According to the pre-defense plan, Qimeng only needed the support of the cavalry generals to assemble the defenders and defend the frontal battlefield with all their strength, buying time for the reinforcements to arrive.
Now, with the Beidi army besieging the county town from all sides, Qimeng could only disperse his limited manpower to the entire city wall, causing fires on all sides.
At this time, the city wall was no different from the enemy. Beidi soldiers had already rushed into the city and massacred them.
If Beidi soldiers hadn't been too ruthless and left no one alive, forcing the government officials and civilians in the city to have no choice but to fight with their lives, I'm afraid the county town would have been captured long ago.
At this moment, a group of Beidi soldiers had a clear goal and headed straight for the county government office.
Qin Cheng, Lin Quqi, and a group of scribes and county magistrates hid in the county government's back house under the protection of seven or eight government officials who were no different from civilians.
Li Xiaolan sat alone in the lobby, looking at the Beidi soldiers rushing out of the gate, her eyes unmoved, her lips moving slightly: "You military masters, can you spare the lives of the slave family?"
Seeing Li Xiaolan, who was like a fairy descending to earth, the dozen or so Beidi soldiers suddenly became thirsty.
I have been fighting with the army for a long time, and I have long forgotten the last time I saw a woman. It is not easy to see a woman, and she is as beautiful as a fairy!
The leader of the Beidi Captain, holding a knife, strode toward the lobby with extremely excited eyes: "Little Beixi County, facing the iron hooves of our Beidi army, is stubbornly resisting. It is difficult to quell the army's anger without slaughtering the city. Spare your life? I'm afraid I will do it." No! But with your beauty, you will definitely die after everyone else."
Feeling the animality in the eyes of the Beidi soldiers, Li Xiaolan was not afraid at all. She lowered her head to look at the dagger in her hand and said lightly, "Since the military master is unwilling to spare the lives of the slave family, the slave family can only kill you all."
The Beidi soldiers seemed to have heard a joke and couldn't help laughing wildly.
Captain Beidi couldn't help laughing: "Little lady, how do you plan to kill us?"
The corners of Li Xiaolan's mouth raised slightly: "Just keep an eye on it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the dagger flew out of his hand. Because no one expected that Li Xiaolan would really dare to take action, and in his panic, he was unprepared, and the dagger was accurately inserted into Captain Beidi's heart.
Captain Beidi finally stopped and looked down at the blood spilling from his chest. His expression gradually became dull: "Little lady, you really have some tricks..."
Plop.
Captain Beidi fell face to face.
The remaining Beidi soldiers were stunned for a moment, and the lewd smiles on their faces were replaced by ferocious anger, and they rushed towards Li Xiaolan almost at the same time.
Li Xiaolan pulled out the rope from under the table and threw it upward. The rope was wrapped around the beam above her head. With a strong tug on the rope, she took advantage of the situation and rushed up to the beam. She picked up the short bow hidden on the beam and fired continuously. Three arrows, killing three people in a row.
The Beidi soldiers were shocked and quickly raised their small leather shields. Since these soldiers were the vanguard of the siege, they only carried swords and shields and no bows and arrows. Facing Li Xiaolan who was squatting on the beam, using his strengths and avoiding weaknesses, he used his shields to resist. , there is no way at all.
Li Xiaolan's accurate archery skills, coupled with the small leather shields of Beidi soldiers, were used for close combat. Their defensive capabilities were not comparable to those of large shields, and they could only barely cover the vital points of their upper bodies.
You can imagine what would happen if your lower body was exposed in front of Li Xiaolan, either an arrow in the leg or an arrow in the lower abdomen.
In the blink of an eye, several more Beidi soldiers fell to the ground.
The remaining Beidi soldiers gathered together, and although they shouted that they wanted to cut Li Xiaolan into pieces, they withdrew outside the Yamen in a tacit understanding at the same time.
Since there is nothing we can do against Li Xiaolan, we will simply burn down the Yamen!
The moment the Beidi soldiers exited the Yamen, a scream sounded after them.
The remaining seven or eight Beidi soldiers looked at the sound almost at the same time, and their faces instantly turned pale. A Beidi team consisting of ten people was actually shot to death with arrows, and fell to the ground with their arms stretched out.
The arrow was shot from the house. When he looked up, he saw a man in black standing on the eaves, it was Jin Laosi.
A Beidi soldier, his face as pale as paper, gritted his teeth: "What the hell is going on in this damn county? There are so many masters hidden!"
"These guys are more accurate in their archery than the other!"
A young soldier, feeling unprecedented pressure, almost shouted at Jin Laosi crazily: "If you have the ability to come down, you only know how to sneak attack, what kind of ability is that!"
Jin Laosi showed no reaction, raised his hand and shot the young soldier with an arrow.
Just as the remaining Beidi soldiers were preparing to retreat, Li Xiaolan, who was hiding in the county government office, also came after him.
Facing the pincer attack by Jin Laosi and Li Xiaolan, the remaining Beidi soldiers fell one after another. The last Beidi soldier looked horrified, and just as he was about to run away, two arrows were shot from the roof and the yamen at the same time, one hitting the center of the back and the other hitting the back of the neck.
Li Xiaolan stood at the gate of the county government office, looking at the arrows on the Beidi soldiers, with a deep look in her eyes.
And Jin Laosi, who was standing on the eaves with a layer of tiles apart, snorted softly and ignored the killed Beidi soldiers, but looked towards the continuous screams around him. More and more Beidi soldiers Soldiers rushed into the city and killings were taking place everywhere.
It is only a matter of time before the city is destroyed.
At the same time, on the official road fifty miles away from Beixi County, Xu Mo led a battalion of new troops and was galloping on horseback.
Xu Mo held the reins with one hand and swung the riding crop with the other, slapping the horse on the butt repeatedly and yelling at passers-by who didn't know the truth in front of him: "Get the hell out of my way!"
The scouts who first explored the road rode their horses and merged into the team, shouting to Xu Mo: "General, the Beidi army has rushed into the city! There are still two battalions outside the city to support them, which are light infantry and light cavalry!"
Xu Mo's eyes were burning. When he passed the state capital earlier, the prefect had dissuaded Xu Mo from going to Beixi County. There was no point in guarding the dangerous city. If he hadn't taken the overall situation into consideration, Xu Mo would have hacked the prefect to death.
Meaningless?
Qin Cheng, Li Xiaolan and others are all in the city. Is it possible that they are allowed to be slaughtered and humiliated by Beidi soldiers?
In addition, in order to speed up the rescue, Xu Mo took the official route. He met the messengers from the direction of Beixi County on the way, and he also knew the contents of the military report. According to the time, the cavalry general should have led his troops to advance to the west of Beixi County.
As a result, the scout reported that the cavalry general did not move at all!
The entire Daliang County has been trapped in Beixi County due to injustice!
Xu Mo was filled with grief and anger, and was about to roar to vent his dissatisfaction when he heard an exclamation coming from beside him: "General, be careful!"
Before Xu Mo could react, the deputy lieutenant on the right was hit by an arrow shot from the grass on the roadside, and fell off his horse and died on the spot.
If the lieutenant hadn't blocked an arrow for Xu Mo, Xu Mo would have died.
