I’m The King Chapter 603: : Unyielding

Guo Quan was very scared, Guo Quan was terrified. The messenger Sun Xiao sent back secretly reported to him that the Donghu cavalry had appeared and intercepted the 5,000 infantry who were attacking. It was very likely that they would attack Dayan Lake next, but Sun Xiao could not send a single soldier back to rescue.

When he heard the news, Guo Quan almost fainted. He used to be just a slave, but things turned around. One of the top executives of Zhengdong Mansion, but fundamentally speaking, he is just an ordinary person who is good at construction.

But now, the life and death of tens of thousands of people in Dayan Lake are actually in his hands, and he has a feeling that he wants to die immediately. Seeing the terrifying expression on Guo Quan's face, the messenger couldn't help but remind him, "My lord, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the highest-ranking official here in Zhengdong Mansion."

The courier was born in the army, a character who crawled out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood. To him, death is just a matter of losing his head and scars. Being able to drag a few enemies to his back before he died, he naturally couldn't understand Guo Quan's timidity at this time, and even faint contempt and dissatisfaction floated in his heart.

"I'm not afraid of death!" Guo Quan is naturally not stupid, he heard the meaning of the messenger's words, "I am very old, and I have almost died several times before, I am afraid that I can't afford it Responsibility."

At this moment, they were standing on a section of the city wall under construction about 100 meters long. Under the city wall, there were densely packed people working. Pointing at these folk husbands, Guo Quan tremblingly said: "But I, I can't afford to put the life and death of these people on my shoulders."

"My lord, at this moment, you are not here to take care of it. Who else will take care of it?" The messenger's eyes were burning, "For the governor, for the conquest of the Eastern Army. Even if cut to death, I will fight hard. The rabbit is in a hurry They still kick eagles, and dogs jump over walls when they are in a hurry! We have tens of thousands of people here, and we are afraid that barbarians will fail!"

After listening to the messenger's words, Guo Quan's heart seemed to be on fire. This fire started from the bottom of his heart and gradually rushed to his head, his face was flushed, yes. As a mere slave, I can have the high-ranking officials and lords of today. If it is not the governor, not the Eastern Army, will I have my own today?

"Okay, well said, then today we will put our lives to death, come here!" Guo Quan shouted loudly. A subordinate officer strode up to him, "Go, call these people. Come to my tent to discuss the matter immediately." Guo Quan spit out a series of names, and among these people, there were officers above the guard who stayed behind. . There is also a young man who participated in the battle of Jishi City last year, and now he is the leader of the people.

After a stick of incense, when these people gathered in Guo Quan's big tent, everyone couldn't help being awe-inspiring. Dozens of people squeezed into the big tent, but there was no sound. Dahongpao official uniform, sitting in the upright position.

Among these leaders, most of them are old people who followed Guo Quan to build Jishi City. They knew very well that Guo Quan cherished this big red robe very much. Except when going to the governor's mansion to discuss matters, he never wears it on his body. And once it is worn on the body, it means that something very important has happened.

Sure enough, when Guo Quan opened his mouth, everyone was stunned.

"Everyone, the Donghu people are calling. They have a cavalry force of up to 5,000 people trying to attack our Dayan City. They met Commander Sun on the way. Now General Sun is trying to stop the enemy, but the enemy It is cavalry, and it is very likely that we will divide our troops to attack our Dayan City, so we must make all preparations. Prepare to fight **** battles with the enemy!"'

Guo Quan glanced at the people in the tent. Some people were excited, some were bewildered, some were terrified, all kinds of life, in an instant, gathered on the faces of dozens of people.

"Big Wild Goose City is lonely and hanging on the grassland, there is no place to hide, we have no place to run, everyone, if we run, we will die faster." Guo Quan blocked some people's thoughts. , "We have tens of thousands of civilians here, and there are mountains of weapons, are we going to be lambs waiting to be slaughtered, or man-eating beasts?"

He suddenly raised his voice, and asked loudly: "Will you die with the enemy facing you, or with your back facing the enemy? Do you have a choice in your mind?"

Guo Quan is a skinny, dry little old man. In the eyes of everyone, he is just an old man next door. Thinking of him, in the eyes of everyone, they felt that he was incomparably tall at this moment.

"Fight to the death, fight to the death!" All the people in the tent suddenly had a high fighting spirit.

"We have tens of thousands of people, and they only have a few thousand people, and even one mouthful of spit will drown them."

"One person with one knife will also tie them into a sieve!"

"Okay!" Guo Quan beamed with joy, "Lieutenant Tang, open the logistics camp you guard, and distribute all the weapons inside to the civilians."

"The last general obeys." A general Huo Di stood up. He was the company commander of a company that Sun Xiao left behind in Dayan Lake. He had more than two hundred soldiers under him. His task was to guard the ordnance, food and grass here.

"The leaders of the ministries, after returning, organize the miners of the headquarters, and use the team as a unit to gather at the city."

"Follow me!"

The dense crowd of people in the big tent disappeared in an instant.

After half a day, tens of thousands of civilians got their weapons in their hands, and began to gather under the one hundred meter city wall one by one, and on the city wall, dozens of bed crossbows had been installed in place. Commanding the soldiers under his command to twist the bed crossbows one by one to shoot arrows, and under the city wall, groups of young and strong have gathered together.

The young and strong men who participated in the battle of Jishi City stood at the outermost edge, followed by other young and strong men, and those closest to this section of the city wall were women, children and the elderly. Of course, these people cannot be idle, they have to be responsible The crossbow is wound up.

Standing on the city wall, Guo Quan sighed in his heart as he looked at the crooked and almost shapeless ranks of civilians below the city wall. You know, how can the gap between civilians and the army be bridged with blood? I don't know how many people will survive after this battle.

"Guo Shangshu!" Tang Feng came over and bowed to Guo Quan, "All the bed crossbows have been trained, and those who can shoot the bed crossbows among the civilian husbands are also in place, and they will go down at the end."

"Commander Tang, you are the only officer here. You should stay in the city to command. I have no hope of commanding the battle." Guo Quan looked at the other side and said.

Tang Feng smiled wryly, "Guo Shangshu, today's battle does not need to be commanded, nor can it be commanded. Everyone just needs to be determined to die, swing the knife in your hand at the enemy in front of you, stab the gun in your hand, and shoot the gun in your hand." It is enough. I and the two hundred men under my command are the only regular army here. It is our duty to protect the people under our rule. Therefore, we will stand in the front. Until we die, The enemy can rush in front of you."

"Add me!" The messenger who came to report drew out the knife in his hand and stood beside Tang He: "I am also a soldier!"

Looking at the decisive two, Guo Quan's eyes suddenly became sore, "I have a son like you in the Eastern Army, and I will definitely be able to defeat all powerful enemies. Okay, okay, I will cheer for you."

Tang Feng and the messenger bowed to Guo Quan: "Guo Shangshu, I leave everything to you."

The two turned around and left resolutely. A moment later, two hundred soldiers from the East Conquest Army came out in an array and walked a hundred meters in front of all the civilians. They stood in an array, standing still.

There was a burst of noise from the civilians behind them, and then slowly quieted down. Tens of thousands of people did not make a sound, but stared at the backs of these soldiers standing in front of them.

"Kill the enemy, kill the enemy!" Someone raised the big knife in his hand and yelled loudly.

"Kill the enemy, kill the enemy!" Shouts gradually rose up, and slowly gathered into a chorus of jeers, heading straight towards Yunxiao.

Above the city wall, Guo Quan was affected by the ridicule, and he looked up to the sky with a long smile, "I want to see how these Donghu people will feel when they see such a scene here! Fight to the death, kill the enemy!"

"Guo Shangshu!" An official ran to Guo Quan with a knife in his hand, "Some civilians dare not fight, and even fled without permission."

Guo Quan's face changed, "How many people?"

"There are about two thousand people!"

"Fleeing without a fight is unbearable!" Guo Quan said coldly: "Write down their names, and after this battle is over, remove them from my Zhengdong Mansion and expel them. I want those who dare not, Those who are unwilling to fight for Zhengdong Mansion have no place to stand under the Zhengdong Mansion's rule."

"Yes!" The subordinate officer said awe-inspiringly.

The ground gradually trembled, a black line suddenly appeared on the horizon, and the smoke and dust gradually rose, slowly covering the sky and the sun, and the Donghu cavalry appeared in everyone's sight.

"Here we come ~IndoMTL.com~ we come!" Panic shouts rang out from the city, and many people began to fight with both arms. , was suppressed a little bit. Some even started to cry.

Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

On the city wall, heavy war drums sounded, and Guo Quan's thin figure stood tall, vigorously waving the drumstick in his hand, and vigorously knocked on the cowhide drum in front of him.

"Fight to the death, fight to the death!" he hissed.

The sound of drums and shouts gradually dispelled the fear, and the hunched backs of each of them began to straighten, especially when they saw the two hundred soldiers standing in the front, holding spears and shouting neatly When the son walked resolutely towards the overwhelming enemy cavalry, everyone felt a rush of blood rushing to their heads. His eyes began to blur, and the only image left was the navy blue military uniform and the bright red Zhengdong Mansion flag flying.

Forward! go ahead!

Fight to the death! Fight to the death! (to be continued)
