Chen Lin, who was the magistrate of Yizhou County at the time, offered the plan of "razing and destroying the city", and went to the Yizhou Assassin's Mansion overnight to discuss the implementation of the plan with the Assassin Shi Chongzhi, Chen Lin returned to the county to reorganize the armament, rush to repair the city wall, and actively guard against the siege of the Yi people.

There are only a few bantam horses in Gao County to use to transmit messages, Chen Lin did not dare to use these horses as scouts, and simply did not care about the situation of the people outside the city, Chen Lin asked the city gates on the east, west and south sides of the county to be sealed and blocked, leaving only the north gate to be opened. Chen Lin and the three of them originally lived in the county government, but now Chen Lin does not even live in the county government, and lives directly with the soldiers defending the city at the head of the barracks, Chen Lin and the defenders share weal and woe and get the admiration of everyone, Chen Lin's prestige is higher than that of Zhao Xiao, the county lieutenant who has been in the county for two years. Under the leadership of Chen Lin, the young and strong people of the 1,000-rate high county will be able to defend the high county.

At this time, Chen Lin was directing the people to repair the city wall on the wall, and the county lieutenant Zhao Xiao and Zhao Tianhua came over and said to Chen Lin: "My lord is talking in a hurry." As soon as Chen Lin saw Zhao Xiao mysteriously, he retreated with Zhao Xiao to a no-man's corner, and Zhou Cang Huang Yan stood far away from letting people approach. Zhao Xiao said: "My lord, my lord ordered the young and strong people in the county to guard or rush to repair the city wall, but for the sake of the safety of the whole county. But now there is a person in this county who has more than 100 young people, but he refuses to contribute to my high county, your lord, look? ”

Chen Lin knew that this was probably a big household in the county, so he hurriedly asked Zhao Xiao what the situation was. It turns out that there is only one large family in this high rate county, and the family with the surname is quite powerful in the high rate county, and the owner calls the word kerry. This Jukeri was determined to fight the barbarians to the end after the former county magistrate, so he had many disputes with the former county magistrate, and actually had some dealings with the Yi people in this mountain, thinking that the Yi people would not endanger themselves even if they broke the city. Finally, the former county magistrate died in the Yiren siege, and Chen Lin came, and he even had to close the city to fight, so that he could no longer do business with the Yiren, and he lost a lot of income, so he simply collected his own family's hundreds of families into the house, regardless of what was going on outside.

After Chen Lin heard this, he was angry, and everyone set up a way to defend the county with a high rate and avoid being plundered, and this home was actually watched from the wall. Chen Lin said: "Let's go" to visit the unexpected, Zhao Xiao hurriedly said: "My lord, you need to call more people to avoid being assassinated." Chen Lin's eyes were fierce after hearing this: "Hmph, this rate is not the turn of lawlessness at home in the county." After summoning Zhou Cang, Huang Yan followed Zhao Xiao and took the two sergeants to the residence.

It happened to be the housekeeper who was full of profiteers at home who opened the door, Chen Lin and the others reported their names and said their intentions, but the housekeeper ignored the county elder, and just raised his head and said: "Well, my lord, wait a minute, let me pass the master." Peng slammed the door shut, leaving Chen Lin and his party outside the door with a stunned expression. Zhao Xiao hurriedly said: "My lord, look at this home. Zhou Cang said, "Rong went and smashed this door." ”

Chen Lin was calm, but he had a little more scheming in his heart. After a while, the housekeeper came out again, and said in a gloomy voice: "My old man is invited." Chen Lin didn't care about these villains, he walked straight in, and saw a fat middle-aged man sitting in the hall, dressed in gorgeous clothes, but without any luxury, Zhao Xiao whispered that this was Jukri.

Chen Lin stepped forward with a smile on his face: "This official has first come to Gao County, and he has been busy for several days, and he has never worshiped Mr. Ju, and he is guilty of sin." Chen Lin lowered his body and thought to himself that it would be bad if he could successfully achieve his goal, but he didn't want to say that he actually said: "It's okay, it's okay" and completely regarded himself as an senior. Where could Zhou Cang stand such rude treatment of his eldest young master, and shouted: "Seeing that the county elder dares to be rude." ”

However, as soon as Zhou Cang shouted, many people with swords and swords jumped out from all sides, and Chen Lin also jumped, and he actually dared to ambush himself. Zhao Xiao and the others hurriedly drew their knives to surround Chen Lin, and Zhao Xiao shouted: "Jukri, this is the county elder, can you rebel?" As soon as Chen Lin heard the word rebellion that Zhao Xiao said, he looked at Zhou Cang, and saw that Zhou Cang had untied the big knife. Chen Lin had already treated each other with courtesy, and he still dared to act like this, and now it was the stage of war, Chen Lin didn't want to spend more time dealing with this family, and shouted to Zhou Cang: "Zhou Cang, capture this person." ”

There were actually four or five people guarding in front of him, thinking that he was safe, but unfortunately he met Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang only had one way to kill, and he swept with a knife, and no matter whether it was a person or a horse on the other side, he had to be cut into two pieces. Those few people used knives to block, where could they block it, several knives were cut off like branches, and the outer ones were swept into two sections by Zhou Cang's big knife from their chests, and the blood in their internal organs was splashed so much that they screamed. Before the people at home outside could react, their master was grabbed by Zhou Cang's left hand and lifted up, still in front of Chen Lin.

Chen Lin lowered his head with a smile on his face and said, "Master Ju still doesn't let those minions lay down their weapons?" After speaking, he smiled again, but in his eyes, it was so terrifying, it seemed that he was frightened by Zhou Cang.

When Chen Lin left the house, he took five hundred taels of gold with him and a hundred strong men, but these strong men were no longer domestic slaves, but free people. These 100 people got rid of their slave status and saved five taels of gold given by the "generous" master Ju, and they were grateful to Chen Lin, and Chen Lin asked Zhao Xiao to arrange these young people.

After two days of calm, on the third day, people began to gather outside the southern city, Chen Lin hurriedly ordered the rush to repair the city wall to return to the city, and Zhao Xiao and others watched the movements outside the city at the head of the wall. The Yi people outside the city gathered more and more, and by noon there were about 2,000 people, and the Yi people did not understand that the city was surrounded on all sides, so they only came to the south. The barbarians in the north are good at horse warfare, and the Yi people in the south are good at fighting in the forests and mountains, but whether it is the barbarians in the south or the barbarians in the north, they are not good at attacking cities.

Chen Lin saw that the Yi people formed an irregular team to the south gate, and did not see a rear team, so he hurriedly ordered, the north gate is the active city gate, leave 100 soldiers, leave 50 each of the east and west gates, and leave 100 in the city to do four sides of the support, the rest all come to the south gate, and there are nearly 700 people at the south gate for a while. Chen Lin stood on the wall and watched these people carry rolling stones and arrows in a panic, thinking in his heart, I don't know how many more people are going to die here, and his eyes are sad. Huang Yan saw it really and said to Chen Lin: "Big young master, one person dies, and a hundred people live." Chen Lin looked at Huang Yan, and instantly became full of fighting spirit, yes, one person died to protect the lives of hundreds of people, so let yourself fight first.

Chen Lin looked at the 2,000 Yi people who were slowly advancing outside the city, and thought to himself that there were 700 people guarding the city, it must not be a problem, as long as they held for half a day, the reinforcements of the Taishou would arrive. Chen Lin summoned Zhao Xiao and shouted to all the sergeants: "County Lieutenant Zhao obeys the order" Zhao Xiao stepped forward and knelt down: "Zhao Xiao is in" "Order Zhao County Lieutenant to be the main general of this battle, and those who disobey the order will be beheaded." He whispered to Zhao Xiao again: "This official doesn't know the military, and Lord Wangxian County won't harm my life." After saying that, he laughed out loud, and actually made a joke about Zhao Xiao.

Chen Lin knew in his heart that he was still inferior to Zhao Xiao for the defense of the city, but Zhao Xiao was also a person who had gone through the war. Zhao Xiao heard that Chen Lin ordered him to be a general, his eyes were moist, and he called the county magistrate righteous in his heart.

Chen Lin stepped aside and said to Zhou Cang and Huang Yan: "You two have to study hard and see how County Lieutenant Zhao commands." Zhou Cang's face didn't matter, but Huang Yan nodded seriously.

The Yiren team stopped a hundred paces away, it seemed that the Yiren still had a commander, and Chen Lin thought it was just a group of people who were formed improvised and chaotic. Chen Lin saw that one of the Yi people walked out, and he was even wider than Zhou Cang, but he was a little shorter and a little darker, and the man grunted and shouted at the wall for a while, and he didn't know what to say. Zhou Cang looked at this person, and he was happy: "Ugly ghost and ugly ghost" will go down to fight that person. Chen Lin knew Zhou Cang's temperament, grabbed Zhou Cang, pointed to the city gate, and blocked it, Zhou Cang sighed. Huang Yan said: "If the big bow left in Anyang is brought, you must shoot him with an arrow." "Chen Lin went to Luoyang, and everyone only brought horses and knives, not bows and arrows, and now they can't shoot so far with ordinary bows in the county, so Huang Yan said so.

Chen Lin saw that Zhao Xiao didn't pay attention to Yiren, and was only busy directing everyone to move the armaments and materials, boiling the water to a boiling hot surface, thinking that this pot of boiling water was poured on his body, and even Zhou Cang's rough skin trembled in his heart. The Yiren muttered, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him on the wall, he whined angrily, and the Yiren brigade behind him rushed forward, carrying ladders to the city wall, and there were no large siege equipment such as crashing wood and ladders.

Chen Lin said in his heart, here. I saw that Zhao Xiao was not in a hurry, his hand pressed back against everyone, and shouted: "Without my order, you are not allowed to shoot arrows, steady, steady, steady, put on the arrow, draw the bow, shoot." Zhao Xiao looked at the Yiren troops, and while giving the order in order, he waited until he entered the range of the bow and arrow, and when he gave the order, Chen Lin also acted according to the order, putting on the arrow, drawing the bow, and shooting, and the seven hundred arrows flew away, but he saw that he flew away like a dark cloud. Zhao Xiao didn't care about the arrow that was shot, and ordered: "Get on the arrow, draw the bow, shoot." After Zhao Xiao fired three volleys in a row, the enemy had already reached the wall, but Chen Lin couldn't see how many people had died at this time, but his eyes were full of enemies who were shouting and running forward.

Zhao Xiao ordered to attack at will, at this time, there were those who continued to draw their bows and shoot arrows, those who drew their knives and looked at the wall stacks nervously, as long as someone showed their heads, it was a knife, and some picked up stones and wood and smashed them at a glance, screaming everywhere, Chen Lin just pulled the bow and shot the arrow over and over again, and there was no need to look at it, the wall was full of people, how could he not shoot.

After the Yiren approached the wall, arrows began to fly up the city wall, hitting the people on the wall, Chen Lin saw his own defenders screaming and falling from time to time, and the people next to him didn't have time to care. If he is shot to death, he dies, and if he is not killed, he falls to the side, clutches at the wound, and screams and weeps, which is very miserable.

Chen Lin had tears in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and pulled out his bow and shot arrows, and no one could enter Chen Lin's side, and occasionally climbed the wall in this section, which was not enough for Zhou Cang to cut it alone. More than 700 people were crammed into the city wall on one side, which was more than one mile and less than two miles, how could it be so easy to attack. Seeing that only their own people had fallen, but they couldn't climb the city wall, they slowly retreated with a loud cry, and there was a cheer on the wall.
