Chapter 2
The streets were already in chaos, women and children were crying everywhere, and the common people fled in a panic, it was a total mess.

Su Tang pulled his hood tighter, thinking about how to deal with the bandits outside the city.

As Lin Qing walked up the tower, he could hear the clamor outside the city gate from a distance. Looking outside the city wall, there were thousands of people in a dense crowd, each of them holding a weapon, with fierce eyes.

If they were allowed to break into the city, not to mention the looting of money and food, the women in the entire city would suffer.

Su Tang looked outside the city wall, where the bandits were standing one by one, obviously not just a village.

"Where did they come from? How could there be so many?" Su Tang asked Lin Qing who was beside him.

I saw Lin Qing pointing to the mountain range farther away, "There is the Lingyun Mountain Range, which is located in the center of our Leng'an Country, Chenyang Country and Xizhao Country. These."

Su Tang now remembered what Yingyue said before, saying that it was enfeoffment, but it was exile. It sounds good to say that exile is good. Those who sent her here to the emperor clearly wanted her life.

Faced with such a situation, even if she had great abilities, she would not be able to lead a group of sallow and emaciated common people to resist these ferocious gangsters. In the end, the only way to die was to be captured by the bandits.

Yingyue grew up in the palace, and the maid who can serve the eldest daughter of the emperor must be from an innocent family. When has she ever seen such a scene, she tugged on the veil tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Master, we But what should I do?"

"If it doesn't work, I'll lead my troops down to fight them." Lin Qing said angrily.

"Don't panic, let me think about it." Su Tang calmed everyone's emotions.

Now the only thing that can be counted on is the system, if the system helps, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, so he said in his heart, "If you are still watching the fun, I am afraid that this fief will be gone as soon as you get it.

"It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I'm powerless." The system doesn't want to do this either. If the city is gone, it's okay, but if the host is also dead, then it is a mission failure and will be destroyed.

"You are the system. Didn't you say that you are all very good? Why are you useless at the critical moment?" Su Tang's heart was pounding. If even the system said that, then today might really be over.

"I am the system, but I also have rules. I can get you whatever you want, but the premise is that you have to exchange it with reputation points. You only have five reputation points now, and you can't afford to annihilate so many man's weapon."

"How did the prestige value come from?"

"It means that every commoner who recognizes you can accumulate some reputation points for you. Perhaps this place doesn't know about the arrival of you, the new city lord, and few people are loyal to you."

Su Tang gritted his teeth, thinking that no matter what, he couldn't surrender, so he had no choice but to ask, "What can I buy with five points of prestige?"

The system quickly analyzed things that might come in handy for her, and broadcast one by one, "A crossbow, ten barrels of oil, and two ordinary bows and arrows."

"Stop, ten barrels of oil."

One or two weapons were useless, the amount of oil was high, and it was easy to ignite. She didn't need to wipe out the bandits, she just needed to deter them and make them retreat.

"Lin Qing, ask someone to prepare bows and arrows, cloth strips, ropes, and tin cans." Su Tang quickly ordered.

At this time, Lin Qing didn't bother to ask so many questions, so he hurriedly asked someone to pick it up.

People in this era have refined iron tools and used them skillfully in daily life, but they are lagging behind in other aspects.

For example, the paper used is still rough and yellowed hemp paper, most people still use bamboo slips, and rich people also use silk to write. No oil has been discovered, let alone gunpowder.

The person who picked up the things came back after a while, and the system also put ten barrels of oil on the tower. At this time, everyone's attention was always observing the movement below, but they didn't notice the ten barrels of oil that were half a person tall. When did it appear here.

"Wrap a strip of cloth around the arrowhead, tie it with a rope and soak it in the oil barrel over there for later use, and then put the oil in an iron can and seal it for my command," Su Tang said.

"What is this oil?" Lin Qing asked beside him.

"I don't have time to say so much at this time, just do as I say."

People's heads flickered on the tower, and the bandits below didn't know what they were doing. Seeing that they hadn't opened the city gate for a long time, they became annoyed and shouted even louder.

"If you don't open the city gate, we will attack by force."

"Since you are ignorant, when we go in, you will suffer."

"Take away the women, kill the men, leave no one behind."

"I'll give you one last chance, or we won't be polite."

"."

The bandits' patience was almost exhausted, and they were ready to move, as if they were planning to attack at any time.

Su Tangrang's preparations on the tower are ready.

Lin Qing who was on the side said, "Tell them, if you retreat now, you are in a hurry, otherwise no one will think about leaving later. Remember, your tone must be firm, so that they will feel that you have a plan in mind."

"Can this work?" Lin Qing asked anxiously, even the soldiers around didn't know where the courage of this woman came from, did they just rely on these arrows and the so-called oil?

"Just do as I say, and your tone must be firm." This is to plant a seed in the hearts of those bandits, a seed of fear.

Lin Qing rubbed his hands vigorously, wiping off the cold sweat from his palms, even Su Tang became nervous, success or failure depended on it.

After taking a few deep breaths and calming down, Lin Qing cleared his throat and said, "Listen, gangsters below, if you retreat now, there is still time, otherwise none of you will leave later."

After finishing speaking, his back was already wet with cold sweat. This was tantamount to provoking those ferocious bandits, and provoking them at this time was a very unwise decision.

Sure enough, the bandits below burst out laughing, they had dealt with Yanyang City for so long, they knew exactly how much Yanyang City was, and at this time, they dared to slap their swollen faces to pretend to be fat.

If it weren't for keeping the people of Yanyang City from planting crops, they would come to rob food twice a year, and Yanyang City would have become an empty city long ago.

"Don't be so stubborn, open the city gate quickly, and you can still have a way to survive, otherwise, after we storm in, none of you will be able to survive." A big bearded man shouted from the bottom of the city tower.

As soon as this sentence came out, there was a commotion on the city tower. Their wives and children were all in the city, and no one wanted to die.

"Don't be afraid, as long as we guard the city gate, they won't be able to attack." These words are used to comfort everyone, but also to comfort ourselves.

Even when they were in the capital, the princes were fighting openly and secretly, and they would never want to face death so nakedly now.

In June, the scorching sun hangs in the sky and shines on people, making people feel a little bit more angry.

Seeing the people in Yanyang City shrinking their heads and not coming out, those bandits finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Rush, break open their city gate." The big man gave an order.

Pieces of bandits began to rush towards the city gate.

"Master, what should I do, what should I do?" Yingyue almost cried out.
