The Three Kingdoms Of The North Are Proud And Heroic

At the east gate of Lingzhi County, it was already night, whether inside or outside the city, it should have been quiet and lonely, but it was destined to be as normal today. Although the city is darkly lit, there are all kinds of movements in the streets and alleys, teams of volunteers are running around, many people are reinforcing the doors and windows, and the barking of noisy dogs in the depths of the alleys is indispensable, adding a bit of anxiety to this turbulent moment.

Just outside the East City Gate, the firelight is everywhere, and the voices of people are boiling.

In the evening, the rogue army that wandered here from Yangshan had already occupied the official roads, post stations and markets outside the eastern city, and many villages and towns on the outskirts of the eastern city were completely allowed to pass through the locusts, and all that could be robbed was robbed, and all that could be destroyed was destroyed, leaving only a mess.

As early as the afternoon, many people from outside the city took refuge in the south of the city. If you have relatives who can still rely on you, you can breathe a sigh of relief at this time. And the homeless can only huddle in the streets and alleys, hoping that this catastrophe will pass sooner, and it is better to wait until tomorrow after dawn, when the outcasts outside the city have receded, and they can go out of the city and go home, even if their homes are destroyed, as long as there are still bricks and tiles to accommodate them, everything will be fine again.

Wang Xianjun of Lingzhi County walked out of the ox cart, and under the escort of more than a dozen armored guards, he hurriedly climbed the East City Gate Tower. Above the castle tower, the county government soldiers and the volunteers who were preparing for thieves all hid behind the battlements with grim expressions, vigilantly staring at the noisy situation below. Lingzhi County, a small county town town building is simple, the city wall is not only old and slender, but also very low, I am afraid that these rogues will be excited for a while, desperate to start attacking the city gate.

The fire is ghostly, and the reflected figures are like ghosts, and it is not clear for a while how many rogues there are. Looking at it from the extreme, I only feel that the entire official road is full of wolves and tigers with bad intentions, and it is conservatively estimated that there are more than 500 people.

Wang Xianjun could only hear the commotion outside the city, and half of his modest courage had been frightened. He let the two armorers stand in front of him, and he dared to move forward a little, but his fat body didn't dare to lean too far forward. When he saw that the outcasts outside the city were so powerful, he suddenly felt his head buzz, and he couldn't stop his legs from trembling.

"No... Isn't it that there are only more than 200 people, this, how can there be so many?

"My lord, there were already more than 300 people in this group of rogues when they arrived in Yangshan, and they came all the way to the west, and there were many innocents coerced. Nowadays, among the crowd under the city, there are even many people who are natives of Lingzhi West. In the afternoon, the eastern suburbs were invaded by the rogues, and many people were homeless, and they were all mixed with the gangsters at this time. "Behind Wang Xianjun, in addition to the county government director, there is also Cao Tianxian, the county meritorious. At this time, it was Tian Xian who replied.

"This, this... How can this be? There are only more than 300 volunteers and conscripts in this county, if the city is robbed of the city gate, how can we resist? Wang Xianjun's forehead was sweating like beads, and he was so panicked that he couldn't do it.

The kings of a county are shaken like this, and whether it is the guards or the brave around, they are even more chilled.

Tian Xian was anxious in his heart, he knew Wang Xianjun very well, so when he was in the county government, he tried his best to dissuade Wang Xianjun from inspecting the East City Gate, which was good, not only failed to boost morale, but also let everyone present witness his panic and panic, which greatly hit morale, isn't this really a disappointment?

"Don't panic, my lord, this morning I have already sent someone to Xu Wuxian to ask for help, maybe wait another day, Xu Wu's reinforcements will arrive." In order to stabilize morale, Tian Xian hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes? How many people will come to Xu Wuxian? Wang Xianjun seemed to remember that there seemed to be such a thing, and his heart was slightly relieved, and he turned to ask.

"This, the lowly position is not clear now. But no matter how many people come to help, it will definitely not be bad. Tian Xian said with some embarrassment, he is not from Xu Wuxian, how can he know how many people Xu Wuxian will send to help!

"Earlier, when Xu Wuxian's ancestral family came to our county to beg for thieves, did Lord Wang have a misunderstanding with them, and I don't know if this matter will affect the relationship between the two counties?" On the side, the county master said worriedly.

Tian Xian hated it so much, all of these adults in their thirties and forties were as ignorant as children at this time, really which pot was not opened and which pot was not opened, lest people's hearts be loose enough?

"Yes, I almost forgot about this stubble, this, this, what can I do about it? What can I do about it? Wang Xianjun fell into a state of confusion again, repenting in his heart, knowing that he should not have sinned against his ancestors like that today.

"Lord Wang, as the king of a county, how can you be so out of shape in this matter? Even if he offended Xu Wuzu's family at the beginning, what does the friendship between the two counties have to do with his ancestral family? A few days ago, my lord, you just wrote a letter to Xu Wu Chen Xianjun, and this year is ready for thieves, and his lips and teeth are interdependent, even if the ancestral family is unwilling to come forward, how can Chen Xianjun not practice the words of a gentleman? Tian Xian said loudly.

Although he knew that these words might be unfavorable to Zu Zhao, even if they were unfavorable, it would only be for a while, on the contrary, if Zu Zhao really led the team to rush to help as stated in the letter, it would also have a great contrast effect with his own words.

"Right now, I can only hope that Chen Xianjun can fulfill his promise." The master said helplessly.

Wang Xianjun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and immediately did not dare to stay on the city tower any longer.

"I'll go back to the county government first, gather the big families in the county, and see if I can donate another amount of money and food to send this stream of rogues away. Later, Lieutenant Han will lead the defense here, and he will... Let's just leave it at that. After he finished speaking, he hurriedly beckoned more than a dozen armored guards who accompanied him to walk down the city tower together.

At this time, his original stumbling steps seemed so dexterous, and in less than a moment he was already on the ox cart.

Tian Xian did not leave in a hurry, Wang Xianjun's nonsense has been greatly disheartened, before the arrival of Han County, there must be an official on the east city gate, otherwise I am afraid that before the rogue robs the city, the city tower will be in chaos first. He reached the edge of the city wall and looked at the blackened rogues below, the light of the brazier reflected on his cheeks, showing an unprecedented vigilance.

At this time, a captain of the Prepared Thieves Volunteer Captain walked up to Tian Xian, his face was full of worry, and he asked: "Lord Tian, Lord Shicai County said that he would talk to the big families in the city and donate money and food to send away these rogues, you see, can this be done?"

Tian Xian shook his head slowly, his eyes were bright, but his tone was quite embarrassed, and he said, "The plan can't be done." Wouldn't it be said that those big families may not be willing to donate money and food, and even if they can, how can so many rogues in this city be easily dismissed? I see that sooner or later there will be a fierce war.

After listening to Tian Xian's words, the captain's face suddenly fell, and he said in a panic: "Ah? This, this..."

Tian Xian deliberately raised his voice and said solemnly: "Xu Wuxian will definitely come to help."

Even with such sonorous words, it cannot completely relieve the pressure in everyone's hearts.

In the past, Xu Wu and Lingzhi counties did have a precedent of rushing to each other's aid, but the thieves and criminals encountered before were by no means as powerful and critical as today, and the two counties sent reinforcements to each other at most only about 100 people. Even if Xu Wu's reinforcements arrive tomorrow, when he sees the huge situation in front of him, he is afraid that it will not help at all except for being out of reach.
