Chapter 738: Take the City
This charter is not easy to give. Sheng Xi pondered for a long time, and suddenly said, "Snatch the city!"
"What?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this, "Which city is it?"
"Is Lanzhou Prefecture?" Pinglou.
Sheng Xi nodded: "Yes, seize Lanzhou Prefecture and transfer everyone to Lanzhou Prefecture."
She originally wanted to slowly plan. If Kurule didn't bring so many people this time, she would want to use the road between Qingzhou and Lanzhou Prefecture to stumbling on the other party. Unfortunately, this idea was too naive and underestimated the other party's attention to Lanzhou Prefecture. Of course, there might be the movement she made in Yin County.
Her idea was too unexpected, and everyone was puzzled. Wang Xiao even said, "Sir, we only have more than 70 people, and even the people brought by Li Yan is not enough! Moreover, we don't have any siege equipment! If we force ourselves, then..."
Wang Xiao didn't say that, but everyone knew it. Although the others didn't say anything, the meaning was obviously that they agreed with Wang Xiao. The first thing to do was to seize the city was that siege equipment. Although they seized the siege hammer, this one would never be possible. Besides, they really had no one. If they followed the usual siege steps, these hundreds of people would not be enough for the other party to shoot and kill. By then, there were no one, so how could they talk about siege?
But Sheng Xi said, "If you don't force yourself, find a way to enter the city and open the city gate."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. This was really different from what they thought. I tried to find a way to enter the city? At this time, the Tartars in the city would definitely not open the city gate.
Sheng Xi then said: "The number of Tartars in Lanzhou Prefecture is now limited. If we attack the city, it will not be difficult to destroy them."
Everyone didn't say anything, but they said in their hearts: It's not difficult, but it's rare to enter the city!
The city walls of Lanzhou Prefecture City are not comparable to Yinxian. They usually throw flying hooks and never throw them onto Yinxian's walls at once, let alone Lanzhou Prefecture. How to get up to it? If they could get up to the city walls so easily, they would have done this early in the morning, so why wait until now?
Wang Xiao finally couldn't help it and said to Sheng Xi: "Sir, the city wall of Lanzhou Prefecture is too high, and the city wall has been reinforced. Even if you want to climb, it is not easy, let alone the Tartar patrols above. Sir, it's really difficult to enter the city!"
Speaking of this, Wang Xiao was actually extremely regretful. If they had enough people to defend against the enemy, the Tatar soldiers would not have easily entered the city. Even if it was the worst city gate, if they were really defending well, even if thousands of troops came, they would not be able to break through overnight. They would always have a chance to break the situation after that.
But Wang Xiao didn't know that what he regretted was exactly what Sheng Xi wanted to accomplish. Yin County could no longer withstand another round of attacks, only Lanzhou Prefecture City could. Therefore, she wanted to take down Lanzhou Prefecture City and move all the people in Yin County.
Or, she would not stop someone who wanted to flee south. In short, Yin County is already a dangerous place and can no longer keep anyone.
So Sheng Xi said directly: "Don't worry, I can go up."
"Ah, sir, this..." Wang Xiao was stunned, even when the others heard her words, they were completely stunned.
Sheng Xi said she could go up... Regardless of whether it is true or false, they would feel ashamed of themselves when they said it. Going to the city was what they should have done.
"Sir, it's okay, you can climb up there. There are so many Tartars on it... and the city gates, which require at least eight people to open..." Those eight people still have to be strong men...
Before Sheng Xi could answer, the Pinglou next to him suddenly said, "I can go up too, I will accompany you."
"This..." Everyone was embarrassed when they heard this. For a moment, you looked at me and I looked at you, but I didn't know how to speak.
They also want to say something they can go up like a flat building, but the reality is there, they really can't go up!
At this moment, they really regretted why they didn’t practice hard at the beginning, so they couldn’t help them now.
Everyone was regretful, but now they still had to consider reality. Even if Sheng Xi and Pinglou went up, what if they went up? Can they deal with so many Tatar soldiers by just the two of them? Can they open a city?
Sheng Xi did not give them any more time to think about it, and directly issued an order: "Wang Xiao, take two people back and notify everyone to start evacuation. Before dawn, Yin County must be empty! If someone is unwilling to come to Lanzhou Prefecture, let him go south directly. Yin County cannot stay, then Kurule will go straight to Yin County from Qingzhou. Others follow me to Lanzhou Prefecture and wait for my Pinglou to open the city gate. Come in again." After pausing, she said, "Don't worry, I will open the city gate!"
This simple sentence is a solemn promise. Wang Xiao and others wanted to say something, but they couldn't say anything at this moment. Sheng Xi had already told them all the pros and cons, and reality was in front of them. Apart from what Sheng Xi said, they could not think of a better way at all.
As Sheng Xi said, Kurule might go straight from Qingzhou to Yin County, and then the people will still have to escape. The early transfer is also considered to save their lives. I just don’t know how many people will agree with their decision. After all, it is hard to leave their hometown, and whether Sheng Xi can really open the city gate is a big unknown.
But no matter how many people agree, this is all they can do now.
Wang Xiao had no doubts anymore, bowed and then took the two of them away quickly.
Sheng Xi looked up at the sky, and there was no stars and moon. After retracting her gaze, she asked Pinglou to brush fire and quickly wrote a sentence on the paper. Then she called Xueyuan and asked her to send the letter to Lanzhou Prefecture City.
Shuanzi didn't know how to read, but there were people among the people he brought. He just hoped that the other party could help her, so that the chance of the city gate opening would be greater.
No, there is no chance of this matter, but it is necessary. If Shuanzi can't help her, the city gate will still be opened.
Without any delay, they set off for Lanzhou Prefecture, while Zeng Zhe continued to pay attention to Kurule's movements with two scouts.
Now, no matter what is going on, it is difficult to do. It is difficult for Sheng Xi and the others to take down the city gate of Lanzhou Prefecture, and it is also difficult for Wang Xiao to persuade everyone to leave Yin County. At least, in Wang Xiao's opinion, it is not easy to persuade the people to leave.
However, this time he underestimated these people, or in other words, he underestimated Sheng Xi's influence among these people. Not long after he said this, the feedback was delivered as soon as possible, and it was so unified.
Withdraw! The people agreed to evacuate Yin County and follow Sheng Xi! No one objected!
Wang Xiao was quite surprised by this and couldn't help asking one of them: "Don't you think about it more? After all, Lanzhou Prefecture has not been taken yet, and the result is still unknown. If you go south, there will be protection from the imperial army. Isn't it much safer than going to Lanzhou Prefecture?"
The man couldn't help laughing after hearing what he said: "It doesn't matter where you go, but the imperial army does not have Shanda people. With her here, don't worry!"...
