Longyou County, a county in the middle of Zhongping County, is also the last barrier of Zhongping County, after the rebellion of Luo Yishui in Kaiping County, Zhongping County immediately dispatched 3,000 county soldiers to arrive here to establish a defensive line. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info hope to stop Luo Yishui here for a while, so that Zhongping County can support the arrival of the Tiger Ben army.

But with the Luo Yishui rebels all the way to the ground, from Kaiping County to Zhongping County, all the way, it took less than a month, it was about to arrive in Longyou County, in front of Luo Yishui, the resistance of Zhongping County is like snow meets the scorching sun, a little resistance will disappear, some even do not resist at all and scatter, and some people directly defected to Luo Yishui.

The people of Longyou County have long since fled, and Jian Zai, the commander of the army from Zhongping County, stayed hard for a few days, and when the spies reported that Luo Yishui's vanguard Huang Hao was only a day's away from Longyou, he finally couldn't hold on.

Run, if you don't run now, you won't be able to run!

Standing on the city wall, he glanced at the direction of Kaiping County, Jian Fang sighed, Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers are disloyal, I am just these 3,000 people, how can I fight with the other party's 100,000 army, not to mention, the opposite is Luo Yishui, it is the former military god of Dayue, he is a nobody, in front of such a ruthless person, it is a fart!

I don't surrender him, I am already loyal to Your Majesty, and I will bring these 3,000 people back to Zhongping County, which can be regarded as preserving a little vitality for the defense of Zhongping County.

After finding a lot of reasons for himself, Jian Fang finally let go of the last bit of obstacle in his heart, and felt that what he did was simply the most correct decision.

"General Jane, General Jane, can't get out!" A captain rushed up the city wall like a fly, panting and breathless.

"Why can't you get out?" Jian Fang is a little inexplicable.

"Someone has blocked the gates!" The lieutenant said.

Jane was furious: "Who blocked the city gates, what are you eating?" Can people block the city gates? Where did these people come from, and who are they? ”

"Can't catch up!" The lieutenant spread his hands, his face full of embarrassment.

"What?" Jian Fang felt that it was simply unreasonable.

"It's Xiao Dashuai's family!" The lieutenant said in a low voice.

As soon as the lieutenant said this, Jian Fang understood that Xiao Zhenggang's hometown of Xiao Dashuai was in Zhongping County, and Xiao Shuai had died in Kaiping County, and the person who killed him was Luo Yishui.

"I'll go!" Jane said angrily and strode down. Xiao Dashuai is naturally admired by him, but Xiao Dashuai is dead, so he can't let them die here in vain like Xiao Dashuai.

Three steps and two steps, Jian Fang rushed to the city gate, and then, he understood why the captain couldn't speak. Because it was not a few people on the other side, but a large group of people in Wuyang, a rough estimate, I am afraid that there are thousands of people. And standing at the front was actually a gray-haired old woman.

Thousands of people were all dressed in filial piety clothes, and their whole bodies were plain, and behind the old woman, several men who looked like Xiao Zhenggang carried a coffin on their shoulders, and everyone showed a look of grief and indignation.

It's Xiao Dashuai's wife! The next few carrying the coffin were Xiao Dashuai's son and grandson. Jian Anxin secretly complained, he has been stationed in Zhongping County for a long time, and he naturally knows the Xiao family, the largest household in Zhongping County.

"General Jian, I heard that you are going to give up Longyou County?" Madame Xiao's voice was low and hoarse.

Jian Fang smiled bitterly, walked up to Mrs. Xiao, and bowed and saluted: "Old lady, there are as many as 100,000 rebels, and their vanguard is only a day's distance from Longyou, and I have only 3,000 people here, how can I fight?" ”

Mrs. Xiao paused for the crutches in her hand: "What do you want you to do when Gao Junshou sent you to Longyou?" ”

"Stick to Longyou and buy time for the reinforcements to arrive in Zhongping County!" Jian Fang's voice was as low as a mosquito's cry.

"Very good, I thought you forgot, General Jian, now you are not only three thousand, our Xiao clan is all here, there are a total of one thousand and twenty-one people. Now you have four thousand. Mrs. Xiao said.

"Madam, even so, we can't beat it!" Jian Fang said with a bitter face.

"If you give up Longyou, Zhongping is now extremely empty, and naturally you can't resist Luo Yishui, if Zhongping loses, the rebels will go straight to the capital of Yue, and when the time comes, you will be the sinner of Dayue." The old lady stared at him fiercely and said: "When the time comes, don't say that you can't live, even your family, don't want to live, let me tell you the truth, when I left Zhongping County, I have already let Gao County guard imprison all your family, if you dare to take a step away from Long You, you will kill them immediately!" ”

"Old lady!" Jian Fang's face suddenly changed color.

"Do you still want to leave now?" Mrs. Xiao said gloomily.

"I, where else can I go!" Jian Fang said with a sad face.

"Very good, if we keep Longyou, you will be the hero of Dayue, and you will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime. If we all die here, but we will buy time for the arrival of the Tiger Army, you are the heroic martyrs of Dayue, although you can't enjoy it, but your family and children will enjoy your shadow, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime. No matter how you calculate, you earn it. The old lady took a step forward and reached out to grab Jian Fang's hand, "Let's go, accompany me to the city wall to have a look." ”

Don't look at Old Madam Xiao looking trembling, but as soon as she grabbed Jian Fang, Jian Fang only felt that there was an iron hoop on her wrist, but through the wide sleeves, it looked like he was supporting Old Madam Xiao.

The two walked slowly, and thousands of Xiao clan people dressed in filial piety clothes walked in rows, each carrying a large package, and after walking in, they threw the package on their bodies under the root of the city wall.

A man in his early fifties walked up to the pile of packages, and with a knife in his hand, cut off one of the burdens, and the contents suddenly rolled out with a clang, and several knives were connected, and several baggage skins were cut open, without exception, all of them were silver.

"Brothers, all the property of the Xiao family is here, and it is stacked here, and those who have won this battle and can survive can take as much as you want." The man roared.

There was a sudden sensation in the city, they were all ordinary soldiers, a year's military salary, only more than ten taels of silver, although food and clothing are provided by the state, but all year round, these more than ten taels of silver, is really too little, and this pile of silver, I don't know how much, they don't have this concept in their minds at all.

As long as you can survive, you will be rich. This thought is on everyone's mind. In this life, even if you live, how much silver can you earn, who said that you will definitely die? We are defending the city, not fighting the enemy, and the most elite tiger army in the imperial court is on the way here, and we may be able to earn silver that cannot be earned in this life in three or five days.

Everyone's breathing became heavy.

The man raised the big knife in his hand and shouted, "Brothers, do you want to fight? ”

After a brief silence, one of them suddenly raised his arms and shouted, "Fight." ”

"Fight, fight, fight!" A thunderous roar resounded throughout Longyou City.

Jian Fang, who had already walked up to the city wall, listened to the roars of the soldiers in the city, and then looked back at the mountains of white flowers and silver, knowing that things were irreversible, and he really didn't even have the mood to cry at this time.

Things have come to this point, what else can he do? I can only hope to win this battle and go back alive, but I hope that as Mrs. Xiao said, if I can stand up to the arrival of reinforcements, then I can be regarded as a complete merit.

Let out a long breath, that's it, people die and birds face the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years.

There was a bang behind them, and the coffin fell heavily behind them, and Old Madam Xiao said lightly: "I'm not going to go back alive, just die here." None of us Xiao clan members are ready to go back alive. ”

"Madame's righteousness, Jane is willing to follow Madame and fight to the death with the rebels!" Jane amplified the channel.

"Good, good." Mrs. Xiao nodded.

The man who had encouraged the morale of the soldiers from earlier walked up and said to Mrs. Xiao, "Madam, now that we have sealed all the gates of the city, no one can escape from the city. ”

"General Jian, his name is Shi Yun, he used to be a general under Zhenggang, and later because of some special reasons, after he quit the army, he has been living in our Xiao family."

Jian Fang was taken aback, time, he knew, but wasn't this person already dead? Why did he still appear alive in front of him?

Mrs. Xiao ignored Jian Fang's surprise, "General Jian, can you hand over your command to Time?" ”

"Since General Shi is here, the last general is naturally willing to attach his wing tail." Jian Fang nodded again and again, in front of this person, he didn't have any confidence.

"Okay, thank you General Jane, please demolish all the houses in the city for me as soon as possible, stones, wood, everything that can be used to defend the city, and put them in different categories. I don't want anything else in the city other than the walls. "Time passes.

"Understood."

"General Jian, the first wave of the rebels' attack must be the most violent, so our Xiao clan will take this first battle, your troops are ready to support at any time, and if you withstand the first battle, this battle will be easy to fight." Time held on to the city wall and looked at the open ground in front of him: "The defense facilities in Longyou County are still very perfect, Luo Yishui is on this road, smooth sailing, almost no decent resistance, I conclude that he is only afraid that he has not even prepared much equipment for attacking the city, he probably thinks that wherever his army goes, the imperial army will inevitably flee from the wind, right?" ”

Jian Fang sighed, time is good, if it weren't for them coming, he would indeed have to flee from the wind. (To be continued.) )
