Longevity: Beginning from Becoming a Clan Leader

Bloodbath in Quan County.

Ping County was attacked.

Langtoushan responded to the Bailing Rebellion.

Three pieces of key information extracted hit Chen Nuo hard on the head.

The palms clenched and then relaxed.

Chen Nuo quickly calmed down.

Panic will not solve the problem, it will only create it.

"Yongzi, how many people are there in Langtou Mountain? Did the people sent by the Ning family tell them?"

"I told you, but I only gave a rough outline..."

Before he finished speaking, a man in a blue gown ran over.

"Brother Nuo, this is the person sent by the Ning family."

The visitor bowed down as soon as he saw Chen Nuo.

"Jiu Gujie, please be extremely careful. Thousands of Langtou Mountain bandits came down the mountain, and they were accompanied by other Yandang Mountain bandits. They broke into Quan County last night and killed thousands of people. They were all wealthy families. They had thousands of people. The men are all young and strong, and there are also bandits from other mountains..."

"stop!"

Chen Nuo stopped drinking.

"Where are they now?"

"My Ning family's general Bai Sheisheng found out that in the early morning, they had gathered to attack Ping County. The city gate of Ping County had been broken down at that time. The most important thing is that after they attacked Quan County, they took many refugees hostage. , the number of people has increased, at least, there must be at least five or six thousand people, or even tens of thousands! "

We were attacking Pingxian County in the early morning. The county's military preparedness was depleted and even the city gates were broken. It was definitely over. So what's next?

Which goal?

Yang County?

The weakest ones there were mostly prostitutes and gamblers, but next to them was... Captain Xuanshui!

Captain Xuanshui with a command of three thousand soldiers.

So, what else could it be?

Chen Nuo's face turned ugly.

After careful consideration, I found that the enemy's march route to attack An County would not pass through Chenjiazhuang.

Among the four counties, An County is located in the south, while Chenjiazhuang Qinghe Town and others are located in the south of An County, just behind An County.

"Master Ninth! Come into the city and hide! You can still fight against the enemy by relying on the city wall!"

"Let me ask you, what were the county lieutenant and county magistrate doing when you came out?"

As a messenger sent by the Ning family, this man was still very smart and quickly replied, "The county captain has already dispatched county soldiers. The county magistrate has also dispatched government officials and police officers to guard the city. I, the Ning family, have also dispatched The servants went up, as well as the big families in the city, and the county magistrate also issued a notice. Now Anxian County should be able to find more than two thousand to three thousand useful people, plus the people in the city..." (Hiding the population is a traditional skill of the big families. )

The more than two thousand useful manpower refers to the direct lineage strength of the big families, who are truly capable of fighting.

According to normal siege rules, if you want to capture a city, you must have at least five times the strength of the defenders.

Therefore, An County should be able to hold on.

The premise is that they don't make trouble and don't hide it!

So, the question now is, should I withdraw?

no.

Can't withdraw.

That's too late.

After looking at the sun that had started to go down, Chen Nuo made this judgment.

It takes time to go to the county seat. Even if you abandon your luggage, it will naturally slow down when there are more people.

According to the quick-attack method of the Langtou Mountain bandits, they are probably almost reaching An County now.

Now go over and give someone a head?

If Quan County and Heping County were to wear down their strength, they might be able to stop and recuperate temporarily. But listening to the messenger, it was quite easy to conquer these two counties, and Ping County only had a slight stalemate for an hour or two. I'm afraid it won't consume much...

And after it is breached, the refugees in Ping County may also be hijacked.

The strength of these bandits is probably more than 10,000...

The specific number, Chen Nuoyue said, should be around 15,000, but that's just an estimate.

This kind of number, plus the real elite of the bandits...

"If we don't leave, we won't be able to go to An County. There is a high chance that we will run into these bandits in Yandang Mountain."

Chen Nuo said.

"Ah? No, Jiu Guye, you absolutely must not!"

"The county town has high walls and thick walls, which can stop those bandits. How can these towns and villages stop them?"

Chen Nuo shook his head.

"It's not that I don't want to go, it's that I can't go!"

"Stop talking nonsense, Chen Yong!"

"exist!"

"Send the order, the farming group and the grain tax team will assemble, get weapons and equipment, and call me all the people from the seven major households."

"Also, arrange a shelter for the young members of our clan...my uncles over at Chenjiazhuang..."

"yes!"

Chen Yong left in a big stride.

For him, Brother Nuo is the backbone. If Brother Nuo gives the order, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"This, this, this..." The messenger was completely stunned.

"Miss Ninth?"

Ning Hongye shook her head and stood beside Chen Nuo silently.

Chen Nuo ignored the messenger.

I kept thinking about what to do next.

There is no way to judge whether An County can hold it or not, so we have to make two preparations.

One of them can escape and take advantage of the current time to let the old, weak, women and children enter the cellar shelter arranged by Chenjiazhuang during this period, or go up to Coiling Snake Mountain.

The two powers harm each other, whichever is less. The threat from Panshe Mountain is obviously less than that from the Yandang Mountain bandits.

When the two attack, when the bandits are entangled with Anxian, if they lead the troops to attack from the flank, they may be able to win.

Act according to the opportunity, if you are not sure, then retreat, never take risks!

soon.

People from the seven major households came first.

Chen Nuo was not polite to them. He told the truth and the messenger was by his side. They had to believe it even if they didn't believe it.

Straightforwardly, "Now, hand over all your servants to me."

As expected, several wealthy families showed signs of resistance.

"When the nest is overturned, no egg is left unbroken!"

After a slight hesitation, four wealthy families stood up and bowed.

The other three shook their heads, "Grain tax envoy, I, I think we can run first..."

Puff!

Three heads rolled down.

The blood was like a fountain, spraying several people violently. They trembled, but dared not make a sound.

Chen Nuo looked indifferent, "Run? You haven't made any preparations, where can you run? Where do you want to run?"

"Cowardly fools!"

Turning his head slightly to look at the four people, he spoke calmly.

"Four of you, you don't need to fight for your lives, just hand over your men."

"Grain tax envoy, sir, wise."

The four people bowed.

Afterwards.

Chen Nuo ordered Chen Shan to take some people to guard the Chen Mansion, and then came to the center of the town.

Here.

All the men have been gathered.

There were more than 250 people in the grain tax team, 200 people in the farming group, and more than 150 servants from the seven big families.

A total of more than 600 people!

The crowd looked at Chen Nuo.

The scene was a little noisy, but fortunately Chen Nuo's discipline training was still effective. Most people fell silent, and the rest also quieted down.

"You should know what you should know!"

"You should also know what those bandits will do!"

"So."

"No more nonsense!"

"If you win with me, I will give everyone money. If anyone unfortunately dies in battle, I will still give money!"

Bang!

A box was kicked over, and the white silver sparkled in the sun.
