Chapter 817: Recruiting the Dead...
"City Lord, even if you don't believe us, don't you still believe in the Great Prince?" Rong Zhen looked at Hao Xu and asked rhetorically.
"Okay. It's me who thinks too much. I apologize to you!" Hao Xu bowed to Zhao Bufan to apologize.
"Forget it! I don't have the same knowledge as you!" Zhao Bufan said. "I've already finished what I need to say. Whether you buy an armor-piercing bow and armor-piercing arrows is your business. ”
Hearing Zhao Bufan say this, Hao Xu felt even more embarrassed, it seemed that he was still too small-bellied.
Hao Xu said: "Armor-piercing arrows are a must. As for the armor-piercing bow, let's take it slowly! After all, I don't know much about the amount of money and food in the city. ”
"Alright. Let's let the soldiers practice playing the strings first. We'll talk about the rest of that later. Rong Zhen smiled slightly.
He is really worried that the two will have a conflict because of this, you know, now it can be described as a great enemy!
"Hmph!" Zhao Bufan snorted coldly and left here.
"Hao Xu, City Lord, don't blame it! My brother is like this, and after a while, he will be fine. Rong Zhen hurriedly apologized, and hurriedly chased after Zhao Bufan.
"Alright. Don't be angry! The city lord is also unintentional. Rong Zhen hurriedly persuaded again.
"Who is angry? How could I have such a trivial matter with him?" Zhao Bufan said.
"Yes, yes, yes! You have a lot of knowledge, and you don't have the same knowledge as him!" Rong Zhen replied.
"I'm really not angry," Zhao Bufan said.
Rong Zhen replied: "I know you're not angry with him..."
Zhao Bufan: "......"
I have to say, a brother is a brother! After a few words with Rong Zhen, all kinds of unpleasantness before were thrown out of the clouds by Zhao Bufan.
"Alright. Let's get down to business. Zhao Bufan said, and then asked, "When do you think they will call?"
Rong Zhen replied: "I guess, they have attacked the city repeatedly, and now they must be in Philadelphia and supplies." It's almost good now. Judging by the distance between the two cities and the speed of their march. At the earliest, in three days, the troops will be under the city of Jingcheng!"
"So what should we do now? With our current strength, I'm afraid we can't resist it. Zhao Bufan asked.
Rong Zhen was also full of worry: "Yes." If they are determined to take Jingcheng, we will definitely not be able to resist it. It seems that it is necessary to think of a way out. ”
"The way back, you mean, abandon the city and flee?" Zhao Bufan thought of something.
"It's also a helpless move. If it is guarded city by city, it will undoubtedly be broken one by one!" Rong Zhen said.
That's right. Do you want to discuss it with Hao Xu?" asked Zhao Bufan.
Rong Zhen said again: "The question now is not whether to abandon the city or not. It's time!
With our legs, even if we abandon the city and flee, we will surely be caught up by them soon. When the time comes, it is better to defend the city. ”
That's right. Zhao Bufan nodded.
Then, Zhao Bufan looked at Rong Zhen speechlessly and said, "Then what do you say?"
Rong Zhen spread his hands and said helplessly: "I don't know..."
Zhao Bufan: "......"
"Then we can only fight first!" Zhao Bufan sighed.
"That's all there is to it. Rong Zhen said. "Then let's go to the city and take a look!"
............
Zhao Bufan and Rong Zhen came to the city and walked around.
"Alas, you say, then what's the point of us coming here?" Zhao Bufan asked Rong Zhen.
"I don't know..."Rong Zhen replied...
Zhao Bufan: "......"
"Why don't you know anything?" Zhao Bufan howled.
Rong Zhen: "......"
"Otherwise, let's try to face it head-on!" Rong Zhen added: "I mean, go out of the city to fight!"
"Front, are you stupid? You can't keep it, and it's still positive?" Zhao Bufan said angrily.
"It's impossible to escape. It's just very passive to defend all the time. It's better to give it a go! By the way, it will dampen their spirit. Rong Zhen said very seriously and is very sure.
Zhao Bufan took a deep breath and said, "Then let's do it." Leave half of the men and horses to fight with us out of the city. The other half of the men retreated to the rest of the city!"
"That's all it takes! However, this is clearly to take them to their lives, and they are afraid that they will not be able to! Moreover, our reputation is not very good. After all, at the last minute, we will definitely have to escape, and we can't die in a fight?"
"No, everything is said by you, and then, everything is rejected by yourself, then you can say a hammer!" Zhao Bufan scolded.
"I just said what was in my mind. It's you, the boss, who really make the decision!So, ah, the matter of killing and hurting brain cells is up to you, the boss!"
"I..."Zhao Bufan hated it so much, and asked Rong Zhen to come to help Zhang solve the problem, how do you feel that you are raising the bar now...
"Let's go, now go to the barracks and recruit some guys who don't want to die!" Zhao Bufan walked towards the barracks.
Rong Zhen hurriedly followed.
............
Zhao Bufan was naturally the first to find Hao Xu, and immediately expressed his intention.
"This..."Hao Xu didn't expect that Zhao Bufan's discussion would be such a result.
"Don't hesitate, you must gather all your forces in order to fight one, so inform the lords of each city to abandon their respective cities
, all retreat to the Jiang Clan's Royal City!" Zhao Bufan said.
(Note: Philadelphia, Jingcheng and the previous cities that were captured were all under the jurisdiction of the Jiang royal city.) It's just that most of the jurisdiction of the Jiang Clan's Royal City is on the front line, so the Jiang Clan is already in a state of flux, and they can't take care of the head and tail. I don't have time to pay attention to Jingcheng at all. )
"This is naturally possible, but going out of the city to face this matter..."Hao Xu hesitated and was embarrassed.
Rong Zhen interjected: "This is a must!"
Rong Zhen explained: "The army of the three princes is equipped with magical equipment, and its movement speed is far beyond ours, if our whole army retreats, we will definitely be caught up, and when the time comes, I am afraid that none of them will be able to leave." Someone has to stay behind to break the queen!"
"That's... Okay..."Rong Zhen's words were already obvious, and Hao Xu also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he could only nod helplessly.
"Let's go! I believe the soldiers will make their own choices. ”
Hao Xu took Zhao Bufan and Rong Zhen to the barracks.
At this time, the soldiers are still training in full swing, but this time they are all practicing archery, no way, since the use of the purple longbow, the soldiers can be said to love it.
It just so happened that this time he used a purple longbow to guard Jingcheng.
Hao Xu took a breath and said loudly: "Everyone stop! I have something very important to discuss with you!"
The soldiers all stopped shooting their arrows and gathered in this direction.
I have to say that the army in Jingcheng doesn't know how to fight in combat, but the discipline is still quite good, and the soldiers didn't even have a trace of whispering, and they quickly lined up.
began to listen to Hao Xu's words.
Glancing at the soldiers, Hao Xu sighed helplessly in his heart, and then told his decision and thoughts.
The soldiers fell silent for a moment, then shouted: "I'll stay!"
"I'll stay too!"
......
......
The soldiers scrambled and shouted, scrambling to stay behind and break off.
"Listen to me!" Zhao Bufan roared, and said: "I feel very admired and proud that everyone can have such determination and courage. But now is not the time to argue about this, and I can tell you with certainty that those who remain will die. ”
"We are not afraid of death!"
"Yes, we are not afraid of death!"
"From the moment we decided to become soldiers, we had already entrusted our lives to our responsibilities. It is an honor for us to die! It is a kind of pride and pride!"
"That's right! Die defending Jingcheng, and cover the retreat of my comrades! I will not give up until I die!"
The soldiers said impassionedly.
