While the Jin army was busy preparing siege equipment, the city of Jinzhou was also brightly lit and busy.

On the orders of Qiu Hejia, the governor of Liaodong, Shi Dayong, who acted for the defense of Jinzhou, must do everything possible to organize the defense of Jinzhou City.

He didn't know if Lu Dao Hongtai would come to attack Jinzhou immediately after dawn, but he knew that Lu Dao's death would definitely anger Hong Tai.

Even if it were himself, he would definitely be angered by Zu Dashou's death. After besieging the city for so long, he forced Zu Dashou to lead his troops to surrender, and he was killed without playing any role, and Jinzhou is still an extremely empty city, Hong Tai does not lead the army to attack, I am afraid that it is not Hong Tai.

Jinzhou's defense has been organized since Shi Dayong fled and returned yesterday evening. Sun Chengzong rushed to Shanhaiguan overnight, although Song Wei was the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, but there were only seven subordinates, and Qiu Hejia was not trusted, so Qiu Hejia did not ask him to organize the affairs of defending the city. Instead, he fully supported Shi Dayong to organize the defense of the city, it can be said that he has completely delegated power, and the soldiers and civilians in the city should have materials but need to defend the city, Shi Dayong can be requisitioned immediately.

The reinforcements were defeated, Dalinghe City was in danger, Qiu Hejia couldn't take care of it so much, he understood that his governor of Liaodong was probably coming to an end, if Jinzhou was lost again, he had no other way to go except to thank the world.

Song Wei also had self-knowledge, and under the defeat, all thoughts were lost, and he had a very good impression of Shi Dayong, so he did not interfere with Shi to defend the city. Others, such as Zuo Liangyu and others, are either inferior to Shi Dayong in official positions, or inferior to Shi Dayong, and it is impossible for them to jump out against Shi Dayong and be responsible for the city defense.

In this way, Shi Dayong has the "harmony" part, with Qiu Hejia's full support, Song Wei's tacit support, and the obedience of the generals below, and the Songshan Army at the headquarters working together, and the Jinzhou defenders, basically there will be no mistakes.

However, "people" are only in the army, and there is some chaos in the common people.

…………

With the news of the annihilation of the army, with the return of the deserters, the city of Jinzhou was already known. The big families began to pack up their soft and prepare to flee to Ningyuan before the Jin army came. The people also helped the old and the young to retreat, but when they reached the south gate, they were told by the defenders that the governor had ordered that from now on, no one could leave Jinzhou, even a chicken should stay in Jinzhou.

The gentry who knew the details of the defenders in the city did not believe that Jinzhou could hold it, they were afraid that Jinzhou would be besieged by the Jin army like Dalinghe City, and they were afraid that after the city was broken, their old scorpion would be taken captive to the north by Jiannu and become their slaves, and the wealth they had accumulated would become the pockets of others.

After asking people to go to the prefect's yamen and the governor's yamen to intercede to no avail, some timid gentry began to mobilize the fleeing Jinzhou people to make trouble, they surrounded the city gate and pushed the defenders, and scolded the governor Qiu Hejia and the guard general Shi Dayong, saying that they wanted to kill the people of the whole city for their own life and death

Under the deliberate rendering of those gentry and slaves, coupled with the fear of Jiannu for more than ten years, the people began to boil, and they began to storm the city gate as those slaves began, and the agitated even attacked the defenders with wooden sticks.

The defenders of the south gate were 500 guards led by Liu Zeyi and Wang An, and they had no will to fight, and Liu Zeyi and Wang An secretly discussed to lead their troops to flee Jinzhou, so in the face of the impact of the people, they simply opened the city gate, prepared to let the people out of the city, and then took advantage of the chaos to slip away. But at the moment when the city gate was opened, Huang An, the garrison of the Songshan army, arrived with a thousand Changping soldiers. When he saw the chaos, he drove the people away with spears, regardless of whether they were indiscriminate. The fierce gods are vicious, where is there any appearance of officers and soldiers.

The people were suddenly stopped by the evil army, and they dared not speak out of anger. The gentry were eager to flee for their lives, and they knew that most of the Songshan Army were recruits from Changping in the Guannai, and they had not experienced a war except for the generals. He had the idea of bullying the recruits, and instructed his servants to organize hundreds of rogue children in the city to openly attack the Songshan army with weapons.

Seeing that the big family dared to openly organize a rogue attack on the army, Huang An was furious, and ordered a counterattack without hesitation, after a period of slashing, dozens of servants and scoundrels were killed, and the rest of the people saw that the Songshan army really dared to kill, and they were so frightened that the wolves ran away, and the birds and beasts scattered.

When the main messenger saw this, he was also frightened and hurriedly slipped home, and the gate was closed, so that people were supported by large trees in the back, for fear that the Songshan army would break into the door. Fortunately, those Songshan troops only wanted to disperse the people, and did not intend to kill people, and they would trouble them for a while.

After the people were dispersed one by one, Chen Ang, the prefect of Jinzhou, organized dozens of people from the Yamen Clerk's Office to ride horses in the city to announce one by one, and posted notices, asking the people not to panic, to do their part, and not to make trouble in the city, otherwise they would all be regarded as building slaves and killing them.

Most of the people experienced wars, and there was a leak that broke the city in Fushun, Shenyang, and Liaoyang, and Zhilu Dao Jiannu liked to send a fine work to sneak into the city, inciting the people to disturb the city, making the defenders chaotic, and then taking the opportunity to open the city gate and let Jiannu in.

The current situation is very similar to that of the past, not to mention that many of the instigators are indeed slaves. Therefore, after seeing the government's notice, most of the people calmed down and began to spontaneously organize young and strong people to defend the city under the organization of the elderly. The prefect's yamen also had corresponding officials to handle it, and the riot lasted less than an hour before it was suppressed, and the soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou City began to prepare for the defense of the city.

Shi Dayong also asked Qiu Hejia to order, and transferred Liu Zeyi, Wang An, Ge Qing, Wu Dalang and other guards and regimental training generals to the north gate, and uniformly obeyed his orders. Huang An guarded the south gate, Shao Wu guarded the west gate, Jiang Wanli guarded the east gate, and he personally guarded the north gate.

At this time, the Ming army in the city was not estimated by Hu Daxian and other generals, only two or three thousand people, but counted 2,300 regimental training and guard soldiers, 1,200 Zuo Liangyu troops, 3,300 Shi Dayong Songshan troops, and 2,600 defeated troops, with a total strength of nearly 10,000 people.

It's just that among the nearly 10,000 defenders, the regimental training guards are unbearable and can basically be ignored, and Zuo Liangyu's department barely maintains the structure, and after a big battle, it is too few troops. The routs fled all the way back, and their souls were scared away, and they couldn't recover for a while. And the 3,300 people under Shi Dayong, in addition to the 300 Songshan veterans, the remaining 3,000 are Changping recruits, although they ran around the battlefield and fought a small-scale fierce battle with the Jin army, but most of them were generally traveled, and did not really experience the baptism of war, so the Ming army of 10,000 people, discounted, at most 3,000 people can really be used.

However, Shi Dayong is not afraid, the Jinzhou city wall is tall and strong, and there are more than 60 Hongyi cannons and various small cannons, and it is the defensive side.
