Wang Fubo, the magistrate of Wuchao County, was anxious and angry. The two hundred-household residences were not close at hand, but they could only be walked in the space of a cup of tea. This was an ox cart. How many times did they go back and forth in a day?
Even if there is a flood, there are boats in the local area all year round. Have all the boats sunk?
"My lord, I'm afraid something unexpected has happened."
Wei Hao looked at the demonic mist that still lingered in the distance, and he was wary. The demonic mist stretched for at least a hundred miles, and even the river was obscured, making it completely unclear.
"Did our Wuchao County...become an isolated city?"
He was panicking, but Wang Fubo didn't panic. He stroked his beautiful beard and thought about a solution.
If you procrastinate, you must continue to procrastinate, but procrastination is only a way. At this time, self-help is also necessary.
At that moment, Wang Fubo said to the county captains on his left and right: "Please organize the village heroes to inform the people in the city and tell them the truth, and then recruit young men and women to prevent unexpected events! If reinforcements do not arrive, we and the officials and the people will work together to defeat the monster!"
"yes!"
The county lieutenants on the left and right quickly agreed. Now that they have Wei Xiangxiang, they are quite confident.
Not all the people in the city have seen the demons. Now that they heard that Wei Xiangxiang was killing demons and feasting on the top of the city, many people wanted to defend the city out of curiosity.
They didn't think about slaying demons, they just wanted to see how Wei Xiangxiang ate the demons.
"How many generations have our Wuchao County resisted the 'tide disaster'? Are we still afraid of this time?"
"The demon king wants people in our Wuchao County, how can we agree to it! Think there is no one in our Wuchao County?!"
"We must never give up our hometown! We will fight the monsters!"
The government officials at the top of the city were not as brave as these ordinary people. After the weapons were distributed in the county arsenal, the county captains organized teams according to the families in the village. The men were young and strong, wearing strong weapons and armed with weapons, and the women, old and young, carried supplies. The whole five tides
The momentum of the county is really different.
Wang Fubo had a feeling in his heart and knew that this was what the people wanted, so he immediately sighed: "The local people have only asked for peace in the sea and have no other demands. It can be said that the people's hearts are simple."
"The people in the city resisted bravely, and the county magistrate added a large army, not to mention the monster!"
"Elephant, this demon king is hesitant to move forward, so he must have some means. Now that the city is covered, it must be that he is isolating the outside world, so that other places don't know that our Wuchao County is in trouble."
Speaking of this, Wang Fubo said to Wei Hao sincerely, "If the demon is too powerful, please ask the elephant to break out of the encirclement alone and go to the outside world for help. I have the responsibility to defend the territory. I only hope that one day, the elephant can avenge me."
"Hao, I will obey the order of the county magistrate!"
Without making any pretentious remarks, Wang Fubo is well-informed. He is a "Five Tide Chuanlu" and has seen the methods of demons. Maybe he also has experience in fighting demons. Wei Hao's judgment on the army of demons cannot be better than
Wang Fubo.
Therefore, Wang Fubo decided on a way out, and Wei Hao chose to follow it.
"The demonic fog is still lingering. No one knows what methods the demon king will use."
Wang Fubo was very worried, but although Wei Hao was also worried, he didn't show it.
At the top of the city in the north of the city, he must maintain his momentum and have an invincible attitude.
If you are a little weak, you will be noticed by the demon, and by then, you will really be doomed.
He is now the source of confidence for the soldiers guarding the city. Anyone can show fatigue, but not him.
With the presence of Wei Xiangxiang, the entire city was fully prepared, and there was no fear of monster attacks.
However, Wang Fubo is not only worried about the demon's attack, but also that Wuchao County has now become an isolated city. Without contact with the outside world, supplies are being used less and less.
People eat horse chews. Even if the county government warehouse is opened, it will not be able to control it for a few days.
Fortunately, the local wealthy households are not stupid. Once the city is destroyed, keeping their own food will be used as feed for the demons. It is better to contribute it now and it can be counted as meritorious service.
It's just that some merchants from other places are unwilling to do so. What's more, they say that the demon only wants Wei Hao. If they give him to the demon, won't everything be safe?
These merchants did not wait for Wang Fubo to issue a license plate to arrest them, but they were turned over to the county government by the local people and punished for a serious crime of deceiving the public and shaking the morale of the army.
"Ming Mansion, if no grain ships dock, the city's grain reserves can only last for seven days at most. After seven days, there will be no grain."
"Where will there be grain ships docking at this time..."
Faced with the boss's reminder, Wang Fubo became more and more worried. Whether he could hold back the demon was a difficult problem. After holding back the demon, whether Wuchao County could hold on by itself was another difficulty.
When he was thinking alone, Wang Fubo wrote a suicide note first. If Wuchao County was attacked by demons, he, Wang Fubo, would not survive in this world.
"A real man would rather live in pieces than in pieces!"
After saying that, he put on his official robes neatly, put his clothes on in front of the bronze mirror, and went out in high spirits. The matter of the battle at the top of the city was left to Wei Xiangxiang. What he, the eldest man of Wuchao County, had to do was to let the city defenders have no worries. .
Wang Fubo stepped on the water and visited, explaining the situation door to door, asking the people in the city to save food and clothing for a few days, just in case.
At the same time, he summoned local and foreign big businessmen and promised that as long as the demon retreated, he would be rewarded according to his merits. In the name of "Five Tide Chuanlu", he ensured that everyone who contributed to the merits would be rewarded, and he would definitely invite merit arches and stone stones. The inscription describes the feats of defeating demons at this time.
Wang Fubo also said that according to the Daxia law, taxes can be reduced for three years if one has made great achievements. Wuchao County is an estuary of the river and has developed trade. Three years of tax reduction is simply a fatal attraction for large merchants.
In half a day, Wang Fubo calmed the local people and raised an emergency amount of money and food.
The money is used as a reward, and the food is used to stabilize the morale of the army.
After doing this, although Wang Fubo knew that it would not be settled once and for all, the confidence in the city increased greatly, and he was not afraid of the demon army outside the city.
There is a "Red Hero Scholar" in martial arts and a "Five Chao Chuanlu" in literature. There is nothing to be afraid of!
At the top of the city, Wei Hao continued to lead the patrol, from the North City to the East City. Wei Hao suddenly stood still, and the local heroes on the left and right immediately formed a formation with guns and knives to protect Wei Hao.
"Watch your surroundings!"
Wei Hao shouted loudly, and there was a fishy smell in his nose again. Although it was not as strong as that "General Liu", it was still a powerful monster!
Click! Click! Click! Click...
A strange sound rang out, and outside Dongcheng, a series of bubbles suddenly appeared in the flood, so densely packed that it was impossible to count them.
If you look closely, you will see a group of things approaching among these dense bubbles.
"what?"
When he got closer, Wei Hao could see clearly that there were thousands of crabs of different shapes. Among the largest and densest bubbles, there was a crab that was particularly huge. Its body alone was three feet wide, and it had two huge pincers. It's a tomahawk the size of two door panels.
"Children, make a hole in this wall——"
The big crab, whose claws were clicking, uttered human words, and then with a wave of its claws, tens of thousands of crabs rushed straight towards it with the tide.
