Chapter 44: Shameless
And Zhao Erhe also has an advantage, that is, he is very good at encouraging people, when he fled back to Pengzhou, he immediately gathered these subordinates, and told them that you people are all extremely evil, if you surrender the official army against the water, after verifying the evil things you did in Pengzhou and Bazhou and other places, you still can't run away from being stabbed, and may even be cut by a thousand knives, so there is no way out of surrender, the only chance for you bastards is to follow him Zhao Erhe to run to the black, Waiting for their boss Zhang Tong to transfer troops to relieve the siege will have a way to live.

After listening to Zhao Erhe's words, these guys also summed up their own total, what bad things they have done over the years, so they found that Zhao Erhe was right, even if they surrendered, they might be slaughtered by the government, so these people could only obey Zhao Erhe's orders, and swore to resist to the end according to Pengzhou City.
After killing the rebels who ambushed them, Huang Yan drove a large number of surrendered troops to the city of Pengzhou, and Huang Yan immediately ordered people to call Zhao Erhe to come out and surrender.
And Zhao Erhe personally climbed the city tower and shouted loudly to the loyal army outside the city: You are not going to be rampant, tell you to wait, the current emperor is immoral and incompetent, he is a usurper thief, he still has your traitorous minister with a high surname, perverse, this provokes the anger of the heavens, the world is now the virtuous people live there, so I was forced to rebel!
I advise you, the officers and soldiers, not to follow the current emperor anymore, it is best to simply join us, eating and drinking spicy food every day is better than giving life to the dog emperor!
Don't look at a small victory over us, but tell you, our general still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, you soldiers and horses, how can you be the opponent of our general, if you don't want to do it with Lao Tzu, it's best to hurry up and go back to where you came from! The previous things Lao Tzu didn't care about the villain, so he didn't care about you!
After Huang Yan heard this, he was angry, and let this guy say that they were in charge of the current matter, and they didn't scold the emperor, but they actually scolded Gao Huaiyuan's head.
So the angry Huang Yan immediately ordered, dragged more than a dozen leaders of the captured rebels outside the city gate, directly pressed them to the ground, and then pointed to the city head and shouted: Tell you, the thief surnamed Zhao listened! If you don't open the city and surrender again, these people will be the fate of you, and when we break through the city, we will definitely kill not one of you! Your surname is Zhao, but please don't die, we will capture you alive, you have to be cut with a thousand knives! Kill!
More than a dozen knife and axe men immediately swung their knives at the same time, and then looked at the leaders of the dozen or so rebels, even if the heads fell to the ground, a cavity of dirty blood marked the distance, and the headless corpses rolled to the ground.
The rebels in the city all felt a sudden chill on their necks, and suddenly they made a sound of inhaling cool air, and they couldn't help but be shocked.
Did the big guy see it? Don't think that you can survive by surrendering, Lao Tzu told you that surrender is still a death, it is better to resist them, kill one is enough, kill two to earn one! Hurry up and prepare bows and arrows, rolling wood and stones, they are not many in number, how can we withstand them? After Zhao Erhe saw this scene, he once again loudly agitated for these subordinates in the city.
So this gang of thieves really aroused their ferocity, turned their hearts sideways, and began to prepare up and down.
Huang Yan waited for a long time, and the thieves in the city did not have the slightest intention of surrendering, but erected wooden stands, bamboo stands, leather curtains, cloth curtains and other things that put arrows, and even the battlements were hung with wolf tooth slaps and other things, and the rolling wood was also erected on the city wall, and he made up his mind to fight to the death with the officials and soldiers.
! It's really stubborn to get home! I don't know whether I want to fight Lao Tzu to the death! Oh well! Let them also see how powerful Lao Tzu is, come to find someone who will do carpentry among the soldiers, and let the craftsmen of the army immediately start to build siege things on the spot, throwing carts, big shields, pointed wooden donkeys, and half-cut boats Lao Tzu wants! Let them see the power of our loyal army again! Huang Yandang ordered.
So the Song army was stationed outside the city of Pengzhou, and immediately under the supervision of the official army, they drove this group of soldiers to start cutting wood to build various siege equipment, and two days later, a batch of siege equipment was built and transported outside the city of Pengzhou.
Huang Yan followed Gao Huaiyuan on this Northern Expedition, but he learned a lot of siege methods and tasted the sweetness of artillery carts, so he also followed Gao Huaiyuan's habits, and this time he sent troops with the army to carry dozens of craftsmen, and built dozens of light return cannons and more than a dozen heavy return cannons for him and erected them outside the city wall.
After persuading him to surrender again to no avail, Huang Yan ordered the siege to begin, but he regretted the lives of his generals, and he did not use his own troops at all in the first wave of siege, but gathered those surrendered troops together, and threw them some swords, guns, shields, and half-boats and other things.
Tell you guys, you guys can be said to be guilty of unpunished, but Lao Tzu is not a murderer, so I will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions today! Now you all pick up these things on the ground and give them to Lao Tzu to attack Pengzhou City, if Pengzhou City is captured, Lao Tzu will spare your lives, and will give a heavy reward, if anyone does not go, stand up now, Lao Tzu will send you back to the west immediately! Do it or not, you can figure it out for yourself!
Come on, the archers came forward and showed me a good look at them! Huang Yan shouted at these soldiers.
Then he rode to the bottom of the city, rode outside the city, drew a line on the ground with his steel spear, turned back, pointed to the line, and shouted to the soldiers: "Wait until your eyes are not blind, do you see?" This line! It is the rule set by Lao Tzu for you, if someone refuses to contribute, dare to flee back before the gold, and those who cross this line will be killed immediately!
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the Zhongshun Army transferred these surrendered troops out of a wave and drove them to the other side of the line, and with the rumbling of war drums, those return cannons immediately began to fire, smashing all kinds of stones into the city of Pengzhou in front of them.
In the roar of the stones from the return cannon hitting the city wall, Huang Yan pointed at the group of soldiers and shouted: "Rush me!"
As soon as the soldiers saw that behind the buttocks were a large number of officers and soldiers' crossbowmen, who had already pointed at them with bows and crossbows, if they didn't rush forward, this fierce and vicious Song general would definitely order the arrows to be released, anyway, if they didn't go, they would die, and if they went, they might have a way to live, so these soldiers had to grab the guys in their hands, shouted to give themselves courage, and then carried the shield and half of the boat towards the city wall.
Because Pengzhou City is located in the hinterland of Sichuan, the threat of war here is not great, and the strategic location is not important, so it is basically not very important, and this small city after a hundred years of wind and rain, the city wall is not strong, and after a few big stones in some places, the city wall began to break and cracked.
Zhao Erhewan didn't expect that their rebels were shameless, and the Song officers and soldiers were even more shameless than them, and they would actually drive the troops to attack the city, these people were his subordinates a few days ago, but now they have become his enemies, this move can be said to be a loss to the family, but he has no choice, even if these people were his subordinates before, he can't be merciful because of this, otherwise, these people can still take his life.
Shoot the arrows! Shoot Lao Tzu with arrows and shoot them! Zhao Erhe personally went into battle, grabbed a bow and aimed at the group of surrendered troops under the city, and immediately launched it.
A fierce battle ensued, and the soldiers braved the arrows from the city, desperately with their shields and half boats, and rushed towards the city wall, and when they reached the moat, they threw the bags of sand and gravel on their shoulders into the river, paving the way to the wall.
Then they immediately turned around and ran, returned to the line that Huang Yan had drawn for them, picked up new sandbags, and continued to turn around and go back to fill the river.
Under the desperate resistance of the rebels in the city, many of the soldiers fell on the road of advance or retreat, but no one would sympathize with them at this time, and the Song army used the stones that were constantly thrown to support the actions of these soldiers, which also caused certain casualties to the rebels in the city, and also hit the morale of the rebels.
Don't look at some of these people who have been box soldiers before, and there are also guys who have been mountain kings, but they have basically never experienced attacking a city like this, and after fighting for a while, they have become a little soft, but Zhao Erhe has fully exerted his energy at this time, desperately urging these outlaws to resist.
The first batch of soldiers who were put into the battlefield paid a lot of casualties after a period of attack, they were not lightly tired, and they were scared to the point that their legs were weak, and some people really couldn't bear such pressure, and finally had a nervous breakdown and fled back desperately, but they had just crossed the line drawn by Huang Yan, and they were immediately shot in front of the line by a rain of arrows from the face.
If anyone dares to cross this line without permission, these people will be the fate of you, and they can't fill in the passage, even if you all die in the city, Lao Tzu will never let you wait for you to come back! Keep rushing for Lao Tzu!
In desperation, these soldiers had no choice but to continue to carry sandbags and rush towards the city, continuing to fill in the moat to pave the way for the subsequent attack.
After most of the day's desperate efforts, the first batch of troops finally filled in several passages of the moat after paying the price of nearly one-third of the casualties.
But then the second group of troops was driven over the line he had drawn, this time with a long ladder to carry them across the moat and begin the siege.
So in the sound of war drums, the second group of surrendered troops began to rush towards Pengzhou City again.
