Ordinary people, naturally, can't go up to the city wall casually, but Xu Xuan was in this Suzhou city for free medicine to save people, and he can be regarded as half a celebrity, the soldiers guarding the steps of the city wall, looked at Xu Xuan and them, but they didn't intercept them, Wu Renjie and Xu Xuan came to the city wall.

The noise outside the city made Xu Xuan come back to his senses, he looked over, and saw a black line in the distance outside the city rapidly towards Suzhou City, and in front of him were hundreds of people who had escaped from the city, crying and stumbling and running.

Wu Renjie was a little flustered lying on the mouth of the city wall, looking out, he was really a little scared now, according to the time, his own lady was afraid that she had already left the city, if she met those Tartars...... Wu Renjie didn't dare to think about it, so he could only look down on the city wall, hoping that he could find his own lady in this panicked crowd.

As the crowd got closer and closer, Xu Xuan could already clearly see the panicked expressions on the faces of the people who were struggling to run back, as well as the sweat-soaked clothes, which were covered by the dust that covered the sky and the sun, and turned gray faces.

"Open the door, open the city gate, hurry up and let us in!" The people, who had run to the city gate first, shouted at the soldiers at the city gate.

The soldiers on the city wall glanced down and looked at the officers beside them with some embarrassment.

The people below looked at the people above and kept silent, looked at the Tartars who were getting closer and closer behind them, and shouted in horror, "The Tartars are coming, let us in!" ”

There are even women who cry at the top, "Big brother, please open the city gate." Let us in, if the Tartars come, there will be no good end for so many sisters outside the city! ”

There was an old man who was familiar with the soldiers on the city wall, and shouted angrily at the city, "Dog baby! Who do you see who I am? Are you going to watch us being killed by this tartar? ”

The soldiers were a little flustered.

Wu Renjie looked at the chaotic people below, he was a little unbearable, looked at the officer holding the handle of the knife next to him, and asked in a low voice, "General, these are the villagers of our Suzhou City, can't you open the city gate and let them in?" ”

The general didn't answer, and after a while, he turned his head and looked at Wu Renjie coldly, "Doctor Wu, the army has its own rules in the army, you still don't have to ask, now the Tartar is coming over, the sword has no eyes, you and Doctor Xu should go down first"

Wu Renjie was so blocked by this officer's words that he couldn't speak. Just as he was feeling angry, the officer suddenly sighed, "If I could, why didn't I want to talk about them letting them in?" I'm afraid that if these people take advantage of this opportunity to open the city gate, then Suzhou City will really be finished! I can't joke with the lives of more than 100,000 people in Suzhou for the sake of these hundreds of people! ”

Wu Renjie and Xu Xuan were silent, yes, if this crowd is mixed with Tartar spies, I am afraid that this city gate will not be able to be guarded, because Suzhou City is different from the northern city, there has been no war in recent decades, although the city wall is high, but it has been in disrepair for a long time, although the city gate is large, but there is no urn city at all. The city gate was broken, and the Tartars really took Suzhou.

The Tartars in the distance, looking at the more and more people at the gate of Suzhou, the first few knights raised the scimitars in their hands, and the Tartars who followed them also raised their scimitars.

Looking at the movements of the Tartars in the distance, Xu Xuan frowned, these Tartars are uneasy and kind, they are waiting for the people to crowd the city gate, they are riding horses, if the soldiers in the city open the door to let the people in, they will take advantage of the chaos to attack the city gate, but if they are the generals in the city, they will not let these people in. These Tartars, who have been accustomed to attacking cities across Europe and Asia, also have more methods, such as arresting these people, waiting to be used as meat shields during the siege, or shooting these people one by one with bows and arrows without killing them all, but just keep sneaking attacks, so that the soldiers in the city can not help, and watch the people outside the city freeze and starve to death......

At this time, the generals defending the city have fallen into a dilemma, and they are afraid that there is a risk of breaking the city if they save people, and if they don't save people, they are afraid that the soldiers in the city will be completely lost.

However, seeing these people being tortured and killed by the Tartars one by one, Xu Xuan was also a little unbearable in his heart, knowing that it was impossible, but he still arched his hand to the general and said, "General, take a step to speak"

The general glanced at Xu Xuan, and then at the tartar that had stopped in the distance, nodded, and Xu Xuan came to the corner on the side, and said impatiently, "Doctor Xu, what do you have to say, but let's talk ugly in front, if you still want to persuade me to open the city gate, Doctor Xu don't have to say anything." ”

Xu Xuan looked at the appearance of the general, shook his head and sighed, "Actually, the commander is afraid that it is not easy in his heart, right?" ”

The general's eyes froze, and Xu Xuan hurriedly said without waiting for the general to refute, "General, you are thinking about the overall situation, Xu Xuan should not put his beak, but the general's move is risky, if these people die in front of the city, Suzhou City is not defended, you and I will die in this city, but no matter whether this city is broken by the Tartars, has the general ever thought about today's matter, will no one write to the court afterwards to investigate the responsibility of the general who does not save him when he sees death?" ”

Xu Xuan's words made the general's pupils shrink, but he still snorted coldly, "So what?" I'm thinking about Suzhou City here, Lord Chen is fair and strict, and he must have said a fair word to me, and the officials will also understand my hard work! ”

Xu Xuan listened to the general's words, but he shook his head and was quite worried about the general's emotional intelligence: "General, officialdom has always been an undercurrent, and most of the people who escaped from the city today are rich and noble people in the city, and there may be relatives of the court officials among these people, do you think these people will give up?" ”

"But, I'm here to defend Suzhou City!" The general was forced into a corner by the fact that Xu Xuan posed, and couldn't help but pull his neck to refute,

Xu Xuan glanced at the Tartars who were still waiting quietly in the distance, Xu Xuan knew that these Tartars must be brewing some conspiracy, maybe among the people below, there were really Tartars' spies, but at the moment he really couldn't bear to let so many people, because of this possibility, all die here. Xu Xuan continued, "My lord, there is an idea below, and my lord can save the lives of these people, and prevent these people from mixing in to cause trouble!" ”

The general's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What way?" Speak it up and listen to it! ”

Xu Xuan let out a sigh, this matter is half done! cheered up and hurriedly said, "My lord, these people don't go into the city at once, put them in pieces, every time they come in, they can just be controlled by our soldiers, I remember the Yong'an Fang by the city gate, the construction is the most strong, let the people lock the door, drive all these people in, and then let the people in it identify, there must be five people in the city to identify, let them leave, let the archers monitor the whole process, if there are people who resist, do not identify, all shoot!" ”

Hearing Xu Xuan's words, the general looked at the Tartars in the distance, and couldn't help frowning, "Doctor Xu's method is good, but those Tartars will look at us so honestly to save people?" ”
