Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

But under the current situation, it should be useful.

……

……

The people in Gaoyang City didn't even know about the fierce battle in the woods.This is a small city with a radius of more than three miles, which is about the size of an ordinary acropolis, and much smaller than some large county towns.

After all, Gaoyang is in the south of the Jifu area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, and it is far away from important military towns like Jiubian, and it is not close to important strategic points like Fengyang, Jiujiang and Huai'an, so it is not surprising that the city is low and narrow. [

Of course, such a small town would not have any important military towns stationed here, and it would be impossible to put heavy troops here... Even if there is a former scholar like Sun Chengzong in the city, it is absolutely impossible.

On this day, a warning message came from the north and west of Gaoyang City, saying that there was a small group of Tatar reconnaissance cavalry. out of place.

All kinds of news made the people in the city very disturbed. Since the entry of the Tartar army, every city that was broken was massacred.

More than a dozen prefectures and counties in Zhending have been breached. There are three to four million people in many cities, and hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands of people in the few. After these cities were breached, almost all of them were killed except a few lucky ones Empty.

Cities, towns, villages, everywhere is a piece of scorched earth.

These news were brought by people who fled from the south, and it also made the people in Gaoyang City panic. There were many low-pitched weeping sounds from their homes.

A small number of people fled. They had chariots and horses, and they dared to flee. Some people fled towards Shandong, and most of them fled to Baoding Fucheng.There are governors and governors there, a large number of soldiers and horses, and tall and deep walls, so they can keep their wealth and lives.

Most of the people who stayed in the city were ordinary people without money and the ability to analyze the current situation. When the rich people in the city fled to the big city, many people from the surrounding towns flocked into Gaoyang City ...After all, compared with the countryside, the county town still has a city wall that can give people the illusion of protection.

Moreover, there is a backbone figure in Gaoyang City. My home is in Gaoyang City, and many people think that this city is still hopeful, so in the past few days, despite the bad news, the vanguard of the Qing army has appeared. The people went to the city to escape.

On the city wall, the original defender's flag was still planted, but the people standing or sitting on it, guarding the city, hardly saw a serious soldier.

Everyone was wearing ordinary people's clothes. In the cold weather, many people were wearing single clothes.

There were few weapons in their hands. Occasionally, they could see some single knives and long spears. They were all the most inferior goods in the Ming army camp. Be unarmed.

Everyone was haggard and ugly, shivering in the cold wind. People looked at the sky to the north and west anxiously, lest they see signs of Tatar soldiers invading the territory.

These less than 1000 people are armed like refugees. They are the village braves raised by Sun Chengzong donating the family's property, buying a small amount of knives and guns, and distributing food and salaries.

This city is defended by them.
