The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 272

Black clouds overwhelm the city and want to destroy it, and Jiaguang opens to the golden scales of Japan.At this time, Jing'an City was surrounded by 20 imperial court troops.

Li Yuan stood on the top of the wall, looking at the endless sea of ​​people, panicked in his heart.Especially when he saw the siege equipment that had just arrived with the army, his hopeful heart was completely shattered.

"Everyone, what, what should I do?" Li Yuan shook his hands, looking expectantly at the people around him, hoping that someone would stand up and turn the tide.

But to his disappointment, the panic on the faces of the crowd was more obvious than his. Looking at the army below, they couldn't help shaking their bodies.Hearing the words at this time, where can they have any ideas, everyone bowed their heads and kept a low profile as much as possible.

There was no other way, so Li Yuan could only look to Ye Hongyu, hoping that he could come up with some good suggestions.

Ye Hongyu is good at planning the overall situation, and he couldn't come up with any countermeasures for the military strategy, so he shook his head apologetically, "My lord, the enemy army has already approached the city. The enemy is strong and we are weak. The only plan for now is to stick to it and wait for the time to break the situation." .”

"Yes, but there are 20 troops under the city, plus those siege equipment, what chance does our army have?" Li Yuan's face was pale, his eyes were red, he stared at the endless sea of ​​people, and said in a hoarse voice, "The mighty power of the imperial court cannot be resisted by our army."

"My lord, be careful!" Ye Hongyu's complexion changed, and he quickly leaned over and whispered, "When the battle is about to take place, the lord must never say such words to shake the morale of the army. Now the lord's wealth and life depend on this, and the only way to survive is to fight hard." Fight for a chance of survival, and hope that the lord will not give up on himself and destroy the morale of the army."

Li Yuan blushed slightly, and immediately restrained his emotions, hiding the fear in his heart, and finally regained his confidence, "Sir, you are right, now is the life and death of my Li family, this old man must cheer up and hold on." Jing'an City."

"So, this subordinate congratulates the lord and the Li family." Ye Hongyu nodded in relief, looked at Qin Yuanhao who was observing the enemy's situation not far away, and continued, "My lord, this subordinate thinks that the matter of defending the city , we may ask General Qin more, after all, he used to be the guard of the Polang Pass, so he should have some countermeasures for the way of defense."

"Him?" Li Yuan couldn't help showing disdain, "Hmph, although he used to be the guard of the Wolf Breaker Pass, he was easily broken by the Golden Werewolves. He is so unbearable, what countermeasures can he take?"

"This? My lord, think about it. If General Qin is so unbearable, why would Lord Lin entrust him with important tasks and give him a high position?" Although Ye Hongyu is not very familiar with this General Qin, in his heart he is quite impressed by Lin Yifan's way of employing people. Admired, the talents he valued must be hard to find, so he continued to persuade, "I feel that being able to stand on a par with General Zheng Han must have some merits, and I hope the lord thinks twice. "

"Well, what you said is indeed reasonable." Li Yuan admired Zheng Han quite a lot in his heart, but he didn't dare to question Lin Yifan's vision. Could it be that General Qin is really talented? "Okay then, go and call him over, and the old man will ask him."

Ye Hongyu was overjoyed and hurried over to invite him personally.

After a while, Qin Yuanhao came with Ye Hongyu.At this time, he swept away his previous laziness, and his whole body stood in front of everyone like a sharp sword.He glanced at the crowd sharply, and finally bowed to Li Yuan with both hands clasped, "The last general pays his respects to Patriarch Li. I don't know why Patriarch Li asked the general to come, why?"

Li Yuan was greatly astonished. Looking at this General Qin who looked like two different people, he couldn't believe his eyes. Is it true that this person is really talented as Ye Hongyu said? "General Qin, the old man invited you here because he wanted to please you. Under the current situation, what should we do?"

Qin Yuanhao looked up at the army outside the city, with a calm face, "If you go back to Patriarch Li, the general thinks that Jing'an City has a high wall and a thick city, and it occupies an advantageous location. As long as our army can unite and defend the city, it will not be difficult." .”

"That's the case, but there are countless siege equipment in the imperial army, which are specially used for siege. Although our army has [-] people, General Qin must be aware of the difference. In this battle, we can defend the city. Can you live?" Li Yuan looked at him with anxiety in his heart and asked hesitantly.

Qin Yuanhao frowned slightly, looked at him and shook his head slightly, "Patriarch Li, whether you can hold this battle depends on whether you can make up your mind and fight to the death with all your strength. If you are as hesitant as you are now, fearing the enemy like a tiger , the time for the city to break is not far away."

"You!" Li Yuan couldn't help staring at him from embarrassment, wishing that someone would drag him down and chop him up.

"My lord, please be safe and don't be impatient. General Qin asks you to be careful." Ye Hongyu immediately rushed to the two of them, anxiously persuading them, "Now that the enemy is in front of us, this is not the time for infighting. My lord, General Qin, please take care of the overall situation." Heavy."

"Huh!" Li Yuan snorted coldly, and he was no longer polite to Qin Yuanhao. "If you are not a guest soldier, I will attack you for your rudeness just now, and the old man will definitely punish you on the spot. The matter of defending the city is up to me." Li Jiajun should deal with it. Your [-] Hengshan people should be responsible for moving the equipment."

Qin Yuanhao smiled lightly, "That's fine, since your army is sure to defend the city, then our army will also be happy to be at leisure."

The two talked so much and broke up unhappy.After appeasing Li Yuan, Ye Hongyu quickly found Qin Yuanhao and apologized to him.

"Mr. Ye, there is no need to do this. My lord has told me about you before. From my point of view, this Li family master is useless. It is better for you to get away as soon as possible." Qin Yuanhao smiled, and by the way, he asked the lord to win you over talent.

Ye Hongyu smiled, did not take his words, and changed the subject directly, "General Qin, I know you are a great talent, so you must have some ideas about defending the city in your heart? I wonder if you can talk about it next time?"

Qin Yuanhao did not hide this, but just sighed slightly, "To be honest, sir, I am not particularly optimistic about this defense of the city. The morale of the Li family army is low, and the combat power is uneven. Facing the front of the imperial army , I am afraid it will be difficult to resist."

"Ah? Then, what should I do?" Ye Hongyu's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but look at Qin Yuanhao, and asked eagerly, "Please give me your advice, General."

"Don't dare to do it. In fact, the key to defending a city lies in the hearts of the people. If the hearts of the people are united, it will be as solid as gold, and if the hearts of the people are scattered, it will be like a pan of loose sand. My adults once said that fortresses often collapse from the inside. The same is true for defending a city. When a place collapses, everything collapses. Therefore, it is necessary to use various methods to inspire and control people's hearts. In fact, the second is to have strict military law supervision, heavy rewards and heavy punishments, so that the soldiers strive for rewards , fear of punishment; the last is a reasonable deployment of troops, wherever additional manpower is needed, where troops can be dispatched, they must be adaptable, flexible, and defend every corner of the city wall in an all-round way without dead ends, so that the enemy cannot take advantage opportunity. As long as these three points are achieved, Jing’an City will be free from worries.”

"General Qin is a great talent, it's a pity that my lord has eyes that don't recognize real gold, alas." Ye Hongyu sighed, "General Qin, I will recommend you to my lord, and you will take charge of the important task of guarding the city."

"It's better for Mr. Ye not to do this." Qin Yuanhao held him back with a wry smile, "Now Patriarch Li has misunderstood my subordinate a lot, telling him at this time will only arouse his anger. Why don't you do this, and I will send you I will pass on the experience of defending the city to you, and Mister Li will give advice to Patriarch Li, maybe he will listen to it."

"But, but in this way, wouldn't General Qin be wronged?" Ye Hongyu looked at him rather uneasy.

"It's okay, I'm a soldier from Hengshan, not from his Li family." Qin Yuanhao waved his hands and said indifferently, "I just want to complete the tasks assigned by the adults here, guard Jing'an City, and make a surprise attack for our army. Jishanguan to buy time. As for the others, I don’t care.”

"Oh, Mr. Lin's ability to know and employ people is far better than my lord." Ye Hongyu shook his head slightly, sighed softly, his eyes were full of loneliness.
