Moreover, Mr. Zhu has never left, just walking around the city as if he was wandering around. Seeing him now, everyone feels that he has a backbone.

Dinner was delivered very early. The large wooden bucket covered with cotton pads contained dry food and hot soup. I don’t know who planned in advance, but even prepared a lot of wooden bowls and so on. It was very convenient to eat and use. Zhu Da did not have a small cooking, but just ate the same food as everyone else, and it was sweet. This made people calm down again without realizing it. Some people were very forced to go home and have a better taste. Seeing Zhu Da like this, he had to follow it.

Except for the servants on duty at the city, only the young policemen who followed the training to do things thought that Zhu Da would not go down the city. Everyone else thought that Zhu Da would leave after the work was done. Unexpectedly, he chose a city gate tower as his residence at night. Everyone was talking about it again, but what everyone on the city did not realize was that before they knew it, everyone was much more at peace.

After nightfall, fires ignited everywhere on the city. The young and strong men gathered around the fire to keep warm. Some even took a nap, but it was impossible to really sleep. Every once in a while, someone urged them to go on a patrol.

Originally, Zhu Da didn't want to make a fire on the top of the city. Raising a fire on a high place in the flat area was equivalent to giving guidance and targets to people in the distance. It was really dangerous in the current situation of the enemy, but when he saw that there were also bonfires under the city, Zhu Da had no choice but to give up this plan.

This night, the edge of the wall of Huairen County was not quiet, because the city was very lively, and not everyone outside the city could come and enter the city at the time of opening the city gate. Those who came late would stay at the city gate to wait for the city gate to open tomorrow. These refugees naturally could not talk about discipline and silence. The noise under the city cried and scolded, and the city heard it clearly. If this was the city, some requirements on the city could not be implemented.

Regardless of the city, the city is moving and guarding all day long, and the city is rushing to travel under the city, and I feel scared. After the night, I calmed down one after another, only snoring loudly or talking in my sleep alarmed others and made a few scoldings.

Zhu Da also slept very heavily in the city gate building. Even a man with such troubles during the day needs rest. However, Zhu Da's sleep has an advantage. No matter how he uses his brain and care during the day, he rarely dreams when sleeping, which can ensure sufficient rest and recovery.

I vaguely heard the barking of the dog. Zhu Da was already a little sensitive to the barking of the dog. It was quiet late at night. Once the dog barked wildly, it often symbolized that disaster was approaching. After experiencing it in Baibao Village at that time, Zhu Da thought it was his own hallucination, but in a trance he reacted and sat up suddenly.

He fell asleep in his clothes, got up and grabbed his weapons and left the house. The people on duty on the front of the city looked down. The barking of dogs came from the city. If the people who fled into the city had time, they would bring their livestock with them. The dogs they raised were followed. There was more than one dog under the city. Now all the dogs were barking, and it had already affected the city. The dogs raised by residents near the city walls also began to bark.

"What's going on?"

"Suddenly the dog started to bark, and there was no chaos in the city. Zhang Jinbei had already led two people down to see." Ji Xiaodong hurried over and answered.

Zhu Da walked a few steps to the chassis and looked down. He could hear "These stupid and bold Zhu family, who were blinded by the darkness, actually pulled a rope down." Looking at the city, he couldn't see clearly, so he could only observe with the light of the fire that had not yet been extinguished.

There was no chaotic place under the city except for some noise. There were many people around the bonfire, and many male men walked back and forth in a daze.

"Look at it carefully, don't be careless." Zhu Da reminded him, called on the team of servants led by Liu Nan, and ran towards the other city walls. After two steps, a burly man brought his men to meet, but it was Wang Hu and the guards in the caravan.

The direction of people under the city is similar to that of this place, and the dogs are barking, while the person without anyone is quiet. After Zhu Da and the others come to the north, they can hear the commotion caused by the dog's barking gradually subside, either inexplicably frightened, or the people who frightened them have gone away.

Zhu Da stood in the gap between the mercerations and looked to the north. There was nothing but the darkness of the night and could not see anything at all, but no one knew if there was something hidden in the darkness, it might be a beast or a human.

"There is a fire?" a man suddenly said.

Those who can see some things in this dark night can eat enough and eat meat on weekdays, otherwise the blind man in Ye would not be able to escape. As expected, the little leader in the squad who can draw his bows. He looked in the direction the person pointed, and could see that there seemed to be a fire shining far and far away.

If it is the light pollution state for more than twenty years, it is difficult to see such a wild fire. But at this time, there is nothing else in the wild except the stars and moonlight. You can still see it when you look at it intently.

At first it seemed that the flame was flashing, and it should be during the fire-making stage. After a while, the flame gradually stabilized, and as long as you can see it, you can still see it.

Everyone on the city was speechless, and everyone who could see looked over there. It was the person who fled overnight to make a fire in the distance, or the spy looked around from a distance and lived and rested at a safe distance. After all, if you can cook the fire and keep warm, you can rest more fully. There are indeed various possibilities, but everyone will not be lucky.

There are burning beacons in the distance, but it is farther away than the fire. It seems to be a bit blurred and mixed with the sky light. The beacons soaring in the sky in the daytime and the vague beacons in the night all tell everyone that the enemy is coming, but the fire light floating in the darkness in the distance further tells everyone that the enemy is coming and has come!

Although the sky was quiet and the dog did not bark, many people on the city wall did not sleep well. When the skylight first appeared, they opened the west gate at Zhu Da's order. There were also servants beating the gong and shouting down the city wall, asking the people from other directions to go to the west gate.

This time, the inspection was not serious, and everyone was put into the city. The servants and the police even took the lead in helping carry the luggage and pulling the animals. Although the people who entered the city thought they wanted to rob them at first, they were very angry and dared not speak out to be prepared to endure it. When the misunderstanding was lifted, the efficiency naturally increased a lot, and the speed of entering the city was greatly accelerated.

The city gate was open for almost an hour and a half today, and almost all the people outside the city came in. At this time, the city gate was closed, and the young and strong in the city began to fill the sand and soil pockets that had been prepared long ago into the city gate hole.

"There are people who arrive and ask them to climb up the rope." Zhu Da made the decision. As for the inconvenient climbing, there was a way. He used the rope to pull the big basket down, and even women, children, old and weak could lift it up, and as for animals, he didn't care.

"Brother Zhu, do you know how people in the city are talking about you?" Chang Kai couldn't help but say a few words to Zhu Da when he went to the city. "What do you think you are working so hard? I'll be left with everyone under the cold wind. What can I do in the end? This county town is not yours."

Chang Kai had some other words, but when he saw Zhu Da looking at the sky, he swallowed the next words back. Chang Kai wanted to say, "After this time, the county town will really belong to you."

"The Tartars are coming." Zhu Da said this very calmly, but the few people standing next to him were all nervous. Only Wang Xiong, who was here in shifts, looked calm.

Zhu Da ignored the reaction of the people around him. The beacon smoke in the sky has not changed at all compared to yesterday. There are only two possibilities. One is that the Mongolian army was blocked or besieged by the pass. This possibility is theoretically feasible. In fact, the Mongolian horse team broke through the pass and entered the pass without any obstruction. The Ming official army was not even prepared. It can be seen from the ignorance and surprise of the old Yang Zhongjun. Therefore, this may not exist. The other possibility is that the Mongolian army accelerated its march and no longer cared about the beacon towers in dangerous positions. There is only this possibility.

Refugees who entered the city would arrange accommodation and hot soup and rice, but while giving this kind treatment, the male Ding Qingqiang would be immediately organized into teams to arrange labor and duty on the city and below.

I was grateful when I received relief, but once the village was broken up, the formation of the village had to go to the city. Today, the people who entered the city stopped doing it. Compared to yesterday's hasty investment, many entire villages or tribes came in teams last night. They rely on each other and have more courage.

When Zhu Da heard the noise under the city, he had been confronting him for a while. On one side were young and strong yamen servants in the city, and on the other side were nearly 200 refugees. The servants were furious, and the refugees held sticks, farm tools and Shaoliang weapons, and scolded each other without showing any weakness.

"...The Tartars are coming, everyone has to go to the city. You can't eat, drink and live, and do nothing..."

"......Stop talking and betray people. Guarding the city is the act of the official and the army. Don't bully us countrymen. You fool us up and work hard. There is no such reason in the world..."

"......Let you x x, I just came down from the city last night, and everyone wanted to go to the city, why are you exceptions..."

“…We don’t believe it…”

"... Then you go out of the city..."

“…Whoever lets us leave the city will fight with us…”

The scene was clear. On one side were the refugees who fled in last night, on the other side were the officials and young and strong in the city. The people and officials in the city were mostly hostile to each other. Today, we reached a consensus, and on the other side, we were also very imposing. We might have been panicked last night. When we entered the city, the people who were still servile and looked erratic, the adults shouted at each other, the women and the elderly shouted at the sky and the earth, and the children cried. The scene was extremely terrible.

Wang Hu and Wang Xiong should have a division of labor. Wang Hu obeyed Zhu Da's arrangements to lead people to train, while Wang Xiong followed Zhu Da and he also went down to the city with Zhu Da. However, no one liked Wang Xiong very much. This guy was too focused on watching the excitement, and he could tell that his indifferent attitude was a bit out of place.

"It's really hard for the people, and they live a hard life!" Looking at the chaotic situation, Wang Xiong sighed. He said this emotion, and both Zhu Da and Chang Kai turned their heads to look at him, their eyes very subtle.
