Chapter 353 The Fall of Shuangqing City

late at night.

In the study room, Bailang buried his head in the map on the table, frowning tightly. In front of him were the three most trusted people in the knife shop, Liu Xu, Zhou Dong, and Yang Xiu.

Just half an hour ago, Bailang had just returned from the military camp in the city, and at the same time brought extremely bad news.

Shuangqing City fell.

In the few days before Bailang's accidental retreat, Yunyan's army did not stop at all just as Bailang guessed, and marched quickly to burn the flames of war to the city of Shuangqing. their first choice.

As expected, the Hong Chao army's deduction once again had a huge surprise.

Fortunately, Bailang's little trick of pushing back was really guessed by him.So Bailang didn't panic or feel surprised when he heard the news.At most, he was a little surprised by the speed of Yun Yan's army.

And then the battles on the south bank of Changshui raged, and the cities were turned into red land. After Shuangqing City, it was Yongchuan City's turn.And just like Shuangqing City has a Lingshi mine, Yongchuan City is not just a big city, but a big city with good ordnance output.Winning here can greatly relieve the pressure on Yunyan's army's consumption of ordnance, and can be supplemented to a certain extent.

Therefore, Liu Jianyu summoned all the lieutenants in the army to discuss matters in the army. What he said was to assign everyone's military affairs in detail, and began to approve everyone under his command to enter a state of war at any time, with weapons at their disposal, arrows fully equipped, and all positions twelve days a day. There must be someone on duty at all times.

And in the city, starting from tonight, not only the curfew will become stricter, but even during the day, you need to carry your ID card with you when you go out. If you don't have one, you will be taken directly to the army as a coolie.

And now all the laborers are carrying stones back from outside the east city, carrying them with bamboo poles, picking them with picks, and pushing them with carts. Anyway, the smallest stone weighs five kilograms. The bigger the better, they are all brought back and piled under the city wall.

And the so-called "golden juice".From now on, they are no longer allowed to be transported outside the city. They are all dumped in a specific cellar, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach to prevent poisoning.

In addition, there are a series of actions, such as the tightening of rations again, the grain warehouses in the city have begun to take precautions day and night, and corresponding incineration preparations must be made in addition to fire prevention to deal with the worst situation.

Finally, Liu Jianyu also gave the determination of Yongchuan City: fight to the death and never retreat, vowing to live and die with the city!

There is determination, after all, there has never been a possibility of negotiating with the Yunyan barbarians, and they will never take any prisoners or surrender.The end of being caught without a fight will only be to have his head chopped off and become meat in the mouth of the barbarians.Instead, anyone with a little bit of blood will choose to give it a go.

But determination alone is not enough.Especially now that the fall of Shuangqing City is like a basin of ice water, pouring a chill on the minds and minds in Yongchuan City.Because everyone knows that the defense strength of Shuangqing City is actually similar to that of Yongchuan City.If Shuangqing City cannot be defended, there is a high probability that Yongchuan City will not be able to defend it.

Of course, a fight to the death is an order to the entire army.It does not include the Qi trainers who came to reinforce them.They can choose to leave when the war is irretrievable, cross the river to Jiangbei, and then find another place to return.

This is a privilege that only Qi practitioners can enjoy.People in the army, if they want to cross the river, they will probably have to be sniped by the friendly army on the other side of the river. Believe it or not.

Moreover, Bai Lang was certain that the "fight to the death" mentioned by Liu Jianyu was probably a death order given to him by the Yamen of the Ministry of War.As a soldier, Liu Jianyu must obey orders, regardless of his bloody nature. At least on the surface, he must obey orders.Otherwise, you are rebelling and will be punished by the Nine Clans.

"Yang Xiu, the layout of your industrial park is still inappropriate. You can't completely abandon the route from the industrial park to the city and put all your strength on the dock and the north of the city. I said before that the industrial park is impossible No matter how long we can hold it, we will eventually have to retreat to the city. But before retreating, our people need to evacuate in advance through this route. If your arrangement is too obvious or too centralized, do you really think Chen Ran will not notice it at all? ? The one who left is a soldier, this will be very troublesome."

Bailang raised his head from the map on the table with a serious expression.

The map Yang Xiu handed over was the defense layout of the industrial park.It was also the first phase of the defense task that Bailang received from Liu Jianyu, which required extending the production time of the industrial park as much as possible, and ensuring that all towers were destroyed and as many craftsmen were taken away as possible before evacuating.

However, Yang Xiu's plan obviously dissatisfied Bailang.

"Defending the city is not our purpose. Our purpose is to let as many brothers in the Dao Hall survive as possible and go to Daomen Village. Do you understand what we mean now?"

"I know my mistake! I will make adjustments immediately!"

"You do this, you do this with Brother Dong, listen to Brother Dong's opinion more, and then bring the things to me as soon as possible."

Zhou Dong and Yang Xiu responded quickly.

"Also, Mr. Liu, tell me how many of the family members who signed up in the knife shop have left?"

Liu Xu arched his hands and replied: "If you go back to the seat knife, [-]% of the people on the list have already gone. The remaining [-]% are to stand up and not attract attention."

"Speed ​​up, arrange means, whether it's water, cold or cold, or simply stay behind closed doors, in short, all must be evacuated within the past ten days. If they can't evacuate, it's only their own bad luck."

Liu Xu's expression also tightened, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "Zao Dao, if you do this, no matter how careful you are, it will definitely leak the news. For you"

Bailang waved his hand, and said decisively: "Right now, there is no need to take care of everything. And when the time comes, I don't know how many people will be in a hurry. How can the army care so much? As long as it's not the strength of the army, I can't wait to see you." Gather up the food or money that the runaways can’t take away from their homes and send them to the army, without these people in the city, there will be less distractions in the army.”

After being confirmed, Liu Xu was also unambiguous, and directly said that he understood.

"At that time, the fleet on the pier must not lose its chain, Yang Xiu, you send some good men to the pier to watch, and nothing will go wrong.

In addition, you are also watching Chen Ran. Although he has been temporarily withdrawn by Liu Jianyu, he still has dozens of people in the industrial park. If there is a change, they cannot be allowed to interfere with the dock.If it doesn't work, you can block them outside the pier as an excuse to think for yourself. "

"My subordinate understands!"

Finally, Bai Lang looked at Zhou Dong and said: "Brother Dong, the waist knives are about to be withdrawn, and the street wanderers in your hands are also about to be prepared. When the family members in the knife shop begin to evacuate, you will also have to withdraw at least half of them. . You should also make arrangements quickly."

"So fast? Okay! Don't worry, Zao Dao, I will definitely not miss the job. But are those eyeliners in the barracks left at the end?"

"Eyeliner. All the eyeliner that has no heels are broken, and all our own people can withdraw. When the Yunyan barbarian arrives, the affairs of the army will be meaningless."
