On the 23rd of July, the cavalry and infantry withdrawn from Qingzhou arrived in Guangzong, and Gao Shun decided to storm Guangzong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the 24th, siege tools such as wells, ladders, and siege vehicles were pushed to the west gate.

Li Qiang led the high-ranking infantry of Liangtun to board several wells and began to suppress the defenders on the city wall.

The well is more than ten meters high, slightly higher than the head of the city, and six well guards are lined up in the west of the city, more than 50 meters away from the city wall.

Li Qiang first shot at the Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city with a nine-stone foot crossbow, and the heavy arrows he used were powerful and heavy, and with a "poof" sound, he directly shot the head of a small leader on the other side and exploded, and the head of the city let out a burst of exclamation; The other leaders of the Yellow Turban Army immediately demanded shouting: "Squat, squat, hide behind the battlements." ”

Other high-ranking infantry were also prepared to shoot arrows, but anyone who showed their head was the target of their attack.

The Yellow Turbans lacked archers and could do nothing against the wells.

For this siege, even the 12 tun infantry led by Pei Yuanshao were transferred.

Gao Shun believed that there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and in order to motivate the siege soldiers, he announced on the spot: "Warriors, those who can climb first, will be given thousands of acres of land, tens of millions of money, and 100 slaves." ”

The officers and men shouted to the sky, "Hurray!" Wansheng! ”

"Hooray! Wansheng! ”

"Hooray! Wansheng! ”

The loud shouts boosted morale; The Yellow Turban soldiers on the city wall were extremely depressed.

Gao Shun also asked Pei Yuanshao and others to go to the well to carry out rebellion against the Yellow Turban Army in the city.

He turned out to be Zhang Jiao's personal guard, and if there are many people who have seen him, the effect will be better.

The content is nothing more than only punishing Zhang Liang, surrendering but not killing, and distributing fields, the Yellow Turban Army that surrendered before is now living a good life; Those who kill Zhang Liang will be rewarded with tens of millions of dollars; If the city is conquered, the officers and soldiers will slaughter the city, and everyone will not escape the fate; Now that Gwangjong has become an isolated city, the food in the city will run out sooner or later, and if you don't surrender, there is only a dead end.

Zhang Liang looked at Pei Yuanshao shouting from a distance, his face was blue with anger; Many people scolded Pei Yuanshao as a traitor, and more people chose to remain silent.

Subsequently, Gao Shun ordered each infantry Sima to send a song of infantry to test the siege of the city, and a total of 4 pieces were dispatched.

Each song pushes two ladders and gradually moves closer to the city.

There was a commotion at the city walls.

But whoever stands upright will be attacked with a bow and arrow, or a crossbow.

The infantry advanced slowly, mainly to create opportunities for the archers to intimidate the defenders by shooting the Yellow Turban soldiers.

The city was prepared with sufficient defensive materials, stones, fork guns, boiling oil, boiling water, rolling wood, etc., but under the suppression of the archers, they could not fight back with all their strength.

These Yellow Turban Army joined under the temptation of having a full meal, and they had food to eat with the Yellow Turban Army, which is the simple ideal of many people, but no one is willing to take their lives because of eating; Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao were beheaded, and Guangzong City became a lonely city; For the officers and soldiers outside the city, they could not be beaten and defeated, they could not run away, they were besieged for a long time, the food in the city was exhausted, and they would be starved to death if they were not killed; Therefore, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army in the city was low.

Now the officers and soldiers promise that they will only punish the evil, and they can still live a good life, Pei Yuanshao is a good example, and they can't help but be unmoved.

The siege continued for three days, beginning at dawn in the morning and continuing until it was almost dark in the afternoon.

Li Qiang asked, "Lord, do you want to consume their materials for defending the city?" ”

Gao Shun said with a smile: "The supplies in the city are very sufficient, how can they be consumed, I just want them to have habitual thinking and gradually slack off, so as to create a good opportunity to attack the city." ”

The besieging ones were not active, but only attracted the defenders at the head of the city, so that the archers could shoot them; The Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city is not stupid, and it will not show its head until the critical moment, so there are not many Yellow Turban soldiers who have been killed, but almost all of them have been shot in the head and died, and the tragic death makes the people around feel cold in their hearts.

Although Zhang Liang trusted the Yellow Turban Army, he was also afraid that someone would rebel and join the enemy after killing him, so he kept the guards and arranged strict security personnel to live in fear every day.

Fear is contagious, and Zhang Liang's emotions are transmitted to the guards, and the nervousness of the guards makes the morale of the Yellow Turban Army around him even lower.

The crowd at the head of Guangzong City was surging, and Zhang Liang arranged a large number of personnel to be on duty on the west wall of the city, which looked yellow from a distance; I am afraid that the officers and soldiers will launch a sudden attack.

Gao Shun decided to adopt the tactics of Huangfu Song in history, sneak attack battle!

After a few days of virtual fighting at the west gate of the city, the Yellow Turban Army was a little lax, and Gao Shun felt that the time was ripe.

On the morning of the 28th day of the seventh month of the leap month, before dawn, Gao Shun suddenly launched an attack on the east gate of Guangzong City.

3 Tun senior infantry and 5 tun junior infantry were placed on the east gate wall; Gao Shun released the ladder from the ring, took advantage of the situation to climb the city wall, and personally commanded the battle against the Yellow Turban Army.

At the same time, all the infantry launched a fierce attack from the western wall.

The cavalry galloped towards the east gate.

Leaving 5 tun junior infantry at the head of the city to suppress the Yellow Turban army in the city with bows and arrows, he led the 3 tun senior infantry down to the city gate, and saw that the Yellow Turban army blocked the city gate with earth and stones, which was difficult for him, and quickly loaded them all into the ring and opened the city gate.

At this time, the cavalry, under the leadership of Wen Chou, had rushed over and rushed into the city at high speed.

Gao Shun ordered the infantry to shout: "Surrender or kill!" ”

Hundreds of people shouted at the same time, and the whole city could hear it.

The other three gates were blocked, and the opportunity to escape was lost, and the officers and soldiers promised to surrender without killing, and they had long learned from the gossip that Gao Shun's follow-up measures to those who surrendered were very good, so some of them threw away their weapons and surrendered.

As long as they can live, no one wants to die, and if someone demonstrates, more people will respond.

The cavalry went straight to the county government and surrounded Zhang Liang.

Gao Shun put the earth and stones in the ring on both sides of the city gate, and then led the 8 infantry to rush into the city.

Li Qiang stopped the attack at the west gate, led the infantry around the east gate, and entered the city.

The general trend has gone, Zhang Liang committed suicide, and all the Yellow Turban troops in Guangzong City surrendered.

The quality of this group of Yellow Turban Army was relatively good, and they were the elite soldiers selected by Zhang Jiao at that time, and Gao Shun decided to select some of them to join the army.

A total of 20 cavalry and 60 infantry were selected, and more than 8,000 families quickly stabilized.

Zhang Liang's head was not obtained by anyone, and everyone was a little disappointed; Subsequently, Gao Shun's order somewhat relieved them.

Yan Liang, Zhang Fei and others each increased by one tun, each led the Batun cavalry, and was promoted to military Sima; Wenchou added two tuns, cavalry and infantry each with 12 tuns; Pei Yuanshao was a cavalry soldier and led the Wutun cavalry.

Wen Chou chose Cheng Huan as his deputy, and they felt that Cheng Huan was older and had more management experience than him, which was a supplement to him.

The remaining people and their families were resettled in Guangzong and Quzhou counties.

This time, Gao Shun adopted the practice of Qingzhou, in which each person could lease 10 acres of land, with 30 percent of the land rent, and the military recruits were allocated 20 acres of land and were exempt from tax for one year.

For those who still showed red dots, Gao Shun singled them out and their families and held them in solitary confinement.

Guangzong County has been destroyed and needs to be rebuilt urgently; Gao Shun first occupied 50,000 acres of it to form a manor; The families of the cavalry were all placed in the vicinity of the manor, and the families of the infantry were placed in Quyang County and Julu City to settle their household registration.

He mainly valued the geographical location of Guangzong City, which was at the junction of Julu County, Anping Kingdom, Qinghe Kingdom and Wei County; And the distance from Qingzhou and Yanzhou is also very close, which is convenient for external support when expanding the territory in the future, and temporarily serves as a secret move for him.

The seizure in Guangzong made Gao Shun very happy, but the money alone was several times that of Xia Quyang; It was immediately announced that all officers and soldiers participating in the service would be rewarded with two months' salaries.

A large amount of grain and land was distributed, which quickly stabilized the situation in Julu County.

In the entire Jizhou, only Zhao Guo still had scattered Yellow Turban Army, but now they were all in a state of concealment, Gao Shun pretended not to know, and then sent Zhang Liang's head to the capital urgently.

The Jizhou War came to an end.
