After the fall of Huiji County, Wu County, which was separated by a bay, felt a huge threat.

In order to prevent the rebels from entering Kouwu County, Yuan Shansong hurriedly divided his troops to defend various places.

However, because Sanwu Chengping had been peaceful for a long time, the county soldiers had long been useless, so they had to recruit young and strong people to resist the enemy.

However, the young and strong people who were temporarily recruited were extremely low in combat effectiveness due to lack of training.

As a last resort, Yuan Shansong asked Liu Muzhi, Sima Xiuzhi and others for help, and asked to send a workshop to guard the city.

After receiving Yuan Shansong's request for help, Liu Muzhi thought about it for a while, and immediately decided to stay to resist the enemy.

Liu Muzhi's choice to help Yuan Shansong was not entirely out of 'righteous deeds', but more for the consideration of Hexi.

At present, in addition to the followers of the Wudoumi Sect, there are also a large number of innocent people who are passively affected.

If the imperial court ignored this, they would have no other way out than to passively get involved in the turmoil.

And Liu Muzhi helped Yuan Shansong to keep Wu County, in order to facilitate the common people to move to Yizhou Island.

In the past year, although Hexi has successfully gained a foothold on Yizhou Island, it is still too early for it to be truly mastered.

Among them, the biggest factor restricting the development of Yizhou is the lack of Hermes-Epitek.

Now that Sanwu is in turmoil, it is a good opportunity for Hexi to accept the displaced people.

Time flies, a few days have passed, and the situation in Sanwu is getting worse and worse.

And the Beifu soldiers led by Liu Jiaozhi have just crossed the Yangtze River and joined Xie Yan, and they are still far away from Wu County.

……

This morning, the sky over Shanghai was as gray as the current situation.

At noon, a light rain began to fall in the sky.

By the afternoon, the clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and there was a faint sound of thunder in the sky.

The thunder grew louder and louder, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and gradually the raindrops the size of beans began to crash into the ground.

At this moment, Yuan Shansong was standing by the window, looking at the rain falling down the eaves, his brows furrowed.

Thinking of the aggressive rebels in front of him made Yuan Shansong feel very heavy.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps in the distance.

He couldn't help but look up, only to see Li Xiang, the lieutenant of Wu County, running towards him at a high speed.

Li Xiang came to the front and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Fujun, according to the report from the scout, more than 10,000 thieves are rushing towards the Shanghai base. ”

When Yuan Shansong heard that the rebels were coming, he turned around suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, it's still here, go!" The old man went to take a look. ”

When Yuan Shansong and Li Xiang hurried to the city wall, they saw Liu Muzhi and Sima Xiuzhi waiting for a long time.

"Right Sima, whether you can successfully repel the thieves this time depends on you."

"Please worry about the monarch of the government, and I am willing to advance and retreat with the people of Wu County, and swear to repel the enemy army to the death."

personally got Liu Muzhi's assurance, which made Yuan Shansong feel at ease.

After a while, everyone saw a chaotic army outside the city, and at a glance, they couldn't see the head at all.

In comparison, the sparse garrison at the head of the city was insignificant.

In an instant, everyone's faces changed drastically, and they were full of worries about the future war.

Only the five hundred Hexi guards seemed to be unaffected, their armor was neat, their expressions were neat, their backs were straight, and a high-spirited fighting spirit was born.

At Liu Muzhi's insistence, Sima Xiuzhi deservedly took command of the defenders.

So, while the others were still immersed in shock, he gave the order to prepare to meet the enemy.

Suddenly, the people and young men began to move materials such as sassal wood, rolling stones, and arrows to the city, and the guards and soldiers were also waiting for them.

Seeing that the enemy army was strong, Yuan Shansong couldn't help but complain to Liu Muzhi: "I knew this was the case, I should have let Commander Sun stay with the sailor." ”

"In this way, we have at least nearly 4,000 people in our hands, and we will not be as passive as we are now."

"Although the Hexi guards are brave, after all, two fists are invincible to four hands."

"At present, there are many thieves, and there are thousands of ...... In case you can't stop the enemy army, then ...... Then you and I are in danger. ”

Other Wu County officials also felt the same way, and they blamed Liu Muzhi one after another.

But where did they know Liu Muzhi's thoughts, these more than 1,000 water masters were cultivated by everyone with great difficulty, how could they be wasted on defending the city.

Besides, Liu Muzhi didn't think that more than 10,000 'rabble' were capable of breaking through the Shanghai base.

So, he ignored the complaints of the people, but sighed at the rebels outside the city.

"I didn't expect it, Sun Tai raised his arms and shouted, and Sanwu responded to it all, if it was just the Five Doumi Sect making trouble, how could there be such a momentum?"

"Speaking of which, it is the father and son of the King of Huiji who are good at recruiting Le's family, which leads to the resentment of the people of Sanwu, which is really a mistake for the country."

As soon as the imperial court was mentioned, the officials of Wu County no longer bothered to complain to Liu Muzhi, and began to point the finger at the father and son of King Huiji.

For a while, the city was full of voices cursing the king of Huiji, and even Yuan Shansong couldn't help but complain.

It wasn't until Sima Xiuzhi reported the military situation that everyone shut up.

Sima Xiuzhi arched his hand to Yuan Shansong and said: "Yuan Taishou, although there are many thieves, the army is not in order. ”

"After a cursory look, I found that except for a few people who were neatly equipped, most of them were only holding wooden sticks in their hands."

"From this, it can be seen that this is not the elite of the Wudoumi Sect rebels, but a rabble."

"Therefore, with two thousand defenders in the city, it is more than enough to deal with them, so please don't worry."

Yuan Shansong was reminded by Sima Xiu, and hurriedly raised his eyes, and as he said, the thieves were loose and poorly equipped.

However, Wu Jun just breathed a sigh of relief, but he heard a burst of war drums from the city.

To the sound of war drums, more than 10,000 thieves slowly pressed towards the city wall, stopping beyond the range of bows and arrows.

In the end, more than ten people came out of the crowd, and the leader was in his thirties, who was the backbone of the Heavenly Master Dao, Wu Jun Lu Gui.

He swept the city with cold eyes, and shouted: "Where is the Taishou of Wu County? ”

Yuan Shansong forced his composure, leaned against the wall, and replied: "The old man is, who is you?" ”

Lu Gui arched his hand casually and said: "It turned out to be Yuan Fujun in person, and a certain is Lu Gui of Wu County." ”

"Right now, Sima Daozi favors treacherous and perverse acts, and the land of Sanwu is full of mourning."

"My Heavenly Master Dao is righteous in heaven, and I intend to set things right, so as to return the world to a good man."

"Wanwang Yuan Taishou don't go against the sky, take it as a mantis arm as a car!"

"If you surrender in Kaecheng, I will give you the credit of the Heavenly Master to ensure that you will enjoy glory and wealth in the Eternal Kingdom in the future."

Listening to Lu Gui's rebellious words below, Yuan Shansong was so angry that he burst into anger.

He shook the sleeves of his robe and said disdainfully: "Hmph! Sun Tai is a rebellious minister and thief, and the old man is inseparable from him. ”

Lu Gui was furious when he heard this, and said angrily: "Yuan Fujun, I'll give you one last chance." ”

"If you know the current affairs and surrender the city to my immortal army, you may be able to keep your family safe."

"Otherwise, once the army breaks through the city, you will be killed."

"Humph! If you want the old man to surrender to the thief, don't think about it! Yuan Shansong replied.

"Okay, okay, since you're looking for your own death, then don't blame you for being unkind. Come and besiege the city. ”

Just as Lu Gui turned around and wanted to leave, he heard an exclamation in his ear, be careful!

Lu Gui didn't know why, he just wanted to ask, but he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He looked down and saw a bloody arrow peeking out of his chest.

He struggled to turn his head to look behind him to see what was going on, only to see a man at the head of the city sneering at him.

The person who shot Lu Gui was Sima Xiuzhi, and the murder weapon was naturally the Hexi bed crossbow.

It turned out that as soon as Lu Gui appeared, Liu Muzhi found that the other party was standing within the range of the bed crossbow.

At the moment, he remained silent, secretly found Sima Xiuzhi, and asked him to shoot each other while Lu Gui and Yuan Shansong were answering.

As a result, Lu Gui, who came full of ambition, died under the city before he could show his bravery.

Seeing the scene in front of him, he was immediately stunned and stood motionless, as if time had stood still.

Only Sima Xiuzhi, the initiator, was not affected, he unhurriedly drew his horizontal knife and shouted: Kill the enemy!

This shout woke up the defenders at the head of the city.

They suddenly became highly motivated, forgot their fears, and followed Sima Xiu to kill the enemy one after another.

And with Lu Gui's death, the Heavenly Master Dao rebels immediately fell into a panic.

Under the continuous charging of the defenders, they finally had to rout.

"This ...... Is this a victory? It's too easy, isn't it? Yuan Shansong couldn't believe it.

"Fighting a war, sometimes it's that simple." Liu Muzhi's old god is in the road.

The others also looked like they had seen a ghost, and they couldn't believe that what was happening in front of them was real.

I thought that I would have to fight for days and nights before I could finally hope for reinforcements from the imperial court.
