"Since Wei Yan dared to cut off the road of our army, I would have this speculation." After General Wu finished, he became more and more dignified when he saw people’s faces. "Maybe I was worrying too much. It’s getting late. Let the brothers cheer up to prevent Jingzhou troops from attacking the city at night!"
More than ten miles outside the city, Liu Congfa is waiting for the staff officer of the Staff Office to deduce the situation around the sand table.
"At the latest, the afternoon after tomorrow, Cao Hong will know that our general Wei has cut off the road from Kunyang to Xiangcheng, and there are still three days to mobilize the military forces, and it is impossible for Xiangcheng Jun to send troops to rescue Kunyang without authorization if he is not allowed to be ordered by Cao Hong." A young staff officer stood upright next to the sand table and told Liu Cong and Fazheng that he was born in Jingzhou aristocratic family when he was just sixteen years old the year before last, and he was sent by his father to become an ordinary juvenile guard.
However, this little brain is clever, studious and interested in marching and fighting. Now it has grown into a junior staff officer.
Liu cong slightly turned to Fazheng and said, "I wonder if Ma Chao will respond?"
Fa Zheng replied, "If it is not bad as expected, Ma Chao will personally lead the troops to help."
"He wants to establish the prestige of the Chinese army?" "It’s a good idea, but it’s likely to disappoint him," said Liu Cong with a white smile.
The staff officer lang went on to say that "after General Wei set up camp, the scouts of the candidate’s headquarters went to spy and were blocked by our scouts."
"Tell me about our scouts’ discovery," said Liu Cong to the young staff officer Lang.
After being informed by the scouts, Liu Cong nodded, "It seems that the candidate will learn from this loss and hide back to the city to rely on the city wall to defend."
The information reported by the staff officer was carefully sorted by dozens of staff officers. When Liu Cong said this, the staff officer went on to say that "the grain hoarded by Kunyang City should have been able to defend for a month, but now the candidate department can support dozens of days when it enters the city."
"Even if the defenders are not in a hurry, Cao Hong should be in a hurry, right?" Liu Cong rubbed Ba Hu stubble and said, "What would happen if Ma Chao personally led the troops to help us?"
Account you staff have their own ideas, after listening to Liu Cong said with a smile to Fazheng, "Filial piety will train them well, consider the problem very well, and have a unique view, but I think whether it is possible for Ma Chao to lead Zhongjun deeper and deeper?" Only in this way can our army enter the ministries to win more, and it will also make the situation more favorable to us. "After Liu Cong came up with this idea, all of you in the account were lost in thought for a while …
☆ Chapter one hundred and thirty-four Clouds are like rain.
The sky has been very bad since the early morning, and gloomy clouds are hanging over it, which makes people feel very depressed, especially for the people of Kunyang City, where there are many Jingzhou military camps outside the city, so that the sky looks more encrypted and terrible. The flag is hung down and motionless by an autumn wind show, but it fails to cheer up the defenders of Chengtou. They cringe and hide at the corner of the crib, like branches shaking and dead leaves in the autumn wind.
Looking into the distance from the city head, Jingzhou military camp divides a large plain composed of farms, Woods and fields into several blocks. Some houses have not been damaged by war, while others have some broken walls. Those fast-moving black spots look unreal. Woods and undulating roads are looming.
The night watchman dragged his tired body. At the end of the main road in Chengtou, there were some rough logs that refused to ride horses. They smelled of mildew and urine, and they were tied up. A piece of rope was broken from somewhere and just hung and floated in the wind.
Houses near the city wall have been requisitioned by the garrison. Some houses have been demolished, so they have made room for the thunderbolt car. The thunderbolt car looks more and more ferocious and ugly, but it brings some strange comfort. When passing by this thunderbolt car, a young foot soldier looks up in awe, while those strong men who control the thunderbolt car look at these ordinary foot soldiers with superior arrogance.
After the thunderbolt, there was a defensive line composed of antlers who refused to ride horses. At this time, the camp was a mess. There were water carriers, carpenters and horses, and the narrow camp was full of people.
Not far from this camp, there is a big house whose gate has been closed since a few days ago, but since the candidate’s headquarters re-entered the city yesterday, the owner has asked his servants to defend his house, but there are still many people in the local clan, including many officials in Kunyang City. The owner is close to relatives and friends, so it can be said that Kunyang will shake three people.
The owner, surnamed Zhang, is now in his sixties, and his beard was well maintained. It seems a bit messy these days, just like the present situation of Kunyang City.
"It’s time to come …" He stroked his beard and looked at the gray sky, sighing that behind him was an old servant who had followed him for many years. He glanced at his worries and asked, "In that case, he should have gone with Dagong to Xudu or be sleepy today."
Zhang Weng stare blankly for a then slowly shook his head, "many? I’m afraid it’s hard to protect Xu Du this time. How can my family leave their homes and businesses to go elsewhere if they live here? I heard that Liu Jingzhou is not evil, and people will always give us a way out? "
The old servant bowed his head and said, "I’m afraid the facts made by those Chinese tigers and wolves the other day are worrying."
"Hum, these remnants of Dong Zhuo should be swept away, but they invite wolves into the room?" Zhang Weng sighed and turned to the old servant and said in a low voice, "Your nephew is both a Jingzhou army and a Sima. Can he always keep a house safe?"
The old servant nodded at once. "This is natural!"
Zhang Weng said, "It’s a little different since childhood …"
Before he finished, he heard a man rushing to the front gate and shouted, "Siege! Jingzhou army attacked the city! "
Zhang Wengwen was surprised and hurriedly turned to look out of the courtyard. Although he couldn’t see anything except cloudy days, he seemed to have heard the fight. Although he was assured from the old servant, he didn’t pin all his hopes on the Jingzhou army as a "good nephew" of Sima. After all, Zhang’s family in Kunyang is a big family, and it has always had a name of loyalty and righteousness. Anyway, Xu is the orthodox court.
On the one hand, he doesn’t want to suffer bad luck in the troubled times of his family, on the other hand, he should pay close attention to the situation and pay attention to the various forces to choose from among them.
Zhang Weng knows more about Jingzhou than the average person. After all, his status and position can be exposed to many ordinary people, but he can’t touch people and things. It seems that although Liu Cong is young, he has become unstoppable. Judging from the actions of Pingjiang East, Dingxichuan and Hanzhong in recent years, Liu Cong’s ambition is not just to dominate one party.
According to Zhang Weng’s understanding of Jingzhou aristocratic families from various aspects, although some families have been ruined, most of them have been doing well, especially since Liu Cong took charge of Jingzhou, which is especially evident in Nanyang. All the aristocratic families that Liu Cong did right have vanished, while Liu Cong’s combination has grown stronger and stronger.
If Zhang Kunyang had not lived in Kunyang for generations, Zhang Weng, the capital of Kunyang, might have moved his family to Jingzhou long ago. After Liu Cong captured Kunyang twice, he took the initiative to give up. He also frightened Zhang Weng and secretly gave birth to a little regret.
"Jingzhou army is afraid of breaking the city just these days." Zhang Weng gently coughed a few times while covering her mouth and said to the old servant, "You have to watch the door tightly and be looted by mutinous soldiers."
After waiting for the old servant to go to Zhang Wengli Hall, he thought for a moment and finally shook his head and went back to the hall.
The siege of Jingzhou army caused a great shock to the people of the city. The first two times, Jingzhou army soldiers surrounded Xudu. At that time, Kunyang Shoujiang simply chose to surrender when he saw Jingzhou’s great military potential. The second time, Jingzhou army elite quickly broke through Chengtou. For the people of the city, Jingzhou soldiers had already entered the city.
However, this time, many thundercars and stone bullets were laid outside the different Jingzhou military cities to bombard the city walls and shock the ground. How can people feel it?
Defending troops in Chengtou is another kind of feeling. In addition to erecting a giant thunderbolt car with a height of 30 feet, Jingzhou Army has some smaller but quite flexible small thunderbolt cars. Compared with small thunderbolt cars, giant thunderbolt cars have a faster launch speed because they make the stone bullets smaller, so if one or two cars are also enough, but dozens of such small thunderbolt cars have surpassed those giant thunderbolt cars when they are launched together.
The large and small stone shells are different from the dense raindrops, which caused great damage.
"Boom!" Although a huge stone bullet didn’t hit the crib mouth of Chengtou, it passed through the crib mouth and directly hit the thin female wall, which was immediately knocked out of a huge gap. The stone bullet roared from the gap with flying rubble! Cheng Tou Cao Jun soldiers saw that they were running away, and those who reacted slowly were smashed into a pool of meat by falling stones.
Stone bombs attacked Chengtou to defend Cao Jun, but he fought back with great casualties.
When the Jingzhou Army approached the city wall, it kept throwing stone bullets outside the city. However, even if it can hit one or two Jingzhou Army thundercars, how can it stop more thundercars from approaching?
The candidate hiding in the city was pale. He had heard about this siege weapon before, but he didn’t expect it to be so powerful that it rained stones on him, not to mention that the cavalry charge was hiding in the city, which was also uncomfortable.
"The general can’t go like this!" When the lieutenant saw it, he quickly said to the candidate, "Such a passive beating will sooner or later be broken by Jingzhou Army!"
The candidate shouted angrily, "What do you say?"
The lieutenant gritted his teeth and said, "Only by rushing out of the city and destroying all this work can we keep the city wall!"
While talking, a stone bullet roared past the candidate’s head and inserted the flagpole beside the candidate. The flag embroidered with the candidate’s name was wrapped in a stone bullet and crossed the city head. "Boom!" I don’t know how many people were killed and injured when I hit the city and listened to the screams of the city.
A guard behind the candidate got up and got ready to get close to the candidate, but he didn’t prevent a fist from roaring from the city and hitting him on the cheek! The guards stuffy hum a overturned face blurred blood cross-flow hands and feet twitched for a few times and then suddenly froze and died. The horror looked terrible.
"Come to the city!" The candidate felt that he couldn’t stay in this city for a moment. He lay down on his hands and feet and climbed to the horse path. The lieutenant also followed suit and crawled behind the candidate’s ass.
It’s not a long way, but the candidate climbed full head and sweated, and he was almost hit by gravel. It’s so thrilling. Finally, Chengtou’s helmet is skewed and armor looks dirty.
"It’s a good thing that we entered the city, otherwise the camp built with those wooden stakes is now afraid of being smashed into a pile of fragments." After the candidate fled to a relatively safe city, he looked at the gloomy sky and said to the lieutenant, "You’re right. It seems that you must go out of the city to attack Jingzhou Army and destroy these catapults to keep the wall."
Instead, I rushed to the main book and said to the candidate, "General, don’t worry!"
A glaring candidate "don’t worry? If the Jingzhou army breaks through the wall later, we will all be finished! "
"General, don’t wait?" The main book lowered its voice and said to the candidate, "When reinforcements arrive, there will always be opportunities in deus ex. At that time, even if Kunyang City is taken away by Jingzhou Army, what will we have?"
His words made the candidate shine at the moment, buttoned his face and said, "It seems that there is some truth in what you say. If Jingzhou army breaks the city in these two days, it will not be until I know when reinforcements will come." The main book looked around furtively and said, "This will never happen! It seems that if the Jingzhou army is really in a hurry to break the city, it will not be like this! "
Do, Chapter one hundred and thirty-five In the same boat, please send troops.
"oh? How do you know? " The candidate looked at the main book in disbelief and frowned and asked
The main book was close to the candidate’s back and said, "General, do you think if Jingzhou army is in a hurry to attack the city, how can a thunderbolt destroy the city wall? I’m afraid it won’t take long for Jingzhou army troops to break through the city even if they are attached to the city. "
