Jin Shuangxing was so angry when he mentioned those people from the Zhou Dynasty.
Not only did they kill their nephew, they also caused the army under his command to suffer the biggest loss since the war began!
For the first time in their lives, those good Erlangs of Houjin encountered such a difficult battle.
I don’t know if those Dazhou people took the wrong medicine, but their bravery last night even exceeded what Jin Shuangxing had seen in these years.
Those Dazhou people were like crazy, laughing up to the sky and rushing into the surroundings.
It was obviously a losing battle, but they were so excited!彡彡
I can’t figure it out…
Jin Shuangxing scratched his head in confusion. As grassland people, it is their nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Even if they cut grass and grain every time, it is just for survival.
Therefore, he couldn't figure out why the people of Zhou Dynasty still had such fighting power even though they knew they would die!
Fortunately, they have been completely wiped out.
At this moment, the body of the one-armed commander was hanging on the city gate.
Jin Shuangxing gritted his teeth, but secretly rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, not all of these Zhou people were so heroic. Otherwise, the tens of thousands of people he brought are not much different from a sheep entering a tiger's mouth.
He took a deep breath and regained his composure. Then he opened his eyes wide and stared at the nephew's subordinates and said:
"From the moment you abandoned your leader, you were already dead. However... for the sake of your revenge for him, you will be exempted from the death penalty."
Upon hearing that they had been exempted from the death penalty, the eyes of the more than ten Houjin soldiers suddenly burst out with a brilliant light. They immediately kowtowed desperately and thanked the general for his kindness.
After a while, Jin Shuangxing said again:
"You can avoid the crime of death, but you cannot escape the crime of living. Now is war time, so you should go to the front line to fight immediately."
"If you are still alive after this battle, I promise to let bygones be bygones!"
Several Hou Jin soldiers looked at each other, and they all understood that Jin Shuangxing was showing mercy to them by judging them like this.
So he immediately stopped hesitating and stood up and rushed towards the front line.
At this moment, Houjin and Wucheng seemed to be in a stalemate.
Since the road leading from the west gate to the city was not wide, there was no other strategy for both sides except for close combat.
And the people of Dazhou are obviously not fools.
After being baptized by several waves of arrow rain, they took the initiative to withdraw from the range covered by the arrow rain.
Therefore, it can be said that the current battle situation has entered a stalemate.
Unless a third party intervenes, only time will tell the success or failure of this war.
Unfortunately, although Jin Shuangxing brought a lot of food and grass this time, it was nothing compared to the reserves of the entire Wucheng.
Therefore, if Jin Shuangxing wanted to break the situation, he would have to take risks.
"Come here, immediately ask for help from the direction of Guyuguan, saying that we have encountered a stubborn obstruction from Wucheng and are unable to send our troops south to complete the mission assigned by the princess."
"In addition, form a team of troops and find a way to sneak attack the granary in Wucheng!"
…
In Wucheng,
At this moment, people's hearts are already in a state of confusion.
"Have you heard? Now the Houjin people have invaded the city and occupied the west gate!"
"How is this possible! If it was not in good condition yesterday, why is the west city gate broken today? Could it be that the Hou Jin people went south in a large scale?"
"...I'm afraid there is something fishy about this matter. The Wu family has been operating in Wucheng for so many years, and the defense of the city wall is the top priority. How could the majestic west city gate be easily breached by the Hou Jin thief?"
"You don't know this, right? I heard that there is a traitor in the city. He is the little official who always comes to you to buy wine..."
Just as a group of people were discussing, a voice suddenly interrupted their discussion.
"You think... should we abandon the city and flee? After hearing that the gold thieves are extremely cruel, if they catch them, the men will be killed and eaten, and the women will be humiliated to death..."
Time to run for your life?
Such thoughts quickly fermented among the people.
However, soon, these people discovered an extremely embarrassing problem. That's where Wucheng is, there's nowhere to escape!
To the north, that is the territory of the Hou Jin people.
To the west is the main force of Hou Jin's army.
To the south, that is the main entrance of Wucheng. Now that the city lord is stationed there, how can he let them out of the city? Even though the Lord of the City showed mercy outside the law, further south there were high mountains. I heard that there was a group of bandits on every hilltop, eagerly staring at the merchants coming and going.
As for going east... there is a small plain to the east. In front of the cavalry, this is no different from dying!
Fortunately, the people in Wucheng have long been accustomed to Wucheng being besieged.
For many years, this was the place where the Four Wars were fought. Therefore, these ordinary people naturally have their own coping methods.
Among them, the most useful one is still the most traditional method - digging tunnels.
It can be said that the entire Wucheng is crisscrossed with underground roads, most of which were dug by the people themselves. But there are also some parts built by the government.
In the past, these tunnels were where the black smuggling market gathered, so the government paid close attention to them and even sent troops to guard them.
But now, with the war crisis in Wucheng, naturally they can't take care of these tunnels.
And the people began to plan to escape from Wucheng through the tunnel. Some people with ulterior motives even began to have thoughts about Wucheng's granary.
You know, in the granary, there is not only food and grass, but also a weapons depot and a treasury.
In wartime, having a big knife in your hand is the capital of your life.
The granaries in Wucheng are actually hidden in these criss-crossing tunnels. For Wucheng people, this is no secret.
…
Underground in Wucheng, somewhere in a tunnel,
An elite team of fifty people was stationed here.
A team of ten people guarded the surrounding areas of the granary, and another team was responsible for patrolling and providing support.
At this moment, they are all extremely vigilant, looking around, and if there is any sign of trouble, they will react immediately.
However, among these elites, there was a young man whose expression was different from the others.
He was lazily following the patrol team with a grass root in his mouth. But his contemptuous behavior did not arouse the dissatisfaction of other soldiers.
It's not because of his special status, but because of his extraordinary skills, which is admirable.
The young man's name is Ye Qiu, and he is a knight-errant.
When he came to Wucheng, he originally planned to go south to join his good brother Zhu Qing.
But as soon as he arrived at Wucheng, he heard the news about Houjin's siege.
The city lord mobilized the city and recruited chivalrous men from among the people.
In order to realize his wish to become a generation of heroes, Ye Qiu resolutely joined the city guard.
Because of his good skills, he received the order to guard the granary.
Although he was dissatisfied, Ye Qiu still accepted the task.
After all, the feeling of being hungry is not pleasant.
