Chapter 790 Five days(2/2)
But if it is big enough, many heavy troops must be sent to guard it. Therefore, the Western Xia could not build a fortress in Pingxiachuan. But it didn't matter to the Song Dynasty, with more people, more soldiers, more money!
Now this city is big enough, with city gates open on all sides.
In order to defend, all four gates have built large-scale urns. The first one to be repaired was the urns. However, the remaining walls have not been repaired yet. Some have been repaired one person to be tall, while others have been only half a person to be tall.
In addition, a circular fence was built in the center of the city to prevent sudden attacks by the Xixia people. At the same time, there were some simple warehouses inside, with various materials and grass piled up.
The people of Xixia are here.
With a vast army of more than 100,000, Qu Zhen had only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, so he could only watch on the wall of Shimenxia.
But the Xia army's vocation was a bit strange and brought many shovels.
To march, we have to prepare some equipment, such as building bridges and opening roads, shovels, axes, hammers, chisels, saws, etc., but in their line, they brought many shovels.
This is also forced. Pingxia City has many fences. Although the city wall has not been repaired yet, if you climb over the city wall, the Song army inside has fences to cover it, and it just happens to be a target. Either you enter the four urns, but this urn is very tall, and each urn is almost no less than some very small fortresses. If it is repaired, how can you capture it?
Therefore, the city wall had to be destroyed, so that the Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians in the city had no danger to rely on, and the second Yongle City victory appeared again.
This shows that the people of Xixia came prepared.
Guo Cheng gathered more than 10,000 civilians together.
He said: "The Xixia army is about to arrive, but please rest assured, all the fellow villagers. This is a planned arrangement, and it was planned by Taibao, so Mr. Zhang was transferred from the south."
"That too insurance?" someone asked curiously.
"Wang Taibao of the Great Victory of Qingzhou." What should I do? Zhang Feng's fame cannot convince these people, but Wang Ju's fame is enough to convince most people.
"And if we just stick to it for five days, we will have a great victory. In just five days, do you know the defeat of Yongle City? The defeat of Yongle City is mainly due to the lack of water in the city, which is like that. The Xixia people attacked for many days but had not yet taken it. However, twenty days later, heavy rain fell, and the foundation of the new city wall was exposed to the sun. Later, it was raining, and there was no time to tamp it in solid shape, so it was knocked down by the Xia army. Our army was hungry and tired, which made the Xixia people take Yongle City. But are we short of water now?"
The ground here is humid. Just dig it and you can get a well out. How can there be a shortage of water?
"And that Xixia dispatched 300,000 soldiers and horses, and this time there were only more than 100,000 soldiers and horses. We only had to hold on for five days, could we not do it?"
In fact, in the battle of Yongle City, Xu Xi's performance was also considered brave. He carried two pancakes every day, patrolled the city, and personally refused the enemy. When he was trapped, he would sleep on the soldier's thigh for a while. Therefore, the three armies were sobbing, holding sores and enduring thirst to kill the enemy, which led to the accumulation of corpses of the three Western Xia armies under the city. But mistakenly, he mistakenly missed this person. First, Gao Yongheng persuaded that the city had few people with few water and could not defend, and this person was less powerful. Xu Xi thought that Gao Yongheng shook the morale of the army and almost killed Gao Yongheng. Then Gao Yong could see that Xu Xi was unreasonable, so he advised Li Ji to the Xincheng After being soaked in rain for a long time, the soil is loose. It is better to go out of the city to recruit dead soldiers and break out. Seven or eight people can survive if ten people are alive. Otherwise, they can only sit and wait for death. Qu Zhen forwarded this to Xu Xi, and Xu Xi said, Qu Hou has already defeated his army and wants to abandon the city! Qu Zhen was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. What ability do we have to defeat the 300,000 Xia army with this little soldier? When the city finally broke, Xu Xi had nothing to say. Li Shun ripped his clothes and silk to make a report, and I had no hatred for death, but I hope that the officials would not give up this enemy. Li Ji also made a report, and I suffered a lot.
But it also fulfilled Wang Ju. Because of this, Wang Ju's request was either too much or inexplicably, Zhao Xu agreed one by one.
Guo Cheng didn't want to say much about the right and wrong of Yongle City, and said, "Five days later, as long as those who are willing to participate in the war, regardless of whether they have made meritorious service, the Zhang Guild will give you five stakes of money each, and kill one enemy at the same time, and reward ten stakes of money. Remember, it's only five days."
As he said that, he gestured to the guards beside him.
After a while, the officers and soldiers brought boxes one by one. Guo Cheng first opened the box in front, which contained a lot of copper coins and silk handovers.
"These money is the reward for you, and they will be released in five days."
Then I opened the box behind, which contained many compound bows and some battle knives: "These are weapons. Those who are willing to participate in the war should sign up immediately and come and get the weapons."
The mystery has been revealed, in fact, including the construction of Pingxia City so large, not only does it need to be large, but it will also be an important storage area in the future.
There are also civil servants. The salary of civil servants transferred this time is very high, but civil servants are deliberately selected secretly. No one is not strong, just for these five days!
Of course, these civilians don't know.
If you say something thousands of things, it is better to be realistic than to be true. Money is the touching thing.
Besides, they came to the front line to build a city for a salary of ten cents. Who is not from a poor family?
Guo Cheng raised his fists again: "My fellow villagers, ten or five, plus the reward for killing the enemy, it depends on these five days whether your family can live a happy life."
"Can you retreat in five days?" asked one person.
"Don't you believe in Taibao? Also, if you don't refuse the enemy, you will die. Why don't you refuse the enemy in exchange for wealth and honor!"
Finally, all the civilians were moved and went to get weapons one by one.
More than 100,000 Xixia soldiers were rushing towards Pingxia City, and the civil servants were organizing the civil servants in Pingxia City. They could not let them fight blindly, and they had to form a team. As for the team, they would be exempted. Instead, there were 100 people, 500 people, and 5 battalions and 5 battalions and 1 general. Guo Cheng arranged each soldier as the generals of each civil servants and instructed the capital leader. The actual candidates had been arranged long ago, but they did not tell each civil servants to avoid panic.
The city finally weaved all the capitals and battalions, and the Western Xia army officially arrived.
Guo Cheng did not go out of the city to fight.
If there are too many enemies, you will most likely end up with Qu Zhen in Yongle City when you leave the city, which will shake morale.
But the Xixia people did not attack the city because it was approaching dusk and they had to set up camps.
I couldn't sleep all night and it was dawn again.
The courageous man said, "A night passed."
It has to be calculated that five days refer to five days and five nights, and one tenth of the time has passed.
The people of Xixia were dispatched and they launched many tiger cannons. Some of the slightly experienced civilians couldn't help but ask strangely: "Isn't this a weapon of our Song Dynasty?"
Another civilian man said: "The year before yesterday, the three armies were defeated and were defeated by the Xixia people."
Guo Zhi immediately ordered that the people could not help but worry that they could just lie behind the city wall. There was no gunpowder bag in Xixia, and even if they were captured, they would mostly be soaked in the water of the Yellow River and could not be used. Therefore, although there were tiger cannons, they were only stone bombs, and it was easy to find stone bombs. Not far away were Chongshan ridges, but the stone bombs were thrown in an arc, so they could not harm the people hiding behind the city wall.
After hearing the order, the civilians and soldiers came to the bottom of the city wall together. There were also some timid people, their bodies trembling constantly.
This is an army of more than 100,000, and it is so powerful that it almost reaches the sky.
Especially these civilians, how can they not be afraid?
Guo Chengze looked at the three young generals, Jia Yan, Liu Fa, and Wang Min. Jia Yan and Liu Fa were recommended by Wang Ju, and Wang Min was discovered by Zhang Shi, but the three young generals looked very excited and did not look scared at all. Guo Cheng nodded secretly, which was still very good.
He said: "It seems that Xixia will use a large number of armor captured from our dynasty in this battle."
"That's right, I'll take them all in this battle." Liu Fa said with his fists tightened.
Chapter completed!
