Chapter 250: Lax City Defense

250 lax city defenses

(Every time the weather turns cold, I have to feel a cold, it's almost become a habit, the snot is so uncomfortable, and I'm also drunk.) Please search to see the most complete! However, the impact on my update, the promise of continuous renewal is still there! )

At this time, Pan Ying gritted his teeth and said to Shi Ming: "Teacher, now you and your students will go up to the city wall to watch the enemy's situation!" ”

As soon as Pan Ying's words were finished, Yu Shiming had not yet spoken, and Yu Boren on the side was anxious.

Then he shouted: "Father, don't go up to the city wall, those Japanese are murderous without blinking, and the city wall of Yangzhou may not be able to resist the Japanese invaders."

You might as well go back to the house with the kids and take refuge! These matters of defending the city were handed over to the government and the guards to deal with. ”

"Bastard, unproductive thing!"

Yu Shiming pointed at Yu Boren angrily and scolded angrily: "What are you thinking in your head, if you let the Japanese invade the city, we won't be able to survive, now you immediately follow your father to the city wall." ”

Yu Boren's ugly appearance just now, even Pan Ying, who was also scared on the side, couldn't stand it.

At this time, some people don't even understand the truth of 'how can there be eggs under the nest', no wonder they are so big, but they can't even get famous, it turns out that there is a reason.

"Teacher, let's go up to the city wall now!"

Ignoring Yu Boren, who was still trembling, Pan Ying took a few deep breaths, suppressed the panic in his heart, and walked out.

When they went up to the wall of the south gate, they found that Lin Yongnian had arrived earlier than them and was standing on the city gate tower.

The south gate was closed, and a number of officers and soldiers had gathered on the city wall, all of whom were looking out with frightened eyes, as if something terrible was in the distance.

"Lord Prefect."

Pan Ying and Yu Shiming walked up to Lin Yongnian and shouted respectfully on the surface.

"You're here too." Lin Yong said in a young voice.

"Is there really a big gang of pirates outside the city? Do they really dare to attack our Yangzhou City? It won't be the ones who are deliberately bluffing. ”

Pan Ying looked out of the city, but didn't see anyone, only saw a lot of figures moving in the distance, and said loudly.

"The intelligence has confirmed that this time the Japanese really have ideas about our Yangzhou City.

In fact, during this period of time, I saw a lot of things about the discovery of Japanese pirates in the surrounding counties from the sedimentary twists and turns, and there were signs before. ”,

Lin Yongnian's eyes also stared at the slightly blurred figures in the distance outside the city, and said in a deep voice.

"Those murderous widows are really here, how can they resist it!"

At this time, a soldier in tattered armor, thin and weak, was still a child of sixteen or seventeen.

He was the garrison officer and soldier who guarded the city gate on weekdays, and he looked at the figure that appeared faintly in the distance outside the city, and said tremblingly.

In the past two years, many people in Yangzhou have heard of the robbing of the people in the coastal areas to the east, and the ferocity of the Japanese has long been known.

Every time they rob, they not only have to rob all their belongings, but also take away their lives in the end.

Pan Ying saw the veteran's trembling look, almost even had a crooked nose, strode up to the soldier, stretched out his hand and slapped him.

"You waste, there is a soldier there, you are scared like this before the Japanese invaders come, if you really come, you can still count on you to defend against the enemy!

One by one, cheer up the officials, if the widows come, immediately release the arrows, if anyone dares to retreat cowardly, don't care about the officials turning their faces and being ruthless. ”

"Yes, sir!" The soldier who was awakened hurriedly assured.

Lin Yongnian glanced at Pan Ying and didn't say anything, at this time, the enemy really needs to deter people.

"Haven't the garrisons of the city arrived yet? Lin Yongnian asked.

At this time, a chubby official wearing a six-grade official robe trotted all the way, sweating profusely.

As soon as Pan Ying saw him, he immediately turned his head to Lin Yongnian on the side and said, "Lord Lin, Lord Soldier and Horse Garrison Tian is here." ”

"Yangzhou soldiers and horses garrison Tian Qing, participate in the prefect, and the same prefect."

Then, Pan Ying immediately asked Tian Qing: "Okay, Tian Shoubei, tell me how many soldiers and horses we have in the city now, are the stones, rolling logs, and arrows fully prepared?"

Later, if the pirates do come, you must repel them. ”

This fat-headed, big-eared, chubby official is Tian Qing, the soldiers and horses guarding Yangzhou City.

At this time, I saw that after listening to Pan Ying's words, he hurriedly wiped the sweat on his forehead, and he didn't know if it was because he was hot all the way, or because he was in a hurry.

"My lord, I only have less than a thousand soldiers in my hands now, but I have to defend the four city gates in the south, east, and west, and my troops are stretched!

As for the rocks and arrows in the city, we don't have a reserve at all, so where can you let the lowly post find them now! ”

Tian Qing, the soldiers and horses who had just arrived, said with a wry smile.

"What, in a huge city, you don't even have a stone and a rolling wood, how can you be a soldier and horse garrison."

After listening to Tian Qing's words, Pan Ying was dizzy and roared angrily.

In the face of Pan Ying's scolding, the soldier and horse garrison behaved very aggrieved, and said eloquently: "Master Pan, this can't be blamed for being humiliating!"

You forget, the lowly has told you several times that he would ask for a sum of money to fortify the walls and to reserve the stones, but you have all been given back.

Without silver, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and there is no way to do it! ”

"Uh......"

Listening to the words of the soldiers and horses, Pan Ying was dumbfounded for a while, and then he remembered that it seemed that there was indeed such a thing, and he couldn't help blushing for a while.

Since he came to Yangzhou for three years, he has never maintained the city wall of Yangzhou.

As for the former Yangzhou prefect Wan Daren, he only knows how to make money for their families, where would he care about these things.

Besides, Pan Ying also has difficulties, don't look at the prosperity and wealth of Yangzhou City, but the treasury of the government is empty all the year round, and he doesn't have much silver in his hand at all.

If you want to ask where the money went, of course, it all went into the hands of the Wanzhi Mansion and the rich merchants in the city.

The entire Yangzhou City didn't even have basic defensive artifacts such as rolling wood and stones, and Lin Yongnian, who was next to him, kept listening, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

It's really fattening the moths and pitting the court!

In fact, this kind of thing is not only in Yangzhou, I am afraid that most of the surrounding cities are like this, here has been peaceful for a long time, and the soldiers and horses are relaxed.

In fact, in the eyes of Pan Ying and others, Yangzhou is backed by Jinling, who would eat a leopard and dare to come here to pick up the tiger's whiskers!

But now someone is coming, and now Pan Ying regrets it.

Lin Yongnian on the side was still relatively calm, and he didn't delve into Pan Ying's mistakes, but asked Tian Qing: "Tian Shoubei, have the people in the city been mobilized?" ”

Tian Qing hurriedly replied: "Back to the words of the lord, the humble post has urgently mobilized more than 1,200 people, and now they are coming. ”

"Only 1,200 people? Isn't it too little. ”

Lin Yongnian is a civilian official, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know soldiers, and he also knows that more than 1,000 people can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket for the huge Yangzhou City.

"My lord is hungry, this is already the most popular people who can make up in a short period of time, and those murderous people have long heard of it, and they don't dare to come out.

The lowly position does not dare to use the strong, lest it provoke the people's uprising, and the current lowly position is really unable to take the army! ”

"The guards of the Jinshan Guard outside the city immediately sent an order and asked them to come to Yangzhou to rescue." Pan Ying said.

"Even if the guards of the Jinshan Guard Station arrive, it is estimated that it will be too late, and we will have to rely on ourselves to deal with this Japanese crisis this time."

Lin Yongnian said lightly.

At this time, Yu Shiming, who was on the side, suddenly had his eyes lit up, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and he shouted: "Lord Prefect, who said that we don't have soldiers, there are still soldiers in Yangzhou City!" ”

"Where are the soldiers!"

Pan Ying listened to the instinctive reaction, and several eyes around him immediately shot into Yu Shiming's face, and Lin Yongnian also looked at him.

"Lord Lin, what about Huaiqing, you forgot, aren't there still hundreds of soldiers in the Guan family!"

As soon as Yu Shiming's words came out, Pan Ying, who suddenly came to his senses, immediately slapped his thigh hard and shouted, "Yes, why didn't I think of it."

The general Li from Henan, didn't he still bring hundreds of soldiers, it was a Tun army, which was stronger than those people in Yangzhou. ”

"Then what are you waiting for, quickly send someone to order him to bring someone over! Lord Lin, what do you say? Pan Ying shouted excitedly.

Lin Yongnian's eyes glanced at Yu Shiming, and finally nodded slightly: "I can only ask General Li for help." ”

"Yes, send someone over at once."

Pan Ying was very kind, and was ready to send two officials to rush to the Guanfu immediately.

"No, there is a general, we still ask others for help, how can we only send officials to invite, Master Pan, you go in person."

Lin Yongnian said very seriously.

"Ahh Humble obedience. ”

Pan Ying had made a fool of himself in front of the gate of Guanfu before, and he really didn't want to go in person.

But what Lin Yongnian said was right, you asked for help and only sent officials, it was too rude, and in the end, Pan Ying could only agree to come down.

"Hehe, surnamed Li, how can those widows be so easy to deal with, if you can die in the hands of the widows at that time, it will save the old man's trouble."

Yu Shiming watched Pan Ying take someone to invite Li Zixiao, and thought sinisterly in his heart.

Kanfu.

Li Zixiao and Guan Daowen were drinking and talking in the lobby.

There was a rush of footsteps, and a servant ran in and shouted to Guan Daowen in the hall: "Master, Master Pan is here, he has indicated that he is looking for the general, and he is now waiting in the front hall." ”

"Looking for a child?"

Guan Daowen immediately asked vigilantly, "How many people did Master Pan bring over?" ”

The servant didn't dare to slack off, and replied respectfully, "Back to the old man, that Master Pan only brought two servants, and he seemed to be in a hurry. ”

"Two servants? So he's not here to get in trouble, that's fine. ”

Li Zixiao thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go over right away." ”

"Let's go together."

Guan Daowen also nodded: "I just don't know what happened to this Master Pan this time, he actually came to the door in person, Ziqian, let's go together." ”

In the hall of the outer courtyard of the Guanfu, Pan Ying was sitting anxiously on a chair, and when he looked out from time to time, his heart was already anxious.

A rush of footsteps sounded, Guan Daowen took Li Zixiao, and followed Guan Shengjie and the three walked in.

After seeing Pan Ying, Guan Daowen and Guan Shengjie immediately bowed down and said in unison: "The grass people have seen Master Pan. ”

"No need to be polite, two of you, please."

Pan Ying helped the two of them up, and then saw a tall young man, and then took the initiative to arch his hand towards Li Zixiao: "Presumably this is General Li." ”

Pan Ying's attitude today made Li Zixiao wonder for a while, when did these civil officials with their eyes above the top take the initiative to salute these generals.

"Master Pan is polite. This official is Li Zixiao! Li Zixiao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Pan Ying squinted at Li Zixiao and said, "General Li, I heard that you came to Yangzhou this time and brought hundreds of elite soldiers, right?" ”

"Lord Pan should have known about it a long time ago, I remember that a few days ago there were rumors that this official crossed the border with heavy troops, and there was a suspicion of rebellion, did Lord Pan forget?"

Li Zixiao said with a smile.

"This ......, General Li don't care, General Li has said it, those are all rumors."

Pan Ying was squeezed by Li Zixiao like this, no matter how thick her old face was, she couldn't help but turn red, and said haha.

"This official just went home to save his relatives this time, and he didn't bring many soldiers and horses, but only brought one hundred and twenty personal guards."

At this time, Pan Ying, who was anxious, couldn't care so much, and said straight to the point: "General Li, this time this official is on the order of the prefect Lord Lin, and I have come to ask you to send troops to help."

The officer doesn't care how many soldiers you bring now, and now the officer wants to temporarily second, including you, these soldiers, are you willing? ”

As soon as Li Zixiao heard that Lin Yongnian had sent him, he knew that something must have happened, but he asked quietly, "Master Pan, what's wrong?" ”

Pan Ying said with a stern expression: "We have received news that a group of Japanese robbers are approaching Yangzhou, with as many as a thousand people.

Now there is a serious shortage of troops in Yangzhou City, and you and your soldiers need to be recruited. ”

"There are Japanese pirates who have fled to Yangzhou, this is impossible?"

As soon as Pan Ying's words came out, the people in the hall were stunned, Yangzhou, which had never suffered a military disaster for more than 200 years, was it going to fall into war today?

"What the hell is going on, how can the Japanese invade the border of Yangzhou, are all those troops of Hai'anwei dead?"

After hearing this, Guan Daowen on the side couldn't help but be shocked and scared, and said in disbelief.

"According to our preliminary judgment now, this gang of Japanese robbers should not have come from the east this time, otherwise Taizhou would have found out in advance.

This gang of Japanese robbers appeared in the south, probably along the river, and now it is useless to talk about this, and they want to find a way to defend the city first.

That's why we asked General Lee for help. ”

"Master Pan, isn't the strength of Yangzhou City enough to resist those Japanese robbers?"

Li Zixiao didn't rush to agree, but felt a little strange. With the strength of the troops in Yangzhou City, they shouldn't be so afraid of the Japanese Invaders.
