After Shun took over the Changzhi barracks, Xing Jiamu handed over the talisman to Bai Heng, "From now on, all the people and things in this barracks are at your disposal, you can do whatever you want, and we will fully cooperate with you." ”

After Bai Heng got the talisman, he began to prepare for the attack on Zichang, the battle plan just now Bai Heng had already said it very clearly, he didn't say that on a temporary basis, in fact, he had already thought about how to deal with the situation in front of him.

After everyone left, He Yue said to Xing Jiamu: "Aren't you afraid that this Bai Heng will become another Sikong Hai?" ”

Xing Jiamu smiled and said: "There are not many people available to us now, we can only explore in practice, to see who can use it, and who can't use it, Bai Heng is the first, if he can really be used by me, then I will not treat him badly in the future, if he can't be used by me, when this battle ends, it will be the day when he Bai Heng dies." ”

After everything was ready, Bai Heng returned to Xing Jiamu again and asked him if he could start the siege, Xing Jiamu glanced at him and said, "Didn't I say it, you don't need to ask me about the siege, you can make your own decisions." ”

Bai Heng agreed, left the big tent, and began to drive out the whole team, 150,000 people were divided into three teams, and ran in three directions to Zichang County.

Xing Jiamu did not wait for news in the big tent, but also followed the brigade towards Zichang County, because 20,000 soldiers were divided to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, so this time Bai Heng attacked Zichang County's troops, only 130,000 people.

Although literally, there were 20,000 fewer people in this siege, but in fact, 20,000 people could not affect this war at all, because in terms of the area of Zichang County, if the city was attacked from the east and west directions at the same time, the army that met the enemy head-on would be 60,000 at most.

The reason why a city that can be attacked by 60,000 people should be sent to attack with 150,000 people, on the one hand, is because there are these soldiers in the Changzhi barracks, and on the other hand, Xing Jiamu wants to strengthen his momentum and want to give other rebel armies a wake-up call, so that they know that the imperial court will not let these rebel armies develop on their own.

After 80,000 people were left at the east gate, the remaining 50,000 people all went around from the north gate to the west gate, and set up a formation under the city gate, just waiting for an order, and they were about to start attacking the city.

Looking at the officers and soldiers under the city who couldn't see the end at a glance, Gao Biying's heart was bottomless at this time, she had never experienced this kind of scene, the last time she was in Dengzhou, although she also guarded the city, but the Haisha Gang was just a gang of rivers and lakes after all, they were okay to fight, and fighting was a layman at all.

But this time it was different, not only were there many people, but all of them were well-trained regular troops, and the two battles could not be the same at all.

Looking at the soldiers around her who were obviously a little lacking in confidence, Gao Biying said loudly to everyone: "Brothers, there is no need to be afraid now, we have been doomed to this fate since the day we embarked on this road, and now we can only have hope of living if we fight with them to the end, if anyone is cowardly at this time, then only death awaits him, and the brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, it's time to show your blood." ”

"Don't have pity on our enemies, and don't expect them to have mercy on us, it's a battle of life and death, in which only the victorious side is qualified to live, and the price of defeat is to pay with life."

"So in order to live, today, we also have to fight to the end!"

"Fight to the end, swear to live and die with the son!" At this time, in the sky above Zichang County, only this one voice was echoing.

The rebel army, which was still in low morale just now, was instantly inspired by Gao Biying's encouragement, and everyone was gearing up, ready to fight to the death with the officials and troops under the city.

Listening to the constant shouts from the city wall, Xing Jiamu said: "This Gao Biying is not simple, in just a few words, the feelings of these people have been mobilized, it seems that there will be a tough battle today." ”

He Yue said: "People in this era, in fact, don't ask for much, as long as they are well fed and warmly dressed, they will not get up to make trouble, the reason why they rebel is that they are forced by life!" ”

Xing Jiamu smiled and said: "Not to mention that people in this era don't ask for much, ordinary people in any era don't ask for much, okay, now is not the time to discuss this topic, let's concentrate on watching the play, and see how Bai Heng will deal with it next." ”

The shouting on the city wall, after lasting for half a pillar of incense, finally quieted down, Bai Heng looked at the deputy general beside him and said: "Thunder drum, call the formation, let them open the door to fight, if you dare not open the door, scold me, scold whatever is ugly, don't be polite to them." ”

The deputy general clamped the war horse under his crotch, and began to call the battle when he came to the front of the formation, and after Hu Jinquan in the city heard the call, he asked Gao Biying next to him if he wanted to fight.

Gao Biying smiled faintly and said, "Do you still need to ask?" Of course, we don't have to fight, we have the city wall as a cover, and we have the advantage, why give up our advantages and fight with others with our shortcomings! ”

Hu Jinquan said: "Then we have been waiting here?" ”

Gao Biying said: "They are not in a hurry to attack the city, what is the urgency of your defense of the city, let them shout, when they are tired, they will naturally start to attack the city!" ”

The lieutenant shouted under the city for more than half an hour, and scolded all kinds of ugly words, but there was still no movement at the city gate, and the people in the city had no intention of coming out to fight.

After returning to the team, after telling Bai Heng about the situation, Bai Heng said: "If you don't want to fight, start to persuade them to surrender, first shake their military hearts, this rabble just wants to eat enough, if we can give them a way to live and give them food, I think even if they don't surrender now, when they defend the city for a while, they will be affected." ”

Urging the horse to come to the city again, this time it was not dirty at the exit, but began, Xiao Zhi began to persuade with reason and emotion, at first, the people in the city were still the same as just now, as if they didn't hear what the people in the city were saying, but then gradually heard clearly, some people in the city began to waver, if they can really eat enough, who is willing to play with their lives!

Seeing that the opposite side had replaced the call for surrender with persuasion, and that some people in the city had already begun to discuss, Hu Jinquan hurriedly said to Gao Biying: "I can't go on like this, if I let them toss for a while, I'm afraid that our side of the army will be unstable!" ”

Gao Biying said: "It doesn't matter, this is the stage they must go through, if this kind of persuasion can make them give up resistance, then they don't deserve to stay in my team." ”

Hu Jinquan said: "But if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that there will be deserters!" ”

Gao Biying said: "No, as long as they start to attack the city after a while, after revealing their true faces, there will be no deserter, believe me, I know this better than you." ”
