At this time, there was already a panic in the original city. The Han army suddenly arrived, causing the original city to fall into horror. The shops were closed, the taverns were closed, and every family was closed, and the streets were deserted. Only by chance would a team of soldiers run by.

Not only were the ordinary people panic, but the army was also extremely nervous. Except for five men to maintain order, the remaining troops were all on the city to defend. Despite this, they were still busy and cups of food, which was far from meeting the needs of defending the city. From top to bottom, the officers and soldiers guarding the city had no confidence.

The former governor, the governor Wang Yan, the governor of Bingzhou Qianzhao and the chief Xinping were discussing countermeasures urgently. People were in a very heavy mood. They never thought that the Han army would suddenly arrive, which made them passive.

Qian Zhao sighed and said, "I heard that the Prime Minister confronted the Han army in Runan. The war in Guanzhong has not yet subsided. Now the Han army suddenly came to the original state again. Cao's army lost sight of one thing and was led by Liu Jing, which was simply passive."

"Leading the Governor"

The governor Wang Yan raised his voice a little dissatisfied, "Now is not the time to say such words. Now we are discussing countermeasures and how to deal with the sudden attack of the Han army."

"Countermeasures" Qian Zhao sneered: "The battle of Guanzhong transferred most of the Bingzhou army, and the entire Bingzhou had only 12,000 people, 4,000 Yanmen County, 1,000 Hedong County, and 5,000 people in the original city, and at least 10,000 people on the other side. I don't understand how to fight this battle."

Qian Zhao's tone was full of complaints. At that time, he strongly opposed the transfer of Bingzhou army to Guanzhong, but Wang Yan told the Prime Minister that Bingzhou was not a big problem. Now that the consequences have come, it depends on his 5,000 troops to deal with it. It is hard for a good cook to cook without rice. Even if he has the talent to be able to fight against thousands of troops.

At this time, Xin Ping said carefully: "I'll propose a plan."

Wang Yan glanced at Qian Zhao coldly and asked Xin Ping, "Tell me what the plan is."

Xin Ping thought for a while and said, "We can mobilize the people to participate in defending the city, and in addition, we urgently ask for help from Yedu. I guess the Han army came on a long journey and did not have any siege weapons. Even if we temporarily make siege weapons, it will take a few days. We will hold on for another two days. Perhaps the reinforcements from Yedu will arrive. Let's see what happens."

“This is the best solution”

Wang Yan praised: "In this way, we will have time to defend the city, and there is no shortage of money and food in the city, so we can use it to recruit civil servants."

Speaking of this, his face sank and asked Qian Zhao again, "What does General Qian think?"

Although Qianzhao was full of resentment, he also knew that now was not the time to complain, and he had to deal with the crisis with all his might. He remembered the caravan he saw a day ago and pondered: "I also support Xin Changshi's suggestion. I am also worried that there are already spies from the Han army in the city. The most fear of defending the city is the inside and outside, especially when we have few troops, the city will be in danger once there are more than one person.

"Since that's the case"

Wang Yan immediately made a decision: "All hotels, taverns, brothels, shops, and all rental houses must be investigated. No one is allowed to be left alone. If you lead the general, I will ask the government to cooperate with the army and start the city from now on."

Although the military and political affairs are their own, the recruitment is far lower than Wang Yan in terms of qualifications and official positions. He had to implement Wang Yan's orders. He immediately stood up and said, "I'll make arrangements now."

Wang Yan commented to Xin again: "It's too slow to send a pigeon letter. First use beacon to warn, and then send a pigeon letter to ask for help."

As the sky turned dark, the beacon towers in the north of the original city were lit. The thick smoke mixed with fire rose into the air, and a warning was issued to Yedu, heading east, and beacon towers were lit immediately, and the beacon towers on the hiking mountain also ignited the beacon fire of warning.

At the same time, he mobilized two thousand troops, and with the cooperation of the famous yamen runners, he began to investigate door to door in the original city. The original city suddenly became a mess and became a mess.

Zhang Qu, the shopkeeper of Nan'an Hotel, hurried back to his hostel. As soon as he entered the gate, he ordered: "Close the store door and stop business."

He came to the backyard with great worries and happened to meet Wu Ban. Seeing that he had a strange expression, Wu Ban asked, "Eunuch Zhang, what happened?"

Zhang Qu said nervously: "The army has started the city, and there are soldiers everywhere on the streets. Niu Er just now told me that the city is very strict this time. It is useless to lead the team in person, and it is useless to stuff money. The foreigners who have more than ten people in their company will be captured and will be here soon."

Zhang Qu was very worried that there was an Eagle Strike Army in his hostel, which was easy to be found. What should he do? He thought about it and said, "Why don't you let your brothers hide in the secret room first, squeeze in, and feel wronged for half an hour, and then you'll be fine."

Wu Ban asked in thought, "Do you want to check the house from door to door?"

"You want a big house for rent, but you don't have an ordinary house."

Wu Ban looked at Ye Se and smiled and said, "This is not a big problem. I have a way to deal with it. Let me just remove the traces of our stay and face it calmly."

Zhang Qu was suspicious, what he was going to do.”

Half an hour later, several Cao's soldiers finally arrived at the slums in the southwest corner. Countless torches shone the streets as daylight, leading the horses on the war, their faces were gloomy. After checking for more than an hour, they captured several people, but he felt that he had not found the real Han army spies, especially when he saw the caravans a day ago, they had not found them yet, and there was no record of their departure from the city.

Intuition told him that those people must have problems, and they were in the city, "Check it carefully, and you must check it in the cellar." Qianzhao said loudly.

At this time, more than a dozen soldiers smashed open the Nan'an Hotel, and the soldiers did not explain. The rest of the people rushed in like a wolf and tiger, and they found it overwhelmingly. Qianzhao also walked into the hostel. He looked at the hostel. It took a large area and many houses, and obviously it could hide many people. He became suspicious and ordered the checkered tooth: "This hostel must check me carefully, especially if there are any cellars, secret rooms, etc."

"Abide by the order"

General Ya led the soldiers to check carefully. Qianzhao walked around the hostel and found that there were no guests in the hostel, which made him even more suspicious. At this moment, a soldier rushed to report: "General, we found a secret room."

Qianzhao was energetic and quickly followed the soldiers to the backyard. At this time, several soldiers were concentrated inside and outside the study, tense and ready. The bookshelf in the study was also removed. Ya Jiangzheng ordered Zhang Qu to open the door. Zhang Qu explained again: "This secret room was used by the former owner to take refuge. It has nothing to do with me, it is full of miscellaneous things."

At this time, Qianzhao strode into the study, and the soldiers dodged one after another. Qianzhao glanced at the door of the secret room and said coldly: "Breaking it open"

A soldier stepped forward and kicked the door hard together. With a loud bang, the door of the secret room was kicked open, and there were dark holes inside. Dozens of soldiers shot arrows into the secret room at the same time. After a while, several soldiers took torches and walked into the secret room. The secret room was quite large, and it was filled with various ragged boxes, cabinets, beds, no prohibited objects, and no one hid inside.

Zhang Qu explained: "I said that it is really all miscellaneous things, so you don't believe it."

Qian Zhao turned around and grabbed his clothes, and said viciously: "I'll ask you why there is no guest in your hotel?"

Zhang Qu pretended to be frightened and said, "There were a few guests from Zhongyuan. When they heard that the Han army was coming, they were scared away. The shop was small and profitable, but it turned out to be a cemetery. No customer would be willing to live here."

At this time, the soldiers had finished all the places and came back to report: "You reported to the general, no suspicious person was found."

Qian Zhao then let go of his clothes and said hatefully: "Give up you first. If there is any situation, report to the army immediately."

"It must be certain"

Holding hands waved, "Go to the next house"

Several soldiers left the hotel and smashed the door of a low-level brothel not far away. Zhang Qu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Wu Ban refused to hide from the secret room, otherwise it would be over. In fact, he didn't know that even if he was arrived, the soldiers of the Eagle Strike Army would be more than enough to deal with these Cao troops, but Wu Ban didn't want to alert the enemy.

In the next house, Wu Ban and dozens of soldiers hid in the room. The owner of the house was squatting in the corner and was trembling with fear. Seeing that Cao Jun had left, Wu Ban said to the owner: "I won't kill you, but you dare to report the letter, I will kill your whole family."

The male owner was frightened and said, "We dare not say it, just pretend nothing happened."

“That’s right”

He opened the door and led the soldiers to climb over the wall and returned to the hostel, but Wu Ban was still cautious and left a few soldiers to guard the family. He started to do it after two hours. It would be two hours later.

The chaos continued until the first update. At this time, military information suddenly came from outside the city, and it was found that the Han army was filling the moat with sandbags outside the East City.

The sudden situation forced Qianzhao to stop the army and led the army to the East City. On the top of the city, more than a thousand Cao troops were shooting arrows downward in a dense manner, but the night was dark and the situation below could not be seen clearly. The soldiers could only shoot arrows at will, with almost no effect.

At this moment, five thousand crossbowmen of the Han army arrived and lined up to shoot arrows at the city wall. The dense arrows shot overwhelmed the sky, making the city wall sound, suppressing the Cao army soldiers.

He walked up to the city wall quickly, and under the cover of more than a dozen soldiers holding shields, he carefully looked down. In the darkness, countless black shadows rushed towards the moat.

The moat itself has frozen, but because the water surface is shallow and there is a certain gap between the two sides of the river, it is not convenient for large-scale siege tools such as nest vehicles and siege rams to operate. Therefore, the river surface must be filled with sandbags, and at least one flat one must be filled.

Qian Zhao was very worried. Could it be that the Han army brought large siege weapons? When attacking Chen Cang, the Han army was temporarily assembled heavy siege vehicles and other heavy siege weapons. Perhaps the Han army would assemble overnight, otherwise they would not be so anxious to fill the river surface.
