Datang romantic little landlord

Since ancient times in China, if you want to defend the city, you must mobilize the people in the city.

Although Dugufeng is a clean and honest official, he has never been on the battlefield, and this is the first time he has experienced such a thing, he actually forgot about mobilizing the people in the city to help defend the city.

After being reminded by Li Wangyou, he realized his mistake.

"Wait, in addition to mobilizing the young and strong in the city, all the doctors must also gather together, prepare medicinal materials, and treat the wounded. The rich families in Jiulong County, the servants of the housekeepers and nursing homes in the mansion, are all requisitioned on the spot, and let them go immediately. Come to the wall to assist in the battle."

Li Wangyou continued to instruct that although he had never experienced war, he understood these common senses.

After Dugufeng took the order and left, Wang Yichun sneaked to Li Wangyou's side again.

"My lord, in my opinion, it's better to agree to the terms of those bureaucrats. In Jiulong County, there are only [-] soldiers in the government. How can I keep it? Why should you take the risk of going with those barbarians with your precious body?" Head-to-head? If..."

"Shut up!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Li Wangyou yell.

"At the moment of the war, if you dare to speak such nonsense again, be careful that I will directly chop off your head to sacrifice the flag!"

Wang Yichun's face turned pale when Li Wangyou said this, but he didn't dare to say a word, so he could only keep bowing and apologizing.

Li Wangyou didn't bother to pay attention to this person, so he simply sent him down the city wall to assist Dugufeng in the city and mobilize the people to help in the battle.

After Wang Yichun walked down the city wall with his back turned, his eyes were full of resentment...

Although Jiulong County is not big, it is divided into several lifangs like Chang'an City.

In addition to urging and supervising the taxation and corvee of households, Fang Zheng also supervised adultery and maintained law and order.

After Dugu Feng ordered the yamen servants to go to various rifangs to inform Fangzheng, soon, there were dense gongs from all over Jiulong County.The fangs of various lifangs are beginning to gather young and strong people in the fangs, preparing to participate in the defense of the county.

Participation is not voluntary, it is mandatory for young adults in every household, regardless of gender.

The men carried weapons and went up to the city wall to assist in the defense, while the women began to carry supplies under the leadership of the county government clerk.

The bronze drums of the Liao people outside the city are getting more and more urgent, and the war is about to break out.

Li Wangyou stood on the city wall, watching with cold eyes the officials below preparing to attack the city.

Obviously, the equipment of these Liaoren is extremely crude.

Needless to say about the armor, it is definitely not there.

Most of the weapons in their hands are short blades that are about the same length as barrier knives.

Long-range attack weapons, and only a few Liao people hold bows and arrows in their hands.

As for the ordnance such as siege vehicles, rush vehicles, and catapults, it is obviously impossible to exist.The only thing that allowed the Liao people to attack the city wall of Jiulong County was the crudely made wooden ladders.

However, the equipment of the Liaoren did not reassure Li Wangyou, after all, the gap in the number of the two sides was too great.

And now he still has a question in his mind, that is why these Liao people rebelled and besieged Jiulong County.

Although Dugufeng whipped the son of the Liaoren leader, it should not trigger the rebellion of the other four Liaoren tribes.

Are these bureaucrats really so united?

This is obviously impossible.

Although Li Wangyou didn't know much about the Liao people, he also knew that the Liao people were still living in a very primitive state.

Fights between different tribes are common.

Moreover, slavery was more popular among the Liao people. The captives who were defeated and captured were directly sold into slaves. The slave trade was not only popular, but also cheap.

"One big dog buys a whole life", that is to say, one adult dog can be exchanged for a plundered slave.

Coupled with things like robbing relatives, the relationship between these bureaucrats is not friendly at all.It is simply impossible to expect them to come together to take revenge because the sons of other tribal leaders were whipped and beaten by the magistrate of Jiulong County.

There must be something hidden in this!

Li Wangyou didn't doubt that Dugufeng lied to him. After all, although he had known Dugufeng for less than a day, since Dugufeng was famous in history, he was still trustworthy.

When he was thinking about these things, a horn sounded from below the city wall, and the Liao people began to attack the city.

Niu Wu directly pulled Li Wangyou aside: "Your Majesty, the Liao people are attacking the city, you can avoid it for a while, why don't you go back to the hotel to accompany Miss Su, okay? On this city wall, swords have no eyes. The brothers of the Zhang family may not be able to protect Mr. Lang's safety."

Li Wangyou hesitated when he heard this.

According to his temperament, it is natural that a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall, but the tragic death of the yamen servant just now made him feel uncomfortable.

"Niu Wu, don't worry, when I go out today, I've already put on the inner armor, just find me the shield." Li Wangyou finally decided to stay and see the situation.

The inner armor he was talking about was the body armor made by Yan Liben after those "holy clothes" were ruthlessly "looted" by Li Er and a group of state officials.

The inner armor is also made of [-]-refined steel, the same as when Niu Wu used it for experiments, and it is lined with silk and cowhide.

The armor is divided into two parts, the front and the back, which respectively protect the front chest and the back, and are connected by cowhide buttons in the middle.It is usually worn under clothing, just like the body armor of later generations.

Li Wangyou asked Yan Liben to build more than 100 sets of this kind of inner armor, and Fuzhong Buqu had one set.

Although he spent a lot of copper coins, it was quite worth it.

For this set of inner armor, including Niu Yong and Niu Wu, there is no one in the Fuchu who doesn't like it.Even in many parts, it is said that when he was with his wife Dun Lun, he was reluctant to take off the inner armor, which made Li Wangyou very speechless.

Now this inner armor has come in handy, at least he, Niu Wu and the Zhang family brothers have an extremely strong inner armor protection under their robes.

Niu Wu persuaded Li Wangyou a few more words, seeing that he insisted on staying on the city wall, he had no choice but to find a shield and give it to him, and told the Zhang brothers to protect Li Wangyou.

At this time outside Jiulong County, amidst the sound of ox horns and bronze drums, Liao people lined up in a messy formation and began to attack the city...

888 Fierce Battle in Jiulong

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.
