Chapter 215: Defending the City 2
Chapter 215: Defending the City 2
Wang Yuyi did not panic, and calmly directed: "Everyone, do as I arrange."
Yu Xiyun, Ouyang Shu and others turned around and walked down the city wall.
However, more and more people gathered under the city wall and shouted to Wang Yu'er on the wall:
"Manager Wang, I'm very strong, I'm willing to help guard the city gate!"
"I can do it too! Count me in! Let me crush these bastards!"
"Manager Wang, I learned a few moves from the escort master when I was a kid! I can kill a few people with my sword!"
"I can shoot an arrow! I can shoot those sons of bitches to death!"
"Manager Wang, we women can also help!!!"
……
More and more people came out from all over the city, holding various weapons.
Some of them saw the notices, and some heard scholars announcing them in the streets.
When they first heard the news, they were scared, panicked and at a loss.
But it was soon replaced by anger in my heart.
The imperial court actually wanted to destroy their happy home and their hard-earned life.
Life had just gotten better. They were finally living like normal people.
They don't want anything, they just want this life to continue. They just want to live like a human being...
But why did the imperial court refuse to satisfy even this modest wish?
If they don't see the light at first, then they are not afraid of the darkness.
But they have already experienced what it is like to be human, and they no longer want to become dust that is crushed under someone's feet.
Therefore, they must resist and protect this hard-earned happiness and the home they all share.
Wang Yu'er on the city wall smiled with relief.
Sister, did you see that? Yue'er did what you wanted...
Wang Yu'e said to Chu Ren who was maintaining order, "Chu Ren, have people arrange their destinations according to their skills."
"Then let us protect our home together!"
……
At this time, the army was stopped two miles away.
A man dressed like a military advisor leaned over and asked, "Sir, are you going to give the order to attack the city?"
"What's the hurry?! Go and make a statement first. Tell them that as long as you are willing to hand over Yunyue and her son named Bao, as well as Huang Shide and Ouyang Jinyan, we will not attack the city."
"what?"
"What? Do you think I really want to fight? I'm just a scholar, a prefect! Who the hell knows how to fight? If the emperor and the prime minister hadn't given me a secret order, I would have thought someone was deliberately trying to mess with me! So it's best to resolve it peacefully. Anyway, the person above just wants someone. He didn't say that we have to fight."
"What if they don't hand them over?"
"If they don't hand over the troops, then we'll fight! The Qianhu Division of Chengnan Prefecture only has about a thousand people at most. We and Zhending Prefecture brought 20,000 people, and we can't take a small city? Oh, where's Wu Zhengxin from Zhending Prefecture? Has he arrived?" Prefect Yang fanned him with a fan. It was so hot, so he was asked to lead troops to fight. Until now, he still didn't understand why.
"Prefect Wu will be here soon."
"Well, let's ask Old Wu to come here later. I brought two jars of Xuanfu Xianluzui for him to try."
"Yes, sir, we just caught some people who escaped from the city. What should we do with them?"
"Kill him. Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys for the people in the city to see. Let them know this is the result if they don't surrender." Magistrate Yang waved his fan indifferently.
"Okay, I'll go right away." The master walked out.
Soon, the soldiers escorted Fang Zuo and others who had escaped to the city.
Fang Zuo and others were confused. They had clearly escaped, so why were they caught?
Moreover, they stuffed rags into their mouths right away, so they couldn't even utter a word of begging for mercy.
Fang Zuo didn't want to die, so he struggled desperately.
No! He can’t die. Yunyue should be the one to die! It should be those women. They are the ones who are plotting rebellion!
"Behave yourself!" The soldier guarding him was annoyed by Fang Zuo's struggle and hit him on the head with the butt of a knife.
I'm escorting you here, who knows if you'll be shot to death by the people on the wall! You're still making trouble with me? I'll chop you two more times later!
"Listen to me, people from Chengnan Prefecture! We are here to capture the traitors. As long as you hand over Yunyue, her son, Huang Shide and Ouyang Jinyan, we will withdraw! If you don't, we will attack the city and you will all die!!! Now I give you half an hour to think it over carefully! Otherwise, these people will end up like you."
After that, the heads of those who had just escaped from the city fell to the ground one after another. Oh, except for Fang Zuo. He was stabbed three times before he died.
After beheading, the soldiers withdrew, leaving only two people who kept shouting at the city wall.
At this time, Zhang Yuankai and others on the city wall were watching the people with caution, fearing that someone would really arrest people in order to save their lives.
"Bah! Do you think we are fools? If we hand over Master Yue and Master Fubao, even if they don't kill us, Prince Rong will kill us."
"Mr. Yue is so kind to us. Anyone who dares to take advantage of them is a real villain! I will be the first to kill him!"
"Right!!!! We will never hand him over! You can't trust the court's words! Have you forgotten what kind of life we lived before?"
"I will never forget this even until I die! The imperial court only exploits us! They don't treat us as human beings!!"
"Look, weren't all those who escaped killed by them? You must not surrender, or you will end up like them."
……
Prefect Yang didn't know that his trick of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys not only failed to scare the people of Chengnan Prefecture, but instead strengthened their determination to fight to the end.
Zhang Yuankai shouted to everyone, "There is still one hour left. Everyone, take a good rest and eat something now."
.
At this time, Yun Yue and the other two arrived at the territory of Chengnan Prefecture, but there were soldiers guarding every intersection leading to the prefecture.
"Where are you from and what do you do?" Two soldiers stopped Yunyue.
"Two soldiers, I want to ask you something..." Yun Yue quietly handed two silver bills to the soldiers.
The soldiers accepted it and said in a better tone: "Ask if you have anything to say, but you cannot go in."
"Okay, okay, it's like this, my second aunt lives in the city of Chengnan Prefecture. I received a letter saying that she was seriously ill, so I wanted to go see her."
"Then you can't go. Maybe your second aunt has died." The soldier said kindly.
"what?"
Another soldier said, "Our prefect and the prefect of Zhending Prefecture have taken 20,000 soldiers to attack the city south of Chengnan and capture the rebels."
Yun Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she looked anxious: "Then my second aunt will be implicated... Oh, I have to go home and tell my father. Thank you, Mr. Bing!"
Yunyue thanked the soldier and turned to leave.
When the soldiers saw Yunyue leave, they all lowered their heads and opened the silver notes that Yunyue had given them.
Fifty taels! What a profit!
The soldier lowered his head and thought about where to hide, otherwise he would be found by his wife and taken away. He didn't notice a familiar figure flashing past them.
Yunyue successfully entered the checkpoint and released Li Wanhua and Si Yin.
"The situation is urgent now. Si Yin, find a way to pass the message to Xiao Yinmo and my father and ask them to quickly bring troops to the rescue. Wanhua and I will return to the city to help."
"Okay, I'll go now. Master, please be careful." Si Yin gritted his teeth, turned around and left quickly.
Yunyue was worried: "Wanhua, let's go quickly."
Li Wanhua did not move: "Yue'er, you go back to the city first. I have to go to the mountains. When I left, except for a few people I lent to Chu Ren, the others were all training in the mountains. I will go find them now and find a way to enter the enemy camp. Otherwise, we can't hold on to 20,000 troops."
Yunyue knew that this was the best way. With only a thousand soldiers in Chengnan Prefecture, it was difficult to defend the city among an army of 20,000! So she gritted her teeth and agreed, holding Li Wanhua's hand: "Wanhua, you must remember to come back alive. Don't fight hard, as long as you find a way to delay for five or six days, Xiao Yinmo will definitely be able to bring people here. Remember, stay alive!"
Li Wanhua grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said confidently: "Don't worry! I'm lucky. I won't die! I want to be a female general! And I want to develop my special forces team! I want to shock Prince Rong!"
"Okay. I'll wait for you at home."
"Okay, wait till I get home."
The two smiled at each other, then turned and left.
