In the county office, after receiving the news from the guards, the flustered Magistrate Cui couldn't care less about his image, and exclaimed in front of the big family in the county: "What did you say? The enemy attacked the city, and the Nangong county lieutenant died? "
Rebel sieges are nothing new, not to mention that they can be encountered every year, anyway, there will always be a wave in three to five years, and everyone has long been used to it.
But the battle has just begun, and the county captain in charge of the city defense has received a lunch box, which is extraordinary.
"Yes, my lord. The fat man who is the leader of the rebel army is very powerful. He shot three arrows at a distance of 500 meters, and shot and killed Nangong Xiaowei, Zhou Qianhu and Liu Qianhu at the same time, and seriously injured Tong Baihu and Duan. Sima."
The guard's words once again poured a basin of cold water on everyone. Although these officers are not experts, they are also rare military talents, at least they can be regarded as good generals in this three-acre area of ??Longshan County.
It is definitely a major blow to the next defense of the city.
After calming down, County Magistrate Cui glanced at the crowd and said: "Everyone, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope now. Everyone's family property is in the city. If the rebels break the city, none of us will be able to please.
? At this critical time of life and death, I hope that everyone can help each other and work together to defend Longshan County. "
Although the family business is not all in the city, the county town is where everyone's foundation lies. Since entering the troubled times, everyone has tacitly moved the castle into the county town and huddled together to keep warm.
The Great Zhou Empire has gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes. The era of small fish eating shrimp is over, and now it has entered the era of big fish eating small fish.
Once the small family loses its foundation, it is only a matter of time before it is eaten. If you look at the county towns that were breached by the rebels, you will know that the lives of the local native families are miserable.
After the rebels passed one hand, everyone's property became ownerless, and the next step is to use their own means, and whoever grabs it will belong to him.
?How can a small family who is already seriously injured compete with the big family in the county? If there are children who are officials outside, it¡¯s okay, everyone will give them some face; if there is no one in the court, the fate waiting for them is to be wiped out.
A large part of the fighters in the rebel army are from small families that have fallen. The reason why everyone goes against Zhou is to get back what they have lost.
"Master County Magistrate, my Chen family is willing to"
Before Chen's family could finish speaking, a loud "boom" was heard, the ground began to tremble, and the tiles on the roof were also falling off non-stop.
Caught off guard, County Magistrate Cui, who was born as a civil servant, dropped a piece of shit, knocking out two of his front teeth. What is even more tragic is that a pot of tea fell from the coffee table and gave him a hot bath.
Everyone was dumbfounded by the sudden change. After reacting, everyone immediately stepped forward to help the sad magistrate Cui.
It's just that the fighting spirit that everyone finally brought up has been tossed away, and pessimistic emotions are constantly brewing indoors.
In order to calm people's hearts, Cui County Magistrate ignored his own injuries and said calmly: "Everyone, take people to defend the city immediately!
?The protective formation has been broken, and we can only do our best, so I will take the official seal and go up the city wall with everyone.
?It is a heinous crime that I cannot protect the environment and the people by entrusting the emperor's order to guard the side. Now that the rebel army is attacking the city, I can only fight with my life to repay the emperor's favor!
'The city is alive and the people are alive, but the city is dead and the people are dead! '
Today, the official will live and die with Longshan County, please help me! "
Although Cui County Magistrate tried his best to show tragic and heroic, it is a pity that all the old foxes in front of him are not so easy to fool.
An official who is busy collecting money all day wants to talk about serving the court with his death, no matter how you look at it, it is ridiculous.
'The city is alive and the people are alive, but the city is dead and the people are dead! '
It's okay to use such slogans to fool ordinary people. Anyone with a little knowledge knows that this is the basic operation of Dazhou officials.
Lost the city and lost the land, if he didn't die in battle, and the court asked about the crime, it would be unlucky for the whole family.
Don't expect to run away, there are many ways to find people in this world. A court official disappeared, and the government will definitely track it down. Under the entanglement of cause and effect, it is not difficult to find people.
There is still a glimmer of life if you work hard, but you will die if you don't work hard. The difference is only in the death of one, or the death of the whole family.
After all, weak scholars who can mobilize the power of the national destiny to fight are also lethal. Although he was in Krypton, but receiving Da Zhou's salary, he must have the awareness of sacrifice.
Knowing that County Magistrate Cui was going to pull everyone to their deaths, everyone still dared not refuse. The Great Zhou Empire doesn't have many contracts with the top families and giants., Preserving strength is the first priority. Fan Fei has no other choice, and everyone is reluctant to use their own strength to fight for Da Zhou.
Patriarch Chen on the side suggested: "There are not many rebels outside the city, why don't we concentrate our troops to fight out and defeat the rebels first.
Maybe it can still deter the enemy, maybe the other rebels will not dare to come. The danger of the county is solved easily! "
Patriarch Duan behind him hastily interrupted: "Brother Chen, this matter must never happen. According to reports from Malai, there are still a large number of rebels gathered ten miles away.
Now the tens of thousands of people outside the city are more likely to be bait deliberately released by the enemy to lure us out of the city on purpose.
Although the protective array is gone now, at least there are still walls guarding the city. As long as the gaps are covered, it will not be easy for the enemy to attack the city.
It will be different once you go out of the city to fight. Maybe if we fight at the east gate, the enemy will come in from the west.
?Since ancient times, sieges have been surrounded by three and one is missing. Have you heard that one besieged and one is missing three? This unreasonable approach is definitely not a coincidence.
If the rebel army can think of a way to break the formation, there must be a big force behind it. We must not act rashly and fall into the tricks of the enemy. "
While speaking, several people even glanced at Elder Wang from the corner of their eyes. If Longshan County is destroyed here, the most likely to profit is the Wang family.
Once everyone is finished, relying on the influence of the Wang family in the county, swallowing the biggest piece of fat is almost an inevitable result.
? Although the family land was destroyed, it hurt reputation and lost face; but in the face of interests, there is nothing that cannot be compromised.
The bloody battle continued. Although Li Mu deliberately suppressed the siege and waited for the allies to join, the battle did not stop.
People keep falling down, and people keep making up. The fact that the army did not collapse was entirely due to the supervising team.
The speculators who mixed into the team worked hard to drive their subordinates forward. Cannon fodder is worthless, as long as the county can be breached, some sacrifices are not worth mentioning at all.
There was fierce fighting on the city wall, and there was a lot of shouting and killing inside the city. The billowing smoke continued to rise, as if telling endless pain in the blood and fire.
The wait didn't last long, maybe everyone was too excited, or maybe it was because the defenders were worried about repairing the formation, and people from all walks of life arrived at the city soon.
With the addition of new forces, all directions were surrounded, and the siege battle became more and more bloody.
At this time, the ranks of the rebel army became more and more chaotic, and Li Mu, the temporary commander, had no binding force on the various people who joined halfway.
To sum it up: you hit yours, I hit mine. From where to attack, it all depends on everyone's mood.
The art of war and tactics are completely redundant. Now everyone has only one goal: to break through the county in front of them and get in to make a fortune.
Many ants kill elephants, not to mention the defenders are far from being elephants. Facing a steady stream of insurgents, the city defenses were finally breached.
