The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1460 Elder

"When the fire was lit up, I probably took a look. The roads in the mountains were densely packed with their people, probably [-] to [-] people." The man replied.

After hearing the answer, the elder slumped down on the chair.

"How could there be so many people? The three spies we caught didn't say they had so many people." The elder murmured, "Isn't there only 1000 people? We have already lured them away."

"Elder, I feel that they should be looking for those 1000 people, but they have been led away by us, and they can't find them, so they can only come to our village, but in a short while, we also I don’t know where those 1000 people have gone.” Da Zhuang said: “Elder, you should go up the city wall and explain to them, otherwise our village will really be lost.” Da Zhuang was already a little anxious at this point.

He never expected that the respected and beloved elder would be so timid and fearful at a critical juncture that he dared not even go up the city wall. When the fight broke out, there was chaos and loss in the village, but the elder still refused to go out.

"This city wall is too dangerous."

"Elder, don't worry, the younger one and his brothers will protect the elder with all their might. Even if there are arrows, the younger one will definitely stand in front of the elder. As long as the younger one doesn't die, he will definitely protect the elder." Da Zhuang promised.

As long as the elder can go up to the city wall and have a clear talk with them, he can do whatever he wants. Now every quarter of an hour, many brothers will die under the arrows from the opposite side, and many people in the village will be burned to death by the spreading fire. burn.

"That's right, the younger brother and the big brother are together to protect you, elder, please follow us to the city wall." The person who came to report also advised the elder to go out.

With the guarantee from the two of them, the elder took up some courage, and he also thought about it in his heart. If they should not respond to them, if the village can be kept after this fight, his position as an elder will not be secure.

It is one thing to know clearly in my heart, but the fear in my heart is also true and not fake, so until now, the elder has only half-pushed and half-heartedly left the hall with Da Zhuang and the reporter, and ran towards the city wall.

Xuan Shijing sat firmly in the middle of the army, watching the bustle of fighting in front of you.

Up to now, the two sides are shooting at each other with arrows, and some naval officers and soldiers have been injured, but once the archers in front have been hit by arrows, they will be replaced. Those who are not injured will go up again, and those who are injured The person was immediately treated by the accompanying military doctor drawing arrows.

It was just that the arrow was hit, and it was not shot at a vital point. Basically, they could save their lives. Among the troops led by Xuan Shijing, military doctors are the most indispensable in the army. The number of people and medical medicinal materials are also sufficient, so Xuan Shijing Can fight.

The stalemate between the two sides continued, and the deputy commander in front was not in a hurry, still watching the archers on his side shoot at the archers on the opposite wall.

"General, people are condescending. If we continue, if the number of people on the opposite side increases, it will be bad for us." The person next to the deputy commander said.

"The number of people has increased?" The deputy commander smiled when he heard the words: "There are only 5000 people in the entire village. How many people do you think they can increase to the city wall? They do occupy a favorable location, but we occupy the people and have enough soldiers and food. Sufficient, we can afford it, they can’t afford it, and the most important thing is not to kill them, but to force their managers out, these people are alive, and there are other uses.”

The deputy commander is very clear about Xuan Shijing's purpose, so their purpose is not to kill many people, but to completely subdue them and make the people in the village obedient.

For the time being, it is only this one stockade. In the future, there will be a second stockade, and a third stockade, until all the forces on this island are subdued, and the entire island is completely transformed into the Tang Dynasty. rule the land.

It's not far from Quanzhou, so it's not a bad idea to set up a county government to manage it after it is conquered.

It has to be said that Xuan Shijing did not misread the wrong person, the deputy commander was still very far-sighted.

In the stockade, under the escort of Da Zhuang and another young man, the elder went up to the city wall. Since he got on the city wall, the elder kept bowing his body and hid under the battlements of the city wall.

"Elder, all the brothers on the city wall are here." Da Zhuang reminded.

Another round of arrows was shot on the city wall.

"Look at it, look at it, the arrows are densely packed, they are all hiding," said the elder.

Da Zhuang was helpless, so he could only hide under the battlements and shout loudly: "Brothers on the city wall stop first, and everyone below stop first, our elders have already arrived, and we both have no way to talk properly no!"

Hearing Da Zhuang's voice on the city wall, the deputy commander smiled.

"Order to stop the attack."

"Yes."

"Stop attacking!!!" "Stop attacking!!!"

After the order was conveyed, the archer stopped immediately, while the shieldman remained on the spot, taking strict precautions.

"That elder on the city wall, why doesn't he stand up and speak out?" The deputy commander shouted loudly, "What kind of person is he who hides his head and shows his tail?"

Da Zhuang on the city wall stood up, looked at the situation below, then bent down, and said to the elder squatting there: "Elder, stop, you stand up and talk to them."

"Really stopped?"

"It's really stopped, you see, the little one is fine standing here." Da Zhuang said.

"You are you, can I do the same?" The elder said angrily. He felt that, as Da Zhuang, even if the person on the opposite side shot an arrow and Da Zhuang hit the arrow, it didn't matter to the overall situation. But he is an elder, if the other party wants to After killing him, he stood up, and when the arrow was released, he died, and the whole village had no leader. It would be much easier to capture here.

It is said that the king is captured before the thief is captured, and this is always written in books.

"But elder, if you don't stand up and answer, there will still be a fight." Da Zhuang said, "If you don't stand up and answer, you're not taking this risk in vain."

"This..." the elder thought while stroking his beard. Although he was afraid, what Da Zhuang said was the truth. If he didn't deal with the people outside the village, he probably wouldn't have a safe life in the future.

With Da Zhuang's support, the elder stood up tremblingly. With the help of the original firelight on the top of the city, the deputy general could see the appearance of the elder clearly.

He is about a sixty years old, with a plump and round figure, and he looks like a type of person who has a better life.

"I don't know who is the general under the city?" the elder asked.

The elder's voice was not very loud, but now that the two sides were at war with each other and the atmosphere was tense, apart from the sound of Night Breeze and the torches, even bugs didn't dare to call, so the voice could be heard clearly.
