Under an inconspicuous dirt slope, dozens of horsemen lurked here, tied to a group of war horses not far away, all of them were tied to the wood, and the horses' hooves were wrapped in cloth, so as not to make a noise to alarm the Baibo army in the distance, and to attack the Baibo army of nearly 1,000 people with more than 30 people was tantamount to looking for death.

The best way is to sneak attack at night, but it is late in the evening, and there are still several hours before the dead of night, and Gongsun Yi does not know whether this precarious county town can withstand the onslaught of the Baibo army and hold on until late at night.

Gongsun Yi crouched in the grass, and saw from a distance that the White Wave Army rushed to the city from time to time, Gongsun Yi was amazed, worthy of the Yellow Turban Thief who fought with the Xiliang Army at the beginning, after the baptism of blood and fire, the combat effectiveness of the White Wave Army was surprisingly strong.

From time to time rushed to the head of the city to rely on the wall battlements are very brave, can always be one as five, kill the city head of a group of defenders will be frightened, do not dare to step forward at all, although the number of soldiers defending the city is quite a lot, but was suppressed by the momentum of the white wave army, if it is not for the lack of the white wave army to attack the rope ladder, I am afraid that Shuo County has already broken the city.

Shuoxian City Mansion, the county magistrate Cui Yong walked back and forth, his face was full of panic, and the constant shouting and killing sounds outside the city made his heart hang again and again, once the city was broken, it was difficult for others to say, Cui Yong, as the county order, must be the target of the Bai Bo Army's clearance, in order to deter everyone, his family naturally could not be spared.

"Someone!" Suddenly, Cui Yong seemed to have made up his mind, and said to the guards who stepped in: "You can go to the prison, take all the prisoners inside to the city, and tell them that as long as you hold the city, you will not be responsible for your past mistakes, and if you can kill the enemy, the county magistrate will have a heavy reward!" ”

"My lord, what should they do if they make a mess and run away?"

"Order the county lieutenant to take the supervising team, all those who dare to escape from the battle and disturb the morale of the army, there is no need to scruple to kill them on the spot!"

Originally, it was a big crime for private prisoners to abuse lynching, but seeing that the situation was critical, Cui Yong couldn't take care of it, if the city was broken, he would definitely die, especially if he was killed, it was better to give up his life, but before that, he had to let the county shed the last drop of blood for him.

In the dim cell, a group of prisoners sat on the haystack with blank eyes, and the chaotic times used heavy codes, and the county town governed by Cui Yong had strict criminal laws, and they were whipped and imprisoned at every turn.

It's just that with the passage of time, Cui Yong's original concept has long changed, and some county officials have fabricated charges to arrest people in order to curry favor with the county commander Cui Yong, and more and more innocent people have been thrown into prison.

The cells were already overcrowded, and the seemingly calm county town was already in turmoil, and even when the White Polish army was attacking the city, some people preferred it to enter the city, perhaps to rescue their family members who were imprisoned.

A handsome man in his early forties dressed in a wide robe and a strange appearance was very cautious to probe the thin old man who fell to the ground and was dying.

"If he is not saved, he will surely die."

"Anyway, maybe I'll be beheaded one day, but it's a blessing to die like this."

The prisoners around him who were also locked in the prison smiled lightly, laughing numbly, everyone knew very well that as long as they entered this prison, they would never get out alive, and if they were lucky, they would live a little longer, and they would have to please the jailers in every possible way.

Many of them were either sick and died or starved to death, and the prisoners lived like pigs and dogs, and they were originally sympathetic to these people who were about to die, but as time went by, they slowly became numb after seeing more.

The handsome man in his early forties turned a deaf ear to these sackcloths, and suddenly squeezed the old man's heart and lungs with his palm, and the old man who was dying for a while snorted miserably, and there was a sudden burst of angry scolding around him, secretly blaming the man for bullying the dying man.

It's just that more people just look on coldly, and it doesn't matter to themselves, as long as their interests are not violated, who will care about the old man who is about to die.

Suddenly, the old man vomited a mouthful of dark red blood, and sat up carefully with the support of the handsome man, although his face was extremely pale, his complexion improved significantly.

"Engong, I feel much more comfortable." As soon as the old man's voice fell, everyone was in an uproar, but he didn't expect this handsome man in his early forties to actually save the dying person, could it be that he couldn't use demon magic?

The handsome man got up and said: "In Xia Zhang Zhongjing, he is a doctor, this time he is here especially for the typhoid epidemic, the situation is urgent and cannot be delayed, can you help me get out of the cell as soon as possible?" ”

When everyone heard that the Langmu man in front of them was a doctor, they were immediately in awe, the war raged in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and only a few doctors went around to treat diseases and save people, and their status in the people was extremely high, otherwise Zhang Jiao raised his arms and shouted, and there would not be so many people to follow around.

A sturdy man clasped his fists and saluted Zhang Zhongjing and said: "Zhang Gong, this prison is jokingly called the life and death room, no one is close, and the people who can enter this place have never gone out, but with Zhang Gong's ability, as long as he tells the jailer that he is a doctor, he will definitely be able to regain his freedom." ”

"What have you done? Why are you imprisoned here? Zhang Zhongjing saw that this person was powerful, and his speech and demeanor were calm and indifferent, so he couldn't help but ask casually.

"To tell you the truth, in Xia Tangyang, who was originally a chief under the county lieutenant, was convicted of stealing and imprisoned because he was not used to seeing the officials and soldiers arbitrarily fabricate charges to arrest the people." The words are embarrassing.

"How's that okay?"

Zhang Zhongjing sighed slightly, although he really wanted to rescue the imprisoned people, but he was just a doctor, and he couldn't move the county order Cui Yong at all, not to mention that even if he was released from the prison, the city gate that had been blocked couldn't get out at all, seeing that the typhoid fever was getting stronger and stronger, Zhang Zhongjing had no idea for a while.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps from outside, and more than a dozen soldiers rushed into the barracks, among which the leading officer looked around coldly and said proudly: "You have all committed a big crime, there is no hope of getting out of prison in this life, this matter The thieves are attacking the city very urgently, Lord Cui ordered you to wait to go to the city to kill the enemy, if you can defend the city, the responsibility for the previous crimes will be written off, and if you can kill the thieves, there will be a heavy reward." ”

As soon as the officer's voice fell, a group of prisoners whispered, especially many people who were sentenced to death were eager to try, especially to die here, it was better to fight to the death, Zhang Zhongjing traveled all over the place, and saw many wars, this seems to be a lenient policy, just to let these death row prisoners be sent to death, and the battlefield fight is far more cruel than imagined.

The officer seemed impatient to wait, and immediately ordered the sergeant to bring him to the cell, and even those who did not want to go were forced to come out of the prison under the coercion of punches, kicks, and sharp blades, and finally saw the light of day, but it was not a good thing for these people.

The officer was just about to come up and pull the old man who was leaning against the wall and was dying, but Zhang Zhongjing stepped forward and stopped him loudly: "This military master, there is a doctor below, this person is too weak to go, please be merciful." ”

"Healer? Lao Tzu is still the third prince! Take! The officer sneered.

A group of prisoners released from the prison were escorted by soldiers towards the city defense, but soon the terrible screams came from far and near, and everyone who had planned to fight to the death regretted it.

At the same time, some armor soldiers stepped forward, threw their blades to the people, and urged them to go to the city, and some of them were beaten violently by a group of armor soldiers, and several people who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to escape were shot with bows and arrows, and fear continued to spread in the hearts of everyone.

Zhang Zhongjing was given a slightly rusty knife, his brows furrowed for a while, he came to save people in a hurry, but he didn't expect to be put on the city for defense, Zhang Zhongjing, who had never used a blade, sighed slightly, but regretted that he shouldn't have come to the county seat to ask for help.

At this moment, a big man came to Zhang Zhongjing's side, it was the man who called himself Tang Yang before, who was holding a bow and arrow, casually stuffed it to Zhang Zhongjing, took the Pu knife and walked towards the city.

Soon the officer in charge of defending the city took a group of prisoners to the city, and Zhang Zhongjing and several others were divided among the archers, and the officers hurriedly came to tell the essentials, lest these people shoot themselves.

Seeing that Tang Yang was about to step forward, suddenly there was a cheer from the city, it turned out that the Bai Bo army saw that it was getting late, and the besieging general ordered the whole army to return, anyway, this Shuo County is a boiled duck can't run.

Seeing the White Polish Army slowly retreating, the defenders at the head of the city erupted in earth-shattering cheers, celebrating this hard-won victory, but many people did not realize whether they could stop the White Polish Army from attacking again tomorrow.
