Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

Zheng Qian devised seventeen evacuation plans, employing different evacuation methods for different situations.

The silence these past few days has been eerily quiet, and the relaxed demeanor that several leaders inadvertently revealed made him uneasy.

He suspected that some kind of agreement had been reached between the higher-ups and the Red Turban Army.

When Red Turban Army soldiers died in battle, they actually chose to send the soldiers' remains home first and then stop fighting.

Is there anything more ridiculous than this?

Zheng Qian decided to have Zhang Tiezhu prepare a retreat plan; he couldn't do it himself, as too many eyes were watching him.

"Look, Inspector Zheng is here. Everyone, stand up straight."

"Inspector Zheng is not only a good fighter, but also very serious about his work. He is truly admirable."

"Yes, I heard he killed more than 10,000 Red Turban soldiers all by himself, that's amazing."

On the streets, Zheng Qian patrolled the city with his brothers from Wu Family Village, and different versions of his killing of Red Turban soldiers would always circulate.

After two days of public outcry, the number of people he killed was finally acknowledged to be in the tens of thousands.

Zheng Qian neither explained nor clarified these rumors, pretending not to hear them at all.

The officials' families have been sent home, as ordered by the county magistrate. Zheng Qian didn't ask why and just continued his daily patrol duties.

There are already 127 Zhuge Repeating Crossbows, and all 50,000 arrows have been fitted with arrowheads, meeting the specifications and lethality required for combat.

Whenever they encountered family members of officials, their gazes toward Zheng Qian were filled with fear and hatred.

They were all pampered family members of officials, yet they were asked to make arrows. They made a huge fuss, but the veterans swiftly cut off their sleeves with their knives, which truly frightened them.

Zheng Qian had previously ordered the veterans to execute anyone who caused trouble, but Magistrate He, considering their relationship with his subordinates, ordered them not to harm anyone, and they started causing trouble again.

After Zheng Qian finished his seclusion, he inspected the Zhuge Repeating Crossbows and arrows. He found that there were only three thousand arrows with arrowheads. All three thousand arrows were made by the people who stayed behind. The officials' families refused to do any work and only knew how to brag, eat, and sleep every day.

When officials ignored instructions from their superiors and tried to muddy the waters, Zheng Qian directly revealed his identity as the patrol inspector and dismissed them from their posts.

The family members of officials came to Zheng Qian to cause trouble, and Zhu Zhi's wife even threatened to demand an explanation from Zheng Qian.

"Zheng Qian, who do you think you are? You..."

Zheng Qian, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and unleashed a fierce killing intent. Madam Zhu was stunned and only spoke in a trembling voice after catching her breath.

"You, you are the guardian of Lvchang City. You need to rest more and take good care of your health. Leave the arrow making to us, and we will ensure the mission is completed."

Everyone immediately worked overtime to produce arrows overnight. Thousands of people worked at the same time and finally produced 50,000 qualified finished products.

One of the three crossbows has been completed, and the basic frames of three others have been made. There are still some small parts that need to be processed and broken in. It is expected that the other three will be completed by noon tomorrow.

The group discussed and concluded that the Red Turban Army would probably not attack the North Gate again. The next main attack would likely be on the West Gate, which Qin Yong was defending. Therefore, they decided to supply the West Gate with three crossbows first, and then send out three more crossbows, one for each gate, specifically to shoot down the enemy's ranged generals.

The four men checked the defenses of each city gate in turn. He Zuowen and Qin Yong showed no signs of relaxation, while Zheng Qian remained silent.

At dawn, Qin Yong stared at the map of Lvchang County at the West Gate, constantly planning the defense of the city.

"Commander Qin, are you busy?"

A voice interrupted his thoughts, "Magistrate Zhu, why are you here on inspection?"

The man who arrived was Zhu Zhi. He led a group of soldiers to patrol the city wall. According to the plan, the city wall had to be patrolled every thirty minutes to prevent soldiers from dozing off and being ambushed. The patrolmen had to be designated people, and Zhu Zhi was not among them.

"The county magistrate is busy inspecting the Jin Dao Shop's work on making three-bow crossbows, so he sent me to be in charge of this inspection."

Qin Yong nodded. The three-bow crossbow was indeed being processed and manufactured, and it was reasonable for Zhu Zhi to inspect it, after all, he was the second-in-command of Lüchang County.

He just disliked the scent on Zhu Zhi; it was really weird for a grown man to wear perfume.

Zhu Zhi didn't talk much with Qin Yong; he went through the process once and then left.

After Zhu Zhi left, Qin Yong gradually felt sleepy and couldn't help but sit and doze off for a while.

Ten minutes later, Zhu Zhi returned. He walked around the west city tower, and all the soldiers in the area slept peacefully.

In the woods outside Lüchang City, the Red Turban Army, densely packed with menacing soldiers, remained completely silent.

Outside the West Gate, the Red Turban Army stood in neat rows, their cloth shoes covered with a layer of grass. The tens of thousands of soldiers marched quickly toward the West Gate without making a sound, as if only a gentle breeze was blowing across the ground and stirring up dust.

As they approached the West Gate, the heavy city gate, like an old man stretching, creaked and slowly opened.

Zhu Zhi opened the door from the inside, and tens of thousands of Red Turban soldiers surged into the West Gate like a tide.

The communications team on the west side were all sleeping on the rooftops. They were only awakened when the Red Turban Army held knives to their necks. Before they could send a signal, they were killed with a single blow.

And so, the western city quickly fell into darkness.

Qin Yong was still fast asleep with his eyes closed, while the rest of the soldiers had been tied up hand and foot. Not a single person in the entire West Gate had woken up.

Zhu Zhi's perfume has a very strong hypnotic effect.

Surrounded by a group of experts, Li Cheng walked up to the west gate and waved to the people behind him, "Tie them up."

Just as they encountered Qin Yong, Qin Yong suddenly opened his eyes, kicked away the Red Turban Army soldier who was about to tie him up, and shouted in disbelief.

"Li Cheng?"

Li Cheng smiled confidently. "Commander Qin, I've come to take over Lvchang City."

Li Cheng's words instantly snapped Qin Yong out of his daze. He then realized that the city gate had been occupied by the Red Turban Army, and the Changwu Army soldiers were all tied up and fast asleep.

"So Zhu Zhi is one of your people?"

"Haha, you're only just realizing this now? Too late." Li Cheng finished speaking and said coldly, "Go, capture him alive."

With a clang, Qin Yong drew his broadsword and unleashed all his power, slashing at Li Cheng.

Ding.

Li Cheng's lieutenant raised his sword to block, but Qin Yong made a feint and jumped off the city wall, simultaneously taking out a signal flare and launching it into the air.

Whoosh, bang...

The signal flare illuminated the night sky over Lvchang City, and then the group of martial arts masters quickly spread the message.

"Report that Ximen is in dire need of help."

"Report that Ximen is in dire need of help."

The voices of martial arts masters quickly spread throughout Lvchang City.

Just then, the shouts of the Red Turban Army rang out from outside the three gates, and the Red Turban Army launched a full-scale attack.

When Qin Yong landed, he realized that he was surrounded by Red Turban Army soldiers.

shhhhhh...

Qin Yong wielded his heavy sword with wide, sweeping strokes, relentlessly hacking at the enemy.

Li Cheng's face was gloomy. He had overestimated Zhu Zhi's ability to drug people and underestimated Qin Yong's fighting strength. He had been drugged with the Red Turban Army's special sleeping potion, yet he was able to wake up so quickly.

He hadn't expected that information could be transmitted so quickly within Lvchang City; combat information was relayed through sound within the city in just over ten seconds.

Who came up with this ingenious idea? It's so underhanded, making his sneak attack only half successful.

Knowing that the operation had been exposed, Li Cheng immediately gave the order.

"Light the fire, launch a general attack from the west gate, and capture Zheng Qian alive."
