"General! We are absolutely safe now!"
"My subordinates applied to lead people to attack the county government again. This time we will surely take down the county government!"
Southern General Liu Chong said to Zhang Guanxi.
during this time.
As the number of their rebels increased, the number of their four generals also increased a lot.
They are now.
It's the time when everyone is proud of the spring breeze and can't wait.
Hearing that Liu Chong wanted to grab the vanguard position again, he was immediately unhappy.
Last time, when they had such a small number of people and little experience, the county government almost took them down.
And this time.
The county government did not receive any additional troops.
in other words.
At this time, the county government's defensive strength was weaker than last time.
If we attack the county this time, we will definitely win.
"I said Liu, what are you dreaming about?"
"All good things come from your Confederate army?"
"That's right, a defeated general still wants to achieve heavenly feats, and he's not afraid of being laughed at!"
The other three generals began to mock.
"Ahem!"
"This attack on the county government must be successful!"
"But what happened this time is very strange."
"If you were Chen Dadao, wouldn't you send more troops to the county government?"
Zhang Guanxi saw that several generals were arguing about the vanguard again, and he tapped the table heavily with his hand.
He asked several people.
Several generals were stunned when they heard this.
In the current situation, if Chen Dadao does not send more troops to the county government, there will be almost no hope for the county government to hold on.
But why not increase the number of troops?
They didn't consider the reasons carefully before.
At this time, everyone frowned when they heard Zhang Guanxi suddenly mentioned it.
"Either it is Chen Dadao who has secretly sent many soldiers into the city, but we don't know it. They want to paralyze us on purpose."
"Either Chen Dadao has decided to abandon Sanhe County."
"Which of these two scenarios do you think is the most likely?"
Zhang Guanxi asked coldly.
"this……"
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
If you want to give up any city at will, it will be given to the rebel army in vain.
Even if Chen Dadao dared to do it, the government would not agree.
Could it be that there is no conspiracy in this?
"I won't say any more."
"Since they used a trick to lure the snake out of its hole last time, we might as well try a trick with them this time."
"As long as they come out, no matter what conspiracy they have, they are no match for us!"
Zhang Guanxi said to everyone.
Then he pointed to a location on the map.
The eyes of several generals lit up.
…
at this time.
On the city wall of Sanhe County.
Ma Yuanming was leading people to inspect the city defense with a sad look on his face.
During this period, there was no reply to the messages I sent asking for help.
And there are only more than 300 people in the county who can fight.
The defense was already stretched thin, and it was simply impossible to defend two city gates at the same time.
Ma Yuanming simply had the north gate closed, leaving only one city gate open.
This also facilitates the screening of people entering and exiting.
before passing by.
The county magistrate’s arrogant and unreasonable screening.
In the entire county government, many spies of the rebel army were screened out.
Several conflicts broke out over this.
Fortunately, Ma Yuanming arranged for his subordinates to assist and stabilized the situation.
Inside the current county government.
Basically there are no hidden dangers anymore.
But Ma Yuanming heard that the bandits in Erlong Mountain have been recruiting troops recently, and their numbers are constantly increasing.
Make Ma Yuanming worried.
One goes down and the other goes up.
If the bandit army attacks now, the county government will definitely be in trouble.
But it's strange to say that the current bandit army obviously has a strong strength, but it just refuses to fight.
Ma Yuanming's heart was always hanging in the air.
I haven't dared to sleep for three days and three nights.
He was afraid that while he was sleeping, the bandit army would come from nowhere and kill him.
Ma Yuanming knew.
His current state is not a good thing.
But there is nothing to do.
There has been no news from the county guard, so it is really difficult to handle.
And he has military orders.
If the bandit army wants to attack the county government.
He must fight to the death and live or die with the county government!
But Ma Yan'er is still here.
But how to deal with this?
Let her leave. This girl is still very stubborn and won't listen to her own words. Over the years, this girl has become so wild that she can't control her at all.
There are many disturbances in family and state affairs.
Ma Yuanming was exhausted mentally and physically.
"Brother Ma, why are you in such a bad state?"
"We still have ingredients in Baoyue Tower, but we can't open the store anyway, so we just brought them to the brothers to eat!"
At this moment.
Zhang Bao came up with Li Daniu.
Li Daniu's burden also contained a lot of food.
"Brother Zhang!"
"well……"
"Brother, what can I say? Thank you so much, Brother Zhang!"
"Come here, help me!"
Ma Yuanming greeted the soldiers guarding the city and helped Li Daniu distribute the things.
"Brother, I don't know. I've been having a severe headache recently."
"Seeing that these bandits are getting stronger day by day, our county government has yet to receive reinforcements."
"Once the bandits attack the city, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Ma Yuanming said anxiously to Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao couldn't help but frowned when he looked at Ma Yuanming's bloodshot eyes.
"how so?"
"Didn't it take a long time to send the letter?"
"The Sheriff shouldn't ignore it!"
Zhang Bao was also a little surprised.
"According to my analysis, something must have happened to General Chen, otherwise he would not sit idly by and watch."
"Brother, I have a feeling that things are going to change in our Heyang County!"
Ma Yuanming said with a long sigh.
"change of weather?"
"Can't you?"
Zhang Bao was stunned.
"Anyway, brother Zhang, although you and I have not known each other for a long time, it is rare for us to have such a good temper."
"Brother, I have a merciless request, and I hope Brother Zhang can agree."
Ma Yuanming suddenly said to Zhang Bao seriously.
"Um?"
"Brother Ma, tell me, I will never refuse anything I can do."
Zhang Bao said to Ma Yuanming.
"Brother, I have a military order to protect Sanhe County. Now the military order has not been changed. Even if I fight to the last man, I will die on this city wall."
"It's just that, brother, I only have a daughter. I'm already deeply indebted for what happened back then, and I really can't let her get involved with me anymore."
"I hope you, shopkeeper Zhang, can leave this place with your daughter. Nothing else matters. Live well!"
Although Ma Yuanming was very helpless towards his daughter, he was his father after all.
The light in his daughter's eyes when she looked at Zhang Bao could not be hidden at any cost.
Although Ma Yuanming noticed it before, he didn't take it too seriously.
But at this time.
Ma Yuanming already has the will to die, so these are not important.
Zhang Bao listened to Ma Yuanming's change of title.
My heart skipped a beat.
Then there was a hint of warmth on his face.
After all, I still didn’t hide it...
"this--"
"Report!"
"Marquis!"
"A group of people were found ahead, rushing towards the county capital!"
Zhang Bao didn't have time to say anything.
A soldier hurried over to report.
