MTL - Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.-Chapter 1147 The magistrate of Fengshan County is here!
Chapter 1147 The magistrate of Fengshan County is here!
"Okay, my lord, you are in deep danger, so you are not afraid. How can we retreat?" Both the county magistrate and the county lieutenant shouted in agreement.
The commander of the city defense battalion even drew his sword to show his determination.
Actually, it’s not that they are really so passionate and loyal, there are just too many people outside.
At this rate, if the city gate is breached, their family members will still be in the city.
Moreover, this mob attack on the city must be reported to the court.
This is an excellent opportunity for them to make a name for themselves and make achievements.
No one wants to squat in this position for the rest of their lives, making no progress!
Now the county magistrate bears most of the risks. If he doesn't dare to take a gamble anymore, he will be as ridiculous as a turtle with a shrinking neck!
In this way, arrangements were made secretly and quickly on the tower.
Sure enough, within half an hour, the mob outside the city gate began to attack the city again.
Thirty members of the Maitreya Religion, together with a hundred brainwashed newcomers, rushed to the front.
The remaining people followed behind, cheering and bluffing.
The soldiers on the city did not pour boiling oil this time, but instead poured rocks.
In fact, you can shoot arrows, but you can't see clearly at night. Knowing that most of them are ordinary people, you can't bear to shoot.
Maitreya sects are not all weaklings, and there are indeed a few who are quite capable.
They temporarily cut down trees and tied a ladder, which they put up to half of the city wall, and they were about to use the strength to jump up the city wall.
At this time, a team of more than a dozen people suddenly appeared from behind the mob and rushed in like tigers entering a flock of sheep.
Almost in the blink of an eye, he reached the front and chopped down seven or eight Maitreya cult members with his sword.
Before the Maitreya cult members could understand, the city gate was suddenly opened.
Soldiers from the city defense camp, county captains, and men from the Li family's caravan also rushed out and immediately made dumplings for the Maitreya cult members.
The pros and cons were reversed, and the Maitreya sect members were also panicked and shouted loudly to urge the people.
“Everyone, rush, the city is full of food, if you want to survive, rush for me!”
As a result, the sound of the copper basin, which was louder than his, suddenly rang in all directions, deafening everyone in the dark night.
Li Jiaren stood on top of a temporarily found carriage and shouted loudly to the people.
“Folks, I am the magistrate of Fengshan County! I know that you are incited and bewitched tonight, and you just want to grab some food for the young and old at home.
“I’m telling you now, you don’t need to rob, I will open a panic warehouse tomorrow to release food for disaster relief!” As long as you put down your sticks and don’t help others, today’s crime will never be investigated!
"Don't help the gangsters to fight against the imperial court and Tianwu! The people opposite you are also Fengshan folks, and they also have parents and relatives. We should face natural disasters together instead of fighting here!"
Hundreds of people are honest and responsible people, and they would not do this if they were not trying to survive.
To be honest, they are weak in standing up and cheering, and lack of confidence.
At this moment, someone in the crowd immediately threw sticks and shouted in agreement.
"Master Li is a good official. If he says to provide food, he will do so. I won't do it. I have old people and children at home!"
As he spoke, the man quit the team and ran to the side.
The rest of the group had no idea. When they saw the leader, they followed like a swarm, throwing sticks and running away.
The members of the Maitreya Cult were furious, but they were so wrapped up that they had no time to care.
Li Jiaren still stood on the roof of the car and shouted, "Folks, you are all my subjects of Fengshan County. I am the county magistrate, and I will not harm you! Put down your weapons quickly and forget about it."
“We will open a position tomorrow. If you are afraid of being retaliated by the Maitreya Cult, you can take your family to the city to escape! I will keep you safe! Don’t take any chances, retreat quickly, retreat! Be careful of accidental injuries!”
More and more people retreated, and for a time only a hundred or ten people were still resisting.
Li Jiaren waved his hand at the city gate, and more soldiers poured out for the final siege. Seeing victory in sight, everyone inside and outside the city gate breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a tall commoner rushed out of the crowd and threw himself on the top of the carriage.
Two veterans stood guard under the carriage and struck with their swords, but they were easily dodged by the attackers.
Seeing that this man's long sword was about to fall on Li Jiaren, the county magistrate on the city tower was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out.
Li Jiaren has been waiting for this person to appear.
After all, after observing for so long, the so-called hall master did not show up at all.
Either he ran away in fear of death, or he hid among the people and secretly controlled the siege.
At this moment, he calmly took out a knife from behind his back and swung it out with all his strength.
With a clang, the attacker's knife was cut from the middle and hit the roof of the car.
Li Jiaren's long sword did not change its force and directly cut off the visitor's arm.
The man screamed and fell off the carriage. He was held down by the veteran, and his hamstrings were cut off and tied up.
Li Jiaren's body was covered with blood. Hengdao stood on the roof of the car and shouted loudly, "The leader of Maitreya Church is captured, Fengshan will win!"
The inside and outside of the city gate seemed to be frozen. No one expected that the weak and weak county magistrate could be so brave!
But it was only for a moment. Soon, everyone inside and outside the city was shouting crazily, "Fengshan is mighty, Fengshan is mighty!"
Especially the soldiers in the city defense camp, their eyes were burning.
Don’t be afraid of danger, kill thieves with your own hands, and fight bloody!
Who can not like and admire such a parent?
Even the people who retreated could not help shouting.
How come they are obsessed with following these monks and causing trouble?
With such parents and officials, how could the people starve to death?
Soon, the members of the Maitreya Sect and others were captured.
Death and arrest, Fengshan achieved a complete victory in the entire siege.
Li Jiaren was surrounded by people entering the city gate, and was greeted by people all over the city.
Some people kowtow, others offer the best food and drink at home, and it is as lively as daytime.
Even the proud wealthy households and members of aristocratic families lowered their heads and came forward to salute.
Li Jiaren responded one by one, but did not stay too long.
The people outside the city had to settle down, discuss opening warehouses, and send letters to the Lu family at the border to remind them to take precautions.
Of course, the most important thing is to give the imperial court an eight hundred miles memorial.
With all natural and man-made disasters added together, the court must have a response.
Otherwise, a single spark that starts a prairie fire cannot be extinguished easily...
At three o'clock in the morning, in the border town, the laziest lazy man also went out to work to make a living.
At this time, the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the palace gate, causing a commotion in the front yard.
Soon, the chief steward of the palace took a messenger and ran to the study to report the news.
"General, general! The Queen of Xindu has passed away!" The housekeeper was left panting, and he shouted as he entered the courtyard.
Although news had already reached Xindu that the queen had died long ago, they just kept the mourning secret.
But only General Lu and the military adviser knew the news, and everyone else kept it secret.
At this moment, the butler shouted loudly, and everyone panicked.
