When Wang Ping deduced the conspiracy of Mi Qi's father and son, he formulated a plan to divide the troops into three routes.

First of all, they pretended to injure Mi Gui and escaped from Mi Mansion, and then transferred all the personnel of the Three Courtyards of Yanlianghai, so that Mi Qi and his son thought that the emptiness in the mansion had an opportunity.

And after Mi Gui was injured, he took the elite of the Lu Yuan to ambush in the ancestral house, just waiting for Mi Qi and his followers to throw themselves into the net.

Mi Fang was too much to guard, so he commanded the city to defend the city for fear that he would not be able to block Kaiyang's elite soldiers, and now Mi Lun has Mi Zi Ling to replace Mi Fang justifiably.

The biggest danger of the Mi family was the Kaiyang army outside the city, so Wang Ping decided to go to the city with Mi Lun to defend.

When they came to the Taishou Mansion, Mi Fang was discussing with those staff whether they could give Zang Ba some benefits and then persuade them to withdraw from the army, but this time it was Zang Ba and the Chen family of Guangling County who joined forces to fight the Mi family, and what they wanted was to kill with one blow, how could they really accept your peace.

It's just that Mi Fang has long been intimidated by the male soldiers outside the city, and when he saw Mi Lun coming, he opened his mouth and asked if there was any extra food at home, and asked Mi Lun to give all the food to Zang Ba so that he could make peace with him.

Before coming, Wang Ping proposed to ask Mi Lun to take over the city defense, but Mi Lun was afraid of his second brother's face and only wanted to assist him in the back.

When Mi Lun took out the millet order, the people in the back room didn't dare to talk anymore, Mi Fang was seized of power, although Mi Fang's face was gloomy, but he didn't have to worry about the city defense, he felt that it was a relief.

It's just that when Mi Lun said that he wanted to give the command to Wang Ping, he angrily asked Mi Lun: "This city defense of the East China Sea is related to the life and death of my Mi family, is it too child's play for you to hand over the command to an outsider who has not yet reached the crown!" ”

Mi Lun didn't pay attention to him, and after taking away the Taishou seal, he went to inspect the city defense with Wang Ping, and when he left, Wang Ping looked at a room of rotten Confucians and sneered: "The army is pressing the city, but you are here to do nothing, do you see this war too child's play, do you really think that Zang Ba is asking for the 200,000 stone of grain for his brother?" One sentence made Mi Fang's face red, and she didn't dare to gnaw anymore.

Donghai City was built very high and firm, and it was impossible to approach the corner of the wall without siege equipment, so Zangba's army was stationed far away outside the city for more than half a month.

It's just that in the past half a month, he didn't only know how to talk about troops on paper like Mi Fang, he asked the baggage troops to organize and decorate a lot of siege equipment on the spot, and it was only recently that he commanded a large army to come to the city, thinking that everything was ready.

Donghai City also has a lot of wood and stones, as well as some boiling oil and long-pole guns, but there are too few bows and arrows, Wang Ping followed Wang Yue to inspect the city defense there when he was in Chang'an City, and also asked the veterans who defended the city how to use various instruments, but he had no experience at all for the first time to command and defend the city.

There are also 6,000 servants of the Mi family, who are usually trained and are scared into soft-footed shrimp when they go to the battlefield.

Experience is such a thing that you need to experience in person, but at this time it is too late to experience it, Wang Ping hopes to stimulate the fighting spirit of these strong men through heavy rewards.

As long as these strong men survive the first battle, they will have experience after that.

Wang Ping told Mi Lun to pile up a large amount of copper coins and grain in the wide area of the city, and told all his servants that as long as they blocked the enemy's first attack, each of them would be rewarded with 5,000 copper coins and 10 buckets of rice.

And all the martyrs who died in the war rewarded their families with 10,000 copper coins and 20 buckets of rice. Mi Lun also called those officials in the Taishou Mansion to be responsible for registering the name.

After doing a good job of logistics, Wang Ping began to understand the establishment of these servants, and every hundred people in the Mi family will elect a capable person, who is called Ding Chang in the Mi family, but now these people can no longer be regarded as family members.

After discussing with Mi Lun, Wang Ping decided to change all these people into an army establishment, and Ding Chang, who was previously responsible for managing a team of 100 people, was changed to an uncle, and then a military chief was selected out of every five people, and a chief was selected out of every 20 people to assist the management of the uncle. Mi Lun took the county lieutenant and named Mi Xiang as the commander of the thousand.

After the personnel were distributed, it was already afternoon, Wang Ping and Mi Lun came to the city wall to inspect, but these people only knew Mi Lun but did not know him, Wang Ping thought that he had to get an official position for himself, otherwise no one would listen to him in the war.

After thinking for a while, Wang Ping asked Mi Lun to call those newly appointed uncles to his side, and there were 300 uncles out of 6,000 people, and Wang Ping knew that he would rely on these people to restrain the team when he started a war.

After Wang Ping and the others gathered, he stood on a high place and began his mobilization speech, he quickly swept the three hundred people with his eyes and said: "This Donghai City is built by the Mi family, and the Mi family will be defeated if the city is broken, but you are also a member of the Mi family, and you will have no support if the Mi family is defeated, think about your small family in the city, and then think about those Taishan thieves outside, if the city is broken, those thieves will rush into your home and steal your food!" Kill your child! Forcibly take your wife! Enslave your parents! Will you give them the city!? ”

"No!" "I don't want to!" "Never! ”

Although these people's answers were not very neat, their voices were loud enough, and the determination to fight to the death could be seen in everyone's expressions.

These uncles have their own property in Mi Mansion and have been living a rich life, so these people don't want the Mi family to lose, if Zang occupies Donghai City, they can only live back to a poor life, they all know that it is difficult to make a frugality from luxury, and they will be finished if the Mi family is defeated.

After Wang Ping and these people vented their emotions, he took out the waist card of the palace guard from his arms and showed it to everyone, and he continued: "Zhao Yun and I are both the chief of the guard next to the emperor, and this chief guard is a senior official who even needs to go out of the city to greet the Lord Taishou, so I will lead you to resist the Taishan thieves outside together with Mi Lun Mi Duwei. ”

After revealing his identity, he paused and pretended to be mysterious: "In addition, I will tell you a good news, Zhao Yun, who was with me before, has rushed to Xuzhou overnight to move the rescue troops, and he can return it as soon as one day. ”

Hearing this exciting news, the three hundred people immediately cheered, they have a high wall defense inside, and strong troops outside to help, what else is there to be afraid of, isn't the drill for many years to deal with the crisis at this time!

Gradually, the hearts of these 300 uncles became much firmer.

Mi Lun saw Zhao Yun's peerless skills when he was trapped on Sun Ce's ship last time, and he was extremely appreciative and admired him, and this time Wang Ping's performance shocked him even more, planning the overall situation, commanding Ruoding, talking and laughing, Mi Lun suddenly thought of the word 'handsome', Shuai is the commander, and the leader who can strategize and win thousands of miles away can be called handsome!

When it was dark, news came from Mi's house, and Mi Qi made a move. Mi Mansion has Mi Gui, who is at the peak of the day after tomorrow, and Mi and his son are not worried at all, but according to Wang Ping's inference, as long as Mi Qi makes a move, the Kaiyang army outside the city will definitely make a move.

Wang Ping asked Mi Lun to lead a thousand people to be responsible for transporting materials to the city wall, while he went to the city wall with Mi Xiang to command the deployment.

It didn't take long to see a fire in the distance outside the city, followed by the sound of war drums and trumpets.

Wang Ping saw that the drum at the south gate was the loudest, so he arranged 2,000 soldiers here, and left 500 soldiers at the east gate and the west gate to prevent sneak attacks, and arranged for the uncles on both sides to report the military situation here at any time.

In addition to Mi Lun with the transport troops, there were also two thousand reserves left in the city.

Attacking the city at night is more conducive to the defenders, maybe Zang Ba is just trying to cooperate with Mi Qi's father and son in the city at this time, but there can be no luck in war.

Wang Ping arranged for Mi Xiang to be in charge of commanding the archers, telling him to wait for the enemy to get close to the firing range before giving the order to shoot, and called several uncles to tell them to set up oil pots and prepare stones. Once everything is ready, all that's left is waiting.

The fear of people comes from the unknown, although it is good for defense when it is dark, but it is impossible to see the number and deployment of the attacker, and listening to the deafening killing cries at night makes people feel even more terrifying, many archers are so frightened that they lean against the female wall and tremble, and when the enemy rushes to the firing range, there are less than 500 people who can draw their bows.

Wang Ping saw the dense crowd of people under the city, and listened to the earth-shattering shouts of killing, and suddenly his heart was shaken, but he immediately took a deep breath, and then ran to Mi Xiang's side and loudly commanded the archers to shoot arrows with him.

Wang Ping and Mi Xiang commanded half of the archers to rush towards the Kaiyang soldiers and carry out intensive projectiles, Wang Ping also asked to shout after every arrow, and slowly the defenders on the city wall began to roar together.

Perhaps it was the loud shouts that suppressed the fear in their hearts, and many people slowly got used to the sound, and more archers began to join the queue of projectiles.

In fact, there were only more than 500 people in the first wave of the Kaiyang army, and it was very difficult for these people to brave the rain of arrows and carry the long ladder to charge in the dark night.

But even so, more than half of them rushed under the wall.

Wang Ping saw that the enemy soldiers had already begun to climb the ladder, and the projectile needed to be shot into the sky at an angle, which could not bring damage to the enemy soldiers under the corner.

So Wang Ping ordered the archers to start firing freely at the city.

The siege force of several hundred people was quickly wiped out under the bow and arrows, Wang Ping thought to himself that it was so easy to repel the first wave of attacks, could it be that Zang Ba was feintting to attack here, in fact...

Sure enough, the east gate and the west gate were in an emergency at the same time, and Wang Ping and Mi Xiang each brought 500 archers to the rescue.

By the time Wang Ping came to the West Gate, the ladder of the Kaiyang Army had already approached the city.

The ladder is not an ordinary long ladder, there are wheels under the ladder, the soldiers can hide under the wall to advance it to the city wall, and the top of the ladder has a hook to hook the edge of the city wall, because the ladder body is very heavy, so as long as you lean against the wall, it is not easy to be overturned, it is the most commonly used and sharpest siege equipment.

Wang Ping listened to the veterans who guarded the city in Chang'an City, this kind of ladder is difficult to overturn, the best way is to attack by fire, thinking of this, he asked people to prepare fire arrows, after a round of launch, the three ladders were ignited by rockets, just looking at the fire seems to be of little effect for a while and a half.

Under the control of the ladder, the long echelons that moved faster had already begun to climb the city wall.

It seemed that hand-to-hand combat was inevitable, so Wang Ping had an uncle take his place and continue to direct the archers to shoot the enemy, while he himself picked a spear and held it in his hand, ready to personally lead the spear team to fight the enemy hand-to-hand.
