Don’t think that when you enter the Zhenguan period, you will see peace in the world and people living and working in peace and contentment!
What is said in the book: businessmen traveling wildly, no more thieves, long prisons, cattle and horses everywhere, and no door closed...
First, it was already the late Zhenguan period, and society was indeed much more stable.
Secondly, the literati at that time deliberately whitewashed the peaceful world in order to cater to Li Shimin, who was increasingly obsessed with success.
In fact, things like thieves and strongmen cannot be completely eliminated no matter what era! Even in the highly civilized post-social era, don’t we still see news of robbery and theft from time to time?
And in today's early Zhenguan period, after experiencing the turmoil of the demise of the Sui Dynasty, the baptism of the Eighteenth Route rebels, and the impact of Li Shimin's forced change of dynasties, countless homeless people were born who could not walk in the light.
Although their identities are hidden, homeless people are also human beings. They also need to live and eat! In addition, they cannot farm and work, so robbery has become their only means of survival.
Of course, those who are currently attacking Nanyang City are not all such people. There are also some lazy people who are lazy and just want to make quick money. Little do they know that sometimes this quick money can really cost them their lives.
Get in!
When Liu Hongji heard the cry of killing, it was when the thieves had just entered the city!
Because they had to go out to rescue Xiaoye Village, the city gate of Nanyang City was not completely closed. The thieves who had been ambushing outside the city for a long time saw this opportunity, swarmed up, quickly occupied the city gate, and were now rushing into the city with cheers.
go!
"Brothers, rush! All the treasures and women in Nanyang City today belong to us!"
Among the chaotic thieves, a man with a full beard stood out. He was holding a long knife and majestically rushing to the front. His heroic laughter resounded through the night sky!
However, this means that Xiao Han and Liu Hongji are not here. If they were here and saw the appearance of a man, they would all spit out: Idiot!
Sure enough, after the man laughed!
On the originally empty street rooftops and balconies, a large group of archers suddenly appeared with arrows on their backs! After seeing the thieves rushing out of the city gate, they immediately opened their bows and nocked arrows, and arrows rained down on the thieves like raindrops!
"not good!!!"
In front, the man who took the lead to rush out saw all this, and before he had time to be frightened, the arrows like a violent storm came towards him! No matter how the man danced the long knife in his hand, he could not withstand the all-pervasive rain of arrows.
!
"Swipe, swipe, swipe..."
Countless arrows rained down from the sky! The officers and soldiers who were just pretending to be in front of the thieves were already running back!
You can't run away! Who knows what the level of these archers the master has found is, if you were not careful and shot them to death, wouldn't it be unfair?
Bow and arrow!
It is indeed a murder weapon in the cold weapon era!
After a hail of arrows, the man who had been laughing wildly just now stared angrily and fell to the ground helplessly.
There were more than a dozen arrows stuck in his body, and blood flowed out along the arrow shafts, making him look particularly miserable.
"Boss! This is wrong! Why are there archers in this city!"
In the city gate, there were thieves roaring! This was different from what they thought! They thought that as long as they rushed into the city, Nanyang City would immediately be like a little daughter-in-law who took off her clothes, allowing them to plunder and ravage them in every possible way.
!I never thought that this little daughter-in-law would suddenly transform into a deadly dominatrix!
"No, brothers, retreat first!"
When things came to this, the leader among the thieves also realized that something was wrong. They were bandits, not dead soldiers attacking the city. Seeing that the situation was not right, the first thought was to retreat! However, before they could run away, they
I heard another loud shout of killing coming from outside the city!
It turned out that the three hundred soldiers who were supposed to rush to Xiaoye Village turned back and completely blocked them at the city gate!
"This is a trap!"
Looking at the long dragon-like torches behind him, the face of the thief leader immediately turned as pale as earth!
All he was thinking about at this time was that in the past winter, he would scatter some wheat grains on the snow and put up a woven basket to lure the greedy sparrow into his own trap! But now, wasn't he the sparrow that was attracted?
Nanyang City is like a frame that covers your head!
"Boss! What to do! The ruthless officers and soldiers are playing dirty tricks!" The thieves crowded together in the city gate roared in despair!
There is an arrow in front, and there are pursuers behind! Is it possible that they who traveled across the Qinling Mountains will capsize in this ditch this time?
"What to do? Get out!"
Seeing the officers and soldiers behind him getting closer and closer, archers in front also jumped into the street and shot arrows into the city gate. The leader of the thieves knew that if he didn't make a decision, they would all be confessed here today, so he raised his heart and roared angrily.
, take the lead to rush out of the city!
"Kill!"
"Come on!"
Countless roars rose into the sky. Under the pressure of death, these thieves burst out with the most violent desire to survive! They rushed madly outside the city and fought with the soldiers who returned to defend themselves!
Although the soldiers at the gate of the city were already prepared, they did not expect that the thieves would be so fearless and fearless, especially the first two people who rushed out. One was as strong as a mountain, and the other was as powerful as a ghost!
With these two people as the vanguard, the oncoming team was instantly torn open, and then more thieves rushed in through the opening. They did not confront the officers and soldiers head-on, but just chopped and disrupted them randomly! Wait!
The officers and soldiers were unprepared for a moment, immediately formed their formation and disappeared into the vast night!
"What, the thief ran away! How much did he run away!"
In the governor's mansion in the city, Governor Wu, who was nervously waiting for news, heard the report from his subordinates, and his expression changed immediately!
This was an anti-bandit operation that he had planned for a long time, and he did not hesitate to use Nanyang City as a bait. But in the end, the culprits ran away. How could he let him swallow this sigh of relief?
"A hundred people ran away! It was too dark, the thieves went crazy again, and there were several masters! The brothers outside the city couldn't stop them at all, and the archers you asked for in the city didn't dare to shoot arrows, so... let them run away
Already..."
The subordinate looked at the master's livid face, swallowed hard, and then stuttered to report the situation of the battle at that time.
In fact, this is not to blame for the incompetence of the officers and soldiers in fighting! One side is fighting for their own lives, and the other side is fighting just for a mouthful of food. The result is already doomed!
The only reason to blame is that there are too few officers and soldiers. If there are not only 500 people in the city, but 5,000, then the thieves will definitely be unable to fly even if they have wings!
Of course, if there were really five thousand people in the city, then these thieves would probably not even dare to come!
"Okay! I understand!" Staring at the person who reported the message, Wu Cishi's expression changed three times, and in the end he could only let out a long sigh.
Although not all the thieves were wiped out this time, after this heavy blow, they must not be able to run rampant in the Qinling Mountains like before.
