However, with Yan Ziqing's orders now, although he didn't know what Yan Ziqing wanted to do, he knew that Yan Ziqing had an idea, and his plan would not be more costly than the hundreds of people who rushed to die rashly.
Therefore, he just comforted everyone and said, "I know the hatred in your hearts, but we can't go down right now, we have to wait!"
"What are you waiting for?" A soldier asked immediately.
Guo Shizhang originally wanted to wait for Yan Ziqing's fireworks signal, but then he thought about it and changed his explanation.
He only said, "Of course we are waiting for the army to come for reinforcements!"
"Waiting for the army to come to rescue us? Why the army will come to rescue us? We didn't ask for help." The soldiers were very puzzled.
When Guo Shizhang heard this, he naturally just said casually, "His Highness has already thought about what will happen next. He knows that these bandits will not give up until they are eliminated, so His Highness wrote to Yunzhou Bian a few days ago. Army, let them send troops to help, they should be here soon. When the Yunzhou Army comes, we will cooperate inside and outside, won't these bandits abandon their armor and flee in defeat?"
Upon hearing Guo Shizhang's words, the soldiers felt like they had taken a reassurance.
The Yunzhou border army is not only a god of murder in the Qiang Desert, but also a god of war who can protect the peace of the people in the states on the border of Yunzhou.
And when they thought of being able to fight together with the Yunzhou border troops, everyone was immediately eager to try, and their morale suddenly soared.
And Guo Shizhang's words are actually not nonsense. Not long after Zhao Yanzhen solved the Yunzhou Rebellion, he did send a letter to the Yunzhou border army. He only invited them to cooperate with Leiyang City, which would probably wipe out all Leiyang. The bandits who arrived at the border area of Yunzhou.
It's just that he didn't expect these bandits to counterattack so quickly, and they dared to counterattack so quickly. Maybe it was the rumor spread by his good cousin that misled them, but now he didn't want to mislead them, but only let them miss.
After Guo Shizhang appeased the soldiers below, he immediately stood at the top of the city and said to the bandit leader below, "Don't hurt them!"
As soon as someone at the top of the city finally said something, the bandit leader immediately said to the top, "What? Are you finally willing to show your face?"
Facing the bandit leader's sarcasm, Guo Shizhang said solemnly, "Don't hurt the people below. We can discuss whatever you want."
Hearing that Guo Shizhang looked like he was about to compromise, the bandit thought that Guo Shizhang finally knew how powerful he was, so he just said, "It's great that you were like this earlier. You have to force me to do it! He killed me earlier!" When my brother-in-law was in the village, weren't you quite capable? You were quite majestic, why are you acting like a dead fish again this time?"
Facing the bandit's sarcasm, Guo Shizhang still did not reply, he only showed a solemn expression.
"What do you want? If you want to kill me, I have no complaints. If you want to take it out on me, I can cooperate. Just don't hurt my people."
Hearing Guo Shizhang's words, not to mention the soldiers all over the city, even the bandits at the foot were a little surprised. After all, none of the officials who had dealt with them were afraid of death.
Now this Guo Shizhang seems to have some courage.
In an instant, the bandit had a somewhat changed view of Guo Shizhang.
However, the revenge that needs to be avenged must be avenged, and the plan that needs to be implemented must be implemented.
"If I kill you, my brother will never come back! Why don't you open the city gate and let us in! Then I let them go."
After saying this, the bandit then pointed his finger at the villagers who were still waiting to be rescued.
Hearing the bandit's words, Guo Shizhang couldn't help but secretly look at the sky next to him. However, there were no fireworks lit up in the sky. It was obvious that everything was still not at the right time.
However, despite this, Guo Shizhang only motioned to the deputy general around him to quickly inform the hundred or so people. He only asked them to prepare quickly. At the same time, after the soldier went down, he immediately became anxious and uneasy about the city. The people comforted him and said, "Don't worry, everyone, the Yunzhou border army will be here soon. Don't worry, we will never open the city gates so rashly until the Yunzhou border army comes."
"
Hearing the soldier's comfort, everyone felt quietly at peace. And more importantly, they heard that the soldier actually said that the Yunzhou border troops were coming.
You must know that the border army is like a god of war. After receiving the news instantly, the people trapped in the city immediately ran to tell each other. At that moment, they spread the news to ten, and within a short time, everyone in Leiyang City knew about it. The Zhoubian army is coming.
But people who were originally in panic all day long just felt like they had been given a shot in the arm.
It's also a good thing that the bandits don't have female agents in this city, otherwise if such rumors were to reach the ears of the bandits, it would probably ruin the overall situation.
In Leiyang City, the situation was such that even before the fighting started, they felt that they would win.
At the top of Leiyang City, Guo Shizhang was stalling for time with the bandits. While stalling for time, he secretly thought about why these people didn't set off fireworks flares.
On the other side, the secret guards sent by Zhao Yanzhen only inquired about the situation here, and then they immediately returned to Zhao Yanzhen.
"My lord, Leiyang City is surrounded by those bandits!" Wu Chengwei only took the initiative to say.
After hearing Wu Chengwei's reply, Zhao Yanzhen just said quietly, "Keep talking."
After receiving the order, Wu Chengwei immediately said yes, and then he talked about the current situation in detail.
"When we passed by, we took a look and found that there were about one or two thousand bandits..."
I didn't expect Grandma Li to hear this, but she immediately screamed, "What? One or two thousand people? That's it, how can we enter the city?"
In response to Nanny Li's interruption, everyone only focused their attention on her. However, Nanny Li was completely unaware of this. She just muttered, "That won't work, we can't continue to Leiyang City." ! Isn’t this a way to die? How can you cope with one or two thousand people?”
Hearing Nanny Li's mutterings, even Shen Fanghui felt a little embarrassed. She just pulled Nanny Li and said, "Nanny, please listen to what I have to say first. Let's discuss it later."
At Shen Fanghui's reminder, Grandma Li noticed everyone's attention, and there was a hint of sarcasm on her face.
Then she only awkwardly said to Wu Chengwei, "You continue, I won't interrupt."
After hearing her words, Wu Chengwei just remembered his business, and then he only withdrew his gaze.
He turned around and continued to look at Zhao Yanzhen and said, "It wouldn't be too bad if there are only one or two thousand people. As long as the people from Leiyang City can stay inside for a few days, I think the Yunzhou border troops will come here soon."
When Zhao Yanzhen heard what he said, he almost immediately guessed what happened next. "But they held a group of people hostage outside the city, right?" Chinese website
Facing Zhao Yanzhen's question, Wu Chengwei was stunned for a moment, and then he nodded heavily. He could only say in disbelief, "Your Highness, how do you know this?"
Zhao Yanzhen just said softly, "I think so. Okay, you can continue talking."
After hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, Wu Chengwei continued, "Everything is just as His Highness guessed. The bandits have captured at least one or two hundred people. The bandits are using these hostages to force Guo Shizhang to open the door. He Let the hostages go to the city gate and shout, if Guo Shizhang doesn't open the gate of Leiyang City, he will kill those people."
Hearing this, the audience was a little quiet for a moment. It was obvious that this topic was extremely heavy. Even if they didn't go to see it, they could still think of how miserable the people there were.
"But I also observed Guo Shizhang's side. Ziqing and Luo Jingshan's soldiers have left the city in two groups. Maybe they want to rescue secretly? And Guo Shizhang is also negotiating with the bandits at the top of the city to delay time. "
After hearing Wu Chengwei's words, Zhao Yanzhen said nothing. He just looked at the sun that was half blocked in the sky, and then suddenly said, "Let's all get off the carriage quickly."
Everyone was obviously still a little confused about Zhao Yanzhen's instructions, and the woman even took the initiative and said, "What are we doing down here now?"
"If we want to leave, wouldn't it be faster to use a carriage?" Even Shen Fanghui couldn't help but say.
However, in the face of everyone's doubts, Zhao Yanzhen just said, "If you want to live, come down and follow me!"
After hearing what Zhao Yanzhen said, everyone immediately looked at you and me.
But Zhao Yanzhen had already gotten out of the car first. After he got off the car, he picked up Jiang Nianjiao and got off. When they left, five secret guards, including Cui Qiao, followed Zhao Yanzhen.
Although the children didn't know what happened, they just thought that they must be right to follow Zhao Yanzhen.
However, at the moment, Grandma Li was obviously unwilling to leave with Zhao Yanzhen.
He, Zhao Yanzhen, only had a carriage, and no matter how finely decorated it was, it was not too expensive. However, how could they count the gold, silver and jewelry in their carriage?
If they were robbed later, wouldn't they lose more than they gain?
Therefore, the old woman was unwilling to follow Zhao Yanzhen at the moment.
Shen Fanghui, on the other hand, is obviously still hesitant. After all, she truly felt that they were the only ones she could rely on in this situation.
However, she was obviously unwilling to let her leave the carriage.
The woman seemed to notice her hesitation, and immediately said to Shen Fanghui, "Let's go! Go back! Those with two legs can't run as well as those with four legs. If those bandits retreat, I don't think they will There’s just nowhere to escape. And there won’t be any problem if we go back.”
Shen Fanghui was obviously moved after hearing what Nanny Li said, but she was still hesitant.
Maybe it would be safer for them to retreat.
She had such a bit of luck.
However, seeing Shen Fanghui still hesitating here, Wu Chengwei, who had already walked away, couldn't help but said to Shen Fanghui, "Miss Hui, the target of the carriage is still too big after all, and the carriage is not as fast as the horse. If they retreat and flee, You have such a big target for them to catch up with. If they run away for a few more horses, they might also attack you. I suggest you'd better come with us!"
