Fast Traveling Underworld Wish Department

Chapter 26
Ping'an Prefecture is the barrier to the south of Daping, and it is adjacent to the barbarian country next door. Basically, residents of the two countries may easily cross the border of other countries.

The two countries are close to each other, trade and exchanges are smooth, and the people of the two countries get along harmoniously. Daping and the barbarian country have always been countries of friendship.

However, no one expected that this friendly country would come to take advantage of the great peace, and caught Wang Dawei off guard.

There was a rain of arrows under the city, and the soldiers attacking the city braved the rain of arrows and rushed forward pushing the siege equipment. The soldiers on the city rushed to report and organized people to defend the city.

Scattered arrows were shot at each other, and the lethality was very limited.The soldiers looked at the gap between the enemy and ourselves, and their will to fight was very weak.Wang Dawei went up to the city wall himself to boost morale and take the lead in killing the enemy.

Under the leadership of the commander, the Daping army that was suddenly attacked gradually calmed down, and the counterattack became stronger, killing many barbarian soldiers under the city.

The first wave of attack finally passed, Wang Dawei said: "Let the soldiers take the time to rest, it is expected that they will make a comeback soon."

Sure enough, soon the barbarians started their second round of attack again.Compared with the first round of testing, this round of attacks was more severe. The city was struggling to defend the city, but all the soldiers knew in their hearts that they would not be able to defend this situation for long.

After attacking for a while, the barbarian soldiers retreated. Before the people in the city could cheer, they saw the barbarians driving the common people captured outside the city into the city and using them as shields and cannon fodder.Of course, they hope that Daping will take a fancy to these people and surrender without a fight.

The common people are like livestock, being pushed forward involuntarily.Young and strong, women, old people, and children cried out, begging for mercy from the barbarians, and begging for help from the city.Death was so close to them, death was at hand.

"Save us!"

"Forgive us!"

"Save the child!"

Wang Dawei was furious, "You bastards, if you have the ability to fight with me in an upright manner, what's the point of hiding behind?"

The other side was silent, and the general was still complacent about his plan, thinking that he would be able to eat in the city soon.

Facing the people, the soldiers were tied up, neither able to save them nor have the heart to kill them.They are all their own people, and their relatives are even serving as soldiers in the city. Who can make a move?Being able to resist opening the city gate is the result of rational suppression.

The battle was stalemate for 3 days, and every time the barbarian country used Daping civilians to attack the city, the soldiers in the city could only fight back with their hands tied, and their morale gradually declined.

What's more, the equipment of the soldiers in the city is not good, and the food and pay have been short for a long time. If it weren't for Wang Dawei's leadership, the soldiers would have abandoned the city and fled long ago, and there is no benefit in helping Daping fight.

Two days later, there were only 5000 soldiers left out of the 3000 soldiers. The soldiers' faces were full of confusion, not knowing where their future was, let alone whether the battle should continue.

No matter how careful the soldiers in the city were, they killed many Daping people in order to fight back against the enemy. They were all Daping people, but they were not rescued by the Daping soldiers!
The guard said: "General, how about we withdraw? Further inside is Gaoning, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Let's withdraw there."

Wang Dawei wiped the blood from his face and said solemnly: "No. Ping'an Prefecture is the gateway to the south of Daping. If it is lost, it will be equivalent to giving up Ning Province in the west, Hexi Province, and Hedong Province in the east to the Barbarian State. . Even if they had taken a detour from Hexi to the north, they would have been the sinners of Daping."

The personal guard said anxiously: "General, I have received news that the capital has fallen, and the five northern provinces have all belonged to the rebels. Daping is about to perish. It is not worth it for the general to stick to Ping'an Prefecture."

Wang Dawei was taken aback, "Did Daping die?"

The guard nodded.

"Has the capital fallen?"

The guard nodded.

Wang Dawei felt a pain in his heart. His family members were all in the capital. What should he do now?I don’t know if my mother and wife were harmed, or if my family members were killed by the rebels?
Wang Dawei also became confused.

Qin Wei said: "General, let's withdraw, so that the green hills will be left without worrying about no firewood. We can fight these barbarians after we have recuperated in Gao Ning."

"It's not good, general, the east gate can't be guarded anymore." A messenger shouted out of breath.

Wang Dawei grabbed the messenger and asked urgently: "What's going on? Why can't the east gate be defended? Where is Yang Yin?"

The summoning soldier cried and said: "General, the rich men in the city brought their servants to attack General Yang, while the barbarians outside are still desperately attacking the city, General Yang can't stand it anymore."

Wang Dawei walked towards the east gate with big strides, his heart was burning up, this group of bastards, the soldiers were fighting bloody battles, they were lucky, they actually dragged their feet behind.

Wang Dawei said: "Everyone has their knives in hand, anyone who wants to surrender will have his head cut off, we will see who doesn't want to live."

The east gate arrived soon, and I saw a group of servants attacking the gatekeepers with brooms, farm tools, kitchen knives and the like. The soldiers had to defend the city and avoid attacks from behind. Yang Yin was escorting a group of gentlemen and talking about something.

Wang Dawei's eyes were good, and he saw that the leader seemed to be Mr. Qian, a Jinshi in the city. Mr. Qian used to be an official and became the secretary of the transfer department, but he was later dismissed because of a crime, but he still has great influence in Ping'an Prefecture.

Walking closer, Wang Dawei heard Yang Yin's voice.

Yang Yin said: "Master Qian, you are not familiar with raising barbarians. Even if you let them in, they will definitely not let you go. Master Qian, you have to think carefully."

Master Qian and the others remained unmoved, even with the knife on their necks, they still clamored for the servants to attack the soldiers, opened the city gates, and welcomed the barbarians in.

Seeing Wang Dawei approaching, Yang Yin was full of murderous aura, and quickly called out: "General."

Master Qian and others became even more arrogant when they saw Wang Dawei coming.

Master Qian said: "General Wang, General Yang is not sensible, you should be sensible. You are playing with the lives of the soldiers by defending the city with all your might. As long as you open the door, as the barbarian country has said, no one in the city will be hurt."

Wang Dawei sneered and said: "They also said that they have been friends with me Daping for generations, so this is still calling in."

Master Qian said: "No, this is different. You also know that Daping is failing now. The emperor is stupid and the people are living in hardship. The Barbarian Kingdom is here to save the people of Daping and establish the Barbarian Kingdom Co-Prosperity Sphere."

Master Qian wiped away the tears that were finally squeezed out of his old eyes and said, "For the sake of the people of Daping, I am willing to go to the barracks of the barbarian country in person and bring a token of their commander."

There was a scream, and Wang Dawei turned his head to see that a soldier had been chopped down by the servant's kitchen knife, and the soldiers next to him stopped him, but the servant refused to let go and wanted to continue chopping.Wang Dawei simply stopped talking nonsense, picked up the knife, and slashed at Master Qian.

Master Qian's pupils shrank sharply, and before he could say anything, his head fell off.
