After Zhang Shixing returned to the camp, he ordered his subordinates to sort out military equipment and prepare for the siege of the city in three days. During the armistice, he also went to Pingze Gate to check the movements of the Yan army, only to see the Yan army in the city put down the hanging basket, and the people sat inside, and pulled out the crossbow arrows inserted in the city wall one by one, and repaired them new.

Zhang Shixing saw it in his eyes, and felt faintly uneasy in his heart, if the Yan army had the heart to surrender, he would never repair the city wall, and it seemed that he was going to resist stubbornly. But his order had been given, and the soldiers were happy to take a break from their time, so they could not force them to attack the city, so they could only wait for three days to see each other.

On the morning of the third day, suddenly the clouds were thick, and the sky was overcast, and after a while, the sky was sprinkled with snowflakes, and it was the middle of October, and the earth was still warm, and the snowflakes fell on the ground, and immediately turned into water, and moistened the earth.

Seeing the snow rarely, the soldiers of the Southern Army ran out of their tents one after another, cheering and welcoming the gift of heaven.

Zhang Shixing saw this situation but was suddenly shocked, this snow, it indicates that the weather is as cold as a day, they set off from the Beijing division at the end of August, the weather was still hot at that time, only wearing single clothes, no winter clothes, if this Beiping can not be broken for a long time, the soldiers are camping in the wilderness, and there is nothing to protect from the cold, then it will collapse without a fight.

As soon as he thought of this, he came to Guo Ying's camp on horseback, and saw that the damaged city wall outside Li's main gate had also been repaired, and his heart sank.

Zhang Shixing came to the camp, saw Guo Ying, and said: "Guo Hou, the weather is getting cold, and I haven't prepared anything for the winter in my camp, can Guo Hou allocate one or two to help the emergency." ”

Guo Ying said with a smile: "You can enter the city tomorrow, everything is ready in the city, how can Commander Zhang reach out to the old man to ask for it?" ”

Zhang Shixing's face was gloomy, not much better than the sky outside the tent, but he still had luck and was unwilling to admit that he had been deceived, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Guo Hou said that he was laughing." Didn't I just in case? ”

Guo Ying thought for a while and said: "Although you are under my command, it is only a temporary allocation, everything that needs is supplied by the Dezhou battalion, and our military supplies are supplied by the Zhending battalion, I think you still go to find Cao Guogong, and he will allocate winter clothes to you." ”

Zhang Shixing touched a soft nail, so he had to say goodbye and get out of the camp, but he was unwilling to run to Zhengcunba to beg Li Jinglong, so he had to beat his horse back to the camp.

The sky was getting more and more gloomy, the snow was still falling, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the snowflakes that fell on the ground no longer melted, but slowly condensed into frost, and the earth turned gray.

In order to ward off the cold, bonfires were lit everywhere in the camp.

Zhang Shixing's tent also lit a brazier, it was still as cold as an ice cellar, Niu Er came in with wine and meat, saying that it was to warm his body, the two sat opposite each other and drank, Niu Er asked: "Commander Zhang, tomorrow that letter can really be dedicated to Beiping and return to the imperial court?" ”

Zhang Shixing shook his head and said, "Eighty percent won't." ”

Niu Ertiao jumped up and scolded: "This old Wang Ba, wouldn't this hurt Commander Zhang?" ”

Zhang Shixing smiled bitterly: "My personal advance and retreat is nothing, but it's a pity that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Beiping City are probably going to be burned." Niu Er, after the city is broken, you should restrain your subordinates, and you must not burn, kill, loot, or kill innocents. ”

Niu Er said aggrievedly: "I'm afraid that if others don't do this, we will suffer a big loss." The sergeants of Xiaolingwei were originally pampered and pampered, and traveled thousands of miles to come to this icy and snowy place, and if they were not allowed to make a small fortune, I was afraid that the army's morale would be unstable and cause a mutiny, and I could not afford it. ”

Zhang Shixing said angrily: "I will bear all the consequences." You just have to give the order, who dares to burn, kill and loot in Beiping City, and the military law will do it. ”

Niu Er agreed, didn't dare to speak, drank for a while, and then left.

At this time, it was late, the north wind was howling, and after drinking, he felt even colder, so Zhang Shixing had to wrap the quilt tightly, lie on the bed, and fall asleep.

Sleeping until midnight, he was frozen awake, the brazier in the tent has been extinguished, Zhang Shixing walked out of the tent, wanted to call the guards to add firewood to make a fire, at this moment the snow has stopped, a full moon in the sky, clear and bright, the ground is white, reflecting the clear light, like day, the camp is quiet, no one is seen, it seems that they are hiding in the tent to warm up and sleep.

Zhang Shixing felt that the camp was terrifyingly quiet, and hurriedly walked towards the gate, but saw the gate wide open, and the two guards, one on the left and one on the right, stood motionless.

Zhang Shi walked over and scolded loudly: "Why is the door wide open? What if the enemy army comes in? ”

The two men were stunned, Zhang Shi walked over and pushed one of the guards on the left, and the man fell to his heart, with blood on his neck, apparently killed by slitting his throat.

Zhang Shixing was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Come on, there are enemies." So saying, he closed the door and bolted it.

At this time, an arrow whistled, Zhang Shixing hurriedly dodged his head sideways, and the arrow pierced the doorboard, and the aftermath did not stop, buzzing.

Zhang Shixing looked back, only to see a figure flashing in the distance, he hurriedly chased down, the person in front of him disappeared in the camp tent three times and two times, Zhang Shixing suddenly smelled a burning smell, hurriedly followed the smell, came to the back camp to store grain, saw several granaries, the grass pile was lit on fire, beep Bo was burning, Zhang Shixing shouted to put out the fire, hurriedly took off his robe, rolled in the snow, waved the robe, and began to fight the fire on the grass.

At this time, the sergeants in the camp heard the movement, and they all came out to put out the fire, and after a while, the fire was extinguished, but fortunately the loss was not large.

Niu Er walked up to Zhang Shixing and asked, "Commander Zhang, who is arson, could it be Yan Jun?" Didn't they say that they would surrender today? ”

Zhang Shixing's face was pale: "The whole team!" Let's go! I want to see what tricks he Zhang Xin can play today? "Fantastic

With his order, the soldiers of the whole battalion buried the pot to make food, and after the full meal, the whole team left the camp and came to the gate of Pingze.

At this time, the sky is bright, the sun rises in the east, and the city wall at Pingzemen is like a huge crystal in front of you, and under the reflection of the sun, dazzling flowers.

Zhang Shixing saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but secretly scream: "It's bitter." ”

It turned out that the Yan army took advantage of the north wind overnight, the weather was cold, and splashed water from the city, freezing the city wall, as if putting on a thick ice armor on the city wall, how can this cloud ladder be erected?

Zhang Shixing ordered Niu Er to watch the team, and he rode alone to the city, and shouted to the city: "Xiaoling Wei Zhang Shixing asked Zhang Xindu to come and speak. ”

The soldiers in the city agreed, and after a while, the letter probed out from the battlement of the city wall and said to Zhang Shixing: "Brother Zhang, are you here to surrender?" ”

Zhang Shixing nodded and said, "Exactly, please ask Zhang Du to command to open the city gate." ”

Zhang Xin said: "Please Brother Zhang send the pardon letter." ”

Zhang Shixing shouted: "After our army enters the city, Cao Guogong will issue a pardon to you." ”

Zhang Xin shook his head and said: "If it's not my brother, I can't trust you, I really can't trust that Cao Guogong, I think it was he who arrested King Zhou into Beijing in the name of patrolling the border." ”

Zhang Shixing said: "Commander Zhang, don't lie to me anymore, why did you send someone to burn my military ration?" Splashing the city with water again, do you still want to resist stubbornly? ”

Zhang Xin laughed and said, "Brother Zhang is a sincere person, I don't lie to you." My King Yan will return soon, if Cao Guogong can defeat him, I will present the city with both hands, if my King Yan wins, Brother Zhang might as well return to King Yan, I will give you a guarantee in front of His Royal Highness. Now they want me to surrender, unless I, Zhang Xin, is dead. ”

Zhang Shixing gritted his teeth with hatred and scolded: "Good traitor, I mistrusted you again." Look at me today to take your head to avenge Zhang Fangbo. ”

Zhang Xin smiled in the city and said, "Brother, you just let the horse come." ”

Zhang Shixing beat his horse and returned to the front of the battle, and ordered his Xiaoling guards to attack the city immediately. However, due to the snow that had fallen all day yesterday, the ground was slippery, and the sergeants had just rushed to the edge of the city wall and slipped one after another, unable to stand up the ladder, and a rain of arrows fell from the city, and the sergeants suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat.

Zhang Shixing ordered the bed crossbow to be fired, but the arrows hit the ice of the city wall and fell to the ground, but instead of chiseling a few white spots on the ice wall.

Zhang Shixing knew that the strong attack would not succeed, so he rushed to the main gate of Li, wanting to borrow some trebuchets, Lu Gongcha and other large siege equipment. Who knew that as soon as he entered the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw Sheng Yong and Guo Ying sighing and complaining to each other.

After seeing him come in, Sheng Yonghuo stood up, pointed at Zhang Shixing's nose and scolded: "Zhang Shixing, it's all your good deeds!" ”

Zhang Shixing didn't know why, and looked at Guo Ying.

Guo Ying sighed and said: "Commander Zhang, you said that the Yan thieves would open the city and surrender today, I can't wait, I burned most of the grain and grass for them last night, I knew this, you came to borrow winter clothes yesterday, I should share half of you, and I won't be so embarrassed." ”

Zhang Shixing's face turned red and said: "The lowly grain and grass were also burned by them. Fortunately, I found it early, so the loss was not large. ”

Sheng Yong stomped his feet and said, "I don't kill the Yan thief, and I swear not to be a man." ”

Zhang Shixing said: "I also think so about my humble position, so I came to borrow some trebuchets from Guo Hou, Lu Gong and other siege equipment. ”

Without waiting for Guo Ying to answer, Sheng Yong shouted: "Don't borrow." I'm going to use all the equipment at the front gate of Li, and see that I don't smash him to the ground. ”

After that, he walked out of the big tent in a huff, and Guo Ying and Zhang Shixing also followed.

Sheng Yong set up a position under the main gate of Li, ordered the siege of the city, and in an instant, more than a dozen trebuchets projected thunderbolt fireballs, tribulus fireballs, fireballs and many other fire-igniting objects onto the city wall. The main gate of Nali was also splashed with water, like a crystal palace, and the fireball shot to the city wall, rolled a few times, and then extinguished itself, causing the Yan army in the city to laugh.

Sheng Yong ordered people to use a chariot to dig a hole under the city wall, who knew that the ice under the root of the city wall was several feet thick, and the southern army was slippery and unstable on its feet.

When everyone was worried, the Southern Army rode a flying horse to the front of the formation and saluted Guo Yingshi: "Guo Hou, the general has an invitation and has important matters to discuss." ”

Guo Ying asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

The man said in a low voice: "King Yan has led the army back to kill, and the general has asked you to come over and discuss countermeasures." ”

When everyone heard this, their faces changed color.
