Qi Meng Xuanji - Chapter 218
Lin Xianyang yelled to the people in the city that he would not open the city gate today, which really caused a clamor. The difference is that after a bunch of people on the left, they picked up their luggage and left to find a place to stay overnight.
The group of people on the right was obviously also very excited. Several leaders in the shape of leaders discussed for a while, and one of them yelled to Lin Xianyang on the top of the city: “This soldier, the villain has an urgent need to enter the city, can you? Brother, please accompany me?”
Lin Xianyang would not agree: “You don’t need to say more, this official is also doing things according to the instructions above, and today I won’t open the city gate!” After saying that he retracted into the city wall, indicating that he would ignore the people below.
When the people in the lower part of the city saw that they couldn’t do anything, they stopped concealing their actions, winking at the few people around them, shook off the baggage behind them, took out the bright swords, and slashed at the civilians who had not had time to leave.
When Xuanji heard the screams from the city, the probe couldn’t help but scream.
The murderers under the city cut and killed two people, surrounded the other dozen merchants who saw the wrong situation and wanted to throw their luggage and escape, and threatened them with a knife: “Open the door faster, or they will kill them all!”
Lin Xianyang looked at Zhao Sixteen, and Zhao Sixteen said coldly: “You can’t open the city gate!”
Although Xuanji couldn’t bear it, she knew that if the gate of the city were opened to let these people in, more people would suffer! The two evils are the lesser one, and only a small part can be sacrificed when necessary.
In Zhao Shilu’s mind, Tiandadi is not as safe as his mistress. Even if the people in this city are dead, it has nothing to do with him, but the mistress cannot be dangerous, and it is best to avoid even fright.
And Lin Xianyang is responsible for protecting the safety of the residents in the city and guarding the door. Of course, protecting the people in the east side of the fort is priority over those foreign merchants who don’t know where they are coming from. So almost without thinking about agreeing with Zhao Sixteen’s idea.
Although the reality is like this, Xuanji still wanted to try if he could save people, and whispered to Zhao Sixteen: “Is Zhao Eleven here? Zhao Twenty-four is light at work. Let him go back to the government office and get the crossbow. The more the better, the better. .”
Zhao Sixteen raised his hand and made a gesture, and he saw Zhao Shiyi silently appearing behind Xuanji, carrying a large baggage on his back. It seemed that the shape should be a crossbow, and he also carried a quiver in his hand.
When Xuanji saw it, she said happily: “Huh? You carry them all with you! Great! It should be enough to scare them first. Zhao Sixteen, you ask Zhao Twenty-four to go back and get some larger crossbows. !”
Zhao Sixteen didn’t talk much, just raised his hand and made a few gestures near his ear. This was the code word used by their partners to communicate with each other when they acted. Zhao Niansi, who was hidden in the crowd, quickly dived down the tower without a trace. went.
Xuanji walked a few steps to Lin Xianyang’s side and said: “Lin Master, wait for me to say something, please follow along and shout to the city.”
Lin Xianyang just watched the conversation between them, and knew that among these people, it was this weak little girl who couldn’t hold his shoulders and couldn’t lift his hands, and even the seven-foot man with cold and murderous aura like Zhao Sixteen. They all obeyed her, and it’s best not to underestimate her, so he nodded obediently and agreed.
“The thieves under the city have listened! Let go of the hostages in your hands immediately, and spare you from dying!” Such words were spoken softly from Xuanji’s mouth, indeed without the ability to intimidate.
Lin Xianyang followed it loudly, with a loud and powerful voice, and more power, but the murderers in the city obviously didn’t take it seriously. They laughed and scolded, while raising a knife to the hostages more recently, scared the dozens of hostages. Screaming, some peeed their pants on the spot.
“Otherwise, you kill a hostage, and the officer kills you three dog thieves to lose their lives!” Xuanji said as she pointed to the crossbow that had been held by Zhao Eleven, indicating that he could do it.
Since Zhao Shiyi developed these bows and crossbows, he has always been experimenting on wooden targets in the yard, and his duty cannot leave Xuanji’s side at will. He wants to try the power of these treasures on the enemy and he is going crazy!
So today, as soon as I heard that there was a weirdness in front of the city gate, I hurriedly brought the most proud “work”, thinking that there should be a few “disobedient” guys so that he can try the power of the crossbow. Really as strong as imagined.
I was worried about the kindness of the mistress. Maybe I didn’t have the opportunity to do it. I didn’t expect the mistress to take the initiative to order him to do it. Why was he polite? !
So as soon as Lin Xianyang’s voice fell, Zhao Shiyi’s crossbow arrows were shot.
This is a crossbow that has improved the way of loading arrows. The speed of loading and opening the bow is extremely fast. Zhao Shiyi’s hand is dexterous, and the speed of the arrows is completely different from that of ordinary people. Lin Xianyang heard the chords humming around him, and looked down the city with his probe. Six murderers were already lying on the ground outside the city gate. All of them were hit by the arrow, and it seemed that they could not survive.
“They are still standing too close” Zhao Eleven was still a little dissatisfied, muttering softly. If these dog thieves stand farther away, it will look good!
Xuanji saw that six people died in the city with a single sentence, and she felt a little uneasy. Originally, she wanted to shoot one to shock them, but she didn’t expect Zhao Eleven to execute it so thoroughly. Just now, two civilians were killed. The six culprits count. But at this time, it is not easy to say anything. In fact, such a deterrent effect will be better and the hostages will be more safe.
He quickly continued to teach Lin Xianyang to make a psychological shout: “The city gate will never be opened. The killing of hostages is of no use to you. It will only hurt your personnel. I advise you to release the hostages quickly and leave. The official will never stop! If you want to take the hostages and escape, it depends on whether your feet are fast or the official’s arrows are fast!”
When Lin Xianyang shouted this time, there was no laughter or scolding below. The leaders looked at each other. It seems that today’s plot is difficult to achieve. It is better to notify the owner that things have changed as soon as possible. The messengers sent before have yet to be seen. According to the news, it was impossible for more than two hundred people to attack the east side fort by force, not to mention that there were archers on the other side’s castle.
The brothers who shot and killed on the tower just now were clearly warnings. They were all within the range of the bow and arrow.
The leader gritted his teeth and waved his hand to let a few of his men take care of the hostages. The remaining two hundred people quickly retreated. After all of them had retreated, the remaining few people pushed away the hostages and quickly followed the group to evacuate.
Xuanji watched those people slowly go away until they were nowhere to be seen, but there was no joy on her face.
Lan Xi pulled her hand and said, “It’s okay, let’s go back!”
“I’m worried about uncle. These people are so disciplined even when they retreat in a hurry. The nineteenth were officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers near Ningjing dared to attack Donglin Fort. It seems that Ningjing’s rebellion is not that simple. I don’t know if uncle is safe. Every time Xuanji thinks about this, she feels like fifteen buckets.
Lan Xi knew nothing about these military affairs and didn’t know how to comfort her.
Xuanji looked at the city and took out a one hundred taels of Shen’s business silver slip from her arms, picked up a stone on the ground, wrapped the silver slip and the stone in a handkerchief, and said to Zhao Shilu and Lin Xianyang. : “Throw it to the people in the city, let them move the corpses of the two people under the city aside, leave as soon as possible, and exchange the silver bills into two equal shares as compensation for today’s fright.”
Lin Xianyang didn’t expect that at this time she would still think of using money to appease those who had escaped from the dead, a little respect in her heart, and she quickly followed suit.
As for spending money, Zhao Sixteen’s accuracy is definitely enough.
Originally, it was good for Zhao Shiyi to tie the silver ticket to the end of the arrow and shoot it down. It was simple and labor-saving, but Xuanji really didn’t want to frighten these poor people who had suffered unjustified disasters.
Lin Xianyang respectfully sent them down the tower and then returned to the city to continue on duty.
auzw.com Before the Xuanji people returned to the official office, Lin Xianyang caught up again. This time, his expression was not beyond description, but he was panicked!
Seeing Lin Xianyang rushed to Xuanji just a few steps away, Zhao Sixteen frowned and stretched out his hand to drag around. Lin Xianyang stepped back three steps, but he couldn’t even figure out how the opponent shot.
In normal times, Lin Xianyang had been mad long ago, but just looking at Zhao Sixteen, he felt cold in his heart, thinking that he was too Meng Lang, after all, the other party was still the wife of a senior official.
This time he learned to behave and said directly to Xuanji: “Uh, miss, the murderers outside the city are back again, this time there are many more people!”
“How much is a lot?” Xuanji’s heart tightened.
“It is estimated that there are several thousand people.” Lin Xianyang felt that his throat was dry. It was the first time he encountered such a thing in the past few years when he took office. He said that he was not afraid that it was a lie.
Xuanji blinked, what day is today, didn’t it stop? Sighing, resignedly turned and walked towards the gate tower.
After two steps, Lin Xianyang suddenly asked, “How many gates are there in this city?”
Lin Xianyang said: “The three gates are in the three directions, southeast and west, but the east and west gates were used for army entry and exit in the past, and they were close to the barracks, so they were always closed.”
“Is the East Gate and West Gate safe? Will they be attacked by others?” Xuanji asked fearfully. Don’t say that you were besieged on three sides. All soldiers were formed and there were less than one hundred soldiers left. In addition to the strong ones among the residents, it was determined. There are only three to four hundred countries, and three gates are definitely not enough.
“Since the east gate and the west gate are used for armaments, the walls are thick and the gates are thick, and the gates can only be opened from the inside out, making it difficult to break.” Lin Xianyang has been a gate officer here for five years, and these things are like a few treasures.
Xuanji was still a little worried, and asked Lin Xianyang to send someone quick to go to the East and West Gate to see if there were any traces of enemies.
While speaking, he has reached the top of the tower.
Sure enough, there were a lot of murderers. A large number of people gathered outside the city gates. There were people dressed up as well as soldiers in military uniforms and armors. Although they were aggressive, they did not seem to be awe-inspiring. They seemed to be tired of rushing over. .
Several brightly dressed people with the appearance of a leader all stopped at a distance from the tower, afraid that they knew that someone had suffered from Lengjian’s loss before, and was a little cautious about Lengjian’s illusion.
From a distance, when officials walked up the tower, some of the leaders began to shout: “The officers and soldiers of Donglin Fort will come out and surrender quickly, otherwise they will kill a chicken and dog when Prince Ning Jun attacks the city. Do not stay!”
Xuanji was busy estimating the feasibility of staying at the east fort and waiting for rescue, and was too lazy to deal with these nonsense.
Judging from the terrain near the east fort and its own city walls, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the opponent did not bring the tools to attack the city. It is very difficult to attack. They obviously have not enough manpower to besiege the city. There are wells in the city. There is a live spring near the backing wall, so it shouldn’t be difficult for one to sustain it for a few days.
Ning State has now been annexed by Ji State. If there is a large-scale change, the army should be able to find out soon and come to rescue. As long as it lasts a few days, it will rain and clear.
Thinking about it this way, my heart was settled, but I was worried that uncle did not know what was going on.
After a while, the leaders of the rebel army did not react at all when looking at the people in the city, their curses became louder and louder, and their words began to become more and more inferior.
The curse here, Xuanji couldn’t understand it, even if she understood it, she wouldn’t take it to heart. In her previous life, she wandered around in society for a few years. He hadn’t heard any swear words, and it had been used as a modal particle.
But Lan Qinglan’s face became more and more ugly.
Xuanji was not angry when they heard the words “Ningyue **** climbed onto the bed of Emperor Ji Guogou, and Wan Su and the traitor relied on the **** niece to betray the country for prosperity and get rich in Ji Guo.” The people around him were furious. Lan Qing, who had always been gentle, wanted to grab the crossbow from Zhao Shiyi’s hand. Zhao Shiyi flashed slightly and said in a deep voice, “Let me do this kind of thing.”
After saying that, he raised his crossbow and opened his bow, aiming at the three people who shouted and fired three arrows.
Under the gaze of everyone, beyond the nearly twice the normal range of the bow and arrow that the leaders thought they were safe, the three sharp arrows almost indiscriminately, with the sharp and subtle sound of breaking wind, passed directly through the scolding. The mouths of the leaders of the three rebels pierced their heads from their mouths, and the three of them shook their bodies and fell to the ground instantly.
The rebels are clamoring, what arrow is this? ! The dozens of people in the rear team who saw the death of three people were so scared that they could shoot so far, so accurate, and so ruthlessly. They couldn’t help but back up several steps. The formation that was originally neat was messed up.
The squadron saw that the rear team retreated inexplicably, and originally rushed to the middle of the road, and then retreated together.
The front team had already rushed down to the city. When they saw no one behind them, they were shocked. There was a rush to attack the city, and the noise broke out.
Xuanji was both happy and confused when he saw it at the head of the city. Before seeing the two hundred rebels clearly advancing and retreating, although they were not defeated, how could the helper they found was so weak?
It’s really like the end of the crossbow, are these actually the rebels who were chased here and wanted to find a stronghold to resist the stubborn resistance? Thinking of this, I immediately lifted my spirits.
But after another thought, it wasn’t right. Even if you occupy this city, you won’t be able to hold on for long. Could it be that you are still waiting for the army to be surrounded and killed here?
In fact, these people are the rebels that Ning Jun and Chengguo colluded with. There were Ning Jun’s personal guards, and Chengguo sneaked into sergeants in batches. I originally planned to do a big fight in Ningjing, but I failed everywhere before I started. Fortunately, someone kept revealing information about Ji Guoping’s rebel leader Wan Suhe.
In panic, Ning Jun could not take care of his family and relatives, and threw them all in the capital. He brought his pro-army to join Cheng Guo’s squad, intending to flee to Cheng Guo, but there are many checkpoints on the road. I am afraid that they have thousands of people. The team will be wiped out halfway through.
The generals sent by Chengguo offered advice, it is better to tie an important hostage before leaving to keep the road safe.
This hostage is naturally Xuanji. The mysterious person’s message to them mentioned that Wan Suhe brought three female relatives with him this time. One of them is most likely the Queen of the Kingdom of Ji and Ning Yue, the former lord of Ningguo—this news is Yue Ni Originally, he didn’t intend to disclose it to Ning Jun and the others, but Zuo Jinsong disclosed it privately. The purpose was nothing more than to try if he had the opportunity to use Ning Jun’s hand to eradicate this confidant of his own emperor.
