Chapter 216: The army is at the city

When several cavalrymen ran out, Qiu Zhiqing looked north and began to daze.

I just hope that I can persist for a long time, and I also hope that the left-behind personnel on the Great Wall Pier can retreat to the city safely.

As for restoring the Great Wall when you have time...

Haha, Qiu Zhiqing never thought that after the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was basically no threat to the north.

The high cost of maintaining the Great Wall was also taken to the northwest and fought with the Qiang people to the death.

The Great Wall of the Outer has not been maintained for two or three hundred years, and it is already dilapidated. It is a dream to build the Great Wall of the Outer with the power of a county.

The prefect of Yanmen County could only renovate Yanmen Pass and strengthen the city defenses of the counties outside Yanmen Pass!

When the Qiang people were rumored to be fierce, the imperial court spent 10 billion yuan every year on maintaining the military expenditure of the northwest border troops, and the garrison was as high as more than 600,000 yuan a year.

Naturally, the Great Wall outside was abandoned.

The guards of the pier were re-established after being attacked by the Xianbei last year!

If it weren't for the sudden arrival of the Xianbei people last year and had a battalion, Pingcheng, which had two thousand regular troops, wouldn't have fallen so quickly, and would have lasted for at least half a month.

This is why I want to move the villagers in the town outside the city to enter the city.

There are reserved fields and food in the city. If there is a sufficient population, Qiu Zhiqing will be confident that he will guard the city for a few months.

But the Xianbei will not spend a few months in this barren city. They are here to rob, not to slaughter the city!

And as a group of qualified robbers, they will not spend more time in the county town that has been looted by themselves for half.

Why half a time? Because although the city was broken last time, the treasury had not had time to move, it was defeated by the county soldiers led by the prefect of Yanmen County, relieving the danger of Pingcheng.

As expected, shortly after the messenger Gangcheng, the beacon towers in the north were filled with smoke from the sky, and the beacon towers passed on the urgent reports from this place.

The young and strong who had returned to the city before or had their own positions were still a little confused.

Why did I only hear the alarm sound of the bells, but I didn’t see the beacon smoke in the north?

At this moment, seeing the beacon fire in the north quickly transmitted, I breathed a sigh of relief and became nervous again!

Qiu Zhiqing secretly cursed that if these people didn't investigate, they would have a high-level warning message, and they were not afraid of being engaged in military law.

This was because Qiu Zhiqing misunderstood. Those who stayed behind in the dock naturally had their own investigation methods and their own judgments, otherwise no one would joke about their lives.

Qiu Zhiqing stood at the north city gate, watching the soldiers and young men busy, and began to transport various supplies to the top of the city.

Transport bundles of arrows to the top of the city wall and put the big pot and water rack on it.

When transporting materials to the city wall, some materials will be stored in the courtyard below the horse road to avoid piled up on the city wall and causing blockage.

Those carbohydrates are not used to boil water, but to prevent the water from freezing.

At this time, it is really like dripping water to turn into ice. It is much more effective to pour boiling water than pouring boiling water.

Pouring boiling water is simply a reward for Xianbei people.

There are about 400 soldiers in the city at this moment, and one unit is expanded based on Wu Xian's original Left Army Camp and more than 200 soldiers. Wu Xian is now also a military Sima, which is considered to be a promotion.

Further up, there is a lieutenant or a miscellaneous general. At his age, he is considered a rookie.

In addition, there are four hundred county soldiers and three thousand young and strong.
