The torches flickered on and off at the head of the city, and they were all blamed on the annoying wind.

Tang Qu's hands hung weakly at his side, although they were hidden in the sleeves of his robe, he couldn't hide his trembling, and the wind ruffled his already messy hair, and suddenly he was as miserable as those homeless people in the city.

"How?" It was almost a whisper, Tang Qu completely forgot that he was the landlord of this place, and now this appearance will give a bad impression to the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and even the morale of the army may be affected by this.

Next to Linghe is not much better.

Tang Qu came to his senses, widened his eyes, and said to Ling Daodao: "This is premeditated, we can't send someone in front of us to defect to the enemy, General Ling, immediately send a herald, no matter what, we must also send the news back...... It must be transmitted to the Daimyo's Mansion and even the capital in the shortest possible time. Tang Qu said that the afterglow fell on the crowd of Wuyang and Wuyang under the city, and said sadly: "If these people go to the capital, you and I will be sinners for the ages."

As he said this, Tang Qu's face was already distorted, his green tendons fell, and he forcibly endured the churning blood in his heart, and coughed violently.

Ling He arranged for his own soldiers to take care of Tang Qu, and immediately turned around to the city, gathered all the heralds, and said word by word: "...... Ben will not hide it from you, if you go out of the city, you may die if you don't get out of a mile, but the current situation is like this, I have to order you to go out of the city as a general, and the order is only one sentence, no matter what, live to bring the news to the Daimyo's mansion......"

More than a dozen heralds shook their bodies: "I'll wait for my orders."

Ling Daodao: "Remember that we are all your wives and children behind us, everything we are doing now is to protect them, for this belief, we will not hesitate to pay for our lives......"

After a short time of talking about the mobilization, emphasizing the arduousness of the task, Ling He gave an order, and the herald selected the best horses in the city and rushed out from different city gates in batches.

After doing all this, Ling He returned to the city tower, Tang Qu had already recovered, but his face looked extremely ugly, he was sallow under the light of the fire, and the Jinpa in his hand was already stained with blood.

Ling He walked over, asked, and then got down to business: "Someone has been sent to summon the interrogation, but because of the lack of manpower, only sixteen have been dispatched."

Tang Qu raised his head and said, "It's not enough, such an army suddenly appeared outside the city and we didn't have the slightest news, which is enough to show that the other party's scouts bite us very tightly, and there must be scouts waiting outside the city at this time......"

Tang Qu coughed a few times, calmed down, and said: "I didn't approve ten people, let them leave after tea, no matter what, this news must be transmitted back...... I don't believe that if we send a few hundred people, none of them will rush to the Daimyo's Mansion......"

Tang Qu was excited, and then coughed again, Ling He came over, wanting to persuade a few words, but was stopped by Tang Qu.

Tang Qu turned around and looked at the brightly lit local camp under the city, and said: "They will definitely attack the city tonight, you and I don't have much time to rest, and they are at least a siege force on the right track with a ladder, and the number may be more than three times that of us...... In the end, the city wall of Jixian County is only rammed with loess, and we only have 2,000 available soldiers, so we will definitely not be able to rely on this battle alone. ”

Hearing this, Ling He already understood the meaning of Tang Qu, and immediately said, "The last general will go to recruit the people." ”

Tang Qu bowed: "The general must tell them that we have no way to retreat except for holding on to the road of reinforcements!"

Ling He paused, bowed and retreated.

Tang Qu coughed a few more times, and the starlight came out from behind the clouds, and the military camp under the city could be seen more clearly.

At this moment, there was an exclamation from the city wall not far away, followed by the sound of rolling stones falling and trees smashing down, Tang Qu heard the sound and went over there, leaving only a few corpses under the city.

Those corpses that were clearly the people of the New Dynasty were smashed beyond recognition by the rolling stones, and in his eyes, they were extremely disgusting and hated at this time.

scolded in his heart, Tang Qu had to arrange it, and then added the number of torches, and the fire lit up for a while, seeing this scene, Tang Qu suddenly woke up, called his own soldiers over, and said: "Go and light the beacon."

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, thinking that even if they lit it on this big night, they couldn't see it, and before he could ask, Tang Qu had already said: "Igniting a fire, it's best to be a fire...... You go to the city and find an open space, evacuate all the people around you, and then light a fire......"

"My lord, tonight is windy and the fire is hard to control......"

"No problem." Tang Qu said, "Tonight, the official fights the entire city, and he must not let the Rong people take a step." ”

The implication is that it can't survive tonight, and Jixian County will also be burned clean at that time.

Kissed and retreated.

In a short time, the original square in the city was already lit up by fire, followed by the sound of invective from the people.

Tang Qu couldn't take care of it anymore.

Although there is a beacon tower in Jixian County, it is not like the Great Wall where there is one every other distance, so even if Jixian is lit, the effect is actually very poor at night.

Jixian County is in the throat of the southbound Daimyo's Mansion, although it has experienced a lot of baptism of war in the past, but after all, there is Taiyuan Mansion in front of it in these years, and this kind of scene has not been seen much.

The people in the city became panicked because of this, Ling He used some means to suppress the riots in the city, fortunately, Tang Qu is usually a clean and honest official, and now the people are not against him, and the people are quickly organized, and everyone still has the consciousness of hating the same enemy.

At this time, the first wave of attacks by the Rong people had already begun.

At the front of the ladder were still those new dynasty refugees, compared to the daytime, they were like chicken blood, Wuyang Wuyang rushed over.

Beijung can send such a team of nearly 10,000 people to the hinterland of the Daimyo's mansion, which is already the limit, and the siege equipment should be made temporarily.

Although Tang Qu didn't understand why those cavalry would attack in advance during the day, he was still very glad at this time, if so, they would not have any defenses at all.

On second thought, it's probably those guys fighting for credit.

In the shouting of killing, the sound of rolling stones hitting the flesh can be heard clearly, and no one pays attention to the tragic situation under the city, and the soldiers basically forget their fear after killing the red eye, and just mechanically repeat the action of throwing stones under the city.

Even the kind-hearted young soldier who had opened the city gate earlier was now looking at him, scolding and shouting at his comrades.

The battle spread, and in the sound of fighting, the siege troops of Beirong had already fought.

The towers of the city began to be attacked, and although they quickly hacked those who came up to death, the further back they went, the more the people felt that it was extremely difficult.

Personnel are dwindling at a terrifying rate.

On this night in early April of the third year of Shenwu, the Rong people once again went south to kick off, and blood and fire once again filled the already unbearable Central Plains.
