"How many people can we use?" Yang Chendong thought about guarding the city. He finally needed a large army to use, so he asked Yang er.
"Young master, we have about 40000 soldiers available, including about 30000 soldiers, but not many of them have combat effectiveness. Tens of thousands of people can go to the tower to help if they are called upon."
Listening to this answer, Yang Chendong knew that it was not so easy to point to these people to keep the city. So he continued to ask, "where are our reinforcements?"
"The nearest one is the 20000 reinforcements led by Yao Yingjun. They have reached Qujing mansion in the northeast and can arrive before noon tomorrow. The fastest is the first cavalry army in the world. They have passed Yuanjiang mansion. If nothing happens, they may arrive tomorrow night. There are other main reinforcements. They can all rush in about two to four days "To." Yang Er took the schedule counted by Wang Shan and reported it to Yang Chen Dongyi.
"So we can only rely on ourselves from today to noon tomorrow?" Yang Chendong said. When he said this, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly and said in his heart, it's good to let the people here see the cruel war and let them know that peace is not easy.
"Yang Er, go to find Yang San and commander Cheng Hu, send out the soldiers who can be sent from the three provincial armies and the people who can go to the city, and let them go to the city. Don't be afraid of spending money or dead people. It's also time for some people to see that joining our Yang family can get the benefits of peace." Yang Chendong made a decision.
With his words, Yang Erzhong nodded his head. He already understood Yang Chendong's meaning and how to do it.
With this order, the whole Yunnan Province became busy again. Yang San, who had been hidden in the dark, also appeared in front of the crowd with a group of spies and started the task of mobilizing the people to go to the city building to defend the city.
As the governing place of Wang Zhu Huixi of the three provinces, there have been no fewer conscripts in recent years. But most of them focus on catching strong men, which is completely different from Yang San's recruitment process. Anyone who agrees to go upstairs and defend the city will give money.
When piles of white silver were placed under the gate, the enthusiasm of the people became high.
It is said that money can help God. Now it seems to be true.
Lured by silver, more and more people joined the city guarding army, including some middle-aged and elderly men over the age of 40. It is said that at their age, even when the three provincial kings catch strong men, they rarely target them. But when they had money to take, they took the initiative to join the army.
The notices written by Yang Chendong are also pasted all over the Yunnan mansion. The above clearly states that the soldiers guarding the city only need to persist until noon tomorrow. Once the reinforcements of the five-star army arrive, they will complete the task, and the money they get does not need to be returned to the task person.
In the final analysis, it's just a day. Everyone who joins the army can get five liang of silver, which is no different from the good thing of pie falling from the sky for ordinary people. As a poor people, naturally few people will refuse.
The result of the conscription was far beyond the expectations of Yang ER and Yang San. When they saw that there were 40000 people and the demobilized soldiers, they basically joined the task of guarding the city because of silver. Once when the number of soldiers expanded to 80000, they reported the success to Yang Chendong.
"Oh, see, this is the powerful power of the people. Think about how ridiculous those who regard the people as mole ants." Yang Chendong said with a sense of thousands. Then he handed over the command task of guarding the city to Yang Er, of which Yang San was responsible for logistics.
Yang ER was naturally excited when he got the command of guarding the city. He first found Cheng Hu and the soldiers of Lengfeng's army, division and regiment, listed them as the backbone, and made a simple distribution of 80000 troops. After that, he climbed the city tower in his own post, waiting for the enemy to appear and fight a battle.
Wu Yingtou, the king of Miao, saw that the situation was bad and ran away. It was in the process of retreating that he met Luo Guan, a senior general of Yunnan Province, and the 40000 original bAngela army. At present, they have a total of 80000 people in one place, aiming at Yunnan Province.
This is also the power of the light. In the dark, Wang mubin of Xiping also came to the foot of Yunnan mansion with 10000 Xiping troops.
Three days ago, after receiving Zhu Huixuan's letter to the flying pigeon that Yang Chendong started, the Xiping King couldn't sit down. Thinking that there would be one injury if two tigers fought each other, and in line with the idea of benefiting the fisherman, he drove day and night with the Pingxi army of 10000 elite people. Finally, without disturbing anyone, he went outside the city of Yunnan Province.
Living in Yunnan Province for generations, I know the terrain here like the back of my hand. Where there is a path, where there is a river, it is cooked and rotten in the heart. It is precisely under this advantage that the appearance of the Xiping army is that even the Intelligence Department of the Yang Department has not been informed of it. We have to say that this is the advantage of the local snake.
When the gods and ghosts didn't know it, when they arrived outside the Yunnan mansion, the scouts sent out found out that the three provincial armies would come to the city, and the five-star army in the city was also actively guarding against intelligence.
"So the war is about to start, just wait." mubin, who heard the news, soon pressed down his intention to fight. As for the news that the whereabouts of Wang Zhu Huiying of the three provinces are unknown, he is not concerned at all.
Without the three provincial kings, Yunnan Province would be its own nest. If he has been active in defense over the years, he may not be able to fight with the five-star army. It was all the appearance of this man that delayed his major events. There was no good impression on Zhu Huiyun and Mu bin.
This is a typical shirking of responsibility.
If you can't do well, you will always find various reasons to rely on others, which is also an irresponsible performance.
Yunnan Prefecture is now under strict security and is not suitable for its own attack. King Xiping can wait. He is like a poisonous snake in a dark corner. When the time comes, he will open his bloody mouth and bite up to achieve his goal.
Besides Luo Guan's headquarters, a group of 80000 troops came in a hurry. Finally, just after noon, they came outside the Xicheng city of Yunnan mansion, and then the troops were in formation.
Perhaps they also learned that the reinforcements of the five-star army were coming. They didn't have time to make any stone catapults. They just took out some long ladders of the siege. With the sound of the war drums of the three services, they set up the siege posture.
On the Xicheng building of Yunnan mansion. The soldiers and the people looked at the vast three provincial armies outside the city, and everyone looked bitter.
It was because of the temptation of silver that they forgot everything and joined the army. But when they saw that the enemy's array was so vast, they felt that it was difficult to take the silver. But once you receive the money, you have to do something. Otherwise, I'm afraid you don't need the three provincial armies to attack the city. Even the inspection teams arranged by the five-star army in the city will not spare themselves.
"Count the ball and do it. There are so many of us. Who is afraid of who." the soldiers who can't figure it out have to cheer themselves up when they see so many gowns standing around.
This is also the idea of many city guards. This scene was also seen by Yang ER and Yang San. "Hehe" Yang San smiled and said to Yang Er: "second brother, it seems that your soldiers' morale is a little low."
"They are all recruits. Many people haven't even seen blood. It's nothing to have such a performance." Yang Erzhen said with indifference.
Although the morale of his 80000 soldiers is indeed a little low, Yang Er is not worried that the three provincial armies outside the door will attack the city. After all, the forces of both sides are basically equal. In addition, they are the party guarding the city and occupy natural advantages. Among the soldiers, there are backbone like Lengfeng regiment. The other party has no heavy weapons for attacking the city. How can we see that his side has taken too much advantage and is carefree.
Looking at Yang er's self-confidence, Yang San was no longer worried. He just reminded the other party that he had no eyes for his sword, so he went down to the city tower to prepare for food.
In other words, Zhu Huixuan did some good things. For example, there was a lot of grain stored in the warehouse in the city, which was originally used by him for conscription and self-reliance. Now it's cheaper than Yang San. With these things, he can make incomparably delicious food. Presumably, with the stimulation of food, his morale should also be improved to a certain extent.
"OK, go and get more meat. I'll encourage the soldiers of the three services." Yang Er naturally knew the importance of food to the soldiers, so he smiled and sent Yang San away. Then he ordered someone to call Cheng Hu and told him that if there was a crisis in the city tower, the backbone of the cold front regiment would come out in person and set an example to kill the enemy who went to the city.
"Second brother, don't worry, that is, the sixth young master doesn't want firearms, or he doesn't need these people at all. With our cold front, we can hold the city without losing it. If we're done, we can fight back." Cheng Hu replied confidently.
"Ha ha, I know that you Leng Feng is very powerful. But the young master also wants these people to see blood. Sometimes it's more impressive to try again with more education, so forget about using firearms. Unless things are beyond our control, otherwise tell the soldiers that no one can use firearms." Of course, Yang Er knows the power of Leng Feng. This typical team, which is called the teaching regiment by the outside world, is only second only to the existence of black riding Dragon Guard in terms of combat ability.
The city tower is ready. The three provincial armies outside the city also launched an attack. They have learned that the garrison is composed of soldiers and ordinary people, and there is no elite force of the real five-star army, which makes them feel greatly relieved.
