"Wang Shifan, the son of Wang Jingwu, the former envoy of the Ziqing Festival, has seen Cui Shuai!"

Outside Qingzhou City, in front of a group of Qingzhou soldiers inside and outside the city gate, Wang Shifan walked to Cui Anqian and asked Cui Anqian to surrender in public.

Wang Shifan came alone and did not bring a group of clansmen, which was also to prevent Cui An from hiding.

However, Cui Anqian was not stupid, after learning that Wang Shifan was willing to surrender, he asked Zhang Chan to take Wang Shifan back to Qingzhou, while Li Wenzhong led the army into Dengzhou City to prevent Wang Shifan from cheating.

It's like a little fox meeting an old fox, but no matter how cunning the little fox is, it's still too tender after all, how can there be the old fox's tricks.

"I didn't expect our first meeting to be in this form." Cui An said with a smile.

"Cui Shuai, don't blame, it was the kid who insisted on going his own way at the beginning, and now all this is just the kid's own 。。。。。"

。。。

"Don't look at this Wang Shifan's young age, but he is so decisive, he really came to ask for surrender!"

Looking at Wang Shifan standing in front of Cui Anqian, the civil and military officials watching from the side were still a little surprised.

You must know that a year ago, this Wang Shifan was still the envoy of the Ziqing Festival, and he became a prisoner in a year, and he had to live in Chang'an temporarily.

It is said to be a temporary residence, but in fact it is house arrest.

At least until Ziqing is completely stabilized, Wang Shifan will not have much freedom.

"Can you not come down? Look at the history of the Dengzhou assassination, with that face, if Wang Shifan does not surrender to the imperial court, it is estimated that he will be killed by his subordinates. At that time, it is estimated that there will not be a few left of the Wang family, and if the investment is broken, a good way out of the mix can still protect the Wang family. ”

"What about the Qingzhou Wang Clan?"

"Don't mention this Qingzhou Wang clan, can it be the same as this Wang Shifan?"

"However, after the Wang clan surrendered, this Ziqing can be considered to be stable."

"Isn't it!"

For the words of these officials, Wang Tuan listened to them in his ears, and his heart was also a little comfortable.

He is the history of Qingzhou, and the end of the war in Ziqing is naturally a good thing for Qingzhou.

He thought that he would be transferred back to Chang'an after finishing his tenure in Longyou, but he didn't expect to be sent to Ziqing again.

If he can make some achievements in Qingzhou, he will be able to return to Chang'an in a few years, and then really show his strength.

However, he didn't know that in Xuzhou, hundreds of miles south of Qingzhou, a fierce battle was taking place at this time, and Ge Congzhou, who had made a military order, was leading an army of more than 100,000 to storm Xuzhou City.

Xuzhou has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, so the city wall is high and thick, and Zhu Wen has attacked many times before, but he has not been able to defeat Xuzhou. And Xuzhou itself is a rich place, Shi Pu also hoarded a lot of grain and grass in the city, and the siege is not a long-term solution.

Until Zhu Wen sent someone to send a powerful trebuchet.

。。。。。。

"General, the Xuanwu army is attacking the city with trebuchets again, if they are allowed to attack the city with trebuchets again, our walls will have to be breached sooner or later."

On the city wall of Xuzhou City, seeing that several trebuchets outside the city were covered by Xuanwu soldiers and transported to a place not far from the city wall, the soldiers on the city wall were a little anxious.

At this time, on the city wall, tired soldiers were hurrying to climb the city wall, piling up radium wood and rolling stones on the city wall, and low-ranking officers were shouting to arrange the city defense.

And outside the city, in addition to the few big guys who posed a great threat to the city wall, there were also various siege equipment and a large number of Xuanwu troops.

These armies stood in a phalanx, a total of ten phalanxes, and according to the previous practice, this was an army of 100,000.

"General, today the Xuanwu Army has gathered 100,000 troops, this is to break through my Xuzhou in one fell swoop! Ask for help from the marshal, with our more than 10,000 remnants, we can't hold it. Another general clenched his fists and persuaded him.

"General...

The leader saw the persuasion of his subordinates, and then looked at the enemy troops who were gathering outside the city with a serious face, and nodded heavily, "Report the situation of the Xuanwu Army to the section commander!" ”

"Yes!"

One of the soldiers hugged his fists, and then hurriedly ran towards the castle tower with his sword in hand.

Not long after the soldier left, there were bursts of drums outside the city.

The Xuanwu army has begun to attack!

"Defend! All-round defense! ”

"Give the trebuchet an order to concentrate on me where the walls have collapsed. Even if this Xuzhou City is a king eight shells, I will smash it open! ”

Ge Congzhou, who was in military uniform, commanded loudly.

"Yes, Jie Shuai!"

Due to the topography of Xuzhou, it is not easy to find boulders suitable for trebuchet projection near Xuzhou City. Ordinary stones are too brittle, and the stone bullets made of them don't have much attack power at all.

It was not a day or two since this trebuchet was sent by Zhu Wen, but because the previous stone projectile was too brittle and broke when touched, it was not very powerful, so it could not smash the city wall of Xuzhou City at all.

Therefore, Ge Congzhou ordered the troops to find suitable stone bullets, and then conduct tests to see how powerful they were.

Fortunately, he finally found a suitable stone bullet, so during this time, he asked tens of thousands of soldiers under his command to make stone bullets, just to prepare for today.

Of these dozen trebuchets, he prepared as many as 3,000 stone bullets, in his opinion, this should be able to smash the walls of Xuzhou City!

"Jieshuai, you will definitely be able to take this Xuzhou City today!" Zhang Guiba on the side smiled confidently.

"Don't underestimate the enemy, at this time, Pu Lao'er made this Xuzhou like a king and eight shells, and it is not easy to break through.

Guiba, after waiting for the trebuchet to smash the walls of Xuzhou City, you will personally lead the team to attack with the general, and you must attack Xuzhou City.

Can it be done? ”

The battle of Xuzhou was very important to Ge Congzhou.

Because of Zhu Zhen and Huo Cun's defection from Xuanwu, Zhu Wen had deep suspicions about him, and he was once transferred back to Zhongwu to be idle.

However, at present, Xuanwu is surrounded by enemies, in addition to Shi Pu, there are also Zhu Xuan, Zhu Jin brothers, Zhu Zhen and Huo Cun's betrayal, so that Zhu Wen has no generals available.

Therefore, Zhu Wen finally had to reactivate Ge Congzhou, and let him be responsible for leading more than 100,000 Xuanwu troops to attack Xuzhou, while Pang Shigu led the army to deal with Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin.

Only by defeating Xuzhou City will Zhu Wen let go of his suspicions about him and no longer guard against him like now.

So he took this battle very seriously.

Zhu Wen is already a little dissatisfied, and if he doesn't take Xuzhou again, it is estimated that he will soon withdraw himself.

"Don't worry!" Zhang Guiba hugged his fists.

"Ge Shuai rest assured, Uncle Cong will be fortunate not to be dishonored!" A dark-skinned general next to him also hugged his fists after Zhang Guiba, and it was none other than the rising star of Xuanwu's family.

"Okay, that Marshal is here waiting for the good news of the two generals!"

After speaking, Ge Congzhou pulled out the long sword on his waist and pointed at Xuzhou City.

What the long sword points to is Xuanwu's enemy, and he is also his enemy!
