I’m Really Not Wrong

  Chapter 54 Reinforcements

  There are more than 200,000 people in Stone Fire City. How difficult is it to transfer all these people away in 13 days?

   First of all, which city can receive so many people?

  Counties at the same level are definitely not capable, only the state capital is possible.

   It takes six hours to ride a horse from Stone Fire City to the state capital.

   If you walk, it will take three days and three nights even without rest.

   What is even more difficult is that in Stone Fire City, including the defenders, all the warriors are full of fighters and add up to two to three thousand people.

  How can so few people protect more than 200,000 people to travel such a long distance?

  If people disturb the team in the middle of the night and the team is in chaos, then everyone will be finished.

   "Teacher, ask the state government for help. It is impossible to transfer so many people in such a short time with the power of Stone Fire City alone."

  Chen Che said in a deep voice.

   "Well, I will go to the guard now and ask him to go to the state capital himself!"

  Wang Jingming cheered up quickly, and hurried towards the county office.

  …

   Half an hour later.

  The six people rode fast horses and left Stone Fire City from all directions, heading straight for the state capital.

  Wang Jingming called the heads of the major families in the city together overnight to discuss countermeasures.

   Early the next morning.

  The news that Lieyang Stone Mine was emptied spread throughout Stone Fire City.

  At the same time, Stone Fire City also announced that it has entered a wartime state, the city gates are closed, and all residents of the outer city have moved into the inner city.

  In addition, all strategic materials such as horse carts, ox carts, mule carts, Lieyang stone grains, etc. were also handed over and distributed uniformly.

  Anyone who disobeys orders or hides strategic materials will be suppressed vigorously.

  After beheading dozens of people, everyone became submissive.

   One day later.

  The outer city, which accounted for nine-tenths of Stonefire City, became empty, and more than 200,000 people all moved into the inner city area.

  …

   The second night.

  In the study, Wang Jingming made a list of all the collected materials.

   "The granary was burned down last night, and now Stone Fire City only has enough food for ten days."

  Wang Jingming frowned slightly.

  Behind him, Chen Che said softly: "If a large number of people are transported away, the food is still enough."

   "That's true, I hope the state capital can get news as soon as possible."

  Wang Jingming said as he turned around and looked at Chen Che.

   "You may have to work hard these few days."

   "Cough cough cough...not hard."

  Chen Che coughed twice.

  Although the teacher is a great Confucian, but due to his old age, his noble spirit can only protect the inner city.

   Because of this, all the residents of the outer city had to be transferred to the inner city.

  In this case, the teacher can't move around.

   So some very important things had to be done by him.

   Like distributing food and water…

  Restaurants, pharmacies, brothels, and gambling houses in the inner city are all closed now, and now all the people living in them are residents from the outer city.

  With so many people gathered in the inner city, if there is a poisoning incident or a plague breaks out, the consequences will be disastrous.

  So there must be a very reliable person in charge of these things.

  He took the initiative to take over the matter.

  No way, if this matter is done by other people, he is really worried.

  …

  Boom boom boom!

   Not long after, there was a sudden knock on the door.

  Hearing this movement, Wang Jingming stood up abruptly.

   "Come in! Knock on the door when it's time!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the study was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in a black suit with a haggard face walked into the study quickly.

   This person is Jin He, the guard of Stone Fire City, who has a cultivation base of Dirty Refining Realm, and he is also the person who took the shortest way to the state capital last night to ask for help.

   It takes six hours to ride a fast horse from Stone Fire City to the state capital. Now about twelve hours have passed, which is exactly one day and one night.

  The fact that Jin He was able to come back in a hurry shows that he didn't stop at all on the way.

   "General Jin, what does the state capital say?"

  Wang Jingming asked impatiently when he saw Jin He.

   "The state capital is willing to help us with all its strength!"

  Jin He's voice was a little hoarse, his eyes were even redder, and he didn't know if it was from tiredness or anxiety.

  Hearing this answer, Chen Che was not surprised.

  If Stone Fire City is slaughtered, the surrounding cities will be under great threat.

  So it is impossible for the state capital to let it go.

   "General Jin, sit down and talk slowly."

  Wang Jingming personally brought a chair and placed it next to Jin He.

After Jin He sat down, he continued: "Mr. Wang, you also know that this time of the year is the time when the evil spirits are the most rampant, and the group of minions near the state capital seem to have heard something, and now they are united. A look of waiting for an opportunity.

  In addition, many important figures in the state capital have been assassinated recently.

   Alas, all in all, the state capital is also under a lot of pressure. "

   "I know, just tell me how much support they can give Stone Fire City."

  Wang Jingming's tone was dignified.

   "A total of 8,000 horse-drawn carts, ox carts, and mule carts, 10,000 soldiers and warriors, and four great Confucian scholars."

   Jin He returned.

   Then he added another sentence.

   "This is already the maximum power that the state capital can mobilize, and the state capital has now entered a state of emergency, and a large number of warriors have been forcibly recruited.

  If it weren't for this, it really wouldn't be possible to make up 10,000 people. "

  Beside Chen Che heard the words and quickly calculated in his mind.

  Whether it is a horse or a warrior, it is impossible to run for more than ten days in a row.

  So this batch of forces must be divided into two batches of actions.

   One batch is 4,000 vehicles of various types, 5,000 warriors plus two great scholars.

  Including the vehicles from Stone Fire City, a batch of up to 20,000 people can be transported.

  The speed of riding these cars is much slower than riding a horse, and a batch may have to be transported for a day and a night.

   There are still twelve days left... It stands to reason that they can transport all the people in Stonefire City away.

   But the problem is that the state capital only said that they can mobilize so many forces. How long will it take for them to rush to Stone Fire City after they are really mobilized?

   Calculated in this way, it would be good to be able to ship ten batches.

   In other words, it is very likely that some people in Stone Fire City will be abandoned.

  …

  Wang Jingming looked pensive, and sat down slowly after a long time.

   There are 5,000 warriors and two Confucian scholars in a transport team, which is enough to protect 20,000 civilians from human minions and evil spirits.

   But there's one more problem...

  Wang Jingming took out a map and spread it out on the desktop.

   There are several dangerous places in the middle of the official road from Stone Fire City to the state capital.

  In case the group of people set up ambushes in these dangerous places with weapons such as bows and crossbows, it would be impossible to defeat the 5,000 government troops, but it would be no problem to disturb the cattle and horses and kill some civilians.

  When the team riots and the civilians start running around, it will still be over.

  After thinking about it, Wang Jingming said quietly: "General Jin, you should go and inform the people of the Jishi League now, and ask them to guard these dangerous positions and not let anyone approach them."

"it is good!"

  Jin He replied heavily, and then ran out quickly.
