Outside the south gate of the eldest son city, four columns of cavalry were leaving the city in an orderly manner. ，

On the city tower, Pang Zhen, Zangba, and Sun Guan stood side by side, silently watching the team out of the city below.

Yuan Shaowei was missing one of the three, and he was hoping that the Sizhou army would leave the city, but there was no Yuan army outside the south city gate.

After a long time, Pang Zhen spoke: "I heard that Zhang Weilie left the city, and Yuan Shao will attack the city with all his strength from now on!" ”

Before the party attacked and defended, Yuan and Deng both families still had their hands, and then the battle situation should be a change, Zang Basun agreed with Pang Zhen's words, Zang Ba said: "Yuan Shao's whole army will attack, we will only defend for a few days, and it is not expected to be difficult!" ”

Sun Guan still had an injury on his arm, and took a light breath at this time: "Yuan Cao and Liangzhou are in turmoil, since a certain vote for Deng Gong, when his brother died in battle, there is no such difficulty as today, but the state affairs are like this, as a general, he is favored by the Lord, and he only sacrifices his life for it!" ”

For the next hard battle, Zang Ba was much more optimistic than Sun Guan, hearing him say this, he suddenly remembered Sun Kang Wu Dun and others who were also from Taishan thieves, and wanted to fill in this eldest son city I don't know how many close soldiers to fill in, I couldn't help but sigh, and comforted for a long time: "Pang Gong Zhongtai don't worry, although my armed guard army is new, and there is little war, but the eldest son has gradually sharpened to defend the city, and the military spirit can also be used, and it is worthy of a battle!" And still has the help of Zhongtai Lingguo Yi School, according to which the eldest son Jiancheng, why worry? ”

Zang Ba Yuxiong, Sun Guan Pang Zhen also nodded in unison not to be outdone.

Sun Guan continued: "A certain person will work hard to defend this city, so that Yuan Benchu will look at the heroes of my soldiers, know the difficulties of our state, and repay the righteousness entrusted by Zhang Weilie, the grace of the lord's public knowledge!" ”

Today, Pang Zhen no longer had the panic he had a few days ago, and then spoke: "The generals are in front of you. I don't dare to slack off! The remnants of Montenegro in the city. Now it has been rectified. There are still more than 20,000 strong and strong available; Although the rest of the old and weak can't defend the city, they can be sent with water and stones, food and arrows! Huguan dogs, you can also send thousands of horsemen to harass the enemy! ”

Zang Ba's head: "If you can get everyone to die, although Yuan Shaojun is numerous, how can he join the party?" ”

Pang Zhen smiled and responded: "My husband should not give it his all in this troubled world?" ”

On this day, all the horses of the Weilie Army, except for Sun Guan Guoyi, left the city and headed south under the leadership of Zhang Liao. Yuan Shao reported the great joy, so that he could chase after him slightly, and then personally led the whole army to storm the eldest son city.

The bloody and fierce battle of the eldest son officially began on the day Zhang Liao left the city.

――

"Ahh

An old soldier with an arrow stick on his shoulder tried his best to pour the boiling water from the basin, so hot that the two rebels who climbed the city wall on the ladder screamed so hard that they could not bear it and fell down.

Four or five disheveled civilians poked their heads out and overturned the ladder with their forks, but one of them was unfortunate enough to be nailed to the face by a flying arrow as he leaned out. Randomly falling, wailing and rolling and struggling on the wall.

The current ladder is toppled down. There was a few breaths of respite here, and looking at the people rolling on the ground, the old messenger shouted to the left and right: "Hold down! ”

Two people who reacted rushed forward and held down the body of their companion rolling on the ground, and the old messenger leaned over and moved the head of the injured to check the injury.

After just one glance, the officer sighed softly, and let go of his hand, and everyone else could see that the arrow had been driven into the skull from the man's left eye socket, and that it was impossible for him to live again.

The old messenger got up, and the two men who held down the wounded also let go of their hands, but the man no longer had the strength to roll, and his feet kicked on the ground several times, and finally he died.

On the corridor not far from here, several women with quick hands and feet only cared about adding firewood to the big ding, burning the fire vigorously, and constantly adding water to the ding, which was ready for the men to use at any time, and no one looked at the newly deceased here.

The old officer no longer cared about the dead, and turned around to look down the city, but there was no new ladder near the left. He spat hard and scolded, "Phew! Ma Mengqi! ”

This is Guzang City, Wuwei County, Liangzhou, and fierce offensive and defensive battles are also being carried out above and below the city wall.

Since Sanfu Taishou sent the people into Ji County to help defend the city, Ma Chao Han Sui couldn't take it for a while, so he plundered all over the place, in addition to Wudu, Hanyang settled Longxi Wuwei, and several counties in Liangzhou that belonged to Deng Ji were in a hurry, and the most difficult thing was Wuwei County, which Ma had been operating for more than ten years.

There are a total of thirteen counties in Wuwei County, Ma Chao and Han Sui are in high morale, and Ma's old department responds, and within half a month, they have fallen into eleven counties in a row.

Deng Ji appointed the Guzang County Commander is also the old Ma family, a month ago Ma Chaochao Warrior County, also wanted to follow the incident, fortunately someone informed, Yang Fu first took the lead, the Guzang County Order and other removal in one fell swoop, the city had to be preserved.

When Ma Chao's rebels attacked Xianmei County, they suffered slightly greater losses, and after entering the city, they slaughtered the old and young in Hecheng; The rest of the counties were also plundered by the rebels, and they were forced into the army. Such atrocities frightened the people, and the conversation changed, and a large number of refugees fled, and many fled to the county magistrate's office.

When Ma Chao personally led the rebels to the city, there were no available soldiers in Guzang City, so Yang Fu had to serve as the backbone and encourage the people to defend the city.

After so many years of turmoil, now the local people in Liangzhou have not moved to Jingzhou Nanyang people, and most of the people who fled to Guzang are Nanyang people, the rebels are brutal, and the people are afraid of them like tigers.

The city wall of Guzang is higher than that of the small county, and the internal should be lost, Ma Chao does not want the soldiers and horses to be damaged too much, and Yang Fu has to barely resist it.

It's just that Ma Chao and the others rebelled suddenly, the previous preparations were insufficient, there were too many refugees pouring into Guzang, the food consumption was huge, the stocks were not enough, the rebels were all over Liangzhou, and there was no food to help in the left and near, and it seemed that the food would be exhausted in five or six days.

Since three days ago, the food distributed by the government to the people has been mixed with a lot of chaff, grass roots, tree bark, etc.

Since the day of the rebellion of Ma Chao and others, I heard that my cousin Jiang Xu died under the rule of chaos, and the counties fell one by one, and Guzang was besieged, and there was a gradual shortage of food in the city.

But when the day comes when the food is really exhausted, it will be difficult for the city to hold on.

Yang Fu was even thinking about not using the corpses of the war dead when there was a shortage of food.

Fortunately, the people at the bottom do not know the difficulties of that Yang Taishou at present, and their attention is all on the city wall.

Seeing that this wave of offensive was gradually stopping, the old messenger was ready to deal with the next attack of the rebels, and said to the people around him: "Treat the wounded quickly!" The dead carry it down! ”

These retired old soldiers in the army are the Dinghai Shenzhu among the people, and the people are ready to act according to the order, but as soon as he finished speaking, a rapid gong suddenly sounded in the rebel camp outside the city, and then there was also a gong sound outside several city gates in the distance.

What's going on? The old officer swished to his feet, hurried to the edge of the city wall, and stretched out his head to look out.

Hearing the sound of the gong, the officers under the city wall, who were still carelessly watching their subordinates pack up the siege equipment, all jumped like a burning buttocks, and hurriedly shouted at their subordinates to assemble in the Chinese army.

"Huh?"

There must have been a change, and the old officer was a little surprised, but he didn't know for a while whether the change was a good thing or a bad thing for Gu Zang and himself.

After a while, the rebels camped in the distance moved over and converged with the Chinese army, but many people in the Chinese army began to pack up supplies, and the old errand soldier woke up like a dream: "The rebels want to retreat!" Wait and be on guard, wait for someone to tell you to go too much! ”

The old messenger even ran and jumped, and the people who remained on the city wall looked at each other, and they all didn't believe the old officer's judgment.

Although the rebels couldn't attack this Gu Zang for a while, how could they easily retreat?

It didn't take long for the old messenger to lead the Taishou Yang Fu and several scribes back to the city wall.

Yang Fu squinted his eyes and looked down at the city for a while, the rebels were assembled in a hurry, but the grain and grass had been loaded onto the vehicles, and some people were still dismantling the camp tents, which clearly looked like they were about to retreat.

Fang is still besieging the city, and he is about to retreat at this time, so urgent, what is the matter?

It's just that the rebels can retreat, and the pressure of the past few months can finally be relieved.

Yang Fu no longer looked calm as before, and his voice trembled: "Sure enough!" Really! But why is that? ”

The old officer was also puzzled: "Could it be that the reinforcements from our state have arrived?" ”

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao teamed up to commit Sizhou, and Yang Fu in the county government actually didn't have much hope for Deng Ji to send an army to help, but if it weren't for the reinforcements coming here, how could Ma Chao easily let go of Guzangcheng, the seat of Wuwei County, his hometown?

If you can't be careful, Ma Chao will not be considered a martial artist.

Seeing that Yang Fu's face was also half hopeful and half doubtful, the old messenger said tentatively: "Maybe you can send someone out of the city to find out the truth?" ”

Yang Fu nodded, turned around and asked left and right: "Who wants to go out of the city to explore?" ”

There were many traitors outside the city, and it was very dangerous to go out of the city at this time, and before anyone else could speak, the old messenger replied first: "The villain is willing to go!" ”

I can't wait to know the news of the outside world immediately, Yang Fu was overjoyed when he heard this, but the four doors have been sealed, and he is not allowed to enter and exit for a while, so he is anxious to open a gap in the north gate where there are few rebels, so that the old messenger can ride out of the city alone.

When the old messenger disappeared into the vast wilderness, the rebels outside the city finally packed up and began to retreat.

It was just a guess before, but now it can be determined, and suddenly, the city from the Taishou to the people, cheering like clouds.

It's just that after cheering twice, many people began to cry again.

Laughter and tears are a mixture of joy and sorrow.

Inside and outside the city, by the avenue and river, there are still white bones everywhere on the land of Wuwei.

No matter how much the price was paid, most of the haze in the sky finally dissipated, and after a long time, the excited Yang Fu gradually returned to normal, ordered to appease the people's emotions, counted the population and materials in the city, and urgently sent people to the Anding Tai Guard to borrow food for emergency.

Two days later, the dusty old messenger returned and told Yang Fu: "The thousands of reinforcements sent by Sizhou have crossed the river from Yongshi County three days ago!" ”

"Thousands of rides?" After Han Sui Ma Chao's uprising, he coerced refugees everywhere, and his power soared, and the rebels in various counties were afraid that there would be no **10,000 people, and thousands of cavalry soldiers came to help, Yang Fu was very uneasy, and asked: "Who leads the troops?" ”

Hearing this question, the old messenger had a strange face, and he didn't know whether he was funny or angry, so he replied after a while: "The main general's flag is 'General Han Zhengxi'!" ”

"General Han Zhengxi?" There was no one under Deng Ji to hold this position, Yang Fu couldn't react for a while, and it took a while to figure it out: "Ma Teng Ma Shoucheng? ”

The old officer nodded: "Yes! Zheng Ma Meng started at home A Weng also! (To be continued......)
