Chapter 268: Surrender

"What the master said, that's right, we should tell the prefect directly about this news, we should tell the prefect about this matter now, and at the same time let the other guard generals immediately guard it, Qingfeng County is waiting for the prefect of Haishang Mansion to send someone to rescue"

"Yes, master, you're right, let people go right now, pack up your things right now"

"Let's go, let's go."

Good guy, as soon as the county master heard the master's words, his eyes immediately rolled in agreement, after all, who would think about some other problems at this time, of course, it is the most important thing to escape early.

Soon, the county magistrate first summoned a large number of officials and sent them to the city wall for defense, and his own family pretended to go to ask for help, but in fact, he turned around and took a few personal soldiers and masters, and did not pack some things, mainly three boxes of gold and silver treasures towards Haishang Mansion.

By the time the defending general found out, he was already angry and gritted his teeth

"What are you talking about, the county lord has fled"

The eyes of the general guarding the city stared at the coffin of the letter that came to report, and it was almost impossible to believe it.

What are you kidding, in the face of the siege of the Liukou, even if the county lord was not at the first scene, he commanded and stabilized the situation in Qingfeng County and consolidated the hearts of the people, but he just changed hands and ran.

, and said that what is going to Haishang Mansion to ask for help, asking for a ghost fate, he just wants to escape, okay

The general guarding the city gritted his teeth, and immediately understood the thoughts of the county lord, it was no problem to deceive ordinary people with such high-sounding words, but for the general guarding the city, he knew that he just wanted to escape

At this time, the soldiers on the edge also matched each other, and some were even at a loss.

This is also understandable. He attacked them desperately and defended them, but the county lord ran away as soon as possible, how can you accept this, this is simply not acceptable.

, one of the lieutenants said cautiously

"General, what should we do now? If what the county lord said is true, then we should be able to wait for the rescue of the Sea Mansion."

"If we can defend as long as the rescue comes"

"Rescue, do you think rescue will come?"

The defending general gritted his teeth

He was quite disappointed in these officials of the Dachang Empire, and raised his head and said word by word

"Even if the county master goes to Haishang Mansion to rescue, how long will it take for him to bring the rescued soldiers over, and how long can we hold on, do you think Haishang Mansion will send troops to rescue?"

"You must know that we are facing the Wide-Eyed Heavenly King, one of the four great rogues, and now there are only tens of thousands of rogues. There should be more rogues in the back, is Haishang Mansion willing to send troops? ”

In just a few words, these calls were instantly said one by one with a confused face.

Although they don't want to admit it, they also know that the character of the Dachang Empire's official government is to sweep the snow in front of their own door

Although Haishang Mansion is quite powerful, it is an economic and cultural exchange center, and it is also the largest prefecture city today, but whether it can send troops is another matter?

It's not up to them to decide

"But if the general doesn't do this, then what should we do now?"

The adjutant smiled bitterly

At this moment, he was really a little overwhelmed

"Wait and see, wait and see, no matter how you go to the town to guard the city gate first, and at the same time send the soldiers of the bureau to give me the people of the entire Qingfeng County. Manage it and tell them that everyone will give me to come to my house to impose martial law, in short, no matter what, Qingfeng County can't have trouble or chaos now,"

"I don't want to be rogue outside, but there are some people from Qingfeng County who burn and loot inside, causing chaos and holding us back."

I have to say that the general who guards the city is still quite capable, and he quickly knows what the current situation should be.

Since the magistrate is gone, the only one who has the highest official position is himself.

They can only be on their own.

Soon, the army carried by the Wide-eyed Heavenly King came to the gate of Qingfeng County, raised his eyes to see the dilapidated color of the city wall in front of him, and raised his eyebrows, but there were officers and soldiers guarding the city wall, which was beyond his expectations

"That's right, Huiming, I thought that the believers you summoned should be able to capture Qingfeng County, or seize the city gate, but I didn't expect these officers and soldiers to still hold the city gate, it seems that the believers you summoned are not too useful."

Hui Ming had already changed into a suit of armor at this moment and stood behind the Wide-Eyed Heavenly King, his face changed slightly, and then he lowered his head

"Lord Wide-eyed Heavenly King is angry, I didn't expect these believers to be so useless, they invaded Qingfeng County, but they didn't defend the city gate, this is indeed my mistake, I should send someone to follow them"

"Haha, there's no need, those believers are just some old and weak captives, I don't expect them to be able to capture Qingfeng County at all, but I can let them give Qingfeng County some trouble, I'm already quite satisfied."

"However, this Qingfeng County's city guard general also has some ability, he can continuously drive out believers in such a short period of time, and he also snatched back the city gate, but he is a talent."

The Wide-Eyed Heavenly King nodded slightly, since he became the Wide-Eyed Heavenly King, he has become more and more aware of the preciousness of talents, his subordinates are all some bitter haha or some people who don't understand culture, and they only rely on their own shares to fight, just to put it bluntly, it is a sea of people tactics"

There are actually quite few real talents, which is also the reason for the congenital deficiency of the rogue.

After all, they are all peasants, or rather, ruffians and hooligans, who have neither culture nor knowledge, and they all rely on crowd tactics to rush forward. If it weren't for the closeness, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to burn, kill, and loot well!

The Wide-eyed Heavenly King has noticed that the group he has gathered is that there are very few generals in your family, so they are recruiting some fierce generals, but since he belongs to the rogue group, the talents recruited are not too many.

"Lord Guangmu Heavenly King, even if the government takes back this city gate, the believers will definitely cause its damage, we should immediately send troops to take the city gate back, and at the same time attack Qingfeng County to catch them off guard, so as to prevent these officers and soldiers from gaining a firm foothold."

"In this way, we will have to pay more to be able to attack Qingfeng County"

The Wide-Eyed Heavenly King listened to Hui Ming's words and nodded slightly

"Yes, although this Huiming is not a celebrity, but from the fact that he developed a small Shangyuan Temple, and even recruited a large number of believers, who are willing to revolt for him, it can be seen that this Huiming is still quite talented, at least more brainy than the group of people around him who only know how to fight and kill, and what he lacks most is people with brains."

"Very good Huiming, since this is the case, then I will give you a chance to knock down the city gate of Qingfeng County."

Since he sensed that Hui Ming was a talent, the Wide-eyed Heavenly King would naturally give him a chance.

Hui Ming on the side was shocked, and hurriedly raised his head, with surprise on his face, he naturally knew that this was the opportunity given to him by the Wide-eyed Heavenly King, and hurriedly spoke

"Thank you. I will definitely take down the gates of the city, and I will not disappoint you."

After saying that, he raised his head and turned to leave

Soon led nearly 2,000 people to attack the city gate of Qingfeng County.

In the first siege, he did not attack with all his might, but only let people test, that is to say, to test.

He needs to see what the strength of the officers and soldiers really is.

The most important thing is that if the officers and men of the first wave of attack are prepared, they will definitely be the most well-defended, and there must be a lot of defensive equipment.

If these defensive equipment are consumed, then the siege will be much faster.

Soon, the first wave of attacks attacked the city wall of Qingfeng County, but under the strict defense of the defending general, it was quickly defeated, and after the two sides left dozens of corpses at the city gate together, they deceived some rolling stones on the city gate, Huiming's eyes lit up instantly, and the corners of his mouth were not blindly raised.

He already has some ideas.

It seems that although the officers and soldiers have taken back the city gate of Qingfeng County, it has not been too long.

At the very least, their defensive offensive did not prepare too many defensive materials

Otherwise, in the first round of attacks, neither the rolling logs nor the arrows will form a cover.

In other words, we only need to be able to defeat it completely in one go.

The more Hui Ming thought about it, the more excited he became, and even his eyes lit up.

This is the first task given to him by the Wide-eyed Heavenly King, and he must complete it beautifully.

Thinking of this, he was full of spirit and waved his big hand

"Prepare to attack, fight for a round of attacks to take this gate down completely!"

As he spoke, he led all nearly 2,000 rogues to frantically attack the city gate.

Now that he has passed the test and tested the true strength of the officers and soldiers defending the city in Qingfeng County this time, he will defeat them in one go.

It's a simple thing.

Seeing this scene, the Wide-eyed Heavenly King nodded slightly, and his eyes lit up

"Not bad, not bad"

As the Wide-Eyed Heavenly King, he rose from the grass, but he was able to become one of the four major rogues, and he was also killed from the sea of blood at the same time.

He didn't know any art of war, but he reflexively knew how to fight siege warfare, and now he could clearly know what Huiming was thinking and what his plans were.

At least he found out that the opponent's strength was not strong and wiped out the enemy in one go, which was quite good.

Obviously, the Wide-eyed Heavenly King is still quite satisfied with Huiming

For him, it is already quite a good thing for Huiming to have such an idea, and it can be worth cultivating.

The other generals behind him saw this scene and raised their eyebrows, but they were a little dissatisfied and whispered

"What's going on, isn't it just attacking this Qingfeng County, as for being so nervous."

"Even if there is no so-called believer in him attacking Qingfeng County, we can defeat Qingfeng County, which is completely without any problems."

"Yes, yes. That's right."

"There are also cities we have fought that are bigger than this Qingfeng County, and in the end, they were not directly breached under our men? Qingfeng County is not a problem at all."

"We were able to defeat it easily, and it was something that didn't have any problems at all, where was it so complicated as he did?"

"Enough is enough, what do you mean by that? Do you think that what the Hirome-sama did was wrong? ”

"No, it's not that we didn't mean it, we were just afraid that Lord Hiromu would be deceived."

"We're afraid that the Wide-eyed Heavenly King has been deceived!"

"Yes, yes, we have good intentions, we don't have any other ideas"

As soon as the generals heard this, they immediately retorted

Just kidding, it's okay for them to complain, but if they really dare to say that the Hiromu Heavenly King is wrong, then it's really a bunch of guys looking for death.

"Alright, alright, don't we know what you think? Aren't you afraid that this Huiming will break through Qingfeng County, and the first one to enter Qingfeng County will burn and rob you? ”

The Wide-eyed Heavenly King directly rolled his eyes and said with a chuckle, he had long been very clear about the careful thoughts that had come to his house

The generals below glanced at each other one by one, and it could be seen from here that although the Hiromu Heavenly King was called the Heavenly King, in fact, his management method was still the same as before.

It's all a rogue-type management style.,It's precisely because of this.,Everyone respects the Wide-eyed Heavenly King.,

But it's not like the subordinate relationship

But even so, they still had to listen obediently to what the Wide-eyed Heavenly King said.

suddenly

The Wide-Eyed Heavenly King raised his head and said word by word

"I know what you're thinking, but you've forgotten one thing, which is that if we want to develop, we need more people,"

"You don't think that this Heavenly King only needs some people now, and there will be more and more people following me in the future,"

"And you're going to have more and more soldiers, you know? That's why it's the most important thing to find talent."

There will be more and more soldiers!

The words of the Wide-eyed Heavenly King made the rest of the generals present stunned for a moment, "

Then there was a look of surprise on his face and he nodded heavily.

Obviously, they naturally knew what the Wide-eyed Heavenly King was talking about.

Perhaps the Wide-eyed Heavenly King was also stimulated. To be precise, he may have been stimulated by the madman Liukou Chen Zhang, and wanted to do a big job, which is a very good thing for the many rogues who have taken refuge in the Guangmu Heavenly King. Only when the Wide-eyed Heavenly Kings are more and more ambitious and there are more and more places to siege the city, can they rise to the top, can they eat and drink enough, and can they satisfy their wildness.

Become a human being.

"Kill, kill, kill."

On the city wall of Qingfeng County, the face of the city guard general became more and more ugly, and he desperately launched an attack, resisting the attacks of wave after wave of rogues, but the materials prepared on the city wall were not enough, and there was a rebellion of believers before.

These believers rushed into the city gate and burned them down, although they were directly killed and suppressed in the end, it is undeniable that many defensive equipment were directly destroyed in the case of a fire. This made the defensive equipment on the walls of the entire Qingfeng County city very small, and this time in the face of the attack of the rogues, they could only say that they were passively defending.

Many times, he has let the rogues climb the city wall, and he has relied on his superb ability to kill him.

But how long it can hold out, the defending general himself is not clear at all.

Repelled a wave of rogue attacks again, the general defending the city panted vigorously, raised his head and his face was covered with blood, and said word by word

"How is it now. Will the warriors still be able to fight, and how much defense material is left on the walls? ”

The lieutenant general walked over from the side, but his face became quite ugly

"The general is gone"

"No, the soldiers are basically injured now, if they continue to fight, I'm afraid they won't be able to bear it at all, and the defensive materials and all kinds of defensive equipment are now almost used, even if you want to have them, you can't find them at all, do you want to go to the city to convene or let the villagers spontaneously send some engineering equipment over, otherwise, then only rely on us soldiers to carry it, this is really very difficult, it's too late."

"I think so, but who do you think should do this?"

"It should be the county master, but now that the county master is there, no one else knows where he has gone, do you think you can do it?"

The general who defended the city showed a wry smile.

Under normal circumstances, the general guards the city gates. And the county lord is doing logistics work in the back, transporting all kinds of resources for it, and jointly defending Qingfeng County.

But he didn't expect that now the county lord would run away with his master and his family with money.

"Although I went to Haishang Mansion to ask for help, everyone knew that this was simply an excuse.

Maybe it's true to ask for help, but it's also true to run away, it is precisely because of this that the entire Qingfeng County can be said to be in a state of leaderlessness, and even the magistrates have run away, won't some other officials and officials still escape?

Surely they will have fled long ago.

The lieutenant general wants to organize everyone in the entire Qingfeng County to provide material support, which is quite a difficult thing.

Even if they can do it, I'm afraid that the rogue on the other side won't give them much time, which is the most important thing

"General. General, how do you think we can't continue like this, if we continue like this, the brothers will not be able to hold on at all, and it is impossible to let the horses run fast and not give the horses grazing."

"Something you can't do if you go on like this"

The adjutant general hesitated for a moment, and even his face became extremely desperate

Things turned out to be the way they were, and even he didn't know what to do next.

I always feel that something is very wrong, obviously they should occupy a lot of advantages as the side defending the city,

But in fact, I didn't feel it, but I was always in a disadvantaged state.

"There's no way, there's no way, since he dares to be the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for being fifteen"

suddenly

But when he saw that the general defending the city raised his head, his face became extremely ugly, and even a little hideous.

Look around

"Ladies and gentlemen, the county magistrate has run away now, I believe everyone already knows, only we are guarding here, and there are no villagers or people from Qingfeng County behind us to provide us with defensive equipment and objects."

"It can be said that we can only rely on ourselves now, but the number of rogues on the other side is thousands, that is one of the four major rogues, the wide-eyed rogue, if there are sufficient resources, I am confident that I can fight him, but now there is nothing, I really don't have such confidence, what do you think should be done, whether to defend or retreat,"

This sentence made the adjutant stunned for a moment, and many other soldiers were also stunned at the same time, with solemn expressions on their faces."

They didn't know what they should choose, so they whispered to each other

"It must be impossible to fight, if you want me to say, it's better for us to retreat, anyway, the official master has already fled, what are we doing if we don't escape, there should be no problem with us escaping"

"No, no, run away, where are we going to flee?"

"Don't forget, behind us are the fathers and villagers of Qingfeng County, if once we all escape, they are invaded by the rogues, the consequences are unimaginable, what will happen when the time comes?"

"That being said, we can't defend ourselves at all, even if we have a city wall, we can't defend all the enemies."

"So what do you think we're supposed to do now? Do you mean that we are all killed?

"I don't know, I don't know, don't ask me, I don't know what's going on, if I knew, that's fine"

Numerous soldiers chattered and talked, all with a hint of despair on their faces.

If they have an absolute advantage, they are not afraid, if the engineering equipment is enough, they are also not afraid, but now they don't have the engineering equipment.

When the engineering equipment is used up, there is no one to transport it, and it is quite difficult to replenish it, even if it is defensive, and they do not have any confidence at all if they continue to fight like this

"I don't know how to continue fighting"

The face of the general guarding the city changed slightly, and he raised his head and said word by word

"Everyone, now that we can't fight, we definitely can't fight, and we definitely can't hold on so much that we want to live, there is only one choice, and that is to go out of the city and surrender"

"What, go out of the city and surrender"

The many soldiers were stunned for a moment, with a look of consternation on their faces

To be honest, they had thought of a lot of possibilities, but they never thought it would be like this

How is it possible to surrender?

It's a matter of looking for death

The lieutenant swallowed, and with a look of horror in his eyes, he spoke

"General, are you kidding, you want us to take refuge in the rogue, we are officers and soldiers, how can we take refuge in the rogue? General, you're kidding, are you saying the wrong thing?"

The soldiers on the side also started talking

"General, we can't take refuge in the rogues"

"Yes, you must not take refuge in the Rogue"

"Hehe, what are you doing if you don't take refuge in Liukou, as the saying goes, it's better to die than to live, as long as you can live, then everything is too hopeful, but if you die, then there is nothing"

As soon as the words of the general defending the city fell, several lieutenants on the side questioned slightly.

Some people agreed, but some people were still very scared, raised their heads and spoke cautiously

"Even if the general wants to surrender, we don't necessarily have to surrender. After all, for us, these rogues are not practical at all, and they will also talk and don't count, once they regret it, then what will I do, we can't do anything at all S Shoucheng General laughed, shook his head and said

"Don't worry about the saying goes, killing people and setting fire to Zhao'an, these rogues, especially the Wide-eyed Heavenly King, one of the four great bandits, he must also have ambitions, as long as he has ambitions, then he needs more soldiers and generals, how do you think our combat effectiveness compares to these rogues"
