Chapter 327: Siege
Zhou Yunshu frowned and looked at Chunque and asked, "Which city gate in Nanchuan is less than 20 miles away?"
"East Gate."
After Chunque finished speaking, Zhou Yunshu immediately said, "Chunque, take Wu Gui and Kang Jingyu, master and servant, back to the Mountain Summer Palace. I suspect that group of people will attack the city today. You take the Mengbei team and act accordingly."
"If the number of bandits exceeds 5,000, you must find a way to bring Yan Shilei and the others back."
Chunque's eyes flashed, and he said to Zhou Yunshu, "Yes, Master!"
"Yunshu!" Wu Gui grabbed Zhou Yunshu's sleeve and said, "I'll stay."
"I know you sent me away because you were worried about me, but it would be easier for Chunque to return to the Summer Resort by herself. I want to stay and help..."
Before Wu Gui could finish his words, a small thug suddenly rushed in from outside the door and shouted to Yu Yinghao, "Second Master, a lot of bandits with knives have suddenly appeared outside the city gate!"
Although they are also a group of bandits, they are obviously not as powerful as the ferocious bandits outside. If a fight really breaks out, they will be the ones being beaten!
"Boss and Second Boss, why don't we just surrender and hand over Nanchuan City to those people!"
The little minion trembled and said that the group of people were too scary. If he could give up the city in exchange for his life, it would be worth it.
As for the life and death of the people in the city, what does it have to do with them?
Yu Yinghao also looked at Geng Jiang. He actually agreed with what this little follower said.
"Let's surrender! These people from Nanchuan City are so ungrateful. We haven't done anything and they've already scolded us. Why not just surrender Nanchuan City and let them see for themselves what truly vicious bandits look like!"
Seeing that Yu Yinghao supported him, the little minion nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, Boss, let's run away quickly. As long as there is life, there will be no shortage of firewood!"
"But we've already killed Cao Mengyun and that guy called Ah Gui, and even captured all of their minions. Do you think they'll let us go?"
Geng Jiang's mind was clear for once. He truly felt that the people of Nanchuan City were ungrateful and inconsiderate, only cursing him for being so happy about his death. However...
He also thought about how Cao Mengyun had been controlling him not long ago. He went out shopping alone and found that he had no money with him. He was so hungry that he squatted at the foot of the wall and received dry food from the people nearby.
He had rarely received such pure kindness.
Even if the dry food was given to him while he was scolding the bandit leader.
When Yu Yinghao heard what Geng Jiang said, he felt his heart instantly turn cold.
Zhou Yunshu said, "Don't panic. Nanchuan City is so big. As long as we guard the city gates well, they won't be able to break through the gates if they don't have enough people."
Yu Yinghao kept shaking his head and said, "No, no, not necessarily. They can do it. Didn't they capture Yuncheng and Kuixian? Our Nanchuan City is not even as big as Yuncheng!"
Zhou Yunshu looked at the panicked Yu Yinghao and said, "That's because there are people colluding with him from the inside."
"If we hadn't killed and captured Cao Mengyun, Ah Gui and the others last night, do you think there would be anyone guarding the city gate today? They would have opened the gate to welcome those people long ago!"
Zhou Yunshu looked at Geng Jiang and the others and said, "Nanchuan City has four gates. If you don't want to die by their swords and don't want the city to be massacred, then guard them."
"If there are any cowards among the defenders who open the city gates, you will die."
The reason why Zhou Yunshu mentioned you guys is because if it really came to a life-or-death moment, she would not bring her people here to wait for death.
Geng Jiang also thought of this, but he had quite a few spineless men under his command, otherwise the first sentence of the minion who ran in just now would not have been to ask Geng Jiang and Yu Yinghao to surrender and offer the city.
"Then we..."
"Go defend the city!" Zhou Yunshu looked at Geng Jiang and said, "I'll go to the East Gate, Mr. Yu will go to the South Gate, Geng Jiang, you go to the West Gate, and Meng Nan, you take the men to guard the remaining gate."
"good!"
"What can I do?" Wu Gui looked at Zhou Yunshu and asked.
Zhou Yunshu looked at Wu Gui and Kang Jingyu and said, "Go and inform the people of the entire city that the bandits who massacred Yuncheng and Kuixian have arrived. If you don't want to die, cooperate with the city guards and let the young and strong men in your families guard the city gates."
Zhou Yunshu would not guard the city gate silently to protect the people in the city. Since she was guarding Nanchuan City, she had to let everyone know and everyone had to participate.
It would be impossible to conquer such a big city relying solely on her and Geng Jiang's men.
"If there is any disruption to the morale of the army..." Zhou Yunshu looked at Kang Jingyu and said, "Young Master Kang has been in the military camp before, so he should know what to do."
"Leave it to me." He would not watch the people of a city being slaughtered under his nose.
After Zhou Yunshu finished giving the instructions, she immediately asked everyone to do their respective duties.
Of course, when Geng Jiang went to guard his own city gate, he needed to go to the East Gate to support Zhou Yunshu.
As for Chunque, Zhou Yunshu asked her to stay with Yu Yinghao, and then find an opportunity to leave Nanchuan City to meet up with Meng Bei and others at the summer resort outside the city. It would be best if she could find Yan Shilei and his group who were "training" outside.
This way they can work together inside and outside to catch the turtle in the jar.
Just as the little minion who brought the news said, when Zhou Yunshu brought Chu San and others to the east city gate wall, Geng Jiang's people were already in a panic.
"What are you panicking about?"
Geng Jiang's roar instantly gave the people on the city wall their backbone.
"Boss, you're okay!"
"Great! You're not dead, Boss!"
Geng Jiang pinched his waist and said, "Why should I die? I haven't even taken care of my brothers yet, so how could I possibly die? No matter who dies, I won't die!"
Geng Jiang said to his men, "Look carefully! This nobleman is my younger brother, and also the brother-in-law of the Prince of Huainan. I, your boss, have now surrendered to the King of Huainan. Defending the city is our first mission today, and you must do it well!"
When Zhou Yunshu saw the two to three hundred men at the gate, she turned and said to Geng Jiang's men, "As long as you defend the city well, I will commend you all to His Majesty the Prince of Huainan, and I will offer you official positions and gold and silver!"
As soon as Zhou Yunshu finished speaking, the eyes of the people around her suddenly lit up!
If they had a choice, they would not want to be bandits. Now that they have official positions and wealth in front of them, which can be achieved by simply defending the city, they will definitely hold on to them.
"Don't worry, Master, don't worry, Your Highness! We will defend Nanchuan City to the death!"
"Defend Nanchuan City to the death!"
