As the sun sets, the sun turns the whole land red.

Jingzhou City, south of the South Ji Gate, outside the city head of the city road.

At this time, Shang Jiabao, the general of the Jingzhou garrison, was standing on the female wall of this tower and looking out.

Human eyesight is limited after all, but Shang Jiabao can vaguely see the huge camp of the bandit army.

"This thief hasn't attacked the city for more than two days, what's going on? What are they planning? At this moment, under the rays of the setting sun, Shang Shanxi thought with worry on his face.

After yesterday's calm day, Shang Jiabao, who knew nothing about the enemy's movements, tried to send a group of men out of the city to harass the camp of the bandit army, but few of them could return.

"Ahem..."

A burst of coughing pulled Shang Jiabao, who was in deep thought, back to reality.

"General, please pay more attention to your body..."

"Yes, General, this thief has not attacked the city now. You can go back and rest first, and I will wait for the city gate to be guarded..."At this time, the generals behind Shang Jiabao persuaded each other.

Shang Jiabao shook his hand at them and replied: "Now that the anti-thief army is besieging the city, you just let me go back, and it will be difficult for me to rest, so it is better to stay here and rest in peace." ”

"General Gao Yi..."

"The General is really a model for me to emulate..."

The generals behind Shang Jiabao echoed for a while.

"Alright, guys. You say the thief hasn't moved for two days, what are they trying to do? ”

Shang Jiabao didn't talk much about other things with such a general, and asked directly. After all, if you really want to talk to them about those useless things, they can talk about it for a day and endlessly.

"In the past two days, the silence of the anti-thieves is really incomprehensible, if they either have any plans or they were scared by us a few days ago, and they are ready to besiege and trap us." Jingzhou City Garrison Liu Datong said.

"Liu Shoubei said this as if he didn't say it." Manchuria with white flag and leader Bal Tiger. Taifeng said with a look of disdain.

"Hey, this? I can't see through my humble position, and everything depends on the general. The general asked me to fight in the south, I will never fight in the north, let me go east, and I will never dare to go west. Liu Datong said with a smile on his face, without a trace of Bal Tiger on his face. Taifeng's disrespectful displeasure at him.

"Alright, Taifeng. What do you think? Shang Jiabao stretched out his hand and stopped Balhu who was still trying to continue talking. Taifeng asked.

Shang Jiabao's question, but it was Bal Tiger. Taifeng was stunned. What could he think about these wars? Let him come up with ideas to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, he may be able to say a hundred opinions, but in this case...

"This, the humble position is also based on the general's horse, and I will do whatever the general says." Bal Tiger. Taifeng smiled embarrassedly and said while kneeling in front of Shang Jiabao.

At this time, the other generals around Shang Jiabao heard that Balhu. When Taifeng said this, his face showed ridicule. On the contrary, Liu Datong, who had just been ridiculed by Taifeng, stood there as if he was fine.

"Liu Shoubei, don't take it to heart if you just received it from Tai." Shang Jiabao said after looking at Liu Datong.

"This is natural, and it should not be reminded by the general. The humble position knows that the Thai staff is also concerned about the battle situation. Liu Datong replied respectfully.

"Hmm..."Shang Jiabao was very satisfied with Liu Datong's attitude.

If it weren't for the fact that this group of anti-thieves besieged the city and needed the help of these green battalion soldiers to defend the city, in normal times, Shang Jiabao would definitely not look at this small green battalion garrison.

"Ahem..."

Shang Jiabao coughed again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what the thieves have in their schemes, we just need to guard this wall with our hearts. As the so-called soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth. You can also rest assured, General Ben has also sent people to Fu Hengna, the first rank of General Pingnan, to ask for help, and it won't be long before General Pingnan will send troops to relieve the siege for us. Shang Jiabao comforted the people around him.

Since ancient times, those who defend the city are most afraid of defending the helpless city, which will surely be the place of death. Now Shang Jiabao threw out such words in order to give hope to the soldiers defending the city.

"What the general said is very true, we should serve our lives with our lives and serve the country with our bodies..."The generals at the head of the city said one after another.

As time passed, darkness came. The generals of the Qing army gathered at the head of Nanjimen City also returned to their defense areas one after another.

The generals gathered together and discussed for a long time, but they still couldn't figure out why the bandit army did not attack the city. Most of them agree that the bandit army outside the city wants to besiege the city and trap them.

This Jingzhou city is always easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is not something that these thieves who have just rebelled can understand and have the strength to take. Even the soldiers and horses of the imperial court may not be able to capture Jingzhou City under such a perfect city wall, let alone a rebel on a whim.

Since learning that Shang Jiabao had sent people to ask for help, the defenders in the city were all confident in defending the city. This is a request for help from a first-class official, and the imperial court will never sit idly by, and the siege of Jingzhou City will be solved just around the corner.

As for why the thieves outside the city have not attacked the city in the past few days, what are they planning? In the eyes of the Qing army defending the city, this no more speculation was needed.

After all, the longer they delayed, the more beneficial it would be for themselves and others to defend the city. As long as you wait for others to guard the city and pay more attention, can this wall still collapse by itself?

Jingzhou City, west of Anlan Gate, in the dark room of the tower.

"Lord Garrison, the men and horses over there have been contacted." In the dark room, a cronie next to Liu Datong said to him.

"How? How do you respond? Liu Datong's voice deepened, and he asked a little hurriedly.

"I said that I can only guarantee that you have a lot of property in Jingzhou City, and all the brothers who follow are safe and sound. As for the official position, it needs to be selected according to the criteria on his side, and he can't give you an accurate answer. The cronie replied.

"What? Are they confident that they can take this Jingzhou city without my surrender? Hearing that Liu Datong, who could not be given at least the original position of official residence, asked in disbelief.

"That's what they mean. They asked me to come and reply to you, if you want to surrender, they will surrender tomorrow before they attack the city, otherwise once they attack Jingzhou City, it will be greatly discounted if they want to surrender again. The cronie replied, a little unnatural in his tone.

"It's just a bunch of anti-thieves, and they dare to be so rampant. Even the soldiers and horses of the imperial court didn't dare to make such a big statement, when Jingzhou City was made of tofu? I see, if tomorrow they hit a wall again, we will not have to surrender. ”

Although Liu Datong said angrily, he still had no confidence in Shang Jiabao's request for help to relieve the siege.

So, after he was angry, he asked his cronies who were standing there upright:

"You say, can the bandit army outside the city take down this Jingzhou City?"
