Chapter Twenty-Five: This Is the Youzhou Defenders?
"Where did the bandits come from? Dare to attack Youzhou City? Tired of living? ”
Li Feng doubted life as he walked, Youzhou was the northernmost city used by the Great Cadres to defend against foreign races, and the city walls were built extremely tall and firm.
Bandits dare to attack such a high city? The old birthday star eats arsenic, has he lived enough?
When Li Feng and a group of people rushed to the West City Gate, they saw 100 bandits sitting in the open space not far from the city to rest, squatting or sitting, and some even slept with straw hats over their faces, leisurely like farmers resting in their own fields.
The soldiers defending the city shrank in the battlements and trembled.
Li Feng was furious: "As a great soldier, you are so afraid of bandits, how can you fight?" ”
"Lord Wang, it's half a cloud outside!"
"What half of the cloud?"
Zhang Shoulin explained: "There are countless bandits large and small in the Youzhou territory, and there are three of the strongest, half of the clouds of Erlong Mountain, the living king of Qingfeng Mountain, and the rolling earth dragon of Peach Blossom Mountain. Although the number of Banbianyun is smaller than the other two, they are the strongest, and they are all brave and good at fighting. ”
After Zhang Shoulin finished speaking, several small soldiers became even more scared.
Li Feng sneered: "No matter how powerful a bandit is, he is also a bandit, and he is destined to be exterminated." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard a roar, and an arrow came up from below, and with a thud it was stuck in the tower of the city gate, and it was an inch deep into the wood.
Li Feng gasped, the open space outside the city is three or four hundred meters away from here, is this still a person?
"Be careful, sir."
Zhang Shoulin jumped in front of Li Feng and was pushed away by Li Feng: "Your body can't stop that arrow, who shot the arrow just now?" ”
"It's the third master of Erlong Mountain, the magic arrow Dong Chao."
"As the name suggests, ask him what he is going to do?"
Zhang Shoulin poked his head out and shouted, "Dong Chao, why didn't you rob the road in Erlong Mountain, what did you do in my Youzhou City?" ”
Dong Chao also shouted loudly: "My lord, in the year of the catastrophe, our bandits have no business anymore, and we can't eat, so I came to Youzhou City to order food, and I hope that my lord will be pitiful." ”
Zhang Shoulin scolded: "Pity your uncle, get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise today next year will be your sacrifice day!" ”
Dong Chao was not angry, got on the horse and said, "Since the adults refuse to give charity, then don't blame us for being hard." ”
After that, Dong Chao walked away with people in a leisurely manner, with an extremely arrogant attitude.
One hundred and ten bandits took a turn outside Youzhou City, leisurely and unscrupulous, which made Li Feng extremely angry.
He was a dignified prince, but he was taken care of by a group of bandits? Is it tolerable or intolerable?
"How many soldiers are there in the city?"
Zhang Shoulin's expression was embarrassed: "Lord Wang, Youzhou is in a difficult situation and cannot afford to support the soldiers, so there is only a thousand-person team in the city, under the command of Zhizhou." ”
"What are you kidding, Youzhou is the northern barrier of Daqian, and there are only a thousand soldiers and horses?"
"The guards are concentrated in the front military towns, and the supply is directly under the responsibility of the southern provinces."
Li Feng realized that the border city of Youzhou was just a big granary.
"What about Huang Xian? Bandits attacked the city, why didn't he come out. ”
Speaking of Huang Xian, Huang Xian ran upside down, don't look late, the one wearing a dark silver military suit is called a beautiful one.
"Lord Wang, the lower official is in armor, please forgive the lower official for not being able to salute."
Li Feng sneered: "Lord Huang came in time." ”
"The armor is heavy, and it takes some time to put it on."
Huang Xian's reason for finding was seamless, he was dressed in armor and looked like he was going to fight on the battlefield, even Li Feng couldn't say anything.
Huang Xianman thought that in this way, Li Feng would not be able to worry about him, but he ignored one thing, his armor was thirty or forty pounds.
A soldier who has been trained for many years is just that, and he can't last long as he pampers Zhizhou.
Li Feng smiled, changed the topic and asked: "In Youzhou, bandits are everywhere, does Lord Huang know about this matter?" ”
Huang Xian immediately complained: "Lord Wang, it's not that the lower officials don't want to eliminate the bandits, but that there are only hundreds of old and weak people in Youzhou, and they can barely resist with the high city of Youzhou." If you go out of the city to suppress bandits, you will definitely be served by bandits, and you are really powerless. ”
This is the truth, and Li Feng is not easy to say.
"Dong Chao, who is only half of the cloud, has come to fight the autumn wind, does Lord Huang have any countermeasures?"
Hearing Banbianyun's name, Huang Xian's body trembled, and his words became hesitant: "This... Xia Guan believes that in the year of the catastrophe, the bandits who want to come have nothing to eat, so they have no choice but to come to Youzhou to rob. It is better to give them some food, not to start a senseless war, and to strive for peace. ”
Li Feng was laughed at by Huang Xian, this is the Zhizhou of Youzhou who advocates military affairs?
Li Feng hadn't figured out how to take down Huang Xian before, so wasn't the reason coming.
"Come on, take Zhizhou Huang Xian down to me!"
"Yes."
The two guards stepped forward and held down Huang Xian, and Huang Xian was shocked: "Lord Wang, why is this?" ”
Li Feng sneered: "At the moment of the great enemy, you, as a Zhizhou, don't want to find a way to repel the enemy, and you actually want to appease the bandits?" ”
"Your Majesty appointed you as the governor of the state to let you protect the people, not to give in to the bandits. You don't deserve to sit in the position of Zhizhou, put me in prison, and wait for this king to fight off the bandits. ”
"Oh, since Lord Huang likes armor so much, don't take off this armor for him, let him wear it."
"Lord Wang, I am the governor of Youzhou of His Majesty's imperial seal, you have no right to remove from office, I want to play Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”
Huang Xian wailed and was dragged down by the guards and put in prison.
"Zhang Shoulin, take my token and go to the barracks to transfer the 1,000 defenders, I don't believe that a group of bandits can break through Youzhou City?"
Zhang Shoulin took the token and left, and Liu Ji looked sad: "Lord Wang, the strength of the bandits in the Youzhou territory should not be underestimated, and a thousand soldiers are only afraid that they will not be able to catch it, and Huang Xian's suggestion is not impossible to consider." ”
Li Feng looked at Liu Ji coldly, and cold sweat immediately broke out on Liu Ji's forehead.
"Lord Wang, it's not that I raise the morale of others and destroy my own prestige, the strength of that half of the cloud is indeed not to be underestimated, there are a thousand old and weak people in Youzhou City, and they can't beat others."
"Just now I wanted to ask, why don't you ask the border envoy of Anxi Town for help."
"Lord Wang, the army on the edge of the town, only His Majesty can be mobilized, and you have no right to transfer. If you report to the capital, you will come and go, and the time will be delayed for too long. ”
So that's what happened, Li Feng nodded.
After a while, Zhang Shoulin came back with a strange face: "Lord Wang, a thousand soldiers have been brought to the city, please take a look." ”
"What's wrong with you? His face looked like he had eaten a fly. ”
"Lord Wang, go down and see for yourself."
Li Feng went down to the city tower to take a look, and couldn't help but rub his eyes: "This is the soldier of Youzhou City?" ”
Zhang Shoulin nodded unbearably.
said that it was a thousand soldiers, but it was obvious that it was less than a thousand, and it was estimated that it was more than six hundred, standing without energy, loose and saggy, and the age was also on the older side, Li Feng also saw several gray-haired old men.
Seeing the so-called 1,000 soldiers, Li Feng laughed angrily.
"What does Huang Xian eat? Is this the army or a nursing home? ”
Liu Ji and Zhang Shoulin didn't dare to reply.
At this time, there was a loud bang outside: "Little cubs in Youzhou, you half of Uncle Yun is here!" ”
