Feng Miao and Feng Yu lowered their heads in shame, their red faces turning as red as hot coals, while Feng Jie's voice still echoed in their ears: "How have we Xinping people lived in the past twenty years or so?"
?Looking at the missing corner every day, can I still eat and sleep well? How can I wash away such a big insult? I, Feng Jie, am not talented. I have been waiting for an opportunity for decades. Today, it is us
The best chance to clear away the shame!"
Everyone was refreshed, raised their heads, and looked at Feng Jie. Zhao Yi's brows shook at first, then frowned, and shook his head: "Mr. Feng, even if you say so, after all, the enemy is stronger than us.
Weak, there are tens of thousands of Qiang thieves, and we got a lot of sophisticated equipment from defeating the king's master. Even if all the big families in our city come together, there are only six or seven thousand people, and the armor and weapons in the city are only about three thousand.
The city is not strong, and the food reserves are not sufficient. If we have to fight hard, we will hit the stone with an egg. It is not that I, Zhao, are greedy for life and afraid of death, but it is meaningless to sacrifice like this in vain."
Feng Yu's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhao, you just said that we would never surrender. What do you mean by saying these words now? Did you say it casually at the beginning and didn't take it seriously?
"
Zhao Yi said sternly: "That's not the case. What I mean is that we can temporarily avoid the enemy's attack, pretend to surrender, and wait until the Qiang thieves leave, then we can bring order to the chaos and cut off the enemy's retreat. This is much better than fighting in vain."
Feng Jie looked resolute and shook his head: "This is absolutely impossible. The world is in chaos now. Many states and counties are rebelling against the Qin Dynasty and surrendering to thieves, or are self-reliant. Most of them have this intention, and they want to be in trouble in the future.
But what the King of Heaven needs most now is not this kind of future, but loyal people who can defend their country with passion, so that everyone can see that the Qin Dynasty is not dead, and there are still loyal ministers and good generals fighting for it.
The bandits may seem powerful, but they are ultimately unpopular and will be destroyed one day!"
Zhao Yi gritted his teeth: "But having said that, with such a disparity in strength, there is absolutely no chance of winning in a fight. If the righteous men from all sides see us raising troops, but they are quickly wiped out, wouldn't it shake their determination to fight even more?
"
Feng Jie said with emotion: "The situation is not that bad. There are still more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians in the city. The servants of our major families add up to more than 5,000 people. And I, Feng, have stocked up some armors and combat equipment over the years in preparation."
In troubled times, there are more than 2,000 items needed. Now that the country is in crisis, together with the inventory in the treasury, a garrison of more than 4,000 people can be organized. Most of them are soldiers who have been on the battlefield and are locals to protect the family.
When fighting for the country, morale will naturally be high."
"On the other hand, Yao Chang, although he is powerful, is mostly a mob. The Qiang people took advantage of the situation and came to join us. Don't we know what kind of virtue the Qiang people are? They are just some rats that steal and plunder.
This is their strength. They fought hard, and ten Qiang were no match for one Han! Xinping has always been an important town in the north of the Ling Dynasty. Over the years, how many foreign cavalry have come from Hetao, Mobei, and the Western Regions? From the Xiongnu to Xianbei to Tiefu, it can be said that
They went on and on, but they never broke through our Xinping City once. This is because we have been the old Qin Dynasty since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Our bodies are filled with the blood of our ancestors who were unyielding, strong and good at fighting! Even if a hundred thousand Qiang thieves came
, what do we have to fear?!"
Feng Yu was very excited when he heard this and shouted loudly: "Okay, Mr. Feng said it well!"
Feng Jie nodded, his eyes sparkling, and he continued: "Prefect Gou, you are right, this is Xinping City, and the fate of Xinping City should be decided by us Xinping people. When Huan Wen invaded, I was in charge
The Governor of Western Liaoning is not here, so he missed the opportunity to stop everyone. This time, I have no reason to watch everyone make mistakes. If anyone thinks that they can't win if they stay, and wants to leave, or pretends to surrender, then please do it now
Leave, we Xinping men are all old Qin people in Guanzhong, with hundreds of years of blood passed down, our heads can be cut off, but we will never surrender!"
Gou Fu laughed, stepped forward to help Feng Jie, and held his hand: "Mr. Feng, with your words, I feel relieved. Mr. Xinping and his father are indeed strong-willed men. I admire you, I admire you!"
Feng Jie said sternly: "Prefect Gou, during the Warring States period, the Yan State attacked Qi, and the Yan general Le Yi conquered seventy-two cities, but only one city of Jimo did not surrender, but in the end it was only the power of this city, and Qi could still be recovered.
The Qin Dynasty today still has hundreds of cities and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It is temporarily trapped, but it is not hopeless. As long as our army and people of the Qin Dynasty can unite as one, then raise troops to serve the king and retreat to protect the whole state.
To surrender the traitors, why do you have to take the initiative to confront the traitors and beg for mercy when faced with such little pressure?"
Gou Fu also stopped smiling and said seriously: "Feng Gong, you have misunderstood me. It is my ambition to defend the city and would rather die than surrender. I am the governor of Da Qin. Even if I die, I will die there."
How can you surrender the thieves when you are in your own position! What I just said is just to see what the elders in the city are planning. If you don’t want to fight, then I will naturally send you out of the city with gifts, and I and the state and county soldiers and horses I brought with me
, will live and die with the city!"
Zhao Yi smiled and said: "It turns out that the Sheriff is testing us on purpose. Now do you still doubt me?"
Gou Fu shook his head and said seriously: "Of course not. Come here, kill the Qiang thief for me, hang his head on the tower, and tell old thief Yao Chang what the Xinping people's answer is!"
Ten days later, outside Xinping City.
Yao Chang was still sitting on the mound ten days ago, frowning deeply, looking at the battlefield in front of him. The walls of Xinping City were already riddled with holes. Corpses lay everywhere under the city, and they were all Qiang soldiers. In the sky
There were flocks of crows and vultures hovering, while in the trees and wilderness in the distance, wild dogs and coyotes were also walking back and forth, just waiting for nightfall to enjoy a feast of human flesh.
With a "boom", an earth mountain as high as the city wall stood outside the city gate of the East City. It was hit by more than a dozen boulders flying from the city. More than twenty Qiang soldier archers standing on the top of the earth mountain,
It immediately turned into a meat pie, and the earth on the top of the mountain was also hit by the flying rocks, causing a landslide. Hundreds of Qiang soldiers who were climbing up the inverse slope of the mountain did not even have time to turn around and escape.
, these clods of earth weighed heavily on them, and soon, a mountain of earth more than two feet high was weighing down more than 300 Qiang people, scattering them all over the ground.
There was a burst of cheers from the top of the city, and the bangs of the Xinping defenders resounded throughout the four cities: "Yao Chang, Yao Chang, all the Qiang thieves are dead! Yao Chang, Yao Chang, all the Qiang thieves are dead!"
