"Lord of the city, the situation is not good."

"My lord, it's not good, we sent out, and the troops that suppressed the bandits have lost contact, and now there is no news."

"Lord of the City, please make a quick decision and see what to do?"

"Lord of the city, is it not arranged for people to become the people, and all of them will move to the city?"

Golden Dragon City, within the city lord's mansion.

A group of military generals and civil officials from the City Lord's Mansion gathered around the City Lord, their expressions were very serious.

Before the establishment of Golden Dragon City, there were bandits everywhere.

But when the Golden Dragon Gate was formed, the surrounding bandits have been decreasing. Hundreds of years ago, the lord of Zhongxing of the Golden Dragon Gate, united the surrounding people, and built the Golden Dragon City together, and completely protected the surrounding people.

At the same time, a new round of extermination was also started against the surrounding bandits.

In the following decades, the surrounding bandits were exterminated one after another. Decades later, for hundreds of years or so, there was no more banditry around.

It can be said that around Golden Dragon City, there are a few vacuum areas in the whole county that are not plagued by bandits.

"Is it that hundreds of years of peace are going to pass like this?"

The Golden Dragon Gate was canonized, and the contemporary Golden Dragon City Lord sighed, looked at his roof and said, "Can you investigate clearly, which side of the bandits crossed the border and ran to us?" ”

Seeing the City Lord's inquiry, a person who resembled the identity of a military general stood up and said, "Back to the City Lord, according to the information we currently know, the other party should be a group of well-trained, solid cultivation, and ruthless bandit team. And not just one, but several bandits. They don't know each other, so they are a little guarded. ”

"A few ......."

A trace of cold sweat instantly appeared on the face of the city lord, obviously he did not expect that the situation outside the city had become so bad.

"Yes. At what we know so far, there are at least four shares, some strong and some weak. ”

The military general in charge of intelligence thought for a moment and said, "Among them, the bandit force in the east is the strongest, and the cultivation of the bandit leader is unpredictable. But none of the spies we have appointed to the past will survive. ”

"So powerful."

After thinking for a while, the city lord continued, "Do they have any further actions, do they cross the border temporarily?" ”

"There is no further action, but they are watching my Golden Dragon City every day. From this, it can be seen that it was not necessarily a temporary crossing, but an intention to attack the city. ”

The military general in charge of intelligence responded with a wry smile.

"What an eventful time!" The lord of the city shook his head and said that he was very tragic, he had just become the lord of the city, and he had encountered such a tragic thing, how could you let him not be tragic.

Just as he sighed, the civil official standing beside him said, "Your Excellency. Let the people outside the city come back. ”

"Come back?"

The lord shook his head, changing his usual state. He said with a resolute expression: "If it was before, then it is true that they can be allowed to come back, but letting them come back now is equivalent to handing over the Golden Dragon City to those bandits outside the city who kill people without blinking, which is to put tens of millions to death." I would never do such a thing. ”

"Why?" The civil officials around him said with a puzzled face.

"Quite simply, because there must be an enemy spy or a spy among them."

The city lord of Golden Dragon City shook his head and said with a distressed expression: "The open management model that our Golden Dragon City has implemented. Therefore, for so many years, there is basically no registration of outsiders. In such a decision-making, in peacetime, there is naturally no problem. But in the war years, we will pay a heavy price, such as the current situation, which is undoubtedly beyond our control. ”

Hearing the city lord's narration, the people around him immediately understood the truth.

Those bandits are not the first time they came.

They have been here for a while, and they have eliminated the spies, and they have scanned and reconnoitred the Golden Dragon City. Therefore, the city lord of Golden Dragon City suspected that they had infiltrated and alienated the people outside the city.

It's a bit hard to hear, but it's something that can happen.

"By the way, I asked you to arrange for someone to go to the surrounding cities to ask for help, but what is the reply?" The lord of the city seemed to think of something again, so he turned to look at the other civil official.

"Back to the city lord, the people we sent out, there is no news to pass back at present, I am afraid that something has happened." The civil official, who was questioned by the lord of the city, sighed and said.

"Sure enough."

If the bandits don't leave, strangle the spies in the city, and kill the people who ask for help in the Golden Dragon City, then it is already destined that they are going to attack the Golden Dragon City.

"In that case, there's nothing left to hesitate."

The city lord of Golden Dragon City, there is still a certain level, otherwise he will not be able to accept the identity and status of the city lord, I saw him said to the surrounding Wenchen military generals: "From now on, immediately close the surrounding city gates, no matter who wants to enter, stop me under the city." And arrange for people to send messages to the residents of the city who are outside, telling them to go to other cities and not to come back, otherwise they will not open the city gates when they return. ”

"What if someone forcibly breaks in?" The military general asked.

"There is no mercy for killing."

The lord of the city said decisively: "In times of crisis, then it is necessary to implement heavy regulations, so no matter who you are, shoot me and leave no one behind." ”

"My subordinates understood." The general nodded.

"Very well, now that you have understood, then the defense of the city wall will be left to you with full authority." The lord of the city turned around and resisted this man who was in the Golden Dragon City, second only to himself in status, and in charge of military power: "The loss of the city will determine our future, so I hope you must guard the city wall, understand?" ”

"As long as the last general is at the moment, then it is absolutely guaranteed that the city wall will not be lost." The general nodded seriously, turned around and went out to get busy.

Seeing that he had gone to prepare, the city lord instructed the others: "From now on, the generals will go to the city wall to prepare for battle, organize defensive positions, and obey the orders of General Liu. The civil officials immediately went to the city and gathered the people in the city, and on the one hand explained that it was powerful. On the one hand, the whole city is mobilized to provide strong backing for the soldiers on the city walls who are ready to fight, understand? ”

"Yes."

"Let's do it."

"Don't worry, Lord Lord, we won't drop the chain at this time."

Everyone knows that once the city is broken. Then with the character of bandits, these people will definitely die without a place to be buried, so in order for them to survive, they must protect the city.

For yourself, for your family, for your loved ones, your loved ones, your friends...... They all had to show their spirit to deal with the next bandit siege.

The lively Castle Lord's Mansion. And so the tranquility returned.

The lord of the city, who was left alone, walked to the high platform, pushed open the window and looked at the people who were still living normally.

Fortunately, in recent times, Golden Dragon City has been on guard and mobilized, so the people in the city have already known some things about outside the city.

So when the officials of the City Lord's Mansion went out to mobilize, those people easily accepted the arrangement. And obey the orders of the officials, and act immediately.

"Popular hearts are available. The military spirit is available, and the rest depends on how the sect decides. ”

I saw the city lord walk out of the city lord's mansion and come all the way to the location of the Golden Dragon Gate in the back mountain.

"Senior Brother City Lord."

"Elder, you're back."

"Elder, when we are successful in learning and going down the mountain, you can give us a good position."

"Elder, you're back. Be sure to give us some pointers! ”

Golden Dragon City is nominally a city of the Holy Tang Empire, and is under the jurisdiction of the Holy Tang Empire. But there are some places, there are some privileges, such as the lord of the city. There must be a Golden Gate arrangement, and the appointment.

Of course, the chief soldier in the city, that is, the general soldier Liu who was appointed by the city lord to guard the city, was appointed by the local county guard.

"Don't worry, as long as you cultivate hard and wait for a vacancy in the City Lord's Mansion in the future, I will definitely give you priority arrangements." The lord of the city smiled and greeted the juniors inside the gate, and at the same time asked, "Lord of the gate, where is it?" ”

"The Lord of the Gate is in the Lord of the Gate's compound, waiting for the arrival of the Lord of the City." One replied.

"Your Excellency, you already know I'm coming?"

The city lord was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go first, and we'll talk later." ”

The lord of the castle flashed and disappeared into the crowd.

……

At the same time, a hidden location outside of Golden Dragon City.

It is full of towering trees, and it is impossible to penetrate at all. So I can only appoint soldiers and sneak in to investigate.

But the spies of Golden Dragon City, as soon as they entered the jungle, instantly fell to the ground, and there was no longer any life.

At this time, in the depths of the jungle, a group of people dressed as bandits temporarily built a camp.

Deep in the camp, inside an ornate tent.

"I didn't expect that the person from the Golden Dragon Gate had provoked so many enemies, and there were so many soldiers and horses, hiding around, waiting for the order to give the Golden Dragon Gate a fatal blow."

"Originally, it was only us, and if we wanted to destroy the Golden Dragon Gate, there would be some trouble, but with the participation of those people around us, I believe that it will be of great help to us to destroy the Golden Dragon Gate, and there will be fewer deaths."

"However, in this way, the profits after we sell will probably be relatively reduced."

"What benefits can the Golden Dragon Gate have? It's not that we laugh at them, living in such a desolate place, the capital that can be accumulated is not as good as a city under our Nangong family, if he hadn't offended the family master, I'm afraid we wouldn't have come here. ”

Destroying the door is just a goal.

The Nangong family dispatched so many people, so naturally it was impossible to return empty-handed.

And if there is a war, then there must be death.

Since the dead man, then it must be appeased.

The Nangong family gets their own consolation money, which is not what they want to see.

So they wanted to take something from the war and use it as a consolation money and a reward after the battle.

"What's so bad about giving them a piece and dying less?"

The leader of the Nangong family, the elder Nangong Mingyue, said calmly: "And after this stop, those families will have a handle, holding it in the palm of our hands, when the time comes, what do we let them do, don't they have to do anything?" ”

"The elder is wise."

The people of the Nangong family lit up one after another, as if they had thought of something, so they were happy one by one.

"Okay, the time is almost up, according to the instructions of the gate master, we must attack the city now, and take the Golden Dragon Gate today."

Elder Nangong Mingyue glanced at the sky, and then said to the henchmen of the Nangong family on the left and right: "You arrange a group of people to contact other family forces, and tell them that after an hour, they will immediately launch a general attack, and when the time comes, whoever grabs what first, then that thing will belong to whoever owns it." ”

"Elder, even so, I'm afraid they won't obey our orders, right?" Someone continued.

"There are benefits, and I am not afraid that they will not want it."

Nangong Mingyue smiled slightly, and said very calmly: "It's just that they are afraid that we will eat black." ”

"But Elder, how do we lower their vigilance?" Someone asked again.

"As soon as we start the siege, then they will let their guard down and join the siege sequence at the same time." Nangong Mingyue turned around with an evil smile on her face and said to her henchmen: "Those small families are not very strong, and their background is not very high, so they will definitely not give up the resources of the Golden Dragon Gate." ”

"My subordinates understood."

A henchman of the Nangong family nodded, turned around and started to get busy.

The rest of the people were calm and waited for Nangong Mingyue's arrangement.

Seeing that under everyone's attention, Nangong Mingyue thought for a while and said, "How many people of Golden Dragon City have we captured?" ”

"Elder Hui, he has been arrested, and the reward is three thousand." A core deacon of the Nangong family.

"Three thousand, that's not bad."

Nangong Mingyue nodded, and then ordered: "You arrange some people to hide in the crowd, disguise themselves as people from Golden Dragon City, and arrange some people to drive them to Golden Dragon City, and use them as bait to open the gates of Golden Dragon City." ”

"After opening, immediately attack the city gate and open an opening for my family's follow-up forces."

"If they don't open the gates, then slaughter me and slaughter fifty people a minute, until the slaughter is clean, understand?"

Nangong Mingyue's face was filled with a grim smile, obviously the life and death of thousands of people were not taken into account by him at all.

"My subordinates understood."

The people of the Nangong family nodded one after another, indicating that they accepted Nangong Mingyue's arrangement. Apparently this is not the first time they have experienced something similar.

Seeing this scene, Nangong Mingyue was very pleased, and then continued to them: "Since this is the case, then go down and prepare to attack the city." (To be continued......)
