Song Dynasty

Chapter 179 Depressed Anger (Part [-])

"Damn you little thief Wang, he hits and doesn't fight, retreats and doesn't retreat, what exactly does he want to do?"

"Don't you want Huanggang, his hometown, and not be afraid of Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng and the others copying him?"

"Cao Cheng is a coward. Didn't he just eat 1 horses and didn't hurt him at all? As for being so frightened, he shrank in Yingcheng and didn't dare to take a step east? Zhiniang, when he was in Kaifeng, this kid was always Show off your power in front of Lao Tzu, say that his soldiers and horses are the number one in the left-behind division, I'm pissed!"

"Where is the messenger, why hasn't the news of the messenger been brought back?"

"Zhang Yong, mediocre man, if I see you, I will punch your hypocritical smiling face flat!"

Standing on the city wall, watching the busy Sizhou army in the distance, Kong Yanzhou cursed loudly.

Seeing his ashen face, the soldiers were trembling and dared not answer. As for Lu Benzhong, they simply hid far away and kept fanning the wind.

The weather was so hot that the crenels and the city bricks under our feet were scalding hot when exposed to the sun, and sweat came out one after another, and the armor could no longer be worn and was thrown aside.

Everyone was roasted to the point of wilting, with despair on their faces.

That's right, the siege of the city has been going on for almost two months, and there has been a major epidemic in Qichun City. The people have basically died, and the food is almost exhausted. It is no way to keep on like this.

In fact, the key to defending the city is not military strength and supplies, but confidence. I believe that as long as I keep on defending, I will be able to win the final victory.Otherwise, it is pointless consumption.

Therefore, there is a saying in the Art of War: Do not defend a city without help.

From the beginning of the siege, the soldiers of the Kong family pinned all their hopes on Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng on the Anlu side.From their point of view, after all, they belong to the same branch of the left-behind division, and they are from the same family. They had a very happy cooperation when they played Du Chong before, and this time should be no exception.

Things started as Kong Yanzhou expected, Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng took advantage of Wang Shen's siege of Qichun and the emptiness in the rear to send a large army to attack Huangzhou.

Losing the foundation of Huangzhou and being attacked by two forces, no matter how you look at it, Wang Shen has no power to recover, and his defeat is imminent.

When Wang Shen divided his troops to rescue Huanggang, everyone in the city breathed a sigh of relief.He felt that even if the rebels from all walks of life couldn't gnaw at Huanggang for a while, they would have to drag the troops led by Wang Shen for ten and a half months.

However, it was this Wang Daosi who defeated Cao Cheng's [-] troops in just a few days, killing the whole river without any heads.The other reinforcements were frightened and fled back to Anlu overnight.

This unprecedented battle of Huangzhou was so easily suppressed by Wang Shen.

Simple, rude, unacceptable.

Are we really going to be trapped to death in this city of Qichun by the surname Wang?
This thought flashed through everyone's mind.

Fortunately, when Wang Shen returned to Qichun this time, he was not in a hurry to attack. He turned against the net and let the people go out of the city to survive.

When he got this opportunity, Kong Yanzhou sent someone to pretend to be a commoner, sneak out of the city with his own letter, and ran to Anlu Zhangyong to ask for help, and promised him a lot of money.

However, people have been gone for more than ten days, and there is still no news.

Not only the generals, but even Kong Yanzhou was anxious to get angry, and his personality became extremely irritable.

Hearing his cursing, Liu Fu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, general, there should be news in the next two days. Wang Shen has surrounded our army and has not fought. Of course we can give the tired soldiers a rest. , but we also have to guard against him suddenly attacking the city and hitting me by surprise. Wang Shen is extremely cunning, so don’t be careless. General, you should spend some more money to stabilize the army’s morale and boost morale.”

He said this very implicitly: the situation in front of us is so bad, you Kong Yanzhou is still cursing Zhang Yong and Cao Cheng in front of everyone, if this word gets out, everyone will think that the reinforcements are hopeless.If you don't need Wang Shen to arrive, I'm afraid they will be scattered immediately.

Hearing this, Kong Yanzhou flew into a rage, and punched Liu Fu on the cheek until his teeth were bleeding.He stared at the triangular eyes and cursed: "I have fought all my life, and I still need you to teach me. Why, do you want to learn from that little bastard Kong Xian who usurped my military power and usurped it? Hehe, Liu Fu, you have the ambition Ah, I really underestimated you!"

Liu Fu's cold water flowed out, and he was about to kneel down.

Suddenly, Lu Benzhong in the distance shouted: "General Kong, something is wrong, something is wrong, the Sizhou army is going to attack."

"What!" Kong Yanzhou let Liu Fu go and looked forward.I saw that, across the Qi River, the Sizhou army on the other side was gathering rapidly, and launched many siege weapons.

As he ran, Kong Yanzhou kicked the soldiers who were hiding behind the shadow of the battlements to enjoy the shade, and shouted: "Watch out, watch out, pay attention, the king thief is coming. Damn, after surrounding me for so many days, these bastards finally came out of their nests." , I just want to show him some color."

Suddenly, the city wall, which was as quiet as a tomb before, became lively, with soldiers and civilians running around in a hurry.All kinds of defense equipment began to be wound up, the fire was ignited, and he picked up the iron armor that had been scorched by the sun and put it on his body, and then let out a painful groan.

Liu Fu escaped, and was panting, Lu Benzhong walked over with his back behind his back, "Is General Liu okay?"

"I'm fine." Liu Fu asked: "Master Lu, the Sizhou army suffered a lot from us when they attacked the city before, but they had no choice but to besiege instead of attacking. Why did they change their mind today?"

Lu Benzhong: "Today the Sizhou army is assembled again, it's just harassment and temptation, this battle can't be won."

Liu Fu was stunned: "Since it's harassment and temptation, why did you call it a big deal just now, Master Lu?"

Lu Benzhong: "I don't say that, don't you want to be subject to the military law of General Kong?"

Liu Fu suddenly realized, and said sincerely and in a low voice: "Master Lu, the military commander has been very bad-tempered these days. If you hadn't shouted like that just now, he would not be able to escape the next round of military sticks. Thank you sir for your help."

Lu Benzhong smiled faintly: "It's nothing to do a little work. Don't thank me. If you really want to thank...hehe..." He rolled his eyes and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "As General Liu said , The military master has a very bad temper recently. No matter who it is, he will be punished if he disagrees. Today is you, and tomorrow is the old man. If I encounter a situation like yours one day in the future, please help me Do me a favor."

Liu Fu nodded: "It should be, it should be."

Lu Benzhong: "General Liu, just remember your promise. Come on, let's watch the battle together. Don't worry, today's battle won't be won. Let's see what new tricks Wang Daosi has?"

"Okay, please, Master Lu."

At that moment, the two of them stood behind the battlements, and looked forward while building a pergola.
