Chapter 148: The Whole City is on Alert
Li Zhen thought for a while and said: "Through today's battle, the Hui people must have an understanding of our strength, the reason why they are not in a hurry to attack the city is precisely because they know that with our little strength we can't hold Jingcheng City at all, if my prediction is right, tonight will rest for a night, tomorrow is the time for the Hui people to attack the city with all their might!" ”
Gao Yu nodded when he heard this, and said, "Yes, although we have caused some trouble to the Hui people today, it is only because we appeared relatively suddenly, if we are allowed to do it again, I don't think any of us will want to enter the city alive!" ”
"Well, so I'm afraid the Hui people don't take our strength seriously at all, such a huge disparity in strength may be a dead end for us, but this is also a place where we can make full use of it!"
Speaking of this, Li Zhen stared at Gao Biao tightly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When Gao Biao heard this, he frowned and fell into deep thought, and only after a moment did he slowly say: "Zeyuan, what do you mean......"
Gao Yu didn't finish speaking, but Li Zhen knew that he had fully understood what he meant.
"Yes, as long as you take it by surprise, although you can't inflict heavy damage on the enemy army, you can at least deal a heavy blow to their morale!" Li Zhen then said.
"Good! Since there is no other way, there is only this way to try! Once it is successful, it will be beyond the power of the Hui people to attack the city tomorrow! ”
The family has been a military general for generations, and Gao Biao has all the qualities that a good general should have, decisive, calm, brave and fearless.
More importantly, he can listen to other people's advice, after all, for such a thing as commanding operations, Li Zhen, who has no experience, is too far behind Gao Piao, and Gao Piao's ability to accept this suggestion quickly at this moment is enough to show that he is by no means narrow-minded.
"Then I'll go and prepare, you can take care of your injuries, and we'll take care of the rest! Old bones, come with me! After Gao Yu saluted Li Zhen's crossed hands, he couldn't help but pull Gu Duoda out.
After Gao Yu left, Li Zhen struggled to stand up and said to Yan Heng: "Help me up!" ”
"Don't get up!"
At this moment, I saw Zhao Wan walking in with the soup that had just been hot, with a gloomy face.
Li Zhen smiled bitterly: "What I plan tonight is very important, I have to go and see!" ”
"Then don't get up, Lang Zhong in the city said that you hurt your flesh and bones, and you must stay in bed to recuperate!" Zhao Wan said stubbornly, and then held a copper spoon and sent a mouthful of medicinal soup to Li Zhen's lips.
Seeing this, Yan Heng sneered and said, "Can you two avoid me?" This is too bad for me to be an outsider! ”
Zhao Wan turned to glare at Yan Heng and said, "Why don't you feed it?" ”
Yan Heng waved his hand again and again when he heard this: "If you let me feed it, I'm afraid I'll break Da Lang's mouth and pour it directly!" Are you willing? ”
Zhao Wan's face flushed, and then she glanced at Yan Heng, and picked up the copper spoon to feed Li Zhen with medicine, seeing Li Zhen's low expression, Zhao Wan immediately sighed lightly, and said: "Alas, I know that you are lying here honestly, and your heart is still not at peace, I will accompany you out after drinking this bowl of medicine, but you have to promise me that I can't stay too long!" ”
Li Zhen's face suddenly turned happy when he heard this, and he nodded yes again and again, and then without waiting for Zhao Wan to feed him, he picked up the bowl and drank the bitter medicinal soup.
......
The arrival of Li Zhen and others undoubtedly made the county Wei Zhang Zuo have a kind of joy of surviving, and today's feat of everyone outside the city with a mere 300 cavalry to make the Hui people's formation chaotic is even more encouraging, but when he really understood the true situation of this group of reinforcements, Zhang Zuo's heart immediately fell to the bottom again.
It is undeniable that the combat power of these three hundred cavalry is strong, and it is undeniable that whether it is the fierce as a wolf Gu Duoda, or the wise and wise Gao Pi, and even Zheng Jin, who looks like a weak scholar, has shown an incredibly tenacious and brave side.
But, so what? The strength of the Hui people still exists, and the threat to the county town has not diminished in the slightest, and today's hard fighting is just to temporarily weaken the morale of the Hui people.
After that, Jingcheng City still couldn't change the fate of the city's destruction and death, and the county Wei, who had just taken office, still had to watch the people being brutally slaughtered by the Hui people.
Without the support of follow-up reinforcements, with only such a small number of troops, it is absolutely impossible for the Hui people to retreat.
At this time, the command and defense of Jingcheng City had been taken over by Zheng Zhen and Gao Piao, and the young and strong laborers between the ages of 16 and 50 in the city were forcibly conscripted, and they took up their farm tools without weapons, and did not have enough bricks and stones to repair the city defenses, so they demolished their idle houses to take their masonry.
Under the threat of foreigners, the performance of everyone in this small county town touched the hearts of outsiders like Gao Piao, after all, they were just ordinary people, they seemed so small in front of the Uighur army, and so powerless in the face of killing, but even so, they were unwilling to be killed, and they were unwilling to let the small city they live in become the target of the Uighurs' wanton anger and humiliation.
They are resisting, even if the final result is an unavoidable tragedy, but they can hold their heads high and say to the people of the world: We are worthy of the Tang Dynasty, worthy of our parents and wives, and worthy of future generations! We're a man, and we're even more worthy of that stuff in our crotch!
The night breeze is blowing, the autumn is cool, Li Zhen stood at the head of the city with the support of Zhao Wan and Yan Heng, his injuries were serious, Li Zhen's body was a little trembling, Zhao Wan immediately put on a fur robe for him.
Through the dark night, you can vaguely see the bonfires in the camp of the Hui people, and the Jingcheng City behind them is also brightly lit, at this time almost the whole city of the people are mobilized, to participate in this race against time in the battle of city defense, Zhang Zuo stared at the bloodshot eyes are directing people to transport sand and gravel to the city, the county commander and the county Cheng are directing the collection of grain and grass for each family, and the women and old people in the city are busy preparing soup for those men.
Everything looks busy, but it is in order, and what you see on everyone's face is not frightened, not dazed, but confident, a natural self-confidence.
"Yan Heng, where do you say their confidence comes from?" Li Zhen turned around and looked at a group of women who were busy and said softly.
Yan Heng looked at it and thought about it, but he still didn't know how to answer, "I don't know, anyway, with you, I'm not afraid!" ”
After hearing this, Li Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "You're not afraid, I'm so scared!" ”
Yan Heng held Li Zhen's arm with one hand, and pointed to the sturdy man who was carrying sand and gravel under the city with the other, and said, "Do you see that person?" ”
