After Fu Wang finished speaking, he sneered.

"Father, do you mean that Ma Tingyu is lying to us?" Zhu Yousong's eyes lit up, and he looked at King Fu.

"Isn't this obvious? If you can figure it out, Zhao thief must be able to figure it out too. If Zhao thief is really that stupid, it's impossible for him to become so powerful in such a short period of time.

Therefore, Ma Tingyu must be deceiving us father and son, nothing more than trying to trick us into giving him money.Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, you, Ma Tingyu, dared to deceive the widow. "

"Ha ha!"

Fu Wang sneered again and again.

"Father, what should we do now? Should we send someone to expose them?" Zhu Yousong asked.

King Fu shook his head, "There's no need to expose them, we just need to wait quietly.

Now that the army of Zhao thieves is approaching the city, Ma Tingyu must be more anxious than us, so we don't care at all. "

.........

The land was quiet before dawn, and Luoyang City was shrouded in darkness.

In Luoyang City, except for the barking of dogs, there were almost no other sounds in the silence.

The servants in the magistrate's yamen were patrolling the streets and alleys. They were walking on the streets of Luoyang City, yawning non-stop.

A team of seven or eight yamen servants walked through a street, and the yamen servant who was walking in the front stopped suddenly.

The yamen servant who was following him didn't pay attention, and bumped into his back directly.

"what happened?"

The yamen servant behind him looked at him suspiciously.

The leading yamen servant pointed in the direction of the city gate with a solemn expression, "Did you hear anything? Why do I feel that the Zhao thieves outside the city are attacking the city?"

"How can there be any sound? There is no sound at all. As long as Zhao thief and the others are not crazy, it is impossible to attack the city at this time. You must be too nervous." The yamen servant behind him shook his head and comforted him.

"Really? Maybe I'm really too nervous." The leading yamen servant let out a long breath, soothing his tense nerves.

He has been patrolling the city for several nights, and now that Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses are approaching the city, it is inevitable that he will be nervous.

The leading yamen servant rubbed his temples, then walked forward.

Just after taking a few steps, a burst of trumpets suddenly reached his ears.

"What's that sound?" This time, he was sure that he didn't hear it wrong, but really heard it.

"It seems to be the sound of a horn!" The yamen servant who was following him also heard the sound of a horn.

"In less than an hour, it will be dawn, and the sound of the horn cannot be heard from the city wall.

Therefore, it is very likely that the sound of the horn came from outside the city.In other words, the thieves outside the city are getting ready to get up. "The leading yamen servant's eyes suddenly widened, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

After a while, he started to run, heading in the direction of the magistrate's yamen.

The defenders on the top of the city were still a little drowsy at first, but when they heard the sound of the horn that suddenly sounded, they instantly regained their energy.

"What's going on? What's going on?" A hundred households hurried up from under the city wall.

"My lord, the sound of the horn came from outside the city." A soldier hurried to Baihu.

Baihu's expression became solemn in an instant, "It came from outside the city, which means that the bandits outside the city have already started to wake up. Getting up so early has only one purpose, and that is to attack the city!"

At the same time, Ma Tingyu stood up from the bed, picked up the clothes on the hanger beside the bed, and walked out while getting dressed.

"What's going on?" Ma Tingyu walked out of the room and looked at the butler who woke her up.

Chapter 615

Ma Tingyu looked at the butler standing outside the door, who came to wake him up.

The housekeeper said solemnly: "Master, Wu Er, the yamen servant, came just now. He said that when he was patrolling, he suddenly heard a horn sound. He thought that the horn sound came from outside the city, so he rushed to inform grown ups."

"The sound of the horn? The warning on the top of the city is the bronze bell on the gate tower, and I remember that there is no horn on the gate. Therefore, the sound of the horn can only come from outside the city.

It's not yet dawn. If the horn sounds outside the city at this time, it means that thief Zhao is about to get up.

It is estimated that Zhao thief will attack the city at dawn. "Ma Tingyu's face was gloomy. He really didn't expect Zhao Wen to attack the city in such a hurry and didn't give him any time.

The speed under Ma Tingyu's feet couldn't help being a little faster. When he came to the front yard, the yamen servant named Wu Er hurried up to meet him.

"My lord, I heard the sound of a horn when I was patrolling the city just now. It probably came from outside the city, so I hurried to report to my lord." Wu Er looked at Ma Tingyu and said hastily.

Ma Tingyu's brows were tightly locked together, forming a Sichuan character.

He looked at the housekeeper who was following him, "Now notify all the officials in the city to come to see me. Maybe Bandit Zhao will attack the city at dawn."

The butler hurried out of the gate and ran outside.

"Tell me what happened just now in detail, don't miss anything." Ma Tingyu looked at Wu Er.

Wu Er explained in detail what happened just now.

Not long after speaking, there were hurried footsteps outside the door.

Ma Tingyu hurried to the door, only to see a few soldiers coming towards him in the dark.

The leading soldier was the previous Baihu. When Ma Tingyu walked out of the gate, he recognized Ma Tingyu instantly by the lantern next to the door frame.

He hurriedly shouted: "My lord, urgent military situation, urgent military situation, the bandit soldiers outside the city have woken up, the bandit soldiers outside the city have woken up."

"It seems that thief Zhao is really planning to attack Luoyang City!" Ma Tingyu looked at the hundreds of households who came over, "Go back now and transfer all the soldiers and horses to the city wall, as well as the young and strong recruited by the official before. Adjust the city wall together.

Bandit Zhao is not an ordinary person, he must stick to the city wall. "

"As ordered!"

Baihu shouted, turned around and left with his guards.

Not long after, all the officials in Luoyang City gathered in the magistrate's yamen.

At this time, Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses outside the city had all gotten up and were cooking.

Over the barracks, wisps of fragrance wafted.

The water vapor in the pot rose from the gap in the lid and rose into the sky, forming a thin layer of mist over the barracks for a while.

Zhao Wen sat in the big tent, drinking a bowl of millet porridge.

There were several dishes of side dishes in front of him, Zhao Wen took the side dishes and drank up the millet porridge in the bowl.

After finishing the millet porridge, Zhao Wen rolled the heated beef cubes with flatbreads and ate them.

After eating, Zhao Wen drank a cup of strong tea.

Zhao Wen put down his teacup and walked out of the big tent.

He looked at the dark sky and said: "It is less than half an hour before dawn, and the whole army is ordered to assemble immediately after eating, and to attack the city after dawn.

At the same time, let the artillery push out all the artillery for me, build an artillery position, and wait for the military order. "

Standing beside Zhao Wen, Li Xiaosan hurried to the barracks with Zhao Wen's order.

After a while, the artillerymen began to transport the artillery outside.

Because it was only bombing the city gates, the artillery did not choose to use 152mm cannon howitzers, but mortars.

After all, it is very easy to bomb the city gate with a 120mm mortar.

As time passed, Zhao Wen stepped onto the horse and moved outside the barracks under the protection of his personal guards.

The soldiers and horses in the barracks had also assembled and moved towards the city wall under the leadership of the general.

When the sun began to brew below the horizon and light began to appear on the eastern horizon, the army was assembled.

Outside the four walls of Luoyang City, Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses were assembled.

These soldiers and horses stayed in place quietly, like terracotta warriors and horses, motionless.

The horses in the army snorted from time to time, adding some noise to the silent army.

The artillery position has been built, the gunner opened the ammunition box, stood beside the artillery, quietly waiting for the military order.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Luoyang City in front of them.

The first ray of sunlight emerges from below the horizon, and the light appears on the earth.

The defenders on the top of the city finally saw the situation outside the city clearly.

"No, Zhao thief really wants to attack the city!" A guarding soldier looked at the orderly army outside the city and shouted loudly.

The defenders on Chengtou began to stir up trouble, the most serious of which were those young and strong who had been recruited for a few days.

As for the other defenders, there was also restlessness, but it was not as serious as Qingzhuang.

The soldiers and horses left behind in Luoyang City were nothing more than miscellaneous soldiers that Sun Chuanting didn't like, and there was no way to compare with the soldiers and horses in Sun Chuanting's hands.

The soldiers and horses in Sun Chuanting's hands trembled in fear when facing Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses, let alone these miscellaneous soldiers.

A gust of morning wind blew, and the military flags in Zhao Wen's army rolled up.

The red tassels on their helmets, except for the soldiers who had passed through the Guards Battalion, kept churning like waves.

Zhao Wen rode a war horse to the front of the northern city wall, and looked at the city wall in front of him quietly.

The sun rose slowly from the horizon, and the sunlight on the earth gradually increased.

When the sun jumps completely above the horizon, the sky and the earth are much brighter.

Zhao Wen pulled out the waist knife from his waist and pointed at Luoyang City, "Pass my military order to let the artillery start bombing the city gate in a quarter of an hour. The first echelon of infantry is ready to enter the city once the city is broken."

Zhao Wen's voice echoed on the ground, and Li Xiaosan led the messengers to convey Zhao Wen's order to all the barracks.

Time passed by every minute and every second, Ma Tingyu and other officials gathered in the hall of the magistrate's yamen, like ants on a hot pot, circling around non-stop.

"My lord, the thieves are about to attack the city, and their soldiers and horses have already assembled, and the soldiers and horses are so densely packed that they are too numerous to count!"

At this moment, a soldier rushed directly into the hall without caring about his superiority.

Ma Tingyu looked at the soldier who rushed in.His face was horrified, his eyeballs were bulging, and his mouth was wide open, "What? Bandit Zhao attacked the city?"

"My lord, Bandit Zhao's soldiers and horses have already assembled. Bandit Zhao's soldiers and horses are densely packed, all outside the four city gates. Bandit Zhao wants to take our Luoyang City in one fell swoop and defeat it directly."

"What should I do now? What should I do now? What should I do now?"

Ma Tingyu fell silent, and the other officials in the hall were walking back and forth in the hall in a panic.

Ma Tingyu sat on the chair blankly, took off the official hat from his head, and put it on the table next to him.

"Everyone, Bandit Zhao didn't choose to encircle the city, but to attack the city from all sides, which means that he has absolute strength to take Luoyang City.

Ladies and gentlemen, is thief Zhao's real strength something we can resist? I'm afraid Luoyang City is about to fall. "

Ma Tingyu looked at the officials in the hall in dismay. At the beginning, Ma Tingyu's voice was relatively fluent, but she trembled as she spoke.

"My lord, what should we do?" Liu Zeli approached Ma Tingyu and asked hastily.

"I've been here for so many days, but I've only collected a thousand young men. These people, together with the defenders in the city, can't defend the city wall at all. The fall of Luoyang City is already a certainty. Everyone, let's work together. I don't want to embarrass you either.

You, you, ... alone ... escape ... your lives! "

Ma Tingyu seemed to have exhausted all his strength. When he finished speaking, it was as if all his strength had been exhausted, and his whole body instantly became sluggish.

"My lord, what should we do if we leave?" Liu Zeli looked at Ma Tingyu.

"Hey, don't worry about me, don't worry about me, you run for your life alone. Take off your official uniforms, take off your official hats, put on ordinary people's clothes, and run for your lives." Ma Tingyu leaned on the back of the chair Going up, staring blankly at the roof, waved at them feebly.

Liu Zeli sighed and said: "My lord, if you don't leave, you won't leave. I will stay with you today. If any of you want to escape, you can leave."

After Liu Zeli finished speaking, he sat beside Ma Tingyu.

For the remaining officials, you look at me, and I look at you.

"Are the two adults really not going to leave?" An official looked at the two of them.

Ma Tingyu didn't speak, just waved his hand.

Liu Zeli shouted: "You people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, if you want to leave, get out!"

"Take care, my lords. Some of the lower officials are old and some are younger. It's not that the lower officials don't want to guard the city, it's really..."

An official stepped back, arching his hands at the two of them, and when he exited the hall, he flicked up his robe and ran away.
