"Hah!" Xu Zizhen also smiled, "Shame on Taiyuan? Isn't that sticky and undrunk? ”

"Exactly."

Zhao Gou suddenly became solemn: "Brother Xian, although you are a defeated soldier under you, the person who knows you best is often not a friend but an enemy, and I am afraid that he is fully prepared." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xu Zizhen, Xu Zizhen was a good person, and he couldn't guess what Zhao Gou was thinking, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Seventh Master, the battlefield is changing rapidly, how can there be anything perfect." ”

"What about you...... What are you prepared for? ”

A strange smile appeared on Xu Zizhen's face: "Ready? I just found out today that he was coming, so how could I prepare? ”

Suddenly, someone rushed from under the city and shouted in panic: "Report! The Jin army is coming in three ways! ”

Although he had already foreseen the result, Zhao Gou was still shocked and asked urgently: "Has the entire Jin army moved?" ”

"Back to the official's house, exactly!"

The news came from the observation ball, so high and the telescope would never be wrong, Zhao Gou's face suddenly turned pale, and he decided to stay and defend it, but he still couldn't stand the fear in his heart.

Xu Zizhen sighed secretly, Zhao Gou is really still the same Zhao Gou, even if what he does today is different from history, it is still impossible for his nature to change, but since he has decided to stay, it can be regarded as progress, and since this is not in vain, he will not be determined to help him.

"Seventh Master steady, it's useless to say anything now, the 100,000 Jin Army is nothing, our city has a population of hundreds of thousands, as long as there is no shortage of hands and feet, they can come to help."

Zhao Gou came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, as long as you hold on for a few days, when my reinforcements come to copy their back road, the Jin people will naturally retreat." He paused and then shouted, "Someone, pass on my orders, the whole city is on guard, and do your best to resist the enemy!" ”

"Yes!"

With Zhao Gou's order, everyone in the city and the city was suddenly busy, from the time the news came, the city had already prepared a lot of materials to defend the city, and at this time, the whole city took action, arrows * rolling stones and wood were transported up like water, and a huge iron pot was erected on the city, and the sergeants carried the barrel to pour oil into the pot.

Xu Zizhen stood at the edge of the battlement and looked outside the city, only to see a cloud of smoke and dust billowing at the junction of the northern sky and the ground, it was a 100,000 army that had not been drunk, although it was still far away from the city gate, but it could already feel the sound of neat and low hooves and footsteps.

He thought about it for a moment and asked, "Seventh Master, how many days will it take for the reinforcements you summoned to arrive?" ”

Zhao Gou looked straight out of the city, his anxiety overflowing, and replied casually: "Three to five days." ”

Xu Zizhen nodded, had a number in his heart, and then said: "In this case, I want to ask you for a temporary mission, can those boys from Yingtian Academy let me be in charge for the time being?" ”

Zhao Gou's gaze was retracted, he glanced at him, and suddenly smiled: "You are their envoy of the classics, where can you come from temporary." ”

This sentence easily erased Xu Zizhen's previous resignation, which means that from now on, he will be the head of the thousands of civil and military students.

Chief Instructor, this is the title that those students spontaneously gave him, even if it was the former Shang Tong, or the current head who replaced Shang Tong, even the dean Jiang Ji and the master Gu Yi, no one could compare to Xu Zizhen's weight in their hearts.

"Xie Guan's family!" When it came to business, Xu Zizhen also made a formal salute, and then walked quickly down the city wall, where there were many martial artists waiting for him with their necks stretched.

"Martial arts listen to the order, all assemble!"

"Yes, Mr. Xu!"

A loud and excited answer sounded from all around, and then one by one figures gathered here, it was none other than those martial arts in Yingtian Academy.

"High Pet Bao'er!" Xu Zizhen beckoned two small ones, and whispered a few words of something, and then saw the two small ones retreat in response, with excitement and excitement on their little faces, the city gate opened, revealing a gap, and the two horses rushed out of the city and galloped away in two directions.

At this time, several more people came, but it was Shang Tong and Master Yu Shen who were supposed to be drinking at Xu Zizhen's house, Xu Zizhen pointed with his hand: "Master Lao Shang, return to the team!" ”

"Yes!"

Master Yushen and Shang Tong agreed loudly and came to the front of the martial arts team, which immediately caused them to cheer.

The two of them are extremely skilled, they are the head of the martial arts, during the time when Xu Zizhen disappeared, Zhao Gou removed them and replaced them with a henchman of his own, but the martial artists did not buy it, these days have been perfunctory, and today they finally changed back to the two of them to be the head of the sect, and the thunderous cheers of the martial artists speak for themselves.

The new head of the sect smiled bitterly and returned to Zhao Gou's side, he is a smart person, of course he will not show a little dissatisfaction at this time, it is the wisest choice to retreat obediently, and besides, these days the martial arts are not happy, and his life is not necessarily very good, eight hundred rebellious bear children, it is not so easy to subdue.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the city, Xu Zizhen frowned, and asked Shang Tongyu Shen to wait with the group of boys first, and then go back to the city.

As soon as he came up, he knew why there was a commotion just now, because on the plain to the north, a cavalry in Xuanyi and Xuanjia was slowly coming with uniform steps, this cavalry was wearing almost completely closed iron armor from men to horses, and even the horse's eyes were covered with iron sheets.

And behind the Tiefutu phalanx, there are more than 100 carts, loaded with thick wood, I don't know what it is for.

Xu Zizhen stood beside Zhao Gou and said puzzledly: "Why are Jin Ren transporting so much wood?" Will you set us on fire? ”

There was a sneer behind him, but when he turned to look at Gao Pujun, Xu Zizhen was embarrassed, knowing that he didn't know it again, so he hurriedly laughed and flattered: "Lady, I don't know what those pieces of wood are for, can you tell me?" ”

Gao Pujun couldn't help but blush a little when he called a lady in front of so many people, but the enemy was now, and he didn't have time to worry about him anymore.

"Those timbers are of similar length, and there are longer giant logs behind them, if I guess correctly, the Jin people are going to build arrow towers and catapults near the city gates."

Xu Zizhen was stunned for a moment, of course he had seen the catapult, he had seen the super-sized catapult of Qian Size as early as in Lanzhou, and he had seen their style so many times with the Jinren, but he had really never seen this kind of ride on the spot.

Gao Pujun seemed to guess his thoughts, and the next sentence solved his confusion: "Sticky and drunk because I was scared by your strange soldiers, I am afraid that I will ask you to dismantle it before I stabilize my position, haven't you seen that team of Iron Floating Slaughter?" In order to protect the wood from being torn down by you. ”

Her words were easy and funny, but no one could laugh, and Zhao Gou frowned even more, and said: "If you are taken out of the arrow tower catapult by the golden people, then ...... So how do you break it? ”

"Sneer......" Xu Zizhen smiled and called a sergeant casually, "Brother, run errands, and call all the staff of the Department of Science and Engineering of Yingtian Academy to gather here." ”

"Yes, Mr. Xu!" The sergeant was named by Xu Zizhen, and immediately felt extremely honored, and quickly ran down the city towards the academy.

"Come on, be happy, there's a lot of time to ...... anyway" Xu Zizhen leaned lazily against the edge of the arrow stack, humming in his mouth.
