She Is Not a Witch

There was a sky-high flame from the distant sky, but there were still not many people on the streets in Luojing City, and more soldiers were patrolling with torches.

When the army attacked the city, a strict curfew system was implemented in the city, just to fear that someone would take advantage of the chaos to do evil and cause large-scale chaos.

After the new king gave the order, the defenders in the city took action, which made the streets noisy.

When the watchman with the gong beat the gong to tell the time, he also shouted the current recruitment policy, promised a lot of money, if someone wanted to go out and shouted immediately, the patrolling sergeant would come to confirm his identity and strength, and then sign a painting to accompany the army Take them away, after arriving at the camp, someone will naturally come to organize them and distribute weapons and simple armor.

At this moment, in front of the Yefu mansion, apart from the occasional noise from afar, the place is rather quiet. The red-scaled halberd guards stood neatly holding torches, just when the general lost his patience and was about to let someone break the door, Finally someone came out.

"Squeak—" After the door was pushed open, an old man walked out with his family and servants, and faced the general outside the door.

"My lord, this old man is the steward of the mansion. I don't know why he came here late at night." Although the people in the Ye mansion roughly guessed the purpose of these people's visit, they still asked cautiously.

"Hmph, it's so procrastinating." Surrounded by his personal guards, the general stepped forward, then took out the imperial decree written by Huang Juan in his hand, and began to read it out. The city, and listed the minimum number of people that each family must leave.

"Your Majesty wants to recruit a thousand people? This is... how can there be such a number of family guards in Yefu today." The housekeeper said in embarrassment while holding his sweaty forehead.

They expected to send about 400-500 people before, and if they sent 1,000 people, it would be a waste of money for the family.

"If you don't have enough, you can use your clansmen. Now that the enemy is at hand, the Ye family should also contribute." The general said nonchalantly. He knows these aristocratic families, and they all like to hoard supplies and hide their personnel. Don't look at each of them being honest and low-key, but if you really want to take them out, you will definitely surprise others.

As the saying goes, you have a thousand plans, I have a wall ladder, and the thoughts and plans discussed by everyone in the Ye family have long been expected by the ministers of the court. Who can achieve that position, which one is easy to do.

As a result, the housekeeper couldn't be the master, so Zhi had to ask someone to quickly notify the Patriarch in the backyard and the upper echelons of the Yefu.

Seeing the servants who sent the letter run so fast, the general looked contemptuously, snorted coldly, and didn't bother, but asked someone to put a half-person-high incense cauldron in front of the mansion. There is freshly lit incense sticking in the incense cauldron, if the incense is burned and the Ye Mansion is not ready yet, it will be asked about its sins.

Judging from the burning rate of the incense, it is estimated that it will burn out within five minutes. It can be said that the time is quite tight. After all, there is a **** battle at the north wall, and the temporary recruitment of these red-scaled halberd guards is also facing great pressure. , the number of people will not be enough at that time, but they will go up in person. This cannot be solved by bribery with money, it will have to be desperate.

"My lord, the Patriarch of the Ye family is here." Just as the general turned his back, looked at the flames in the distant sky, and speculated about the battle situation there, a personal guard came to him and whispered in his ear.

"Oh." As he said that, the tall general turned around and looked at the courtyard of the Yefu. A handsome man in his twenties and thirties led a large group of people in black shirts towards the gate of the mansion.

"Xia Yezhen is the head of the current Ye Palace, and my lord is the general of the Red Scaled Army." He behaved decently and politely, walked forward to speak without humility.

"Exactly." Although he didn't like people from these aristocratic families a little bit, but at this moment, the general didn't talk nonsense and made things difficult, and went straight to the point.

"How many people have you mobilized now, and immediately follow up. Don't worry about weapons and armor. Luo Jing's arsenal is fully equipped, and there are all kinds of firearms that are easy to operate."

"Your Majesty has asked someone to notify the various houses in the mansion. The personnel will be called soon. Please wait a moment, the general. It's just..."

"Just what?" The general raised his brows, seemingly unhappy.

"It's just that my Ye Mansion also needs to leave a small number of people to guard it, otherwise the orphans and widows will be really unsafe." Ye Zhen said simply.

"Heh, I'm orphaned and widowed now, claiming to be weak." He looked coldly at the head of the Ye family. Normally, he wouldn't dare to offend such a powerful family, but today is different, so what if he offends? They still dared to rebel on the spot.

Seeing that the scene was about to reach a stalemate, an old man in the Yefu walked out and came before the fire.

"My lord, please calm down. We all know that the situation tonight is extremely urgent, and we have no intention of appeasing ourselves. It's just that the population of Yefu is dying, and it is not as prosperous as other aristocratic families..." As he said, the people behind him Several servants brought several large boxes forward, and then put them on the ground with a thud, making a heavy echo.

Listening to the crisp echoes of collisions inside the box, the sergeants present changed a little, and then the box was opened, revealing that it was full of golden light, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

These two boxes, all of which are piled with golden bird and dragon dishes made by the dynasty, are shaped like miniature bowls, and inside are delicate and beautiful swimming dragons that are slowly engraved like life, and now they emit a charming halo under the firelight, while The breath of the dragon veins coming from it is also exceptionally pure, it is the official work of the dynasty, not a counterfeit product from some remote places.

In such a big box, there may be as many as 100,000 gold dishes piled up, which is about one billion copper dime coins, which is a huge amount of money that the people present will not be able to earn in several lifetimes.

"We also know the righteousness, but the people in our family are withering, and we can't make up the number of people. We can only make up for it with cheap and despicable money, so that the adults can use it to recruit more talents and bravery, so as to enrich the power of defending the city. I hope you will forgive me." The old man's voice was earnest and compassionate, tears streaming down his face, and his words also brought many people behind him to tears.

Although the general knew that these must have elements of acting, but he couldn't move his eyes away from the golden dishes all over the side.

Humans have desires, even he does, why joining the army is just to seek a future. I was born in a poor family, and even if I was promoted to a general, the income is quite rich, but it is not enough for the many juniors who need to be supported. There was not much left, and now facing the huge amount of wealth that he would never be able to obtain in his lifetime, even this general with strict discipline could not help but breathe heavily.

He closed his eyes a little, took a deep breath, then opened them, looked at the soldiers behind him and at the side, and saw that one or two of them were about to burst into flames, and he knew that if he didn't accept it today, he might not accept it in the future. I want to continue to sit in this position.

What's more, the big battle is about to be faced, and it is the time to employ people. If mutiny and resentment in the camp are triggered at this time, there may be big problems on the battlefield.

Blocking people's money is like killing their parents. Although this is indeed vulgar, sometimes it is very close to the truth. Everyone wants to live a good life, and live a better and more comfortable life. Then, the lucky person today, why can't it be me? .

Thousands of thoughts raced through his mind, and this general convinced himself in an instant.

He looked at the soldiers beside him, "You guys, go and check."

"Since Yefu understands righteousness so well, we have to think carefully..." Seeing this general agree, the sergeants behind him were also overjoyed. Dish is also a huge sum of money.

Time passed quickly, and when the two incense sticks were burned, this team of people finally left Yefu's house, and there were more than 300 servants and guards in Yefu who followed them, but these people were very strong. It's average, and it looks like selected cannon fodder.

Seeing that general leaving with a long team, everyone in Yefu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but many of them immediately felt heartbroken, after all, this money was a huge blow to Yefu.

"Don't be distressed, saving your life is the most important thing, alas..." the old man in the mansion comforted everyone, and then directed the servants to close the door again, and continued to prepare for the transfer in the future.

In Luojing, there are also aristocratic families like Heyefu who are willing to spend huge sums of money to protect their clansmen, but more aristocratic families still want to rely on their connections in the court or army in the past to escape such responsibilities, or say that the mansion in the mansion Insufficient, either force the superiors of the red-scaled halberd guards to come forward before they are willing to open the door, or stubbornly delay, most of them are not very cooperative.

Seeing the flames of war on the north wall gradually spreading into the city, and even seeing the dragonriders of the two sides fighting and killing each other in the night sky of Luojing, the Red Scaled Halberd Guards who were in charge of recruiting finally couldn't bear to become ruthless.

Some aristocratic and obstinate families who were stubborn and refused to contribute were directly smashed open the gate, and then all the red-scaled halberd guards entered the mansion, directly recruited the people in the mansion, cleaned up the property in the house, smashed it, and if there was any resistance, they even directly Kill.

Although these aristocratic families have extensive connections on weekdays, the Ding Huyuan in the mansion is no match for the elite regular army of the dynasty after all, not to mention the red-scaled halberd guards with excellent military resources and equipment. Now, under the tough and ruthless methods, many aristocratic families have hurriedly awakened , Knowing the harshness of it, they gradually cooperated.

In this way, the operation gradually went smoothly. In just a few hours, more than 100,000 newly recruited combatants, led by veteran defenders in the city, began to equip weapons and went to various intersections under the north wall to continuously reinforce the defense. Set up arrow towers, tall buildings and other places.

Although these newly recruited personnel have extremely poor combat will, and it is difficult to withstand the pressure as the backbone, they can still barely do things such as auxiliary personnel, setting up defense lines, occupying key points and shooting long distances with firearms. , These people can also be used as cannon fodder to slow down the enemy's attack speed and buy time for subsequent reinforcements and replenishment lines.

At this moment, Luo Jing's north wall.

Looking down from the high night sky, the whole of Luojing looks like a huge square. The wide and neat streets divide the buildings in the city into vague grids. In the inner city of the imperial palace, there are tall watchtowers at the four corners, overlooking the four directions.

In the middle of the night, some lights appeared faintly on the originally dark land, converging in the square of Zhongmo Lake, this is the night scene of Luojing, with thousands of lights, the vast soup stretches for tens of miles, and you can't see the end at a glance.

But now the northerly area is much brighter than other areas, and from time to time, extremely delicate flames bloom in it, dispersing and illuminating the night, and fiery red stars float up from the ground, carrying the sound of killing and explosions. To the distant night sky.

Zhuo Fengtong rode on the back of the black and blue dragon, overlooking the huge city shrouded in flames of war and slaughter below, the flames below were reflected in the black eyes, shaking and bright.

Looking at the defense line gradually breaking through at the gap in the city wall, the general in command of the Beifu Army raised high the gilt phoenix wings in his hand and swung them down in the cold night sky.

"Kill—" the voice was short and powerful.

Afterwards, the blue and black giant dragons flapped their wings and swooped down from the sky with the sound of roaring. Under the reflection of the fire, the originally blue and black scales turned white and bright.

Down below, the two sides who were fighting fiercely could only hear the heart-stopping roar of the dragon above their heads, followed by a burst of violent high-altitude air-conditioning blowing past. The flames and the rising green smoke were also shrunk in this cold air flow, depressing the part.

The Golden Armored Dragon Army, who was in a fierce battle with the Beifu army, didn't know what happened, but saw the cold breath sweeping towards him, and then turned into stiff ice one by one, fell down in the cold wind, and turned into broken pieces.

Relying on these northern cold iron dragon cavalry that suddenly descended to open the way, the pressure on the Beifu army that invaded the city disappeared. They immediately started to move forward, followed closely, and gradually expanded the area they occupied in the city, no longer limited to the gap in the north wall. Small block range.

These elite sergeants in silver-scale armor and snow-white cloak held strong shields and long knives, and rushed to each intersection quickly, breaking through some unprepared defenders' defense lines. In the chaos, he was forced to fight in close quarters and became embarrassed.

As the Golden Armored Dragon Army stationed in Luojing, it has always been the emperor's confidant and pro-army. It also has the most advanced and excellent firearms in the dynasty. Unfortunately, it can only be used to defend the city and street battles, which greatly limits the application of many powerful firearms. .

"Damn it, don't care!"

During the chaotic battle, a lieutenant of the Dragon Army watched the soldiers around him being cut down one by one, while those Beifu soldiers with silver scales and white armor rushed forward layer by layer, showing their will to die and resignation, and then, regardless of the pain, he Kicking away the soldiers of the Beifu army in front of him, he used his right arm to block the long knife cut in the air, and then took a few steps forward to the place where the firearms were piled up on the side of the intersection.

A few seconds later~www.readwn.com~ a burst of dazzling flashes bloomed, and the flames rushed to the surrounding alleys and streets, and smoke of Mars rose tens of meters high in the night sky, and then the loud noise was heard in Luojing spread the word.

Under such an explosion, not only the attacking Beifu army and soldiers defending the city, but also dozens of closed-door households around them were turned into a sea of ​​flames and ruins, and there were endless wailing sounds.

After this loud noise, as if a signal had been sent, all kinds of violent noises and dazzling flames began to resound from the battle front in the city.

Facing the tremendous pressure of the attack, the Golden Armored Dragon Army in the city did not care about harming innocent people with their firearms. All kinds of rocket vans that looked like honeycombs were ignited, and thousands of dazzling arrows disappeared with a shrill howling sound. Open up the atmosphere, leave a long trail of afterimages in the night sky, and then explode with a bang.

Some of these explosive arrows landed on the heads of the attacking Beifu army soldiers, and some rushed into the homes of ordinary people. All kinds of horrified and wailing cries were intertwined in the night's tearing and explosions, giving this flowery Luo Jing Put on a layer of compassion.

The rise and fall of dynasties, the change of world affairs, are always full of tears for the common people.
