More than thirty people were roughly detained under the city by the people from the Western Regions.

Most of them are old people, children and women.

All young and strong laborers were recruited to defend the northwest, and only those who were incapable of restraining themselves would be captured!

"Shout!"

Wu Siman had a sinister smile on his face.

A soldier under his command who could speak the Central Plains language stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate and surrender, or they will die!"

As soon as his voice fell, the soldiers from the Western Regions drew their swords and put them on the necks of these people. Everyone could understand their intentions.

"mean!"

On the city wall, many of the guards could not help but gnash their teeth and curse!

In fact, this is not the first time this has happened, this is the third time.

They forced the people to the city gates to force them to open the city gates and surrender.

But this time it was even more extreme, even the elderly and children were not spared!

"Sir, what should we do?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on a middle-aged official wearing a gray robe, with a dark complexion, slightly thick eyebrows, a round face and bright eyes.

He is the magistrate of Qianxi County named Chen Bao.

It was under his leadership that we were able to withstand enemy attacks time and time again!

The northwest is different from the Central Plains. The terrain is complex and rugged with valleys and peaks. Some counties are located on the main roads. Qianxi County is such a county.

The army of the Western Regions had to pass through if they wanted to march south, so they sieged the city in such a laborious manner.

Chen Bao frowned, not knowing how to make a decision.

Qianxi County is located in an important area. Although it is a small county town, it has important passes.

If we continue walking southeast, only Laiyang City is left!

It is the last big city in Weizhou, and it is also the last place to be guarded. If it is broken through, the army of the Western Regions will be able to move south unimpeded!

Chen Bao knew that it was impossible to hold on. What appeared in front of him was just an enemy army, and a large-scale enemy army was still behind.

But the longer we hold on, the more prepared Laiyang City will be...

All of them are ready to sacrifice, but he cannot take the lives of others without authorization.

Just like those innocent old, weak, women and children outside the city...

"Sir, these brutal Westerners have no humanity. Even if we agree to their conditions, they will kill all of us..."

The words of people around him immediately aroused a chorus of agreement.

"Yes, they are all beasts!"

"They all started to use this method, which shows that they are really anxious."

"The people from the Western Regions are just as bad at attacking cities as the people from the Northern Yi. They have no choice."

Hear this.

Chen Bao's eyes gradually became firmer.

He loudly said: "Folks, foreign enemies are invading and the country is facing a life-and-death situation. The people of Weizhou and even Tongzhou are fighting bravely against the enemy. All of us will die!"

"I'm sorry, I can't open the city gate for rescue. Please take a step forward. I'll be there soon!"

His voice was full of determination.

Qianxi County will be captured sooner or later, and what he said is correct.

Everyone will die, it's just a matter of order.

In this catastrophe in the northwest, enough people had died, and he could not open the city gate just because of the threat from below.

"Well said!"

An old man at the foot of the city loudly said: "There is nothing to fear about death. If His Majesty had not personally come to Weizhou to provide relief the year before last, we would have died in the disaster long ago."

"Don't open the city gate, you must guard it!"

Others also shouted loudly.

"Erzi, are you afraid?"

a woman asked her child.

"Mom, I'm not afraid."

The seven or eight-year-old child looked determined.

"you……"

After hearing this conversation, the Westerner who knew the Central Plains language quickly explained to Wu Siman.

"Damn it!"

"Kill them all!"

Wusman gave the order in anger.

The blade cuts across.

The more than thirty people who were taken here were brutally killed in this way.

"Beast!"

The guards on the city wall cursed bitterly.

Chen Bao closed his eyes. Although he had seen this scene many times, he still couldn't accept it...

When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of determination.

"Hold on to the end!"

"Fight to the bitter end!"

Everyone gritted their teeth and picked up their weapons again.

They are not afraid of death, but they want to die well.

See this scene.

Wusman's face was extremely ugly, and killing people seemed to have no effect on these Central Plains people.

Their determination and will can be compared to the hardest stone, no one can break it!

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

Wu Siman asked in broken Chinese.

This is his most curious question.

"You will never understand a nation's determination to defend its country!"

Chen Bao's answer was crisp and clear.

"Siege the city. Unless we are all dead, you will never get through!"

"kill!"

"Siege the city!"

Wusman became even more angry.

Afterwards, the troops from the Western Regions quickly rushed to the city with long ladders and began to attack the city.

This process seems very clumsy.

The people of the Western Regions are the same as the barbarians, they are good at field battles but not good at attacking cities.

It is for this reason that Wusman thought of using coercion and other methods to get the enemy to open the city gate.

As soon as they entered the Central Plains, they went ahead and killed people as if they were in an uninhabited land.

But this situation did not last long before resistance was encountered.

In their view, these Central Plains people are weak. They do not have strong bodies or armors and weapons. They are just ordinary people.

But it was people like this who resisted them and caused casualties to their troops.

They occupy some important towns and use them as a basis to block their way south.

In the original plan, they would take one month to capture Veyzhou, but it has been almost two months and they are still trapped in Veyzhou!

Wusman couldn't understand why these thin bodies contained such powerful power.

Just like now, facing the siege of their own army, they fought with flesh and blood. When one fell, the other immediately stepped up. No one flinched, and no one was afraid of fighting.

Even if they die, they will still cause casualties to their own soldiers...even if it's just a bite.

Wusman didn't understand.
To be continued...
