4. Starvation to kill fat towns
"Shi Zhong..." At this moment, Wang Qianxiu still held some hope and stretched out his hand.
But Hun Yu had a cold face, and his expression obviously told him not to expect any more.
Then Hun Yu took over the hall and edict and sat on the bed again, but this time he deployed how to attack Feixiangcheng.
"Fei Township, with a small city and a narrow area, the thieves such as Yuanyi, Li Wentong, Shi Dingfan were originally only 3,000 people, but Shi Dingfan brought more than 1,000 people, and the combined troops were less than 5,000. In addition, there were more than 10,000 soldiers, most of which were women, children, elderly and weak. If our army blocked the passage between Fei Township and Weibo Town, then there would be no big problem of capturing Fei Township within the time limit stipulated by the Gao Zhongxuan." Xiahou Zhongxuan offered his advice again.
This man who had betrayed Yuanyi and was reported by Hun Yubao as the new governor of Mingzhou, so he was determined to help the official army completely annihilate the Yuanyi party.
Hun Yu nodded, then calmed down, and turned his eyes to General Shen Ce Longxiang Shang Kegu.
Shang Kegu understood, so he folded his fists and volunteered to say that our army was willing to be the vanguard of the city, and asked Wang Qianxiu, Wang Jie, to lead troops to block the reinforcements that might have been sent by Weibo Town.
"Weizhou is only fifty or sixty miles away from Feixiangcheng. If Tian Xu sent troops to Qingzhang, Qingzhang is the only place to pass. Please ask Wang Qianxiu, the governor of Zhaoyi Army, to lead 5,000 troops and horses to Qingzhang to cut off the way for Weibo's reinforcements. If half of Weizhou soldiers came to Feixiangcheng, they would only be punished for governing Wang Jieshang." Hun Yu was not polite.
"Here." Although Wang Qianxiu was in a very heavy mood, he still firmly accepted such an order.
"The other teams will follow our path to attack Feixiangcheng and will not retreat." Hun Yu said immediately.
Under the city walls of the four miles around Feixiangcheng, war smoke rolled. Hunya used grain and money to hire thousands of local people from Mingzhou to cut down wood, make well railings, donkey carts, and Tongwan cannon cannons. Then the iron blocks on the Tongwan cannon fell down, pulled the swinging arms and flipped them up, and kept throwing the hard mud balls and fireballs into Feixiang city like raindrops.
Shang Kegu ordered the children of Longxiang Army to fill the trenches in Feixiang City with vegetation and wood bundles, then pushed the well railing to the surface of the city wall and let the soldiers climb up, and at the same time pushed the donkey cart under the wall, let the soldiers lie under it, and dig hard with iron turrets.
At the top of the city wall, Yuan Yi and Li Wentong were almost desperate, but they still held swords to supervise the battle. If Wei Bo's army could cross the Zhang River, it would be great to reinforce the place.
The arrowheads shot from Feixiangcheng made a hissing sound, some shot on the wooden structure of the well railing, and some shot on the wrapped cowhide. The soldiers of the Longxiang Army were one by one, covering their bodies with gang cards. The cards were covered with white arrow feathers, and they were both slow and attacking the horse-face wall.
"Substitute early, surrender early!" Under the city, the Fenghua army, who were responsible for the refusal, lined up into huge arrays stretching on both sides, with spears, swords and swords standing in full swing, and kept shouting loudly.
After five consecutive days of attack, the city wall of Feixiang City was dug and collapsed by donkey chariots, the trenches were leveled, and the Wanglou was all destroyed. Yuanyi and other rebel generals exhausted their strength and strategies, but they were still unable to return to the sky, and they were only one step away from the city's trap.
Previously, Tian Xu, a military officer in Daming Prefecture, walked back and forth, looking at the map from time to time. He wanted to send troops to help Yuanyi, but Xing Caojun warned him not to do this and sent an envoy to express his respect for the court as soon as possible, but Tian Xu was unwilling to give up and was absolutely unwilling to accept it.
He also knew that the court and Gao Yue would have to deal with Wei Bo sooner or later.
Wei Bo's generals Liu Zhan and Nie Feng were in the hall at this moment, waiting for Tian Xu's order.
As for Xing Caojun, in order to stabilize the situation, he has returned to Beizhou, north of Weizhou.
I heard that Wang Wujun, who became a German army, was eager to try and was preparing to lead the elite cavalry south to "help" the official army to attack Xing and Ming, but when Li Ziliang's Fengcheng army appeared in Jingxing, Wang Wujun immediately withdrew his team and humbly expressed that he would prepare five thousand stones of military rations to suppress the rebellion.
As for the Lu army in Ziqing Ping, because the governor Li Na had the last breath and was lying on the sickbed, it was impossible for him to come out to help Yuanyi.
"You two bring five thousand soldiers to Qingzhang. If Yuanyi escapes from Feixiangcheng, you two will accept it..." Finally, Tian Xu sighed and issued this helpless order.
In the Ya Soldier Courtyard of Daming Mansion, Nie Feng hurried back to his house, preparing to lead his horse to the schoolyard and order the soldiers to go on the battle.
Under the sun, his daughter, Alu, who was only ten years old, stood in the corridor with Cuju in his arms, looking at his father.
Nie Feng didn't have time to talk to Arrowdo, so he warned her not to walk around at home. This Weizhou City is a place with rivers and canals, and there are many people. My father, I will be able to come back in ten days.
Aro nodded obediently.
After the explanation, Nie Feng said goodbye to his daughter, rode a war horse, left the yard, and rushed to the schoolyard...
However, at this time, Feixiangcheng could no longer hold on.
Not only were the city defense destroyed, but the food was exhausted, but Wei Bo's reinforcements were still missing.
Hun Ye couldn't bear to see that all the people in the city were destroyed, so he asked Lu Lun to write a letter of surrender, tied it with an arrow and shot it in, asking Yuan Yi to think carefully and open the city unconditionally earlier.
"I'm waiting to bear the court!" After receiving Hun Yu's letter, Yuan Yi, Li Wentong and Shi Dingfan both knelt down, kept beating their chests and burst into tears. Then they led the military academy, Du Luobai before the letter, then drew their swords, cut off their hair buns in turn, placed them on the ground, and bowed their heads in the direction of Chang'an, saying that they were willing to surrender and change their faces. They asked the court to promulgate the deyin, and they handed over the city.
However, Hun Yu rode a white horse and shouted under the city: "You have committed a serious crime of rebellion. It is too late to think about Deyin again."
In fact, Hun Yen can’t get Deyin!
"Please wait for us!" On the top of the city, Yuan Yi and others cried and kept kowtowing.
Hun Yen was helpless, he knew that Deyin was absolutely impossible.
So the official army continued to siege Feixiangcheng with no food.
Three more days passed, and the guards in the city were already hungry, their families were even worse, and some people were starving to death.
"Cut the flesh of the starving person, keep guarding!" Li Wentong, a ruthless character, immediately asked Yuan Yi.
Yuan Yi leaned against the pillar. His daughter Ayun was so hungry that she lay on her father's feet in beautiful clothes, and she didn't even have the strength to moan.
"The people who starved to death are all the children and family members of Zhao Yijun... I told them that they wanted to give them wealth, but now they have lost their lives. Where did they get the face to eat their bodies..." Yuan Yi said this, swallowing his saliva, but he only felt that the intestines in his abdomen had become drum faces, and the bones on his body became drumsticks. He kept beating, and his hungry soul was about to be broken. "It's okay to eat meat. I should kill my daughter Ayun first and share it with the soldiers."
Li Wentong cried loudly and said no.
"Anyway, Wei Shuai is her Aweng. If she is eaten and swallowed into the soldiers' stomach, she will lose her Aweng's face." Yuan Yi touched his daughter's hair and said hatefully.
It is only a few dozen miles from Weizhou to Feixiang. These days, even if Tian Xu's reinforcements climb, they should have climbed over.
