155 The family is in ambush, and the city is waiting for help
Hearing Su Ming's words, these people from the big families had a bottom in their hearts.
If you have 8,000 soldiers and horses, you will be able to hold Yecheng for seven months?
It doesn't take seven months, it's just seven days.
Seven days later, didn't Prime Minister Cao's reinforcements come?
As soon as Prime Minister Cao Cheng came, Zhang He, who was designated to be able to fight, fell into the flowers and fled, and maybe, he could capture Zhang He alive!
As for where did these 8,000 soldiers and horses come from?
This doesn't need to be the fairy method of sprinkling beans into soldiers, we lend it to you.
The people of these gate valve families are all together, and each of them has its own private army.
Their private army was carefully selected, and each of them was a strong man from the age of twenty to the age of thirty, seven feet tall, with a big waist and a round waist.
Weapons and equipment, training or something, are not inferior to serious soldiers.
When the people of these big families are together, there are 300 private troops in your family, 500 private troops in my family, and 800 private troops in other families.
In the end, a total of 5,000 private troops were gathered.
In addition to these 5,000 private troops, these family members and their housekeepers, guards, servants, shop men, coolies, etc., can also go to the city gate to help.
Although these people are not trained and cannot be used as soldiers.
However, they can carry things to the city wall, and they can't use bows and arrows, but they can still do simple things such as carrying thunder stones and rolling logs and smashing them down.
In addition to the 5,000 private troops, they made up 8,000 young and strong laborers.
After a group of people from the gate valve family discussed, they sent a representative to report to Su Ming.
"General Su, if you are given another 5,000 elite soldiers, plus 8,000 young and strong laborers, you may be able to defend Yecheng?" The representative of the family asked Su Ming.
After this person asked this, the rest of the people from the big families all looked at Su Ming with blank eyes, wanting Su Ming to give an answer.
"Yes! Of course! ”
"As the saying goes, five times the siege, ten times the attack. If I had five thousand good soldiers, and eight thousand young and strong laborers. Zhang He's 50,000 soldiers and horses want to capture Yecheng, there is absolutely no possibility, at least 150,000 soldiers and horses are needed. Speaking of this, Su Ming sighed and said, "Hey! What a pity! I don't have so many soldiers, I only have 800 traps. ”
"What a pity! I don't know how to sprinkle beans into soldiers, if I can do the spell of sprinkling beans into soldiers, then it would be fine. ”
After getting a positive answer from Su Ming's mouth, these people from the big family thought to themselves, okay, General Su, don't scatter beans and become soldiers.
You just sprinkle beans into a soldier, and you have to prepare these tens of thousands of beans, don't you?
"General Su, 5,000 elite soldiers, plus these 8,000 young and strong laborers, we will lend it to you!"
"I'll send it to you before it gets dark!" This representative of the family said.
"You guys?"
"You have soldiers?" Su Ming asked knowingly.
The people of the family led by him said: "The private army of our various families, the guards of the family, the men in the shop, and the coolies. Also, the young children of our various families are all under the dispatch of General Su Ming. ”
"I only want one thing, that is, the general must defend this Yecheng!"
"This"
"Isn't that right?" Su Ming pretended to hesitate.
Seeing that Su Ming was still here, these people in the family were anxious, and they said again and again: "General Su, don't hesitate. ”
"This Yecheng, please leave it to you."
"General Su, now we beg you to help us defend the city."
"If Zhang He is allowed to enter the city, he will slaughter the city."
As they spoke, these people from the big families knelt on the ground like dumplings.
At this time, knowing the truth, Zhang Liao, Xu Qian and others all held back their laughter, thinking, General Su is really powerful!
With a little trickery, in turn, let these families beg him to defend the city.
took the initiative to contribute all of his private army and family nursing home.
At this time, it is time for Su Ming to show his Oscar-level acting skills.
I saw that Su Ming had tears in his eyes and said with emotion: "Thanks to your expectations, I, Su Ming, will definitely defend Yecheng no matter what." ”
"Even if I Su Ming die, I can't let Zhang He slaughter the city."
The atmosphere is here, and these people from the big families have scolded Zhang He.
"Zhang He is really not a thing, he will slaughter the city at every turn."
"Zhang He, this bastard, what a butcher!"
"It's still General Su Ming's noble character!"
"In this world, there are not many generals like General Su Ming who love soldiers like sons and love the people like sons."
After these people from the big families returned home, they hurriedly stopped the manpower and sent the 5,000 private troops and 8,000 young and strong laborers over.
Before sending these people to Su Ming, the people of the big family also held a special meeting for them.
Tell them that once Yecheng is broken, Zhang He will slaughter the city to vent his personal anger. Behind them are their parents, their wives and children, their sisters, and their brothers.
In any case, you can't retreat on the battlefield, you must fight hard to kill the enemy and defend Yecheng.
And told them that after defending Yecheng, everyone would be greatly rewarded.
After these 5,000 private soldiers and 8,000 young and strong laborers were in hand, Su Ming's troops would be sufficient.
With these forces in hand, he is completely sure to hold Yecheng.
On the other side, Qu A is like a nimble cheetah, constantly shuttling through the mountains and forests.
The bumpy mountain road, the clutter of vines and thorns, these did not affect Qu'a's speed in the slightest.
Even, if you don't look closely, you will think that this is an ape shuttling through the mountains and forests, not that it is a person.
In order to prevent the enemies of Yecheng from asking Cao Cao for help, Zhang He had already sent people to block the official roads around Yecheng, set up cards everywhere, and also sent cavalry patrols.
It's just that Zhang He couldn't have imagined that someone could be as agile as a monkey and travel at this speed in the mountains.
Since Qu A hit Yecheng, he has been rushing over the mountains and mountains in the direction of Guandu.
When you are thirsty, you drink mountain springs, when you are hungry, you eat some dry food that you bring with you, and when you are sleepy, you squint on the branches for a while.
Since he played Yecheng, Qu Ah has not dared to delay for a moment.
After leaving a certain range of Yecheng, Qu A came to the edge of the mountain forest near the official road and traveled along the edge of the official road and the mountain forest.
Walking directly on the official road, Qu A was afraid of encountering Zhang He's ambush. Walking in the mountains and forests, he was afraid of missing Cao Cao's soldiers and horses.
Therefore, the edge of the official road and the mountain forest was chosen.
In this way, he can escape into the mountains and forests when he encounters an ambush, and he will not miss Cao Cao's army.
Qu A leaned over on the ground, and the sound of "da, da, da" came from his ears.
Qu A understood that there was a cavalry passing through here, so he hurriedly hid behind a piece of bluestone next to the mountain forest, exposed his head, and carefully observed the front.
Qu Ah has to look carefully, whose soldiers and horses are coming.
