Chapter 598: Wuxia Pass
A few days later, Wuxia Pass.
To the left of this pass, there are two counties of Huandi, and on the right, it is also Huandi, so it is an inner pass, and there are no troops stationed there, and Huan Guo has not noticed this place at all.
But here is the only way for the nations to reach the center of Huandi.
Normally, there are some business trips to and from Wuxia Pass, but now, because of the ghost clan, where are there any merchants who dare to enter Huandi.
The dilapidated one-sided city gate stands there, guarding the official road, not a single pedestrian is seen, and it looks desolate.
However, in Pinggu County, Kannai, there is a huge turmoil.
"The ghost army is coming! The ghost army is coming."
"Run"
There was a great chaos in the city, and the people screamed in terror, some returned to their homes and closed their doors and windows, and some fled like headless flies.
On the streets, vegetables and other things were scattered all over the ground, and it was a mess.
Shi Wenzhong, the commander of Pinggu County, hurried to the city gate with several county government officers and soldiers, and along the way, seeing the chaos in the city, he couldn't help but shout in a trembling voice: "This, this, how can the ghost army kill Pinggu......
"My lord, my country's central army is all assembled in the rear, and on the Pinggu side, there are no troops to support at all, how can this be good." Some officers and soldiers reminded.
This also needs to be said, how could Shi Wenzhong not know that in his opinion, the ghost army should attack directly in the direction of Huandu, and should not turn to the Western Front.
Just yesterday, he also instructed the mansion to pack up and be ready to flee for his life at any time, but he didn't expect that before he could get ready, overnight, the ghost army had already arrived in the city.
At this time, the army is besieging the city, and not a single fly can fly, let alone people!
He walked more quickly, and soon came to the head of the city, leaned over and looked down, and saw that there were all ghost soldiers, which could be described as a series of heaven and earth, and there was no end in sight.
Seeing this scene, Shi Wenzhong immediately swallowed his saliva, stammered and couldn't speak: "This, this ......"
At this moment, a ghost army general rode up, pulled the reins under the city, raised his sword and shouted:
"Listen, people of the city! Let you open the gates of the city immediately! Welcome me in! Otherwise, when the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”
He said the ghost language, and Shi Wenzhong couldn't understand it at all, so he couldn't help leaning over, and asked loudly with courage: "General, what does the general mean?"
"Huh!?" The ghost general didn't seem to hear it, and his brows were furrowed, but soon, someone else rode over and said in a blunt Central Plains dialect: "Let you open the city!" Otherwise we're going to attack the city! ”
"Don't siege the city! Don't siege the city! When Shi Wenzhong heard this, he immediately panicked, and waved his hand again and again: "I'll open the city gate for you, please wait a while!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately said urgently to an officer and soldier beside him: "Don't go quickly!" ”
"Yes, yes." The officers and soldiers were also a little panicked, and they didn't say anything to resist at all.
Because the ghost army is overwhelming, there are too many! And Pinggu, there is no army to defend, if he really wants to attack the city, Shi Wenzhong will only have one end.
He is not a person with a very backbone, so let him die like this, how would he be willing.
Under the siege of the city, the surrender of Pinggu County, there was no suspense at all, and after a while, the city gate opened, and Shi Wenzhong was dressed in a county order uniform, leading several officers and soldiers, and personally greeted him.
However, out of fear of the ghost army, he didn't dare to step forward too much, but stood a few steps away from the ghost army, and then bent over, with a smile on his face: "I don't know if the general has arrived, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome, the general please rest assured, Pinggu County, there is no intention of resisting, and I am willing to live in peace with the general......"
Although the ghost general couldn't understand his words, he could understand the general meaning when he saw his appearance, but he still raised the scimitar in his hand.
Seeing this, Shi Wenzhong subconsciously exclaimed, retreated a few steps, and the faces of several officers and soldiers behind him also changed greatly.
"Stop!" Fortunately, at this time, Urcha behind him led the troops to the city gate.
After drinking the ghost general, he also looked at Shi Wenzhong and asked in the Central Plains dialect: "You are the county magistrate here?" ”
"Yes...... Yes......" Shi Wenzhong stammered, and before he could lift the sleeves of his official uniform, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
If this was before, the ghost army would have killed Pinggu County Commander a long time ago and went directly to slaughter the city, but since the ghost king came, he has changed his strategy.
Urcha looked at him again in an official uniform, nodded and said: "Very good, don't worry, if you are willing to surrender, we will definitely not kill you, not only that, but whoever is willing to cooperate with us, we will treat him as a friend and give him preferential treatment." ”
"Huh? True...... Are you sure? Shi Wenzhong didn't react a little.
"Of course!" Urcha said: "In Pinggu, you will be more comfortable than when you were a county magistrate before!" ”
Hearing this, Shi Wenzhong's heart finally fell, and then he said again and again: "Thank you general, thank you general!" ”
"Then the county will let the lord lead the way." Urcha rode on the war horse road.
"Yes, yes, General, please come into the city."
Shi Wenzhong stretched out his hand sideways, bent over with a shy smile, his appearance was humble, like a pug, like a traitor during the Japanese period.
"Into town! With a wave of his hand, Urcha began to lead a large number of ghost troops and poured into Pinggu County unhurriedly.
Subsequently, he ordered the soldiers to set up a defense at the city gate.
At this time, the streets of the entire county were already empty, and the mess was still there.
Looking at this, Urcha did not have any surprises, or rather, these were all expected by him.
On the way to the county government following Shi Wenzhong, the ghost army general couldn't help but smash the horse's belly lightly and came to Urcha's side: "General, why be so polite to a county order, and kill him directly." ”
"You know what!?" Urcha glared at him: "This is the king's order, although we can occupy the land of the Central Plains, but we can't rule them, let their officials, rule their people, and we rule their officials, don't you understand!?" ”
"Yes! Or His Majesty the King is wise! The ghost general hurriedly bowed his head.
This is the latest invasion plan formulated by the Ghost King, which includes the entire occupation and deployment of Huandi in the future.
And their chat, Shi Wenzhong couldn't understand, and along the way, he also accompanied the smiling face from time to time, nodding his head.
After coming to the county government, inside and outside here, it was fully defended by the ghost army for the first time, and then, Urcha sat directly above in the hall of the county government.
Looking at Shi Wenzhong, who was standing respectfully below, he first chuckled, and then said: "Lord County Commander, how many people are there in Pinggu County?" ”
Shi Wenzhong didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly returned: "Including various towns and villages, the total population of the county is about 120,000. ”
"Yes." Urcha nodded, and then asked, "What about a woman who is fourteen years old and thirty years old?" How many? ”
"This ...... No statistics have been counted. Shi Wenzhong said, and also secretly glanced at Urcha's face.
