Family practice: all members of the villain

Chapter 188: Forced recruitment, hold on for three days

In Wanyang County, there are not many people on the streets anymore, especially the closer to the west city, the more deserted it becomes.

At the entrance of a rice noodle shop not far from Xicheng, more than ten people were gathering together. They all carried bags of food in their hands. They had obviously finished their shopping and were chatting together.

Although they were just chatting, it was still clear that the faces of both the shopkeeper and the customers looked a little gloomy, and they would turn their heads to look in the direction of the west city gate from time to time, and the worry on their faces could not be concealed at all.

"The sound seems to have stopped. Can you hold on?"

"I don't know. It's the third day. The defenders in the city should have finished fighting!"

"I heard yesterday that Yongzhou sent more than [-] demon sect troops this time. With more than [-] troops, Wanyang County will definitely not be able to defend it over time."

"What should we do? We have to find a way to escape!"

"Run, where are you running from? There is fighting at the west gate, the east gate, the south gate, and the north gate. They are all blocked by the Yongzhou army. I heard that the people from the Sword Division fought hard this morning to send two cavalry out to report the news. We are the only ones. If you try to escape from there, you will definitely die."

"Then we can't just wait inside for them to break through the city. I've heard people say that the demon sect's army is all about eating people and not spitting out their bones. If they really attack us, we'll be in dire straits!"

…………

More than a dozen people, including the shopkeeper, almost all expressed their fear of the Yongzhou demon army in their words, as if the ones attacking the city at this moment are not human beings like them, but a group of devils. , there will definitely be corpses everywhere and rivers of blood.

There was only a young man and a boy standing on the periphery. When they heard these words, they looked at each other strangely.

The young man was about in his early twenties, with a thin build. There was a flash of light in his eyes from time to time. He obviously sneered at what everyone said, but he did not take the initiative to explain anything.

The young man looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with thin lips and a sharp face, exuding a perseverance that was not what he should have at this age. It was different from the young man's eyes that often moved around. The young man's eyes were always focused on those who spoke. On the lips, his eyes were just casual, and it would not be easy to spot if you didn't look carefully.

"Brother Su, is the Yongzhou army really so cruel?"

Wan Xiaolou pondered for a while, and couldn't help but ask Su Li in a low voice. Like these people who were discussing, he had lived in Xuzhou since he was a child. Before meeting his master Hou Yuxiao, he had never been in contact with people in Yongzhou. I was also afraid of Yongzhou people under my influence. Although this idea has changed after becoming a disciple of Hou Yuxiao, the general feeling remains the same.

Su Li did not answer immediately, and his expression became a little complicated. After thinking for a long time, he replied: "Before I came to Xuzhou, my impression of Xuzhou was basically the same as these people's impression of Yongzhou."

In fact, Su Li didn't lie!

He grew up in Zhaoyang County. In his early days, he had no understanding of the world at all, and he had no idea at all about the so-called good and evil ways. But as he grew up, especially after he started practicing martial arts , some perceptions began to change.

For example, he knew the divisions between the seven states of the righteous way and the six states of the evil way. He knew that Zhaoyang was located on the eastern border of Yongzhou, and that the other end of the boundary monument was Xuzhou.

400 years ago, before the Jin Capital Covenant was signed, Xuzhou massacred the people of Yongzhou, including Su Lide's father who told him when he was still alive that his ancestors of the Su family were killed by Xuzhou people...

Su Li came to Wanyang County on July 30th with 20 people from the Geng tribe. He has stayed for almost [-] days today. It is said that he is familiar with Wanyang County, but honestly speaking, he still has a negative attitude towards Wanyang County. Because of his hostility, he only stayed with Wan Xiaolou and others from beginning to end in Wanyang County, and rarely communicated with other people.

Investigating the root cause, the biggest reason is naturally caused by the influence he has had since he was a child growing up in Zhaoyang, as well as the grievances and grievances between his ancestors.

Su Li's expression was complicated because, after hearing the discussion of the people in front of him, he discovered that the people in Wanyang County had similar feelings about the people of Yongzhou as he did.

More importantly, he grew up in Zhaoyang, and knew that there were many people in Zhaoyang who were more hostile to Xuzhou than he was. He could only guess that the small Zhaoyang County, just next door to Xuzhou, was still like this. Then people in other places in Yongzhou are more hostile to Xuzhou...

"That means that these people's worries are likely to come true. After the Yongzhou army attacks, will there really be a massacre?"

Hearing Wan Xiaolou's inquiry, Su Li nodded with a heavy expression. Seeing the worried look on his face, he thought he was scared and hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be afraid. The [-] defenders of Wanyang County returned with a disastrous defeat. Now, The Holy Religion army is attacking the city again, which proves that the Holy Religion must have won in Tongling, and I, the Hou family, should be fine. The head of the family knows we are here, and he will come to find us!"

Wan Xiaolou's face relaxed a little, and he turned to look at the lonely streets in the city. His eyes became slightly dark, and he thought to himself: "Master, will you follow the Yongzhou army to fight here?"

It has only been two months since the master left Wanyang County. Although he received Su Li's guidance and his martial arts attainments have improved by leaps and bounds, his cultivation level is still only at the fifth level. In this war, he can at best be an ordinary soldier. Therefore, it is normal to feel worried.

After all, it was his first time to witness a battle of this level. Although he was a little nervous, he was more excited.

During this period of time, he had communicated with Su Li a lot. He knew that the Hou clan was an influx of forces that could control a county. It was on the same level as the Shenyinmen he had been with when he was a child. Right now, Yongzhou is the attacking side. If Wanyang County can be defeated in one fell swoop, After that, Yongzhou has the final say here. If the Hou family where the master is located also participates in it, then the status in Wanyang County will definitely not be low in the future. It will remain intact.

Of course, this is just the benefit of being invisible. More importantly, he just learned that Yunye County was captured by the Yongzhou army the day before yesterday. If nothing unexpected happened, the Shenyin Sect would be driven out by the Yongzhou army. Unfortunately, the army was defeated from Tongling. He arrived just in time to save the disciples of the Shenyin Sect, who were staying in the city at the moment.

Wan Xiaolou's eyes flashed with a hint of sinisterness. He, Wan Xiaojin and the other five people were all caught in the Shenyin Sect as human beings since they were young. They suffered inhuman torture and were even left deaf in both ears. It can be said that he is filled with hatred. The people from the Shenyin Sect are currently staying in the city, which undoubtedly allows him to see a great opportunity for revenge.

"Brother Su, whom Master randomly dispatched, has the cultivation level of Gangqi Realm, and there are more than 30 seventh-level warriors. The strength of the Hou family is definitely stronger than that of the Shenyin Sect. If the Yongzhou army can attack the city, I will definitely be able to borrow it. With Master’s hands, drive out all the disciples of the Shenyin Sect!”

Wan Xiaolou groaned softly in his heart, and the flames of hatred ignited in his eyes.

Su Li saw Wan Xiaolou's face and immediately knew what he was thinking. During this period, he also learned a lot about Wan Xiaolou's five brothers and sisters, and knew about his hatred for the Shenyin Sect. He had grown up in Zhaoyang Growing up, the level of ups and downs experienced was no less than that of Wan Xiaolou. Knowing that this kind of hatred is difficult to eliminate, naturally he would not offer any comfort.

"Let's go back first. We don't know how the war in the city will change yet. It's best not to stay outside casually. It will be bad if you commit something."

"it is good!"

The two were about to leave when suddenly a soldier on a horse came from the west city, running wildly and shouting:
"The Yongzhou army invaded the territory. Lu Jianshi activated the sword formation to protect the city. He has retreated from the enemy. The battle at the west gate is tense. We are now forcibly recruiting warriors with a fifth level or above in the city to go to the west gate to defend the city. Report to the west gate at the latest one hour. If anyone dares Those who fail to arrive will be shot without mercy!"

If anyone dares Those who fail to arrive will be shot without mercy!"

The soldier's shouting didn't stop at all. He kept shouting all the way until the voice weakened. Su Li and Wan Xiaolou looked at each other and saw a hint of gloom in each other's eyes.

"Compulsory recruitment, Brother Su, shouldn't we also go?"

Su Li nodded with a heavy face and said: "There are road guides during the war. The Sword Master knows exactly how many people are in the city. Anyone who dares to miss it will be killed without mercy. This means that in an hour, the city will begin." You must go for interrogation, otherwise you will die if you are found out!”

After speaking, Su Li and Wan Xiaolou quickly headed towards the small courtyard where they lived, preparing to notify the other members of the Geng Department, and rushed to the west gate together to report.

………………

Inside the west gate, there is an ordinary-looking residence, with more than ten people gathered inside.

The person sitting at the head of the table was a handsome middle-aged man wearing white clothes and a face as beautiful as a crown jewel. More than a dozen members of the Wanjian Saint Sect with a calm and powerful aura were sitting on both sides of him. There were two people standing in the middle, facing each other. The middle-aged man in white looked a little worried.

No one spoke. Not only the two standing people looked worried, but the faces of the rest of the people also looked ugly. The silence made the atmosphere in the room a bit chilly.

In the whole room, the middle-aged man in white who was sitting at the head of the room still looked as usual. After waiting for more than ten breaths, he spoke to the standing man.

"Lu Guanqing, the city wall has been occupied by them?"

"Reporting to the head of the sword, there are more than 5 people from the Devil's Cult army attacking the city, which is really too many. Fortunately, Commander Gan led his brothers to cooperate with luring the enemy to go deep. I then used the brass sword array to barely block them on the city wall. , dare not attack the city!"

After escaping from death in Tongling, Lu Guanqing was still very panicked. Huangfu Xing's palm had caused quite a psychological shadow on him. He originally thought that when he came back, he could take credit from Gu Tianyun. After all, he had ordered him to lead the army to attack this time. It was Gu Tianyun from Tongling, but he didn't expect that after returning to Wanyang County, what he had to do was not to claim credit, but to defend the city.

He never expected that an ordinary test would turn into a two-week war. When Huangfuxing tore up the covenant, he was indeed panicked for a while, but soon he felt that it was just Huangfuxing. It's a bluff, after all, everyone knows that the Rakshasa Holy Sect is currently besieged on all sides.

How is it possible to go to war with Xuzhou despite such great pressure?

But when he returned to Wanyang County with the 17 miserable troops, especially after meeting the fleeing people in Yunye County, he realized that Yongzhou's [-] troops had really come over, and he was completely stupid. …

In the battle of Tongling, plus Huangfu Xing's palm at the end, Wanyang County's 17 silver-armored troops were left with only a little over [-]. In addition, he was a sword-wielding master of the third level of the master, and these [-] silver-armored troops The commander of the army, Gan Wu, who was at the peak of his Baodan stage, wanted to stop the [-] Yongzhou army personally led by Yin Yumian Fan Peng Yuhu of Xingnan Prefecture. It was nothing short of wishful thinking.

Fortunately, fortunately, Nishizhao Sword Head is still there...

As the sword envoy of the Sword Master Division sent by the Wanjian Sacred Sect, once Wanyang County is lost, according to the Sacred Sect's law, he cannot escape death. So at this moment, he almost pinned all his hopes on Gu Tianyun in front of him. Pointing to him that he can help him defend Wanyang County.

Lu Guanqing's eyes were filled with hope as he looked around at the twelve people standing on the left and right sides of the room. He knew all the Saint Sect masters that Gu Tianyun had brought here. Almost all of them were Grand Master realm masters with similar strength to him. He wanted to keep them at the moment. Wanyang County relies on Gu Tianyun and these people.

While he was deep in thought, Gu Tianyun also spoke.

"Just block them on the city wall. How many defenders are left?"

This time it was not Lu Guanqing who answered Gu Tianyun, but Gan Wu, the commander of the Silver Armored Army standing next to him. He was tall and burly, with a rough face. The armor he wore was still stained with blood. It was obviously from the fierce battle on the city wall just now. Mark of.

"According to the sword leader, there are only 5000 defenders left out of [-]. If Yongzhou charges again, even if there is a sword formation, it will be difficult for us to stop it. Fortunately, Lu Jianshi has just sent people to forcibly attack the city. As long as I can recruit [-] more warriors who are above the level to join the army, my subordinates will have the confidence to continue blocking the Yongzhou army!"

Gu Tianyun nodded upon hearing this, and then turned his gaze to Lu Guanqing.

"Our Wanyang County has a population of about 190 million, of which there are more than 1 warriors, among whom there are more than 5000 warriors who have attained the fifth level or above. Tong Wudi has already gathered more than 9000 people from the Tianding Sect and will be here soon. In addition, Although this recruitment is mandatory, it does not rule out that some people will disobey orders. I predict that with the addition of Tianding Sect’s troops, the number will eventually reach more than [-] people.”

Hearing this number, Gan Wu looked shocked, clasped his fists and said: "If we can recruit 9000 more people, and use Lu Jianshi's brass sword formation as a supplement, I can guarantee that the Yongzhou army will never be allowed to break through the city wall even half a step. ,only……"

Gan Wu hesitated for a moment and said: "For some reason, the Yongzhou army only focuses on the west gate. If they divide their forces and attack the city from four directions together, we will be easily defeated if we are short of manpower..."

Hearing Gan Wu's words, Gu Tianyun showed a look of confidence on his face and said: "Don't worry, with this sword head here, they will die if they divide their troops!"

Gu Tianyun's words immediately woke up Lu Guanqing and Gan Wu. They suddenly recalled Gu Tianyun in front of them, but the Qianyang realm martial arts master suddenly showed excitement on his face.

An army of one hundred thousand level has a suppressive effect on the martial arts masters of the Yin Yang Holy Realm. This is the reason why the Yongzhou army dares to attack the city even though they know that Gu Tianyun is in the city. Once they divide their troops and Gu Tianyun takes action at the right time, what will happen to the Yongzhou army? It's a catastrophe...

"The two soldiers who sent the message will arrive at Longxiang County tomorrow at the latest. There are not many defenders in Longxiang County. They will definitely notify Fucheng that the reinforcements from Guangling Mansion will arrive at full speed. It will take at least three days. Lu Guanqing, Gan Wu, as long as you can hold on for these three days, when I return to Xudu, I will definitely ask for credit for you two in front of the sect master."

"Thank you Jianshou, this subordinate will swear to defend Wanyang County to the death!"

After hearing the two people's answers, Gu Tianyun showed a trace of satisfaction on his face. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly looked up in the direction of the west city gate with a dignified look on his face.

"Zhan Taiqing is here!"
