Chapter 396: Resentment
Although Kuang Zhang did not move, Chu Jun did not expect that Kuang Zhang would be fooled so easily.
Since reinforcements did not come, the siege continued.
In order to put pressure on Xue Cheng, Jing Cui and Song Guo's side all strengthened their attacks on Xue Cheng.
On the side of the Song army, the King of Song came to boost morale every day, and Xue Jun, who was newly affiliated with the King of Song, personally led the army to attack the city every day in order to capture Xue City as soon as possible.
And the Chu army was also not to be outdone, except for the King of Chu, other generals took turns to fight, and even Jing Yang, the successor of the Jing clan carefully cultivated by Jing Cui, also went into battle in person. And under the charge of Jingyang personally led the personal guards, the Chu army once opened a gap and occupied a section of the city wall.
It's just that in the end, it was the defenders of Xue Cheng who rushed down.
In that battle, Jingyang's three hundred guards only came back less than a hundred in the end, and Jingyang himself was not lightly injured.
In this regard, Jing Cui reprimanded Jing Yang, and then drove him to the side of the King of Chu to hide in the snow.
The Chu and Song coalition forces then attacked Xuecheng for more than 20 days.
Xue Cheng's casualties are increasing day by day, morale is declining day by day, and the reinforcements that have arrived in Xue Di are not seen for a long time.
In this regard, many people in Xue Cheng hesitated.
Could it be that the news of the reinforcements is fake?
"It's been a month, and that old thing Kuang Zhang has been leading reinforcements to stay on the periphery of Xue Di for more than a month, and he has been reinforcing the barracks every day, and there has been no movement other than that. Could it be that he was not ...
Tian Wen said angrily in the house: "Could it be that Kuang Zhang, this guy is already old, he doesn't have the sharpness of his youth, his heart has been lost, and he is afraid of the enemy like a tiger." ”
Saying that, under the anger that could not be dissipated, Tian Wen opened his mouth and cursed again: "Since you are old, you should go home to tease your grandson, how can you go outside the march without it, you are afraid of this, you are afraid of that, you are afraid of that, you will fall to death if you don't hear walking?" ”
This also made Tian Wen angry, the reinforcements had arrived for a month, but they had always stayed a hundred miles away.
It is said that in the Tang Wu camp that is now holding the reinforcements, a large number of birds have flown into the Tang Wu military camp to forage for food during the day, indicating that Tang Wu's camp is very empty, otherwise how dare the birds fly into the military camp.
Tian Wen went from asking for help once every three or five times before, to asking for help three times a day now, and sent Tian Wen to ask for help in front of Kuang Zhang in person.
As a result, Kuang Zhang was still as stable as Mount Tai and as solid as a rock, regardless of the precarious Xue Cheng.
In this regard, knowing the battle damage counted today, the intact Qi army and the Lu army in Xuecheng added up, and the number was barely more than 50,000, and after more than half of the casualties of the defenders of Xuecheng, Tian Wen finally couldn't help it and began to scold.
When all the guests heard this, they all looked at each other, and they didn't dare to accept Meng Weijun's words. For Kuang Zhang's grievances, not only Meng Weijun Tianwen, but also other guests.
During this time, it was repeatedly announced to the defenders in the city that reinforcements had arrived, and that was them, the guests of Meng Weijun.
As a result, a month passed, and there was no half of the reinforcements, not only the ordinary soldiers suspected that Meng Yanjun was deceiving them, but the guests all helped Meng Yanjun to fool. Even the middle- and low-level guests under Meng Shanjun will now be suspicious, thinking that Meng Yanjun is deceiving them.
Looking at the hesitant gazes of others, the guests who publicized the arrival of reinforcements also panicked in their hearts.
The others didn't speak, and Qi Maung stopped him: "Your Majesty, be cautious." Zhangzi's fame shocked the world, leading the troops to fight in Qi country, and the Qi soldiers were convinced and should not be lightly destroyed. Yichen thought about it, Zhang Zi must have other plans, ready to defeat the Chu and Song coalition forces with one blow! Therefore, I think we still need to wait for the time being. ”
Tian Wen was stunned when he heard this, and heard the meaning behind Qi Xiang's debate.
Qi Maung's concern was naturally not Kuang Zhang's strategy, but Xue Cheng's safety.
Kuang Zhang is the most famous general in Qi and has the most achievements, if his words just now are spread, it will be light to offend Kuang Zhang, the main general of the reinforcements. If the soldiers in the city thought that even Kuang Zhang, the famous general of the Qi State, was afraid of the Chu and Song coalition forces outside the city, it would definitely be a matter of great morale.
Even the god of war in his country is afraid, let alone ordinary soldiers!
"What the gentleman said is very true..." Tian Wen nodded, indicating that he already knew the seriousness of the matter.
But having said that, as soon as he thought of Kuang Zhang's attitude this month, he suddenly felt a breath of resentment up his throat, and then, Tian Wen opened his mouth, and then swallowed it again.
Holding it uncomfortably, Tian Wen felt a burst of heat all over his body.
After a pause, he blushed and asked: "Now Xue Cheng has suffered heavy casualties, more than half of the soldiers have lost, and morale is low. ”
Qi Xiangbi said with a heavy face: "Your Majesty, it is better to cry to the king, and contact the ministers of the court and the central government, put pressure on Kuang Zhang, and force him to come to help as soon as possible." ”
"This..." Tian Wen hesitated.
If Tian Wen's words just now were just words, then Qi Maung's suggestion was to tell Kuang Zhang with practical actions that he, Meng Weijun Tian Wen, was already very dissatisfied with him Kuang Zhang.
Xue Cheng··· Kuang Zhang···
Kuang Zhang··· Xue Cheng···
These two things went back and forth in Tian Wen's mind for a few times, thinking for a long time, and in the end, his Xue Cheng was heavier.
Tian Wen nodded, and argued with Qi Maung: "Okay, there is Mr. Lao on a trip." ”
Qi Xiangbi solemnly arched his hand and said: "No! ”
Tian Wen bowed slightly, and then his face showed a hint of coldness, and said to Tang Li, who was guarding the city: "Starting tomorrow, Mr. Lao will send five messengers every day to ask Kuang Zhang for help!" ”
"No!"
Outside the city, in the camp of the Chu army.
Xiong Huai also remembered Kuang Zhang.
Although Kuang Zhang had already expected it, Kuang Zhang remained motionless for a month, and he didn't even have the idea of temptation, which was still beyond the expectations of the people of Chu State.
Although the Chu-Song coalition army had obviously felt that Xuecheng's resistance was getting lower and lower, after two months of siege, the Chu-Song coalition army also suffered a sharp decline in morale and was exhausted.
The Chu army is good to say, attacking the Song army on both sides southwest of Xuecheng at the same time is not only a problem of fatigue, but also accompanied by heavy casualties. If it weren't for the fact that the King of Song had already put all the bets on the side of the Chu army, I am afraid that the Song army would no longer be able to attack the city now.
But even now when Xue Jun, the king of Song, goes to supervise and command the battle every day, the offensive of the Song army is still inferior to that of the Chu army.
At this moment, Xiong Huai asked the ministers: "It's been a month, Kuang Zhang has been working on building his turtle shell, not only shrinking his head inside, but also his minions inside, what should we do now?" ”
Jing Cui shook his head with a heavy face when he heard this, if it was before, then it could be said that Kuang Zhang did not find out about Tang Wu's transfer of Chu Jun.
But now, Tang Wu's 50,000 troops are guarding the 150,000 defense line, and the surrounding beasts and birds have broken into the barracks to find food.
It is impossible for Kuang Zhang not to discover this kind of problem.
For this situation, Jingcui is also very helpless, and there is no way.
