To arrange the same errand, if only thirty people are needed in Gu Yanzhang's hands, it can be completed in half a day, and if you change an official, you need sixty people, and a whole day, which may not be enough.

Li Bojian has too many things on his hands, although he is a general judge in Yongzhou, but he does not have much talent in governance, and his position is as high as he is, where will the other lower-level officials assigned here be able to go?

To put it mildly, Li Bojian was originally in charge with all his might, and he may not be able to make mistakes, not to mention the officials who were only responsible for a small part of the affairs in the past to coordinate.

Gu Yanzhang can do a good job because he looks at things and problems from the whole city, is familiar with the situation, has experience, and has the ability.

He will know that the soldiers will be killed or injured at the east gate for a day, and then he will order the people to bring stretchers and mule carts, and he knows that the person in charge of cooking today is a woman from a certain street or alley, so he will ask the people to complete the errand in the previous paragraph, ask the number of people guarding the city, and report to the relevant people in charge of food in the streets and alleys on the way back.

It can be changed to an official, sending ordnance is just sending ordnance, withdrawing wounded soldiers is just withdrawing wounded soldiers, and sending food is only sending food, and the three places are not related, so naturally three groups of people should be assigned to do it.

The same thing, in Gu Yanzhang's view, is to draw an arc and make one stroke, but in the eyes of the official who took over, it is to write a "mountain" character and make three strokes.

This does not blame the officials who took over, they just had the heart and did not have the opportunity to contact the situation of the whole city, or they had the opportunity to have access, but they did not have the consciousness to integrate all the situations and distribute them uniformly.

Li Bojian was very helpless.

He used to think that the government affairs in his hands were complicated to the extreme, but after taking over this piece of logistics and patrol affairs, he found that the work in Gu Yanzhang's hands was not only not less than what he was originally responsible for, but it was more difficult to do it well.

Even if he knew that Jiaozhi was in a hurry to attack the city at this time, and he must not be able to get Gu Yanzhang back from the city gate, Li Bojian had already had the impulse to find a useful one from the state government and replace that one.

The city gate naturally has to be guarded, but the logistics are generally important compared with the defense of the city!

When you can't eat, how can you still defend the city!

***

At this moment, Gu Yanzhang, who was standing on the wall of the east gate of Yongzhou, couldn't hear Li Bojian's tangled voice at all.

He was covered with armor and his own soldiers holding shields beside him, so he dared to stand on the edge of the wall and look down without fear of stray arrows.

At the foot of the city wall, countless Jiaozhi soldiers were stepping on the ladder and climbing to the city wall, as if they were dying.

From the beginning of the last round of siege to the present, it has lasted for three days, Yongzhou City is different from Jiaozhi, the other party has died a person, can fill two people, completely regardless of human life, do not worry, this time I don't know why, as if I took the wrong medicine, even if I take the head to fill, I have to step on the wall.

The total number of Yongzhou defenders is no more than 10,000 people, and they are assigned to each city gate, less than 3,000 people, the east gate is tightly attacked, Gu Yanzhang grabbed 500 brave men, helped to wind up the arrows, and carry the ordnance, but everyone can only sit on the city wall in turn and squint.

After a round of Jiaozhi battle, if you can go to the city, you will go to the city, and if you can't go to the city, you will withdraw your troops, and change a group of soldiers to attack again, never stopping, and attacking the city for three days in a row.

They have 100,000 troops, and even if they dispatch 3,000 people once, they can have enough troops to consume, but where can the few thousands of troops in Yongzhou City have the opportunity to rotate.

Since Zhou Yun, the deputy general stationed at the east gate, was shot in the right chest by an arrow from a stray arrow and was carried down to the city, Gu Yanzhang took the other party's place and stood here to command the defenders.

When he took over, there were still 2,230 soldiers on the city wall, and 500 were later replenished, but now only 1,400 people can still stand, and the rest are either lying in the camp for the sick or in the morgue.

The east gate is badly guarded, the west gate, the north gate is also miserable, Jiaozhi is attacking the city, holding the ladder car and attacking the hole that I don't know from Qinzhou or Lianzhou City, and has been about to stand on the city wall many times.

The first few times the two defenders of the city can still pour oil from the city wall, and then throw torches down, and burn the thieves and siege ladders, but after all, the materials in Yongzhou City are limited, and they have to come a few times, that is, the vegetable oil is brought over, and it is still not enough, all relying on the deputy general Wang Miyuan and the military academy guard seven to kill the cavalry out of the city, and reluctantly force the thieves to retreat, but later, thousands of soldiers in Jiaozhi are displayed in front, everyone holds a bow in their hands, and when they see the city gate open, they shoot a volley of arrows, no matter how strong the elite soldiers, they can't rush out, and they can only fight hard with each other on the city wall.

If Li Fuzai in the last month was trying to attack the city, he was frightened by the divine arm bow, he didn't dare to move, and he just wanted to preserve his combat power, Li Fuzai in the past few days has been like a crazy wild dog, as if he is anxious to tear Yongzhou into pieces before his life is approaching.

The standard-bearer standing on the side stared at the cross-toe soldier who was climbing on the ladder, waited until the other party climbed halfway, turned his head and asked, "Gouyuan, do you smash it?" ”

Gu Yanzhang shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer." ”

Yes, you can only wait a little longer.

In Yongzhou City, there are not only insufficient wooden feather arrows, but also insufficient arrows, even ordinary arrows, so they can only put the Jiaozhi soldiers close, and then shoot a salvo to increase the probability of hitting and reduce the wear and tear of arrows.

It's just that the more these things are smashed and the higher they accumulate on the ground, the easier it will be for the thieves to attack the city.

But if you don't smash wood and stones, once you are on the city wall by the Jiaozhi soldiers, it will be a matter of time before the city gate falls.

There's really no way.

Hundreds of ladders were erected on the city wall of the east gate, and the Jiaozhi soldiers who were lying on the ladders were wearing armor and shields on their heads, and their whole bodies were tightly blocked, climbing up the city wall like ants.

There was no oil at the east gate, and only a few stones and timber remained.

Under the city walls, thousands of people are waiting to climb the city walls.

Gu Yanzhang's heartbeat became faster and faster.

There are too many people in Jiaozhi, too many, and there is no way to support the long-term defense of the city in Yongzhou, no matter whether it is the army or the ordnance.

The city was cut off from the water source, and the few wells were now close to the soldiers defending the city, and the rest of the people could only be thirsty, and the family got a little.

When the tung oil to defend the city ran out, the people donated the rapeseed oil and tea seed oil at home, but they couldn't do it much.

If reinforcements do not arrive, even if they are besieged but not attacked, as long as two months pass, the city will naturally be in chaos.

Two days ago, Gu Yanzhang had heard that someone in the south of the city had drunk turbid water and had dysentery.
