"Dangdang!"

The bronze bell on the city tower suddenly rang rapidly, instantly resounding throughout the entire Donghai County, and the city patrol horses shouted one after another: "Enemy attack-"

A city patrol horse galloped over to report: "My lord, the enemy army has gathered a large number of troops to pounce on Donghai County, according to Zheng Sanjing's eyesight, the enemy army is at least 20,000!" The defenders of the city, please hurry up and reinforce them! ”

Everyone's faces outside the shipyard turned pale!

Yesterday, according to the latest inventory data of households in Donghai County, the current population of Donghai County is 6,270 people, of which half are the elderly, women and children, which means that there are less than 4,000 soldiers in Donghai County!

There is a cloud in the art of war: ten are to encircle, five are to attack, and multiple is to fight.

Now the enemy's strength is exactly five times that of the rebels in Donghai County, and the brutal siege battle has begun!

Zhang Wang jumped off the high platform almost the moment he heard the enemy attack, and he shouted as he walked in the direction of the city wall: "The brothers of the righteous army come with me, go to the city wall immediately!" ”

The crowd silently made way for him, and walked out of the crowd all the way, Zhang Wang suddenly stopped, he turned around, and the people were far away, and no one followed behind him!

Zhang Wang waved his hands anxiously: "Brothers, let's go, the enemy is coming to attack the city, everyone copy the guys!" The brothers at the head of the city are still waiting for us! ”

The people were silent! No one moves!

Zhang Wang: "Let's go!" Defend the city! The Golden Dog is about to attack the city! Once the city is broken, everyone will die! ”

The people are still silent, and no one moves!

The city patrol horse cowardly added: "Chief, the Jin army is at most five miles away from the East China Sea, and it doesn't take half an hour to reach the city......"

"I know!"

Zhang Wang was angry and anxious, and yelled at the city patrol horse: "What's the use of you telling me? Now that no one in Donghai County is willing to defend the city, everyone is waiting to die together! ”

"Everyone, be quiet, Lord Wu has something to say!"

Seeing that Zhang Wang and the villagers in Donghai County were in a stalemate, Wu Yang's cronies Lin Ze and others shouted loudly together, and their voices suppressed the noisy voices, and the people immediately stopped talking and looked at the shouting place together.

Wu Yang had already taken advantage of the chaos to stand on the table of the Eight Immortals, and he stretched out his hand to the sea and pointed: "The way to live is there!" After three days, it doesn't take a day to escape! But! Right now! If you want to live, go and defend the city wall, survive three days, and the official guarantees that you will live! ”

A man's voice in the crowd shouted, "You lie! The ships in the East China Sea can only carry a maximum of 600 people, but there are more than 6,000 people in the East China Sea County! You want us all to die so that we can sail away with your men! ”

The man's words were like a spark falling into the oil pot, immediately igniting the long-accumulated fear of the people, and countless accusations and scolding rushed towards Wu Yang like a huge wave!

"The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty didn't send troops, what can you do when you come?"

"It turned out that this was the idea, we went to fight with the golden dog, you guys hid behind to escape, it's really a good calculation!"

"Don't be fooled, folks, defend the city and let them go! The big guy still thinks about how to live! ”

The people gossiped, pushing the fear of death on Wu Yang and the others, but they forgot that Wu Yang and the others did not have to fall into the dead place of the East China Sea, and the predicament of the East China Sea was not caused by their foreign reinforcements!

Wu Yang stood firmly on the table of the Eight Immortals, standing still!

Outside the crowd, two strong men came running over with a deck chair.

On the recliner was half sitting and half leaning on an old man with a white beard, and someone shouted: "The patriarch is here!" ”

The crowd automatically parted to make way for the old man, and the people along the way shouted, "Patriarch, you have to uphold justice!" ”

"Yes, Patriarch Xu, we Donghai people are all one family, we want to live and die together, we can't be partial!"

The old man's two snow-white eyebrows stood up and scolded, "Shut up! Lao Er wants to talk to Lord Wu, it's not your turn to interject! ”

The old man is Xu Ji, the patriarch of the Xu family, the largest family in the East China Sea, he is the master of the previous generation, and also the master of Zhang Wang and Xu Yuan, the shipwrights of Donghai County are all his apprentices and grandchildren, in this era of extremely particular emphasis on the inheritance of the teacher, Xu Ji has the absolute right to speak in Donghai County!

Zhang Wang squeezed in front of Xu Ji, clasped his fists and bowed down, "Master-"

The old man waved his hand impatiently: "The golden dog is coming, you don't take people to the city to guard, what are you doing here?" How? On the contrary, if you want to make it, the overseers and county orders of the Jin people will also kill you, and now you are cowardly, and you want outsiders to defend the city for you desperately, and you hide behind the benefactors one by one to pick up ready-made? Phew! ”

The old man's two fiery eyes swept over the faces of the people in the East China Sea: "The men are all going to defend the city, whoever dares not to go, I will pinch out his yellow son!" ”

The old man raised his head and smiled flatteringly at Wu Yang, "Master Wu, do you think Lao Xu's arrangement is feasible?" ”

Wu Yang nodded slightly, raised his voice and said: "Listen to the people of the East China Sea, all men over the age of sixteen and under the age of fifty will go up to the city wall, and those who have killed the enemy and performed bravely will be given priority to board the ship!" Those who do not advance, fear the enemy and avoid war, and shake the hearts of the army, will be killed!

Donghai County has 800 household registrations, and the official guarantees that as long as everyone works together to survive the three days, at least one person from every household in Donghai County can board the boat! The greater the military merit, the more clansmen can board the ship!

If you want to live, take your life first! ”

Xu Ji stood up and glared: "Did Lord Wu hear what he said clearly?" Don't go yet! ”

A woman's soft voice rang out: "If there is no male in the house, will only the woman and children be able to board the ship?" ”

Wu Yang found that it was a young woman in her thirties who was talking, holding a little girl in her teens in her hand, looking at her timidly.

"Yes! The elderly, weak, women and children can also be credited with transporting military postures and rescuing the wounded, and they can also fight for the opportunity to board the ship! ”

The woman's tense skin suddenly relaxed, and she said happily, "Then I'll go!" I'm not afraid of hardship, and I can also help with stones and wood! The little woman spared no effort, just begging the general to give the little woman's little orchid a chance to board the ship three days later! ”

The woman bowed to Wu Yangyingying, and ran towards the city gate with her daughter!

Wu Yang looked down at the crowd at his feet and said coldly: "A man in Donghai County is not as good as a woman!" ”

Zhang Wang said loudly: "It's a master's, just follow me!" A dignified man can't let the orchid girl compare! ”

Li Xiu also came to the crowd at some point, and he echoed loudly: "If you want to live, you have to fight for your life!" When did the people of the East China Sea become such scoundrels that they expected women and strangers to take their lives to make a way for you? ”

Finally, the gathered people moved, the young men followed Zhang Wang's footsteps, and the old and weak women and children were led by Li Xiu and Xie Dacheng to transport supplies and demolish houses!

Xu Ji had been watching with a smile on his side, and when the people in Donghai County were gone, he shouted at Wu Yang: "Lord Wu, General Wu, please take a step to speak!" ”

Wu Yang got down from the table of the Eight Immortals and walked with Xu Ji to a place where no one was, Xu Ji asked, "What Lord Wu said is true?" Just a day's water trip to escape? ”

Wu Yang didn't hide it from him: "Not bad! I made an agreement with someone to send a ship to meet them at sea on April 15, and as long as I could get to the pick-up location, let alone 6,000 people, I could take them all with me! ”

Xu Ji's eyes became brighter and brighter: "So, you only need to prepare a day's worth of water on the ship, and the rest is only about loading people?" ”

Wu Yang nodded: "Yes!" ”

Xu Ji slapped his face: "Let's go, Lord Wu, go to the shipyard with Lao Xu to discuss!" A big ship of 5,000 materials can take more than a few hundred people! ”
