The Ayang County Order was quickly put on and brought some soldiers to the city wall, and when the moonlight was shining, he saw the boundless Qiang army, and he was immediately shocked.

"With such a large-scale invasion by the Qiang people, why didn't they get the slightest news in advance?"

The entire Yang'a County was brightly lit, and there was a solemn atmosphere, everyone held their breath, and some people were even so frightened that their legs trembled.

As if feeling the fear in the hearts of the soldiers, the Yang'a County Commander roared loudly: "Wait for Hugh to panic, the Qiang people are only cavalry, and there are no siege equipment." ”

"As long as we hold the city, we don't need to fear them at all."

When everyone heard the words of the prefectural order, although they were still very frightened, they were also slightly relieved.

The county commander of Yang'a knew that now he had to let the soldiers do something to distract them.

Otherwise, under such oppressive circumstances, some soldiers with poor psychological quality can easily be frightened and lose their proportions.

"The veterans who participated in the war defended the city on the city walls, and the rest of the soldiers moved the logs and stones with the people."

Hearing that there was no need to continue to stay on the city wall, the recruits breathed a long sigh of relief, hurriedly got off the city wall, and began to carry the city defense equipment.

The county commander of Yang'a watched the recruits get off the city wall, and then continued to pay attention to the outside of the city.

"Ah Wu, let's go down too."

At this moment, an inaudible voice came into the ears of the county commander, and the county commander turned his head to look, only to find that the two young men were staying together, talking to each other.

These two people are Guan Wu and Guan Xiong, who were sentenced to exile.

Since he knew that he was using Guan Xiong to kill Zheng Tu, Guan Wu was not only angry with Guan Xiong, but also full of guilt for Zheng Tu's family.

Therefore, when the two were sent to the border of Liangzhou, although Guan Xiong always wanted to repair the relationship with Guan Wu, Guan Wu did not hesitate to treat him.

Today, there is no exception.

Guan Xiong said with an anxious look on his face: "I know you have a grudge in your heart, but now is not the time to play with your temper, and you have never been on the battlefield, so you should go down with me to move things." ”

Glancing at Guan Xiong coldly, Guan Wu said proudly: "If the city is broken, how can we have the reason to live?" ”

"If everyone is greedy and afraid of war, how can I defend the city thoroughly, and when will I be able to obtain enough military exploits to clear my name?"

"If you are afraid, just go down, and I will not hold back a step!"

After speaking, Guan Wu tightened the simple spear in his hand, no longer looked at Guan Xiong, but focused on the Qiang people outside the city.

Listening to Guan Wu's cold words, although Guan Xiong was unhappy in his heart, he didn't say anything. It's just that not only did he not go down to move things, but he also stayed on the city wall, next to Guan Wu.

The county magistrate listened to the two of them with great interest, and secretly thought: "It seems that these two people were exiled here for military service because they committed serious crimes. ”

"That person named Guan Wu really has some courage and foresight."

For these two people who served in the military for their crimes, the county magistrate only occasionally mentioned his interest, and did not think much about anything else at all.

After all, people like Guan Wu and Guan Xiong are not uncommon in Yang'a.

More importantly, now that the Qiang army is pressing, the county order has no extra energy to think about others. As for Guan Wu's reluctance to go down the city wall, the county order will not be reluctant.

The horse's hooves trampled on the ground, and even if the county order stayed on the city wall, he felt a slight vibration.

Fortunately, it was night, otherwise, just the dust raised by the war horse would be enough to cover the sky and the sun.

"Hey, why did the Qiang cavalry keep going east, and there was not the slightest sign of attacking the city at all?"

When the county magistrate saw the actions of the Qiang people, he couldn't help but be shocked, but instead of feeling happy, he felt a little chilled.

This place is only two days away from Longxian, the capital of Liangzhou, and it is only two days away on horseback.

If the Qiang people dared to attack the city, as long as the county order could hold on for three or five days, the reinforcements from Liangzhou would be able to rush over.

However, if the Qiang people directly attacked Longxian by surprise, this consequence was unimaginable to the county commander.

"No, I must quickly spread the news of Qiang Koubian to Longxian. At the very least, the messenger had to arrive in Longxian before the Qiang. ”

Thinking of this, the county commander immediately shouted: "I want to send a messenger to Longxian to report the Qiang invasion, who is willing to go?" ”

After hearing the words of the prefectural order, the city wall, which was still a little noisy, suddenly fell silent.

Now when you go out to deliver a letter to Longxian, you must ride a fast horse.

There are not many roads leading to Longxian here, and it is easy to be discovered by the Qiang cavalry.

In particular, there is a small group of Qiang cavalry patrolling in the four directions of the county city wall, and there must be death or life when you go out of the city to deliver a message.

Therefore, after hearing the words of the prefectural order, no one spoke at all.

Seeing this, the county commander's face couldn't help but be gloomy, and he shouted: "You are all Han officers and soldiers, don't anyone dare to go out of the city to deliver letters?" ”

The soldiers on the walls bowed their heads, but none of them stepped forward.

Just when the county magistrate was angry, he suddenly heard a clear voice coming: "If the Ming court is trustworthy, a certain person is willing to go out of the city to deliver a letter." ”

The county magistrate looked up and realized that the person who spoke was Guan Wu, who was serving in the military for his crimes.

At this time, Guan Wu has grown a lot taller than before, and he is also burly and dignified when he stands up.

In addition, he was a good ranger when he was young, his martial arts were extraordinary, and he had killed people, so he made a deep impression on the county commander.

It's just that the county order hesitated.

Sending a letter to Longxian is a big deal, Guan Wu is still a guilty person, and it is a little inappropriate to hand over such a heavy task to Guan Wu.

But he didn't want to, Guan Xiong was already frightened at this time, pulled Guan Wu's sleeve, and whispered: "Are you crazy, do you want to go out of the city and die?" ”

Guan Wu shook off Guan Xiong's arm violently, and didn't answer, just looked firmly into the eyes of the county order.

The county commander's eyes narrowed, and he secretly thought: "At this time, when he went out of the city to deliver a letter, he was not afraid of the criminal Guan Wu, and combined with his crime, it can be seen that this person wants to make meritorious contributions as soon as possible." ”

Thinking of this, the county commander immediately stopped doubting in his heart, and instead asked: "How are your martial arts, can you ride a horse?" ”

Guan Wudao: "Although he is not talented, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, not to mention his bravery, but it is difficult for three or five people to get close." As for horseback riding, although not very proficient, it is not a big problem. ”

The county magistrate asked again: "You have thought about it, it is a very dangerous thing to go out of the city to deliver a letter, and if you are not careful, you may die in battle." ”

Guan Wu just said quietly: "Although there is no regret in death!" ”

The county commander looked at this stubborn young man, and immediately became arrogant, and said: "If you can really send the letter to Daolong County before the Qiang people, I will ask for credit for you and forgive your crimes." ”

Guan Wu was immediately overjoyed, knelt on the ground and said, "Don't give up!" ”
