"The closest to Bafang City is Zhenshuiguan. It's less than a hundred miles away. The Crusaders can arrive in at most three days. If you have any suggestions, please tell me." Zhao Yuan knew that this was not the time to show the courage of an ordinary man, and only Guang Guang could do it.
Na Jianyan, after all, he no longer only has a dozen space hunters following him, but behind him, there are hundreds of thousands of residents of Bafang City.
Now, Zhao Yuan had an exact understanding of the population of Bafang City.
The population of Bafang City far exceeded Zhao Yuan's imagination. The total population exceeded 200,000, and that did not include the population of surrounding villages and towns.
Now, because the good news of Bafang City has been passed on, the surrounding villagers have defected from all directions. The population is increasing rapidly. If it continues at the current rate, it will soon exceed 300,000. Moreover, once the news is passed, the number of stragglers who have defected will also increase.
There will be more and more, and Bafang City will be under tremendous pressure.
For Zhao Yuan, there were only two choices. First, lead the people in Bafang City to escape and fight all the way to Blackwater City; second, stay in Bafang City and hold on to contain some of the Crusaders' forces, waiting for Guo Ax to rescue them.
However, Zhao Yuan knew very well that neither first nor second place was possible.
Leading hundreds of thousands of people to flee is simply a dream. Let alone conquering cities and territories along the way, the problem of feeding hundreds of thousands of people cannot be solved.
As for the second one, it is even more unfeasible, because Bafang City is an isolated city, and Bafang City is a plain city, which is not suitable for defense at all. More importantly, Bafang City does not have much food, so it is not suitable for holding on.
As for Guo Ax's rescue, Zhao Yuan himself felt that it was unreliable. Leaving aside the fact that he was thousands of miles away, Guo Ax was probably too busy to take care of himself. Even if he knew that he was trapped in Bafang City, he would not be able to abandon the emperor to rescue this city without any military.
A lonely city of value.
Zhao Yuan was already in a dilemma, unable to get off the tiger.
The stragglers and villagers who are constantly coming from all directions will soon become a heavy burden on Bafang City. Once there is no food to eat, they will become a mob. At that time, Bafang City will collapse without the help of the Crusaders.
.
When he was in Wanjia, Zhao Yuan had seen the power of the mob.
Now, Zhao Yuan only hopes that God can arrange a figure similar to Zhuge Liang on Earth to advise him. As for the matter of fighting, leave it to him...
Zhao Yuan has one advantage. He will never pretend to understand something that he thinks he is not good at. Therefore, he recruits people. As the saying goes, one person can calculate the shortcomings and two people can calculate the strengths.
At first, people were afraid of Zhao Yuan and did not dare to speak out. However, after someone put forward their own opinions, people began to express their opinions one after another.
Just as Zhao Yuan guessed, after the feverish soldiers and civilians in Bafang City calmed down, they immediately realized the current difficult environment in Bafang City.
There is no foreign aid.
There is no food.
There are no war horse weapons.
There are no logistical supplies.
There is no well-trained army…
…
Some are full of passion.
Anyone with a little bit of military knowledge knows that when the gap between the weapons and military qualities of the two sides is too large, it is not difficult for fanaticism to make up for the gap.
Although there are hundreds of thousands of people in Bafang City at this time, it is estimated that there are less than 20,000 people who can actually fight on the battlefield. After short-term training, there may be more than 50,000. If we want to build the people of Bafang City into
A true iron-blooded soldier takes even longer time.
"General, I think that Bafang City is not suitable for holding on to, why not..." A squire with thick eyebrows and leopard eyes suddenly stood up and said.
"Say." Zhao Yuan had long noticed this richly dressed, rough-looking, and burly country squire because, from beginning to end, he was listening quietly.
"Bafang City is not a dangerous place, nor is it a battleground for military strategists. If I were a Crusader, I would not adopt a strategy of attacking with force..."
"How is it?" Zhao Yuan looked at this rugged country squire with interest.
"I will guard several passages of Bafang City and blockade Bafang City. Only entry is allowed but no exit. When the time comes, there is no need to send troops to attack. After the food is eaten, Bafang City will be destroyed by itself..."
"Well, that's right. Whether it's an attack or a siege, it's not good news for Bafang City. I wonder if you have any good ideas?" Zhao Yuan nodded. This rugged man is tough on the outside and meticulous on the inside, and is thoughtful here.
In turbulent times, it is easiest to stand out.
"General, this villain is Tu Laoer, the owner of Dog Head Villa." Seeing Zhao Yuan's praise, the rugged man was immediately flattered, smiling broadly and with a flattering look on his face.
"Nogtou Villa..." Zhao Yuan coughed and smiled.
"Hey, the general is laughing. Although our Goutou Villa is not a famous family in the Great Qin Empire, it is famous in Bafang City. General, if you need any cooperation, please tell me, Tu Lao Er, Tu Lao Er.
More than two hundred kilograms will be handed over to the general."
"Okay, okay! I just like your forthright temperament, Brother Tu. If Brother Tu has any suggestions, it's okay to just tell him." Zhao Yuan clapped his hands and laughed.
"Brother Tu...General, you are going to kill Tu Laoer..." Zhao Yuan shouted "Brother Tu" to Tu Laoer, who made cold sweat break out on his forehead and repeatedly held his hand.
"Brother Tu is a sweetheart at first glance. Why bother with such secular etiquette? I'm still waiting for Brother Tu's advice," Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"...General, Tu Lao'er feels that this Bafang City is a desperate situation. Once the city is defeated, it will be the day of massacre. In this case, we might as well not stop doing anything and fight out!" Tu Lao'er hesitated for a moment and then said the next part.
, high-spirited and heroic.
"You can't kill the second son..."
"Tu Laoer, could it be possible that the hundreds of thousands of people in Bafang City are following the army..."
"Tu Laoer, let's wait for the general's arrangements."
"..."
As soon as Tu Laoer finished speaking, a group of squires from Bafang City objected. On the contrary, a group of officers and soldiers from the Great Qin Empire agreed with Tu Laoer's proposal.
Zhao Yuan fell into silence for a while.
He had also thought about Tu Laoer's suggestion, but this suggestion was not the optimal choice. After all, killing them would mean abandoning Bafang City, and weapons and food were also a problem.
"Everyone, please be patient. The Crusaders will not attack Bafang City for the time being. We still have time to come up with a foolproof strategy.
Zhao Yuan stood up and prepared to end the meeting.
Now, Zhao Yuan needs some time to synthesize some information and draw an optimal conclusion.
In "Ten Thousand Enemies", in addition to cultivating the tyranny of the physical body, the cultivation of intelligence is no less than the cultivation of the physical body. When Zhao Yuan practiced the "quiet" state, his computing power improved by leaps and bounds, and he was able to survive the most difficult period.
This period was completely due to the development of the brain with "The Enemy".
"General, as long as the general is willing to send troops, Tu Laoer's Goutou Villa is willing to spend all his family wealth!" Tu Laoer became anxious when he saw that Zhao Yuan did not adopt his opinion.
Suddenly, the entire meeting hall fell into silence.
Zhao Yuan felt strange, and when he turned around, he saw that all the rich and gentlemen in Bafang City were looking at Tu Laoer in shock, their expressions filled with disbelief.
Zhao Yuan immediately realized something and his eyes fell on Tu Laoer.
"General, this is a matter of life and death. I hope General will think twice. I, Tu Lao'er, am willing to spend all my wealth and follow the general on behalf of the Tu clan, even if it means going up mountains of swords and seas of fire!" Tu Lao'er looked determined.
Zhao Yuan felt the horrified expressions of the surrounding squire.
Obviously, this Tu Lao Er is not a simple character, otherwise, they would not have such an expression.
"General, Dog Head Villa is the largest private property in Bafang City. The Tu family is also the richest family in Bafang City. Half of the land in Bafang City is the private property of the Tu family..." Dongzi saw Zhao Yuan's thoughts and quickly
He leaned over and whispered softly.
"Understood!" Zhao Yuan nodded meaningfully towards Tu Laoer.
Under everyone's awed gazes, Zhao Yuan strode out of the meeting hall, while Tu Laoer sat down on his chair with a lonely look on his face.
The first day passed without any surprises.
The Crusaders did not appear, but more and more refugees came from all directions.
It is certain that there must be Crusade spies among the refugees. However, currently, Zhao Yuan has no way to prevent the leakage of intelligence in Bafang City.
The current Bafang City is, to put it bluntly, an undefended city. The dilapidated city wall cannot play a defensive role at all.
The population of Bafang City is increasing, but in just one day, there is a shortage of food, because many merchants are reluctant to sell, and more people are hoarding food.
For three consecutive days, Zhao Yuan did not make any move. After these three days, Bafang City began to experience turmoil. Some people robbed in the street, and some rushed into the tavern to eat Overlord Meal...
