Feng Miao and Feng Yu lowered their heads in shame, their red faces turning as red as hot coals, while Feng Jie's voice still echoed in their ears: "How have we Xinping people lived in the past twenty years? ? I look at the missing corner every day, can I still eat and sleep well? How can I wash away such a big insult? I, Feng Jie, am not talented. I have been waiting for an opportunity for decades. Today, it is us The best chance to clear away the shame!”
Everyone was refreshed and raised their heads to look at Feng Jie. Zhao Yi's brows were raised at first, then he frowned and shook his head: "Mr. Feng, even though we say this, after all, the enemy is stronger than us. Weak, there are tens of thousands of Qiang thieves, and we got a lot of sophisticated equipment from defeating the king's master. Even if all the big families in our city come together, there are only six or seven thousand people, and the armor and weapons in the city are only about three thousand. The city is not strong, and the food reserves are not sufficient. If we have to fight hard, we will be hitting the stone with an egg. It is not that I, Zhao, are greedy for life and afraid of death, but it is meaningless to sacrifice like this in vain."
Feng Yu's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhao, you just said you would never surrender. What do you mean by saying these words now? Did you just say it casually at the beginning and not take it seriously? "
Zhao Yi said sternly: "That's not the case. What I mean is that we can temporarily avoid the enemy's attack and pretend to submit. Once the Qiang thieves leave, we can correct the chaos and cut off the enemy's retreat. This is much better than fighting in vain."
Feng Jie looked resolute and shook his head: "This is absolutely impossible. The world is in chaos now, and many states and counties are rebelling against Qin and surrendering to thieves, or are self-reliant. Most of them have this intention, and they want to be in trouble in the future. But what the King of Heaven needs most now is not this kind of future, but loyal people who can defend their country with passion, so that everyone can see that the Qin Dynasty is not dead, and there are still loyal ministers and good generals fighting for it. The bandits may seem powerful, but they are ultimately unpopular and will be destroyed one day!"
Zhao Yi gritted his teeth: "But having said that, with such a disparity in strength, there is no chance of winning in a fight. If the righteous men from all sides see us raising troops, but they are quickly wiped out, wouldn't it shake their determination to fight? "
Feng Jie said with emotion: "The situation is not that bad. There are still more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians in the city. The servants of our major families add up to more than 5,000 people. And I, Feng, have stocked some armors and combat equipment over the years in preparation. In troubled times, there are more than 2,000 items needed. Now that the country is in crisis, together with the inventory in the treasury, a garrison of more than 4,000 people can be organized. Most of them are soldiers who have been on the battlefield and are locals to protect the family. When fighting for the country, morale will naturally be high."
"On the other hand, Yao Chang, although he has a lot of power, most of them are just a mob. The Qiang people took advantage of the situation and came to join us. Don't we still know what kind of virtue the Qiang people are? They are just some rats who steal and plunder. This is its strength. They fought hard, and ten Qiang were no match for one Han! Xinping has always been an important town in Lingbei. Over the years, how many foreign cavalry have come from Hetao, Mobei, and the Western Regions? From the Xiongnu to Xianbei to Tiefu, it can be said that They went on and on, but they never broke through our Xinping City once. This is because we have been the old Qin Dynasty since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Our bodies are filled with the blood of our ancestors who were unyielding, strong and good at fighting! Even if a hundred thousand Qiang thieves came , what do we have to fear?!”
Feng Yu was very excited when he heard this and shouted loudly: "Okay, Mr. Feng said it well!"
Feng Jie nodded, his eyes sparkling, and he continued: "Prefect Gou, you are right, this is Xinping City, and the fate of Xinping City should be decided by us Xinping people. When Huan Wen invaded, I was in charge The governor of Liaoxi is not here, so I missed the opportunity to stop everyone. This time, I have no reason to watch everyone make mistakes. If anyone thinks that they can't win if they stay, and wants to leave, or pretends to surrender, then please do it now Leave, we Xinping men are all old Qin people in Guanzhong, with hundreds of years of blood passed down, our heads can be cut off, but we will never surrender!"
Gou Fu laughed, stepped forward to help Feng Jie up, and held his hand: "Mr. Feng, with your words, I feel relieved. Mr. Xinping and his father are indeed strong-willed men. I admire you, I admire you!"
Feng Jie said sternly: "Prefect Gou, during the Warring States period, the Yan State attacked Qi. Yan general Le Yi captured seventy-two cities, but Jimo did not surrender. But in the end, with the power of just one city, Qi could still be recovered." The country. Today's Qin Dynasty still has hundreds of cities and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It is temporarily trapped, but it is not hopeless. As long as our army and people of Qin can unite as one, then raise troops to serve the king and retreat to protect the whole state. To surrender the rebels, why do you have to take the initiative to confront the rebels and beg for mercy when faced with such little pressure?"
Gou Fu also stopped smiling and said seriously: "Feng Gong, you have misunderstood me. It is my ambition, Gou Fu, to defend the city and rather die than surrender. I am the governor of Da Qin. Even if I die, I will die there." How can you surrender the thieves when you are in your own right! What I just said is just to see what the elders in the city are planning. If you don’t want to fight, then I will naturally send everyone out of the city with gifts, and I and the state and county soldiers and horses I brought with me , will live and die with the city!"
Zhao Yi smiled and said: "It turns out that the Sheriff is testing us on purpose. Do you still doubt me now?"
Gou Fu shook his head and said seriously: "Of course not. Come here, kill the Qiang thief for me, hang his head on the tower, and tell Yao Chang, the old thief, what the Xinping people's answer is!"
Ten days later, outside Xinping City.
Yao Chang was still sitting on the mound ten days ago, frowning, looking at the battlefield in front of him. The walls of Xinping City were already riddled with holes. Corpses lay everywhere under the city. They were all Qiang soldiers. In the sky There were flocks of crows and vultures hovering, while in the trees and wilderness in the distance, wild dogs and hyenas were also walking back and forth, just waiting for nightfall to enjoy a feast of human flesh.
With a "boom", an earth mountain as high as the city wall stood outside the gate of the east city. It was hit by more than a dozen boulders flying from the city. More than twenty Qiang soldier archers standing on the top of the earth mountain, It turned into a meat pie immediately, and the earth on the top of the mountain was also hit by the flying rocks, causing a landslide. Hundreds of Qiang soldiers who were climbing up the inverse slope of the mountain did not even have time to turn around and escape. , these clods of earth weighed heavily on them, and soon, a mountain of earth more than two feet high was weighing down more than 300 Qiang people, scattering them all over the ground.
There was a burst of cheers from the top of the city, and the bangs of the Xinping defenders resounded throughout the four cities: "Yao Chang, Yao Chang, all the Qiang thieves are dead! Yao Chang, Yao Chang, all the Qiang thieves are dead!"
