When the first ray of sunshine from the east shines through the morning glow and onto the city wall of Anping County.
The city guard Ding Wensan, who had been feeding mosquitoes at the head of the city all night, finally stretched out with his spear in his arms and staggered towards the bottom of the city.
"**, they also said that there are some Goguryeo people. I stayed here all night and didn't even see a ghost!"
Just as Wen San was cursing in a low voice and stepping down the steps, suddenly, the city wall under his feet began to tremble slightly!
Following this, there was a "dong dong dong" sound, as if countless bulls were running across the ground, causing the dust on the city bricks to fly up!
"What's going on!"
At this moment, Wen San woke up completely! Realizing that something was wrong, he suddenly turned back and looked out through the gap in the female wall!
But on the road outside the city, at some point, there was a burst of smoke rising into the sky!
In the smoke and dust in the sky, countless fast horses can be vaguely seen, running crazily towards Anping City!
"Oh no, the Goguryeo people are really here!"
After that, a scream so sharp that it broke the sound came from Wen San's mouth! The silence of the morning was instantly broken!
"Who's screaming so early in the morning?"
"Goguryeo? Very Goguryeo...ah! Goguryeo!"
Below the city, there were curses!
Those people who were closer across the city wall woke up from their sleep and were gritting their teeth to greet this guy who was disturbing their dreams! But suddenly they felt something was wrong!
When they heard the horse's hooves rolling towards me in shock and confusion, they realized what they were doing. Their faces turned pale with fear, they were trembling and wanted to crawl under the bed!
"Qiang Qiang Qiang Qiang..."
The rapid gongs were struck one after another! In the blink of an eye, they were all connected!
Following the warning gong, countless people in the city also went crazy!
Some are hurriedly looking for a place to hide, some are desperately collecting gold and silver, and some are rushing to the streets, thinking of rushing out of the city before the enemy sieges the city. In short, the county town today is so chaotic and chaotic!
The reason why there was such chaos was that the enemy came too suddenly! They also arrived in the early morning, leaving them without any defense at all!
As the magistrate of Anping County, Wang Mengcai.
Last night he wrote and tore up a letter to report his meritorious service. He was busy all night and it was almost dawn before he went back to his bedroom and lay down.
As a result, as soon as these eyes closed and before they could fall asleep, they heard the sound of gongs outside that sounded like a reminder of death!
Wang Mengcai was so shocked that he rolled off the bed. He didn't even have time to put on his pants, so he threw on some clothes and rushed out!
"What's wrong! What's wrong!"
When Wang Mengcai rushed to the street in a hurry, he realized that the street was already full of panicked people running back and forth!
Seeing such a scene, he didn't care about anything else. He grabbed a commoner who ran past him and shouted at him: "Speak quickly! What's going on!"
"The Goguryeo people are here, and they are here to take revenge!"
The person caught by Wang Mengcai was a middle-aged man with a simple and honest appearance. At this time, this man was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs were shaking like chaff, and he only repeated in horror: "The Goguryeo people are coming, they are here to take revenge!"
"
"What? Goguryeo!"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Wang Mengcai's body shook violently, and his hands relaxed unconsciously!
When the honest middle-aged man saw this, he hurriedly broke away as if he had been granted amnesty, and then he was like a headless fly, not knowing where to go.
"The Goguryeo people are here? Why are they here again? Is it possible that they really come to take revenge on us?"
"Wang County Magistrate?!"
Just when Wang Mengcai was filled with horror and didn't know what to do.
The side door of the Yamen not far away also opened. Xiao Han led Xiaodong and several others and rushed out. Seeing Wang Mengcai standing blankly in the middle of the street, he immediately shouted to him!
"Master Hou!"
Awakened by this shout, Wang Mengcai suddenly seemed to have found his backbone. He slapped his thigh and rushed towards Xiao Han. While running, he did not forget to shout loudly: "The Lord Marquis is not good, not good! Goguryeo!"
People are coming!"
"The Goguryeo people are coming?"
Unlike the panicked Wang Mengcai, Xiao Han is also experienced in battles!
After hearing the news, although he was shocked, he quickly calmed down and asked in a deep voice to Wang Mengcai, who was running over: "How many people are there? What weapons do they bring! Do they have any siege equipment?"
"Ah?!" Wang Mengcai, who was confused by Xiao Han's barrage of questions, finally calmed down a little! He quickly looked back in the direction of the city gate, shook his head and said anxiously: "No... I don't know.
! I also heard the gong sound! I ran out just now!"
"Hmph, do you know what's important?"
Seeing Wang Mengcai's confused look when he asked the question, the idiot next to Xiao Han rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly: "Aren't there just a few Goguryeo people? With the bravery of County Magistrate Wang, just lead people out of the city to kill them.
!”
"What? Go out of the city and kill them?"
After hearing what the idiot said, Wang Mengcai's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver!
He naturally knew that when the fool said this, he was insinuating that he had taken credit yesterday.
However, that credit was so important to him. It was almost the last chance in his career. How could he not seize it?
Besides, I can’t call it grabbing credit...
He led others to kill people! He led others to cut off the heads! Even the corpses were buried under his command!
In this way, in the report of meritorious service that he finally wrote last night, he did not forget to write Xiao Han as the behind-the-scenes commander of the battle. This is interesting enough anyway.
"Stupid!"
Similarly, Xiao Han also saw the embarrassment on Wang Mengcai's face, and hurriedly drank the fool, and pushed the fool back angrily. Then he took a long breath and said to Wang Mengcai: "Now is not the time to gossip!
I'll go to the city wall first to check the situation. Magistrate Wang, you immediately organize the brave people from the countryside to prepare to defend the city! The more people, the better, no matter whether they have experience or not, we all need them?"
"Ah, oh! Good! Good!"
Speaking of which, during a siege, the city head is the most dangerous place, and people of Xiao Han's status should never be allowed to take risks!
After all, if something bad happens to him, such as being hit by a stray arrow or hit by a catapult.
Even if the city is defended in the end, Wang Mengcai, a county magistrate, will most likely need to move!
But now, Wang Mengcai, who suddenly heard that the Goguryeo people were coming to kill him, was already confused. He didn't think about it at all! He just nodded subconsciously, and then ran out to recruit people to prepare to defend the city!
