Chapter 1196
"Once upon a time... our Great Zhou army was not without encounters with besieged cities. My father's town king, Bai Qishan, was once trapped in Fengcheng by an army of 30,000 troops. He persisted despite the lack of soldiers and food supplies!" Bai Qing Yan Zhi stood up and looked at the generals of Zhou who surrounded her, "What's more, we not only have 5,000 soldiers, but we also have more than 30,000 people in Gyantse!"
Du Sanbao walked up to Bai Qingyan: "Although these Xiliang people have given up their identity as Xiliang people and entered the Great Zhou Dynasty, they are not native Dazhou people after all. Can they really fight side by side with us?"
"These Xiliang people chose to become Dazhou people precisely because they knew how hard it would be if they continued to be Xiliang people. The houses and food they got today... are all hard-won. They have experienced life and death. After experiencing the famine, they will be more grateful to be a day when the people of Dazhou have a family and food!"
Bai Qingyan looked at the generals: "Thinking about it from another angle, if you Xiliang people, the Xiliang army scavenged the people's grain as military rations, but Da Zhou could give you his own grain...to save your life! Now Xiliang is in the outskirts of the city, The Emperor of the Great Zhou is in the city. Do you choose to defend the city of Gyantse after a battle with the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and then you will be exempted from the money owed to the government, the land and the houses, or do you want the Emperor of the Great Zhou to die here and let Xiliang invade the city... Wait for the Great Zhou Army to attack and slaughter the city to avenge the Great Zhou Emperor?"
Bai Qingyan's meaning is very clear, to treat these Xiliang people who have just become the people of the Great Zhou, we must show both kindness and majesty, so that they understand... If they don't follow the Great Zhou to resist the Xiliang army this time, they will have no way out.
"But none of these people have been trained..." Wang Jin looked worried.
"It doesn't matter if you haven't received training. Help transport things to the city wall and bandage the wounded. These can reduce the burden on our Great Zhou army!" Seeing Liu Pinggao walking quickly towards the barracks, Bai Qingyan said, "First Investigate the secret agents of Xiliang who have already entered the city and the ambush soldiers mixed among the refugees, and then persuade the people to divide the work and cooperate!"
"The general will understand!" Du Sanbao responded.
After Liu Pinggao stepped into the barracks, after saluting with Bai Qingyan, Bai Qingyan said: "General Liu will make arrangements..."
"Yes!" Liu Pinggao took the order and began to order, "After the generals go back, they will send an order that all the soldiers of the Great Zhou should wrap their left arms in fine cotton to prevent the Xiliang enemy from entering the city with the refugees."
Liu Pinggao looked at Du Sanbao: "Two thousand soldiers are in charge of defending the southeast two city walls, dispatched by Du Sanbao, today's city defense password... fearless!"
"Yes! The last general takes orders!" Du Sanbao clasped his fists and said.
"Two thousand soldiers have defended the two walls in the northwest, dispatched by Wang Jin, the password for the city defense... fearless!"
"Wang Jin accepts the order!" Wang Jin cupped his fists and accepted the order.
"Five hundred soldiers are in charge of patrolling the city, and Huang Ancheng is in charge. The password for patrolling is...no thief."
"Huang Ancheng takes orders!"
"Five hundred soldiers have been divided into groups, and they are going door-to-door to inquire about the details of entering the city. They are dispatched by Li Jiang. Li Jiang's people have already gone, and the patrol team password is clear!" Liu Ping said loudly, "Everyone, please tell the soldiers, remember your generals, Remember the passwords of each team. This is a special period...When you meet a Da Zhou soldier wearing a Da Zhou army uniform with unknown intentions, you must see whether their arms are wrapped with muslin cloth, and ask where the soldiers are and which general they are Be responsible, be sure to know the password clearly!"
"yes!"
The generals responded in unison and immediately split up.
"Your Majesty..." Seeing that the soldiers had already left the barracks, Liu Pinggao turned to look at Bai Qingyan, "Your Majesty is not safe under the city gate. We should go back to the mansion first. If there is a fight, it will not be safe here."
Bai Qingyan sat down on the chair, put his elbows on the armrest and said, "I'll just wait here, guess for a while...then I can find out the details of Xiliang's sneaking into the city in advance, and even hidden soldiers. Exchange these Xiliang soldiers for the guards of our Bai family army."
At this moment, Bai Qingyan was 80% sure that the Bai family army she sent out of the city had already been arrested.
Perhaps, after a while, the old general Cui will bring the guards of the Bai family to come to show off his power in person, and hit their confidence in the Great Zhou Army, making all the Great Zhou soldiers feel that if the news cannot be sent out, they will undoubtedly lose if they stick to this place.
General Cui is very good at attacking the mind.
When the army besieged the city, the city walls and gates could be strong only if the army's morale was strong, and the city gates could become an iron wall, so in the days to come... this old general Cui will try every means to attack and shake Da Zhou's army's morale.
When Liu Pinggao heard this, he knew that before Bai Qingyan came to the city gate, he had already sent people out of the south gate, which had never been besieged before... to report the news, and it was also to test whether there was an ambush at the south gate. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid It was because there was an ambush at the south gate. At that time, General Cui did not let the army surround the south gate, just to leave a hole for their Majesty to escape from the south gate, so as to capture their Emperor Da Zhou alive.
This Old General Cui's name, Liu Pinggao, was naturally heard of as a war general. Previously, this Old General Cui was killed by the Xiliang Emperor because of his false surrender, and he has since faded out of everyone's sight.
I didn't expect that this time I would personally lead the army and appear around the city of Gyantse mysteriously.
After all, this is Xiliang's chassis. They are not yet familiar with the Zhou army. As a veteran general who has marched and fought for many years, he naturally knows where they will send sentries, and knows how to avoid them cleverly, and even... kill them. sentinel of their great week.
It is inevitable that when fighting on other countries' land, they are not as clear about the geographical environment as the soldiers and generals of their own country.
Liu Pinggao was determined to stay by Bai Qingyan's side, and to protect their emperor of the Great Zhou no matter what.
·
The army outside the city of Gyantse besieged the city.
In the city of Gyantse, torches are flickering in every street and alley, and the Zhou army is searching people from house to house, checking whether the number of people in the family at this moment is the same as that registered when they entered the city according to the registered household registration.
I don't know if I don't check, but after checking, something went wrong. The patrol soldiers fought with a small group of enemy troops near Bai Qingyan's mansion, and captured a dozen Xiliang soldiers who had sneaked into the city with the refugees.
The people first knew that the Xiliang army was besieging the city, and then they heard that the Zhou army was going door-to-door. If any family members were found to be absent, they would send the whole family to prison. Before, they took money from others...let them pretend to be their own family members in the city and count on them together. The people of Xiliang who could allocate more land were panicked when they could allocate a big house.
They also understood at this time that they were being used. Those Xiliang soldiers lurked in early to open the city gate for the Xiliang army outside when the Xiliang army besieged the city.
No, as long as Da Zhou Bing found his home, before Da Zhou Jun asked in detail, everyone who brought people into Xiliang Bing would kneel down and recruit honestly.
The first update, asking for a monthly pass...
