The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 1023

[Chapter 1023 We must win!]

Hundreds of people hurried to the armory, hurriedly received weapons, hurriedly put on armor, and hurried to the city wall.

The city gates have been lowered and notices have been posted in every corner of Jinzhou Fucheng, prohibiting everyone from leaving Jinzhou Fucheng.

The people who were selling, buying, and eating vegetables were all stunned when they saw the guards coming and going in a panic.

Immediately, the guards were even more panicked and began to inquire one by one.

“There are so many soldiers, they are equipped with weapons and armor. What happened?”

“It can’t be pirates who came to attack, right?”

“Ah? How is this possible? It’s just a group of pirates. How dare you lay siege to the city? “

“How many people are there in the Jinzhou Guard? How many pirates are there? Didn’t the prefect put up a notice a few days ago to recruit soldiers? ? If nothing else, it’s because the Jinzhou Health Center doesn’t have enough people!”

“

What’s wrong with this? It’s so normal! How can anyone want to do it?”

“Don’t say it !

What nonsense, now they are knocking on the door, you still expect these Qiu Ba to protect us!”

The people looked at the ‘Qiu Ba’ who hurriedly walked up the city wall with very complicated emotions.

On normal days, they look down on these guys.

But if something really happened, I would realize that it would be impossible without these people.

The reason why I can live such a peaceful life now is precisely because of their existence!

Some things don’t feel like they matter when you have them, but when you lose them, you will realize how precious that thing is.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Even those who once despised warriors looked at those soldiers with some respect at this moment.

Obviously, the soldiers also noticed the change in the eyes of the people around them and spat angrily.

“Bah! Normally, everyone looks down on us, and when something happens, they want us to take the blame. But these guys are thinking about good things every day!”

The captain next to him glared at him and cursed: ” Why don’t the leaders of the army hear you complaining in normal times? When something happens and we need to take care of it, you start complaining again. What’s there to complain about? We are the ones who do this kind of thing!”

After hearing this, He curled his lips, noncommittal.

Take the crossbow and a box of arrows and continue walking forward.

At this time, a pair of chubby little hands suddenly stretched out from beside him and blocked his face.

He frowned, and just when he was about to curse, he saw a little girl standing there with a cold bun in her hand, and timidly said: “Uncle, you must win.”

“”

The man stood there, stunned. For a moment, I was at a loss for words.

The person next to him reached out and took the bun, stuffed it into his hand, smiled at the child and said, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing. It’s just that the prefect wants to exercise us.”

After that, he winked at the person. , and walked quickly towards the city wall.

Although these guys usually do nothing, when they really encounter something, they are not as unbearable as they imagined.

After all, they were a group of trained off-duty soldiers. Although they were not as good as the elites in the major towns and could not enforce orders and prohibitions, they were still much stronger than those stationed soldiers.

The man held the bun in his hand, which was cold and cold. For some reason, there was a feeling in his heart that he had never felt before.

He is not fighting for military pay, nor is he fighting for himself, but for the tens of thousands of people inside the city wall!

Although there is a high probability that those stationed troops will not harm the people in the city, this is something that no one can say for sure.

What if those garrison soldiers get involved and suddenly become mad?

Therefore, this city must be defended!

His face gradually gained something that had never been seen before, as if it was shining, and his steps towards the city wall were much firmer than before.

The voice of the captain next to him was still ringing: “Move quickly, those soldiers will be at the city wall soon. Look at you, what do you look like? Do you still look like soldiers?”

He did not refute and remained silent. , but the pace has accelerated a lot.

On the city wall, Zhou Chen had been waiting here early.

Although the capital city of Jinzhou is small, it has all kinds of defensive fortifications.

Except for the moat, everything else is there. If the city gate is closed at this moment, even the elites will be helpless for a while, let alone stationing troops.

The most important thing is whether this matter can be good, and if not, how to define it.

If the troops stationed in the city were besieged and the court determined that the government was forcing the people to rebel, then the problem would be huge.

Apart from anything else, several people in the government office had no luck, but he, the city guard, could be exempted from some culpability.

However, after being with the prefect for such a long time, he is used to working under the prefect. If someone suddenly changes, he really won’t be so adaptable.

Moreover, the magistrate has done nothing but hard work over the years. Not only has he served the people wholeheartedly, but he has not done anything stupid. All in all, his reputation as an official is relatively good, and he is more loved by the people. .

It’s really not certain what the situation would be like if it were a different person.

Zhou Chen sighed, no longer thinking about those messy things, but focused his eyes on the distance.

There, a group of black shadows was clearly visible, and it was gradually approaching the city gate. There was no doubt that those were the garrison troops gathered together.

The city gate has been closed, but I want to see how these troops can break the city!

Zhou Chen sneered and ordered: “Everyone put on their armor and have their bows and arrows ready. If those soldiers approach with weapons, follow my orders and shoot them in volley!”

“Yes!” A chorus of voices sounded. There is momentum.

The black shadow gradually approached, but stopped at just the right distance.

At that distance, the garrison troops could not attack the city wall, but the defenders on the city wall could not attack them either. When

Zhou Chen saw this scene, his eyes narrowed slightly.

This shows that the other party did not act impulsively, but came prepared.

Sure enough, they saw a black knight rushing towards the dark shadow and stopping in front of the city wall.

“I am Zhao Rui, the commander of the Jinzhou Army Station. I want to see the magistrate!”

Zhao Rui

was in a daze when he heard this.

The Jinzhou military camp had disappeared for so long that he almost forgot about this character.

This guy is a second-rate warrior and should not be underestimated!
