Niu Wu began to look around, trying to find out the weak link in Liaoren's defense.

He also didn't have much hope for whether Jiulong County could be held.

Although the Liao people lacked siege equipment, they were numerous after all.The three hundred government soldiers and yamen servants can certainly hold on for a while, but without reinforcements, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.

Those bureaucrats, even if they are wasted, can kill all the government soldiers in the city.

Therefore, if something goes wrong, the city really can't be defended anymore, but Niu Wu can't control others, so he can only work with the Zhang family brothers to fight a bloody road to rescue Li Wangyou and Su Changqing.

So when Li Wangyou cast his gaze on him, Niu Wu's face sank like water, and he shook his head slightly at Li Wangyou, expressing that he had no choice.

When everyone looked at each other, they heard the officials outside the city yelling again, and Dugufeng's complexion turned even paler.

"Dugu Mingfu, what did the Liao people say?"

"He, he said that he would use that guard as a sacrifice to the owl!"

Li Wangyou was puzzled: "What is Jixiao?"

Dugu Feng gritted his teeth and said, "It's a human sacrifice. After a murder, the skin is peeled off and put in a bamboo cage to sacrifice to the gods!"

As soon as Dugu Feng said this, everyone was in an uproar and cursed angrily.

"Dog thief, how dare he do this!"

"Shu Zi'an dares to do this!"

"Is there any reason for this? Are you not afraid that when my Great Tang Heavenly Army arrives, you will be crushed into powder?"

Li Wangyou even pointed at the leader of the bureaucrats, and said angrily: "Niu Wu, shoot that bastard to death!"

When Niu Wu heard this, without saying a word, he directly took off his strong bow from his back, bent the bow and mounted an arrow, and shot the arrow towards the leader of the Liao people with a "swish".

However, those Liao people had long been on guard against the soldiers on the city wall, so they did not approach the city wall.

Although Niu Wu's arrow was sharp and fierce, the distance of more than [-] meters was enough for the man to react.

The guards beside the leader of the Liaoren kept paying attention to the movement on the top of the city. When Niu Wu raised his bow, they had already raised the extremely simple shields in their hands to protect the leader behind them.

The feather arrow made a soft puff sound, and pierced the shield, but did not hurt the Liaoren leader at all.

In fact, this is also within Niu Wu's expectation. With such a long distance, he can only try his luck.

After being startled by Niu Wu's arrow, a group of Liao people immediately clamored again, brandishing their weapons, and making all kinds of strange noises towards the city wall of Jiulong County.

The Bronze Drum of the Liao people rang again, and the Liao people shouted and prayed with unknown meaning.

The captured yamen servant was forced to kneel on the ground by several Liao people, and immediately some Liao people stood behind the yamen servant with sharp knives.

Everyone on the city wall, including Li Wangyou, was so excited by the scene in front of them that they shouted loudly.

Even some excited Fubing soldiers, without waiting for Dugu Feng and Fubing Xiaowei's orders, bent their bows and set up arrows, and pulled the bowstrings towards the Liaoren who were a hundred meters away.

But even the strong bow in Niu Wu's hands couldn't do anything to the Liao people who were so far away, let alone the ordinary bows and arrows in the hands of the soldiers.

After the arrow feathers flew over a distance of [-] meters, they all limply leaned on the soil in front of Liaoren, posing no threat at all.

This instead made those Liao people more and more excited, and even many Liao people began to dance around the unfortunately captured yamen servant, in line with the increasingly rapid beating of drums.

The yamen servant who was forced to kneel on the ground seemed to realize what was going to happen, and immediately struggled desperately.

But obviously, the struggle of the poor yamen servant at this time was futile. After being pinned down by several Liao people, the Liao people behind him with a knife directly wiped his neck with a knife like killing a chicken.

The blood donation spewed out immediately...

Li Wangyou clenched his fists so hard that his nails were even embedded in his skin.

He didn't realize it, his eyes were red, and he stared at those Liaoren, as if he wanted to engrave their every move into his mind.

On the city wall of Jiulong County, a group of yamen servants let out bursts of heart-wrenching roars, watching their colleagues being cut to death like chickens in front of them, how could we not let these nine The government servants in Long County were sad and indignant.

The blood donation spurted out by the yamen servants who had their throats cut to death seemed to stimulate those bureaucrats even more. They shouted outside the city more and more excitedly, and their dancing bodies became faster and faster.

After the Liaoren killed the yamen servant, he actually did what Dugufeng said, and began to peel the yamen servant with a knife, peeling off the entire face of the yamen servant...

Li Wangyou never expected that he would actually witness such a bloody scene with his own eyes, let alone such a primitive and barbaric human sacrifice, appearing in front of him like this.

However, he didn't feel sick to his stomach, only a feeling of grief and anger lingered in his chest.

He pulled out the barrier knife from his waist, chopped it directly on the city wall in front of him, roared wildly, and suddenly sang the song "Serve the country with loyalty".

"War smoke rises, the country looks north, the dragon rolls up, the horse neighs... the hatred is mad, the sword is directed, how many loyal souls of brothers and sisters are buried in other lands, why do you regret a hundred deaths to serve the country..."

Since Li Wangyou brought this song to the Tang Dynasty with loyalty and loyalty, everyone in the Li family can sing it.

Niu Wu and the Zhang family brothers immediately pulled out their sabers from their waists and chopped them on the bricks of the city wall, making a thumping sound like a war drum, and sang this tragic song loudly along with Li Wangyou.

Soon, all the government soldiers and yamen servants on the city wall of Jiulong County pulled out their weapons, chopped them on the city wall, suppressed the sound of the bronze drums of the bureaucrats outside the city, followed Li Wangyou and Niu Wu, and roared out that Serve the country faithfully...

887 Another Hidden Secret

The tragic atmosphere at the head of Jiulong County did not affect the bureaucrats outside the city.

After brutally killing the yamen servant and stripping off his head and skin to sacrifice to heaven, the bronze drum of the Liao people sounded again.

The Liao people dragged out many wooden ladders directly from the forest, preparing to storm Jiulong County.

These so-called wooden ladders are extremely simple.

After cutting off the branches and leaves of the long tree trunk, some short sticks are tied to it with ropes for stepping on it, and a pair of wooden ladders is considered complete.

But even with such a crude wooden ladder, Li Wangyou and others did not dare to underestimate it.

Li Wangyou saw that the Liaoren were really preparing to attack the city, and then turned his head to look at the Jiulong County behind him, his expression immediately changed.

Jiulong County is a lower county, and the county seat is very small.

But no matter how small the county seat is, the total length of the square city wall is close to four kilometers.

At this time, all the government soldiers, yamen servants, and minzhuang all went to the city to prepare for defense, but there were only more than 300 people.

A simple calculation shows that almost every ten meters or so, there is only one mansion soldier or yamen guard next to the parapet of the city wall.

Looking at the thousands of Liao people under the city, Li Wangyou felt his scalp go numb.

He grabbed Dugu Feng and said, "Dugu Ming Mansion, go and gather the people in the city, mobilize all the young and strong, and go up to the city wall to help the mansion soldiers defend. The county cannot be defended by the mansion soldiers alone!"

Dugufeng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that his face changed drastically.
