Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Brother Hu frowned, "No, if I leave like this, I will lose face. Hu San, go down and greet the county magistrate, coax them over, and then take the opportunity to kill him."

"Me?" Hu San pointed at himself, his eyes drooping with fear. "The county magistrate already knows there is an ambush at the city gate, so how can he believe me? I don't dare to stay here anymore, let's go together."

Brother Hu thought about it and shook his head, "No, it would be embarrassing to leave like this. Since you don't want to go, let's wait until night and attack them by surprise."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade the stubborn Brother Hu, Hu San could only let him do what he wanted.

He has sent someone to deliver a letter to his eldest brother, hoping that his eldest brother can send someone over quickly to ask them to go back.

If it weren't for this incident with Brother Hu, he would have respectfully welcomed the county magistrate and at least been able to keep this minor official position at the city gate.

But now, as long as the county magistrate enters the city, he will not let Brother Hu go, nor will he let him go.

He could no longer work as a minor official at the city gate.

If he stayed, he would be the first one to be dealt with.

Gu Xiling asked someone to send a bowl of soup and a note to Zhou Jin.

After Zhou Jin read it, he nodded slightly and said, "Tell the Crown Prince's wife, I know."

"Yes, Prince." Xiufang agreed and left quickly.

Wang Shiwen looked at Xiufang's back.

"Ahem!" Zhou Jin coughed twice, "Brother Wang, Xiufang is already engaged. It's very rude of you to look at a woman like this."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhen immediately challenged Wang Shiwen, "Wang Shiwen, can't you be pure-hearted and free from desires?"

Wang Shiwen was a little annoyed when he heard this. "I just can't have children, but I'm not inhumane. Besides, Brother Zhou, you misunderstood. I just wanted that maid to tell my wife that she was not the maid who coveted the Marquis' Mansion."

Zhou Jin nodded after hearing this, "It's not the best. This is a good opportunity for us to make achievements. Qingshui County is very large, comparable to other places. Its importance to Kangguo is self-evident. Please join me in unity and complete the instructions of His Majesty."

Xie Jin and Yuan Zhen were very motivated, "We will definitely work together to achieve great things."

Wang Shiwen was stunned for a moment, unable to keep up with the rhythm, and smiled awkwardly, "It is an honor for me to be able to work with you to achieve great things."

It was getting dark, Zhou Jin called Xie Jin, "Brother-in-law Xie, once it gets dark, I think someone inside will be impatient and want to attack us. What do you think we should do?"

Xie Jin was stunned. "I just sent scouts to check. There are only about 200 people guarding the city gates. How dare they attack us?"

Zhou Jin smiled, "They know they may not be able to defeat us, they just want to disgust us and save some face."

Xie Jin thought about it carefully, "How about we take the initiative and attack them first?"

"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhou Jin asked.

Xie Jin thought for a moment, "We have chariots and shields. We can move forward one by one, get close, shoot arrows, and fire volleys from catapults. We should be able to capture the city gate soon."

Zhou Jin was slightly stunned when he heard Xie Jin's words, "That's it, nothing more?"

Xie Jin was stunned, "We can definitely capture the city gate this way!"

Zhou Jin looked puzzled, and then expressed his thoughts, "Brother-in-law Xie, I have an idea, what do you think?"

Xie Jin nodded. Although he didn't think Zhou Jin, a scholar, could come up with any good solution, the old Marquis of Changning was like a military god in Kang State, so he was willing to listen to Zhou Jin's suggestions patiently. "I'd like to hear more about it!"

Zhou Jin whispered, "Send soldiers driving chariots and holding shields to feint in the front to attract the attention of those on the tower. Then you send people with high Qinggong skills to attack from both sides."

"After the sneak attack is carried out, our soldiers will run straight to the city gate under the cover of chariots and shields and ram the city gate. But be careful, if hot water is poured down from above, quickly dodge it. Don't attack head-on!"

Xie Jin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and quickly bowed to Zhou Jin, "Your Highness is indeed from a military family, and you have extraordinary strategies."

Zhou Jin was slightly startled, "My idea is very simple. I would rather make it more complicated, and I hope that our soldiers will have fewer casualties."

Xie Jin nodded, "Yes!"

Zhou Jin thought for a moment, and then said, "After we hit the city gate, if it opens easily, don't doubt it, just rush in."

Xie Jin quickly asked again: "Why is this? Are there any of our people inside?"

Zhou Jin replied: "Yes! I have bribed a soldier guarding the city gate."

"Is it reliable?" Xie Jin asked.

Zhou Jin replied: "This soldier's sister was raped by a bandit named Brother Hu, and she hanged herself to death out of humiliation. He always wanted to avenge his sister, but he had no way to do so."

"After Jin Linwei learned about it, he quietly approached him and bribed him! As long as it was for revenge, he was willing to do anything! What's more, Jin Linwei promised that once the county magistrate entered the city gate, he would make him the gatekeeper."

Xie Jin was greatly shocked when he heard this. As expected, His Majesty had given Zhou Jin many cards.

Just as it was getting dark, the soldiers holding shields and carrying chariots gradually moved towards the city gate.

At this moment, Hu Sanda was shocked, "Brother Hu, let's go quickly! Our plan to launch a sneak attack at night has failed! These people are already preparing to attack the city."

"We only have more than 200 people in total. We can't beat the thousands of people outside! Instead of getting killed here, we might as well take our brothers and leave quickly. As long as we have the green mountains, we will never be short of firewood!"

These bandits may be good at fighting when the wind is favorable, but now facing a large number of well-trained officers and soldiers, they dare not force their way in.

Brother Tiger looked fiercely at the approaching shields and chariots, "Then all my efforts were in vain, right?"

Hu San smiled awkwardly, "Brother Hu, we are a bandit, and we were able to kill two county magistrates and control such a large area of ​​Qingshui County. We have brought honor to the bandits!"

"We have been bandits for so many years, and we have been able to enjoy a good life, but the prerequisite is that we have to stay alive! If we die, the only ones who will feel sad for us are our families! The other brothers can still enjoy a good life by hiding in the mountains."

"If you feel embarrassed, let's have someone shoot a few rounds of arrows at the city gate and then say we can't win and we'll retreat immediately. If anyone makes fun of us, let them attack us in the future, and they'll have the good life in the back!"

The most important thing is to survive without anything!

Although Brother Hu is impulsive, he has been a bandit for more than ten years and naturally knows the rules to save his life.

Brother Hu cursed and gritted his teeth, saying, "Shoot your arrows immediately. Shoot ten rounds in a row and retreat immediately! Use up all your arrows!"

After hearing Brother Hu's order, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, did not aim, and some even shot arrows with their eyes closed.

A soldier was standing near the city gate, trying to minimize his presence.

When seeing so many arrows shot down from the city gate, Xie Jin still asked everyone to move forward, "Shieldmen and archers, hold on, keep moving forward, don't stop!"

Seeing the shieldmen and archers getting closer, the bandits disguised as defenders on the city gate increased their archery speed.

When their arrows were about to run out, dozens of people jumped out from the mountains on both sides, rushed to the city gate tower, picked up their spears and stabbed forward.

When the bandits saw someone coming at them from the flank, they immediately dropped their bows and arrows and fled in all directions.

Zhou Jin listened to the report and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that everything was under control.
