heavy weapon is king

Chapter 237: If something goes wrong, there must be a demon! (Second update)

In the middle of the night, after all the core leaders received Nie Zheng's order, in the next few days, the entire Yangzhou City was completely under martial law.

There are four thousand dragon and tiger rebels stationed on each of the four city gates in the east, south, west and north.

In addition to the four thousand dragon and tiger rebels, Nie Zheng also ordered Jia Xiufang to issue a notice to the whole city, saying that the king of Dayue, Sangkang, was about to lead an army to attack the city. The city recruited [-] strong men to join the city defense to assist the dragon and tiger rebels in each city defense to defend the city and fight.

This is a mandatory recruitment order, and the people in the city cannot refuse it at all.

Basically, every family in the city must send out an adult male. However, the Siya Factory will give these strong men who assist in the battle additional compensation.

It has to be said that Jia Xiufang does have some tricks in governing the people.

I don't know what method he used. In just one day, he successfully carried out a successful ideological education to the people in the city, saying how vicious and brutal the people of Dayue were, and how the people of Sangkang occupied the city. After Annan, we Han brothers were exploited and oppressed. For so many years, we Han compatriots have suffered so much under the bloody rule of those foreign bandits.

Finally, Jia Xiufang led a group of well-spoken literati and officials to carry out publicity and warnings on various occasions in the city, calling on everyone to work together this time to defend Yangzhou and their homeland with one heart. Rumors were released that Sang Kang led hundreds of thousands of troops this time, not only to raze Yangzhou to the ground, but after breaking the city, he would massacre the city for three days and kill all the hundreds of thousands of Han people in the city. , and soon the people in Yangzhou city gave birth to the same hatred and hatred.

Although the people in the city are full of panic about the arrival of the Sangkang army, they know in their hearts that they must assist the Dragon and Tiger Rebel Army to hold on to the city this time, and must not let the Dayue people break through Yangzhou, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous...

In short, under the leadership of Jia Xiufang, the group of literati and officials in the Siya Factory put up notices everywhere in the past two days, using the righteousness of the nation to treat those Han people with affection and reason.

Anyway, according to Nie Zheng, Jia Xiufang was fooling the people and brainwashing them, but his methods were more sophisticated, so he was able to make the people's blood boil and their fighting spirit high.

When the notice of the Siya Factory recruiting strong men to guard the city came out, for a while, there were a lot of followers, and all the strong men in the city rushed to sign up. In the end, the number of people who came to sign up was as high as 2, which was more than the [-] recruited at the beginning. , more than doubled.

This result made Marshal Nie and other leaders of the Dragon and Tiger Army overjoyed.

It seems that under the national righteousness of resisting foreign invaders, the local Han people are still very active and active.

With tens of thousands of strong men in the city joining the city defense, the city defense manpower of Yangzhou City suddenly became sufficient.

Before Sangkang's army approached the city, the leaders of the Dragon and Tiger Army guarding the various city defenses began to actively strengthen the deployment of armed firepower, preparing the strongest firepower, and giving those Dayue foreign bandits who dared to attack the city fiercely. A head-on blow.

In the next few days, Xu Shijie and Xu Shijie, who are responsible for the administration of the entire Yangzhou city defense, will be the most busy.

A large number of arms and weapons were deployed inside and outside the main city defenses in the east, south, west, and north.

Especially under the city walls on the left and right sides of each main city gate, many long trenches have been dug, and there are also a large number of military fortifications.

Within these trenches and fortifications, a large number of light and heavy machine guns were deployed.

Currently, Nie Zheng has more than [-] heavy machine guns of various types in his hands.There are as many as two thousand light machine guns of various types.

Basically, nearly [-] light and heavy machine guns were all deployed under the walls of the four main city defenses.

In addition to these light and heavy machine guns, there are also [-] rocket launchers, [-] mortars, and grenade launchers, which are also distributed among the various city defenses in proportion.

As for other rifles, shotguns, submachine guns and other miscellaneous light individual weapons, there are also a large number of deployments at each city gate.

With so many arms and weapons, the entire Yangzhou city, inside and out, was built by Nie Zheng like a iron pass. Its strong defense is not an exaggeration to describe it as impenetrable.

Now, everything has been deployed and prepared, just waiting for the arrival of the enemy...

………………

Today is the sixth day since Nie Zheng ordered the whole city to prepare for war.

During these six days, the entire Yangzhou City was under military control during the day, and a curfew was imposed after dark.

In order to prevent those Da Yue spies hiding in the city from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, Yi Zixuan has been arranging an elite team to train and inspect in various areas of the city from morning to night, day and night. Personnel with suspicious identities will be quietly controlled and examined.

Anyway, before the end of this war, those arrested suspects are basically under house arrest. Unless they can be confirmed innocent, they will not be released in a short time.

In the past two days, the weather has suddenly turned cooler, and the sunny day that lasted for many days finally ended yesterday afternoon.

Since yesterday afternoon, the sky has been cloudy and the wind has been blowing a bit fiercely, making everyone's body chilly. This made the dragon and tiger volunteers who are used to the warm climate suddenly feel a little chilly.

Because, the weather in the south has changed a little too quickly.

I was still wearing a single coat yesterday morning, and was so hot that I was sweating all over. As a result, at night, I had to wear a small cotton jacket outside to go out.

With such a large temperature difference, it is estimated that except for the south, other places will not have this special climate.

At this moment, it is noon.

Nie Zheng had just had lunch with Shen Hongyu, and now he returned to his bedroom, ready to take a lunch break as usual.

Slowly removing his robe, he took two pillows and leaned them high on the head of the bed. He raised his head and looked out the window. The sky outside was gloomy. At some point, on the gloomy sky, unexpectedly It began to rain lightly.

Although his eyes were cast out of the window, his mind was thinking about other things.

In the past few days, he has sent several scouts out of the city to investigate the news, because King Sangkang of Dayue had already assembled an army of 10,000+ in Zengzhou three hundred miles away.

Now, after such a long time, there is no movement from the enemy side, which makes Nie Zheng very puzzled.

You know, 10,000+ Vietnamese troops plus 10 Han Chinese slaves poured into Zengzhou. The daily food and grass consumption of these [-] people is an astronomical amount.

The longer it is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be to the war, and it will easily weaken the fighting spirit and morale of the Dai Viet people.

With Sangkang's great talent, it is impossible for him not to understand this truth.

But after Sangkang led the army into Zengzhou, he has been standing still. What's the intention of this?

Zengzhou is far from Yangzhou. If he marches quickly, it will take five days at most. Sang Kang has not led his troops to attack for a long time. Could it be that he has some other conspiracy?
In the past two days, Nie Zheng discussed with Yi Zixuan, Jia Xiufang and other think tanks many times. Everyone was puzzled, and they had no idea what kind of medicine was sold in Sangkang's gourd.

There is no abnormality on the enemy side, which is the biggest abnormality.

Faintly, Nie Zheng felt that something was wrong, so he had been stressing to Shi Zheng, Xu Shijie and other leaders for the past two days that he must be more vigilant, be careful, and beware of sudden night attacks or any dark tricks from the enemy.

The several groups of scouts who were sent sent back many letters and newspapers one after another. Without exception, in each letter and newspaper, they told Nie Zheng that everything in Zengzhou was as usual and there was no change.

Knowing this result, Nie Zheng became more and more confused.

Sang Kang led an army of 10,000+ and wasted in Zengzhou. What did he want to do?Could it be that he was waiting for some opportunity?
Thinking of this, Nie Zheng let out a deep breath, feeling an inexplicable worry in his heart.
