"Then, did you just swear so much?"
Xie Linlang shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It's just to cheer them up. Right now, the north and south are attacking, and the situation is bad, not only the people will be worried, 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 up is the best.
But I never put my eggs in one basket, so... we have to prepare our own way out. "
She lowered her voice and said to Xiaoxi, "Take a group of people to dig a tunnel to the west of the city wall. The west of Xiangcheng is a mountainous area. If they can't get around, no one will be surrounded. After you dig through the tunnel, don't make any noise. When the situation is really irreversible, we will abandon the city and leave, and everything here is gone..."
She said so, but letting her abandon the city is no less than cutting flesh!
How much effort did she pay for this city? How much sweat did the people in the city pay
There will never be another city established with such good preconditions as Xiangcheng, and no other city has such a good location as Xiangcheng!
If she surrendered, it would be impossible to get it back, then what was the point of her trying so hard to come here
So after she finished her instructions, she finally showed a hint of weakness and uncertainty in front of Xiaoxi, and she looked out the window, frowning and whispering.
"... Qin Jue ah 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 feeling distressed.
The son uses absolute confidence to establish faith for the people and for the soldiers, but who can establish faith for her? She can withstand all the pressure by herself, won't her shoulders sink
And abandoning the city is definitely the last resort. After all, the mountainous area in the west is full of poisonous miasma. If the rebels detect it in advance and block it at the exit, they may not escape the blockage if they leave the city.
But these young masters didn't say it, not because he couldn't think of it, but because he didn't want to make him feel so stressed.
The son is always so gentle, she comforts everyone, and among them, he naturally includes him...
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 to break the predicament this time, Xiaoxi will respect you as the son!

Soon, in just a day's time, the large army of the rebels arrived. Dong Jie came in a hurry and asked his subordinates as soon as he arrived.
"Can someone break through in Xiangcheng yesterday?"
The man replied, "No, everyone is in the city, no one broke through, and no one sneaked away through the Dongcheng Gate."
"very good."
Dong Gu squinted his eyes and looked at Xiang Cheng not far away. His originally hanging heart finally settled down.
The city gate of this city is taller and more stable than any city gate he has seen along the way. It seems that the man really did not lie to him. This city is very likely the birthplace of tin ware and tin diamonds. Hiding and not speaking, just want to make a lot of money in silence.
In fact, at the beginning, he did not intend to run so far south, after all, the main purpose of his uprising was to go all the way north!
Not to mention the capital city, Huaiyang and other places are also good. Those places are rich and prosperous, and once they have established a firm foothold, they can live a life of a superior man.
But later, the man's words touched him. Instead of going northward and going deep into the center of power, daily defending against being besieged by counterattacks, he might as well find a wealthy city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, enclose the land and proclaim himself emperor, 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 location, both offensive and defensive.
The most important thing is that the imperial court has never paid much attention to border cities. It is very likely that after he captures this place, the imperial court will give up attacking him. After all, it is not worthwhile to travel long distances and recruit people for the sake of a border town. Then he will have time to stabilize his power. .
...Because of all these advantages, he moved his determination to Xiangcheng! And this time, there are water bandits to help. There are only 5,000 water bandits. It would be good to get a piece of the pie at that time. How could they dare to rob him
The big head of this city is his!
Although he has the determination to win this battle, Dong Jie is a person with deep scheming and ruthlessness. When he came, he didn't do it directly, but waited for the water bandit to fire the first shot!
After the water bandits received news of the rebels, they really started to act!
They are not afraid to make wedding dresses for others. After all, the two rivers are the territory of the water bandits. Even if the rebels want to capture this place, it doesn't matter, but the big head must be theirs! Otherwise, they will harass them every day in the future, and no city will be able to bear this kind of consumption!
Of course, those are things to come later. The most important thing right now is to bite off this piece of fat first!
As soon as she heard that the water bandits began to attack the city, Xie Linlang knew that the rebels at the Beicheng Gate were about to move. She asked Huang Lao and the others to lead 3,000 elite soldiers and 5,000 civilians to guard there and not attack.
And she took the remaining officers, soldiers and people to the southern wall. There were still thousands of people in the city who kept making defensive tools for both sides. An extremely difficult defensive battle started!
The water bandits over there really had a plan. They knew that Xiangcheng had no big boats to attack, so they simply drove the boats to the shoal closest to the city wall, only a few dozen meters away from the wall, and lined up horizontally.
Everyone is waiting for the water bandits to swim over and kill the city gate, but Xie Linlang knows that they have been deployed for so long and it will not be so simple.
Sure enough, after the ship stopped, they collectively dropped the anchor, fixed the hull, and then launched a catapult, lined up neatly in a certain direction, towards the direction of the city wall!
"No, they're going to destroy the city wall!"
If it was the northern city wall, no one would panic, but the southern city 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, the wall would really collapse!
Xie Linlang watched their deployment and knew very well that this wall would definitely collapse, because these people used trebuchets very well.
They aim in the same direction, the stones they use are similar in size, and the position of the fuselage is fixed, and the force of each shot is the same, which ensures that their attack points will be relatively concentrated.
No wonder they sneaked a boat over to test the distance before, so it was to facilitate the destruction of the city wall
In the next second, all the trebuchets on the big ship will be fired!
The boulder smashed over like a meteor and hit the wall, making a heavy muffled sound!
In this case, Xie Linlang would definitely not lead someone to resist, she shouted.
"Everyone hide, be careful to be stoned!"
Asked Ru Nian who came to help, "What about the wall that was attacked?!"
Xie Linlang looked at the boulders flying all over the sky, and flashes of light flashed in her eyes.
"Since they are going to smash, let them smash! I want to see how many stones they can have on the boat!"
