When it was ugly, in the dead of night, the birds were silent, and Zhu Ping'an was still waving in the study, preparing to write official documents.

When Zhu Ping'an was lying on the desk, Taiping County, sixty miles away from the county seat of Jingnan, fell into a sea of fire.

This group of pirates is the bloodied Heihachiro and his subordinates who met in Jingnan County.

Jiangmen, the leader of the Hungry Wolf League, divided Jingnan and Taiping counties to Ping Hachiro. After Heihachiro broke his head in Jingnan County, he had to give up the difficult bone of Jingnan, and instead led the remaining more than 1,000 remnants of the Japanese army under his command to rush to Taiping County.

Taiping County is in the northwest direction of Jingnan County, the two counties are neighbors, the distance is not far, and the distance between the two counties is only sixty or seventy miles. The news that the Japanese were burning, killing, looting, and besieging the county town of Jingnan reached Taiping within half a day. The people of Taiping County not only sympathize with the tragic experience of their old neighbors, but also rejoice that they are glad that Taiping County is not close to the sea, otherwise they would be the ones who are suffering from the poison of the Japanese invaders today.

Of course, after hearing the news that Jingnan was subjected to Japanese pirates, Taiping County also panicked, but the panic was not too serious.

After all, the Japanese are now in Jingnan. It is the Taoist friends who suffer, not the poor Tao.

As for whether the Japanese invaders came to Taiping County or not, they are all two theories, and our Taiping County is not close to the sea, and the number of encounters with the Japanese is very small.

In addition, even if the Japanese invaders come to Taiping County, we also have time to prepare, the Japanese are now besieging Jingnan County, and it will take time to break through Jingnan County, even if they break through Jingnan County, they will have to burn and loot in Jingnan County for a day or two.

Although some people hurriedly packed up their things and fled with their children and daughters after hearing the news of the raid on Jingnan by the Japanese invaders, most of them were quite calm, and it was not too late to pack up their things and flee with their children after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to inquire about the news.

In fact, not only the common people, but also the Taiping County Ya did not attach great importance to it for the first time.

After receiving the news that the Japanese were plundering Jingnan, the Taiping County Ya also began to take precautions, issued a notice to inform the people in Jingnan of the Japanese troubles, and informed the people in the area under its jurisdiction to be careful of the Japanese invaders, ordered all the officials who went out on business to return to the county government to stand by, and notified the soldiers stationed in the county seat to be vigilant and take precautions, and sent people to notify and requisition the people and archers under the jurisdiction of the Taiping County Ya Bing House to return to the county seat to guard against the Japanese invaders......

However, although Taiping County has also made some actions, it has not paid enough attention to it and has not supervised the implementation in time.

Up and down Taiping County, I never expected the Japanese to come so quickly.

Half tight, half loose, want to refuse and welcome, half hanging, Taiping County, which was half on guard, suffered all of a sudden.

When Heihachiro and his group of would-be robbers broke their heads in Jingnan, retreated from Jingnan overnight, and turned to Taiping County, Taiping County was still asleep and was caught off guard by the sinful would-be robbers.

Blood!

Struggle!

Despair!

Weep!

As soon as they stepped into Taiping County and encountered the first village, the Japanese invaders burned, killed, looted, attacked women, and committed all kinds of evil, doubling the injuries and bad luck they suffered in Jingnan in Taiping County.

Village after village, ravaged by the Japanese and burned to the ground, as miserable as hell on earth......

Before Taiping County could react, Heihachiro had already led the Japanese to attack the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Taiping County in succession, and went straight to Taiping County to kill, burning and looting all the way, ravaging women and children, robbing money, grain and grass, and burning houses.

The sky was bright, and the Japanese had already burned and looted all the way, drove and coerced more than 1,000 young and strong people with butcher knives, and the soldiers came to the city of Taiping County, surrounding the city of Taiping County.

At that time, the magistrate of Taiping County was named Wang Fengming, whose name was Suqing, from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and he was 47 years old. When the Japanese soldiers were approaching the city, Wang Zhixian was having breakfast, and when he heard that the Japanese soldiers were approaching the city, his chopsticks fell to the ground.

"Nonsense! When the news came yesterday, weren't the Japanese still besieging Jingnan County, how could they come to the city of Taiping County?! ”

After Wang Zhixian recovered from shock, his first reaction was that his subordinates lied about the military situation, slapped the table vigorously, and reprimanded.

"County Zun, how dare you dare to talk nonsense in front of your old man. It's really the Japanese soldiers who are coming to the city. If you don't believe it, the county will come out and listen. ”

The messenger who reported the news shook his head again and again, stretched out his hand and pointed outside the house and said to Wang Zhixian.

Wang Zhixian glanced at the messenger twice, and saw that the messenger did not look like lying, as she said, he did not dare to lie in front of him, so he got up and left the table. The messenger hurriedly took two steps and helped Wang Zhixian open the curtain, Wang Zhixian walked out and walked to the center of the courtyard, and sure enough, there was a faint shout of killing outside.

Hearing this, Wang Zhixian's pupils dilated instantly, his face turned pale, and cold sweat fell down his back.

"Damn, why did the Japanese suddenly come, hurry, hurry, notify Xiahou County Cheng, and call all the officials to go up the city wall with me!"

Wang Zhixian was like ants in a hot pot in the courtyard, turning around several times, and finally gritted his teeth and ordered loudly to the errand officer.

"County Zun, when I came to report the news, I heard that after Xiahou County Cheng got the news, he had already rushed to the city wall as soon as possible." The officer replied.

"Then you quickly go and gather the officers, and not one of them will be left behind, all of them will be gathered, and follow the officers to the city wall."

After Wang Zhixian heard that Xiahou County Cheng rushed to the city wall, he nodded, and hurriedly ordered the servants to summon the officials quickly.

Soon, Wang Zhixian led more than 80 officials who had been hastily summoned to the city wall of Taiping County.

On the city wall, Xiahou County Cheng was arranging defenses, and 86 soldiers stationed in the county guards, as well as 180 people and archers under the jurisdiction of the military room who were summoned, were scattered on the four city walls.

"I've seen the county."

Hearing the news, Xiahou County rushed to the entrance of the steps of the city wall to greet Wang Zhixian.

"Xiahou County doesn't need to be polite, how is the situation outside the city?" Wang Zhixian waved his hand and asked.

"There are more than 1,000 Japanese robbers, and more than 1,000 people have surrounded me in Taiping County."

Xiahou County replied.

"What...... What, more than two thousand?! ”

When Wang Zhixian heard this, his pale face suddenly turned pale, and his voice trembled a little.

"Half of them are coerced people." Xiahou County corrected.

"More than 1,000 pirates are not trivial, and besides, many of them themselves were converted by the people."

Wang Zhixian shook his head, walked two steps quickly, came to the battlement, and looked out.

I saw the smoke and dust billowing outside, the stilted and stamped Japanese were murderous, their faces were hideous, the Japanese knives and other weapons in their hands were still dripping with blood, and the Japanese outside the city were all over the mountains, and there were many people who could not see their heads at a glance.

The hideous and fierce wolf surrounded the county town, and the ghosts cried and shouted wolves, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

"The Japanese are powerful, and Taiping County is difficult to defend, so it is better to abandon the city and leave."

Wang Zhixian withdrew his gaze from the widow outside the city with a pale face, swept his side, shook his head, and whispered to Xiahou County.
