Chapter 3 Guarding the Lonely City
Liangzhou City has been besieged for more than half a month, and the siege is the 50,000 Huaiyang army of Shen Jing, a major general of Beiyu. After the defeat of the siege on the first day, he no longer attacked, but cut off the grain route of Liangzhou, and shot a round of crossbow arrows at noon every morning, and attacked the city in a small area at night. In this way, the energy of the defenders of Liangzhou was consumed.
The food was enough to last three or two months, but Shen Jing and Wen knew that the main force of Da Chu was pinned down by Beiyu, and it was impossible to divide troops to save it, and without Yang Wantang's mediation, there would be no reinforcements in Liangzhou.
What's more, it is clear that Yang Wantang's idea will make Liangzhou even more catastrophic.
Liangzhou originally belonged to the Wei country, Wei was a small country, and before Bei Yu made up his mind to attack Chu in the south, he first destroyed Wei with the power of thunder. Before the war began, Shen Jing drove straight into the Jade Mountain, hoarded heavy troops, separated Liangzhou into an isolated island, and cut off Wenzong's support for the royal capital.
After the destruction of the capital of King Wei, Shen Jing originally planned to capture Liangzhou in five days, but he did not expect that Liangzhou City was like an iron wall under the deployment of Wen Zong.
Since then, Liangzhou has recognized Wen Zong as the master. With General Wen here, Liangzhou is worry-free.
When Wen decided to abandon Yang Wantang's path, he knew that the news could not be concealed for too long.
She ordered Wenliang and the rest of the informed commanders to fortify the city, hoard grain and grass, and prepare to hold on. At the same time, he sent secret guards to Beiyu to inquire about their movements and the news of his younger brother.
Wen knew in his heart that his younger brother might be more than lucky, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope. However, there has been no news so far.
Although the commanders of the Liangzhou army were loyal to Wen Zong, they actually did not believe in this pampered eldest lady.
And Wen has been by his father's side since he was a child, thinking that he knows some fur, and he will know that it is difficult everywhere when he does it. Fortunately, Wenliang was in charge, so there was no chaos.
However, Beiyu came even faster than Wen had imagined, and arrived at the city of Liangzhou on the tenth day, this time with the news that Wen Zong was dead.
The Huaiyang soldiers went to the city every day, shouting over and over again, "Wenzong is dead, Liangzhou is descending". Only then did the people of the city know that General Wen, whom they relied on, had already died of illness.
In order to prevent chaos in Liangzhou, the generals came out with Wen Gu, saying that the descendants of Wenzong were here, and the Liangzhou army would follow her to defend Liangzhou and never let the enemy army step into half of the city gate.
The people dispersed, but their hearts were not as settled as they had been before.
How can a young girl defend this city?
The lonely city of Liangzhou is a dead end.
Just after noon, there were no pedestrians on the streets, and the city was full of slaughter, like a still painting. At this time, there are a few ink stains in the painting that are speeding north from the General's Mansion in the south of the city.
The old clothes hunted in the cold wind: "What does Shen Jing want to do?" ”
Wen Liang said: "This person became famous at a young age, with a perverse personality, Beiyu has mixed reviews for him, and he is happy to fight, he drove three thousand civilians to take the lead, and no one survived." In the attack on Yushan, the Huaiyang army suffered heavy casualties, but he entered the city but did not kill a single person. It is hard to speculate on what you do. It's just that he never hides behind people before the battle, and he must be a pioneer in every battle. ”
Shu nodded his head: "If there is no discipline, it is difficult to deal with." ”
Wen Liang's face was worried: "Although the Huaiyang Army comes to call the battle every day, Shen Jing just stands in front of the formation and never makes a sound, but this time he wants to see the eldest lady, I don't know what the plan is." Still be careful. ”
Shen Jing, the most vicious killing god in the mouths of the subjects of the country, is the capital of the country, Shen Jing used the lives of 100,000 defenders and people to pave a bloody road for himself to become famous all over the world.
Such a character personally called the battle, but there was no cowardice in his heart, and those who died once held the heart to die again, there is nothing to be afraid of in this world.
Ascending the city tower, at a glance, there are countless silver square formations under the sky, and the killing aura makes the beasts retreat.
Seeing someone ascending the city, Shen Jing rode first in the formation, and then the whole army marched together, the distance was close enough that the two could just see each other's faces, and the sound of marching suddenly converged, and the world fell silent.
Shen Jingyang, who was in silver armor, raised the spear in his hand: "Women guarding the city gate, amazing!" ”
Shen Jing was born cleaner than he imagined, at the age of about twenty, he would never associate him with the word God Killer when he saw him in a normal place.
Hui said in a loud voice: "General boy, don't let it go." ”
Shen Jing sat firmly on the horse and raised his head: "Miss Wen, you don't have reinforcements, if you go on like this, waiting for the food and grass to run out is nothing more than a fight to the death." And we are 50,000 people gathered here, drinking wine and eating meat, and the consumption is several times that of you. You will definitely not be able to hold Liangzhou City, and as far as I am concerned, this battle is not happy and consumes money, so why should we embarrass each other? ”
Wen Gu said: "The unrighteous teacher of Beiyu Xing committed my Liangzhou, but said that I was embarrassed with you? If General Shen's face is used to build the city wall, my Liangzhou will have no worries. ”
Shen Jing was not annoyed, and continued: "Your Liangzhou army's dead brain can't be reasoned, so I'll come to do you a favor." Let's make an agreement, how about it, it's called the Liangzhou Covenant? ”
Wen Gu looked at him coldly, but Shen Jing said more and more excitedly: "If you go out of the city to fight today, we will enter Liangzhou, and no one will be killed." From tomorrow, the city will be broken one day later, and after entering the city, I will kill one percent of the people of Liangzhou. When the ten days are full, there will not be a single living person left in Liangzhou City. ”
After Shen Jing finished speaking, he raised his head and stared at Wen Gu: "What?" ”
Shu's heart shook, but his tone remained firm: "What if you can't enter the city?" ”
Shen Jing smiled: "Miss Wen didn't hear the point I just said. I said we drank wine and ate meat outside the city! You have less food, and our Huaiyang army has more food, so it is such a good errand to besiege the city, and it is not a big deal to besiege it for two more months. When the time comes, you will starve to death, and we will be able to enter the city. As soon as the word is spoken, I, Shen Jing, never regret it. Miss Wen, think about it. ”
After Shen Jing finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the formation, just walked two steps and came back, glancing at the soldiers on the city wall of Liangzhou: "Forget, if I say this, you will definitely think that I have shamelessly shaken your military heart and want you to open the city and surrender." I'm going to explain it for myself. Liangzhou Army, including you, no matter which day the city is broken, I will not let any of them live. ”
After Shen Jing finished speaking, he winked at Wen Gu before going back.
Hui turned around, his expression became solemn, several commanders surrounded him, and everyone heard what Shen Jing said clearly.
The Liangzhou army is a soldier trained by Wen Zong, and it will only fight to the death, not to surrender, not to mention that the knives of Beiyu, especially the Huaiyang army, are almost stained with the blood of the relatives and friends of the Liangzhou soldiers.
The reason why it has been held so far is to wait for a variable, while Beiyu attacked Liangzhou, he also started a war with Chu on the eastern front, once the war against Chu was tight, and the Huaiyang army could not capture Liangzhou for a long time, it would be transferred to support the eastern front.
Passive, there is little hope, but it can only be so.
Although there is no possibility of victory, but for the sake of the people of Liangzhou behind him, he still has to fight to the death.
Shen Jing should naturally know the situation of the Liangzhou army, and the best action for him is to stand still. But today's words, he ignited the anger of the Liangzhou army, cut off the way back, and eliminated his worries, if there is a war at this time, the morale of the Liangzhou army will inevitably be at its peak.
Wen Gu simply led everyone to find a tea house under the North City Gate as a temporary camp, and the commanders were indignant and wanted to fight the Huaiyang Army to the death.
Wen Liang walked quickly to Wen Gu's side and conveyed the news brought by the secret guards: "Shen Jing deliberately left an opening and let a few of our secret guards in Beiyu come in. Beiyu went south and met with little decent resistance, and the state of Chu had lost two counties. ”
The war situation in Chu is related to the fate of Liangzhou, and this news has undoubtedly extinguished everyone's only hope in the past few days.
Wen Liang paused and continued: "Yang Wantang captured Tongcheng and surrendered to Beiyu, and offered to flank us with Shen Jing, but Shen Jing refused. ”
Yang Wantang's actions were not surprising, but what surprised her was Shen Jing: "What does he want to do?" ”
"Shen Jing is young and arrogant, I'm afraid there is no plan for this move, it may just be ......" Wen Liang paused, his expression solemn, "Murderous." ”
As soon as these words came out, the generals were in an uproar and clamored for war. In the corner, a black-faced general nestled on a bench suddenly spoke.
"Yelling what? The kid is rampant, I'm going to kill him. ”
