Chapter 373: Trapped Beast

You see, according to the man, this is just the beginning.

There is still support in the rear that has not yet arrived.

This also means that the army attacking Qinghe City in a short period of time will reach an extremely terrifying number.

You must know that 50,000 people is already a lot, not to mention that there are more to come.

No one knows how many reinforcements will come next.

Liu Qiang wanted to inquire, but at the moment he had nowhere to inquire, just from the grain and grass transported in this camp, it could be seen that there was definitely a lot of quantity.

As for the news I heard from the capital, it is no longer accurate in Liu Qiang's opinion.

It's not that it's about the total, it's about the number of people who went to Qinghe City this time.

At that time, I learned in the capital that there were 100,000 troops heading south.

The worst-case scenario is that Qinghe Prefecture is surrounded by an army of 100,000.

In this way, even if you defend the city, you may not be able to hold it for long.

Of course, judging from the current situation of 50,000 troops, it is already very difficult.

What Liu Qiang didn't know was that General Zeng, who is now leading the army south, is known as a butcher.

In order to achieve the end, almost unscrupulous means.

Faced with the current situation.

Even in the face of an army of 50,000, they may not be able to hold the Qin River.

Not to mention that there are still 50,000 troops waiting behind.

Of course, in Liu Qiang's opinion, it is definitely not a wise choice to use all his forces to attack Qinghe City.

But he didn't know that it was really possible for him to do such a thing with the character of a butcher.

What's more, now that the butcher has indeed made such a choice.

Of course, what is more important now is that the butcher has not only made such a decision, but also does not care about the lives of the people in the city.

This also means that the situation is more complicated than Liu Qiang thought.

And Qin He, what they face will be even more severe.

Of course, Liu Qiang's side didn't know about these things.

For Liu Qiang today, he has no idea how serious the problems they are facing now are.

If I knew, I don't think I would have been wasting so much time here.

Of course, Liu Qiang can't be blamed for this, after all, the current situation, even if it is Liu Qiang, there is no way to change it.

In fact, although he didn't know about the situation later, he also knew that with the current situation, if he couldn't make a decision earlier, it would inevitably be more troublesome in the future.

Inside the castle of Qinghe.

As the southbound army continued to approach the atmosphere in the city, it was even more depressing to the extreme.

When many ordinary people learned that they would be brought back to Dongqin Island, they were even more grateful.

Even they never thought that Lord Qin would make such a decision.

In their opinion, Lord Qin should have asked them to wait for the arrival of the enemy army in this city.

But the result was not what they expected.

In just two days, half of the people who left Qinghe City had already arrived.

You know, that's fast.

After all, the number of ships is limited nowadays, and many people in the city still have to carry their belongings when they leave.

No one has any complaints about such a speed.

There was no scramble to leave.

At this point, Qin He was quite surprised.

After all, it is not easy for these ordinary letters to be able to do this in the face of life and death.

However, there was not enough time left for them, and two days to evacuate half of the people in the city was a great surprise to them.

By the early morning of the third day, everything had changed.

The people of the city had no way to leave, even if they wanted to.

Because outside Qinghe City today, it has been surrounded by the southbound army.

Not to mention people going out, even if a bird wants to fly out, it is estimated that it will be killed by random arrows.

Of course, even so, the people of the city did not complain at all.

Because they all knew that Lord Qin had done enough, and they didn't have the ability to blame Lord Qin for this matter.

In fact, there are only a few people who really want to leave but have never left.

And now the most of the people who have changed their surnames in Qinghe City want to protect their homes with the militia in the city.

Even though they knew that it would be bad luck to stay in the city now, they chose to stay in the end.

Now all they can do is help the militia in the city deliver supplies and do what they can.

Of course, there are also some burly men who want to join the militia at this time.

It's just that such requests were rejected by Qin He one by one.

It's not that he doesn't want to increase his troops at this time, but he knows that even if he increases his troops in this city, it won't have any effect.

Because today's Qinghe City is already full of soldiers, as for whether that name is important, it is insignificant at the moment.

Of course, Qin He also knew that the people in the city now care very much about such a title.

But he didn't want the people of the city to have to choose to die with them because of such a title.

Of course, this is also the worst-case scenario.

And on the other side.

Outside the city of Qinghe.

Facing Qinghe City, where the city gate was closed, the southbound army outside the city saw nothing more than a battle of trapped beasts, and sooner or later they would all be taken down.

In a tent outside the city.

The butcher Zeng in Bi Hanlin's mouth was looking at the map of Qinghe City at the moment, and his face showed an indifferent expression.

In fact, for him, he really didn't expect things to go so smoothly at first.

More precisely, they had their current plans in place before they arrived in the Smoke and Rain Province.

And the premise that this plan needs to be achieved from beginning to end is that it must be there, and the people inside Qinghe City should be the internal response.

If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have been able to cross the eyeliner so easily and come to the hinterland of Qinghe City.

Of course, the traitor they are most concerned about now in Qinhe is still in Qinghe City.

It's just that they haven't found out Qin He yet.

However, for the butcher Zeng, he naturally knew about this person, and also gave him the promise he deserved.

As long as Qinghe City can be taken, then Qinghe City will be taken care of by him in the future.

And this person is none other than one of the people around Qin He.

"General, when are we going to launch a general attack?"

A soldier standing beside Zheng Hai asked.

When he heard this, Zeng Hai's originally indifferent face showed a playful expression.

Then he spoke.

"There is no urgency in this matter for the time being, have you forgotten how the kid surnamed Qin took Nanyang City?"

When he heard his own general say this, the soldier's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Because he naturally knew how Qin He and they took Nanyang City.
