Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1181: Even if you win ten cities, you are still not the enemy of the championship
King Yingchuan screamed, raised his head and fell down.

When he fell down, the people around him were terrified, they couldn't care about anything, they hurried over to investigate the situation, for fear that something might happen, and if he didn't say he was responsible, the city needed further improvement. Big mess.

Below, Pu Hong laughed loudly, then quickly turned his horse's head, and returned to his own formation before the arrows from the top of the city were shot down. Then he commanded the troops and horses and continued to attack the city!

The top of the city was already in chaos because King Yingchuan had fallen. Because he was shot directly in public, he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. And the leading clan member fell, and the others also It was impossible to issue orders at all, so the news spread from ten to ten, and soon the entire garrison knew about it, and people were suddenly panicked.

If the people's hearts are in chaos, even if the establishment is still there, if the people's hearts are in turmoil, this order will not be easy to implement. If the family members are not still in the city, I am afraid that the soldiers guarding the city have dispersed.

Even so, it was still difficult to defend. The Di soldiers and horses once captured several city walls and were about to gain the upper hand. However, at the critical moment, perhaps they thought of the tragic scene after the barbarians broke through the city. The defenders The soldiers burst out with energy again, withstood the attack and fought back.

This siege battle lasted from morning to night. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. When the Di people retreated, they left corpses on the ground.

On the other hand, the small court in Chang'an was even more miserable. Almost all the soldiers guarding the city were injured, and there were countless dead. Moreover, everyone's heart was filled with excitement and they didn't know what the future would bring. Most people were still thinking about the life and death of that clan member. above——

After King Yingchuan was hit by an arrow, he was sent to the city for treatment. It is said that he turned the corner and saved his life. However, he never showed up again. He was probably seriously injured. Moreover, at this time, many people were worried about this statement. It was to reassure people, maybe King Yingchuan had been seriously injured and died.

And even if he is not dead, he is now seriously injured and unable to maintain the military and political affairs. In addition, the Huainan King has fallen ill before, and the Guanzhong clan has lost two out of three, and is already incomplete. The Chu King is now very reluctant to maintain the government. If it happens again I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to shoulder the burden.

Not to mention, in the past, the strength of the soldiers defending the city could be used as an excuse to appease people's hearts, but now, after a day of fighting, the troops were lost, and even the king of Yingchuan who was in charge of the military fell. Who can have confidence again?

As a result, the atmosphere inside and outside the city became more and more solemn, and large-scale desertions even began to occur. As for the people who wanted to escape from the city, there were even more countless people.

However, the Guanzhong court may be helpless in the face of the army besieged outside the city, but it is still able to deal with these soldiers and civilians who want to escape. This is also due to the long-term rebellion in Guanzhong. The manpower of these three kings has long been You will know how to force the people and cut off their escape routes.

At the end of the night, nearly a hundred people were imprisoned.

Then many rumors started to spread in the city. For a while, rumors really spread everywhere, and many factions arose in the court. One said that they wanted to ask for help from Liangzhou, and they could give high-ranking officials of the Zhang family generous salaries in exchange; He went to ask Youzhou for reinforcements, saying that as soon as the news of Youzhou's mobilization of troops came, Pu Hongbao would run away with his tail between his legs as soon as possible; he also said that he would contact the Jiangzuo court, saying that the two sides are one family and should communicate with each other. support.

They even said that they went to Shu to borrow troops. The Li family in Shu has long been known as a traitor. It has only been in business for a few years, and it is already deeply rooted. King Yingchuan is in Hanzhong, and several times of southern expeditions have been fruitless. , now that we want to borrow troops, it is equivalent to giving the other party a status, which is a bit of a big problem. Therefore, many people will not agree with this proposal.Just after discussions, a key issue is still difficult to implement. There are people who object to every proposal, and they can all point out one, two, three or four disadvantages.

In the end, it was still a waste of time, so that King Chu was a little frustrated.

But this clan member knew in his heart that there was not much time left for him and Chang'an.

Today's Chang'an City is different from a few years ago. In order to increase the population, many barbarians were introduced. These people usually have a lot of strange things, but they can be suppressed by relying on the prestige of the court. Now the city is under siege, and various unfavorable factors Gathering together, seeing that the city is difficult to defend, these people have become hidden dangers.

Fortunately, the King of Chu still had some sense and did not take any action to capture these people and kill them. Instead, he stepped up inspections and had people spread the word in the city that Chang'an had enough food and the city was strong. People are not good at attacking cities. Even if they are besieged now, they can last for a year!
This news did stabilize people's hearts to a certain extent, and ultimately allowed the defense of the city to continue.

However, after the siege lasted for half a month, as the food in several major granaries was running low, and many Guanzhong families and nobles began to collect food and grass, civilians began to starve to death, and many rumors spread in the city again.

More importantly, some barbarians began to gather and gather in private. Although several of these gatherings were discovered by patrolling soldiers on the spot and arrested, as more and more such gatherings occurred, there were still some The fish that slipped through the net, slowly, an undercurrent accumulated in the city, and even people in the court noticed it, but now there are leaks everywhere, and they can't take care of it at all.

Finally, one night, the barbarians in the city suddenly broke out, armed with weapons they didn't know where they got, and caused a riot in the city. Several teams even ran over to open the city gate.

Although those who opened the door were suppressed, the riots in the city still spread. The ordinary people, who had been hungry for a long time and had accumulated dissatisfaction, were finally released in panic. As a result, the city was in chaos, and even the soldiers were attacked. The likes, dislikes and fighting spirit.

When the Di army outside the city saw this, they immediately seized the opportunity and attacked the city again. This time, the city gate finally opened and many soldiers rushed in.

"Tell Erlang, it's okay to rob things, but don't kill the people!" Pu Hong issued the order, "A certain family doesn't want to be like that Shihu and angered the champion. By occupying the city today, it can be considered that they have a foothold. The three kings were tied up and sent to Youzhou, which is another great achievement. I think the champion might be able to take advantage of this and let a certain family take charge!"

Someone below was puzzled and said: "Why did you finally capture Chang'an? Why don't you take the opportunity to separate the country? Why are you still afraid of the champion?"

Pu Hong immediately scolded: "You know nothing, even if I occupy ten more Chang'an, I will still be no match for the champion!"
