Chapter 896 Shen Jianwan cleverly defends the city

Others didn't know that Shen Jianwan knew Xiao Qi's true identity, and she couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw that he refused to leave.

So she very clearly analyzed with them the possible situations they would face if they stayed.

However, she had already made the situation very dangerous, but still failed to convince them to leave.

Xiao Qi's last words directly gave up Shen Jianwan's idea of ​​persuasion.

He said that he was no more noble than the soldiers and civilians in the city. Since they could all stay and defend the city, and Shen Jianwan herself could stay and defend the city, why couldn't he stay.

Knowing that Xiaoqi and Shitou were very determined to stay, Shen Jianwan was moved and worried but could not help but become more determined to defend the city.

Since everyone decided to stay and defend the city, Shen Jianwan began to lead everyone to strictly carry out the defense work in the city.

According to Shen Jianwan's plan, their current layout in the city mainly includes the following points.

First of all, they had to change all the previous defense structures, because the information must have been leaked, and they had to redesign it.

In addition, Shen Jianwan asked them to gather all the officials, gentry, dignitaries, big and small, in the city to the city lord's palace.

Firstly, it is to protect them, and secondly, the most important thing is to prevent these people from temporarily rebelling, and to prevent anyone from wanting to take risks and use this war to cooperate with the enemy internally and externally to betray the country and seek glory.

Because the enemy is approaching the city, these people are often the most likely to rebel, so they need to control them in advance.

Then Shen Jianwan asked them to focus on protecting the city's water sources and food to prevent the enemy from sending spies in to poison and burn the food.

Shen Jianwan also asked the common people to take turns to form patrol teams to prevent enemy spies from sneaking into the city.

Because what defenders fear most are spies and traitors, once the above two types can be eliminated, the security of the city can be greatly improved.

After some actions, Shen Jianwan and the others arranged all the defense arrangements they could think of.

In addition, Shen Jianwan was also pleasantly surprised to find that Beijiang City was used as a backup supply for the front line. Although it was insufficient in terms of military strength, it was still quite rich in combat readiness materials.

So after demonstrating the situation they would face when the enemy attacked the city, Shen Jianwan asked Wu Yong and others to gather all the skilled craftsmen in the city to improve and increase the trebuchets in the city according to her design drawings and the principle of leverage.

When the enemy invades, their powerful city defense weapon, the trebuchet, is a very important part. As long as the trebuchet is powerful, I believe it will definitely increase the difficulty of the enemy's siege. And this is what they are best prepared for at the moment.

While making the trebuchet, Shen Jianwan asked the people in the city to collect all the stones in the city for later use in the trebuchet. So in just one night, Beijiang City quickly entered a state of orderly combat readiness under the leadership of Shen Jianwan. Everyone in the city was busy contributing their own efforts to defend the city.

The soldiers and civilians in the city knew that they would be defeated if they failed in this battle, so everyone was united as never before and cooperated extremely actively with Shen Jianwan's defense work.

Seeing how the city was defended in such an orderly manner, especially when Shen Jianwan had people improve the trebuchet, Yu Baicheng, the soldiers and the people in the city couldn't help but have some confidence in the subsequent defense of the city.

Even the most cowardly Wu Yong, seeing Shen Jianwan's outstanding military ability, couldn't help but have some confidence in defending the city. After thinking about it for a night, he gradually became determined to follow the county leader to defend the city. Beijiang City is determined to atone for its sins.

The next day, the coalition forces outside the city were surprised to see that the Northern Xinjiang City was so heavily guarded and orderly overnight. Doesn't it mean that there are no capable defenders in Beijiang City now? What's going on? It doesn't look like there are no capable people to command from this situation.

According to their thinking, the people in Beijiang City should be extremely panicked when they knew that their 80,000 troops were approaching the city. Even if they didn't open the city gate immediately and surrender, they would still be in a mess. However, none of these situations have occurred so far. It was really beyond their expectations.

However, these surprises did not affect their siege. After a night of rest, the coalition forces began siege operations early in the morning and began to build watchtowers, arrow towers, catapults, etc. for siege.

However, just as they began these siege operations, several teams of troops came out of the city and raided them.

Just when they were preparing to have a good fight with each other, these troops quickly returned to the city listening to the sound of drums.

After discovering this situation several times, the coalition forces came to their senses and realized that the other side was not here to attack them, but to interrupt, destroy, and disrupt their war operations.

Time and time again, the opponent did not confront them head-on. They always chose places where they had few people and easy destruction of war projects. They also came and went very quickly. Once they succeeded, they would not hesitate to fight and immediately withdraw their troops.

But after knowing about them, there was nothing they could do to prevent the other party from playing this trick with them. The person in command in the city was an expert. He seemed to have accurately deduced the number of people they would defend next time, and based on their numbers every time. The situation adjusts the number of troops to destroy their war operations.

What's even more irritating is that the opponent is extremely cunning. He always beats the war drum to the east and strikes in the west, combining the false and the real. Sometimes he beats the drum to mean attacking from the north gate but comes out from the east gate. Sometimes he beats the drum to mean coming out from the east gate but comes out from the west gate. Sometimes drums were played to indicate coming out from the north gate. After being deceived many times, they were no longer prepared for this, and they actually came out here!

Later, he would sometimes beat the drums to indicate that he was going to attack, and they were fully prepared, but the opponent didn't come out for a long time, but sometimes he would go out of the city to sneak attack them without beating the drums!

Later, their generals learned about the other party's tricks and began to use them in different ways, but there were countless possibilities every time, which was enough to give them a headache.

In addition, the opponent's troops are very thief-challenged. If their war projects are damaged, they cannot be restored and can only be destroyed by redoing the parts. What they also pick is often the most critical link.

Even the next time, the other party directly kidnapped the craftsman who was directing the official work, and arrested five or six of them at once, which greatly delayed their war work.

No, due to the opponent's series of tricks, their war work was greatly delayed. Not to mention the fact that half of them failed to complete the plan in the whole day, their troops were also confused and exhausted by the opponent. Several of their The general has been scolding his mother in the camp.

While the coalition forces were complaining endlessly and the war effort was greatly delayed, the soldiers and civilians in Northern Xinjiang City admired the ability of the county leader Shen Jianwan.
