Chapter 46 Faith

The Linyi soldiers led by Fan Hu were like tigers going down the mountain, beating the Lijia soldiers on the streets to the point of falling. These soldiers thought everything was fine, so they only focused on robbery. Most of the leaders were happy in the large courtyards in various places. They could not organize effective counterattacks for a while, and the soldiers had to turn around and run away.

The enemy was so vulnerable that Linyi soldiers were so vicious that they were so angry that they howled and chased these defeated soldiers. Wherever they went, the enemy was defeated.

Seeing that his side's raid was successful, Fan Hu was extremely excited and was about to command his headquarters to kill him, but he saw the defeated enemy soldiers in front of him dodge to both sides of the road and give up a team of "going against the current".

The soldiers of this team were wearing iron armor and holding spears, crossbows and sword cards, and their uniform colors were uniformly black. They looked obviously different from those soldiers with various colors. They should be serious troops.

Judging from his appearance, no soldier held gold, silver and jewelry, and there was no cloth wrapped around his waist or poultry hanging on his waist. The formation was tight, with knives and cards in front, followed by spears and soldiers, and there were gaps between them so that the crossbowmen in the back row could come forward and shoot arrows.

The team did not participate in the robbery at all, but was waiting to advance on the street. Fan Hu knew that he encountered the enemy's elite, but he also knew that once the opponent was defeated, his side's chances of successful counterattack would be greater.

Passionately surged into his heart, Fan Hu shouted to his subordinates to fight, and the sword player was also ahead, followed by the spear player, but there was still a distance between the two sides. He ordered the archers to go forward and shoot an arrow before charging.

However, just as the archer on his side was pushing forward, the opponent's sword player suddenly howled and charged. Just when the two sides were less than forty steps away, the infantry suddenly threw many short spears after the opponent's sword player.

The short spear with a strange shape came fiercely, and Linyi Dao player's rattan card could not be defended at all. Many soldiers were stabbed by the short spear passing through the card and fell to the ground. In a chaotic situation, the opponent threw a second round of short spear.

Lin Yi soldiers squeezing on the narrow streets had no choice but to watch the short spear pierced on the head, and the formation was instantly disrupted. The enemy sword player had already rushed to the front, threw the shield in his hand forward, waving the long sword and various weapons into the crowd.

Blood splattered everywhere, and Linyi soldiers were about to collapse at once. They were thin and weak, and they were unable to fight against the strong enemy soldiers. Red and white things were splashing everywhere. Looking at the enemy soldiers who looked like evil ghosts, Linyi soldiers' originally rising morale fell to the bottom in an instant.

The confidence to drive the enemy out of the city also disappeared without a trace.

Fan Hu, who was the leader in the battle, had his treasure sword in his hand broken by a burly enemy with an iron mace. Before he could draw out his body defense dagger, he was kicked in the middle of the crotch by the opponent.

At that moment, he felt something breaking, and then a severe pain came and he couldn't help but fall down with his crotch.

After practicing martial arts for more than ten years, he was defeated after just one round of battle. Fan Hu, who rolled on the ground in pain, watched the opponent's iron mace smashing at him in despair. When his head burst, he saw that his soldiers were defeated.

The turning of defeat into victory with full confidence is just a reflection in the water, and disappears when the breeze blows.

At first, Li Liaobing, who was beaten to the point of running away, saw that the official army easily solved the enemy. He was at a loss for a moment and stood there and watched. Li Shimo, the leader of the Hulin Army, asked his followers to speak out.

"Continue, keep going, stupid! If you do it late, you won't have anything to take!"

The soldiers were overjoyed when they heard this. Since there were a capable official army as a backing to "release the news", what were they afraid of? The confidence to steal money, grain and women is back.

The interrupted burning, killing and looting began again. Listening to the crying and begging of women everywhere, Li Shima frowned. He didn't like this feeling.

At the pre-war mobilization meeting, the king ordered the attack on Dian Chonghou to massacre the city. Many soldiers of the Hulin Army were stunned for a moment. They joined the army to make contributions to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but they never thought that they would kill people and set fire to the fire after breaking the city.

The Hulin Army has strict military discipline and has always prohibited burning, killing, looting, so over the years, the Hulin Army has never slaughtered the city. Now, although the king still prohibits the Hulin Army from participating in burning, killing, looting, Li Shimo still feels uncomfortable when he is at the scene.

Yuwen Wen talked about the general history of Linyi Kingdom at the mobilization meeting. Li Shimo only learned at the meeting that Linyi Kingdom, which was extremely hot in the weather, has been attacking the counties under Jiaozhou for hundreds of years and massacred countless people.

Therefore, the official army had to take revenge by the hands of the war-assisted soldiers and let them burn, kill and loot, which was not only considered as reward for the war-assisted people, but also avenge the people of Rinan County who were massacred by Linyi Kingdom in the past.

Since this statement was said, the soldiers did not have much psychological burden, but Li Shimo still felt uncomfortable staying here. However, the king had an order to send teams to deploy defenses in the city to prevent the enemy from counterattacking. Therefore, even if he was unwilling to listen to those voices, he could only pretend to be unable to hear them.

......

In a corner of the west of the city, a group of malicious soldiers surrounded a courtyard. The guard guard holding a knife and a sign at the gate blocked the door, but they were weak and if the other party was hard, they could not withstand it by their own strength.

The reason why this situation can be maintained is because there is a door talisman hanging next to the courtyard gate, with strange patterns on it, which shocked the soldiers outside, but the "trophy" in the courtyard is too generous, making these people a little "hard to let go".

There were many elderly, weak, women and children in the yard. Listening to the cries everywhere, many people were trembling, and many women hugged the baby crying in their arms, looking at their husbands in horror.

Several middle-aged men dressed in wealthy clothes watched nervously as one walked out of the room. The man was their old acquaintance, Gao Liang Feng Delang.

"Brother Feng! Why don't we give all the wealth to exchange for the leaders to give high gifts..." A slightly fat middle-aged man begged. He was sweating profusely. Perhaps because of his fear, he was speechless.

"Don't panic in Wu Dong's family. When Feng goes to negotiate with all the leaders, he will definitely keep everyone safe." Feng Delang said slowly, his tone was calm and he did not look panicked at all.

The other people looked at the guard guard blocking the gate, their faces becoming more and more worried, wanting to say but not knowing what to say.

Today, an army suddenly attacked Dianchong City, and soon broke into the city. The sea merchants who settled in Dianchong were at a loss. Feng Delang, who was also a sea merchant, sent someone to send a strange door talisman, saying that as long as the talisman was hung at the door, he could avoid military disasters.

Feng Delang is from the Feng family of Gaoliang. He is very familiar with everyone and has a trust in his character. He can make such a guarantee. He wants to have something to do with the army that sieges, but several of his bosses dare not take risks with their entire family.

The army immediately burned and killed and looted after breaking through the city. It seemed that the family was about to finish it. Everyone hurriedly brought their families to Feng Delang to the collapsed place and begged for shelter. The pursuers quickly surrounded the yard. If this continues, I am afraid...

"Don't worry, everyone is the official army who attacks the city. They only attack people and will never harm our Central Plains seedlings."

"Official Army? Are you talking about Zhou Army?"

"Yes, Feng was ordered by the official army to enter the city first, check the signal and set fire to disrupt the morale of the defenders, and ensure everyone's safety."

At this time, Feng Delang was holding a white banner with strange patterns on it and four characters in Chinese characters in the middle. He smiled at the terrified middle-aged people and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

The leader of the Lijian soldier outside the courtyard changed his expression behind the white banner. He took out his cloth from his arms and looked at the white banner again and again. He was like seeing a ghost. He chatted with Feng Delang for a few words and then led his men away and went to burn, kill and loot somewhere else.

"Thank you Brother Feng for your life!!"

Seeing this, the middle-aged men were so excited that they were about to kneel down. Feng Delang helped him hard. He turned his head and ordered: "Hurry up, hold up the white banner, watch carefully, and don't let the fire ignite."

Several guards raised white banners on the courtyard wall. Seeing that Li Liaobing had indeed retreated, Feng Delang felt relieved. When the breeze blew, his back was soaked by sweat.

Someone came to his senses: "Brother Feng, this... the official army entered the city, but they would not be stationed there?"

"No, when the situation is calm, Feng takes everyone to see the generals of the government army, then packs up and returns to the country with the government army."

"Ah...this...ah, that's all."

If you can go out for a boat to do maritime trade, you are not very smart. Now the official army (Zhou army) burns, kills, loots and does not intend to stay forever. So after the official army leaves, the people of Linyi, who are distraught, may have to tear them away.

Several of them are all Central Plains maritime merchants. Even though some of them settled in Dianchong from their parents, they were outsiders in the eyes of Linyi people. Now that Dianchong is broken, in the eyes of the other party, they are the internal responders of the Zhou army who are exempt from military disasters, and it is useless to explain it.

So I can only leave with the government army, but where can I go next? Will I still do it in the future?

"Don't worry, Lingbiao has changed its new government and encourages Hai Trade. You will take your family to Fanyu or Longbian to settle down, and you will soon be able to regroup."

"Brother Feng, is this... what the top means?"

Faced with the temptation, Feng Delang did not intend to hide it, and nodded and said, "That one, I specially gave me this white banner to protect everyone. The intention was obvious."

"That one", "given", revealed a shocking news in just a few words. Several middle-aged people quickly figured out the key, and their eyes looked at Feng Delang more and more awe.

"Brother Feng, I wonder what we can do for which... the official army?"

"Everyone, please take your family to settle down in the humble house. Let's talk about other things slowly."

Feng Delang called everyone to settle down and looked back at the white banner. He couldn't help but feel more confident: The King of Xiyang really believed in his words!

As a member of the Feng clan, of course, he had to obey the Grandma's orders, so he became the inner responder of the Zhou army when attacking Dian Chong, and first stepped into the city and stood on standby. However, the chief commander of the Zhou army and King Xiyang gave him the first task to him was to keep the safety of Chinese merchants in the city.

If such considerations and arrangements are made, Feng Delang is willing to believe in the bright prospects described by King Xiyang, and the door talisman and the white banner given to him by the other party are proof of the Chinese merchants protecting their family's safety during the massacre of the city.

Now it really worked, and Feng Delang really believed in the beautiful prospects described by King Xiyang from now on.
