Chapter 40 Defending the City
Liang Ye's old face turned red. He asked the convicts to stay at the city gate. Once the bandits attacked, if they killed ten of them, he would let them fake their death and escape. He couldn't do more than that.

Because he had no idea which direction the bandits were coming from, he hesitated and thought it would be safest to defend the county town.

Yu Chaosheng bowed to Liang Ye and said, "Captain Liang, you are so righteous."

Liang Ye laughed dryly and pulled his lips together. This was also the suggestion Yu Chaosheng had made to him before.

There are five people in the Liu family, which means that Yu Chaosheng and Pan Yingying have to kill at least 50 bandits.

He looked at the small figures of the two people opposite him and wondered if he had been tricked.

Yu Chaosheng took out two dry biscuits from his pocket and handed one to Liang Ye, "Captain Liang, fill your stomach. We will have a tough battle soon."

The biscuit was so dry and hard, like a brick. Liang Ye had sharp eyes and noticed two small teeth marks on the edge of the biscuit.

He raised his hand to call the old man selling noodles, "Excuse me, three bowls of whistle noodles!"

The old man smiled, responded, and started cooking noodles skillfully.

Liang Ye then pushed back the dry biscuit that Yu Chaosheng handed over, "Young Master, put it away quickly. I'll treat you to this meal."

Yu Chaosheng and Pan Yingying looked at each other and said in unison, "How can this be so embarrassing?"

Liang Ye didn't care. It was just two bowls of noodles. He, Liang Ye, was not the stingy person.

"Eat as much as you want. I don't need those few coppers."

……

……

After eating noodles, Feng Er and his group came back with supplies. Liang Ye did not rush him to send the supplies out of the city. Instead, he let them stay at the noodle stall and have a bowl of noodles each.

Not long after they finished eating, a loud shout came from the city gate, "There are bandits! Bandits are attacking the city!"

Liang Ye's expression froze. Just as he was about to speak, the young couple were no longer at the table. He looked up and saw that they were almost at the city gate, each holding a gleaming weapon in their hands.

Liang Ye: ...

Is this for real?
He chased after them with the long knife in his hand. The soldier guarding the gate was about to close the gate, but Liang Ye grabbed him and said, "Don't close it yet! Can't you see there are so many people outside?"

The gatekeeper glared at him. There were only fugitives outside, and they had no power to fight back against the armed bandits. If the city gate was not closed, what would they do if the bandits rushed in?
Seeing this, Liang Ye kicked the man over and shouted to Feng Er and others who were chasing him: "Brothers! Follow me out of the city to kill the bandits!"

Feng Er looked out from the half-open city gate and saw the huge crowd of bandits outside. He was so frightened that his calves started to cramp.

"Boss! There are too many people!" He shouted and wanted to go forward to pull Liang Ye back, but he didn't expect that the man had already rushed out. He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet hard. If it weren't for the fact that this man was his brother-in-law, he really didn't want to care!

Feng Er raised his long sword, "Brothers! Follow me!"

This time, Yu Chaosheng didn't need to hide his strength and finally switched to the sword he was good at.

He used a heavy sword, which he bought through Pan Yingying at a high price in the system mall, a full 500 taels of silver, which made him feel painful for a long time, but fortunately it was worth it, and he could cut down three people with one sword. Pan Yingying also changed her precious sword. She was not short of money now, so she gritted her teeth and bought a 1000 tael long sword. There was a sharp eye on the handle of the sword, revealing her fierce nature. With her unparalleled sword skills, she actually cut a bloody path.

The little girls were held tightly in their mother's arms. Pan Yingying rushed over and dragged them along, "Enter the city!"

The women looked at her with gratitude, followed Yu Chaosheng, and ran quickly into the city.

The soldiers and young men defending the city were all shocked. The actions of the young man and woman seemed to give them a shot of adrenaline. They rushed forward with weapons in hand, roaring and shouting, their voices shaking the sky.

Liang Ye was infected by such enthusiasm. He chopped down a bandit with his sword, pulled up the injured convict, and pushed him behind him, "Go!"

A soldier guarding the gate hurriedly caught the man and sent him into the city.

Some people in the city have spontaneously organized themselves. Yu Chun'er and her group of children, all wearing white gowns and masks sewn by their mothers, skillfully treated the wounded, bandaging and suturing those that needed to be bandaged. Their speed shocked the doctors who came to help.

Wang Xueer held her small dagger, recalling the killing skills that Yu Chaosheng had taught her. While the city was in chaos and no one was paying attention to her, she quickly rushed out of the city gate.

Wang Bing'er accidentally saw her cousin running away, so she picked up the spear of some soldier nearby and followed her out.

Wang Xueer arrived at the battlefield outside the city, aimed at the jugular artery of the bandit closest to her, took a running start, leaped up, and nimbly jumped onto the man's back like a monkey. She exerted force with her right hand, and at the moment the man fell to the ground, she quickly jumped away, turned around and climbed quickly onto another man.

The thin dagger pierced into the artery quickly, accurately and fiercely, causing blood to spurt out far away.

A few drops fell on her face. She didn't raise her hand to wipe them off. Instead, she stuck out her tongue and licked the warm blood on her lips.

As the blood flowed into her mouth, she suddenly became excited. She turned the dagger in her hand twice, and remembering the gesture of Pan Yingying using a knife to kill someone before, she held the dagger in reverse hand and stabbed it into the belly of a bandit. She slashed it forward fiercely, and a big gash was immediately made in the bandit's abdomen by the sharp dagger, and his intestines fell to the ground.

Wang Bing'er, who had been following her cousin, turned green in the face when she saw this and almost vomited.

She didn't vomit, but the young and strong gatekeeper next to her who was waiting to treat the injured vomited so hard that tears filled his eyes, and even vomited out the sesame cake he had eaten last night.

Wang Bing'er looked at the chaotic battlefield, clenched the spear in her hand, and found the right moment to stab the bandit in the chest...

Wang Li had just bandaged the wound of a fugitive when he turned around to find that his two sisters were nowhere to be seen.

When he came to his senses, he slapped his thigh and knew that the two girls must have run away!
He had no choice but to yell, "Dad, Mom! Uncle, Aunt! My two sisters have run away from the city!"

Wang Youcai and his wife Wang Yougen were still carrying the wounded when they heard Wang Li shouting at the two girls to run out and kill the enemy. Liu Guihua was so angry that she cursed and drew her hatchet from her waist and rushed out. Wang Youcai couldn't stop her.

Next to him, Wang Yougen and his wife had already run to the city gate with their weapons.

When Zhao heard that her daughter and son-in-law were outside killing bandits, she couldn't help but glared at the useless Liu family.

Liu Mingxuan had just heard from the convicts who were sent in that he knew why Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng were killing the bandits outside. At this moment, he felt moved and guilty, and wished he was the one outside the city.

Liu Lin took the bow and arrow from Pan Dajin, and followed Old Man Pan and the few kids who were moving up the city wall. He had learned the six arts of a gentleman before, and his archery skills were pretty good, so he could barely help a little.
