Thunder tried to return the color several times, but several times to no avail, a very important reason is that a new type of tactics and wall-climbing chains appeared in the Xian army.

Every time the Xian army dug the tunnel was not far from the outside of the city wall, after drilling out of the ground, they neither squatted nor standing, but after climbing out of the city wall through the tunnel, they took the straw clothes as a camouflage, and crawled to the front of the rebel camp by crawling.

The defenders of the city wall threw down a rope, and the other end of the rope passed through the inside of the city wall, and there were 100 catties of counterweight stones tied to the soldiers, and the soldiers put the ropes on their bodies, and the defenders kicked the rope counterweight stones off the city wall with their feet, and almost in the blink of an eye, the whole person was hung on the head of the city, which made the rebels who were chasing helpless.

Continuous attacks and harassment for more than 10 days resulted in the rebel stone artillery trucks outside the south gate being sharply reduced by half from more than 200 units, the camp tents and baggage were burned down, and more than 2,000 people were killed or wounded.

Thunder was overwhelmed and persisted until the special plane appeared, and it resolutely withdrew its troops for two miles, withdrew beyond the range of the Xianjun Firebler, and continued to besiege Guangxin.

At the same time, according to the plan, the south of the city went out of the city tonight to attack the rebels again, and when he heard that the rebels were acting abnormally, Bailiyan (Wei Xian) immediately came to the city:

"The rebels are going to withdraw!"

"General, are you still out of the city tonight?" Su Hong said.

"No, the rebels must have been cut off after the rebels pulled out the camp, and they will undoubtedly be sent to death. The brethren who are raiding today are ordered to stop attacking and fill in the tunnels. ”

"No!"

Sikong Nan said at this time:

"General, the rebels won't really withdraw."

"Well, our army has been harassing the rebels for more than ten days, and the rebels have already been full of soldiers, so we must distance ourselves from our army and continue to besiege Guangxin. If the expectation is good, the Jin army must have taken action, and the rebels are trying to capture the old man. ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Yunfeng rode to the south gate:

"General Wei, the Jin army is outside the port, after the rebels suddenly pulled out the camp, they withdrew the port sentries, and a small group of the Jin army has gone ashore, and the lord asks General Wei to go to the north gate quickly."

"It seems that it is right, the Jin army has arrived. Let's go, go to the north gate to meet the Jin army. ”

The rebels did not retreat early or late, so they waited for the Jin army to take a boat to Guangxin to open the door and let the Jin army go ashore.

Take the car to the north gate tower, the sea is lit up, accompanied by the ups and downs of the waves.

"Jiang Gong, Mr. Luo, how is the situation of the Jin army?"

At this time, Luo Songting said:

"A group of people from the Jin army has arrived outside the city and asked our army to open the door, but the lord did not allow it, so his lord general came to speak."

"Do you know who the generals of the Jin army are here?"

"Metropolitan Governor Geng Peng."

"It's him!"

"General Wei knows?" Jiang Min asked.

"Oh, I don't know. I had heard about the battle of Jiangdong back then. ”

To say that I don't know that is false, not only do I know it, but I am quite familiar with it. In the battle of Jiangdong that year, Geng Peng was still the governor of the right capital, and he was regarded as a general in the Jin army who could conquer and fight habitually, and he was quite appreciated by Han He, and it may not be impossible to become a general one day.

Bai Liyan was a little worried at this time, in case he was recognized by Geng Peng in person, but after thinking about the battle of Jiangdong for five or six years, he was no longer the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who didn't even have full hair.

About a quarter of an hour later, the Jin warships docked at the port, and more than 2,000 people went ashore one after another, and Geng Peng then entered the port and landed.

Boarding the port and walking to the north gate, Geng Peng shouted under the city:

"The Xian army defending the city listens, Geng Peng, the capital of the Jin army, and quickly let Guangxin open the city."

At this time, Jiang Min stood at the head of the city, and said without hurry:

"General Geng, Lone is here, if you have anything to say, just say it under the city."

Of course, Geng Peng has never seen Jiang Min, and it is so dark that he naturally can't see it, but no matter who comes forward, even if it is a pretend, what should be said still has to be said, whether it is true or false, the news will always reach Jiang Min's ears.

After some careful observation, Geng Peng said:

"Guangxin Gong, I will be ordered to rescue Pucheng, and I must land in Guangxin, so please make it convenient for your Excellency to open the city."

"General Geng, Guangxin has been besieged on three sides, your army will not land elsewhere to rescue Pucheng, how can you break through the siege when you come to Guangxin."

"Guangxin Gong, our army failed to land in many places in Pucheng, and we had no choice but to come to Guangxin, if you and I can join forces, how can we not break the thief soldiers."

"Hmph, I don't see the thieves and soldiers of the 80,000 lions, now I am convinced that they are all old and weak miscellaneous soldiers, how can they fight with the enemy, General Geng should return to Lei City as soon as possible, lest the rebels divide their troops to attack Lei City and seize your army's food and grass."

In order to attack Pucheng, Ji Guang took 80,000 people from Leicheng, Geng Peng was able to mobilize only 60,000, Guan Lingdu fought a battle, and the Jin army fled back to Leicheng more than 10,000 people, a total of 70,000 people.

Geng Peng came here to lead an army of 40,000, and 30,000 remained in Leicheng. Even if the rebels besieged the city with 100,000 men, it would be impossible to capture Thunder City in ten days. What's more, the rebels were divided into Guangxin and Pucheng, and they couldn't draw 100,000 horses to besiege Leicheng. Therefore, Jiang Min's words became an alarmist prevarication in Geng Peng's ears, because he didn't want him to enter the city.

"Guangxin Gong, my general's grain and grass will be exhausted, and it is in danger, if you and I can't work together to break the enemy, if the general makes a mistake, you Guangxin Gong will be unable to escape the blame."

"General Geng's words are serious, half a month ago, he sent someone to General Jiguang to send 50,000 stones of grain and grass, and the black turban thieves are now besieging Pucheng without attacking, and General Jiguang can still hold on to grain and grass for two or three months, so why is it in danger. General Geng should return to Leicheng quickly, otherwise the situation will deteriorate if you lose food and grass, and you will be the one to blame. ”

Geng Peng nominally joined forces to break the Black Turban Army, but in fact, he defeated the Black Turban Army besieging the city, and asked Guangxin to send troops to relieve the siege of Pucheng.

Not to mention whether the two armies can defeat the rebels who encircled Guangxin, Guangxin is the only land route to Pucheng, and the only way to go to Pucheng is by land, there is no possibility of landing at sea, and it is even more unrealistic to detour.

At that time, the rebels set up an ambush to defeat the coalition army, and then followed the pursuit and defeat of the rout soldiers and went straight to Guangxin, where can Guangxin still hold on. Even if the siege of Pucheng is finally relieved, the Xian army will get nothing good, nothing.

Geng Peng saw that Jiang Min was delaying the opening of the city gate, and his heart was full of anger:

"Jiang Min, do you open it or not!"

"Hmph, General Geng, please go back, forgive me for not being accompanied!"

"Jiang Min Pifu, you dare to do this!"

Geng Peng completely ignored the face of any ally, and scolded hysterically, which shows that the Jin State can be contemptuous of the Xian State.

After retreating into the city tower, Luo Songting said worriedly:

"Lord, I'm afraid Lei Cheng will not be protected."

"Alas...... It's all due to the fragility of the Jin army, and now there is still the cheekiness to ask me to send troops in Guangxin, wishful thinking. ”

Bai Liyan said at this time:

"Wei Mou, Lei City is dispensable now, and it is okay to let the rebels take it."

"Why did General Wei say this?" Luo Songting was puzzled.

"Leicheng is related to the grain and grass of the Jin army, without the grain and grass of Leicheng, more than 100,000 Jin troops can only get grain and grass supplies from the Xian army. And Mr. Luo's previous plan was that the Jin army was heavily stationed in Pucheng and trapped by the rebels, so that our army could send troops from Dingyang and unite with the Jin army in Leicheng to contain the enemy besieging Pucheng from behind, so as to force the Jin army to fight to the death with the rebels.

Now the Jin army is so vulnerable, more than 20,000 people were lost in the first battle, and only more than 40,000 people of the Jin army were trapped in Pucheng, and even if the rebels transferred 50,000 or 60,000 people from outside Pucheng at this time, it was enough to trap the Jin army in Pucheng.

In this way, the rebels can attack Leicheng within a few days, and even if our army can send troops from Dingyang City, the rebels besieging Pucheng will probably withdraw from Pucheng in advance and come to join forces with the rebels outside Guangxin City. At that time, Beihai County will have more than 130,000 mouths of the Jin army, which will become a nightmare for our army. ”

Luo Songting originally planned to contain the rebels on the periphery of Guangxin and prevent them from going to Zengyuan to besiege the rebels in Pucheng, so that the rebels besieging the city were only 100,000, while the Jin army guarding Pucheng had 80,000, and the two sides were comparable.

No one dared to act rashly, so that it could not secretly attack Leicheng from Pucheng and Guangxin, and then the Xian army dispatched cavalry from Dingyang, combined with the reinforced Jin army, galloped to aid Pucheng, and the Xian army came to work again without contribution, so that the Jin army and the rebels were consumed.

But what was unexpected was that the Jin army was so vulnerable, losing more than 20,000 soldiers and fleeing 10,000 in just one battle. The Jin army trapped in Pucheng was only 40,000, and the rebels still needed to use 100,000 people to besiege the city.

Since the rebels have been able to send heavy troops from outside Pucheng to attack Thunder City, they must be sure of victory, so it is only a matter of time before Thunder City is lost, and Luo Songting's existing plan is basically aborted because the Jin army is vulnerable.

Now they have to face the embarrassing situation that after the loss of Lei City, the Jin army has no food available.

The rebels will certainly not forcibly take Pucheng after Pucheng draws troops to capture Leicheng, but withdraws the tens of thousands of Jin soldiers and horses besieging Pucheng and transfers them to Guangxin to strengthen the siege forces, so as not to be merged by the Dingyang cavalry and the Jin army and attack the rebels besieging Guangxin from behind.

The rebels who captured Leicheng held on to the spot, transferred grain and grass, and at the same time transferred the miscellaneous soldiers defending the city from Sangnan and Sangbei of the Changsun Kingdom, reorganized and trained into an army, and then went to Beihai County to fight.

In this way, Beihai County not only had to fill the hundreds of thousands of Jin troops waiting to be fed, but also faced a huge military threat, and at the same time could not resume agricultural production, which once again increased the burden on the Xian army.

In the final analysis, the many efforts made by Guangxin not only did not lead the war situation in favor of the development of Xianguo, but because of the military defeat of the Jin army, it continued to evolve towards the thunderous plan as always.

Bai Liyan previously concluded that what the Jin army did not only did not play any beneficial role, but also may drag the Xianjun back in the end, but now in the unfortunate words, it is not others who are being ironic, but the Xianjun himself.

At this time, Geng Peng was still scolding outside the city, and Chen Yunfeng interjected in a flash of inspiration:

"Senior, can you find a way to make Geng Peng leave for Thunder City immediately."

"It's hard." Luo Songting replied with only two words.

"What Mr. Luo said is good." Bai Liyan affirmed, and continued: "The strength of Pucheng is only 40,000, and the Jin army is no better than the Xian army, and it is unprepared for the rebels' combat tricks and inexperienced. If Geng Peng withdraws his troops back to Leicheng, the rebels will definitely attack Leicheng and withdraw their men and horses, and then attack Pucheng. If Pucheng is lost, Geng Peng will be guilty of ten thousand deaths, and he will be killed by military law in the future, and he will never dare to disobey the military order to withdraw his troops back to Leicheng. ”
