Chapter seven hundred and forty-ninth city gate attack
The killing at the gate of Linchuan County came without warning, and it happened in a situation that no one expected.
The soldiers at the city gate did not react at all. When the blade entered the body, they finally understood what was going on. The enemy attack was an enemy attack! They had no way to say the words in their hearts, and there was only blood that gushed out from the wound.
Ten soldiers from Dong Zhuo's army at the gate of the city were killed and died without any resistance. The carriage walking at the end of the carriage was particularly ruthless, fast, accurate, efficient and fast, completely with the purpose of killing the other party at the fastest speed.
Many caravans and pedestrians who were preparing to enter the city were still stunned when they saw this scene and did not react at all. When they saw clearly the blood flowing on the ground and the bodies of the soldiers who were thumping on the ground, they suddenly reacted.
"Murder!"
Screams came one after another, and the panicked crowd ran around. No one knew who killed these soldiers, but it did not prevent them from guessing in the most dangerous situation. In short, leave this place first, and the next battle will definitely be inevitable. If you stay in this place, wait for a while and the sword is gone, they will be the ordinary people who will suffer.
This was a very ordinary day, and it was very common, but when the bloody scene occurred, anyone knew that an accident was coming. If the army in the city could guard the county town, it would be fine. If the guard could not be kept, and if they were captured by the enemy who came from some unknown place, the people in the city would fall into an unknown and dangerous situation.
"It shouldn't be a Qiang person." The manager of a caravan stopped and looked at what was happening at the city gate with the caravan behind him.
In addition to the ten soldiers guarding the city gate at the entrance of the city gate, there were also soldiers guarding the end of the downstream corridor at the other end of the city gate. However, they were also dead. The incident happened almost instantly and was killed by people in the caravan.
The reason why he was able to stand here calmly and watch the changes was because he knew that the team of people who came to attack Linchuan County with caravans as cover was definitely not Qiang people. If the Qiang people were not like this, how could they have such a plan? If they wanted to attack the county town, they would have come here a long time ago. There would be no concealment at all, and they would disguise themselves.
"Manager Wang, will we go?" A guy next to him asked cautiously, his eyes full of worry.
"No, just wait and see. If we leave, it will be difficult for us to find a place to stay today. Compared to the wilderness, a county town that has just experienced the war is much safer." Manager Wang said.
"But, Manager Wang, who knows what the real identity of this caravan that suddenly appeared in this situation? If he attacks us caravans, it will be too late to leave." The guy continued to work hard, trying to persuade Manager to leave.
"Don't be afraid. As long as it's not a Qiang person, that's fine." Tantan said, Manager Wang looked confident.
Seeing Manager Wang’s appearance, the concern in his heart couldn’t help but ease a lot. After all, compared to him, he had experienced many storms and waves. He was a manager and would not put himself in danger. Such a real reason, the reason why Manager Wang was so calm is really curious.
The guy asked curiously: "Why can't it be a Qiang person?"
"Qian people? How dare the Qiang people step into the territory of the Dong family?" Manager Wang did not answer the friend in a positive way, but instead asked him.
The guy looked puzzled and puzzled. He knew that there was a flash of inspiration in his mind and blurted out: "So that's it!"
"With the power of the Dong family, the Qiang tribes would never dare to put their hearts on this, and they could not hide themselves at all. Moreover, those Qiang tribes that were dissatisfied with the Dong family and who were against the Dong family were basically destroyed."
"As long as it is not Qiang people, there will be no threat to the people in the city. Instead, in order to stabilize, we have to come forward to maintain public order in the city. After all, this is not the land of Qiang people. Qiang people can just take a wave and leave. No matter how cruel it is, it is the nature of Qiang people. But if local forces do this, if all the insiders are not killed, once the news spreads, their reputation will inevitably be ruined!" The guy turned to Manager Wang's inquiring eyes.
"Not bad." Manager Wang nodded with certainty, and couldn't help but secretly pay attention to this guy's experience. Not everyone could see this clearly.
The caravans around who were leaving and the running pedestrians were completely unnecessary. As long as they were not Qiang people, the war would basically not spread to them. Even with the cruelty of Dong Zhuo of Dong family, that side was facing Qiang people.
If it were Qiang people, it would be too late to leave now. However, based on his experience of dealing with Qiang people for many years and walking the trade route of Liangzhou, this would definitely not be Qiang people.
The soldiers who disguised themselves as caravans and killed the people turned a deaf ear to the shouts around them. The cold eyes just glanced at the people and took them back. They raised their steps, didn't say much, stood at the city gate together in a tacit understanding, and became the one guarding the city gate now.
The people who were still screaming in horror by the cold eyes shivered, their whole body became stiff, and they felt extremely frightened in their hearts. They were afraid for a lifetime, and the loud shout that was holding in their throats was swallowed by him.
At this time, the surroundings became very quiet again. If the corpse in soldiers' armor was not lying on the ground as obviously as the corpse in the army, the scene now seemed like soldiers guarding the city gate. However, the city gate was now deserted and the people did not dare to scream, for fear of attracting the attention of these uninvited guests, so they did not move slowly at all, so they ran towards the distance. Anyway, they would not dare to enter the county town again, and passed by those ferocious people. Isn't this seeking death?
Although there were only a dozen people at the gate of the city and a very small number, no one dared to act rashly. Even those caravans with armed forces were the same. No one knew whether they would attract the other party's thunder attack. Compared to helping the county garrison, their own lives were still important.
"What's going on with the cry below? Killing?" A captain looked down in confusion on the head of the city wall.
He clearly saw the people and caravans running away in a panic. When he wanted to look at the city gate, he found that his vision was blocked. He had no idea what was going on with the murder. Could it be that there was a downtown city at the city gate, or was there a fight and a death?
"You, you, you. Come down with me and take a look, and the others are standing there." The captain pointed out more than twenty soldiers and asked them to go down the city with him to take a look.
In his opinion, this is just a common provocation, and even if someone is killed, it is easy to deal with. It turns out that he only wanted to bring a dozen people down to take a look. I guess the soldiers at the city gate solved the problem when he arrived, but after thinking about it, he decided to take more than twenty soldiers.
No matter what happens, they can handle it. They are not the yamen runners in the city, but soldiers who have been on the battlefield. For some rangers and ordinary people, it is a simple matter.
He didn't think of this at all about someone coming to attack the city. He didn't even see the shadow of the army at all. What city should he attack? I'm afraid it's not because of the coming to die. The 800 soldiers in the city dared to come, and he dared to let them all go.
He rushed to take people down the city wall. Although he knew that it was impossible to do something big, the lieutenant still had to take a look. Now, at this critical moment, we should not be too careless. The army has great efforts to investigate and punish those who neglect their duties. Once a small lieutenant like him is found, it is possible that he will be beaten into a small soldier.
As soon as he got off the city, he led his men to the city gate and happened to see several carriages parked there, blocking the passage at the city gate. I don’t know what happened, but the guys in the carriage ran towards the city in panic, not even caring about the goods on the carriages.
"Stop it! What happened before?" He asked loudly, stopped, and drew out the long sword vigilantly. Seeing the performance of the caravan, he paid more and more attention to what happened at the city gate.
After seeing the movements of the captain, the more than 20 soldiers behind him drew their long swords.
Seeing this, the caravan folk who were about to scatter past them quickly stopped, with panic on their faces, but after seeing the soldiers, they obviously became much weaker.
"Yes, yes..." A businessman who led the lead gasped, intermittently, and could not speak out in full.
"What's there?" The captain became anxious when he heard the merchant stuttered for so long and hadn't talked about the main topic.
He walked towards the merchant, grabbed his collar, and pulled him over. The first time he pulled it, he didn't move. The captain was obviously stunned, but he didn't believe in evil, but still didn't move.
"These merchants are really well-eated, they are so strong! They are all fat sheep!" The captain did not pull the merchant several times and said to himself.
The captain let go of his hand, and thrust the long sword in his hand, which was extremely threatening. He asked coldly: "Tell me quickly, what happened at the city gate?"
"It's the enemy that is coming." The merchant smiled.
The captain suddenly had an alarm in his heart. Just as he was about to say something, the merchant had approached him. A short knife suddenly appeared in the merchant's hand, and with the light of the knife flashed, blood suddenly appeared.
The captain opened his eyes wide, and there was a wound in his throat, and blood kept splashing out from it.
He still felt disbelief in his eyes, and his lips wanted to say something, but the long knife in his hand fell to the ground and made a "clang" sound.
