Chapter 74 The Murder Appears

It turned out that the people who were evacuated in the end were all the neighbors who lived in the same lifang as Erwa. Everyone was talking about the stories that happened in the fang, most of which were related to Erwa's family or rumored anecdotes in the lifang.

The soldier named Erwa nodded frequently and said happily to Zhao Yi: "Lord Inspector, they are really from our lifang."

It seems that the people are real people, but the soldiers have not yet stood up to prove their identities.

Liao Wennan looked up at the darkness in the distance, and asked Song Zaiyan beside him in a low voice, "Where is that?"

Song Zaiyan glanced outside and lowered his voice, "There is a forest ten miles outside the east gate, and Linglong Mountain is behind the forest that stretches for more than ten miles."

Liao Wennan nodded and looked at the pitch-black forest, and after a while he said in a low voice, "It's so quiet!"

Song Zaiyan was stunned when he heard the words, and did not understand what Liao Wennan meant. Now the people under the city tower kept begging to enter the city, where is it quiet!
At this time, Lao Qian arrived with five hundred soldiers. He hurried to the tower, leaning over to Zhao Yi and whispering.

Song Zaiyan and Liao Wennan were close enough to hear something vaguely.

"Half an hour ago, the Great Wei Army launched a fierce attack on the three gates of the north, south and west at the same time, and now only [-] soldiers can be dispatched"

Zhao Yi was shocked. He had always wondered why the Great Wei chose to attack the South Gate, but now he suddenly split up and attacked the West Gate.

Moreover, they didn't have many soldiers, and the loss was even greater. It was not a wise move to divide the troops again. Zhao Yi was a little puzzled.

"The number of enemies attacking the city from the north and south gates has not decreased. It should be that another group of Wei troops have arrived at the west gate."

Lao Qian saw Zhao Yi's doubts and gave a more cruel explanation.

"Sir, the situation over there is urgent, you have to go back to take charge of the overall situation."

Zhao Yi understood that he really couldn't spend any more time here. He glanced back outside the city and ordered Lao Qian, "Check out the last group of soldiers who escorted the people out of the city, and verify it clearly, and the people must not be in trouble."

Lao Qian took the order, and Zhao Yi hurried to the city.

The people outside the city gate walked forward for a while, and some people began to cry, and there was fear in the cry.

Lao Qian raised the torch and looked down, then shouted at the people outside the city: "Soldiers, which general's subordinates are you, report your name, and let you enter the city immediately after the date of enlistment is verified."

The leading soldiers outside the city gate clenched their fists and bowed their heads in silence.

The people on the tower also stared at the soldiers in the distance.

Suddenly, the sound of breaking wind came from the pitch-black woods, and in the blink of an eye, a sharp arrow pierced through the night and shot into the bodies of the people standing behind.

The people were so frightened that they fled to the side, and looked back at the man who was pierced by the arrow in his chest and slowly fell to the ground.

Then the people panicked and ran to the city gate screaming.

Those escorting soldiers also shouted at the city: "Those people are chasing, the general quickly open the door and let us in!"

"Let us in!"

"We're going into town!"

There was chaos outside the city gate.

The soldiers who were resting at the east gate were awakened and ran out to the gate tower and shouted, "What happened?"

"Enemy!"

Erwa screamed in horror and was covered by Lao Qian, and then ordered everyone to say: "All soldiers gather, prepare to defend against the enemy!"

Then Lao Qian stared at Erwa and said word by word, "The order is to open the city gate!"

Song Zaiyan grabbed Lao Qian's arm and reminded, "Those soldiers have a problem!"

"I know! You can't let the people just die outside the city! Before the Governor left, he instructed the people that nothing would happen to them!"

Old Qian gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "The East City Gate has never been attacked, and these days are used for evacuation, so in addition to the wounded soldiers who have withdrawn from other places, the thousand defenders here are the recruits who have joined the army in the past few days. They were originally the people of Qingzhou City, if these people are allowed to be killed tonight, if they spread it out, they will be mutiny!"

Song Zaiyan let go after hearing the words, and understood that they were on fire at this time, and it would be painful no matter what the choice was.

Seeing that Erwa hadn't left, Lao Qian shouted, "The soldiers outside the city are all pretending to be enemies. They must not be allowed to enter the city! Go!"

Erwa ran down the tower in a hurry, Laoqian gathered all the soldiers, and ordered only 30 people to stay on the tower to guard, and everyone else went to the city gate, and ordered only one to protect all the people before the enemy hiding in the forest arrived at the gate. , Soldiers outside the city are not allowed to enter the city, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!

He ordered all the soldiers in the city to cut off their waistbands and tie them around their arms. Those outside the city who didn't wear white belts were the enemies.

The people had already rushed under the city gate at this time, and the sharp arrows behind them were still shooting non-stop, and people kept falling.

At this moment, Lao Qian only had resentment in his heart, not fear. At this moment, he still felt that the 500 men under his command were more than enough to poke at the mere two or three hundred soldiers. Close, tonight's defense battle is won!The door slowly opened with a crack that only allowed one person to pass through. "Come in one by one, don't worry." Before Erwa's voice fell, hundreds of people outside the city rushed up, pushing the city gate to the size of four or five people in an instant.

Just as the dozens of people at the head rushed in, they heard a shrill scream from behind, and when everyone heard the sound, their eyes were split open.

The soldiers in the Dazhou military uniform raised their long knives and slashed at the people who were powerless to tie the chickens. They could even see blood splashing in the dark night, and the cries and calls for help instantly hit the city.

"Protect the people, kill them all!" Lao Qian waved his long knife in anger, and led the soldiers to rush out of the city gate.

Hearing the more tragic voices outside the city, Liao Wennan, who was standing on the city tower, looked down along the city wall, and suddenly saw a lot of black shadows quickly shuttle under the city wall.

Liao Wennan hurried to the side of the runway and then checked carefully, and sure enough, there were countless shadows moving towards the city gate!
"Close the city gate! Quickly close the city gate!"

Liao Wennan used all his strength to shout down to the city tower, but at this time the city tower was already in chaos, and no one could hear her shouting.

Song Zaiyan hurried over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liao Wennan pointed under the wall, said "see for yourself", and ran frantically to the downstairs.

Song Zaiyan squinted his eyes and was shocked. He also ran down the city tower, grabbing the gong hanging on the city wall and knocking it.

Liao Wennan and Song Zaiyan were too late when they arrived under the city gate. Lao Qian had already taken most of the soldiers out of the city and killed them with hundreds of people in Da Zhou military uniforms. The people screamed and hid. Run into the city.

"Old money, come back soon!"

Song Zaiyan shouted at Lao Qian outside the city. Lao Qian hacked to death a fake soldier. Looking back, he saw the men in black suddenly appearing under the city walls on both sides of the city gate.

Some of the men in black had already run under the door in the chaos and ran into the city, and Lao Qian hurriedly chased back!

The remaining soldiers in the city also saw that they were men in black and slashed at them.

At this time, all the living people have entered the city, and there are dense things in the forest not far away, and men in black on both sides of the city wall are constantly attacking their soldiers.

Soldiers fell one by one by surprise.
