At this time, Li Hongyun was already surrounded by people, and even in and outside the city, many people looked up in the direction of the tower.
Wang Zongchang, played by Li Hongyun, stands at the highest point, condescending.
Withdraw? Or keep it?
Everyone is waiting and watching.
General Liu Ji was tied up, with a complicated expression on his face.
It seemed like he was harboring evil intentions, like he was afraid, but also like he was disdainful.
He didn't expect that Wang Jianjun would actually dare to attack him and directly seize the command. But he did not believe that Wang Jianjun could defend the city.
The reason is simple, this city cannot be defended at all!
The bandits will arrive soon, and the morale of the troops in the city is unstable. Wang Jianjun is not a heroic figure like General Deng, so he can't conjure a large army out of thin air, right?
Everyone is waiting for orders.
Li Hongyun took a deep breath and ordered loudly: "Go and open the armory, take out all the ordnance, armor, and firearms inside, and distribute them to all the people!
"Even the old, weak, sick, and disabled, even women and children, as long as they can wear armor, they will all put it on and stand at the top of the city to show off their momentum!
"Also, bring all the usable spears in the treasury to me!"
A deputy general looked hesitant: "Master Supervisor, we need General Deng's order to open the treasury..."
Li Hongyun glanced at him: "Do you think your head looks like General Deng's warrant?
"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly! If anything happens, I'll take care of it!"
After putting the knife on General Liu Ji's neck, Li Hongyun completely let himself go.
Anyway, this city can't be defended, so the dungeon will be reset. Why do you care so much?
The lieutenant did not dare to say anything more, and quickly led his people to the treasury to distribute ordnance and armor.
Li Hongyun added: "Gather all the people and soldiers in the city, close the city gates, and strictly order that no one can escape, especially in the direction where the bandits are coming!
"Those who fled will be killed without mercy!"
Two more lieutenants were ordered to leave. These people, with their soldiers, quickly gathered the remaining soldiers and civilians who wanted to escape.
General Liu Ji said coldly: "The spirit of Lord Supervisor is indeed admirable. But at this time, the people and soldiers in the city have already fled in several groups. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch them back. We don't have that many manpower."
Li Hongyun ignored him and continued to give orders.
"Prepare a suit of armor for me and carry the war drum to the top of the city!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
ah?
What kind of trouble are you going to make when you wear armor?
Although he was confused, someone soon brought armor and soldiers brought war drums to the top of the city.
At the same time, the ordnance in the treasury was also moved out, and many people put on Shengjun's clothes and gathered in the city.
Bundles of spears were piled next to Li Hongyun.
The reason why Nanhe City is so important to General Deng is not only because it is the base for Sheng's army in the rear, but also because it contains a lot of new ordnance.
It's just that it can't be effective even if there are no weapons or soldiers.
Li Hongyun has already put on armor.
It was not the sophisticated armor worn by senior generals like General Deng, but just the armor of deputy generals. After all, armor was too expensive these days, and most of the armor in the treasury was soldiers' armor.
But this is enough for Li Hongyun.
He came to the top of the city, held a drumstick, and beat the war drum violently.
"Boom!"
"Boom! Boom!"
The intensive drumbeats sounded and could be heard clearly from a long distance around.
Li Hongyun beat the drum and shouted: "Defend the city! I will defend the army and the people, and I swear to live and die with this city!"
With the blessing of his natural skills, his actions and actions greatly boosted morale, and the subtle influence gradually spread.
Under the city, some people had already escaped from the city gate, but when they heard the sound of drums on the city, they couldn't help but look up.
"Who is that?
"It seems to be Mr. Wang!
"Why is Mr. Wang still at the top of the city? Didn't he say that these lieutenants are also going to flee?
“There are many people in the city, but they don’t seem to have abandoned the city.
"Does Mr. Wang have the confidence to hold on? Or is he ready to die for his country?
"what should we do?
"What should we do? Go back of course! Since Mr. Wang won't leave, the city must be safer than the outside!"
For these people who fled, this decision was not difficult to make.
If everyone gives up on Nanhe City, it goes without saying that the city will definitely be more dangerous. Because the thieves will definitely burn, kill and loot after entering the city. If you stay in the city, you will be a lamb to be slaughtered. If you leave the city, you can find a chance of survival.
But what if you can defend Nanhe City?
That means the city is safer!
Although it is very likely that we will have to fight the bandits, we can rely on the city defense after all. If the bandits cannot attack for a long time, they may still be able to wait for reinforcements from the Sheng army.
However, escaping from the city is even more dangerous. It is very likely that you will encounter bandits who are attacking the city, and you will be inexplicably left alone and become cannon fodder.
What's more, many people are originally from the city, and their desire to stay in the city already prevails.
Therefore, after seeing Wang Jianjun beating drums on the city tower to show his determination, many people who had escaped from the city gate changed their minds and returned to the city.
The defenders in the city are also setting up defenses.
Although they are all old and weak, they may not be unable to fight with the help of the city.
A deputy general quickly came to Li Hongyun's side and said: "Master Supervisor, the bandits are here!"
Li Hongyun saw that the remaining soldiers and people outside the city had almost gathered together, so he temporarily put down his drumsticks.
The gates of Nanhe City have also been closed.
Li Hongyun looked into the distance and saw an army of bandits emerging from the dense forest.
The number of people is getting bigger and bigger, which makes people feel frightened.
If the army led by General Deng were here, Li Hongyun would definitely not panic at all, and would even be a little excited, because he would not be afraid of a head-on confrontation. But now, such a disparity in strength really makes him feel unsure.
"Let all the common people wearing military uniforms also go up and down the city wall to put up a heavily guarded posture!"
With an order, these common people in military uniforms began to move quickly on the city, and under the command of the soldiers, they went to different directions on the city wall. Then, they either held their sabers high or held bows and arrows, standing neatly.
In fact, many of them are old people and women with no fighting ability, but it doesn't matter, as long as they wear Shengjun's soldier armor, they can't be seen from a distance.
Li Hongyun, on the other hand, stood with his sword at the top of the city... Well, he had neither a sword nor a horse. He just held a long spear, which was as steady as a mountain.
The thieves are very fast.
However, they did not attack the city immediately, but stopped in the distance, seeming to be in some commotion.
The leader, General Dongyi, rode on a war horse and raised his hand to stop the bandits who wanted to advance, with doubts in his eyes.
"Sheng Jun actually arranged so many defenders in the city?
"The intelligence is wrong! Who said Nanhe City's defenses are empty! It's obviously a ploy to lure the enemy!
"I just said that Sheng Jun was so scheming, how could he leave such obvious flaws!"
A bandit next to him said: "But Buning Port is in danger. If we cannot take Nanhe City, the consequences will be disastrous!"
General Dongyi said angrily: "You can't rush in! Once you attack the city, it won't be that easy to retreat!
"Go and send someone to survey the surroundings to find the best position to attack the city!"
With an order, several teams of thieves dispersed and went to investigate.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Li Hongyun stood at the top of the city, ready to attack.
The lieutenants beside them were all surprised. They didn't expect that this empty city strategy could actually work? Did you really scare the thieves?
The people in the city all wore Shengjun's armor and stood on the top of the city. They really looked very powerful and created a feeling for the thieves that the defenders were very numerous and had high morale.
However, all this did not last long.
After observing for a period of time, the bandits launched an attack!
Obviously, these bandits are not that stupid. Most of them are extremely vicious veterans of many battles and cannot really be scared away.
If they really retreated, how could they capture Nanhe City and rescue the bandits in Buning Port?
Therefore, after some investigation, the bandits launched an attack!
Li Hongyun said loudly: "Get ready to fight!"
Others might be lucky, but he couldn't have any luck at all, because he knew very well that it was absolutely impossible to simply pass this dungeon with an empty city strategy.
He will definitely be beaten to death!
But in any case, through such a strategy of suspecting soldiers, it not only gathered the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city, but also made the bandits suspicious and failed to launch an attack immediately. It was already a huge profit.
Seeing the bandits preparing to attack the city, the soldiers of Sheng Army also became busy.
Those who can shoot arrows shoot arrows, those who can use muskets use muskets, and those who can't use them just wait on the top of the city with spears. Even ordinary people are constantly bringing in dismantled rolling logs and fallen rocks from the city, preparing to use the most primitive method to attack those bandits who try to board the city!
A deputy general came to Li Hongyun and said: "Master Supervisor, this place is very dangerous. It's better to step back and take command!"
There was nothing wrong with his statement. In the eyes of these lieutenants, there was really no need for Wang Zongchang to be on the front line.
The battle at the top of the city was definitely the most intense. It could be said to be the first line of battle against the bandits' warriors.
Those who dare to rush into the first wave are definitely elite bandits with powerful combat capabilities.
As a civil servant, Wang Zongchang had done his best to stand at the top of the city beating drums and rallying morale.
At this time, General Liu was kidnapped. Wang Jianjun was the highest military commander in the city. If he wanted to take command, he really shouldn't stay in such a most dangerous place.
If something goes wrong, wouldn't it mean that the whole group would be leaderless?
However, Li Hongyun shook his head: "Don't worry about me, just kill the enemy bravely!"
As he spoke, he picked up a spear from the side.
These were all brought out from the treasury before, and they were all piled up next to him.
Then, Li Hongyun took a stance and threw the spear in his hand at a bandit who was climbing the ladder!
This bandit was wearing armor and was tall and strong. He was obviously an elite.
He had already climbed halfway and saw clearly that many of the so-called Shengjun in the city were actually old men and women pretending to be soldiers, and he couldn't help but show disdain.
As long as they climb the tower, these people are vulnerable!
However, before the bandit had time to see the scenery on the city, a spear had already shot through the air.
With a "pop" sound, the spear pierced him directly, and the entire ladder and other thieves on the ladder also fell down!
On the tower, the deputy general looked at him in shock.
Isn't the Lord Supervisor a civil servant?
How could he be so good at fighting? ?
