MTL - Vicious Male Partner is a Girl-Chapter 105 go to war
The people in Wubing Shangshu's yamen actually knew in their hearts that at this point, there are only two ways to go, go or stay. If you go, you will be worried; if you stay, you will be worried. They are hesitant and indecisive.
Now hearing Shen Fengzhang's categorical message, even though it was quite dangerous to stay, they were all relieved.
"Master Shen, how should we arrange the defense of the city?" Everyone looked at Shen Fengzhang, completely regarding her as their backbone.
As Shen Fengzhang strode forward, he quickly recalled the performance of these people in the past, and at the same time called out a few names, "Yang Tingrong, Sun Xiuchao."
"The officer is here!"
"The two of you are in charge of the military supplies and food dispatch for the defense of the city! The daily ration of each soldier has been changed from six taels to ten taels."
Before Yang Tingrong and Sun Xiuchao accepted the order, Shen Fengzhang had already started to name someone.
"Touch."
"The officer is here!"
"Responsible for inspecting the city wall, if there is any damage, recruit artisans in the city, use stone materials, and repair it within three days!"
Similarly, before Tao Qi could answer yes, he heard Shen Fengzhang start giving new orders.
A series of instructions were issued from Shen Fengzhang's mouth in an orderly manner, and the Wubing Shangshu Yamen, which was like a mess of sand, instantly started to run again like a wind-up machine.
In the Yamen of Wubing Shangshu, the officials coming and going are all in a hurry, and each has their own tasks to do.
After arranging most of the things to be done in this battle of defending the city in one breath, Shen Fengzhang looked at his subordinates in a hurry, and the anxiety in his heart eased a little.
In the upcoming battle of Jiankang, there are two biggest disadvantages on their side. One is that there are few troops; the other is that time is tight.
To increase their odds of winning, they must prepare for the battle before Yu Wentao attacks in the shortest possible time.
As for the lack of troops...
Shen Fengzhang took a deep breath, looked away, and looked at the only two officials who were not assigned tasks.
"My lord, I haven't been an official yet..." One of the middle-aged men with protruding ears observed Shen Fengzhang's gaze, and hurriedly spoke cautiously.
"Wan Yanzhi." Shen Fengzhang looked at Wan Yanzhi, his eyes were dark and deep, and his voice was extraordinarily deep.
Seeing this, Wan Yanzhi, who had not been assigned a task before and felt uneasy, swallowed involuntarily, feeling more and more nervous.
"Your task is to lead people to Wuling County to order General Lu, and quickly lead the troops to rescue!"
Wan Yanzhi's expression turned serious as the weight of weight fell on his shoulders suddenly, his Adam's apple rolled heavily, he looked at Shen Fengzhang, and said yes firmly!
"The next official will live up to the great trust of your lord!"
Sending Wan Yanzhi away, Shen Fengzhang looked at the other person left behind. Da Zhou had three troops stationed outside, apart from the North Army on the Huai River and the Pingxi Army in Wuling County, the last one was the Annan Army in Yi'an County, which was the army led by Shen Jun.
After issuing the order to request reinforcements from the Annan Army, Shen Fengzhang sat back at the desk and began to prepare a detailed plan for defending the city.
Right now, Yu Wentao is stationed on the opposite bank with hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command. It seems that there is a river across the river, and it seems that he will cross the river to attack Jiankang soon. But Shen Fengzhang estimated that they would be ten days away at the earliest.
In this era, most of the city walls were about five or six meters high, and the shorter ones were even only two or three meters high, which could be easily climbed up with a personal ladder. And most of them are not stone walls, just rammed earth walls.
However, Jiankang, as the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was far superior to other cities in terms of the height of the city wall and the firmness of the city wall. The nearly fifteen-meter-high city wall and solid stone bricks all added to the difficulty of attacking the city.
If Yu Wentao wants to attack the city, he must prepare various siege tools. They were traveling too fast before, and I am afraid that these siege tools were not prepared.
Shen Fengzhang was right.
On the other side of the river, Yu Wentao walked out of the camp and climbed to a high place. He looked at the opposite bank, and the outlines and shadows of the buildings on the other bank were vaguely visible between the water and the sky.
After staring at the opposite bank for a while, Yu Wentao let out a deep breath, and let out a long roar towards the vast river and the vast sky. After the long roar, he took another strong breath of the cold Jiangfeng.
"The wind in this big week is much wetter than the wind in our north."
Seeing this, the subordinates following Yu Wentao smiled and said, "Yes, Jiangnan Jiangnan, even the wind in the Great Zhou Dynasty has Jiangnan characteristics."
Yu Wentao turned around, with complacency and anxiety on his rough face. He smiled slightly, as if sighing, "Where did I think before that one day I would have to slow down because I was moving too fast and the ordnance couldn't keep up."
"Seeing that Jiankang is on the other side, but you can only see that you can't occupy it, this feeling is really anxious."
"My lord, don't worry, the wooden ladder will arrive tomorrow, and the battering ram is already on its way."
Yu Wentao nodded, turned around and looked at the opposite bank again, squinting greedily at the shadowy silhouette on the opposite bank, his ambition was high.
Under Yu Wentao's growing ambition and pressure, on the seventh day, all the siege tools were ready!
…
On the first day when the Solu people were stationed on the other side of the river, the people in Jiankang City panicked, fearing that the rumored Solu barbarians would break into the city in the next second. They packed up their things and planned to flee immediately.
However, waiting and waiting, the people of Jiankang discovered that the Socapists were only stationed on the opposite bank to train troops, and there seemed to be no sign of coming to fight. By the seventh day, Jiankang City had regained its prosperity, and the small vendors on the streets had set up their stalls again.
None of these people who had returned to their lives thought that the Suolu people who had lived peacefully for a long time would suddenly attack Jiankang.
"Calling!" "Calling!"
"What's going on? What happened? What are you running for?!" A small vendor who was hawking along the street hastily stopped pedestrians running from a distance.
Pedestrians who were in a hurry to escape pushed away the merchants and ran forward in a hurry, "Don't sell it! The Zoroasts are attacking the city!"
The merchant who almost fell to the ground had no time to get angry when he heard such a sentence. Immediately, he didn't even want his own stall, and ran to the distance with his legs free.
Unlike the common people who were paralyzed by the Solu, Shen Fengzhang and others were always on guard against the attack from the other side. In order to hurry up, many people are working day and night. As the commander in chief of this battle of Jiankang, Shen Fengzhang didn't even get a good night's sleep for three days.
Those officials who had complained to Shen Fengzhang because of their heavy tasks before, when they saw the soldiers of Solu who swarmed like a swarm of ants, suddenly realized that it was thanks to Shen Fengzhang's desperate urging.
It was precisely because of Master Shen's urging that they were able to make preparations to meet the enemy just before the Sorlus attacked the city!
The soldiers arranged in front of the nine city gates ran towards the Wubing Shangshu Yamen in turn, and reported the situation of the Sorlus attack on the opposite bank to the generals as quickly as possible.
In the Yamen of Wubing Shangshu, the young man in the bright armor with shining eyes, with endless coercion, glanced at the generals present, "All generals obey orders!"
"The end is here!"
"Jiankang Nine Gates, assign generals to guard, if anyone is lost, behead!"
All the generals took the order together, and the voice shook the world, "The last general takes the order!"
Among the nine city gates in Jiankang, the Xuanyang Gate, which was facing the Suolu army, returned to Shen Fengzhang.
The common people living near Xuanyangmen, who were in a panic and were hurrying to pack their things, suddenly heard a sound, rolling towards them like thunder.
They involuntarily put down the things at hand and ran to the street to have a look.
On the street, a group of people solemnly and uniformly walked towards Xuanyang Gate from a distance. The young general walking in the front was dressed in silver armor, reflecting the dazzling light in the winter sun. Looking at the team that came, the panicked hearts of the people suddenly calmed down inexplicably.
The elite soldiers scattered along the Xuanyang Gate, each finding their own position.
Shen Fengzhang, who led people up to the tower, looked at the dust rising in the distance and the figures in the dust with serious eyes. Looking back, she spoke coldly and loudly.
"Once the war starts, you must die or retreat!"
"Those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"
"Flip the battle, surrender, behead!"
On the city wall, banners fluttered, and murderous slashes blew into everyone's ears with the wind.
This battle of Jiankang, which determines the life and death of everyone, has officially kicked off!
