Chapter 84: Wait for a change

Because Xie Linlang never showed a trace of timidity, everyone did not panic when he heard this news at first.
She is like a pin of Dinghai Shen, both heavy and stable, and will never let anyone down!
She asked everyone to continue their work and the leader of the elite soldiers to continue training their soldiers and horses, and then took Huang Lao and others to the government office to discuss countermeasures.
At first, Mr. Huang thought that Xie Linlang had received some good news, so he said that, but didn't want to. Xie Linlang gave him the paper ball. He opened it, and it just said that the rebels went south, intending to take Xiangcheng. News.
In this era, the transmission of information is extremely slow, even if it is the flying pigeons, the news is delayed...
This made Boss Huang shocked. He thought that reinforcements were coming, but only this?
"This..." He didn't know what to say.
Xie Linlang sat on a chair in the study, leaning back, "No way, the bad news just came, if I don't show confidence, then the city will be over."
As she said, she put her feet on the desk, closed her eyes and started thinking attentively.
Originally there were only water bandits, and her preparations were enough now, but the rebels suddenly besieged the city and caught her by surprise.
This Lian Ke really has grown. Is it because he secretly told the leader of the rebel army after he learned about Xiang Cheng's secret, so that Dong Gu led people south?
That should be the case, otherwise Lian Ke would not send a boat around Wangjiang to pick them up across the river.
He first used the water bandits to harass the southern wall, focusing all their attention on the south, and then secretly colluded with the rebels to help them cross the river, and quickly besieged the city when they were not paying attention. I have to say that this strategy is very good!
The sound is hitting the west, the north-south flanking, so much effort and effort, really makes her a little embarrassed...
After a while, Mr. Liu, the Year of Confucianism, and several more important masters under Xie Linlang came, and Xiaoxi served them tea one by one, but the atmosphere in the study was really heavy.
Old Huang touched his beard and said worriedly, "What should we do now? Although we recruit soldiers outside, we can't go out of the city to report in this situation. If we send a pigeon to inform Your Highness that the pigeon has been caught by the rebels, they know Your Royal Highness is rushing back, maybe he will set up an ambush to catch him."
Mr. Liu calculated an account,
If it’s just guarding the city, there is water in the city, and it’s okay to stick with food for a month or two. It’s just that the people who sent out Xiangcheng to hide in the mountains may not be able to hold on for that long. Ways to inform them, if it takes too long, they will be messed up."
Xiaoxi said embarrassingly, "My son, we don’t have enough weapons. The iron tools in the city are scarce. Even if they are fully melted, they can’t make many swords. Moreover, it’s too late to make swords. Take farm tools to fight the rebels, right?"
Xie Linlang reached out and knocked on the table, then opened his eyes.
"We defend the city and don't confront the rebels head-on. Since the opponent has more than 30,000 people, then we will press the main battle force at the northern gate. In any case, we must not let them in."
Fortunately, the northern gate was only repaired. It was tall and stable. It wasn't that easy for the enemy to break the city. The only weapon in their hands was Qin Jue's people, so this northern gate could only be guarded by them.
"I will take the young people in the city to guard the south wall. There is no way to enter the south wall. You just need to guard against the water bandits on the wall, and you don't need swords or weapons. A boulder and a log are enough."
Xie Linlang's arrangement like this is also reasonable, but...
Old Huang frowned and asked, "It's just that we can't keep defending, right? It's okay for a short time. If we have a long time, how can we resist both attacks at the same time? Once there is a breach of the north and the south, the people in the city... …"
Xie Linlang smiled softly, "Next, I can only do my job and obey the destiny. I can deal with the water bandits in the southern city, but we can only defend the land battle in the northern city. After all, when the equipment and the number of people are invincible, I It is impossible to let people go out to die.
But you don't need to be too discouraged, things may turn around. "
"Transfer?"
Xie Linlang nodded, "Presumably everyone has seen the letter from Qin Jue. Since Qin Jue has insight into the intentions of the rebels, it is impossible for him to do nothing. After all, you are all his death. Loyalty, even for you, he will not sit idly by."
"Master Xie meant that His Royal Highness would bring people over? But those recruited were only recruits, and even if they were all transferred, the number would not be as good as the rebels."
Xie Linlang heard the words and asked sideways, "How many people are there in the full transfer?"
Old Huang was stunned for a moment, "About five thousand."
Xie Linlang couldn't help but raised her eyebrows, "It seems that you are very rich...In less than a year, you have gathered so many people in your hand?"
She has never given Qin Jue any money. It seems that the kid has a big secret behind her?
"This..." Huang Lao staggered his eyes a little embarrassedly, and stopped talking.
"Forget it." Xie Linlang curled her lips and smiled, "Five thousand is enough. After all, those five thousand people came from the rebel army. They want to attack Xiangcheng from the north to the south. We can also use their own way to treat them. Body! As long as Qin Jue can lead people to arrive in time, then this game will be broken!"
"But if... Your Highness does not arrive in time?"
Elder Huang was a little worried, "His Royal Highness rushed back from the capital, and now he doesn't know where he is, and he doesn't know that there are still water bandits to the south. What if he only brings some elites over in a hurry? There is still no solution!"
Xie Linlang shook his head and looked at him with a mysterious tone.
"Although Qin Jue is still young, you should believe him, believe in his choice, and believe in his judgment. He is a person who can survive the pain of separation and dying, such a firm-minded and unyielding person. How could you disappoint me?"
When she said this, she paused, her tone extremely firm.
"I believe that he will bring people there in time! And we, as long as we persist until he comes!"
She said so loudly that everyone immediately settled down a lot. Also, they still have a trump card outside the situation in their hands. As long as the battle situation changes, it is not a dead end, and they, as long as they persist until the change comes!
Seeing this, Xie Linlang gave a number of instructions in one breath. Everyone looked forward to her head and took the order. After all of them were gone, Xiao Xi asked with some worry.
"Shall we press Bao Quan on His Highness? His Highness is Cong Rui, but he doesn't know the situation in the city, so how can he make the most correct judgment?"
Xie Linlang's eyes were firm, "Press! But half pressure, we have to plan ourselves."
