Chapter 234: Pirates Attack
readx;?“ Anyone can say that, and the previous prefectural magistrate also said this when he first took office. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But when he encountered the bandits, he wilted and left Huang County in a gloomy manner. Your words, who can believe them. ”
"Empty words, open your mouth and come, only fools believe it."
"What officials are best at is telling lies, and being thick and black-hearted is their most basic ability. Don't trust him, or we'll be the ones who will suffer in the end. Over the years, have the people of our Huang County suffered less? ”
One by one, the people looked suspicious.
Wang Yan frowned, his eyes swept over the people around him, and he said in a deep voice: "Even if I say a thousand words, the villagers will not believe it. Rather than that, give me a little time. I believe that time will give the real answer. During this period, I don't ask the villagers to trust me, I don't ask the villagers to support me, I just ask the villagers to be more tolerant and less hit, okay? ”
Facing the people, Wang Yan lowered his posture.
At this moment, the people hesitated. In the perception of the people, the officials appointed by the imperial court, whether they are county commanders or county magistrates, are all high-ranking lords, and they are not seen once a year, and they are separated from them by 108,000 miles.
The young man in front of him is too old, but his words are sincere, and he lowers his posture.
This attitude makes the people impeccable.
After all, Wang Yan does not ask for trust or support, but only asks the people to be more tolerant and give them a little more time.
Such a request is impossible to refuse.
Moreover, Wang Yan is too shou after all, and it is not easy for too shou to say this.
"That's it, I'll give you a chance."
After all, there were soft-hearted people in the crowd who opened their mouths to speak.
The rest of the people are not easy to blame.
"The pirates are coming, the pirates are coming again, close the gates and prepare for battle."
The panicked and hurried voice came from the official road far outside the city. Immediately afterwards, the people walked like flies and quickly rushed towards the city gate.
In an instant, the people of the city were in action.
"Beat the drum and call on the people of the city to come to their aid and prepare to fend off the pirates."
"Immediately prepare weapons to defend the city, and prepare boulders, sasswoods, etc., on the castle tower, and prepare for defense."
"Tell the people to enter the city and avoid being attacked."
Without Wang Yan's order, the people acted quickly, and everything was very familiar and not chaotic at all.
This scene moved Wang Yan.
This group of people in Huang County is a group of people with blood and backbone.
Such a group of people deserves respect.
"Little Taishou, the pirates are here, these pirates are so cruel that they even kidnap people. Retreat quickly into the city, lest you be taken captive. Your soldiers also retreat. We don't ask you to resist the enemy, just don't make trouble. ”
The people in command spoke kindly, but there was no doubt about it.
In this battle, they did not pin their hopes on Wang Yan.
Wang Yan's expression was serious, and he commanded in a deep voice: "Huang Zhong, immediately return to the city to gather the army, and bring my overlord gun." I'll stay here and direct the soldiers to participate in the resistance, and the time will be fast. ”
"No"
Huang Zhong nodded, turned around and ran towards the city.
In all kinds of planning, people are not as good as heaven. Wang Yan worked hard to establish his prestige, and Huangxian was suddenly attacked by pirates, at this time, it was the time for Wang Yan and his army to come forward, and it was time to win back the hearts of the people.
Crunch
In a short time, the gates of the city were closed.
A part of the people were left under the tower to guard the city gate, and the rest of the people climbed up the tower.
Wang Yan took the accompanying soldiers to the city tower, and this time he traveled, he only brought a team of ten soldiers, plus ten conscripted soldiers at the city gate, it was only twenty people.
This force is too small after all.
Dian Wei guarded Wang Yan's left and right, his eyes solemn.
Wang Yan said: "Dian Wei, after the pirates are killed, you don't care about me and kill the enemy with all your might." ”
Dian Wei looked stubborn, shook his head and said, "The safety of the lord is more important than everything. I will do my best to kill the enemy, but I must also protect the safety of my lord. ”
Wang Yan nodded and did not persuade again.
At this time, the people on the city tower saw Wang Yan coming up with him, and persuaded him: "Little Taishou, this is a battlefield, not a child's play, and people will die." At your age, you shouldn't come out to fight, hurry back to the city. Your kindness, we accepted. But you're coming up, and we're not only going to fight off the pirates, we're also going to be distracted to keep you safe, and you're going to get us in trouble. ”
"Pirates are small, but they are extremely flexible. These people are very murderous and even more ferocious. You're going to distract us by staying on this. ”
The people looked nervous, as if they were facing a great enemy, and they looked at Wang Yan's eyes, still not believing.
However, there was a trace of hostility in his eyes.
Regardless of whether Wang Yan could resist or not, he dared to go up to the city tower to resist the pirates together, but he did his best.
Wang Yan said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Don't worry, everyone, even if I can't resist it, I still have guards to protect me." Look at the guard around me, he is big and strong in martial arts, and he is strong enough to keep me safe. ”
For the people, Wang Yan did not explain how strong and powerful his martial arts were. He is not as tall and big as Dian Wei, and he is empty talking, but it is easy to make the people suspicious.
"Knock Knock"
The majestic sound of war drums sounded inside and outside the city.
Waves of people gathered from all sides of the city and quickly approached the city.
Not long after, on the official road outside the city, there was a crowd of black oppression.
"Kill and kill into Huang County."
The sound of shouting and killing came into the city.
The sound of the pirates rising and falling one after another terrified the hearts of the people on the castle tower.
However, no matter how ferocious the pirates were, the people had a look of death on their faces. One by one, the steel teeth clenched and clenched the weapons in their hands. The weapons of the common people are very rudimentary, some are clubs, some are iron forks, some are short knives, and they are all unified. This is such a group of civilians who swear to resist the attack of pirates.
The pirates quickly approached and soon began to siege the city.
The city wall of Huangxian County is only about one zhang, and this height plays a very small role.
Ladders were set up on the walls, and the pirates sprinted. Under the castle tower, there are also pirates who keep banging on the city gates, intending to attack the city directly.
The two sides used the city wall as a point of battle and started a fight.
Wang Yan took out the three-edged thorn he carried with him, and kept killing the pirates who rushed up. At the same time, he visually measured the number of pirates, looked at the overwhelming number of pirates, and roughly estimated that there were at least a thousand pirates, or even more.
"Kill"
Wang Yan was like a ghost, shuttling through the city tower. Everywhere they went, the pirates kept falling.
Dian Wei followed Wang Yan's side, the two iron halberds in his hands flew up and down, where the iron halberd crossed, the pirates fell down like chopping melons and vegetables, and the pirates who died in Dian Wei's hands all died miserably.
The two of them ran rampant on the city tower 0, and the momentum was terrifying.
This scene has attracted the attention of hundreds of people.
The people were originally not optimistic about Wang Yan, and they all thought that Wang Yan would drag his feet, but at this moment, seeing that Wang Yan was very spicy and skilled in killing the enemy, they all widened their eyes. Immediately, it was even more encouraging. Taishou is so brave to kill the enemy, let alone them? For a time, the morale of the people who resisted was like a rainbow. But Wang Yan and Dian Wei are two people after all, and there are only more than 20 soldiers around them, which is too small. Although the people are numerous, the people are too weak in battle.
Under the continuous attack of the pirates, the defense line on the castle tower is precarious.
"Boom"
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in the city.
A group of cavalry rushed forward, and behind the cavalry, heavily armed soldiers.
This army quickly approached the gate of Huangxian County, and it was murderous.
Wang Yan's eyes fell on the front of the cavalry, and the person leading the troops was Huang Zhong. Wang Yan was overjoyed and ordered: "Reinforcements are coming, open the city gate, and kill them." ”
"Open the gates, kill out"
Under the city tower, the people who resisted quickly opened the city gate.
