Sheet 71 Defense
In the 5,000-year history, the elites of China have pursued the fame of their teachers in the same line, and a wave of ordinary Chinese neighbors have been affected without exception. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 But what he didn't know was that in Chinese ethics, defending the homeland never needed a name, because it was the most righteous thing in itself.
The people of Pingcheng protect Pingcheng, where the Tao is, where the righteousness is, all the people work together to destroy the enemy, what is Zhao Jie afraid of?
After hearing Zhao Jie's arrogant words, Zhamuhe, who was categorically refused, suddenly felt a great loss of face, and ordered angrily: "The whole army attacks, the first to enter the city, the money is at their own discretion, and the women are the first to choose......"
With the order given, the Xiongnu vanguard troops quickly moved into action. "Shoot!" At the sound of an order, one arrow after another flew towards the top of the castle tower with the help of the horse's momentum.
"Uh-", "Ah-", "Shhh......h On the city wall, the various cries made by the people who were wounded by arrows came and went, and the people scattered and fled when they heard the sounds.
"Don't you want to die?" Zhao Jie, who was bending over and running on the city tower, jumped up, threw a panicked person to the ground, and said angrily: "Everyone bend down, hide under the battlement, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack." ”
"If you want to live long, do what I say!" Zhao Jie looked at the stupid young man under him and said with a stern face.
"Yes, yes!" The young soldier below him replied solemnly, and then according to Zhao Jie's order, he leaned over under a battlement nearby.
Zhao Jie nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Where is your chief on the city wall?" The soldier shook his head, and then a loud and hearty voice came into Zhao Jie's ears, and a vicissitudes of life attracted Zhao Jie's attention.
"I am the city gate official of the north gate, my surname is Fan Wuya, I don't know what the son has to ask about the villain." North Gate Fan Wuya reported his name.
"My son has just returned to Pingcheng and wants to know some specific situations. Without investigation, there is no right to speak, and only by understanding the specific situation in the city can an effective decision be made about the war. Zhao Jie explained.
"Childe doesn't have to be polite, the county commander Lord Zhao once instructed me to wait: If he is not in Pingcheng, everything will be under your orders." Arrows flew over Fan Wuya's head from time to time, but he still said with a fearless face: "Even if you ask, the little one must know everything!" ”
"First question, when did Zhao Xianling leave the city?" Zhao Jie bent down and walked to Fan Wuya's side, squatted down and asked.
"Two hours ago, with the wolf smoke in the northwest, Lord Zhao hurried to the army training camp outside the city, saying that he wanted to bring back thousands of soldiers intact to help defend the city. Fan Wuya sighed in a low voice and said, "The strong army is out and can't return, God won't bless me Pingcheng!" ”
"Nonsense! Such words that affect the morale of the military must not be said again, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law. Zhao Jie shouted angrily and continued: "The second question, how many trained civilian troops are there in Pingcheng today?"
"Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, a total of seven or eight hundred people," Fan Wuya replied pessimistically: "Many of the people standing on this city wall today are children who have never touched swords, guns, swords, halberds, and old people who have long known the destiny of heaven, and there are as many as four or five thousand people in the city towers on all sides. ”
Zhao Jie frowned when he heard this, and then said to himself: "The common people are not very experienced, and the overall strength is not sufficient, but with this tall city tower and the inferior siege skills of the Huns, there should be no problem in defending it for ten days and half a month." The biggest problem now is food and grass! “
Fan Wuya interjected when he heard this: "Because it has just been harvested in the autumn, most of the people's tax grain is in the treasury of the city, and it has not yet been handed over to the county guard, as long as this batch of grain is used, within a month, the soldiers will not be hungry." ”
Zhao Jie shook his head, and then explained: "The city is besieged, the grain and rice are not entered, and the common people can initially rely on the inventory to survive, but after a long time, the grain will be exhausted. If you want to defend the city, you have to make sure that there is no internal chaos, so the hungry people have to be almsgiving, so there is a high probability that there will be a shortage of food. ”
Fan Wuya was stunned when he heard this, and asked anxiously, "What should I do then?" ”
Zhao Jie lowered his head and muttered for a while, and then said: "Release the carrier pigeons and eagles raised in the city, tell Zhao County about our difficulties, let him collect as much food as possible, and then open a passage to send them into the city." ”
"Are you sure that Zhao County Ling can get in with the thousands of recruits under his command?" Fan Wuya looked at Zhao Jie suspiciously.
Zhao Jie nodded solemnly, and then swore an oath: "I believe in them!." As soon as the words fell, the sound of the retreating horn suddenly sounded, and then the Hun cavalry under the city retreated, and the dense arrow rain gradually thinned out.
"The Huns actually retreated, why at this time? How can we respond? Fan Wuya asked in surprise.
"Either something special and new is happening in the Xiongnu army, or it is a temporary retreat to discuss the method of siege." Zhao Jie pondered for a while, and then concluded: "No matter what, as long as we respond to all changes with the same, we will not make mistakes." Let the brothers on the four walls take this opportunity to conserve their strength, treat the wounded, and prepare for battle. ”
"Yes!" Fan Wuya responded solemnly: "Arrange it immediately!" ”
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Under the city, the Hun military camp, Zhamu and sat in the tent, and the officers solemnly stood on both sides of the head.
"Da Shan Yu just sent a letter, asking me to send most of my men to Shanwu City to help, and now that Pingcheng has not come down, what do you say I should do!" Zamuhe said with a depressed face.
"Patriarch, you can do what you say, and I will only listen to your orders." Zha Muhe's younger brother Zha Tusheng said with a big grin: "You let me go west, I will never go east, let me kill chickens and never slaughter dogs!" ”
Hearing this, a trace of contempt flashed in Zha Muhe's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, and he scolded with a smile: "You fool, the eldest brother will entrust you with the most important task, don't be in such a hurry to show loyalty." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zha Muhe continued: "Everyone present is a long-time battle-hardened person, but what can you do to teach so-and-so? Please feel free to speak. ”
"Zhao Ren has a saying: Ten rules surround it. Now there are still thousands of soldiers in Pingcheng City, which happens to be the same as the number of our army, and it is not a few days to break the city. The last general thought that when the whole army retreated and joined Shan Yu, it would be safe and easy to gain. A veteran with a vicissitudes of face on the left side of the next head came forward to talk about his views.
