Chapter 9 First Leader 6
It was gratifying that when the 100 dead men were standing on the scene, dozens of people asked to join in. I simply added another 40 people. In this way, the strength of the death squad accounts for almost half of the total strength of the defenders.
However, I thought there was nothing wrong with it. Judging from my experience of fighting with Sun En in the past few months, it is better to take the initiative to attack than to sit and defend. Once you stay there and wait for Sun En to attack, you will fall into two disadvantages, one is the disadvantage of losing the initiative, and the other is to boost Sun En's anger.
For Sun En's gang of thieves, they are fearless to deal with ordinary officials, soldiers, people, etc., but they are still afraid to deal with the regular army of Jin, especially the Beifu Army. Unfortunately, such fear did not continue, because after defeating Xie Yan, Sun Wuyi, Huan Wucai, Gao Yazhi and others, their morale space was high, while the morale of our army was low.
Although it finally occupied Huiji City, the price paid is immeasurable.
Therefore, the frontier of the war is like the tip of a dagger for self-defense. If this blade is no longer sharp, then the situation can be imagined.
All the soldiers brought from Huiji asked to enter the death squad, but I didn't agree. After all, the Beifu soldiers brought from Huiji are all well-trained soldiers. Mixing the Beifu soldiers into the soldiers can form cohesion and help drive the courage of the original soldiers to kill the enemy.
I personally led the death squad, and the defenders of the second team designated one of the owners of the original soldiers as the captain.
The owner's surname is Wei, and he is the main general of the original garrison. He was born tall and powerful, and he was a fierce general at first sight. He is good at using a steel fork. In this year, it is usually unusual to use such a unique weapon.
Master Wei was an old general of Yushui. At that time, he was a lieutenant under Xie Yan. During the battle of Weishui, he killed dozens of Qin soldiers alone and captured a general and three lieutenants alive. Because of his achievements in fighting, he was once promoted to the position of lieutenant. However, because of his straightforward personality, he offended several people who joined the army, and was assigned to be the owner of the building.
After so many days, I didn't know the experience of this owner until today. I can't help but respect and feel a little sympathetic. But he doesn't care. A big man should stand up to the sky. Why do you bend down for just a few words?
From then on, it turns out that this chapter is not only weak, but also hides dragons and tigers. But many of them, like this owner, were stationed in this remote place for various reasons. In the sentence, he also tied his future.
I led everyone to the head of the city, and outside the city was the thieves who had just come to the city.
In fact, 3,000 people came to attack the city, and the number of people was not large. But these people are surrounded by the small Juzhang city, which is quite shocking.
Although the courage of the soldiers has been summoned, many people still showed timidity when they saw the enemies outside the city.
Cowardice is not all bad things. It is often two-sided. From it, there are two opposite possibilities. Either fear stimulates people's potential and makes people suddenly create terrible power; or fear wears out people's will and makes people vulnerable.
At present, it is difficult to judge what the fear of these soldiers will lead to. But what I know is that the first battle with the thief soldiers can only be won but not defeated. If you win, you can fight a battle and become a solid fortress; if you lose...
Although the thieves outside the city shouted for most of the day, there was no trace of siege. I guess maybe the thief soldiers didn't expect that the sentence Zhangcheng, which they thought could be easily broken, was on guard, so they needed to think about countermeasures instead of attacking recklessly.
The soldiers stayed in the city until dark and did not wait for them to attack the city. I had to arrange for a general to guard the city for me and go back home first.
I took my own soldiers down the city to the street. As soon as I arrived at a crossroads, I saw a man walking against the wall not far ahead, obviously looking like he had drunk. I drank him.
Before he came to him, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol. This makes me unhappy. Nowadays, in the face of the siege of the army and the shortage of food and fodder in the city, some people actually eat alcohol. Although no alcohol prohibition has been issued, wartime curfews and alcohol prohibitions are common sense, and it is also common sense that wine and wine are not allowed to sell alcohol when food and fodder are not available in the city. As a military barrier, it is at the forefront of the war, and its residents cannot be unaware of these rules.
The drunken man's confused eyes looking at me made me very angry. But I neither blamed him nor spoke. Because at this time, I suddenly felt a movement in my heart.
After interrogating the drunk, I asked my soldiers to take him away, and then knocked on a low-eaves hut.
The door quickly opened and poked out a frightened face. This man has obviously heard our conversation on the street in the house. After letting me into the house, he held the table in one hand and his legs trembled: the drinker was taken away by the soldiers, and the person selling alcohol did not know how to deal with it.
"Can you hide alcohol?" I asked directly.
"This... Xiaomin..." He didn't dare to speak.
"Do you know what time it is?" I forced to ask.
"General, Xiaomin is wrong." The man fell to his knees and kowtowed and said, "Xiaomin is not a vendor, but his family can't support it. Zu uploaded that there is a way to make wine, and I brew some to maintain my family. I have neither made a profit nor want to violate the law. General, please raise your hand."
"You don't look like a slippery person. Tell me how much wine you have hidden!"
"And... There are also seven or eight altars. He whispered.
"All confiscated! Take him away!"
"General!" The man shouted heartbreakingly and said on his knees, "General, please forgive Xiaomin this time. Xiaomin originally farmed outside the city. Because the war and the farmland was destroyed, he had to flee to the city and rent a residence. They were worried that there was nothing they could do and rely on selling alcohol for a living. If even this life is cut off, not only I have no way to live, but also my family has no way to live. Please, general, have mercy on my family.
"Became back home!" I didn't hear him cry anymore. He was ordered to take his wine back to his house.
After returning to the county government to deal with the business, I went to the city again. But there was still no movement all night.
(chapter note:
Note 1 - Female wall: a small convex wall above the wall, which is convenient for peeping and shooting. It is commonly known as the mouth.
Note 2-"The generation of the Han Dynasty should be painted high": a famous prophecy in the Three Kingdoms period. It means that the replacement of the emperor of the Han Dynasty is "Dang Tu Gao." The phrase "When Tu Gao" and its concealment have been given different meanings. It is also because the meaning is unclear that it is misinterpreted by many people.
Note 3 - Jinyang: the current Taiyuan. It has been a famous strong city since the Spring and Autumn Period. Because Jinyang City was too strong, in the Zhao and Song Dynasty (the history of the Song Dynasty established by Liu Yu was called "Liu Song"), Song Taizong thought that Jinyang City was "if it is prosperous, it will be subdued later, and if it declines, it will rebel first", so he destroyed the wall. During the reconstruction, strict city height restrictions were imposed on Jinyang City, and Jinyang was not allowed to be built too strong.
Note 4 - Lianqi: ancient utensils for guarding the city. Shaped like a nunchaku, you can hit the enemy on the ladder or behind the shield from the wall. Flying hook: an ancient tool for attacking the city. The front end is a petal-shaped hook with a rope attached to the back. After hooking the hook on the wall, he grabbed the rope and climbed up the city.
