Of course Bai Hengwang understands that rescuing emergencies is like putting out fires.
In fact, he hopes Miao Yan will come over more than anyone else. It is best to arrive in Yangzhou today.
These idiots and petty officials in front of me are nothing. My life, Bai Hengwang, is the most important, and I am the one who fears death the most!
But the problem is that since the traces of the Japanese pirate army were discovered three days ago and more than a hundred miles away, he has already sent no less than a dozen copies of the Flying Pigeon Letter to Miao Yan.
¡°Except for the previous few times when Miao Yan recovered and would definitely come to the rescue, Miao Yan made no sound at all after that.
God only knows where Miao Yan is now.
If there is any accident, it is not impossible to come back in three, five, seven or eight days.
But Bai Hengwang couldn't show this kind of nervousness. As a second-grade official, he still had this in the city.
He knew that if he panicked, the people around him would panic, and then this would be transmitted to the soldiers guarding the city!
What do you rely on to defend the city?
Isn¡¯t it just a breath of air?
Once you let out your anger, it will be over!
So when faced with Jia Ziming's inquiry, Bai Hengwang laughed and raised his voice: "Mr. Jia, you can have no confidence in me, but how can you have no confidence in Miao Taisheng? Miao Taisheng has never broken his promise since he became an official. To people!
And didn¡¯t I show everyone his reply before? He is coming on a starry night journey, and he will definitely not let hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou fall into the tiger's mouth! Everyone can rest assured! ! "
Next to him, Jiang Chenqian, the prefect of Yangzhou, nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Although Mr. Miao is a little fierce and a little too old-fashioned, he never breaks trust with others! I have learned this when I was an official in Beijing!"
Being able to sit in the position of Yangzhou magistrate, Jiang Chenqian is not a fool. No matter what he is thinking at this time, it will not show up.
He can only give everyone the greatest confidence like Bai Hengwang.
As for the outcome, he couldn¡¯t guarantee it, so he could only pray to Bodhisattva for blessing.
With the singing and harmony of the two of them, the faces of the gentry and salt merchants next to them looked much better.
At this moment, a clerk from the Yanzheng Yamen hurriedly ran up from below.
"Your Majesty, Sir Miao Yanmiao's letter has arrived!!" The clerk shouted loudly as he ran.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and quickly made way for the scribe to run to Bai Hengwang.
If possible, Fei Ge¡¯s letter must be transcribed, otherwise it would be impossible to read the small characters carefully.
So this scribe has read the content.
Bai Hengwang's ability to observe words and expressions is superb. Seeing the uncontrollable joy on the clerk's face, he simply stopped reading and shouted: "Just read it!"
"yes!"
The clerk obviously remembered the contents. He didn't even read the document, but said loudly: "Hold the city, our army will arrive in three days! If anyone dares to escape and cause a collapse, I will kill his whole family! Heaven and earth will Check it out!!"
This document has a somewhat commanding tone, but because Miao Yan also serves as the imperial envoy, this is also appropriate.
What everyone cares about is obviously not the tone of the order, but the content inside.
For Yangzhou people, the content in the front is bigger than the content in the back.
It¡¯s too late to escape or anything.
If they run away now, the Japanese will definitely chase them and kill them.
Even if you are lucky enough to escape, the number of casualties may not be certain.
In fact, this is also normal. Isn¡¯t it the same for modern people? When encountering a crisis, the first thing to do is to hide at home instead of running away.
So everyone can only choose to stay in the city.
Of course, this is also related to Bai Hengwang.
He already knew the consequences of abandoning Yangzhou City. If others were to do so, they would be fine, but he, the Minister of Salt Affairs, would definitely be beheaded and his house confiscated. Even his sons, daughters, and grandchildren might all be beheaded.
Therefore, he closed the city gate early and did not allow anyone to enter or exit - only by holding these people back would morale not drop. Otherwise, seeing others leaving one after another, what morale would the remaining people have?
It has to be said that Bai Hengwang has really done a good job in understanding people's hearts.
His obstruction, coupled with the hesitation and timidity of the wealthy businessmen, has contributed to the current situation where everyone can only bite the bullet and stick to it.
"Thank God!"
&nCocktails have also begun to be used in large quantities.
Although the Japanese are wary of their secret weapons, if you want to attack the city, how can you attack in a scattered manner?
There must be a swarm of swarms attacking and clinging to them.
And the group of archers, if they are far apart, the effect of the bows and arrows will be very poor, so they have to step forward.
Although Bai Hengwang¡¯s surname is Bai, he is definitely not an idiot.
In order to save his life, he also worked hard.
For example, Bai Hengwang had previously selected dozens of soldiers who were bold, strong, and accurate in throwing objects, and specially asked them to throw wooden handle grenades.
The wooden handle grenade is not heavy, about half a kilogram, so soldiers can throw it fifty or sixty meters away.
As a result, the Japanese troops who were close to them suffered a lot.
Wherever there were crowds of people, these sergeants would throw wooden-handled grenades wherever they were, causing the Japanese pirates to scream.
There are also hell cocktails, these things are even more worthless. As soon as the sergeants saw the enemy's ladder set up, they threw it down as hard as they could.
The killing spree just now frightened them out of their courage, so now they don¡¯t even think about how to kill the Japanese pirates. Let¡¯s just let the Japanese pirates die under the city!
In less than half an hour, in addition to the normal killings and injuries, the Japanese actually killed more than 2,000 people under the city!
And these people didn¡¯t even have a chance to board the city and kill the Dakang army! !
There was no other way. The Japanese had no choice but to withdraw their troops and the two sides were temporarily out of contact.
¡¡
The Japanese called for gold and retreated their troops. After the Yangzhou City defenders confirmed this, they immediately began to clean up the battlefield on the city tower.
Bai Hengwang, who was guarding the soldier cave in the city tower, climbed out with a sigh of relief.
Looking at the corpses and the tragedy on the city wall, his face was very ugly.
"grown ups!"
Jiang Chenqian ran over. Although he was a civil servant, he was also wearing armor at this time and looked a bit majestic.
"We killed a total of three to five thousand Japanese, and our own casualties were around five or six thousand!" Jiang Chenqian added a little water and said excitedly: "If we fight according to this ratio, if the Japanese die another seven or eight thousand, they will not Dare to attack the city again!"
"Idiot!"
Bai Hengwang scolded him immediately: "Can you have some brains?"
Jiang Chenqian was scolded inexplicably, but he was used to being scolded by Bai Hengwang, so he wasn't too embarrassed.
He asked cautiously: "Sir, what do you mean"
"What does it matter if they die between three and four thousand? There are at least thirty thousand of them left!" Bai Hengwang said: "Most of our casualties are elites! How many of the remaining tens of thousands still have the same combat effectiveness? If one more person dies, Ten thousand people, we should collapse! The remaining strong men will be scared out of their wits and run straight home!"
"What should we do?" Jiang Chenqian was shocked.
"Replace half of the people, and let these strong men and guards make up the remaining half! No! Add another five thousand strong men to each tower!" Bai Hengwang said fiercely: "Let the veterans lead the new soldiers, so they meet After the blood, you will have fighting strength in two or three days! Only then will you be able to persevere!"
"But, we have wooden-handled grenades and hell cocktails! Do you see how powerful they were just now? The Japanese pirates were killed so much that they cried and howled!" Jiang Chenqian showed a ferocious expression in excitement, "Also, within two days, Master Miao It's about to arrive. Once he arrives, the pressure will be all on his side, and our Yangzhou City will be stable!"
"Idiot!"
Bai Hengwang cursed again, "You need some brains! Are our wooden handle grenades and hell cocktails unlimited? Don't you know how many we have left?"
While he was talking, the deputy sent by Bai Hengwang to clean up the idiots ran back.
"Sir!" The deputy was panting, with an ugly face: "There are still more than 2,000 wooden-handled grenades and 70,000 bottles of hell cocktails on the city wall."
"What!?"
Although he had already expected it in his mind, Bai Hengwang still didn't expect that there was only so little left!
He immediately got angry: "What are you doing? Huh? Do you think this is Hangzhou? How much can I replenish for you as much as I use it up? I finally bought 20,000 wooden handle grenades from Liu Renhuai, and you guys gave them to me in one morning I used almost half of it!?¡±
Last night, a total of 10,000 wooden-handled grenades were placed in the supply hole of the tower, but they were not for one day. Bai Hengwang planned to use them for two days.
In the end, eight thousand coins were used in less than two hours. This horse rider is going to defy the heavens! !
At this rate, it will all be used up today!
