Just when the battle of Ulju City was going on, and there was a shout of killing inside and outside, the Ulzhou Prefecture Ya was also busy, and the big and small servants walked around. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
From the huge cannon sound at the south gate before a few sticks of incense, more than two sticks of incense have passed until now, but the shouting and killing outside the city has intensified.
Not only the Nanjing Immortal Gate, but also the East and West Gate also sounded a continuous cannon sound, and then the sound of shouting and killing in the sky and the sound of fire guns were connected, which made Wang Zhan and the others thrilled.
These clerks, who had never experienced such a battle, all turned pale, and thought to themselves: This battle is really not a human job, and if you don't die there by accident, everything will be over.
Whenever the huge roar of the Shenwei General's cannon came, the bodies of everyone in the hall almost collectively trembled, and the shouting and killing sound in front of them made them pale, and they could only pin their hopes on Xiao Yi when they were worried about their lives and property.
"Lord Official, quickly gather the people to help Lord Cheng defend the city, don't let the rogue break the city!" Wang Zhan suddenly remembered something, and waved to He Dongwen, who was standing on the side.
He Dongwen was only focused on the shouting and killing outside the city, Wang Zhan's sudden summoning surprised him, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Zhizhou, this..."
Wang Zhan was already very anxious, and when he saw He Dongwen's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he was even more anxious, and said: "If you have anything to say, don't hesitate at this juncture!" ”
He Dongwen replied and said, "I'm afraid that the people under the subordinates of the lower officials will only cause chaos if they go." ”
"Yes, what's the use of these people going." Wang Zhan sat on the chair dejectedly, his own people's strong combat effectiveness was not even as good as the chaotic soldiers who were exterminated by Xiao Yi, at this time, Shangcheng could only add chaos to Xiao Yi, and now he only hoped that Xiao Yi and his Yongan army could turn the tide.
Wang Zhan said: "Then, then you quickly mobilize the people to take care of the state government." ”
This time, He Dongwen did not hesitate, and went out to mobilize the people in a hurry.
When Minzhuang arrived, Wang Zhan calmed down a little, he looked at the Minzhuang in front of him, only from the perspective of momentum, they were not as brave as Xiao Yi's recruitment, let alone compared with Xiao Yi's Yongan Army soldiers.
As the minutes passed, the shouting and gunfire outside did not decrease, but became more and more intense, until more than an hour passed, and the sound of 'kicking' came into the state office.
Wang Zhan and the others looked at it, only to see that it was a Yong'an army who did not collect at night, and this night did not collect from the direction of the east gate, shouting while running: "Withdraw, Liukou withdraw!" ”
Wang Zhan's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the same acquaintance Zheng Wenju, the official Zhou Youcheng, and the official He Dongwen on the side, and their bodies were also trembling.
"Xiao Yi guarded?"
In the middle of his words, another horse galloped past Simon, and he also shouted: "The rogues have withdrawn, the rogues have fled, they have fled!" ”
Wang Zhan still couldn't believe it, he urged Zheng Wenju to go out of the city to check, at this time the whole city was already under martial law, and the shouting and killing outside the city was still there, Zheng Wenju was already scared and weak, where did he have the courage to walk out of the palace.
At this moment, the cannon sound of the south gate was heard, and the cheers that followed shook the entire Ulju City, and the soldiers of the Yongan Army saw with their own eyes that the Liukou ran like a child without a father and mother, and fled in all directions.
Listening to this call, Wang Zhan and the others couldn't stand anymore, and slumped to the seat, it seems that Xiao Yi repelled the Liukou is true, and tens of thousands of Liukou besieged Ulzhou in vain!
……
In the afternoon of the next day, there was a brief lull inside and outside Ulzhou, and the Liukou had not attacked again for more than half a day, and Xiao Yi was also happy.
Yesterday there was definite news, the rogue was infighting, Wang Zishun commanded the homeless people to besiege the newly annexed bandits, the bandits were alone, and they were quickly eliminated, those who surrendered surrendered, and those who died in battle.
After paying a huge price, Wang Zishun finally let these thieves with their own ghosts obey him on the surface, and in terms of performance, it was Xiao Yi who cowered and missed the opportunity to cause Wang Zishun to successfully eliminate the bandits and collect the rout.
But Xiao Yi knew that if he went out of the city to pick up a bargain at that time, the bandits were very likely to immediately close the siege, and the Yongan Army was still at a disadvantage.
The current prince still has as many as 10,000 people on hand, and if he counts all the people, there are only more than 4,000 people, and Xiao can't take this risk.
The best way to do this was to defend the city, and it took Wang Zishun a day to gather the rout, and after these two days, Xiao also believed that their stock was running out.
The biggest problem and weakness of the peasant army was that it did not have sufficient logistics, and the prince could at first loot the small villages of Tunpu to obtain supplies, but when he reached the territory of Weizhou.
Xiao Yijian cleared the wilderness, moved all the people from the scattered villages into the surrounding forts, and did not leave them a grain of rice, and the peasant army would soon be unable to continue, and then either withdraw from the siege or attack Ulzhou City to the death, and then the real battle would start!
In the camp of Prince Shun outside the city, Prince Shun had a gloomy face.
"Commander, there have been people in each battalion making trouble recently, have they all been killed? We, we only have enough food and rice for two days at most! An old battalion soldier with anxiety written on his face reported to the prince.
The prince waved his hand and signaled that it was not necessary.
He naturally knew that he originally thought that Ulju City was no different from other cities, and he only needed to rush to decide, but he didn't expect that the artillery of the Ming army in Ulju City was so sharp, and it had been two days, and there was still no chaos in the city.
At this time, many people already know the news of the lack of food and rice, and they can only appease them, and if they are all disposed of, it is likely to cause these homeless dogs to jump off the wall!
He couldn't help but wonder, if other cities had such artillery, and the same army and civilians were united, would he still be as invincible as before?
He asked in a deep voice, "Is Dong Kui back?" ”
"Grand Commander!" While he was talking, a person stepped into the tent.
Wang Zishun got up in surprise and asked, "How?" ”
Dong Kui's originally excited face was a little frustrated immediately after hearing this, and he sighed: "This Xiao Yi actually moved all the villagers within a radius of dozens of miles into Dabao, and found nothing!" ”
Wang Zishun said angrily: "This thief is so insidious!" ”
Everyone in the account suddenly sighed, but no one dared to show it in front of Wang Zishun, and the atmosphere suddenly became depressed.
Wang Zishun pondered for a long time, but still said: "Send all the rice and grain to the old camp, and give the rest to the homeless, within two days, it is necessary to attack Ulzhou, whoever kills Xiao Yi, I will let him be on an equal footing with me!" ”
Sitting on an equal footing with himself, it can be seen how determined Wang Zishun has been, under the so-called heavy reward, there will be brave men, and the big and small leaders in the tent got up one after another, shouting with red eyes and obeying orders.
……
On the evening of the same day, Xiao Yi was processing the documents in the official hall, and these daylights were busy preparing for war and defending the city, and the rest of the documents in the forts had already piled up, and it would be impossible to deal with them anymore.
was busy working, Xiaoxiu's slender hand suddenly touched his shoulder, Xiao Yi was startled, reflexively held Xiaoxiu's hand, felt the softness from his hand, and suddenly remembered something.
Then he frowned and said, "Xiu'er, I didn't tell you, don't bother me when I deal with government affairs." ”
Xiao Xiusheng rubbed her hands painfully, but she didn't dare to be angry at Xiao Yi, she just looked at Xiao Yi with her eyes that were about to drip water.
She said, "My lord, a woman has come looking for you. ”
"Women?"
Xiao Yi wondered in his heart, and couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, who could the woman who came to find him at this time be, could it be Sister E?
He pretended to ignore it, didn't raise his head, just waved his hand and said, "Let her in." ”
