Chapter 186 The Wen Family's 8-Strong Siege Army
Chen Qingxuan drove slowly along the official road, which was covered in snow and filled with refugees.
"If only we had an airplane, this is too slow."
Chu Chen, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly blurted out this sentence.
"You idiot, what's an airplane?"
"Uh, it's a chicken that can fly in the sky."
“Those things are everywhere in Mashan Village, and the Feng family raises quite a few.”
After hearing this, Chu Chen turned his head away and ignored him.
I can't say for sure, I can't say at all.
The closer you get to the capital, the thicker the snow becomes.
On the evening of the second day, the car finally arrived in Andu City, and Chu Chen took over the steering wheel.
This several-ton behemoth is about to be dug into a ditch by Chen Qingxuan.
If you can't use your own space openly, it'll just get abandoned halfway through.
Fortunately, the off-road performance of this explosion-proof vehicle is truly excellent.
As long as you feed it oil, it will work hard without ever failing you.
Seeing that it was getting late, Chu Chen simply stopped the car.
Open the windows and doors, and set up a small stove and iron pot at the back of the vehicle.
The fragrant steak being pan-fried whetted Chen Qingxuan's appetite.
He deftly opened a bottle of wine and gulped down a few mouthfuls.
Then I picked up a steak and ate it in a few bites.
"You idiot, hurry up! There's not even enough meat to fill your teeth."
Chu Chen shook his head at the sight, wishing he had stewed some meat and bones for him instead.
But thinking back, this thing really isn't that big.
In the freezing cold, who cares about knives and forks? It's just a matter of a few bites.
They fried more than ten pieces before the two of them were finally full.
However, most of it ended up in the stomach of that drunkard.
After downing a bottle of baijiu, Chen Qingxuan collapsed in the back and fell fast asleep.
Late at night, a rustling sound woke Chu Chen up.
Looking up outside, I was shocked to see a zombie apocalypse.
All around the car were various kinds of refugees.
Chu Chen snapped on the car lights.
It instantly illuminated the refugees outside.
The blinding lights illuminated the snow-white earth, carrying far and wide.
The refugees who were peering through the window were so startled by the sudden light that they fell to the ground in the snow.
Chu Chen stared outside, thinking, "Damn, this is going to be difficult."
These are just ordinary people who can't make a living; you can't exactly pull out a machine gun and start shooting.
Perhaps it was the aroma of the steak that attracted these people.
So he picked up the megaphone inside and shouted out.
"It's freezing cold, everyone should go home. I don't have much food left."
Although I don't need this myself, I can't give it away right now.
If given a chance, this group of people could overwhelm the armored vehicle in no time.
Suddenly he thought of something, got up and rushed to the vehicle control console.
This thing has a car-mounted sound wave diffuser.
Immediately afterwards, a huge sound emanated from it.
The refugees outside fled in droves.
Seeing that it was effective, Chu Chen quickly kicked the drunkard to sober him up.
"You drunkard, drive fast, let's go!"
"You idiot, are you looking for death? I was sleeping soundly."
"Stop dawdling! We're surrounded by refugees, hurry up!"
After hearing this, Chen Qingxuan looked outside and was quite surprised to see so many people.
He immediately climbed into the driver's seat, stepped on the gas, and sped off.
At this moment, Chu Chen was using wave after wave of sonic attacks to force back those who wanted to move forward.
Gradually, the refugees dared not approach any further and covered their ears.
After breaking out of the encirclement, Chu Chen threw several large bags of compressed biscuits in all directions.
Under the influence of gravity, they instantly scattered all over the ground.
Chu Chen picked up the megaphone and shouted, "This thing can only be eaten once a day, along with a few sips of water, and it can survive for a day."
After saying that, he slowly walked out of the circle of refugees.
At that moment, the refugees saw things being thrown out of the car.
In an instant, they swarmed towards the compressed biscuits.
Some people managed to grab one or two coins, while others were lucky enough to get a whole bunch.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, those who had managed to grab the compressed biscuits returned to their own shacks.
"One piece a day, with water, can one survive for a day?"
A man in his thirties was tightly clutching about ten compressed biscuits in his hand.
He glanced at his wife, who was starving and on the verge of death in the shack.
He then bit off a piece with his teeth, chewed a small portion of it, and gulped down several mouthfuls of snow water.
Instantly, a feeling of fullness washed over me.
"Madam, Madam, there's hope!"
After saying that, he knelt down in the direction Chu Chen had left with a thud: "Thank you, my benefactor, for saving my life!"
He then stood up and shoved the half-piece in his hand into his wife's mouth.
Meanwhile, Chu Chen and his group had already driven several miles away.
The two drove straight until the early hours of the morning before stopping to rest.
In the early hours of the morning, Zhou Shixun tossed and turned in his bedroom, unable to sleep.
He waved to Eunuch Wei and said, "Old Wei, I feel a little uneasy."
"Your Majesty is overthinking it. The soldiers from Andu have already returned, and those from Yundian will arrive soon."
Just as the two were talking, a young man hurriedly arrived outside Zhou Shixun's bedroom.
He asked the palace maid outside, "Your Majesty, are you awake?"
Upon closer inspection, this person was none other than Fang Shuzhen, whom Chu Chen had met before.
"General Fang, why are you in such a hurry? It's not even fully light yet."
Upon seeing this, Fang Shuzhen anxiously paced around outside the palace.
At this moment, Eunuch Wei pushed open the door and came out: "Shuzhen, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Eunuch Wei, a large number of soldiers have suddenly appeared outside the capital and are heading towards it."
"Huh, so fast?"
After saying that, he led Fang Shuzhen into Zhou Shixun's bedroom.
"Shuzhen, tell me, how did they get in?"
Zhou Shixun looked up and asked.
"Your Majesty, we were careless. Those people were disguised as refugees, scattered from various places, and gathered outside the capital."
"At this moment, approximately 80,000 troops have been assembled."
Eighty thousand men, plus ten thousand of his own secret guards and twenty thousand Andu garrison troops, totaling thirty thousand men.
The Wen family is more than twice the size of my own.
However, those ten thousand secret guards should not be used unless absolutely necessary, unless the capital is breached.
Using Andu's 20,000 against 80,000, there is absolutely no chance of winning.
Even if the garrison troops who went out to provide disaster relief returned to the capital, there would only be about 20,000 of them.
Besides, at this point, it's unlikely they'll be able to come back.
After analyzing the situation for a while, Zhou Shixun instantly came to his senses.
"Shuzhen, notify the 20,000 troops guarding Andu to hold the gates of the capital at all costs and await reinforcements from Yundian."
Fang Shuzhen accepted the order and left.
At that moment, a pigeon flew straight into Eunuch Wei's hand.
When Eunuch Wei tore off the note from the pigeon's leg and looked at it, his expression changed drastically.
"Old Wei, what's the matter that you're in such a panic?"
Eunuch Wei did not speak, but handed the note to Zhou Shixun.
Zhou Shixun took it and glanced at it, and his expression changed slightly.
"Hahaha, it seems that Silla has wolfish ambitions and has always coveted our Great Xia territory."
