Chapter 85: Let the stone fly for a while

"So, then you just swore so much?"
Xie Linlang shook her head and said with a bitter smile, "It's just to cheer them up. Right now, the situation is bad. Not only the people will worry, but they are also the same.
And they are all Qin Jue's people, Qin Jue is their inner belief, so using Qin Jue to cheer them is the best.
But I never put eggs in a basket, so...we have to prepare a way out ourselves. "
She lowered her voice and said to Xiao Xi, "You take a group of people to dig a tunnel to the west of the city wall. The west of Xiangcheng is a mountainous area. They can't go around and there will be no one to encircle you. After you dig the tunnel, don't say anything. When the situation is really irreversible, we abandon the city and leave. Everything here is gone..."
She said so, but letting her abandon the city is no less than cutting meat!
How much effort did she put into this city? How much sweat did the people in the city put in?
There will never be a city to be established, with such a good prerequisite for Xiangcheng, and no other city will have such a good location as Xiangcheng!
If she gave in and wanted to get it back, it would be impossible, so what's the point of coming here with all her heart?
So after she finished giving orders, she finally showed a trace of weakness and uncertainty in front of Xiaoxi, and saw her looking out the window and muttering with her eyebrows.
"...Qin Jue, Qin Jue, this time, you must arrive in time..."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and went out.
And Xiaoxi looked at her back and couldn't help but feel distressed.
The son uses absolute self-confidence to establish beliefs for the people and for the soldiers, but who can establish beliefs for her? She withstood all the pressure alone, wouldn't her shoulders sink?
Moreover, abandoning the city is definitely the last resort. After all, there are poisonous miasma in the mountains to the west. If the rebels detect them in advance and stop them at the exit, they may not have escaped the blockage if they leave the city.
But none of these princes said, not because they were unexpected, but because they didn't want to make him feel so stressed.
The son is always so gentle, and she comforts everyone. Of those people, naturally he is included...
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pray silently in his heart.
Your Highness, Your Highness, you must arrive in time! As long as you can help the son break the predicament this time, from then on, Xiao Xi will respect you as a son!
Soon, within a day's work, a large army of rebels arrived, and Dong Kui came over and asked his subordinates as soon as he came.
"Can someone break through in Xiangcheng yesterday?"
The man replied, "No, everyone is in the city, no one breaks through, and no one sneaks away through the east gate."
"well."
Dong Gu squinted his eyes, and looked at Xiang Cheng not far away. His originally hanging heart finally fell.
The gates of this city are taller and more stable than any gate he saw along the way. It seems that the man really didn’t lie to him. This city is probably the birthplace of tin tools and tin diamonds. Keep silent, just want to make a lot of money in silence.
In fact, at the beginning, he didn't intend to run this far south, after all, the main purpose of his uprising was to go all the way north!
Not to mention entering the capital, or invading Huaiyang and other places, those places are rich, once they have a firm foothold, they can live the life of a master.
But later, the man’s words touched him. Instead of going north to the center of power and defending against being counterattacked every day, he might as well find an easy-to-defend, hard-to-attack, and affluent city, enclosing the land and proclaiming himself as the emperor of the earth, and then slowly develop power.
And Xiangcheng is such an excellent choice, it not only has a secret industry to make a lot of money! It also has an excellent geographical location, both offensive and defensive.
The most important thing is that the court has never valued the border city. It is very likely that after he takes this place, the court will give up attacking him. After all, it is not worthwhile to travel long distances and build up the teacher for a border city. Then he has time to stabilize the power. Up.
...Because of this kind of benefits, he moved to Xiang Cheng with a determination to win! And this time there are water bandits to help. There are no more than 5,000 water bandits. It would be nice to get a share of the pie at that time. Where would you dare to him?
The big head of this city is his!
Although he was determined to win this battle, Dong Kui was a man with a deep heart and a cruel plan. He didn't do it directly when he came, but waited for the water bandits to fire the first shot!
After receiving the news from the rebels, the water bandits started to act!
They are not afraid to make wedding dresses for others. After all, Liangjiang is the site of water bandits. It doesn't matter if the rebels want to take this place, but the bulk must be theirs! Otherwise, they will be harassed day after day, and no city will be able to sustain the consumption!
Of course, those are the things that come later. The most important thing right now is to bite off this piece of fat first!
As soon as the water bandits started to attack the city, Xie Linlang knew that the rebels at the North City Gate were also moving. She asked Huang Lao and the others to lead three thousand elite soldiers and five thousand people to guard there, only defending but not attacking.
And she took the remaining officers, soldiers and people to the South Wall, and there were thousands of people in the city constantly making defensive tools for both sides, and an extremely difficult defensive battle started!
Sure enough, the water bandits over there had planned for a long time. They knew that Xiangcheng had no big ship to attack, so they simply drove the ship to the shallows closest to the city wall, only a few tens of meters away from the wall, and lined up horizontally.
Everyone was waiting for the water bandits to swim over and kill the city gate, but Xie Linlang knew that they had been deployed for so long and it would not be so simple.
Sure enough, after the ship stopped, they collectively dropped the anchor, fixed the hull, and then launched a trebuchet, neatly arranged in a certain direction, toward the direction of the city wall!
"No, they plan to destroy the city wall!"
If it was the northern wall, everyone would not panic, but the southern wall was in disrepair for a long time, and the position they attacked was the weakest position they found. If they were allowed to smash it, the wall would really collapse!
Looking at their deployment, Xie Linlang knew that this wall would definitely collapse, because these people used trebuchets very well.
They aimed at the same direction, the stones used were similar in size, and the position of the fuselage was fixed, and the force of each launch was the same. This ensured that their attack points would be relatively concentrated.
No wonder they had to sneak a boat to test the distance before, so it was to destroy the city wall?
In the next second, all the trebuchets on the big ship will be launched!
The boulder smashed over like a meteor, hitting the wall, making a heavy muffled noise!
Under this circumstance, Xie Linlang would definitely not lead people to resist, she shouted.
"Everyone hides, be careful of being hit by a stone!"
The Confucian scholar who followed to help asked, "What about the wall that was attacked?!"
Xie Linlang looked at the huge boulders flying in the sky, flashing light in her eyes.
"Since they want to smash, let them smash! I want to see how many rocks they can have on board!"
