Chapter 189: Confrontation at the City Gate (3rd Watch)

Wang Huaqiang's conversation with this old man Zhang attracted a lot of people to come up, and these people began to complain, on the one hand, showing their loyalty, on the other hand, they denounced themselves for being a rebel family member, and a few women cried and said that they wanted to cut off relations with their men, and after they went out, they found a man to write a letter of resignation and divorce themselves.

Wang Huaqiang watched these people's performances coldly, he still had a smile on his face, and kept praising their loyalty, disgusting that he had goosebumps, he was 100% sure that looking at how hard these people were, after they really got out of the city, I am afraid that these people will instigate the rebels outside the city to kill themselves first, and they must spare no effort.

Liu Quan came over at this time and said to Wang Huaqiang: "Wang joins the army, it's almost time." Wang Huaqiang nodded, turned around and walked to the gate, the people behind him rushed to follow him, as if he was born when he went out, Wang Huaqiang was proud in his heart, looking at the speed of these people going out of the city, without Feng Xiaoci and Liu Quan, they could run out in a moment, and they had to run faster after opening the city for a while, so as not to squeeze down from behind these people.

With the sound of a hinged turntable at the head of the city, there was a heavy loud bang through the gate, Wang Huaqiang knew that it was the sound of the drawbridge being lowered, and the crowd behind him also had a small commotion.

Wang Huaqiang turned his head and shouted in a deep voice to the people behind who had begun to squeeze forward: "Everyone listen, don't run forward in a swarm, since I lead everyone out of the city, I will definitely be responsible for everyone's lives, if you rush too fast, the rebels on the opposite side think that we are out of the city to fight." They will shoot us with arrows, and then we will die in vain. Hear no! ”

Old man Zhang also shouted to the back: "Did you hear it, Wang joined the army to save us." Let's listen to him well, don't crowd around, and go out of the city in order! ”

It seems that this old man Zhang has prestige among these people, and the crowd behind him gradually quieted down, and the sergeants defending the city took advantage of the situation to reline the people.

The two bolts on the city gate were removed, the heavy wooden gate was slowly opened, and the light outside shone through the deep doorway, Wang Huaqiang took a deep breath and strode forward. The people behind followed him closely, hurrying out of the city.

Due to the obvious increase in archers and crossbow machines on the city today, the enemy troops patrolling the city also discovered the abnormality early, thinking that the defenders were preparing to open the city, thousands of people rushed out and set up a formation on the flat ground north of the city.

Wang Huaqiang held a flag in his hand, which was a white tiger, but painted more like a giant panda, and it was said to be an ancient auspicious beast. Eating only the flesh of animals that died naturally, not killing, and painting on flags can be used as a sign of the truce ordered by the Son of Heaven.

Two Jin Dynasty periods. The effect of this Yu Banner is very obvious, during the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, there were officials who held this Yu Banner to the camp of the rebel King of Chu. As a result, the subordinates of the king of Chu, who had the advantage of troops, all knelt down and surrendered when they saw this flag, and the unlucky king of Chu was probably depressed before cutting off his head. Why is his army of tens of thousands not as good as a flag?

Until the Eastern Jin Dynasty crossed to the south, this Yu Banner still served as the emperor from time to time to persuade peace. The props used to mediate attacks between warlords, similar to the banners of the United Nations peacekeeping forces in later generations, are still very useful.

Today's Wang Huaqiang went out of the city with this flag, with this thing, it is a sign of a truce, and I think the rebels will not release arrows at this flag and the refugees who follow behind.

Wang Huaqiang saw the enemy army on the opposite side of the drawbridge, and had put down the horse rejecting deer, hundreds of archers were taking arrows on their bows, aiming at themselves nervously, and behind the archers, there was a spear forest lance, but Wang Huaqiang found at a glance that most of these people had no armor, and it was rare for dozens of people to wear leather armor, and most of the long lances they carried were just tied with a blade on a wooden stick, and even the clothes were colorful, and the only thing that could be unified was the earthy yellow turban.

Wang Huaqiang had seen the equipment of these rebels when he was lurking in the mountains in the past two days, and he thought that those were patrol troops and would not wear armor, but he didn't expect that even the main battle troops coming out of these regular battalions were so shabby, no wonder Yang Su was full of confidence, and he didn't take these 50,000 or 60,000 people in his eyes at all, but regarded them as tens of thousands of people who promoted the brothers and made a fortune.

But now, after all, there are hundreds of arrows aimed at him, and it is not his turn to hold it up, Wang Huaqiang shouted loudly while waving the flag: "Brothers on the other side, I am bringing your family out, there is no malice, please don't be nervous." ”

The rebels stood out a man of about twenty years of age, dressed in leather armor and a leather helmet, with a black face and beard, two goldfish eyes protruding from his sockets, and a sword at his waist, who looked like a general, and he shouted: "Stop! If we don't stand still, we're going to release arrows! ”

Wang Huaqiang hurriedly stopped, and the people behind also stopped, and the two sides began to shout in the air at both ends of the suspension bridge.

"The general opposite, I am Wang Huaqiang, a soldier under General Huangfu, taking your family out of the city, I have something important to see General Gu Ziyuan, please make it convenient!"

"We don't tremble with Sui Dog, if we know each other, let the people come out, and you yourself will return to the city early, otherwise we will shoot you into a hedgehog first!"

"Haha, general, Wang dared to go out of the city alone, standing at the front of the line, he had already put life and death out of the way, you can see clearly, these are the families of the brothers who followed your rebellion, if you want to shoot, shoot it."

Wang Huaqiang said as he took a step forward and walked onto the suspension bridge, he knew that now the head of the city was also facing the rebels on the opposite side, if any guy who didn't open his eyes couldn't hold his hand nervously for a while, and shot the arrow, it must be the arrows on both sides like rain, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for himself.

The general on the opposite side shouted: "Don't go, if you go again, you will really release arrows!" As he spoke, he picked up a bow and arrow from the hands of the soldiers next to him, and shot an arrow, which was nailed less than three steps in front of Wang Huaqiang, and the long pole and arrow body swayed back and forth, buzzing.

Wang Huaqiang laughed, his feet didn't stop, he ripped off the clothes on his chest, revealing two strong chest muscles, a deep arrow wound on his left shoulder was clearly visible, he said loudly as he walked: "Come on, come on, Your Excellency has good archery skills, shoot at my chest, it shouldn't miss." ”

The general's face changed, the muscles on his dark face jumped, and he roared: "Do you really think that Lao Tzu doesn't dare to shoot?" As he spoke, he drew another arrow and hit it on the string.

Wang Huaqiang stopped, he knew that this guy looked fierce and impulsive, maybe he would really do it, and he couldn't stand up to it too fiercely now, but he shouted in a deep voice: "I said, I want to see you General Gu Ziyuan, you are a little general, why should you make a decision for your general?" At the very least, you have to report this to your General Gu. ”

The general gritted his teeth and said: "Don't ask General Gu, our brothers here are all with Sui Dogs, everyone has relatives and friends who were killed by Sui Dogs, hmph, I know you Sui dogs, full of rhetoric, don't you just want us to lay down our weapons and be recruited by you?" Don't! I, Liu Yuanjin, will not be fooled by you. Look at your posture, there must be an ambush behind you! ”

The old Zhang Tou shouted: "Yuan Jin, look at me, I'm Uncle Zhang." ”

Liu Yuanjin glanced at Lao Zhang's head, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes: "Uncle Zhang? Is it really you? Are you all right? ”

Lao Zhangtou nodded excitedly and said: "Yuan Jin, this Wang Senjun really came out alone to negotiate, there are no ambushes behind us, you can rest assured." ”

Liu Yuanjin glanced at Wang Huaqiang, and the bow and arrow in his hand did not mean to put down at all: "I don't believe it, Uncle Zhang, Sui Dog is cunning, the last battle of Baishigang, I saw with my own eyes that they even killed their own people in order to win, I said that I would not believe them."

And look at this guy, he is obviously a Hu man, the most untrustworthy, Hou Jing's dog thief who killed a thousand knives is such a Hu man, is our Jiangnan Hu dog loss less? ”

Liu Yuanjin was foaming at the mouth and scolding, but he heard a majestic voice behind him: "Yuanjin, stand down!" (To be continued......)
