"Third brother, we can't be careless this time, what happened back then can't happen again. The fifth brother's face became solemn and said.

"I understand that it was my mistake back then. Although the owner and the lady are not too guilty, I have to bear the blame. Fortunately, I was safe and sound in the end, otherwise I would not have been able to make up for this mistake even if I died. The third brother sighed.

"This matter is not your fault alone, third brother, we are all at fault. The seventh brother said.

"Don't talk about it, let's go. There are more and more people in the rivers and lakes, and a big war is about to break out. The third brother said.

The next day, nearly 10,000 people gathered in the rivers and lakes outside the city, all of whom came from all over the surrounding areas.

Originally, I only knew that Sun Jiatu was near the county seat of Sandao County, and the specific location was difficult to confirm, but now I have obtained the exact location.

Tartar battalion.

For these people in the rivers and lakes, a few or dozens of them did not dare to attack the Tartar camp, but now that nearly 10,000 people have gathered, there is nothing to fear in the face of the Tartar camp.

Wine strengthens people's courage, in fact, more people can also strengthen people's courage.

Tugar is also a bit difficult to ride a tiger.

He didn't expect the people in the rivers and lakes of Great Xia to gather so quickly and in such a large number.

The main thing is that Haji has not come back yet, which is what worries him the most.

After a day of meditation, Lin Xiqi also came out today and came to the city wall.

Although the Fifth Polar Ice Realm has not yet been fully consolidated, it is much better than yesterday.

He stood at the head of the city and looked in the direction of the Tartar camp, and now there were many men and horses stationed not far from the side of the Tartar camp, and they were all from the rivers and lakes.

The distance between the two sides is only ten miles, and it is about the same distance from the county seat of Sandao.

Hong Shangrong and Tao Yan were both on the city wall, and although the Tartar army was unlikely to attack the city at the moment, they still did not relax in the slightest.

Lin Xiqi saw Tao Yan go into battle with an injury, and couldn't help asking, "How is your injury?"

"Thank you for your concern, although my subordinates are injured, they can still exert half of their strength despite their hard work. When the time comes, you can always kill a few more Tartars. Tao Yan said.

His previous injuries were actually very serious, and thanks to some healing pills given by Lin Xiqi, plus Wang Dong and others helped him heal, his injuries were able to recover a lot.

Otherwise, if he wants to recover to the current level alone, he may not be able to do it in a few months.

"It seems that the people in the city are also very active in defending the city. Lin Xiqi nodded and looked around again, and found that many people were carrying some rolling wood and stones, or carrying some arrows and swords.

"That's when the adults are under the rule and the people love them, so the people will spontaneously come to help defend the city. Su Qinglan hurriedly said.

"What Miss Qinglan said is that if there were no adults, the county would have fallen long ago. Besides, they are also part of the city, and if the city falls, they will not end well. Had to fight hard. Hong Shangrong said.

Lin Xiqi smiled and didn't say anything.

His gaze suddenly rested on a few people not far away.

It is Sun Jiatu's son Sun Lian's family.

After Sun Lian's family moved some arrows to the city wall, they found a break to take a break, and they stood by the battlements and looked outside.

"It seems that they know about Sun Jiatu's presence in the Tartar camp. Lin Xiqi thought secretly in his heart.

It is impossible that Sun Jiatu had told them about this matter in advance, and now that the matter of Sun Jiatu entering the Tartar camp has also spread in the city, it is not difficult for Sun Lian to know about it.

As a son, Sun Lian is of course concerned about his father's safety.

But he couldn't leave the city, so he could only stand on the city wall and watch from afar, hoping that his father would be safe.

"My lord, there's something strange ahead. Hong Shangrong suddenly shouted loudly.

When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they immediately became alert.

"It seems that those people in the rivers and lakes have acted. Tao Yan said.

"Really, my lord, those people in the rivers and lakes have begun to storm the Tartar camp. Su Qinglan said a little excitedly.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city wall originally wanted to let the people here go down, but now it was not the Tartars who came to attack the city, they were relieved, and let these people stand at the head of the city and watch.

Ten miles of land is nothing to the people in the rivers and lakes, and they can still see clearly, but to ordinary people, they can see it more vaguely.

However, there were too many people over there, and they could still see two huge groups of people clashing each other.

"That's kind of interesting. Lin Xiqi chuckled and said, "I heard that Wang Zhutou also brought people over?"

"Yes, they probably brought more than a hundred people from the rivers and lakes to go, oh, Ren Baxia also passed. Hong Shangrong said.

"How can it be so easy to take advantage of the cheap?" Lin Xiqi shook his head and said, "There is only one map, how can they get it?"

For Renyue and Wang Dong to pass together, Lin Xiqi was not surprised.

Renyue likes to join in the fun, and he obviously doesn't want to miss it when he knows about such a thing.

"That's what I thought, too. Hong Shangrong nodded and said, "But if you miss such a thing, it will be a big regret after all." If you participate and don't get it in the end, it's also your own lack of strength, so you admit it. ”

Speaking of which, 'Treasures of the Former Dynasty' is too tempting.

"How many more people can you use here?" asked Lin Xiqi.

"My lord, the casualties in the defense of the city this time are not small, especially the people, there are more than 3,000 casualties, and there are hundreds of casualties among the officers and soldiers. Hong Shangrong said, "These people are still so-so in defending the city, and if they want to attack the Tartar army, I am afraid it will not be enough." ”

"I understand this. Lin Xiqi said, "Aren't there still 400 people in the rivers and lakes?"

"Yes, Lord Wang also left four hundred people in the rivers and lakes. Hong Shangrong nodded and said, "But the strength of these people in the rivers and lakes is relatively weak, and it is probably far from enough to participate in the competition for the map." ”

"Who said that this official wants to compete for the map of the 'Treasure of the Former Dynasty'. Lin Xiqi said, "The Tartar army invaded Liangzhou and killed countless people, so let them retreat safely after a while? ”

"Do you want to do something to the Tartar?" asked Hong Shangrong.

"That's right, even if it's four hundred people in the rivers and lakes, if it is used properly, how can it kill thousands of enemies. Lin Xiqi said, "Their strength belongs to the bottom of the rivers and lakes, but in terms of personal strength, they are far superior to the Tartar soldiers." As long as they are not surrounded and suppressed by the Tartar soldiers, they can be completely broken individually. ”

"That's what my lord said. Tao Yan couldn't hide his excitement and said, "My lord, my subordinates please fight." ”

Lin Xiqi glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Your injury is not light, it is not suitable." ”

"Then let it be subordinate. Hong Shangrong said.

"If you leave, who will defend the city?" Lin Xiqi asked.

Hong Shangrong couldn't answer, even if the Tartar army didn't besiege the county seat now, it was not easy for him to leave, otherwise if something happened, it would be too late to rush back.
