"Master Cheng—"

Sun An felt that Cheng Qing could go down the city wall.

If it weren't for Sun An's quick shot of the archer of the scarf thief just now, Cheng Qing might have been hit by an arrow.

Now Cheng Qing is the backbone of Hongxian County, anyone can have an accident, but Cheng Qing can't have an accident.

With Cheng Qing here, everyone in Hongxian County has the confidence to resist the enemy.

If Cheng Qing was shot to death by thieves, it would be a big blow to the morale of the people.

Cheng Qing was very sorry, "The archer standing behind him just now looks like the commander of the scarf thief." ”

If Sun An was more powerful and shot the commander of the scarf thief outside the city to death, it would be too beneficial for Hongxian!

But she is not an unpersuaded person, she stands on the wall like a live target.

Cheng Qing lifted his robe and went down the city wall, the scarf thieves outside the city squeezed people's heels, and the screams shook the sky, Rong Jiu was on the city wall with bracelets and leg cuffs, and his heart tightened for a while.

It was a joy to watch the scarf thief fall into a trap and be stoned, but it was too unsafe to stand on the city wall.

Rong Jiu couldn't help but stop Cheng Qing:

"Cheng, Master Cheng, take me down, I'm more useful to you alive!"

Cheng Qing looked back and smiled, "Rong Jiushao, you may have overestimated your importance, maybe the Governor's Mansion will not send someone to save you." ”

"No, it can't be, it must be that the token hasn't been delivered yet-"

Won't anyone come to save themselves?

Rong Jiu couldn't accept this answer.

As long as his sister Rong Yuniang is still alive and is still the daughter-in-law of the Shi family, she will definitely not give up sending someone to save him.

Unless something happens to my sister......

Rong Jiu shook off this unlucky thought.

Cheng Qing loves money, as long as he pays money, the rich families in the countryside can take refuge in Hongxian County.

Isn't it silver, the Rong family has silver, seeing that Cheng Qing is leaving, Rong Jiu said in a loud voice: "Lord Cheng, I am willing to donate 100,000 taels of silver to help the Lord Huainan disaster relief!" ”

100,000 taels of silver.

One Rong Jiu is worth the weight of all the merchants in Linqing City combined.

The salt merchant was indeed a wealthy man of the first rank in the world.

As soon as Cheng Qing heard about the 100,000 taels of silver, he immediately changed his mind and took Rong Jiu off the city wall.

Such a noble person, alive can only be worth 100,000 taels of silver, and he was accidentally shot dead when he was thrown on the city wall, and 100,000 taels of silver was lost.

No, Cheng Qing couldn't believe Rong Jiu's promise at all, and immediately asked someone to write a note after getting off the city wall for Rong Jiu to sign and draw.

With this evidence, Cheng Qing is not afraid that the Rong family in Yangzhou will dare to rely on the accounts - it is common for officials to pit the people, and the people in turn rely on the accounts of officials, please forgive Cheng Qing for not seeing it for a short time.

What's more, these 100,000 taels, Rong Jiu is not donated to Cheng Qing personally, Cheng Qing is for the imperial court disaster relief, is for the emperor's disaster relief, Yangzhou Rong family dare to rely on the emperor's account, Cheng Qing really admires the Rong family!

Rong Jiu's face was very bad.

Cheng Qing doesn't care.

After picking up the notes, Cheng Qing was surrounded by a group of "alternate soldiers".

"My lord, when should we kill the enemy?"

"My lord, we want to go up the wall!"

"My lord—"

Cheng Qing waved his hand to suppress the messy voice, "What's the hurry, we still have to fight with the scarf thief, when it's time for you to play, no one can run away!" ”

The siege of the city is in waves, and the first wave of siege may be to test the reality of Hongxian, or it can be to consume the equipment of Hongxian to defend the city.

Cheng Qing just stood on the city wall and looked down, saying that there were 10,000 scarf thieves or a conservative estimate, and Cheng Qing estimated that it was about 20,000.

Not to mention the 20,000-strong thief army, even 20,000 livestock are tied up tightly and can't move, and they will be killed for a long time if they are placed there for the soldiers of Hongxian County to kill.

Moreover, the scarf thief is not a bound animal.

They can jump, they have weapons in their hands, and they are smarter than livestock.

"If you want to deter the thieves, you must also minimize the losses, you can't fill everyone's lives, if you use the method of exchanging one life for one life, and consume the scarf thief to death, what is the use of such a victory?"

Cheng Qing's words quieted down the 'temporary reinforcements'.

They no longer rushed to the city wall to kill the enemy, and began to help send stones and huge trees to the city wall according to the previous arrangement.

Master Cheng said, whatever you think in your heart, anything at hand can be used as a weapon against the enemy.

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to bow and arrow, if you throw stones under the city wall, you can't kill a few thieves on the spot, but you can also smash them!

Stones are weapons.

Bricks are weapons.

Tables, chairs, and benches are all weapons.

Lord Cheng picked up the houses of the rich families who had fled, and the bricks were used to repair the city wall, and the beams and trees could also be used!

Several people worked together to lift the beam wood up the city wall and throw it down, a large beam can smash over a row of siege turban thieves, it is really useful!

Boiling until the boiling water is poured down, it can still drench the skin and flesh of the thief and scream and hurt.

As for the city gate, Cheng Qing glanced at the hole in the city gate, which was stuffed with a lot of stone mills spontaneously donated by the people of Hongxian County, even if the people of Hongxian County wanted to get out of the city gate, it would take a lot of effort, and it would be more difficult for the scarf thief to break through the city gate.

Lang Qianhu strode over.

"Master Cheng, the thieves have scattered and attacked the city."

Seeing that they could not attack from the main gate, the scarf thieves outside the city dispersed their forces and tried to find a weak place in the defense.

Think beautifully!

Cheng Qing likes crowd tactics and likes to take the mass line.

The alternates were allowed to go up the walls.

Regardless of which direction the turban thieves attacked, they would find that there were forces on the walls to resist them.

Even if the scarf thief has 20,000 troops, how can the population of Hongxian County only be 20,000?

When the enemy soldiers are in the city, the young and strong can go to the battlefield, and the old and weak women and children can also go to the battlefield.

When Cheng Qing was mobilizing the people of Hongxian County, he asked them, do the scarf thieves have three heads and six arms?

Of course not!

The scarf thief is also human.

Being slashed with a knife on the body will also bleed and hurt, and people can overcome it.

A woman can't beat a grown man.

But when a group of women flock to the front, it is the adult men who flee.

This is the reason for fighting the scarf thief, work together, and everyone can live.

If you don't work together, the scarf thieves will break through the city defenses and enter the city!

A soldier of a thousand households.

The officials, patrols and people of Hongxian County.

There are also the displaced people who Cheng Qing put into the city.

Groups of people climbed the walls to prevent the turban thieves from entering the city.

Cheng Qing said that the grain transporters who were used at the end silently gathered the team and put a gap in the city wall.

No one wants to die.

In order to survive, you must not be afraid to die to defend against the enemy!

When the men of the grain transportation team stood on the city wall, Cheng Qing found that the women who followed He Wan to make military rations were trembling with their feet climbing the city wall, but they also screamed and smashed the spatula in their hands on the scarf thief-

Rong Jiu was dumbfounded.

Cheng Qing blinked the moisture from the corner of his eyes, "Rong Jiushao, do you still think that this official can't hold Hongxian County?" This officer does not have a well-trained and well-equipped army, but this officer has the hearts of the people! ”

Rong Jiu's three guards, the injuries on their bodies were almost healed.

Seeing Rong Jiu standing beside Cheng Qing, it was safe for the time being, and the three guards also silently rushed onto the city wall!
