The meaning of the words is too easy to understand, and there is no objection to Wuwei, but, "It is too risky to let ordinary people defend the city, and they will abandon the city and flee if they are frightened." ”

"Then tell them that behind them are their parents, wives and children, if they fail, as long as they participate in the defense of the city, don't think that the Min Kingdom will let their family go, both ends are dead, it is better to die like a man!"

Xia Hanqiu got up, opened the closed door, lifted the heavy curtains, let all the heating in the house disperse, and made her whole person more sober, "It's almost dawn, they have to make a move tonight, this day is ......"

You can't do anything in one day, and it's impossible to train a group of ordinary people into mighty soldiers, Xia Hanqiu knows this, and he has never had any illusions, if the threat doesn't work, he will be tempted, and if the temptation doesn't work, he will be forced to live and die, as long as he can defend the city, he will use any means.

As the sky became brighter, the offensive of the Min State retreated again, and compared with before, the casualties this time were not so great.

Looking at the people who retreated far away, Yu Changgong exhaled a breath of turbidity, "Settle the casualties." ”

Before the specific number was counted, Fu Yingying led someone to bring ginger soup, which was packed in a large pot and placed in a necessary place, and the people who had been tortured by the wind and snow for a night consciously lined up and drank a big bowl each.

Later, there were people carrying large vats to send them one after another, but they were not worried.

The food is all coarse grain cakes, not to mention the rest, at least hot, and it is full, and after eating, take turns to rest.

"General Yu, I'm here to pass on the princess's words, please go over now."

Yu Longbow naturally recognized Fu Yingying, and arched his hand and said, "Mrs. Lao will take a trip." I'll make arrangements here and I'll go over. ”

After going to the Yamen, Yu Changgong learned that the princess not only invited him, but Wu Gongming also came, and several old men were invited, even the housekeeper Mingde was not absent, but Chen Chen was nowhere to be seen.

Xia Hanqiu had a calm face, she also just knew that her second senior brother had sneaked out of the city, and he hadn't returned yet, and the little manpower he brought with him was not enough for the enemy to spit at the mouthful, it was really bold!

"Alright. You don't know what he's capable of. It will definitely be safe, you take care of the matter in front of you, leave him alone. Wuwei coughed lightly, and he was also worried. But after all, it was the child he raised. Know what he's all about. That's always the only way to make others suffer, and he really doesn't believe that he will plant on it.

Xia Hanqiu had no other way but to put this in advance. Speaking of business, "Everyone must know the current situation, and I invite you to come here to borrow your brains to see if there is a good way to get through this difficulty." ”

Old man Xu lasted all night, at this time his energy was a little weak, he could only keep drinking tea to wake up, at this time he saw that others did not speak and took the lead: "Our current troops are suffering, but the other party does not take much advantage, this kind of weather, they can't last long, the snow has not stopped, as long as it rains for another day and night, the other party will not be able to stay up and withdraw the troops, according to the old minister's view, this day and night is the most important, we can see the situation they are now feeling it personally, they will definitely attack the city frantically, we have to defend." ”

Yu Changgong took over the conversation, "The two thousand soldiers who were ambushed outside have not been used, and they will definitely have an unexpected effect at the critical moment, but it is too cold this day, although they have been prepared before, but I am afraid that it will not last long, in addition, the people and horses they are hiding must also be vigilant, and they are not afraid of attacking the ministers in the open, they are afraid that they will come to the yin, with our current manpower, I am afraid that the people who come to the yin will not be able to prevent it." ”

"That's what I'm going to say, I've given an order, call on the young people in the city to help defend the city, and I don't need them to go into battle to tear it up, hundreds of maids and servants in the palace are heating the oil for fire, and then as long as they pour the boiling oil down from under the city wall, and then throw torches down, it's not difficult, women can do it."

This is indeed a solution, although there is still a danger, but the danger is negligible compared to the effect it can play.

"The north and south city gates have you can't use them for proper defense, I plan to put them in the east and west city gates, the troops on both sides are almost emptied, I guess the group of people they are hiding will fight in these two directions, as long as they break through one gate, the pavilion city will be over."

"The minister thinks it's inappropriate." Yu Changgong shook his head, "Since it is possible for them to break through from the east and west, it will definitely not work by ordinary people alone, Yichen thinks it is better to disrupt it, the four city gates are mixed with people and soldiers, which not only ensures the safety of the people, but also prevents the other party from exploiting loopholes, if it is all people, as long as someone breaks through, it will be a unilateral massacre." ”

"Lao Chen also thinks this is the best."

"The old minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

“……”

Everyone in the room thought that this was the best, and Xia Hanqiu naturally had no opinion and handed over the matter to Yu Longbow.

After discussing the details for a while, the group retreated, Yu Changgong walked last, and when he was at the door, he turned back and said: "Please take care of your body, the pavilion can't leave you now, and the prince definitely doesn't want you to have any accidents." ”

The curtain was very heavy, and when it was lowered, it was very loud, Xia Hanqiu looked at the empty door and looked stunned, if he was here, how could he let her work so hard, if he was in ......

With the strength of Zishuang, he got up, "Master, I'll go sleep for a while, and you can also find a place to rest." ”

"Go ahead, the day won't collapse for a while and a half, you can sleep peacefully for a while."

The body is actually very tired, but the spirit is tense, Xia Hanqiu tried to relax his body and empty the distractions in his mind, but he didn't open his eyes when he heard the noise outside, and he finally slept for two hours after half dreaming, and it was nearly noon when he woke up.

I ate all the food that Ziye sent in, and walked back and forth in the house before cleaning up and leaving the room, and found that the master was still there.

"It's not so ugly at all." Wuwei breathed a sigh of relief and put away the beast shell without a trace.

Xia Hanqiu sat down behind the desk, looked down at Jiu Jiu skillfully lying next to her stomach, and then looked up and talked to the master, "After sleeping and eating, the spirit will come back, didn't you go to rest for a while?" ”

"Rest, come a little before you." Wuwei didn't want her to ask any more, so she changed the topic and talked about things outside, "There is no movement in the morning, and the other party is tired when I think about it, and they are all recuperating, I am afraid that it will not be so stable in the afternoon, there are more than 4,000 people gathered in Qingzhuang, and the Yu family kid has gone to practice, and nothing can be practiced in such a little time, but it is better than nothing." ”

Xia Hanqiu was surprised that she was able to gather more than 4,000 young people, after all, Huiting City is now a lonely city, and the counties and towns below are all disconnected, she thought that there would be more than 2,000 people at most, but she didn't expect it to double.

"There is a merchant who is engaged in the trading of fire oil, and a warehouse full of fire oil has been studied, and other people are not stingy, although the use of fire oil is a little ruthless, but the effect must not be bad."

Xia Hanqiu stroked and tweeted, "I know that this hurts the heavens and the peace, but I really can't think of other ways to deal with it, the gap in numbers is not something that can be made up by clever and small means, I hope that the generals of the Fujian State are compassionate enough to their subordinates, and don't let people rush forward to send them to death." ”

Yes, it hurts Tianhe, if he wasn't forced to do nothing, how could he, a little disciple who was not hard-hearted, be so ruthless.

As Wuwei said, in the afternoon, the Min State launched a strong attack, although it was defended, but the arrows were almost consumed, and the soldiers became tired soldiers.

And Chen Chen never came back.

Xia Hanqiu suppressed the restlessness in his heart, pretended to be calm and sat in the yamen, and ordered it to be passed out one by one, although everyone was very tired, no one showed it in front of the princess who was still holding her stomach.

It's getting dark.

Whether it is Bajing City or Wuyang City, there is no news back, Bajing City is farther away, at this time it should be just arrived at the ground, Wuyang City is closer, if Qi Zhensheng is smart, the reinforcements should be on the way at this time, maybe they can catch up with tonight's battle.

Of course, the premise is that Qi Zhensheng didn't think about falling into the well and taking advantage of the fire to rob.

"Uncle Ming, you are good, pay more attention to the rear of the Min Kingdom, lurking for so long, the second senior brother will definitely not do nothing."

After a day and a night, Mingde still didn't look at it, and not a single hair was scattered, and he didn't hesitate to listen to the command.

The last glimmer of light on the horizon receded, the wind howled, the snow fell, and the wind was biting.

It should be the weather when the family is talking warmly on the stove at home, but they are desperate for life and death, and there is an uneasy mood floating in the quiet city.

The Min State, which had only launched a strong attack in the afternoon, launched a strong attack again after a short rest, even if it knew that the Min State might have plans in the other two directions, in order to hold the city, it had to continuously draw troops from the other two directions.

The boiling oil was carried and placed in a leeward place, and more than 4,000 young men wore their thickest cotton clothes, and their hands were wrapped in thick strips of cloth to protect themselves to keep warm, and in front of each of them were placed a wooden barrel of different sizes, old and new, with a long handle, and most of the handles were new.

As long as they think of what they have to do, they tremble with fear, and they also lose the handle to be replaced with a long one, otherwise they will have to splash the oil on themselves when they are nervous.

This is the last killer move, until the critical moment, Yu Longbow does not plan to use it, and this trick cannot be used when the other party has been unable to get close to the city gate, so let them disperse for the time being to avoid the leeward place.

The two sides were in the midst of a good fight, and a group of men and horses came silently to the west, and instead of going in the direction of the city gate, they stopped at a marked spot, where there was a dead end, and a few strong ropes were hanging.

The leader leaned his ear on the wall and listened for a long time, and after making sure that there was no movement on that side, he waved his hand back, and the group of people tiptoed like cats, grasping the rope and climbing the city wall nimbly. (To be continued......)
