Chapter 163: Unexpected Situation (Please vote for me)
The young man is captured.
Not to mention the civilians in the city, as well as the warriors from various families, as long as they are meritorious warriors, in fact, many people have been recruited one after another to defend the city these days.
The thieves are so powerful that it is obviously impossible to withstand them just by relying on the county defenders and the Yamen warriors.
Because, according to the news Liu Zheng received, among the bandits currently besieging Xiahe County, there are more than ten Qi Qi martial artists alone.
Not to mention the number of warriors who forge bones and change marrow.
With such strength, if the opponent really does not care about casualties, Xiahe County will never be able to defend it.
And as the county magistrate of Xiahe County, Liu Zheng did not dare to abandon the city and flee.
Now we can only bite the bullet and recruit all available forces in the city to defend.
So, even though the other party has always been very opinionated in the past, I can't wait to find an opportunity to kill him.
But now that I see Fang Yue, I feel sincerely happy.
As for Fang Yue, he felt helpless and had to give in.
After all, he was also afraid of the fall of Xiahe County.
When the rebels enter the city, even he will not dare to guarantee the safety of his family.
So, at least two people who were hostile to each other in their hearts and even wanted to kill each other can now temporarily cooperate.
Because Fang Yue held an official position, although he was not an official in Xiahe County, he was still entrusted with an important task by Liu Zheng and became the deputy general of the West Gate to assist in defending the city.
The chief officer guarding the west gate is naturally Liu Zheng's confidant, a fat-bellied Yizui warrior.
After greeting Fang Yue, the chief guard of the West Gate, Mr. Lin Sizheng, smiled and invited Fang Yue to enter a room above the West City Gate.
As soon as you enter the room, you will see a table of good wine and meat, and there are even two young women in gauze serving the food and wine.
Fang Yue glanced at it and understood immediately.
I didn't expect that at this point, the general guarding the city would be so slack and openly drinking and having fun here.
He simply has no regard for the laws of the royal court and does not take the laws of the court into consideration at all.
"Haha, Mr. Fang, when you come to my brother's place, treat it as if you are at your own home. Don't be restrained. Caixia, please hurry up and greet Mr. Fang." Lin Shoubei ordered with a smile.
“Yes, Master Lin!” Caixia immediately greeted Fang Yue with a smile on her face and poured wine for Fang Yue.
“Master Fang, please!”
After taking the wine glass, Fang Yue held it up without any pretense and took a sip.
Do as the Romans do. Since this is the other party's banquet, Fang Yue doesn't have any courtesy.
In the final analysis, he is just a temporary deputy general who has some dirty ties with Liu Zheng. He is not an official of Xiahe County, so it is not his turn to take care of these things.
Seeing Fang Yue's expression change, Lin Shoubei laughed: "Master Fang feels that it is inappropriate for me to have a banquet and drink here."
"How could it be? Master Lin is worrying too much. ." Fang Yue replied with a slight smile.
It's wrong, it's definitely very wrong.
Drinking and sex can lead to trouble, let alone the current situation. Bandits and bandits are approaching the city and may attack the city at any time.
If the enemy attacked the city while they were drunk and the chief officer was not around, wouldn't the defenders be in chaos? When that time comes, can we still defend the city?
“Hey, Mr. Fang doesn’t know something. Although there are many thieves and bandits below, there is no way those mud legs can get up the city wall. As long as you guard against those warriors, you will have no worries.”
Lin The guard looked at Fang Yue with a smile, and then continued: "And I am acting like this on purpose. I am trying to lure the snake out of the hole and kill all the warriors who are attacking the city. Then the west gate will be safe."
"I see, Mr. Lin is so clever!" Fang Yue said with a slight smile.
Then, I took a serious look at the other party, and I didn’t know that this Lin Shouwei didn’t look like a military attache, but more like a businessman.
In the end, he really wanted to confuse the fake with the real and lure thieves and military men into a trap. Or just talk.
Not long after, the banquet ended with a word from you and me.
After the banquet, Fang Yue came to the top of the city and looked up at the bandits not far below the city.
Now we can no longer call them thieves, they should be called thieves. The front of these thieves is dark. They look like they are wearing rags and dragging their families with them. They look like they are villagers who have fled from various places. Now they have been brought here and become thieves. The vassal of the army attacking the city.
Such a situation made many powerful arrows and crossbows on the city wall useless.
Afterwards, there was actually a group of thieves, numbering in the thousands, wearing leather armor and holding standard weapons.
These sergeants had obviously received formal training. They exuded murderous intent and looked even more elite than the county guards.
“These rebels also used flags to communicate with the rebels at other surrounding city gates. They are indeed not ordinary soldiers!”
Standing on the city, Fang Yue couldn't help but sigh after seeing the soldiers and horses between the two city gates changing their formations according to the command of the flag soldiers.
Obviously, these are elite thieves who have fought in battles and have at least undergone relevant training. They cannot be transformed from refugees in a short period of time.
Before Fang Yue could finish sighing, the formation change of the rebel army had ended, and then they were slowly advancing towards the west gate of the county.
Sure enough, not long after, the west gate of the county seat ushered in the bandit army's first attempt to attack the city.
The ladders were pushed forward by the people who came with the ants.
However, under the vigorous defense of many soldiers, the trapped people collapsed uncontrollably after suffering too many casualties.
The scene was momentarily chaotic.
Naturally, the thief army could no longer organize an attack, and the thief army's first trial ended here.
"The thieves are just thieves after all. They are not worth mentioning. They are far inferior to the elite officers and soldiers."
Lin Shoubei was naturally overjoyed when he saw the great victory. said.
Upon hearing this, all the military attachés under his command also followed suit and praised Lin Defei for his wisdom and prowess, but Lin Defei accepted it without humility.
If you didn’t know better, you would really think you were fighting a winning battle.
The Wei Dynasty has not seen such chaotic wars in places for hundreds of years.
I am afraid that the guards usually rely on their elite combat power to suppress and sweep away the bandits. There has never been a battle of this scale, so these military attachés are inevitably complacent.
So, the real elite of the rebel army did not take action, and those warriors and martial arts masters also did not take action. Whether they can hold on is still unknown.
~~~~~
The next day.
The thieves attacked the city again.
Same as yesterday, this time it was still a tentative siege.
Neither the warriors nor the elite warriors stepped forward, but continued to drive the common people to attack the city.
After still leaving corpses everywhere, they retreated again.
On the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day.
It was like this for three days in a row.
On the sixth day, there were not many people left who had been driven away. This time the regular troops of the rebel army finally launched.
The attack started in an orderly manner. All kinds of siege equipment were transported to the front of the city. Those armored soldiers were obviously veterans. In just a few charges, they almost breached the city.
The guard soldiers on top of the city were found to be difficult to resist.
It took many warriors to interrupt the opponent's attack. Of course, it went so well, but Fang Yue also shot cold arrows from time to time, killing the bandit army's little leaders and captains one by one, causing confusion in the other party's command.
However, after repelling the enemy's attack, Fang Yue stopped shooting arrows.
Don't overdo it. If the bandit army notices him, there is no guarantee that he will not be noticed. When the opponent's warriors take action and focus on dealing with him, it will be bad.
More importantly, if you perform too much and are 'assigned' more dangerous tasks, you will be in trouble.
On this point, we have to be careful.
After all, Lin Shou's official position is the same as his own, and he can't command him, but the county magistrate Liu Zheng can.
This is something we have to guard against.
“Let’s take a look. So far, the opponent’s martial arts masters have not taken action, and they don’t know what the conspiracy is!”
According to Liu Zheng, the opponent has more than an even number of martial arts masters.
And more bone forging, marrow changing, and martial arts. If they are all activated and dedicated to one, they can really break through the city defense.
Either Liu Zheng’s information is wrong, or this bandit army has another conspiracy.
"So, I will look at the development of the situation. If it is really impossible to do anything, I must find a way to leave with my parents and family before the city is destroyed."
Fang Yue thought.
If the county seat cannot be defended, the worst possible outcome is to give up one's career and career, give up one's current family business, and leave with one's family to avoid trouble in other state capitals.
It is impossible for this bandit army to have such strength in every state capital of the Wei Dynasty.
~~~~~
On the eighth day, the bandits continued to attack the city.
This time we almost broke through the south gate, and the entire Xiahe County became in danger.
"Hey, I'm still not decisive enough. If I had rushed back the day I got the news, I'm afraid I would have taken my parents and family to Shanyang City by now."
Seeing this, Fang Yue couldn't help but sigh.
That night, Lin Shoubo came to look for Fang Yue, and then took Fang Yue to the county government hall.
Walking to the county government hall, Wei Fangyue saw more than a dozen military attachés, some of whom he had seen before and some who had not.
Fang Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that this scene seemed familiar.
He suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and walked into the main hall. Not long after, several more military attachés came, and the number of people in the main hall reached more than 20 people.
In the main hall of the county government office, the person taking the main seat was not the county official Liu Zheng, but another old man in black with a thin face but sharp eyes.
At this moment, the dignitary of the county actually served the old man tea and water, showing great respect.
From his words, Fang Yue learned that the old man was an inspector from Fucheng Sitianjian, with an official rank of sixth rank.
As for his cultivation, Fang Yue couldn't see through it, but from a feeling point of view, this old man was much stronger than the Blood Dragon Platform thief leader he killed some time ago.
I don’t know why this person came to Xiahe County?
"This time, I have come to you all because I have something important to tell you."
Seeing that the people were almost here, Liu Zheng stood up and looked at the military attachés. Then he said.
"This time, King Wucheng rebelled, and the emperor was furious. The imperial ministers have been sent to take action, and King Wucheng will inevitably be unable to escape."
The words fell.
Many military attachés looked shocked. These people obviously did not know about the imperial enshrinement.
“You don’t need to know too much, you just need to know that every statue enshrined by the dynasty is already a member of the Immortal Stream, and their strength is far above that of the Xiantian Wuzong!”
Forging the base warrior, feeling the energy Martial master, innate martial sect.
This is everything that ordinary martial artists can know about martial arts practice. When you reach the Xiantian Martial Sect, you already have the power to control the country.
One person can fight against thousands of armies, and the world is so vast that it can come and go.
There are even rumors that the innate Wuzong has a lifespan of 500 years, but I don’t know whether it is true or not.
Suddenly hearing this, every military attache in the main hall couldn't help but take a breath.
"I have called you here today because I have something to do for you."
As soon as the words fell, the military attaché sitting in the front took over. : "Please give me your instructions, my subordinates. He must have been shocked."
Seeing this scene, Liu Zheng couldn't help stroking his beard and said: "I will select ten people from among you to obey the orders of Inspector Fang and cooperate with Inspector Fang."< br>
Inspector Fang? !
Cooperate with the other party?
Hearing this, Fang Yue couldn't help but frown, always having a bad feeling.
This person has such a level of cultivation and comes here secretly. The task he has to perform is not simple.
In this case, this mission must be very dangerous.
Could he be going out of the city to assassinate the rebel leader?
Moreover, Liu Zheng was afraid that he would use this opportunity to stumble him.
Thinking about this, Fang Yue couldn't calm down.
"Haha, you don't need to be so nervous. This mission is not difficult. We will not ask you to go out of the city to assassinate the leader of the bandit army. It is just to arrange some... well, ingenuity in the city."
Seemingly seeing the nervousness and timidity of those present, Liu Zheng immediately added.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, the nervous military attachés around them felt a lot more relaxed.
Since we don’t leave the city, there is no risk in coming here.
In addition, when performing this task, there is no need to guard the city, so it is much safer. For a while, many military attachés seemed a little eager to give it a try.
However, it is obvious that who should be used and who should be sent does not have to be volunteered.
But let the new Supervisor Fang choose it personally.
Surprisingly, but not at all surprised, Fang Yue was finally selected.
When he heard that he was selected, Fang Yue immediately looked at Liu Zheng, trying to see something from his face.
Sure enough, Liu Zheng also looked over at this moment.
Fang Yue saw a hidden light in the other party's eyes.
Immediately, I was sure that it was indeed related to this person.
After selecting the manpower, the other military attaches went back to continue the defense.
Fang Yue and others were led to a temple in the west of the county by the Shanyang Prefecture Si Tianjian Supervisor, who also had the same surname as Fang.
Obviously this place seemed to have been cleared. It was guarded by elite soldiers under the night, but there was no one inside the temple.
This temple is old, but the incense seems to be very ordinary.
At least if the incense is good, Fang Yue will not have heard of this temple.
However, at this time, Fang Yue, who was following the team, became curious about how Inspector Fang brought them to the temple.
At this time, Xiahe County was besieged by rebels.
And what do they do when they come here?
