Chapter 1267 Quickly open the door(2/2)
Instead of siegeing the city immediately, he asked the auxiliary soldiers who were following behind to busy resettle refugees first.
Cheng Mingzhen and Yang Hongli had already climbed to the top of the city.
Yangzhou City alarm bell masterpiece.
Thirty thousand soldiers are on standby.
In the city, two families will be given to each household to help guard. If the male family is not enough, the middle-aged man will be sent. If the male family is not enough, the elderly over fifty years old will also go to the city. If the old people are not enough, then the young and strong woman will go to the city.
"Zhang Chao's flag!"
Cheng Mingzhen sighed, when he met Zhang Chao for the first time in the battle to combat Liu Heita that year, Zhang Chao entered Mingzhou City as a white Ding to persuade the rebellion, opened Mingzhou City, and helped the Tang army kill Liu Heita. When he saw Zhang Chao, he was at the Qin King's celebration banquet.
At that time, Zhang Chao was just a very young man.
Sixteen years have passed, and this person has become famous all over the world.
It has stirred up the world.
"There are hundreds of warships, and there are estimated to be 50,000."
Yang Hongli's expression was also very bad.
The flood made them an isolated city, and now the troops from other parts of Huainan cannot come to help.
Relying on the 30,000 soldiers in the city and the young and strong in the city, I am afraid I can't defend it.
In fact, Zhang Chao doesn’t need to attack hard. If he breaks the dike, they will have to finish the game.
Afternoon.
Finally, a knight rode his horse to the city and shot a letter to the city.
A letter written by the prince Chengqian himself.
"The prince said he was here to rescue the disaster."
Cheng Mingzhen looked helpless.
After seeing it, Yang Hongli sighed.
This disaster relief came to the city, not only brought rice, grain, tents, medicines, etc., but also brought an army of 50,000.
"The prince's disaster relief fleet is more than this one, and there is another fleet of 50,000 people. It has gone from the sea to the north and entered the Huaihe River to rescue the disaster." Cheng Mingzhen's tone was aggravated when he said the word "disaster relief".
Enter the Huaihe River to rescue disasters.
What a fucking fuck.
"This is obviously going to take their backs, attack the two cities of Chuzhou, Shanyang and Xuyi, and maybe even attack Sizhou."
Shanyang and Xuyi are both Chuzhou cities in the north of Yangzhou. They are both located on the south bank of the Huai River and are also the estuary of the canal. Shanyang is the prefecture of Chuzhou. The northern end of the canal connecting the Yangtze River and the Huai River is where it enters the Huai River. The north side of Xuyi is the Yellow River, and the southern end of the canal connecting the Huai River, which enters the south bank of the Huai River, which connects the Yellow River, and the southern end of the canal connecting the Huai River, which enters the southern bank of the Huai River.
They are all strategic locations.
Now the Southern Army took advantage of the flood and went directly from the sea to the Huai River and surrounded the north.
This move is too vicious.
"God doesn't help us." Cheng Mingzhen sighed.
If it weren't for this flood, Yangzhou would have 30,000 troops, and the troops drawn by the imperial court from Huaibei, Henan and other places were still coming one after another. If Yangzhou can defend it, Chuzhou will be difficult to seize.
But now, this flood has helped the Southern Army.
In the afternoon, the wind stopped and the rain stopped.
Zhang Chao personally went to the city.
"Envoy Yang Xuanfu, Governor Cheng, open the door. We are here to rescue the affected people in Yangzhou."
Yang Hongli almost spurted out an old blood.
"Zhang Wenyuan, the people of Yangzhou have their own court to save and resettle, so you won't worry about Wenyuan."
"Mr. Yang, Duke Cheng, and His Highness the Crown Prince heard that the people in Yangzhou were seriously affected, so he specially asked someone to bring a lot of food, firewood, charcoal, tents, clothes, medicines, etc. to express his condolences. How could you stop me outside the door? Open the door quickly."
