Chapter 65 Crisis
Wenxi County repelled another wave of attack from the government army. Zhang Zhiguo sat on the ground, gasping for breath, and threw the sword with gaps aside weakly.
Today is the third day of Wenxi County being besieged. In the past three days, the government troops have launched countless attacks and can attack the city almost every time. The city is covered with corpses with extremely miserable deaths, flowing.
The blood dyed the entire city head dark red. The surviving soldiers had long lost their luster on their faces and sat numbly on the ground to rest.
"I've given a reward, I've given a reward." Several people carried the bulky box and came to the top of the city. With a thump, the box was heavily placed on the ground. The officer on the side pulled out his sword and slashed the big lock on the box with force.
Opened, kicked the lid open, revealing the thing in the box, and it turned out to be a box of silver.
The silver-white light pricked the soldiers resting around them, and the soldiers' eyes gradually became greedy in their originally unsightly eyes.
This is the secret to keeping Wenxi County in the past few days, silver. Every time the official army is repelled, there are always officers carrying a whole box of silver to the top of the city. Each living person has at least five taels of silver, killing and wounding officers and soldiers.
Or if you are injured, you will calculate separately.
Such a simple and direct way of rewards, coupled with the small number of officials, has enabled Wenxi County to stick to it until now.
But even so, fewer and fewer soldiers guarding the city. After all, if you have the life to earn, you have to spend your life. The dense corpses on the top of the city show that this money is not easy to earn.
Now there are less than 15,000 soldiers in the city with minor injuries.
Zhang Zhiguo ignored the soldiers who were receiving the rewards. His eyes turned to a flagpole at the highest point of the city tower. There was a man tied to the bottom of the flagpole, but it turned out to be a tiger sitting on the ground.
Zhang Zhiguo looked at the figure of the sitting tiger, and his eyes showed admiration.
It turned out that the day after the official army besieged the city, the Tiger was unable to stand because of his injuries. However, in order to let all the soldiers see him and let all the soldiers know that their leader did not abandon the plate and flee alone, so
He ordered the master to tie himself to the highest point on the city's head, and asked all the soldiers in the city to see the palm of the plate with them.
"The Tiger of the Earth is really a man." Zhang Zhi admired the Tiger of the Earth in his heart, but when he thought of his master's plan, Zhang Zhiguo could only sigh.
"The palm plate was injured." Suddenly, a sound suddenly sounded, and everyone who heard the sound stood up and rushed towards the direction of the sitting tiger.
Zhang Zhiguo pushed away the crowd watching in front and squeezed to the side of the Tiger. The Tiger was already in a coma, with three arrows on his body, two arrows on his legs, and one arrow on his lower abdomen, and blood was soaked in his clothes.
It’s not good to tie it in a clear place. You can see it by your own people, and of course the enemy can see it.
"Hurry up and put down the plate." The ruling on the side gave the order, and the soldiers around him rushed forward and rescued the tiger sitting on the ground from the flagpole.
"The doctor is here, the doctor is here," someone shouted.
The crowd avoided and flashed a path. An old man with gray hair, carrying a wooden box along the passage, came to the ground tiger.
Seeing the appearance of a sitting tiger, the doctor frowned into a Sichuanzi, "Everyone can dodge, it's too boring to be surrounded by you."
The doctor put his hand on the forehead of the Tiger, which was so hot that it was scary. He untied the clothes in front of the Tiger. Seeing the arrow wound inside, he saw the wound swollen and pus flowed out of it. This is a typical example.
Signs of inflammation of the wound.
"Doctor, how about the body of the palm of the plate?" the master asked anxiously.
"The general's injuries are not optimistic. It's hard to say whether he can withstand this disaster. Now he must immediately carry the general to the room to rest and treat him."
"Okay," the master agreed and waved his hand to attract a few soldiers, "You carry the general to the general's residence, be careful."
More than a dozen soldiers stepped forward to help, and within a short while, they had already carried the Tiger to his residence.
He stopped everyone outside the door, and the master and the doctor entered the room to treat the wounds of the Tiger. From time to time, he took out large pieces of white cloth stained with pus and blood from the room, and everyone at the door was shocked.
When the sun sets west, the doctor with a tired face walked out with the master. Everyone hurriedly gathered up at the door and asked the doctor, "Doctor, how are you doing with the plate?"
However, the doctor did not speak, but just shook his head gently and sighed. When everyone saw his expression, their hearts suddenly became cold.
"Palm plate, why did you leave like this?" Someone was already crying.
"What are you crying? The palm is not dead yet." The master frowned and scolded the man.
Not dead? Then why are you shaking your head? Everyone looked at the doctor again, wishing they could come forward and beat him up.
"Although Zhangpan is not dead now, I am afraid I can't wake up in a short period of time." The master swept the people present, "But now the officers and soldiers are siegeing the city more and more. What should we do if you guys say?"
Everyone fell into deep thought and looked at each other with familiar people from time to time.
"I think since I am sick in controlling plates, we will choose the division to take charge of military positions temporarily. After the official army is defeated and the plate is recovered, the plate will take over the position," someone suggested.
"I am a low-minded person, how can I take charge of military affairs?" The master was modest, but his eyes looked at Zhao Hao and signaled him to speak.
Zhao Hao received the look of the master and hesitated for a moment, but he still said, "I agree, I'm sick at this time, but the snake has no head, let alone this moment of crisis. So I agree that the master will temporarily take over the military service.
.”
"I object," as soon as this statement came out, people around him looked at each other. It turned out that it was Li Jian, a general under the command of the Tiger. "The plate is in danger now. How can we discuss the removal of the plate here?"
"What do you think should I do?" someone asked.
"I think we should do our best to treat the palm plate. After waking the palm plate, we can command the army even if he is on the bed." Li Jian's words were decisive and immediately won the support of many people.
Seeing that the situation almost turned around, the master was so anxious that his internal organs were burned. However, he was not easy to speak about this matter, so he had to keep winking at Zhang Zhiguo.
Zhang Zhiguo sighed and said, "I also agree to let the division take the military service temporarily. I don't know when the plate will wake up. Have we been waiting here?"
"You..." Li Jian pointed at Zhang Zhiguo, and almost spitted on him, "Okay, Zhang Zhiguo, you are in vain to treat you with such preferential treatment. How dare you betray the plate?"
"How is this called betrayal? This is just a temporary solution that I came up with before I woke up my palm." Zhang Zhiguo naturally would not let a junior point at his nose and curse.
"You..." Li Jian wanted to say something else.
However, he was interrupted by the master, "Okay, okay, we are all for us, and we are all for the plate. There is nothing to betray or not."
