She Is Not a Witch Chapter 66: Fire dyed the night sky


From the distant sky, there was a sky-high flame, but there were still not many people on the streets in Luojing City, and more soldiers were patrolling with torches.

When the army was attacking the city, a strict curfew system was implemented in the city, just to fear that someone would take advantage of the chaos to do evil and cause large-scale chaos.

After the new king gave the order, the defenders in the city took action, which made the streets noisy.

When the watchman with the gong beat the gong to tell the time, he also shouted the current recruitment policy, promised a lot of money, if someone wanted to stand out and shouted immediately, patrolling soldiers would come to confirm their identity and strength, and then The signatures were taken away with the army. After arriving at the camp, people naturally came to organize them and distribute weapons and simple armor.

At this moment, in front of the Yefu mansion, apart from the occasional noise from a distance, it is rather quiet here. The red-scaled halberd guards stood neatly holding torches, just as the impatient general was about to let people When the door was broken, someone finally came out.

"Squeak—" After the door was pushed open, an old man walked out with his family and servants, and faced the general outside the door.

"My lord, this old man is the steward of the mansion. I don't know why he came here late at night." Although the people in the Ye mansion roughly guessed the purpose of these people's visit, they still asked cautiously.

"Hmph, so procrastinating." Surrounded by his personal guards, the general stepped forward, then took out the imperial decree written by Huang Juan in his hand, and began to read it out. Out of Ding defends the city, and lists the minimum number of people that must be out of each family.

"Your Majesty wants to recruit a thousand people? This is... How can there be such a number of family guards in Yefu today." The housekeeper said in embarrassment while holding his sweaty forehead.

They expected to send about 400-500 people before, and if they sent 1,000 people, it would be a waste of money for the family.

"If you don't have enough, you can use your clansmen. Now that the enemy is at hand, the Ye family should also contribute." The general said nonchalantly. Tibetan staff, don't look at each one of them as honest and low-key, but if you really want to take them out, you will definitely surprise others.

As the saying goes, you have a thousand plans, I have a wall ladder, and the thoughts and plans discussed by everyone in the Ye family have long been expected by the ministers of the court.

As a result, the butler couldn't be the master, so Zhi had to ask someone to quickly notify the Patriarch in the backyard and the upper echelons of the Yefu.

Looking at the fast running of the servants who sent the message, this general looked contemptuously, snorted coldly, and didn't bother, but asked someone to put a half-person-high incense cauldron in front of the mansion. There is freshly lit incense sticking in the incense cauldron, if the incense is burned and the Ye Mansion is not ready yet, it will be asked about its sins.

Judging from the burning speed of the incense, it is estimated that it will burn out within five minutes. It can be said that the time is quite tight. After all, there is a **** battle at the north wall, and the temporary recruitment of these red-scaled halberd guards is also facing a lot of pressure. There will be a lot of pressure, and the number of people will not be enough at that time, but they will go to the top in person. This cannot be solved with bribes, it will have to be desperate.

"My lord, the Patriarch of the Ye family is here." Just as the general turned his back, looked at the flames in the distant sky, and speculated about the battle situation there, a personal guard came to him and whispered in his ear.

"Oh." As he spoke, the tall general turned around and looked at the courtyard of the Ye Mansion. A handsome man in his twenties and thirties led a large group of people in black shirts towards the mansion. Door.

"Xia Yezhen is the head of the current Yefu Patriarch, and my lord is the general of the Red Scaled Army." He behaved decently and politely, stepped forward to speak without humility.

"Exactly." Although he didn't like people from these aristocratic families a little bit, but at this moment, this general didn't talk nonsense and made things difficult, and went directly to the topic.

"Now how many people have you mobilized, follow up immediately, don't worry about weapons and armor, Luo Jingnei's arsenal is fully equipped, and there are all kinds of firearms that are easy to operate."

"Your Majesty has asked someone to notify the various houses in the mansion. The personnel will be summoned soon. Please wait for the general, but..."

"Just what?" The general raised his brows, seemingly unhappy.

"It's just that my Ye Mansion also needs to leave a small number of people to guard it, otherwise it's really hard for orphans and widows." Ye Zhen said simply.

"Heh, I'm orphaned and widowed now, claiming to be weak." He looked at the head of the Ye family coldly. Normally, he wouldn't dare to offend such a powerful family, but today is different. How, don't they dare to rebel on the spot?

Seeing that the scene was about to reach a stalemate, an old man in the Yefu walked out and came before the fire.

"Please calm down, my lord. We all know that the situation tonight is extremely urgent, and we have no intention of appeasing ourselves. It's just that the population of Yefu is dying, and it is not as prosperous as other aristocratic families..." he said Then, the servants behind them brought up several large boxes, and then put them on the ground with a bang, making a heavy echo.

Listening to the crisp echoes of collisions inside the box, the sergeants present changed a little, and then the box was opened, revealing that it was full of golden light, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

In these two boxes, all the gorse and panlong dishes made by the dynasty are piled up. They look like miniature bowls, and there are delicate and beautiful swimming panlongs engraved slowly like life. Now they emit a charming light under the firelight. Halo, and the breath of the dragon veins coming from it is also exceptionally pure, it is an authentic work of the dynasty, not a counterfeit product from some remote place.

In such a big box, there may be as many as 100,000 gold dishes piled up, which is about one billion copper coins, which is a huge amount of money that the people present will not be able to earn in several lifetimes.

"We also know the righteousness, but the family members are withering, and we can't make up the number of people. We can only make up for it with cheap and despicable money, so that the adults can use it to recruit more talents and bravery, so as to enrich the defense of the city. I hope you will forgive me." The old man's voice was earnest and compassionate, tears streaming down his face, and his words also brought many people behind him to tears.

Although this general knew that these must have elements of acting, but he couldn't move his eyes away as he looked at the golden dishes all over the side.

Everyone has desires, even he is the same, why joining the army is just to seek a future, I come from a poor family, even if I am promoted to a general, the income is quite rich, but it is distributed to many juniors who need to be supported In the end, there was not much left, and now facing the huge amount of wealth that he would never be able to obtain in his lifetime, even this general with strict discipline could not help but breathe heavily.

He closed his eyes a little bit, took a deep breath, then opened them, looked at the soldiers behind him and at the side, and saw that their eyes were about to burst into flames, and he knew that if he didn't accept it today, I'm afraid Don't even think about sitting in this position in the future.

Besides, the big battle is about to be faced, and it is the time to employ people. If mutiny and complaints and hatred in the camp are triggered at this time, there may be big problems on the battlefield.

Blocking people's money is like killing their parents. Although this is indeed vulgar, sometimes it is very close to the truth. Everyone wants to live a good life, and live a better and more comfortable life. Then, why can't the lucky person today? It's me.

Thousands of thoughts swirled in his mind, and this general convinced himself in an instant.

He looked at the soldiers beside him, "You guys, go and count."

"Since Yefu understands righteousness so well, we have to think it over carefully..." Seeing this general agree, the sergeants behind him were also overjoyed. Dividing it into ten gold dishes is also a huge sum of money.

Time passed by in a hurry, and when the two incense sticks were burned, this team of recruited people finally left the gate of Yefu, and there were more than 300 servants and nurses in Yefu who followed them, but these people The strength is very average, and it looks like selected cannon fodder.

Seeing the general leaving with a long team, everyone in the Yefu finally heaved a sigh of relief, but many people immediately felt heartbroken. After all, the money was a huge blow to the Yefu. .

"Don't be distressed, saving your life is the most important thing, alas..." The old man in the mansion comforted everyone, and then ordered his servants to close the door again, and the internal preparations continued for the future transfer.

In Luojing, there are also aristocratic families like Heyefu who are willing to spend huge sums of money to protect their clansmen, but more aristocratic families still want to rely on their connections in the court or army in the past to escape such responsibilities, or say There was not enough manpower in the mansion, and they either forced the superiors of the red-scaled halberd guards to come forward to open the door, or stubbornly delayed, most of them were not very cooperative.

Seeing the flames of war on the north wall gradually spreading into the city, and the dragonriders from both sides fighting and killing each other could be seen in the night sky of Luojing, the red-scaled halberd guards who were in charge of recruiting finally couldn't bear to become ruthless.

Some aristocratic families who were obsessed with nonsense and refused to contribute were directly smashed open the gate, and then all the red-scaled halberd guards entered the mansion, directly recruited the people in the mansion, cleaned up the property in the house, smashed it, and if there is still resistance, Even directly killed on the spot.

Although these aristocratic families have extensive contacts on weekdays, they are no match for the elite regular army of the dynasty after all. Only then woke up in a hurry, knowing the severity of it, and gradually cooperated.

As a result, the operation gradually went smoothly. In just a few hours, more than 100,000 newly recruited combatants, led by veteran defenders in the city, began to equip weapons and went to various intersections under the north wall to continuously reinforce them. For defense, temporarily set up arrow towers, tall buildings and other places.

Although these newly recruited personnel have extremely poor fighting will and it is difficult for them to withstand the pressure as the backbone, they can still barely do such things as auxiliary personnel, setting up defense lines, occupying key points and shooting long distances with firearms. If it really fails, these people can also be used as cannon fodder to slow down the enemy's attack speed and buy time for subsequent reinforcements and replenishment lines.

At this moment, Luo Jing's north wall.

Overlooking from the high night sky, the whole Luojing looks like a huge square. The wide and neat streets divide the buildings in the city into faint grids, and in the middle of the city, there is a towering palace wall. , the resplendent inner city of the imperial palace, with tall towers and watchtowers at the four corners, overlooking the four directions.

In the middle of the night, some lights appeared faintly on the originally pitch-black land, converging on the square of Zhongmo Lake.

But now, the northerly area is much brighter than other regions, and from time to time, extremely delicate flames bloom in it, dispersing and illuminating the night. The sound spread into the distant night sky.

Zhuo Fengtong rode on the back of the black and blue giant dragon, overlooking the huge city shrouded in flames of war and slaughter below, the flames below were reflected in the black eyes, shaking and bright.

Looking at the line of defense that was gradually breaking through at the gap in the city wall, the general who commanded the Beifu Army raised high the gilt phoenix wings in his hand and waved it down in the cold night sky.

"Kill—" the voice was short and powerful.

Subsequently, the black and blue dragons flapped their wings and swooped down from the sky with the sound of roaring.

Below, the two sides who were fighting fiercely could only hear the thrilling roar of the dragon above their heads, followed by a burst of violent high-altitude air-conditioning blowing past. , the originally burning flames and rising blue smoke were also shrunk in this cold air flow, depressing the part.

The Golden Armored Dragon Army, who was in a fierce battle with the Beifu army, didn't know what happened, but saw the cold breath sweeping towards him, and then turned into stiff ice one by one, fell down in the cold wind, and turned into broken pieces pieces.

Relying on these northern cold iron dragon cavalry that suddenly descended to open the way, the pressure on the Beifu army that invaded the city was relieved. A small area under the gap.

These elite sergeants in silver-scale armor and snow-white cloak held strong shields and long knives, and rushed to each intersection quickly, breaking through the defense lines of some unprepared defenders. They were also forced to fight melee in the chaos and became embarrassed.

As the Golden Armored Dragon Army stationed in Luojing, it has always been the confidant of the emperor and has the most advanced and excellent firearms in the dynasty. It is a pity that they can only be used to defend the city and fight in the streets, which greatly limits many powerful forces. Application of firearms.

"Damn it, don't care!"

During the chaotic battle, a lieutenant of the Dragon Army watched the soldiers around him being cut down one by one, while those Beifu troops with silver scales and white armor rushed forward layer by layer, showing their will to die and resignation. Hurt and hurt, he kicked away the soldiers of the Beifu army in front of him, blocked the long knife cut in the air with his right arm, and then took a few steps forward to the place where the firearms were piled up on the side of the intersection.

A few seconds later~IndoMTL.com~A burst of dazzling flashes bloomed, and the flames rushed to the surrounding alleys and streets, and smoke of Mars rose tens of meters high in the night sky. Spread the word.

Under such an explosion, not only the attacking Beifu army and the city guards, but also dozens of closed-door households in the surrounding area were turned into a sea of ​​flames and ruins, and there was endless wailing.

After the loud noise, as if a signal had been sent, all kinds of violent noises and dazzling flames began to resound from the front line of the battle in the city.

Facing the tremendous pressure of the attack, the Golden Armored Dragon Army in the city did not care about harming the innocent with their firearms. All kinds of rocket vans that looked like honeycombs were ignited, and thousands of dazzling arrows disappeared with a sharp look. The howling sound broke through the atmosphere, leaving a long trail of afterimages in the night sky, and then exploded with a bang.

Some of these explosive arrows landed on the attacking soldiers of the Beifu army, and some rushed into the homes of ordinary people. Luo Jing was painted with a layer of compassion.

The rise and fall of dynasties, the change of world events, are always full of tears.
