Chapter 038 Enemy

Lin Zimo, who sits in his government office, works as usual. He suddenly heard that the noise outside the door was getting louder and louder, so he got up and walked out of the government office to see what was going on. Wang Pengfei, who was sweating profusely, ran in from outside the yard and told him that there were a large number of rebels outside Pingnan County. The two gates in the north and south have been closed, and Zhao Wenxuan has led his soldiers to the head of the city first.

"Why don't you gather your team and prepare to go to the city to meet the enemy. I'm going to gather the brave team." Lin Zimo, who knew the seriousness of the matter, told him, "You and I will do it separately and see you in the city."

Wang Pengfei took the order and hurriedly turned around and went to hurry, while Lin Zimo rushed out of the county government and went to the "school" in the city to gather the team. I didn't expect that the enemy would come so fast. The three have only been formulating a defense strategy for Pingnan County for a few days, and they have not had time to practice, and the rebels have already joined the city.

Because the rebels came so fast, the people who heard the news spread the news everywhere like headless flies. Lin Zimo, who rushed to the "school" was sweating profusely. The most gratifying thing for him is that his ten brave leaders have used the right people. Ten people have gathered their teams and are waiting for him to lead them to leave.

"The enemy has arrived, and what awaits you will be a fierce battle. Their arrival is a great opportunity for us to kill the enemy and make money. Lin Zimo, standing in front of them, said without saying nonsense, "Let's go."

Under his leadership, the 100-person volunteer team set out from the "school" in a very orderly manner. Due to Zhao Wenxuan's request for self-screening, some people who wanted to make up the number were kicked out by him in time. At present, the people who eat this bowl of rice in the brave team have long been prepared to kill the enemy.

Lin Zimo and Wang Pengfei led their own teams and rushed to the north and south gates of Pingnan County for the first time. Wang Pengfei's main responsibility is to guard the south gate, while Lin Zimo's main responsibility is to guard the north gate.

Zhao Wenxuan, who had already stood at the north gate, assigned all his troops here and attentively observed the movements of the rebels outside the city. Lin Zimo arrived in time, making the scene of thin defense on the wall look good in an instant. He saw that not far from outside the city, a team of three or five hundred people had been lined up and set out to attack at any time. He believed in their arrival, and certainly did not let him review the team, but wanted to loot the property in the city.

"It seems that our number should be comparable to theirs." Lin Zimo's heart was a little comforting.

Zhao Wenxuan said cautiously, "At present, it looks like this."

"I don't know that there is an invincible person on Wang Pengfei's side?" Lin Zimo, standing next to him, also observed the movement outside the city.

After he finished speaking, there was no time for a cup of tea. Wang Pengfei had sent Chu Dalang to report the situation on his side. Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan learned that he had not found the enemy, so they were slightly relieved. After all, the number of people attacking the city must be three to five times higher than the number of defenders to have the possibility of winning. At present, the number of enemy soldiers outside the city is about the same as them, so it has given them great courage to stick to it.

"Go and tell Wang Pengfei, don't be careless." Lin Zimo told Chu Dalang, who came to report the news, "Remember that if there is no order from Zhao Wenxuan and me, he is not allowed to bring people to reinforce without permission."

Chu Dalang, who was holding his fists, replied loudly, "I remember. Let's go back and tell the king that the catcher knows your order.

After Lin Zimo said 'go quickly', he turned around and ran away. He thought that if he only led a team of three or 500 people, he would not dare to attack a city comparable to him. They definitely didn't come here to visit the light. They must have an intention, otherwise they wouldn't have set up an attack queue.

Afield not far away is the dust suddenly rising. The rebels outside the North Gate of Pingnan County began to take action, causing the people on the wall to show their weapons to prepare for the battle. Lin Zimo, who began to be nervous, guessed whether there was something wrong with the enemy's commander's mind. As a result, in addition to increasing unnecessary casualties, the city can't be taken down at all. After all, the number of people attacking the city is limited, and there is no such siege weapon.

Lin Zimo saw that the enemy running in front of him were soldiers fighting against the ladder on their shoulders. When they entered within 30 steps, Zhao Wenxuan had already ordered the archers to release arrows and fire. Some unlucky enemy soldiers quickly fell one after another, but it did not affect their determination to attack the city at all, but slowed down the speed of their attack.

Because there is neither a moat nor a tall wall outside Pingnan County, the long ladder in the hands of the enemy still has a certain role and effect as a siege weapon. In a short time, they set up a ladder to attack the city, and some people began to climb the city, and Lin Zimo and others on the wall "humbled" them with the big stones, rolling oil, giant trees... which had been prepared for a long time. The scream of the enemy in the city became the main note of the whole picture. One or two enemies who climbed up the top of the city were soon killed by the crowd on the spot.

Attacking the frustrated enemy quickly retreated. No one was injured on this side of Lin Zimo, but the enemy's body was left with 30 or 40. For this small victory, Zhao Wenxuan's sergeant was commonplace, and his expression was more calm, and the volunteers who tasted the victory for the first time were cheered.

Lin Zimo put the dagger in his hand back into his boots, feeling that the effect of motivating morale this time was far greater than the results of the war. At the same time, he noticed that the enemies outside the city showed no sign of retreat, but were reorganized, as if they were preparing to attack again. I can't understand what they have done. After all, they don't want to die like this.

"This is not the lice on the monk's head. It is obvious that it can't attack our Pingnan County." Lin Zimo asked Zhao Wenxuan next to him, "They are not really a group of brainless idiots, are they?"

Looking at the left and right, Zhao Wenxuan lowered his voice and said, "If I guess correctly, the enemy outside the city is just the leading force of a rebel, and their large army should be rushing here. As for their previous attack, it should be a tentative attack.

"We still have to send people out to find reinforcements." Lin Zimo suddenly realized, "I have to find a way to deal with or delay, otherwise I can only sit back and wait to death."

"This is natural. I will arrange the rest." After saying that, Zhao Wenxuan sent a man to fall from the south of Pingnan County with a rope in three different time periods to find reinforcements.

Time is lost minute by minute, and Lin Zimo noticed that the rebels outside the city have never carried out a second attack. He believed that Zhao Wenxuan's judgment was accurate, and they should be waiting for the support of the follow-up troops. Without reinforcements, I believe that they will not do this kind of warfare that neither attack nor retreats. After all, the longer they stay here, the more they have undoubtedly increased the danger of being wiped out by the officers and soldiers.

"I don't think they will attack for a while." Zhao Wenxuan, who turned his head, didn't expect Zhang Chi to do anything, as long as he didn't drag the big guy back, so he looked at Lin Zi and said silently, "I'm here. You should take a look at the situation in the county government and the city. I always believe that no matter how strong the city is, it is easy to be broken from the inside.

Lin Zimo knew that he did not trust Zhang Chi, so he personally took a team of volunteers to the city to check. At this time, Zhang Chi had already received the news that there were a large number of rebels outside the city, and the senders were looking for Lin Zimo everywhere. He is a person who has run once, and the consequence of running again is that he will never come again. However, Zhang Chi wanted to figure out the specific situation before making a decision. After all, he understood that there was no real meaning when a person died.

Lin Zimo, who met Zhang Chi's housekeeper, followed him to the county government. At this time, Zhang Chi was still the county magistrate of the county, so he had to give some face. If Zhang Chi was really going to mess up, Lin Zimo would have been ready to kill him. After all, it would be better to kill him than thousands of people.

Lin Zimo, who walked into the back hall of the government, saw Zhang Chi's family busy preparing things one after another. He felt that this group of people really responded to the old saying: the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked. Before stepping into the living room, he gave Chu Erlang a wince to make him pay attention to his surroundings. He understood the handle of the knife and ordered his men to be vigilant.

In this extraordinary period, Lin Zimo always has a lot of preparation. There is a deep conflict between himself and Zhang Chi, so beware of him jumping over the wall. When he entered the living room, he saw that Zhang Chi was already an ant on the hot pot and was anxious.

"Lin Xiandi, what's the situation outside the city?" Zhang Chi asked eagerly.

Lin Zimo, who sat down rudely, told the truth: "There are about three or five hundred enemies outside the city, and we have repelled their attack, and there is no casualties."

Zhang Chi, who was a little relieved, sat down and said, "You see, can we in Pingnan County keep it?"

Lin Zimo's heart was full of contempt for him: "If you can't keep it, you have to keep it."

Zhang Chi, who didn't speak, once again came to life in his mind and calculated his life and future. It is not so difficult for him to escape again. The only thing that makes him feel uneconomic is to turn the money he has seized over the years into the cost of buying Shangguan. The purpose of Zhang Chi's corruption is to make himself addicted to money, not to make others rich. Last time, I had spent money like water, and I was heartbroken. If he does it again, he will feel his heart bleeding.
