"Master Marquis, a large number of refugees suddenly arrived outside the city. Their number is endless, tens of thousands of them!"
Just when Xiao Han occupied the fat magistrate's lounge chair and was leisurely basking in the sun, the fat magistrate suddenly rushed back from outside like a dog chasing him, and opened his mouth, such a shocking
information!
"What? Tens of thousands of people? Where do they come from!"
After hearing the news, Xiao Han, who had been extremely comfortable just now, jumped up from the recliner, widened his eyes, and shouted to the fat county magistrate!
Although he had already predicted the power of the Li family in Shandong, he was still really shocked when he heard about the tens of thousands of people. He could no longer maintain his usual composure.
The fat county magistrate was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He rubbed his hands and said anxiously: "I don't know, they are coming from all directions and are approaching us!"
"Coming from all directions?" Xiao Han forced himself to calm down, and after taking a few deep breaths, he continued to ask: "There are tens of thousands of people coming? Are they all young people here? All armed with weapons?"
"No...no!" The fat county magistrate's fat face turned sallow. He kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead and stammered: "It seems that they are all ordinary refugees.
, there were all men, women, old and young, and no weapons were seen."
"Ordinary refugees?" When Xiao Han heard this sentence, his eyes immediately focused, as if he had thought of something, and he quietly thought about it.
The fat county magistrate originally wanted to ask him what to do quickly, but seeing Xiao Han's appearance and knowing that he was thinking about something, he could only hold back and wait anxiously.
Regarding the refugees, in fact, there were already many refugees here in Shandong before the Huazhou Flood.
These so-called refugees all see no hope of harvesting this summer, and the food in their hands will no longer last until autumn.
In addition, during this disaster year, the landlord not only did not reduce rent or interest, but also forcibly increased the rent on the grounds that the landlord's home was also affected by the disaster?
The concentration of all these unnatural things has left these extremely poor people with no choice but to leave their homes and become refugees.
Originally, Cheng Yaojin, who was also from Shandong, wanted to recruit these refugees and make them auxiliary soldiers and civilians, so that they could at least have a living.
However, as the battle for Liao was completely aborted, and with the sudden flood, Cheng Yaojin's plan also came to nothing. Countless refugees are still wandering between the prefectures, caught between life and death.
Struggling hard.
"It turns out that he wants to drive these refugees to go through the thunder for him!"
After a long time, when the fat county magistrate had been waiting impatiently, Xiao Han finally woke up from his meditation, and a sneer appeared on his tight lips: "In this case, I can't let you get what you want!"
——————————————————————
On a hillside about five miles outside Ningcheng, Li Zhen, who had come all the way, was sitting on a mat made of white fox fur, holding a strange-looking copper cylinder in his hand, looking far into the direction of Ningcheng.
"Hey, it's still a step too late!"
After a long time, Li Zhen put down the cylinder in his hand and sighed slightly.
Judging from the dense crowd of people defending the city on top of the city, the other party should have known that they were coming.
He originally planned to catch the opponent off guard, but this time it was completely unsuccessful. Thanks to him, These days, we are still in such a hurry. If we had known earlier, why would we be in such a hurry?
"Master, my family is asking for your instructions. What should we do with these refugees gathered together next?"
Seeing that the young master no longer looked at Ningzhou City, but lowered his head and thought about something, the warrior who had been waiting aside quickly knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and clasped his fists, and solemnly asked him about his next plan.
"Let them attack the city and use up the opponent's firearms as much as possible."
Hearing his subordinate's inquiry, Li Zhen rubbed his hand with the "Telescope" that he had finally obtained at a great cost, and spat out a few words lightly.
His tone was relaxed, as if he didn't know what kind of monstrous evil these words would bring to Ningzhou City!
The heaven and the earth are unkind and regard all things as rudderless dogs! The saints are unkind and regard the common people as rudderless dogs!
As a lunatic who wanted to be the emperor, Li Zhen never cared about how many people died, he only cared about whether these people's deaths were of value to him!
But now, driving them to attack the city, to commit suicide, and to consume the opponent's firearms is very useful to him, Li Zhen!
During this period of time, through continuous research on firearms, Li Zhen felt that he had found the weakness of firearms, or in other words, he had found the temporary weakness of firearms!
Unlike swords and spears, these cold weapons that have been used for thousands of years can continue to chop down the second and third people after cutting down the first person, until it breaks, curls the blade, and can be thrown out.
Break other people's heads.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the owner who holds them can stay alive forever, instead of being chopped into pieces by the enemy as a vegetable.
Compared with these weapons that can be used repeatedly and have long-lasting combat effectiveness.
Although the so-called firearms are already in an absolutely overwhelming position in terms of power, their weaknesses are also obvious!
Their weakness lies in their one-time nature and unsustainability!
By studying the new fire guards under Xiao Han, Li Zhen has vaguely guessed: If someone can survive the baptism of firearms and wait until all the enemy's firearms are consumed, then the war will return to the most primitive encounter with swords.
.
By then, the so-called Sanyuan Shenhou and the so-called Heavenly Soldiers and New Fire Guards will probably have less combat effectiveness than an ordinary guard soldier!
At least the guard soldiers still carry large blades in their hands, and the new fire guards who have no firearms probably only have a small dagger for cutting flesh on their bodies.
"Woooooooo..."
The sudden sound of horns under the city was somewhat beyond Xiao Han's expectation.
He had just arrived at the top of the city at this time. He originally thought that even if the enemy wanted to take action, they would at least have to rest and shout to each other and say a few nonsense words about offering the city without killing before officially entering a state of war.
As a result, before he could clearly see what was happening outside the city, a few loud horn horns sounded among the refugees.
"Open the door!"
"Give us food!
"We want to eat, we want to live!"
At the same time as the trumpet sounded, the wandering refugees outside the city suddenly felt like they were on the receiving end of blood. Under the leadership of some people, they shouted various slogans and rushed toward the city gate with quick steps or staggering steps.
!
Suddenly, yellow dust was billowing outside the city, and black crowds were everywhere, like dark clouds covering the sky, pressing towards Ningzhou City! "Master Hou, a large number of refugees suddenly arrived outside the city, and their numbers are endless.
, there are tens of thousands of people!”
Just when Xiao Han occupied the fat magistrate's lounge chair and was leisurely basking in the sun, the fat magistrate suddenly rushed back from outside like a dog chasing him, and opened his mouth, such a shocking

For a moment, yellow dust billowed outside the city, and black crowds were everywhere, pressing toward Ningzhou City like dark clouds covering the sky!
