4. Hunger kills fat towns
At this time, Wang Qianxiu still held some hope and stretched out his hand.
But Hun Ying's face was cold, and his expression obviously told him that he didn't have to look forward anymore.
Then Hun Yang took the hall and the edict, and sat on the bed again, but this time it was to plan how to attack Feixiang City.
"Feixiang, the city is small and the land is narrow, Yuanyi, Li Wentong, Shi Dingfan and other thieves, the number of people who can fight is originally only 3,000, and Shi Dingfan has brought more than 1,000 people, and the combined army is less than 5,000. In addition, there are more than 10,000 people, who are soldiers' families, mostly women, children, old and weak, if our army blocks the passage between Feixiang and Weibo Town, then within the time limit specified by Gao Gaolang, the problem of capturing Feixiang is not big. Xiahou Zhongxuan offered his plan again.
This has betrayed Yuanyi, and was played by Hun Yang as the new assassin of Yuanyi, so he is determined to help the official army completely annihilate Yuanyi's party.
Hun Xuan nodded, then made up his mind, and set his eyes on Shang Kegu, the general of Shence Longxiang.
Shang Kegu understood, so he hugged his fists and asked Ying to say that our army is willing to be the vanguard of the siege, and asked Wang Qianxiu Wang Jieshuai to lead the troops to block the reinforcements that Wei Bozhen might send.
"Weizhou is far from Feixiang City, but fifty or sixty miles, if Tianxu sends troops, Qingzhang is a must-pass place, please Zhaoyi Army Jiedu envoy Wang Qianxiu to lead five thousand soldiers and horses, rush to Qingzhang, the way of Wei Bo's reinforcements, if half of the Weizhou soldiers to Feixiang City, only the sin of the king and the marshal." Hun Xuan is unceremonious.
"Whoa." Although Wang Qianxiu's heart was very heavy, he still resolutely accepted such an order.
"The other teams, follow the road to storm Feixiang City, and they must not retreat." Hun Ying then said.
Under the city wall of Feixiang City, the smoke was billowing out, and Hun Ying hired thousands of local people from Zhaozhou with grain and money to cut timber for the officials and soldiers, and made well fences, donkey carts, and Tongwan cannons, and then the iron on the Tongwan cannons fell heavily, pulled the swing arm and turned up, and constantly threw hard mud balls and fireballs into Feixiang City like raindrops.
Shang Kegu commanded the children of the Long Xiang army to fill the ditch of Feixiang City with bundles of grass and trees, and then pushed the well fence to the horse face of the city wall, allowing the soldiers to climb up, and at the same time pushed the donkey cart to the base of the city wall, let the soldiers lie under it, and dig hard with iron shovels.
At the head of the city, Yuan Yi and Li Wentong were close to despair, but they still supervised the battle with swords, if only Wei Bo's army could cross Zhangshui and reinforce here.
The arrows fired from all sides of Feixiang City made a sneering sound, some were shot at the wooden structure of the well railing, some were shot at the wrapped cowhide, and the soldiers of the Longxiang Army were one by one, holding the regimental card to cover their bodies, and the cards were full of white arrow feathers, unhurriedly, and constantly attacking the horse face wall.
"Early fall, early drop!" Under the city, the Fenghua army, which was responsible for the refusal, was lined up in a huge phalanx stretching on both sides, with guns, spears and swords, constantly shouting loudly.
After five days of attack, the city wall of Feixiang City was dug by donkey carts and collapsed in five places, the ditch was flattened, and the watchtowers were all crushed.
Previously, in the military office of the Daimyo's Mansion, Tian Xu was restless, walking back and forth, looking at the map from time to time, he wanted to send troops to aid Yuanyi, but Xing Caojun warned him not to do this, and it was best to send an envoy to the court as soon as possible to express his obedience, but Tian Xu was unwilling, absolutely unwilling.
He also knew that the imperial court and that Gao Yue would have to deal with Wei Bo sooner or later.
Wei Bo's generals Liu Zhan and Nie Feng were under the hall at this moment, waiting for Tian Xu's order.
As for Xing Caojun, in order to stabilize the situation, he has returned to Beizhou in the north of Weizhou.
I heard that Wang Wujun, who had become a German army, was originally eager to try and was ready to lead the elite cavalry south to "help" the officers and troops to attack Xing and Huan, but when Li Ziliang's Fengcheng army appeared in Jingcheng, Wang Wujun immediately withdrew his team, and humbly said that he would prepare 5,000 stone of military rations for the counterinsurgency officers and troops.
And the Ziqing Ping Lu Army, because of the festival, Li Na still had his last breath left, lying on the sickbed, so it was impossible for him to send the army to help Yuanyi.
"You two take 5,000 soldiers and go to Qingzhang, if there are still people in Yuanyi who escape from Feixiang City, you two will take it" In the end, Tian Xu sighed and gave this helpless order.
In the Daimyo Mansion, Nie Feng hurried back to his house, preparing to lead his horse to the school field and gather soldiers to go on the expedition.
Under the bright sun, his daughter, only ten years old, stood under the porch with her arms in her arms, looking at her father.
Nie Feng didn't have time to talk to Aroldo, so he warned her not to walk around at home, this Weizhou City is a place where rivers and canals are accessible, and there are many people, and my father and I will be able to come back in ten days.
Aro nodded obediently.
After explaining, Nie Feng said goodbye to his daughter, rode a war horse, left the yard of the house, and galloped to the school field
However, at this time, Feixiang City could no longer support it.
Not only was the city defense destroyed, but even the food was exhausted, and Wei Bo's reinforcements still couldn't be seen.
Hun Ying couldn't bear to see all the people in the city destroyed, so he asked Lu Lun to write a letter of persuasion, tied it with an arrow, and shot it in, asking Yuanyi to think carefully and open the city unconditionally earlier.
"It's me who has lost the court!" As a result, after receiving Hun Ying's letter, Yuanyi, Li Wentong and Shi Dingfan all knelt down, beat their chests uncontrollably, and cried loudly, and then they led the military academy, Du Luobai in front of the letter, and then drew a knife, cut off their hair buns in turn, put them on the ground, and paused in the direction of Chang'an, saying that they were willing to surrender, change their minds, and ask the court to issue a pardon for Deyin, and they handed over the city.
However, Hun Ying rode a white horse and shouted under the city: "You have already committed the crime of conspiracy, and it is too late to think about Deyin at this time." ”
In fact, I really can't get Deyin!
"Please wait for me!" At the head of the city, Yuanyi and others cried and shook the sky, and they couldn't stop kowtowing.
Hun Xuan was helpless, he knew that Deyin was impossible.
As a result, the official army continued to besiege Feixiang City, which was starved of food.
And three more days passed, and the garrison of the city was starving, and their homes were even more miserable, and some of them had died of starvation.
"Cut the flesh of the starving and keep on guarding it!" Li Wentong is a ruthless character, and immediately asked Yuanyi.
Yuan Yi was paralyzed against the pillar, and his daughter Ah Yun was so hungry that she was lying at her father's feet in a splendid shirt, and she didn't even have the strength to moan.
"Those who starved to death were all the children and families of the Zhaoyi Army, and I told them that I wanted to give them rich and noble, but now I have caused people to lose their lives, where do they have the face to eat their corpses" Yuanyi said this, swallowed his saliva, but only felt that the intestines in his abdomen had become a drum surface, and the bones in his body had become drumsticks. ”
Li Wentong cried and said that it must not be.
"Anyway, Wei Shuai is her Ah Weng, if she is eaten and swallowed in the stomach of the soldier, it will also be her Ah Weng's face." Yuanyi touched his daughter's hair and said hatefully.
Weizhou to Feixiang is only a few dozen miles away, these days, Tian Xu's reinforcements are climbing, and they should also climb over.
Thinking of this, Yuanyi gritted his teeth, withdrew his hand from his daughter's hair, and with a pop, drew his sword out of its sheath.
