After capturing Lixuan City, the Zhao army did not continue to stay in Lixuan, but drove straight into it and quickly surrounded the huge Guzang City.

Gu Zang's original name was Gai Zang, which was built by the Xiongnu, and the later sound was falsely called Gu Zang. The city is in the shape of a dragon, so it is also called "Wolong City".

The Western Han Dynasty built Guzang County, which was subordinate to Wuwei County. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the seat of Wuwei County.

Due to the mixed residence of Han, Qiang and Xiongnu ethnic groups, and the location of the main road of Chinese and Western transportation, it soon became a rich town in Hexi.

Cao Wei of the Three Kingdoms placed Liangzhou and took Guzang as the governing place, which was the beginning of Guzang's governance of Liangzhou Prefecture.

In the first year of Yongning in the Western Jin Dynasty (301), Zhang Liang was the assassin of Liangzhou, and the state was governed in Guzang. The Western Jin Dynasty died, that is, the former Liang capital, and four additional cities were built outside the original city, with a gathering of humanities and a prosperous economy.

"Roar, roar, roar! ......At this time, under the city of Guzang, there was a shout like a storm crashing on the shore and a tsunami.

Countless soldiers of the Zhao Army wearing green clothes and black armor stood there in an orderly manner, waving flags, crowded, spears and spears like a forest, and figures like a sea.

Zhao Jun set up more than a dozen standard phalanxes.

The chariots were in front, the shield array followed, and the iron horsemen roamed on both sides of the phalanx, the foot soldiers in the center, and with the wave of the banner, they moved in an orderly manner, as if they were a whole.

Zhang Jun held the battlement with one hand, stood in the corner of the tower, and couldn't help but change color when he saw this earth-shattering scene. Zhang Jun was followed by most of the generals in armor, as well as a few resourceful ministers.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, but seeing it with his own eyes, Zhang Jun had to sigh in his heart. Zhao Jun's military appearance is really majestic and majestic, with a momentum that sweeps the world, just like a dragon mixed in the world, and Shi Min, who can command this army, should be an even more terrifying guy.

Since Shi Min led the Zhao army to conquer the west, he has conquered everything and is invincible, I don't know how many Liang soldiers have been annihilated, how many cities and lands of Liang have been conquered, and now the Zhao army has hit the door of the house, and it has hit under his Zhang Jun's nose.

However, Gu Zang can now come up with very few troops, less than 40,000! How will this battle be fought?

Zhang Jun sighed and said, "Everyone, now that the Zhao army has come to the city, how are we going to deal with it?" ”

Hearing this, Suo Yao came out and said: "Your Majesty, Xie Ai, the governor of the capital, has already spoken in advance, if the two cities of Cangsong and Lixuan are lost, and the Zhao army is under the city of Guzang, the king and his subjects are united in their hearts and minds, and they swear to defend Guzang City to the death. ”

"The lonely king naturally wants to live and die with Guzang City!" Zhang Jun smashed his fist on the battlement, with a determined look on his face, and said, "Before leaving, Xie Shiyuan did leave a countermeasure, but I don't know if it is feasible?" ”

"It's worth a try." Suo Yao smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, do we have any other countermeasures besides?" ”

Zhang Jun's face sank: "King Gu has issued an edict and mobilized all the soldiers and civilians in the city, from King Gu to below, they must have money to pay, food to pay, and someone to send people!" Swear to live and die with Guzang City! The lonely king decided that from this moment on, he would choose a temporary place in Zhengyangmen to stay with the soldiers defending the city! ”

"Your Majesty, you must not!"

When Zhang Jun heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "You don't have to say it anymore." The Lone King has made up his mind! ”

Under the city.

Zhao Junzhongjun Daxu.

Shi Jianfei rode over: "General, why don't you give the order to attack the city?" ”

When Shi Min heard this, he glanced at the city wall of Guzang not far away, and said: "Guzang City is strong and strong, but I am afraid that it will backfire and cause too many casualties." ”

"General, how can there be no dead and wounded in a war and siege?" Shi Jian shook his head and said, "And our army has a return artillery, and the return cannon is a siege weapon, which is invincible." Although this Guzang City is much stronger than Lixuan City, if you return to the artillery to attack in turn, you may not be able to take Guzang City within a few days! ”

Shi Min said: "What I call strong is not the strength of the city wall, but the strength of the human heart!" Yiyang Gong, you see that at this time, in addition to the soldiers in bright armor, there are also young men dressed in cloth who are carrying stones and rolling wood, which shows that Zhang Jun has mobilized all the forces that can be used in Guzang City, and he is going to live and die with Guzang City. ”

"General, what's so fearful?" Shi Ning, the middle secretary on the side, said loudly, "These grass mustard pariahs are greedy for life and afraid of death. As long as the general you issue a military order, it is strictly forbidden to assist the puppet Liang army to defend the city. In this way, everyone in Guzang will be frightened, and they will not dare to fight for the tiger. ”

"Ridiculous!"

Shi Min scolded and said, "I'm afraid this move will backfire." Everyone in the world knows that my Zhao army is tyrannical, and the city will be slaughtered when the city is broken, and now after the three chapters of the general's covenant, it is not easy to make the people of Liangdi change their opinion of my Zhao army, and issue such a military order, is not the army and people of Guzang, and the army and people of Liangdi are pushed to the opposite side of us? ”

"It's the Admiral who was negligent."

Shi Jian asked again: "General, I don't know if you are attacking the city?" ”

Shi Min thought for a while, and finally said: "First send 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack the city, and test the end of Guzang City!" ”

"Yes!"

Shi Jian then took the order, lit up his troops and horses, and rushed to Guzang City with great fanfare.

This process and result were really as Shi Min expected.

Guzang City is a city wall made of bluestone bricks, which is extremely strong, and the boulders fired by the return cannon can only smash its city wall into potholes, crumbling, and cannot be broken.

Under the call of Zhang Jun, the Zhao army launched an offensive, just like stabbing a hornet's nest, those Zhao pawns who finally crossed the moat and set up a ladder to climb up were poked with a few blood holes on their bodies, and then they were unrecognizable and died miserably.

Zhang Jun obviously made full preparations, and Guzang's city fortifications, as well as things such as arrows, stones, and rolling logs, were very sufficient, and there was not much shortage of food and troops.

Unless the Zhao army can break through the wall of Guzang, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to try to take Guzang.

As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.

About an hour later, Shi Min saw that he couldn't shake Guzang City in the slightest, and he would inevitably suffer heavy casualties, so he waved his hand and Mingjin withdrew his troops.

When he returned to the camp, Shi Min received a message.

Subsequently, Shi Min brought Qin Mu to discuss the matter.

"Qin Mu, take a look, this is the news that just came from the dark department."

Shi Min handed the letter in his hand to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu browsed it and couldn't help frowning: "Shi Hu is going to give an order for us to withdraw our troops?" ”

"Not bad."

Shi Min nodded and said, "Not long ago, Shen Bian and Shi Bin made a statement to Shi Hu and maliciously slandered me. Shihu must be affected by it. Moreover, according to the information I received, the Jin Kingdom in the south has already sent a Northern Expedition! ”

"The Jin State took Sima Xun as the general, led an army of 50,000 people, conquered the Great Wall of our Zhao State, and set up a camp in the hanging hook, only 200 miles away from Chang'an. In this way, Shi Hu's desire to order my class teacher to return to the dynasty became even stronger. ”
