The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 354

Licheng is really too big. Compared with the [-] defenders, they have no way to deploy and control the entire city wall. Just like Wanyan Zonghan's analysis, the Jin army has a total of [-] people. For the city walls that are not fully controlled, there is still a chance to attack the city.

The Jin army dispersed and began to attack the city from all directions.

Standing on the city wall, Zhang Wu was overjoyed when he saw the Jin army's attack weakening at first. He thought he had defeated the first wave of the Jin army's attack, and said to Hao Jingcheng with some joy: "Mr. Hao, that's great." Yes, the Jin army is about to withdraw."

Hao Jingcheng looked at Zhang Wu in front of him, shook his head, and said, "Withdraw troops? How is that possible? The real war has just begun."

Hearing Hao Jingcheng's words, Zhang Wu frowned and said, "No way, I see that the Jin army's offensive is not as fierce as before."

Hao Jingcheng smiled and said: "The retracted fist can launch a more powerful attack. Now the Jin army has just changed its attack strategy, and the next step should be regarded as the official siege of the Jin army."

Hearing what Hao Jingcheng said, Zhang Wu's expression became tense, and he said to Hao Jingcheng, "Oh, if it's really what the general said, what should we do?"

Hao Jingcheng said indifferently: "General Zhang, don't worry, we are waiting for work at leisure, and it should be no problem to stick to it for a long time."

"Although that's what I said, it's not so easy to defend the city. If I can have [-] soldiers and horses, I'm not worried, but now there are only [-] soldiers and horses. You can't even stand on the entire city wall, let alone defend the city." Zhang Wu said with a mournful face.

Hao Jingcheng smiled and said: "General Zhang, relax, soldiers will block you, water will cover you, it's not a big deal! Don't panic!"

As soon as Hao Jingcheng finished speaking, a soldier ran over in a hurry and shouted at Zhang Wu from a distance: "It's not good, general, the big thing is not good, general, the Jin army has begun to attack the city."

After Zhang Wu heard this, his complexion changed, and he scolded: "Why panic, I don't know that the Jin army is attacking the city, isn't the Jin army attacking the city now?"

The soldier ran over in a hurry and said to Zhang Wu: "General... No, a large number of Jin troops appeared on the west wall, and the Jin army seems to want to attack the city from the west."

When Zhang Wu heard this, his heart tightened. It turned out that the more he worried about something, the more he would come. It seems that the Jin army is also clear about the fact that there are only more than [-] defenders in Licheng, so at this time he chose Dividing troops to attack the city is the biggest challenge to the Song army defending the city.

Zhang Wu hurriedly ran to Hao Jingcheng's side, and said eagerly: "Master Hao, look, what should we do in this situation? Sure enough, the Jin army divided up and started attacking the city? We only have more than 1 people, now we But how should we defend the city!"

Hao Jingcheng nodded and said to Zhang Wu: "General Zhang, don't panic. Although there are only more than 1 soldiers guarding the city, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in our city."

Hearing what Hao Jingcheng said, Zhang Wu said with some doubts: "Master Hao, what do you mean?"

Hao Jingcheng smiled and said: "I mean it literally, the southern city wall will be handed over to you. No matter whether the Jin army is really divided or it is a plan of suspicion, the southern city wall must be the master of the Jin army. On the battlefield, [-] soldiers are left for you to garrison at the south gate, what do you think?"

Hearing Hao Jingcheng's order, Zhang Wu said anxiously: "Master Hao, even if I guard the south gate, if the east and west walls are breached, it will not help!"

Hao Jingcheng nodded and said to Zhang Wu: "Master Zhang, don't worry, the two walls of this thing will be handed over to us. You only need to send [-] soldiers to each of the two walls. Don't worry, neither side of this thing will be breached." of."

Zhang Wu looked at Hao Jingcheng in front of him. Hao Jingcheng was dressed as a scholar and looked weak, but what he said at this time made people want to be convinced. This feeling is very strange, but Zhang Wu believed it naturally.

"Master Hao, then I will hand over the two walls of this thing to you." Zhang Wu looked at Hao Jingcheng in front of him and said affectionately.

Hao Jingcheng nodded and said: "Don't worry, General Zhang, then we will split up. I have sent people over to General Yue, and now half an hour has passed. If you persist for another two hours, the Jin army will definitely be defeated. At that time, you are the hero who fought against the Jin army this time."

Zhang Wu's blood boiled with enthusiasm when Hao Jingcheng said it. Although he was greedy for life and afraid of death, that person didn't want to be a hero.

"Master Hao, please!" Zhang Wu cupped his hands at Hao Jingcheng and said.

So the two split up.

"Master Wen, the west wall belongs to me, and the east wall belongs to you. We will each bring a thousand soldiers, and then call on the young and middle-aged people in the city to come and help us defend." Hao Jingcheng said to Wen Buer as he walked.

Wen Buer nodded when he heard what Hao Jingcheng said. To be honest, Wen Buer already admired Hao Jingcheng very much at this time. He really didn't expect that Hao Jingcheng could persuade Zhang Wu so easily.

After all, in Wen Buer's heart, Zhang Wu is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, how could he promise Hao Jingcheng to do something like stick to the enemy, but Hao Jingcheng actually did it.

As for the reason, Wen Buer naturally asked Hao Jingcheng, Hao Jingcheng smiled, and said to Wen Buer: "Actually, you are overcomplicating things. The more people who are afraid of death, the easier it is to persuade them." For a person like you, this fear of death is his weakness, everyone has weaknesses, as long as you find his weakness, then you can make him submit obediently."

Wen Buer heard what Hao Jingcheng said, if he realized something, although what Hao Jingcheng said sounds very clear, but it is not easy to operate it, just like this person's weakness , I found it, how to use this weakness to force people to submit, this in itself is a kind of manipulation of people's hearts.

"Master Hao, don't worry, our people have mobilized the whole city, and the people in the city are very enthusiastic about us. Now there are 6 to [-] young and middle-aged people who have been recruited. These people have never been on the battlefield, but As soon as they heard that they were going to stop the Jin army, they rushed to sign up one by one." Wen Buer said with some pride.

Hao Jingcheng nodded, and said to Wen Buer: "Good job, then let's split up and stick to it for two hours, and Licheng will be saved!"
