"They came too suddenly and there were too many of them."

"It's almost as if this has been agreed upon. I'm afraid...there's a problem." Song Ke looked solemn.

As soon as these words came out, Su Hong was slightly stunned, but soon he said in a deep voice:

"There is indeed something wrong with this number of people."

"It's too sudden. Could it be...that there are Japanese people inside, trying to sneak into the city by taking advantage of the crowds?"

Song Ke nodded, "Well... it's very possible."

"Then... we won't open the city gate?" Su Hong said hesitantly, his eyes always looking at the refugee flow.

Most of those people were in rags, old and young, and they were calling for help from a distance.

Song Ke did not reply immediately, and Su Hong followed up by saying, "But at a glance, there are some of our people inside."

"What will they do if they don't open the city gate?"

"How about screening them before letting them in?"

"Tell them not to be so chaotic, line up in an orderly queue, and then screen them one by one."

Song Ke pondered for a moment, and then said: "At this time, everyone is thinking about survival. I'm afraid these people may not be able to listen."

"Whether you listen or not, you still have to say what you need to say. You can't just let it go!"

"I'll let people shout!" Su Hong said in a deep voice.

After Song Ke nodded, Su Hong immediately ordered the soldiers to shout into the distance.

"Don't mess around! Get in line!"

"If we come all together, we won't be able to open the city gate!"

But there were all kinds of chaotic voices in the thick crowd at this moment, some were shouting for help, and some were saying to open the city gate quickly.

Everyone looked panicked, and even if they didn't listen, they were still huddled together as before.

Song Ke frowned and sighed: "As expected."

At this moment, another large group of people emerged from behind the crowd. Unlike these refugees, most of them were riding horses. They were a group of soldiers, rushing towards them at this moment.

The leader was a middle-aged man. He was wearing armor, his body was stained with blood, and he looked miserable.

At this moment he was shouting loudly:

"Quick! Run!"

"We can't stop it anymore, the Japanese are chasing us! Enter the city quickly!"

"Only by entering the city can we survive!"

The soldiers beside him also shouted.

After these shouts, the refugees got into a mess and ran forward as hard as they could. Many of them were crying and wished they had two more legs.

On the tower, Song Ke, who had a panoramic view of all this, frowned even more.

"Look, that team is wearing our armor."

Su Hong looked at him intently, with an unprecedented serious expression on his face. He nodded and said, "Yes, he is one of ours!"

"There are so many refugees, and the Japanese are chasing them again. Now we are in trouble!"

Just as he was talking, the group of soldiers and horses from behind the refugee wave had already circled on horseback from the side. They galloped on their horses and came very quickly.

As the distance shortened, Su Hong also saw the troop clearly. The leader was none other than Qian Shouyi, the guard of Cangyang City!

At this moment, Qian Shouyi looked anxious and shouted loudly:

"I am Qian Shouyi! The Japanese are chasing us from behind, why don't you open the city gate and let the people in!"

Su Hong was about to speak, but was stopped by Song Ke. Song Ke lay on the battlements and shouted:

"General Qian! There are so many refugees suddenly arriving. How can we let them enter the city immediately? Please organize them and let them come in an orderly manner. We will check them before they enter the city!"

As soon as he said this, Qian Shouyi's face filled with anger and he immediately shouted:

"Master Song! The situation is critical. What do you want to check?"

"At this time, do you think it's too late? The top priority is to get the people into the city quickly to avoid being poisoned by the Japanese!"

Song Ke then shouted: "No! No!"

"Linbin City is very important! There is no room for error. There are too many refugees. If there are Japanese hiding among them, it will be terrible!"

Qian Shouyi's face turned red and he shouted angrily:

"What nonsense!"

"The Japanese had too many troops and attacked Cangyang City with an unstoppable force. In desperation, I had to abandon the city and flee with the people."

"I met people who were fleeing one after another along the road, so I let them go together. Linbin City is tightly guarded, so I let them come here!"

"Where are the Japanese hiding among them? Mr. Song, you can't even tell us apart!"

At this time, the crowd was almost rushing to the city gate, and shouts were heard one after another.

"Please open the door quickly, there are Japanese people behind you!"

"Sir, you can't leave us alone!"

"I'm not a Japanese, I'm a Dagan! My name is Li Mutian, and my home is in Baishe Village!"

"My name is Tian Wen! My home is in Tianji Village! I'm not a Japanese!"

People cried and shouted.

The scene was so tragic and the emotion was so touching that even the soldiers on the tower couldn't bear it, with tangled expressions on their faces.

Su Hong was sweating like raindrops and his face was as pale as paper. He didn't know how to speak for a moment. It wasn't until a loud shout rang from his ears that he turned around.

"General Su! Let the people on the towers prepare their bows and arrows for me and aim at them!" The voice came from Song Ke, whose face was frighteningly cold.

"Master Song, you want to..." Su Hong said with a surprised look on his face, but before he could finish speaking, he heard Song Ke yelling:

"Listen to me! You can't go wrong! Hurry!"

"Only in this way can we save them!"

Su Hong, who knew Song Ke's character well, no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the soldiers to aim their bows and arrows at the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, Song Ke's roar sounded again:

"Listen to me! Line up in an orderly manner and stay away from the city gate first!"

"Then let women, children, and the elderly come in first! Others, wait for me! They will be inspected in batches before entering the city!"

"My words are not for the Japanese! If you are one of your own, just do as I say!!"

"Anyone who disobeys will be treated as a Japanese and shot to death!!"

"I, a Dagan person, am not someone who is greedy for life and afraid of death. I will not just seek my own way of survival in the face of life and death!"

This sound was deafening. After the refugees experienced a burst of noise, they immediately heard a roar from the crowd:

"Get out of the way! Let the elderly, children, and women go first!!!"

"Let's go back first!!"

But soon, another voice came out:

"Why! My life is my life too! I am the only one left in my family! I don't want to die!"

"Why don't you just open the city gate and let us all in? If this delay continues, the Japanese will chase us!"

After these words fell, some fragmentary echoes followed:

"Yes! Open the city gate! Open the city gate!"

But then, countless curses also sounded:

"Fuck your grandma! You are such a fucking idiot!"

"What's wrong with what Mr. Song said? Go back!"

"The one who refuses to retreat must be the Japanese!"

Amidst the noise, a shout rang out:

"Oops! The Japanese are chasing us!"

Qian Shouyi turned his head and looked behind him, only to see a group of menacing Japanese riding horses.

In desperation, he shouted loudly:

"Master Song! It's too late!"

"At this time, let the people enter the city first! What I said is all the truth! How can you delay at this time!"

"The Japanese are chasing me now, how should the people deal with it!"

With a heavy sigh, Qian Shouyi turned his head and shouted to the soldiers:

"Let's go, brothers, follow me to stop the Japanese! Delay for a while!"

He turned to the crowd and shouted: "Hurry! Enter the city quickly!"

After the words fell, he stopped staying and immediately led the soldiers to the rear.

Before leaving, he shouted: "Master Song, the people will be left to you!"

"The Japanese have a lot of troops and we won't be able to hold on for long!"

At this moment, facing the Japanese army that had appeared in the rear, the refugees were already in chaos. Some people retreated, some ran forward, and countless people were squeezed to the ground.

Looking at the chaotic crowd, Song Ke's face was as pale as snow, and a sense of powerlessness came over him.
