Still have to find someone? Lord Wang, although I also know that the more people who defend the city, the better, but you don't know, I am under a lot of pressure now. As soon as he heard Wang Zhizheng's words, Feng Minghe couldn't help but complain.

"Right now, these people are all because I have said all kinds of good things to all the big families in the city, and I have come with coercion and temptation. One by one, they are grass on the wall, and the wind blows and falls. ”

"To put it mildly, few of them are optimistic that we can defend Xiangcheng, and no one is willing to come out at this time to offend those upcoming thieves. lest the thieves later liquidate them. ”

"If it weren't for a few people who thought that the thieves might steal their land, maybe all of them would be able to stage a scene with me lying on the ground and crying poor, do you believe it or not?"

"Lord Feng, since they are so unpopular, it is better to just arrest them directly into the cell and ask them if they want it. If a person suspected of collaborating with the enemy is detained, even if the court wants to investigate it after the war, it will not be blamed. Wang Zhizheng suggested angrily.

"Don't, arresting people at will without solid evidence will mess up the entire Xiangcheng order. Don't wait until the anti-thieves have not yet called, Xiangcheng was opened by these people and voted for the anti-thieves. Feng Minghe rejected Wang Zhizheng's proposal and said.

"How dare they? I don't ask if the official's sword is unfavorable. Wang Zhizheng was furious, and then seemed to realize that he was wrong, calmed down and said slowly: "But Lord Feng is also reasonable, this matter is not considered by me. According to what Lord Feng said, we can only look at the will of heaven now. ”

"In this situation, we still have to work hard, and we can't wait for the will of God to be completely determined! Lord Wang, if you give you a few hundred more people, do you have the confidence to resist the attack of the thieves for half a day? Feng Minghe asked.

"Although I don't know how many anti-thieves will come to attack the city in the early stage, if Lord Feng can give me a few hundred more people, I am absolutely confident that I can block the attack of three or five thousand anti-thieves for half a day." Wang Zhizheng put away his face and said resolutely.

"Could it be that Lord Feng still has a good way to find someone to defend the city again?"

"There is no good way, it is nothing more than a matter of money and food. Although it is difficult to ask those gentry and township families to defend the city, it should still be okay to ask them to take some money, and they dare not give it. If they dare not give it, don't blame me for killing chickens and monkeys. Feng Minghe said in a deep voice, as if the air was a little colder.

"As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and after we have money and food, we can use the money to go to the city gate to recruit some strong people to defend the city. Now that the price of food in the city is skyrocketing, it is not too difficult to recruit more people. ”

"Well, Lord Feng is right. So do it! As long as Lord Feng can recruit hundreds more people, even if I try my best, I will drag until the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive. Wang Zhizheng said with an oath.

"Okay, if you say this, I'll be careful. Within today, I will recruit a few hundred more people for Lord Wang no matter what, and then Lord Wang will have to worry about the problem of city defense. Feng Minghe also took a resolute attitude and expressed his position.

Seven quarters in the hour

The sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear.

The outer suburbs of Xiangcheng, five miles away

Daexiang Mountain

As a hill in the plains, the terrain is mostly gentle. The mountains are mostly low shrubs, and there are few woods.

Suppression of bandits, forward troops marching office.

"Newspaper... Report to the regiment commander, another five miles ahead, our army can reach Xiangcheng. At this time, the troop's forward scouts came back to report.

"Okay, got it. You've worked hard, let's go down and rest first! Hearing this, Zhong Liyang, the commander of the new second regiment of the Chiye Army, was in a good mood and said to the scout.

"Yes—" The scout gave a military salute and withdrew.

"Haha, we're finally here. This Xiangcheng is our new second regiment. Zhong Liyang said arrogantly.

"Communicator..."

"To... Please instruct..."Hearing Zhong Liyang's call, the messenger on the side immediately came out and replied.

"Tell me to go down, all the staff will take a short rest, and then go to attack Xiangcheng." Zhong Liyang commanded.

"It's... Roger that. The communicator hurriedly replied.

"Commander Zhong, isn't it too risky for a thousand of us to attack Xiangcheng?" Hearing Zhong Liyang's order, Zhu Gui, the military leader on the side, came over and asked Zhong Liyang.

"Zhu Junzheng is right, there must be some risks, but how can you be afraid of a little danger when you fight? Besides, how many defenders can there be in Xiangcheng? When our army arrives at you, they are not ready to be captured? Zhong Liyang replied disappreciatively.

"However, this is a siege, not a field battle. If it's a field battle, I'm definitely not worried. If I attack the city, I'm afraid that my brother will be killed and injured too much. Zhu Gui voiced his concerns.

"It's okay, Zhu Jun is relieved. According to the information obtained by the scouts, Xiangcheng only has a thin city wall. The city wall is not a city wall, it is just higher than the courtyard of the landlord, and I don't even need a ladder, I jumped over it as soon as I jumped, it was like playing. So don't worry. Zhong Liyang comforted.

"But, after all, they are also protected by walls. If we attack a city, if there are too many casualties, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses after all. Zhu Gui had to worry.

It is not unreasonable for Zhu Jun to say this. However, if you don't dare to attack a small city like Xiangcheng, I'm too sorry for the dozens of conscienceless cannons that I asked the division commander for. Zhong Liyang replied.

"In that case, I won't say more, after all, you have the final say on military issues. However, I still have something to say first, if the situation is not right, I still have to stop you from attacking the city. Hearing Zhong Liyang's words, Zhu Gui couldn't persuade him anymore.

"Okay, Zhu Junzheng is relieved, I will not joke with the lives of the brothers. If those defenders in Xiangcheng are not interested, don't blame me for blowing them up. Zhong Liyang patted Zhu Guidian on the shoulder and said domineeringly.

……

Three quarters

The soldiers of the new second regiment, who received Zhong Liyang's order, sped up their steps and quickly arrived outside Xiangcheng.

At this time, Xiangcheng had already closed the city gates.

Outside the city, the new second regiment, which was preparing to attack the city, was preparing for the siege work in an orderly manner.

"Listen to you, the people of Xiangcheng will give you a pillar of incense, and immediately open the city gate and surrender, if you dare to resist, you will not be spared." Outside the city, the new second regiment was called down as usual.

"Hey, don't scream, we adults said, think about it." On the city wall, someone stuck out his head and answered them.
