"Ah, ah, ah, isn't this a monster? Is this a monster? Can we fight it? If Zhao Wen came here, wouldn't he be able to swallow our military fort in one bite!"
"Yeah, this is the monster. How can we be the opponent of the monster when we fight against the monster?"
Listening to Jin Tiesheng's voice, hundreds of households around were discussing with fear.
The soldiers around couldn't help but put their ears to Jin Tiesheng's side, listening to Jin Tiesheng's voice nervously.
"Who says it's not? We are no match for Bandit Zhao!" Jin Tiesheng shook his head.
"Then what should we do?"
"Yes, my lord, what shall we do?"
Jin Tiesheng looked at these people and said, "What else can I do? Play by ear, I can only say play by ear!"
Jin Tiesheng did not bluntly say surrender or run away, but all the words revealed this meaning.
"You are my subordinates. I can't just watch you being killed by Thief Zhao. You should pretend you didn't hear what I said tonight. If anyone dares to reveal it, don't blame me for turning my back on you!" Jin Tiesheng half-closed his eyes, glanced at these hundreds of households fiercely, and threatened.
"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely not tell what happened tonight."
"My lord is for our sake, we will definitely not betray you!"
"That's right, if anyone dares to betray your lord, they will not let the brothers live, and we will never spare them!"
The hundreds of households around hurriedly explained their position.
Jin Tiesheng nodded, "Okay, as long as I can escape this catastrophe, I will bring you delicious and spicy food!"
Jin Tiesheng didn't have the determination to defend the military fort at all. Jin Tiesheng had fought against Zhao Wen's subordinates, had seen Zhao Wen's strength, and knew the horror of Zhao Wen's weapons, so he said these words.
When Jin Tiesheng was appointed by Sun Chuanting to guard the fort, he already had this thought in his heart, but at that time, because Zhao Wen hadn't sent troops yet, he didn't show it.
Now that Zhao Wen sent troops, and nights were everywhere outside the city, the fear in Jin Tiesheng's heart became more and more serious, and his thoughts of running for his life became more and more intense.
……
At night, Xiahe Henan Mansion is extremely quiet, and soldiers on watch patrol pass by the streets and alleys in the city from time to time.
The moon in the sky was covered by a dark cloud, and the whole world suddenly dimmed.
The watchman beat the broken gong in the streets and alleys, and the long sound was heard far away.
Under the cloud of war, the city was terribly quiet at night, and even the thieves who were stealing chickens and dogs were restrained a lot.
Because of the approach of Zhao Wen's army, in the past few days, Sun Chuanting sent out all his soldiers to watch the night in the city to prevent Zhao Wen's spies from entering.
At this time, Sun Chuanting was sitting in the study of the governor's yamen, lying on the desk, writing some plans for defending the city and how to deal with the enemy.
The candles in the room were burning quietly, flickering and emitting a spark from time to time.
Sun Chuanting put down the writing brush in his hand, glanced at the candle that was about to burn out, and then took out a new candle from the bamboo basket under the desk to replace the candle that was about to burn out.
After finishing all this, Sun Chuanting picked up the cold tea on the table and poured it directly into his stomach.
Sun Chuanting rubbed his temples, forcing himself to be more energetic.
"Hey, 20 troops! Now I don't know how Zhao's 20 troops are arranged. If the 20 troops directly attack Henan, no matter what method is used, there is no way to stop Zhao's thief.
What is the origin of this thief Zhao, and where did he get these weird weapons? The horror is really unbelievable.
Is it true that he is a fairy in the sky, just like the rumors? Sun Chuanting stared blankly at the candles on the table, muttering to himself with worry.
"Bang bang bang!"
At this moment, the door of the study room rang suddenly, and a deep voice came in.
"Master, let's have some supper!" A middle-aged servant stood outside the door of the study, holding a food box in his hand, and said in a low voice while knocking on the door lightly.
"The door is unlocked, come in!" Sun Chuanting looked at the door of the study and yawned.
The servant pushed open the door of the study, walked in, and put the food box in his hand on the desk.
"Master, you have been working continuously for several hours, it's time to rest!"
The servant opened the food box, took out the food inside and put it on the table, while admonishing Sun Chuanting.
"Alas!" Chief Sun Chuanting sighed, "Rest? Everyone can rest at this time, but I can't.
Wen Xiangong said it well, the country has supported scholars for 20 and [-] years, and the day of righteous death is today.
Your Majesty treats me well, and I can't be ashamed of treating him with respect.How can I sleep now that the army of Zhao thieves is right in front of me? "
"But master, if you can't maintain your health well, how can you repay the emperor's favor?" The servant put the food in the food box on the desk neatly, and persuaded him.

Chapter 590 Huge Smoke and Dust
Sun Chuanting took the chopsticks from the servant's hand and began to eat.
Supper consisted of a bowl of white rice porridge and several side dishes. Although it was not very rich, Sun Chuanting ate it with great relish.
The servant looked at Sun Chuanting who was eating, heaved a long sigh, advised Sun Chuanting to rest early, and then retreated.
Not long after the servant left, there was a hasty knock on the door of the study.
Sun Chuanting looked at the door of the study room and thought it was the servant just now, so he asked with some doubts: "What happened? Why did you come back again? The door is unlocked, come in!"
With a creaking sound, the door of the study room was slowly opened.
However, it was not the servant who came in this time, but Wu Zhen.
Holding a secret letter in his hand, Wu Xuan walked to Sun Chuanting's side anxiously.
"My lord, something is wrong. Bandit Zhao has already arrived at the outskirts of the Yellow River defense line!" Wu Tong put the secret letter in front of Sun Chuanting, and looked at Sun Chuanting anxiously.
Sun Chuanting was taken aback, and hastily put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands.
"What? When did it happen?" Sun Chuanting really couldn't believe it. It was only half a month since he knew about Zhao Wenzeng's troops. Logically speaking, Zhao thief's speed could not be so fast.
Sun Chuanting hurriedly picked up the secret letter that Wu Tong put on the desk, opened the secret letter, and took out the letter inside.
Sun Chuanting took the letter and read it at a glance.
I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I see it.Sun Chuanting looked at the content on the letter paper, his face changed drastically.
"How could it be so fast? How could it be so fast? He has already reached the Yellow River defense line, and Zhao thief's Yebushou has reached the outer edge of the Yellow River defense line, which proves that Zhao thief will not be more than three days away from the Yellow River defense line. "Sun Chuanting put down the letter in his hand, and walked around the study anxiously.
Sun Chuanting took out a map of Henan and looked at it solemnly.
After a while, Sun Chuanting slapped the map on the table.
"Behind the Yellow River line of defense is Huaiqing Mansion. Huaiqing Mansion is less than two hundred miles away from Henan Mansion. If Zhao Bandit sends cavalry to speed up his horse, he will be able to reach the city of Henan Mansion in a day. At that time, once Henan Mansion is captured by Zhao Bandit Break through, and the whole of Henan will be in danger!"
Sun Chuanting looked at the map on the table, his face was full of panic.
"My lord, what should we do now?" Wu Tong looked at Sun Chuanting.
Sun Chuanting thought for a moment, and then said: "What else can we do? Of course, increase troops to the Yellow River defense line.
Now take my seal and notify all the troops stationed in the city to march towards the Yellow River defense line tomorrow morning.
After you come back, pack up your things and follow me to the Yellow River defense line.If I don't go, I won't be able to effectively command the war.I'm not there, so I'm a little worried! "
After speaking, Sun Chuanting rummaged through the study, took out his seal, and handed it to Wu Zhen.
Wu Zhen took Sun Chuanting's seal and turned to leave.
When Wu Zhen came back, Sun Chuanting had already packed up.
In the dark night, Sun Chuanting rode his horse and led his main barracks towards the Yellow River defense line.
……
The sun rose from the horizon, and after a night's journey, Sun Chuanting finally came to the military fort at the end of the Yellow River defense line.
Although Sun Chuanting's main barracks were small in number, only two or three thousand, they were all cavalry.
Because he was a cavalry soldier, Sun Chuanting was very fast. After running for almost a night, Sun Chuanting finally arrived at the end of the Yellow River defense line.
Sun Chuanting was resting and eating in the military fort at the end of the Yellow River defense line. After he finished his meal, he was about to lead his troops to the front of the Yellow River defense line. A group of cavalry sent by Sun Hai suddenly appeared at the gate of the last military fort. outside.
"Open the city gate, replace the horses, and report important military information to the Master Supervisor!" A group of cavalry stood on the edge of the moat outside the military fort, shouting loudly at the wall of the military fort. "This is our identity certificate, quickly open the city gate!"
The cavalry held their ID cards in their hands and waved them around.
"You send one person across the moat, remember, you can only send one person over.
After you come here, put your identity certificates in the basket we put down from the top of the city, and you can only come in after we check it out! "A soldier on the top of the city shouted loudly.
Now that Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses have reached the forefront of the Yellow River defense line, the defenders in these military forts have to be cautious.
The sound fell, and the soldiers on the top of the city slowly lowered the suspension bridge above the moat.
After the drawbridge was lowered, a soldier stepped out of the crowd and walked across the drawbridge.
As soon as they walked across the suspension bridge, the soldiers on the top of the city put the suspension bridge away.
After the identity check was correct, the soldiers on the top of the city shouted loudly to the outside: "There is no need to change the horses, the Master Supervisor is in the military fortress, come into the city!"
A quarter of an hour later, the defenders in the military castle brought the leader of the group of soldiers to the place where Sun Chuanting was.
Sun Chuanting was sitting in the garrison yamen in the military fort, and was about to get up and set off when the defenders in the city brought the soldier commander to him.
"I have seen Master Supervisor, this is Master Sun's secret letter, he asked the little one to hand it to you!" The soldier commander took out an envelope sealed with wax from his arms and handed it to Sun Chuanting.
Sun Chuanting took the envelope from the soldier's hand, checked the seal and opened it.
Sun Chuanting took out the letter paper and squinted his eyes to read it.
The content of the secret letter is that the night outside the military castle did not accept the situation last night.
According to the secret letter, according to their one-night observation, the thieves who appeared outside the city were basically all cavalry, and there was not a single infantry.
This group of cavalry did not launch an attack on their military fort, and there was no sign of attacking their military fort, and there was not even a siege machine in sight.
Judging from the posture of these soldiers, they should be exploring the surrounding terrain.
Moreover, although there are many people who do not collect at night, they are not the size of an army of 20.
Therefore, Sun Hai said in the letter that it should be Zhao Thief's striker who appeared on the periphery of the Yellow River defense line at this time.
Sun Chuanting closed the secret letter in his hand, and looked at the soldier commander, "How long has it been since the letter was sent out? The secret letter said that there are bandits outside the city. How did you avoid them and never accept them?" Suppression, came here?"
The appearance of these people was so sudden that it was hard for Sun Chuanting not to doubt it.
"My lord, this morning, there were bandits outside the city, and we couldn't leave the city.
But at Chenshi, the number of bandits outside the city suddenly decreased for some unknown reason, so we took this opportunity to run out and report the news. "The soldier commander explained in detail.
The reason why the number of Ye Bu Shou outside Junbao City decreased this morning was because Song Hu was preparing to rush through the defense line of the Yellow River, so he shrank his troops.
"My lord, the identities of these people have been checked, and there is no problem!" The guard in the military fort stood beside Sun Chuanting and said to Sun Chuanting.
Sun Chuanting let out a long breath, and finally let go of his hanging heart.
"My lord, it's strange that there is a sudden decrease in the number of Yebuyu people outside the military castle!" Wu Yan moved to Sun Chuanting's side and said solemnly.
Sun Chuanting looked at Wu Tong, "What do you mean?"
"My lord, think about it, according to what this soldier said, the number of night hunters outside the city has suddenly decreased, which is really abnormal.
Zhao thief's soldiers and horses are not thieves like Li Zicheng. If there is no weirdness, why does the number of nights not collected suddenly decrease at this time?Said no, Zhao thief is preparing to attack the Yellow River defense line!
My lord, in my opinion, this matter is definitely weird! "Wu Xuan looked at Sun Chuanting and said what was in his heart.
"What you said makes sense!" Sun Chuanting stroked the beard on his chin and said solemnly.
"My lord, let's not go to the front of the Yellow River defense line for the time being, let's go together after the army arrives!" Wu Zhen looked at Sun Chuanting.
Sun Chuanting pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily, "Listen to you, let's not set off for now, wait here for the arrival of the army, and then go to the front together!"
……
Standing on the wall of the military castle, Sun Chuanting looked at the setting sun in the west and asked, "Where is the army now?"
Wu Sheng said: "My lord, according to the news that came back, the army is now approaching Huaiqing Mansion, and it is estimated that they will arrive here at noon the day after tomorrow."
"The speed is a bit slow. If Bandit Zhao really attacks Henan Mansion with an army of 20, with Bandit Zhao's strength, it might have been taken by Bandit Zhao at noon the day after tomorrow!" Sun Chuanting cast his gaze to the north.
Wu Zhen let out a long breath, "My lord, there is no way to do this!"
At this moment, a huge cloud of smoke suddenly appeared in the north.
