The "thumping" vibration was felt not only by Nie Mingcheng, but also by half of the people in Jinhua City, and the vibration was even getting stronger.
Some dust on the roof tiles was shaken and fell.
Everyone didn't pay attention at first, and then suddenly someone exclaimed "Earth Dragon Turns Over", "Run quickly" and other words.
It was as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake, causing splashes of water. Immediately, people on the street began to flee, and they didn't even have time to clean up the items on the stalls.
What a joke, how can things be important? !
However, after running for a while, everyone discovered that although the vibration continued, it seemed far less violent than the Earth Dragon turning over.
Those messy stalls were all trampled by people. The vibration under your feet was like a drum beat, but the intensity was not enough to knock down even a child...
Then, an experienced-looking man's eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly lay on the ground with his eyes closed tightly, as if listening to something.
"Hey, what are you doing...?"
His neighbor and friend felt weird and reached out to pull him up, but he was knocked off by the person lying on the ground.
"do not move!!"
Seeing his serious expression, the people on the side suddenly fell silent. His friend realized that this man seemed to have discovered something.
After a few breaths.
The man stood up with his hands and shouted to his friend:
"This is not "Earth Dragon Turning Over", this is the sound of horse hooves, at least thousands of war horses..."
"There are thousands of war horses alone, and probably tens of thousands of people accompanying them. This means a large army is approaching."
The people next to him breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
"It turns out to be the army!~"
"It should be the government army! I was so surprised that I thought the earth dragon had turned over...!"
The man lowered his head and thought, feeling that something was not quite right.
How long has it been since the government troops left the city? ?
But judging from the sound of horse hooves, it was obvious that this army came from outside. He secretly made a mistake and pulled his friend out of the crowd.
The friend wanted to speak, but he stopped him with his eyes.
And all this fell in the eyes of a gorgeous woman in red.
"Is there an army approaching the border?!"
"I'm going to check it out first. If it's true, I can ask my father and sisters to go to the commander's place to avoid being affected."
Then, the figure of the gorgeous woman disappeared like a ghost.
From beginning to end, no one found her figure.
………………
It was not that there was no Lao Baoshi in the government office. Nie Mingcheng soon learned from Lao Baoshi that thousands of war horses were galloping towards him, and he felt a chill in his heart.
"Didn't you hear that the imperial court sent an army here?!"
"Where did those people come from? Could it be that they came with bad intentions?"
Thinking of this, Nie Mingcheng immediately got up and went to find the prefect.
The prefect also knew that something bad was going on. If tens of thousands of troops really attacked the city, it would be a rebellion~!
It is better to believe that this kind of thing exists than to believe that it does not exist.
The prefect quickly asked Nie Mingcheng to take his order to mobilize the government troops to defend the city.
but,
Before the government troops could gather together, some government officials rushed to report.
"My lord, my lord, it's not good!!"
"There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses coming towards us outside the city, and the distance is less than three miles away!~"
The prefect was shocked and almost lost his footing.
"Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?! So many??"
"Yeah, the smoke and dust are billowing, and it's so dark."
The prefect was so anxious that he was sweating coldly, and his thoughts were at a loss.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
"Yes, we need to hide the money at home first..."
Nie Mingcheng couldn't stand it anymore. How long had it been? He was still thinking about money.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and shouted loudly.
"calm!"
"Listen to me."
Then, Nie Mingcheng arranged for someone to notify the prefect army to speed up their assembly, while he himself forced the prefect to go to the city gate to supervise.
The prefect was unwilling to go at all, but this time Nie Mingcheng ignored his thoughts and dragged him up.
"Prefect, as the prefect of the city, your appearance at this moment will greatly boost morale!"
Originally, Nie Mingcheng could not pull the prefect by himself, but someone pushed hard from behind, causing the prefect to curse.
After dozens of people were pushing and shoving up to the city gate, the prefect suddenly became quiet. He thought about it, the matter has come to this, no matter how good or bad it is, the last dignity cannot be lost.
"Da da da……!"
The thunderous sound of horse hooves rolled in, getting louder and louder, and the situation changed.
He could already see clearly what the army looked like. It was really not the imperial army in that way. The prefect felt desperate. He was still hoping for a chance.
As the horses galloped like a tide and the army approached rapidly, the heavy sound of horse hooves seemed to trample on everyone's hearts, trembling and trembling, and the atmosphere gradually became depressed.
"Xilulu~!"
Amidst the shouts of silence, all the soldiers and horses immediately stopped.
From extreme movement to extreme stillness, only two of them could not breathe. All the personnel were in neat and square formation, as if they were one body. There was not a trace of noise in the dense crowd, and thousands of horses were in silence.
Nie Mingcheng looked at the army below. Even though he had never seen the combat effectiveness of these soldiers, he knew that they were an elite force just from the change from Pentium Road to Silence.
But the more elite they were, the more Nie Mingcheng's heart sank.
From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the soldiers at the city gate. Their faces were pale, their hands and feet were trembling, and their throats were rumbling.
"The situation is not good~!"
The prefect looked at the army below. There were two big characters on the military flag - "Taiping".
He whispered: "Nie Tongpan, these are tough soldiers!"
"Look, they all ride war horses, wear iron armor, and are equipped with spears and knives. The cost of raising such an army is not a small amount~!"
This is all free money!
"Weapons plus armor weigh no less than fifty kilograms, but these people have been running here and nothing seems strange..."
Suddenly, the prefect kicked the Yamen servant who had just come to report.
"You idiot, can't you even count?"
"How can there be tens of thousands of people here? Five or six thousand at most!"
Nie Mingcheng glanced at the prefect in surprise. This person actually had such vision and insight. He thought that the prefect only knew how to steal money! !
Nie Mingcheng didn't see any of these just now. He could only judge that these were elites.
If there were only five or six thousand people, the prefect would suddenly become more confident.
A mere five or six thousand people, so what if they are warriors? As long as I hold on to the city and wait until the government army gathers, it will be more than enough to defend the city, and maybe I can even gain a lot of credit~!
When the time comes, I will be promoted to a higher rank... No, no, no, it is not necessary to be promoted. What is the benefit of being a Beijing official? ! The sky is high and the emperor is far away here, and I don't know how cool my life is.
Moreover, those who can support such an army must have a lot of money behind them. When the time comes, hehehe...
Thinking of these things, the prefect couldn't help but put a smile on his face.
Then, he shouted loudly and righteously.
"Who is here? What do you want?!"
Sun Qingzhi looked at the speaker, compared the appearance description in the intelligence, and immediately knew that he was the prefect of Jinhua Prefecture.
"An old friend of Guo Bei, greetings to the prefect!"
Uh-huh!
Everyone on the top of the city turned their attention to the prefect with different expressions.
Some people speculate that this is a private army raised by the prefect outside?
Nie Mingchen thought the same thing, but when he saw the prefect's face turn pale, he gave up the idea.
Hearing the word "Guo Bei", the magistrate's head suddenly flashed with white money. He shook his head quickly. Now was not the time to think about such things.
"Bold! Don't talk nonsense or have relationships."
"I am an upright and upright official. How can I have any friendship with you?!"
Sun Qingzhi narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "That's such a pity."
"It seems that you don't have the blessing to meet my lord~!"
The prefect's heart skipped a beat, as if he had lost something.
Nie Mingcheng asked loudly: "Who is your master? Don't you know that the imperial court strictly prohibits raising private armies?!"
"This is already a treasonous act, so why don't you get off your horse and bow your head quickly to avoid making the same mistake again?"
"This general has outstanding talents and heroic appearance. Why don't you serve the imperial court? Nie can speak kind words for you in front of the Holy One, and you will definitely be able to show your ambition!~"
Nie Mingcheng himself didn't have much hope for this. He just wanted to delay as much time as possible.
Even if Nie Mingcheng didn't ask, Sun Qingzhi would still give his name.
He vented his energy in his Dantian, and his loud voice spread throughout a kilometer radius.
"Listen carefully."
"My lord's name is Shanghong and Xiakang. He is a divine being who has descended to earth. He has vast supernatural powers and can save all living beings. He will surely dominate the world and rule the universe."
Nie Mingcheng's heart sank.
Sure enough, they were rebels.
As for the longevity god descending to earth, he didn't believe it at all.
He was a little anxious. Why were the soldiers moving so slowly? !
………………
Sun Qingzhi first traveled with the sparrows, and finally cherished the ambition of the swans. When he saw the appointment, he drove Jinhua for a long time. There was no strong formation in front of him, and he attacked the strong city and broke the south wind's words of no competition.
"Taiping Baojuan·Military Struggle"
