Two hundred and nine: The Battle of Defending the City
Two hundred and nine: The Battle of Defending the City
Zhou Yanbo's proposal was very bold, the matter was already over, and the Yun family and the Xun family could leave Jiazhou City safely, but if Zhou Yanbo did this, it would mean that the people of the Yun family and the Xun family would be put in the flames of war, and once something went wrong, it was unimaginable.

Zhou Yanbo looked at the people on both sides, waiting for them to give an answer.
The first to speak was Yun Yehe, and I saw him smile and said: "Oh, a play to test the city defense of Jiazhou, then I have to take a good look, this is a thorough understanding of whether Jiazhou can withstand the invasion of the army." β
Zhou Yanbo turned his gaze to Xun Wenyu again, and Xun Wenyu said: "Then I will also stay and take a look, but considering the disparity in strength, then Brother Yanbo, please allow He Dian to come on the field to help you." β
"I'll help you too, Yanbo. Yun Yi stood up and said.
"How can this be, you are here to see the play, how did you become an actor?" Zhou Yanbo retorted.
"It's just my old father who is watching the play. Yun Yi said, "Besides, watching a play while acting is exciting." β
"We're here too. He Dian stepped forward and said.
Zhou Yanbo nodded: "Yes, but I hope you can put aside other feelings and follow my dispatch." β
β¦β¦
"What are you thinking?" Yun Yun stood behind Zhou Yanbo and asked, "At such a critical juncture, you let my father and grandfather stay in Jiazhou to see how you defend Jiazhou?"
Yun Yun is worried about the safety of her father and grandfather, after all, anything can happen on the battlefield, maybe her grandfather is interested, and he has to go to the front to see what is going on......
"I know Yun'er, you're worried about everyone's safety. Zhou Yanbo said, "But this matter is inevitable, from the moment Jiazhou was established, it has been decided to defend against the fate of the enemy's invasion, which no one can change. I can clearly feel that Xun Wenyu and your grandfather are worried about the defense of Jiazhou, how can they resist the opponent's attack without the tall and thick city wall? They don't want Jiazhou to be just a flashy city, so I want to prove to them that I can use half of the opponent's troops to resist their attack and drive them out of Yingning!"
After hearing this, Yun Yun smiled slightly and said, "Sometimes I appreciate your temper. β
"What do you think are the chances of the other side winning?" asked Zhou Yanbo.
"Yu'er sent a message not long ago, the other party doesn't seem to take Jiazhou in his eyes, what is coming is cavalry, infantry and light siege equipment, I don't have to look down when I see this, the Han army is going to be defeated again this time. β
"Oh, why?" Zhou asked.
"The stone wall designed by Zhou Tang is not suitable for the use of general siege equipment, and the city gate designed by Zhou Qiandai is not suitable for the use of cavalry, and there is no war yet, and one-third of the opponent's troops are already useless. β
"That's right, if the person who came was Jiang Hongyuan, I wouldn't have let Xun Wenyu and Yun Yehe stay in Jiazhou. β
What Zhou Yanbo didn't know was that when the Han family decided to attack Jiazhou, Jiang Hongyuan did not squeak, but asked the head of the Han family to let him manage the city in the east, anyway, the farther away from Jiazhou, the better, at that time Han Xiaotian was puzzled, and asked him why he didn't ask Ying to conquer Jiazhou, in his eyes, the Han family can deal with Zhou Yanbo, only Jiang Hongyuan is alone, Jiang Hongyuan said that it is not appropriate to attack Jiazhou at this time, he can expect the failure of the Han family, so in order to protect Mingzhe, he will ask to be transferred to a place far away from Jiazhou, but Han Xiaotian said that this is not a chance to come back to conquer the Zhou family foreverγ
Jiang Hongyuan said: "One day, the Han family will re-appoint me to resist Zhou Yanbo, and then it will be the real contest between me and Zhou Yanbo, Xiaotian, you should keep your eyes open in Anjing." β
In this way, Jiang Hongyuan took the initiative to leave the center of the Han family's power.
And here in Jiazhou, before the morning arrived, the scout had already come back to report: "The Han family army has arrived at the location of the Zhou family's manor, and the manor has been burned. β
Two hours later: "The Han family army has arrived at the east gate of Yecheng, and Yecheng has entered a state of alert. β
Less than half an hour later: "The Han family army has bypassed Yecheng and went straight to Jiazhou." β
An hour and a half later: "The Han family army has entered the Yingning realm. β
In the Jiazhou House, Zhou Yanbo is sitting in the position of the master, all the main figures of the Zhou family, as well as the people of the Xun family and the Yun family, are sitting together, and the Jiazhou House has never been so lively.
"Sooner than I expected. Zhou Yanbo said.
"Lord, give orders. Zhou Tang was already gearing up, "I can't wait." β
"But is it really Wang Jin who is leading the troops?" Zhou Yanbo said, "The idea of bypassing Ye Cheng is not something that someone like him can come up with. Zhou Yanbo knew that Wang Jin was a brave general, but lacked strategy, so according to his character, the next target after burning the Zhou family manor should be Yecheng, and then Jiazhou, so Zhou Yanbo ordered Shi Mingzhe to let Yecheng's irrelevant people go out to take refuge, and if the other party attacked the city, he would decisively give up Yecheng, which could not be defended. Unexpectedly, Wang Jin bypassed Ye Cheng.
"This is indeed not Wang Jin's strategy. Su Yu'er stood up and said, "I went to his main account to check, this is the idea of Han Qiyu of the Han family, he took into account Wang Jin's shortcomings, so he formulated a strategy and precautions in advance and handed them over to Wang Jin to implement, and it was written in detail: In addition to bypassing Ye City, there is also no destruction of farmland, no indiscriminate killing of innocents, and so on." β
"It seems that this Han Qiyu is a person who understands. Zhou Fengxue said, "He understands that the Han family here is unpopular, so he can avoid it." β
"Let's divide the forces, then. Zhou Yanbo stood up and said, "There are five gates in the three cities of Jiazhou, of which 2,000 troops are arranged to patrol and defend at the west gate and southwest gate, 3,000 troops are arranged to patrol and defend at the south gate, 15,000 troops are arranged at the east gate, and 5,000 people are arranged at the southeast gate. β
"Is this good?" Zhou Fengxue said: "The strength of the army is decreasing from east to west, what if the other side attacks the west?
"This city wall designed by Zhou Tang was originally designed to facilitate movement, so it is the same wherever the troops are placed, as for why not leave troops in the second city and the main city, it is easy to understand, if the other party breaks through the stone wall of the three cities, we will already lose. β
β¦β¦
"Hey, hey, hey!" Wang Jin stood and looked at Jiazhou not far away, "I didn't expect Jiazhou to be like this." β
There is no tall city wall in Jiazhou in front of you, there is no tall city tower, such a wall is like the wall of your own courtyard, and there are only countless Jiazhou flags.
"How could Yanbo design Jiazhou like this this week?" said the lieutenant general, "and a wall like this can be toppled down in a single move." β
"That's not exactly. Wang Jin said, "The walls of the ancient capital of Bianjing are thick enough, right? But they still can't stop the iron hooves of the nomads, and the city walls are not the only standard for measuring the defense of the city. β
"What are we going to do, then, or do we spread our forces to five gates and attack at once?" asked the adjutant general, "we have twice as many troops as theirs, and that's enough." β
Wang Jin shook his head: "Five will attack it, and ten will surround it." "The situation on the battlefield is not necessarily like this, those Zhou family banners have already deceived the strength of the troops.
"What then?"
"We must fight quickly, attack one point is not as good as the rest, we don't have too much food and grass to support, you first lead a small team to come forward to test. β
The adjutant general nodded, and immediately gathered a thousand people to rush towards the east gate of Jiazhou.
The east gate of Jiazhou, Jiaqin Gate, is the main gate leading to Yecheng. Now the stone walls on the city gate and around are already full of archers, and Zhou Fengxue is in charge of the east gate, and Zhou Yanbo is also among them.
"Less in charge, they have already begun to attack. Zhou Fengxue said.
Zhou Yanbo didn't seem to be listening, but looked straight ahead and muttered: "In the third year of the former Yuan Emperor, the Yuan Emperor went to the frontier to inspect a newly built military city, but the nomads found out the news, so the nomads whipped south and quickly surrounded the military city, and they wanted to capture the Yuan Emperor as a bargaining chip. β
"Less lords, they're almost out of range of the bow and arrows. Zhou Fengxue reminded.
"After being surrounded, Emperor Yuan wanted to save the people in the entire military city with his own life. Zhou Yanbo still said to himself, "But he was rejected by everyone in the military city, who refused an emperor's order, and decided to lead him to rush out and return to the country safely, and they did the same." β
"The other party is starting to get into the distance of the bow and arrow!
They succeeded in sending Emperor Yuan to safety, but there was only one survivor left, and Emperor Yuan was determined to avenge the soldiers who died for him, so he launched a large-scale expedition northward, and as a result, the two sides fought on the border for six or seven years, and it almost became a lifeless hell, although Emperor Yuan succeeded. β
"The other party is about to be in front of the stone wall. Zhou Fengxue said.
"This is war, and once it starts, no one can stop it from taking away lives. "This is war, and if it weren't for the tragic picture, people might have fallen in love with it." Zhou Yanbo waved forward as he spoke.
A merciless rain of arrows fell from above the stone wall, and Zhou Yanbo turned his head unwilling to look at it again.
This is war, whether it is victory or defeat, it is Zhou Yanbo's nightmare.
