Chapter 5294: The old thief is anxious when the army approaches the city
In the city of Guangzhou, in the governor's mansion.
Lu Gu was almost standing on one leg. He was sitting on the hut, anxious. Messengers from outside came in one after another, but none of them brought the news he wanted to hear.
"Report, old man, something serious has happened. The Jin Army, the Jin Army's fleet, including five or six hundred large ships, appeared off the coast of Guangzhou City, less than five miles away from the beach.
"A fisherman disciple, sweating profusely, barefoot and carrying a bamboo hat on his back, rushed in and shouted in a panic.
Lu Gu was lying leisurely on the couch, but he was so frightened that he almost jumped down. He stared at the visitor with his eyes wide open and shouted: "Is the news true? If you report the military situation in a panic, I will cut you into pieces."
you!"
This fisherman disciple was so anxious that he almost burst into tears: "Old man, how dare I be false in such news? The five frigates we sent to the outer sea were all captured by them. They are currently leading the way.
Going to the beach."
Lu Gu shouted anxiously: "Quickly, send out all the soldiers patrolling the beach, line up on the beach, put up all the anti-impact horses and roadblocks for me, let, let the fishermen in the sea
The people on the civilian boats fishing for pearls, including the Kunlun slaves, all organized themselves for me. They were not allowed to retreat or run away. They must fight for the divine religion and the heavenly master."
The fisherman disciple hurriedly said: "I came here to ask for help from you. I am the boss of a fishing boat and a registered disciple of the sect. Now, the beach is in chaos. Please send troops quickly."
Lu Gu had already regained some composure, sat up straight and said, "What's your name?"
The fisherman disciple said: "The young man's name is Zhu Youmin. He is a local man who has been fishing for a living for generations. When the Shen Cult first came to Guangzhou, he surrendered and even led the Shen Cult to attack the city. Therefore, he was named by the Shen Cult.
disciple."
Lu Gu nodded: "Very good, you were the first to report the news, and you were faster than the scouts and officers of our god's sect. Now you go back, pass my order, and tell Liu Meng, the incense master who patrols the beach,
Let him hold the Jin army back for me and buy time for the follow-up."
As he spoke, he took out a command arrow from a wooden tube at the head of the couch and threw it to Zhu Youmin. He said in a deep voice: "With this command arrow, you and a hundred fellow Taoists from the Governor's Mansion will go over to reinforce you and listen to Master Liu Xiang's control. Li
Where is the captain?"
An officer on duty at the door came in and saluted: "Li Pingzhi is here. Please give me your instructions."
Lu Gu glanced at Zhu Youmin and said: "You have heard the conversation just now, right? Now you lead a hundred people in your department and follow fellow Taoist Zhu Youmin to the beach. Under the control of Lord Liu Xiang, set up a defensive line."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Li Pingzhi's face: "How can a mere hundred people withstand Jin Gou's more than 500 warships and tens of thousands of troops? Please send more brothers to help me."
Lu Gu was so angry that he grabbed a small bowl at hand and threw it towards Li Pingzhi, hitting him on his body. The pungent smell of the soup filled the entire hall, and Lu Gu cursed: "I, the Governor of the Prefecture,
There are only 200 garrison troops here, and half of them have been sent over. Do you want me to go to the beach with you now?"
Li Pingzhi didn't dare to say anything anymore. He quickly knelt down and saluted: "It was a minor slip of the tongue. Please punish me. I will lead my subordinates over here."
Lu Gu gritted his teeth: "I want you to go over first to investigate the situation and verify Zhu Daoyou's return, and secondly to defend on the spot first. I will dispatch troops here as backup. If you can't stop them, you can also layer them up."
We must resist at all levels and return to the city wall to defend. Why are you panicking?"
Li Pingzhi glared at Zhu Youmin and cursed in his heart: "Grandma, you are the cause of all the bad things. When we get to the beach, I won't find a chance to torture you to death."
But he turned around and put a smile on his face: "Brother Zhu, thanks to you coming to report this time, the old man can be prepared. Don't worry, there are tens of thousands of our troops and thousands of Jin troops in this city. We have the ability to discipline him."
There is no return.”
Zhu Youmin nodded repeatedly and said: "The divine sect is powerful and invincible. Leader Lu and others have reached Jiankang in the front. This small group of Jin troops want to sneak attack. Of course they are no match. I will lead the way for Lieutenant Li now."
As he spoke, he turned around and trotted towards the outside of the Governor's Mansion. Li Pingzhi followed closely behind him and quickly disappeared outside. Lu Gu rolled his eyes and said to the beam behind him: "Where is Fan Hazi?
"
Above the beam, a black shadow came down from the pillar. A swordsman who was more than six feet tall, with a sinewy face and two long swords on his back, saluted Lu Gu and said: "Fan Hazi, captain of the second brigade of the General Altar Guard, see you.
Better than the old man."
Lu Gu gritted his teeth and said: "Take my token and go to Senior Brother Ruan Cifu who is guarding the city first. Ask him to close the city gate immediately and lead troops to defend the city. You also help him defend the city and don't worry about the people on the beach.
fighting."
While receiving the order, Fan Hazi was stunned on the spot and said in surprise: "No, wasn't it the old man who just said you wanted to help the beach defenders?"
Lu Gu curled his lips in disdain: "If what Zhu Youmin said is true, huh, there are five or six hundred ships, and the number of soldiers that can fight is at least ten or twenty thousand. We are in the city now, and the garrison on the beach is only three thousand.
There are more than 200 people on patrol. If you fight people on the beach, you will die. Even Liu Meng doesn't come to retaliate. Huh, I think he ran away long ago when the situation was bad. You go and defend the city with Ruan Cifu.
Let's hold off for as long as we can, if we really can't hold on."
At this point, Lu Gu's white eyebrows raised: "Hurry up and set fire to the warehouse, and then arrange for your subordinates to shout that the warehouse is on fire. Although the Beifu army can fight, they are very greedy. The purpose of fighting is nothing more than
Money or military exploits, if the treasury is on fire and all the pearls and agates are gone, we will definitely go there first to rob, so that you can have a chance to break out from the north gate."
Fan Hazi gritted his teeth: "If we really can't hold on and we break through, what will you do, old man? You have inconvenient legs and feet and are old. I swore to Master Lu that I would protect you with my life.
"
Lu Gu laughed, narrowed his eyes, and nodded: "Yes, yes, haha, Xun'er did not misjudge the person. In times of crisis, you are still loyal and reliable. Whatever, I just gave the order to the palace."
Huang Yanzhi, the captain of the city guard, handled the matter and asked him to take the remaining palace guards to meet Ruan Cifu and execute the order. If the city wall could be maintained, if it could not be maintained, he would first set fire to the warehouse, and then escape from the north gate. Heading towards the Yuexiu Mountain area outside the city.
Bai Lanbu, who killed Qianmo, came closer."
Fan Hazi took the token and asked: "What should my subordinates do?" (End of Chapter)
