Chapter 447

In the end, Chenghu and Li Yuanhe still didn't have dinner with him. After all, they had prepared meals at home. If they didn't go to eat, it would be wasted. Although they have some oil and water at the gate of the city, most of them have to take the initiative to give it to Li Yuanhe. Their life can only be regarded as medium level, and there is not so much to waste.

After lunch, the maid picked up the dishes and chopsticks and went back directly. But Chenghu those people have not come back, this noon period of time by Li Yuanhe temporary help guard the gate. Anyway, at noon, almost no one went in and out of the city gate. Li Yuanhe just sat under the awning and went to check it when someone came.

"Step on step!"

At the end of the afternoon, Li Yuanhe suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from outside the city. He got up and walked quickly to the gate of the city. However, he saw that a horse was running towards here not far from the city. Li Yuanhe's eyes are not bad, squint his eyes, but see that the knight's whole body is bloodstained, embarrassed.

Li Yuanhe was so surprised that he quickly took a spear from the city wall and stood at the gate of the city. Facing the horse who was about to run into the gate, he said, "who is it? Enter the city and dismount

I don't know if he was frightened by Li Yuanhe. Just after the horse had passed the gate of the city, there was a neighing, raised its front hoof high and fell to the ground. And the knight on the horse's back was also thrown off the horse's back just as the horse raised its hooves. Fortunately, otherwise, he would have to be crushed by the fallen horse.

Li Yuanhe ran to the knight and found that both the knight and the horse on the ground were covered with blood. The horse was lying on the ground, panting and foaming, and could not live. And the knight's clothes were ragged, which could only be seen as the military uniform of the state of Qin. Those rags of military uniform are all wounds, and some even can see white bones. The knight didn't wear a helmet on his head. The bun had been in a mess for a long time. Countless hair fell on his face, but it was adhered to the skin by sweat and blood. From the knight's appearance, the knight was probably less than 20 years old. His face was covered by blood and dust, but he had no beard. His upper and lower lips were still dry and cracked, and his eyes could only be slightly opened.

Li Yuanhe rushed to the knight. He was also a soldier of the later Qin Dynasty. He quickly helped the knight to get up. However, the knight was obviously weak. Relying on the strength of Li Yuan and his body, he was helped to the side under the awning, and immediately poured a cup of tea for him, put it on the knight's mouth and fed him water. It may be because of the glass of water that the knight finally recovered a little strength. Although he tried to get up, it affected several wounds on his body, which made him grin.

However, it was because of the pain that he woke up a lot. Looking at Li Yuanhe in front of him, he finally recognized that he was a post Qin soldier. The knight patted the chest with difficulty, but he had no strength to reach in. Li Yuanhe immediately understood the meaning of the knight and took it out of the knight's arms without touching the wound on the knight's chest.

Li Yuanhe's fingers soon ran into a square object in the knight's arms. It should be the thing the knight wanted to take. He took it out and had a look. It was a black iron card. The iron plate is only the size of a palm. On one side, it is engraved with the word "Hou Qin", while on the other side is an eagle flying with wings. But the knight said to Li Yuanhe weakly, "I am the garrison of Jingnan City, the Scout of the garrison! The black tiger outside the city, the Black Tiger Village outside the city, is gathering forces, intending to attack the southern city of Beijing

Li Yuanhe was shocked when he heard the knight's words, and the knight was using his last strength to say: "there are about 20000 or 20000 people gathered in the black tiger stronghold, which is very powerful! Come on, report to the city Lord With these last words, the knight's head was crooked, but he passed out.

At this time, Cheng Hu and others, who had just had lunch at home, walked slowly to the gate of the city. They were surprised to see the scene at the gate of the city. They ran to Li Yuanhe, but they didn't know what had happened and whether they should ask. Li Yuanhe shook the iron card in the handshake and told Cheng Hu and others, "Zhao Yong! Zhao Meng! Qian Laojiu! Close the gate at once! No access! Cheng Hu, you go to inform the other three gates that there may be enemy troops coming and ask them to close the gate too! Wu San, you go to the city to guard the official residence of Xiaowei and find the captain to explain the situation here! Xu Liansheng, you go to the hospital in the city and ask several doctors to come and treat the brother's injuries! Ma er pockmarked son, you stay to take care of this brother! I'll go to the Lord's house! "

Li Yuanhe quickly ordered his subordinates to one side and ran to the city immediately. Only six of his subordinates were looking at each other. Qian Laojiu carefully looked at Cheng Hu and asked, "brother Cheng, do you really want to close the gate of the city? But if we close the city gate without the order of the captain, we will all be held responsible. "

Cheng Hu is frightened by Li Yuanhe's saying that "there are enemies coming". When has there been a war in Jingnan city for so many years? Cheng Hu has never heard of an enemy since he was an official here. But looking at the tragic image of the young soldier in front of him, Li Yuanhe was still in a hurry. However, Cheng Hu had already convinced him that he was worried. Even though he bit his teeth, he said, "don't say more! Your majesty has ordered us to do it! The city gate is closed, no matter in and out, all are not allowed! When the three of you close the city gate, take up your guns and guard for me! That Qian Laojiu, you'll climb up to the city and watch it later. There are Zhao Yong and Zhao Meng guarding it. There's no problem! "People, you look at me, I look at you. Now the top two officers at the north gate of the city have spoken. Naturally, they have to obey the orders. All of them are busy, and Cheng Hu takes the time to run to the nearest east gate of the city.

Li Yuanhe is now fighting for his life to run to the city Lord's house. After living in Jingnan city for so many years, he naturally knows where the city Lord's house is. But now Li Yuanhe is running, but his heart is turned upside down. Li Yuanhe has also heard of the reputation of the black tiger stronghold. It is a group of bandits on the crouching tiger mountain, more than 50 Li north of the southern city of Beijing. It is said that it was founded by a group of deserters who went down from the north to the South 15 years ago. But speaking of the bandits, there are quite a few of them around Jingnan City, but they have never heard of such courage to attack Jingnan city.

However, listening to the scouts, more than 20000 people gathered in the black tiger stronghold! However, although Jingnan city is a big city of the later Qin Dynasty, because it is located in the hinterland of the latter Qin Dynasty and is far away from the border, there are not many defenders in the city, and there are only about 1000 soldiers in the city. Although these regular garrisons are far more equipped than those bandits outside the city, after all, no one has a large number of them. As the saying goes, ants kill elephants. If there are no other effective measures, these 1000 soldiers alone will not be able to withstand the attack of 20000 people from the other side. When those ferocious bandits outside the city enter the city, they are afraid that the people in the south of Beijing will have bad luck!

He quickly came to the city Lord's house in the center of the city. Li Yuanhe immediately walked to the gate of the city Lord's house, but was stopped by the two soldiers at the gate. One of the soldiers frowned and said, "be bold! Who are you? How dare you break into the city Lord's house

Li Yuanhe quickly clasped his fist at the two soldiers and said: "I am the city guard Sima Liyuanhe at the north gate of the city! We have important military information to report to the Lord of the city! Two brothers, please tell me one or two! "

When the two soldiers heard Li Yuanhe's words, they immediately showed a trace of doubt. It seemed that they didn't trust Li Yuanhe's words very much. Even if Li Yuanhe is indeed a city guard Sima, he is only the lowest ranking officer in the army. Moreover, he still guards at the gate every day. What kind of military information can he report?

Li Yuanhe didn't believe the two soldiers, so he was worried. The Scout only said that the black tiger stronghold came to attack the city, but did not say when. In case the army of the black tiger stronghold is not far away from the city, is this delay a major event? Li Yuanhe pinched his fists. He suddenly remembered that he still held the scouting's iron card in his hand. Even though he presented the iron card with both hands and sent it to the two soldiers, he said, "this is the token carried by the scouts who bring military information. What I have said is true. Please inform the city Lord quickly. The military situation is urgent!"

The soldier who asked Li Yuanhe frowned and took the token, which was covered with scouts' blood, and looked at it carefully, but his face changed greatly. Although the soldier had no rank at all, he was just a common little soldier, but he was guarding at the gate of the city Lord's mansion. Naturally, he had seen the special token for scouts in the army, and it could be seen at a glance that the token was true. In that case, they believed what Li Yuanhe said. Even if he said to his companions, "watch here, I'll report to the city Lord right away!" With that, he opened the gate of the mansion in a hurry and ran to the city Lord's house.

At last, Li Yuanhe was relieved and gave a fist to the remaining guard soldier to express his gratitude. Seeing Li Yuanhe as an officer, the soldier did not have the slightest arrogance, and could not help but have some good feelings for Li Yuanhe. Even if he was asked to enter the mansion, he would rest inside the gate of the mansion.
