Chapter 35: Chapter 35
————————

Wanyan Zongzhen began to send people to scold the formation every day. Without information, he could only test it out first.

But only the closed gates responded to him.

In Huacheng, Li Jing gathered all the young and middle-aged people in Huacheng a few days ago, and there are more than 3 people.

No extra words, as long as you participate in the battle of defending the city, each person will get 50 taels of silver. If you cut off a barbarian's head, you will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver. If you kill ten barbarians, you will be rewarded with fifty acres of fertile land. , and 1000 taels of silver.

At the same time, the generals below should give them simple drills, focusing on the upper, middle and lower three ways of people.

Li Jing's heart is cold. These Huacheng people recruited are completely cannon fodder. Their role is only to interfere with the sight of the barbarian army, and the main force to kill the enemy is the Xuanwu army.

Wanyan Zongzhen finally couldn't hold back after scolding for three days. He ordered the barbarians to drive the captives of Dazhou to the gate of Huacheng.

There can be no further delay. It took too long for most of the troops to travel all the way from Nancheng to Huacheng, and they waited for more than ten days for detailed information outside the city. Soldiers need to be quick, but they are afraid that things will change if they are too late.

The captives left in Nancheng are all old people. Women and children are the most popular, and they have already eaten up.

The young and middle-aged men were usually killed on the spot, while the old men were left to feed the horses, chop firewood, and do hard labor for the army.

These old people were driven to the gate of Huacheng City. At first they hesitated, but later they didn't need the barbarians to drive them away, and they started to run by themselves.

They saw the chilling Xuanwu army standing on the city wall, and the fire of hope was rekindled in their already dead hearts.

The old people shouted loudly: "General Li, I am from the border city, open the city gate."

"I'm from Nancheng."

"General, please open the city gate... be well... General Li..."

Their shouts came one after another, and they ran towards the gate of Huacheng while shouting.

Their eyes are full of hope, as if they can escape the sky when they reach the gate of the city...

Li Jing stood on the city wall, looking indifferently at the refugees running below.

Lieutenant General Ouyang Xun asked with his eyes sideways.

"Send the order down and shoot them all."

Li Jing's cold voice sounded.

Without giving them any time, these people just ran within the range of the bow and arrow, and all arrows were fired.

The overwhelming arrows are dense and sharp.

The old people who rushed to the front fell to the ground instantly, and the old people who followed were stunned.

They were all stunned, and an old man rushed forward without giving up, and sharp arrows followed.

The old people flinched, and some began to turn around and try to escape. The barbarians behind them swung their swords at them.

"No retreat, offenders, beheaded."

They had hideous faces and roared loudly.

The old people stayed where they were, not understanding what was going on in this world, why the barbarians wanted to kill them, and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to kill them too. The old people sat on the ground with blank expressions.

Wanyan Zongzhen sneered, what a Li Jing, his heart is really cruel, as cold as a rock.

His hands were clasped, and it was a pity that among those shot were savages in disguise.

Li Jing lowered his eyes as he looked at the hesitant old man and the barbarians.

In order to defend Huacheng and Dazhou, his hands were covered with the blood of the people of Dazhou, but if he did not kill, Huacheng would follow in the footsteps of Nancheng, and how many Dazhou people would die by then?

His lonely eyes looked into the distance, where the military tents stretched as far as the eye could see. Someone had to pay for the lives of those who died in Dazhou.

………………

Ye Zhiqiu was a little annoyed, the robber she met in the mountains for the first time unexpectedly met again, what kind of evil fate is this!
The Flower City is on the verge of survival. If the city is destroyed, the barbarian army will kill here immediately. However, these robbers are still standing in this useless place to rob. They are so stupid that it is difficult to describe.

Locke looked at the robbers blocking his horse and felt very bad. They were wearing stars and moons, and they were about to reach the Flower City, but they encountered such idiots without eyes.

He rode on the horse and shouted loudly: "If you dare to rob the court officials, you will be impatient."

Song Jiangshan looked dazed, and you didn't wear official uniforms, and you all looked disheartened. I didn't know that you were an official.

As soon as he rolled his eyes, the team only had more than 90 people. Now his team has expanded to more than 300 people.

Since the official already knew that he was a robber here, it would be better to kill the robbers, so as not to let them go back and send troops to suppress the robbers.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand, and with a roar, all the robbers hiding in the forest rushed out.

Luo Jiahui was furious. These stupid people who don't know what to do will not give them a way to survive.

What is an elite soldier? Naturally, one can fight against ten, not to mention these mobs, the battle is over in just over a quarter of an hour.

Seeing the robbers lying on the ground, Ye Zhiqiu slammed his mouth. If you walk too much at night, you will always bump into ghosts. Now you will encounter something hard!

Leaving out this small episode, Ye Zhiqiu and the others rushed to Huacheng smoothly.

Li Jing was still very surprised when he first saw this team. He didn't know what role the emperor sent these people to play?
But when he heard Ye Zhiqiu's plan, his eyes that had been silent for a long time glowed again.

————————

There is a secret passage in Huacheng, which leads directly to the pine forest outside the city.

Why is there a secret passage in Huacheng?
This is thanks to Han Taihan, the county magistrate of Huacheng.

As early as a few years ago, when the barbarians had just started to harass the border villages of Dazhou, he had repeatedly written to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to send troops to suppress it, but every time it was nothing.

The brutal and bloody methods of the barbarians made him worry all day long, and the imperial court delayed sending troops, so he started digging tunnels, so that there would be a way out if the barbarians invaded.

Now this way of retreat is helpful, otherwise Ye Zhiqiu and the others would have to go out through the back door of Huacheng and climb over the mountains to the barbarian camp.

————————

The summer night was very lively, with all kinds of insects chirping one after another. Ye Zhiqiu's consciousness was closely connected with Xiao Bai's.

There are a lot of barbarians, but Xiaobai's spiritual sense finds them quickly.

Wanyan Zongzhen and the leaders are discussing the war.

The king of a tribe is having a dispute with him.

Under the leadership of Li Jing, Huacheng defended the city like a fortress, and there was no news from the inside of the city. Today, Li Jing's iron and blood methods shocked them. They felt that under such circumstances, the attack on the city would only result in heavy losses. If we leave the border town and south city, we might as well just let it go.

Wanyan Zong really had a cold face. There were many tribes in the grassland. If it wasn't for the population expansion, raising so many cattle, sheep and horses, eating up all the grass in the Dakeshi grassland, it would be difficult for these tribes to gather together.

When they attacked Da Zhou and took down the border city and Nancheng, they were all overjoyed. When they encountered a little setback in Huacheng, they started to retreat. They didn't even think about it. Huacheng is equivalent to winning the Great Zhou.

Everyone was noisy, their opinions could not be unified, and finally they broke up unhappy.

Seeing these people disperse, Wanyan Zongzhen's eyes were slightly cold. None of these people wanted to waste their own troops. Do they all want to rely on my king's troops to attack the city?

When Ye Zhiqiu saw this scene, he felt convinced. The barbarians were not very united and they were reluctant to part with their own soldiers. It seemed that they would not send troops to attack the city in the past few days until an agreement was reached.
