Chapter two hundred and seventy-eight: I would rather be broken than broken tiles
Li Fugui ran into the county government gate with a gas radial. The iron chains and rulers on his body collided with each other, making a jingle. He was the headmaster of the 6th Class of Gaoyang County. "Too honor, you can't do this job!" Seeing Zhao Xu, he bowed with a bitter face and said loudly.
"Li Mazi, when is it now? You still come to me to sigh and sigh. Haven't I granted you full power?" Zhao Xu said unhappily. Li Fugui was defeated by smallpox when he was a child. He was lucky enough to have a life, but he left a dense pit on his face. Those who recognized him in the county called him Li Mazi behind his back, but this person had a big temper, but no one dared to call him that in front of him. Today, Zhao Xu was a moment of scratching his mind. Li Fugui, who was responsible for maintaining the security of the county, came to complain, just to touch the bad news. Zhao Xu called his nickname without hesitation and shouted.
Li Fugui had no intention of caring about these things, not to mention that Zhao Xu was his immediate superior. "Tao Zun, in just half a day today, dozens of smashing and looting cases occurred in the city, more than ten people were injured, two people lost their lives, dozens of shops were robbed, all my brothers were scattered, hundreds of people were arrested, and now they can't be locked in the prison. Moreover, I see that the emotions of the people in the city are about to collapse, and something big may happen at any time."
Zhao Xu gritted his teeth, "The country is in danger. If you dare to cause trouble, Li Mazi, you will chop them up on me."
Li Fugui had a bitter face, "Tao Zun, most of them are recognized and just follow the trend. The real rioter has already run away, how can I kill me!"
"Farting. There are serious rules in troubled times. At this time, don't be afraid of killing people. If you don't dare, I will change to someone who dares to be the captain." Zhao Xu shouted.
Li Mazi responded with a bitter face, turned his head and took a few steps, and turned around: "Tai Zun. I can't be locked in prison anymore!"
Zhao Xu grabbed his beard and numb his teeth. He said, "Send all these people to Wei Zhengwei and give them a knife. When the Gaoshan tribe arrives, they will let them go out of the city to fight. Don't they have the courage to do evil, so let them fight for the people in the city, die, and die a little more heroic."
"Yes. Too honor!" Li Fugui agreed and turned around and ran away.
"Tao Zun, you are causing trouble for me!" Wei Dongsheng looked at Zhao Xu and smiled bitterly: "You send this group of scumbags to me, and I have to give them some people to guard them."
"There's no way, Lord Wei, you can't really kill them now. At that time, you force them to go to the top of the city to defend the city. If you dare to retreat, you will cut him down and you can kill a few enemies."
Wei Dongsheng shook his head and sighed, "Tai Zun. It's still time for you to pay attention now. It's still time for you to leave now. We still have 500 troops in the army. We can protect you and withdraw safely. Once Meng Fei comes, he can't leave."
Zhao Xu looked up at the sky and said for a while: "I am deeply grateful to the country. How can I leave when the disaster is coming? What should I do if I leave? Lord Wei, don't forget to briefly describe how the general treated the Gaoshan people over the years, how we Dayue people treated the Gaoshan people. Once the city is broken, I am afraid that the extremely cruel revenge will follow."
"But now, we have no reinforcements to look forward to!" Wei Dongsheng said in a little desperately: "Although they gathered some strong people, they have no military qualities at all. With my five hundred people alone, I am afraid that the battle will be completely lost after one day, and the city will still be destroyed."
Zhao Xu was silent for a moment and patted Wei Dongsheng on the shoulder, "By that time, we were dead, we could not see, we could not see, we could not listen to our ears, we could not control what Gaoyang County is like!"
Wei Dongsheng turned around silently, walked to the door, turned around, and said in a stern voice: "Sir Taizun has decided, I have to accompany Taizun to this underworld road."
Zhao Xu clasped his fists with his hands and bowed deeply to Wei Dongsheng.
When the noise in the city stopped for a moment, Zhao Xu sat in the yard, listening to the shouts outside, listening to the golden drums on the city walls in the distance, and watching the thick smoke ignited from the water in the city due to the riots, his face twitched a few times. After sitting for a while, he stood up, walked to the firewood in the backyard, leaned over and picked up a bundle of dry firewood, walked towards the lobby, put the firewood in the lobby, turned around and walked back, piled up the firewood in the lobby one by one. The county yamen runners had been sent by him to Wei Dongsheng's command, and now he was the only one left in the entire county yamen.
When the city was broken, it would turn into a sea of fire. Zhao Xu held the seal of Gaoyang County Magistrate and placed it in the middle of the firewood bundle. In the lobby, a small bucket of lamp oil was placed there. After doing all this, Zhao Xu put out his official robe, dusted off the dust that had just been stained on his body, and sat upright behind the big case.
When the city was broken, not only here, but the entire Gaoyang City would turn into flaming flames. Wei Dongsheng's Five Hundred Town Army has been doing these things in the past few days. Some of the main locations in the city have been laid out to ensure that after the city is broken, the fire can spread throughout the city in a very short time.
It is better to be broken than to be completely broken. Zhao Xu is a proud Dayue man. He would never want to see Dayue man fall into the hands of the Gaoshan tribe and become their slaves.
"The barbarians are coming!" A faint cry came from afar, and then it was like relay, and the shouts became louder and louder, like rolling thunder, from far to near, quickly rolling towards the center of the city. Zhao Xu heard the panicked shouts in the city, the chaotic footsteps, and the screams of crying at the top of his lungs.
Li Fugui carried the knife, and blood was scattered on it. He ran into the county government with murderous aura, "Tao Zun, Tai Zun!" He shouted, pushed open the door of the lobby, his mouth suddenly opened, looking at Zhao Xu who was holding a wine glass to drink slowly, "Tao Zun, you?"
Zhao Xu put down his wine glass, "Li Mazi, why are you coming again?"
Li Fugui breathed a breath and understood what Zhao Xu meant, "Tai Zun, the barbarians are coming, I'm too lazy to care about those bastards anymore. I just killed a few gangsters who took advantage of the situation and temporarily suppressed them. Now, I want to go to the city to kill the enemy. A group of brothers under my command are willing to kill the enemy. I'll report to Tai Zun."
"Okay!" Zhao Xu laughed and said, "I am worthy of being the chief constable of Gao Yang. Go, I wish you more barbarians' heads here."
"That's natural!" Li Fugui's face shone with pockmarks, "Goodbye, too honor!" He turned around and left.
Zhao Xu looked at his figure running out and smiled and shook his head, "There is no use for nothing. He usually looks down on warriors. At this time, he realized that the least useful one was himself." After turning around the lobby, he suddenly rolled up his official robe, tucked it on his waist, picked up a water and fire stick beside the lobby, dragged it to the top of the city.
Outside Gaoyang City, teams of soldiers of the Gaoshan tribe were gathering towards a large flag, which was the king flag of Meng Fei, the leader of the Gaoshan tribe. Looking down from the top of the city, these soldiers were not well-equipped. Most of them were barefoot and covered their upper bodies. Many people only had a animal skin around their waists, and only a very small number of people were wearing leather armor. But what was shocking was that under the royal flag, there were about fifty elephants gathered, which was the ultimate weapon of the Gaoshan tribe, elephant soldiers. After the elephants in the mountain were trained by the Gaoshan tribe, they put on leather armor and saddles. Four or five soldiers were sitting on each elephant. This was the unique skill of Meng Fei, the king of the Gaoshan tribe, and it was also a weapon for them to intimidate other tribes.
Wei Dongsheng stared at the more and more enemies outside the city with a serious expression. Now there are about 5,000 people, and on the road in the distance, there are still people running towards here.
"Mr. Wei!" Zhao Xu dragged the water and fire stick and climbed up to the city panting, "Is the enemy going to attack?"
Wei Dongsheng looked at Zhao Xu and was surprised, "Tao Zun, why are you here in person?"
"One person has more strength." Zhao Xu said: "I can't do anything when I stay in the county government now, so it's better to come here."
"The enemy is gathering troops. When they complete integration, they will launch an attack. At most, there will be one hour." Wei Dongsheng said.
Zhao Xu squinted his eyes and murmured: "Mr. Wei, if we open the city at this time, you will lead the 500 town troops to attack, can you directly take the central army and kill Meng Fei, the dog head? Once Meng Fei dies, the enemy will naturally disperse."
Wei Dongsheng glanced at Zhao Xu and smiled bitterly, "Tao Zun, this is impossible. The enemy looks messy, but the army under Meng Fei's central army is very neat. When our troops rushed out, we could only be sheep entering the tiger's mouth. Maybe the other party was looking forward to us doing this! What's more, Meng Fei's central army has many elephant soldiers, and even if we rushed to them, we would only be able to get a knife!"
"Then I can only guard it?" Zhao Xu said disappointedly.
"Yes, only guarding is impossible for an elephant to climb the city."
The more soldiers of the Gaoshan clan were gathering in the city, with the sound of war drums, the equipment of the people coming from behind became better and better. Until a group of Gaoshan clan soldiers with about hundreds of people wearing the armor of Yizhou soldiers rushed over, the faces of the people on the city were ugly. This group of enemies came from the direction of Chenghua. They were holding a long bamboo pole in their hands, and there was a head in the pole without exception. Hundreds of bamboo poles and hundreds of heads were inserted under Gaoyang City like forests. On the city wall, the soldiers were better. Many of the young and strong people volunteered to defend the city began to squat on the ground, vomiting loudly, and many of them became weak on their legs and sank on the city.
Zhao Xu's chest and abdomen were also a little overturned, but when he saw the scene on the city, he forced himself to suppress his disgust and shouted loudly: "The people of Dayue, Gaoyang's fellow villagers, have you seen it? If Gaoyang City is broken, we will become the heads of these bamboo poles. If you want to survive, you must guard Gaoyang City, stand up, pick up your weapons, and erect your chest. If you want to survive, you should first treat yourself as a dead person!"!~!
