Chapter 112: Soldiers Descend on the City
There are a total of 3,000 garrisons in Dongyang County, and although it is still impossible for the troops to fight a siege battle, at least if they encounter the rebels outside the city, it is enough to deal with it.
The local garrisons are all in charge of the county guards of a county, so if Li Yang wants to transfer troops, Wang Youxian naturally cannot refuse.
Moreover, now that the 30,000 iron horsemen came to quell the chaos and disappeared, it is well known that the thieves of Pei County and Xiang County next door will not dare to come to fight Dongyang County at this time, they are bound to honestly guard their own city and wait for the battle, so the defenders of Dongyang County are transferred away, and there is no worry about Dongyang County.
Five hundred feather forests, came to the garrison barracks of the garrison place.
The formation of the Yulin army immediately came out with the local army.
The Yulin Army, all of them are mighty and majestic, wearing black armor, and their momentum is overwhelming, especially under the backdrop of the fierce mask, the murderous aura exuded from the body directly makes the local army look a little frightened.
If these local troops were enemy troops at this time, Li Yang believed that although the Yulin army only had 500 people, as long as these 500 people rushed into the barracks, they would definitely be able to kill these 3,000 local defenders on their backs and flee in defeat.
Li Yang didn't delay much, and asked Wang Youxian to immediately gather his troops and horses, bring grain and grass and set off.
Let's go to Pei County together......
…………
At the same time, in the county council hall of Pei County.
"Report!"
A thief scout trotted into the conference hall and reported to Liu Jiyu: "Report, the big thing is not good, Qin ...... The Qin army is here! ”
"What?"
Suddenly, everyone in the council hall was taken aback when they heard this, and immediately stood up.
Xiao He chuckled in his heart, knowing that the deadline had finally arrived!
Liu Ji was shocked: "Where is the Qin army, how many men and horses are there?" ”
The spy said: "The villain saw the Qin army coming in Huaiyin County, all of them were Yulin Army, tall and majestic, and with 30,000 iron horses, it is said that they want to take us directly." ”
"Thirty thousand iron horsemen? Feather Forest Army! ”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at each other for a while.
Now, they have more than 10,000 troops in their hands, and they are all composed of a group of ordinary people, not to mention the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, which is inferior to the local garrison. And now, there are 30,000 iron horsemen, and they are still the Yulin Army, which is ...... Can you keep everyone from being afraid?
"How could it be the Yulin Army?" Xiao He frowned and became suspicious, and hurriedly said, "Are you sure you read it right?" ”
The spy nodded affirmatively, and said: "How could the little one be mistaken, the person who led the troops was Li Yang, the prime minister of the Central People, and the people of Huaiyin County went out of the city to greet them, and the little one was among them, and I saw it with my own eyes." ”
"It turned out to be him!"
As soon as he heard this, Xiao He suddenly realized: "No wonder there will be a Yulin Army going out, it is said that Li You, the general in charge of the Yulin Army, is appointed under Li Yang." ”
When everyone learned that this was true, they were even more worried.
With a look of panic, Liu Ji hurriedly asked, "Are the 30,000 iron horsemen also resting in Huaiyin City at this time?" ”
The spy replied: "The little one didn't see the 30,000 iron horsemen, but only heard about it." ”
"What, you haven't seen anyone's army, and you dare to say nonsense that he has 30,000 iron horsemen?" Fan Hao was annoyed at the time and scolded.
Liu Ji also frowned, looking angry.
The spy hurriedly said: "The little one is not talking nonsense, although the little one didn't see the 30,000 iron horsemen with his own eyes, but he heard the prime minister say this to the king of Dongyang County. ”
Then, the spies told what they had seen and heard in Huaiyin County today, and told them exactly the word......
After listening to the spies' detailed report, everyone fell silent.
Fan Hao said: "What 30,000 iron horsemen, since the army did not appear, it means that this is a deliberate bluff, in my opinion, maybe Li Yang is deliberately intimidating us." ”
Liu Ji turned his head to look at Xiao He and asked, "What does Lord Xiao think?" ”
Xiao He smiled bitterly: "If the king of Dongyang County, Youxian, came with troops and said that there were 30,000 iron horsemen, it would naturally be a bluff. But ......"
Speaking of this, Xiao He glanced at Fan Hao and smiled bitterly: "Li Yangnai is a prince of Yang, the prime minister in the official residence, and what a noble person, he sent troops to quell the chaos this time, is it possible that General Fan thinks that the emperor will let him bring five hundred Yulin guards to quell the chaos."
"This ......," Fan Xue was speechless.
Yes, Li Yang came from Jingshi, if he didn't come with a large army, it would be too ridiculous.
Liu Ji said with a solemn face: "In this way, the 30,000 iron horses that Li Yang said should be true." ”
Xiao He nodded: "It must be true." ”
Everyone present also nodded, agreeing with Xiao He's inference.
Joke, a Chinese prime minister personally went out to quell the chaos, how could it be possible if he didn't bring tens of thousands of Qin elite soldiers!
On the contrary, if Li Yang said that he only brought 500 soldiers, everyone would not believe it.
If you are a fool, you can't do it!
At this time, the spy added: "When the little one came back, he took the small road, and the Qin army should be almost under the city at this time. ”
"Oh? So fast! ”
Everyone was nervous.
Xiao He's eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "This is the speed of the soldiers, obviously Li Yang wants to take down Pei County in one go." This also shows even more that he came prepared with a large army. ”
"30,000 iron horsemen, big brother, we only have more than 10,000 people, and we can't meet them at all." Xiahou Ying said worriedly.
Zhou Bo also said: "If you go out of the city, you will undoubtedly lose, and now it is only advisable to go to the city wall and stick to it." ”
Liu Ji nodded, but he still turned his head and asked Xiao He: "Lord Xiao, how do you think you should retreat from the enemy this time?" ”
Xiao He smiled bitterly and retreated from the enemy? Do you retreat from the enemy in your dreams?
People came with 30,000 iron horsemen, elite soldiers and strong generals, let alone retreat from the enemy, it is difficult to defend the city.
When the Qin army did not arrive, the original army here was unstable and the people's hearts were scattered, if it wasn't for a plan a few days ago to let Fan Hao disguise himself as the Qin army to kill deserters outside the city, temporarily stabilizing some people's hearts, otherwise there would still be 10,000 troops in the city at this time? It would be nice to have a thousand people left.
Now, as long as the Qin army is majesticly set up a position under the city, the hungry people in the city, who were farmers a month ago, will tremble with fear in an instant.
At that time, as long as the Qin army shouted to surrender and not kill, the defenders in the city might open the city gate obediently? It's even hard to be a little bold, and they directly tied up all the people in this chamber, and they might not be able to take it to invite merit.
Thinking of this, Xiao He sighed, shook his head, and said, "Liu Ji, do you want to listen to the truth, or listen to good words?" ”
Liu Ji said: "Naturally, I listened to the truth." ”
Xiao He said: "The truth is that Peixian has nothing to defend, and it should be rushed before the arrival of the Qin army, immediately abandon the city and flee, and return to Mangdang Mountain." ”
"This ............"
Everyone was directly dumbfounded.
However, in the entire conference hall, no one refuted Xiao He's words, because everyone actually knew in their hearts that things could not be done.
10,000 defenders, no armor, no weapons, holding hoes, and more importantly, under the prospect of the implementation of the new policy for project bidding, everyone is disheartened, and there is no hope for rebellion. Is this possible?
It can be said that no one has such faith at this time.
However, Liu Ji was a little unwilling and said, "Is there no way?" ”
Xiao He didn't answer him this question, but asked inexplicably: "Liu Ji, what do you want?" ”
Liu Ji was stunned for a moment and said, "If we surrender, I don't know if we can let the Qin army be absorbed, and we brothers can have a future." ”
When they heard this, their eyes lit up.
For them at this time, what is anti-Qin and anti-Qin, it is all, if they can rely on these more than 10,000 troops at this time, it is worth it to have a future in the Qin army.
Xiao He smiled helplessly and said, "It's difficult! There is no hope unless we can hold the city. ”
When they heard this, they were silent for a while.
After a while, Liu Ji said: "Although it is difficult, but now, it is difficult to hold!" ”
Since Liu Ji made a decision, Xiao He had no choice but to say: "In this case, in order to prevent the defenders in the city from escaping, the person responsible for guarding the city gate must be replaced by a reliable personal soldier." ”
Liu Ji nodded, and then immediately said to everyone: "Fan Xu, Xiahou Ying, and Zhou Bo, you have also heard the words of Lord Xiao, hurry up and do it, no one can escape, this battle must be held by me." ”
The crowd took the order, and then exited the council chamber.
At this time, Cao Shen walked in quickly and said, "Big brother, it's not good, the Qin army has arrived in the city!" ”
