The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 290 Internal strife breaks out at the critical moment

Lao Liu's hope was destined to be dashed.

At the third watch, a fire light lit up far outside the city gate, and then snaked towards it like a fire dragon.

Old Liu was shocked: "Girl, I'm afraid there are a lot of people there, maybe a thousand people?"

Jing Li took a telescope and observed it carefully, and then said: "It's not a thousand people, there should be five or six hundred people!"

It was just a bluffing trick. One person held two torches in his hands and distanced himself. From a distance, it looked very majestic and scary.

"Brother Huang, shout to them!" Jingli stared blankly into the distance, the killings in her past and present life making her numb and bored.

What's more, most of these are people affected by the disaster. If possible, she doesn't want to point the knife at them.

Huang Biao held a loudspeaker modified by Jingli and shouted to the moving crowd: "Fellow folks, I know that you have all suffered a disaster, and you will only instigate others as a last resort to try and take a chance."

"But if you embark on this road, there will be no turning back after a narrow escape. As long as you are willing to return to your place of origin, the government will definitely give you resettlement if it has free hands!"

"If you must attack forcefully, then don't blame us for having no eyesight with our swords!"

Many people in the team of hungry people began to give up. They wanted to give it a try, but they did not want to risk their lives.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers are ready, if they continue to fight, they will inevitably die.

"Don't listen to him," someone among the hungry people shouted: "The county magistrate, that dog official, is already dead. There must be no one left in the city, so he is shouting like this. I hope we don't go there so that they can survive!"

"Yes, if we beat them, we will escape death. If we don't beat them, we will have nothing to eat or drink. Escape will mean death. Everyone is going to die. It's better to fight to the death!"

"Kill them, the king will be defeated and the enemy will be defeated. The emperor will take turns to sit down. Who knows who will be at this year's house!"

Huang Biao shouted at the top of his lungs. The fire dragon team showed no intention of retreating and approached the city gate step by step.

Jing Li said coldly: "Brother Huang, there's no need to shout anymore. This is organized and planned. We won't retreat so easily. We should make preparations."

The fire dragon team soon arrived not far from the city tower. The hungry people there shouted in the distance: "Old guard of the city, if you open the door quickly, we can still save your family's life."

"If you refuse to leave, if we go in now, your family will be completely destroyed!"

Old Liu was furious and immediately cursed: "You bastard, come here and see if I'm afraid of you grandsons!"

While they were scolding each other downstairs, they heard screams from the person in front: "There's a trap! There's a trap!"

"These dog officials have dug a trap at the city gate!"

The team of hungry people stopped, and a bearded man came forward with a torch and said: "It's just a few traps. There are many of us, so we can get through even with people filling them."

Immediately, he called the people behind him: "You all get down, hold on and let the people above pass by!"

"Lao Fan, what do you mean? You want us to be a stepping stone?"

The people who were stopped were hungry people from Anxi County, and they immediately refused. The trap was dark inside, and who knew what was inside. They planned to come here to grab a handful, but they had no intention of using it as cannon fodder. .

It was the bearded man who was called Lao Fan: "When everyone elected me to be the boss, they had to obey my orders. Why are you unwilling now?"

"I tell you, now that you've embarked on this path, don't even think about looking back. Either you step in for me, or your family will be confiscated and exterminated by the imperial court!"

Those hungry people were not easy to mess with: "Lao Fan, you're a fucking bird. You're treating us like human beings. We won't do it any more!" A group of people became anxious. They stopped fighting when they came to the city gate and turned around. About to leave.

Lao Fan glanced at the people around him.

The next moment, something unexpected happened. The people around Lao Fan drew their swords and wiped the necks of the hungry people. After a while of massacre, they piled the bodies into a pit.

"Can't we get over it now!" Old Fan said sadly: "There are also those who are disobedient, please fill them in for me. I must capture this county today."

People who went out last night sent word back that there was no defense at all in the county, and there were only a few hundred people at the gate, so there was nothing to worry about.

This turn of events frightened the hungry people who were nearby so much that they understood to some extent that this old Fan was not of the same kind as them, and fear arose in his heart.

Jing Li held a telescope and saw things very clearly from the tower. She casually snatched the trumpet from Huang Biao's hand and shouted down: "Fellow folks, don't be fooled!"

"You are the victims of the disaster, but these people are not. They are the White Lotus Army who sneaked in to confuse right and wrong."

"They just want to use you as a stepping stone. Once the city gate is breached, they will kill you with their backhand."

"Think about it carefully, do you really know them? Who is related to them? Do you know which village they are from?"

After Jingli shouted, many people immediately became suspicious, yes, who are these people?
Who do you know?No one seemed to know which village it was from. At that time, they just felt that there was no way to survive. As soon as their brains got hot, they ran away with others.

Now that I think about it, no one really knows what this group of people does.

Are they really the White Lotus Army?
Jing Li continued to shout: "If you don't know, just retreat quickly. The government will only look for these White Lotus Army to settle accounts, and it has nothing to do with you!"

Lao Fan was furious: "Don't listen to this little girl. How can we be the White Lotus Army? We are all victims of the disaster who cannot survive."

"Then tell me which village you are from?" someone in the crowd shouted.

Jing Li couldn't hear clearly from above, but he also knew that the people below were beginning to have differences, and shouted to the people below again: "Everyone, just because he just used fellow villagers to fill the hole, you can tell that this person is not a good person, and he must be in trouble." He took human lives."

"I'll give you two-quarters of an hour. If you are willing to leave, I won't hold you accountable. If you insist on risking your life, I won't mind giving you a ride."

After Jingli finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the archers on the city wall took their positions. Under the bright firelight, the archers above were clearly illuminated.

The hungry people below began to feel frightened. Didn’t they say that there was no one in the city?

Where did so many people, at least thousands of them, come from?
Huang Biao chuckled to himself, you are not the only ones who know how to bluff, we can also do it, and we will do it more naturally than you.

These archers were half mixed. They all held toy bows and arrows made by old craftsmen in the city, painted them and held them in their hands to pretend to scare people.

The Xiong brothers were also in the crowd: "Brother, do you think the girl upstairs is the girl from Beishui Village?"

Xiong Da narrowed his eyes: "I thought it was that girl when I heard the voice!"

Xiong Wudao: "Then what else are we going to fight for? We can't kill our benefactor, right?"

Xiong Si echoed: "There must be something unexpected happening in this city. Brother, we can't just follow this nonsense. That group of people probably have bad intentions as the girl said!"

The Xiong brothers were discussing in low voices, but something happened to the hungry people on the other side.
