Licheng is too big, compared to the 10,000 defenders, they have no way to control the entire city wall, just like Wanyan Zonghan's analysis, the Jin army has 60,000 people, so many people, in the face of the city wall that is not completely controlled, there is still a chance to attack the city.

The Jin army dispersed and began to attack the city from all sides.

Zhang Wu stood on the city wall, and at first he saw that the Jin army's offensive was weakening, and he was overjoyed, thinking that he had repelled the first wave of the Jin army's attack, and said to Hao Jingcheng with some joy: "Mr. Hao, great, the Jin army is about to withdraw its troops." ”

Hao Jingcheng looked at Zhang Wu in front of him, shook his head, and said, "Withdraw troops? How can it be? The real war has only just begun. ”

Zhang Wu heard Hao Jingcheng speak, frowned and said, "No, I look at the Jin Army's offensive as if it was not as fierce as just now." ”

Hao Jingcheng smiled and said: "Only by withdrawing the fist can we launch a more powerful attack, and now the Jin Army has just changed its attack strategy, and the next step should be regarded as the official siege of the Jin Army." ”

When Zhang Wu heard Hao Jingcheng say this, his face tightened, and he said to Hao Jingcheng: "Oh, if it's really like what the general said, then what should we do?" ”

Hao Jingcheng said indifferently: "General Zhang, don't worry, let's wait for work now, and it should be no problem to hold on for half a day." ”

"Although that's the case, but if it's really to defend the city, it's not so easy, if there are 50,000 soldiers and horses, I'm not worried, but now there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, these 10,000 soldiers and horses, and even the entire city wall is not satisfied, let alone defending the city." Zhang Wu said with a sad face.

Hao Jingcheng smiled and said: "General Zhang relaxes, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, it is not a big deal!" Don't panic! ”

As soon as Hao Jingcheng's words fell, at this time, a soldier hurriedly ran over and shouted at Zhang Wu from a distance: "It's not good, general, it's not good, it's not good, the Jin army has begun to attack the city." ”

After Zhang Wu heard this, his face changed, and he reprimanded: "What a panic, I didn't know that the Jin army was attacking the city, isn't the Jin army attacking the city now?" ”

The soldier hurriedly ran over and said to Zhang Wu, "General...... No, it was a large number of Jin troops on the western wall, and the Jin army seemed to want to attack the city in the west. ”

When Zhang Wu heard this, his heart tightened, and sure enough, the more he was worried about something, the more he would come, and the fact that the defenders of Licheng only had more than 10,000 people seemed to be clear to the Jin army, so at this time he chose to divide his troops to attack the city, which was the biggest challenge to the Song army defending the city.

Zhang Wu hurriedly ran to Hao Jingcheng's side, and said with some eagerness: "Lord Hao, look, what should we do in this situation now?" The Jin army really divided its troops and began to attack the city? There are more than 10,000 of us, how should we defend the city now! ”

Hao Jingcheng nodded and said to Zhang Wu: "General Zhang, don't panic, although there are only more than 10,000 soldiers guarding the city, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in our city." ”

When Zhang Wu heard what Hao Jingcheng said, he said with some doubts: "Lord Hao, what do you mean?" ”

Hao Jingcheng smiled and said: "What I mean is literally, this southern city wall will be handed over to you, no matter whether the Jin army really divides the troops, or is a suspicious strategy, this southern city wall must be the main battlefield of the Jin army, 8,000 soldiers are left for you to garrison at the south city gate, what do you think?" ”

When Zhang Wu heard Hao Jingcheng's order, he said a little anxiously: "Lord Hao, even if I guard the southern city gate, if the east and west walls are broken by someone, it will be useless!" ”

Hao Jingcheng nodded, and said to Zhang Wu: "Don't worry, Lord Zhang, the two walls of this thing will be handed over to us, you only need to send a thousand soldiers to each of the two walls, you can rest assured, both sides of this thing will not be breached." ”

Zhang Wu looked at Hao Jingcheng in front of him, Hao Jingcheng was dressed as a scholar, and he looked like a weak man, but what he said at this time made people feel convinced, this feeling was very strange, but Zhang Wu naturally believed it.

"Lord Hao, then the two walls of this thing will be handed over to you." Zhang Wu looked at Hao Jingcheng in front of him and said with some affection.

Hao Jingcheng nodded and said: "General Zhang, don't worry, then let's go our separate ways, General Yue's side I have already sent someone over, now half an hour has passed, hold on for two more hours, the Jin army will definitely be defeated, and when the time comes, you will be the great hero of this fight against the Jin army." ”

Zhang Wu was a little enthusiastic by Hao Jingcheng's words, although he was greedy for life and afraid of death, but that person didn't want to be a hero.

"Lord Hao, please!" Zhang Wu arched his hand at Hao Jingcheng and said.

So the two men went their separate ways.

"Lord Wen, this western city wall belongs to me, and the east city wall belongs to you, let's each bring a thousand soldiers, and then call on the young and middle-aged people in the city to come and assist us in defense." Hao Jingcheng said to Wen Buji as he walked.

Wen Buji heard what Hao Jingcheng said, nodded, to be honest, Wen Buer already admired Hao Jingcheng very much at this time, he really couldn't imagine that Hao Jingcheng would be so easy to persuade Zhang Wu.

After all, in Wen Buji's heart, Zhang Wu is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, how could he agree to Hao Jingcheng to do such a thing as sticking to the enemy, but Hao Jingcheng actually did it.

As for the reason, Wen Buji naturally asked Hao Jingcheng, Hao Jingcheng smiled, and said to Wen Buer: "Actually, you are thinking about things very complicated, the more afraid of death, in fact, the more persuasive people are, this fear of death is his weakness, everyone has weaknesses, as long as you find his weaknesses, then you can make him obedient." ”

Wen Buer heard what Hao Jingcheng said, if he realized, Hao Jingcheng said these words, although they sound very clear, but if they are really operated, it is not easy at all, just like this person's weakness, found it, how to force people to comply through this weakness, which is itself a kind of manipulation of people's hearts.

"Lord Hao, rest assured, our people have been mobilized throughout the city, and the people in the city are also very enthusiastic about us, and now there are fifty or sixty thousand young and middle-aged people recruited, these people just haven't been on the battlefield, but as soon as they heard that they were going to block the Jin Army, they rushed to sign up one by one." Wen Buji said with some pride.

Hao Jingcheng nodded, and said to Wen Buer: "Good job, then let's go our separate ways, stick to it for two hours, and Licheng will be saved!" ”
