The daily life of a talented young husband who travels through a book and suffers from cruelty

Chapter 124 Defending Generals and Three Thousand Cavalry

It turned out that when my brother said that the north gate was approaching, he meant that the north gate was surrounded by fleeing people, and their fleeing team reached the end of the crowd, unable to move any further.

You can only see the dark crowd in front of you, and you can't see where the door is at all.

The common people were shouting words like "open the gate and let us out", and the soldiers guarding the city were trying to appease the common people's emotions, saying that the south gate would be fine and that Japanese pirates would not be able to come in. The Japanese pirates were also quickly encircling them. It was much more dangerous to go out of the city than to be in the city at this time. The officers and soldiers explained to the people, but the people were too emotional to listen.

"Think of us as fools! The south gate of the city is surrounded by Japanese pirates! If you don't let us out of the city, what are your intentions!"

"Yes, yes! Are you really not going to give the people a way out!"

"Open the door! Open the door!"

The people who fled were excited, and the comfort of the officers and soldiers was ineffective at all. The Japanese army of thousands of people blocking the south gate made some people almost lose their minds.

Everyone wants to survive.

"There are so many people..." Li Xiaodao stood on tiptoe and glanced ahead, feeling that her fantasy of getting porridge here at noon just now was shattered.

"Oh, it's troublesome! I can't get out of the north gate," said sister-in-law Qi, who also raised her neck and looked ahead, frowning.

"What can I do!" "Yes! What if I can't get out!" Several other guys also said.

Li Xiaoxin also encountered difficulties. He couldn't get out of the north gate, and thousands of Japanese pirates surrounded the south gate. Is this going to be dumpling?
"Don't be afraid, if the city breaks down, each person will have a hoe and a shovel on the cart, even if he dies, he will have to drag a few Japanese pirates to his back!" Li Xiaoxin said angrily.

Li Xiaodao tugged on his brother's sleeve, stood on tiptoe and said, "Brother, don't worry, look over there! There is a general who looks like he has something to say."

Everyone in the escape team looked in the direction pointed by Li Xiaodao, and there really was a general in armor standing on the high platform.

After the general came to the stage, he shouted to everyone: "Quiet! All folks! Brothers and sisters! Be quiet! Listen to me!"

But the crowd didn't buy it. When he said this, everyone made a fuss more violently, and asked him to get off the stage and open the door quickly.

In desperation, the general defending the city suddenly took off the iron helmet he was wearing and put it on the table, and then untied his hair.

This action shocked all the people in the audience, and the entire area around the North City Gate fell silent.

Li Xiaodao thought of it as if it was often performed in costume dramas. For the ancients, hair was very important and could not be cut casually.

Everyone in the fleeing team held their breath like other civilians, wanting to see what the general was trying to do all of a sudden.

"Everyone, listen to me." The crowd finally quieted down, and the generals defending the city could finally speak properly.

"I am the general guarding the city of Anzhou. Today, I guarantee with my head that the south gate will not be broken. The soldiers guarding the city will fight to protect the gate. Moreover, Japanese pirates have gradually gathered at the north gate. Now Kaicheng The gate is not only dangerous for those who escape, but also makes the city dangerous. I have received news that around noon today, cavalry sent by the imperial court will come to support Anzhou City. Please find a place to take refuge temporarily , When the cavalry enters the city, there will inevitably be a fight at the north gate, please avoid it! Protect your own life! The cavalry must also drive on the main road, and it is no good for everyone to block here! Please listen to me, for the time being Avoid it! Maybe in a few days, everyone will be able to go home!"

The general spoke earnestly. Although there are still unbelievers, it seems that most of them have slowly begun to let go.

Qi rolled his eyes and said: "The Japanese pirates went to the provincial capital last time to kill people and set fire to them. After they left, many people wanted to move their families out of the provincial capital, saying they wanted to find another safe place. Our family did the same. We originally wanted to go back to Jinsha Town or I went to other prefectures and counties to see, but the officers and soldiers posted notices saying that we must strengthen our defenses in the future and never let the Japanese pirates go ashore again. Everyone believed it. The result? Didn’t the Japanese pirates still come this time? Whoever believes this nonsense, Anyway, I don't believe it!"

Li Xiaoxin also hesitated. It's hard to say whether the officers and soldiers said it or not. To be honest, he didn't believe this passage %.

But it is true that the Japanese pirates are gathering outside the North City Gate. You can already hear the Japanese outside the wall yelling something in the Japanese language.

The people quieted down. Li Xiaodao also heard Japanese voices outside the north gate. He seemed to be shouting "Why don't you open the door", "Why is it different from what you said?" Open the door why is it not open now" and so on.

What does it mean?You agreed to open the door last night?
Li Xiaodao was puzzled, could it be that Xinzhou Mu, who was in charge of Anzhou City, also sold Anzhou City to Japanese pirates?Now that the door is closed again, what happened to cause the situation to change?Could it be because the general said just now that the imperial court sent three thousand Qingqi for support?

Li Xiaodao summed up the matter roughly, reasoned logically, and made a good guess.

She hurriedly said to Li Xiaoxin: "Brother! Go back to the hut where you took refuge before! This general should not have lied, we have to go back and live in that shabby house for a few more days, maybe we can go home after a few days of dry food!"

Li Xiaoxin wondered: "How do you know he's not lying? I don't believe that the imperial court can send troops so quickly. It's only been seven days..."

Li Xiaodao smiled at him and said, "Hurry up and go back first, otherwise there will be no place to live, and I will explain why to you when I get back to the dilapidated house!"

Li Xiaoxin is skeptical, but her sister has been a very thoughtful child since she was a child, and she doesn't talk casually.

Li Xiaoxin looked at Mrs. Qi, and Mrs. Qi had something to say but held back; he looked at Cook Wang, who nodded to him, meaning to believe what Li Xiaodao said; he looked at Xiaodouzi and the other fellows , the others were at a loss, and didn't know which one to believe was the truth.

Li Xiaoxin sighed: "That's all! Just trust my sister once! Hurry up and go back to the room just now! Hurry up!"

Li Xiaoxin gave an order, and everyone drove the carriage and cart, and withdrew to the dilapidated house just now.

At this time, not only Li Xiaodao and the fleeing team from his elder brother's family withdrew, but other people also slowly dispersed from the north gate.

After returning to the dilapidated house and sitting down, Li Xiaodao explained to everyone why she thought the general did not lie. She understood the Japanese language outside the wall and kept shouting "Why didn't you open the door when you clearly agreed?" The city gate was opened for the Japanese pirates, but perhaps it was because the imperial court sent cavalry to arrive soon, this Anzhou Mu seemed to have changed his mind temporarily, and closed the city gate tightly to the Japanese pirates, which showed that the support of the cavalry was real The possibility is very high, what the general who defended the city said should be true.

After finishing speaking, Li Xiaoxin was surprised and said: "Good guy, Li Xiaodao, Li Xiaodao, why didn't I know that you can speak Japanese? Knowing Japanese is already rare enough, but now you can even speak Japanese? It's been a few years since I was away You have learned so many strange things?"

Li Xiaodao smiled and said: "What a strange thing, this is called language, and I have learned two languages!"

In fact, there are more than two kinds, and English can also be spoken, but at this time English has not appeared much in the Daiyu Dynasty, so in order to avoid unnecessary troubles, I will not mention it.

After laughing, Li Xiaodao got up and walked out, her brother stopped her and asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Xiaodao turned back and said: "I haven't seen cavalry yet, I want to go outside to see what cavalry is like."
