Bring the whole war back to Nanming

Chapter 31 No Coffin, No Tears
Fang Xiaobai is not a person who can hide his thoughts: "Lei Ze, you guessed right. Let me show you the truth. At dawn on the fifth day, a support army will appear in the east. We only need to hold out for five days."

After taking a bite of the sandwich, Lei Ze chewed it carefully for a while, and his Adam's apple twitched slightly: "Reinforcements? Are there aborigines in this world?" Fang Xiaobai shook his head.

"I understand, it's the handiwork of Magister Ling. As I said before, if the enemy wants to break the city, they have to step on my body!" Lei Ze drank the milk from the cup, maybe he was not used to the milky taste in the milk. Lei Ze frowned slightly and said, "Human brewing technology is several times inferior to that of the Asul clan, and their fighting qualities are the same." As he spoke, he poured the remaining milk onto the bluestone in front of him.

"Hey, don't give it to me if you don't drink it, don't waste it." The cow that produced milk was what he begged from Ling Baliu during an encounter with Ling Baliu, and he was reluctant to drink it all the time. "Waste, haven't the elders of your elves taught you that waste is shameful?"

Lei Ze glanced lightly, shook his head, took back the halberd leaning on the bench, and said, "Fang, while the enemy is resting at night, I suggest you recruit civilians, distribute weapons, and assist in defending the city." Lei Ze held the halberd After leaving, Fang Xiaobai felt a sudden understanding.

"Boris! Go to the castle warehouse, take out all the weapons and armor, move them to Altdorf Square, and send people to gather all the refugees who have entered the city there. I have something to say!" Fang Xiaobai swallowed the food in his hand Stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it, and said vaguely.Boris, who was eating noodles, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, ordered a few imperial swordsmen who had finished dinner, mounted their horses, and split up.

The east gate was not far from the square, so he had no time to rest, so he drank the remaining milk, dropped the cup, and hurried to Altdorf Square.

The refugees outside the city were lucky enough to survive. They ate some rations that they carried with them, and each found some places that could barely shelter from the wind and rain. They sat or lay down in twos and threes, with numb expressions, and looked at the imperial swordsmen in the city in fear. Running down the street, not knowing what happened.

"Master, I see that you are leaving in such a hurry, is there something wrong with the city gate?" The daring refugee stepped forward to grab a swordsman and asked uneasily.The imperial swordsman who was held back was not annoyed, instead he stopped and replied kindly: "That's right, Mr. Fang asked us to go to the castle to get some things. There is nothing wrong with the city gate, and the enemy did not attack at night."

After hearing this, the refugees breathed a sigh of relief.The swordsman added: "But my lord said, let you all gather in the central square of the town, the sooner the better."

What?to the square?This is still an accident! "Master, what's the matter?" The swordsman waved his hands and said, "You'll know when you go." After speaking, he ignored the refugees and ran towards the castle.

"Oh, lady, take care of the children here, hide the food, I'll go and have a look."

"Don't move, old lady, take care of yourself, I will take this old bone for you."

"Be good, Bao'er, listen to Auntie, Dad will be back soon."

The men comforted their families, the women wept.After experiencing the hardships of fleeing southward, they knew why Fang Xiaobai asked them to go there.The refugees came out of the alleys and houses where they were hiding, and gathered in a long black line on the main streets, slowly walking towards Altdorf Square.

In the center of the wide Altdorf Square, the statue of Fang Xiaobai stands tall. Under the statue is a high platform for speeches during gatherings. At this time, countless weapons and armor are placed on it. Behind him, stand in two rows.

Not long after, refugees gathered around the square, crowded and full of voices.They looked up the stage, and the knowledgeable refugees guessed some ways, and their hearts sank.A man in a light blue robe and a scribe's scarf said to himself: "It looks like something big is going to happen tonight!" "Who said it wasn't? Isn't it obvious?" The words of the scribes.Their eyes met, and the two saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the audience, and a 23-year-old young man appeared on the stage, holding a strange-looking subway, looking at them with a smile.The young man raised Tietong to his lips: "Fathers and elders, please be quiet!"

As soon as the young man spoke, his voice resounded like a bell, resounding through the sky, and there was no sound in the originally crowded square.The scribe who was talking to himself before shook his folding fan and said with a smile: "This young man's voice is so powerful, it must be because of the iron bucket!" There is nothing special about it, and I never thought it would have such an effect."

Seeing that the surroundings were quiet, the young man coughed twice and shouted loudly: "You probably don't know who I am. Let me introduce myself. My name is Fang Xiaobai. I am the master of this city. What you call Fang Dashan!" Ah! ?Most of the refugees present looked surprised. The refugees who had just entered the city had almost never seen Fang Xiaobai's face, and some only glanced at him briefly without leaving any impression.

"This is the city lord? I heard a little bit earlier that he was no more than thirty years old, and he never wanted to look much younger than imagined."

"Yes, yes, my mother-in-law has met the city lord a few times, and she praised our city lord for being handsome!"

"Sure enough, the reputation is well-deserved. I don't know if there is a marriage. My daughter is just at the age of marriage."

"Don't even think about it, how can the lord of a city like your daughter?"

The atmosphere at the scene became lively again, Fang Xiaobai wondered, he was an ordinary young man, he belonged to the kind that could not be found in the crowd in his previous life, so what is there to talk about, how did the ancients gossip better than those gossip reporters in the later generations?

"Quiet! Listen to me! Well, let me make a long story short. I think you folks should have seen the weapons and armor on the stage. These things are all prepared for you! To tell you the truth, the current city wall is not strong enough to defend. The militia group is formed by recruiting civilians, aged over 15 and under 45 years old, responsible for public security in the city and assisting the regular army to defend the city wall. I hereby declare that everything is voluntary, and I will not force you! Well, sign up now, sign up voluntarily For those who settle down, 5 taels of silver will be cashed out on the spot, and if unfortunately killed or injured in battle, I am willing to take care of my relatives, wives and children!"

Silence, stagnant silence, no one came forward.The refugees knew that joining the militia was a narrow escape, and they would be the first to die when the officers and soldiers broke down the city. If they put on this skin, not only would they die, but their family members might also be affected.

Fang Xiaobai stood on the stage and waited quietly for 10 minutes. Thousands of refugees came to the stage to sign up.It seems that these guys didn't give up, and thought that the Ming army would let them go. I thought I was naive, but I didn't expect these guys to be more naive than me. Are they stupid and cute?It's time to use the trump card!
"It seems that fellow folks still have expectations for Minggou outside the city, huh? Don't rush to deny it. I know what you are thinking. When the city is broken, Minggou will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. You can pick up a rotten dog." Fate, at worst, life will be a bit more difficult and tiring in the future. At most, Minggou will cut off my head to claim credit, right? Let me tell you, stop dreaming, wake up? Minggou outside the city has said that the day the city breaks Dogs and chickens will not be left behind!"

boom!The last sentence was like a nuclear bomb exploding in the crowd, and everyone looked at Fang Xiaobai in disbelief. "Don't look at me. It's not that I want to massacre the city. Ask the people around you. Many people heard it at that time."

The imperial swordsman who had already mixed into the refugees wore tattered clothes and echoed loudly: "Master Fang is right, I heard it!" "I also heard Ming Gou say that the sword will not be sealed for three days!"

The refugees didn't know it was a trust, they believed it, and the crowd was so angry that they took off their clothes in a fit of temper, and stepped onto the high platform: "Grandma, the officers and soldiers won't give us a way to survive, so we will fight him. The emperor gets off his horse!" Several strong men picked up the big knives on the shelf and stood aside under the arrangement of the clerk.

"Count me into one!"

"I'm coming too!"

The refugees climbed onto the high platform one after another, passing by Fang Xiaobai, taking off all kinds of weapons, with ferocious faces. Fang Xiaobai had no doubt that if the Ming army outside the city broke through the city gate and came to them at this moment, they would not hesitate. Hesitantly rushed forward and tore the Ming army into pieces.
