The army of the southern country is really here!

They bypassed the distant outpost and appeared less than ten miles away from Shiji City.

The soldiers defending the city swallowed, turned their heads to look at General He Bian, and said, "General...... General, what to do? ”

He Biao came back to his senses and slapped the guard on the head, "What should I do?" TMD, close the gates for me! ”

"Yes, yes!"

The guards hurriedly ran down the city to give orders, and He Biao in the city trembled his lips, "How come? How can it be? What to do? ”

After a while, the little soldier who had just given the order ran back again, "Report!" General Ho! A large number of cavalry have also appeared in the north of the city, and it seems that they will reach Shiji City one step faster than the enemy in the east of the city! ”

"Then what are you doing in a daze? Go and close the north gate for me! No! Go and give a herald to shut all the gates! He Bi will roar.

"Yes! General, just now he has already ordered all the gates to be closed! The defenders replied.

"Oh, that's good, that's good......"

He Bi General wiped his sweat, thanks to his cleverness, now Shiji City does not even have a person to talk to, and he can't mobilize so many soldiers and horses as a partial general, in addition to relying on the tall city walls of Shiji City, he really doesn't know how to stop these soldiers and horses that suddenly appeared.

At this time, he heard a few sounds of "tuk tuk", He Bi turned around, but saw several figures dressed as civil officials hurriedly running up to the city.

He Biao looked at it, and suddenly felt that he had the backbone, and he didn't feel that he had a main business just now, so the Tao judge sent it to the door by himself.

In the Ming Kingdom, the status of military generals at the same level is slightly inferior to that of civilian officials, not to mention that his official position is not as good as others. He stepped forward and said happily, "Oops! Judge Tao! You're finally here! ”

The leader of this person is Tao Siniang's father, Tao Xu, the judge of Shiji City.

If he wanted to say that he sent his daughter away, he was originally going to leave for Wen County with the county magistrate, after all, he still had to be present when he was in the church, but there was something temporary here, so he didn't leave with Ling Su.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it was delayed, the army of the southern country was already in the city.

"What's going on now?" Compared with General He Bi, Tao Xu is much calmer, after all, he is from an intelligence background, and he is still stable at critical moments.

"Judge Tao...... I, I don't know! General He complained bitterly, "I just climbed to the top of the city to look at the scenery, and then I came to see the enemy......

"Alright, alright! Not to mention useless, how is the arming done? Tao Xu frowned and asked.

"I shut the gates." He Bi will answer honestly.

Tao Xu thought that there would be a follow-up to why he would be biased, but who knew that this big old man stopped here and looked at himself with blank eyes. He furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Gone?" ”

He Bi will blink, "It's gone." ”

"Rubbish!" Tao Xu almost vomited blood, if it weren't for the fact that this was in front of the public, and he had to take care of the face of others, he would have almost slapped him in the face, "You are a general, the enemy is coming, you only know how to close the city gate?" What about kerosene? What about the crossbow? What about the soldiers of the battalions? ”

Seeing He Bijiang's stunned expression, Tao Xu lost his voice incredulously: "You...... It can't be that it is not all arranged, right? ”

He Bi Jiang nodded again and again, and said, "I'll go and prepare now?" ”

"You're ready to fart!" Tao Xu jumped up angrily, "I, a civil official, know what to do to defend the city, is it difficult for you to come in through the back door?" ”

"Huh?" Tao Xu really guessed correctly, this general is really a brother-in-law with General Zhang who is guarding the city, so he is sitting in today's position, otherwise it would be difficult to be a soldier like him, let alone a general?

Tao Xu knew that he had guessed correctly as soon as he saw his expression, he sighed and said, "That's it, I also know a little bit about marching, this defense will be handed over to the old man!" But ......"

"You don't know how to set up defenses, and the herald will always be there, right?" ”

When He Bijiang saw that someone had "helped" him to do the most difficult thing, he was overjoyed, and nodded busily: "Yes!" I'm a great errand runner! ”

"You ......" Tao Xu pointed at He Biaojiang, but he didn't expect that the partial general of Shiji City would be this kind of wretchedness, but he also knew that it was not the time to argue about this, so he waved his hand, "You go!" ”

In this way, General He Bi became He Chuanbing, but people still enjoyed it.

……

On the "frontal" battlefield, seeing the mountain bandits fleeing, the general of the Southern Raider Army temporarily stopped the pursuit, because through the battle just now, he gradually realized that these should not be the regular troops of the Ming Kingdom. I have wasted my troops and time in vain, and there is no need to waste precious energy attacking the city for the sake of these rabble.

"General Li! They ran in the direction of Shiji City! ”

A black-armored soldier from the south ran to General Li and knelt down on one knee and prayed.

"What?" Li Shen raised his eyebrows, "Oops! I almost missed a good opportunity! If they want to escape into the city, as long as the city gate dares to open, it will be the time when Shiji City will fall! Give the order to go down, march at full speed, and catch up with those in front! ”

……

At the head of Shiji City, Tao Xu stood in the northeast corner, looking at the enemy army rapidly approaching in two directions at the same time.

"Huh?" Tao Xu frowned, he found that the cavalry on the north side did not seem to be neat, but divided into two camps.

The camp in front numbered about six or seven hundred, and although almost everyone had horses, they were scattered and chaotic in their march, and there was almost no order. The camp behind them was not only dressed in first-class black armor, but also seemed to cooperate with each other according to some kind of law during the march, although it looked like there were more than 2,000 people, but it was like a whole.

There was about two miles between the two groups, but it was obvious that the army behind them was gradually reducing the gap.

"Report! The soldiers of the battalions are ready, the archers are in place, and the crossbow is set up at the head of the city! A person quickly ran to report to Tao Xu.

Tao Xu nodded, and then was stunned for a moment, because the person who reported to him turned out to be a general, and dared to love him really as an interrogator?

Tao Xu said helplessly: "General He, the army in the north will arrive at the city in an instant, but they are cavalry, such a high city wall, it is tantamount to a joke for the cavalry to attack the city." But even so, we have to teach them a hard lesson. ”

"Yes! I don't know what everyone should do? ”

Tao Xu pondered for a moment and said, "When these cavalry in front of them reach the land of one stone, the archers will fire two salleys first, so that they can know how powerful we are!" ”

"Order!" He clenched his fists and turned around to give orders.

His eyes were tight, and as soon as he turned around, he vaguely saw that the cavalry rushing in front seemed to be mixed with dots of red, so he stopped and looked at it carefully.

"What a general! The military situation is urgent, what are you delaying? Tao Xu said angrily.

"Tao ...... Judge Tao, I don't know if I'm dazzled, how can I ...... What do you think of this previous enemy army...... Is there a decree? ”

"What?"
