Chapter 60: The "Fierce Battle" in the County

In the county seat, the thieves are attacking the city, or should it be said that they are shouting and releasing arrows.

The thieves gave a letter of persuasion to shoot at noon, and by the time they had lunched, an hour had already passed, and there was no movement in the county.

Originally, the thieves just wanted to scare the city, and if they could earn a county seat, it would be beautiful. They heard that the Qing soldiers did this, and in ordinary small counties, they only needed to shout a few times under the city to make the defenders surrender.

But after all, they are not Qing soldiers, and their prestige has not yet reached the level of fear. Moreover, the city wall of Qixian County was newly repaired, all covered with bricks, which also strengthened the confidence of the defenders.

The thieves did not leave, but chose to attack the city because they knew that there was an internal response in the city. As soon as they began to besiege the city, they should look for an opportunity to cause chaos and open the gates, and they would be able to enter the city as well. This is the way of the thieves, they are originally homeless, and it is not difficult to infiltrate the county.

But what they didn't know was that there should only be six people in the county. Moreover, Su County ordered the timid, sent out the officials who could be sent out, and the people were all sent out, and all the displaced people were gathered in the City God Temple, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. The three who created chaos in Neiying were chased by the county magistrate and the wealthy family at the first time, and finally all of them were arrested and put in prison.

The remaining three were taken to the City God Temple. In the face of dozens of guards, they did not dare to make any changes. And the displaced people who gathered with them were all hungry and had no strength to move, and the only thought they had to live was a bowl of gruel sent by the county government at noon. The inner responders quietly agitated, but no one responded at all, perhaps without the strength to respond.

Outside the city, the thieves were clamoring, and from time to time they would shoot a few feathered arrows at the city. The thieves only attacked the West Gate, and the other three places were guarded outside, preventing the people in the county town from asking for help everywhere.

On the head of the city of Xicheng.

"Keep your heads down and walk close to the women's wall." A military academy loudly reminded the people who came up to help. Just now, five people were shot and killed, so the military academy reminded these guys who didn't know anything.

"Come here!" Yang Chengshou suddenly patted the military academy on the shoulder and shouted.

When the two of them came to the city gate, Yang Chengshou said unhappily: "You think you are the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva?!" Remind them what to do?! ”

"General, I don't understand what you mean." The military academy whispered for advice.

Yang Chengshou hated iron and scolded: "You are a fool!" If there are no casualties, how can you repay the credit? Just let our brothers be careful, and the rest of us don't care! Fight to the death, repel the robbers, and try to protect the county seat, this is the credit! If it was a group of straw bales that were repulsed, and there were not even a few casualties, would that still be a credit? I'm afraid we will also be punished for our failure to suppress bandits! Do you understand?! ”

The military academy nodded again and again, and said, "I understand, my subordinates understand." ”

After Yang Chengshou finished teaching his subordinates, he went to inspect again. Although he didn't care about the life or death of the people, he didn't dare to really let the thieves attack the city, in that case, he really couldn't hold it. And what Su County Commander said is right, the official army is returning to the original place, these thieves are running out of good days, if the county really falls, then he can really only apologize with death.

As soon as he reached the southern wall, he smelled a foul smell. He covered his nose and shouted, "He's @mom@! Who told you to boil the golden juice?! ”

A few people bowed and replied: "The county magistrate will use whatever method he says, and he must guard the city." The tutor of Hou Yuanwai's house said that boiling dung and pouring it on it would poison the thieves and rot to death. We think this method is good, although the taste is not good, but it works, so it is cooked. ”

"Withdrawn! Withdrawn! Yang Chengshou scolded impatiently: "It's not this time yet!" Listen to your commands! Let you do what you do, do it again, and don't mess around! ”

Yang Chengshou did not watch the people carry the dung away, but immediately entered the arrow tower and found that the team officer in charge of the defense here was drinking, but the team officer had two rags on his nose.

"You kid, in such a stinky place, can you still drink?!" Yang Chengshou frowned and scolded.

The team officer quickly stood up and said angrily, "Isn't this a blocked nose?" If they can keep it, what method they use? ”

Yang Chengshou picked up the wine bowl on the table, and after drinking it in one gulp, he scolded: "You coward! Look at how those thieves dare to attack the city?! Remember, if the thieves attack, you can fight back, if they don't attack, even if you scold your ancestors, you can't take the initiative to provoke them! Did you hear that?! ”

The team officer held back his strength and did not answer.

"I'm telling you, if you want to be promoted and get rich, you have to endure it for me!" Yang Chengshou taught another lesson, and without waiting for the officer's answer, he turned around and left.

The team officer waited for Yang Chengshou to walk for a while before pulling off the rag stuffed in his nostrils and slamming it to the ground. scolded: "I, Hou Guangtai, am not a turtle with a shrunken head!" He couldn't do anything after scolding, so he sat down again and began to drink to relieve his boredom.

Yang Chengshou inspected the other two sides of the city wall and found nothing abnormal, so he got off the city wall and rode to the county office.

"County Honor." Yang Chengshou reported: "The lowly relatives braved the arrows and stones, fought fiercely with the enemy, and killed more than ten thieves who attacked the city wall. There was a huge coward, eight feet tall, who made a big sword of more than 100 catties, and whoever stood in the way of it had weapons and armor shattered. He personally operated a three-stone hard bow and fired five arrows in a row, and finally wounded the giant coward. This man was cunning, and when he saw that he was rushing with his sword raised, he jumped down from the city and fled back to the enemy camp. The crisis of the West Gate was immediately resolved at that time. ”

"The head of the city is two feet high, it's okay to jump down?" Su Jing asked puzzled.

Yang Chengshou said as a matter of course: "That's right, you think, a big knife of more than 100 catties, dancing like a windmill, this person is very good at kung fu, and he is even more powerful than Guan Erye." The two-zhang high city head is not a matter for him! ”

"Oh, what about this decapitation?" Su Jing asked again.

Yang Cheng said: "Oh, my county lord. There are dozens of thieves among the giants, how dare they behead them? The lowly ordered the corpses of the thieves to be thrown off the city, leaving a glimmer of room so that they would not have the heart to attack the city desperately. Otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop them from attacking the city. ”

"Good, well done!" Su Jing nodded and said, "When the thieves leave, the county will definitely give the general's credit." In this eventful season, I believe that the imperial court will definitely not let the general stay in office for a long time. ”

"Humble Xie County." Yang Chengshou happily bowed to the end.
