Beggar is a general with a very good ability to learn.

He followed Qiyan Jinhan to fight the bald department, and learned Qiyan Jinhan's military methods three or four percent.

He was beaten up by Yue Shaoqian, but he also learned Yue Shaoqian's ability to defend the city sporadically.

Therefore, begging for money in defending the city can be regarded as quite experienced.

Moreover, the soldiers under his command are not a single county soldier, but also a large number of elites from the Yongliang battlefield.

In addition, the Hu people are naturally brave and good at fighting, and they are not easy to deal with.

Under the command of Qi Yanqiu, this group of old soldiers gradually stabilized their defensive position and guarded the city in an orderly manner.

Although Leshun occasionally climbed the city wall, the siege battle was not so easy after all.

It's not like a city can be taken in a day or two.

Of course, Liu Ke is not in a hurry.

Pretended to be sick and paddled with Yue Shaoqian, and practiced other generals by the way.

Anyway, it doesn't matter how good your begging ability is, and what your soldiers and horses are.

The disadvantages are always here.

As long as Shi Zhou Haocong in the back does not support, he will be able to take the city sooner or later.

Five days later.

A general, whose clothes were covered with blood, ran to the side of the beggar and said:

"General, it's not good, the Han army at the south gate has launched a general attack on the city, and it is almost impossible to hold on over there!"

"This Liu Pheasant!"

The beggar slapped the city on the head, and the skin was almost worn out.

Although Liu Ke didn't even come to the city in person this time, it didn't prevent him from begging to vent.

If there is no emperor who is sick and personally recruited, where will the morale of these Han soldiers come from?

When it comes to this condition, begging for shame is itching with hatred.

Illness is illness, no illness is no illness, what does it mean to be well after a while?

You're still intermittent, aren't you?

But I have to say that I really frightened the beggars.

said that Liu Pheasant was really sick, he was stunned and never died.

It's a fake disease, but he doesn't take the lead in person.

It's not an exaggeration.

Judging from the achievements of Emperor Han in these years, as long as he takes the chessboard first, Wuling County is estimated to have been broken in the next few days.

Maybe you might be able to drive the donkey cart to the city.

Begging for thought about it, he had no idea, so he had to put it down for the time being and deal with the things in front of him.

If it is in the hands of a few Han army generals, they can't hold the city, don't think about Liu Pheasant.

"The soldiers and horses on the city can't be withdrawn, let the clans in the city come out with some sincerity, you must resist me!"

"Yes!"

"Ahh

A miserable scream sounded around the beggar begging.

It turned out that the bed crossbow on the dirt mountain outside the city played an extremely domineering effect.

The bed crossbow first appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was launched by a winch, with a long range, but poor accuracy, and the tactics of large-scale salvo fire were generally adopted.

It was only in Dahan that it began to be popularized on a large scale.

The bed crossbow in the Han army is a new type of bed crossbow created by Geng Sanji through the continuous accumulation of data and experience through the ship crossbow to catch kun.

Although there is no epoch-making development, the lethality is still extraordinarily terrifying.

And the uneven rhythm made the battlefield even more chaotic.

Some Donghu soldiers, who were not accustomed to sounds, were extremely unaccustomed and flustered.

The only drawback may be that the consumption is relatively large.

The wear and tear of the bed crossbow and the consumption of special crossbow arrows are all money.

Fortunately, there have always been merchant ships from the Maison, returning from Luzon and bringing with them batch after batch of good things.

"How do you fight this!"

If it shoots a stray arrow, the beggar can still rely on his martial arts to chop it away with a knife.

But if it's a crossbow bolt.

Who is flying, it's not certain.

The beggar wanted to dodge the crossbow arrows, but the soldiers of the Han army who controlled the strings were not stupid, and they all stared at him.

It's hard to hide from the city.

So much so, a little embarrassed.

"Ahh

The accuracy of the bed crossbow is not enough, but it can't withstand the Han army's arrogance now.

A thick arrow shot at Qiyanqiu, even if the guards raised their shields to resist, Qiyanqiu was also shocked under the huge force, and fell to the ground.

"Oh no, the general has been shot!"

"General, General!"

The surrounding soldiers were all shocked when they saw the beggar begging to fall to the ground.

Liu Ke originally just came out for a walk, yawned and let off steam, and told the soldiers by the way that the emperor was just sick and not dead.

I didn't expect to see the scene of begging for Yan to fall to the ground.

Although he has another plan, it is not bad to be able to take Wuling County like this.

He immediately changed his tone, and said loudly in a pure Shizhou Haobu Donghu accent:

"Begging for death, begging for death!"

The soldiers who controlled the bed crossbow on the earth mountain cheered excitedly.

Several generals tried their best to attack the city, but they failed to reach the city walls.

But they were able to shoot the enemy commander with a bed crossbow.

The first credit is on them!

However, the excitement was quickly broken by the startled voice of a soldier.

A group of soldiers looked at each other.

I saw that the beggar actually stood up again and did not fall down.

"What are you doing, just a bed crossbow!"

"It would have been killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain of the beggar department, not to mention the bed crossbow, even the chessboard of Liu Pheasant, it may not be able to hurt!"

"What a fuss!"

I saw the beggar get up from the ground, pat the dust on his body, and shouted at the soldiers:

"Aren't you going to line up yet?!"

A group of soldiers saw that they were begging for mercy and were unharmed.

silently restrained the noisy emotions, regathered the fighting spirit, and returned to their respective points.

"General, how are you?"

A member of the general came to the side of the beggar and couldn't help but ask.

"It's fine."

The beggar was silent for a while, and looked at his right arm, which was hanging weakly.

He missed the arrow, and the crossbow arrow did not penetrate the shield.

But the arm was broken.

He whispered to the adjutant general:

"Don't spread the word, I should have rested for two days."

"You and the generals in the army are responsible for supervising the soldiers to defend the city, and when the general's injuries are better, then go to the city."

"General."

The left arm of the beggar was intact, and he waved:

"Ben will not just lie on the couch like that."

"There are not many soldiers in the city, and I will leave on the grounds of recruiting young and strong people to defend the city."

The deputy general looked at the right arm that could not be raised at all, sighed, and said:

"That's all I have to ......"

"Report !!"

Before he could get off the city wall, a soldier ran in and reported:

"General, Na Leshun has ascended first, and Hou Junyan has also sent two thousand soldiers and horses to attack, and the brothers are about to be unable to withstand it!"

"What a damn thing!"

When he heard this, his right arm was almost raised, almost creating a medical miracle.

Time flickered, and another eight days passed.

The city of Wuling County is full of blood.

In the past eight days, the Han army attacked the city during the day, and at night used catapults, bed crossbows, rushing carts, and all kinds of bells and whistles siege equipment to attack the city defense fortifications of Wuling County.

The soldiers of Wuling County have lost more than 3,000 people.

The Han army, as the besieging party, also suffered nearly 5,000 casualties.

The head of the city of Wuling County was bombarded by catapults, and several large holes appeared in the wall.

This made the beggar feel that the Han army was leveling them up.

During the day, I'm training those recruits.

In the evening, it is to train the soldiers to skillfully use siege equipment.

As for the bereavement pension, wear and tear of equipment?

I heard that Luzon sent another batch of loans.

I really can't figure it out.

The big man is obviously borrowing money, how can he be like an uncle, collecting the annual payment of the younger brother?

And now the fracture of begging is more serious.

He didn't have time to go down to the city to rest, so he could only defend the city despite his injuries, and he relied almost entirely on perseverance to support.

But the perseverance of begging is really good.

I firmly believe that Shi Zhou Haocong will not give up Wuling County in vain, and will definitely come to help.

Because the Han army was not without casualties.

Judging by the proportion of casualties in this siege, as long as there is no field battle, the Han army is not so difficult to stop.

The total Han army, which is only seventy or eighty thousand, is still not too much, even if it continues to replenish troops in the future, or mobilize county soldiers from all over the country to make up the number.

Under repeated attrition, Jingnan may not be able to be captured.

Qi Yanqiu glanced at the Han army that was still attacking, and then looked at the direction of Changsha County, and muttered:

"Siege is not something you can fight and capture."

——

"What's going on in Wuling County?"

Shi Zhou Haocong sat on the main seat, and there was a spy standing below him from the side of Wuling County.

The spy arched his hand:

"General, now the Han army is storming the county town of Wuling, although the Han Emperor did not personally enter the battle array, but many Han army fierce generals, each leading the army, attacked from the four gates."

"Not only have dirt mountains been built, but there are also various siege equipment."

"The defenders have no respite at all, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that Wuling County will not be able to keep it!"

When Meng Feng heard this, he got up and said:

"The Han army only sent Ma Kuo and Li Jingji to lead the army to attack Guiyang County and Lingling County."

"The army of Wuling County has gathered, and there are many generals, Liu Pheasant and Yue Shaoqian, even if they are sick, they are still on the front line of Wuling County."

"It shows that the main target of the Han army is Wuling County."

"Once Wuling County is lost, Changsha County is in crisis, and Changsha County is in danger, Jingnan is lost."

"The general should quickly send troops to rescue Wuling County!"

"No."

Shi Zhou Haocong waved his hand, and Liu Bin reminded him that he would not underestimate the enemy:

"That Liu Pheasant is scheming, and now he is also called sick, most of them have some conspiracy and tricks, and they must be guarded against."

Meng Feng gritted his teeth, if it was before, the Han army would have won if it had won, and Jing Nan would have lost it, so he immediately surrendered and ate and drank spicy food.

But his wife and daughter are all in Shi Zhou's house.

He was really passive.

"Is it just a matter of watching and letting the Han army take Wuling County?"

"General Meng, don't worry."

Shi Zhou Haocong smiled and said:

"Naturally, I won't watch the fall of Wuling County."

"Wuling County is garrisoned by beggars, and there will also be soldiers and horses in Lingling and Guiyang counties to support."

"But since the Han army is mainly attacking Wuling County, then these are not enough."

"So I decided to send 20,000 soldiers and horses to meet Wuling County."

"20,000 soldiers and horses are not much, but they are not many."

"It can not only keep the county seat of Wuling, but also not make the garrison of Changsha County too weak."

Shi Zhou Haocong paused and said:

"Meng Feng, you will lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to support!"

"Me?"

Meng Feng's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he arched his hand and said:

"General, among the Han army, there are many famous generals."

"Now that the general already knows that Liu Pheasant must be calculating something, then the general is probably not an opponent."

"Please send me some more soldiers and horses!"

Shi Zhou Haocong glanced at Meng Feng.

If you want to increase your troops, you can increase them?

What if your wife and daughter don't want it, and you directly lead the troops to fight back?

Although these soldiers will not listen to you to rebel.

However, Shi Zhou Haocong didn't show too much, and said:

"You don't have to face the Han army head-on, but you have to pretend to be invincible."

"Give the Han army the illusion that it can break through Wuling County and endanger Changsha County."

"Also."

Shi Zhou Haocong glanced at Meng Feng seriously and said:

"Since you are an internal response of the Han army, it is time to surrender to the Han Dynasty."

"Huh?"

Meng Feng snorted coldly.

Then he reacted, and a cold sweat broke out behind him.

This is to let him go to the Han army and make an internal response for Donghu!

Shi Zhou Haocong raised his eyelids:

"What, don't want to?"

Meng Feng grinned reluctantly:

"How come, it is the honor of the last general to serve the general."

Shi Zhou Haocong shook his head and smiled easily:

"No, it's your honor to serve the Great Han."

Soon, Meng Feng arrived at Wuling County with 20,000 soldiers and horses to support.

It was quite prudent to beg for money, although the two had communicated, they were not in a hurry to find an opportunity to let Meng Feng lead his troops into the city.

Instead, let 20,000 soldiers and horses camp outside the city of Wuling County.

Anyway, the Han army will only 30,000 soldiers immediately, unless the Han army that attacked Lingling and Guiyang counties will return to converge, otherwise the Donghu people will occupy an absolute advantage in Wuling County.

It's just to defend the city, more than enough.

Because the enemy army came to support, the Han army only had troops and horses under Lei Lan and Bani Han today, and they were still carrying out a tentative siege.

Di Han, Hou Junyan and Le Shun withdrew to the camp.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, there is a Malay newspaper:

"Your Majesty, Meng Feng has led an army of 20,000 to support."

"Shi Zhou Haocong in Changsha County seems to be ready to move."

Liu Ke's face was pale, and his legs and feet were swinging.

He put down the roast chicken in his hand, wiped the grease on his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and said:

"Ahem-ahem"

"Then our army is in this Wuling County, but it has fallen into disadvantage?"

The one-sided mask on Di Han's face looked particularly cold, and he said:

"Exactly, if it is a strong attack, the loss will not be too small, and the last general suggests that you rely more on siege equipment, these are"

When Hou Junyan heard this, he directly interrupted Di Han and said indifferently:

"No matter how much support he comes, if he comes to the end of 20,000, he will swallow 20,000 for His Majesty, and if he comes at the end of 100,000, he will swallow 100,000 for His Majesty, and he will come for 200,000."

"No way!"

Liu Ke waved his hand and said:

"Why are you still eating people?"

Yue Shaoqian's acting skills are not good, and he rarely shows up, so it was Xue Jia who spoke out next:

"Ahem—no matter what, the enemy has come to support, and there are many soldiers and horses."

"I think what General Di said is that if we want to attack, our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties."

"Even if you take Wuling County, you won't be able to enter Changsha County."

"It's best to be able to contact the city's finesse."

"Finesse?"

Hou Junyan was stunned, if you want to be meticulous, and you still attack until now?

Just then, a pawn came in and reported:

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from someone!"

"Let him in!"

Liu Ke and Xue Jia looked at each other, and they both saw the strangeness in each other's eyes.

"The villain has seen Your Majesty!"

After a while, a pawn who looked like a pawn from Donghu entered the tent.

"Who are you?"

"I am General Meng Feng's personal guard!"
