Chapter 476. Gongsun sued for peace

Different from any army in this era, the Qingzhou Army is always so energetic! Since the siege of Xiangping City on the 10th day of November, the army has not been idle for a day.

Those Xiangping defenders stood at the head of the wall, watching these Qingzhou people from the warm area wrapped in big cotton jackets, taking out the sapper shovels brought with the baggage, and digging at the foot of their city walls.

Shovel after shovel of snowflakes flew upward, and gradually the defenders could not see anyone, because they were dug up, and the wide and thick wall of snow gradually completely blocked the view.

More than 1,000 years later, Huang Taiji attacked the Daling River, it was such a trick, not directly attacking the city, digging layers of trenches, completely besieging the Dalinghe City, breaking through the siege internally, and sending reinforcements outside, defeating and capturing more than 40,000 people of the Ming army in one fell swoop, and Wu Sangui, the star of Liaodong who was blown high, and his father Wu Xiang were almost spared, embarrassed like a dog.

Although Wang Hou has no reinforcements to fight now, this layer of trenches is still a great shock to the Xiangping army in the city, watching the thick snow wall defend itself little by little, making people feel like a beast in a cage, desperate and panicked.

This is also the determination of Qingzhou to attack the city expressed to Xiangping City!

Then Gongsun Kang was frightened.

It was another day when the snowflakes were drifting, at ten o'clock in the morning, the sergeants were still digging the snow with shovels, and suddenly, a large earthen basket on the Xiangping city wall surrounded by the snow wall swayed and fell, and the sergeant who was squatting on the snow wall immediately bared his teeth and raised his double bow and crossbow and shouted, so frightened that the civil officials who came down with the earthen basket immediately raised their hands and threw them down.

"Don't fire the crossbow! Don't fire a crossbow! It's me! Xiao Yang! ”

"The lower official was ordered by Pingzhou Mu to ask to see General Zhenbei, and I hope that the official will report it!"

The soldiers above were stunned, and then they were fierce again, baring their teeth and shouting.

"Wait there, I'll report it! Whether I see you or not, we have to decide! Don't be blind, there is something wrong with it, our brothers are not vegetarians with steel crossbows in their hands! ”

"Yes! Be! The lower official is here! Right here! Doesn't move anywhere! ”

After a while, the sentry hurried down the snow wall and went back to report.

When the news reached the Chinese army, Wang Hou's appearance was not very powerful, there were four braziers in the thick cowhide tent, wrapped in a thick cotton quilt, and his old boy was still so cold that his nose was dripping with big snot, sobbing and smoking, and he was trembling with an account book in his hand.

"State pastor, the old boy of the Gongsun family sent someone out to ask for a meeting!"

At the door, Wang Congge took the information back, just opened the curtain, a gust of cold wind blew in, and Wang Hou immediately sneezed out, and all of a sudden, the snot sprayed onto the robe of the cheap uncle Zhen Yao, the disgusting old boy twitched the corners of his mouth, and he didn't dare to wipe it, that expression, how strange and weird!

"His uncle, this old boy is scared! Someone came, ordered the food class to hurry up, and then welcomed the guests into the room, ready to negotiate peace! ”

"Why make peace? Our Qingzhou army is strong and strong, it is a good opportunity to attack the city and destroy his grandson thief! ”

As soon as she heard that she was going to negotiate peace, Zhuge Ying's little mouth suddenly pouted, this chick is not only a militant, but also this autumn Wang Hou promised to take her and Cao Hongjie to Dandong to soak in hot springs, but as a result, the Gongsun family made a fuss about this moth, and the vacation plan was all disrupted, and Zhuge Xiaoniu is now also a "common enemy" with the Gongsun family.

But listening to her words, Wang Hou snorted angrily.

"You're embarrassed to say, which loser has used up all ten barrels of gunpowder in this seat? This Xiangping wall is so thick, gnaw with teeth! ”

"Didn't you say how many cannons you fired!"

Knowing that he was at a loss, his fingers wrapped around his green silk, and Zhuge Sakura drooped his little brain with a weak heart.

In fact, even if Zhuge Ying didn't put a shot, ten barrels of gunpowder, taking Xiangping City is also a dream, this place has a long history, since the time of King Yan Zhao built a city here, as the back road of Yan Kingdom, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was also the capital of the Han Dynasty, to the hands of Gongsun Du, it is to operate this place as a nest, although it is not as exaggerated as Helian Bo's Tongwan City, inch by inch of construction, the awl is pierced into an inch, and the craftsmen are all killed for quality, but it is also the construction of Sanhe soil and glutinous rice juice, the wall is ten meters high, The walls are thick.

Moreover, Xiangping City has abundant food, and the defenders still have at least twenty or thirty thousand, if the whole city is launched, sixty or seventy thousand troops are not unavailable, and if they really want to attack head-on, even if they are defeated, Wang Hou will have to lose money.

And not only the defenders have an advantage, as the attacker, by now, the Qingzhou army has actually reached the end of the crossbow.

He is across more than 600 miles, through thousands of mountains, expedition to Xiangping, originally this war was not well prepared, now, the first time Wang Hou, the logistics housekeeper is facing the problem of lack of logistics supplies, he tasted the taste of Mr. Cao's crusade against Yuan Shu in Yangzhou, there is no food in the warehouse, and he is panicked!

The current Qingzhou army is completely fat, he is digging trenches around Xiangping City, playing a long-lasting siege appearance, in fact, it is pretending to scare people, scaring people, can't be scared, and in a few more days, he will have to retreat to the Qianshan Mountains first, and get through this winter first.

Fortunately, Gongsun Kang was intimidated!

A mouthful of big black pots were burned, the firewood filled in low, shoveled some snow directly on the top and threw it in, and the gurgling was boiled into water, and then the big black pig copied from the eaters in Xinchang County purred and screamed, and was wiped on the neck with a click, and after peeling the skin, the whole fan went down to the pot, and a piece of sauerkraut was thrown into it, and a big fruit was boiled fragrantly.

In fact, I haven't eaten a decent meal for more than a month, and the dry food that I gnawed on was more than 400 Qingzhou sergeants who were selected to eat and broadcast, and I drooled when I smelled the taste of the rice bowl, however, under the military order, I could only wait dryly.

Fortunately, after not waiting for a while, there was already a shouting from the other end of the camp gate, as if they had been amnesty, and the sergeants served the food as fast as they could, and then began to pretend in pain.

"What's the fuck stew! I'm tired of eating! ”

"That's right! I can't change it to a different dish, why haven't I come with radish or something! ”

"I'm going to die!"

While forcibly enduring the gurgling in his stomach, he had to be like a picky child, "disgusted" and pulled the hot broth cake in his hand, it was really difficult for these soldiers, but the effect of this pretending to be forced was very, Xiangping Xiaoyang was led out, and while smelling the meat, he stared at his eyes in surprise.

Full of disgust, he sat cross-legged on the ground and took a small bite of hot rice, watching the envoy Yang Qi was led into the tent in anguish, and a group of soldiers finally began to preach in their stomachs as if they had been amnesty, and that appearance was like a starving ghost to survive.

On the other side, entering the tent, I saw a bearded man with a fierce face looking at a book with one hand, and a sharp knife in the other hand picking his teeth.

"Yang Zheng, who joined the army under the command of Pingzhou Mu, met General Zhenbei!"

"Come on, beat this guy out!"
