"worn out!"
"Children in front of you, please make way quickly and don't get stuck there!"
King Luo Bin struggled to carry a stone that was a bit larger than a human head to the city wall before he could put it down and take a breath. There was a sound of huffing and puffing breathing from behind, and someone was shouting hoarsely, urging him to get out of the way.
"Wait a moment, let me give in!"
When King Luo Bin heard the sound, he trembled with his sore legs and got out of the way.
Immediately afterwards, he saw two men carrying huge wooden pillars, running past him quickly, passing through the crowded flow of people in front, and ended up not knowing where they went.
"Hurry! There's a shortage of rocks here!"
"Is there any more oil? Two more barrels!"
"Damn it, why is there so little gold juice? Listen up! No one is allowed to poop these days! I'll put them all in the bucket!"
His eyes slowly moved away from the place where the two people disappeared. King Luo Bin's ears were filled with noisy shouts.
Standing on tiptoes, he looked over at his not-yet-fully-grown height: he could only see the dark crowds of people everywhere on the top of the city, and the countless stench and sweat mixed together, making people almost nauseous.
However, even so, neither the later refugees nor the original people on the city walls complained at all.
This is guarding your own home, what's there to complain about? Could it be that if you complain a few times, people won’t break down your walls and take away everything you have?
This is what the people of Ningcheng think about, and it is also what they do!
In the past two days, under the fat county magistrate's deliberate exaggeration, he almost described the rebel army outside as being like bandits!
Cruel and sinister! This is their portrait!
Kill them all, burn them all, rob them all, this is their way of doing things!
The fat county magistrate now almost said that they were Zhu Can who used human flesh as military food.
However, even if the fat county magistrate doesn't say this, many refugees actually think so in their hearts.
It can be said that these refugees have the most personal experience of how food is lacking outside! Like the tragedy of exchanging children and eating them, many of them. I’ve even seen it with my own eyes!
Now that I heard that such a large rebel army was assembled and was going to fight everywhere to seize the wealth, how should they be provided with food? Isn’t that... ugh!
Every time they think of this, many people's skin starts to turn blue, and their stomachs become sour.
So, for my own home, in order not to be cooked and eaten by others!
Everyone in Ningcheng held their breath and worked hard to reinforce the city and prepare various defense materials to fight the devil outside.
However, what the confident Ningcheng people did not expect was that Liu Hongji, who had the most say in the marching battle in the city, was not optimistic about this battle at all.
In Liu Hongji's view, this is simply a duel with great disparity in strength.
The enemy is an army of 100,000 elite soldiers! The weapons and equipment are all top-notch products from the family!
Ningcheng, on the other hand, had spent all its resources, but could only piece together a small army of less than 20,000 people. As for weapons and equipment...it is estimated that even a kitchen knife cannot be used by one person!
Therefore, even though they had a good location to defend the city, Liu Hongji still didn't think much of this place at all.
"No, we have to prepare a way out!"
After much thought, Liu Hongji decided that he still couldn't let Xiao Han act nonsense!
So he did what he said. He immediately got up and ran to the stables, where he planned to pick a few good horses and hide them. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he knocked Xiao Han unconscious and took him away by force.
After twisting and turning in the old city, we finally came to the stables used to keep horses.
However, when Liu Hongji revealed his identity and entered the stables, he suddenly discovered that there was a familiar figure in the stables, who was also concentrating on selecting horses.
"Jiayi? Why are you here?"
After taking a few steps forward, he determined that the person who was poking the horse's mouth and leaning closer to observe carefully was Jiayi. Liu Hongji, who was wide-eyed, couldn't help but ask aloud.
"ah?"
Perhaps because he was startled by Liu Hongji's sudden voice, Jia Yi almost threw his head into the horse's mouth!
Fortunately, he reacted very quickly and quickly let go of the frightened horse, waving his hands as if nothing had happened:
"Ah? It's General Liu! This subordinate is... he is preparing to ride out... to check the situation! Yes! Just to check the situation!"
"Oh? Check the situation? Check what situation?" Liu Hongji was full of doubts. He stared at him and was about to ask again, but he heard Jia Yi, whose face was red, suddenly thought of something and asked: "Huh? I didn't know General Liu was here. What did you do?"
"Me?" When Liu Hongji heard this, he was immediately speechless! After hesitating for a while, he slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "I'm here to pick up a horse so I can go out and check the situation!"
"Oh~" As soon as A heard this shameless answer, the corner of his mouth twitched several times!
Brother, you made up the reasons, can you make up your own? You just fooled me with the reason I worked so hard to come up with. Do you think you are stupid? Or are you stupid?
Jiayi felt that his intelligence had been insulted! However, he quickly endured it and cupped his hands and said: "In that case, my subordinates have finished selecting, so I will leave first without delaying General Liu's important affairs."
After saying that, Jia Yi pulled out the war horse in front of him that was almost startled just now, and quickly took two horses from another stable, one person and three horses, and ran out of the stable as if they were running away.
"Damn, the secret was almost exposed! Ignore him, it's more important to choose a horse!" Behind Jia Yi, when his figure ran away, Liu Hongji breathed a sigh of relief, muttered, and began to find the horse of his choice. Come.
This makeshift stable is huge, huge!
The horses placed inside were not Ning Cheng's horses.
In fact, in Ningcheng, apart from a few horses at the post station, there are only a few horses raised by wealthy families in the city. Of course, few of their horses are really good.
After all, these days, the price of a good horse is simply more expensive than gold! It is simply not something that ordinary wealthy landowners can afford.
Therefore, the horses raised in the stables at this time are all the war horses brought by the Firearms Battalion after they came to Ningcheng. All of them are stored here at this time, and there are hundreds of them!
"By the way, firearms camp?"
Suddenly thinking of the firearms camp, Liu Hongji was stunned for a moment, but soon, he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Although today's firearms camp has been expanded several times, the number of combatants is still less than a thousand.
A few hundred, versus a hundred thousand!
If the other party is a real army of refugees, there might be some hope!
But to meet the real regular army, they are even more perverted than the regular army, a crazy army that has been brainwashed to the point where they are not afraid of death!
Liu Hongji felt that unless there was a miracle, he still couldn't see the slightest hope for this.
