I became a saint in the world of Liao Zhai, and flirted with monster girls

The yamen runners on the city wall were not as brave as these ordinary people. After the weapons were distributed from the county armory, the left and right county lieutenants organized them into teams according to the households in the neighborhood. The young and strong men were armed with weapons, and the women, old and young, carried supplies. The momentum of the entire Qiantang County was really different.

Wang Jiaqi felt this, knowing that this was what the people wanted. He sighed, "For generations here, people have only sought peace and tranquility, nothing more. The people are truly simple and honest."

This is where the people's hearts can be used.

Chapter 60: All the weak bones will die

"The people in the city fought bravely. With their united will, the county magistrate had a large army added to his army, and he was no longer afraid of the monster!"

"Yixian, this demon king is holding his troops still, so he must have a plan in mind. Now that the city is covered, it must be isolating it from the outside world, preventing others from knowing that Qiantang County is in trouble."

At this point, Wang Jiaqi said to Zhou Kao very sincerely,

"If the demons are strong and about to breach the city, I would like Yixian to break out alone and seek help from the outside world. I have the responsibility to defend this land and will live and die with this city.

I only hope that one day, Yixian can avenge me."

"Zhou Kao, I will obey the order of the county lord!"

Zhou Kao did not say anything pretentious. Wang Jiaqi was knowledgeable and experienced, and he must have seen the methods of demons. He had been guarding Qiantang for so many years, so he should have experience in fighting against demons.

As the saying goes, listen to advice and you will have a full meal.

Zhou Kao knows how to judge the situation.

When it's time to run, he will run.

He will definitely kill his enemies with his own hands.

Therefore, Wang Jiaqi planned a fallback plan, and Zhou Kao chose to follow it.

"The demonic fog refuses to dissipate. No one knows what tricks the demon king will use next."

Wang Jiaqi was very worried, and although Zhou Kao was also worried, he did not show it.

On this city wall, he must maintain his momentum and appear invincible.

It is for both the people and the demons to see.

If you show even a little bit of weakness, the demons will notice it, and then you will be doomed.

He is now the source of confidence for the soldiers defending the city. Anyone can look tired, but he cannot.

With Zhou Yixian around, the entire city was on high alert and not at all afraid of a sudden attack from demons.

However, what Wang Jiaqi was worried about was not only the attack of demons, but also that Qiantang County had become an isolated city. Without contact with the outside world, supplies would become less and less.

Even if the county government’s granary was opened, the food for people and horses would not last for more than a few days.

Fortunately, the local wealthy people are not stupid. Once the city is broken, keeping their own food will just be used as feed for the demons. It is better to contribute it now, which can be considered a meritorious service.

It’s just that some merchants from other places are spineless and unwilling to do so. What’s more, some even say that the demon only wants Zhou Kao and the people in the Taoist temple. Now that the Taoist temple is empty, wouldn’t it be safe if they gave Zhou Kao to the demon?

It's really funny to think about it.

Without waiting for Wang Jiaqi to issue an order to arrest them, these merchants were taken to the county government office by local people and charged with the serious crime of spreading false information to confuse the public and shake the morale of the army.

Directly offer sacrifices to the flag.

"Lord Wang, the food in the city can only last for seven days at most. After seven days, the food will run out."

"We can only take one step and see..."

Facing the chief clerk's reminder, Wang Jiaqi became more and more worried. Whether he could hold back the demon was a difficult hurdle.

After holding back the demon, whether Qiantang County can hold on on its own is another difficult hurdle.

When he was thinking alone, Wang Jiaqi picked up his pen and wrote his suicide note. If Qiantang County was conquered by demons, he, Wang Jiaqi, would not survive in this world.

"A true man, in the world, would rather die in glory than live in dishonor!"

As the county magistrate, he will surely rest with the city.

After saying this, he put on his official robe, straightened his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, and went out in high spirits. He left the fighting on the city wall to Zhou Yixian. As the magistrate of Qiantang County, what he had to do was to ensure that the warriors defending the city had no worries.

Wang Jiaqi visited every household on foot, explaining the situation and asking the people in the city to tighten their belts for a few days just in case.

At the same time, he summoned all the wealthy families in Qiantang County and promised that as long as the demons were driven away, they would be rewarded according to their merits. He would use his own name to guarantee the credit of all those who contributed, and he would definitely erect a merit archway and engrave an inscription on the stone to record the heroic feat of driving away the demons.

Wang Jiaqi also said that according to the laws of Dayu, those who have made great contributions can enjoy a three-year tax reduction. Qiantang County is an estuary and has developed trade. A three-year tax reduction is a fatal attraction for wealthy merchants.

Under the temptation of fame and fortune, those merchants naturally provided money and grain to the county magistrate Wang, who had a good reputation.

In half a day, Wang Jiaqi appeased the local people and urgently raised a sum of money and food.

Money is the soul of bounty, and food is the courage to stabilize the morale of the army.

The armaments on the city walls were also fully replenished.

After doing all this, although Wang Jiaqi knew that it was not a permanent solution, the confidence of the people in the city increased greatly. Seeing Shangguan's behavior, the people in the county were no longer afraid of the army of demons outside the city.

In front, Mr. Zhou killed the demons and calmed the people's hearts, and in the back, County Master Wang guarded the rear and took a broad view of the overall situation. There was nothing to be afraid of!

The worst that can happen is death!!

It would be worth it if everyone could take away a few demons before dying.

No loss for one, pure profit for two!!!

On the top of the city wall, Zhou Kao and Tai Sui continued to lead the team on patrol, patrolling from the north city to the east city. After a circle, Zhou Kao suddenly stopped. The militiamen on both sides immediately formed a formation with guns and knives to protect Zhou Kao.

"Watch your surroundings!"

Zhou Kao shouted loudly, and a fishy smell came from his nose again. Although it was not as strong as that of "General Qing", it was also a powerful monster!

Little Tai Sui also sounded the alarm.

Click! Click! Click! Click...

A strange sound was heard, and outside the East City, the flood suddenly produced a string of bubbles, so dense that they were countless.

Looking closely, I saw that there seemed to be a group of things gathering among these dense bubbles.

"what?"

"My dear, it must be a demon belonging to the crab."

When they gathered together, Zhou Kao could see clearly that there were thousands of crabs of different shapes, and the largest and most densely packed ones were (three) four-bell weeping crabs, two hissing bubbles,

There was a particularly huge crab, with a body three meters wide and two huge claws. The big one was like a battle axe as big as a door panel, and the small one was as big as a large iron pot.

Wow, there are crab claws to eat, right?

No, they want to break through the city wall?? !!

"Children, make a hole in this wall—"

The big crab spoke in human language with its claws clicking, and then waved its claws, and tens of thousands of crabs rushed forward with the tide.

"Put the pot on the stove~~~boil~~water~~"

There was plenty of water in the city at that time, although it could not be drunk.

But using boiling water to deal with these aquatic creatures is still quite useful.

On the top of the city wall, several strong men were carrying a big pot with boiling water inside. At Zhou Kao's command, dozens of pots of boiling water were poured into it at once. The crab monsters that had just entered were scalded to half blue and half red, and were scalded to death in a few breaths.

Zhou Kao and Tai Sui looked very sorry.

wasted.

"Keep boiling the water!"

"Get the hot oil ready! Put the biggest crabs on top."

For small ones, just use hot water, but for large ones with high defense, hot oil is better.

Zhou Kao and Xiao Tai Sui ran back and forth, observing the movements of the crab tide from time to time. The crab monster had nowhere to hide under their exploration.

By evening, the city was already filled with dense piles of dead crabs, emitting a fishy smell. The scene was so spectacular that the militiamen defending the city could not calm down for a long time.

Thousands of crabs swarmed in at that time, it was really scary, especially the largest one. The claw on the left was as big as a door panel. If a strong man's waist was pinched by it, it would probably be broken into two pieces.

Chapter 61 Xiao Zuo Attacks

Zhou Kao knew that with so many demons attacking the city during the day, there would definitely be more attacks at night.

This little Tai Sui also reminded Zhou Kao of this.

I stroked the cat's head.

Zhou Kao immediately ordered: "Get some rest! There will be another fierce battle at night!"

"Yes!"

The patrol teams temporarily formed by local militia and yamen runners were divided into two groups. One group continued to stand guard, while the other group quickly ate and slept.

Take turns.

Zhou Kao was a scholar, and everyone had heard that he was well-versed in the art of war.

Captain Zhou said there would be a fierce battle at night, and that means there would be one.

Some people in the city also officially saw the monster today. The hope they had originally had has completely disappeared. Now they all have serious expressions and have entered a real state of combat readiness.

Always ready to go to the battlefield and replace the fallen family members.

Zhou Kao waved the sword, feeling the heavy feeling when the sword was swung down.

"That giant crab monster is quite famous. Ordinary arrows can't penetrate it, and using ordinary sharp blades to chop it would be a waste of effort. But my precious sword should be able to do it."

Zhou Kao still trusted his precious sword.

Zhou Kao swung his precious sword so loudly that the sound was like a whistling sound. The patrolmen on duty nearby were astonished and thought it was a pity that Mr. Zhou didn't use his strong arms to move bricks.

Zhou Kao was thinking about how the crabs tasted when he heard a "crackling" sound. Zhou Kao and Tai Sui were startled.

Zhou Kao shouted, "Be alert! Those crab monsters are coming again!"

In the evil fog, Taishan Saburo watched the battle from afar. At this moment, Qiantang County was surrounded tightly, but the national destiny of the Dayu Dynasty still protected the city. Faintly, there was some kind of starlight shining on the city.

"Damn national destiny, damn Zhou Kao, damn Wang Jiaqi, damn the human race, how dare they resist!?!"

Taishan Saburo cursed in a low voice, but secretly thought to himself: As long as the city is broken, this place will be mine to take whatever I want, and then you can let me ravage you!

The demons around were also amazed in admiration, and from time to time some monsters came forward to flatter him, among whom was a fat catfish.

"Your Majesty is truly worthy of being Your Majesty! With just one heroic invitation, General Zuo Sun, one of the Left and Right Generals, has come to our aid. With General Zuo Sun's invulnerability and immense strength, Qiantang County will surely be conquered today!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Taishan Saburo was enjoying the flattery of the fat catfish. He held a wine glass in his big hand and said proudly,

"That scholar thought he had some strength, but he had no idea how powerful the generals on both sides were. They were born with armor and were invulnerable to swords and spears. He couldn't even cut off a crab spine."

Poor Taishan Saburo didn't even know that Zhou Kao was protected by a certain queen, and even his father wouldn't dare to mock Zhaci.

Zhou Kao's sword only served to not kill the old or the young, that's all.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! If you can capture Qiantang County and use this as a base to establish a demon kingdom, Your Majesty will surely become the most famous demon in history! Your fame will soon reach the world!"

"Kulahahahaha..."

The surrounding monsters also came forward to flatter him, making Taishan Sanlang even more proud, and he even said,

"I have also contacted several friends and set up this Nine-Curved Black Wind Formation. Anyone approaching Qiantang County within a hundred miles will be lost. I want to make Qiantang County... cry out to heaven and earth for help, but no one will respond! If Zhou Kao can still drag it out, he will be courting his own destruction, Kulahahahaha!!!"

Obviously, Taishan Saburo was not a fool. After a brief period of anger, he had roughly sorted out the context.

"Your Majesty is so powerful and mighty that he will surely achieve unparalleled achievements!"

"It will definitely become a demon kingdom on earth!!!"

"You will surely become a god on earth and enjoy the worship of all people!!!"

The demons and monsters cheered and jumped for joy, as if they had already seen the scene of Qiantang County being destroyed. By then, all the humans in the city would become food for the demons.

Juicy and tender human beings!!

One bite and it explodes! !

Isn’t it just “beauty is a feast for the eyes”?

At this time, the defenders were faced with thousands of crabs advancing like ants. Each one was as big as a pig or a dog, and the largest one was as big as a house.

Zhou Kao felt his scalp tingling when he saw the pliers as big as door panels from the top of the city wall.

If it gets pinched a few times, wouldn't it be covered in bruises?
