Chapter 568: Self-Help

When the siege ladder moved from the army was erected high, the officers and soldiers defending the city began to panic.

Although Wucheng is a military town, it is also prosperous because of its geographical location and economy. But the people who can really fight are in the barracks. These officers and soldiers guarding the city, but since the first day they came here, they have been on an errand to defend the city. Not to mention fighting, many people have not even fought a few times.

At first glance, in the face of these robbers who are like wolves and tigers, rolling out of the sea of swords and blood, even if they have learned more art of war and practiced countless formations, they are still obvious and timid when they really face the battle of life and death.

Especially since the city gate officials are dead, and without a leader, they are like a flock of cowardly sheep that have lost their heads.

Obviously, they all have the same weapons, and their physical strength is not necessarily lost to these robbers, but they just don't dare to fight, and they don't dare to fight.

And the most important thing that determines the war is morale.

Seeing that the robbers quickly brandished their swords and rushed up to the castle tower, they were about to lower the drawbridge and break the city gates. The rampant and smug on Yu Liang's face couldn't be concealed.

As long as the gates of the city are breached, as long as they can rush in and shout, the people will be in chaos.

When the time comes, burn, kill and plunder, isn't it to let them do whatever they want?

As for the beautiful girl, even if she has the guards of the Manchurian mansion, it is impossible to escape.

That's the power of troubled times.

Think about the Ganzhou Rebellion that year, how many big families collapsed overnight and disappeared.

It's not because they don't fight or resist, but in the troubled times, the power of individuals and clans is too small and extremely difficult to preserve.

Yu Liang could almost see that the moment to trample the beauty under his feet was coming.

Didn't she look down on herself and refuse to marry her?

Then let her be ravaged to death by these robbers in front of her own eyes, it must be extremely interesting!

A cruel and bloody smile tugged at the corners of his lips, and Yu Liang ordered the robbers to lift the siege tree and crash into the city gate.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The loud sound shook people's eardrums.

And this fire rushed to the sky, and the sound of killing was bursting, which had already disturbed many people in the north of the city, and their hearts panicked. They are all in the mood for the holidays, and they don't know what happened, so they don't dare to come out to see.

For a time, all kinds of speculation and all kinds of rumors began to spread in private.

It's like a string that is getting tighter and tighter, just waiting for an opportunity, and it is about to cause chaos!

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of the piano.

In this moonlit night, someone plucked the strings.

The qin statement is pure and long, just like a bubbling spring, which instantly soothes people's mood and relieves tension.

Then, wherever the sound of the piano went, there were officials and officials, with local armor and sweaty families, knocking on the door of the house and making a low statement.

"There is a group of robbers attacking the city, and the army outside the city may not be able to rescue us, so we have to save ourselves first. Otherwise, once the city gate is lost, no one can escape death! ”

"The one who plays the piano now is the young lady Lin of His Royal Highness the King of Han. She has taken her family and men to the city gate to guard it. Do you have young people in your family who are willing to work? ”

"If there is, you can immediately go to the city gate with the official to guard it, and in the future, you will be exempted from taxes and rewarded for meritorious deeds."

"This is the toothbrush given by Mrs. Lin, and the handles of the brushes have been dyed red. As long as there is one person in your family, you can get one. Take it as a proof, and never break your word! ”

……

He Zhifu is very old, and his hair is almost white. Now he is like a small official, secretly knocking on doors and lobbying.

After receiving the report from the beautiful girl, the old man only felt that his scalp was numb, and the whole person was not good!

As an official, he knew all too well the catastrophe that a riot could bring.

And just like Mei Niang thought, the first thing he thought of was to hurry up and inform Gu Zhan.

But before the people set off, Gu Zan first sent someone to send an urgent secret letter, on which only sixteen small scribbled characters were written in cinnabar.

"There is a change in the barracks, close the city to save yourself. Delay as long as you can, wait for help! ”

He Zhifu's eyes were dark, he was going crazy!

If something happens even in the barracks, then they don't want to live.

It's still a beautiful girl who came in a hurry, and she is even more calm.

"Now that it has come to this, it is useless to say anything else. The most important thing is to stabilize the overall situation. When General Gu stabilizes the situation in the barracks, he will definitely return to help as soon as possible. But if we can't hold it, once the city is broken, he will definitely have a big mess there, and it will be difficult to clean it up! ”

Yeah!

He Zhifu came back to his senses and felt reasonable.

Now the two of them are like two grasshoppers on a vine, one is lost, and the other is prosperous.

But the reason understands, what to do?

There are not many garrisons in the city, so how can they hold on to the city once it is attacked?

Now, the only way to do this is to take risks.

In the end, she was trained in the war, and the experience of fleeing for her life in Ganzhou made Meiniang hate war, but she has a calmness far beyond ordinary people.

"The only way to do this is to recruit a large number of people and let them help defend the city. But therefore, it is necessary to make the situation clear to everyone. ”

He Zhifu immediately shook his head, "This can't be done, right?" What if the people panic? What should I do if I want to escape from the city? ”

But Mei Niang thinks that it may not be, "Although there are more timid people in this world, I am not very bold." But as long as the government lures and promises benefits, maybe everyone is willing to stay and help. After all, Wucheng is our home, if our home is destroyed, where can we go? ”

Time is pressing, and there is not much room left for He Zhifu to think.

He simply stomped his feet, gritted his teeth, and acted according to what Mei Niang said.

Now this family is still the first household that He Zhifu came to lobby. Seriously, he has no bottom in his heart.

But as the prefect of a place, he can only bite the bullet and say it.

In the end, he took the red toothbrush and said another sentence without hope, which was regarded as saving his dignity.

"If you are really in trouble, the government will not force you to ......"

"Just this toothbrush? That's a little bit. ”

Yes? Yes!

What did he hear?

He Zhifu almost thought that his old ears were faint and he had auditory hallucinations.

Who knew that the head of the family, an old man in his sixties, vigorously grabbed the red toothbrush from his hand and said firmly.

"I'll go!"

"Don't look at the old man's age, but his body is tough, and he can still pick a hundred pounds. When he was young, he fought with others, and he was also a good hand! ”

But the middle-aged son of his family said, "Dad, don't be reckless, I'll go." ”

The grandson said, "What are you all doing when you're so old?" Let's go young people! ”

"Get out!"

Daddy, and Daddy's Daddy, at the same time pressed him back.

"The doll that hasn't grown all the hair, and the daughter-in-law hasn't married, where are you going? If you want to go, it's also our grandfather who goes. ”

"Well, this lord, can you give me an extra toothbrush?"

He Zhifu woke up like a dream, and quickly took out another handful, "Are you really willing to go?" Fighting a war is no joke, and it may be fatal! The government has limited weapons, and it can't give you swords and guns......"
