Chapter 16 - Desperate to Hold On

Just when Pan Lin took the Shanyue rebels from the mountains and forests to Haichang County, Lu Xun, who was staying in the county government, had not received the news, and he didn't know that a storm was hitting Haichang.

However, just when Lu Xun didn't know anything about it, the peerless system hidden in Lu Xun's mind suddenly appeared. Looking at the task given by the system, Lu Xun's heart was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't help but shed a cold sweat on his body.

"Di - it was detected that Pan Linzheng, the marshal of Shanyue, led the Shanyue rebels to come here, preparing to attack Haichang County, and hereby release a life-and-death mission - defend the city to the death!"

"Task description: Pan Lin, the commander of the Shanyue rebels in Huiji County, covets the grain hoarding in Haichang County, and hereby leads the Shanyue rebels to attack the city, and the host needs to insist on Haichang City under Pan Lin's attack!"

"Mission Success: Reward the host with 10 points of increased force, 5 points of intelligence, and 10 points of command!"

"Mission Failed: Obliteration!"

Looking at the last two words given by the system, Lu Xun couldn't help but gasp, he never thought that this was a long-lost life and death task.

I still remember that the first time he received the task was a life and death mission, and I have to say that this is simply a nightmare difficulty mission.

At this time, he didn't bother to ask why the mission failure would be obliterated, anyway, according to the explanation given by the system for the first time, it was speculated, but because of the mission failure, Haichang fell, and he who was stationed on the city wall would naturally become the primary target of the Shanyue rebels, and the probability of surviving was low and terrifying.

What's more, in terms of the urine of the system, whether it is a reward or a punishment for failure, as long as it is irrelevant to the value of ability, there is a reasonable explanation.

Therefore, once the mission fails, the obliteration of the system will definitely be achieved on the body of the Shanyue rebels.

However, the most important thing now is not to consider who will wipe him out after the mission fails, but at this moment Haichang City is suffering from a crisis.

Lu Xun calmed down his mind, and then ordered someone to summon the officials of the county government to come to discuss the matter.

After all the officials arrived, Lu Xun informed everyone of the news that Pan Lin was heading towards Haichang County, and then said, "What do you think we should do?" ”

Xiao Yi heard Lu Xun's words, his face changed greatly, he looked at Lu Xun and said, "Lu County Order, can this news be sure to be true?" ”

Lu Xun glanced at Xiao Yi: "What do you think?" ”

Hearing Lu Xun say this, Xiao Yi opened his mouth but didn't say anything, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

As a county official, he naturally knew that Lu Xun would not joke about this kind of thing, but he didn't want to believe it in his heart.

But why is that? As one of the commanders of the Shanyue rebels, didn't Pan Lin stay in Huiji County? Why did they come to Wu County and attack Haichang? ”

"It doesn't make sense!"

Lu Xun couldn't help but feel disappointed when Xiao Yi said such words, and after shaking his head, he said to him: "Because of food!" ”

"Because of this year's drought, most of the land in Jiangdong is threatened by famine, and the people of Shanyue who are hiding in the mountains and forests are even more unbearable. In this case, it is not surprising that Pan Lin ran to Wu County to attack Haichang! ”

"Who made Haichang's strength too weak!"

Everyone heard Lu Xun's words and fell into silence, they couldn't deny what Lu Xun said.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lu Xun frowned slightly, and then cast his gaze on Gao Sheng: "How are the training of the hundred guard soldiers?" ”

After Jiang Qin listened to Lu Xun's words and went to Jingzhou to buy grain, the training of the 100-man escort army that had been recruited and formed was handed over to Gao Sheng.

Gao Sheng heard Lu Xun's question, lost his mind slightly, and then saluted Lu Xun and said, "Return to Lu County's order, train...... That's how it is to train! ”

After hearing Gao Sheng's answer, Lu Xun understood that there was no progress in co-authoring.

Frowning and thinking about it carefully, Lu Xun waved his hand at Gao Sheng: "Forget it, there is no time left for them, just let them do this!" ”

"The other party is coming to Haichang County, and with these 100 people, it is not enough at all!"

"If you have private soldiers in your home, you will all be sent to defend the city on the city walls this time!"

Everyone heard Lu Xun's words, and after losing their minds slightly, they saluted Lu Xun loudly.

After receiving everyone's promises, Lu Xun's heart was also a lot more relieved, but even so, there was no guarantee that he would be able to defend Haichang County.

Glancing at Xueyun sitting beside him, Lu Xun had a plan in his heart, and said, "Yingfeng, what about you?" ”

After hearing Lu Xun's words, Xueyun slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Xun: "Don't worry, I will also let the family's private soldiers climb the city wall!" ”

"After all, Haichang is also our city, and it's not Pan Lin's turn to rob it!"

Lu Xun nodded, then glanced at the crowd, and said: "This time, I will also climb the city tower, either the other party will die first, or we will be breached first." ”

"Now let's go and prepare first, first recall the people who are still outside the city to the city, and when the people return to the city, close the city gate immediately!"

"As for the 100 guards and the private soldiers of each family, immediately ascend the city tower and prepare to defend the city!"

"Gao Sheng, you immediately take the guards of the county government to prepare to roll the wood!"

Lu Xun stopped his words, looked around, and then said, "Now hurry up!" ”

The words fell, and after everyone saluted Lu Xun, they left the mansion and prepared according to Lu Xun's instructions!

Xue Yun glanced at Lu Xun and said slowly, "Do you really plan to defend the city?" With the current strength, it won't last long! ”

Lu Xun rubbed his forehead with his hand, sighed, and said to him: "I naturally know that it is impossible to last long, but is there any other way?" ”

"There are always things to do!"

Hearing Lu Xun's answer, Xueyun frowned slightly, and then chuckled: "Whatever you want!" ”

As the words fell, Xue Yun slowly stood up from the couch, and after moving his body slightly, he walked towards the outside of the county office.

Just as Xue Yun's right foot was about to step out of the door, Lu Xun's words came from behind him.

"Yingfeng, wait a minute!"

Xue Yun heard the words coming from behind him, withdrew his right foot, glanced back at Lu Xun, and said, "What else is going on?" ”

Lu Xun was silent for a while, although he wanted Xueyun to contribute more to defending the city, but he couldn't open his mouth for a long time.

In desperation, Lu Xun could only shake his head and sigh at Xueyun: "Forget it, it's nothing!" ”

Xue Yun naturally knew what Lu Xun was thinking, and after shrugging his shoulders, he moved his legs and walked towards the door: "Don't worry, I will let all the people in my mansion climb the city wall, after all, the city is broken, and it will not be good for me!" ”

……

After the people outside the city heard the news that the Shanyue rebels were preparing to attack the city, although they didn't fully believe it in their hearts, because Lu Xun's behavior of opening a warehouse and releasing grain also made the people trust him, and slowly walked towards the city.

However, this is extremely dangerous.

When the people were about to approach the city gate, dust began to rise not far behind them, and the army led by Pan Lin was not far away.

When the guards above the city tower saw this scene, they were shocked, and hurriedly ran to the county government to report back to Lu Xun and the others.

After Lu Xun got the news, he immediately ran out of the county government and ran in the direction of the city wall.

After climbing the city wall, Lu Xun found that Xiao Yi, Gao Sheng and others had been waiting on the city wall for a long time.

"What's going on now?" Lu Xun frowned, and then asked.

Xiao Yi saluted Lu Xun, and then replied: "Lu County Order, the Shanyue rebels are less than three miles away, but the people outside the city have not yet fully entered the city!" ”

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Lu Xun hurriedly ran to the edge of the city wall, looked out of the city, and saw that the figure of Pan Lin's army could be faintly seen in the distance, and at the city gate, there were still many people flocking to the city.

Perhaps these people had also sensed the arrival of the Shanyue rebels, and at this moment there was a riot at the city gate.

"Why haven't all these people entered the city yet?"

Xiao Yi saluted Lu Xun and replied: "I don't know, maybe I don't believe it very much, so maybe it's a little slow!" ”

……

Pan Lin led the army very close to Haichang County, and when he saw the garrison on the city wall, he knew that Haichang County was already prepared at this time.

When he looked at the city gate, the corners of Pan Lin's mouth lifted a smile.

Glancing back at Ah Er who was following behind him, Pan Lin opened his mouth and said, "Ah Er, you take a hundred people to go first, and rush over directly to me while the city gate of Haichang County is not closed!" ”

Ah Er heard Pan Lin's words, glanced at the gate of Haichang City, and sneered: "Dashuai, what should those people do?" ”

"You can do what you want, what I want is to break Haichang for me as soon as possible!"

Hearing Pan Lin's words, Ah Er made a promise, and quickly rushed to Haichang County with a hundred Shanyue rebels.

The people blocking the gate of the city also saw the attack of the Shanyue rebels, and their hearts were immediately panicked, and they rushed towards the city.

However, the gate was so wide that it was blocked under the frantic crowding of the people.

Lu Xun glanced at the attack of the Shanyue rebels outside the city, and then saw the congestion at the city gate, and couldn't help but feel anxious.

Xiao Yi, Gao Sheng and others also saw the attack of the Shanyue rebels outside the city, and they were also very anxious, and hurriedly said to Lu Xun: "Lu County Order, there is no time, the city gate must be closed quickly!" ”

In fact, Lu Xun also knew clearly in his heart that if he didn't close the city gate at this time, it would be easy to break through the city gate when the Shanyue rebels reached under the city wall.

But if he were to give up on these people like this, he would not be able to do it.

Gao Sheng saw that Lu Xun had not given the order for a long time, and couldn't help shouting at him: "Lu County Order, there is no time!" ”

Hearing Gao Sheng's shout, Lu Xun gritted his teeth, and then led his guards to run under the city tower: "I'll take people out to block those Shanyue rebels first, and you will take the people into the city!" ”

Xiao Yi, Gao Sheng and others were shocked when they heard Lu Xun's words, and before they had time to stop it, Lu Xun's figure had already disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

After Xiao Yi and Gao Sheng glanced at each other, they pointed to their respective private soldiers and said, "You also follow behind Lu Xian Ling to help stop it!" ”

"No!"

……

Lu Xun led the guards and private soldiers to rush out of the city gate from among the people, Ah Er had already come to Haichang City.

Lu Xun saw Ah Er rushing towards the city gate, frowned slightly, pulled out the double swords on his waist, and stepped forward.

Swords intersect and burst into bursts of sparks.

Lu Xun struggled to parry Ah Er's slash, but compared with Ah Er, Lu Xun was always a lot worse, and he was soon pushed out by Ah Er.

Feeling the tingling sensation coming from his hands, Lu Xun's eyes couldn't help narrowing, and he secretly muttered to himself in his heart: "What a lot of strength, it seems that it is still a little reluctant to completely block the other party!" ”

Turning around and glancing at the city gate, seeing that there were a lot fewer people at the city gate at this time, Lu Xun clearly knew in his heart that as long as he could hold on for a while, these people would be able to enter the city.

In order to buy more time for the people, although Lu Xun knew that he was not Ah Er's opponent, he still rushed towards Ah Er with his twin swords.

After a hard battle, Lu Xun's body was already full of scars, and the guards and private soldiers around him also suffered a lot of casualties, and there were only a few dozen people left.

Ah Er licked the blood stains on the blade, chuckled and said, "How long can you hold on?" ”

Just when Ah Er's words fell, the words of Gao Sheng came from the city wall of Haichang County behind Lu Xun: "Lu County order, the people have all entered the city!" ”

Ah Er glanced at the city wall of Haichang County, then looked at Lu Xun, and said, "It turns out that you are the county commander, so I can't let you go!" ”

Lu Xun heard Ah Er's words, snorted lightly, and then said to the guards and private soldiers beside him: "You guys withdraw first!" ”

“……”

Seeing that everyone didn't move, Lu Xun couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly shouted: "I said, you guys withdraw first, don't leave quickly!" ”

Seeing Lu Xun's tough attitude, the guards and private soldiers could only obey Lu Xun's words and fight back.

Ah Er saw the guards and private soldiers retreating quickly, and his brows furrowed slightly, wanting to catch up.

However, before he could lead the army up, Lu Xun took a step forward on the Chitu horse, stopped in front of the army, and said coldly: "I'm still here, is it because I don't exist?" ”

Seeing that the guards and private soldiers had already run away, Ah Er turned his gaze to Lu Xun: "Since you want to die now, then I will fulfill you!" ”

"Kill!"
