Gongsun Jian kept chattering like a wolf grandmother who abducted children. But the four mastiffs seemed to understand all of them, and they bowed their heads to eat meat without saying a word, and raised their heads from time to time to glance at Gongsun Jian, obviously thinking that his speed of dividing meat was too slow. It's better to just throw them in and let them bite on their own.

After feeding the meat in his hand, Gongsun Jian carefully opened the cage door of the kennel. This cage is so strong that no matter how powerful the four mastiffs are, they won't be able to get out without anyone opening them. Normally, they are only let out in the dead of night and wander around the yard. If Gong Yu Wu slept late or Xie Wu was here, he would even let them go around the stone alley.

The four mastiffs came out of the cage, first approached Gongsun Jian affectionately and sniffed it, and then went to sniff Wei Meng on the side. Only then did he go through the small moon gate in the backyard to the front yard, and squatted in front of the gate in a row, as if waiting for something.

Now these four mastiffs have been fed for almost a year and are approaching adulthood. Each one is the size of a newborn foal. This is also the reason why Gongsun Jian wants people to make such a sturdy kennel. I'm afraid that once they come out and can't be controlled, they will hurt people. Even a man like Wei Meng was a little frightened after encountering these four mastiffs with his bare hands. According to Xie Wu's words, if it was on the grassland, these four mastiffs would definitely be able to deal with more than a hundred wolves.

The dogs are waiting, and the people are waiting. At the fourth and third quarters, the gate of the small courtyard was gently knocked from outside. It was Zhao Sihai who came in. As soon as he entered, he was almost scared to death by the four mastiffs squatting. I've seen it before, but it's in a cage, and now it's been released.

The four mastiffs were obviously not interested in Zhao Sihai, but they all stood up because of the opening of the courtyard door. Gongsun Jian first motioned to the mastiff to continue waiting, and then comforted Zhao Sihai not to be afraid.

Zhao Sihai, who had finally calmed down, said in a trembling voice: "My lord, Lao Ma contacted me. It's great that you're back. Everything is arranged. There are about 10,000 Ding Zhuang in the city who voluntarily follow us to act, but at the moment there are not enough weapons. ”

"How can there be so many people?" Gongsun Jian asked in some surprise.

"Your Excellency, you don't know. Since the capture of the county seat by the surnamed Qian, everything has been chaotic. Although Zhang Han still wants to learn from you to maintain the original appearance, the merchants, whether they are from our Zhou State or Wu State, are not coming. Naturally, the docks had nothing to do, and the steel mills and ordnance factories were also sabotaged and closed doors. Most of them lost their jobs, and Qian Yan led his troops to attack Zhenyuan Pass, so he asked us to pay for food. Now the people of the entire Linshui County are eager for Zhang Han and Qian Yan, the two dog thieves, to die as soon as possible, and at the same time, they also hope that you can come back as soon as possible to make decisions for everyone. ”

Gongsun Jian nodded slightly, and understood the reason. It is no wonder that the ancients often said, 'There is more help for the righteous and little help for the unjust'. It seems that there is nothing wrong with that. It is precisely because everyone remembers that his Gongsun Jian is good, and the latecomers have not been able to continue the happy life. So once he comes back, it's really just like Ding Feng said, he only needs to climb high and shout, which can be described as a cloud. It seems that I was a little more cautious before. This time, not only can Liu Dayuan, Gong Yuwu and others be rescued, but it is also easy to reoccupy Linshui County.

As he spoke, the time was soon approaching the scheduled fifth watch. Gongsun Jian asked Zhao Sihai to tell Ma Teng and others to attack the county government and try to capture Zhang Han and the envoys of the imperial court alive, and he took Wei Meng to the prison first to save people. Then the two sides converged to deal with the soldiers in the city.

After the order was finished, Zhao Sihai left early, and Gongsun Jian and Wei Meng also locked the door of the small courtyard and walked silently on the street with four mastiffs. The four huge mastiffs were sticking their tongues out of their mouths at the moment, their teeth exposed, and they were ready to attack. And Gongsun Jian suppressed them one by one. Obviously, these four mastiffs have long known where Gongyu Wu is being held through the identification of smells, and if it weren't for Gongsun Jian suppressing them, I'm afraid they would have run away with their lives.

As they approached the prison, the two and the four mastiffs were finally discovered by the guards on the perimeter.

"Someone, stop." One of the soldiers shouted. But then his legs and stomach began to cramp a little.

I saw two people in black armor walking slowly on the opposite side. A slender man with a crossbow in his hand, a long knife slightly wider than the standard horizontal knife on his back, and four hammer-like objects hanging from his waist. The other one was nine feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, holding a pair of short lances for foot combat, and four small hammers also hung from his waist.

This is not the point, the most important thing is the four mastiffs like foals on the sides of the two of them, eight green eyes emitting bursts of cold light, in the moonlight and the light, the canines with the length of adult thumbs are exposed outside the mouth, dripping and drooling.

When have you ever seen two people like this and four dogs like this? And the people and the dog all walked silently, not fast, but not slow. Quietly, there was not a trace of movement. The air seemed to be frozen. And it's as if they've come out of hell and died.

With a 'whoosh', the thin man pulled the trigger of the crossbow in his hand, and the crossbow arrow pierced the throat of one of the defenders opposite.

And then the killing began!

Linshui County was completely chaotic at dawn, and the sounds of fighting came and went. Gongsun Jian and Wei Meng quickly killed the guards on the periphery of the prison, and Hu Tianyi in the inner layer had already led his subordinates Jin Longwei to protect Liu Dayuan and Gongyuwu and others to break out.

Liu Dayuan saw Gongsun Jian at a glance, and hurriedly ran over and cried and shouted, "My lord, you are here." I've finally been looking forward to you. ”

"Get up and don't cry. Look what you look like. In the future, at least he will be a person at the level of a prime minister, so he is not afraid that his colleagues will laugh about today's events in the future? Gongsun Jian scolded angrily, turned around and shot another guard with an arrow.

Liu Dayuan was stunned and immediately got up from the ground. It turns out that his position in Gongsun Jian's mind is so important. I can't really say that I can really become Zaisuke in the future! Think about it, maybe following Gongsun Jian is the wisest choice and investment in his life.

"Don't worry, sir. I, Liu Dayuan, have followed you all my life. Even if you die, you will never regret it. Liu Dayuan came to the spirit, ran to the side, picked up a knife and held it in his hand and pretended to be.

Gongsun Jian didn't pay attention to him anymore, but greeted Hu Tianyi.

"Take someone to cover Lao Liu, they retreated and went to the county office. I guess it's almost possible to take it now. But if it was not possible, he went to the west gate. Someone over there answered. ”

"Yes. Subordinates know. "After all, Hu Tianyi was born in the military, so he was simply neat.

So the group, Wei Meng and Gongsun Jian were responsible for opening the way, and Hu Tianyi and his Jin Longwei were responsible for covering Liu Dayuan, Gongyuwu and Feng Wan'er and others to evacuate from the prison and go to the county government along the streets in the city.

It didn't take long to meet Zhao Sihai, who came to meet them.

"My lord, the county government has been taken, and Zhang Han's bastard and the dog officials sent by the court have all been captured alive."

"Okay." Gongsun Jian laughed happily, and then asked, "What is the situation in the rest of the city?" Did the defenders of the city resist fiercely? ”

"The west gate has been occupied by Lord Ding, and Lord Tian is leading people to clean up in the south of the city, and the battle between the north and the county government is still fierce. The situation in the east is unclear. ”

"Let's go, let's go to the county government first."

It didn't take long for Gongsun Jian and others to arrive at the county office smoothly, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Ma Teng covered in blood and carrying a knife.

"Old Ma, what's the situation?" Gongsun Jian asked anxiously.

"Nai Nai, these soldiers didn't care about Zhang Han's life or death at all, they attacked desperately, and finally retreated with the help of Lao Ding." Ma Teng gasped and replied.

Gongsun Jian frowned slightly when he heard this, it makes no sense that these soldiers don't listen to Zhang Han's command? It stands to reason that Zhang Han is the highest official in Linshui County at the moment, and these soldiers should obey Zhang Han's command. After thinking about it, Gongsun Jian understood the reason.

Qian Yan was on the front line against the Wu army, and Linshui County at this moment was undoubtedly his base camp and logistics base. Therefore, Linshui County must not be lost. Otherwise, not only will there be a situation where the belly and back will be attacked, but there will also be problems with the supply of grain and grass.

"Kill!" Gongsun Jian roared and said, "Lao Ma gathers all those who can fight, don't worry about the county government, leave it to Hu here." Take the others with me. ”

At this time, there is nothing to say, only by killing and retreating and killing those Zhou soldiers can it be possible to completely recover Linshui County. So Gongsun Jian took the lead bravely and led people to kill in the direction of the north gate behind the county office.

After a while, they joined Ding Feng and others, and there were two or three thousand people on both sides, but the equipment was a little worse, and some of the strong men who came to help still had wooden sticks in their hands.

Seeing Gongsun Jian personally on the battle formation, Ding Feng and the others all came to the spirit, especially Wei Meng. As Gongsun Jian's personal guard, he hasn't let go of fighting like this for a long time. Like a vicious wolf rushing into a flock of sheep, he rushed to kill the army regardless of it. A pair of lances are waved as if they were killing gods, and someone will either be killed or injured under one move.

Ding Feng was not far behind, and the two short knives flew up and down, cutting people when they saw them. Ma Teng and Gongsun Jian stood on the periphery and shot each other continuously with the bows and crossbows in their hands.

But the number of the other party is really quite large, and they are all elite soldiers. Although Gongsun Jian's side has the advantage in numbers, not to mention the incomplete weapons, most of them are untrained Ding Zhuang. The momentum is okay, but it's still a lot worse when it really fights.

Seeing that the two sides were at a stalemate, Gongsun Jian knew that if this continued, his side might collapse at any time if it dragged on for too long. So he whistled, rushed up, took the small hammer-like 'grenade' from his waist, ignited it, and threw it at the place where there were many Vietnamese soldiers.

Inspired by Gongsun Jian, Ding Feng and Wei Meng also took off the 'grenade' hanging from their waists and lit it and threw it out. At this time, the Vietnamese army was completely stunned. Where have they ever seen anything like this? The momentum that was still struggling to resist was blown up at once. Many people were stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do next.

"Kill! Take back our very own Linshui County. Gongsun Jian took advantage of the situation and shouted, and everyone suddenly cheered up, surging up like a tide.

By this time, the battle had been clearly won, and the Vietnamese army no longer had the fighting spirit. The brains began to retreat, and when everyone was chasing and killing and almost reached the north gate, they heard a noisy sound outside. Then came the shouts of fighting and fighting.

"My lord, it's someone from the Cao family who is here." Ma Teng's eyes were sharp, and he quickly saw the group of people killed outside the north gate.

"The Cao family? Hahaha, they are smart and know when to choose and take sides. Gongsun Jian smiled and said, "Old Ma, go and lead people to block the two ends, don't let those routed troops run around the city and harm the people." ”

"Understood."

About half an hour later, the battle was almost over, and except for a small number of Vietnamese troops who were still stubbornly resisting, the others were either wiped out or had surrendered on their knees. At this time, Gongsun Jian also met the person in charge of the Cao family, Cao Liang, the third son of the old lady Cao.
