"Jiang Qianha! I have just come to your place for the first time. I don't know many things yet. I hope Jiang Qianha will introduce the situation here to me first?" Gao Huaiyuan looked at the soldiers and generals whispering around him and couldn't say anything.

So, he stepped out of the queue and asked Jiang Fang, who had a worried look on his face.

"Oh! What Gao County Lieutenant asked is extremely, this is Jiang's lack of consideration! To be honest, the situation in Huangzhou is not very good at the moment! Our garrison is too weak, and now the 600 warriors you lead are only a mere

There are more than 2,000 people, but this time the Jin soldiers exceeded 30,000 people, which is more than ten times the number of troops in our city.

Although the Huaidong Army is rushing here, the water from far away cannot quench their thirst. I am afraid that before they can get here, the Jin Army has already arrived at the city. Jiang is worried about this matter at the moment. I don’t know whether Gao County Lieutenant can

What's there

Gao Huaiyuan?" Jiang Fang saw Gao Huaiyuan, the newcomer, coming out to ask questions, so he hurriedly briefly introduced the situation to Gao Huaiyuan, and asked Gao Huaiyuan for advice. He was obviously a little panicked and went to seek medical treatment if he was sick.

.

Gao Huaiyuan felt a little numb when he heard it. More than two thousand versus more than thirty thousand, this number is really too disparate! What's more, the one who came to attack Huangzhou this time was Hua San Anzhen, the elite division of the Jin Army.

The Mao Army, with their small strength, can imagine how difficult it is to defend Huangzhou City!

Regarding Jiang Fang's question about him, Gao Huaiyuan, a newcomer, had nothing to do, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to ask: "Jiang Qianji, please forgive Gao for being offended. Gao wants to ask, besides us, in the city,

In addition to soldiers and horses, are there still people and horses available? In addition, are there any soldiers and horses available in nearby towns?"

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's inquiry, Jiang Fang hurriedly replied: "The total number of local households in Huangzhou is only a few thousand. I have just sent people to recruit all the young and strong people in Huangzhou City and send them to assist the defenders.

To guard the city, it is estimated that we can still collect

There are more than a thousand people strong, but at most they can only help with some small help and are not of much use! And there are not many available soldiers around Huangzhou now. It seems that Huangzhou is in danger this time!" When talking about this, Jiang Fang

There was a look of despair on his face.

After Gao Huaiyuan listened to Jiang Fang's introduction, he immediately ran out of ideas. He knew that the situation here was dangerous before he came, but he did not expect that it would be so dangerous. Zhao Fang did not send him to make contributions. It was simply

It was like pushing him into a pit of fire. With their small number of troops, it was basically impossible to defend Huangzhou.

The lobby of the government office was now in a mess. Everyone was discussing how to defend themselves against the enemy, but after discussing for a long time, no solution was found. Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but feel even more worried.

Because at this glance, he realized that Jiang Qianjia was not actually a serious soldier, but a civilian official with basically no combat experience, and the garrison officers here basically had nothing to do with him.

My experience is that when I encounter such a crisis, I feel a little panicked.

For such a group of people, when facing an enemy force ten times their size, it would be child's play to block the Jin army. If the defenders here cannot increase in large numbers within a short period of time, then Huangzhou will probably be in danger.

.

Listening to these people discussing and discussing, they couldn't come up with any solution. On the contrary, everyone was panicking. Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but become a little impatient. This time he came to Huangzhou, which was considered unlucky. If he allowed these people to keep going like this,

If so, before they could figure out a way, Huangzhou City would have been captured by the Jin soldiers!

Therefore, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but come out again and said loudly: "Everyone, please listen to the next words! It can be said that it will not help if everyone continues to argue like this. Gao is not talented. He used to follow Lord Meng in Zaoyang and served as a guard.

The general and others have dealt with the Jin army. According to Gao, everyone should first mobilize the people in the city as much as possible, reinforce the city wall as soon as possible, and prepare various defensive equipment!

Although the Jin army came with force this time, they made rapid progress and did not carry too many siege equipment. If we work together, we may not be able to defend Huangzhou City!

Moreover, before Gao crossed the river, Mr. Zhao had informed Gao that the army from the direction of Xiangyang was now heading here, and the armies from Huaidong and Jinghu Road had also marched towards this area. As long as we can hold on for a while,

In time, we will definitely be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and the Jin army will naturally retreat by then!

From the following point of view, we should act as soon as possible and do what we can first. Since Gao is already here, I hope Jiang Qianha can tell me to join the city defense as soon as possible, so that we still have some time to prepare!

"

When Gao Huaiyuan came out and spoke loudly, the lobby of the government office suddenly became quiet. Everyone turned their attention to Gao Huaiyuan. Just now, they didn't pay much attention to the new Daye County captain, but now Gao Huaiyuan

After Huaiyuan said these words, they couldn't help but start to look at the young county captain in front of them again.

Especially after hearing Gao Huaiyuan talk about how he once worked under Meng Zongzheng and Hu Zaixing, Jiang Fang seemed to suddenly have a backbone. He quickly stood up and asked: "What Gao County Lieutenant said, did he really serve in the army in Zaoyang before?"

Official now

We are short of manpower like you. You came just in time! Everyone, I heard that today is an urgent matter. We can only do what Gao County Lieutenant said first. I have temporarily appointed Gao County Lieutenant to be my deputy.

I wonder if Gao Xianwei has any other good plans?"

When Gao Huaiyuan heard this, he thought it was good. He immediately became Jiang Fang's deputy. This official was promoted very quickly. No one used him as food just now. Now he has become the backbone of Huangzhou City! This Jiang Fang

Fang was really sick and sought medical treatment indiscriminately! But that's fine. It's also a good thing for him that he can enter the decision-making level of Huangzhou City. It's safer than letting mediocre people command him.

So Gao Huaiyuan did not refuse, and immediately bowed to thank Jiang Fang, accepted the job, and then said: "Thank you very much for Jiang Qian's consideration, Gao is disrespectful! Now that Gao is here newly, for

We don’t understand the situation in the city yet, and we can’t come up with any good solutions. It would be better to let me patrol around the city first, and then make suggestions for Jiang Qian. I wonder what Jiang Qian’s intention is?”

Although the other people were somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Fang's appointment, they were all restless at the moment and were too lazy to fight for power with Gao Huaiyuan, so they approved the appointment and Gao Huaiyuan became the deputy general of Huangzhou City.

Seeing that it was getting late, there would be no results if such discussions continued. So Jiang Fang had to order the government officials to disband. First, according to Gao Huaiyuan's suggestion, he sent people to recruit all the people in Huangzhou City and sent them separately to the city wall to strengthen the city wall.

The 600 rural soldiers led by Gao Huaiyuan were assigned to the east gate of Huangzhou City, responsible for taking over and defending the east city wall. This was regarded as giving Gao Huaiyuan's soldiers and horses an errand.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Gao Huaiyuan did not dare to rest. He immediately arranged for Zhou Hao to bring 600 rural soldiers to the east gate of the city, took over the defense there, and organized the defense of the city wall in groups and sections. Jiang Fang was also sitting in the government office.

If you don't stay, I will personally take Gao Huaiyuan on a tour of the city.

Since Gao Huaiyuan was here and his life was at stake, he did not refuse. He followed Jiang Fang and carefully inspected the city. It was not until the light of the night that he had a general understanding of the situation in Huangzhou City!

After looking at Huangzhou City's city defense preparations, Gao Huaiyuan became even more worried. What was different from what he thought before coming was that although it had been known here that the Jin Army was heading south, Jiang Fang had underestimated the Jin Army's incoming force.

The preparation work can be said to be very inadequate, and it can even be said that basically nothing useful has been done.

If Huangzhou City continues like this, I am afraid that the Jin army will be able to capture Huangzhou City in less than two days when they get here. Gao Huaiyuan was really frightened.

And Jiang Fang could be said to have been frightened to death. As he walked around with Gao Huaiyuan, he seemed very impatient and wanted to direct everything down to the smallest detail. As a result, it became even more chaotic.

Gao Huaiyuan had no choice but to end the inspection and dragged Jiang Fang back to the government office. At this point, Gao Huaiyuan no longer cared whether Jiang Fang was happy or not. After asking Jiang Fang to remove his attendants, Gao Huaiyuan immediately handed over to Jiang Fang.

Fang said: "Jiang Qianqi, please forgive Gao for speaking bluntly. Today I will follow you to see the city."

After encountering the situation, Gao was really worried, because from what Gao saw, if the situation continued, Huangzhou City would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Jin soldiers! The final result would be destruction of the city and death! Gao was offended by what he said.

I wonder if Jiang Qianxia is willing to continue listening?"

After Jiang Fang heard this, he was immediately surprised and said: "What did Gao Xianwei say? But haven't I done enough? If Gao Xianwei has something to say, he might as well say it directly. Jiang also knows that he is not a person who is good at using troops. Today,

I rely on Gao County Lieutenant for most of my affairs.

We can work harder! At this point, we should work together. Gao County Lieutenant can just say it!" He had no idea now. How could he care about whether Gao Huaiyuan's words were pleasant or not? So he hurriedly asked Gao Huaiyuan to speak.

Huaiyuan continued.

Gao Huaiyuan saw that Jiang Fang was not a willful person at this point and knew where his own weaknesses were. In this case, things would be easier to handle, so he lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said to Jiang Fang: "

Since Jiang Qianhao doesn't care if Gao Mou speaks harshly, then Gao Mou will speak out!

Judging from the current defense situation of Huangzhou City, it can basically be said that it is full of loopholes. The Huangzhou defenders are already insufficient in strength, but currently the defenders have not been deployed uniformly, but are concentrated in the south camp of the city. If anything happens, the defenders will

The army needs to pass through the city and defend on the four walls. This will delay a lot of time and cannot effectively dispatch troops and horses to deal with the Jin army's attack on the city. This is the biggest problem in Huangzhou's city defense at the moment.

Furthermore, the south of Huangzhou city faces water, and our army is defended by naval forces on the river. Even if the Jin army besieges the city, it cannot attack Huangzhou from the south of the city. Therefore, the defenders in the south of the city can basically be said to be useless, and they are already stretched thin.

It is undoubtedly a huge waste for the soldiers! This is the second reason!

The Jin army may attack the city at any time, but the bows and arrows and other defensive equipment in the city have not been transported to the city wall in large quantities to prepare for the defense, and the city gate has not been reinforced. Once it is used, making preparations will not help.

These are the three hidden dangers that have laid the foundation for the city to fall in the future!

The three gates in the Northeast and West are still opened and closed on time, and no checkpoints have been set up to check for spies. Once the spies of the Jin Army sneak into the city, and when the time comes to attack the city, once the spies in the city cooperate with each other, Huangzhou City will immediately be in chaos, and it will only be a matter of time before it falls.

!This is the fourth one!

Also, Xianguan saw today that the people in the city were not ready to accompany the defenders. They were still busy on their own, and even left the city to take refuge. Once the news of the Jin army's arrival spread, the people poured out of Huangzhou.

This will make the city's guards even more scarce in manpower. This is five of them!

If the above five items cannot be solved as soon as possible, I dare to say that Huangzhou will definitely not be able to withstand the fierce attack of the Jin soldiers. Therefore, Jiang Qian is asked to adjust the current defense forces as soon as possible to solve these problems so that Huangzhou can fight! Otherwise!

Otherwise, once the Jin soldiers arrive, it will be too late to solve the problem!" Gao Huaiyuan bluntly pointed out several important things that Jiang Fang had not done well at the moment.

After Jiang Fang heard this, he was suddenly shocked and broke into a cold sweat. He had done a lot of things these days, but in the eyes of an expert like Gao Huaiyuan, it was all in vain. Fortunately, Gao Huaiyuan, an expert, was in time.

Come here, otherwise, Huangzhou may really be captured by the Jin army in one fell swoop.

"It turns out that I still have so many flaws. So from what Gao County Lieutenant sees, what should we do now?" Jiang Fang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Although he was a little unhappy, he still felt it.

asked Gao Huaiyuan.

"Without further ado, if you want to stop the Jin soldiers from attacking the city, you can't waste any more time now. Although there are not many defenders in the city at the moment, I have observed that the most vulnerable part of Huangzhou City to the Jin army's attack is

On both sides of the North Gate and East Gate, the terrain outside the North Gate is flat, suitable for the Jin army to deploy its troops, while the east gate has a narrow moat and water channel, which is also easy for the Jin army to take advantage of!

As for the South Gate, which is where Linjiang Water Gate and the wharf are located, the Jin Army has no ships, so there is basically no threat to the South Gate. However, to prevent the Jin Army from sneaking in here, only a small number of village warriors can be left behind to guard it. The West Gate just came down to watch

After passing there, there are many ravines in the terrain outside the city. It is difficult for the Jin army to launch an attack, let alone use large equipment. It is easy for our army to defend but difficult to attack, so we can also deploy a small number of defenders.

In this way, we can invest most of our troops at the North Gate and East Gate, which can alleviate the serious shortage of troops in our army." At this time, Gao Huaiyuan turned around and stood in front of a map of Huangzhou hanging on the wall.

, pointed at the map and said to Jiang Fang.

After Jiang Fang heard this, he had to nod to express his admiration, because he had been here for a long time, but Gao Huaiyuan, a newcomer, had not seen clearly how to deploy defenses, which made him feel a little ashamed.

So he nodded in agreement and gradually began to calm down a little.

Gao Huaiyuan saw that Jiang Fang did not raise any objection, so he continued: "Thank you for your trust, sir. Then I will continue to say it! Time is not waiting for us now. It can be said that the Jin army may attack Huangzhou City at any time. Sir, please deploy your troops immediately. We are stationed up and down the city wall, ready to counterattack at any time. Fortunately, the materials prepared by your Excellency during this period are relatively sufficient. As long as a large number of bows, arrows, rolling wood, kerosene, cannon stones and other materials are transported to the city wall as soon as possible, the army will surely be able to fight back. The officers and soldiers of the middle and lower ranks dare to defend with their lives. Even if the Jin soldiers are outnumbered, it will be very difficult to capture Huangzhou City in one time!

Furthermore, for the defense on the city wall, you must ensure that the responsibility is assigned to each person. Each section of the city wall must strictly designate the responsible person, and troops must not be dispatched on the spot, so that every soldier knows where his fighting position is! Only in this way can the generals and officers of the army remain calm in the face of battle!

In addition to these, Your Excellency is most familiar with the ground in Huangzhou. As soon as possible, you will gather all the people who can be used in the city. All men aged from fourteen to fifty years old will be mobilized. While checking whether there are any spies in the city, you will also mobilize them. Each city wall is divided into sections, and they are responsible for the material support of a section of the city wall. At the same time, they are provided with weapons when necessary, and they jointly defend the city. In this way, I feel that there is no problem in adding thousands of soldiers!

In addition, there are still some craftsmen in the city. Gather them together and build various defensive objects as soon as possible, such as wolf fangs, artillery carts, etc., which will play a very important role in resisting the Jin army's siege!

Even women have to do what they can. They can be responsible for boiling water, cooking, and treating the wounded. As long as the whole city is mobilized, and only in this way, the soldiers and people of Huangzhou City work together, the lower officials think that Huangzhou City will not necessarily be destroyed by the Jin army! "

Although Jiang Fang has no ability, he is still a dignified official. Now he finally understands that he is not the material to command the war. Fortunately, at this time, Zhao Fang sent him Gao Huaiyuan in time, so that he could He was like a drowning man who suddenly grabbed a handful of life-saving straw. After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's clear and logical arrangements, Jiang Fang immediately stood up and said: "Everything will be arranged according to what Gao County Lieutenant said. Jiang thanked Gao County Lieutenant for his advice." Come on! It seems that we will have to rely more on Gao Xian Lieutenant to coordinate the imperial guard affairs in the future, so I will gather my subordinates to make arrangements!"

At this critical moment, Jiang Fang was very kind to Gao Huaiyuan's suggestion and immediately agreed. Without resting all night, he summoned the officers and officials in the city together and began to arrange various matters.

Naturally, Gao Huaiyuan stood beside Jiang Fang and kept giving him various reminders. As a result, Huangzhou City's city defense dispatching basically began to work in a positive direction, and the city suddenly became lively.

Under the guidance of Gao Huaiyuan, Jiang Fang divided the soldiers and horses in the city into several waves and stationed them on each city wall. According to Gao Huaiyuan's instructions, he also deployed nearly 500 people to serve as the central army, which was actually a reserve force. Be prepared to support the defenders of the city wall at any time in critical moments.dd
