Chapter 28 The time of death is coming

The night is as dark as ink, and the sky is dark.

At the east gate of Fuyang, the two soldiers who were watching at night were drowsy when they were suddenly awakened by a faint noise. They climbed to the female wall and looked out. They saw a torch from the east, and there were more than 50 people. When they got closer, they saw that the team of people was actually an official army.

"Hey, where did the official army come from?"

"It looks like our Fuyang soldiers. Maybe Lord Li Yan has defeated the bandits, so he sent someone back overnight to report the victory."

"It's not that fast, right? I just went on the expedition this morning and defeated the bandits now? Will there be any problems?"

"There is a big problem, you don't know yet. Lord Li Yan is a tough character. If the thief meets him, he will admit that he is unlucky. Get ready to open the door quickly. Don't annoy this group of soldiers. Just turn around and cause trouble for you and my brother."

"You are timid."

"Are you brave? I just married a wife yesterday, but I don't want to let her be widowed the next day."

While the two were arguing, the group of officials had already arrived at the gate of the city. The first man was a fierce man, with his chest and a belly exposed, his head as big as a fighter. He pointed at the city tower and shouted loudly: "Listen to the people in the city, Lord Li Yan has defeated the bandits and returned victoriously. The large group of people arrived in two hours. In order to avoid the concern of the county magistrate, I would like to condemn me to return to the city to report the victory to the host. Open the door quickly!"

"Open the door quickly!"

Behind the great man, 50 soldiers shouted in unison.

On the city tower, two night watchmen took a breath and said in a lost voice: "My mother, isn't that devil He Laosi? If this bastard is annoyed, he must twist our heads off. Go and wake up the brothers and open the door."

After saying that, the two of them hurriedly followed him down the city tower and opened the city gate.

...

In the backyard of the county government office, the lights in the study were still on. Chen Zhen was worried about the process of suppressing the bandits, so he was completely sleepy. Several minor officials chatted with him. When he spoke, he felt that Chen Zhen was too hasty and shouldn't have sent a young boy like Li Yan who had no practical experience in leading troops to lead troops to the war.

After being talked about too much, Chen Zhen also felt that this decision was too rash. Although Li Yan was quite talented, he had only read a few military books and had never really led his troops to the battlefield. It would be fine if he won. If he was defeated... Thinking of this, Chen Zhen quickly comforted himself and said, "How could he be defeated if he would not be defeated?" The Yellow Turban bandits were just a group of mobs. Once he saw the shadow of the official army, he would probably have escaped. Even if he had no results, he would definitely not be defeated.

Chen Zhen had just hinted in his heart and comforted himself. The butler's panic shouts sounded outside the study: "Master, no, the bandits have entered the city."

In the quiet middle of the night, the butler's voice seemed sharp and shrill, and the news conveyed was too terrifying, and several of the officials were already so shocked that they jumped up like rabbits.

Chen Zhen was also shocked and almost fell down from the Grand Master's chair. When he came to his senses, he realized that this was Fuyang County, which was within the high walls and deep ditch. It was not a wilderness without any danger. Even if there were tens of thousands of bandits attacking, it would be difficult to capture it in a hurry! Besides, the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang had already been destroyed, so where did tens of thousands of bandits come from? His mind was calm, and Chen Zhen said angrily: "Butler, you are sleeping in a mess. What are you talking nonsense?"

"Light on."

The door of the study was pushed open heavily, and the butler had already stumbled in. Under the swaying candlelight, Chen Zhen and several minor officials were surprised to see a face that was not as human-shaped. The butler was sweating and was in a messy way, and endless fear was revealed in his turbid eyes, as if the end of the world had arrived.

"Old... Master, a few... lords, the bandits really... have really entered the city!"

Chen was shocked and suspicious, and asked with a sinister face: "Nothing nonsense, where did the bandits come from? How can they enter the city?"

The housekeeper swallowed, wiped away the sweat from his face, and said, "Xiao... Xiaodi didn't know, but met a few escaped military masters at Dongzhimen and said that the East Gate had fallen and the gang was about to enter the city. Xiaodi quickly came back and reported the news to the adults, please leave quickly, no matter how late it is, it will be too late."

In just a moment, the county government suddenly started to make a fuss outside the county government. The sound of crying and calling for her parents gradually turned into a circle. In addition, the sky-sky fire lit up from the east, illuminating the windows of the study. The blazing flames passed through the windows and reflected on the pale faces of Chen Zhen and several stingers. Everyone was shocked.

When Chen Zhen and several minor officials were at a loss, the county magistrate suddenly rushed in with more than a dozen officials. After all, they were from military officers, and the county magistrate looked calm, but they were not dressed in a mess, with their hair disheveled, and only half of the armor on their bodies. The dozen officials behind him were even more unbearable, and two were even barefoot. It seemed that they were woken up from their sleep. They ran here without having time to put on their shoes in the dark.

As soon as he saw Chen Zhen, the county magistrate said sternly: "Sir, the bandits are cheating on the city, the east gate has been lost, the matter cannot be done, the situation is already dangerous, follow Xiaguan to abandon the city and break through."

Chen Zhen screamed, paused his feet and sighed: "Has the bandits really entered the city?"

The county magistrate said: "How can there be a false alarm? Xiaguan once fought with a bandit. The bandit is so powerful that Xiaguan is no match for it. Sir, abandon the city quickly. It will be too late!"

Chen Zhen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan and said anxiously: "Where is Old Master He? You must protect Old Master He and go with you. You must not let Old Master He fall into the hands of the thieves, otherwise I will die forever."

The county magistrate said: "Don't worry, sir, the minister has sent someone. I think it's almost time to Ximen. sir, let's go and meet with Mr. He."

"well!"

Chen Zhen paused again and sighed, covering his face and leaving quickly. Several minor officials and housekeepers followed him, hurried to the west gate under the escort of the county magistrate and more than a dozen official troops. He was rushing to the west gate, and he saw a group of people coming to the west gate. However, it was Mr. He's military and generals, and the accompanying official troops, who were rushing into the city from outside the city gate in a hurry. Outside the city gate, under the dark night, the suspension bridge was creaking up. There seemed to be a faint light of fire in the distance, and there was a vast area.

The county magistrate rushed forward and said anxiously: "Why are you closing the city gate?"

A soldier guarding the gate shouted, "Sir Hui, there are bandits and ambushing soldiers outside the West Gate, and it's amazing to go out."

"What!?"

The county magistrate Chen Zhen was shocked and rushed to the city tower to see that the torches outside the city were bright and dancing in groups. The sound of killing was shocking. There were no one knowing how many people were in the dark. Several minor officials of the school had always been able to show off their verbal skills. When did they see such a formation? They were so scared that they were as sieve and had no soul to possess.

"What should I do? What should I do!"

Chen Zhen was so anxious that he was wandering around the city wall that he had no idea.

The county magistrate who was still a military officer said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, even if the east gate is lost, there are bandits ambushing outside the west gate. There are not necessarily thieves in the south gate and the north gate. It is better to abandon the west gate and go to the north gate?"

Chen Zhen heard this and said repeatedly: "Okay, then go to the north gate."

A group of people abandoned the west gate and rushed straight to the north gate in chaos. At this time, Ma Yue led a large group of bandits to swarm in from the east gate. As soon as they entered the city, they divided into two groups. One was led by a large leader and went straight to the south gate, and the other was led by Ma Yue himself and went straight to the north gate.

...

At noon the next day, as soon as Qin Jie's army entered the Fuyang territory, a fast horse was sent back to the emergency report.

"Report, two days ago, the eight hundred bandits stayed in Zhangzhuang..."

Qin Jie frowned and said, "Eight hundred bandits? What eight hundred bandits?"

"Sir, it is the remnants of the Yellow Turban who escaped from Jingshan. Now he has raised the banner and is known as the eight hundred bandits."

Qin Jie burst into laughter, thinking that the thief was a thief after all, and he actually regarded himself as a thief and was shameless.

But what the horse said next made Qin Jie almost fall from the horse's back.

"Sir, the eight hundred bandits defeated the Fuyang official army in Mumapo yesterday and rushed to Fuyang County overnight."

"What!?"

Not only was Qin Jie shocked, Zou Jing even said sternly: "Where did Fuyang's official army come from Mumapo? Fuyang only has 500 county and state soldiers, and it is still insufficient to defend the city. Who told them to attack without authorization?"

The explorer shook his head and said, "I don't know that the young ones did defeat the Fuyang Army in Mumapo. There were more than 200 Fuyang soldiers in front of him who were not worn out."

As soon as the horse was spoken, another fast horse rode back from the front. A shrill voice came from a distance: "Report... urgent reports from the front... Eight hundred bandits had already opened the city gate last night, and Fuyang had fallen."

"I am the one who kills me! Chen Zhen is a man who is very hurtful!"

Qin Jieli shouted, his eyes fell from the horse's back with black eyes, and his personnel were not awake.

"grown ups?"

"grown ups!"
