Chapter 1327: Late at Night
In the early winter, the sun is setting quickly, and the sun is still setting, and in the blink of an eye, it is already nightfall.
"Look, it's getting dark, and the third day is going to pass, and there's no trace of the widows."
The man who had complained before looked hard at the dark night in the distance on the city wall, and there was no trace of anyone in the night, and he scolded again.
"But no, as the saying goes, again and again, the third day is about to pass, and the widows have not come. It seems that the Japanese will not come again. Our county lord is a tiger napping this time......" The man who complained with him before also said.
"Hehe......" The locals glanced at them meaningfully and replied.
The two replied, "Hey ......", slandering in their hearts, the county is not a fairy, what can we do if we are wrong once, and our gratitude to the county will not be reduced much.
The night grew darker and darker, and it wasn't long before the night reached the point where you couldn't see your fingers, and there was still silence outside the city, except for the occasional scream or two.
"Another day of fear in vain! Let's go home, go home and go to sleep, and we won't be scared anymore. The Wako is not a dog raised by the county, and the county will not predict the prophet......"
"It's ......"
The two stayed on the city wall for a while, tugged at the corners of their mouths, muttered a few words, and walked down.
However, before the two of them could take the next step, they heard a commotion behind them.
"Look, there's someone coming straight to the gates."
"Oh, really, it's so fast......"
"The Woko is coming......"
An exclamation on the city wall reached the ears of the two of them, and the two of them couldn't help but pause, and the timid one of them had weak legs on the spot, and if he hadn't held on to the wall in time, he would have to roll down in fright.
The two looked at each other, as if they had been shaken by thunder, their heads were smoking, and they said in trembling voices, "Is the Japanese really here?" ”
"Brother, brother, please help me, let's go down and find a cellar, a stinking ditch or something to hide. I hope we will be blessed with great fortunes, and the Japanese will not find us......"
The timid man clasped the wall, trembling uncontrollably, and said to the man tremblingly.
"Huh? Yes! Yes, you can ......" The man couldn't help but panic when he heard the Japanese coward.
Seeing this, the locals on the city wall looked at them with a sneer, took out a pig-killing knife from his sleeve, spat on the pig-killing knife vigorously, and said to himself, "Old brother, today we can fight side by side again, last time I didn't let you drink enough blood of the Japanese Koukou, today I will take you to drink a full meal." ”
After finishing speaking, the locals squeezed to the front line of the city wall with pig-killing knives, with a determined face.
"Crazy him, don't look at the widow is not tall, he wears like a flower, but he is superb in martial arts, with a three-foot long knife at the waist, cutting gold and breaking iron, killing people without blinking, and eating people without salt...... He took a pig-killing knife and went up, isn't this the old birthday star who thinks his life is long?! ”
Seeing this, the two couldn't help but say.
"The widow is here, and Lao Tzu's daughter-in-law finally has the money......"
"Borrowed, I didn't go up to the city wall last time, I regretted it for half a year, and this time I won't say anything anymore."
In the blink of an eye, a large number of people with dung forks, shovels, red tassel guns and other weapons crowded past them, scrambling to occupy the battlements, and looked out of the city with bright eyes.
"What's the situation, can madness be contagious?! These people are all crazy, right?! ”
When the two saw so many people rushing forward, they were completely stunned and muttered to themselves.
"No, it's not a wolf, that's our person, that's the official Zhang Ergou, I know." A sharp-eyed person noticed the clue and couldn't help but loudly remind the surrounding people.
"Well, it's really not Zhang Ergou, behind him is the iron egg that the dog says, and he is also a servant."
Soon someone recognized several people from outside the city who were quickly approaching the city gate, and shouted.
"Huh?! It's not a wolf. When the two of them heard this, the tension and worry on their faces were swept away, and their bodies quickly relaxed again, and they said with some excitement, "I'll just say, how can the Japanese come when they say they come?!" ”
Soon, under the watchful eyes of everyone, several torches from outside the city came to the city gate and began to call for the door.
It was Zhang Erniu and Tie Dan.
"Erniu, Tiedan, the county lord ordered you to closely monitor the coast, why did you run back?! The gates of this city shall not be opened. The county has an order, and without the order of the county, no city gate shall be opened. ”
The officer on the city wall asked.
"There is a situation on the sea, hundreds of Hachiman boats appeared on the sea, straight to my Jingnan, Hachiman boats are the usual warships of the Japanese Kou, after the leader noticed this situation, he quickly ordered us to come to the prefectural honor. Lao Zhang, since the city gate can't be opened, then send the basket down quickly, and we will go up in the basket, so that we can report the situation to the county in time. ”
Zhang Erniu and others explained loudly under the city gate, urging the messengers on the city wall to put down the basket.
After verifying his identity again, he soon hung down the two cradles with ropes on the city wall, and dragged Zhang Erniu and the iron lock up one by one. After Zhang Erniu and the others came up, they quickly went down the city wall and told Zhu Ping'an the news that the Japanese were approaching the Jingnan Sea.
"The Woko are really here!!"
"The Woko are really here!!"
When the two people on the side of the city wall heard this, they looked at each other, dumbfounded, and shocked. How could they have thought that the county respected that the Japanese were coming, and the Japanese were really coming!
Soon, the news of the arrival of the Japanese invaders spread throughout Jingnan County, although Zhu Ping'an had already reminded everyone, but when they heard the news, everyone was still shocked and afraid.
"The Japanese are really here, these Japanese who kill a thousand knives are too insidious and treacherous, and they actually attacked in the middle of the night. If there is no reminder from the county, how can we discover the tricks of the widows! Who would have thought that the would-be would-be would-be attacked at night. On this big night, everyone must have fallen asleep at home, if there is no reminder from the county, I don't know how many families have been murdered; If there is no reminder from the county, I am afraid that the county seat may also be attacked by the Japanese invaders......"
"These would-be robbers who killed a thousand knives came late at night, and they were going to start the rhythm of killing."
"The county is really a god, saying that the Japanese are coming, so we are moved to avoid in advance, and the Japanese are really here. Our village is on the seashore, and when a thousand swords of Japanese invaders, we must be the first to suffer. Thank you for the county, if it weren't for the county, I'm afraid that at this moment, our whole family would have suffered......"
People were scared and rejoiced, and they were afraid that the would-be wouldn't attack late at night, and they were glad that the county had notified them in advance, and they had taken precautions to avoid in advance, otherwise, they were afraid that they would be in a catastrophe tonight.
