After shivering for a while, Zhong Qi finally calmed down. He also felt that he was a bit useless now, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, hurry up and inform General Xu, and ask him to gather troops and prepare to meet the enemy." The order went on. Yes, Zhong Qi thought about it, and felt that he couldn't stay here, he wanted to see where these people came from as bandits, if they were strong, it would be fine, defending the city by himself, and driving them away would be a great achievement ,like

If the opponent is weak, I might as well let the officers and soldiers eat them up. No matter what, I am a great achievement.

Of course, Zhong Qi thought a lot, but he never thought about what would happen if the city was breached. In his opinion, these people should be just bandits who came here without much fighting power.With all the yamen servants in the county yamen, and accompanied by the captor Ma Zhoulong, Zhong Qi finally boarded the gate of Nancheng. Many, turned their heads and stared at these gatekeepers

The officers and soldiers glanced at them and shouted angrily: "How do you people do things? Why can't you even guard a city gate? Didn't you say that there are bandits? Where are they?" "This..." The soldiers guarding the gate were also wronged Just now, it was obvious that a team of cavalry passed by here, but they turned back halfway, and at this moment, a corporal guarding the gate said carefully: "Big or small, could those bandits be rushing?"

Did the pier go? ""pier? "Zhong Qi was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the direction of the pier, but because of the distance and the blocked view, he couldn't see what happened there from here. When he was thinking about what the corporal leader said, his face was pale. but suddenly

Surprised, he blurted out: "No, Xiuniang is also at the pier."

Then, regardless of what happened, he hurriedly turned around to find Xu Zhi, and repeatedly ordered: "General Xu, hurry up and gather your troops to the pier, my wife and daughter just came back today, it will be terrible if we meet those bandits. Zhong Qi was in a hurry, but someone was not in a hurry. Xu Zhi, who had already put on his armor, looked at Zhong Qi contemptuously, shook his head slowly and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhong, the order of the last general is to guard the county seat of Wu County." , as for the pier... it's not there

within the jurisdiction of the general. "You..." At such an important moment, this kid actually played tricks on himself, because of anger, Zhong Qi's hands were already shaking, and he even had the idea of ​​kneeling down to beg him, but Seeing Xu Zhi's indifferent expression, Zhong Qi gritted his teeth, and said fiercely: "Well, Xu Zhi, you actually disobeyed the order of this county. After today's incident is over, let's make a new one. Count together, don’t you want to save people? Well, if you don’t go, I will.

"

After finishing speaking, Zhong Qi turned around and shouted: "Ma Tutou, take your men and follow me to the pier to save people."

Hearing Zhong Qi's voice, Ma Zhoulong stood on the wall as if he didn't hear it at all, and stared blankly at the direction outside the city, as if he saw something surprising that attracted him. Normal eyes. "Ma Tutou, let me tell you..." Seeing that Ma Zhoulong didn't listen to him, Zhong Qi became even more angry. He walked up to Ma Zhoulong, grabbed his shoulder, and said a few words just now. A word, I was also suddenly stunned, and my eyes were unbelievable.

Looking at the group of people walking outside the city, a chill suddenly rose from under their feet and spread throughout the body in an instant.

It's over, it's all over now.In sight, a group of people came slowly on the official road leading to the pier. Everyone's waists were connected by thick ropes. The group of people staggered towards the city gate, and beside them was a group of knight with long sword in hand, long sword

There was still bright red blood on it, and it looked like he had killed many people just now.At this moment, a person in the crowd suddenly staggered and fell to the ground, and the speed of the whole team immediately slowed down. Just as the people around him were about to help him up, suddenly a knife was stretched out from the side. fell through

That person's heart didn't even have time to say "ah", and the person had already lost his life.Killing a person is like doing a very ordinary thing. The knight on the horse retracted his knife proudly, looked at the bound people, and shouted loudly: "What are you looking at, why don't you move forward quickly , whoever is lazy, this is your role model."

Chapter 648 Sensational

As if they were frightened by the killing just now and became numb, everyone just glanced at the fallen man, then turned and left as if seeing the plague, and continued to move forward according to the orders of these bandits go.No matter how slow the pace is, there will always be a time to move to a certain place. When there are only two hundred steps left from the city gate, the bandits finally give the order to stop, and the team of hundreds of people is sandwiched between the bandits and the city gate. At this moment, someone among the bandits suddenly jumped

The crowd came out, rode horses and came slowly to the city of Wu County, and shouted at Zhong Qi on the city wall: "Who can be the master on the city wall, stand up and stand up." Under such circumstances, what can be done? Zhong Qi was the only one who became the master. While worrying about the safety of his wife and daughter, he had to endure the panic in his heart. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he could only grit his teeth and lie down

On the gate of the city wall, he yelled at the man: "I am Zhong Qi, the county magistrate of Wu County. What kind of person are you? How dare you behave like this in broad daylight, and you will be arrested before you dismount immediately."

It was just talking about scenes, even Zhong Qi himself didn't believe that after saying these words, he could make these vicious bandits get off their horses and surrender obediently one by one.

In other words, if they really dared to dismount, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the guts to arrest them all.The bandit shouting outside the city gate smiled "hehe", looked at Zhong Qi with a look of contempt, then pointed the big knife in his hand in the direction of the city wall, and shouted: "Listen, dog officer, we are heroes from Bazhou, Hebei, Passed by here today, and

I don't plan to kill, but I just want to ask for some money and food, and those who know the image will obediently send out the money, otherwise, when our army arrives, Wu County will be bloodbathed and you will be killed. "

"Bazhou?" Zhong Qi on the city wall was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, and suddenly realized: "Isn't Bazhou the place where Liu Liu and Liu Qi rebelled? Could it be that they are... Liu Liu's team?" If so He said that he might not know Liu Liu in the past, but now, the red notice that Liu Liu has been killed is now posted at the gate of the city. superior

to go.When everyone realized that these people were the remnants of Liu Liu's team, they became even more afraid. After all, Liu Liu's team has fought from east to west, from south to north in the past few years, and they have indeed achieved their great reputation. Now although Liu Qi

He is dead, but most of the main force of the rebel army is still there, Liu Qi is still there, and he can still stir up a big storm, so how can his own small county be their opponent.

Just when everyone realized that the catastrophe was approaching, the knight outside the city was a little impatient, and once again pointed at the people on the wall and shouted: "Officer dog, I give you half an hour to prepare the silver and food quickly." Well, otherwise..."

The knight pointed at the hundreds of hostages behind him, and said with a ferocious smile, "These people will never see the sun tomorrow." After finishing speaking, the knight rode back to his camp, but at this moment Zhong Qi He looked at the hundreds of ordinary people outside the city with a dead face, because the distance was too far away, so he didn't know if there were any of them.

If my wife, daughter, and children are inside, it’s okay, after all, there is still hope of survival, if they are not here...

The consequences were unimaginable.After a death-like silence on the city wall, Xu Zhi suddenly said loudly: "Your Excellency, don't believe the words of that dog thief. Even if you really give them the money, it is not certain whether they will retreat. Besides, if this matter spread out

If so, how could the yamen in the capital spare us? According to my old Xu's intention, I took up a knife and fought with them. "Xu Zhi's words immediately got the approval of some people. Zhong Qi silently looked at the people who agreed, most of them were officers and soldiers, and the officials in the yamen brought by him all frowned. , looking at myself secretly,

When he saw that he was looking at them, he secretly shook his head.However, Zhou Long, the head catcher among them, persuaded: "My lord, don't fight. It's not that I'm afraid of fighting, but because of our strength, we are no match for those people at all. Even the elite in the capital will fight against them." No way, just the few of us

How can a person use a few guns to block other people's iron hooves?If they are really allowed to rush into the city, the people in the whole city will suffer. ""This..." Before the enemy came in, his own people had already been divided into two factions, one for the main battle and one for the peace. Zhong Qi couldn't make up his mind what to do for a while. According to his own ideas, Of course I don't want to give away the silver grain for nothing, but

If you don't send it out, what should you do if you are attacked?Ma Zhoulong was right, he had to think about the safety of the people in the city.

After hesitating for a while, Zhong Qi ordered: "Come here, take my token, go to the bank to transfer money, and go to the granary to get food."

"My lord, don't do it." Upon hearing Zhong Qi's order, Xu Zhi became impatient. He would not believe what these bandits said. They could retreat after sending out money. What if they didn't return after sending them out?What should I do if I think these silver taels are too little?

But in Wu County, Zhong Qi is still the top leader in the military and government, he can only obey his orders, and he can listen to his words naturally or not. "General Xu, don't talk too much. The county's decision has been made. Any consequences will be borne by the county alone." Zhong Qi finally showed his demeanor and momentum at this time. Already under the city wall

In a hurry to get the silver grain, only Xu Zhi let out a long sigh, but after thinking about it, he could only order all the horses under his command and stand on high alert on the city wall to prevent these bandits from attacking.The silver is easy to say, several large carts loaded all the silver in the warehouse, but the cart loaded with grain was much slower. Seeing that the time left by the bandits was running out, Zhong Qi quickly ordered people to take the money out of the city. All the wagons were gathered together, and the grain

The grain in the warehouse was pulled out a lot.

The city gate of Wu County was finally opened heavily and slowly, and many carts filed out from inside. When they reached the open space outside the city, the carts gradually stopped, and the people above unloaded the things on the carts, and then Go back to the city.Looking at the material that gradually piled up like a hill, Sun Er was full of admiration. Don't look at him just before the battle and shouted so many words, in fact, there is no such thing in his heart I thought that this matter might be successful, but I didn't expect that this impossible thing actually happened right under my nose. I turned to look at Liu Liang behind me, and said with admiration: "Ninth brother really A clever plan, if Brother Nine led the team across the river,

, I am afraid that the general will not be killed by those dog officials and end up like this. "

Speaking of Liu Liu's death, Liu Liang couldn't help but sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Time is also fate, although the great general is dead, there are still seven generals left, let's loot this Wu county in a while, Take the money and women to vote for the Seventh General."

Hearing this, Sun Er's face was startled, and he couldn't help asking: "What does Brother Ninth mean?" "What else, of course...kill."

Chapter 649

At this time, Zhong Qi still didn't know that no matter what he did, even if he moved out all the Kuyin in Wu County, it would not be able to satisfy the appetite of these rout soldiers. After the Huaihe War, they urgently needed more silver more food

Good to recover air-free quickly.

As for Wu county... it can only be said that it is unlucky.Almost several thousand taels of Kuyin have all been moved out and placed in the most obvious position in the open space. When the lid of the box containing the Kuyin was opened, even He Jiaan and others who were hiding in the dark and watching all this People were also shocked, completely

Quan Yi paid a foolish look.Although these thousands of taels of silver are not too big a sum for him, when so much silver is suddenly placed in front of his eyes, it is hard to be tempted. Seeing the boxes of Kuyin being opened, He Jiaan Can't help but say suspiciously: "This

Has Mr. Zhong gone crazy, why did he move all his family property out? "

"Hmph, a dog official who is greedy for life and afraid of death." Obviously, there is no one else who can say this except Lin Shuying, and Zhong Qi's actions reached Lin Shuying, and unintentionally confirmed the reason for her dissatisfaction .After the money was moved, it was replaced with grain, and after the grain, there was more grain. Even He Jiaan felt a little distressed after the move. How many lives could be saved by putting so much grain in Wu County? Why are they all moved out now?Is this

Are these all given to these bandits by Mr. Zhong?There are ten thousand kinds of incomprehensions in my heart, but I am too far away from the city gate. Just now I only saw someone walking around under the city, and then I didn’t see these bandits attacking the city, so the people in the city put These silver boxes and food were delivered

.He Jia'an vaguely sensed something, maybe this was Zhong Qi's trick of exchanging money for his life, but the other party didn't even attack the city, relying on only one or two hundred hostages, Wu County would have to pay such a big price, such a sacrifice

Is it worth the sacrifice?

It's not my turn to talk about whether it's worth it, and now I can't even do anything to help when I stand outside the city. When He Jiaan was worried, I saw that the bandit had made a move.

About dozens of war horses suddenly leaped out, and instantly surrounded the silver boxes, grain, and carriages transporting grain, and they didn't bother to go down to drive the horses, and let these carriages transport the grain and silver away.

These grooms were in great misfortune. They were driven out of the city for no reason. When they encountered such unreasonable bandits, they didn't even dare to fart. They had to transport them wherever they asked them to.Coincidentally, these carriages were led by the bandits to an open space and stopped. They were less than [-] steps away from the place where He Jiaan and the others were hiding. At this time, what

Jia'an suddenly heard shouts of killing erupting in the distance, and then saw the crowd who were originally hostages, driven by these bandits, rushing towards the gate of Wu County.

It really is a vicious strategy.Looking at the actions of these people, He Jiaan didn't know that these bandits clearly wanted to use the skill of opening the city gate to let these ordinary people rush into the city. Can't bear

, these bandits can quickly rush into the city by taking advantage of this situation.

The actions of the bandits also surprised Zhong Qi. Although he thought that these bandits might not keep their promises, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

When he saw the hostage people being driven towards the city gate, he knew that hope had been shattered.These are the people under his rule, and there may even be his wife and daughter among them, how can he give the order to close the city?But if the city gate is not closed, these bandits will rush into the city with the flow of people, and it will be even more serious at that time.
