Moling

Dong Guowei waved the battle flag and said loudly, "The soldiers listen to the order, the first batch to attack the head of Moling City today will be rewarded with ten gold!" ”

The soldiers below were agitated when they heard this, "Oh-oh-oh-"

"Now, prepare to storm the city!"

Woo woo - woo woo -

Knock knock knock - knock knock -

Drums beat and the horn sounded.

"Rush!"

Dong Guowei stood on the boxy chariot and watched the forward carry the ladder and charge into battle in the rain of arrows.

Someone fell, someone rushed over.

Soon, some soldiers rushed to the city wall, and as soon as the ladder was built, they climbed up vigorously.

Dong Guowei watched intently, the first soldier finally dodged the attack from above, and had already climbed to the top of the city tower, and he only needed to pass through the battlement to enter.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, he let out a cry of pain, and his hand unconsciously retracted, and at this time the soldier was standing on the ladder, and his sudden movement naturally caused an imbalance in his body, and then the whole person fell straight down with a scream.

This happened one after another, and it was half an hour, and no one had taken the city.

"What's going on?" Dong Guowei also saw that the situation was wrong.

At this time, the forward general returned with a soldier, "General Dong, the enemy should have some sharp objects around the battlements of the city wall, you see-" He motioned for the soldier to stretch out his hand.

I saw that the soldier's palms and arms seemed to have been cut by something sharp, and they were full of wounds, and they were gurgling with blood.

"Sharp things? Could it be that thistle terrestris is inserted? Dong Guowei pondered secretly.

"General Dong, it's not thistle, I saw it, it was sharp and sharp, transparent, and very firmly attached around the battlement."

Dong Guowei frowned and nodded, it seemed that it would be difficult for them to attack the city tower this time, so he set his eyes on the crash.

He noticed that whether it was a car or a log, the soldiers worked together to slam it into the city gate, and the city gate did not move.

No progress.

When Dong Guo was worried about the progress of the siege, the soldiers defending the city on the upper floor of Moling City only felt that the pressure was greatly reduced.

When an enemy attacked, they didn't care about it for a while, and after the opponent was pierced in the palm and arm, they just needed to mend the knife in time.

Half an hour later, after confirming that the difficulty of attacking Moling had indeed increased, and that it had more than doubled, Dong Guo decisively ordered the withdrawal of troops and stopped the siege.

In a siege battle, if you can't attack the opponent's tower, and you can't open the city gate, if you continue, it's just a senseless sacrifice.

Woowoo woo –

The imperial court Mingjin withdrew its troops, and the besieging soldiers retreated like a tide.

There were bursts of cheers from the upper floor of Moling City.

The general defending the city immediately asked people to report the good news to the King of Jin.

"Lord Wang, Dong Guowei has withdrawn."

"Hahaha." King Jin laughed heartily.

"Lord Wang, this imperial court attack has not been around for less than an hour."

"It must be that the casualties are too great, and Dong Guo is also distressed for this old horseman!"

After this battle, the king of Jin's favor for Pingzhou rose gradually.

Bai Xingzhi on the side frowned, he did not have the optimism of King Jin.

The territory of the King of Jin has shrunk too seriously, and the original King of Jin started with the four counties of the East China Sea. Now half of Xin'an County is gone, and Huiji is also one-third, Danyang has taken away two cities to Pingzhou, and only Wu County is complete in the four counties.

At the end of the day, they were left with two counties.

The land of the two counties will provide for forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses......

Now they are not worried about food and grass because of King Jin's family background, but in the long run, it will definitely not work.

He only hoped that their plan would go smoothly now, and that the imperial court would send troops north as soon as possible. In this way, they have a glimmer of life.

Thinking of the news coming back from Chang'an, Bai Xingzhi smiled, for Sun Lao Taijun's almost persecution of the emperor's behavior, their people naturally added fuel to the fire.

Bai Xingzhi thought, insist on persevering!

……

Xie Zhan led his subordinates to deliberate, and the emperor's reprimand decree arrived.

The whole decree has one meaning, reprimanding him for being slack, not dedicated, and having a vegetarian meal......

In short, he is dissatisfied with his current progress in encircling and suppressing the King of Jin.

Xie Zhan knelt down to take the will and pleaded guilty.

In the face of Song Mo's reprimand, Xie Zhan was very calm in his heart, he didn't care about Song Mo's evaluation, so Song Mo's rebuke couldn't affect him.

However, the faces of all the members under his command are not very good, and the emperor is reprimanding Xie Zhan, the governor, why not scolding them?

It's only been a long time since they've been attacking the East China Sea, and they've already conquered so many cities! They're moving forward in an orderly and fast way. That's it, the emperor still thinks they are slow?

The emperor's difficult service was vividly manifested at this time.

At this moment, Dong Guowei sent someone to send someone about the battle situation of Moling.

The strangeness of Moling, Dong Guowei naturally reported it to Xie Zhan, the metropolitan governor, as soon as possible.

Dong Guowei said that the difficulty of attacking the city of Moling has increased.

Pingzhou came in. It would be difficult for those present not to guess in this direction. Will the city of King Jin become difficult to attack in the future?

Thinking about this, coupled with the previous reprimand, the faces of the generals present became solemn.

"King Jin has guarded Moling this time, won't he send the city to Pingzhou again?" Xie Nan said sarcastically.

The others laughed as well.

Xie Zhan stood in front of Yutu and didn't laugh, but it didn't stop them from making fun of King Jin.

He focused on the whole battle situation, not the gains and losses of one city and one pool.

In fact, Xie Zhan believes that Pingzhou still has the ability to continue to capture the city, but Pingzhou is really too stable, steady and steady, and has been preserving its strength.

King Jin sent two cities to Pingzhou, and he was displeased at first, but from another angle, it was not a bad thing to force Pingzhou to continue to expand the defense line and accelerate the consumption of grain and grass in Pingzhou.

Now that he knew that Pingzhou helped King Jin strengthen the city, Xie Zhan was not angry.

In his opinion, the Jin King and the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force in the East China Sea are like duckweed with two leaves and no roots in a pond. The last one could not escape the palm of his hand.

……

The old man Wang Juntao was confined by Xie Zhan to the Meishan Manor in Juzhang.

Qin Sheng led people to smoothly blend into the sentence, and then made a secret place to hide near Meishan Manor.

After settling down, they were not idle.

It didn't take much time to figure out the defense points and the distribution of troops, and of course, the situation of Meishan Manor, such as patrol rules and slogans.

Qin Sheng went to a trip and keenly sensed that something was wrong. Later, he personally touched the surroundings of Meishan Manor and eliminated all the people hiding in the shadows.

Before Qin Sheng rescued people, he asked people to notify Lin Shan first and ask him to take precautions.

Qin Sheng didn't know what he would trigger after he rescued the people, but he intuitively felt that Xie Zhan should have made corresponding arrangements for the Cao Gang.

Like his daughter-in-law, when making a plan, he always deduces several possible scenarios, and then prepares three sets of backup and response plans.

Although he didn't want to admit that Xie Zhan had brains, he couldn't help but face up to his insidious cunning.
