As soon as the words fell, the dark shadows under the city walls suddenly moved, and the soldiers' voices seemed to give them an order—an order to attack the city.

"Archers! Archer! The commander of the city roared, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, if it weren't for the rocket, these dogs might have climbed the wall, "Fuck, these people...... Where the hell did it come from? ”

"Command again! Inform the county guard and the garrison camp! There is an enemy army attacking the city! Please come and support now! The general roared as he reached out to wipe the beads of sweat off his forehead, he almost wanted to divide himself into several people, but before he could breathe, he turned his head and yelled again, "Set up the oil pot!" Light the fire, add firewood! ”

"The people over there! Bring the rocks and logs over here! Be quick! ”

As he spoke, the men under the city wall had already approached the city wall again, and the bows and arrows that they kept shooting were like mud oxen entering the sea, which could not stop the speed of those people's progress in the slightest.

"! Hurry, hurry, hurry! "The generals kept urging, these soldiers are used to being casual on weekdays, why are they still so slow in today's situation?

Several soldiers worked together to carry a huge log, they bit their lip, struggled to carry the log, and after a long time of neglecting exercise, some of them even grew fat, and today's encounter exposed all their previous defects.

"They're going to attack the city!" A soldier roared.

Immediately after, there were several "snapping" sounds, which were the sound of siege ladders on the city walls.

"! Damn it! Damn it! The general roared angrily, turned around and kicked away the person who was carrying the rolling log, got under the rolling log himself, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Give Lao Tzu more strength!" ”

"One, two! Rise! ”

The rolling wood finally came to the edge of the city wall, and the general directly asked everyone to smash the rolling wood down, wanting to temporarily delay the momentum of those sieges.

The rolling log fell, those rebel soldiers who had climbed to the middle were hit by the rolling log, and then fell screaming, and then brought down a piece of their companions, the higher they climbed, the worse they fell, some people smashed the whole person on the ground, did not die, there was still a breath, but this situation on the battlefield, it is the worst situation, if it is good to die, if it is not dead, you have to watch the companions around you fall one by one, dragging a pair of crippled bodies, running and running, you can only watch death approaching little by little, waiting for an arrow in the sky to fall, and take your own life.

Those who climbed a little shorter, but it was fine, and after falling to the ground, they patted off the dust on their bodies, got up and continued to climb up.

"Fire oil! Kerosene! Is the oil ready?! The general couldn't help but look back and yell, he was holding a bow in his hand, and the bow and arrows in the quiver had long been shot out.

"That's it!" The soldier in charge of the oil shouted in reply.

"Pour! Pour! Pour! ”

The fire oil slanted down, and the rebel soldiers who were besieging the city were covered with the oil, and the hot oil almost burned their bare skin, and they jumped off the ladder screaming, and rolled on the ground desperately, but this only made their pain clearer.

The general looked coldly at the ladder lowering, he grabbed the arrow, lit it on the bonfire, and sent the small spark to the puddle of fire oil.

Flames rose into the sky, and as far as the eye could see, they became a sea of fire.

"Let's

You dogs, smell the smell of human flesh. The general said viciously.

......

......

At the same time, the county guard.

The county guard has been dealing with the official documents for a day today, and he is already tired, so he went to bed early, and at this moment the county guard's mansion is extremely quiet, and only a few insect chirps can be faintly heard. The two men of the night vigil leaned against the doorpost, already drowsy, nodding like chickens pecking rice, and one of them smashed the bar and smashed the mouth, as if he had completely fallen asleep.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Three rough knocks on the door forced him out of his sleep, and he tried his best to open his hazy sleepy eyes, stood up straight, and asked angrily, "Who?" It's so late, don't you know who our lord is? ”

The other servant also woke up, and he cursed in a low voice, and also said loudly to the people outside the door, "That's it!" disturbed our lord's rest, made our lord lively, and made you unable to eat and walk! ”

There was no sound outside the door suddenly, and the two servants looked at each other and smiled, thinking that the person was probably scared and ran away, so they planned to squint their eyes and sleep again, but as soon as they closed their eyes, a voice came from outside the door again, the voice was cold, with a trace of inviolable majesty, "The herald in the west of the city, Xu Li, is ordered by the garrison commander to come and pass the message." ”

"In the west of the city, it was besieged by an unknown group of thieves, and I came to report to the county guard."

The faces of the two family members changed, and they opened the door without thinking, and immediately welcomed Xu Li in, they looked at Xu Li with a smile on their faces, and said, "The adults are really sorry, the small one will lead you to the living room, and our master will come later." ”

As he spoke, the servant glanced at his companion and told him to wake up the county guard first, and he immediately understood, and trotted in the direction of the county guard's room.

The servant led Xu Li into the living room, poured him a cup of cold tea first, and said, "The adults will go to boil the water immediately, and our lord should be coming over soon." ”

"The situation is urgent! Please hurry up! Xu Li pinched the cold teacup, but still couldn't help urging.

"Yes, yes, please wait a minute." The servant laughed and exited the parlour.

On the other side, another servant crept to the door of the county guard's house, knocked lightly, and the voice was as small as a mosquito humming, "Master! The heralds of the garrison in the west of the city are here! Please also ask the master to change his clothes! ”

There was no movement in the room, so he had to be bold and repeat what he had just said.

Still no movement.

This time he had no choice but to bite the bullet, bang on the door vigorously, and then shout in the loudest voice, "Master! There is a problem with the garrison in the west of the city, and 100,000 are in a hurry! The herald is waiting in the meeting room, and he asks the master to change his clothes! Get on top of business! ”

The county guard woke up from his sleep at this time, he sat up, shook his groggy head, and asked angrily, "What did you just say?" ”

The servant had no choice but to repeat what he had just said again, and when the county guard heard this, his face changed suddenly, he didn't even bother to change his clothes, he just hastily put on a coat and went out, "Where is the herald?" Take me there! ”

"The living room." The servant said yes and quickly trotted

Leading the way in front, the county guard quickly followed him, and as he went, he arranged his clothes.

Xu Li was actually thirsty, he raised the teacup, and just about to drink it, he saw the servant walking into the living room with the county guard, so he had to turn the teacup in the direction, half kneeling on the ground, and said, "Report to the county guard, just now, a group of thieves suddenly began to besiege the west gate, it was too dark, I couldn't tell how many people there were, but ...... Their number could never be less than three thousand. ”

Three thousand? Hearing this number, the county guard's hanging heart immediately relaxed, he sat in the middle of the meeting room, stroked his beard with a smile, and said, "Three thousand people, there are three thousand defenders in my city, and there are six thousand men and horses one mile outside the south gate, but three thousand thieves, not enough to worry about!" ”

"I hope so," Xu Li half-knelt on the ground, "but the general also said that these three thousand are just a preliminary estimate, and it is not easy to judge how much it is." ”

"It's all right," said the county guard, waving his hand, "get up first, drink saliva, and run all the way, you should be thirsty too, drink saliva and then go back to your life." ”

"Lord Xie Junshou!" Xu Li said, he just stood up and was about to raise the teacup, but there was a voice outside the door.

"Report! According to the legend of the garrison in the east of the city, the east of the city was attacked by an unknown group of thieves, and now it is in a bitter battle, and the county guard is also asked to send troops to support the east of the city! ”

The county guard was stunned for a moment, his face was a little ugly, he waved his hand, motioned to the servant to welcome the herald in, the servant nodded, and immediately went out, and after a while, he brought back a herald, the county guard lowered his head, looked at the herald who was half-kneeling on the ground, and asked, "How many enemy troops are there in the west of the city?" ”

"The most conservative estimate, three thousand." The herald replied immediately.

Xu Li frowned, was even the west of the city attacked? He glanced at the tea on the table again, then pursed his chapped lips, quietly picked up the cold cup of tea, and was about to drink it quietly, when a voice came from outside the door again.

"Report! The north of the city is guarded, and the north of the city is suddenly attacked by an unknown number of thieves, hoping that the county guard will send troops to support! ”

Hearing this, the county guard's face turned a little pale, he opened his mouth, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Is the number unknown?" It seems that the gang of thieves who came to attack me will not be less than 10,000 people, and they actually launched an attack from three sides at the same time. ”

"Report!" Outside the door, another voice sounded, "The south of the city is attacked by rogues......"

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw many colleagues, he was stunned at first, and then half-knelt down, and was about to speak, but the county guard suddenly spoke first, "In addition to the thieves attacking the city, what other accidents are there at the south gate?" ”

"Yes...... Some. The herald bowed his head.

"Then let's talk about it." The county guard sighed faintly.

"The camp outside the city, lit up with a sky-high fire, and there are a large number of thieves, has surrounded the camp side, the south of the city garrison general Zhao Xiang suggested that the county guard immediately bring the garrison in the city, except for the defenders of the city, go to the camp outside the city at full speed, in order to relieve the siege of the camp, otherwise if all the soldiers outside the city are killed, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Hearing this, the county guard suddenly collapsed weakly on the chair, he didn't care about anything else, and muttered in a low voice, "How many people are there in this group of thieves?" ”
