Chapter 895: Shen Jian becomes the heart of the late city defender

At this point, Shen Jianwan paused for a moment, and then continued:

"As for our current enemy situation, I reported it to General Shen Zhan and His Majesty via flying pigeon letter as soon as I received the military report. They will definitely not ignore us after receiving the letter.

So we only need to defend Beijiang City for the imperial court before their reinforcements arrive to break this situation. Can you understand what A Wan means? "

"But...but this is impossible!" Wu Yong said and cried even more sadly, "County Lord, I really am not belittling myself. With our current military strength, under such a huge disparity, we can defend this northern Xinjiang city for three days. It’s all good now, why wait for rescue?”

Shen Jianwan saw that the other party was still so cowardly for this reason. If she hadn't sensed that the other party was not lying with her current consciousness, she would have thought that the other party was also a spy of the enemy, and this deliberately undermined their determination to fight.

Suddenly she had an idea and couldn't help but use another way to persuade the other party, "But General Wu, it won't help if you commit suicide now. You still hope that your family in Beijing will not be so deeply implicated because of your suicide, but you can be sure that you Can the news of suicide still spread back to the capital?

Ah Wan, let me tell you the truth. Once we fail to defend the northern city, our northern part of the Yamato Dynasty will fall into chaos. Not to mention the small news of your suicide, even major military information will not be delivered. It must be passed back.

So are you sure that if you die now, your family will be less involved? "

As expected, Wu Yong finally showed a look of astonishment after hearing this, "Then... what should we do?"

"Of course, there is only one way for us to go now, and that is to defend this city for the imperial court.

Ah Wan knows that it is almost impossible to defend the city under the current situation, but it depends on man-made efforts. How can we know if we don't work hard?

It's not that I want to persuade General Wu to act alone, but given the current situation, we have no choice but to do so.

Instead of waiting for death, I think the smarter thing for us is to do our best to defend the city first. The day we can defend is one day, and the day we can delay is one day. Every extra day will give us more vitality. "

Shen Jianwan's words were not only meant for Wu Yong, but also for everyone present. What she wanted now was for everyone to work together to defend the city.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, she saw that the generals following Yu Baicheng looked a little more solemn.

Among them, Yu Baicheng took out his sword and cut off a corner of the table next to him, and then said seriously to everyone in the room:

"Everyone has heard what the Lord of Jinxiu County said, so now we have only one option to defend this northern Xinjiang city.

I, Yu Baicheng, am here to say it first. From now on, no one will be allowed to mention the cowardly behavior of retreating. Otherwise, the general will cut off the enemy's head before he breaks the city. Do you hear me clearly? "

"Yes!" He was answered by the uniform voices of all the soldiers in the room.

Seeing that everyone had firm expressions, Yu Baicheng couldn't help but look at the most useless Wu Yong, "What about you, General Wu? Do you want to commit suicide now, or discuss with us how to defend the city?

Don't worry, if you still want to die now, I can still let you commit suicide instead of killing you. "

After being reminded by Shen Jianwan, Wu Yong, who was already enlightened, could not think of dying anymore. So after hearing this, he wiped away his tears and said with his hands, "I am also willing to defend the city with General Yu and the Lord of Jinxiu County." ”

Seeing that Wu Yong finally cheered up, Shen Jianwan and the others couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to discuss the matter of defending the city. Yu Baicheng has the highest military rank in the field, but he has no experience in defending the city and fighting the enemy. As for Wu Yong, although he is very familiar with the defense and manpower and material resources of Beijiang City, Beijiang City has always been the logistics of the front battlefield. He He has always been doing some logistical work, so he doesn't have very good leadership skills for defending the city.

Not to mention the remaining young soldiers, but all the elite soldiers have been dispatched to the front battlefield, and they are all people without great abilities.

Then, to everyone's surprise, the woman Shen Jianwan gradually became their backbone as the discussion progressed.

As she successively proposed several decisions that were crucial to their current defense of the city, everyone couldn't help but look at him with more solemnity and admiration.

Like Yu Baicheng before, although these people had heard about Shen Jianwan's reputation in various ways, the impact of seeing the other's talent with their own eyes was still very different.

Even Yu Baicheng could not imagine that Shen Jianwan, a woman who knew military matters, could not help but respect and admire her very much.

So after a while, Shen Jianwan's suggestions were adopted, and then everyone started to set up defense arrangements in the city according to what Shen Jianwan said.

Before arranging the defense of the city, Shen Jianwan and the others first opened the south gate to let the people leave immediately.

Because they don't know if they can defend the northern city, their soldiers have the obligation to stay and defend the city, but the people don't have to stay and sacrifice for it.

Although those who fled after the city was broken may not necessarily be able to escape the clutches of the enemy. Even now because it is winter, they may still face the severe test of the weather after escaping, but they still have to choose whether to stay or not. Escape.

Then unexpectedly, Shen Jianwan and the others thought that there would be a lot of people leaving. Even though there might not be too many people leaving due to the weather, they did not expect that there would be so few.

Except for a dozen wealthy families and more than thirty well-to-do families in the city, everyone in Beijiang City actually chose to stay.

In the words of the common people, if Beijiang City is not destroyed, then it will be fine if they don't leave.

If the city is broken, it will be useless for them to run away. They will still be overtaken by the enemy's cavalry. Once the city is broken, not to mention their northern city, the cities to the north of them will not be spared.

And now that it's the twelfth lunar month of winter outside, they don't even need to defeat the enemy on the way, otherwise various accidents may happen first.

In the end, they had the unparalleled luck to reach a city that was not attacked by the enemy, but it was not easy for them to regain a foothold in a new place after leaving their hometown.

Everyone has a family to take care of, and it is difficult to take away the family's houses, livestock, fields and other property, which makes the people even more reluctant to leave.

Besides, around Shen Jianwan, Shitou and Xiaoqi, who were secretly hiding in their luggage this time, were also unwilling to leave.

Shen Jianwan arranged enough escorts for them, but he couldn't persuade them to leave no matter what.

Others didn't know that Shen Jianwan knew Xiao Qi's true identity, and she couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw that he refused to leave.
