, and walked to the front impatiently.

Looking at the closed city gate surrounded by city walls not far away in front of them, everyone's eyes almost glowed red.

It was already the third day after crossing the river.

The area of ​​Muzhou was indeed much less affected by the snow disaster than Youzhou.

You can find some food in the mountains and forests.

During these three days, we caught several pheasants and wild snakes in the woods and tree holes.

But with just this little bit of food, how could it possibly feed nearly two thousand soldiers?

At this time, all the soldiers in the brigade were starving.

Looking at the tightly closed Shilin County, they were already impatiently trying to break open the city gate and grab the food inside!
