Chapter 558: Driving the People to Attack the City

"Lingshang, in fact, Chen Taishou is not necessarily perfunctory to me!"

Seeing Wu Guangshu fall into a rage, his henchman stood up at this time, wanting to speak out to appease.

"Isn't it perfunctory? And how? What I need now is not the reason behind this! I don't want to understand his distress, I need their reinforcements! The Xianbei people are now outside the city, they have killed all the soldiers who went out to patrol, and they also come to call the door from time to time, who knows when they will rise up to attack? What to do then? Shall I go to the city to block it, or will you fight him? ”

The sword and pen officer was hard to say, but in the end he said bluntly: "On the order, those Xianbei people are few, and they are all cavalry, and they have no siege weapons, how to besiege the city?" All they want is to plunder, and as long as we hold on to the city, they will retreat sooner or later! General Wang also knows that the city is difficult to break, so he will have no fear! ”

"Who can guarantee that? You? Wu Guangshu looked at him directly, the expression on his face was angry and mixed with fear, "Do you see the ferocity of those Hu people?" ”

"They're just looting! In terms of order, you can't mess up because of this, there are still servants and soap officials in the city! The Xianbei people are the ones who dominate the horses, but they can't take the city! And there are so few of them that even the people we sent out to deliver the letter can't stop them! If you are really worried, you only need to choose the support of the martial arts family, and you can ......"

"What can be? Rushing out while the Xianbei people are unprepared? Wu Guangshu's face full of anger and fear showed a wry smile, "If I go out of the city, where can I outrun the horses?" Once you get out of the city, even if you take advantage of the slackness of the Xianbei people to rush out, once you pursue, where to hide? Besides, I have been commanded to defend the land, and if I abandon the city and leave, I will surely be ruined, and what face will I have? Don't mention that! ”

The scribe suddenly did not dare to speak.

"It's a pity that I misbelieved Wang Quan's words, so that I regarded him as a savior and a backer, but alienated Dai County, and asked him for help, but it was mud and stone into the sea, there was no trace, seeing that time continued, the Xianbei people have not left, and the traces of the Huns have appeared, so what can I do?" Wu Guangshu walked to the desk, looked at the stacks of official documents on it, and muttered to himself.

Da-da-da-da.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then a man pushed the door in.

The first time he saw him, Wu Guangshu stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" Is there news from the north? Did Wang Quan send a group of men south? ”

"On the return order, General Wang Quan has no arrangement," The person who came in was Wu Guangshu's subordinate and the person who contacted all parties, and was in charge of many news channels, "The news I received is that the north is fighting with the Huns, and the troops are being pinned down, and it is temporarily impossible to divide the troops to the south, but as long as we hold on, ......"

Syllable!

Before he finished speaking, Wu Guangshu was in a hurry, but he threw out the paperweight in his hand and smashed it on the ground, making a crisp sound.

"Hold on, hold on! In addition to this sentence, what else does he Wang Quanke have to say? At the beginning of that letter, he swore to me that he would rely on his men and horses to block the Hu people, even if one or two small groups of people were missed, becoming a fish that slipped through the net, threatening the city, he would come to support as soon as possible and come to relieve the siege! But now, what about people? What about people? ”

The more he said, the more Wu Guangshu regretted it, nearly five days had passed since the siege of Xianbei, which was not long, nor was it short, according to the Xinhan news network, the news was about to enter the capital.

However, a city on the frontier is besieged by a small group of Hu people, and of course the imperial court will not deal with it with great fanfare, not to mention that now it is a truce with the Xiongnu, and most of the small conflicts on the northern front are still turned a blind eye.

Wu Guangshu could have counted on not many people, especially Wang Junzheng was leading the troops, and the troops in Youzhou were relatively empty, only the garrisons in various places, as well as the generals under the name of Taishou.

So after getting the news of Hu Ren's soldiers, Wu Guangshu chose to believe Wang Quan, of course, some contradictions between him and Chen Zhi also prompted him to make such a decision.

But until now, the intestines have repented.

"I knew that this Wang Quan was just going to use me and drag down the Xianbei people, why did he be fooled? At the beginning, Taishou had sent someone to remind me repeatedly, but I was confused by Wang Quan! This Wang Quan is simply a heinous crime! ”

In the incessant complaining, Wu Guangshu attributed all the responsibility to Wang Quan, completely forgetting that he had detained the inspector for inspection, and even concluded that Chen Zhi was intimidating with power.

"That's right! Hurry up and let a few of the errands go out first! ”

Since he determined that Wang Quan was unreliable, Wu Guangshu also understood that what he had to do now was to get as close to Chen Zhi as possible in order to get through the difficulties in front of him, so he asked people to release him first as soon as possible.

The people below were not verbose, and when they got the order, they immediately arranged it, reflecting the efficiency and execution that they had never had in the past.

It's just that as soon as the people sent over here left, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then the county lieutenant in the city rushed in in a panic.

As soon as he saw his appearance, Wu Guangshu secretly said that something was wrong.

Sure enough, without waiting for him to ask the reason, the county lieutenant poured beans into a bamboo tube, and hurriedly said: "Order, something happened!" Something is wrong! Go to the city walls, the leader of the Xianbei Hu, to speak to you! ”

"Hu people drink blood, they are rude savages, when they want to talk to me, I will pass?" Wu Guangshu raised his eyebrows, and although he was worried, he still held the shelf.

The county lieutenant smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go this time, because they have hostages!" And I also know the reality of the city! ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Wu Guangshu sighed in his heart, and then looked at the several officers who followed behind the county lieutenant, all of them were gray and pale.

"When you go to the city wall, you will know."

The city walls of the city are still very intact, this is because the Xianbei people have not really attacked the city, but they are just shouting and scolding outside, and when they charge for the first time, they want to take advantage of the people in the city and rush into the city.

Still, it brought chaos to the city, depressed the walls, closed the city, and brought silence and depression to the whole city, which could not be reduced even if standing on the high walls.

Especially when Wu Guangshu saw the black crowd under the city, this feeling was even more obvious.

"These ...... These people are ......"

Looking at the figures in the distance of the city wall, who were driven towards the city gate, Wu Guangshu's lips trembled.

Most of these people were poorly dressed and coarse linen, and at first glance they looked like ordinary tenant farmers or ordinary farmers, but among them you could still see old men on crutches, who staggered along and were often supported by men, but they were compelled to move on, although they were slow, because behind the group were sturdy horses with tall heads, and people were sitting at once.

Xianbei people.

Dressed in thick furs, they had no intention of retreating even in the scorching sun, and under their hair were smug smiles, some of them holding swords in their hands, others holding their bows, and the peasants marched rough with threats and foul language.

Beside their horses, there were also a number of figures, fair-skinned, broad-sleeved robes, often tall, but panicked, forced to accompany them, some of whom looked quite athletic, but their hands were tied, and the other end of the rope was led by the Xianbei men on their horses, occasionally dragging them.

The county lieutenant spoke in a low tone: "The Xianbei people have broken through two dock forts, and these people are in the dock forts, and they are forced to come over and force the city!" ”

"How despicable! A trip to the beast! Wu Guangshu suddenly scolded, and the leader of the soldiers on the side came over to ask for instructions on whether to release the arrows.

In the past few days, the Xianbei people often invaded the city gate, although they did not attack the city, but it also caused the psychological pressure of the people in the city, and they had to rely on the archers to force them back, and many Xianbei people had to retreat because of this.

But that's no longer the case.

"If you shoot arrows, you will hurt these fellows!" The county lieutenant reminded him again, "Moreover, look at the few people who are tied up by the side of the horse, they are the people of the Zhu family, the dock fort of the Zhu family has been breached, and some people have been tied up, if they are injured because of this, then even if they drive away these Xianbei people, we will not be able to explain afterwards!" ”

"Are you still thinking about the aftermath?" Wu Guangshu suddenly became furious, "How can I tell you, these Xianbei people will definitely find a way to attack the city, do you know why?" He pointed to the city, "Because there's a granary here!" They were scouring outside, but the summer grain had just been planted, and how much grain was unharvested? Even in the dock fort, there is not much food in stock, how can they be satisfied, so this city is their goal! ”

Thinking of this, Wu Guangshu suddenly shouted at an archer beside him: "Release the arrow!" Shoot arrows at those Hu people! Don't let them come near the door! ”

"No, you can't!"

"Wu Ling, I have relatives there!"

"I hope you think twice!"

It's just that as soon as his voice fell, a sentence suddenly came from his side.

Looking at the few people who spoke, among them were Wu Guangshu's subordinate officials, some soldiers guarding the city, and some people who were forcibly recruited, and in an instant, Wu Guangshu thought of Chen Zhi's suggestion to himself.

To clear the wilderness, it is not only necessary to clean up the grain, but also to gather the people outside to reduce hidden dangers as much as possible.

"It's a pity, it's too late, Wang Quan mistook me!"

Noticing that many people's eyes were full of retreat and worry, Wu Guangshu knew that the morale of the army in the city had a tendency to waver.

"Ahh

Under the city gate, there were suddenly a few screams, it turned out that someone from the crowd who was driven away stopped and wanted to retreat, but was slashed by the Xianbei people who followed behind, and immediately blood was dripping.

"Stop them! If you don't stop them and attack the city, everyone will end up like this, give me arrows! Liu family, you go and bring people to pull the prepared stones! ”
