With this sound, the robbers retreated like a tide. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Master Wu looked at the ruined city, but saw countless soldiers falling on the city, their bodies full of bows and arrows, and their eyes turned red for a while.
Rush to the top of the city and look out of the city.
But when he saw the city, the robbers had already withdrawn ten feet away and stood in formation.
"Brothers, the robbers have been killed by us!"
"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng!" The sergeants raised their weapons and shouted in unison.
"Boys, why don't you attack the city? Scared, right? Master Wu shouted at the city.
But I saw that the robbers under the city were orderly arranging their formations, and the smoke and dust were billowing behind them, and they came straight to the county seat.
Ah, what's that? Master Wu was shocked, could it be that the robbers still have reinforcements?
Master Wu looked into the distance, and gradually the smoke and dust approached, and the figure also appeared, but it turned out to be a group of people escorting some carriages, and there were only one hundred and eighty people.
Master Wu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, if there were only so many robbers, it would be okay to sneak attack the city, but if you want to say that you will take the county seat, it will be difficult to climb to the sky!
"Look, my lord! What are the robbers going to do? One of the people next to him exclaimed.
Master Wu was taken aback and hurriedly looked over.
After a period of confusion, the robbers unloaded the things on the car and placed them in two rows, and hundreds of robbers stood neatly in front of them, divided into four rows.
Hey, what's this for? Master Wu was also confused.
But seeing that the leader waved his hand, these hundreds of robbers had their own division of labor, the first row and the third row of robbers struggled to carry the front end of the object, and the second and fourth rows moved respectively and pointed straight to the city.
"Oh no, it's a crossbow!" For a while, Master Wu's face changed greatly, "Quickly take the shield, and list them all at the head of the city!" ”
Master Wu looked nervously out of the city.
But I saw that the robbers actually lit the fire and set the crossbow arrows on fire.
Master Wu's eyes widened, and he took a closer look at the point of the crossbow arrow, and then turned his head to look inside the city.
"Not good, is it?" An astonishing idea came to mind.
"Quick, send someone to report to the county honor, and say that the robbers will use crossbow arrows to shoot into the city and burn the food in the city! Please save the food from the county! Master Wu commanded urgently.
The little colonel behind him, turned around and left, and went to report the news.
"Brothers, archery stops them."
Whoosh, a burst of arrows shot at the robber, but the robber blocked it with his shield and could not hurt him at all.
Master Wu's face was like earth, he turned his head to look at the city, and muttered to himself, "It's a prophecy!" Let's hope the food is safe!
Whizzing and swishing, but I saw the fire bolts shoot over the head of the city and into the city.
Looking at the fire crossbow arrows that crossed his head, Master Wu wanted to go into the city to rescue, but he couldn't let this place go, if he let the robbers take advantage of the situation to break through the city, he would really become a sinner in Lingxian County!
Let's hope it's in time!
At this time, Liu Zhixian had just received a report from the school and rushed to the place where the grain was.
However, it was too late, and I saw that the granary was already on fire.
The fire was raging, people's rescue was like a drop in the bucket, it didn't play any role at all, and the crossbow arrows were still flying sideways, and some of the officials who came to fight the fire were even directly nailed to the ground, and they were burned by the flames, which was extremely tragic.
Liu Zhixian looked at the fire-lit granary, his face was pale, his whole body trembled, and he sat on the ground.
Whoosh, the arrow feathers flew sideways, and the fire crossbow arrows went straight into the sea of fire one by one, and they were all shot within the range of the granary.
Later, Zhang Xiancheng and other officials, Huang Fu and other gentry who came to look at the raging fire, but they were helpless, so they could only organize people to isolate the fire and let the granary burn into ruins.
"That's it, that's it! The grain was burned, and the official could only receive the punishment himself! Liu Zhixian muttered to himself.
Zhang Xiancheng and other officials who were present looked at the fire, and then at Liu Zhixian, their eyes were dull, everything was over! Liu Zhixian can't run, and they can't run either!
Huang Fu and other gentry are also like earth, they are still worried that the robbers will attack the city and burn the grain, but now they have not captured the county, but the grain has been burned, think about the victims in the city, I am afraid that it is going to explode, and now the county town has reached the point of exhaustion!
You know, all the donated grain was placed in this granary, and now that the grain is burned, there is not much food left in the whole city, and it is impossible to supply the local people, the gentry, and the disaster victims!
"Robbers, I'll fuck your grandma!" After receiving the report from the school, Master Wu rushed to the head of the city and scolded loudly outside the city in a hoarse voice.
The robbers outside the city laughed at the flames inside the city, but the firebolts continued to shoot into the city, but the number was gradually decreasing.
Woo woo woo, a sound arrow went straight into the sky, Lord Wu stopped shouting and scolding, and went with the voice, but it was from the city.
"Whoa" A wolf howl came, and Master Wu was startled and turned to look.
But when he saw the robbers outside the city pointing at the arrows, he was really ecstatic and cheered!
In an instant, Master Wu understood that this was a signal from the spies in the city, which meant that the grain was burned and the task was completed.
Master Wu looked at the robbers and then at the direction of the arrows, his eyes were red, and his teeth itched with hatred.
"Don't let me find this traitor, otherwise Lao Tzu will break him into pieces!"
Outside the city, the robbers' crossbow arrows finally ran out, and the robbers happily cleaned up the scene.
"All hands are ready for battle!" Lord Wu nervously commanded, fearing that the robbers would attack the city again.
However, at this time, the robbers had already packed up, and the front team turned into the back team and turned away.
Master Wu was deeply afraid that this was the robbers' strategy, so he put all the staff on guard and looked straight at the robbers, watching them disappear into the dust and smoke.
For a long time, for a long time, there was no longer any movement outside the city, and Lord Wu finally confirmed that the robbers might really be gone!
However, for the sake of prudence, Lord Wu sent scouts out of the city to follow the robbers to investigate.
After a long time, the scouts reported that the robbers were indeed far away, but they divided into two routes, one of which went around the southern city.
"Nancheng?" Master Wu's eyes widened, that's not, that's not? "Oops!"
Master Wu shouted, flew down the city, mounted his horse and galloped away.
"Brothers, all on guard, close the gates tightly, and don't let up!" Master Wu's voice came from afar.
The sergeants were in a hurry.
Master Wu rushed to the granary, but saw that the granary was still in flames, but there were all the officials around it, and the fire had been controlled and no longer spread.
Next to him, Liu Zhixian sat on the ground, and the surrounding officials and gentry sat around, their faces were gloomy and silent, just looking at the fire in a daze.
"County Zun, the robbers have retired!" Wu Daren stepped forward to report.
"Oh!" Liu Zhixian looked up listlessly at Lord Wu.
Before, if they knew that the robbers had withdrawn, people would have cheered, but now everyone still stared at the fire blankly and did not say a word.
"Your Excellency!" Master Wu stomped his feet and shouted at Liu Zhixian.
Liu Zhixian was startled and looked up at Master Wu, but saw that he was in a hurry and winked at himself.
Is this something wrong?
