As soon as he said this, he immediately got a strong reaction from everyone!
What were their days before? What day are you living now
In the past, they were oppressed every day, and the reason why they didn't resist was because they didn't dare to resist, and the second reason was because they knew that the lives of ordinary people in this world were not worth anything at all! Everyone else has been like this, and so have they.
But after Xie Linlang came, not only did he not squeeze them, but he also gave them various benefits and made them rich...
To be honest, her various acts of kindness were not what moved them the most, but what moved them the most was that Xie Linlang always regarded them as human beings!
She is a noble person, a champion from the capital. She could have stepped on their backs and forced them to be grateful, but she didn't.
She works like them, eats the same food, and treats them equally and with respect.
When they have weddings or funerals, she will come. When they open a shop to mention characters or name their children, she will also seriously scrutinize them.
She really respects their lives, instead of treating them like weeds to trample like other nobles.
How precious is such a person? How lucky are they to meet her
In the crowd, Master Zhang took his wife a step forward and said.
"Xiangcheng is in trouble, it's everyone's business! I don't care what other people's attitudes and psychology are, but I will definitely stay! In this life, I have never held anything other than a pen, and I want to try this sharp knife. weight!"
After he finished speaking, the butcher who specialized in killing dogs in the city also stood up, only to see him carrying two knives and looking around at everyone.
"I, Wang Han, have never seen a water bandit in my life! I want to see if they are murderous of me!"
Many young people were also excited and excited, "Sir Xie's enemy is our enemy! We in Xiangcheng will both prosper and lose all! We swear to live and die together with your lord!"
Xie Linlang's horse gradually surrounded a lot of people, blocking her.
The blacksmith said, "I can provide more than a hundred knives for free! I can also fight, I am strong!"
The groom who kept the horse said, "I can take my horse to transport boulders and roll oil, and I will never let those guys have a chance to get on the wall!"
Even the woman said, "We can cook, the food is abundant in the city, how can those pirates in the water cost us more?"
"And me! I'm the gentleman of the martial arts hall, and I can play ten of them one at a time!"
Xie Linlang was stunned. The horse she was sitting on was forced to retreat by the enthusiasm of the crowd. She was surprised for a while before she recovered, and then she couldn't help laughing.
In fact, she arranged for someone to retreat, mainly considering that the other party would make a later move, and there was no need to increase casualties.
And if the city is empty, in case those people come in, she can come to catch the turtle in a urn.
But these are things to come later. If the people in the city can join the enemy and come to help, then this battle will not be fought like this! She can have better arrangements!
Thinking so, she raised her smile again and said loudly.
"Okay! Since that's the case, we'll transfer the old and the weak, women and children to take shelter for a while! Others, stay here with me! It's just that those water bandits can't enter the city. Once they enter the city, none of them will be left behind! All are strangled!"
"—Kill!!" Everyone shouted loudly!
With their support, Xie Linlang also felt as if endless power burst out from within her body!
And those water bandits are all out this time, right
If you really want to doze off, come to the pillow, since they are courting death, then she will take them away! In this way, she will travel by water to deliver goods in the future, and it will be unimpeded.
Facing the shouts of the crowd, Huang Lao and others behind Xie Linlang were stunned.
Although he knew that Xie Linlang had won the hearts of Xiangcheng's people, he did not expect her to be so popular!
Huang Lao, who has always been in a high position, didn't understand, but Ru Nian, who was standing in the dark and witnessed this scene, understood.
Scholars die for those who are confidants, Xie Linlang takes their lives as their lives, and they are willing to lead the way for her. People are sometimes complicated, but sometimes they are very simple. If you really want to summarize it, it's just four words - only Sincerely.
I saw Xie Linlang gave an order, and everyone started to act. There were about 10,000 young people left behind, and some young people also needed to protect the old and weak women and children from entering the mountain, so they did not stay.
With more than 10,000 people, Xie Linlang sent them to work overtime to repair the city wall.
In this way, coupled with Qin Jue's people, they should be foolproof.
…
There are not so many people in the workshop, and they are preparing in the square in the city, and the water bandits on the other side are pressing step by step, testing every day, and wars will break out at any time!
Who would have guessed that at this time, an urgent report suddenly came from the North City Gate. Xie Linlang was debugging the trebuchet in the square when he heard the panic report of the officers and soldiers.
"Thank you, sir! It's not good! The rebels, the rebels have gone south!"
Xie Linlang was a little incredulous when she heard the words, "Aren't they blocked in Wangjiang?"
The Wangjiang River is turbulent, and it is difficult for boats to cross it. How did they get here
The officer replied, "The sentinel flying pigeons passed on a book, saying that the water bandits drove the boats to Wangjiang, and it was the water bandits who used their big boats to carry the rebels here!"
This is really a raccoon dog!
Everyone in the square panicked. They were more than enough to deal with the water bandits, but there was another wave of rebels
Xie Linlang stood among the crowd and did not speak for a while.
The soldier asked very anxiously, "Sir, what should I do? There are 30,000 rebels, and all of them have fought against the imperial court and have seen blood! We're afraid... not opponents."
This north-south attack, one land and one water, made the confidence that they only mentioned plummet to the bottom!
God is going to kill them, how can they fight in this situation? No matter the number or the degree of ferocity, the other party is far superior to them, or... they all abandoned the city and ran away? !
But before someone suggested it, another officer hurried over.
"It's not good! The rebels sent a team to besiege the city first! They did not attack, but they surrounded the city outside. What should I do?"
I think they have already cooperated with the water bandits, so they will be deployed like this.
Xie Linlang suddenly laughed in a low voice... She wiped her face and stood up, she couldn't help sighing.
"Really, how can I be..."
It's a bit funny to think about such a large-scale deployment and strict deployment, just for her small town.
Seeing her smiling, everyone panicked even more. Now they can't even abandon the city and run away, so what should they do? Are you fighting hard? But those rebels have weapons in their hands, and they don't even have all the weapons!
Just when everyone was disheartened, a flying pigeon fell from the sky.
Xie Linlang reached out to catch it, and at the same time, there were uniform footsteps coming from all directions.
Everyone looked up and saw three thousand elite soldiers pouring out from the alleys on all sides!
They trotted over, lined up and knelt down! The leading soldiers handed over to Xie Linlang.
"All of us are willing to send for the adults! We are willing to lead the way for Xiangcheng, and we are willing to die for the adults!"
After he finished speaking, everyone behind him shouted in unison.
"—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 were slightly hooked. At the same time, she unfolded the letter paper brought by the carrier pigeon, and swept her eyes down, the cold light in her pupils became more and more cold!
I saw her holding the letter paper into a ball, raised her eyes and sneered.
"Since these people are here, how can we not fight? All those who want to trample this city, kill without mercy!"
