Yang Zhi's last sentence was said to the surrounding people.

"We're not leaving!"

The people responded, and immediately a large number of people stood up.

"We won't go, and we will die with Pingzhou City."

It's their home, and where else can they go.

Yang Zhi also knew that this was the result, but he couldn't bear it after all.

Soldiers have duties, but these people don't, and they should have been standing in front of the people.

But the current situation is that some soldiers of the Dasheng Dynasty have abandoned the people.

In other words, the city of Pingzhou was abandoned.

How many of the people who fled from Pingzhou survived.

In this huge Pingzhou, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians have died in this battle.

This is not counting the people who escaped and died halfway, as well as the surrounding counties and villages, and I don't know how many people survived.

The population around Pingzhou City must add up to hundreds of thousands, if the Turks are allowed to enter Pingzhou City, then these surviving people are like cattle and sheep in the eyes of the Turks.

It is rumored that in this era, the Turks would snatch the children of the Han people, they liked young children, and white and tender women, these were called two-legged sheep, as for what these beasts wanted these people to do, it was terrible to think about.

Yang Zhi saw the firm eyes of the people, and he also sighed in his heart, even if they were all abandoned, they were still so cute.

Damn Qin Li, damn the person in power, this kind of thing could have been avoided.

If the soldiers and horses from Qingyang County come to support, Pingzhou will not be so miserable, even if they don't come, if the logistics supply is guaranteed, 100,000 people will defend the city, it is not impossible to hold out for two or three months.

According to the information obtained so far, the Turkic army outside the city is only 200,000 people.

The 200,000 iron cavalry is only half of the main Turkic force, but this person can beat the Dasheng Dynasty to the point that he has no power to fight back.

"Chen Dong, let the brothers take out all the dry food on their bodies and divide it."

Yang Zhi knew that these people in front of him, if they didn't supplement their nutrition, let alone fight, they might starve to death first.

Chen Dong's face was not very good-looking, they didn't have much dry food with them, so many people, this dry food was not enough for even one meal.

Yang Zhi saw his embarrassment, and said lightly: "If the food is not enough, then kill the horse, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers." ”

In this era, how important is the value of war horses, if you dare to kill war horses in the army, it is a capital crime, but these rules are not farts in front of Yang Zhi.

People are going to starve to death, and he is not so pedantic when he talks about capital crimes or not death crimes.

With Yang Zhi's order, this group of remnants of the defeated generals who had been guarding for a month finally ate a hot meal, and also got some meat, and the salt in the city was collected.

Yang Zhi also asked people to count the people who were still alive in Pingzhou City, he had to know this, otherwise he would not be able to make a plan for the next step.

Yang Zhi himself was not in the mood to eat, he led a group of people to inspect the city wall, and found that many places had long been smashed by the Turkic trebuchets and were about to collapse.

Such a city, if the Turks tore a hole, then hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry rushed in, it would be a disaster for the entire Pingzhou, and also a disaster for the Dasheng Dynasty.

Yang Zhi didn't dare to be careless at all, and also called Hu Duan to his side and asked him to introduce the current situation in the city.

By the time they returned to the makeshift command post at the city gate, a lot of the statistics had already been counted.

"General, at present, there are 5,637 people in my right tiger guard, of which 435 are seriously injured and 3,219 are lightly injured."

"There are only 2,800 soldiers left in Pingzhou Prefecture, 600 are seriously wounded, and 1,700 are lightly injured."

"There are 8,300 people defending the city, 2,000 seriously wounded, and more than 4,000 lightly wounded."

Hearing this data, Yang Zhidu gasped, this situation was even more serious than he had expected.

You must know how poor the medical conditions are in this era, the chance of being seriously injured is slim, and now there is definitely a shortage of medicinal materials in the army, and nutrition cannot keep up, so many serious injuries, it is great luck to survive two-thirds of them.

Minor injuries are the same, there are no medicinal materials, even minor injuries will be dragged into serious injuries, so calculated, no injuries, there is still combat power, and the number of people who participated in the defense of the city is less than 5,000, plus the 2,000 people he brought, that is, less than 7,000 people.

If you count the minor injuries, it is only about 15,000 people, but the Turkic army still has more than 150,000 iron horsemen left.

This is a one-to-ten war, even if the 8,000 soldiers and horses brought by Zhang Erniu arrived here, it was only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses.

This person, if he wants to defend Pingzhou City, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

"Have you counted the number of the people in the city?"

Hearing Yang Zhi's words, Hu Duan said: "General, there should be about 60,000 people in the city who have not left. ”

60,000, this is only Pingzhou City, so many villages outside Pingzhou City, and those county seats?

The Turkic cavalry was just outside the city, and their goal was not necessarily to conquer the city, but they wanted equipment for the winter.

"Tell me my commandment, gather together all the grain in the city, and distribute it according to the amount, and I don't care who he is who he is who he is who has a large amount of grain in his house, but if he does not bring out the grain, let him come and guard the city for me."

Yang Zhi's words made the faces of the remaining thousands of households look ugly, and the food of the people in the city has been almost requisitioned by them during this time.

The people must have a surplus of food, but this is their food this winter and until next autumn's harvest, as well as seeds.

If all this grain is harvested, what will happen to the people?

"You just have to do what I command, and the people above will blame him in the future and let him come to me."

Yang Zhicai is not afraid, didn't he say that he still has the support of big people behind him?

Besides, Yang Zhi did this for the sake of everyone's good, and distributed it uniformly, at least to ensure that everyone could eat and no one would starve to death.

And he will definitely not sit still, Qingyang County can't count on it, it doesn't mean that Yang Zhi has no choice.

However, thinking of the five thousand soldiers and horses that escorted the disappearance of military salaries and grain and grass, Yang Zhi felt that the most suspicious thing in his heart was the Qin family, as if it was not unusual for them to do such a thing.

Chen Dong is used to Yang Zhi's style of acting, but these generals who are still alive in Pingzhou City are not used to it, but at present, Yang Zhi's military rank here is the highest, and he is a loyal and brave uncle, so they can only obey orders.

"Let's all have a good rest tonight, the Turks don't know how many reinforcements we have, so they will never dare to attack the city easily."

Yang Zhi's words also made the surviving generals sigh secretly.

Seeing the exhaustion of these people, as well as the faint look of despair, Yang Zhi said lightly: "Rest well, go out of the city with me tomorrow and kill the Turks."
