After the Ping Japanese Army and the Ping Japanese Army determined the direction of attack and made an agreement to start the attack together at Tatsuki, both sides quickly started preparations.
The Ping Japanese army arrived early, and all kinds of siege equipment had been prepared.
As for the Japanese army, as a veteran force in the Song Dynasty's Forbidden Army, they naturally had no shortage of various siege equipment.
During the previous sweeps of other prefectures and counties in Bian'an County, a large number of siege equipment had been built.
Now when assembled together, they are no less than those of the Ping Japanese Army.
They each divided the siege direction and made a bet happily.
But the Zhao family, who had been conquered by their bet, was extremely agitated at the moment.
"Master of the family! Master of the family! Oh no! Another army of tens of thousands of people has arrived outside the city, and its flag is that the Forbidden Army has come to support the Japanese army!
Now the Japanese troops have blocked the main west gate and the main south gate, and are in an attack posture! "
"Again!"
Zhao Ansheng, who was originally upset because he was besieged by the Japanese army, almost collapsed on the spot when he heard that another army had arrived, and it was the strongest Japanese army in the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army!
What configuration! If he beat him, he would even praise the Japanese army. At this time, there are at least 70,000 to 80,000 troops outside the city!
They only had five thousand defenders in the city. It turned out to be okay. The Ping Japanese army used cavalry to patrol the other three gates and refused to let anyone out.
They don't need to allocate too many troops to defend the city there, they just need to concentrate most of their troops at the due north gate.
But now that the Japanese army has arrived, they have also launched an siege posture at the main south gate and the main west gate. This means that in addition to the main north gate, they now have to allocate troops to defend the main south gate and the west gate.
Otherwise, even if they can block the Japanese troops at the north gate, if the Japanese troops at the south gate and west gate attack, the Zhao family will still be in trouble.
What should I do?
Patrolling back and forth in the city with his hands behind his back, Zhao Ansheng immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Since the court won't let me use the goods of the Zhao family, then don't blame me, the Zhao family, for being ruthless!
Zhao Yi! "
"Master, the young one is here!"
Butler Zhao Yi quickly stood up.
"Order to mobilize all the men with families in the city to go to the city wall to defend the city, and bring all their families to the Zhao family for guarding. If anyone is not careful to defend the city, or is unwilling to defend the city, his whole family will be killed!"
As soon as Zhao Ansheng said these words, the Zhao family members in the hall were shocked. An elder immediately stood up and said:
"Master, is this bad?
In addition to ordinary people in Heyue City, most of them are loyal to my Zhao family. If we do this, we will undoubtedly lose the support of the people.
The prestige accumulated by my Zhao family in Heyue City in the past will be wiped out in one fell swoop! "
Others also stood up to oppose being members of the aristocratic family. They knew that the biggest card they had as a family was their reputation among the people. As long as the reputation was still there, even if the Zhao family fell temporarily, future generations could use it. Reputation revived.
This is the foundation for the continuation of the family.
If we really follow Zhao Ansheng's approach, not only the Zhao family in Heyue City will lose the popularity of the people, but also throughout the Song Dynasty, the Heyue Zhao family will also completely lose their popularity. If they fail this time, The actions of the Zhao family have no intention of bringing great disaster to future generations, let alone their ability to rise again in the future.
When others hear that you are a member of the Heyue Zhao family, they will probably just avoid you with a look of disgust. You will be discriminated against in whatever you do. From now on, the Zhao family may really be completely in decline!
"Just do what An Sheng said, do you think the royal family will give us another chance to revive the Zhao family this time?
I am sure that if the royal family really breaks into Heyue City this time, they will definitely wipe out the Zhao family.
Our Zhao family's mobilization order has been circulated for a long time, but there has been no response yet. Although the Japanese troops outside have surrounded the city, there is always a way to send information in as long as there is a will.
Now there is no movement at all. There is only one possibility, that is, the royal family has cleaned up all the branches of my Zhao family in Bian'an. They have been overwhelmed or have been wiped out! "
Just when everyone in the Zhao family was objecting, an old voice suddenly came from outside the hall and said the above words.
Everyone was startled and quickly looked outside the hall, and saw an old man wearing coarse linen clothes, a bamboo hat, and gray hair and beard slowly walking in from outside the hall.
While the younger members of the Zhao family were still wondering who this old man was, the older ones had their eyes widened.
Finally someone exclaimed!
"Fifth Patriarch! You are still alive!"
As soon as these words came out, not only the old man, but also everyone else all looked at the speaker.
What idiot would say such a thing?
The middle-aged man quickly shrank his neck and hid behind the crowd.
The old man withdrew his gaze and attention, and while walking into the hall, he said: "Now our Zhao family has reached the point of life and death. If we win, we will live, if we lose, we will die.
The hundreds of years of foundation of our Zhao family cannot be lost to our generation.
The little emperor has been ruthless since he came to power. Over the years, he has found opportunities to completely wipe out many aristocratic families, but he has never shown mercy.
So we can’t take any chances.
Now that we have decided to fight, we must use all our strength and do not stick to trivial matters to achieve great results.
One general's achievements will lead to thousands of bones drying up, and those who are kind-hearted and soft-hearted will not be able to accomplish anything.
Now that the royal family has forced us to this point, we don't have to worry about anything anymore and just do what An Sheng said.
It’s time for our Zhao family to give it a try! "
The Fifth Patriarch of the Zhao family had just finished speaking and had already reached the uppermost position in the hall. Zhao Ansheng had already stood up and hurriedly helped the Fifth Patriarch to sit down and give up his position.
After the Fifth Patriarch of the Zhao family slowly sat down, there was an elder in the hall who hesitated and said: "Fifth Patriarch, if this happens, our Zhao family will have no way out!"
The fifth ancestor of the Zhao family looked coldly at the person who made the sound. Although his eyes were cloudy, they were staring at the elder with a compelling force and he did not dare to raise his head to look at him.
"snort!"
The fifth ancestor of the Zhao family snorted coldly, and then said: "A way out? Our Zhao family has no way out!
If you don't do it again, the other party won't even give you the chance to do it again! "
Everyone was silent.
The fifth ancestor of the Zhao family looked around and said: "I know you still have some kind of luck in your heart, but I tell you, let go of the luck in your heart and accept the reality.
The aristocratic family and the imperial power have been in opposition from the moment they appeared. The so-called coexistence is just a ploy for interests when no one can do anything about the other.
Once one party becomes stronger, the stronger party will suppress the other party mercilessly, and there is no room for relaxation.
Now the Zhao family has only one way to go.
I'm warning you, if anyone dares to go against the family at this time, and is unwilling to follow the family's orders and make small moves in secret, I will never show any mercy.
If there is any violation, it will be like this table! "
After finishing speaking, the fifth ancestor of the Zhao family suddenly slapped his palm on the table next to him!
The white jade-like palm fell, and there was only a loud roar. The next moment, the table that was intact just now turned into ashes!
Everyone in the Zhao family in the hall trembled and did not dare to say another word.
The fifth ancestor of the Zhao family looked at Zhao Ansheng.
Zhao Ansheng understood immediately, turned to look at the crowd and said, "Who agrees with my proposal just now?"
After everyone in the Zhao family who had been in opposition just now was silent for a while, someone suddenly spoke up.
"Sanfang agrees!"
This was like a brick to attract others, and others immediately followed.
"Fifang agrees!"
"Wufang agrees!"
"The second room also agrees!"
"Liufang agrees!"
…
In an instant, the objections just now disappeared without a trace.
Look at the harmony in the family.
The fifth ancestor of the Zhao family nodded with satisfaction.
Everything thrives when a family is harmonious. As long as the family unites and cooperates, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
When the Zhao family was founded, many difficulties were overcome step by step by watching the unity of the family and became the current Zhao family.
He did not allow or allow the Zhao family to have infighting like other families.
That kind of Zhao family is not the same as the Zhao family!
"An Sheng, go down and get ready. We, the Zhao family, are fighting with the imperial court!"
"My grandson knows, please rest assured, Fifth Patriarch, our Zhao family will fight to the death!"
"Okay! This is the good son of my Zhao family! The qualified patriarch of my Zhao family!"
The fifth ancestor of the Zhao family immediately laughed heartily.
