In the middle of these shacks, there is a new big tent, arranged in an orderly manner, criss-crossed, outside the tent, there are actually fences, antlers, horses, and watchtowers that are almost the same height as the city, which can see everything in the city clearly.

Outside are the outcasts, and inside are Morrow's elite army.
"It's not the same as the previous information!" Old lady Liu muttered.
"Dad, according to the information we have, Mo Luo's subordinates, there is a person named Wu Xin, this person turned out to be a general of the county soldiers of Changyang County, an eighth-level peak master, but because he is a child of a poor family, he was repeatedly excluded in Changyang County, was framed and imprisoned, and finally exhausted his family wealth before he got out of prison, but because of this, his family was ruined, and he was alone, and in a rage, he went up the mountain to become a bandit. This person understands military affairs, has ability, and is used by Mo Luo, and is now the head of the four King Kong under Mo Luo. It has been almost half a year since Mo Luo started his army, and it is not surprising that this person has managed the army for Mo Luo in half a year, forming such an appearance. Liu Xingwen explained on the side.
"It's a pity that a talent has become a bandit." Old Lady Liu shook her head. "Molod is a man who is like a tiger, but for us, it's a problem. How are the city defense utensils? What about grain and grass reserves? What is the morale of the soldiers? ”
asked three times in a row, but the question was a step back from Shayang County Shou Quan Yun.
"Old lady, because I have been prepared for a long time, so the city guards the equipment, arrows, this is more than enough, the grain and grass reserves are a little tight, because a large amount of grain and grass was delivered to Feng County a year ago, and now there are so many refugees in the city, but the county guard is scheduling, and it has strictly controlled the use, and it is no problem to hold on for three months." Kwon Yun replied.
"Morale, a little lacking." Liu Xingwen said in a low voice on the side: "There are too many enemies. It is estimated that Mo Luo's elite soldiers and horses are now more than 20,000, and the number of displaced people has now reached 200,000. And we, even if we gathered the county soldiers from all the counties, there were less than 10,000 people, and with the young men who were temporarily conscripted, we managed to gather 20,000 people. ”
"More people doesn't necessarily win." Old lady Liu glanced at her son, "Last year, you led 5,000 people to suppress bandits, and the ratio of five to one didn't you wipe out the whole army?" ”
Standing beside Old Lady Liu, they were all confidants, and when they heard Old Lady Liu snatching her white son, the patriarchs and Quan Yun of the other major families immediately turned around and looked elsewhere, or put their heads together and chattered, all pretending not to hear.
Liu Xingwen's face was red suddenly, and he bowed his head and couldn't make a sound.
"How to motivate morale, that's the responsibility of you, the commander of the county soldiers, if you can't do it, then you don't have to stay in this position, we in Shayang County, can't we find a qualified commander of the county soldiers?" Old lady Liu said sharply.
"Yes, father, I see." Liu Xingwen raised his head and said loudly. is familiar with the old lady's temper, and knows that his father is really angry this time.
"This time, our Shayang County has really reached the point of life and death." Old Lady Liu looked around at the patriarchs of the four major families around him, "If we fail and die and the clan is wiped out, the wealth that our countless ancestors have worked hard to accumulate over the past hundreds of years will become the excrement of these locusts outside the city in the blink of an eye. Therefore, at this moment, we must unite sincerely and hold together in order to have the possibility of survival. You guys, understand? ”
"Understood!" The four patriarchs of Huang Chen Tian Fang nodded again and again.
"I know that all major families, including our Liu family, have a powerful private soldier in their hands, and this time, I will take them all out for me, and I will form a reserve team of these private soldiers to rescue the danger that arises when the enemy attacks the city at any time. The four patriarchs, do you have any opinions? ”
The patriarch of the four families only hesitated slightly, then nodded in agreement.
"The four patriarchs are all eighth-level peak masters, each guarding one door in case the enemy master attacks, and the old man is in the middle." Old lady Liu looked at everyone: "The defense system of the whole city, Xingwen is in charge, the right to guard, although you don't go up to the city wall, but you also have a great responsibility, one is all the logistics, we must raise and transport in time, and the other is to strictly prevent the spies in the city. Three, you also have to gather more young men to replenish the losses on the city walls at any time. ”
"Understood." Everyone nodded yes, facing Mo Luo's hundreds of thousands of siege troops, everyone understood that if they couldn't hold Shayang County, everything would be over.
"The enemy has been attacking the city in the intervening days." Old Lady Liu took one last look at the dense enemies outside the city, closed her eyes slightly, turned around and walked towards the city, "Xingwen is on duty, the others go back first, recuperate, and prepare to fight to protect our homeland and our property!" ”
Late at night, in the secret room of the Liu family, Old Lady Liu slowly exhaled a long breath, the flush on his face flashed, and Liu Bao, who was sitting cross-legged on the side, glanced at Old Lady Liu worriedly.
"It's old, it's useless." Old Lady Liu shook his head and sighed. At the end of last year, with Zhou Wenlong's fire, although he won, he also paid a lot of price, although the Liu family has a deep heritage, elixirs, and countless precious medicinal materials, but killing a ninth-level master, how can it be so easy? Although half a year has passed, the internal injuries have not completely improved.
Although Zhou Wenlong has only just stepped into the ninth level, although it has been years since Old Lady Liu stepped into the ninth level, he is also stuck, but the victory is only in the deeper skills, plus he is old and injured, and it is not easy to get better. And what made him even more frightened was that Mo Luo, who came this time, was a ninth-level peak figure, a disciple of Master Wei Zhuang. Their names alone are enough to scare most people.
If it was an ordinary martial arts competition, Old Lady Liu would have already surrendered, but now, Mo Luo is going to dig up the roots of his Liu family, even if he knows that he is invincible, he still has to fight. After all, the two armies are at war, which is different from the individual competition, only when the war is won, even if the individual loses, this account can be calculated.
Liu Bao looked at Old Lady Liu hesitated for a long time, and still took out a dark and heavy pill from a small brocade box, and suddenly his complexion changed greatly, and he took a step forward and grabbed Old Lady Liu's wrist: "Master, you can't eat it." ”
Old lady Liu smiled slightly, "Liu Bao, how many years have you been with me?" ”
"Master, I've been with you for almost fifty years, and when I'm still snotty, I'll follow you, Master!"
"Yes, so many years have passed, I am over seventy years old, and you are also in your sixties. We've lived long enough. I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that this ancestral family business can't be kept. Mo Luo's martial arts cultivation, not to mention that Shayang County is invincible, looking at the entire Yue country, the whole world, how many people can match it? I am ready to die, this medicine is indeed the medicine of the tiger and wolf, but it can allow me to stabilize the injury and improve the level, although it is inevitable that the realm will fall later, but as long as I win, what does it matter? Old lady Liu smiled.
Liu Bao slowly let go of Old Lady Liu's hand, "Master, Liu Bao swears to live and die with the Liu family." ”
"Of course, the Liu family is also your home!" Old lady Liu laughed, threw the pill into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it. Liu Bao looked at all this, stood up, stopped talking, turned around and walked out of the secret room, and gently closed the door.
Walking into the courtyard, Liu Bao couldn't help wiping a handful of tears, after this battle, I don't know if this old master can survive, and the consequences of eating that pill are not easy to overcome.
The door suddenly clanged, and along with the banging of the gate, there was also the big voice of the eldest young master Liu Xingwen.
"Open the door, open the door!"
Hearing Liu Xingwen's shout, Liu Bao couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that there was a problem in the city, seeing that several family members were hurriedly removing the heavy deadbolts on the door, Liu Bao hurriedly greeted him.
Before the door was fully opened, Liu Xingwen had already squeezed in, and behind him, there was another person, his face was covered with sweat, and his body was even more bloodstained, it turned out to be Lu Feng.
Feng County's one literary and one martial arts, Ge Qingsheng defected to Taiping City to become the city lord, but Lu Feng was favored by Old Lady Liu because of his seventh-level peak skills, and he was just sent to Feng County to contact the Taiping Army earlier.
"What's wrong?" Liu Bao asked anxiously.
"Uncle Liu, I'm overjoyed, I'm overjoyed! Where's my dad? I'm going to hurry up and tell him the good news. Liu Xingwen laughed, looked at Liu Bao, and asked.
"The old lady can't be disturbed now." Liu Bao shook his head, "If it's a big thing, we have to wait for dawn to talk about it." ”
Liu Xingwen was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Liu Bao's eyes, "Uncle Liu, didn't he eat that thing?" ”
Liu Bao nodded slowly.
Liu Xingwen was immediately shocked, and his previous joy was also diluted a lot.
"What kind of happy event is it?" Liu Bao asked.
"Lu Feng, tell Steward Liu!" Liu Xingwen sighed, walked to the side and sat down.
Lu Feng didn't know what happened to the Liu family, but obviously, it was not a good thing.
"Steward Liu, Bao Bufan, who was under the four King Kongs under Mo Luo, led 50,000 troops to attack Feng County, and before the tenth day, he was defeated by the Taiping army, and the 50,000 army was wiped out. Lu Feng replied happily.
"So fast?" Liu Bao was also overjoyed after being shocked: "Isn't the news wrong?" ”
"Of course you can't be wrong. The villain also caught a few stragglers who had slipped through the net and forced them to ask, Bao Bufan was attacked by the Taiping Army at night in Huanglianggang, Feng County, and was completely defeated in a short period of time, and even Bao Bufan was not lightly injured. ”
"Good, good!" Liu Bao couldn't help laughing, "In this way, it's not a dream for the Taiping Army to come to the aid of Shayang County. (To be continued.) )
