Chapter 108: Light Rain (15)

"Now there are wolves outside and tigers inside." Qin Wan sighed, "The situation in the past few days is the most critical today. If it can be delayed until tomorrow, it will be fine."

"There are 100,000 Liao soldiers outside, but they are just wolves?" Wang Shu asked in surprise.

Qin Wan snorted coldly with disdain to the outside world, "If it weren't for the imperial camp personally led by the 100,000 emperors of the Liao Kingdom, they would be worse than dogs." He said proudly, "If there is no internal trouble in Tianmen Village, I can defend it for ten years."

Wang Shu sighed, "But now you have put more than 10,000 people in charge."

"Didn't you say it just now? You can't help but save it." Qin Wan made a helpless expression, "Now there are more than 10,000 more confidants in the city. If you don't solve it, I won't be able to guard it for ten days."

"Dujian, didn't you say it's okay tomorrow?" Wang Shu asked.

Qin Wan beat him up, "I have not been defending for ten days, but Liao Gou can't even attack for five days. Seeing Liao Gou's current movements, I was very anxious," he narrowed his eyes slightly, "It is probably because the Taiwei Wang, who is still as motionless as a mountain, finally moved. How many hours can he walk from Baozhou to Ansu? When Taiwei Wang passes Shiqiao Fort, Liao Gou dares to attack our Tianmen Village with all his strength?"

Wang Shu pondered Qin Wan's words and grasped the key point, "What the Dujian means is that the Beilu will fight to the death today?"

"Tonight," Qin Wan said, "It's dark and it's so dark. I'm loading a car with thousands of kilograms of gunpowder and pushing it across the river, and mixing among thousands or tens of thousands of people. How do I find it? How can I solve it if I find it? When the fire breaks out, the city wall can't be counted on."

Qin Wan gently stroked the city bricks that were hot in the sun, and his years of hard work were condensed here.

He has always been proud of becoming the iron wall of the Song Dynasty. He participated in the latest reconstruction of Tianmen Village throughout the process. He participated in every change on the drawings, and every brick was tested by him. Every cannon on every edge and corner is the source of his confidence.

But according to what he heard from Wen Jia, the new style of the basin exterior wall must be a kind of guard wall with a width of the bottom exceeding the height, so as to ensure survival under the attack of artillery and gunpowder.

The Tianmen Village, which has been renovated for only a few years, is too old. The towering city walls are no longer the source of safety, but are very obvious shortcomings.

Thinking of the Liao people putting thousands of kilograms of gunpowder at the foot of the city wall, Qin Wan had no confidence that this city wall could withstand it.

And the gunpowder in the hands of the Emperor of the Great Liao could never be only a few thousand kilograms of kilograms of kilograms of kilograms of kilograms of kilograms of kilograms of kilograms of kilograms of kilograms of kilograms of kilograms of kilograms of kilograms of kilograms of kilograms of kilograms of ki

"The city gate must be cleared out?" Wang Shu also had no confidence in whether the city wall of Tianmen Village could withstand the power of the explosion of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder.

If you want to protect the city wall, you can only fight. You must defend the sheep and horse wall, or even the moat.

If you cannot leave the city, you cannot defend the city. This is the iron rule of defending the city.

From beginning to end, the Liao people wanted to force thousands of soldiers and horses from Tianmen Village to be trapped in the city. No matter what they did outside, there were tens of thousands of people surrounding them, and they could only stare at the inside of the city.

Although there is no need to worry about the siege of tens of thousands of people, they are blocked in the city and the defenders are also unable to attack. It is too difficult to only enter and exit the west gate.

"Maintain, let's leave this matter to the officials!" Wang Shu volunteered. After getting along, he felt that he could apply for some substantive job from Qin Wan.

Qin Wan hesitated for a moment and shook her head. He could trust Wang Shu's character now, but he still did not dare to fully trust Wang Shu's ability. It was not necessarily a problem with Wang Shu's own ability. However, if he was undermined for more than a year and had never been involved in practice, whether he could handle such a job that was related to the life of the whole city really made Qin Wan worried.

Even Wen Jia, who is now in charge of the city defense, started with commanding a cannon for a cannon, but the progress was relatively fast and the trust of the officers and soldiers was also very fast.

"Wang Qi, it's not that I don't believe you yet. It's just that I have to do these things now."

Seeing Wang Shu's face filled with resentment, he smiled and eased his tone, "More than 10,000 people! Even ten thousand dogs are all a huge trouble. But... since Wang Qi, you volunteered, you will do the hard work, and I'll take charge of the army."

Wang Shu was puzzled. What is the difference between this and his request? "What do you plan to be appointed as an official?"

"Wang Qi, since you volunteered, you must have some idea." Qin Wan asked back.

"Send people to identify. Women and children who cannot pretend to be can enter the city, and elderly and weak people enter the city. In the city, there should be few people who can prove their identity and enter the city, so there should be no more left."

"How to identify?" Qin Wan asked.

What Wang Shu said was "what to do" is very simple, and the difficulty lies in "how to do it".

Without waiting for Wang Shu to answer, Qin Wan added, "Let me say first, you need to do things. I need to be distracted from outside the city, and I can only help you with the formation. The soldiers and horses in the city also need to be distracted from outside the city. Not many people can hand over to you. At most, Chen Er's command is handed over to you, and these errand runners around me will pass on a few messages to you."

Wen Jia, the commander of the city defense, was also preparing to hand over the specific practice of identifying refugees to Wang Shu, but Qin Wan on Wen Jia could be completely relieved, and Wang Shu would help check it out.

"Enough." Wang Shu said hurriedly.

I was anxious and angry just now, and I felt a dense layer of sweat on my body, and now I felt at ease.

He understood Qin Wan's meaning. He originally didn't expect Qin Wan to entrust all the major issues. Before, he was like a Bodhisattva in the temple without incense. Now he can get some things to do. Even if Qin Wan wants to take charge of the boss behind his back, he is willing to do it.

"There is no need for too many people at the ward. They are locked in the urn and released slowly."

Wang Shu is Qin Wan's deputy, similar to the relationship between the magistrate and the magistrate. Nowadays, deputy positions have the right to supervise the chief official. Usually the relationship is extremely poor, and good is also inconsistent with each other. Therefore, when an official was appointed as a magistrate, he called for a place with crabs but no magistrate.

But since Wang Shu took office, he has been doing it for Qin Wan, which makes him angry but not speak out. If he hadn't been so angry today, he wouldn't have erupted until Qin Wan left office.

However, as a deputy who has the power to supervise, Wang Shu usually calls himself a low-ranking official, and there is more sarcastic smell. Now, he calls a low-ranking official, but he feels more anxious.

"It's okay to be slow, just do it before sunset."

The sun has not reached the middle of the sky, and there are still three or four hours before the sunset. It seems that the time is still long, but in an average of 10,000 people, one hour has to be tested for 1,200 people. After subdividing it, it is to check ten people in one minute.

The city gate of the capital can pass one hundred people in a minute, but as long as everyone entering and leaving the city gate is asked for their names, they have to fold them in half and then in half. Now we have to identify the detailed work. Even if a mouse wants to come in, we can't wait to find out the third generation and report the hometown.

Qin Wan was worried and anxious, but she still didn't show it at all. Instead, she asked Wang Shu a problem without hesitation.

………………………………………

The summer sun brings waves of heat on the fields of Hebei. The hot wind rushes up the city walls and covers the city.

The moss on the city bricks is loose and yellow and dry, and the soil under the foot of the city wall is cracked like a turtle's back.

The noise of howling and neighing came from outside the city, and the roar of artillery echoed among the city walls on all sides, but the people who were surviving were silent.

The scorching sun was shrouded in heat, and there were people around me, and I had to hold my breath. After relaxing from the tension at the critical moment of life and death, many people complained and wanted to enter the city, but no one paid any attention.

It was like being locked in a prison, and soon it was so hot that it was gone, and it became weak, and it didn't even want to talk. Thousands of people were quiet, like a group of ghosts, tangible, but without sound. It seemed that they did not exist at all. If they continued, many people would die silently.

When they were drowsy, they suddenly heard someone shouting, and they still had the strength to raise their heads. They saw a soldier holding a loudspeaker and yelling, "Listen carefully to the people under the city!"

More people raised their heads and listened to the soldier repeating again, "Listen carefully to the people under the city!"

Then repeat to the third time, "Listen carefully to the people under the city."

This time, as long as you consciously raise your head,

"Dingzhou Road Chief, Tianmen Village Zhizhai Gong Qin gave orders..."

"According to the captive confession of the Tartars, some of them made secret secrets and others."

Looking at the thousands of people on the top of the city, all of them were dull and no one had the energy to care about the detailed works around them.

"Therefore, the chief supervisor has an order to search among you and others. Anyone who passes the search and confirms that it is not a detailed author can enter the city."

It was like a stone falling into the water, and a ripples appeared in the crowd, and then turned into a huge wave.

Entering the city?

Enter the city!

A huge wave of sound erupted from the silence, and then rushed towards the inner city gate.

"Quiet!!!!"

Express your attitude with a long tail sound, but what is more effective is a crisp gunshot.

"No one should be moved!" The voice in the microphone was sharp, "The one who created chaos was the detailed work of the Liao Kingdom!"

The crowd returned to calm after several consecutive repetitions accompanied by gunfire.

"Women, young children, and elderly people do not need to be searched. The rest of them must be searched before entering."

"During the search process, anyone who does not obey orders will be regarded as a meticulous act and killed. Those who incite others will also be meticulous acts, and they will not be killed. You should also carefully observe the left and right sides. If there is any abnormal movement, you can immediately arrest them. Anyone who captures a spy will be rewarded with a hundred stakes."

Several bans were mentioned in the microphone. The soldiers holding muskets on the top of the city and the sound of gunshots proved that these bans were not jokes. The reward of hundreds of yuan also made people feel the heavy weight.

No one had any extra actions for a while, but instead he paid attention to the left and right.

"Those who approach the inner door retreated a little." The city shouted again. As the people in front of the door retreated as they said, there was also movement in the inner door, and a crack was opened.

Seeing the inner door open, the people behind were excited and desperately moved forward. The city gate slammed and closed again. The inner door opened to the outside, as long as the people outside the door pushed it, it would be closed immediately.

After two or three times, reality taught them the truth that they should not be impatient.

The city gate finally opened a gap that allowed one person to enter, and behind it was the door opening leading to the inner city.

People close to the city gate get the highest priority and rush into the city gate.

"Back! Back! Let the women and children come in first, let the women and children come in first." After the caller finished speaking, he repeated the ban again and again, "Disturbating order and not obeying orders, it is regarded as a detailed act."

The three city gates were arranged in this way, and the people were released at the same time. There was also a group of people in the city, all of whom were from the army, who were guided to the schoolyard where they could rest.

Their attitudes were all very good, but what impressed the people who were released was the gunfire that rang from time to time.
