As for killing him now, it would be unwise. In fact, it's not that Zhang Cheng is brainless, it's just that he has become a habit of bullying these soldiers, and he never thought that they would dare to resist.

And Dong Ce, as a military general, is unhappy for Zhu Dong. He secretly said in his heart that if he changed himself to Zhu Dong's position, he was afraid that he would kill Zhang Cheng with one knife now.

"Alright, alright." Liu Ruozai saw that it was not a problem, and if it continued like this, the external troubles would still be there, so there would be internal strife first. He came over to play a round: "Master Zhang, don't be angry! Although this Zhu Dong is at fault, but this is a time of crisis, and he should be allowed to make meritorious contributions to his crimes, isn't it? The change of generals before the battle is really ominous. ”

He looked at Zhu Dong again, his expression immediately became much more severe, and he scolded: "Zhu Dong, why don't you hurry up and kowtow to Lord Zhang to make amends?" ”

Zhu Dong gritted his teeth and bit out blood, he finally knelt on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and said astringently: "Master Zhang, is it a subordinate official, you have a lot of bosses, please don't be like a subordinate official." ”

Zhang Cheng snorted coldly and didn't speak, obviously still angry. However, since Liu Ruozai has spoken, he also wants to give Liu Ruozai face, so he plans not to pursue this matter first, and then talk about it after he has repelled the thief.

Liu Ruozai waved his hand towards Zhu Dong: "You go down first." ”

"Yes!" Zhu Dong stood up, staggered, and went down the city wall with a gloomy expression.

As soon as he entered the barracks, he saw Lu Zhu walking out with a few people, everyone was fierce, Zhu Dong was shocked: "Second brother, what are you going to do." ”

"That dog official bullying the big brother like this, it's really unbearable!" Lu Zhu said fiercely: "I made up my mind just now, if he dares to close the eldest brother, I will kill him directly, rob the eldest brother, and we will surrender the thief!" ”

As soon as he said this, Zhu Dong was sad, covered his face and cried: "I can't live with the brothers! The brethren were wronged with me. ”

Lu Zhu and the others hurriedly comforted, Zhu Dong cried for a while, and suddenly raised his head, his eyes were full of determination, and he asked Lu Zhu in a low voice: "Can you still contact that Chaotianxing's subordinates?" ”

……

After Zhu Dong left, Liu Ruozai asked Zhang Cheng: "Master Zhang, how many soldiers do you have in your hands now?" Are all four gates defended? Do you want my men to help? ”

"Well, there are about 400 soldiers. As for the defense of the four gates......" Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment, snorted and mixed up, and then said with a smile: "Lord Liu is really high-spirited, if he can get the help of his subordinates, it would be great." ”

Seeing his expression, Liu Ruozai was even more sure that he was greedy for Zhu Dong's credit, and he couldn't even tell the situation of the four defenses, and dared to say that the defense was arranged by him?

Originally, Zhang Cheng was worried that Liu Ruozai would flee when he saw that the situation was not good, after all, he was burdened with heavy lives, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to help defend the palace. In fact, Liu Ruozai did this for himself, his hundreds of cavalry are easy to go, those big cars are really difficult, if they leave yesterday, the thieves may not know, and they will not be able to get out. But if you go now, you'll definitely get stuck to it. The most important thing at the moment is to defend the city, and everything else is not to be mentioned. Wait until the defense is successful, and then talk about anything else.

Seeing that he couldn't come up with a reason, Liu Ruozai glanced at Dong Ce, Dong Ce understood, and said, "My lord, my subordinates take a look around." ”

Liu Ruozai nodded: "Go ahead." ”

Dong Ce took Bai Zhongqi and a few others along the city wall to the east, and the more he looked at it, the more cold he became.

First of all, the city wall of Chengcheng County is very dilapidated, although there are no cracks on the city wall, but some places are very badly damaged, some sections of the female wall have collapsed, and some sections are two or three feet closer than the city wall in other places, and I don't know how to get it. For example, in this section of the city wall, the advantage of the defending side is much smaller. These places are estimated to have been destroyed by the rebels when Chengcheng County was defeated last year, but now several months have passed, and they have not been repaired, I really don't know what Zhang Cheng did.

"It's a waste to have more than enough success." Dong Ce scolded fiercely in his heart.

The second is that there are too many thieves.

From the south gate, it is a boundless fire, and now Dong Ce is standing on the city wall in the southeast corner of the city, and it is still an endless fire, looking like this, it seems that the entire south of Chengcheng County is covered with thieves, I don't know how much.

The defense of the south city wall is mainly concentrated near the south gate, Dong Ce walked over this way, and only saw a few soldiers parading around, but did not see a large force of defense.

Walking north from the southeast corner, there was no trace of the thieves outside the east wall, and until they reached the east gate, they saw about sixty or seventy soldiers. When I walked to the north gate, I found that there seemed to be fewer soldiers here, only forty or fifty, and there were slightly more soldiers at the west gate, with more than a hundred people. Most of the soldiers were still concentrated at the south gate.

This is also how it should be, after all, the focus of the thieves is now the south gate, and in this era, the offensive and defensive battles of a city are actually carried out around a certain city gate or several city gates.

Dong Ce returned to the south gate and told Liu Ruozai the general situation.

He didn't add any fuel to the fire, but told the truth, of course, some sections of the city wall had to focus on defense because they had not been renovated and their defense capabilities had to be reduced, and he also said it honestly. On the other hand, Zhang Chengting's face couldn't hold it, but Dong Ce was the person brought by Liu Ruozai, and he was also a dignified garrison plus a commander, and he didn't dare to reprimand him like he reprimanded Zhu Dong, but he said in a weird manner: "Yo, look at this, Lord Dong is a military officer, so let's talk about it, how to do it." ”

Dong Ce is not afraid of him, he was unwilling to provoke him before, because he was afraid that Liu Ruozai would think that he did not know how to measure, and at this time, Zhang Cheng made a provocative statement, and he was not afraid. Then he said lightly: "There's nothing to say, you don't need to read the military book, and you don't need to fight for a few years, anyone who has read the book for a few years should know that the four gates must be guarded, but it is just the number of troops, and the weak areas on the city wall must also be guarded, and it is necessary to seize the time to rest." It is also necessary to send out rangers to contact various offices and report the news. They also scattered some of their troops in the city, in case some bad people took advantage of the opportunity. At this time, you should use heavy methods, as long as there is someone who dares to cause trouble, you will immediately kill it with a knife. ”

Dong Ce finished speaking, his expression was still light, but he choked Zhang Cheng enough.

How could he not hear it, Dong Ce's words were full of guns and sticks, which was clearly sarcastic that he didn't understand anything. He was about to speak, but was blocked by Liu Ruozai. Liu Ruozai said: "What Hanchen said is reasonable, so do it." ”

He looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "Master Zhang, what this official means is that there are 300 soldiers in the city left at the south gate, and this official will allocate another 50 soldiers for reinforcements. The three city gates in the east, west and north are all guarded by the subordinates of the official, supplemented by the defenders of the city, I don't know what you think? ”

Zhang Cheng could only nod yes, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

Liu Ruozai nodded, and ordered in a loud voice: "Dong Ce, you guard the west gate, take the officers and soldiers of the headquarters and the garrison of the city fifty, Bai Tianfu, you guard the east gate, take the officers and soldiers of the headquarters and Tian Shisuo's department twenty, and the garrison of the city fifty." Tian Shi, you guard the north gate and take the headquarters with a hundred. Tian Shi, you divide fifty and send them to the south gate. The remaining 90 soldiers of Tian Shi's department and Xie Dingkun's department, a total of more than 130 cavalry, were personally commanded by the official and rushed to help everywhere at any time. ”

"Yes!"

Everyone should say yes in unison.

Then Liu Ruozai asked Zhang Cheng to write an official document and distribute it to everyone, which was the proof when he went.

"Let's all go down and prepare." Liu Ruozai waved his hand and said.

Dong Ce and the others all got off the city wall, rushed back to the front of the big mansion where they were stationed, and brought their respective soldiers and horses out. Dong Ce took his headquarters to the west gate, settled the war horse under the city wall, and led everyone up to the city wall.

The fifty local garrisons assigned to him were already waiting there. Dong Ce understood why Liu Ruozai did this, just above the head of Nancheng, Zhu Dong had already expressed a considerable degree of dissatisfaction, Liu Ruozai was worried that he would be unstable, so he divided the troops in his hands a lot, as for the fifty Tian Shi's men sent in Nancheng, they said that they were helping, I am afraid that there will be more elements of surveillance. The fifty soldiers sent, Dong Ce glanced at them, and his heart was slightly sour.
