I thought that in one day, Gu Junbo would be able to use his father's relationship to mobilize officers and soldiers to help. Who knows, when the three of them arrived outside the city, they saw Jiangji Mansion under martial law. All people entering and leaving must be strictly investigated, even if they are three People from the Lin family are no exception.
Fortunately, someone knew the guard, and after asking, he realized that things were about to change in Gyeongju.
Li Zhuyong, the leader of a large family in Jinyuan Prefecture in Qingzhou, raised an army brazenly, calling himself the "King of Jin" and leading his "Thirteen Taibao" to occupy the entire Qingzhou to conquer the world.
Now the governor of Gyeongju, Wang Daotong, is surrounded in the capital, Tinghufu, and is urgently asking for help.
Although Wang Daotong is not a good person, he still holds the official title of Xu State on the surface. In the battle against Dong, he also got a lot of credit, so he can barely be regarded as an official.
At this time, he was trapped, and urgent reports were sent to other prefectures and counties to request support.
However, Li Zhuyong had been planning to raise an army for many years, and it was not a sudden rise. He led a large army headed by aristocratic families in Jinyuan Prefecture.
In fact, quite a few bandits and thieves in Gyeongju were secretly supported by them.
Among them were the Tonghuzhai bandits.
Even though this group of bandits had not dared to confront the government before, this time they suddenly had many more soldiers and armor in their hands, as well as ready-made siege equipment.
Moreover, the former boss is now accompanied by a man with a short beard who looks like a scholar. Everyone calls him Mr. Li.
Mr. Li is good at manipulating people's hearts. Under his coaxing, a large number of miserable people and local ruffians were absorbed into the team.
Just yesterday, not long after Lin Xuexuan and his wife returned to Jiangji Mansion, Mr. Li came outside the city with heavily armed gangsters, looking like they were going to attack the city.
Gu Junbo's old father was old after all. When he heard about this, he was so frightened that he became paralyzed and found it difficult to get out of bed.
It's okay for her brothers to write some poems and songs, but when it comes to fighting, there's no hope of that.
The only good news is that the gangsters are currently only focusing on intimidation and have not actually attacked the city. They seem to be making internal adjustments.
Obviously, the other party was not sure that they could capture Jiang Ji Mansion in one fell swoop.
After a day of siege, the men temporarily retreated.
When the three of them heard this, they were all shocked and hurried back to the Lin Mansion with the coffin lid.
At this time, the hemiplegic Lao Fuwei had been taken home by Lin Xuexuan, and Gu Junbo was communicating with several brothers.
It's just that those brothers are really useless. For such a big event, they can't be counted on.
After a while, another servant came back from the government office and informed the magistrate of his attitude.
At this critical moment, the prefect of Jiangji Prefecture decisively stated that he could seek refuge with the "King of Jin" Li Zhuyong and open the city to surrender.
When Gu Junbo heard this, he was very angry and cursed the prefect for having no backbone.
As an official of the Xu Kingdom, he actually wanted to surrender without resistance.
When I saw the three people coming back carrying the coffin board, the couple had one head and two heads.
Especially knowing that the zombie would become more and more powerful, Lin Xuexuan's face turned pale.
The two came again to ask Ye Ming what they should do.
At this time, Ye Ming, who looked frightened, was hiding in the corner of the room and kept saying:
"The method has been told to you."
Lin Xuexuan saw that this expert's mental problem seemed to be getting more and more serious, and curiously asked how he could be cured.
The answer he got was, don't worry about it, he will get better when the time comes.
Lin Xuexuan had no choice but to give up on such a noble thing.
Moreover, he really doesn't have time to help with this now.
Just as he was talking, another servant came to report that an army of bandits was once again approaching the city. This time, the enemy had set up a formation and gathered more than 5,000 people. They were pulling siege equipment outside the city and were about to attack the city.
When Lin Xuexuan heard this, she was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground.
Seeing this, Gu Junbo, wearing a battle armor and a sword hanging on his waist, took the servants, long-term workers, etc. directly to the city head.
When they arrived at the top of the city, they saw the magistrate, the prime minister, and other officials in the government discussing the matter of surrender. They had even sent people down to contact the bandit army.
Looking at the army of gangsters outside the city, just by looking at their behavior, you can tell what will happen if these guys enter the city...
Seeing this, Gu Junbo immediately stepped forward to stop the prefect and others.
But the magistrate and others did not argue with her about being a female prostitute at all, and directly asked people to drive her off the city wall.
Seeing this, Gu Junbo was furious and ordered people to tie up the prefect and others.
The Fu soldiers had the most contact with Lao Fu Wei's family, and many of them grew up with Gu Junbo.
And the prefect and others usually don't treat these uneducated idiots well at all.
Besides, their own family members are also in the city.
They themselves were not very willing to surrender.
When the two are facing each other, who should be listened to?
As a result, a group of prefect soldiers rebelled on the spot and tied up the prefect and others.
After taking down the prefect and others, Gu Junbo ignored the rules of respect and directly took over the post of prefect and ordered the prefect soldiers to guard the city and never surrender.
After being reorganized by Mr. Li again, the bandit army below finally looked a little better. After giving the order, they began to attack the city.
Seeing this, Gu Junbo also pulled out the sword from his waist and directed everyone to fight back.
Although she has been wielding swords and guns since she was a child, she has never killed anyone or been on a battlefield.
At this time, her body was trembling under the armor. She didn't know whether it was fear or excitement, but she persisted.
It's just that she really has no fighting experience, so her defense is full of mistakes and she is often in a hurry.
The garrison under her command often appeared in chaos.
The only good thing is that the opponent is not very good either.
Although Mr. Li has a sharp eye, he can always easily see the flaws in his defense.
However, the army of gangsters he improvised was really stretched.
Preventing these people from escaping is the limit that Mr. Li can achieve in a short period of time.
Many times, if you follow Mr. Li's words, you can take the city head.
But the army of gangsters always fails to do it, and they just miss it at the critical moment.
In addition, Gu Junbo worked hard without caring about his own safety. When he encountered any gaps in the defense, he personally picked up his sword to kill the enemy and plug the gaps.
Although her martial arts skills are very good, it is her first time to kill someone, so she is inevitably nervous and does not show much strength.
Fortunately, the armor on her body was made with a lot of money and has strong defense and can withstand the impact of her own mistakes.
The battle between the two sides became more and more fierce, and Ye Ming did not know when he appeared on the highest roof in the inner city.
At this time, Ye Ming looked like a curious baby, watching the two sides fighting, laughing and clapping, which looked very strange.
It's just that no one apparently cares about his condition at this time.
Mr. Li, who was under the city, was greatly surprised when he saw that the general guarding the city was actually a woman. At the same time, he was even more disgusted.
As a member of the Li clan, he is very proud and has always boasted of his unparalleled intelligence and scheming. Even the famous Mr. Bai of Pingzhou doesn't look down on him.
I thought that even with a group of miscellaneous troops, I could easily capture Jiangji Mansion, but I didn't expect to be blocked by a woman, and I felt dissatisfied.
Then they saw that they began to promise benefits and punish those who were timid. Under such encouragement, the bandit army was aroused to their bestiality and continued to attack fiercely.
Seeing this, the defenders couldn't help but feel a little scared, and some began to fight timidly.
Gu Junbo did not consider the fact that his own people were timid in fighting, and did not supervise the team to suppress it. When he saw someone abandoning the defense line and running away, he was worried, but there was nothing he could do.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of gongs, drums and suona.
Someone looked over and saw Lin Xue wearing a costume, dressed as a woman, holding a baby under one year old in her arms, and accompanied by a group of actors who usually sang with her.
"Madam, the master is here!"
Someone reminds me.
Gu Junbo chopped down a climber. When he looked back, he saw his husband coming with his child, and he was greatly moved.
But Lin Xuexuan handed the child to the maid aside and said to Gu Junbo:
"Ma'am, just give it a go and fight, I'll take care of everything behind you!"
As he said this, he actually sang an opera on the spot behind the city. The song he sang was the famous opera "Tears of Women".
When the city defenders saw that Lin Xuexuan, whom they usually nicknamed "Eggless Master", actually dared to go to the battlefield to help, many people suddenly felt ashamed.
Oddly enough, when a person's courage is aroused, he will not be afraid of life or death.
And the ways to inspire courage are always strange.
Those who had been running away just now dared to be here when they saw "Mr. Eggless". At this time, they got the courage from nowhere and actually returned to the top of the city to hold the gap again.
As Lin Xuexuan led a group of opera singers behind him to sing, the people at the top of the city listened to the singing and drumming, and each one of them seemed to be possessed by the God of War, fighting to the death with the enemy.
Seeing this, Ye Ming, who was sitting on the roof watching the show, laughed and clapped his hands, seemingly very happy.
I don’t know whether I think the drama is good or the battle is good.
At the foot of the city, Mr. Li faintly heard the sound of people setting up a stage and singing operas while he was shouting to kill himself. He also saw that the people defending the city were united as one, and his face suddenly sank.
Seeing that his brothers had suffered heavy losses, the leader of Tonghuzhai was afraid that he would lose the qualification to dominate the mountain in the future, so he cautiously stepped forward to persuade:
"Mr. Li, in my opinion, let's forget it for today..."
When Mr. Li heard this, he suddenly looked at the boss and was frightened.
"They are not allowed to retreat. Tell them that the first one to climb the city will receive a reward of fifty taels, one hundred hectares of fields, and ten beauties!
Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy! "
"Yes Yes......"
The headmaster responded in a cold sweat and did not dare to say anything more.
This battle lasted from morning to sunset.
The red light from the sky shines on the city head stained red by blood, reflecting the broken corner of the war.
Gu Junbo killed the last bandit who dared to charge forward. He was so exhausted that he half-knelt at the top of the city with his sword in hand.
There are government soldiers around, and corpses are lying everywhere.
Even her own precious armor had many marks cut out.
Fortunately, the army of bandits attacking the city could no longer bear the fear of death. No matter whether Mr. Li was rewarded or punished, nothing could stop them from escaping.
Jiangji Mansion was successfully defended.
Lin Xuexuan, who had been singing at the back, her voice already hoarse, took the child from the maid's hands and trotted towards Gu Junbo.
Because the road was full of debris and corpses, and because his feet were bound, he fell down many times along the way.
Fortunately, the children were well protected every time.
Seeing his husband stumbling over like this, Gu Junbo glanced at the city and saw the enemy troops retreating. He could no longer hold on, rolled his eyelids, and fainted...
On top of the city, Ye Ming, who was in a crying state, couldn't stop crying, beating his chest and feet, looking extremely sad.
The soldiers who defended the city also suffered heavy losses, but the temperament of each of those who survived became a little different, and there seemed to be murderous intent gathering between their brows...
Gu Junbo felt that his whole body felt uncomfortable while sleeping, and there was pain everywhere. When he opened his eyes and woke up, he saw Lin Xuexuan guarding the bedside.
After asking, I found out that she slept for three full days this time, and Lin Xuexuan also stayed with her for three days.
Not long after Fang got up, as soon as he went out, he saw many soldiers who were fighting with him standing outside the door. They were actually here to guard the Lin Mansion.
Gu Junbo asked why, and Lin Xuexuan said that the prefect and others wanted to take someone into the Lin Mansion to get someone while she was unconscious.
This matter was known to the soldiers of the government, so they came here to guard it.
Gu Junbo was furious when he heard this. He immediately led people into the government office and arrested the prefect and others.
Later, he asked about the gangsters.
It was learned that the group of bandits were still in Tonghu Village and still gathering manpower, and they seemed not to give up.
While Gu Junbo was frowning, Ye Ming suddenly appeared again, laughing and saying "good news".
After a few days of delay, the zombie could already see and walk like flying.
...
