Chapter 406 Guizi, I am also a hypocrite
On the battlefield of the Zhending Front Army, Wanyan Yiying commanded his [-] troops to launch a fierce attack on Zhending City, while the defender of Zhending City, Ma Weiying, led the defenders of Zhending to fight stubbornly.

Zhending City is a fortified city of the same level as Hejian City. It can accommodate a large population, and the city is wide and deep. After the thorough "cleansing" of the previous battle, the original structure of the city was completely destroyed, and there was nothing left. The existence of high-ranking families is all civilians.

During the post-war reconstruction period, Su Yonglin converted all the houses where high-profile families lived in the city into ordinary houses, and moved a large number of civilians to live in Zhending City.

Right now, Zhending City, which has become a war fortress, can also accommodate a large number of people to take refuge in the city. Therefore, the number of civilians accommodated in Zhending City has reached as many as 30, even tens of thousands more than Hejian City.

However, the number of defenders in Zhending City is the same, 6000, and the configuration is exactly the same as that of Hejian City.

Su Yonglin really couldn't get too many troops.

In response to this, Bao Yinian, the instructor of Zhending City, took advantage of the sufficient manpower in the city to recruit [-] strong men for temporary special training, which maximized the use of manpower and abundant material resources, greatly enhancing the city's defense strength.

When Wanyan Yiying led the [-] Golden Army soldiers to attack outside Zhending City, they encountered stubborn resistance from the defenders of Zhending. Facing the stubborn resistance of the defenders of Zhending, Wanyan Yiying could not come up with any solution for a while.

Coincidentally, about 4 Jin troops under Heshi Lieliangbi also launched an attack on Boye City.

Although Boye City was not as strong as Hejian City and Zhending City, its defenders were not lacking in courage.

They resolutely resisted under the leadership of the defender Hu Yue, and repeatedly defeated the attack of He Shilie Liangbi's troops, causing heavy damage to the Jin army.

Facing the tenacious and tenacious Boye defenders, Heshi Lie Liangbi had no good solution for a while.

The three-way troops of the Jin Army were blocked by three cities at the same time and could not advance an inch.

The relevant information was sent back to the Jinan Restoration Army headquarters by the intelligence troops dispatched by Su Yonglin as quickly as possible, so that Su Yonglin, who was in Jinan Prefecture, knew how far the current battle situation had progressed.

At present, the Jin army has not yet fully launched its offensive, so Su Yonglin can still know the situation in Hebei in a relatively timely manner.

Knowing that the Jin army was blocked by three cities and could not advance an inch, the headquarters cheered and thought it was very good news.

As long as the city can hold on long enough, it will certainly be able to drag down the logistics of the Jin Army and give the main field troops of the Restoration Army a chance to counterattack.

Su Yonglin looked at the passionate staff officers in the headquarters, and watched them imagining how the Restoration Army should go north to fight back after defeating the main force of the Jin Army. Suddenly, a sense of guilt appeared in his heart.

So after the intelligence analysis was completed, Su Yonglin climbed the Jinan city wall alone with a few guards, leaning against the wall in a corner of the city wall and looking to the north.

After a while, Tian Guizi came.

"Alang, there are still many things that you need to deal with."

"how did you find me?"

Su Yonglin turned his head to look at Tian Guizi.

Tian Guizi smiled.

"It's not the first time I've found you on the city wall. Whenever you have something on your mind these days, you go to the city wall and stare at the north. If you ask what's wrong, you won't tell me."

"Have I come so many times?"

Su Yonglin turned his gaze to the north again: "Let me look at it for a while."

"Alang, what are you worried about?"

Tian Guizi took a few steps forward, stood next to Su Yonglin, and looked at him with concern: "If you can, tell me, although it may not be solved, but at least speaking, it will make my heart a little more relaxed, and I can't hold back too much in my heart. Things, deflated too many things, you will get sick."

Su Yonglin was silent for a moment.

"Guzi, how many cities do you think we will be captured by golden thieves this time?"

Tian Guizi was stunned when he heard the words.

He hadn't really thought about it.

He hopes that no city will be conquered, because the preparations are indeed perfect, and all kinds of strong walls and clear fields enrich the city defense.

but……

The Jin army is indeed very strong. If facing a city alone, the advantage brought by the tenfold or even dozens of times of the difference in strength cannot be completely offset by a single city wall.

In theory, every city has the possibility of being conquered.

Of course, in the same way, every city has the possibility to hold on and not be conquered by the golden soldiers.

The key is people.

So Tian Guizi said slowly: "It's hard to say, but Alang has done his best to supply these cities with sufficient weapons and food. Whether they will fall is not up to Alang to decide."

"Hejian and Zhending are not necessarily big cities, but not all of the thirty cities are big cities, there are also smaller cities, the time is too tight, we don't even have time to expand, if you can give me another year Time can at least expand those cities."

Su Yonglin sighed slightly: "It's a pity that there is not enough time, so the dwarfs can only be taller. As long as the golden thief has enough troops and spends enough time, although they can't conquer all the cities, they can still conquer a few of them. I don't think it can be done by manpower. twisted."

Tian Guizi was also silent for a moment, and then said: "That's not necessarily true, the guards are all the generals carefully selected by A Lang. They all have the ability, and they may not lose the city. If... then there is no way. It happened, who can stop it?"

"Yes, once it happens, I can't stop it. No matter how they ask for help, I can't do anything. I told them that they have no reinforcements, and we can't send troops to support them. They can only rely on themselves.

If there is no end in sight, they can only watch 20 to [-] people in the city be massacred... If the city persists in resisting, it will cause a large number of casualties to the siege army, and the siege army will almost certainly slaughter the city. "

Su Yonglin took a deep breath and said, "They obeyed my orders and entered the city because they believed in me, but I can't guarantee that each of them can live safely in the city until the end of the war..."

"No one can guarantee this kind of thing in the era of war and chaos. When the war is over, who dares to say that he will definitely survive? When you go to the battlefield, you should have the determination to die and fight with all your strength. Only then can you survive."

Tian Guizi shook his head again and again.

"But my plan was designed from the very beginning, and it was destined that once a city was breached, it would inevitably be massacred."

Su Yonglin sighed and said, "On the Great Plains, cities cannot even support each other, because there are too many golden thieves cavalry, and one city is in a hurry, so I can only stand it by myself, otherwise it will affect other cities.

Of course I hope that no city will be breached, but this is too difficult. Some cities have only 2000 defenders, and tens of thousands of Jin troops. Faced with more than ten times the enemy, can the defenders really hold back? "

Tian Guizi looked at Su Yonglin, and found that Su Yonglin was vulnerable at this time, completely different from the way he was firm and bloody in public.

Only in front of very few people would Su Yonglin occasionally show his inner fragility and softness. This was a secret that Tian Guizi, one of the very few people, knew.

When people are under pressure, they should release them appropriately, but Tian Guizi doesn't always agree with Su Yonglin's vulnerability.

"Alang is still too kind."

Tian Guizi just shook his head and said, "In such a world, once there is a war, who can guarantee that they will survive? The people can't, neither can we, why didn't Alang risk his life to fight the golden thief to the death? As soon as the war started, no one was there. To get out of the way, everyone should be prepared to die."

Su Yonglin nodded.

He knew the big truth, but he just felt that his heart was blocked and he always felt that some emotions had to be expressed.

"I know, I know very well, I just feel that my heart is blocked, but think about it carefully, before and when the wall was cleared, I didn't have so much mind, just wanted to achieve the goal, and I didn't hesitate to pay for it. everything.

It was only later, at this time, that I started to worry about whether they would be slaughtered once the city was broken, and whether they would become slaves again once the city was broken... Guizi, I am also a hypocrite. man. "
