Yuan Chao moved heavy steps and stepped on the horse path and climbed the city wall.

Yuan Feng, who was following aside, noticed that he thought his father had never had a chance to rest after entering the city and was too tired, so he helped him.

Zhao Xing, who accompanied him, followed them with others.

The general guarding the city on the city wall was the deputy inspector Qian.

This man took Yuan Chaoju into the city and stayed on the city wall. He only sent a few ordinary guards on the city wall to escort Yuan Chaoju and Yuan Feng.

A large army of bandits came outside the county town, and he immediately sent someone to send the news to the county government after discovering it.

Deputy Inspector Qian saw that inspector Zhao Xing and a group of people climbed the city wall from the horse road, and hurriedly came forward.

"The lower officials have met Commander Yuan and Deputy Qianhu."

When he got closer, he saluted Yuan Chaoju and Yuan Feng respectively.

Although neither of them was an official in Dong County, Zhenwu Wei was not far from Dong County, and any of them were an extraordinary official to him.

"You are here just right when Deputy Inspector Qian. Next, Commander Yuan will take over the city defense as the lord. You must cooperate with Commander Yuan." Zhao Xing said to Deputy Inspector Qian.

"Offer the order." Deputy Inspection Officer Qian agreed happily without any resistance.

He himself is just a deputy inspector, and there are also inspectors on his behalf. It is not his turn to command the defenders in the city to defend the city. He has no objection to whoever takes over the position of the city lord.

"Take me to see the bandits outside the city." Yuan Chaoju did not hesitate and directly gave the deputy inspector Qian the order.

"Commander Yuan, please come here." Deputy inspector Qian led Yuan Chaoju and brought the people to the front of the battlement on the top of the city. "Commander Yuan, please see, there are bandits on the north and east of the city.

The same is true in the west, with all the bandits stationed, and only the south has not yet been found."

"There are three sieges and one siege. These bandits are not bandits who don't know anything. Someone in it should know how to use troops." Yuan Feng said to his father.

Yuan Chao raised his eyes to the invading army outside the city, and said, "It is not difficult for Liu Zhe to take down the two Xuanda Palaces and find a few generals who are moving troops. As long as he defends the county town, no matter how many sides he besieges, he will not be able to do so.

use."

"What the commander said is that we just need to defend the county town of Han County. Even if the bandits surrounded the county town on all sides, it would be useless." Deputy inspector Qian praised.

Unfortunately, Yuan Chaoju didn't even look at him, which made him feel so boring.

"Father, there are a lot of bandits outside the city, probably five or six thousand. In our city, there are less than a thousand soldiers guarding the city, and these people are also distributed on several other sections of the city walls."

Yuan Chaoju showed concerns on his face, worried about whether he could defend the county town.

There are not many soldiers and horses, but it is enough to deal with small counties like Dongxian.

Yuan Chao raised his eyes and took them back from outside the city, and said in a faint tone: "Prepare to defend the city! The bandits are about to attack the city."

After saying that, he left in front of the mercer.

"Have you sieged the city?" Deputy inspector Qian poked out from the battlement and looked at the army of bandits outside the city.

After watching for a long time, he did not notice any difference between the bandits outside the city and before.

"Commander, the lower officer looked at the bandits outside the city and seemed to have no movement, not as if they were going to attack the city." Zhao Xing asked in confusion.

Yuan Chaoju, who was a few steps away from the battlement, stopped, turned around, and said to Zhao Xing: "There are cannons in the bandits. Before siege, they will use cannons to hit the city. Please take a closer look at whether the bandits push the cannons.

Come up."

Zhao Xing's eyes looked at the bandits outside the city again along the battlement.

This time he did not rush to withdraw his gaze, but waited for a while and suddenly found that someone from the bandit army had indeed walked out with a cannon cart.

"There are really artillery." Deputy inspector Qian, who was standing beside him, also noticed the movement of the bandits, raised his hand and pointed outside the city and said loudly.

Yuan Chaoju turned around and walked forward and said, "Tell the guards on the city wall to find a place to hide. Soon the bandits will shell the city wall."

"There are horizontal paves on the city walls that can be used to hide people, and a lot of wooden boards have been removed, which can be used to resist the cannons of bandits." Zhao Xing said.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Deputy Inspection Officer Qian on the other side exclaimed: "There are so many cannons, at least a dozen cannons."

Thousands of soldiers and horses brought more than a dozen cannons in the army, subverting his past common sense.

Of course, it is also related to his lack of knowledge in the deputy inspector of Dong County.

"The wooden board cannot be stopped. The bandits use heavy artillery, and they must not be blocked by bricks and stones." Yuan Chao said without looking back.

Once he had an experience, he knew very well that Liu thieves used heavy artillery in the siege of the city, which were rarely seen in border towns, and were usually used to guard the city on the top of the city. Usually, the official army went out of the city to suppress bandits.

Most of them are cannons weighing 100 or 200 kilograms, and not many of them weighing more than 300 kilograms, so it is not that difficult to carry.

However, the bandits attacking Daizhou City all used heavy artillery. Although they did not look as bulky as heavy artillery of thousands of pounds, their power was not smaller than that of such heavy artillery.

"You go and arrange it." Zhao Xing explained to Deputy Inspection Officer Qian and pursued the Yuan family's father and son.

Deputy inspector Qian, who was standing next to the squad, asked hurriedly: "How to arrange it specifically? It really should be as Commander Yuan said that the bandits used heavy artillery, and no one could stand the guards on the city wall."

"You can do it yourself." Zhao Xing waved impatiently, walked a few steps, and followed the Yuan family's father and son.

Deputy inspector Qian frowned.

This ambiguous command is the most troublesome. The incident happened because his subordinate did not understand Shangguan’s meaning. If nothing happened, everything would be Shangguan’s command.

"Father, go further and then you will be the horse path." Yuan Feng hurriedly reminded him when he saw his father was about to walk around.

Yuan Chao raised his head and said without looking back: "Stay on the city wall just to die. If you want to survive, hurry up and go down."

After saying that, he walked up the horse road a few steps and walked under the city wall.

"Didn't my father agree to Zhouxianzun to defend the city? He just came down from the city wall. It's not good!" Yuan Feng felt that it was inappropriate for his father to go down from the city wall at this time.

Yuan Chaoju snorted coldly and said, "I offended him, a county magistrate. Our father threw his life on the city wall. Let's go quickly. After a while, the bandits fired fire to attack the city. If you want to leave, it would be too late."

Hearing this, Yuan Feng followed helplessly.

But in his heart, he thought that his father was making a big fuss, but as a son, he couldn't force his father to do anything, so he had to be by his side.

"Commander Yuan, Commander Yuan." Zhao Xing chased after him from behind and said anxiously, "You can't leave, the bandits are about to attack the city. Commander Yuan cannot leave at this time!"
