Chen Ku's army arrived so quickly, and the people in the city had not yet mobilized, but! Chen Ku was not in a hurry to attack. He was not in a hurry for the city in front of him, which was within easy reach.

There is a saying in the art of war in the Central Plains that attacking the city is the most important thing, and attacking the heart is the most important thing. He also wanted to try this trick.

With a wave of his hand, a soldier behind him immediately came out of the formation.

"The defenders and people of Xihuang County are all listening. General Chen Ku is not willing to kill for life, so he is here to tell you that anyone who surrenders voluntarily will be spared death!"

"Otherwise! When the city is destroyed, the entire Xihuang County will be massacred!"

In Chen Ku's impression, the people in Daliang were more afraid of death. Even if a knife was placed on their neck, they would not dare to resist.

Yuan Langying, who was on top of the city tower, immediately clenched his fists as he looked at the group of shameless barbarians.

"These Nanli barbarians have killed so many of us in Daliang, and yet they still dare to bark here!"

The Nanli barbarians have always been untrustworthy. All the people in Daliang would rather believe that a sow can climb a tree than that the Nanli barbarians will not kill people.

"Everyone, please be alert to this general. Nanli only has 20,000 troops. Our own troops will be back soon." Yuan Langying saw the soldiers under his command holding weapons.

His arms started to tremble involuntarily. He really wanted to curse.

However, he ordered people to post the notice, but all the people in the city were indifferent. This made Chen Tanxiang, who had originally planned to mobilize the people in the city to resist the Nanli barbarians, feel like he had miscalculated.

In front of the notice, many ordinary people gathered, and some literate people read out the words on the notice one by one.

"Why, fighting in this war is a matter of being a soldier. Why should you go and die?"

"That's right, who can defeat these Nanli barbarians? They don't want to use us as cannon fodder!"

"I won't go to anyone. I have seniors and juniors. If I go to the battlefield, I will definitely die!"

…

For a time, the people of Xihuang County were afraid, but they did not take any practical actions.

In their eyes, things like war should not happen to common people like them, but! Others have shit and pissed on their heads, and these people are still immersed in their own world.

"Mrs. Hou, you see! These people are all greedy for life and afraid of death. They will only think that we are using their lives as cannon fodder." Yang Sheng beside him couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

Chen Tanxiang clenched her fists, her face was extremely red from holding back, and then! She walked directly to a high platform, immersed herself in it for a moment, and then shouted: "Cowards, a group of cowards, who do not protect their own homeland, relying on a group of young children, the old

It’s really not worth it to protect you selfish guys.”

"Look at you men, you look like men at all. You are really inferior to me, a woman."

For men who are still somewhat passionate, Chen Tanxiang's words are not only hurtful, but also hurt their self-esteem. Of course, they can't stand it.

The middle-aged men among the crowd were immediately outraged.

"Mrs. Hou, don't you be able to slander us like this just because you are the Marquis's wife? I, a man from Xihuang, have never been a coward, right?"

"right……"

Many middle-aged men protested.

Seeing such violent reactions from everyone, Chen Tanxiang felt happy in her heart. What she wanted was the man from Xihuang. This move showed that it was not hopeless.

"Then tell me, as men, why do you need me, a woman, to protect you?"

"If we were on the grassland, submissive men like you would have died long ago! Cowards, aren't you a bunch of cowards?"

Chen Tanxiang continued to stimulate.

As if they had been told what they were thinking, some men lowered their heads in shame, "This... resisting foreigners is your government's business, what does it have to do with us?"

snort!

Chen Tanxiang snorted coldly, "Why, isn't Xihuang County your home? Aren't the people standing on top defending the city your children? I tell you, my wife, the main force of the Marquis is not at home now. If we don't unite,

Xihuang County will be broken at any time, and then! When Nanli Barbarian's butcher's knife slaughters your wives and children, you will know what true powerlessness means."

"I would also like to tell you that the good life you are living now was created by the Marquis. Do you still think about the days before, when you had no food, no warmth, no warmth, and were oppressed by the court? Think about it carefully.

Men of the Western Wilderness."

Boom~

At this moment, a loud noise resounded throughout Xihuang County, frightening the people of Xihuang County.

"What's going on! Has the Nanli army attacked the city?"

The people in Xihuang County all looked sideways at the location of the city.

It was the catapult of the Nanli Army. The hard rock bombarded the city of Xihuang County, making an extremely clear and loud sound.

"Report! Madam Hou, the Nanli people have attacked the city." A soldier came quickly.

Unexpectedly, Nanli Barbarian came so quickly.

"Mrs. Hou, there are only more than a thousand people in the city. Let's go to the city to defend against the enemy!"

"What do we expect from a bunch of trash who are only arrogant to us? No matter what, we, the Yang, Huang, and Han families in Xihuang County, are willing to coexist and die with Xihuang County!"

Yang Sheng and Huang Duan immediately agreed.

These hurtful words are like sharp thorns, piercing into the hearts of the people of Xihuang.

call out!

Chen Tanxiang took out the sword from her waist and said solemnly, "It belongs to a man. If you want to protect your wife and children, follow me to the tower!"

After that, Chen Tanxiang got down from the platform and walked up to the city tower. The three masters followed closely with their private soldiers.

At this moment, even the cooks and maids of the Hou Mansion were armed.

These maids were impressed by Chen Tanxiang and also practiced martial arts.

this……

A group of people in the Western Wilderness were left looking at each other in shock.

Pooh!

"Damn, they all have two arms and two legs, who is afraid of whom?"

"Young and old men in Xihuang County who are not afraid of death, just come with me and show your support to the Nanli barbarians."

"Man, you can't go! I'm afraid..."

The woman held on to the man's clothes and refused to let him go.

The man threw the woman away.

"When the Nanli barbarians come in, we can only wait to die. We Xihuang people have never been afraid of anyone, and we have to fight against the Nanli barbarians."

"Fight! I'll go home and get the hoe."

"The women of Xihuang County, even Mrs. Hou has gone to war, what should we be afraid of?"

"Let's all take action. Send weapons to our soldiers in the Western Wilderness. Take out all the items at home that can resist the barbarians. Let's fight against the barbarians."

…

In an instant, the entire people of Xihuang County took action.
Chapter completed!
