Chapter 105: Battle of Xiangcheng II

Li Zicheng under the city is watching the enemy's array, and Wang Qiaonian at the head of the city is also watching Li Zicheng under the city.

It's just that Wang Qiaonian didn't know that the person below was Li Zicheng. He just felt that the leader of the thieves, surrounded by hundreds of guards, must be the big leader among the thieves. Miles away, Wang Qiao's old eyes were dizzy, and he couldn't see clearly. It's just that he can't see the face of the person on the other side clearly.

But there are some things that can be seen.

It's nothing else, it's the military appearance of the righteous army.

Tens of thousands of troops are divided into camps, each with a strong wall to wait for the enemy, and the enemy's horse team, without a trace of noise, all of them are distinctly armored, the men and horses are majestic, and there is a hidden murderous aura, and they are good at a glance, but Wang Qiaonian looks at the soldiers around him, but most of the strong men in Xiangcheng are strong, and the remnants of the Qin army brought over are few.

The quality of such personnel is completely incomparable with the thief on the opposite side.

In these years, officials are like thieves, and thieves are like officials. There is a wordless sense of irony.

Wang Qiaonian saw Li Zicheng and his party leaving, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, taking Liu Hanchen and a group of Xiangcheng gentry and students, and still in Jia, Deputy General was mainly based on the remnants of the Qin army, and was divided into left and right. He led more than 100 followers to inspect the city walls, and everywhere he went, they were neat and solemn.

Wang Qiaonian knew that these people might have waited for him to come over before they put on such an official appearance, but he also knew that it would be good to be able to put on a look, and said: "The soldiers in the city, to have such a style is the credit of Hanchen." ”

Liu Hanchen, together with Zhang Yongqi, are the leaders among the gentry in Xiangcheng, and both have fame.

Liu Hanchen is thirty or forty years old, tall, with a Chinese face, a long beard, a serious person, not smiling, looking like a general, better than a Confucian student. At this moment, he is wearing battle armor, pressing a sword on his waist, and carrying a total of three or four long knives on his body.

"Don't dare to be a supervisor and praise. However, the thieves are brutal, and the county has an indissoluble enmity with the thieves, and the thieves do not treat the sky together. Liu Hanchen said.

"The people of Xiangcheng, morale is available." Wang Qiaonian said.

Suddenly, a soldier came up, beside Adjutant General Jia, whispered, and Adjutant General Jia said, "Supervisor, the thieves have withdrawn the southern camp. ”

"It's just an old trick that is missing one." Wang Qiaonian sneered.

However, many strategies are not afraid of being old-fashioned, and the more old-fashioned they are, the more useful they are. For example, at this moment, many Qin army generals were moved. Without him, they thought that Xiangcheng was already dead, staying in Xiangcheng, in the broken city, the chance of survival was very small, if they fled at this moment, they might be ambushed by the righteous army halfway. But there is always a lot to escape, and there is still a glimmer of life.

Wang Qiaonian's ability to fight may not have reached home, but his ability to observe words and colors is first-class, and he immediately felt the fluctuation of the Qin army.

Although the Qin army was small in number, it was the backbone of the Xiangcheng garrison, and as if they were gone, Xiangcheng could not be defended at all. Wang Qiaonian made a decision in the blink of an eye.

"Hanchen." Wang Qiaonian said.

"The students are here." Liu Hanchen said.

Wang Qiaonian said: "Send a few people to gather the people of Xiangcheng and block all the city gates." I, Wang, live and die with Xiangcheng. ”

"Yes." Liu Hanchen said.

The gentry around Liu Hanchen breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Qiaonian could escape, the Qin army could escape, but the local gentry in Xiangcheng could never escape. Seeing Wang Qiaonian say this, they naturally breathed a sigh of relief, the situation has come to this point, and they can't afford to regret it, so they can only pin their hopes of victory on Wang Qiaonian.

"Looking at the other side, there seems to be a lot of new soil, and the thieves are probably digging tunnels. Can Hänchen be prepared? Wang Qiaonian said.

"The students have been prepared for a long time." Liu Hanchen said.

"Oh." Wang Qiaonian said: "What preparation? ”

Liu Hanchen said: "Please move to the city." ”

Under the guidance of Liu Hanchen, Wang Qiaonian went down the city wall, and as soon as he arrived at the city wall, he saw that at the foot of the city wall, there were many large vats, buried deep in the ground. Only the rim of the ring is more than a foot high. This is earth listening. There is still some water at the bottom of the floor, which can be spread all over the bottom. I don't know if the water below is left by the rain and snow of the previous days. Or deliberately get some water in.

"Listen?" Wang Qiaonian said.

"Exactly." Liu Hanchen said. "Within the city wall, between a few zhang, there is a ground listening, there are hundreds of people listening around the city, each mouth listening, there is a special person in charge, where there is the slightest movement in the ground, can not escape the supervision of the ground listening, only the thief tunnel is close to the city wall, we dig from the opposite side, first attack it with fireworks, and then flood it. and bury the thieves in the tunnels. ”

Wang Qiaonian smiled slightly and said, "With Hanchen here, I don't have to worry about it." ”

"Just." Liu Hanchen said: "Students don't worry about thieves attacking. But is there one thing that worries? ”

"Where?" Wang Qiaonian asked.

"My lord, please follow me." Liu Hanchen said while leading the way for Wang Qiaonian.

But after a while, I came to a place in the East City. Liu Hanchen said: "This place is the place where the thieves destroyed the city, after the thieves broke the Xiangcheng, they originally wanted to destroy the city wall, so someone began to demolish the city wall from here, and then the thieves ordered people to guard the Xiangcheng. The thief will recruit the fathers and elders of Xiangcheng to rebuild this place, the fathers and elders are not happy to follow the thieves, and the thieves do not understand the civil construction, so the construction is very sloppy, this point, the thieves also know, I am worried that if the thieves storm this place,

The city wall here will not hold on. ”

After Wang Qiaonian heard this, he also looked solemn, pulled out the long sword on his body, and stabbed it into the city wall with a sword, more than half a foot deep. With such a city wall, how can it withstand the onslaught of thieves. Although Wang Qiaonian despises thieves, he also knows that thieves have today's victory, and they are by no means ordinary people. Needless to say, this is the place where the confrontation between Japan will be fiercest.

"Adjutant General Jia." Wang Qiaonian said.

"The end will be." Vice General Jia suddenly agreed, bowed and saluted, and the armor pieces on his body jingled, like silver bells.

"Bring my royal banner over." Wang Qiaonian said.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the emperor granted the privilege of officials at all levels, and the low-level officials had the right to make decisions on the spot. Just like the Shang Fang sword mentioned in the play, the royal flag is a silk flag several feet large, with a big "order" on it, hanging on the two-zhang long flagpole. It is where Wang Qiaonian's authority lies.

"Yes." Adjutant General Jia agreed loudly.

However, after a while, four flag officers came to protect the royal flag.

Wang Qiaonian immediately went to the city, stepping on the most unsturdy city wall, the king ordered the flag to follow behind Wang Qiaonian, Wang Qiaonian sat down at the head of the city, and the four flag officers were behind Wang Qiaonian, protecting the flag. Wang Qiaonian said: "When defending the city, I was here, if the city is broken, this place is my burial place, I hope you will live up to the hope of the monarch and father, and the heart of the people will not be ashamed." Try your best to defend the city, wait for General Zuo to join forces with the outside, and break the thieves under Xiangcheng. Henan is also a world of peace. ”

"Yes." Liu Hanchen and others loudly agreed.

Wang Qiaoniannai reiterated the ban. With the support of the gentry from all over Xiangcheng, they tried their best to prepare to defend the city, and the young and strong climbed the city to defend the city. The healthy woman prepares to roll stones and wood. But where there are many rolling stones and sasswoods in the city, all the houses that are not used in the city are demolished. Henan has been suffering from famine for several years, and many people have died, so the room is naturally empty.

However, even if it is vacated, how much can be vacated, if it takes a long time, I am afraid that it will be demolished into a white land in Xiangcheng.

And the old and weak made a fire to cook and carried it to the city.

It can be said that the entire Xiangcheng has become a military city under the command of Wang Qiaonian.

I have to say that Wang Qiaonian may have a taste of talking on paper on top of field decisions, but after all, he is a long-term magistrate, and his organizational ability is still good, and he has brought the manpower and material resources of tens of thousands of people to the extreme. In the eyes of civil officials, the battle to defend the city is not much different from the construction of rivers, the construction of cities, and other projects. It's not so much about prowess as it's about organizational skills.

Therefore, there are many civilian officials who can fight to defend the city, and field warfare is another craft. There are few civilian officials who can defeat the enemy in the field.

At this moment, Xiangcheng City is small, and under the command of Wang Qiaonian, it has also become an iron walnut.
