Chapter 17 Blood Armor
Zhou Erhua was in the military camp and was discussing this matter with all the generals. When he heard that Gu Chongshi saw him, Wang Hua said: "Ming Gong, don't worry, our Turks in Fante County came to invade, not to attack the city or plunder the land, but to plunder the troops, and even to divide the troops into Fante, there will be no problem. Now that our city wall has been consolidated, we have prepared a large number of weapons in advance. It should be fine if we hold on for a few days.
Wang Hua was lying, and this lie must be said. When he learned that the Turks were coming, many people from the countryside rushed into the county town to take refuge. They thought that the county town had at least a wall blocking it, which was safer than outside. This idea was also correct, but if the city was broken, it would face greater disasters.
People outside the city ran to the city, and people in the city felt unsafe and walked to the rear to retreat. The public security was in chaos, and robbery and fights occurred from time to time. If the county magistrate felt scared at this time, Fante County would not attack the enemy and would mess up the camp. At that time, Wang Hua's efforts would be wasted.
Hearing Wang Hua's words, the county magistrate felt better. He stepped down. Now he was very busy and had no time to stay.
Wang Huacai turned his head and saw a feeling of luck on Chen Changshi's face. He said, "Chen Changshi, do you also think what I just said is true?"
"Maybe Chen Changshi said hesitantly. After all, he was a civilian and had bad skills. When the enemy came, he finally became timid.
Wang Hua looked around and saw a person's courage. Kong Heizi's eyes were a little cautious, but his expression was very firm. He was also considering that he had a wife and a young son, otherwise he would have jumped out long ago. Gongsun Yun and his family had no expressions and had fought against the Turks in Hebei. Since Wang Hua had made arrangements, I believe there would be arrangements after accepting them. He even saw Shan Xuefeng eager to try, but he was young and did not know the terribleness of a large-scale war.
Although Liu Bingcao and Gu Guoyi were a little worried, they did not see any fear. Duan and Zhang, the two regiment commanders, had similar expressions, but Yu Chanjun might have received more news, just like Chen Changshi, and he had a little fear. He did not see the confidence to win from a person's face.
I hope there will be no major problems at that time. This is the threshold. If this is successful, everyone will not be like this. But because of the lack of self-confidence, this threshold will not be easy to pass.
Wang Hua would tell the truth and let them prepare their mentally as soon as possible. He said: "Everyone, don't be lucky. The enemy went straight to Daizhou. But in the same way, Governor Xiong also knew the strength of our government soldiers, and the county town was rebuilt. He would definitely take time out all the border troops and hand over the Fante county town to us to guard. We have even fewer people.
Before Wang Hua's words could be finished, the soldiers came in to report that all the border troops left in Fante were withdrawn. What was most annoying was that they also took away a large number of bows and arrows supported by Wang Hua and the Wang family in Taiyuan and some newly made gray bottles. It was only because the wood was too heavy, otherwise most of the wood might be taken away.
Everyone was dissatisfied when they heard this. This was not military-managed materials, it was all private sponsorship. Xionggui had no right to use it, so why did he take it to Daizhou?
Wang Hua waved his hand and said, "Just pretend that the Wang family has no support. Now there are only thousands of border troops in Daizhou. Facing 30,000 cavalry, the pressure is also very heavy. Enter the city."
The city was originally very chaotic, but now when hundreds of border troops were evacuated, the people would be even more panicked. Then the order of the county town was even more serious than the Turkic soldiers who came to the city. What is a mess? If you don’t feel it, you can’t feel it at all.
When Wang Hua brought the soldiers into the city with his men, the order in the city was extremely chaotic, and people shouted horses everywhere. The city gates were blocked, some wanted to enter the city, and some wanted to leave the city. Wang Hua immediately placed the weapons of the war horses and asked the soldiers to assist the county officials and yamen runners to maintain order.
He returned home by himself and found the little loli again. He said, "Princess, this time the Turkic army has arrived. You can go outside and take a look. It's still time to walk now
"I won't leave," Yu Zhen replied firmly.
"Forget it, I'll treat you well in the future." Wang Hua was also moved by the child and stroked her head.
Then I looked at the tunnel and built one. Several guards were moving food and water into it. In fact, it was an authentic tunnel, but rather a cellar. After one passage, there were two small rooms, and there were even a few beds inside. The ventilation opening was opened under the vegetation corner in the garden. It was very secret. At the entrance of the tunnel, there was a large water tank on it. Of course, the enemy really attacked the city and lifted the water tank and everything was finished. But this might be minimal.
Wang Hua took a little more peace of mind.
In the evening, the order was slightly settled, and the people entering the city were also assigned to some spacious houses and distributed food. Fortunately, as Wang Hua said, everyone knew that each Turkic invasion did not last long, and it would be fine if they survived.
Wang Huacai gathered the soldiers in the palace and said, "Everyone, now that the war is coming, even if we are in the traditional Chinese, we may be violated. I will not talk about the great truth of sacrificing our lives for the country, but we have given up. Everyone, you, and your family, still cannot escape the bad fate.
Only by defending the city, we are the only way out. We will be able to repair and discuss the city walls, and we will also prepare the weapons to support the city walls. I have Yu Feng, and the credit will come to you, and even be promoted. I will not talk about the great truth. If you don’t fight, you will die. If you fight, you may have a life, and you will have a merit. You will keep most of your relatives who have entered the city safe.
"Duwei, don't worry, we will definitely follow your orders and answer together. Although it is not neat, some soldiers in the palace were worried, but they also answered. Wang Hua said so clearly that escaping is also a death run, and if he doesn't escape, there may be a chance of life. Besides, Wang Hua is so kind to them.
"Then practice again." Wang Hua said.
They have always learned how to attack and defend the city wall. They have not practiced it yet. Don’t think that it’s okay to hide behind the city wall. The enemy will also have strong bows and crossbows to shoot the city head, and there will be stone throwers to throw flying stones to the city head head. There are also how to shoot the enemy down from the city ladder when the enemy uses a cloud ladder.
The most important city walls of Fante County are not tall, and these dangers will be even worsened.
Wang Hua looked at the soldiers practicing before he calmed down.
Fanye is a small county with a population of less than 20,000. In his previous life, it was just a larger market town. When the Turkic invaded, even if they divided their troops to attack Fante, they would not be divided into too many soldiers. As long as they stood firm on their own, Daizhou would not attack over there, and they would drag the enemy's main force. Mochu would not be nervous, turn the spear head, and fight Fanchou with all his strength. This was like killing a chicken with a mo knife. It was not worth it to win without force.
The key is the soldiers under his command. Although they have been practicing for so long, they are basically qualified. Most of them have never been to the battlefield. If you are afraid and collapse first, you will have no cure.
When he returned home, the family now became a temporary base camp. Because the house was large, the two rows of houses were vacated and the soldiers in the front were placed. However, before he could breathe, a hunter who had released it came back to report, and he found out that important news. The Turkic soldiers were divided into two groups, with about 10,000 people in one group, and they rushed towards Fante.
"What?" Wang Hua shivered for a moment. If there are less than 10,000 people, it is less than 9,000, or 8,000? This is far beyond Wang Hua's expectations. It is already his greatest tolerance for his idea that two or three thousand Turks would come. Until now, he is still thinking of ways. If the enemy comes one or two thousand people, plus some consumption, can we chew them down when the enemy withdraws? Now there are less than 10,000 people!
Wang Hua was really a little impatient. He immediately asked him to go down and rest, but told him not to disclose it to the outside world. He immediately called Kong Heizi. Others didn't believe it, and they might have collapsed when they heard the news.
Kong Heizi's face was covered with dark clouds when he heard it. He said half a day later: "It's not that there is no hope. The Turks invade for a short time. And this time, for speed, they are all cavalry and there are few siege equipment. But I splashed cold water. If the enemy really doesn't have to take advantage of the special situation, we have no hope of defending this city.
"I know, so I don't dare not inform them of other people."
"Your Majesty is not a disappointing thing. It depends on what you think. It is wise to evacuate the Mante at this time.
Wang Hua raised his head blankly and evacuated at this time? Then Fante immediately exploded the camp, and the Turks were defeated before they came. Don’t count on his career in his life. He gritted his teeth and said, “Uncle Kong, this is impossible.”
Kong Heizi thought for a while and said, "Then please ask for reinforcements from behind."
There was only this way. Wang Hua immediately called two soldiers to go to Xinzhou with his souvenirs. Now Daizhou is facing the attack of the enemy's main force, and it is impossible to let Xiong Keji divide his troops out and help him defend Fante. He can only find a way to squeeze out some soldiers from Xinzhou.
But the news still blocked Wang Hua.
Xinzhou was not far away, and it was almost over. The next morning, the two soldiers of the palace came back. They looked disappointed and said, "The lieutenant, they refused to borrow troops. They also said, since the Turks could invade Daizhou, they could invade Xinzhou at any time, and they were not able to defend themselves. But there was another bad thing to say later."
"What's the matter?.
"The soldier who passed the message said to the commander, you could challenge the seven surnames with one person at that time. That was so majestic. If you have sex today, don't ask for our seven surnames."
This is a major military and national event, what does it have to do with the seven surnames? Wang Hua called Yu Zhanjun, who was from Taiyuan and was familiar with this area and asked: "Who is the governor of Xinzhou?"
"Prince Wang, what are you asking about this?" Yu Shenjun said with a strange expression.
"Say! Tell me his identity." Wang Hua suddenly said sternly.
