Eight days later, traces of Yunyan Manzi were found for the first time in Yongchuan City. There were more than ten people without any banners. They should be the first spies.
No matter how prepared they were in advance, and no matter how long those Qi practitioners who retreated from the front line had practiced the method of killing barbarians, it was still not as intense as the subconscious tension they felt when they actually saw the barbarians with their own eyes.
The tall body looks like a huge horse bear standing upright from a distance. The sense of oppression will immediately remind people of the horrific passages about Yunyan barbarians biting people recorded in the history books of the Hong Dynasty for thousands of years, and the other party. An unbeatable record.
Being timid is often not because you are not brave, but because you cannot see the hope of winning.
However, Liu Jianyu is obviously not a timid person. Although it is the first time for him to see the real Yunyan Barbarian, he may have some fear in his heart, but these will not affect his judgment.
"A mere fourteen people dare to go more than ten miles to explore? Do you really think that I am nothing?"
boom!
The desk case almost fell apart after being slapped hard by Liu Jianyu. Immediately, the messenger in the tent received Liu Jianyu's order: "Call the outpost camp and allow them to lead two hundred light cavalry out of the city to encircle and suppress the enemy who came forward. Be sure to leave one alive and bring them back!" "
Liu Jianyu's idea was to put aside his fear of Yunyan Barbarian, treat him as a normal opponent, and then use military strategy conventions and logic to judge the transition between offense and defense. And he didn't feel that he couldn't even think about leaving the city because he was on the defensive at this time.
Dare to use more than a dozen people to advance more than ten miles to get close to investigate. This simply does not treat the defenders in Yongchuan City as human beings. Naturally, Liu Jianyu will not just stare at them.
"Instruct Xu Fu to order five hundred troops, fully armed, ready to go out of the city to respond at any time. Battle flags are hung on the two southeastern city walls, and the first responders enter the predetermined position just in case."
The ordering soldier responded loudly, then left the tent, and the general's order was passed on in three ways at the same time. For a moment, the entire Yongchuan City military camp was like a few drops of water splashing from a frying pan, and the crackling sound was astonishing. All the soldiers realized that the battle was about to begin.
Chen Shen came in from outside the tent. He had already heard the busy content of the messengers. Although he felt that such an impromptu attack was a bit hasty, he knew the temper of his general. At this time, he could make suggestions, but once the military order was issued, he could not come forward to discuss it. , so Chen Shen did not say anything about the order just now, but brought other news.
"General, since we withdrew the security forces from the city the day before yesterday, the city is now in complete chaos."
"What kind of nonsense?" Liu Jianyu stood in front of the map on the screen. From time to time, he used the ruler in his hand to measure the distance on the map. He could see that the map was filled with densely packed messages. To his surprise, it was around Yongchuan City. defense map.
Chen Shen stood aside and did not approach. He lowered his head slightly and continued: "General, your original intention is to defend the city with the strength of the army. All non-essential aspects must be delegated to the city's Yamen and the city lord's palace for management, and military affairs should be taken as the priority. Heavy. It also uses all the power in the city.
But the news of the coming war brought great panic. So much so that the power of the City Lord's Mansion and the Yamen could not be controlled at all. Although they did not impact the military-controlled area, some sporadic riots had begun to occur. Especially in the row houses where idle people live, there have been more than ten cases of robbery and murder, and the manpower of the Yamen is already stretched thin. "
"Hmph, a bunch of trash. Where is the City Lord's Mansion? They have a lot of power, so we can't just watch, right?"
"General, the City Lord's Mansion does still have a lot of power in its hands, but they have all gathered around the City Lord's Mansion. Even the Dongcheng Sword Hall, which is still under Feng Mingyuan's control, has also gathered together, and"
"And what, say."
"And the City Lord's Mansion is sending its people to the other side of the river via shipping from the main pier outside Beicheng. It is conservatively estimated that many fifty people have left in the past few days, and they are also accompanied by such precious materials."
"Golden materials? Do you have military supplies?"
"That's not the case. Our own people are still guarding the granary of the City Lord's Mansion, and no abnormalities have been found."
Liu Jianyu turned around at this time, walked back to the desk above and sat down, saying, "Although a family member like Feng Mingyuan is annoying, he still has the means and brains. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to create an industrial park like this." Good stuff is coming.
Now that the black tiger general Zhao Panshan has opened his head and refused to retreat, the temple has taken this as a mark of loyalty. The guards below are not allowed to retreat, nor are the city lords or government officials in the city. For the sake of the family's face, Feng Mingyuan would not dare to run away. But his family is not included in this, so as long as he leaves the military supplies without taking them away, the rest will run away. In this current situation, there is no need to worry about it anymore.
Besides, if my guess is correct, the people in the city who took advantage of the pier outside Beicheng to escape to the other side of the river must not only be the people in the city lord's palace, right? "
"Yes, General. Now the top merchants in the city, the high-ranking officials in the government, and their families are trying their best to get out of the city. Now the city gate is blocked and they can't get out, and the dock of the industrial park is guarded by Deputy General Bai. It's not feasible. Only the original main pier outside the North City can be used to cross the river. The actions of the City Lord's Mansion are also ahead. Although they are running secretly at present, they are also stirring up rumors in the city, making the people even more worried. Panic and angry.
General, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the city's defense if things continue like this. "
Chen Shen is a regular deputy general and has the function of giving advice to Liu Jianyu from time to time. He felt that the turmoil in the city was quickly getting out of control, so he thought that the military should step in to suppress it.
But Liu Jianyu did not answer immediately. Instead, he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
After a while, Liu Jianyu said: "Chen Shen, do you think Yongchuan City can be defended?"
"The general is here! Chen Shen thinks we can hold it!"
"Haha, this flattery is not clever. Okay, you don't have to defend yourself. Military strategists should be accustomed to victory and defeat. What's more, facing Yunyan's barbarians, it doesn't matter whether the city can be defended or not. Hard to guess.
Even a majestic pass like Pengshan Pass and a handsome man like Black Tiger General Zhao Panshan still can't stop Yunyan's invasion. Naturally, there is no chance of an accident happening in this small Yongchuan City. You and I, and everyone in the city knows this. Just don't say it.
Fortunately, the barbarian was not surrendered, otherwise he would not have known how ridiculous the scene would have been.
Therefore, since everyone has no idea, chaos in the city is inevitable. These are just reasonable.
To spread the word, anyone under the age of fifteen or over fifty-five in the city can leave, as long as they are capable. Let me tell the boat gang that this is not the time to make money. If you dare to mess around, you will take it directly back to the military camp and work as a coolie.
However, military supplies in the city are not allowed to be taken away, but a little food ration is fine. "
"General! It is a taboo to act like this before fighting!"
"Big taboo? Haha, Chen Shen, at this time, it doesn't make any sense whether there is a big taboo or not. Everyone must work hard, leaving those old, weak, women and children waiting to die in the city? Or do you think we are not enough? Add an extra side dish to the barbarian stuffed between his teeth?
Okay, just do as I say when it comes to things in the city, no need to say more.
What about the other industrial parks? Did you go there today? Tell me. "
Chen Shen was confused by Liu Jianyu's words. He did not expect that his general would make such a wild change. He quickly organized his words and continued to report.
