Chapter 225 One person for one city
"On this point, you don't have to doubt it. We have already confirmed this matter. The compatriots in Luoyan Pagoda will defend Anmu City with us. In the future, Anmu City will be the last line of defense for our Nanxiao Kingdom."
Liang Sheng said to the people.
In fact, letting the untrained people kill the enemy is like hitting the stone with an egg. However, according to Xiao Xuan, what they want is not to let the people go to the front line to kill the enemy, but the hearts of the people in the entire city.
The family did not expect that they would actually be waiting for Beirou soldiers, but everyone was relieved to hear that the person who led the soldiers was Wuma Kui, which means that he had already escaped from the city. When the other party is in the light, they don't have to worry too much that Yin Miao will be plotted against.
"Also ask my uncle to help us."
Xiao Xuan said to Yin Bowu that many capable soldiers in Anmucheng died, and Yin Bowu was experienced.
"I?"
Yin Bowu asked in surprise.
"Uncle is one of the lieutenant generals in the army. In terms of experience, he is better than many people, and he is brave and skillful in battle. If there is uncle to help, this time will be even more powerful."
Xiao Xuan's remarks made Yin Bowu so excited, he immediately took up arms and went to the city wall to show off.
"Okay, I know you are thinking of my father, what if my father underestimates the enemy later?"
Yin Miao persuaded Xiao Xuan in a low voice. Although Yin Bowu was optimistic and cheerful on weekdays, he always had a knot in his heart. After all, he used to be confident that he was going to protect the family and defend the country. Chasing and running, and letting him show at the right time would be good for him...
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xuan said with a smile: "A Miao and relax, we will not face each other for the time being."
Yin Miao quickly understood what Xiao Xuan meant: "You mean fighting a protracted war?"
"Yes, the only thing we have to do is to defend the city gate and city wall. After all, at this time, no matter inside or outside the city, there is the same lack of food and drink."
While Xiao Xuan was talking, the eastern sky had already revealed a fish belly white, and Yin Miao also smiled.
I have come here, and I will soon arrive at Shangyun City. It is not bad to recharge my batteries...
…
The Beirou iron cavalry outside the city of Anmu was already approaching the city at dawn, and Shen Qiu stood on the city wall and frowned slightly.
The most ferocious Beirou cavalry came in front of them, all of them were fierce and brave. And there were only more than a thousand defenders left in Anmu City. Even if the refugees who came along had good physical strength, if the two soldiers crossed each other, Anmu City would definitely miss.
Fighting a protracted war was their only option.
"Master Shen, what are your thoughts?" Xiao Xuan walked over and asked casually.
Shen Qiu bowed and said: "I only know some things on paper, but if you look at the sky, this drought will probably continue for a long time..."
"Don't worry about this Master Shen for the time being, there will be no shortage of water in Anmu City for the time being."
Xiao Xuan had just finished speaking, and someone had already carried the wooden boxes onto the city wall. Liang Sheng took the guards to look at it, and his heart was suddenly shocked.
Mr. Xiao, he really has weapons!
Still the best bow and arrow!
Shen Qiu did not expect that Xiao Xuan would be able to get these weapons after he said he could, and at this moment, he couldn't help but think highly of him.
Wu Ma Kui also looked down at the city wall in front of him. Instead of attacking the city right away, he asked people to negotiate with the other side.
"what's going on?"
Chen Rushi was about to watch a good show, but unexpectedly those barbarians said they wanted a peaceful solution?
"Commander Liang, they said they would use a woman in exchange for withdrawing troops!"
the young official in charge of the negotiation reported.
Liang Sheng's expression is strange, Beirou people want a woman in their city? Can you even withdraw?
"Come on! Which woman is that?"
Beside Liang Sheng, Zhao Kangyu, whose beard had turned white, asked that he was a civil servant in Anmucheng, so Wumakui kept him as a non-threatening person.
"I heard that the woman's surname is Yin. She is the direct daughter of the former Duke of Yin's family. She also entered the city with Mr. Xiao this time."
replied the young officer.
Everyone looked at Xiao Xuan in unison, but saw that he was completely unmoved, but Yin Bowu scolded angrily from the side.
"Lao Tzu's, they dare to try to rob Lao Tzu's daughter, who would believe their nonsense!"
Zhao Kangyu pondered for a moment and said, "Wu Makui has never broken his promise. If he values this girl Yin so much, I think if we hand her over..."
"Don't pay."
Xiao Xuan looked at Zhao Kangyu with a cold expression, his eyes were full of coldness.
Liang Sheng also reacted immediately. The reason why he can get the blessing and reuse of the old city lord is naturally a bit farsighted.
Not to mention whether Wu Makui will really break his promise, the strength behind Xiao Xuan is mysterious and unpredictable, and now they can only rely on Xiao Xuan for An Mucheng, this person must not be offended, and... this is not him style.
"How can a man in a city use the safety of a woman in exchange for a moment's survival? Young Master Xiao, please rest assured, we will not hand over Miss Yin."
Liang Sheng assured.
However, this incident spread throughout the city very quickly, and many people who were afraid of Beirou felt a little hesitant after hearing it.
As long as one woman is handed over, so many brutal cavalry outside the city will retreat, and they will no longer fight and make sacrifices. Is this really worth a try?
Some people have even begun to inquire about who Yin Miao is and where she lives now.
"Joke, would you like to hand over your daughter to the barbarian?"
Li Tianyang stood at the entrance of the alley with a sword in his hand. This road has been covered by the people of his team E, and no one wants to disturb the family through it.
In particular, he wanted to hit his fellow Yin Miao, not to mention that Xiao Xuan had protected Yin Miao for the first time, even they did not agree.
"We didn't let it go, we just wanted to ask the girl what she meant, what if the family wanted to?"
A middle-aged man tried to push Li Tianyang away, but was kicked to the ground.
Li Tianyang is angry, do these people know who they are eating now? !
Although Yin Miao didn't tell him clearly, he could guess it, and now 80% of their food and drink came from Yin Miao, but due to systemic reasons, she couldn't explain so much to outsiders. This systemic he can also fully understand.
However, some people could not understand it.
The status of women in ancient times was low, so what was the harm in a woman who died?
"You! I think you are clearly doing it on purpose. What are you talking about, Young Master Xiao, maybe you are spies sent by other countries to provoke wars between the two countries!"
The middle-aged man pointed at Li Tianyang and cursed.
"Oh? Really? What's your name?"
Xiao Xuan walked out from behind the man, his words could not be heard of joy or anger, but his eyes were already cold as frost.
"My name is Cai Yong, these guys are all here to ask for an explanation. We are also thinking of the tens of thousands of people in the city!"
Cai Yong didn't remember what Xiao Xuan looked like, but at this time there were already people around him.
