Chapter 667 Rescue
Shouling County
At some point, a crack was opened in the city gate, and dozens of bandits squeezed into the outside.
Countless yamen runners and officers and soldiers rushed up to block the door, and the rest were crazy and fought with these dozens of bandits.
But these dozens of bandits were obviously masters. One person held a spear, and his bravery was comparable to Zhang Fei. One spear swept across, and countless yamen runners, and the soldiers were broken and suffered heavy casualties.
The whole county town was in chaos and fire was everywhere.
Magistrate Wang and Zhou County Magistrate hurriedly came out of the county government. Before the people could reach the city gate, they saw rows of beacons ignited from afar, and their hearts suddenly stumbled.
"This is--"
Such dense beacons obviously mean that the city gate can no longer be guarded.
Magistrate Wang knew that many of the soldiers of the Yongyi Army had not closed their eyes for three days and three nights. Now they were weak and their fighting spirit was gone.
"What will my little life spanking end in the end?"
Magistrate Wang rode his horse all the way to the city gate, but County Magistrate Zhou was not as fast as he rode, and he followed him in an instant.
"Don't follow me, go by yourself. You have good riding skills and good martial arts skills. Now I'll go and ask for help from us in person. Maybe there's still time..."
County Magistrate Zhou rolled his eyes.
Several groups of people who asked for help were sent out, with people from all directions. The encircled memorial in Shouling County was rushed to the capital for 800 miles.
But there is no news at all.
It is logical that this is not the case. Don’t worry about the bandits and strong men, under normal circumstances, you will not dare to rob the postmen who send letters.
The most serious robbery of others is to die by yourself. However, the postman will be robbed. First, the court will have to investigate the matter to the end. Second, once it is found, it will be like a rebellion and a serious crime for the three tribes.
As soon as County Magistrate Wang found that the stones sent were sunk to the sea, he knew that this time, he might really have to capsize in the gutter and be in great trouble.
County Magistrate Zhou was not a fool, so he naturally knew it.
"I originally thought that in this life, I could get a fourth-rank before retiring, and I would have an explanation to my father and mother, as well as the brothers in my family. I didn't expect that when I ended up, let alone the fourth-rank, I would probably have to be guilty if I die."
Magistrate Wang glanced at the old friend, "I am the magistrate of this county, I can't leave, why do you have to stay?"
County Magistrate Zhou:... He didn't know either.
Before today, he didn't know whether he would stay, but when things came to an end, he did not hesitate and did so.
Magistrate Wang said helplessly: "Our friendship seems to have not reached the point of living and dying together."
Zhou County Magistrate was not angry, but just sighed: "I know what you think. You think you are the magistrate and the magistrate of Shouling. Your parents cannot protect the county town, so you think you must die for the death of your life."
"But if you die, and I will live, will everyone think I am a coward in the future? Bah, if you dare to die, I will not dare? If we two say who is timid and who should live, then it should be you, and it will not be my turn."
Magistrate Wang: “…”
County Magistrate Zhou still said: "You have thought about dying? How can you die? We are a magistrate and a county magistrate, so we must be vigorous and decent..."
With a bang, Magistrate Wang had no time to refute and suddenly looked up and saw a big hole in the city gate, and countless black heads rushed in.
County Magistrate Zhou swung his spear and rushed forward, but he stood on the spot. He fought with both sides, his chest was stimulating like a bellows, and his body was covered in cold sweat.
It was not until this moment that Magistrate Wang was surprised that he was so brave.
He was very scared.
Magistrate Wang rolled down from the horse, and the two yamen runners beside him were saying something loudly, but he couldn't hear it, and he stumbled up to look into the distance.
Smoke rolling outside the city.
When countless soldiers of the brave and righteous army fell down in the city, they were like harvesting wheat, one after another, with wailing and crying pain one after another.
Countless people fled in a panic, and every household was carrying the elderly and the children out, but they didn't know where to escape.
The carriage was stolen, the child was left on the road without anyone to care, and he could only cry, and the old man fell to the street, with a dusty face and a confused look on his face.
Magistrate Wang gasped, couldn't help but close his eyes, and shook his head: "I didn't expect that I would end like this."
He remembered his wife.
The woman loves pretty all her life. If she loses herself, can she still wear gold and silver? She likes bright colors the most, and she may not be easy to wear in the future.
Magistrate Wang sighed.
I hope my wife can tolerate it, at least for a few years, so that she will not be glamorous shortly after she dies, so that others can see her, and then tell her behind her back that she is not the kind of person who can ignore the rumors.
Perhaps because he was extremely afraid, his mind became extremely rich.
I think of what he has done in his life for the years.
Missing home, missing your wife, missing your parents-
The bandits completely broke through the city gate.
Magistrate Wang knew in his heart that his life would indeed end today. However, as the old friend said, he still needs to be decent.
As soon as he thought of this, he cleared his throat, and countless voices and expressions of his predecessors appeared in his mind. He tried his best to organize his language. The words he wanted to say at the last moment should be heard in his ears and remembered in his heart. How could a real man not seek to leave a name in history?
Now he deserves the opportunity to leave his name in history.
"Well, Wang has been an official for eleven years——"
Magistrate Wang looked around at his companion with grief and anger. The yamen runner said solemnly, "I..."
Boom!
With a bang, a huge rock fell down and was stuck at the city gate. In an instant, the bandits squeezed in front of the city gate disappeared.
After a while, the remaining ones started to wail, and the birds scattered like beasts.
Magistrate Wang quickly rubbed his eyes and looked out. He saw countless torches on the hill not far outside the city gate, and arrows poured down like rain.
A group of bandits were knocked out.
roar!
A pile of green eyes emerged from the hills outside the city, and then countless poisonous snakes climbed down the bushes and grass.
In an instant, the bandits lined up outside the city in an orderly manner, and the fighting spirits were in a mess. Almost all the horses were weak and could not control themselves.
Now, the bandits finally looked like bandits.
When Magistrate Wang looked at this time, he immediately realized that these bandits were very popular, but there were only a thousand people who were really well-trained, and the rest seemed to have received some training, but they were definitely temporary and it would be okay to be smooth sailing. This problem was immediately exposed, obviously they were all working together, not the same way.
When there was chaos outside, the Yongyi Army soldiers immediately became more courageous and took the opportunity to seal the city gate again, and chopped down all the bandits who broke in.
Magistrate Wang choked his throat with his stomach: "—— Hiccup!"
Chapter completed!
