The blood gathered into a large area, and even turned into a river for a short time. Bodies lay scattered on the battlefield, and everyone's face was only numb in the end.

"The enemy soldiers are exhausted and supplies have been exhausted." Seeing this, Jin Kui raised his sword high and gave the order: "Attack the city!"

…

…

Kaiyang County, County City.

The atmosphere in the prefect's mansion was very depressing.

Li Baorong, the prefect of Kaiyang, was extremely anxious at this time and was sitting on the throne with a frown on his face.

Eighty miles away, at the foot of Liucheng City, the soldiers and horses of the Lieshui Department had begun to attack the city. Although there was no real sign on the first day, when the battle reports came, the people who took the lead became their own people. Now waves of battle reports are coming continuously.

But it made the people in the lobby feel more and more upset.

In the battle seven days ago, not only did Yingzhou lose its 30,000-strong army, but it also lost Yingzhou's military and political chiefs, as well as its secretary-general. Both the governor and chief secretary of Yingzhou were killed in that battle, and now only the governor's office remains.

Xia Zhizhong is still there. But Lao Zhizhong, who is nearly sixty years old, was so frightened that he couldn't afford to fall ill. Now it is a prefect like Li Baorong who makes the decision in Kaiyang County. "Alas!"

The evil bandits in the river are watching with eager eyes. It is hard to say whether Kaiyang City can be defended and how long it will last.

In the hall, there were more than a dozen people discussing matters at this time. Except for the prefect Li Baorong who was sitting in the upper position, they were all officials in the city.

These officials were usually dignified and calm, but now they all became depressed.

Li Baorong sat on it, looking at the officials below who had no idea, his expression extremely gloomy.

"Everyone, what has happened now is that we must think of a way. There are less than 3,000 defenders in Kaiyang City, but there are 20,000 troops of water evil bandits outside. The most hateful thing is that Jin Wuke and dog thieves are driving the people everywhere.

, used to attack the city. If Kaiyang City is allowed to attack like this, I am afraid that the city will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed in less than three to five days. Moreover, not only our Kaiyang City cannot be defended, but the entire Yingzhou cannot withstand such killings.

Even if the imperial court regains Yingzhou in the future, the land of all the counties will be empty after the war!" Li Baorong looked at the officials below with anxiety on his face. "Our country, Goryeo, is at the opportunity of national rejuvenation. This is a millennium.

This is a rare opportunity, and the difficulties in Yingzhou will destroy our hope of the rise of the Goryeo nation."

"My lord, all the officials have understood what you said. However, I wonder when the imperial court will send reinforcements? The reinforcements have not arrived for a long time. If we only rely on the defenders in the city to defend the city, it will not be enough to repel the evil bandits.

." Seeing that Li Baorong's face was getting more and more ugly, he knew that if he continued to talk like this, he was afraid that the prefect would become angry, so the official kept silent.

"Park Zhiying, what can you do?"

What the official said was not pleasant to listen to, but he also got to the point. Kaiyang's own military strength was simply not enough to save the city, and without reinforcements, nothing could be done. Li Baorong suppressed his anger and only turned his attention to the county general.

Pu Zhiying felt bitter in his heart. What solution could he come up with as a county general who obeyed orders? He considered the words and said: "Sir, although there are not many defenders in the city of Kaiyang, there are many big households in the city.

Let each household allocate some servants to guard the courtyard. If you put them all together, there must be more than a thousand people. Then recruit the men in the city, plus the army in the city, the total number can be 10,000, and they can stop it for a period of time.

The imperial court's reinforcements should have arrived by now."

This is an old method of defending the city, and it is an empirical method of defending the city. However, these common sense still apply at critical moments.

Li Baorong's face softened slightly after hearing this: "You are right, that's the truth. In that case, it's up to you to handle this matter."

"No." Pu Zhiying breathed a sigh of relief at this point. Next, the prefect's spearhead will no longer be directed at him.

As for letting big households hire people, it's not difficult.

First of all, the evil bandits in the rivers do not regard the Koreans as human beings at all. They will massacre villages and cities wherever they pass. Who can not be afraid of them?

These big households will only do the same. Moreover, I have been in Kaiyang's army for more than ten years, and I am familiar with many of the big households in the city. As long as I explain to them in detail the advantages and disadvantages after the city is broken, they will definitely agree.

"Then let's do this."

After leaving the prefect's mansion, Pu Zhiying went to the home of Pu Zhuorong, the richest man in the city, who also had the same surname as Pu. But when he arrived in front of Pu's mansion, he realized that something was wrong, and suddenly realized that this matter was not easy to do.

It turns out that as early as three days ago, Pu Zhuorong's family went to Jinyang, the capital, to join their relatives. Thirty thousand soldiers and horses in Yingzhou were wiped out, the governor and the long history were all dead. The big families in the city had lost confidence in Yingzhou, and now they have already died.

.

Pu Zhiying was shocked when he learned about this situation. He had been arranging his troops and city guards in the past few days after the bad news about the army came, and did not notice the movements of the big households in the city. He had expected such a change.

Immediately, I made a quick trip to the Kaiyang County Government Office. I learned the details of the changes in the big households from the county government's agents, and hurriedly distributed letters and stickers to the homes of the wealthy powerful people who had not yet left.

When Jin Kui's troops reached the gates of Kaiyang County, Pu Zhiying had gathered tens of thousands of people. Among them, there were more than 1,300 servants and guards from wealthy families, but they still stayed in Kaiyang City.

The number of large households now only accounts for 30% of the total number.

Six days later, Kaiyang City was destroyed. Hundreds of thousands of corpses lay beneath the city. Inside Kaiyang City, flames shot into the sky, dyeing half of the sky red.

A scene like a Shura field.

Rolling iron streams poured in from the breach. The light of swords and rain of arrows covered up all resistance. There were screams everywhere. Not only the defenders in the city were killed by the water cavalry, but also the common people. It can even be said that everything

All living people are targets of death... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m.
