There is a small hill in the west of Wuhu City, less than half a mile in radius, the local people call the sacred mountain, there is a village at the foot of the mountain has been occupied by the thief army at this time, Wang Zamao is lying on the mat of a family, listening to the sound of rain outside, and is depressed.

Once the city is hated for eternity, the city is lost in vain, not to mention the loss of the family wealth that has been robbed along the way, the more I think about it, the more angry I become, just wait for the dawn and the rain to stop immediately organizing soldiers and horses to attack the city, and in any case, the city will be broken before the arrival of the king's body! can also atone for his sins, otherwise he will be scolded or even punished by the king, and the most important thing is that he will never be able to straighten up and be ashamed of himself from now on.

When the sky was slightly bright, Wang Zamao finally felt sleepy, and when he was about to fall asleep, his soldiers knocked on the door: "General, there is an abnormal movement on the other side of the city."

Wang Zamao turned over and got up: "What's wrong?" ”

"Just now, our brothers found that some spies of officers and soldiers threw things into the city, and when they were about to take it for more than ten miles, they were saved by a force of nearly 100 officers and soldiers, and the brothers lost four or five lives before escaping back." The soldiers hurriedly spoke, and Wang Zamao raised his eyebrows: "Fleeing over there?" ”

"Northside".

North? Wang Zamao's eyes narrowed into a line, and he turned around the room with his hands behind his back: "The officers and soldiers from Nanjing are by no means the more than 1,000 people in the city, Chen Dafa's dog day is very likely to be given a litter by the officers and soldiers to see no one dead or dead, which means that there are at least tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the north!" ”

Wang Zamao actually calculated the strength of the officers and soldiers crookedly: "The soldiers and horses of Nanjing City will not come sooner or later, but they will come at this time, and Lao Tzu has never heard of the soldiers and horses in Nanjing so capable of fighting, more than a thousand cavalry dare to brave the rain and travel at night to seize the city, what the hell!" ”

"General, then, what should we do" The soldiers listened to Wang Zamao talk to himself for a long time, and heard that there were tens of thousands of officers and soldiers with fear in their hearts, they had never encountered such a large force when they fought all the way from the south.

"The water comes to cover the soldiers, and the soldiers will block it" Wang Zamao snorted coldly: "Lao Tzu doesn't believe that the officers and soldiers in Nanjing are so capable of fighting, Zuo Liangyu's soldiers and horses can be beaten by us like lost dogs after a long time on the battlefield, those officers and soldiers in Nanjing City can not be so powerful, they don't need to engage in so many bells and whistles, and they are pretending to cross the river and cavalry surprise attacks to attract our attention, and it is not more pleasant to kill the army directly!" ”

"What the general said makes sense" The pro-soldier breathed a sigh of relief: "Those Nanjing officers and soldiers know that they are not our opponents, so they can only make these evil crooked ways dare not fight with us face to face!" ”

"Hmph, if you can't beat them head-on, let's play with our hearts, Lao Tzu wants to force them to do it head-on this time!" Wang Zamao roared angrily: "He has tens of thousands of people, we also have tens of thousands of people, who kills who is not easy to say" said and waved his hand: "Send an order to send additional spies, any wind and grass within a radius of 20 miles from Wuhu Lao Tzu must know clearly, and let Tang Hu lead 500 brothers and 3,000 displaced people to wait in the north, as long as it is found that the officers and soldiers do not need to ask for orders to go directly to work, they must not be allowed to enter within 20 miles of Wuhu, if there are no officers and soldiers, they will be hunted and killed."

The soldiers took the order and left, Wang Zamao walked to the window in a cloudy day and found that the rain had changed and was very happy, and secretly prayed, sunny day, sunny day. Then he thought of something and shouted outside: "Deng Qiu". An army of thieves rushed to the door: "What does the general command?"

"It's almost dawn, let those people hurry up and cut down trees and make things, and when the rain is lighter, attack the city immediately!" Wang Zamao said coldly, Deng Qiu snorted and turned around and was about to leave, but was dragged back by Wang Zamao and whispered in his ear: "Send a brother to the east to make some fate, go a little farther and remember to extinguish the mouth, it is best to blame the officers and soldiers."

In the county yali in Wuhu City, Jin Shenghuan handed a small bamboo tube to Guo Ren and said with a wry smile: "Lord Guo, we may have something to do." Guo Ren took it with some doubts: "Where did it come from?" ”

"What came in from outside the city just now should be the order of the little overseer" Jin Shenghuan stretched out his hand to help Guan Ren pull out the bamboo tube plug and shake out a white juan, which read: Defend for three days, and the thieves will reward the soldiers with their wealth!

"It's a good thing, no, I just saw that in addition to grain and grass, the thief's family is really a lot!" Guo Ren smiled, but Jin Shenghuan couldn't laugh: "The more you give, the more difficult the task, otherwise you won't need to stick to the word."

Guan Ren put away his smile and nodded: "That's right, but when Tu is only seventy or eighty miles away, Lord Dugong can help at any time, why do you want us to defend it?" Isn't something wrong? ”

"Presumably so, I can't guess the specifics, but the Lord has been with the Overseer for a long time, so you may be able to guess one or two?"

Guo Ren smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Our Lord Governor is born with the heart of the Nine Tricks, and no one can guess him, but since the Lord Governor asked us to defend for three days, there must be reinforcements in three days, three days, no matter what, we can hold on."

"If we can hold it or not, we have to defend it, because what the Overseer said" Jin Shenghuan sighed, picked up the teacup next to him and drank it all: "Besides, the Lord has taken a bottom under you, and it is rumored that the Overseer has no last resort and has not tasted defeat, but is it true?" ”。

Guo Ren smiled, he knew that Jin Shenghuan was a little scared in his heart or that he was bottomless: "I followed Lord Duke Duke when I was in Taiyuan, guarding Beijing, guarding Ningyuan, Baoding to block the enemy from the real battle, chasing the Battle of Tartar Qingzhou for thousands of miles, and then I came here again, Lord Duke has never been defeated in the past few months, and I haven't died in battle!" ”

Jin Shenghuan breathed a sigh of relief, and a slight smile appeared on his face: "The Lord of Wuhu City, who has worked so hard to get it, can't easily give it up, and besides, Lord Overseer is the henchman of Lord Overseer, and he can't let you die easily, so ...... At most, we're just in danger."

"It's not" Guo Ren laughed: "It's better to sleep well than to be cranky, you see that the rain is light and the thieves will not stop when the sky is bright, we are all mentally ready to have a good fight with them."

"I'm afraid that there will be more than one" Jin Shenghuan smiled: "I'm ready to do eight out of ten."

The thieves attacked and disturbed all night, and when the sky was slightly bright, they finally stopped and dispersed to recuperate, except for a few cannon fodder wandering around Wuhu City, there was no regular thief army, and all of them withdrew to the villages near the sacred mountain in the west to repair.

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, before the war is always very quiet, the officers and soldiers in the city also feel the impending storm, and their hearts are gradually nervous, although they have only come out of Nanjing for three or four days, but they have already done two consecutive battles with the thief army, both physical and mental are on the verge of collapse, but they also know in their hearts that they must hold on, the first can not let others look flat, the second can not hold on is a death, once let the thieves outside the city rush in, they will never leave them a way to live.

Wuhu was previously occupied by the thief army, but the officials in the city surrendered and dedicated the city, in order to buy people's hearts and establish political power, Wang Zamao did not kill these surrendered officials, but also let their officials reinstate, after the situation was tough and captured the city, still did not kill these officials, not that he did not want to kill or had no right to kill, only Chang Yu had the right to kill first.

Of course, it is necessary to be scolded by the situation of tenacity, and then ordered to organize the people to transport war materials to the city to atone for their crimes, these officials in order to atone for their crimes, stayed up all night in the wind and rain, until dawn was physically exhausted in the city tower tilted their heads and fell asleep, as for the people who worked hard all night, they also heard the greatest good news of their lives at this time: no one will reward two taels of silver for their meritorious service in helping the war, and at the same time recruit the villagers who are willing to go to the city to help the war to send five taels of silver, and a thief can be exchanged for ten taels of silver, and ten taels of silver will be rewarded for immortality after the war!

There will be brave men under the reward! In a short period of time, thousands of young and strong people were recruited, and Jin Shenghuan's officers and soldiers saw more helpers, and they were also relieved in their hearts, and then they heard that as long as they had meritorious service in defending the city, they would divide the stolen goods of the thief army, and their morale was immediately shocked.

Fighting a war requires strength, not only to recuperate but also to eat and drink well, the city kills pigs and sheep and stews to boil soup, the greedy population is water, this year can eat white porridge is good, eating meat and drinking soup is just like a dream, but now in order to fiercely defend the city soldiers and the township brave tenacity can be said to have invested enough, anyway, the money is not bad, of course, these pigs and sheep are not robbed but bought with money.

Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, can you still hold on for three days with soldiers and money?

Jin Shengheng and Guo Ren were ruthless in their hearts.
