Chapter 1,669 The life and death of a mere county magistrate
"You all stop me!"
"Otherwise I'll kill him."
"He is an official of your Tang Dynasty and a county magistrate of this far-funded city. If you ask me to kill him because of your siege, all of you will commit serious crimes!" Watanabe Kuchiji shouted loudly outside the city.
The Japanese ronin had no experience in defending the city.
Moreover, the Tang army opposite did not play according to common sense at all, so no one cares about the lives and deaths of the people in the city.
Just order the siege directly?
This scared Kuroji Watanabe!
If he didn't find a way to stop the siege army in front of him, he, Watanabe Kuroji and a group of Japanese ronin, would have to explain it here!
Watanabe Kuroji thought again, since these people don’t care about the lives of ordinary people, then he pushed the magistrate of the Yuanfucheng County, and these people should stop.
After all, with the understanding of the Tang Dynasty of Watanabe's second team, everyone in the Tang Dynasty is for me, and I am for everyone.
They are all together.
No one will break the acquiescent rules.
Otherwise, no one will help the person who will break the rules in the future.
Sure enough, when Watanabe Kuroji shouted, the Tang army, who was sieging the city, slowly stopped.
Everyone's eyes were on Fu Dashan, the magistrate of Yuanfucheng County, who was pressed on the battlements and looked embarrassed.
Fu Dashan couldn't say a word at this moment. His mouth was stuffed with a rag. When he saw the Qianzhou army who stopped siege, he was full of grief and anger.
"After letting go of the people and officials of Yuanfucheng, I can guarantee that you will be able to die happily." Han Chong immediately shouted to Watanabe Kuroji on the city tower fifty meters away.
Watanabe Kuroji looked at Han Chong in the distance. The distance of fifty meters was enough for him to kill him with a blow.
Without leaving any traces, Watanabe Kuroji waved his hand to the Japanese ronin archer, but Watanabe Kuroji's face was silent, and he shouted, "What is the joke that the Tang general is telling? If we let the person go, we will die.
, then why do we still release people?”
"I'll go back and discuss with Zhao Chen to see if he wants our lives or the lives of the people in the city."
"If he agrees to withdraw now, I can guarantee their lives to be safe."
Han Chong didn't dare to make this decision.
But the attack just now had many people in Yuanfucheng who had died. At this moment, the county magistrate of Yuanfucheng was taken to the city tower again.
He was not sure whether to continue attacking or wait for orders next.
This is what Watanabe Kumaji wants.
As long as the Tang army on the opposite side dares not attack, he will have time to find a way to deal with these Tang army.
"Mmmmm!" Fu Dashan struggled desperately on the city tower, and the attack just now had already killed many people.
Now, the attack has stopped, why?
But his struggle was useless and was dragged back to the rear.
The city tower was full of corpses, including people and Japanese ronin.
Han Chongqi stood outside the city with deep eyes and was about to go back to report the news with Zhao Chen when suddenly an arrow shot towards him.
Han Chong was shocked and had no time to dodge.
He himself was not shot by the arrow, but the war horse under him fell to the ground, and the arrow was nailed into the horse's neck.
Blood also flowed out along the arrows.
Han Chong didn't have time to think too much and immediately ran backwards.
The arrows from the rear arrived like rain, and Han Chong was also lucky. He was not shot in a single arrow. When the Japanese ronin wanted to take action, Han Chong was protected by the Qianzhou army that had been caught up.
Han Chong turned around and looked at the war horse lying on the ground, staring at the smiling Bearrian on the city tower with anger.
He clenched his fists, turned around and let the camp behind him run.
...
"See, this is your generals of the Tang Dynasty."
"They don't take it seriously by threatening the lives of the people, but once you threaten the lives of the officials, it will be different!"
"It's a pity that I couldn't shoot him with one arrow just now."
"But, with you in their hands, they have no choice!"
On the city tower, Watanabe Kuroji said proudly to Tomoda Mountain.
Fu Dashan didn't say a word, but just looked at Watanabe Kuroji in front of him, and secretly blamed Han Chong outside the city in his heart.
Watanabe Kuroji didn't care about Fu Dashan's eyes at all. Looking at the gradually retreating Tang army, he began to think in his mind that he had to leave Yuanfucheng as soon as possible.
Yuanfucheng has been captured, and there is a Tang army outside the city, and the wealth in the city cannot be taken away.
So he decided to burn all the Yuanfucheng with a torch.
This can also avenge the companions who died in the sea, and let the officials and men of the Tang Dynasty know that they are not so easy to deal with.
If you offend them, the Japanese ronin must be prepared to be retaliated.
The murder of a city that destroyed the Tang Dynasty was the most direct revenge.
"Give me instructions to go ahead and we will retreat tonight, and before retreating, we will burn Yuanfucheng."
"The things were burned together, leaving an empty shell for the Tang army and let them know how powerful we are!" Watanabe Kuroji turned around and said to the Japanese ronin beside him.
Tomodashan did not understand what Watanabe Kuroji said, but he knew that Watanabe Kuroji must have no good intentions.
But he is now so he can't do anything.
...
"His Royal Highness, the Japanese ronin on the city tower threatened the lives of the officials in the city, saying that once his subordinates continued to attack the city, he would kill my Tang officials."
Han Chong, who returned to the camp, felt no confidence.
Zhao Chen stared at Han Chong with deep eyes, and Han Chong felt a thrill in his heart.
Li Ke stood aside, frowning.
Zhao Chen had clearly said before that no one would attack the city directly.
Han Chong did as he did at first, but what happened later?
The people in the city can ignore it. A captured county magistrate of Yuanfucheng can stop Han Chong from moving forward?
He almost died under the secret arrow of the Japanese ronin.
"It was my previous order, and the conveyed it was not accurate enough?" Zhao Chen asked Han Chong with a cold face.
Han Chong suddenly felt a chill on his back.
"I am worried..."
"What are you worried about?" Zhao Chen interrupted Han Chong with an expressionless face.
Han Chong didn't dare to speak again.
Although Zhao Chen was young in front of him, Han Chong did not dare to contradict him.
On the contrary, his life and death were always held in Zhao Chen's hands.
He had seen Zhao Chen's methods and knew that he had made a big mistake today.
But he had no choice. Han Chong could not be the murderer who killed the Tang Dynasty officials.
Otherwise, if Han Chong encounters something in the future, others will treat him like this today.
Zhao Chen stared at Han Chong. What he couldn't understand was that Han Chong could not hesitate without hesitation regardless of the lives of the people.
But facing the life and death of a mere county magistrate, Han Chong did not dare to take action.
