Chapter 746 Dark Clouds Overcome the City
Unreserved trust is not so easy to do.
Zhao Yun could do it, but the generals of Qifeng, especially those who came from Yi, could only be said to have to do it. The reason why he did not raise any objections was because the reality was like this and could not be changed by human power.
He agreed, but his mood was extremely heavy, and the atmosphere instantly became solemn.
However, compared to the atmosphere of Jicheng, the Jifeng Army was a little bit smaller. Just as Mu Wang arrived at the Jifeng Army camp, someone was lying on the snow outside the north gate of Ji County, crying loudly.
"All mistakes are all in the single Jing. I hope that Wang Junhou will remember the relationship between the past and not be slandered, and save my lord. If this happens, the Jing will be tied up in the next life to repay the kindness of the Lord..."
This is a night without stars and moons.
The lead clouds hang low, as if pressing on the city, making people feel depressed. The howling north wind swept across the unobstructed plain, raging in every corner of the Youyan land, arrogantly blowing the cry of the single scriptures into pieces, making it difficult to hear every word clearly, but sending the sadness and despair in the cry to everyone's heart.
"Is Juyong City already at this level of crisis? What an arrogant person, even..."
"General Baima doesn't really want it... Alas, in this world, is it true that a good person doesn't live long?"
"General Cavalry values love and righteousness, and his reputation spreads all over the world. He won't really refuse to save him, right?"
"Who is right? After all, the rumors are rumors. How can we grass people guess the thoughts of the meat eaters?"
People were talking a lot.
Nowadays, the various Hu forces in Youzhou are basically eliminated in Yan State, Nanyuyang and Fanyang, and have no control of the wealthy clans. Public opinion among the people is immediately released, and there are some people who are sorry. There are some people who are good at praying and chanting, and there are also some people who are unexplained.
The Hu people hated him to the core. If you eliminate the quick-witted people, the Han people will naturally have a good impression of him. No matter how many Hu people are innocent and gentle and reasonable, the people will not easily enter the world through the mouths of the Hu wealthy family.
The iron-like fact is here. Over the years, Gongsun Zan's tough measures have indeed greatly limited the number of attacks by the Hu people. If it weren't for Gongsun Zan, how could the Hu Qi come only once every few years? When Liu Yu proposed peace, he agreed so happily?
You know, when the Xianbei was the most arrogant, the emperor wanted to send the princess to Tan Shihuai to marry him, but the other party refused because Tan Shihuai felt that he would win. If Gongsun Zan had been there at that time, would he dare to be so arrogant?
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! Rescue? It's easy to say it, but do you know how many Hu cavalry are outside Xiguan? 100,000! There are also tribal herders who followed him to make fun of it. There were at least 300,000 to 400,000 Hu people. If so many Hu people had not come in one breath, how could you think the White Horse General be defeated?"
Among the onlookers, there are also people with extraordinary knowledge. They scoffed at the feelings and lament of the people.
"The cavalry army also launched a large-scale northward this time, but the troops were divided very well. It didn't take some time to concentrate the troops and then fight to the decisive battle. Didn't they go to deliver vegetables? Don't think that Ansheng is fine now. Don't forget that there is a 40,000 army from Tadun in the east, and they are eyeing it! If they are defeated and are trapped by the Wuwan bastard..."
"Hey, you heard the wind too? The Hu people are driving the people of Dai County and Shanggu out of the frontier. The General of the Cavalry is in power and the Shenwu is the world. Qingzhou is also a big family. Even if he suffers a defeat, he will retreat to the south of Yishui and save Jizhou. The unlucky ones are the hardships we suffer! So if you don't understand, don't make trouble."
After saying something, the onlookers suddenly calmed down and felt cold. Yes, everyone almost forgot that the battle has not been finished yet. If it is not done well, maybe they will be as miserable as the neighbors in Shanggu.
Not to mention the long life of being enslaved by the cruel Hu people after leaving the border, just talking about how many people can cross Baishan alive when the weather is cold and cold? Before sympathizing with others, we must first see if we have the ability.
"But, isn't everyone saying that General Cavalry is brave and powerful? Isn't it just hundreds of thousands of Hu Qi? He should have any solutions?" Some people said unwillingly, but there were very few people talking, and their voices were even lower. After a few words, they themselves felt that it was unreasonable and stopped embarrassedly.
Even ordinary people have seen this, so of course the single scriptures outside the city will not be unclear. He even knows more in detail than the people, and even the debates and attitudes of the civil and military officials in Qingzhou are clear.
Even Zhuge Liang's comprehensive plan was to save Gongsun Zan just to do his best and leave his will, but there was still hope. Wang Yu didn't know how he thought about it, but he didn't even give him this little hope.
Although he sent multiple scouts to test and contact friendly troops, he still kept his troops in motion, and saw that five days had passed!
Shan Jing said that Juyong City could not last for five days, so it was indeed serious. However, judging from the news that Zou Dan had three times a day, his mouth was indeed a bit of a crow's mouth. Under the full attack of Xianyufu and Xianyu Yin, Juyong City's defense was weakened and collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When Gongsun Zan retreated to Juyong City, there were about 4,000 remaining soldiers in the city. The Hu people besieged for nearly a month, but the results were limited. The defenders were not injured or injured, and the attackers also did not suffer much damage.
After Xian Yufu and others took the battle, the first day caused more than 500 defenders to be reduced! Juyong City was not a strong city after all, and Gongsun Jun was better at field battles than defending the city. With Xian Yufu and others' siege skills obtained from the Han army, Gongsun Zan quickly showed a lack of support.
The next day, another five hundred!
On the third day, due to the decrease in defenders, the room for maneuver was lost, and the casualties in a single day suddenly increased to more than 800!
If it weren't for the fierce battle on the third day, Gongsun Zan took the risk of sending suicide squads out of the city to counterattack, destroying a large number of siege equipment. By today, Juyong City might have been lost.
Even so, the casualties in the next two days reached 700 to 800. In other words, the defenders in the city even included the wounded soldiers, which was no more than 1,500. In the past two days, Xian Yufu once again created a sufficient amount of equipment...
In the siege of the city, the siege of the Hu army and the Hu people suffered a lot of losses, but their troops were too many, and they still had enough room for battle. However, the defenders in the city had reached their limit in terms of physical strength and military strength.
There is no doubt that unless God opens his eyes tomorrow and a blizzard will fall, Gongsun Zan will not be able to hold on for the third day no matter what.
Shan Jing couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to go back to Xiguan to share life and death with Gongsun Zan. Before leaving, he wanted to do his last effort, so the scene of crying was caused.
But after crying for a long time, although there were many sympathizers, even the Qingzhou soldiers on the top of the city burst into tears, there was no movement in the direction of the city guarding the palace, and he was desperate.
"Since that's the case... Shan only hopes that Wang Junhou Wuyun will always be long. There will be a day to avenge the 30,000 soldiers of Youzhou border troops in the future. He will say goodbye!" Shan Jing shouted loudly, then turned over and left. From the moment he said that, he never looked back.
So decisive and so tragic!
The sound of horse hooves quickly disappeared into the wind. Taishi Ci stared at the indelible darkness and punched the battlement heavily: "This battle is so fucking frustrating! What's wrong with the lord? Why did it suddenly become unhappy at all? We worked hard to save people, but now it's like a bad person! Wen Chang, what's going on?"
"My lord... has any thoughts?" Wei Yan replied in a muffled voice, but the unwillingness in his tone could be heard by deaf people.
"What are you thinking about?" Taishi Ci waved his hand and punched him again, causing ice chips to fly around the battlements.
"It's all the people Kong Ming and those who are not good. They always say that they are the son of a daughter who is not in the hall. They should be careful about their words and deeds... That's right, the lord always leads first, and it's not very appropriate. But if you lose that kind of spirit, will the lord still be the lord? Are our cavalry troops still the most powerful soldier in the world? Do you know what this is? Mu Qi! This is Mu Qi!"
"Well, it's Mu Qi." Wei Yan nodded, surprisingly not echoing Taishi Ci's words of angrily scolding Zhuge Liang, but looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this side. He whispered: "Brother Ziyi, do you dare to take risks?"
"You ask me if you dare to take risks?" Taishi Ci glanced at Wei Yan sideways and snorted from his nose.
"It's a big risk!" Wei Yan said seriously: "I'll attack the masses with few people, and I still won't get any credit, but I will be punished instead..."
"You..." Taishi Ci's eyes rolled, and she suddenly gasped, stared at her colleague, and asked in disbelief: "Wen Chang, you don't want it..."
"Yes!" Wei Yan nodded with certainty: "It's you and me, let's ask your lord to go to Xiguan to help the war. The reason is to use the same thing that Kong Ming said... The Taishan Army should not be moved lightly, but our Yinwu Army did not say so much. Let's talk about the story. After we arrive, we will think of a way to break through the encirclement and rescue the remaining soldiers of Juyong City!"
"This..." Taishi Ci hesitated. He was brave and did not dare to take any risks. Wei Yan's plan could not scare him, but the problem was that this plan was to be carried out without Wang Yu, which was equivalent to deceiving the king. He could not do this.
When Wei Yan saw Taishi Ci's expression, he knew the other party's intentions and did not continue to persuade him. He changed the subject and said, "If Brother Ziyi dare not go, then he will ask for his own order. I hope Brother Ziyi will not explain the key points."
"Although there are still some soldiers in Xiguan, you are alone, but you are unable to hear the sound of your hand." Taishi Ci shook his head and looked serious: "It's better to go with you, but you must report to the lord... Don't worry, the lord is not a king who likes to hide his thoughts. His consideration cannot be told to the single scriptures, but he will not hide it from you and me. You and I will go and ask for a fight now." (To be continued...)
