Chapter 832

With the two thousand defenders in the city, plus the various clans and powerful families, and the temporarily mobilized people, there were only ten thousand people.

How to fight?

How to defend?

If there were no reinforcements, there was only one way: wait for death.

The Northern Central General Lu Zhi had died in battle, and the fifty thousand elite imperial army had been destroyed; what could their thousand people do?

So, even though their stomachs were full, the soldiers standing on the city wall holding weapons were still dejected.

If the soldiers were like this, not to mention the temporarily conscripted people defending the city.

Zhen Jian led the Zhen clan's private soldiers to walk on the city wall, looking at the Huang Jin thieves outside the city with worry.

Outside the city, the vanguard general Deng Mao under Cheng Zhiyuan had been left outside the city for an entire afternoon.

The scorching sun was setting, and the sunlight was dazzling.

Deng Mao, who had been sitting under a tree and exposed to the sun for an entire afternoon, reached out to shade his eyes and looked toward the city wall of Wuji County in front of him.

He was cursing.

"Damn it, you don't know what's good for you, making me sit here in the sun for an entire afternoon."

Saying this, Deng Mao leaned on a large tree beside him and stood up, then picked up the water bag placed on the side and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water.

After wiping the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, Deng Mao threw the water bag to the side.

"Someone, bring me my horse." Deng Mao said coldly: "It seems that if I don't give them some color, they won't shed tears until they see the coffin; I have to break into the city and put my saber to their necks."

After Deng Mao's words fell, his subordinates led Deng Mao's horse over.

Following the sound of a dull horn, Deng Mao led his soldiers to gather at the north gate of Wuji County.

Those refugees who had just wandered over from all directions didn't know what was going to happen, but they all followed Deng Mao's army to gather at the north of Wuji County.

On the other hand, on the city wall, when they heard the horn of the Huang Jin Army, the soldiers who had also been exposed to the sun for an entire afternoon on the city wall climbed up and looked outside the city.

"Everyone on the city wall, listen to me!"

Deng Mao pointed at the city wall with the large saber in his hand and said: "I limit you to open the city gate before dark."

"Otherwise, as long as I break the city gate, I will wipe out your entire family."

"I will cut off the heads of your nine generations one by one!"

"Don't doubt whether I have this ability; the Youzhou Inspector Guo Xun was killed by me!"

"If you don't open the gate before sunset, I will break in!"

Deng Mao's shouting spread across the north city wall.

The soldiers on the city wall were filled with fear after hearing this.

Zhen Jian was also full of tension.

"Brother, can they... can they break in?" Zhen You, who was holding a sword, followed behind Zhen Jian and asked.

Zhen Jian shook his head: "They can't break in, but if the elite of the thieves come, it's hard to say."

The sword in Zhen You's hand trembled slightly.

Deng Mao was still cursing outside the city.

"Brother, Brother!"

"Brother, Fourth Brother!"

Zhen Ren's voice rang out from behind the two.

Zhen Jian and Zhen You both looked at Zhen Ren, who was panting as he climbed onto the city wall from the stairs.

"I told you to guard the manor, why did you come?" Zhen Jian asked with a frown.

A trace of joy appeared on Zhen Ren's face as he said: "Brother, good news, good news."

"Someone just sent news from the south gate, saying they saw the banner of the Liangzhou Governor and Former General Duan Yu."

"The Liangzhou cavalry has arrived!"

"Ah?"

Zhen Jian's eyes widened immediately.

Liangzhou Governor, Former General, Duan Yu!

Isn't that the tiger general of the age, Duan Yu!

Duan Yu, who has never been defeated since he debuted!

Who in the world doesn't know how fierce the Liangzhou Army under Duan Yu is now.

If the commandery troops of Li Zhao in Jizhou at this time were a medicine to prolong life.

Then the Liangzhou Army under Duan Yu was a fierce medicine to save life.

And it was the kind that was incredibly fierce.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Follow me to the south gate; I want to personally welcome the Liangzhou troops." Zhen Jian excitedly rushed down from the city wall.
