A shrill shout broke through the dark night, making the people of Yingwu County who were putting out the fire stunned. Until the street market, several constables ran towards the county government like crazy, and news of barbarians attacking the city were almost spread.
All over the streets and alleys.
At the entrance of the alley, Zhan Feiyu looked at the city gate with a serious expression, "Has the barbarians bypassed the camp in Weizhou?"
Although Xiangwu County is located on the border, it will not be too dangerous as long as there is no war. The Weizhou Camp has 10,000 troops garrisoned there. If it is a small group of enemies, the Weizhou Camp can directly send troops to annihilate it.
If the enemy is coming in a fierce manner, ignite the beacon and send people to ask for help, not only the surrounding battalions can send troops to support immediately, but the garrison also has a lot of troops.
Moreover, there are a total of 300,000 troops stationed in Longyou Road. Even if the barbarians and foreign tribes come out in full, they are not afraid of it. This is because the emperor allocates a large amount of military pay from the Ministry of Revenue every year to the army, which can only raise a strong army of 300,000 troops.
At this moment, when he heard the barbarians bypassing the border camp and actually arrived outside the gate of Yingwu County, Zhan Feiyu was shocked, and He Nuan was also puzzled.
It took an hour to get to Yingwu County even if the horses ran fast. How did this barbarian avoid the scouts of Weizhou Camp and arrived at Yingwu County?
He Sheng just carried the old woman's two granddaughters out of the fire, his hair was a little bit shivered by the flames, and several large blisters were burned on the back of his hands.
"Miss, go back to Qiu Mansion first!" He Sheng spoke in a deep voice, his eyebrows were stained with solemnity. No matter what happened in the army, his first priority was to protect the lady's safety.
Almost as He Sheng spoke, four more people stood behind Zhan Feiyu, looking around in the dark with sharp eyes. If it was just a fire, even if someone set fire, they could fully protect the lady with their skills.
.
But if the barbarians attack the city, once the enemy attacks in, there will be chaos at that time. Even if they are all masters who fight against hundreds of enemies, they may not be able to protect the lady's care.
"Miss, the walls of the Qiu Mansion are high, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the barbarians enter the city, they are all burning, killing and robbing them. And when the news is dawn, it will be safe as long as we stick to it for a few hours.
"He Nuan swept away the gentleness of the past, held the sword in his right hand, and murderous aura condensed in his eyes.
If it weren't forbidden to be in the right direction, He Nuan wanted to force Zhan Feiyu back to Qiu Mansion. She knew very well that this was different from the fire just now.
Although He Sheng and the others followed Zhan Feiyu's order and entered the fire, in addition to He Nuan, there were two people in the secret. If danger really happened, He Sheng and others could come back immediately, so even Zhan Feiyu was willful
One thing, He Nuan and the others never stopped it.
But it is different at this moment. I don’t know how many enemies there are outside the city gate. County Magistrate Zhu was originally a stupid official with a corpse and the city gates of Xiangwu County were probably disrepaired and the city walls were not strong.
The total number of constables and yamen runners in the county government is less than 100. Even the stewards of the wealthy families in the county town have been on the city tower, including the people, but the number will definitely not exceed 500, or even more.
few.
Outside the city gate, there are at least thousands of enemies, maybe even three to five thousand, and they are all enemies wearing armor and holding weapons.
Compared with the well-trained and good at fighting barbarian enemy troops, the constables and soldiers in Xiangwu County are simply mobs. Once the city gate is broken, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Miss!" He Sheng urged uneasyly.
As long as they are guarding in Qiu Mansion and not leaving, with He Sheng and his fellow soldiers, not to mention the barbarian team of more than a dozen or twenty people, even if there are hundreds of people, they can still defend Qiu Mansion by relying on the walls.
Zhan Feiyu looked at the people who were running around like headless flies in panic. If the fire just happened, only a few people were crying.
But at this moment, when he heard the news of the barbarians siege, almost all the women and children cried. Zhan Feiyu could imagine that if the barbarians rushed into the county town, even if it was only a few hours, there would be corpses everywhere and blood flowed into a river.
.
"Let's go to the city gate!" When Zhan Feiyu spoke, He Sheng, He Nuan and others felt a slump, but it was also an expected result.
Zhan Feiyu looked at He Nuan with a firm look, "No need to say, let's leave now."
"Yes, Miss." He Nuan put away the sword and hugged Zhan Feiyu with one hand. Then several figures flew towards the city gate like a gust of wind.
...
"Sir, what should I do?" The soldier who was responsible for guarding the city gate trembled his voice. He looked at the dark people under the city gate, and his legs kept trembling.
County Magistrate Feng wiped his face hard. Who knew how these barbarians appeared? He just took a look and found at least three thousand people.
On the city wall, twenty or thirty soldiers dared not speak. They just followed Feng County Magistrate to put out the fire, worried that those rogues would take advantage of the situation to rob. After all, the New Year will be celebrated in two days, and every household has bought a lot of New Year's goods and silver.
It must have been saved a little too.
If these people take advantage of the fire and steal things and run out of the city, they will come back in three or five days, where will the constable find someone to find something?
So County Magistrate Feng simply asked someone to close the city gate and sent four people to guard the city gate to prevent the thieves from stealing things and running out of the city.
Fortunately, there is no way out. If it weren't for this, Feng County Wei and the others would not have discovered the barbarian enemy at the first time. Once the three thousand enemy troops marched straight into the county town, I'm afraid that the entire Yingwu would be the first to be found.
There is no more living person in the county.
"Sir, why don't we run away too?" A thin soldier spoke tremblingly. They were guarding here. Once the barbarians broke into the city, they were the first to die.
It would be better to take advantage of the moment to escape and find a remote or secret place. Maybe you can escape the disaster. After all, as soon as the sky is dawn, there will be a guard in Weizhou camp and the garrison will definitely find the barbarians entering the city. When reinforcements arrive, the barbarians will be
They will definitely run away, and they will be safe.
"Shut up!" He shouted angrily. County Wei Feng looked at the soldiers who wanted to be deserters with a cold look, and sneered coldly: "Can you hide alone? But where are your parents? Where are your brothers and sisters?
Can't even hide?"
The scolded soldier shrank for a moment. His parents had already died. The wife at home only married last year. As long as he was safe, he could still marry again without a wife. What's more, when the barbarians escaped, he might have to wait for the barbarians to escape.
I can also go to the rich family to find some money, and then I will have the money to marry two wives.
"Who?" Suddenly, a trembling inquiry sounded, which scared the twenty or thirty soldiers who were already uneasy, fearing that there were barbarians in the city, and they would come over to open the city gate and let the enemy outside.
Come in.
County Magistrate Feng held the big knife in his hand tightly and looked at the people walking over under the light of the torch. He couldn't help but be stunned, "Miss Zhan, you?"
It’s not that Feng County Magistrate was shocked. At this critical moment, a little girl Zhan Feiyu actually came to the most dangerous city tower. Of course, Feng County Magistrate was not surprised by He Sheng, He Nuan and others around her. This is
Mr. Gu’s disciple held the Forbidden Dragon Guard token in his hand, not to mention bringing more than ten guards, even more of them were normal.
This is the third time Zhan Feiyu has seen Feng County Weiwei. He has followed the county magistrate Zhu several times before. Although he has seen him, he has never talked. Before, and with Meigu and his party, Zhan Feiyu has also met Feng County Weiwei.
My daughter is a versatile person.
"Miss, there are at least three thousand people." He Sheng's face was solemn. Compared with the dark enemies outside the city, there were only twenty or thirty soldiers on the city tower. The key was that one of them was dejected and had no morale at all.
Compared with He Sheng and his friends who could see in the night, Zhan Feiyu could only see a rough idea, "They are not sieging the city at this moment, so they must be waiting for the city gate to open."
No matter how weak the troops in Xiangwu County are, after all, there is still this city gate wall. If you attack the city, there will inevitably be casualties. But once the city gate is opened from the inside, three thousand barbarians will be able to come in without any effort.
Then, waving the butcher's knife, the people in the city will become ghosts under the sword.
He Sheng looked back at the Xiangwu County behind him. He could clearly see twenty or thirty houses that caught fire in the darkness. The arson tonight had two purposes.
First, in order to let the county yamen runners go to put out the fire, no one guarded the city gate, and the constables were all scattered. Once the barbarians came in, they could defeat them one by one, as if no one was in.
Realm of.
Secondly, it is to facilitate the barbarian spies lurking in the city to come and open the city gate.
"Asheng, take everyone to the city gate to guard. If you find a barbarian, kill them without any matter!" Zhan Feiyu had calmed down. It was probably because the wind on the city tower was too cold and his mind was extremely clear.
"Prince Feng, take everyone here back immediately and summon everyone who can be summoned. Once the agreed time is up and the city gate is not opened, the barbarians will definitely forcibly attack the city."
Zhan Feiyu knew very well that by that time, He Sheng and the others would not do anything. The county government officials, including those servants, all those who could go up to the city tower must come up to guard the city gate.
"Miss Zhan, even so, we have too few people. It is better to go to the garrison and the camp to deliver letters." Feng County Wei spoke quickly. Although he raised objections, he did not dislike Zhan Feiyu's "overreach".
", it is enough to be admired that she, a little girl, can stand here at this time.
Not to mention whether this letter can be sent out, the key is that it takes at least two hours to go back and forth, and the distance cannot dissolve the near fire.
"I will send someone to send a letter." Zhan Feiyu glanced downstairs again. If there were artillery at this time, not to mention three thousand enemies, even 30,000 would not be afraid.
But now we can only fight with swords and swords, three hundred vs. three thousand, and I guess we will not even be left with a scum.
"Prince Feng, after summoning the manpower, you immediately ask the elderly, weak, women and children in the city to send all the oil stored in their homes." Zhan Feiyu spoke quickly, "and then let them boil water..."
After a quick explanation, Zhan Feiyu handed over the token of the Dragon Guard, but the crisp voice was filled with a sharp murderous aura, "If those merchants and wealthy merchants refuse to cooperate, tell them to wait for the Dragon Guard to come in the future.
Come find them in person!”
This is the token of the Forbidden Dragon Guard! Who dares not agree? Otherwise, even if they escaped the barbarian sword today, they will definitely die under the sword of the Forbidden Dragon Guard in the future.
County Magistrate Feng took the token with both hands, "I'll go immediately!"
The strong wind on the city tower brought a biting chill. Zhan Feiyu watched Feng County Wei and the others leave and looked outside the city gate.
...
… “Miss Zhan, even so, there are still too few people in our country. It is better to go to the garrison and the camp to deliver letters.” Feng County Wei spoke quickly. Although he raised objections, he did not dislike Zhan Feiyu’s “
