Chapter 56: Tense County Order
"Fourth brother, someone of them came to get hurt." Li Mu reminded.
Li Yan sat on the ground to rest, and said in a low voice: "Let them get it back, the wounded can also cause them a lot of trouble." As long as they're not here to sneak up, leave them alone. ”
Li Mu instructed the observing crossbowman, and then sat down and said, "Then it also depends on who is injured, if it is more important, it can also be treated." If it's a little minion, it's going to be handed over to his family directly, and there's not much trouble. ”
After the thieves brought the wounded back, they did not reappear, and they were far away from the range of the crossbow.
The carpenters in the 'Time Migration' team were working hard to build the long ladder, but the time was very tight, and they had to directly use logs to assemble it, which made the weight of the long ladder very heavy, and more than 20 people had to carry it together to barely move.
It's just such a rough utensil, and they only made it when they were in the Shen period. It takes time to cut down the trees, cut off the branches, choose the straighter ones to use, and then nail the crossbeams, and connect several ladders to a length of more than three zhang.
The county seat, on the city wall of the south gate urn.
"W, why are there so many thieves?" Su Jing looked at the thieves who were in a hurry outside the city and asked a little nervously.
He had also received a report that the thieves had come to Qixian. But when he heard that the thieves had really come this morning, he was still a little worried. Although he had already ordered the city to be closed, and the defenders were all on the city wall, the preparations were still relatively sufficient. But there is still a big gap between the thieves who are really coming and the ones who are likely to come.
Su Jing finally mustered up the courage to call Yang Chengshou and personally went up to the city wall to take a look. Still, he felt nervous when he saw the crowd outside the city.
Yang Chengshou is a soldier in the end, although he has not seen much battle, but he is skilled in bows and horses, how can he say that he is also a martial artist. So he calmly replied: "Yuxian Zun, they are from the west, and they should have come from Tongxu." ”
"This, how many people can do this?" Su Jing pointed to the crowd outside the city and asked.
Yang Chengshou immediately replied: "There should be three or four thousand people in total." ”
"Did you ask Kaifeng for help?" Su Jing hurriedly asked. This is what he cares about, although the city wall of the county town has been rebuilt, but he doesn't know if he can stop the attack of the thieves.
"The county honor, there are thieves in the four gates, and they can't get out of the city." Yang Chengshou replied with a fist.
Su Jing was anxious, and immediately asked, "How many soldiers are in the city?" Can it be kept? Do you need to gather Ding Zhuang in the city to defend it? ”
Yang Chengshou replied: "County Zun, there are now more than 400 soldiers. Our walls are high and the pool is deep, so there shouldn't be much of a problem with guarding it. But~"
"But what?" Su Jing hurriedly asked, "But the equipment is insufficient?" There are still some arrows in the county's arsenal, so I'll send someone to bring them to you. General Yang must defend the city without losing it, and the people of Hecheng rely on the Yang family general and his warriors. ”
Yang Chengshou waited for a while, and then finally said: "County Zun, the brothers still owe two months' salary, do you think you have given the arrears to the brothers first, so that the brothers can kill the thieves and defend the city with peace of mind?" ”
Su Jing rolled his eyes, nodded, and held his beard and said, "It's okay." The soldiers were given one month's salary, and when the thieves were defeated, another month's salary and silver were rewarded. ”
"This, this." Yang Chengshou was embarrassed and said: "At the moment of this great enemy, if there is no food, the army's morale will be unstable." ”
Su Jing approached Yang Chengshou and explained in a low voice: "General Yang, it's not that the county doesn't pay the soldiers, it's really that there is no surplus money in the county." There are four or five hundred homeless people in the county town, and they are given porridge every day, and the county treasury has long been emptied. When the thieves are defeated, I will write to Governor Li (Li Xianfeng) to ask for merit for the soldiers, and then there will be a reward and money and food. ”
"The lowly duty must do his best to defend the city and prevent the thieves from succeeding." Yang Chengshou didn't have much strength to guarantee.
Su Jing seemed to have known Yang Chengshou's tricks, so he suddenly became tough and admonished: "General Yang, instead of trying your best, you must hold the county without losing!" Now that the captives have withdrawn, the armies of the kings of Qin will return to their original places. If the county seat is lost, the county will naturally coexist with the county seat, but the general also has the sin of losing the county seat! The general has to fight to the death, so don't affect his family! ”
Yang Chengshou glanced at Su County's order, which suddenly became shrewd, and had no choice but to bow down and say: "The county's teachings should be kept in mind. ”
With a "bang", a feather arrow shot at the pillar of the arrow tower on the urn city.
"Oops, the thieves are coming! Fight back! Don't let the thieves go up the walls! Su Jing was so frightened by this sudden arrow that he squatted on the ground, and he couldn't care less when his official hat fell to the ground. Nervously shouted loudly and gave orders in a panic.
"County, county." Yang Chengshou hurriedly reminded: "It's okay, the thieves haven't started attacking the city yet." It was the thief who shot up a letter, and it was addressed to the county honoring you. ”
"For the county?" Su Jing came to his senses and listened for a while, it didn't look like he was besieging the city, the thieves outside the city were just making loud noise. What "Kaejo", "an hour", "chickens and dogs do not stay".
Yang Chengshou handed the letter shot by the thief to Su Xian Ling with both hands. Said: "The thieves want us to open the door and surrender within an hour, otherwise, there will be no chickens and dogs left after the city is broken." ”
Su Jing took it and took a look, it was indeed written on it, but the words were unsightly, it could only be said that it could still be recognized, and there was no beauty at all.
"The rebels are coming!"
"The city is going to be broken!"
"Chickens and dogs don't stay!"
……
Suddenly, panicked shouts came from inside the city, and almost at the same time, the city seemed to be on fire, and black smoke was rising.
"County Zun, you have to quickly control those hungry people in the city. Otherwise, people's hearts will be in chaos, and the county will not be able to hold it! Yang Chengshou immediately reminded.
The people inside and outside the city of Sujing City looked back and forth for a while, and ordered the officials around him: "Go!" Let all the third-class officials of the county government who can pull out of their bodies, the archers will help the idle, all carry weapons on the street, and those who are noisy and scurry, all arrested! Catch those who take advantage of the chaos and do evil! Place all the hungry people in the city in the city to the City God Temple, and they are not allowed to enter or leave! The thieves postponed and gave you a silver reward! ”
"If you are lowly and you are going to do it, you will do it." The official was also a little nervous, unconsciously repeating. After that, he ran down to the city in a panic.
Su County ordered Yang Cheng to guard: "I will mobilize the people to go to the city to assist in the defense, and the soldiers don't have to worry about the food, all of which are taken care of by the county." Please be sure to defend the city, build immortal feats, and leave good stories for the ages. ”
"It's just some rogue, can you have such a big credit?" Yang Chengshou thought to himself. However, he still hugged his fist to Su Xian Ling and promised: "Please rest assured, as long as I, Yang, am here, the county seat of Qixian County will be impregnable!" ”
"Good, good. The prefecture is waiting for the general's jet. ”
