Chapter 328 Siege
The people at the city gate looked at each other in confusion when they heard the shouting from the city wall.
The bearded man standing in the front on horseback asked the middle-aged man with a scholarly look and a goatee next to him, "Master Guan, is the plan messed up?"
According to the original plan, Ah Gui and Cao Mengyun have already plundered all the wealthy people in Nanchuan City, and they are just waiting for them to open the city gates and start a massacre.
Why is it that they have shouted so many times at the city gate, but the gate is still closed tightly? Wasn’t it easy for Geng Jiang to bring Cao Mengyun into the city before?
"It must have gone bad."
Guan Sheng squinted his eyes and looked at the city wall. "Is there anyone on the city wall?"
He studied so hard when he was young that his vision is not so convenient now.
“It seems so.”
Guan Sheng listened to the ambiguous words around him and pursed his lips slightly.
It was inconvenient for him to read, but some people are really "blind" and it would be better for them to dig out their eyes and use them themselves.
Guan Sheng stroked his smooth beard and thought: I wonder if the ugly doctor's experiment of moving other people's eyes into someone else's eyes was successful.
If there are still not enough people, there are at least tens of thousands of people in Nanchuan City, which should be enough for her to experiment.
"Scream again, and if you don't open it, I'll force you to attack!"
Guan Sheng looked at the gate of Nanchuan City and said to the bearded man beside him.
They had already found out everything before they came, not to mention that Cao Mengyun had been lurking around Geng Jiang for so long and knew Geng Jiang best.
There shouldn't be any mistakes.
Geng Jiang's brain is no match for Cao Mengyun.
So Guan Sheng now suspects that Cao Mengyun has betrayed them.
"Open the door and let Cao Mengyun come and answer!"
The bearded man's voice was loud and clear. Zhou Yunshu stood on the city wall, ordering people to move stones and wood from the bottom of the city, and at the same time asked people to go to the homes of nearby residents to heat oil and water.
By the way, he told Jing Gao and others about his method of defending the city and asked them to send someone to inform the guards of the other three city gates.
I left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to give proper instructions.
When the bearded man had been shouting for a long time and still no one came to open the city gate, he finally couldn't hold back and called on his brothers behind him with long swords to start attacking the city.
As they ran towards the city gate, not only was there a thick gangplank behind the gate, but it was also supported by six logs, and eight people were watching over it.
When the bearded man and his men rushed up, before they reached the city gate, Guan Sheng's loud shouts of "retreat" mixed with the sound of stones falling from the city wall.
The bearded man was quite agile on his horse, but he was still hit on the leg by a stone. When he looked up angrily to see who had done it, he saw an arrow pointing straight at him.
The anger in the bearded man's eyes turned into fear. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, the arrow suddenly shot behind him.
"Guan Sheng!"
The bearded man turned his head following the arrow, and then saw that the arrow that was originally shot at him pierced Guan Sheng's heart, and then he fell straight off the horse.
Guan Sheng was the military advisor of their team. Now that Guan Sheng was in trouble, the bearded man had no mood to attack the city. When he turned around and grabbed the reins to leave, the arrows on the city wall kept chasing him. Even though he thought his kung fu was pretty good, the man on the city wall was too good at archery and he was still hit by two arrows.
"withdraw!"
The bearded man didn't care about the rest of the people who were knocked down by the stones. The important thing now was to go back quickly and ask the ugly doctor in the team to see if Guan Sheng could be saved.
After the bearded man escaped with Guan Sheng, whose life or death was unknown, Zhou Yunshu did not let down her guard.
There was no one outside the city, so Zhou Yunshu directed Huang Yusheng to bring people to bring the injured bandits in, and Zhou Yunshu personally interrogated them.
She had to find out who the other side's leader was, how many people there were on the other side, and whether there were any capable people. In short, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
These bandits were already injured, and were being pointed at by swords and knives all around. Before Zhou Yunshu could torture them, they rushed to reveal the details of the bearded man's gang.
This group of people called themselves the Emperor's Army. Well, just by hearing the name, you can tell that this group of people wants to rebel.
Facts have proven that what they were doing was indeed the business of confiscating property and exterminating families.
The leader of the Emperor's Army was named Ren Huang, and was also respected as the Human Emperor by the Emperor's Army. In short, he was a man who would be executed along with his entire clan if caught by the government.
However, he is now very powerful. He massacred Yuncheng, raided Kuixian, and recruited many subordinates. It is said that the emperor's army now has 10,000 people.
Ren Huang had four generals under his command, each of whom led a team of a thousand men.
The bearded man who was beaten to a pulp by Zhou Yunshu and left with Guan Sheng in his arms was Zhu Fei, one of the four generals.
The Agui who was killed by Chu San before was another one of the four generals.
So Zhou Yunshu had accidentally killed a general under Ren Huang and seriously injured another one without realizing it.
However, Zhou Yunshu did not look down on this so-called Ren Huang. Since he was able to gather so many people and capture Yuncheng and Kuixian successively, he must have his strengths.
After getting all the information about the Emperor's Army out of him, Zhou Yunshu ordered the people around him to send these begging bandits to see the King of Hell.
"Master, what do we do now?"
Zhou Yunshu looked at Jing Gao who had returned and said, "You take Yu Sheng and guard the city here. If there is an enemy attack, sound the drum to warn them."
"yes!"
Zhou Yunshu said this and left the East City Gate.
At this time, most of the people in Nanchuan City learned that the bandits who came to attack the city were the bandits who had previously massacred Yuncheng and Kuixian.
They also knew that the envoys of King Huainan had temporarily taken over the defense of Nanchuan City. As long as they were not that group of bandits, they were still willing to cooperate, not to mention that this was related to the life and death of their entire family.
Therefore, when Zhou Yunshu walked into the city, she kept seeing young and strong people spontaneously walking towards the city gate.
Some came voluntarily, and of course there were also those who hid themselves away out of fear of death.
Anyone who hid would be forced to do hard labor under the city walls if they were found.
Zhou Yunshu found Wu Gui amidst all the noise and panic. She and Kang Jingyu had just spread the news that the bandits who massacred Yuncheng were coming to attack Nanchuan City on the stage near the west gate, and were preparing to go to the next place to preach again.
Wu Gui saw Zhou Yunshu coming over and hurried over to ask, "Why are you here? What's going on at the East City Gate?"
"We've repelled them for now. You guys..."
Before Zhou Yunshu could finish her words, she saw a sudden commotion on the wall of the west city gate.
Originally, since there were bandits attacking the city from the East Gate, the West Gate should be safe for the time being, but now looking at the commotion at the West Gate, the incident must have happened outside the West Gate.
When Zhou Yunshu, Wu Gui and others ran up the wall of the west city gate, Geng Jiang was arguing with the people at the gate.
"Fuck, if you have the guts, just kill these pregnant women and children. They're not my women or my offspring, so I don't care if they live or die!"
Zhou Yunshu looked over and saw Ali, who was pregnant, among the group of women and children at the city gate.
How could she be here!
