Chapter 350: Heavy Rain

Zhen Ku was whipped three times for the crime of frustrating the army's heart, which was frustrated and remembered for his meritorious service, and he was lenient.

Although Zhen Ku was physically tired, he was not bitter at all in his heart, just because the Taishan thief outside the city turned out to be a silver-like wax spearhead, and he couldn't just say it.

Half a month later, Zhen Ku asked his disciples to send food to the city as before, and then came back to tell him about the situation outside the city.

Although he was bedridden, he felt beautiful when he heard the news.

This rustic Taishan thief still expects to besiege Xiangguo City? He Zhen Ku was prepared for the grain, and he didn't know how much corn there was in this city?

Let's put it this way, it's no problem to eat like this for half a year.

As for half a year later, the court's reinforcements just won't come? Can the Tarzan thieves under the city withstand half a year's consumption?

In this way, Zhen Ku no longer had any worries in his heart, and returned to his old happiness as usual.

The city is besieged, and the days are by.

But alas, the good days ended after this month.

Who didn't expect that there would be a stone cart outside the city, seeing that the city of Xiangguo was not protected under the continuous bombardment outside the city, Zhen Ku finally saw Frustration in the retreating crowd.

Standing on the wall of his house, Zhen Ku said to the frustrated man in a trance:

"General Fu, what's wrong with this city?"

Fu Hong was still looking for a place to rest, so sleepy, he heard someone call him, and when he saw that it was the unlucky guy who had been coaxed in the city by him before, he felt a little embarrassed, and said:

"Young, it turned out to be Zhen Gong. This city is so good that you don't need to worry."

As he said this, a stone bullet smashed a hundred steps away from the two of them talking, directly smashing the family's mansion.

This scene made what Fu Hong just said a joke, and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

On the wall of the house, I don't know what to think, Zhen Ku suddenly said something like this:

"General Fu, you'd better find a place to take refuge, this stone bullet is terrifying."

The frustration below smiled contemptuously and said:

"This stone bullet hits a man who is greedy for life and afraid of death, how can it hurt me in the slightest."

As soon as the words fell, another stone bullet smashed directly into Fu Hong's ten steps away, and then a fist-sized fragment scattered, cutting half of Fu Hong's head open, and blood was dripping on the ground.

Zhen Ku was frightened, and the big living person who was still talking to him just now turned into pieces in front of his eyes, and his blood collapsed to the ground.

At this moment, he could no longer stand hard, and directly stood on the ground, wailing:

"I really didn't want you to die."

But it was useless, and his disciples all watched in silence, at a loss.

Frustration is dead.

When the frustrated professor who was recuperating in the city heard the news, the decoction in his hand slipped to the ground.

Frustrated professor finally fell ill because of fatigue, at this time his face was yellow and thin, but his eyes were still bright, but today the light in his eyes was dimmed.

Frustration was brought from within the clan by his willful nature. And now that this person died in the city first, how did he explain to his people, and Fu Zhu originally wanted to leave his son alone with him, but Fu Hong died.

"How did Frustration die?"

At this time, he leaned on the couch and asked his general, Ding Wu, who was also the commander of the Red Head Army.

Ding Wu looked sad and replied:

"He was killed by a stone-crawler outside the city. According to Na Zhen's bitter words, after Ah Hong left the city, he had a few words with him, and then he was hit with a stone and died on the spot."

Frustrated to hold back his grief and digest it with his eyes closed.

Then he suddenly said to Ding Wu:

"Send that bitterness to the city. If it weren't for talking to this person, Ah Hong wouldn't have died."

Ding Wu nodded, and then waited for the next step.

Frustrated, he asked:

"What happened to Li Ding, Jin Zhun, and Zhao Rong in the city."

Ding Wu carefully worded:

"The three generals have had a few meetings recently, but the last general hasn't found out what they said."

Although Ding Wu said so, he also knew that he was here

It's not a good thing for the three generals to meet in private.

It's just that this matter is more serious, and he doesn't dare to make a decision, so he can only tell Fu Yu and listen to his arrangement.

After thinking about it for a long time, the room was very quiet, so quiet that only Ding Wu's own breathing sounded. After a long time, Ding Wu heard the order of Fu Zhi:

"You go down first, and do what you have arranged. Then call General Su Yusu."

Ding Wugong bowed and said:

"Oh"

When Zhao sent the order of Ding Wu, the general of Yin Kai, to Zhen Ku, and ordered him to take all his subordinates to the city immediately.

Zhen was stunned.

He didn't expect that he would finally be on it, although he was afraid to go to the city, but Zhen Ku didn't choose. Looking at the armor soldiers eyeing him below, Zhen Ku believed that as long as he dared to say a word, he would be able to kill himself and the others.

Zhen Ku secretly scolded this group of rough embryos, it was really bad, unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

Didn't he use his wealth and decades of reputation as a guarantee to raise so much corn so quickly? Now, if you don't need him anymore, you will throw him around like a shoehorn.

But what can I do if I am a knife and I am a fish?

Although he had already resisted the gate before, it could not stop the tiger wolf below. In the end, in the growing impatience below, Zhen Ku cleaned up and opened the door honestly.

After that, he was escorted to the head of the city along with the thirty disciples in the wall.

As he walked ahead, he heard that the soldiers behind him were already robbing his family's savings. Zhen is bitter in his heart.

But when he really went to the city, he didn't know what suffering was.

At this time, the city was full of wails and falls, and there was a mark of blood on each foot. After five or six days of uninterrupted attacks, the arrows shot from the high slope on the opposite side were missed, and the boulders thrown from a distance could be said to have no life at all.

Under such circumstances, Zhen Ku thought of death, and he planned to jump directly from the city and die directly.

But when he grabbed the head of the city and looked down, he gave up.

He comforted himself, since early death and late death are the same, why are you still in such a hurry? It's better to take a look at this great scenery first, and one day later will be better.

In this way, he began his first day of duty at the head of the city with thirty disciples.

In the final analysis, this Xiangguo City still gives Zhen Ku hope. The fortress, which was made entirely of masonry, was not so easy to breach. Even though the stone machine on the opposite side was constantly bombarding, the main body of the city was still intact.

Moreover, most of the casualties on the head of the city did not come from stone generators, but from a few dirt slopes not far away. It was built by an army of thieves, and there were constantly archers who were condescending to the city and lost to the city.

And the archers of the Han army in the city could only be beaten passively because of their insufficient range, so they suffered so heavy casualties.

But Zhen Ku is not making trouble when he goes south and north, and he also has some knowledge. He knew that this kind of dirt mountain was most afraid of heavy rain, and once it rained, it would collapse sooner or later.

And now in March, it is the rainy time in the northland, so as long as you survive, you will definitely be able to hold on.

So after Zhen worked hard until the next day, he thought of death again.

Only one day, at this time, six people had died. Two of them looked out curiously, and were sniped by the shooters on the opposite dirt slope.

Zhen Ku had long lost his previous rhetoric, and he brought the rest of the disciples to them and said to them:

"Children, it's my old Zhen who can't stand everyone. This time I'm probably going to die here. But don't worry, I'm the one who has a grudge against the frustrated. Later, if you find an opportunity, you will go down to the city and go to my house to hide. I have hidden more than ten gold under the big mulberry tree in that courtyard, so you can divide it together."

After speaking, Zhen Ku pressed the suicide note he had written earlier under his legs, and canceled his gold ring and threw it into his mouth.

Obviously, Zhen Ku wanted to commit suicide by swallowing gold.

But after three times in a row, Zhen vomited out bitterly and disgustingly.

Just when he was about to swallow for the fourth time, the apprentices on the side "finally" reacted, hugged Zhen Ku, and then threw away the gold ring, eliminating the chance for Zhen Ku to commit suicide.

The apprentices all swore to live and die with their masters, and in the end, Zhen bitterly hugged the disciples and cried bitterly before giving up the idea of suicide.

Ridiculous, pathetic, pathetic, lamentable.

On this day, Zhen Kuzhao took the rest of his disciples to guard the city, and now they, after several days of life and death, can already eat gracefully in the pool of corpses and blood.

Of course, it's not so much tenacity as numbness.

There was no sign of the torrential rain that Zhen was looking forward to, and there was not a single reinforcement outside the city.

What worries him even more is that the corn sent to the city is getting thinner and thinner, and it is obvious that there is a problem with the supply. But Zhen Ku, as an insider, knows the reserves in the city, and it stands to reason that this is only a month, and the materials should not be consumed so quickly.

Zhen Ku was in the city, and he didn't know that a major event had happened in the city in the past few days.

It turned out that on the second day when Zhen Ku went to the city, the prime minister finally attacked Li Ding, Jin Zhun, and Zhao Rong.

The person in charge of doing it was Su You, who had a grudge against Li Ding. When General Li Dingsan met privately again, Su You decisively led the bareheaded army in.

Among the three generals, Zhao Rong was the most clever, and when he came in outside, he jumped out of the window, stepped on the war horse and ran directly to his military camp.

Jin Zhun hid in the wall and tried to escape, but was killed by Yin Kai, the young general of the Red Army.

The most courageous is Li Ding. He has always been cautious, and even when they meet in private, he will wear armor inside, so when the bare-headed army enters, he will use his long knife to kill an attic, and then hold on to it.

Because they were worried about causing chaos in the city, Su You and the others did not order arson, and in the end they could only stalemate with Li Ding here.

Li Ding shouted from the attic:

"Where's the frustrated duke? I, Li Ding, were wronged, and Su was harmed by the villain."

His voice was sad and moving.

shouted several times in a row, and really shouted out the frustration.

Sitting on the chariot, his face was sickly red, he listened to Li Ding above shouting grievances, and finally asked:

"What are you guilty of? Privately, what else can you say?"

Upstairs was silent for a while, and then Li Dingdao was heard:

"Frustrated, I'm really wronged. Zhao Rong and I were confused by Jin Zhun and said that we wanted to make a profit on this supply. Because Jin Zhun was in charge of the supply of the city, he said that he could make a fortune with everyone, so he made an appointment with me. But Zhao Rong and I really didn't follow suit."

I didn't expect that the three generals would meet privately in order to make money, is this a big oolong?

Originally, he would not have been in such a hurry, but his illness and the tragic death of his clan stimulated him to decide to solve the matter in the most brutal way. Otherwise, he only needs to call the three generals into the mansion separately and interrogate them one by one.

After thinking about it, Fu Zhu decided to give Li Ding a chance. So he said upstairs:

"If you dare to abandon your weapon and go downstairs, I will spare your life."

Su You's frustrated words made Su You anxious, and he couldn't help but say:

"Prime Minister, this has already been killed like this, and you still want to keep your hands? If this Li Ding doesn't kill today, he will rebel later. Prime Minister, think again."

What Su You said made sense, so he decided that if Li Ding hesitated for a moment, this person would be resentful and kill him.

But I didn't expect this Li Ding to be a character, after hearing the words of Fu Zhu, he didn't hesitate for a moment with his bare hands, still naked, and walked on his knees to ask Fu Zhu for guilt.

In the end, he still thought that Li Ding was a talent and decided to let him go.

Li Ding was also obedient, and he persuaded Zhao Rong to surrender when he asked for his life, and then handed over all his clan soldiers to Fu Zhu, and Zhao Rong and Zhao Rong joined the Fu Zhu Hu army as soldiers.

He is both a hostage and a sign of loyalty.

In this way, the rebellion dissipated, and the supply of the city was restored. And these are unknown to the Han army in the city.

The Han army at the head of the city once again defeated the siege of the Taishan army.

This time, the Taishan army actually began to attack the city.

It turned out that after observing the battle for several days, Guan Yu () of the original camp suddenly realized that Xiangguo had no moat. So he planned to attack the city in the cave and give it a try.

In the past, if the city had a moat, there was no way to attack the city from the ground. Because even if you dig deep to the bottom of the river, the pressure of the water will collapse the tunnel.

But which of the important cities now has no moat? Therefore, siege is a very limited siege method and is generally not used. This is also the reason why Guan Yu didn't expect it at first.

But now Xiangguo only has a trench but no water, so Guan Yu asked Dian Wei to try.

Zhao Guo already had a large number of iron mines, and there were a large number of miners in the territory, so Dian Wei selected a group from the Zhao soldiers and began to dig the dirt road and prepare for the cave attack.

But this time the digging failed. Because the depth of the trench was not accurate, the dirt tunnel was dug directly on top of the trench. So when the absentees dug out, they found themselves in a trench under the city.

This time it was discovered by the Han army at the head of the city, and there was a rain of arrows, and the cave attack failed.

Because today's attack of the Taishan army was thwarted, a meal of pork was served on the head of the city.

Just as Zhen Ku and his apprentices were chewing pork in a corner, he suddenly heard a hustle and bustle in the city.

It's human nature to be curious.

So even if it is dangerous, many people, including Zhen Ku, still look down at the edge of the city.

Then they saw a scene that they would never forget.

I saw a brave warrior, with a banner with the word "aid" on his back, driving a jujube red horse, directly interspersed from the thief array under the city, stirring up a cloud of dust.

The Han soldiers in the city talked a lot, feeling what kind of warriors this was, daring to fight into the thief formation.

Soon, the warrior rushed to the bottom of the city, and in the face of the wide trench, the warrior jumped on his horse, and then turned over and landed under the city.

Amazing, magical.

Just when the city was still stunned, Zhen Ku had already reacted, and then scolded:

"What are you doing in a daze, pull it up."

Then a basket was drawn, and the warrior was pulled to the head of the city in the unwillingness of the Taishan army under the city.

As soon as the warrior landed, he clenched his fist at Zhen Ku:

"In Xia Changshan Liu Changle, thank you Haohan for helping."

Then the samurai was introduced into the city by the city officials.

At this moment, a thunderbolt sounded, and Zhen cried:

"Finally survived by my old Zhen, this rainstorm and reinforcements have come."

Whining.
