When I heard that a rebel army was attacking the city, I saw the people in the city were in panic.

Some people hit people while running.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The young man just said an apology, but before the man who fell on the ground could say a word, he ran far away.

Some lost their children while running, and heard the baby's cries coming from the street.

Some were so panicked that they abandoned their stalls, and goods rolled all over the street.

The originally peaceful scene was broken just because of hearing these words.

Several city gates outside the city have been closed at this moment, and they are fighting with the rebels with all their strength.

I saw that some of Chunxu's group of rebels hit the city gate with city breaker vehicles, some used catapults to throw stones onto the city tower, some used long ladders to build on top of the city tower, and some used bows. The crossbows were shooting towards the tower, and the brothers who were using swords were trying their best to dodge the flying arrows.

In the city, the prefect Liu Wu was sitting in the study room of his Liu Mansion, busy with official business. It was not too late at this time, and some people in the Liu Mansion were joking, playing leaf cards, and others were busy. It's about the affairs of the house.

At this time, I saw a man running hurriedly towards the Liu Mansion, and then hurriedly towards the study of the prefect Liu Wu.

"master!"

"master!"

"Oh no!"

Hearing this, the prefect Liu Wu put down the brush in his hand, raised his head, looked at Master Li in front of him with a fat face, and asked: "What's wrong?"

"The rebel army has already attacked our city." Master Li looked a little panicked.

Upon hearing this, the prefect Liu Wu panicked. He stood up from his chair in a panic and looked at Master Li with his wide-open pupils: "How could it be? Is this a fight coming to the city?"

"We are currently fighting at the city gate, but we have not yet reached the city." Daohou looked at the panicked face of the prefect Liu Wu and asked: "Sir, the rebels are a bit strong. I heard that there are so many people. There are more than 100,000. What should I do?"

After thinking for a while, he looked at Master Li and said, "In this case, you go to several city gates and tell them. No matter what, this city must be defended. Once this city is finished, the whole province of Guangnan will also be finished. By the way, let's The people in the city, those who are strong, must guard the city together and not let them in.”

"Okay." Master Li responded and hurried away.

At this time, the servants and ladies in the Liu Mansion knew that the people outside were panicking. The ladies, who were not sure what happened, headed towards Master Liu Wu's study.

You can see the nervousness on this guy's face.

"Master, what happened? What is this?" Liu Wu's first lady asked.

Look at the master

Before he could say anything, the other concubines asked worriedly: "Master, what happened? I saw the people outside were in a panic."

Looking at everyone's panic, thinking that this city might not be able to defend the rebels who were attacking from outside the city, Master Liu Wu sighed and said: "You go and pack your luggage quickly, we will escape if necessary." This city.”

Before the master could explain his words, the wife asked: "Sir, what happened outside?"

"The rebels are attacking the city. You go pack and return your luggage quickly. If they attack and come to the city, we won't be able to escape." Mr. Liu said anxiously.

Seeing the master's anxious look, the principal wife responded: "Okay, okay." Then she took the sisters to pack their luggage.

At this time, looking at the streets in the city, there were almost no traces of any common people. Occasionally, I saw a few common people looking for their children on the messy streets.

The doors and windows of every house have been closed.

Outside the city, a bloody battle was taking place at the moment.

"Today! This city must be defended no matter what!" the guard on the tower shouted loudly.

The soldiers guarding the city tower were all holding on to their spears and swords and fighting the outside rebels in a life-and-death fight, without giving in to any of them.

Soon, I saw that the soldiers guarding the south city gate seemed to be unable to hold back these external rebels.

Chunxu and the rebels had already climbed up the long ladder to the tower.

As for the city gate, it seems that it can hardly withstand the attack of this city-breaking car.

Seeing that he had gained the advantage, Chunxu clenched his sword and shouted: "Brothers! Try harder! Once we break through the city gate, we can rest! Let's have a big meal!"

With Chunxu's shout, all the brothers clenched their weapons and fought with all their strength against the guards on the tower.

At this time, Zheng Chui had been injured on his arm, but this injury did not make Zheng Chui flinch. Instead, he gritted his teeth and beat the guards hard.

Seeing that the rebels only attacked one gate of the south city gate, the soldiers guarding the other gates came to reinforce them.

This reinforcement made it more difficult for Chunxu and the rebels to attack the city.

The streets in the city were already quiet at the moment, and not a single person was seen.

When the officials from the government office heard that the rebels were attacking the city, they all went to visit Liu Mansion.

The prefect Liu Wu, who originally wanted to escape for a while, gave up the idea temporarily due to the visit of these officials and discussed it with them in his study.

"Prefect Liu, can we defend this city or not?" an official asked, his face a little red.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I don't know whether it was because of the cool weather or because of the anxious running that caused this.

All the officials looked towards the prefect Liu Wu, wanting to hear his thoughts.

The prefect Liu Wu shook his head: "This is difficult. Do you remember that a few months ago, the imperial court used the power of governors from various provinces to suppress this group of rebels, but the result was that the entire army was not wiped out. . Those who can fight in this city only have eight or nine thousand people in total. This group of rebels has more than 100,000 people. Do you think they can defeat them?"

Hearing what the prefect Liu Wu said, several officials sitting in the room were discouraged.

"If we can't defend this city, the entire Guangnan province will be doomed." An official said to himself.

"That's right, I don't know what the court's plan is. Now, even if the court has any plans, it's too late." Another official said to himself.

Listening to these two words to himself, a timid official expressed his personal thoughts: "How about we escape from the city first? If the rebel army attacks the city, Aren’t we waiting to die?”

After hearing his words, all the officials looked at him, but they didn't mean to scold him.

This official looked towards the prefect Liu Wu, and the eyes of several officials shifted from him to the prefect Liu Wu.

It happened that the prefect Liu Wu also had this idea. He sighed, pretended to think for a moment, and then said: "This is the only thing we can do now. We can't wait to die in this city. You guys should go back first and be prepared. If the rebel army attacks We're in the city, I'm afraid our lives will be at risk."

Hearing what the prefect Liu Wu said, the officials in the room were a little surprised.

However, this is not unreasonable.

Several officials nodded and stood up.

"Okay, I'll go back and pack my luggage first. I'll take my leave." After saying this, an official walked out.

Several officials said their farewells one after another and walked out.

Seeing that they were all gone, the prefect Liu Wu got up hurriedly and looked around the room to see if there was anything missing.

Outside the South City Gate, the guarding soldiers were killed one by one by the weapons of the rebels. The number of guarding soldiers was getting smaller and smaller. Looking at this huge enemy, they all knew that they could not bear it. They were still alive, but they were unwilling to admit defeat and continued to carry on.

Behind the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city gate with their bodies also felt a little tired. They were already extremely tired.

Look, everyone's head is covered with sweat, and their mouths and noses are constantly breathing out.

Suddenly, a huge force came, and the long door latch of the city gate was broken into two halves. The group of guarding soldiers who were blocking the city gate with their backs all threw themselves to the ground, falling to the ground and chewing the mud.

The city gate was knocked open like this.
