In front of the city gate, the people with their families, carts, and horses looked at the big flag.
The Qingshan Army and the others knew that they had seen with their own eyes the power of those officers and soldiers, and had also heard of their heroic deeds in killing enemies in the North. Not only in the court's announcements, but also in the streets and alleys, the beggars and the refugees in the North praised them.
spread.
When the Jin heard their names and saw their flags, they would flee without a fight.
This is not a boast, it has been verified in several bloody battles.
Not to mention in the hearts of the people of the North, but also in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the North, the presence of the Qingshan Army means that this battle will be won.
If the Qingshan Army is here, then this city can really be defended.
The people couldn't help but feel refreshed.
"But didn't the Qingshan Army return to the North?" someone asked loudly.
This brought everyone back to their senses.
Yes, the Qingshan Army has returned to the Northland. Even if we invite them back now, they won't be able to fly with wings.
"Not all the Qingshan Army has returned to the Northland." Shopkeeper Liu said.
Not all? Who else?
The people were stunned, and footsteps came from behind. Different from the noise of everyone running and rushing, these footsteps were uniform. Although there were not many people, it sounded particularly shocking.
They had heard this kind of footsteps when the Qingshan Army entered the city.
Sure enough, is the Qingshan Army here?
The people looked back with excitement and expectation.
In the surging crowd, another group of people came, only twenty or thirty people. They were all dressed as ordinary civilians, and they were all old, weak, women and children. At first glance, they looked no different from people trying to escape from the city, but
They did not scatter in panic, but lined up in an orderly queue, and the orderly footsteps were made by them.
What's the meaning?
Qingshan Army?
They?
Are these the Qingshan Army? Are they the family members of the Qingshan Army?
The people couldn't help but look stunned.
Are you kidding?
"They are indeed the family members of the Qingshan Army." Miss Jun looked at everyone, and her eyes finally fell on Ning Yan and other city gate generals, "But saying they are the Qingshan Army is not a joke."
When Qingshan formed an army and went to the north, he knew that going there would not be as easy as fighting bandits and horse thieves, so he only selected the strong and some women. Most of the old and weak women, especially children, stayed in Qingshan. Later, they followed
Madam Xiao came to the capital.
Shopkeeper Liu bought a house for them and placed it in an alley in the middle of the capital. They lived a simple and low-key life. They used to farm and hunt in Zhanqing Mountain, but now they have arrived in the capital, and they are not timid. Under the arrangement of Madam Xiao, although they are not short of money and food,
But he also started to make a small living, like other ordinary people in the city.
Some women cook various kinds of food at home, children carry baskets and go to the streets to sell food, some elderly people help people repair various iron tools on the street, and some work in blacksmith shops, because of the exquisite repair skills, especially the craftsmanship of making weapons.
They quickly gained a foothold and no one disliked them because they were old and sick.
They have integrated into the capital in this way. If it weren't for their accents, many people would think that they have been living in the capital.
Where to live what kind of life, this so-called great hermitage, Master once said, Miss Jun saw it with her own eyes from people like Zhan Qingshan.
But they lived a life of being ordinary people, but they did not forget their identity. They trained while farming, and they still practiced in the blacksmith shop. The children herded cattle and cut grass, practiced martial arts, acted as spying posts, and walked around the streets in restaurants and teahouses.
The hawkers also run and move around without abandoning them.
"They are not just family members." Miss Jun looked at the people from Zhan Qingshan who were standing in formation under the city gate, "They are the Qingshan Army."
Although I said this, but... the generals of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division looked at the old, weak, women and children standing in front of them with complicated expressions, but how could they withstand the strong Jin soldiers with their bodies and people like this?
horse.
"We still have weapons." Miss Jun said.
Hearing her words, the people had no reaction, and the eyes of the generals and soldiers around them brightened.
Why is the Qingshan Army invincible and so feared? They indeed fought bravely. Other armies could be broken up if five people were killed in a group, but even if they only had three people left, their queue would not break up. The other thing is the artillery and carriage stones they used.
The bullets are different from other stone bullets that are commonly used to kill horses and break cars. Their stone bullets can blow up a piece of ground when thrown. There is also a terrifying one that can penetrate ten people and can be shot into a thick city wall.
flying gun.
The Ministry of War naturally hopes to make more of these, but the Qingshan Army said it was too dangerous. Making stone bullets is dangerous, and using stone bullets is dangerous. If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself. It is better for other armies not to use them for the time being. In short, they have always refused to hand over the weapon formula.
I didn't expect that the Qingshan Army still kept these weapons in the city, so there was really hope.
"One city gate and one gun carriage." Miss Jun said.
so much!
Then there's absolutely no problem.
The generals were in high spirits, and suddenly felt that there was nothing to fear about the Jin's attack.
Some soldiers also demonstrated to the people the power of artillery vehicles. The people were shocked when they heard that. With the help of weapons, everyone looked at these old, weak, women and children of the Qingshan Army, and they felt much more pleasing to the eye.
.
There were low discussions in front of the city gate, and the atmosphere was much calmer than before.
"Of course the most important thing is that there are not many of us." Miss Jun continued.
The people looked at her, then at the generals and soldiers.
The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division probably has hundreds of soldiers in the city now, and there are also hundreds of forbidden troops at the palace.
"There are also servants in the Yamen." Miss Jun said.
Even if they come down, there will only be more than a thousand people, which cannot be compared with the tens of thousands of Jin soldiers and horses that are coming outside the city.
"No, there are more of us." Miss Jun said, looking at the people in front of her, "and you."
us?
The people were startled and retreated in unison.
"There are hundreds of thousands of you." Miss Jun stepped forward and said, "With so many of us, how can we be afraid of his tens of thousands of golden soldiers?"
The people smiled bitterly.
"Miss Jun, stop joking, how can we compare with Jin Bing."
"We won't fight."
They said in confusion.
"I can teach you." Miss Jun said, "I can teach you how to fight."
She said, pointing to Qingshan Jun standing here.
"Do you know how many people there were in the real Qingshan Army at the beginning?"
"There are less than forty people. No matter how powerful these forty people are, they can't support a Qingshan Army that will scare the Jin people."
"The reason why the Qingshan Army became an army is because all the people who came to the Qingshan Army became extremely brave through the guidance of others, and the team became stronger and stronger."
"So you can also, please join us, and please join the Qingshan Army to attack the Jin people and defend the capital."
"I'm not asking you to go into battle to kill the enemy, and we don't need to go into battle to kill the enemy. We have a city to rely on and high and thick walls. I just need everyone to not panic and to help deliver weapons and rescue the wounded."
It's okay to do these things.
People, look at me and I look at you.
"What I need, what the capital needs, or what we all need is to work together to build a city." Miss Jun said again, "Please believe me, I will lead the Qingshan Army and all the officers and soldiers to defend the city, and I also ask for your help.
I will protect this capital city with us. At this time, we have no other choice. The only thing we can rely on is this city, and only this city can protect us. We must defend it, and we must save ourselves."
There was a moment of silence in front of the city gate, and suddenly a shout broke out from the crowd.
"Mom, it's done." A man shouted loudly and threw the baggage in his hand on the ground. "If you go out, you will die. If I don't want to die, then I will fight with the golden man."
With one person taking the lead, others started shouting, and the atmosphere became lively.
Ning Yan, who had been silent all the time, stood up.
"And please rest assured, there are still people coming to rescue us. The officers and soldiers in the North have already heard about the Jin raid, and they are chasing after them desperately." He said in a deep voice, "What we need to do is to defend the capital for a few days.
, when they arrive, no matter how many Jin people there are, there will only be more soldiers and horses entering the vicinity of the capital than our soldiers and horses. This is our Great Zhou. Here, our people are everywhere. Our people of Great Zhou will kill the thieves.
Everyone can be a slave."
Miss Jun raised her hand slightly.
"Kill the thieves and slaves! Everyone can do it!" The old, weak, women and children of the Qingshan Army shouted in unison.
The generals here also immediately raised their hands, and the officers and soldiers behind them raised their weapons.
"Kill the thieves and slaves! Everyone can do it!" they shouted loudly.
Everyone can kill thieves and slaves!
Kill thieves and slaves for everyone!
That's right, everyone can do it, for everyone.
The people in front of the city gate shouted loudly. Different from the previous panic and despair, this time the noise was like fire, spreading from the city gate to the city, sweeping the entire capital. (To be continued)
