The Duke's Guards and the remnants of the Seventh Legion in Konoha City were shocked. These people made their comrades, now under their own capital city, locked in cages like animals by the Dingnan Field Army, and brought down the capital Mu.
An 'exhibition' was held at the gate of Yecheng.
The first reaction of countless officers was to order the soldiers in their headquarters to cock their bows and arrows and aim at the Dingnan Field Army below the city.
At this time, more generals who had been notified of the military order reprimanded the officers one by one, "What are you doing! Put your guys away, isn't that embarrassing enough? Wait for the Duke's order!"
However, Zhu Tianci's kung fu was quite good. He was a spy lurking in Konoha City. When he drove 300 Japanese prisoners of war to Konoha City, he had already spread the news about these soldiers' capture in the city.
It began to spread wildly. One part of the Seventh Legion came from the Northern Field Army. Later, during the Battle of Konoha City, a large number of local residents of Konoha City were temporarily recruited to join the army. Now there are crazy rumors in the city that the soldiers of the Seventh Legion were determined to be south.
Upon hearing the news of the prisoners captured by the field army, the old, weak, women and children in the city rushed to the city gate crying and begging the soldiers at the city gate to save their husbands and sons.
The soldiers guarding the gate in the city pulled up a human wall. It was already chaotic outside. If these crying old, weak, women and children were allowed to climb the city wall, the scene would become even more uncontrollable.
"Everyone, stay back!" an officer shouted hoarsely, "Everyone! Everyone! Your Majesty the Duke did not block the news, nor did he plan to lie to everyone. It is true that more than 300 brothers who were ordered to die were detained by the Dingnan Field Army.
They have been captured, but we will definitely rescue them! There are tens of thousands of Dingnan field troops gathered outside the city now. If you climb the city wall now and they attack the city, it will be the people in the city who will suffer, and it will be you yourself!"
Suddenly a voice came to mind in the crowd, "Isn't the Dingnan Field Army also an army of the Qin Dynasty? Why did they attack Konoha City? Did the Duke do something to anger King Dingnan? We are all ordinary people, we just want to live a stable life.
The fight between your nobles, why should our family members die!!!"
These words were like a drop of ice water dripping into a hot oil pan. The crowd suddenly exploded, and countless people who had originally planned to retreat suddenly stopped.
Another voice rang out, "Don't believe them. Our family members worked hard in the army, and now they won't even let them look at us when we are captured. I heard from relatives who came back from the border yesterday that the Dingnan Field Army will cut off prisoners of war after they capture them."
I don’t know how my husband-in-law is doing now..."
After saying this, the woman covered her mouth and burst into tears.
"Keep an eye on the two of them!" Yu Wensheng bumped into Shen Renzhi on the city wall, "Ordinary women don't even dare to speak in public. When encountering such a situation, they would have been at a loss and panicked. Thanks to them
The two of them are still able to talk about such things so eloquently."
Shen Renzhi looked troubled, "Sir, I'm afraid this won't be easy to handle. Even if we know they are sent by the enemy, the most we can do is keep an eye on them, but we can't stop them from talking, otherwise the people in the city will definitely make more trouble.
"
Yu Wensheng shook his head, "No, you can send people to do it safely and boldly. When you see my signal, arrest them immediately. The people are not as stupid as you say. I have my own arrangements."
