I saw that the Qi army had set up a position in the south of Puyang City, and after playing full of prestige, there were three chariots in front of and behind and drove towards the south gate of Puyang. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Puyang City is not large, and there are less than 100,000 people in the city, so only one gate in all four directions of this city is enough to use.

The three chariots of the Qi army soon ran to the only city gate in the south, and ran until they reached the moat, only a few dozen steps away from the city gate before they stopped, the chariot just stopped, the war horse was still swinging its tail, and on the first chariot, someone shouted loudly.

"The guards in the city listen, I am Gongsun Qiu, the vanguard general of the Qi Kingdom, and I have come to inform you and others on the order of my king. Wei Qi offended the Zhou room, hijacked the Son of Heaven, after hearing about it, I swore to Linzi, vowed to seek justice, and returned the Son of Heaven to Luoyang, on the way to Wei, and learned that Er and other guards helped to abuse the Son of Heaven, and actually sent troops to cooperate with the Wei army to capture the Son of Heaven, the crime is more than this. ”

Therefore, my monarch decided to attack Puyang first, declare the righteousness of the world, Ruoer and others were guilty, go down to the city to ask for mercy, withdraw the army accompanying Wei, and swore that they would not follow Wei in the future. If you are stubborn, my king will give an order, and 200,000 troops will come together, and they will definitely kill Puyang City without leaving a piece of armor! ”

This Gongsun Qiu is young and vigorous, and his shouting is also full of momentum, which makes the guards in the city weak and frightened, and can't help but tremble, "Wu'er, everyone, this Qi army has 200,000, and it is about to attack the city, what should the widow do?" ”

Zi Dongqiang, who was neatly draped on the side, hurriedly held his father again, "Father, don't worry, the messenger in the city has already descended from the hanging basket in Xicheng and went straight to Daliang, and the Wei army will come soon." As for the Qi army under the city, in the view of the sons, I am afraid that there are only 100,000 people, and there are also the banners of the Lu country, I think the Lu people will not work hard to attack the city, and the Qi army does not even see a cloud ladder lemon car, it is expected that it will not be able to attack the city today, and when the sons reply, I will shout out the momentum of my defense of the country, what does the father think? ”

"Yes, go ahead." Wei Hou waved his hand a little weakly.

"No." As soon as Zi Dongqiang, who was strong in blood, gave up his hand, he immediately walked towards the female wall at the very edge of the city tower, and shouted down through the battlements on the female wall.

"General Gongsun Qiu, I am Dongqiang, the son of the country, turned to the left and turned to the clouds, and I want to add to the crime, is there no excuse? It is clear that Korea offended the Son of Heaven, and the Marquis of Wei was ordered by the king to cut it down, and I defended the country from the left and right of the Son of Heaven and conquered Han Rebellion, which is really righteous, so how can I hold the Son of Heaven hostage? You are waiting for Qi people, with dirty thoughts, and claiming to seek justice for the royal family, but it is really reckless for your own selfish interests, and Yan Hou is more than this. I am not talented, and I have heard that if I am fighting for the royal family, when there is a banner of the king's order, dare to ask if your army has it? ”

Zi Dongqiang's answer was-for-tat, and directly refuted the Qi people's words, but the Qi people listened to it and it was nothing, but it startled the monarch's father behind Zi Dongqiang, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Wu'er replied like this, the words are sharp, don't annoy the Qi army, it's better to say good words." ”

Zi Dongqiang hurriedly turned around and supported his father, "Father, this Qi army is coming with a heavy weight, and the plan must be not small, and it will not give up lightly, I might as well shout out the momentum of defending the country, so that the world can know the crimes of the Marquis of Qi." ”

Wei Hou shook his head, "Wu'er is still younger, who is more important between the city and the momentum?" Wu'er should prepare for the battle quickly. ”

"No." Zi Dongqiang bowed and replied, but he didn't know what he was still thinking in his heart.

At this time, I only heard the Qi army under the city shouting loudly, "Since you don't know what to do and insist on maintaining the rebellion of the Marquis of Wei, my monarch has no words to persuade again, so I will meet each other." My monarch does not deceive the small widows in the city, you send out 5,000 people, I also send 5,000 people, how about seeing the real chapter under the city? ”

This is the Qi army inviting the guards to go down to the city to fight, and in the entire ancient cold weapon period, it is common for both sides to invite battles, and it is also in line with the default rules of the times.

There was no result in the scolding array, so he immediately turned to call for war, and Gongsun was simply revenged, but this battle still did not fight, and the problem was placed in front of the defenders.

Besides, although this son Dongqiang scolded loudly, but he was not stupid, after listening to Gongsun Qiu's words, he immediately turned around and bowed to his father and said, "Father, among the sons and ministers, you should stick to the help, and you should not go to war." ”

Wei Hou was even more timid, even if all his ministers said that they would fight, he would not do it, so he naturally agreed again and again. So this son Dongqiang immediately arranged to find someone to prepare more sasalama braziers, and then gather people in the city to actively defend.

And the generals of the Qi army shouted under the city for a long time, the guards scolded back twice at the beginning, for a long time, but no one took care of it, until nearly noon, the Marquis of Qi couldn't stand it, so he ordered the withdrawal of the troops, after returning to the camp, the generals of the Qi army gathered together, the Marquis of Qi ordered to go down, and after lunch, the logging began.

Qi Hou is determined to attack the city, naturally he has to build more ladders and lemon cars, otherwise although this Puyang City is not as tall as Linzi, he can't climb it with his bare hands. And the original target of the Qi army was the Wei army, with the strength of the Wei army, how could they defend the city without coming out, isn't it a joke.

Therefore, when the Qi army went out on this expedition, they did not plan to attack the city at all, that is, they did not even bring the craftsmen and tools to make siege equipment, but after all, so many people went, even if they cut with swords, they could also put down a large number of trees, not to mention that the army still brought axes.

The next day, the wood will be cut down to make a simple wooden shield and wooden ladder, fortunately, the city wall of Puyang is not high, only two people high, so this wooden ladder does not need to be too long, and it is not very laborious to make.

Finally, it took a day's work, Qi Jun made hundreds of wooden ladders, as well as hundreds of wooden shields, it was almost enough, looking at the large piece that was placed, Qi Hou's mood was getting better and better, Wei Guo didn't fight, and it was good to hug Wei Guo.

This is the day when Zhou Bian arrived in Daliang with the Wei army, at this time, hundreds of miles away in Daliang City, Zhou Bian has entered the city with the Wei Hou army, but not to mention the royal family, it is the Wei Hou, and he only knows that the Qi army is dispatched, but he doesn't know where the Qi army has gone, and the messenger of the Wei country is still running on the road day and night.

It is a pity that Qi Hou was still a little unlucky after all, and on this night, after all the wooden ladders and wooden shields were completed, when Qi Hou was excited about the siege that would come the next day, in the middle of the night, a north wind blew, and then it rained.

This autumn rain is scarce, if it is a peaceful period, listening to the rain in the courtyard hitting the plantain is also very nourishing, but it is a pity to listen to the ears of Qi Hou who has not yet fallen asleep because of excitement, but it is only like beating in the heart, the excitement of Qi Hou is knocked out little by little, and the good mood of Qi Hou is knocked out little by little, until Qi Hou can no longer sleep, fidgeting in the tent, from time to time out of the tent to look, and finally did not sleep all night.

Is Qi Hou worried that his soldiers will be drenched in their sleep at night? Is Qi Hou worried that the tents of his generals will leak rain? Obviously, it is not, Qi Hou is anxious, how to attack the city again after this rain.

Yes, in this era, or in the entire era of cold weapons, it is a taboo for military operations when it rains, and it is inconvenient to march and fight, not only because it is not fast to run in the mud in cloth shoes and straw sandals, but also because in this era, even if it is a coat, everyone cannot match it, not only because the view will be blocked in the rain curtain, but also that the wet bowstring will become stiff and difficult to pull apart, and the wooden pole of the halberd spear will become slippery and difficult to hold.

So this rain didn't stop, and Qi Hou's heart was lifted up and couldn't be put down.

Sadly, it is the season of autumn rain, how can this autumn rain be so easy to stop, Qi Hou just listened to the sound of the rain, looking at the dawn, the rain has not decreased at all, until the sky is bright, and the people will come to see in the rain, this rain, there is no meaning to stop.

After all, people are not as good as heaven, Qi Hou couldn't help but raise his head and roar.

And the place where this north wind sends the autumn rain is not only Puyang. Three hundred miles away in Daliang City, Zhou Bian had a rare lazy sleep, and before he opened his eyes, he heard the sound of rain hitting the roof tiles outside the window, which was particularly pleasant in the silence.

It turned out that it was also raining in the beams, and it was difficult to march again when it rained, so it was no wonder that no one came to get up this morning.

If Qi Hou learned that it was also raining in this big beam, he might think better in his heart, otherwise this rain would be drenched on my Qi army, but not on your Wei army, wouldn't it make people feel unfair, and it can also be seen that a person or a country, no matter how bad his luck is, will not be so bad, because in a place you don't know, he is also extremely fair to be "taken care of", but you can't see it.

An autumn rain, the courtyard in the city of Daliang was full of thin water, there was no advanced rain gear in this era, and Zhou Bian didn't want to invent the umbrella now, so he could only stay in the house. In the morning, only Baning came over in a lily coat to inform the Wei army that there was no action today, and no one else came.

This also fell to the royal family clean, so, after breakfast, Zhou Bian and Fan Yu practiced swords, during this time either in the camp tent is inconvenient, or in the venue afraid of the Wei people to see, or in the march, sometimes there is no sword practice. Although Zhou Bian is also doing some physical exercises, such as push-ups, squats, or something, he is not happy to practice swords with others after all.

This autumn rain fell, Qi Hou's eyes lit up with sorrow, Wei Hou was also a little anxious, but only the focus of the dispute between the two sides, Zhou Bian, the king of the Zhou family, was quiet and peaceful, and there was a lot of relaxation, plus happiness, perhaps, this is what the world says, the center of the whirlwind is often the calmest.

When it was dyed, the same happy, and even clapped their hands, it was the guards in Puyang City.

In the season of autumn rain, it is not so easy to stop, otherwise how can it be called continuous? The rain in Puyang kept falling, but in the afternoon, it was only a little lighter, which made Qi Hou look at the gloomy sky, longing for it to stop, but it just didn't stop.

In the center of the palace city of Daliang, Wei Hou also looked at this day with his eyes, although he was not as urgent as Qi Hou, Wei Hou also looked forward to the rain stopping. Otherwise, if there is no rain in the north, and the Qi army reaches the river and crosses the river smoothly, then most of the arrangements of the Marquis of Wei will be wasted.

No, you can't wait like this, the autumn rain continues, the army can't walk, but a single spy can still be sent out, Wei Hou beckoned, and immediately a waiter came up, after some arrangement, not long after, a dozen or so men in robes and bare feet rushed out of Daliang City. Wei Hou had to know where the Qi army had gone now.

No matter what era it is, as a scout or spy in the army, or a detective soldier in later generations, he is always the most hard, although extremely reluctant, but these ten men still resolutely went out of the city, but what they don't know is that there is more bitter than them, that is, the Weiguo messenger who rushed from Puyang, finally bypassed the Qi army, worried about being scared and walked for a day, but he didn't think that it started to rain in the middle of the night, alas, there was no way, so he had to rush with his life.

The rain lasted for a day, and in the evening it stopped for an hour, but I didn't expect it to start falling again after dark.

On the second day, the rain was still falling, Qi Hou's eyes were red, and he finally shook his head and hid in the tent to rest, and Qi Hou did not sleep well in these two nights.

The autumn rain has not completely stopped, and the Qi Hou is so anxious that it seems that there are a few more gray hairs, but fortunately, three days later, the Qi army scouts reported, and there was not a single Wei soldier in the Wei realm, and it was also raining in the Wei country, so the Qi Hou thought a little better in his heart, otherwise if there was no rain in the Wei country, I was afraid that the Qi Hou would soon make up his mind to retreat in the rain.

However, two days later, when Daliang City was still immersed in the autumn rain, a man with a pale face, red eyes, and vain steps staggered into Daliang City, and soon after, this man was supported to the main hall in Daliang Palace, which was not yet fully completed.

Soon after, many Wei generals in Daliang City, as well as Gongsun Ya, a general of the Wei Dynasty who arrived a day late, were called to rush to the main hall in the rain, and then the main hall seemed to quarrel very much, listening to the ears of the soldiers guarding the door of the main hall, the quarrel in the hall seemed to be louder than the sound of rain.

But the quarrel did not last long, and soon the general hurried out of the main hall.

An hour later, the soldiers guarding the east gate of Daliang were surprised to find that the remaining 6,000 patriotic soldiers had left the city in the rain.

Yes, braving the rain to go out of the city, you must know that in this era, marching in the mud and mud is an extremely difficult thing, especially this rain will not stop at night, and it is also a problem to rest at night, but these 6,000 guards are still on the road.

However, to the surprise of the gatekeepers, not long after the guards left the city, 10,000 Wei elites also left the city. It was indeed the elite of the Wei army, and the soldiers guarding the gate were not mistaken, because every soldier was so tall and resolute, and almost all of them were equipped with robes and clogs on their feet. What's going on? Why did the king send these troops in the rain? The soldiers guarding the gate didn't know, they only knew that when they saw the talisman, they would let them go out, and at the same time cast sympathetic glances at these comrades, and they didn't know how much they would have to suffer along the way.

And this rain also continued intermittently for six days. If you look at Puyang, from the middle of the night of the second day when the Qi army arrived in Puyang, it will not officially stop until the afternoon of the seventh day, and the west of Puyang will be sunny in the evening.

The Qi army finally survived the rain.
