"What's wrong with running away all the time? Junior sister, let me tell you, it's very dangerous for you to do this! Next time if I see you running around because you're angry, be careful that I'm not polite to you, go back!"

After being scolded, Aoshuangxue didn't dare to be stubborn anymore. She also knew that it was wrong for her to run out like this, so she went back obediently.

In fact, Chi Zhongtian scolded him, which made him feel uncomfortable, but he knew that this kind of thing could not be tolerated, especially now that no one in the world knew about the relationship between Ao Shuangxue and him. Those who hated Chi Zhongtian,

It's impossible to deal with Chi Zhongtian, but there is always a way to deal with Aoshuangxue.

If you develop this habit, once someone finds out, the consequences will be very serious.

After returning, Chi Zhongtian asked her to go back to the room alone to think about it, and then went out alone.

...

Two days later.

Ke Si led 10,000 elite soldiers and ten red-coated artillery pieces to the gates of Mengliang City.

Li Liang, the county magistrate of Meng Liangcheng, and Li Zhen, the general of the patrol camp, were already waiting on the tower.

When they saw the dark crowd of soldiers below and the conspicuous artillery mounted on ten wheelbarrows, they felt as cold as the name of the county magistrate.

"General Li, this time, it seems they are not just asking for something." Li Liang said.

Li Zhen nodded and said: "It seems they are going to attack us."

"Oh, it's only a matter of time. If it comes sooner, it will be released sooner."

"Yes, sooner or later, our city's savings are running low, the food is almost gone, and the people won't be able to survive for a few more days."

At this time, Li Liang looked at the patrol battalion soldiers, county government officials, and some young adults standing around him, and suddenly felt inexplicably sad in his heart.

There were only a few hundred people in the patrol camp, but outside the city, there were at least tens of thousands of enemy troops, not counting the powerful artillery.

There is no way to fight this battle. The enemy can kill them even if they use a large number of people.

"General Li, I now order you to take the soldiers from the patrol camp and the county government officials and leave from the west gate. There is a ravine near the west gate. When you get to the ravine, don't go out. Just hide in the mountain. Maybe

I can hide for a while."

"Sir, are you kidding me? I am the general of the patrol camp. How could I abandon the city and escape?"

"General Li! The patrol camp is under the jurisdiction of the South Road Camp, and I am under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Although they are both under the rule of the imperial court, their responsibilities are different. I cannot leave under any circumstances, but you can leave. You

There is no need to waste your life here!"

"Sir, you don't have to say it. I, Li Zhen, am not a hero. In this life, I will never be promoted or make a fortune. But there is one thing. I won't leave. If I fight with them, the worst I can do is die!"

"General Lee!"

"Sir, I will lead people to rush out. After leaving, you will close the city gate. Then you will take your family and leave from the west gate. If you can run, run away. If you can't run, just hide in the mountains. If you are afraid of punishment from the court, just

Just don't go back, you have been loyal to an isolated city for so long!" Li Zhen said.

Just when the two of them were arguing here, Ke Si spoke.

"People above, listen carefully, open the city gate and surrender, and spare your life, otherwise, these artillery cannons are not smart!"

"How can a noble minister of the Hua Xia Dynasty be humiliated by a village of bandits like you? Little thief, wait, grandpa will go out and chop you down right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhen suddenly grabbed a steel knife from the hands of the soldiers next to him, and then ran to the bottom of the tower.

"Stop! Stop!"

Li Liang called him hurriedly, but who could stop him?

Fortunately, there were county government officials and policemen at the city gate, and they only listened to Li Liang's orders.

"General, you can't go out until the city gate is opened."

"Bold! I am the general of the patrol camp and open the city gate!"

"No one can do it!" several detectives said firmly.

"General Li! Don't be impulsive. Things will not turn around. Just wait for me!"

Li Liang walked halfway along the steps and said hello, then returned to the tower.

"People below, listen, we can give you money and food!" Li Liang shouted.

"Today we don't want food or money, we just want your city. Come and set up all the artillery for me!"

As he spoke, the muzzles of the ten red-coated cannons were aimed at the tower. The muzzles were not too big. In Li Liang's eyes, they were like the devil's mouth, capable of swallowing them up at any time.

"I'll count to three. If you don't surrender, I'll fire!"

"one!"

"two!"

"Wait, wait!" Li Liang was sweating profusely now. If he didn't open the city gate, he couldn't withstand it. If he opened the city gate, that would be surrender.

"Three, fire!"

Following Kesi's order, a red-coated cannon fired at the city gate, and the huge roar instantly frightened everyone on the city tower to the ground.

This shot did not blow up the city gate or wall too much, but the momentum was too scary. With this thing, who in Mengliang City still has the slightest intention to resist?

"Let me out, let me out and chop him!"

Below, Li Zhen's roar was still heard.

After Li Liang thought about it, he finally said helplessly: "Okay, we will open the city gate, but you must agree to one condition! Otherwise, I will fight to the death and not surrender!"

"Okay, you say it!"

"After you enter the city, do not disturb the people."

"Is this the condition?"

"right!"

"Haha, it's simple. You can go and ask around. Our Fuyu Holy Cult has taken over so many cities. Are the people in any city having a bad life?"

Li Liang believed Kesi's words, because he also inquired about the people's lives in the surrounding cities. I can't say they were much better than before, but at least they didn't suffer, and they were almost the same as before.

"good!"

After Li Liang said this, he said to the people around him: "You all go down and prepare to open the city gate to let them in."

"Sir, let's fight them!"

"That's right, sir, let's fight them!"

"Fight!"

"Fight it, fight it!"

Li Liang held back tears and said: "Brothers, it's useless. We can't defeat them, so why die in vain? After surrender, you still have to live well."

After saying this, Li Liang walked to the bottom of the city tower and said to the government officials at the city gate: "Open the city gate and surrender."

"My lord, I can't, my lord, I can't!"

"You guys, tie up General Li and send him out of the west gate. Remember, don't come back after sending him out!"

"yes!"
