During this period, he sent letters to Huang Zhong and others stationed in Wu County seeking help, but the reply he received was always just two words: "Stay put."

If it weren't for his own efforts in organizing the people to defend the city, and the support of Sun Zhong and others, Fuchun would probably have changed hands long ago.

“Your Excellency need not worry, these rebel troops will not be able to get in!” Sun Zhong stepped forward to comfort him.

"Alas, thanks to Patriarch Sun's assistance in defending the city these past few days, otherwise I would surely have met my doom!"

The magistrate of Fuchun County sighed and looked at Sun Zhong with gratitude in his eyes.

"Your Excellency is too kind. My son, Wentai, is deeply trusted by His Majesty and entrusted with important responsibilities. As his father, I cannot disgrace him, can I?"

Sun Zhong smiled and spoke of Sun Jian, saying that it was something to be proud of.

Upon hearing this, the magistrate of Fuchun County nodded. He knew that without Sun Zhong's organization of the city's powerful families to provide full assistance, Fuchun would probably have been lost long ago.

Just as the two were talking, a messenger ran over excitedly.

"Your Excellency... reinforcements, reinforcements have arrived!"

"Great, they've finally arrived!"

The magistrate of Fuchun County was immediately overjoyed, and the gloom in his heart disappeared.

Soon, the magistrate of Fuchun County welcomed Huang Zhong and his entourage into the city.

When they learned that all the powerful local gentry and gentry in Fuchun were doing their utmost to help defend the city, Huang Zhong and the others abandoned their idea of ​​taking action.

Early the next morning, the rebels launched another attack on Fuchun. The 40,000 rebels split into two groups, one attacking the south gate and the other attacking the east gate.

When the rebels reached the city walls, countless arrows rained down from the top of the walls, and hundreds of rebels were killed instantly.

"Is it the Imperial Guards?"

The rebel leader in charge of the siege exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the newly arrived red-armored soldiers on the city walls.

"Retreat immediately!!"

The rebel leader immediately ordered a retreat. Fuchun's original few thousand ragtag troops had held them off for so long, and now that the Imperial Guards had arrived, he knew that Fuchun could not be taken.
