Zhongxiang County Government.

It was getting late now, but Shen San and the others were still waiting at the city gate.

Although there has been no fighting at the other city gate, Wang Ba did not dare to be careless at all, and guarded it with his men and horses.

The people in the county government had also heard about the invasion of barbarians in the grassland, and they were a little panicked.

Although these grassland barbarians are their enemies in Daqian, and although they are said to be extremely vicious, to them, these are all very far away.

There is almost no interaction with them.

When these grassland barbarians came in, they thought Daqian was going to be destroyed.

Many people even had to pack up their soft belongings and prepare to head south for refuge.

Ling Qiujun was in charge in the city, and Hu Wan led many people to control everything, so that there was no chaos in the city.

After the grassland barbarians came in, Shen San and the others didn't have any good ideas now.

The original trade routes must have been interrupted recently.

Those barbarians came here to plunder supplies, and these passing business travelers naturally became their goods.

Now that they have all arrived in Zhongxiang County, there must be some barbarians in several counties near Liuxiang County.

And look at what this means.

The officers and soldiers from Liuxiang County were retreating steadily.

Wei Tong took the remaining troops and fled back to the county mansion. Until now, he had not heard any movement.

Shen San was a little aggrieved.

Could it be that this majestic Liuxiang County was really trampled to this point by thousands of prairie cavalry?

It seems that my current strength is still too weak.

If he had tens of thousands of men under his command, Shen San would really want to compete with these barbarians in person.

But it's too late to say anything now.

"Third Master, someone is coming."

Wang Mang, who was on the side, reminded Shen San.

Shen San looked forward and saw a bandit galloping towards the city gate.

"Third Master!"

"A large group of people are coming towards our county capital."

"Judging from the number of torches, there are about one to two thousand people."

The bandit said to Shen San.

"How did you get the news so quickly?"

"If there are one or two thousand people, it will be like a siege posture."

Shen San frowned and said.

"Third Master, judging from the speed of their march, it doesn't seem to be the case. Although they are all cavalry, they walk leisurely. They don't seem to be here to fight."

"There are still seven or eight miles left, but if they come at their speed, it will still take some time."

The bandit thought for a while and said to Shen San.

"Okay, I understand."

"You should stay in the city first and then go back to the mountains after the incident. Otherwise, if you go out, you will be in trouble when you meet them."

Shen San nodded and said to the bandit.

In Shen San's opinion, the reason why these barbarians came here was probably because of the Jihuawa tribe.

The barbarians at that time should have planned to attack here.

Unexpectedly, they encountered defeated officers and soldiers on the way, so the soldiers were divided into two groups. One group chased the officers and soldiers, and the other group came to Zhongxiang County House.

then.

Hundreds of people from the Chihuahua tribe were all eliminated by closing doors and beating dogs, and no fish escaped the trap.

They probably don't know what's going on here.

Maybe it was because the people from the Jihuahua tribe had not returned yet and came out to check the situation. Since the Hu people came to the door themselves, there was no reason to let them go.

Shen San was thinking in his heart.

"Fat man, go get Lao Liu and Luo Xiong."

Shen San thought for a while and said to Wang Mang.

Not for a while.

A large group of people appeared from a distance outside Zhongxiang County.

"Young Master, ahead is the county seat of Zhongxiang County."

A barbarian said to Monlik.

Monlik looked in the direction and saw a city hidden in the alternation of moonlight and darkness.

"Not quite right?"

"Why can't you see any lights in this city?"

"At this time, even if all the people are asleep, there won't be no lights at all, right?"

Meng Liq looked at the dark city in front of him with some surprise.

At this time, the Zhongxiang County Mansion in the distance had no lights, not even the city walls, and not even the slightest movement. Looking from a distance, it looked like a dead city.

It gives people a very weird feeling.

"Yes, young master, I heard that the Zhongxiang County government is occupied by Daqian's own rebels."

"These rebels must be weaker than the officers and soldiers. Could it be said that the people of the Jihuahua tribe have destroyed the city and left?"

The barbarian next to him said.

"It shouldn't be. Even if the city is destroyed, it should be a burning ruin in less than a day."

"It would never be like this."

"No matter how small the Jihuawa tribe is, there are still hundreds of people. With the strength of the Dagan people, it is impossible to kill them all. It is really confusing."

"No matter what, it's better to be cautious. In this way, you send a few people back quickly and let the rest of the people come with them. Even if there is something wrong with this city, we will still push him!"

As Monlik walked, he turned his head and said to the person next to him.

He led the Hu people behind him and stopped far outside Zhongxiang County.

At this time on the city wall.

Shen San was also quietly looking at the barbarians in the distance.

The moonlight is nice tonight.

Moreover, many of the Hu people were lighting torches, and Shen San could see them clearly from the city wall.

It's just weird at this time.

According to Shen San's knowledge, including some of Zheng Tai's statements, although the Hu people have always been brave and invincible, they are somewhat weak in terms of strategy.

He also has an impulsive and unscrupulous personality.

It's like thousands of Wang Mang forming a team. If you really fight them head-on, it will be a headache no matter who you are, but it is not difficult to defeat them.

But at this time, this team of people actually stopped far away.

This distance has even reached the limit of Ashan and the others' archery. It is possible to use a catapult, but the men and horses behind cannot cover them all.

The stones that Wang Mang and Wang Ba had prepared before were also used up. Shen San did not expect that after repelling the officers and soldiers, he would encounter grassland barbarians.

These people are quite cautious.

However, Shen San turned around and looked at the dark city, and shook his head helplessly.

It's hard not to make people suspicious like this.

No way, in this day and age, some things are still in short supply.

However, calculating the distance, we can still attack, but the coverage area is still a little less. Once they retreat, I'm afraid not many of them will be left.

It would be easier if we could go further.

Shen San frowned.

"In this way, Ashan, you and a few brothers who are good at archery will aim at the leader in front of me. Pay attention to my gestures, find the right time, and shoot me to death."

"Kill that man no matter what!"

Shen San said to Ah Shan.

"Don't worry, Third Master, the barbarians' bows are more powerful than our bows and arrows, so the distance will be no problem!"

Ah Shan said to Shen San solemnly.

"good!"

"Open the city gate!"

"I'll go out myself!"
