Chapter 36 Design to meet the enemy (for collection)
Leading these people into Xinghua City together, Xiao Qi saw that Xinghua City is not big at all.
Now, except for some poor people and some old, weak, sick and disabled, all those who can run have already run away.
After ordering people to assign people to stand guard on the city wall, Xiao Qi came to the Xinghua county government office where no one had escaped.
He ordered three carriages to be transported into the county government office, and he and a group of people came to a spacious hall to discuss how to defend the city.
I heard from those capitals and generals who had retreated that there is another golden team of about [-] people who will arrive soon.
The hundred golden soldiers killed earlier were probably the vanguard of that golden soldier.
Not all of the Jin soldiers were cavalry. After excluding the one hundred cavalry in this thousand-man team, there were probably at most two hundred cavalry.
The rest are pawns, Xiao Qi made a calculation in his mind.
Defending the city is the easiest in this era, and the casualty ratio of the attacking party must be at least three to one. Even if the city wall is tall and strong, ten to one may not be able to defeat it.
So he ordered the four gates to be closed and blocked with heavy objects. The soldiers on the city wall paid attention to the enemy's situation and rotated every hour.
The others hurry up and rest, and Huotoujun makes food quickly to make these people full before talking about it.
When these people dispersed, only Xiao Qi and Zhang Xiu were left in the whole courtyard, Xiao Qi asked Zhang Xiu to tidy up a bedroom and come out.
He came to the three carriages to check what was inside.
As a result, Xiao Qi was stunned when he opened those boxes on a carriage!
What’s more, there are ten boxes of official silver in it, maybe 3 to [-] taels!
I went to check the other two cars and found that these two cars were full of people looting money from wealthy businessmen and common people.
Instead, there was a small box full of gold ingots and gold jewelry, and the other box contained some jewelry.
Xiao Qi was furious looking at the scattered money of this car, these bastards!
When confronting the enemy, he knows how to run, but when he encounters his own people, he is like a wolf and a tiger. If he doesn't need people to defend the city now, he really wants to kill them all.
But he didn't think about handing them all over. Turning over some spoils of war at this time was just a matter of course. No one would ask these generals to hand over all of them.
The emperor did not send hungry soldiers, but it was not just as simple as not letting those soldiers starve.
Xiao Qi put those large ingots of official silver, and those gold nuggets that could only be saved by wealthy families, into one of the few warehouses that he could just use.
It is because the warehouse space is limited, and these spaces can be mixed with things.
Looking at the space where several boxes have been put in, it is still very empty.
Xiao Qi turned around and went to the door and asked the soldiers: Did you find the grain depot and weapons depot in this county?
Xiao Qi was soon led to the granary and saw that half of the large granaries were still full.
Xiao Qi ordered people to open a granary, and after his Huotou Army received enough food, the remaining food in the warehouse was distributed to the remaining people in the city.
The rest of the people in the city are poor and destitute, and those who feel that there is no way out even if they run away. They heard that the new general will open a warehouse to release grain. .
When he came to the armory, Xiao Qi was very disappointed. There were some knives, guns, bows and arrows in it, but there was no five-meter spear that he wanted.
Not even the gun ends, looking at these weapons, Xiao Qi had an idea, and put all the broken swords and gun ends into his warehouse, and finally felt that there were too few, so he also put in the swords that seemed to be of poor quality Not a lot.
Coming out of the warehouse, he ordered people to open these armories, and let the sergeants replace the weapons they needed.
In less than an hour, those soldiers who had already had dinner also changed their own weapons.
After Xiao Qi sent them all away, he took all the rest into his warehouse.
In the future, I can fuse all these things into a 棹 (zhao fourth sound) knife.
The machete is another sharp weapon against cavalry in ancient times.
This kind of long knife looks like a rowing wood pulp. Both sides of the knife body are sharpened. The tip of the knife is the widest, and the tip of the middle of the three knife points is the longest, like a mountain character. A 1.5-centimeter-long knife tail is added to the counterweight, which the ancients called it a 鐏.
Because 棹 also used to describe oars in the past, such a knife is called 棹刀.
This machete can stab or chop, because the head of the knife is nearly two feet long and nearly one foot wide. Such a knife can often cut off the head of a war horse with one blow.
More powerful than this kind of sword is the Mo Dao of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, because the whole of the long sword is forged with iron, the amount of iron used is large. In the end, no dynasty can equip a large number of troops. Slowly after a thousand years , the craftsmanship of that kind of knife is lost.
Just before they left the yard of the warehouse after cleaning up, a soldier came to report that a troop of horses had come from ten miles to the north.
Xiao Qi immediately assembled the army, went back and rode his horse, and when he came to the team, his more than 1000 people had already assembled in the north gate.
Xiao Qi went up to the north city to check. It was already dark at this time, and the golden soldiers were walking around lazily with torches on.
It seemed that they didn't get the news that the Centurion had been wiped out.
Bowing his head and thinking for a while, Xiao Qi came down to the top of the wall and told his soldiers that those golden soldiers were tired from the long journey.
And they seemed to think that the previous centurion had already occupied Xinghua City, so they had no defense at all.
He was going to lead people to ride the dozens of horses he had now, and pretend to be the centurion to kill them by surprise.
When they get close, lead people to rush over and fight the people in front of them, and then you rush out to cover up the kill.
Don't be afraid, Jin Bing is already very tired after walking so far, and it is night.They have no idea how many of us there are.
He ordered people to pull all the horses that could ride over, and let those who could ride horses and use long weapons sign up.
The soldiers of Xiao Qi's Changsheng Battalion signed up one after another to go, Xiao Qi told them not to fight, this time they must be able to ride horses proficiently and use long weapons on horseback.
Perhaps it was the morale of those in the Changsheng Battalion that aroused the courage of those in the rout. Several people came out and said that they were good at riding and could use long spears on horseback.
After confirming the manpower, Xiao Qi ordered people to remove the heavy objects blocking the city gate.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard the sound of horse hooves, and saw three horsemen filing in. Waiting for these three careless people, they shouted: "Is there any meat? I'm starving to death."
Suddenly, he heard the gate of the city behind him close, and when he looked left and right, there was a Song army in front of him!
Before they could cry out, a row of spears strung the three men into gourds.
