In the military tent, Jiang Hui, the Thirteenth Young Master, the Imperial Master and others were discussing ways to rescue Nan Guozhen, when the army came to report that Shen Yu had led an army to attack the city.
What now?
What should we do if Shen Yu comes to attack the city?
That ghost soldier is awesome.
Not only did everyone not expect this time, but even the Thirteenth Young Master did not expect that Shen Yu would be so impatient to attack the city. King Youzhou was captured and Yu Wenyan's life and death were unknown. Everyone was already confused. Now Shen Yu's sudden attack on the city made everyone even more panicked and didn't know what to do.
Youzhou City is the lifeblood of the Southern Kingdom. If Youzhou City is lost, then the remaining hope of the Southern Kingdom will be gone, and the Southern Kingdom will truly be destroyed.
Chen Yu's sudden attack on the city was really vicious. The city gate was still on guard. The people outside the city gate had not yet been able to evacuate. The goods and food leading to the city had not yet been collected. If they really wanted to attack the city, If a war breaks out at the gate, the people will be hurt, and the city will be in chaos.
"The more critical the situation, the less panicked it is." The Thirteenth Young Master, who had been silent all this time, finally said.
"The military advisor is right. The more critical the situation is, the more calm we must be and not be in disarray." The national advisor stood up and said.
"Then now are we going to save people or defend the city?" Elder Jin Wu asked slightly nervously.
Before Elder Jin Wu finished speaking, the Imperial Master was quite angry. He glanced at Elder Jin Wu and scolded, "We must save people and defend the city, even if it costs me my life."
Chief Jin Wu realized that he had just said the wrong thing, and quickly stood up and corrected him, "Everyone is disappointed. I apologize, Master Jin, but Jin Wu said the wrong thing just now. In fact, Jin Wu didn't mean anything else. He just asked what should we do now?" Is it to save people or protect the city?"
Before Jin Wu could finish his explanation, the Imperial Master interrupted with a sullen expression, "Uh, what else?"
The elder Fire Witch next to Elder Jin Wu also stood up and interceded for Elder Jin Wu, "Actually, Elder Jin Wu said something wrong and did not mean anything else. The Imperial Master does not need to be so angry. Besides, the Imperial Master also knows that Golden Witch The elder is stubborn and often says the wrong thing and understands the wrong meaning."
Elder Fire Witch knew that the Imperial Master was still living with guilt and self-blame for the Southern King, and his temperament often became serious and unreasonable.
The Imperial Master glared at Elder Jin Wu, and knowing that his consciousness was wrong, he let it go, shook his long sleeves fiercely, and sat back.
Ahem!
The Thirteenth Young Master stood up, patted the imperial master twice who was coughing due to excitement, and analyzed, "King Youzhou is the only remaining bloodline of the monarch of the Southern Kingdom, and he must be saved; Youzhou City is the last remaining remnant of the Southern Kingdom. The light must not be lost. But we can't rush to save people because we still don't know the enemy's situation. We are afraid that the people we try to save will die before they can be rescued. The most important thing at the moment is to defend Youzhou City and evacuate the people outside the city. People, the people outside the city will definitely suffer when the army invades. Secondly, we can also inspect the enemy's situation and come up with a perfect way to save King Youzhou."
"I obey the military advisor." The imperial advisor respectfully replied.
"Shundao, Shunyi, your two brothers will immediately lead a team of people to evacuate the people outside the city gate." The Thirteenth Young Master ordered.
With a 'yes', Shun Dao and Shun Yi accepted the order and retreated.
The Thirteenth Young Master came to Yilong and Yique and said, "Yilong, Yique, your brother and sister will lead a team of troops and be responsible for guarding sentries five miles outside the city. Remember not to fight unless it is absolutely necessary. All you need to do is observe the opponent's military situation." Use flying pigeons to inform me of the enemy's troops, the food and grass they bring, and the speed of their advance."
With a 'Yes', Yilong and Yique also took the order and retreated.
The Thirteenth Young Master came to Yushu again. Yushu suddenly stood up, clasped his fists and bowed, "Please give me the military advisor's instructions. Yushu will take care of it!"
The Thirteenth Young Master looked at Yushu with great satisfaction. He knew that Yushu's arrows were always on target, and even three arrows shot at the same time were always on target. He was awarded the title of Xiao Houyi, a fast hunter.
There is a story behind the strange title of "Quick Hunter Xiao Houyi". In fact, the title of "Quick Hunter" was granted by the common people, because in each hunting competition, Yushu gained the most and spent the least time. That 'Little Hou Yi' was honored in the Southern Kingdom at the celebration banquet after Yushu shot Mo Yu to death. Nan Guozhen saw with his own eyes the wonderful moment when Yushu used a bow to pull the black arrow and fired three arrows in unison, just like the legendary Hou Yi shooting the golden crow. Nan Guozhen named Yushu the "Quick Hunter Little Houyi".
"The arduous task of guarding the city gate really belongs to you, 'Quick Hunter Xiao Hou Yi'. Yushu listened to the order and quickly led your archers to hide at the sentry posts at the city gate. If the enemy comes to attack the city, you will Give them a thousand arrows to pierce their hearts."
With a 'Yes', Yushu also obeyed the order and retreated. Just as Yushu turned around, the Thirteenth Young Master reminded him teasingly, "Remember, don't shoot my bird!"
Yushu smiled broadly and said, "Yes."
The instructions are completed.
The Thirteenth Young Master said again, "Everyone who is left, please come to the tower with me to watch the battle!"
Jiang Hui, the Imperial Master, the Golden Witch Elder, the Fire Witch Elder, and the Thirteenth Young Master's second uncle, Master Jiang, also accompanied the Thirteenth Young Master to the tower.
When the people learned that the Xinjiang Emperor's army was about to attack the city, they were afraid that there would be chaos inside and outside the city, which would have a huge impact on the evacuation of Shundao and Shunyi.
In fact, it is not easy to evacuate the people outside the city gate within the time of two sticks of incense. There are nearly 100,000 people outside the city gate. How to evacuate these people. If we open the city gate and let all these people enter the city, I am afraid that the city will not be able to accommodate so many people. If the city is lost, this evacuation will be meaningless.
By the way, I thought of a good way to evacuate the people outside the city gate to the North Country. This place is only a river pavilion away from the North Country and half an hour away from the ferry. As long as these people are safe across the river, and Youzhou and Beiguo have always been on good terms, the people can come back after the Xinjiang Imperial Army leaves.
Along the way, he led all the people to evacuate north, and soon arrived at the river bank. A new problem arose, how to cross the bank for nearly 100,000 people. This is really a problem. A large ship can only accommodate five hundred people, and there are only twenty large ships. Twenty large ships can only transport a thousand people in one trip. How many trips will it take to transport 100,000 people? They won't be able to finish transporting them by nightfall. If the Xinjiang Imperial Army really comes to kill them, they still won't be able to escape.
I suddenly felt happy along the way!
Shunyi looked at Shundao blankly and asked, "Brother, why are you giggling?"
"Brother has thought of a good idea."
It turns out that along the way, I found a stone slab about 500 meters straight up the river. The area of the river from the other side is the narrowest. If all the large ships are chained together side by side, then the people can walk across the river, and the necessary items can be easily brought across. When the people finish crossing the river, they can lower the chains, and There is no need to worry about enemies crossing the river.
"Brother, this is really a good idea." Shunyi praised.
Shunyi knew that his brain was smarter than him, so he agreed to cross the river side by side.
Just as he was told, he ordered the soldiers to row all the big boats to the slab and line them up one by one. The people also helped to find iron chains and thick ropes, and they lined up the big boats in just a cup of tea.
When it was done, the people cheered and crossed the river safely one by one.
Shundao and Shunyi here have successfully completed the task of evacuating the people.
Troops were approaching from the Youzhou city gate. Shen Yu led 30,000 troops to attack the city. Of course, the puppet troops were the vanguard.
