Chapter 83: Before the war

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately received a strong reaction!
What life did they have before? What are you living now?
In the past, they were squeezed day by day. The reason why they did not resist was because they did not dare to resist, and because they knew that the lives of ordinary people in this world were not worth any money! Others have lived this way, and so have them.
But after Xie Linlang came, not only did he not squeeze them, but he also gave them various benefits and led them to make a fortune...
To be honest, her various acts of kindness were not what moved them the most. What moved them the most was that Xie Linlang always regarded them as human beings!
She is a noble person and a champion from Beijing. She could have stepped on their backs and forced them to be grateful, but she didn't.
She works like them, eats the same things, and treats them equally and respectfully.
She will come to them for weddings and funerals, and she will carefully consider them when they open a shop to mention words or name their children.
She is really respecting their lives, not like other nobles, treating them as stubborn grass.
How valuable is the personality of such a person? How lucky are they to meet her?
In the crowd, Master Zhang took his wife forward and said.
"Difficulties in Xiangcheng are everyone's business! The old man will stay no matter what other people's attitudes and psychology are, but the old man will definitely stay! Apart from the pen in this life, the old man has not taken anything else, and I want to try this sharp knife. weight!"
After he finished speaking, the butcher who specializes in killing dogs in the city also stood up, and saw him carrying two knives, looking around the people.
"I, Wang Han, have never seen a water bandit in my life! I want to see if they are aggressive!"
Many young people were also excited and excited, "The enemy of Master Xie is our enemy! Our Xiangcheng is prosperous and all we lose! We pledge to live and die with the adults!"
Xie Linlang's horse gradually surrounded a lot of people, blocking her up.
The blacksmith who strikes said, "I can provide more than a hundred knives for free! I can also fight, I am strong!"
The groom who raised the horse said, "I can take my horse to transport the boulder, and I will never let those guys have a chance to get on the wall!"
Even the woman said, "We can cook, the city is full of food, and those water bandits are in the water. How can we be used up?"
"And me! I'm the martial artist's husband, I can hit ten each!"
Xie Linlang was stunned. The horse she was sitting on was forced to retreat by the enthusiasm of the crowd. She herself was surprised for a while before returning to her senses, and then she couldn't laugh or cry.
In fact, she arranged for people to retreat, mainly considering that the other party returned a late move, and there was no need to increase casualties.
And if the city becomes empty, she can still catch turtles in an urn if those people come in.
But these are all later things. If the people in the city can come to help with the enemy, then this battle will not be fought like this! She can have better arrangements!
Thinking about this, she smiled again and said loudly.
"Okay! In that case, we will transfer all the old, weak, women and children out of shelter! Other people, stay here with me! Those water bandits can't enter the city. Once they enter the city, no one will stay! All strangling!"
"--Kill!!" everyone shouted!
With their support, Xie Linlang also felt as if endless power burst out of her body!
Besides, the water bandits are out of this time, right?
If you really want to doze off, come to the pillow, since they are looking for death, then she will take them out of the pot! In this way, she will deliver goods by water in the future, and it will be unimpeded.
Faced with the shouts of everyone, Huang Lao and others behind Xie Linlang were stunned.
Although he knew that Xie Linlang was so popular among the people in Xiangcheng, he didn't expect her to be so popular among the people!
Huang Lao, who has always been in a high position, didn't understand, but the Confucian scholar who stood in the dark and witnessed this scene understood very well.
The scholar died for her confidant, Xie Linlang took the lives of these people, and they were willing to take the lead for her. Sometimes people are complicated, but sometimes they are simple. If you really want to generalize, it is just four words— Only sincere.
Seeing Xie Linlang's order, everyone started to take action. About 10,000 young people were left behind, and some young people needed to protect the old and weak women and children from entering the mountain, so they didn't stay.
With more than 10,000 people, Xie Linlang sent them to work overtime to repair the city wall, and the rest to make other preparations, concoct weapons and so on.
In this way, coupled with Qin Jue's people, they should be foolproof.
...
The content of the workshop is no less than so many people, they are preparing on the square in the city, and the water bandits on the other side are also pressing hard, day by day, and war will break out at any time!
Unexpectedly, at this time, an emergency report came from the North City Gate. Xie Linlang was debugging the trebuchet on the square, so he listened to the panic report from the officers and soldiers.
"Master Xie! It's not good! The rebels, the rebels are going south!"
Xie Linlang was a little unbelievable when she heard this, "Aren't they stopped in Wangjiang?"
The current in Wangjiang River is so fast that the boat is difficult to ferry. How did they come here?
The officer and soldier replied, "The sentry flying pigeon passed a book, saying that there were water bandits driving the boat to Wangjiang, and it was the water bandits who used their big boat to carry the rebels over!"
This is really a raccoon dog!
Everyone in the square panicked. They were more than enough to deal with the water bandits in terms of numbers, but this is another wave of rebels?
Xie Linlang stood between the crowd and did not speak for a while.
The soldier asked very anxiously, "My lord, what should I do? The rebels have a total of 30,000 people, and they are all people who have fought against the court and have seen blood! We are afraid...not opponents."
This north-south attack, one land and one water, made the confidence they had just raised fell to the bottom!
This is heaven to kill them, how can you fight in this situation? Regardless of the number or fierceness, the opponent is far better than them, or... they all abandoned the city and ran away? !
But before someone suggested, another officer rushed over.
"It's not good! The rebels sent a team to besiege the city first! They didn't attack, they surrounded the city. How should this be done?"
I think they have already cooperated with the water bandits, so they deployed this way.
Xie Linlang suddenly laughed in a low voice... She wiped her face and stood up, and couldn't help sighing.
"Really, how can I..."
It's a little funny to think about it just because of her small town.
When everyone saw her laughing, they were even more panicked. Right now they want to abandon the city and escape. What should I do? Do you bite the bullet? But those rebels have weapons in their hands, they don't even have them!
Just when everyone was frustrated, a flying dove fell from the sky.
Xie Linlang stretched out his hand to catch it, and at the same time, there were regular footsteps coming from all directions.
When everyone looked up, they saw three thousand elite soldiers pouring out from the alleys!
They trot over and knelt down after being neatly arranged! The headed soldier bowed his hands to Xie Linlang.
"All of us are willing to send for the adults! We are willing to take the lead for Xiangcheng, and we are willing to die for the adults!"
After he finished speaking, everyone behind him shouted.
"I am willing to take the lead for Xiangcheng, and I am willing to die for the adults!!"
Xie Linlang looked at them, the corners of her lips twitched, and at the same time, she unfolded the letter paper brought by the homing pigeon, looked down and swept away, the cold light in her pupils became more and more bitter!
She was holding the letter paper into a ball, raising her eyes and sneered.
"Since these people are here, how can we not fight? All those who want to trample on this city will be killed without mercy!"
