Lu Zhu looked at it from the side, and knew the concerns in his heart, and persuaded in a low voice: "Big brother, don't worry too much, as internal responses, the errand we should do is to open the city gate, and then, in fact, it is not our business." Now that the situation has been reversed by the official army, it is Qiu Yuande's incompetence, and it has nothing to do with us! We have fought bloody battles and restrained so many officers and soldiers, which is meritorious! On the side of the army, it should not embarrass us! ”

Zhu Dong nodded, Lu Zhu's words were still very reasonable.

"Ma Qing is afraid that he is already unlucky, what about Yu Sui?" Zhu Dong was a little hesitant.

"Can't wait, big brother." Lu Zhu persuaded: "If it is equal to Sui, we will all have to be trapped here." ”

Zhu Dong finally made a decision, gave several orders, and began to retreat with his subordinates.

Tian Shi didn't stop him, he also roughly understood Dong Ce's intentions, and thought that this was the most appropriate and safe method. In today's battle, Dong Ce's department was in the limelight, and the biggest credit was taken by him, but Tian Shi didn't get nothing, and in real terms, the credit was not small, and he was quite content.

And in any case, he is also a man of general knowledge.

Finally, Zhu Dong led people to withdraw from the south city gate.

At this time, the reinforcements of the invading army had not yet arrived, and Qiu Yuande and others did not dare to advance outside the city gate, and they did not dare to retreat.

Zhu Dong and the others withdrew, Dong Ce ordered the gate to be closed, the huge and heavy city gate slowly closed, Zhu Dong looked back, and happened to look at Dong Ce. Dong Ce smiled faintly and waved his hand gently, as if saying goodbye to an old friend for many years.

The gates of the city were slammed shut!

Dong Ce said in a deep voice: "Quickly go and inform Li Keshou and ask him to organize the people to come and block the city gate!" ”

"Yes!"

A family member took the order and left.

Tian Shi also came, he rode his horse to Dong Ce's side, and let out a long sigh.

Dong Ce looked at him and said with a smile: "Lord Tian, the defense here will be entrusted to you for the time being." ”

Tian Shi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"East Gate." Dong Ce said: "Lord Bai's life and death are unknown, you have to go over and take a look!" ”

"It's better to focus on the south gate."

Tian Shi came a little late—not because he was deliberately delaying, but because he wanted to gather the soldiers, the fifty men under him who had fled before and were in charge of guarding the south gate. Most of these family members are thieves, and most of them hid, and they only came out one after another when they saw the friendly military, so they didn't do much damage. This made Tian Shi overjoyed, after these people came back, he had one hundred and seventy or eighty men under his command, and his strength had recovered a lot.

Listening to Dong Ce's words, Tian Shi frowned, just now he had seen the large firelight that was approaching outside the city, and knew that it was the reinforcements of the intruding army.

"Reinforcements are coming, and we are going to attack the south gate, so let's stick to the south gate."

Tian Shi said in a deep voice.

What he said is also quite reasonable, but Dong Ce's thinking is a little different from his.

"Lord Tian, since Zhu Dong is reversed, those people he arranged at the East City Gate must also be reversed, if Lord Bai is unfortunate and the East City Gate is lost, then the army can enter from the East City Gate at any time, and it will be useless for us to stick here." Dong Ce said lightly: "I have to go and see it after all." ”

In fact, in Dong Ce's view, it is not very likely that the enemy will attack the south gate. These invading troops are reinforcements, and their purpose at the beginning was to enter the city, not to attack the city, and they should have brought siege equipment or something. And even if you bring it, what can you do? Taking advantage of the night to attack the city, it was too difficult for them.

If the commander of the army on the other side was more sensible, he should have withdrawn as soon as he saw that the city gate had been recaptured by the official army. Because of the current situation, it is already impossible for the army to break through.

Of course, if the person in charge of the reinforcements on the other side is a madman or an idiot, then I don't know what will happen, but this is really unlikely.

The reason why I want to go to the East Gate is because there are variables there. In addition to the South Gate, the other gates are actually not very likely to be attacked, but Dong Ce always has to go to the East Gate to have a look. The east gate is in their own hands, and it is possible that the invading army will not attack, but if it falls into the hands of the rebels and someone informs the invading army, will the invading army not attack?

As for the north gate, there are soldiers left by Tian Shi to defend it, although there are not many, but there is no need to worry too much.

Liutian Shi is here, the one hundred and seventy or eighty soldiers under Arida Shi, plus the two people under his hands, even if the army attacks, they can hold on.

"In that case, then I'll go! The south gate is important, and it must be presided over by Lord Dong. There are still 20 soldiers under my command at the east gate, and I don't know what happened to them, and I am very worried about them. ”

Seeing that Dong Ce said resolutely, Tian Shi didn't want to say anything, after all, now Liu Ruozai trusted Dong Ce more, he rolled his eyes, and suddenly said.

It was good for him to find this excuse, at the beginning, twenty of his men were assigned to Bai Tianfu's men, and at this time, life and death were unknown. But how can you hide it from Dong Ce? Dong Ce immediately understood what kind of calculation he was playing.

In the final analysis, Tian Shi still felt that the army was very likely to attack the south gate, and the intensity of the attack would be very large, and it was not a good errand to garrison the south gate, and there would be considerable damage. He even guessed whether Dong Ce had let himself garrison the south gate because of this, and he went to the east gate himself.

He really wronged Dong Ce this time, Dong Ce this time is completely for the sake of the overall situation, and he has no selfishness.

Dong Ce only felt that it was very boring, since you want to go, then go.

"Since Lord Tian wants to go, then I don't have any opinions." Dong Ce smiled: "But there are only these dozens of soldiers under his hands, and they are really weak." Lord Tian still has to leave some soldiers under him to succeed. ”

"Cheng, how much do you say to keep?" Tian Shi was very happy this time, and he also knew that Dong Ce was indeed short of manpower, and he had to keep some soldiers, otherwise it would be too unreasonable, and Liu Ruozai would be very dissatisfied.

"At least one hundred and thirty!" Dong Ce stretched out a finger: "There is no need for too many people at the east gate." ”

"No! Master Dong, you are too open-mouthed. Tian Shi looked at him and sneered: "Just now you said that the east gate is important, and now you say that you don't need too many people, no matter how you say it, it's all your mouth!" ”

"And how much do you say?" Dong Ce said with a frown.

Tian Shi gestured: "Eighty at most!" ”

"No, one hundred and two!" Dong Ce counteroffered.

"Eighty-five, no more." Tian Shidao.

……

The two bargained and finally settled on a number: one hundred.

With these 100 people, plus his own men, even if the invading army launches a large-scale attack, it is enough to resist.

Tian Shi led people to the east, watched him go all the way, and then Dong Ce went up to the city wall.

On the city wall, there was a busy scene, some families stood behind the battlements of the city wall, holding bows and arrows in their hands, the arrows were already on the strings, and the sharp arrows were pointing outside the city. However, in order to save strength, the bow was not fully drawn. Others were cleaning up the defensive equipment on the city walls, where some junior officers shouted and commanded.

Dong Ce glanced at it, and raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised.

Tian Shi left a hundred people to listen to his command, but Dong Ce also knew very well that it was impossible to make other people's subordinates obey his orders. Originally, he still had thoughts, saying that he had to rectify the two Tian Shi's subordinates, kill the chickens to show the monkeys, and deter everyone from doing it. But I didn't expect that all these people under Tian Shi were honest, they were all working here, and they couldn't find anyone who could clean up their own troubles.

But he didn't know what these Tian Shi were thinking. It is true that they are arrogant, but it also depends on who they follow, in front of ordinary people and military households, they are naturally domineering and domineering, but when they encounter hard stubble, they also know restraint and honesty. In their eyes, Dong Ce is the kind of person who cannot be offended. At the beginning, outside Zhenhe Fort, Dong Ce connived at his subordinates to kill the two Huang Wan's family members, and mercilessly scolded Huang Man, the deputy general of the family Ding team, which has made other people clearly realize that this Lord Dong is not afraid of his own Lord Huang at all, let alone afraid of them.
