Now that it is an extraordinary period, it is even more important to make a decision immediately, which even Zhou Cang has realized, what is You Tie going back for? It is nothing more than to report to those nobles of the family and let them make arrangements as soon as possible, it is estimated that now Cai Gui and others have made careful arrangements, if the newly appointed county order is biased towards the side of the family, it will be tantamount to a devastating blow to Cao Xing.

However, after Cao Xuan heard this, he smiled, recalling the information for more than a month, Cao Xuan had already learned that Duan Ke would enter the county town for review during this period of time, anyway, the chance of Duan Ke returning to Bianyun County to continue to serve as the county magistrate was a little small, and Cao Xing made preparations at that time.

Coming to this world, Cao Xing also clearly saw the power of the family, it is really not to be underestimated, and it cannot be easily defeated unless it is in troubled times, but there is an existence in Bianyun County that is more terrifying than the family, that is Qin Ye.

As soon as Cao Xuan saw Qin Ye, he directly told Qin Ye his thoughts straight to the point, that is, he wanted to ask Qin Ye for help and put Cao Xuan in the position of the county commander, as long as Cao Xuan became the county commander of Bianyun County, everything would be easy to say at that time.

Although Cao Xuan still knows nothing about Qin Ye's identity now, he only knows that he is in Bianyun County, an existence that cannot be easily provoked, and he has Chunxiang Building in his hand as a place to collect intelligence, as for the other Cao Xing, he is not too clear, but in any case, Cao Xuan has been sitting in this county for a while, but Qin Ye still did not come to Cao Xuan to make any requests.

So Cao Xuan held the mentality of gambling and gave it a try to see if Qin Ye could get this matter done, Cao Xuan was afraid that Qin Ye would not agree, so he brought 50,000 yuan to Qin Ye at that time, but Qin Ye didn't even look at the money, so he directly pushed Cao Xuan back, and he directly said to Cao Xuan with a smile on his face, he had already arranged for Cao Xing.

Up to now, Cao Xuan has no choice but to push the boat down the river and take a step at a time, and now that Cai Gui and the others have acted, Cao Xuan can only ask Qin Ye again, what was his preparation at that time?

Cao Xuan directly took Zhou Cang Huo Ran and turned around, preparing to go north, because Qin Ye's residence was there, but when he had just come to a crossroads, Cao Xing's thoughts were interrupted, he suddenly raised his head, and found that there seemed to be something wrong around him, only to see that the faces of the surrounding people were all full of panic and panic.

Some people are carrying things, some are holding children, but without exception, they are all running quickly in the opposite direction.

Cao Xing didn't understand what was going on with these people, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong, he squatted down, gently touched the ground with his palm, and then looked at Zhou Cang.

I saw Zhou Cang nod firmly and said, "Lord, I also clearly feel that the earth is shaking!" ”

At this moment, Cao Xuan suddenly saw two fast horses in front of him, quickly approaching this side, and there were two people wearing officer and soldier uniforms on the horses, Cao Xuan glanced at him, Zhou Cang immediately took off the big knife on his back and blocked the middle of the road, and shouted, the two knights, seeing Zhou Cang blocking the road, had to pull the reins of the horse and forcibly stopped the horse.

The two knights saw that Zhou Cang actually dared to stand in the way, and just wanted to scold, but Cao Xuan appeared in front of the two of them, and shouted in a deep voice: "What is going on, so panicked!" ”

Now Cao Xing is in Bianyun County, and he can be regarded as a man of the year in any way, so even these soldiers know Cao Xing, they saw Cao Xing coming, and immediately became respectful, but they still couldn't hide the panic in their eyes, and one of the knights reported to Cao Xing: "Lord Cao, something is wrong, Xianbei has come to take captivity!" ”

Cao Xing's whole person was stunned, he grew up on the edge since he was a child, and now he has experienced several captives of the clan when he was young, but his luck is better, whenever the foreign tribe attacks, he will always run out of the city quickly, and when the foreign tribe disperses, his father is moving back with their family.

So in Cao Xing's impression, there is only a general impression of Xianbei's coming to plunder, and there is no deeper understanding, but this time is different from the past, and today's Cao Xing is not what it used to be.

Cao Xuan immediately went up and grabbed the arms of the two knights, looked at one of them and said: "Xianbei is coming from the north, you go and inform You Tie, let him lead the county soldiers, come to the north gate to defend with me, and guard the other three city gates, if Xianbei approaches, close the city gate immediately, there must be no mistake!" ”

"No!" The knight agreed, and then patted the horse's back, and the horse galloped quickly in the direction of the county office.

Then Cao Xuan looked at the other knight and said: "You go to my house immediately to inform Chen Hu Chewu, just say that it is me Cao Xuan, let them take their brothers to take their weapons and go to the North City Gate immediately, there must be no mistake!" ”

Although Cao Xing had no experience in fighting Xianbei before, he knew that the reason why these foreign tribes went south was not because they wanted to conquer cities, but because these foreign tribes lived on nomadism. They went south for only one purpose, that is, to grab money, food, and women.

Now Cao Xing is not only the county leader of Bianyun County, but also has countless foundations in Bianyun County, and he is inseparable from Bianyun County, so Cao Xuan must not look at his homeland and be ravaged. Cao Xuan didn't know when that guy really You Tie came over with soldiers, and now he had to make preparations with both hands, so he chose the person he trusted the most, which is why Cao Xuan asked people to inform Chen Hu and the others?

Watching the two knights rush away, Cao Xuan couldn't care so much, beckoned, and immediately took Zhou Cang to the north quickly, and soon came to the north city wall, the defenders on the city tower were about two hundred people, all gathered at the north city gate at this moment, seeing Cao Xuan coming, they all saluted him, but it can be seen that their demeanor is also very nervous.

Cao Xuan waved his hand, let them ignore him, just concentrate on defense, he also walked to the edge of the city wall, and looked around, a black dust fluttered in the distance, Cao Xuan visually measured that the cavalry was at least three miles away from here, but the sound of the cavalry stepping on the ground had caused the city wall to tremble slightly. What a force it takes to do this.

"Lord, I see that there are almost 10,000 people in Xianbei this time!" Looking at the black horizon, Zhou Cang made his voice, after all, Zhou Cang had been in the Yellow Turban Army, when the Yellow Turban Army was strong, don't say that 10,000 is tens of thousands, he has also seen hundreds of thousands, so he can still say his own analysis of this kind of battle.

However, when the defenders next to them heard this number, they were all frightened, 10,000 people, they only had more than 200 defenders here, of course, the defenders of Bianyun County could not only have such a little.

According to the standards of each county, the county lieutenant can have 200 mobile troops, and the 200 mobile troops are mainly responsible for law and order.

But on weekdays, there are still 400 troops defending on the city tower, and those 400 troops, who usually don't need to listen to anyone, can only be mobilized in times of crisis.

However, because Bianyun County is located in the frontier, it is relatively remote, and it can be regarded as an important border town, so there are naturally more people to defend it, and now there are almost more than 300 defenders in the east, west, south and north of the four city gates, and there are almost 300 defenders on it, and You Tie's mobile strength is almost 300 people, as for the last 300 people, they are still gathered in the school field at the moment, so the defensive strength of Bianyun County is almost more than 1,000 people.

But what makes everyone scared is here, 1,000 people but others have 10,000 people, the ratio of 1 to 10, how to fight?

Hearing this number, Cao Xing's heart was also a little panicked, although he had also killed people in battle, but the ones he killed were nothing more than some bandits, and at that time, the number of people on both sides was equal, so in the face of this situation of disparity, Cao Xing's heart was also panicked.

However, looking at the surrounding city tower defenders, especially those newly recruited soldiers, who may not have even killed anyone at this moment, and the hands holding bows and arrows are trembling obviously, Cao Xing knows that if this continues, the military spirit will definitely collapse, as long as the military heart collapses, this battle will not have to be fought, Xianbei can drive straight into the whole Bianyun County directly.

Cao Xuan roared angrily in his heart, and hit the city wall with a heavy punch, he kept telling himself in his heart that these Xianbei people came for only one purpose, that is, to make a mess of Bianyun County, but Bianyun County has become Cao Xing's home, and Cao Xing will never allow others to destroy his home. This is not only Cao Xing's personal dignity, but also the dignity of a man.

The surrounding defenders were startled by Cao Xing's roar, and they all looked at Cao Xing, and at the same time temporarily suppressed the fear in their hearts, Cao Xuan stretched out a hand and shouted: "Bring a bow!" ”

Immediately, a sergeant stepped forward and handed the longbow and arrows in his hand to Cao Xing, who practiced his bow and arrows, aiming at the Xianbei people who were still a thousand steps away.

The bow and arrow technology of the Han Dynasty is obviously not as developed as that of later generations, like the Tang Dynasty It is said that the bow and crossbow at that time can shoot up to 300 steps away, but the bow and crossbow range of the Han Dynasty should be about 150 steps, although the horses of Xianbei are extremely fast, and even in this era, it is no exaggeration to describe it as fleeting, but now there are still a full 800 steps away from the city wall.
