Since ancient times, it has been easy to defend a city and difficult to attack a city, but when the number of people besieging a city far exceeds the number of people defending a city, it is not so easy for those who defend a city......

After suffering a big loss, the army sent by Nan Jinzhao attracted a lesson, and instead of letting the vanguard troops rush and let those poorly trained old oilmen beat blindly as before, they sent a veteran general to command the battle on the front line.

The affectionate veteran commanded on the front line, and although the group of undertrained old oilmen still fought poorly, no one dared to run away, let alone shout at the bottom and incite everyone to become deserters.

Under the command of the veteran, the soldiers and horses besieging the city were in an orderly manner, rushing forward one after another, fighting without hurry, but also making the generals defending the city unable to stop for a moment.

Nan Jinzhao chose to attack Xiang'an City, of course, for a reason......

The prince has fifteen cities in his hands, Xiang'an City is in the middle, and if he captures Xiang'an City, he wants to fight the city next to it, and it will save effort to transfer troops.

The geographical location of Xiang'an City is excellent, backed by the sea, except for the left and right, there is no city in the rear, after taking Xiang'an City, he does not have to worry about the enemy in the abdomen, only needs to worry about the reinforcements on the left and right.

Similarly, because of the excellent geographical location of Xiang'an City, the prince arranged the least number of soldiers and horses in Xiang'an City, which was the best among the fifteen cities......

The superposition of various reasons made Nan Jinzhao choose to use Xiang'an City as a breakthrough point, and then attack other cities.

Nan Jinzhao sent troops to fight this time, although there was a reason to test the depth of the prince, but the goal was also to take Xiang'an City, and then take Xiang'an City as the center to seize the city in the hands of the prince.

Set Nan Jinzhao's original words, that is: Aren't you Xiao Jiu'an good at governing the city?

You are good at governing cities, and I am good at siege. It just so happens that the city you have managed, I will seize it and take it, and that is my ......

Nan Jinzhao has always believed in taking ideas, and he can snatch them in the simplest way, so why take the time to run them?

His time is not wasted......

Therefore, Nan Jinzhao will send 150,000 soldiers and horses this time, in addition to 100,000 cannon fodder, he also sent 50,000 soldiers and horses to fight with him.

With these 50,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention Xiang'an City, even the cities next to it, Nan Jinzhao is also confident that he will take it.

According to his plan, they don't need to sacrifice too much to attack Xiang'an City, as long as the reinforcements arrive in three days, they will attack in batches, so that the defenders of Xiang'an City can not rest......

I have to say that Nan Jinzhao's plan is really not ordinarily good.

The 150,000 army fought 5,000 people, divided into fifteen batches, one after another, even if they fought for a year and a half, they would not be tired, but the defenders of Xiang'an City were so few people, they could not be divided into batches at all, they could only keep the hard top.

From daytime to dark, from dark to sub-attack, the siege soldiers and horses have not stopped, and the speed of the siege has not stopped......

In order to cope with the continuous siege battles, the soldiers and horses defending the city could not stop for a moment, and the long grass on the city wall was withdrawn, and immediately shot out, because the frequency of use was too high, some of them were broken.

"My lord, it can't be fought like this anymore, the brothers are all human beings, not iron, and the brothers will not be able to hold on. The deputy saw the garrison, patrolled the city wall, wiped his face, stepped forward, and whispered.

"It's evening...... Let the women and children guard the city. Put a few more dummies, get them over first, and let everyone rest in batches. "The guards patrolled all the way, so they naturally knew the situation of everyone.

The soldiers under his command are still in high spirits and fight very energetically, but their physical strength is obviously unable to keep up, even with the special training of the prince and the princess, they still can't be like the prince, fighting on the battlefield for several days without stopping.

There is no second person in the world for a person like the prince, right......

There are two!

The child who followed the princess was very terrifying, he was only a little older, but his endurance was the same as that of the prince.

That little kid is simply a demon, even more demonic than the prince.

"Is it okay to use only the woman and the child?" said the deputy, worried.

The guard raised his hand and looked confident: "No matter how weak they are, they are stronger than those below." It's night, and you can't see it in southern Xinjiang, so you can watch it......"

"The people were watching, and everyone was taking turns to rest. The deputy trusted the guard's judgment, but was still a little worried.

"Yes. Although the garrison was confident, the women and children in the city had never been to the battlefield after all, and after a moment of thought, they agreed with the deputy's opinion.

With the order of the garrison, the deputy immediately went down to arrange......

Before his order had been given, the old men, women and children of the city, dressed in battle armor and armed with spears, lined up in a phalanx on the streets of the city to fight.

All are soldiers!

For the people in leisure time, and for soldiers in wartime.

Every other month, men and women, young and old, all in the city participate in the rehearsal of the defense of the city.

This is the rule that Ji Yunkai set for every city. This rule must be unconditionally enforced by everyone in the city, and if they refuse to participate, they will be expelled from the city.

Since Ji Yunkai promulgated this rule, the people in the city have been implementing it on time every month, especially the elderly, women and children, who are the most active and have been very eye-catching every time.

They have all experienced war, they have seen too many people die in the past three years, they have lived too hard in the past three years, and every extra day they live is a reward from God......

Yes, now they are in the city, they are living a peaceful life, but they know that there is no peace in this world, and the peace they have now is very fragile and needs to be carefully cared for by each of them.

And the three years of war and chaos really scared them, they don't want to live that kind of life anymore, they live a life with no tomorrow today, they are very satisfied with the current life, in order to protect the current life, they can give everything.

Therefore, when they learned that the soldiers and horses in the southern Xinjiang were constantly attacking the city, the old people, women and children in the city spontaneously came to the gate of the city, and they were ready, as long as the garrison gave an order, they could go to war at any time, go out to fight like a soldier, like a warrior, and use their bodies to guard their garden.

The lieutenant came down and was not at all surprised to see these people, he held his torch aloft and tried to see the expressions of each of them......

Seeing that their faces were calm, without a trace of fear and nervousness, the lieutenant general's tense expression relaxed, and he said to everyone in a loud voice: "Next, the city gate is handed over to you, what to do, you don't need me to teach you anymore, right?"

"Swear to protect Xiang'an City to the death!" thousands of old people, women and children shouted in unison, their voices loud and firm.

They will defend Xiang'an City to the death, and will not allow anyone to destroy their homeland......
