After learning the news, for Zhang Fei and Xia Zhao, a great achievement was just around the corner.

Therefore, before Yu Ban led the main force of the army to arrive, Zhang Fei and Xia Zhao had decisively completed the encirclement of Xinchang County.

They adopted the method of encircling and defending on all sides, abandoning the traditional siege method of encircling three without one, and planned to do their best to wipe out all the forces of the Gongsun clan and pacify Liaodong.

On October 18 of the second year of Yande, Yu Ban led the main force of the army to Xinchang County and met Zhang Fei and Xia Zhao.

After the report of the two, Yu Ban learned that the main force of the Gongsun clan had been transferred from Xiangping to Xinchang, and now Zhang Fei and Xia Zhao had besieged Gongsun Du and Gongsun Kang together in the county seat.

Yu Ban was very happy and praised Zhang Fei and Xia Zhao.

"In this way, it will be difficult for the Gongsun clan to fly! Come on, cut down the wood, set up camp, and prepare to attack the city! ”

Under the order of the ban, the army immediately began to move, and a real tough battle was about to begin.

Although this city is not so tall, wide and deep, it seems that the number of defenders is very large, which is not a good thing for the Wei army.

Siege battles are a great advantage for the defenders, and if nothing else, the defenders will be able to withstand the attack of the besieging side with a small number of troops.

Still, that doesn't change anything.

Yu Ban decisively ordered the trebuchet to be assembled, so that the gunners could make the most of their strengths, and let the city perish in a sea of fire.

This is a very rare opportunity to make contributions independently, and there is no need to share the exploits with people like Zhang Liao, this exploits are bound to be obtained in the ban.

And at this moment, in Xinchang County, Gongsun Kang was kneeling beside Gongsun Du's bed, looking depressed.

"Father, son is incompetent, failed to defeat the Wei people, and now, the Wei people have surrounded Xinchang, we can't go."

After a period of coma, Gongsun Du finally woke up, looked at his depressed son, and learned about the situation.

When he learned about the situation, he was depressed.

Seriously, he really wanted to just go unconscious, and it must be a good thing for him to stop knowing such bad news.

The situation he had painstakingly created for many years was ruined like this.

was easily destroyed by Guo Peng.

Twenty years of entrepreneurship and twenty years of operation, so far, in just over a month, he has even been trapped in the city and unable to move.

He wanted to reprimand Gongsun Kang and scold him for being incompetent, but it had come to this point, and there was no point in saying this, and besides, he was really weak.

So he thought hard for a while and asked, "Are there any reinforcements coming now?" ”

"Before arriving in Xinchang, I have already asked people to go to Goguryi and Buyeo to move rescue soldiers, and they will definitely come."

Gongsun Kang spoke.

"It's hard to say...... It can only be said that there is still a glimmer of life, even if it can't be restored to the way it was before, but if Guo Zifeng can be driven away, it will be enough, and we can't expect too much...... Before the reinforcements arrive, try to defend the city, we have a lot of people, and the Wei people can't break through the city so quickly. ”

Gongsun Du said, took a few breaths, and then said: "This is the last chance, don't make any more mistakes!" Otherwise, our whole family will give you a funeral! ”

Gongsun Kang nodded cautiously and didn't dare to say anything more.

He was reluctantly arrested in the city defense, but he didn't dare to tell Gongsun Du that there was not much food in the city, and he couldn't hold on for half a month.

If reinforcements do not come within half a month or the Wei army outside the city cannot be solved, the people in the entire Xinchang County will starve to death.

Of course, the father and son will not live.

It's not that Gongsun Kang doesn't work hard, but Gongsun Kang really can't beat the Wei army outside the city, if he can fight, or even say it's a draw, it won't end up like this.

However, he felt that the Wei army came from afar, and Liaodong was still short of food, so their food route must be very difficult, as long as they insisted on fighting for a while, there would be so many people in the Wei army, and there would definitely be a shortage of food, and maybe Liaodong would still have a glimmer of life.

Now the only thing he hoped for was that the Wei army was running out of food and grass and had to retreat.

But then again, until this time, Gongsun Kang still didn't know what route the Wei army had taken to the south of Xinchang County to attack.

Don't...... Is it by sea?

Just take the sea route that the business travelers took?

So many people, so many baggage, and even war horses, how many ships do you need?

How could there be so many ships for the Wei people to use?

Gongsun Kang himself has never experienced taking the sea route, so he can't think about how such a road came about.

But it didn't matter, he didn't have the heart or time to think about this kind of problem.

Because the siege of the Wei army began.

Since the county seat of Xinchang can abolish the Gongsun regime, why not?

After the assembly of twenty trebuchets, the attack began.

Not to mention the huge stones, when the huge stones flying all over the sky smashed on the city wall and in the city, it could already bring great deterrent pressure to the people in the city, not to mention what kind of feeling it was when the earth-shattering thunder and fierce fire oil canisters were thrown in.

Clusters of flames burst out on the city wall, a large number of Liaodong soldiers were entangled in flames and burned into burning people, and there was a violent sound that shook the sky and thunder to bring the deterrent power to the defenders of the city, that feeling was really desperate to think about.

Anyway, Gongsun Kang has this feeling of panic and even some despair.

The flames that could not be extinguished with water, as well as the strange weapons that would emit an extremely terrifying sound like thunder, caused the city defense of Xinchang County to be dealt an extremely serious blow.

The Wei army did not send troops to attack the city at the beginning, but continuously used these long-range strike weapons to attack and destroy the defenders of the Liaodong Army at the head of the city and many defense equipment, so as to weaken the morale of the Liaodong Army and the defense of Xinchang to the greatest extent.

For two days in a row, such a blow has not stopped, anyway, Gongsun Kang no longer dares to climb the city, and now those who dare to climb the city are some brave warriors who are not dead, and there are unlucky people who are forced to climb up - if you don't go up, you will be killed immediately, and there is still a possibility of surviving if you go up, no way, let's go.

But it's really miserable to go up.

Plugging your ears with a cloth ball can't completely block the sound, you can only cut it down a little, but it's not just the sound that is terrifying, but also the debris after it bursts, those small stones, and iron filings, which are really scary.

Although Gongsun Kang tried his best to put on armor and shields for the people in Shangcheng, the casualty rate remained high.

Among them, the fierce fire oil tank also has a lot of credit, the armor and shield can block the attack of the earth-shaking thunder, but it is difficult to stop the fierce fire oil tank, and even the stone can burn for a while, let alone a person.

Gongsun Kang witnessed a soldier rushing forward with a large shield when he was directly hit by a fierce fire oil canister, and the fierce fire oil tank burst open on his big shield, and the flames that erupted opened like a demon, and directly devoured him in an instant.

The big shield couldn't save him.

There were so many people who were wounded, shocked, and burned that Gongsun Kang didn't have time to send someone to transport them down the city, and the city was in shambles, and in the end the surviving defenders of the city had to take off their armor and push the corpses off the tower.

It's been so hard.

Gongsun Kang didn't want to fight back, he organized crossbowmen to counterattack with strong crossbows, but the range was not reachable, the Wei army could beat him, he couldn't beat the Wei army, and he couldn't take advantage of the city wall.

This made Gongsun Kang very frightened, and he didn't know what to do at all.

Fortunately, two days later, the Wei army, which had almost destroyed the city wall, stopped its long-range attack and began to send troops to attack the city.
