Chapter 105: Why die for the country

[Today's red tickets are a little short... so sad, can I ask for a ticket? 】

Ji County.

On the tenth day of the siege, the reinforcements were still dragging in unknown places.The siege of Ji County has become more and more cruel to face the rebels, and Xiao He stands on the top of the city gate.As far as the eye can see, there are tens of thousands of enemy troops in front, and there is no reinforcement behind.This huge gap made Xiao He a little unacceptable for a while, exhaling a foul breath, Xiao He swept away these emotions.The calm posture on the face still made the generals beside Xiao He feel a little more at ease.

Xiao He is not good at war, and he doesn't have much talent in war.In terms of commanding operations, Xiao He did not have Qing Ni Gaoming who commanded two thousand generals.However, Xiao He has a greater effect on Ji County than the rigorous and unwavering military Marquis Qingni.

Qing Ni is in charge of the defense of the city. As the commander in chief, Qing Ni is good at fighting in the field, but he is not weak in the defense of the farming nation's strengths.The people of Qin put more emphasis on offense than defense, but Qing Ni tends to develop in an all-round way.The means to defend the city are extraordinary.Therefore, Ji County is not majestic, and it can even be said that it can survive on the dilapidated city wall and still stick to it until now. Qing Ni's contribution is indispensable.

Xiao He is not weaker than Qing Ni, as the highest official in Ji County.Xiao He's appearance on the city wall every day will make the soldiers' will to defend the city more firm.Xiao He is good at internal affairs, which is a great boon for Ji County, which is currently short of supplies.The implementation and smoothness of government affairs will result in the continuous transportation of defense equipment, arrows, flying stones, swords, guns, swords and halberds to the city wall every day.It is also Xiao He's internal affairs ability that makes the resistance will of the defenders of Ji County continue to this day.

Except for a mere [-] frontier soldiers, the rest of the local defenders did not have a strong will to fight.Troops that have not experienced battles are very prone to fear of fighting when faced with high-intensity and brutal city defense battles.Xiao He appeased the army, maintained the logistics work in Ji County, and even forcibly demolished the houses on the edge of the city to provide soldiers with a limited supply of firewood for heating.It was Xiao He who made the officials stick to their posts, the order in the city was stable, and the defenders had the confidence of victory in their hearts.

If it weren't for Xiao He's outstanding talent in internal affairs, it would be impossible for the materials in Yiji County to last until today.

But right now Xiao He, who is regarded as the Great Wall of Ji County, feels heavy in his heart.The reinforcements from the capital of Xianyang had already felt Fengxiang five days ago, while the reinforcements from the South Road had only reached Hanzhong County.The distance between Hanzhong County and Longxi County is not far away, and it can even be said to be the closest of all reinforcements.But Xiao He didn't count on this journey, Hanzhong and Longxi were separated by mountains and mountains, even if Zhou Xiao had prepared thousands of defense equipment, weapons, money and food in Shu County, it was impossible to transport them to Ji County in a short time.As for the reinforcements on the Northeast Road, Xiao He has already received an urgent letter from Shangguan Mou. The money and food in Beidi County were used up in advance by Zhisu Neishi, and the money and food were urgently transported out of Beidi County three days ago.The reinforcements along the way can no longer be counted on. The imperial capital is struggling financially, and the homeland of the six eastern countries is about to move, in order to strengthen the pressure on the six countries.The money and food that Xianyang needs to prepare has exceeded the upper limit that Neishi himself can provide, and the prices in Gyeonggi, which have been suppressed by Shi Teng, have begun to rise sharply again.Even if Han did not make such a decision to attack Fusu, Xianyang might not have so much money and food for reinforcements.

Xiao He looked at the rebel enemy camp that was as heavy as a mountain, and his face seemed to be sinking.

The offensive and defensive battle has come to the present, and the will of the two parties is the competition.However, compared with the rebels, the pressure the defenders have to face is much stronger.The rebels don't need to worry much about military supplies, and they are constantly being shipped from the rear.And Yuyanggu is also a firm person, he knows very well what the consequences will be if he leaves in embarrassment in the first battle.Therefore, Yuyanggu will never give up the attack on Ji County.

And Yuyanggu condensed this fledgling army by attacking the city, and dispatched those aristocratic and private troops who disobeyed him to beat their heads and bleed for a while, so that these Longxi nobles who were about to move quickly calmed down.The Yu family controlled more than ten thousand soldiers, but these wealthy families with evil intentions watched their children fall one by one under the not-so-thick city wall of Ji County.Although these wealthy families were unwilling, and even the changes in their hearts became more intense.However, the power in their hands is constantly being consumed, but they dare not make any changes.After all, the current situation is still in favor of Yujia.Despite repeated setbacks in the early stages of the siege, the Yu family still firmly grasped the victory.

A siege battle, as long as the defenders are determined.The attacking side has to pay several times the combat power and supplies of the defenders to win the victory.Therefore, there is no shadow in Yuyang Gu's heart.It is possible to delay the siege of the city for several months.It's just that Ji County can withstand the onslaught of the Yu family's army in the past ten days, which makes Yuyang look a little ugly.If it is a dangerous city, it is normal for the siege to last for one month, two months or even several years.But a county town in Jixian County lacks supplies and the walls of the city are small, but there are [-] elite soldiers and the will to defend the city is still so firm.This temporarily cast some shadows in Yuyang Gu's heart.

However, these shadows did not last long. As the huge manpower of the rebel army began to crush the few remaining resources of the defenders step by step, the battle progressed to a degree that was beneficial to the Yu family.The Yu family can mobilize a huge army of [-] troops from Wuling for half a year. In this half year, the Yu family only needs to break through Fengxiang and enter the internal history.The situation of the whole world will change, and at that time, the Yu family will gain a considerable initiative in strategy.

Yuyanggu looked at the city wall of the south gate of Jixian County with a cold old face, and a sneer appeared on his wrinkled face.After attacking the city with non-directed troops for so many days, I don't know if the defenders really underestimated their own methods!Instead, ask the defenders to see how well the Yu family's elite attack the city.Don't think that everyone is as useless as those side bastards!There was a cold light in Yuyanggu's eyes, and his withered fingers turned white.

The siege is still going on, and the time has progressed to No. 11 days.The rhythm of the siege was still the same as it had been for the past ten days. The offensive and defensive stalemate was over the siege of the rebel ants. Countless soldiers climbed up the not-so-high city wall of Ji County with ladders like endless ants.Arrow Rain and Catapult also kept greeting each other.It wasn't because the Yu family was stupid and only had these few tricks back and forth, but it was because the defenders were very experienced in defending the city.Although members of the Yu family continued to offer advice, they were seen through by the city defenders one by one.The rebels used tunnels to attack the city, but the defenders used large tanks to store water and monitored the four gates day and night.The rebels wanted to use a boxcar to dig through the city wall, but found that it was difficult to shake the foundation of the city wall despite the heavy casualties.The city wall of Jixian County was originally set up by Qin Ting to guard against the barbarians in the west. The foundation is solid, although the city is small, it is also solid.

And although the small city can't hide more soldiers, it also has many advantages.The city wall is only so big, there are not many soldiers who can attack the city, and it is not too difficult for the defenders to deal with it.Even if the boxcar rushes over to dig the foundation of the city wall, the fire attack can be quickly mobilized on the city wall, splashing fire oil to burn.For a while, every time the people who pushed the city would return with fire, in the end, no one dared to go.

The rest of the siege hammers hammered the city gates, shouted and cursed to induce the defenders to attack, surrender and so on.This is the only way to get these out repeatedly, and slowly erode the will and strength of the defenders to defend the city.

Just like the previous ten days, the same method was used continuously until the sun was high in the sky at noon.

Just when the city defenders thought that the Yu family had such means and nothing new, the rhythm of the attack in the afternoon accelerated in vain.The city gates around the city were frequently in emergency, and even the east gate, which had been used as a siege and a strike against the defenders, had not attacked much, and there were a lot of enemy troops.

The vain and violent rhythm of the siege made the defenders feel a little uncomfortable for a while.But there is no time for them to be puzzled at this time of year.The attacking Yu family rebel generals had already appeared in sight.It's just that this time it's several times bigger than before.

Yu Qi thought silently of the beloved girl from the Qi family next door, and thought that if he could survive this time by chance, he must take Mr. Xiao's bounty to propose a marriage!Thinking this way in his heart, the Qin Ji in Yu Qi's hands cooperated with the rest of the civilians who were also conscripted and waved it at the six grinning Yu family rebels who climbed up the city wall!

"Kill!"

Scenes of constantly falling lives are unfolding under the vision of heaven.

A loud noise came from the city wall of the south gate, which made the hearts of the defenders sink even more.The city wall collapsed under the catapult bombardment of the rebels day and night!

Xiao He, who was on the gate tower, came down quickly. Standing on the high place of the gate tower, Xiao He stood there to strengthen the soldiers' determination to defend the city, and expressed Xiao He's willingness to live and die with Ji County, rather than talking about it with a red mouth and white teeth. never mind.But now at this time, Xiao He has no effect on the city wall.

Once the city wall is breached, the pressure on the defense of the entire south gate will suddenly increase.Without the protection of the city wall, the influx of a large number of troops will drag the defenders into brutal close combat, hand-to-hand combat!There are no more than 4000 elite soldiers in the city, and no more than [-] regular troops.It is simply impossible to fight this cruel melee combat!

Xiao He quickly ran down the city, but turned around and ran into the city.Of course this was not done for the purpose of escaping, Xiao He said sharply to the dozen or so guards around him: "You all support the south gate, and ask Qing Ni Junhou to hold on for an hour, and I will organize the civilians and rush to repair the city wall!"

More than a dozen guards bowed in unison, towards Xiao He, and left generously, without complaint.As soldiers under Fusu's command, these people will be loyal to their mission since they are well paid.

More than a dozen guards sang Qin opera in the same robe with Zi, and gathered many reserve soldiers who came to rescue them along the way.These brave and experienced soldiers who followed Xiao He knew that Ji County has been dragged into a fork in the road of fate!

When Xiao He's guards gathered more than a hundred people to reinforce the south gate, Qing Ni's 200-man guards had already entered the battle.The most important duty of the chief general's guard team is not to fight the enemy but to protect the chief general. Right now, even the chief general's guards have to go into battle. One can imagine the situation at the south gate.

The leading guard was originally a descendant of Xiao He's family, named Xiao Xi.Xiao He held the sharp sword tightly in his hand, looked around at everyone, and shouted angrily: "If the city breaks down, you will die. Today, I want to die, and I want to save my life for the people of Ji County! All of you, do you dare to go to the death with me?"

Several guards and local soldiers who dared to come to the rescue were infected by Xiao Xi's expression, and immediately shouted in unison: "
