Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

He just didn't believe it. Could these thieves possibly fly or hide underground?

Cao Binglun was determined to get back all the gold, silver and jewelry in his treasure house, and he also wanted to kill people in large numbers.

This move was to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. He vowed to let everyone know that anyone who dared to offend him, Cao Binglun, would have only one outcome, and that was - death.

Not to mention that Cao Binglun was almost crazy, tossing Sangguo Town around and making everyone in it twist and turn.

At the Guzhen Pass, scouts came back to report after investigating the enemy situation, which made the defending generals so happy that they grinned from ear to ear. The captain waved his hand and ordered the firemen to kill five pigs as a sign of congratulations.

Although the pigs in the military settlements were fat and strong, each weighing more than 100 kilograms, when shared among each soldier, they could only get a little bit of oil and meat.

But, it’s a snack.

Slurp,

The soldiers wiped their saliva, thinking that something is better than nothing.

Princess Le'an's accommodation

Lin Xiaoyue asked Xiaocao and Chunxing to pick out what they liked. Girls should dress up beautifully.

As for the rest, she also did not lose out, as everyone got a share and they all picked what they liked. She planned to add some more for the rest and give some to the guards who went up the mountain.

After all, we are all family, everyone has a share, and no one is left out.

She can help the enemy with generosity.

As for handing it in, oh my, soldiers would hide some of the spoils they captured, this was an unwritten rule. And she was not a serious soldier, her role was at most a friendly guest appearance.

Besides, how much have we taken? Should we share it with tens of thousands of soldiers at the pass? ... Let's just forget it.

After everyone had chosen their food, Lin Xiaoyue packed up the rest, yawned, and went back to her room to catch up on her sleep.

Leaving behind the front hall, everyone was holding the gold, silver and jewelry she had collected, which were scattered in the wind.

The Seventh Uncle wore a string of large Dong beads around his neck and held four large gold ingots in his hands. He smiled with his teeth showing and kept laughing, "Oh, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, someone would give me pocket money too, hahahaha."

The prince was holding a large piece of imperial jadeite that was bigger than his face and so green that it made people panic. He had a mysterious look on his face. In his mind, he kept replaying the scene of Princess Le'an generously forcing the jadeite into his arms, saying that it was pocket money for him... pocket money...

Others also gained something. All in all, it was a pleasant day.

Lin Xiaoyue didn't care how surprised or happy everyone in the hall was. She felt sleepy, and as soon as she returned to her room, she threw the remaining jewelry on the table and fell asleep.

He slept for a whole day and night, and when he woke up again, he was awakened by the thunderous sound of drums, "Boom, boom, boom... boom, boom..." It was the enemy army approaching.

Lin Xiaoyue's sleepiness disappeared all at once.

When she quickly changed her clothes and rushed to the front hall, only Xiaocao and Ergou were left in the house. The others had already followed the Seventh Prince and the Crown Prince to Ge Qianhu's place;

Doctor Qiao and Doctor Li took the mute medicine boy, Chun Xing and the rescued strange man to the military doctor's office to help. Before leaving, they did not forget to change the medicine on Er Gouzi's ear.

Without time to say anything, Lin Xiaoyue picked up a steamed bun from the table and ate it while walking. She went into the room and took out a large box of gunpowder and several crossbows, then put on her backpack which she often used for cover. She asked Xiaocao and Gouzi to carry the box, and the three of them went to the city wall together.

All along the way, she was thinking about the enemy's attack. She didn't know whether the Seventh Uncle had brought in gunpowder weapons at the Gucheng Pass, and how many he had brought. But today was the last day of the three-day deadline agreed with the guards. If the army attacked the city, her guards would most likely be blocked outside the city gate. If they were discovered by the enemy, the consequences would be...

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue immediately took out one of the boxes of gunpowder that she had stolen from the Mu family's secret room.

He didn't even bother to make excuses when the Seventh Uncle and the others asked him about it.

Anyway, with this powerful gunpowder weapon, even if the enemy suddenly attacks, the Guzhen Pass can hold out for a while.

The three men carefully protected the boxes of gunpowder along the way, quickly shuttled among the soldiers coming and going, and ran straight towards the direction of the city gate of the pass.

People passing by shouted from time to time, asking people to gather quickly, saying that certain battlements were short-handed and that certain weapons were needed. At the same time, they also heard that Tiansheng brought no less than 5 soldiers with him for this attack.

"Sister San Ya, what should we do?" Xiao Cao exclaimed, "Fifty thousand soldiers and ten thousand troops are enough at the Guyan Pass. The enemy is five times ours. How can we fight them?..." He couldn't help but blurt out the worry in his heart because he was too surprised.

"Sanyaya, the guards are all outside the city. If we are discovered by the enemy, then..." It's dangerous. Ergou didn't finish his words, but Lin Xiaoyue and Xiaocao could hear the strong urgency in his voice.

"Go up to the city wall first, and be careful with the gunpowder in your hands." Lin Xiaoyue was also feeling uneasy, and she tightened the crossbow on her shoulder. However, she had no idea what the situation was at the moment, and instead of thinking about it and losing her composure, she might as well go up to the city wall. The Seventh Uncle and the others were most likely there, so she would listen to what they said first.

The three of them ran up to the city wall at a high speed. Before they could catch their breath, they looked up and saw the scene in the distance from the lookout, which made them gasp.

At this time, the great battle below had already begun. The shouts of killing were deafening, and 50,000 enemy troops were like a surging tide, crushing towards the Gucheng Pass.

The soldiers were majestic, their armors gleaming with a cold light, their faces grim, wielding spears and swords, charging forward desperately. The sound of horse hooves rang out like thunder, raising a cloud of dust.

At this time, the Seventh Prince was in charge on the city wall and ordered the soldiers to shoot arrows at the enemy.

What made Lin Xiaoyue's breath catch in her eyes was that between the two armies were the thirty guards who had returned as promised, and were now caught in a dilemma.

Seeing that the guards were in a miserable state, with wounds of varying degrees of severity, and even broken arrows stuck in their bodies, although not fatal, the guards kept retreating, causing blood to ooze out of their wounds.

The crossbows in their hands had already been used up, and the nearest enemy troops were approaching them, with the distance between the two sides less than 1 li (about 400 meters).

The guards did not intend to escape to the city gate and become hostages for the enemy to threaten the Dayuan soldiers, forcing them to open the city gates, or to torture them to death in front of the Dayuan soldiers in order to shock the army.

But each of them had only 50 crossbow arrows, and after they had used up all of them, the enemy army gradually tightened the encirclement and forced them to the city wall little by little.

The Seventh Prince and his men also saw Lin Xiaoyue's guards between the two armies, so they ordered their troops to shoot arrows to suppress the enemy's offensive and buy time for the thirty guards.
