Chapter 182: The Choice Between Thousands and Hundreds
Then, the patriarch of the five clans who led the army discussed and decided to first take a circle of down-and-out Daqian two-legged sheep outside the city to open the knife, kill him with a three-in-three-out sacrificial flag, and open the meat, so as to deter and coerce the Daqian generals standing on the city wall.
Then, General Yang, who is stationed here, although he is heartbroken for the safety of the people outside the city, but after all, there are more innocent people in the city, and thousands of lives are in front of hundreds of lives.
No matter how heartache he was, he had to have red eyes, gritted his teeth, and ordered the four gates to be closed with a heavy heart, ignoring the cries, cries for help and wails outside the city, and chose to keep thousands of people in the city......
As a result, those exiled criminals outside the city, those poor people who were too poor to enter the city to settle down, and even the two and four rooms of the Xiao family, including the exiles who came with them, it can be said that except for the Mei family, who had a good idea, for a certain intention, he was clever, and on the same day, he took his sister-in-law Xiao Yuyu, who was finally coaxed, abandoned his biological mother, and followed him into the city to find a big house to beg for meat to eat.
And this sudden attack was actually several days earlier than what Li Yurong had experienced in the previous life.
In the previous life, the Hu people chose to launch an attack on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was precisely because of the Chinese New Year that the defense inside and outside the city was a little lax, and the result was ......
Because of the successive changes, things went astray, because her family had escaped from the tiger's mouth, Li Yurong, who had no bottom in her heart, couldn't think of it at all, and she didn't want to think about it, and the desperate struggle before death in her previous life was naturally ......
Just said that right now, when Xiao Wenye and the others killed all the Hu people who were attacking from the wolf ditch, and then hurried over, what should have been fought outside Yonggu City had already been beaten, what should have been killed had been killed, and what should have ended had already ended.
Because the city gate could not be broken, this group of Hu people simply guarded the four gates of Yonggu City in batches.
Su Yun quickly turned around, and saw the bloody scene outside the city that had been reduced to a purgatory, and she hurriedly came back and hurriedly reported to her master.
When Xiao Yuqi got the news, he naturally quickly grabbed his father, lay in his ear, and hurriedly informed Xiao Wenye of all these situations.
After learning the news that her daughter said was in her daughter's mouth, it was said that she asked the ghosts to help find out, Xiao Wenye subconsciously paused, looked at the eager stupid apprentice beside him, and sighed in his eyes.
Yu Dalang was stunned and puzzled, "What's the matter, master?" The master looked at himself like this, was there something wrong with him?
Xiao Wenye only shook his head and was silent, but his heart was full of sighs and regrets.
Sure enough, it's still too late.
"Da Lang, there is not much in front of you, there are a large number of Hu people stationed, let's not go anymore, we have to find a hidden commanding height, first observe and observe the situation, and then say, it will be dawn in a while......", holding his daughter, looking up at the sky that was still sprinkled with snowflakes, Xiao Wenye muttered.
Although Yu Dalang was anxious, he naturally obeyed the master's words, and he also knew that the situation would be unclear, and it was not safe for the three of them to move forward rashly, so he nodded honestly.
At this moment, he didn't know that his lady who had not passed through the door, and Yu Dalang, who had already suffered from his sister-in-law, got the master's words, and he hurriedly recalled.
In the past, he often followed his father Yu Tou to Yonggu City to work, and he was still very familiar with the terrain inside and outside the city.
In this way, after thinking quickly for a while, Yu Dalang hurriedly led the way for his master.
"Master, let's go north, there is a low slope outside the city in the north, where you can cover one or two, and there is a big forest dozens of miles back, in case the Hu people find us at dawn, we can still go to the forest, there are good Tibetans, you see?"
Xiao Wenye thought about it, there was also a small forest on the other side of the ditch outside the city, but it was cold and inconvenient to cross the river, even if he took people to leap over, but he couldn't be sure that this group of Hu people outside the city who were besieging but not attacking would go to the river to draw water, so as to find their traces, after all, he couldn't step on the snow without a trace now.
In this way, Xiao Wenye nodded, "Cheng." ”。
Saying that, the master and apprentice took Xiao Yuqi, a 'burden', and hurriedly headed north.
At this moment, on the tower of the Yonggu City Gate, Captain Fan followed his general, and was anxiously inspecting the four city gates to check the situation outside.
"Captain Fan, how many teams of scouts did we send out to ask for help break through?"
"General Hui, four gates, we sent a total of eight groups of scouts, and finally the north gate broke through one team successfully, and the other ......."
With such a result, Fan Cheng, who reported it, was also very uncomfortable.
The Hu people came too suddenly this time, and they arrived suddenly, and they were not prepared at all.
If it weren't for a sentry alert, who discovered something wrong in time and sounded the gong to warn, they wouldn't have had time to close the four doors.
Even so, the outskirts of the city, the circle of inhabitants who lived in sheds around the city walls, were still killed by the iron horses of the Hu people.
This year, their food is late again, and they are struggling to hold on, who knows, this group of damn Hu people, the first bite of them who are not rich?
Now that it is snowing, although there are only two wells in the city, the people cannot go to the small river outside the city to draw water, but there is snow water, which can support one or two;
Only the grain stored in the city treasury is barely enough for the soldiers in the city to eat for ten days, if the people also run out of food and have to supply the people, General Yang, who is over forty years old, simply dare not think about the consequences;
The scouts sent out, only one team and only two people escaped, and they still headed north, which added another matter to General Yang's heart.
Further north was the territory of the Hu people, and if they wanted to ask for the nearest city for support, they could only go to the east, west, or south, but not to the north.
I don't know where the scout team that escaped will be diverted next? I don't know, will the city they are asking for help also encounter the same siege as their own side?
What made General Yang even more anxious was that the Hu people outside the city dared to besiege and not attack so blatantly, not because they saw the heavy snow blocking the road, even if someone rescued, the army would not be able to pull out for a while.
So, these disgusting hyenas-like bearded people want to trap them effortlessly, and then sit and reap the benefits of the fishermen.
As for the grain?
They are lacking, but the beasts under the city are not lacking......
Maybe the other party's idea at the moment is to take advantage of the wind and snow to block the road, raise them as cattle and sheep in the pen, and wait until they have no morale, no fighting spirit, no food, no physical strength to be slaughtered, so that they can kill and eat fresh meat!
Hyenas are hyenas, looking through the dark night, looking at the group of beasts who were burying the pot to cook and throwing fresh corpses into the pot, General Yang's teeth were cracked and his fists were clenched.
It is precisely because of this that he only allows victory, not defeat!
He must not let the people of the city behind him become two-legged sheep in the mouths of beasts!
When Xiao Wenye took the two burdens and flew all the way to the low slope that Yu Dalang said, he put down the daughter in his arms, and Xiao Wenye was tired like a dog.
Choose a good place, quickly lie on the ground, and probe to investigate.
It's a pity that the sky is not yet bright, even if there is a reflection of snow, but from such a long distance, no matter how good their eyesight is, they can't see the specific movement at the city gate in the distance.
Xiao Yuqi was helpless, seeing that Yu Dalang didn't have time to take care of herself, and was learning from her stupid father, she only knew that her hands were overlapped, blocking her eyes and looking forward, she wanted to sigh.
