Jiang Fan did not deliberately hide the news that the Liu family had assembled an army of 300,000 to attack Heyang.
It is only through the Beggar Gang that some panic emotions in Heyang City are regulated and controlled.
For normal people in this era, three hundred thousand is undoubtedly a very scary number.
In particular, they all knew that the Heyang garrison only numbered ten thousand people.
Three hundred thousand versus ten thousand, in the face of such a huge disparity in numbers, no normal person would think that He Yang could resist.
So in this situation, it is very natural to have panic.
But Jiang Fan wanted to control the spread of panic and at the same time enhance the people of Heyang's confidence in the defenders.
Otherwise, if an army of 300,000 people pressed down on the border, there would be no need to launch an attack at all, and the people of Heyang themselves would collapse first under the influence of huge panic.
But even so, the people of Heyang still felt heavy.
The huge disparity in military power cannot be smoothed over by just shouting a few slogans.
Now, the Liu family's army is close at hand and may appear outside Heyang City at any time. Naturally, the people of Heyang are more likely to have random thoughts.
However, in Jiang Fan's view, this is a huge opportunity!
Under such circumstances, leading hundreds of representatives of the Heyang people to the city tower and letting them witness with their own eyes that the Liu family's army of 300,000 people was defeated by a hundred people from the Lin family, then these Heyang people would naturally have a different attitude towards Jiang due to the huge contrast in their thinking.
Where the troops under his command produce blind confidence!
From now on, no matter how powerful the enemy is, the people of Heyang will never be flustered or worried!
He led a hundred representatives all the way to the tower of the main city gate of Heyang.
In order to withstand siege engines, towers were built on these walls with only a few dense holes left.
The holes can be used to observe the enemy's situation, and can also become an archery tower for archers to prepare for shooting.
This is a relatively conventional city wall. In some battlegrounds, during the construction process of the city wall, the wall will even be hollowed out to create a space for troops to be stationed inside the city wall, and then holes will be left in the wall.
Once a city defense battle breaks out, the troops stationed in the inner space of the city wall can directly use their spears through the holes to kill the enemy soldiers who climb the city wall.
As a great city in the world and the core of the Northern Territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Heyang's main task is naturally not a military fortress.
Therefore, the construction of the city wall was mainly based on solidity, thickness, and grandeur, but there were not so many twists and turns in the design.
"Master Jiang, why are there so few defenders on our city wall?"
After entering the tower, an old man looked at the Lin family members, who were at most about a hundred on the walls on both sides of his sight, and asked hesitantly.
"Because to deal with the Liu family's 300,000 private troops, we don't need many people. Don't forget, I once told you that all powerful families are paper tigers. Do you think... I am just talking?"
Jiang Fan said with a smile.
The old man couldn't help but froze for a moment. After looking at Jiang Fan's expression and confirming that Jiang Fan was not joking, the corner of the old man's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
My Lord Jiang, don’t you really believe it yourself?
Even if you are a paper tiger, these three hundred thousand paper tigers can crush you to death!
Just relying on the garrison on the city wall, which seems to be about a hundred people at most, not to mention Liu's 300,000 troops will definitely attack crazily. If they stand still and let you kill them casually, then even if they are more than a hundred
The defenders were exhausted, how many more could they kill?
One thousand or two thousand?
Although he thought Jiang Fan might be suffering from mental illness, the old man did not dare to question him face to face.
After an anxious emotion appeared on his face, he instinctively turned his head to look at Su Meiniang.
At this moment, Su Meiniang was also in a state of shock.
But compared to other people's representatives, Su Meiniang has an extra advantage, that is, she already trusts Jiang Fan 100%.
So as long as what Jiang Fan said, no matter how incredible it sounded, Su Meiniang would first choose to believe it, and then wait for Jiang Fan to create a miracle.
This is also the case now.
Finding that several people's representatives she knew nearby were all looking at her, Su Meiniang thought for a while and said: "Since Mr. Jiang said so, let's wait and see. I believe Mr. Jiang will never do anything illegal.
Things to be sure of. So since Mr. Jiang thinks that about a hundred people are enough to deal with Liu's 300,000 troops, then they will definitely be able to deal with it! No matter how unbelievable it is, it will definitely be achieved! Miracles will always be created, isn't this what we want
Is it the reason why Mr. Jiang has so much trust?"
Jiang Fan was a little surprised. After looking at Su Meiniang, he gave Su Meiniang a very gentle smile.
Seeing this smile made Su Meiniang's heart beat wildly and her face turned red.
The other people's representatives looked at each other, but for a while they had nothing to say.
At this moment, the tower suddenly trembled slightly, and everyone subconsciously followed the holes in the tower to look out of the city. Then they saw a dark mass of people, instantly filling the entire sight!
The flags are densely covered, covering the sky and the sun!
Three hundred thousand people gathered together. Although the formation looked very scattered, the boundless formation was enough to cause terrifying pressure!
Su Meiniang's confidence in Jiang Fan finally wavered.
There are really too many enemies!
All this time, Su Meiniang was just the shopkeeper of a silk shop. The biggest scene she had ever seen was the day when Jiang Fan gave a speech, when hundreds of thousands of people gathered together.
Subconsciously swallowing, Su Meiniang felt herself trembling slightly.
Turning his head to look at Jiang Fan, he found that Jiang Fan had a confident smile on his face and seemed not to notice the 300,000 Liu family's army in front of him at all.
Su Meiniang forced herself to remain calm, but as the 300,000-strong army gradually approached, this calmness became increasingly fragile.
The other party seemed to have no intention of setting up camp.
Although the army was coming from afar, which made the whole army look quite tired, the huge numerical advantage still gave the leaders of Liu's army full of confidence.
Not only did he have no intention of setting up camp, but he even seemed to have no idea of dividing his troops to surround Heyang City!
Especially as the distance got closer, the leaders of Liu's army discovered that there were very few defenders on the wall facing them!
Without any hesitation, the leader of Liu's army didn't even plan to rest and recuperate, and directly waved the order to attack the city!
For a moment, the war drums were thunderous and the shouts of killing were loud.
All the people's representatives were so frightened by the scene in front of them that their faces turned pale.
Su Meiniang's composure was completely shattered, and a look of panic appeared on her face.
While watching helplessly that Liu's army had rushed to a distance of about ten meters outside the city wall, and even the ferocious expressions on the faces of the soldiers could be clearly seen, a huge roar suddenly sounded in Su Meiniang's ears.
