What happened in the previous life finally happened, but Li Minglou has not received the news yet.
The scouts outside Dou County used beacon fire to tell how many more troops and horses were attacking the city and from which direction they were coming, but they could not tell what happened in the capital.
The city outside Dou County is surrounded by water.
The winter morning was very cold, but it was also the time when people were most sleepy. A young soldier lying on the city wall was holding a crossbow with heavy eyelids, but a shrill scream came from behind him, making him shiver and lose all sleep. He turned around. Looking over the shoulder, I looked at the brightly lit place under the city gate. Compared to the quiet on the city wall, there were people coming and going inside, crying and shouting.
That was the place where wounded soldiers received their first treatment.
There was a battle in the middle of the night. The outer wall had been abandoned and everyone retreated to the big city wall. The big city wall was tall and thick, but some people were still injured by random arrows.
"It doesn't matter if you can scream, it proves that you still have energy." Minzhuang next to him consoled him.
Minzhuang from before also nodded: "Yes, I saw the injured yesterday. Mrs. Wu's doctor was very powerful. The arrow penetrated so deep. He cut it with a click, pulled it out, and cut off the rotten flesh with two squeaking knives. I sprinkled medicine on him, wrapped him in a cloth, and drank a bowl of medicine, and the man came back to life."
He stretched out his hand to make gestures as he spoke.
Min Zhuang, who was next to him, covered his arm and trembled: "Ah, stop talking, it hurts me."
The two laughed, dispelling the chill and fear.
Seeing the excitement they were talking about, someone came over and said, "Do you think those outside are really rebels?"
That day, after repelling more than a hundred soldiers and horses who came to call for the door, many more came overwhelmingly. Thieves came to attack, shouting for the murderer. There were many people, shields, and powerful crossbows. The outer wall could not stop them. Everyone They all retreated to the big city wall and relied on the big city wall to withstand the siege.
These soldiers and horses did not disperse. They came to the city gate and shouted curses, rebelling, being thieves, and going out of the city to die.
Many people at the city gate were a little confused when they heard this. Are these people really not rebels? Many people have this idea in their minds, but now that they are holding a crossbow, they can't help but listen to orders. The previous training in the military camp seems to have become instinctive.
"It's not rebels. Why don't they dare to enter the city?" Someone immediately retorted.
Yes, when these soldiers and horses screamed and cursed, the general at the city wall opened the city gate directly and said that if they were not rebels, they could come into the city and they would not be stopped if they entered as they pleased.
As a result, the soldiers and horses refused to enter, and only the officials in the city and Mrs. Wu were allowed to leave the city.
"Perhaps they suspected that we were rebels and were scared." Someone laughed. Although it was not the time to laugh now, and there was nothing funny about it, looking at those swarming soldiers and horses facing the wide-open city gate No one dared to come in, so I wanted to laugh.
There are so many people who are afraid of them. He is one of them, but some officers and soldiers are actually afraid of him.
The sound of footsteps came from behind, accompanied by voices.
"Doctor, is that enough?" This was a female voice.
"The doctors in the city have opened their doors to treat the wounded soldiers." A male voice replied immediately.
"We have enough medicine for wounds." Another male voice said.
It was Mrs. Wu who came. Several people stopped talking and stood in front of their seats with their heads lowered. They did not look back, feeling a group of people walking behind them, bringing warmth instead of cold wind.
Mrs. Wu would come to the city wall every day. She also came when the battle started last night. Some people heard General Yuan advising her to go to the county government office and wait. The dangers here are unpredictable, so Mrs. Wu just smiled.
"I didn't die like this." She said, looking at the arrows flying from outside the city with fire, "I'm just standing here to see if God dares to let me die like this."
It sounds a bit weird, but it feels very powerful for no reason.
Li Minglou stood at the highest point of the city wall and stopped. The morning light gradually brightened and he could see the wilderness in the distance. The wilderness in winter still had traces of the battle.
"Master Yu has calculated and announced everyone's ration quota, and the people have accepted it. Many people even added water to the porridge and drank it twice." Yuanji said.
Mr. Yu is the county clerk who knows how to count. His surname is Yu and his last name is Qian. It is a name that suits his status very well.
Now Yu Qian has taken over all the material allocation. It is said that he was frightened by the huge amount on the first day and hid in the warehouse crying. However, the people who came to beg for various supplies still got what they wanted in time. Yu Qian is so hardworking. Yuanji paid no attention to it anymore. He unloaded a mountain and concentrated on fighting.
Li Minglou said: "Tell everyone not to do this and eat enough."??How can we defend the city if we don't have the strength? "
Yuanji responded, and a guard immediately took note of the matter and conveyed it to the person in charge.
"There is no problem in defending the city. Their troops came briskly and they don't have tools to attack the city." Yuan Ji said, "I wonder if Huainan Road will send troops."
The scouts who stayed outside would naturally spread the news that Dou County was under siege, and would also report it to Guangzhou Prefecture and Huainan Road.
"After the fight is over, we should send troops to take a look." Li Minglou said.
Yuanji smiled, and the lady¡¯s witticisms were also very interesting.
Li Minglou didn¡¯t smile. Looking at the morning light in front of him, his voice became a little sharp: "Ankangshan and his son, it turned out that they were acting like this from the beginning."
What? Yuan Ji looked at it, his expression condensed.
The soldiers and horses that retreated last night came again, but this time the ones walking in front were not fierce soldiers and horses, but a group of crying men, women, and children.
Cries and shouts resounded outside the city.
The faces of Minzhuang on the city wall turned ugly, and many people's hands holding crossbows were trembling.
Dou County is not only a county town, but also has many villages. Despite repeated warnings and orders, it is still impossible to protect all the people in the city.
These soldiers and horses actually captured the people.
"Come out and accept surrender!"
"Otherwise, kill these people!"
"If you are not rebels, come out to save the people."
There were shouts and curses, mixed with the cries of the people.
¡°These people were tied with ropes, like cattle and sheep being driven. Some people were taken down if they walked slowly, and they were immediately beaten with whips and spears. Many people were scarred. They stopped and knelt down in front of the outer wall.
The originally noisy people on the city wall became silent.
"Officials and citizens of Dou County." A general came out and shouted in a deep voice, "Everyone who is causing trouble is a thief and can be killed."
His voice fell and he raised his hand with a knife.
An old man kneeling in front of him screamed and fell to the ground.
The people on both sides screamed in fright, tried to run away, or collapsed and fainted. The people on the city wall screamed in surprise, and many people stood up.
"If you don't go out of the city and plead guilty, you will end up like this." The general shouted, raising the knife in his hand again.
A sharp sound broke through the air. The general's skill was extraordinary. The sword was horizontally moved in time. With a clang, the arrow hit the handle of the knife and broke. The horse neighed and took a few steps back. The general's mouth was numb and his face changed. After a few changes, he deliberately stopped on the outer wall to avoid the shooting range, but it almost shot through him at such a distance. The soldiers on both sides raised their shields to surround him.
The black umbrella in Fang's second hand has been in Li Minglou's hand, and he is holding a heavy bow in his hand.
Li Minglou looked forward: "Go out of the city and kill the thieves." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
