You know, according to that person's words, this is just the beginning.
There is still support from the rear that has not yet arrived.
This also means that the army attacking Qinghe City in a short period of time will reach an extremely terrifying number.
You must know that 50,000 people is already a lot, not to mention that there are still more to come.
No one knows how many reinforcements will come next.
Liu Qiang wanted to inquire, but he had no place to inquire at the moment. Just from the food and grass delivered to this camp, it can be seen that the amount is definitely quite large.
As for the news he heard from the capital, Liu Qiang now thinks it is inaccurate.
Not in terms of the total number, but in terms of the number of people who went to Qinghe City this time.
The news learned in the capital at that time was that there were 100,000 troops going south.
The worst-case scenario is that Qinghe Prefecture is surrounded by a hundred thousand troops.
As a result, even if they defend the city, they may not be able to defend it for long.
Of course, judging from the current situation of an army of 50,000, it is already very difficult.
What Liu Qiang didn't know was that General Zeng, who was now leading the army southward, was also known as the Butcher.
In order to achieve the goal, almost any means are necessary.
Faced with the current situation.
Even if they face an army of 50,000, Qin He and the others may not be able to defend it.
Not to mention that there are 50,000 troops waiting behind.
Of course, in Liu Qiang's opinion, it is definitely not a wise choice to use all the troops to attack Qinghe City.
But he didn't know that with Zeng Butcher's character, it was really possible for him to do such a thing.
What's more, Zeng Butcher has indeed made such a choice.
Of course, what is more important at the moment is that not only did Butcher Zeng make such a decision, he also did not care about the lives of the people in the city.
This means that the situation is more complicated than Liu Qiang thought.
What Qin He and the others will face will be even more severe.
Of course, Liu Qiang didn't know these things.
For Liu Qiang today, he has no idea how serious the problem they are facing now is.
If I had known, I would probably not have continued to waste time here.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on Liu Qiang. After all, even Liu Qiang has no way to change the current situation.
In fact, although he didn't know what was going on, he also knew that if he couldn't make a decision earlier, it would definitely be more troublesome in the future.
Inside Qinghe City.
As the southward army continued to approach, the atmosphere in the city became even more depressing.
When many people learned that they would be taken back to East Qindao, they felt extremely grateful.
Even they never thought that Mr. Qin would make such a decision.
In their opinion, Master Qin should let them wait for the arrival of the enemy in this city.
But the result was beyond their expectations.
In just two days, half of the people left Qinghe City.
You know, this speed is already very fast.
After all, today's ships are limited, and many people in the city have to carry items with them when leaving.
No one has any complaints about this speed.
There was no scramble to leave.
At this point, Qin He was quite surprised.
After all, it is not easy for these ordinary letters to do this in the face of life and death.
However, the time left for them was no longer enough. They were able to evacuate half of the people in the city in two days, which was beyond their expectations.
When the morning of the third day came, everything changed.
Even if the people in the city wanted to leave, they had no choice.
Because now, outside Qinghe City, it has been surrounded by the army descending from the south.
Not to mention people going out, even if a bird tries to fly out, it will probably be shot to death by random arrows.
Of course, even so, the people in the city did not have any complaints.
Because they all know that Mr. Qin has done enough, and they have no ability to blame Mr. Qin for this matter.
In fact, there are only a few people who really want to leave but never leave.
Most of the people who changed their surnames and stayed in Qinghe City now wanted to protect their homes with the militia in the city.
Even though they knew it would be dangerous to stay in the city now, they still chose to stay in the end.
What they can do now is help the militiamen in the city transport supplies and do what they can.
Of course, there are also some burly men who want to join the militia at this time.
However, all such requests were rejected by Qin He.
It's not that he doesn't want to increase the number of troops at this time, but he knows that even if the number of troops is increased in this city, it will have no effect.
Because all the people in Qinghe City are now soldiers, as for whether the name is important, it seems to be insignificant in the eyes.
Of course Qin He also knows that the people in the city are very concerned about such a title.
But he didn't want the people in the city to have to choose to die with them because of such a title.
Of course this is also the worst case scenario.
And the other side.
Outside Qinghe City.
Facing the closed gates of Qinghe City, the southward army outside the city saw nothing more than a fight between trapped beasts, and they would all be captured sooner or later.
In a tent outside the city.
The Butcher Zeng mentioned by Bi Hanlin was looking at the map of Qinghe City with an indifferent expression on his face.
In fact, for him, he did not expect things to go so smoothly at first.
To be more precise, the current plan had been in place since before they arrived in the Misty Rain Province.
The prerequisite for this plan to be realized from beginning to end is that people within Qinghe City serve as internal agents.
If not, they would not have been able to cross the line of sight directly and reach the hinterland of Qinghe City so easily.
Of course, the traitor Qin He and the others are most concerned about is still in Qinghe City.
It's just that Qin He and the others haven't found it yet.
But for Zeng Butcher, he naturally knew this person and gave him the due promise.
As long as Qinghe City can be captured, Qinghe City will be managed by him in the future.
And this person was none other than one of the people around Qin He.
"General, when will we launch a general attack?"
A soldier standing next to Zheng Hai asked.
When he heard this, Zeng Hai's originally indifferent face showed a playful expression.
Then he spoke.
"This matter is not urgent for now. Have you forgotten how that boy named Qin captured Nanyang City?"
When he heard his general say these words, the soldier's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Because he naturally knew how Qin He and the others captured Nanyang City.
