The villain and traitor is my brother

Chapter 74 Resisting the Enemy
If Zheng Qiuyun regrets anything now, it is that he does not have an official position.Sicang gave her face and was willing to listen to her suggestions.If Sicang made his own decision, then nothing she said would matter.

Now that the magistrate is dead and reinforcements don't know when they will arrive, Sicang is unwilling to make any more unnecessary struggles.He asked the officers and soldiers on the city wall to shout that he wanted to talk to the leader of the Chrysalis people.

The city gates were wide open, and soldiers from both sides were ready.Sicang rode forward, and to show his sincerity, he threw the sharp weapon in his hand to the ground.

"Master Wumu, Linjiang County is willing to surrender, but you must promise not to kill anyone in my county."

Wu Mu drove his horse close to him and circled him, "Okay, if Master Sicang can kill himself here, I will believe that you are sincerely surrendering, and naturally you will not embarrass the people in your city."

After that, he handed over a short blade in his hand with a provocative expression, "Lord Sicang, you are not deliberately lying to me and pretending to surrender, are you? Or are you just trying to keep yourself alive, and thinking about the people is just your excuse."

Sicang is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is afraid that after his death, Wu Mu will still not let go of the people in the city, so he will not die in peace.

"My lord, please wait a moment. I will tell my family some news about my death."

Sicang rode his horse to the staff, said a few words to him, and then handed him the military talisman in his hand.The staff member looked shocked, Sicang shook his head and told him to keep quiet.

Then, he drove his horse to the battlefield, "There is no evidence for what he said, and I asked Master Wumu to put down a written statement."

Wu Mu took the paper, quickly wrote a line of words, and handed it over, "Sicang better not waste time, we have to take over Linjiang County later."

Sicang gave the promise written by Wu Mu to his staff and stopped talking nonsense.He suddenly fell from his horse, rolled twice, and landed in front of Ebony's horse.

Before he died, he heard Wu Mu riding a horse and walked past him, and said lightly, "Of course I don't want to kill your people. But our soldiers have been fighting for so long. If I don't have property and beautiful women, how can I reward them?" them?"

Sicang wanted to open his mouth to stop him, but he was speechless and could only end with hatred.

Ebony sat up straight and shouted: "Enter the city!"

They unarmed the officers and soldiers in the city and tied them up as prisoners.Then Wu Mu gave an order, "Soldiers, this is the county we have conquered. If there are any beauties with property you like, please enjoy it to your heart's content."

The tied soldiers struggled hard, and anyone who resisted was immediately killed by the Chrysalis.

The staff had already galloped to find Zheng Qiuyun and presented the military talisman, "Master Sicang asked me to hand over the military talisman to you, and the people of Linjiang County will entrust it to the girl."

"Where's Master Sicang?"

"To show his sincerity in surrender, Lord Sicang committed suicide."

Zheng Qiuyun didn't have time to think too much, "How many people are available now?"

"In addition to the [-] soldiers Zheng Wenping took away, there are also [-] soldiers defending the city, all at the girl's disposal."

"Let them evacuate the people and gather the people together!"

Zheng Qiuyun called Sun Peng, "The situation is critical now. Ask the people you usually train. If someone wants to escape, don't force it. If someone wants to defend Linjiang County, follow me and fight the enemy!"

"Yes."

Time was running out, Zheng Qiuyun only had time to gather some of the people together, and the people near the city gate suffered unforeseen disasters.

Wu Mu led the soldiers inside, and something became more and more strange as they walked inside. Except for the people at the city gate, it turned out to be an empty city inside.There were vegetable leaves on the street that had not been cleaned in time, and there was no trace of anyone.

"Everyone should be more careful."

They stepped up their vigilance, and soon they saw people fleeing in a hurry, and Wu Mu asked people to catch them.

The ones who escaped were a few people from Yejiacun and Zhou families, but they were unwilling to fight with Zheng Qiuyun.After being caught, they told everything they knew.

"Zheng Qiuyun has known for a long time that you are going to attack, so she has stocked up a lot of food." "Not only that, she has asked the villagers to practice martial arts several years in advance and has been preparing."

"By the way, she also asked the villagers to put on the clothes of officers and soldiers to defend the city."

"Also, she sent people to burn down your granary. The person who died was Li Youzhi from Zhutian Village."

"Sir, look at what we have said, can you let us go?"

Ebony asked people to take them down and sell them as slaves later.He asked the deputy general again, "What's the name of the village Wu Tu went to before?"

The deputy general looked at the map and said, "Zhutian Village."

Wu Mu looked forward, and there was still an empty street in front of him.He was not convinced, "They are just some rabble, what can they do to me, just keep moving forward."

Further forward, only a hundred meters away, arrows shot out of the windows of the house.And it is very powerful and can penetrate people.

"Lord Wutu, this is probably a crossbow."

These people ran away after shooting the arrows. When the man came into the house to check, there was no one inside.

The spiders looked at each other, "Why does it smell so strong?"

Then, the arrows were filled with fire and shot into the house.The house was on fire, and some of the people inside ran out, while others were still trapped inside. The scene was very chaotic.

"Stay calm and be prepared."

This time Wu Mu sent people to explore the road ahead to make sure nothing was missed before their army continued to move forward.Everything went smoothly in the front. When they were approaching the state government office, Wu Mu asked someone to go in first to check. There was nothing abnormal inside, so Wu Mu dared to go in with confidence.

After the impact of those arrows, Wu Mu did not dare to let the soldiers go to the farmer's house at will.He ordered the soldiers to go to the military camp to rest first, and then cheer up and get rid of the rabble.

The army was marching through a mountain forest, and without knowing what the movement was, they heard a rumbling sound, and huge rocks suddenly rolled down the mountain.They fled in a hurry, and arrows were shot out of the jungle.Those people just ran away after shooting the arrows. When they checked again, no one was there.

When they successfully arrived at the entrance of the military camp, the flags in front of the military camp were fluttering in the wind, and it was extremely quiet inside.After the previous two ambushes, they did not dare to go in casually.

There was really no other way, so the deputy general sent out a team of men, "You go in first to check."

Those people were also very frightened and entered the military camp in high spirits, and then they never came out again.The deputy general was very strange. He sent out another team of troops, but they didn't come out again.

He made his own decision, "Go back and ask Lord Ebony for instructions."

When they returned, the road between the two mountains was blocked by huge rocks.They had to climb mountains.As a result, when they arrived at the state government office, they found that their ebony master was missing, and lying on the ground was the corpse of the man.

A note was left on the government office desk, "Exit outside the city gate to save your general."

Everyone looked at the lieutenant general's intention. The lieutenant general said: "Even if we withdraw, they will definitely not let Master Wumu go. Soldiers, are you willing to listen to my command?"

There were many leaders down there, and they looked at each other, but no one said anything.

Until Wudan cursed, "Who do you think you are? I will follow Lord Wumu to the death!"

Someone else laughed and said, “It’s better to listen to your command than to listen to my command.”
