Chapter 225: The Breakthrough Is Blocked
Late at night on August 2, 426 of the Great Jin Dynasty, tens of thousands of people of Qi County gathered in the north gate of Qi County, but it was very quiet here, only occasionally there were children's cries, but they would stop abruptly and be gagged by adults.

The heads of more than a dozen powerful families in the county seat of Qixian County gathered near the North City Gate, and everyone's faces were a little dignified.
The head of the Gong family in Qi County said in a deep voice: "There is less than half an hour left, Wang Ji County Order ordered the soldiers of our families to be the vanguard, opening an escape channel for tens of thousands of people in Qi County, and Wang County Order will take people to continue to guard the other three city walls and cut off the queen for everyone." β
At this time, the head of the Zhou family snorted coldly and said: "That's a good thing, why didn't Wang Ji let the army in his hands be the vanguard, but let the people of our families die in front!" β
The head of the Deng family also followed: "No, I think Wang Xianling wants our people from various families to be cannon fodder for him." β
At this time, Chen Min, the head of the Chen family, sighed and said, "Don't complain first, let's focus on how to get out of the city!" β
The head of the Yan family said: "The news of the breakthrough was known by the people in the city, but it is also good, although the large number of people will bring inconvenience, but we have nearly 20,000 young and strong men in our hands, with nearly 20,000 young and strong men among these people, our chances of success in breaking through have greatly increased, and it can also reduce the losses of our families." β
Among the more than a dozen Haoqiang families in Qi County, the strength of the Gong family, the Zhou family, the Deng family, the Chen family and the Yan family is the strongest, but each of them can only take out a few hundred soldiers at present, and the five families together are only more than 1,000 troops, even if the rest of the Haoqiang families are added, the combat power is more than 2,000.
With such a small number of troops, even if the more than 1,000 people controlled by the county commander Wang Ji are added to it, it is not enough to face the hundreds of thousands of rogues outside the city, and it will be very, very difficult to successfully break through, so there is no need for the county order Wang Ji to make a move, there are people from the Haoqiang family who deliberately revealed the news of the breakthrough, hoping that the young and strong men in the city can break through together.
As soon as the news came that the powerful families in the county seat of Qi County and the county commander Wang Ji were preparing to break out tonight, as some people hoped, the people gathered in the North City Gate at this time were almost the vast majority of the people in the county seat of Qi County, with a total number of nearly 90,000, and nearly 20,000 young and strong men.
More than a dozen powerful families in Qi County immediately unceremoniously temporarily reorganized nearly 20,000 young and strong men, and these nearly 20,000 young and strong men will be the real cannon fodder when they break through.
The head of the Gong family immediately said to the heads of the other families: "It's useless to talk about it at this point, tonight in order for our families in Qi County to continue to exist, we can only fight a bloody way!" β
Liu Hao carried Liu Niuniu on his back, and took Liu Tie and Liu Meng to join the Chen family's team at this moment, in order to facilitate the breakthrough, Liu Niuniu had been tied to her back by Liu Hao.
Chen Yan saw Liu Hao coming, said hello to Liu Niuniu, and said to Liu Hao with a wry smile: "Brother-in-law, the news of the breakout has been known to the people of the entire county, so the number of people who broke through has suddenly increased dozens of times, but most of them are old and young women and children, and when they break through for a while, they don't know what it will become, alas-"
Liu Hao glanced at the dense crowd, and then said: "It's okay like this, it's much better than letting tens of thousands of people wait for death in the city, as for whether they can escape, it's up to each of them to settle their destiny." β
"Brother-in-law, when you break through, please take care of our Chen family's team, especially the carriage that my father is riding." As he spoke, Chen Yan also glanced at Liu Meng, who was holding a pair of huge iron mallets, and Liu Meng was also wearing a slightly larger set of iron armor.
Liu Hao also looked back at Liu Meng, then nodded and said, "No problem, I will let Liu Meng take care of it more." β
After Chen Yan turned around and left, and continued to work to reorganize the young and strong men, Liu Hao whispered to Liu Meng: "Mengzi, after rushing out of the city for a while, except for me and you Uncle Tie, no one else needs to pay attention to it. β
Liu Meng nodded in understanding and said, "Master, don't worry, Mengzi will definitely protect the master, Miss and Uncle Tie!" β
Liu Hao patted Liu Meng on the shoulder and said, "You have to be careful yourself, tonight will be a tough battle!" β
Liu Niuniu stretched out her head from behind Liu Hao at this time and shouted to Liu Meng: "Brother Mengzi, you must protect your father and Uncle Tie!" β
Liu Meng nodded fiercely again, "Miss Niuniu, don't worry, Mengzi will definitely be able to fight a bloody way for the master, the young lady and Uncle Tie tonight, and break out of the encirclement of the rogue army!" β
When the time came to the second day of August, the north gate of the county seat of Qixian County was suddenly opened, and countless figures rushed out of the north gate by moonlight and went straight to the camp of the Liukou army outside the city.
However, when the crowd that rushed out of the county seat of Qi County approached the Liukou camp, the originally dark Liukou camp instantly lit countless torches, and in front of the Liukou camp, there were already countless Liukou foot soldiers, lined up in a neat battle formation, waiting for the crowd to break through in Qixian County.
"It's over, the rogues are ready!"
"What can I do? With so many rogues, how could we possibly rush out? β
Just when many young and strong men in Qi County and the soldiers of the Haoqiang family were panicked when they saw that the Liukou was prepared, someone suddenly shouted: "For our wives and children, the gentlemen of Qi County, kill the Liukouββ"
Immediately, more people also shouted: "Gentlemen of Qi County, kill the rogueβ"
Immediately after that, the crowd that broke through in Qi County, ignoring the rain of arrows of the Liukou archers, slammed into the battle formation of the Liukou foot soldiers, and suddenly the screams and shouts of killing resounded.
The heads of the Haoqiang family in Qi County were also very shocked to find that the rogues outside the city seemed to be prepared for their breakthrough, but at this time, they had to send arrows on the bow, and the heads of the families gritted their teeth and commanded the soldiers of each family, leading the young and strong men in the city, constantly impacting the battle formation of the rogues.
Soon, the heads of the powerful families found that there were too many rogues outside the city, and they couldn't rush out of the battle formation laid by the rogues, which inevitably made some of the lords of the families waver, whether to retreat to the city first for the time being, and at this moment, a large number of rogues appeared in the county seat of Qixian County, and launched a flank attack on them from the city.
Wang Ji, the county commander who swore to help the people of Qi County guard the other three city walls, and the army under his command disappeared at this time, and now in front of the Haoqiang family and the people of Qi County, there is only one way left to break through the siege.
