The yamen servant looked at the prefect who was muttering to himself in fear, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, the magistrate suddenly calmed down, coughed slightly, and said calmly: "Go and call the Jingzhou Guards. Now there is a big trouble in Jingzhou. How can I ignore it and let the guards follow me out of the city and go to Xuzhou together?"
Reinforcements please."
"Sir!" The Yamen servant looked at the prefect in disbelief, his eyes full of shock.
Seeing the dumbfounded government officials, the prefect became angry and said, "Go quickly! You government officials are all going to the Jingzhou City Wall to defend against the Beidi Army. You can treat it as a life-saving talisman left by me to Jingzhou City."
The yamen servant was stunned for a moment, then suddenly lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "Yes."
After saying that, he strode to the government officials' room, called to the government officials who were willing to go with him to guard the Jingzhou city gate, and rushed to the city gate to resist the Beidi army, regardless of the prefect's instructions.
The prefect and his family, who had already packed their belongings, waited for no news about the escort. After asking, they found out that the yamen servant ignored his order, cursed a few times, and then sent the boy next to him to find the escort.
The general of the escort army was also a cowardly person who was colluding with the prefect. After hearing this, he hurriedly agreed, packed up his belongings and fled with a group of people from the prefect, without caring about the lives of the people in Jingzhou City.
After hearing the news that Jingzhou City was surrounded by the Beidi Army, Jiang Hexi and others, who had originally taken advantage of the snow finally stopping and rushed to Jingzhou City to see how Linlang Pavilion and Yun Ni Xuan's business was doing recently, were also surprised.
"Girl, what should we do?" Li Lanhua grabbed Jiang Hexi's sleeve and swallowed harder, trembling with fear.
Even Chen Shuanzi, who was much calmer, frowned and his feet were spinning in anxiety.
"Shuanzi, calm down." Chen Gui, who was on the side, grabbed Chen Shuanzi's collar and gave him a warning look.
Chen Shuanzi smiled and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Jiang Hexi's face was heavy, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Don't panic. Although the Beidi Army has attacked the city now, with the solidity of the Jingzhou City Gate, there will definitely be no problem in sustaining it for more than ten days."
"What we have to do now is calm down and wait for reinforcements to arrive."
"But girl, the Huo family's army is not in the city now, and the prefect has escaped with his escort!" Ye Qing, who had gone out to inquire about the news, ran in, panting and lamenting, holding his chest.
Hearing this, several people were shocked and their eyes were full of disbelief.
"It's over, we are hopeless." Cheng Fangniang collapsed to the ground, covering her face and crying bitterly.
Even Li Lanhua and Chen Shuanzi couldn't help but choke.
Jiang Hexi's face turned pale, she gritted her teeth and told Chen Gui: "Brother Chen, you should go back to the village immediately, take Ayun, Axuan and Narentuoya to Xuzhou, and come back when it is safe."
"Lan Hua, Shuan Zi, Xiao Qing, Fang Niang, you should run for your lives too." With that said, Jiang Hexi was about to walk out of the door.
Li Lanhua hurriedly stopped her, took her arm and wailed: "Girl, where are you going? Let's run away together?"
"No, Jingzhou City is the first line of defense against Beidi, and it is also the most stable city gate. If Jingzhou is lost, Xuzhou's flat terrain will inevitably be undefendable soon, so Jingzhou must not be lost!"
"I want to go to the city gate to help. Now the guards in Jingzhou City are fragile. It is a strength to have more strength. I want to go and see how the situation is over there?" Jiang Hexi touched Li Lanhua's cheek lovingly, and said softly.
smiled.
Li Lanhua shook her head in dismay, grabbed Jiang Hexi's arm and said, "No, I won't leave, I want to be with the girl."
"I won't leave either. Wherever the girl is, I will be there!" Chen Shuanzi said stubbornly with his eyes red and his neck twitching.
Ye Qing wiped away his tears, said with trembling hands but a calm face: "I won't leave either. My boss gave me a mouthful of food. I can't leave my boss. Without my boss, I would still be living on the street without food.
A poorly clothed little beggar.”
"I'm not leaving either. I want to follow my boss. I don't want to go back to that home that only sucks my blood. This is my home." Cheng Fangniang also hugged Jiang Hexi's other arm and cried, her expression calming down.
"Okay, let's help guard the city gate together." Jiang Hexi's heart warmed, and she turned to look at Chen Gui pleadingly.
Chen Gui understood what she meant and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely take good care of the two young masters and Naren Tuoya."
"Please." Jiang Hexi smiled at him, then turned to Ye Qing and told him: "Lanhua, you and Fang Niang take all the money in our shop to the pharmacy to buy hemostatic medicine, cloth strips and other things, and then send them to the city gate.
, it’s best to invite the doctor over.”
"Shuanzi, you go to Miss Ruan and ask her to intercede with Mr. Ruan and ask him to help let the servants of Ruan Mansion guard the city gate. It is best to call on the wealthy businessmen around to help. They have many guards in their homes. They must be all
A good helper in defending the city."
"Xiaoqing, come with me to the city gate."
"Yes, girl." Several people responded seriously and went about their business.
Jiang Hexi looked up at the already darkening sky, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, then she calmed down and hurried to the city gate.
Ye Qing hurriedly followed.
After several cups of tea, Jiang Hexi finally ran to the gate of Jingzhou City.
Looking at the originally magnificent and simple city gate in front of me, it was now filled with soldiers who were sweating and sweating and desperately defending the city. From time to time, cries and screams could be heard, and a steady stream of wounded soldiers were carried down, but they were immediately
Added new guards.
The tragic sight of the river of blood in front of her was so frightening that Jiang Hexi's teeth trembled and trembled, but she gritted her teeth and stared at the soldiers fighting bloody battles on the city wall with her red eyes, and a large tear suddenly slipped down her cheek.
"Girl..." Ye Qing was trembling all over, and felt his stomach churning. His hands and feet seemed to be frozen, unable to move at all, and he stared blankly at the messy Jingzhou City Gate in front of him.
"Let's go." Jiang Hexi's soft voice sounded.
The light blue figure moved quickly in the sea of blood, making it particularly conspicuous. The woman's skirt was stained with vermilion blood as she swayed, but her expression was calm and composed, and she ran straight to the city wall without hesitation.
"General Huo, I wonder if you still remember the little girl."
The captain, who was originally busy commanding the soldiers to defend the city, was stunned for a moment. When he turned around, he found a figure he had not seen for a long time. He was shocked and exclaimed: "Miss Jiang! Why are you here? Leave quickly!"
"General Huo, I'm here to help you defend the city." Jiang Hexi shook her head, but her tone was very firm.
Seeing what the captain wanted to say, Jiang Hexi waved his hand and said hurriedly: "General Huo, do we still have the oil that Mr. Song dug last time in Jingzhou City?"
"Yes! It's in the room next to the weapons depot." The captain said hurriedly, looking at Jiang Hexi in confusion.
Hearing this, Jiang Hexi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I can't explain it now, but the oil decision is a sharp weapon in war. I kindly ask General Huo to send someone to get the oil. The more the better."
"Zhang Xiaojiang, take people to move the oil quickly!" Captain Huo Shiba was puzzled, but he still told the soldiers on the side.
The skinny soldier responded hurriedly and hurried to the vicinity of the weapons depot.
After a while, several soldiers came over carrying oil.
"Miss Jiang, what should we do now?" Huo Shiba looked at her expectantly. After all, he had been with Huo Jingchen for a long time and knew some things.
"General Huo, could you please ask the soldiers to pour the oil on the Beidi Army? You can also use a trebuchet to load the oil and project it on the Beidi Army." Jiang Hexi pointed to the oil and added: "Then attack with rockets.
The Beidi Army must accurately shoot the rocket at the place where the oil is spilled."
Hearing this, Huo Shiba's eyes lit up, and he understood Jiang Hexi's intention, and quickly ordered the soldiers to pour oil.
Not far below the city wall, Batur, who was watching the progress of the siege, narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the light blue figures that suddenly appeared among the black-clad soldiers and their strange actions.
"Who is that woman?" Batur was born with excellent eyesight and could see Jiang Hexi's figure clearly at once.
The entourage on the side glanced at the city wall, pondered for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates heard that there is a strange woman in Jingzhou City who is a business genius. The mirror treasure that the King of Dongsa gave to the princess was made by her. She also
Having made good friends with General Weiyuan and his military advisor, she must be that woman."
"Oh? Is that Huo Jingchen's woman?" Batur touched his chin with interest and looked at the light blue figure on the city wall leisurely, with a trace of unknown light flashing in his eyes.
The attendant could not see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "I must have an unknown relationship between this woman and General Huo. Otherwise, why do spies always see them together?"
"According to the reports from the scouts, the prefect and the guards of Jingzhou City have now fled. Jingzhou City will definitely be captured soon. It is not up to the king to decide what to do with General Huo's people then," the entourage said flatteringly.
.
Hearing this, Batur burst out laughing, his dirty eyes kept scanning towards the city wall, and said with a chuckle: "Huo Jingchen has killed so many of my people, and I will let his women be buried with the Beidi Army later."
!”
"My king is mighty." The attendant hurriedly congratulated and smiled flatteringly.
Jiang Hexi, who was busy on the city wall, suddenly noticed a sinister sight, as if she should have felt it. When she looked over there, she found a tall and burly Beidi man waving the sword in his hand at her, but he smiled very much.
Arrogant.
Jiang Hexi looked at him expressionlessly for a moment, then muttered something to Huo Shiba who was standing aside.
Hearing this, Huo Shiba's eyes lit up and he hurriedly gave a few instructions to the soldiers on the side.
Jiang Hexi also winked at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing understood this and hurriedly left with the soldiers.
"Spill it on me!"
Following Huo Shiba's roar, thick oil fell on the Beidi Army like rain.
