Chapter 1102: The Situation Is Grim

I will sleep in the city!

Zhu Ping'an's miraculous operation deeply shocked and infected the people who fled in front of the city gate, and gave them a strong tranquilizer.

The news that the county magistrate laid a floor on the city wall and swore to live and die with the county soon spread throughout Jingnan County. The panicked atmosphere that had always shrouded the sky over Jingnan was instantly dispelled.

So...... There is still fear......

"Lord Zhixian, please, please order the city gate to be opened and let us flee out of the city. Master, I'll kowtow to you, open the city gate, and let me take my mother out of the city to escape. ”

"Lord Zhixian, if you want to live and die with the county, you can live and die with the county, and we won't stop you, but you can't pull us up. I'm timid, I don't want to die yet, I don't want to live and die with the county. ”

"Lord Zhixian, my old woman has kowtowed to you, please order the city gate to be opened quickly. If you don't open the gates, I won't be able to kneel down for a long time. ”

Although Zhu Ping'an was shocked and infected many people, there were still many people at the scene who requested, or it is more appropriate to use the words "coercion" and "demand", asking Zhu Ping'an to order the city gate to be opened and let them flee out of the city.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that I, Zhu Ping'an, don't let everyone flee out of the city, but that fleeing out of the city at this time is undoubtedly killing myself. The Japanese are burning and looting outside the city, and they are now assembling in the county seat, and now when they go out of the city, they will just hit the blade of the Japanese robbers...... At this time, staying in the city and relying on the city walls to defend is the best choice......"

Zhu Ping'an stood on the city wall and patiently explained to everyone that Zhu Ping'an's explanation was similar to Liu Dadao's previous explanation, after all, Liu Dadao's rhetoric at that time was also learned from Zhu Ping'an.

Like Liu Dadao's explanation, many of the panicked people at the scene who wanted to flee out of the city didn't buy it. They were bent on fleeing out of the city, but they didn't listen to Zhu Ping'an's explanation at all, and they didn't believe Zhu Ping'an's words.

If it was in normal times, Zhu Ping'an would definitely continue to do their ideological work patiently. However, today is different from usual, the Japanese invaders are about to attack the city, the situation is imminent, and it is very grim, and the current defensive situation of Jingnan County is not optimistic, Jingnan County is in danger, and Zhu Ping'an has no time to explain more to them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please get up. At this moment, the Japanese invaders are about to attack the city, and the city gate cannot be opened, I am responsible for the tens of thousands of people in the county, and I also ask my father and fellow villagers to forgive me. Zhu Ping'an apologized to the city.

Suddenly, there was a lot of scolding and crying under the city wall.

In order to prioritize the matter, Zhu Ping'an withstood the cries and scolding of the city and began to arrange the defense of Jingnan County.

Beginning to deploy the defense, Zhu Ping'an found that the defensive situation in Jingnan was far more severe than he imagined.

The first problem is that there are few people.

The main defensive force of Jingnan County is the county government and the soldiers defending the city. There are a total of 106 officials in three classes of officials in Jingnan County, but 23 people abandoned the city and fled with Li Dianshi, and there are only 83 officials left. There are a total of 80 soldiers defending the city in Jingnan County, but 12 people have escaped, and there are only 68 soldiers left to defend the city. In other words, there are a total of 151 people available in Jingnan County to defend the city.

Although it is not clear how many pirates plundered Jingnan, it is estimated that there were no less than 2,000 according to the scope of the ravages of the pirates.

There are 151 people on our side, and there are more than 2,000 Japanese people, and the ratio of strength between us and the enemy is close to 20 to 1. In addition, more than 2,000 people are outlaws who often see blood, and they are extremely cruel, and it is said that the real Japanese are even more powerful in martial arts; These 151 people on your own side ...... It's okay for the officials to catch petty thieves, it's really difficult for them to go to the battlefield, and the soldiers defending the city, at first glance, are in dispossession of armaments, lack of training, and have been hollowed out by wine, Zhu Ping'an really doesn't dare to report much hope for their combat effectiveness.

However, the current situation is like this, and Zhu Ping'an has no choice but to maximize their combat effectiveness.

In order to maximize their combat effectiveness. Zhu Ping'an issued three orders on the city wall with the county seal.

A heavy reward order. Zhu Ping'an issued a heavy reward order: all the officials and soldiers who bravely defended the city were rewarded with ten taels of silver each; Those who defend the city and are wounded will be rewarded with an additional ten taels of silver; Those who died defending the city will receive an additional fifty taels of bereavement. There must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, and Zhu Ping'an's heavy reward order has more than doubled the spirit of the officials and soldiers.

A beheading order. Zhu Ping'an appointed six people, including Liu Mu and Liu Dadao, as well as the other six officials selected, a total of 12 people, as the superintendents. Zhu Ping'an issued three orders to kill the head: the war supervisor first served the army, the soldiers retreated, and the battle officer was beheaded; The officials and soldiers do not listen to the command, and those who retreat from the battle will be beheaded by the war supervisor! No matter who dares to disobey military orders, there will be no mercy!

A arming order. Zhu Ping'an divided 151 people, every 30 people, into a total of 5 teams to defend the city, and arranged a team to defend the city at the east gate, south gate, and north gate, and two teams to guard the city at the west gate, and each team was ordered to support each other at any time.

The second problem is that the equipment for defending the city is slack.

First of all, there is no trench outside Jingnan County, and at this moment, time is in a hurry, and it is too late to dig a trench. As for thistles and other things that resist the enemy, there is none.

Second, there is a serious shortage of defensive weapons. There is not a single artillery, the catapults have long been scattered and decayed, and a few beds have been found in the armament warehouse, but they are in disrepair and most of them are unusable, only two beds can barely be used, and there are only more than 20 crossbow arrows that can be used. Zhu Ping'an commanded that all three beds were placed at the West City Gate. There are not many rolling logs, only eight, and the nail tools inlaid around the wood are also rusty, but they can still be used if polished. The wolf teeth commonly used to defend the city are afraid, and there is no one in Jingnan County.

Finally, there was not enough bow and arrow. In the county military arsenal, there are less than a hundred bows, and there are not many feather arrows.

The only good news is that there are quite a few standard sabers, spears and shields in the arsenal, which are enough to arm the military and soldiers, and there are still a lot left. In addition, there are some simple cloth cuirasses in the arsenal, although the defense is not very good, but after the servants and soldiers wear the cloth cuirasses, they give them a lot of comfort, their sense of security has increased a little bit, and they have a lot more courage.

Taking advantage of the fact that the large army of Japanese invaders had not yet arrived, Zhu Ping'an instructed the officials and soldiers to carry stones and giant trees to the city wall as defensive weapons, and some people also volunteered to join in and carried a large number of stones and giant trees to the city wall.

In addition to these, Zhu Ping M. An also carefully prepared a "gluttonous delicacy" for the Japanese Kou: golden juice.

Zhu Ping'an asked people to go to a nearby house to collect an infinite amount of feces and urine, and set up more than 30 cauldrons on the city wall, boiling the fecal and urine mixture all the time and boiling it until it boiled.

It is no exaggeration to say that the power and lethality of this "delicacy" are much higher than those of other defensive weapons on the city walls.

This is the category of biological weapons.

It was a hot autumn day, and the pirates were stumbling again, and the gold juice was boiling and poured, enough to burn the pirates. Once burned, the bacteria and microorganisms rich in the fecal water will infect the Wako through the wound. In this way, even if the Japanese are lucky enough to pick up a life and go back, they will hang up due to wound infection.
