Chapter 1106 The situation is grim

Wo is facing the city, I sleep on the city!

Zhu Ping'an's magical operation deeply shocked and infected the people who were crowded and fleeing in front of the city gate, and gave them a strong sedative.

The news that the county magistrate laid a shop on the ground on the city wall, vowing to live and die with the county, quickly spread throughout Jingnan County. The terrified atmosphere that had been hanging over Jingnan was dispelled in an instant.

So there is still some fear

"Master Zhixian, please, please order to open the city gate and let us escape from the city. Lord, I kowtow to you, please open the city gate and let me take my mother out of the city to escape."

"Master Zhixian, if you want to live and die with the county, you can live and die with the county, and we won't stop you, but you can't pull us. I'm cowardly, I don't want to die, I don't want to live with the county Survival."

"Master Zhixian, my old lady kowtowed to you, please order to open the city gate quickly. If you don't open the city gate, my old lady will not be able to kneel forever."

Although Zhu Pingan shocked and infected many people, there were still many people at the scene begging, or using the two words "threat" and "request" is more appropriate, asking Zhu Pingan to order the opening of the city gates and let them escape from the city.

"Fathers and folks, it's not that I, Zhu Ping'an, don't let everyone escape from the city, but that fleeing from the city at this time is undoubtedly seeking death. The Japanese pirates are burning, killing and looting outside the city. At this moment, they are gathering in the county. On the edge of the knife... At this time, staying in the city and relying on the city wall to defend is the best choice..."

Zhu Ping'an stood on the city wall and patiently explained to everyone that Zhu Ping'an's explanation was similar to Liu Dadao's previous explanation. After all, Liu Dadao's rhetoric at that time was also learned from Zhu Ping'an.

Just like Liu Dadao's explanation, many people who panicked and wanted to escape from the city did not buy it. They wanted to escape from the city wholeheartedly, so they didn't listen to Zhu Ping'an's explanation at all, and they didn't believe Zhu Ping'an's words.

In normal times, Zhu Ping'an would definitely continue to do their ideological work patiently. However, today is different, the Japanese pirates attack the city is imminent, the situation is very serious, and the defense situation of Jingnan County is not optimistic, Jingnan County is in danger, Zhu Pingan has no time to give them more explanations.

"Fathers and folks, please rise up. At this moment, the Japanese pirates are about to attack the city, and the city gate cannot be opened. I have to be responsible for tens of thousands of people in the county. Please forgive me." Zhu Pingan apologized to the city.

Suddenly, there was a lot of cursing and crying under the city wall.

Prioritizing matters, Zhu Pingan started to deploy the defense of Jingnan County against the cries and curses from the city.

Starting to deploy the defense, Zhu Pingan realized that the defense situation in Jingnan was far more severe than he had imagined.

The first problem is that there are few people.

The defensive forces in Jingnan County are mainly county government servants and city guards. There were 106 servants in three classes in the Jingnan County Yamen, but 23 people followed Li Dianshi and fled the city, leaving only 83 servants left. There are 80 city guards in Jingnan County, but 12 of them escaped, leaving only 68 guards. In other words, there are a total of 151 defenders available in Jingnan County.

Although the number of Japanese pirates who looted Jingnan is not clear, based on the scope of the Japanese pirates' rampage, it is estimated that there are no less than 2,000 people.

Our side has 151 people, while the Japanese pirates have more than 2,000 people. The ratio of the strength of the enemy to us is close to 20 to 1, and the enemy is seriously outnumbered. In addition, the more than 2,000 Japanese pirates are desperadoes who often see blood, and they are extremely ferocious. It is said that the real Japanese are all highly skilled in martial arts; the 151 people on our side... Yamen servants are okay to catch thieves and petty thieves. It is really difficult for them to go to the battlefield As for the soldiers defending the city, it can be seen that their armaments are slack, lack of training, and their bodies have been hollowed out by wine and sex. Zhu Pingan really dare not give much hope to their combat effectiveness.

However, as the current situation is, Zhu Pingan has no choice but to maximize their combat effectiveness.

In order to maximize their combat effectiveness. On the city wall, Zhu Ping issued three orders with the county seal.

A heavy reward order. Zhu Ping'an issued a heavy reward order: all government servants and soldiers who bravely guard the city will be rewarded with ten taels of silver each; those who are injured in the defense of the city will be rewarded with an additional ten taels of silver; The so-called heavy reward must have a brave man. Zhu Ping'an's heavy reward order more than doubled the spirit of the government servants and soldiers.

A decapitation order. Zhu Pingan named Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and six others, as well as six other yamen servants selected, a total of twelve people as war supervisors. Zhu Ping'an issued three decapitation orders: the war supervisor will execute the war supervisor first, and the soldiers will retreat; Whoever dares to violate the military order will be killed without mercy!

A defense order. Zhu Pingan divided 151 people, 30 people in total, into 5 city defense teams. One team was arranged at the east gate, the south gate, and the north gate respectively, and two teams were arranged at the west gate. Support each other at any time.

The second problem is that the defense equipment is useless.

First of all, there are no trenches outside Jingnan County, and there is no time to dig a trench due to the rush of time. As for things that resist the enemy, such as thistles, there are none.

Secondly, there is a serious shortage of defensive weapons. There is not a single cannon, the catapult has long since fallen apart and rotted away, but I found a few in the armament warehouse, but they were in disrepair for a long time, and most of them were unusable. Many roots. Zhu Ping'an ordered all three bed-sisters to be placed at the west gate. There are not many rolling logs, only eight, and the nailed sharp tools inlaid around the wood are also rusted, but they can still be used after polishing. Jingnan County does not have any of the spikes commonly used to defend the city.

Finally, the bow is not enough. There are only less than a hundred bows and not many feathered arrows in the military library in the county town.

The only good news is that there are quite a few standard sabers, spears and shields in the arsenal, enough to arm the government servants and soldiers, and there are still many left. In addition, there are some simple cloth-faced breastplates in the arsenal. Although the defense is not very good, after wearing the cloth-faced breastplates for the government servants and soldiers, it gave them a lot of comfort, and the sense of security increased by not a little bit. There is also a lot more courage.

Before the large Japanese army arrived, Zhu Pingan ordered the servants and soldiers to carry stones and giant logs to the city wall as defensive weapons.

In addition to these, Zhu Pingan also carefully prepared a "gluttonous delicacy" for the Japanese pirates: golden juice.

Zhu Pingan ordered people to go to nearby houses to collect an infinite amount of feces and urine, set up more than 30 large pots on the city wall, and boiled the mixture of feces and urine continuously until it boiled.

It is no exaggeration, the power and lethality of this "food" is much higher than other defensive weapons on the city wall.

This is the category of biochemical weapons.

It is hot autumn now, and the Japanese pirates are bareheaded, and the golden juice is boiled and poured down, which is enough to scald the Japanese pirates. Once scalded, the bacteria and microorganisms rich in feces will infect Japanese pirates through the wound. In this way, even if the Japanese pirates were lucky enough to return with their lives, they would die due to wound infection.
