Chapter 316: Soldiers Descend on the City

And the people in the city naturally knew the news about Qin Kou's attack.

Now the people in the city are criticizing the Qin River.

After all, their peaceful days were shattered like this.

However, when the real army approached, they felt the unprecedented feeling of suffocation.

In fact, they were already feeling the suffocation before the army was even close.

As soon as the city gate was blocked, the people in the city were already in chaos.

Among them, there are many wealthy businessmen who want to leave this Nanyang City through connections.

However, in the end, they were all left in the city.

It's not that Zheng Dahai doesn't want to take this opportunity to make a windfall.

But now that there are people from the Xie family here, even if he wants to earn this money, the Xie family has to agree.

And in this matter, the Xie family only gave one order, that is, no matter who it is, they must not enter Nanyang City.

This also means that he is in the sea, and he doesn't want to earn the current money.

For such a thing, although Zheng Dahai felt a little regretful in his heart, it was also within the acceptable range.

On the contrary, those rich businessmen and wealthy families are like ants on a hot pot at the moment.

You must know that once the flames of war are ignited, it means that their lives will be guaranteed.

I have worked hard to earn so much money, and now I can't even guarantee a small life.

All of a sudden, I was even more frightened.

And the attitude of the people in the city towards this matter, although they still resent Qin He and them.

But it's not that rushed.

It's not that they don't care about life and death, it's because they know they have no way to escape the spread of this war.

Originally, at the beginning, some ordinary people thought that those rich businessmen and wealthy families would be able to leave early.

But the result was not what they expected.

Instead of anyone leaving, those guys continued to stay in their homes.

It is precisely because of this that it has also caused many people in the city to gloat for a while.

After all, even those rich people can't leave, there is no way to hide from them, so why care so much?

If you want to die, at least those who have rich people will have to die with you.

For the current situation, Qin He naturally didn't know about it.

On the other hand, because it was Nanyang City that was about to be attacked this time, Qin He also brought Lin Er stunned.

After all, Lin Er was stunned and had been stationed in Nanyang City for so many years, so he naturally knew the fortifications in the city.

Therefore, if you want to take this Nanyang City, having Lin Er stunned there is twice the result with half the effort.

Lin Er was stunned and readily agreed after learning of this situation.

But the only one who suffers is Lin Er's stunned wife.

Because he never thought that Qin He would attack them, this Nanyang City would be so decisive.

She wasn't even given the slightest chance to get the news back.

These days, she did learn a lot of news about Qinhe from her father-in-law.

But knowing it didn't help, because they were on the island and wanted to spread the news, so they had to go through the fishing boats.

She was already unfamiliar with life here, let alone let the news get out.

Even if she wanted to go to Qinghe Prefecture to find someone to help, there was no way.

It can be said that he is now trapped on the island.

The moment she learned that she was about to attack Nanyang City, Lin Er's stunned wife already smiled bitterly in her heart.

Nowadays, it is almost impossible to get the news back.

Until she followed her father-in-law and arrived outside Nanyang City, she failed to send the news back.

On the island, there was no way to get the news out, and since he set out with the army, it was because he could feel that he was being watched all the time.

If there is any abnormal behavior, it will be detected as soon as possible.

Because of this, he didn't dare to risk spreading the news.

However, this waited outside Nanyang City.

Today's Nanyang City is closed at the gate of the city, and it is even more empty.

Anyone standing outside the city at this moment can feel an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

On the city wall, you can vaguely see officers and soldiers hiding behind the city wall, always vigilant against the people below.

Qin He did not call for an attack at the first time they arrived.

On the contrary, under Bi Hanlin's arrangement, 20,000 militiamen were stationed at the gates of Nanyang City in batches.

Again, no one is allowed to come in or out.

Of course, in order to prevent the people on the city walls from attacking with bows and arrows, they were still a long way from the city gates.

Even a bow and arrow could not reach such a range.

After everything was arranged, Bi Hanlin ordered the garrison to be lit directly in situ with a roaring bonfire.

Smoke curls up around Nanyang City at this moment.

The aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of rice also drifted into Nanyang City in the wind.

Although these things did not have any appeal to those dignitaries, they were not so for the common people in the city.

The city had been locked down more than a dozen days ago, and they had never expected such a thing to happen.

Many people in their homes want to buy food after they run out of food.

However, it turned out to make them scold.

Today, the price of food in the city has increased several times.

The average person really can't afford it.

Now there are many ordinary people in the city, who have fallen into famine.

Although the surplus food at home can last a little time, it is still counting the grains of rice every day to live.

But the smell of meat wafting from outside the city made them swallow their saliva subconsciously.

However, even so, they had to tighten their belts to get by.

As for the officers and soldiers on the city wall, when they saw the militia stationed outside the city wall at this moment.

The expressions on the faces varied.

The other cities may have been accustomed to it at this moment, and the officers and soldiers who lived comfortably would surely panic.

But for the officers and soldiers of Nanyang City, this is not the case.

Just from the way they were hiding on the top of the sinking pond, it was not clear that they were all well-trained officers and soldiers.

This has to be thanked to Lin Er for being stunned.

After all, if it weren't for the strict and harsh training conditions he usually had, how could he get the result he has now.

In fact, at this point, Zheng Dahai was indeed happy.

If Lin Er hadn't been stunned, maybe he really didn't have the confidence to be able to defend this city in two months.

But now the situation is different, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city under him have also been trained by Lin Erzi.

Naturally, it is much better than those officers and soldiers in other places.

This is also the reason why Zheng Dahai was able to agree.

But even so, for these officers and soldiers who have never really experienced the war, the current battle still makes them feel a little worried in their hearts.
