chapter four hundred and seventy six.
Unlike any army in this era, the Qingzhou army is always so energetic! Since surrounding Xiangping City on the tenth day of November, the army has not been idle for a day.
The Xiangping defenders stood on the wall, looking around at the Qingzhou people from the warm area wrapped in big cotton jackets, took out the engineer shovels brought by the bag, and dug them at the foot of their city walls.
The snowflakes from shovels were flying upwards, and gradually the defenders could no longer see people. Because they were dug up, the wide and thick snow wall gradually blocked the view.
More than a thousand years later, Huang Taiji attacked Daling River. This was the trick. He did not directly attack the city, digging layers of trenches, completely besieging Daling River City, blocking the internal siege, attacking reinforcements from outside, defeating and capturing more than 40,000 Ming troops in one fell swoop. Wu Sangui, the star of Liaodong who was blown up, and his father Wu Xiang was almost beaten to death, and was as embarrassed as a dog.
Although Wang Hou has no reinforcements to fight, the layers of trenches are still extremely shocking to the Xiangping army in the city. Looking at the thick snow walls protecting themselves bit by bit, it makes people feel like they are like beasts locked in cages, desperate and panic.
This is also the determination to attack the city of Qingzhou as expressed to Xiangping City!
Then Gongsun Kang was frightened.
It was the snowflakes that floated again one day. In the morning, the soldiers were still carrying shovels and digging the snow. Suddenly, a large earth basket on the Xiangping City Wall surrounded by snow walls shaking and descending. The sergeant squatting on the snow wall immediately grinned and raised his crossbows and shouted. The civil servant who followed the earth baskets down immediately raised his hands and surrendered.
"Don't open the crossbow! Don't open the crossbow! It's me! Xiao Yang!"
"After the order of the governor of Pingzhou, I ask to see the general of Zhenbei. I hope the official will inform you!"
The soldiers above were stunned for a moment, and then they were fierce and grinning again.
"Wait there, I'll inform you! If you don't see you, our governor will decide! Don't move around. If you have any intention, you are not a vegetarian. Our brothers don't eat vegetarian crossbows in their hands!"
"Yes! Yes! The official is here! It's here! I don't move anywhere!"
After a while, the sentry hurriedly drifted down the snow wall and went back to report.
When the news reached the Central Army, Wang Hou was not very majestic. Four braziers were placed in the thick cowhide tent, wrapped in a thick quilt. His old man was still so cold that his nose was flowing through his nose, and he was thrusting and trembling, holding the account book in his hand.
"Prince, the old boy from Gongsun family sent someone out to ask for a meeting!"
At the door, Wang Congge took the information back. As soon as he lifted the curtain, a cold wind blew in, and Wang Hou sneezed out immediately. It swelled and his nose sprayed on the robe of the cheap brother-in-law Zhen Yao. The disgusting old man twitched his mouth and didn't dare to wipe it. His expression was so weird!
"Oh, this old guy was scared! The person who came, ordered the food squad to quickly arrange the food, and then welcome the guests into the house and prepare for peace talks!"
"Why do we need to negotiate peace? Our Qingzhou army is a good opportunity to conquer the city and destroy his Gongsun thief!"
When he heard that peace talks, Zhuge Ying's little mouth suddenly pouted. This girl was not only a militant, but also Wang Hou promised to take her and Cao Hongjie to Dandong to take hot springs this autumn. However, the Gongsun family overestimated their ability to make a mess, which disrupted the vacation plan. Zhuge Xiaoniu is now a "universal" hatred with the Gongsun family.
But listening to her words, Wang Hou hummed in anger.
"You have the nerve to say, which prodigal girl has wiped out all ten barrels of gunpowder? This is such a thick wall in Xiangping, so you can chew it with your teeth!"
"Didn't the master say how many shots are fired?"
Knowing that he was inappropriate, his fingers were wrapped around his black hair, Zhuge Ying drooped her little head with guilt.
In fact, even if Zhuge Ying didn't shoot out a shot, she would have dreamed of taking down Xiangping City with ten barrels of gunpowder. This place has a long history. It has been built here since the reign of King Zhao of Yan. As the retreat of Yan State, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, it was even more of the capital of the Han Dynasty ruled the Great Han Dynasty. When it came to Gongsun Du, it even treated this place as an old nest. Although it was not as exaggerated as Helian Bobo's Tongwan City, it was built inch by inch, and the awl was pierced into one inch, and all the craftsmen were executed to seek quality, but it was also a construction of Sanhe soil and glutinous rice juice. The wall was ten meters high and the city wall was thick.
Moreover, Xiangping City has abundant food, and the defenders still have at least 20,000 to 30,000. If they mobilize the whole city to strengthen their men, 60,000 or 70,000 troops will not be unavailable. If they really want to attack head-on, even if they are defeated, Wang Hou will have to lose money.
And it is not only the advantage of the defenders, but as the attacking party, the Qingzhou army has actually reached the end of its strength.
He crossed more than 600 miles, crossed thousands of mountains, and went to Xiangping. He was not prepared for this war. Now, for the first time, Wang Hou, the logistics manager, faced the problem of lack of logistics supplies. He tasted the taste of Mr. Cao's attack on Yuan Shu in Yangzhou. There was no food in the warehouse and he was panicked!
The Qingzhou Army is now a completely empty fat man. He digs trenches around Xiangping City with such a huge momentum, and looks like he is a long-term siege. In fact, he is just pretending to scare people and can't scare people. In another ten days, he will have to retreat to the Qianshan Mountains first and survive this winter first.
Fortunately, Gongsun Kang is cowardly!
The big black pot was burned up, and the firewood was filled with low filling, and the snow was shoveled on the top and threw it into it. It was burned into water. Then, the big black pig that was picked up by the eaters in Xinchang County was squeaked and smeared on its neck with a crack. After peeling it, it was put into the pot. The sauerkraut was thrown into it. A large fruit was cooked sour.
In fact, I haven't had a decent meal for more than a month. I only ate dry and hard food. A sergeant from Qingzhou, who was selected to eat for more than 400 people, was drooling when I smelled the smell. However, under the military order, I could only wait dryly.
Fortunately, after a while, there were already screams from the other end of the camp gate, just like an amnesty. The soldiers served the meal as quickly as possible, and then began to show off in pain.
"Why are the stewed meat again? I'm tired of eating it!"
"That's right! You can't change to some other dishes, why haven't you come yet for radish or something?"
"I'm so full!"
While holding back the rumbling sound in his stomach, he had to "disgust" the hot meat soup and puff cakes in his hands, which was really difficult for these soldiers. However, the effect of showing off was very great. Xiangping Xiaoyang was taken out, and while smelling the meat smell, he stared at him in surprise.
She sat cross-legged on the ground and stuttered in small bites and ate hot rice. She looked at the messenger Yang Zao in pain and was led into the tent. A group of soldiers finally started to circulate in their stomachs like they were amnesty. It looked like a starving ghost was entrusted to death.
On the other end, he entered the tent and saw a bearded man looking at books with one hand and picking his teeth with a sharp knife in the other hand. After Wang Hou slaughtered the city, he became famous and felt scared. Yang Zao bowed with frown.
"Yang Zha, the army under the command of the Mu of Pingzhou, pay a visit to General Zhenbei!"
"Come, fight this guy out!"
