Fighting again the next day, Wang Ziyong pushed all the soldiers and horses in the rear to the foot of Sanshui City, as if he wanted to take over this not very strong county town in one go.
Ganquan City has been captured by the officers and soldiers, and the siege of Xi'an Prefecture has also been resolved by the officers and soldiers. Soon, after the officers and soldiers have dealt with the attack from Fengxiang Prefecture, they will detach a part of their troops to rescue the soldiers and horses in Sanshui County. If they give up again
The officers and soldiers of Sanshui County ran away, so how could Wang Ziyong have the nerve to go back to see Wang Jiayin? Especially when facing Gao Yingxiang, he couldn't hold his head high.
On this day, before midnight, the peasant army launched a fierce attack on Sanshui County. Standing in the city, you can clearly feel that this attack is more fierce than before. The small Sanshui County was overwhelmed by the peasant army like a flood.
Under the offensive, it seems that it will be overwhelmed at any time.
Cao Wenzhao strode up to the city with a sword hanging on his waist. The sound of bows and arrows mixed with the sound of fighting in his ears. The city was filled with blood and dust and smoke.
When the battle reached this point, any strategy was of no use, and all that mattered was willpower. The peasant army besieged everywhere, and the offensive was very fierce. The casualties of the defenders in the city increased sharply, and the troops were completely insufficient. However, in Cao Wenzhao's hands
There was no spare force left. Cao Bianjiao had been holding the dragon on top of the city. He had just killed an enemy soldier when he spotted Cao Wenzhao in the rear from the corner of his eye.
Wiping the blood on his face, Cao Bianjiao hurried over and said anxiously: "Uncle, why did you come to the top of the city? Get down quickly..."
"It's nonsense. I'm not old enough to use the sword. Stop talking nonsense and join me in killing the enemy. Tell my brothers, if the thieves break through Sanshui County, none of us will survive."
"Hey, okay." Cao Bianjiao couldn't resist Cao Wenzhao. He could only nod with a sullen face, turned around, but was stunned again. He hesitated for a moment, but said with a responsible face: "Uncle, there are too many thieves. Three generals will
The water around Shuixian County is blocked, and we have almost used up the supplies to defend the city. The brothers suffered heavy casualties. If there are no reinforcements, I think... Sanshui County cannot be defended..."
Cao Wenzhao took a deep look at his nephew, and finally felt a little unbearable in his heart. This was the last single branch of the old Cao family, "You want to break out of the encirclement?"
"Breaking through?" Cao Bianjiao pursed his lips and said with a wry smile, "Uncle, don't tell a joke. The traitor soldiers are in such a posture that even a fly can't fly out. How to break out? If you break out at this time, you will only die faster."
"Haha." Cao Wenzhao suddenly showed a happy smile in his eyes, and said with a smile, "You are sensible, tell the brothers, we have reinforcements, and according to the schedule, they should be arriving in Sanshui County soon."
"Where did the reinforcements come from?" Cao Bianjiao's expression changed again and again. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out where the reinforcements were that could turn the tide of the battle. The Xi'an Mansion could spare some troops to rush to Sanshui's aid.
County, but if you want to resolve the crisis in Sanshui County, it will not be possible in a short time.
Cao Wenzhao did not intend to tell Cao Bianjiao. He picked up a knife on the ground and walked past Cao Bianjiao. He said calmly: "You will know soon. Of course, if we can hold on until they arrive."
words."
Cao Wenzhao no longer had the confidence in his eyes before. This time, he was really not sure whether everything could develop as planned. The peasant army surrounded them everywhere and attacked desperately. This was something Cao Wenzhao had not thought of before. It was this
This desperate style of play left no room for chance, leaving Cao Wenzhao unable to find any way to deal with it. Sometimes the number of troops reached a certain level, and any strategy was meaningless.
The offensive and defensive battle in Sanshui County was still going on. The dilapidated county town was obviously on the verge of collapse, but it could not be captured. Wang Ziyong saw this and was anxious in his heart. When he was bored, a guard came over in a hurry.
"Chief Wang, King Gao Chuang's reinforcements have left Qishan and will arrive in Sanshui County tomorrow. King Gao Chuang sent a message to ask how our situation is. If our troops fail and we suffer, he can send someone to
The cavalry will come first!"
After hearing these words, not to mention the king's own use, even Zhang Damou and others' faces became extremely ugly. In these words, what was heard was not polite inquiry, but naked sarcasm. What does it mean that the army cannot continue? No.
When it was laughed at that Wang's own troops could not even take over a small Sanshui County, did he still need Gao Yingxiang's help?
Wang Ziyong was not a small-minded person, but he wanted to save face after all. For a moment, his breathing was up and down with anger, and his face was terrifyingly gloomy. He, Wang, had never thought of asking Gao Yingxiang for help. Everything was arranged by the leader Wang Jiayin.
"Everyone, have you all heard these words? Everyone has said this. If we don't argue, won't we become a joke in the eyes of others in the future?"
At this time, Zhang Cunmeng stood up, straightened his back and said angrily: "Chief Wang, don't worry, my subordinates will go to the city in person to supervise the battle. Nai Qiudi, I don't believe it yet. There are so many of us, and we can't win a small one."
Sanshui County? Gao Yingxiang, if he wants to see our jokes, go and have his spring and autumn dreams."
Picking up the helmet on the table, Zhang Cunmeng walked out of the room angrily. Zhang Cunmeng is a very down-to-earth person who always does what he says and never compromises. This is why many people admire Zhang Cunmeng.
The project was in full swing. Zhang Cunmeng stood at the foot of the city with a knife in his hand. He called over several of his leaders and sternly ordered: "Come up to me and take the lead in the fight. If anyone embarrasses me, the officers and soldiers will spare you. I
I won’t let you go. Get ready. I will personally lead the attack in a quarter of an hour. If anyone delays, we will settle the score together."
With the arrival of Zhang Cunmeng, the attack on the city has eased, but no one who is not a fool, whether inside or outside the city, will not be happy. Because it can be seen that the peasant army temporarily retreated in order to prepare for a more violent attack.
Sure enough, without letting anyone take a nap, a new round of attack began. Led by the leaders, the peasant army roared crazily. They carried the ladder and once again embarked on a road to death.
In the city, all the tung oil, arrows and even the wood obtained have been used up. Some soldiers have been cut down with their swords. Normally, in this case, the rebel soldiers would have defeated themselves long ago, but this group of traitor soldiers
Not only did they not retreat, they became more and more crazy as they fought, like a bunch of mad dogs desperate for their lives.
"Kill, whoever can rush to the top of the city and kill Cao Wenzhao will be rewarded by the leader with ten thousand taels of gold and ten beauties."
"Ah...kill, kill all the officers and soldiers, kill Cao Wenzhao!" The roars became louder and louder, and the offensive of the rebel soldiers became more and more crazy.
Under long-term high pressure, the defense of Sanshui County, which was barely maintained, finally showed a crack at this moment.
