Chapter 113: Arrangement
Wu Huan's reinforcements are finished.
At the head of Xiangping City, Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun looked at the direction of the battlefield from afar, and saw that Gongsun Xu's army was like a dog and a duck to repel Nanlin's troops and rush up to kill them, and they immediately knew in their hearts that the reinforcements they were waiting for were completely finished.
Qiu Liju moved at this time and wanted to give up Xiangping City and evacuate.
However, to withdraw under such a situation, Qiu Liju was really unwilling.
Xiangping City is a strong city, and he and Zhang Chun have countless materials in Xiangping City, which is the family wealth accumulated from the beginning of the chaos between him and Zhang Chun to the end, so that he can easily let go, he really can't let go.
The number of ordinary people in Xiangping City is more than 300,000, and there are only more than 10,000 people on Gongsun Xu's side, and after fighting this tough battle with the reinforcements of Xiangping City, the troops on Gongsun Xu's side will definitely not exceed 10,000.
Even if all these 10,000 people attacked the city, Qiu Liju was confident that he would defeat these people.
Qiu Liju's only concern was the trebuchet in Gongsun Xu's hand.
The power of the trebuchet was so great that it terrified him.
Many Han soldiers and Wuhuan soldiers in the city said that the Han army's trebuchet emitted stones, which was a kind of demon method, but Qiu Liju knew that it could never be a demon method, and it should be a new attack mode.
From the beginning of the Qin Dynasty to this time, the new weapons of attack continued to evolve, and many siege weapons would make people who had not seen this weapon scratch their heads, making people palpitate, and even having a sense of powerlessness.
Qiu Liju still has a worry, that is, there are only more than 200 cavalry left around him now, and in Xiangping City, there are at least tens of thousands of family heirs of the tribe attached to him, if he chooses to abandon Xiangping and flee for his life at this time, no tribe will be able to trust him in the future.
Once the trust is gone, he will be able to escape from Xiangping City and run to the Wuhuan Tower, but he will not have his current status and glory.
The number of cavalry of the Han army is quite large, once the people who lead the tribe leave on a large scale, they will inevitably be pursued and killed by the cavalry of the Han army, and at that time, the number of people who can survive will be, Qiu Liju really can't imagine.
Gongsun Chan chased him and Zhang Chun, and he didn't want to run away anymore, what should I do?
Qiu Liju's face was extremely ugly, and Zhang Chun's face was pale.
Zhang Chun saw that the reinforcements were gone, and his heart was extremely cold.
Nanlin's reinforcements can be said to be quite strong, that is enough for 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry, such a force, even able to walk sideways on the side of Xiangping without an opponent.
According to Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju's previous thoughts, even if the reinforcements of Nanlin could not win, they would consume the more than 10,000 Han troops, but the direction of the matter was really beyond their expectations, and the five thousand elite reinforcements of Nanlin were like stones sinking into the sea, just splashing some small splashes.
Zhang Chun commanded with a cold face: "Immediately recruit soldiers in the city, and the treatment is the same as that of the regular army." All the soldiers' salaries were doubled, and the daily meal was changed from two meals to three meals a day, and if one enemy was killed, he was rewarded with two taels of silver. Recruit the prime of life in the city to make tools to defend the city, and if you disobey, you will be put to death. But every great family in the city had horses, bows, and arrows, and they were to be requisitioned. Those who give horses and crossbows to our army will not be moved by the big families for the time being, and those who do not open their eyes and do not provide assistance to our army will be destroyed directly. ”
Zhang Chun is also determined to defend Xiangping City this time, and the rewards are all things outside the body, if the Han army breaks through Xiangping City, then these things will be made into a wedding dress for the Han army in vain.
Escape is impossible. The world is so big that there is no place for Zhang Chun. He has only one way to stick to Xiangping.
The Huairou policy was used in peacetime, and now that the Han army was approaching the city, it seemed that the city was about to be attacked, and at this time he had to use an iron fist to deal with those big families in the city, even if he offended all of them, he did not hesitate.
A series of orders were issued by Zhang Chun, looking at Qiu Liju who was like a wood carving clay sculpture over there, he strode over and said, "Lord Qiu, if you continue to arrange like this, do you have anything else to add?" Xiangping City is a strong city, as long as the two of us work together, we will definitely be able to hold Xiangping in a stable manner. ”
Zhang Chun saw Qiu Liju glance at him blankly, turned into silence, and continued: "It has always been a succession and defeat, but now the victory or defeat is not decided. Don't be discouraged! We still have a chance to fight. As long as they hold on to Xiangping City for a month, these Han troops will retreat. ”
Zhang Chun knew in his heart that there should be two reasons why Qiu Liju was distracted at this time, one was that Qiu Liju's cavalry was basically gone, and there were more than 200 people left. The reinforcements they were counting on had also been dispersed by this time, and they were in a situation of being left alone.
The second is that Qiu Liju has a sense of awe for the stone-throwing weapons that the Han army has made, and lacks some confidence in holding Xiangping City.
Qiu Liju looked at Zhang Chun, a smile forced out of his face, he twitched the corners of his mouth twice self-deprecatingly, and said to Zhang Chun: "I'm not good at defending the city, everything in the city is up to you, and I'll do the rest."
After Qiu Liju finished speaking, he patted Zhang Chun's shoulder with a gloomy face, and walked down to the city gate with a somewhat staggering step.
Qiu Liju is not confident enough to hold Xiangping City, he is ready to make preparations with both hands, Zhang Chun depends on him no matter how he does, it is best to be able to hold Xiangping City, once Xiangping is lost, he will be able to escape from this damn ghost place.
Even at this time, Qiu Liju didn't figure out where the Han army they were facing suddenly came from, nor did he figure out when there was such a thing as a trebuchet in Youzhou.
When Qiu Liju walked down the city gate, it was when Gongsun Zhan and Meng Yi received information from their surroundings.
The two of them couldn't believe it, they just let Gongsun Xu go to Xiangping to practice and practice disgusting Liu Yu, and didn't let Liu Yu and Qiu Liju reach such an agreement, they really didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Gongsun Xu actually won Qingfeng Cottage and Hurricane Village one after another, and expanded the team to more than 10,000 people.
The most speechless thing for the two of them was that after Gongsun Xu attacked Qingfeng Cottage and Storm Village, he actually blocked the news for a week, and when they received this news, Gongsun Xu should have arrived in Xiangping City at this time.
Meng Yi and Gongsun Zhan couldn't move troops at this time, so they could only send scouts constantly to let them quickly pass the news from Xiangping's side.
