Zhou Xing was enthusiastic, enthusiastic, and warmly hugged the visitors, as if he had been an old friend for many years. △ Top Novel,

He took the delicate hand of the person who came, and introduced it to everyone in an unstoppable manner: "This is the thirteen masters of the 'Dafeng Hall' that I often mention to everyone, Yang Yijie, the thirteenth master of the 'Sable Hall', and the great savior of our 'Beiliang Mountain'!"

Everyone politely clasped their fists and saluted, and they all had a question in their hearts: "This good-looking guest, is it a man or a woman......" Blood Iris asked this question directly, and was immediately met with the "big-chested" eyes of the friends next to him.

Yang Yijie smiled lightly, and made a circle of circles, and Mingrui's gaze finally fixed on Zhou Xingzao: "I just came from 'Beiliangshan', a good news, a bad news, which one is the big head ahead?"

Zhou Xingzao seemed to realize something: "Okay." ”

Yang Yijie said: "My third brother An Dongye has personally rushed to the 'Jingshi' to persuade the left minister Li Xiangye and 41 officials from the six ministries to jointly write a letter to the saint, imploring the imperial court to exempt the 'Beiliang' counties from conscription and pardon the exiled mountain people. ”

When everyone heard this, their spirits couldn't help but lift up, and they all talked about it happily:

"Now our 'Beiliangcheng' can be saved, and our people have finally come to an end. ”

"Master Li Gang Qingtian is really a good official, the emperor will definitely be sympathetic to us, we will be saved!"

"Anton Ye's third master stood up for our people and saved the people from fire and water, this is the real chivalrous man. ”

“......”

In the atmosphere of joy and excitement, Zhou Xing looked at Yang Yijie intently: "What about the bad thing? Is there an accident in the mountains?"

"Yes. Yang Yijie pursed his lips: "The sixteen fortresses of 'Beiliang Mountain' have all been wiped out by the 'Zhennan Army' of 'Butcher General' Ye Tucheng, and now this group of riots has rushed to 'Beiliang Town' here. ”

"Ahh

It was like someone pouring a bucket of cold water from the beginning, and everyone's enthusiasm and joy not long ago were frozen to the extreme, followed by boundless panic and endless fear.

- The name "General Butcher" is definitely synonymous with "destruction" and "disaster".

Everyone knew what the arrival of Ye Tucheng and his army of beasts would mean to "Beiliang Town" and even "Beiliang City".

It's like the end of the world.

Zhou Xing had been immersed in shock and remorse for a long time, and finally came to his senses, he grabbed his unkempt hair in agony, squatted on the ground, and whimpered.

Blood Iris seemed to want to step forward to comfort the temperamental boy, but Sakura's lips squirmed twice, but she didn't know what to say.

Yang Yijie patted Zhou Xing's early shoulder: "Big leader, don't be too sad, Father Chen, the eldest sister, the second sister, the third sister (see the second chapter of the "Acacia Bell" volume), and some surviving mountain people have moved to the town one after another under the protection of our 'Sable Hall' brothers, and I believe that they will arrive one after another in the near future." ”

Zhou Xingzao breathed a sigh of relief with a little comfort: "When I left the 'Bailiang Mountain' area, I explained and deployed to the leaders of the sixteen fortresses, how could I easily be completely attacked by Ye Tucheng?"

Yang Yijie said: "This 'butcher general' Ye Tucheng ranks third among the nine generals of the 'Power Gang', and is the number one ruthless general in the hands of the traitorous minister Cai Jing in recent years.

He led the troops to exterminate the 'Xujiabao' first, the villagers of 'Xujiabao' were too trusted, just thinking that the 'Zhennan Army' could not come on the pass on the mountainside, but Ye Tucheng was like a god soldier descending from the sky, killing it, all of a sudden, like a wind and clouds, caught off guard, more than 200 people up and down the 'Xujiabao' fort, all of them were killed on the spot, and the blood of the villagers stained the mountain road red.

After taking 'Xujiabao', Ye Tucheng attacked 'Lijiazhai' overnight without stopping and the knife was invisible, and the nearby 'Shangbao', 'Sunjiagou', 'Chengjiacun', and 'Baijialing' thought that they were not in danger for the time being, and they all took a wait-and-see attitude.

After successively breaking through several barrier villages, Zhang, Hu, Sima and other three patriarchs who were afraid of death took the initiative to ask Ye Tucheng to surrender, Ye Tucheng personally promised that as long as the three families were willing to help the official army take the last hard fortress 'Chenjia Village', they would pardon the three families for capital crimes, and the three families would help the army and raze the 'Chenjia Village' in one go. Afterwards, in the name of rewarding the three families for helping the officials and soldiers to quell the rebellion, Ye Tucheng summoned the people of the three families to the open land of the grain field and killed them all.

This man is well-trained and ruthless, and in his concept of killing, he only believes in one creed, that is: I alone can live, and everyone in the world can be killed. ”

"Evacuate. Mo Xiaohei proposed: "The army crosses the border, and there is no end to it." While Ye Tucheng's slaughtering army has not yet arrived, we should protect the villagers and evacuate immediately, we have already shed too much blood, and we can't sacrifice too many innocent lives. ”

Mo Xiaohei's words are undoubtedly very reasonable, but who among the villagers who were born and raised in Sri Lanka are willing to give up their homeland?

"We're not leaving. The golden shopkeeper stood up: "I'd rather be a ghost in my hometown than a stranger." I, Jin Chengwu, just fight this old bone, and I will die in 'Beiliang'!"

Daughter-in-law Zhang Manyu immediately supported: "Yes! This is our home! We won't leave!"

The fortune teller held on to the wound and shouted: "Defend Beiliang!"

The money shopkeeper who was collecting firewood stared at the bleeding one-eyed: "We fought with Ye Tucheng and Gongzi Ming!"

Li Yuanwai, who wrote the letter on behalf of him, struggled to sit up from the stretcher bed: "The entire 'Saibei' is full of chaos, where can we go? Instead of being chased and killed by them everywhere, it is better to fight with them here!"

In the end, the excited villagers all looked at the cold cold frost under the lamp.

Hua 18 said: "Second girl, the master and the eldest girl are not here, you have an idea." ”

When the lights went off, Leng Ruoshuang raised his head suddenly: "Fight!"

As the night fell, the army came again.

Zhu Siliang, a pig killer who was in charge of the outpost outside the town, ran back to report: "I'm afraid there are more than 5,000 soldiers and horses coming this time, they are all thin and dark-skinned southern barbarians, with many banners and strict departments, and the leading general is the notorious Zhennan general 'butcher general' Ye Tucheng!"

Ye Tucheng's march speed was so fast, it can be seen that he wanted to blackmail the power of the sixteen fortresses of "Beiliang Mountain" and flatten "Beiliang Town" in one go!

"Beiliang Town" has been surrounded by rioters!

Zhou Xingzao and a few scholars and monks proposed: "Tie us up and go out to see the officials to protect the people of a town." ”

This proposal was met with strong opposition from everyone present on the spot:

"What are these words! Who do you think of our fellow villagers in 'Beiliang Town'? Are we so unrighteous and afraid of life and death?" Hua Eighteen scolded with a red face.

"Hand over you, will Gongzi Ming and Ye Tucheng let us go? Don't talk in a dream? Just look at Ye Tucheng's battle, it is clear that he wants to slaughter the city!" Wen Qiqi said with a wine burp.

"Even if everyone survives, in the face of everyone's never-ending oppression and cruelty, is it meaningful to live like this?" Yang Yijie looked at everyone with clear eyes.

"At this point in the field, we are all in the same boat, Zhou Xingzao, if you say this kind of hurtful words again, you will die yourself!" The blood kis turned his face angrily, sprinkled, angry, and murdered, making the other three friends of the "Blood River Faction" embarrassed to shake their hands, laugh, nod, and apologize to the leader of the righteous army who was scolded on the spot.

Seeing everyone's attitude and reaction so fiercely, Zhou Xingzao and the others could no longer hold on.

The riot army outside the town has begun to have more than a dozen scouts come out to shout:

"Listen to the townspeople, hand over the Diao people and rebel party, and those who surrender automatically will be exempted from the crime!"

"If the good people of the town help to catch the prisoners, the general will be rewarded.

"Those who are coerced by Zhou Xing to follow the thief early, if they are willing to abandon the secret and turn to the light, the court will definitely be lenient and will not be investigated!"

“......”

The townspeople had long been accustomed to shouting at the officers and soldiers, and they were carefully guarded behind the barricades, turning a deaf ear.

Ye Tucheng saw that the shouting and warning had no effect, and he mobilized follow-up troops and horses from all walks of life, built peripheral defenses, lined up battles, and was ready to attack "Beiliang City" at any time to slaughter the "chaotic people".

The young and strong people in the town are also under the organization and command of Zhou Xingzao, Yang Yijie, Leng Ruoshuang, Hua Eighteen, Wen Seventeen and others, and they are ready to resist the layout position for a long time.

Among them, Zhou Xing had already been the leader of the righteous army after all, and had a certain amount of military experience, so the post of commander-in-chief naturally fell to him; and Yang Yijie, as the thirteenth master of the "Dafeng Hall", brought more than 20 disciples of the "Sable Hall" with strong martial arts, and became the backbone of the people's army.

In addition, Mo Xiaohei traveled south and north, with extensive knowledge, plus a wide range of books, a rough formation strategy, and Qimen Dunjia, which was of great help to the ambush of the people's army.

Although Ji Beiming is young, he is better than being calm and serious, concise and to the point, and he can grasp the key points in one fell swoop and fill in the gaps, which is naturally him.

Blood Iris, who was labeled as "big-chested and brainless" by her friends, is also a smart and meticulous girl in the end, and many wonderful and safe defensive measures were conceived by her and Xiaohong on a whim.

As the absolute number one master, Leng Ruoshuang, Hua Eighteen, Wen Seventeen and others are not idle, and they are all responsible for the alarm outposts in front and behind the town.

Despite all the preparations, something happened in the evening.

Because of the blockade of the outside world for a long time, the granary of the golden shopkeeper and the rice jars of each family were soon empty, and grain became the biggest problem at present.

In order to ensure that the men could have enough food and strength to fight against the rioters, the little daughter-in-law Zhang Manyu took more than 40 women to dig wild vegetables near the town, but they were ambushed, and the women shot more than 10 people to the archers, and the rest were arrested into the barracks to stay in adultery.
