"The deserters are calling!"
"Pack up your things and run for your life!"
In the streets and alleys of Ganquan Mansion, there is panic everywhere.
In the freezing weather, the people who were supposed to stay in warm homes carried parcels, led livestock, and fled this border city with their families.
The streets were crowded with people, yelling and cursing were endless, and everyone looked flustered and walked in a hurry.
The news of the desert empire's invasion has already spread, and no one knows when the desert empire's army will arrive.
Now the people of Oasis Mansion are scrambling to escape here, fearing that they will also be involved in the war.
? Ganquan Mansion of Daning Province has actually been stable for more than a year, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and have long been accustomed to a stable life.
But now that the desert empire has invaded, the people have to flee their homes in a hurry while cursing.
They didn't know where they could flee to, but they felt that it was much better than staying in Ganquan Mansion.
After getting the news of the desert empire's invasion, Qin Yongzhi, the chief executive officer of Ganquan Mansion, rushed back to Ganquan Mansion to sit in charge immediately.
However, he was stopped at the gate of the city by people scrambling to flee. The gate of the city was crowded with people, chariots and horses, making it difficult for Qin Yongzhi to enter the city.
"Get out of the way, make way for Mr. Qin!"
"Let Lord Qin enter the city!"
Qin Yongzhi's entourage and guards were screaming loudly, trying to squeeze out a way, but they were squeezed to pieces by the rushing out of the people.
Qin Yongzhi, the chief executive officer, was also squeezed to the ground and covered in muddy water. If a guard hadn't pulled him up, the chief executive would probably have been trampled to death.
"It seems to be Mr. Qin!"
At this time, a thousand people from the Security Banner Regiment on the tower noticed the chaos at the gate of the city.
"Quickly, go and bring Mr. Qin into the city!"
With the order of the general of thousands of people, more than a hundred soldiers of the security banner regiment in full armor quickly went down to the city, and then Qin Yongzhi, the Chief of Political Affairs, was taken to the tower.
"The city is in chaos, why don't you maintain order?!"
Standing on the city tower and seeing the fleeing people crowded on the street, Qin Yongzhi, who was covered in mud, also loudly questioned Gao Jie, the general of thousands of people guarding the city.
"My lord, it's not that I don't want to maintain order, but that I don't have enough people to defend the city" General Gao Jie was full of grievances.
"Where are the other people in the city?" Qin Yongzhi asked.
"Deputy Banner Cao led his men and left in the morning, saying that he was going to investigate the enemy's situation and ordered me to stay and defend the city."
Qin Yongzhi asked again: "Where is Mr. Ma in the city, don't he have yamen servants under his command to arrest the police, and there are more than a hundred people, why don't they come out?"
"At noon, I saw Mr. Ma leaving the city. I heard that he was asking for help." General Gao Jie replied.
Qin Yongzhi, chief of government affairs, asked a few simple questions, and then he figured out why the city was so chaotic.
That's because Ma Jun, the deputy head of Ganquan Mansion, slipped away when he saw the situation was not good, and the left-behind deputy head of the public security banner also left the city.
If he hadn't come back in time, the highest position left behind in Ganquan Mansion would be Gao Jie, the city guard.
"Now you assign two hundred people to maintain order in the city and ensure stability in the city!"
Now Qin Yongzhi didn't have the time to worry about what the officials who left Ganquan Mansion were doing, so he immediately gave orders to Qianren General Gao Jie.
"Kill!"
"Puff!"
"ah!"
"People from the Desert Empire are coming!"
But before Qin Yongzhi could finish his words, there was a sudden shout of killing at the gate of the city.
I saw dozens of people wearing civilian costumes holding sharp knives, chopping and chopping the people at the gate of the city, blood flying.
These people are scouts in disguise from the Desert Empire. They saw the chaos at the gate of Ganquanfu, so they wanted to take the opportunity to seize the city.
Seeing the sound of shouting and killing at the gate of the city, Qin Yongzhi, Chief of Political Affairs, also looked down.
"Master Qin, the people from the Desert Empire have arrived, and I will cover your retreat!" General Gao Jie hurriedly said.
"There are only a few dozen of them, don't be afraid of them!" Qin Yongzhi took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"General Gao Qian, you quickly lead the people to repel the enemy and close the city.??! "Qin Yongzhi instructed Gao Jie.
Gao Jie, a thousand-person general, belongs to the Security Banner Regiment, and he is considered a member of the military system. Although Qin Yongzhi's rank is higher than him, he actually has no affiliation.
Gao Jie wanted to cover Qin Yongzhi's retreat just now, but he was actually worried that the higher-ups would pursue him in the future. With Qin Yongzhi as a shield, he can be safe and sound.
However, Qin Yongzhi refused to leave and asked him to close the city gate, which undoubtedly put him in a dilemma.
If you run away now, in case the court blames you, you will not be able to run away as a deserter, and your head may fall.
But now, if he listens to Qin Yongzhi, chief minister of government affairs, and stays in Ganquan Mansion, it will be very dangerous.
"General Gao Qian, hurry up, or they will take away the city gate!"
Seeing Gao Jie standing there without moving, Qin Yongzhi urged him.
"You protect Lord Qin, and the rest follow me!"
After thinking for a while, Qian Ren drew Gao Jie out of his saber, and led the security soldiers on the tower down the city ladder.
Soon, a fierce battle broke out at the gate of the city. The security guards led by Thousand General Gao Jie fought with the desert empire's disguised scouts.
There were only a few dozen desert empire scouts who sneaked to the gate of Ganquanfu City. Although they were elite, Gao Jie and the others were numerous and powerful.
After a fight, more than 20 remaining desert empire scouts saw that the situation was not good, so they could only retreat hastily.
"Close the city gate!"
At the gate of the city lay the bodies of civilians, desert empire scouts and security soldiers.
General Gao Jie, who was covered in blood all over his body, ignored the fleeing enemies and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed.
The soldiers of the Security Banner Regiment are not as powerful as the Far East Field Forces. Most of them are recruited from local young adults. Except for some officers, almost none of them have any actual combat experience.
Although they repelled the desert empire's scouts and beheaded more than 20 people just now, they themselves suffered more than 30 casualties.
However, after seeing the city gate closed, the stone hanging in Qin Yongzhi's heart finally fell to the ground on the city tower.
"Master Qin has an order that no one is allowed to leave the city, and those who disobey the order will be executed!"
"Master Qin has an order that no one is allowed to leave the city, and those who disobey the order will be executed!"
Many people also saw the battle that broke out at the gate of the city. Now that the battle was over, they wanted to escape from the city, but they were stopped by security soldiers.
Now Qin Yongzhi naturally did not dare to open the city rashly, he was worried that people from the Desert Empire would get in and take the opportunity to seize the city.
"General Gao Qian, I will leave the guards of Ganquan Mansion to you!"
After Qin Yongzhi explained Gao Jie to Qianren, he was able to withdraw and return to the government office in the city.
However, in the government office at this moment, except for a few yamen servants guarding the door, none of the officials, big or small, has disappeared.
After seeing this scene, Qin Yongzhi, Chief of Political Affairs, also cursed at these people as cowards! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
