Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Wei Fangyun mounted his horse and said, "Changqing, I'll go to the wall first."

"Mother, mother, take care of yourself." Meng Changqing hurriedly ran back to her pit, put on her official uniform, opened the box, took out her eldest brother's sword and put it on her waist.

At this time, Bafang and Laicai stepped into the hole, "Master, we will protect you."

Meng Changqing threw the other two swords in the box to them, "Keep them safe and return them to me later."

She got out of the cave and mounted her horse, riding it up the city wall and stopped beside Wei Fangyun.

"Look over there, the spies have turned back." Wei Fangyun said calmly, "There are only about thirty people in the field of vision, about four miles away from us. They don't look like Yan people, but more like Jiewan savages."

The spy's horse quickly arrived under the city wall, "Reporting to your lord, 34 Jiewan savages are less than four miles away from us."

"The soldiers obeyed the order. Colonel Zhang led seventy soldiers to form a frontal formation to meet the enemy. Colonel Yang led the cavalry to encircle and suppress them from the side. They must be strangled outside the wall."

"Yes!"

The two captains immediately led their troops out of the city, while Meng Changqing watched on the city wall with his sword in hand.

The Jiemaru barbarians outside the wall immediately dispersed as soon as they saw the soldiers coming towards them.

Although there are more soldiers going out to meet the enemy than the Jiemaru Savages, once they disperse, our advantage will be weakened.

Before Meng Changqing could say anything, Yang Zheng ordered the cavalry to line up and surround the Jiewan barbarians.

But there were only a few cavalrymen. If Zhang Yuan hadn't caught up with his men, these barbarians would have almost been able to break out of the cavalry encirclement.

After several attempts, the savages found that they could not rush out. Instead, several of them were stabbed to death by spears.

Immediately, some people knelt down and begged for mercy. The words they spoke could not be understood by Yang Zheng and others, but their movements and gestures could fully express their wishes.

At this time, those Jiewan barbarians were only two miles away from the city wall.

Meng Changqing stood on the high wall and could see their movements clearly.

Yang Zheng shouted in the direction where they were: "All 34 savages have been captured. Please show me."

Meng Changqing looked at Wei Fangyun next to him, "Master Futai."

Wei Fangyun asked Meng Changqing: "What do you think should be done?"

"There is no need to capture him alive."

Wei Fangyun raised his voice and replied: "Kill."

“The Jiewan savages arrived here first, maybe it’s a good thing.” Wei Fangyun said, “When these savages enter the checkpoint, they don’t just come here, most of them follow the Yan defenders.

It will take some time for the Yan army to deal with them. It is estimated that the Yan army will arrive here in two days. "

Meng Changqing was not so optimistic. The Yan army had already temporarily released the Tuozhou checkpoint to deal with them. They would not wait for two days.

"Uncle." Meng Changqing said, "This place is dangerous, you should go back to Liangzhou Mansion."

"This is disgusting to say. I have seen many more dangerous situations than this moment." Wei Fangyun said, "But I do have to go back."

"I'm in charge of Liangzhou Prefecture, and Xiaocai didn't dare to move." He raised his hand and grabbed the cotton-padded jacket that Meng Changqing was wearing outside his official uniform, "Changqing, you have to pay attention to your sword without eyes."

"Meng Changqing sends you to Mr. Futai."

Wei Fangyun and his bodyguards had just walked away, when another dozen Jiewan barbarians came outside the city wall.

Meng Changqing knew that these people came intermittently, just waiting for them to gather together and serve as the vanguard for the Yan army.

Only the one hundred soldiers of his own will definitely be killed by them.So she ordered that each group withdraw one guard, and 600 people plus pro-army troops were responsible for taking turns resisting the attack of the barbarians outside the city.

Other guards work normally.

But it's not like the people and guards couldn't hear the noise. They knew that enemy troops were coming.

After hearing this news, no one was not afraid.

Meng Changqing asked Bafang to use her long hemp rope to measure the distance. Bafang came back and said that at full height, it was still four miles away from the Hongjia County city wall, and at half height, it was still three miles away from Hongjia County. .

Four miles, 2000 meters.

Not far away, success is at hand.

As long as the thunderbolts sent tomorrow morning are available in time, and as long as thirty of the forty are effective, she might be able to hold on to the 2000-meter gap.

"Brother." Zeng Laosan ran into the pothole, "Brother! Why are you still sleeping!"

"If you can't go home today, what are you going to do if you don't sleep?"

"Oops! There are Yan troops coming outside, can you still sleep?" Zeng Laosan said anxiously: "Look at this cave, who else is sleeping besides you?"

Boss Zeng sat up suddenly, "Hurry up and pack the package. Did your sister-in-law hear the letter?"

"Don't take them away. It's useless to take them away. The guards are watching outside and they can't leave at all." Zeng Laosan said, "Even if we run away, we still won't be able to get in to Yangmen County and we will still die."

"You are young and don't know that the guarding soldiers may not be of the same mind as the officials." Boss Zeng said, "Listen to me and carry the package on your back first. If there is a chance, we will run away, even if it is to hide in the mountains. , it’s better than waiting to die here.”

Zeng Laosan was obedient and carried the package on his back like his brother.

As soon as I exited the cave, I heard the guard say: "Get in line."

"The county master has sent word to let you know the current situation. The Yan army will attack soon. A few Yan troops have arrived outside the city. But don't worry, they have been killed by the county master's soldiers.

The county master tells you not to panic. Troops from Hongjia County and Weishan County have gathered in Yangmen County. Once the Yan army attacks the city, they will come immediately to fight.

What you have to do now is to hurry up and build the city wall.

Looking back, of the dozens of miles of city wall, only this gap is left in front of us. This is all your contribution. As long as the city wall is completed, the prefect of Liangzhou will definitely reward you.

You must not escape privately. If you encounter the defenders coming for reinforcements, they will probably kill you as spies of the Yan army. "

Boss Zeng broke out in a cold sweat. Hearing this, the guard had no intention of escaping.

The guard pointed to the figure on the wall, "Look, the county master is still standing on the wall. Everyone has their hearts in their hearts, and they will do whatever they want."

The guards drove them back to the pit to sleep, but no one could sleep.

Someone moved to Boss Zeng and asked softly: "Shu, you are very experienced in calculations. What should we do now?"

"There is no way. If the guards are not of the same mind as us, then it will be useless for us to run away." Boss Zeng analyzed, "Just like what he said just now, if he encounters the defenders, he will definitely be killed by them."

"How about we find a way to persuade the guards." Someone suggested, "Didn't a guard get transferred? There are only two outside now, let's persuade them."

"Nonsense!" Boss Zeng said, "If you really say it's okay to move, I'm afraid the guards don't have that intention at all. Aren't you asking for trouble?"

"We have to find a way." Someone said, "We won't all die here."

"Everyone should bring their belongings with them," said Boss Zeng. "If none of the guards rebel, we will have no choice but to take advantage of the chaos and run to the nearest mountain."
