Wu Gang and Zhu Zhi suddenly pounced on the two of them with daggers in hand. This was so completely unexpected that no one reacted immediately.
Qin Yu and Wu Xu happened to be facing the two of them, and they had almost no time to react.
Tie Mian reacted and stabbed Wu Gang's arm with his sword, but it was too late to stop Zhu Zhi.
"Centurion!" Lao Huang's face was full of horror and he flew directly towards Zhu Zhi.
"laugh!"
Blood spattered out, covering Qin Yu's face, and the sword blade was only a finger's width away from Qin Yu.
"Centurion!" Lao Huang threw Zhu Zhi to the ground the next moment, and then punched Zhu Zhi in the face.
Qin Yu threw away the dagger in his hand, blood dripping from his fingers onto the white snow.
Wu Xu looked shocked. If Qin Yu hadn't pushed him away and caught the sword with his bare hands, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"ah!"
A scream was heard, Wu Gang's hand was cut off by the iron mask, and he knelt on the ground in pain, covering his broken arm.
"I told you to sneak attack our centurion! I told you not to practice martial ethics. Don't think that because you are a centurion, I, Lao Huang, don't dare to hit you!"
As Lao Huang said this, he punched Zhu Zhi in the face one after another, knocking Zhu Zhi unconscious.
The people brought by Zhu Zhi stood there blankly, as if they did not expect that their centurion would suddenly make such a move.
After seeing Qin Yu's men aiming their bows and arrows at them, they all dropped their weapons on the ground.
"Old Huang, that's enough. If you hit him again, you'll die." Qin Yu greeted Old Huang, and then Old Huang stopped.
"Centurion, are you okay? It's Lao Huang who didn't do his job well, please centurion to punish him!" Lao Huang cupped his hands and knelt on the ground to apologize.
"My subordinates are not doing their job well, so please ask the centurion to punish him!" The rest of his subordinates also apologized to Qin Yu. This scene shocked Wu Xu.
"Okay, let's all get up." Qin Yu pulled Lao Huang up.
Qin Yu looked at Wu Xu, "I didn't expect that both Zhu Zhi and Wu Gang surrendered to the enemy. Centurion Wu, are you okay?"
Wu Xu recovered from the shock, glanced at Zhu Zhi and Wu Gang, and sighed heavily.
Wu Xu looked at Qin Yu again, cupped his hands and said, "Qin Centurion, please forgive me for offending you so much just now, but I just wanted to maintain the unity in the city, but it didn't work out... alas!"
While Qin Yu asked Tie Mian to bandage his wounds, he said: "Centurion Wu, now is not the time to worry about this matter. The two of them surrendering to the enemy will probably affect the city defense of the east and west gates."
Wu Xu's expression changed greatly. If the east and west gates were lost at the same time, it would really be a disaster.
Qin Yu touched the bandaged palm and gave orders to Lao Huang and Tiemian at the same time.
"Old Huang, Tiemian, you each bring fifty brothers, press them two, and stabilize the people at the east and west gates."
"Tell them that as long as they follow me, Qin Yu! I will ensure that they have steamed buns to eat every day, and I will take them home alive. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be killed on the spot!"
"promise!"
The situation was urgent, so the two men immediately led people to the east and west gates, taking away a batch of bows and arrows and several large baskets of steamed buns.
This was a good opportunity to gather military power in the city and enhance his prestige, so Qin Yu would not let it go.
Wu Xu also saw that Qin Yu planned to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit the troops from the east and west sects under his command.
Besides, Captain Lin Yue had already escaped, and the leaderless situation in the city was extremely detrimental to the defense of the city.
Only Qin Yu in the city had food and arrows in his hands, and even Iron Mask surrendered to Qin Yu. Qin Yu wanted to take the position of captain of thousands, and now it can be said that it was a matter of course.
Wu Xu looked at Qin Yu, knowing that if he argued with Qin Yu or even raised objections, he would be put in danger.
So Wu Xu made his choice and offered his hand to Qin Yu: "Centurion Qin, the city must not be without an owner for a day. In order to defend this city and for the sake of our brothers, we ask Centurion Qin to take up the post of captain of thousands!" "
Qin Yu was stunned when he looked at Wu Xu. Wu Xu actually pushed himself to sit in the position of captain. This was something Qin Yu didn't expect.
I thought Wu Xu would start a fight with me after I brought this up.
After all, Wu Xu had a long history in the military, and had once served as the second deputy of the Imperial Guard, which was also the deputy captain.
But no one knows why he was raped by the centurion, and Wu Xu himself didn't say anything.
Qin Yu really wanted to be a captain of thousands so that he could implement his plan, but he still had to be polite.
"Centurion Wu, I'm afraid I'm not qualified for the position of Commander of Thousands. Centurion Wu is far superior to me in terms of qualifications and prestige. It's better for Centurion Wu to take the position."
Wu Xu always held his hands and lowered his head. When he heard Qin Yu's words, the corner of his mouth twitched.
Good boy, test me, right? Your seniority and prestige are high, and your men are almost putting arrows in my eyes.
"Qin Centurion, in the army, qualifications and prestige are secondary. The most important thing is that those who are capable occupy their positions. Qin Centurion definitely has this ability,"
Wu Xu took a step back, and then bowed to Qin Yu, "Wuxu, see the captain!"
"I see you, Captain!" The other soldiers also saluted Qin Yu.
Qin Yu looked at everyone, and it was fake that he didn't feel any emotion in his heart.
"Since all brothers trust me, Qin Yu, then I, Qin Yu, will temporarily serve as the commander of thousands of men. I, Qin Yu, hereby promise to all brothers that I will definitely bring all brothers back to the Tang Kingdom!"
"I am willing to live and die together with the captain!" Wu Xu took the lead and half-knelt in front of Qin Yu.
"I would like to live and die together with the captain!"
The other soldiers also screamed and half-knelt on the ground.
"I am willing to live and die together with my brothers!" Qin Yu raised his hands to the soldiers.
At this point, Qin Yu's position as commander of thousands was considered stable. The next question was how to lead everyone to break through the Qi army's blockade and escape back to the Tang Dynasty.
As for defending the city, there was no food and no reinforcements. It didn't even have a strategic purpose. We just wanted them to defend with their lives.
No matter who you fucking love, Qin Yu doesn't want to defend this ruined city anyway.
Anyway, Lin Yue ran away, and his men running away with others could not be considered as escaping from the battlefield.
Qin Yu helped Wu Xu up, took Wu Xu's arm and said: "Centurion Wu, although I am now a commander of thousands, if there are those who do not do well, please remind me in time." .”
"If I am really unfit to lead my brothers, Centurion Wu will just say a word and I, Qin Yu, will never forget this position."
"Please rest assured, Commander, Wu Xu will assist the Commander well."
Wu Xu spat hard in his heart. If he really dared to do this, he would probably be shot into a hedgehog.
If Qin Yu knew what Wu Xu was thinking, he would definitely scream that he was wronged. He really spoke from the bottom of his heart.
After all, I am a pure college student, how can I fit so much in my stomach?
