Han Xiang

Chapter 151 Controlling hidden dangers, Longxiang patrols the city

Lu Su frowned and replied, "Don't worry about Yun Qi, we'll figure out what to do, maybe it's just a feint, and the vision is not clear at night, so it's not suitable for attacking the city."

"Well, that makes sense."

Long Xiang nodded affirmatively, turned around and told Tang Yu: "Go back to rest after settling down, we don't stay up late with Jiangdong people."

After hearing this, Tang Yu hurriedly reminded: "I'd better stay here? What if they turn the falsehood into reality?"

Long Xiang pointed to the flames below the city, and explained with a sneer: "There are only a few hundred people below, so why worry about a real siege? There is still time for temporary dispatch, and there is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to defend against a thief? The tough battle is definitely in the daytime, Arrange the rotation of the team, and then go back to rest."

"Okay." Tang Yu nodded in response.

Lu Su was secretly amazed when he saw it, and thought that Long Xiang often had witty words. Although he didn't know the art of war, he was able to do things just right. He could learn seven or eight points after just watching his own dispatch. It's an amazing learning ability. .

On the way back to the Army Sima Mansion, Lu Su asked curiously: "There are more than 3 soldiers and horses outside the city, Yun Qi is really not panicking at all? Sun Ce is much stronger than Zheng Baoke."

"It's useless to panic. I have no way out. I have to fight to the end. Besides, there is enough food in the city. No matter what tricks Zhou Yu plays, we can afford it with him."

"That's a good point. As long as there are enough troops and food, and there is no civil strife in the city, the defensive side will have a great advantage. In addition, according to Zi Yang, Liu Xun led an army of [-] to Yuzhang. It is impossible for Jiangdong to divide too many troops to intercept them, so Sun Ce I dare not spend long in Hefei."

"So if you're worried, it's better to sleep with your head covered."

"Hehe, I just like Yun Qi's mentality."

In the second half of the night, Hefei was as quiet as a cemetery.

According to Zhou Yu's plan, the Jiangdong army shouted and shouted under the city in batches and times, and the southeast two gates also tried to attack twice, trying to disturb the rest of the defenders and make the people in the city panic and sleepless.

It is a pity that the defenders in Hefei did not cooperate. The Jiangdong Army actively defended the city when they attacked the city, but ignored the clamor and shouts under the city; this was especially true in the residential areas in the city.

In the early morning of the next day, the siege battle officially started.

There is the danger of falling rocks in the front, and the power of military law in the back.

The soldiers who surrendered in Wan County were forced to charge and climb the city with arrows and stones.

Sun Ce's tactics at this time are similar to the Mongols attacking the city with slaves. Compared with the defensive battle in Wan County, Liu Xun's soldiers fought very "aggressively".

In just one morning, eight or nine hundred people were killed on the Jiangdong side.

It was the first time for the defenders to encounter a "mad dog" charge. Although the casualties were far less than that of the attackers, materials such as bows, arrows, bricks and stones were consumed quickly.

After Long Xiang inspected the four gates of Hefei, he focused his energy on the city. He knew that the logistics supply was the key. Fortunately, Feng Zhong did a very good job, and the whole city was in good order.

At noon, Long Xiang walked to the middle of the north-south trunk road, and found a familiar figure, who also saw him at the same time, and greeted him excitedly.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"I'll look around, how are you?"

On an open space by the roadside, there were a lot of materials waiting to be transshipped. The bridgeman was responsible for counting and arranging the vehicles. At this time, he was in the exciting period of just starting work, and the smile on his face could explain everything.

"This job is still relatively easy. I heard from the craftsmen who transported the goods that there is fierce fighting on all sides. Can we hold it?"

"It's necessary to keep it. You can tell by looking at me, but the war has just begun. Since you want to help Hefei, you can't give up halfway, huh?"

In the middle of speaking, Long Xiang suddenly caught a glimpse of a corner of the pile of supplies, and there were actually a lot of ingredients such as vegetables, melons and fruits, so he pointed and asked, "My lord, what are these things?"

"The people in the city sent them to reward the soldiers. Dudu Feng gathered them and piled them up at my place. I will pull them to make food in a while, and I will give extra meals to the officers and soldiers defending the city later."

"So that's how you guys work hard."

When Long Xiang was under Yuan Shu's command, he saw officers and soldiers robbing the people of food, but he never saw the people taking the initiative to reward the army.

At this moment, Long Xiang felt very relieved, and lamented that he seemed to have done nothing, and his popularity was not bad.

In fact, the common people have a simple idea. They support whoever gives me food. They live a stable life here. Naturally, they don’t want Hefei to change hands.

Leaving from the work area of ​​the bridge, Long Xiang went to the settlement of the new refugees.

Because they had just entered the city and caught up with the war, these people were undoubtedly panicked. Fortunately, Feng Zhong provided a simple residence and provided two meals of porridge for free.

During the war, except for the fletching workshop in Hefei, all other workshops and construction sites were shut down.

The newcomers had no place to work, and Long Xiang felt that these people were more dangerous, so he had to come and confirm in person, but the scene was different from what he imagined.

There was no panic, no complaints, and even a sense of satisfaction in these people's eyes.

Later, after asking Feng Zhong, he found out that these refugees would be better off eating relief food in Hefei if they were hungry and full in Wan County, so it was impossible to respond to Sun Ce.

Before Long Xiang left with satisfaction, he called Feng Zhong aside and told him, "Uncle Zhong, half of these refugees are craftsmen, and they are skilled craftsmen from Shouchun. The construction of Hefei needs them very much, so you have to take care of them. "

"Don't worry, Yun Qi, the craftsmen's battalion is not enough. They will be my soldiers from now on, so they can't treat my own badly." Feng Zhong nodded with a smile.

"Very good, I'll look elsewhere."

"it is good."

Long Xiang had no doubts about Feng Zhong's guarantee, so he left to continue his inspection.

Go out in the morning and return home in the evening.

Running around in Hefei for a day, Long Xiang was like moving bricks on the construction site for a day. Although his body was a little tired, his heart was very at ease.

Although Sun Ce attacked fiercely, the defenders also defended well, and logistical supplies were provided in an orderly manner.

If there are no external factors, if the defense continues like today, the attacking party will surely fail.

A real war is different from a game. If there is no deep hatred, it is impossible to attack regardless of the cost.

Sun Ce is brave and ruthless, but he is not a simple warrior. Long Xiang thought that Sun Ce would retreat in spite of difficulties, but the war was not as simple as he thought.

As night fell, Long Xiang prepared to drink and drink, and waited for the camp leaders to return for dinner, but Feng Zhong and Cao Xing did not come to report for a long time.

Did something happen?
Long Xiang personally inspected the key points today, what will happen to the scenes of Haiyan and Heqing in the streets and alleys?He tried to convince himself that it was impossible.

"What's the matter with them? Didn't they sneak back to Fei No. [-] after not seeing their wife and children for a day?"

Tang Jue's joke aroused everyone's laughter, but Liu Ye beside Lu Su looked solemn.

Seeing Long Xiang's brows frowned, Liu Ye cupped his hands and said, "None of them abolished generals for personal reasons. It's best for Long Sima to send someone to take a look. Maybe they were caught up in something important. Today, the two battalions of craftsmen and cavalry are not It’s easier than a city defense battalion.”

"I'll go." Tang Yu stood up first.
