Chapter 1986 Retreat
There was a pit on the side of the city wall, which had collapsed due to years of disrepair, but it was now perfectly usable. Tu Shanfang grabbed two axes and chopped at the hanging rope of the hanging bell:
"Everyone come and cut the ropes, quickly!"
The seven or eight guards around received the order and rushed over to cut the rope without caring about the enemy.
But this rope was made of the strongest noose, and its hardness was comparable to that of a thousand-year-old wood, and it would take a while for it to be cut.
The situation below the city gate was critical, and the guards were holding on to the small gate of the city wall tightly. The enemy and us were wrestling in this small space. The only good news was that the city wall was too crowded, and the giant beasts could not get in or move freely.
But something seemed to be attacking quietly in the crowd, and the speed was very fast, and the guards in the front row fell one after another.
Although many people have tried to do so, this is not a solution.
Although the defenders of the city fought bravely, they were no match for the strong opponent. The enemy rushed in like a tide and forced them to retreat step by step.
In a blink of an eye, hundreds of enemy soldiers and dozens of monsters rushed into the city, killing anyone they saw and rushing to the city office. The city defenders only had the spare energy to send two teams to chase them, and the rest had to block the city.
The situation is critical and the city is about to fall.
Tu Shanfang on the top of the city wall was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He used a torch to light the rope and chopped it while burning it.
Fortunately, the wind was particularly strong tonight, and the flame on the rope burned very vigorously. Everyone worked hard, and had to deal with the bandits who rushed over, but they finally cut the thick rope.
The huge bell fell to the wall corridor with a clang, shaking the entire wall, and then rolled towards the battlements along the depression in the ground.
Tu Shanfang didn't care about the enemies rushing towards him, and rushed forward with all his strength, denting an inconspicuous square brick on the battlement.
Then the whole battlement sank.
This is a small design added when the city wall was reinforced, intended to add a stone barrier to the gate of the city.
Tu Shanfang even had time to lie on the edge and yell at the people below:
"Everyone down there, get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
The obstacle disappeared, and the huge bell rolled down from the gap.
There was a loud bang, and it hit the gate of the city wall accurately and turned back and forth several times.
Those who didn't have time to dodge were crushed into a bloody mess.
Finally, the huge bell stopped outside the small gate of the city wall. It was not blocked tightly, and there was a gap of more than three feet. But the defenders of Miancheng had already cheered.
The difficulty for the enemy to attack the city was further magnified.
This giant bell was cast without cutting corners. It is virtually invulnerable to swords and guns. Its thick waist makes it impossible for anyone to penetrate it and attack the city defenders at the rear.
Everyone quickly pushed over a few large carts, overturned them to block the gap, and then filled it with sandbags.
Tu Shanfang took the time to look to the west.
The night was quiet but there were explosions everywhere. The black-armored soldiers not far away should have heard it, right?
Yes, he also knew that the Black Armored Army was lurking nearby, waiting for an opportunity to strike. In this battle tonight, as long as Miancheng survived the first few waves of attack, reinforcements would surely arrive!
However, the enemy's previous fierce attack also brought in many bandits, who started to cause chaos as soon as they entered the city. Some went straight to the government offices, some burned the granaries, and some simply robbed and killed the people nearby, doing whatever they wanted.
The pressure on the city defenders was too great because of the attack from both inside and outside. The adjutant said to Tu Shanfang: "We can't bear it any longer."
The city gate had only been temporarily unbroken.
Tu Shanfang jumped down from the wall, divided himself into several teams, and rushed into the city alleys to kill the enemy.
The county government office is very close to the city gate.
Fan Shuang climbed to the second floor of the county government office to watch the battle to defend the city, and was terrified.
He could even hear a loud bang and the city gate was smashed to pieces.
This sound was like a death knell.
Immediately afterwards, the enemy troops poured in from the city wall, including people and monsters.
Fan Shuang’s eyes went dark immediately: It’s over.
He escaped the disaster of killing in Yaodu, but he couldn't escape the disaster here! It turned out that if God wanted to kill him, he would take him anywhere.
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Fan were also in the government office, and they were worried along with their son.
Father Fan came running over and said, "How strange! County Magistrate Huang is missing!"
"I just saw him and Yu Xiancheng from Hao County leaving the government office." Fan Shuang knew something was wrong. "We need to quickly organize everyone to evacuate. Our Wang Xiancheng is still on the city wall directing the troops."
"Where to retreat?"
Where can more than 200,000 people in the city be evacuated to?
Perhaps County Magistrate Huang knows, but his whereabouts are unknown at the moment.
"The mine cave in the back mountain! It should be the mine cave in the back mountain." Fan Shuang had heard Tu Shanfang mention it several times. The mine tunnel leading to the back mountain can pass through the mountains and lead directly to Cihua County. It can be defended or walked.
Perhaps that was the escape route that Miancheng had planned.
"Okay, then hurry up."
The county government was in chaos. The Fan father and son climbed up to a high place and shouted, saying that it was Captain Tu who ordered the evacuation.
The two of them were already familiar faces in the mansion and were in charge of transporting supplies. The officials did not suspect anything and just followed their orders, arranging for the people to evacuate from the two city gates at the rear.
Not long after, two messengers came running from the front, ordering the troops to evacuate the city. However, when they entered the government office, they found it was empty.
Organizing the evacuation of more than 200,000 people was not an easy task. The government offices could not mobilize door to door, so they could only bang gongs along the streets to notify everyone to run immediately. They had to take the main roads so that they would be escorted by special personnel and less prone to congestion.
The road leading to the west city gate was suddenly crowded with people fleeing.
Like other officials, Fan Shuang and her father stood on the street corners, providing guidance and counseling.
There were frequent screams and fires in the distance, and Fan Shuang knew that it was the enemy troops entering the city and causing chaos.
It seems to be coming here.
Mrs. Wang came over from behind, worried: "You and your son should leave quickly, the pursuers are coming!"
Before he could finish his words, a monster that looked like a crocodile but had long limbs suddenly appeared from the darkness of the alley, bit an official and threw him away, then rushed towards Mrs. Wang.
Looking at that bloody mouth, if Mrs. Wang was bitten, she would at least lose half her life.
Mrs. Wang screamed subconsciously.
At the critical moment, a long knife came from behind and stabbed into the monster's eyes.
The monster howled miserably and stumbled away.
An army came running from the rear, led by Tu Shan Fang!
It was he who threw the flying knife.
Fan Shuang still remembered him saying that this skill of throwing accurately was learned from ambushing passing merchants in the past. But in the past, he threw flying stones and tripwires, but now he throws knives to save people.
"Brother Tu!" Everyone who saw him looked like a life-saving straw.
Tu Shanfang asked them, "Where is the Magistrate Huang?"
"No, I don't know. He never showed up."
"Then who will organize the people to evacuate?" It's very timely.
Fan Shuang stammered, "I, it's me. I used your name to publish it. Miancheng has practiced retreating several times, and the officials and the people all know what to do. I just shouted a few times."
"Good job!" Tu Shanfang patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go to the mine!"
"I know." Seeing Tu Shan turning around to leave, Fan Shuang quickly called him, "Brother Tu, when will the reinforcements arrive?"
"It's almost there, persistence is victory!" Tu Shanfang was extremely determined.
